Chapter 1062 Return to Chang'an
Kong Shan immediately took several steps back, not expecting Li Feng to control the cavalry so easily.
Liu Hai and Liu Ziyan were completely panicked. They came for revenge and were fully prepared. How could they lose so easily.
"Zhou Shu, arrest them all." Li Feng ordered.
"Yes, Marquis Lantian." Zhou Shu responded.
Zhou Shu then ordered the officers to arrest Liu Hai and Kongshan's group.
Liu Hai and Liu Ziyan were paralyzed on the ground. They knew that everything was over and their doom was coming.
Kongshan, on the other hand, had no fear and allowed the officials to tie him up. His mission had been completed long ago. He killed Li Feng just because Li Feng had offended him.
When Ban Hong saw that the official wanted to tie up his father and son, he quickly broke away from the official and ran to Li Feng, knelt down and said: "Lantian Marquis, Mr. Wei, we are unjust. We were deceived just like the old family leader Zhou."
Banfu also ran over, knelt down and said: "Master Hou, please have mercy. I have offended Mr. Hou. That is my business and has nothing to do with my father or the entire Ban family."
Zhou Tu also came to Li Feng and said: "Marquis Lantian, although we didn't know we were deceived, we still made mistakes. I hope Marquis Lantian can give us a lighter punishment."
Zhou Shu also followed up and said: "Master Hou, my father is old and frail, and he has a clear stand. Please show mercy to Mr. Hou."
Zhou Yi said: "Marquis Lantian, I made a mistake and I will bear it myself. Please let my grandfather go."
Li Feng waved his hand and said: "The court will decide the merits and demerits. This matter is no small matter. Zhou Shu, as the magistrate of Luoyang County, you should carefully guard these people, and then write a memorial and send it to Chang'an."
"Yes, Marquis Lantian." Zhou Shu responded.
"Thank you, Marquis Lantian." Zhou Tu and Ban Hong said at the same time.
Zhou Yi and Ban Fu were a little confused. How on earth was Li Feng going to deal with them?
Li Feng said: "It's getting late. Mr. Wei and I have to go on our way. Besides, those men in black are all witnesses. Don't let anything happen to them."
"Your Majesty knows, and your Majesty sent an official to escort you and Mr. Wei?"
"No need, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt us." Li Feng said very confidently.
After arranging everything, Li Feng and Wei Zheng set off for Chang'an again.
Wei Zheng said: "Li Feng, you made me admire you with admiration. Not to mention the assassination, you were so brave that you took care of them all by yourself.
You were able to obtain confessions from a group of killers, learn the truth of the matter, and make arrangements in advance, which shows that you are resourceful and intelligent.
You were able to pull off so many things while being surrounded by a large army, and still be able to control the overall situation in the end. The most important thing is that you are not greedy for credit and give the credit to Zhou Shu."
Li Feng waved his hand and said: "I'm not as good as you said. It's just that people will fight tooth and nail to survive."
"Excessive humility is pride, just admit it."
"Haha... Then I'll admit it and go back to Chang'an."
"good."
The two galloped their horses and entered Chang'an City before the city gate closed.
…
The next day, Wei Zheng and Li Feng entered the palace to return their orders to Li Er.
After meeting Li Er, Li Feng and Wei Zheng told what happened in Luoyang.
Li Er suddenly became furious: "You bastard, a mere member of the Liu family dared to murder an official of the imperial court, my son-in-law. This is simply unforgivable."
Li Feng said: "Father-in-law, since the matter has been resolved, let Dali Temple handle it. There is just one thing that we need to be careful about."
"What is more important than assassinating you?" Li Er asked.
Wei Zheng said: "Are you talking about the empty mountain? No, the Fusang Kingdom?"
"Yes, I have been saying that they are white-eyed wolves, but I didn't expect that they have already taken action. There is Kongshan in Luoyang, but I don't know who is there in other places?" Li Feng said.
Li Er said: "No matter who it is, I will make them pay the price."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I guess the Luoyang County Magistrate will send a memorial and then let the people from Dali Temple investigate."
"That's fine. Take a guard with you when you go out from now on. I don't want you to run into assassins again."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Er said: "As for those who despise the academy, no matter who they are, they will not be admitted for life. Let Wei Qing handle this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng said.
Li Er asked again: "After Luoyang, where will your next academy be built?"
Li Feng said: "The construction of the academy will be delayed. I want to first train a group of masters in various places, just like Luoyang, hold examinations, and then build the academy in a selected place."
Li Er nodded slightly and said, "That's okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Okay." Li Feng nodded.
"You go back and rest for a few days. When the court meets the day after tomorrow, the kings of the countries in the Western Region will also attend the court."
"They actually came?" Wei Zheng said very surprised.
Li Er said with a smile: "You have to ask Li Feng about this. It all depends on him. Now that the trade routes in the Western Regions have been completely opened, the bandits on the road have been eliminated by the Turkic army, and they have come to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty."
"That's it." Wei Zheng suddenly realized.
"Li Feng, go meet these kings. They all want to do business with the Tang Dynasty and have put forward many demands. These demands seem to be very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that no one except you will dare to say whether they are beneficial to the Tang Dynasty or not."
It's a disadvantage.
For this reason, the ministers in the court all had their own opinions and were divided into three groups. One group agreed, one group did not agree, and the other group remained silent.
I want to know your opinion."
Li Feng nodded and said: "Okay, leave this matter to me, but I hope to have the final decision. I want to sign the contract directly with those kings."
"Yes, as long as it is beneficial to the court, you can make the decision."
"Okay, I'll go meet them now."
"There is one more thing you have to deal with." Li Er said again.
"What happened?" Li Feng asked.
"It's okay. After the great court meeting, I will have a banquet for the ministers and kings of various countries. I am not worried about the taste of the ministers. I am worried about the taste of the kings of various countries.
I don’t want Datang to be said that it doesn’t know how to cook.”
Li Feng nodded and said: "Promise to complete the task."
"Okay, please step back. Li Feng, go find Cheng Qian and ask him to go with you to meet the kings of various countries and train him."
Li Feng nodded slightly and said: "Okay."
Wei Zheng asked: "Your Majesty, how is the prince doing after he comes back?"
"What does Wei Qing mean by this?"
Li Feng rushed to answer: "Old Wei means, has Shuofang's trip changed Cheng Qian?"
Li Er showed a smile and said: "Haha... Cheng Qian has matured a lot, and suddenly there are many more ideas in his mind. I am very pleased."
"That's good, we're leaving."
"I excuse myself."
Li Er waved his hand to signal them to leave. Looking at their leaving figures, he muttered to himself: "What are these two guys doing?"
