Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 234: Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

Fan Xin has always been known for his toughness, but when it comes to his subordinates, he still doesn't be ruthless after all.

They just asked people to tie up Tu Xiong and take him away.

The defenders on the city wall who had no intention of resisting saw that even the general had surrendered. They did not want to die, so they put down their weapons and walked out of the city gate.

"Xiang Fan, for the sake of giving the king a pair of horseshoes, I would like to advise you."

"Rebellion is a serious crime that involves confiscating one's family and exterminating one's family. His Majesty will definitely throw a lot of jails when he returns to the palace. Don't be confused."

Seeing Fan Xin taking away the generals who participated in the rebellion, Wang Xiaojie gave a meaningful reminder.

"Thank you, General Wang, for reminding me. I just killed this gang before locking them up, and then handed them over to the court for disposal when the matter calmed down." Fan Xin said with a smile.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaojie shook his head and stopped talking. Of course, emphasizing friendship will win the hearts of his subordinates.

But more people still set themselves on fire.

Controlling the Luoyang city defense was not a trivial matter, and the defense change was not completely completed until the evening.

During this period, Manager Geng handed over the emperor's decree to Fan Xin.

After reading the above, Fan Xin ordered Lin Tie to lead the Shenji Battalion to be stationed in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, and he led a team of soldiers and horses into Luoyang City.

Along the way, people spontaneously took to the streets to wave to the army.

There are sergeants everywhere in Luoyang City these days, so scared that the people hide in their homes and dare not even go out.

Now, Fan Xin is back with his army, and he can finally resume his old life.

Vientiane Shrine, main hall.

Wu Zetian, wearing a crown facing the sky and a five-clawed golden dragon suit, walked up and down the Jinluan Hall, glancing towards the entrance of the hall from time to time.

Shangguan Wan'er on the side smiled.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xin has just entered the palace. He is still some distance from Shangyang Palace. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Glancing at her, Wu Zetian shook her head and said with determination.

"No, I will stand here and wait for Fan Aiqing! Until he appears!"

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Shangguan Wan'er stopped trying to persuade him and looked outside with the emperor.

I don’t know how he is doing after being out for so long.

As the night grew darker, a chamberlain stumbled into the hall and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the general of the auxiliary country has entered Yingtianmen and is heading this way."

The ministers were refreshed and looked up outside the palace, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Without this young man, their fate might have been different.

Soon, a young man wearing a purple python suit appeared in sight.

He strode forward with a golden dragon sword in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xin is here to see you!"

"Fan Aiqing!"

Seeing Fan Xin walking into the hall, Wu Zetian hurriedly walked down the steps and held his shoulders.

He said with an excited expression.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! With you here, I can finally have a solid sleep!"

"Your Majesty is serious."

Wu Zetian looked at Fan Xin from top to bottom.

When he saw Fan Xin's palm being cut by the sword and bleeding, he was immediately shocked.

"Whoever hurt this, get out of here!"

Fan Xin was Wu Zetian's most valued minister, but now he was hurt like this. She wished she could kill the rebels with a thousand knives!

Feeling the emperor's murderous intention, Fan Xinxin said with shame.

"Your Majesty, I am not used to using a knife, so I did it myself."

After hearing that Fan Xin was accidentally injured, Wu Zetian's expression softened slightly.

"You have just come back and take a rest. I will talk to you after I finish handling the court affairs."

The imperial doctor was ordered to take Fan Xin to bandage, and Wu Zetian sat back on the throne.

His eyes swept over the ministers one by one, he slapped the armrest heavily and shouted.

"Where is Liu Da, leader of the Interior Guard Pavilion?"

"Chen is here!"

A man with gloomy eyes stood out from the corner.

"The Wu Sansi case involves many things. I order you to be the chief trial minister, Zhou Yunyi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zhou Tong, the young minister of Dali Temple, to be the assessor ministers."

"You are given one month to quickly arrest the relevant persons involved in the case, out of respect for the law!"

The three people whose names were called bowed in unison.

"I will obey your orders!"

As she had just returned to the palace, Wu Zetian announced her withdrawal from the court after appointing the ministers handling the case.

When only the monarch and his ministers were left in the hall, Wu Zetian ordered people to bring wine and food and place them on the table between them.

"This is the steamed seabass I asked Wan'er to make. You can try it."

"No wonder it tastes so good. It turned out to be made by Miss Shangguan."

Fan Xin glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, picked up a spoon, took a spoonful and drank it into his mouth.

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and took a piece of fish to taste.

The meal lasted for two hours. During this period, Fan Xin talked about Ge Hong's killing of Liang Liang and taking credit, which made Wu Zetian angry and cursed.

He also talked about reducing the tax burden for Lanzhou.

Wu Zetian played all of them accurately without exception.

Before leaving, looking at Fan Xin's back, Wu Zetian hesitated and said.

"I heard that you haven't slept for several days. Go home and have a good rest. You don't have to attend the court meeting."

Fan Xin's back froze, and then he walked out without looking back.

Under the setting sun, his back stretched...

Wu Zetian sighed softly, turned around and walked towards Guanfeng Hall.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, the place was decorated with lights and colorful and full of people.

There were hundreds of servants alone. They were all very happy when they heard that their prime minister was back.

He led an army of 100,000 back and was escorted by King Qin. What kind of achievement is this? I can't find many in the history books.

Princess Taiping came to the courtyard surrounded by several housekeepers and said majestically.

"Please give me some tips. The prince-in-law has made great achievements this time and will be promoted in a few days."

"If he is unhappy because of family matters, don't blame me for being rude!"

The servants patted their chests and promised that nothing would go wrong.

At this time a laugh came.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Highness, the princess, is looking better and better."

Looking back, she saw Shangguan Wan'er, and Princess Taiping showed a smile.

"It turns out to be Miss Shangguan, what brought you here?"

"I came here to visit the young prince on your Majesty's order." Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile, "How is it? Is the baby about to be born?"

Hearing this, Princess Taiping touched her belly and said sweetly.

"It's almost here. Counting the days, it will be here in two months."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Shangguan Wan'er's slightly bulging belly, walked closer and joked.

"Looking at Miss Shangguan's belly, she must be four months old. I wonder who his father is?"

Although Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a loose official uniform, she still discovered the former's pregnancy with her keen observation.

I just don’t know who is so powerful that Shangguan Wan’er, known as the heroine prime minister, can keep secrets.

Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face changed slightly, and she coughed unnaturally.

"Now is not the time to say it. Let's wait until some time later."

Princess Taiping didn't think much about it. After all, it was understandable that a power-loving woman like Shangguan Wan'er didn't want family affairs to delay her future.

While the two women were talking, Fan Xin walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Consort, you've come back just in time. I'm planning to buy some nearby shops. What do you think?"

Princess Taiping said happily.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xin smiled bitterly.

"No need, pack your things, it's time for us to leave."
