Chapter 238 The class teacher returns to the dynasty
After sending Lu Pheasant away, Lin Ze was no longer interested in continuing to hunt Zhang Liang and others. From his point of view, the fish had already escaped the net, and the sea and sky were vast, so it would be a waste of effort to fish it out.
Hu Hai followed his kindness and ordered the imperial guards to withdraw to Shangqiu. He also followed Lin Ze's suggestion and rewarded the team that found clues by the stream two thousand gold. This was considered an end to the matter.
Halfway up Mangdang Mountain, countless boulders are piled up in one place, with jars of fire oil placed next to them.
Zhang Liang watched from a distance as the hunting guards approached the mountainside and suddenly turned back. He couldn't help but murmured: "This rebel is interesting. Did he guess that I would set up an ambush? He actually evacuated all of them."
go back."
Zhang Liang felt bored as he talked. The Qin State was still so rich in talents. He didn't know when he would be able to avenge his country's blood. Then, could Liu Ji succeed in fighting for the dragon?
At this time, Liu Ji was as comfortable as a fish swimming in the sea. He finally got rid of Zhang Liang's control. With his middle-grade cultivation, why couldn't he live a good life?
However, it is not easy to deal with being identified by the military advisor as an associate of the rebels. Peixian is afraid that he will not be able to go back, and if he goes back, his family will be harmed.
Liu Ji thought carefully: It would be better to go to Qi Di by himself, where the sky is high and the ground is far away, and the military advisor may not be able to catch him. He really has to thank Miss Lu for this time.
Alas, Miss Lu is really a good-looking girl with a kind heart. It would be really great for me, Liu Ji, to marry her.
But how could others take a fancy to him? Liu Jiman sighed.
Suddenly, it appeared in Liu Ji's mind that Zhang Liang had told him that he was a real dragon and was destined to be an emperor. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart and secretly swore: If I become an emperor in the future, I will definitely marry Miss Lu as my queen.
…
What Liu Ji didn't know was that Miss Lu, whom he had always missed, was ordered by Lin Ze to be placed under house arrest in the mansion and was not allowed to leave at will.
On the other hand, some stewards brought over from Chang'an by Lu Pheasant would come over from time to time to ask for instructions on matters that they could not decide on.
Lu Pheasant also met them with Lin Ze's consent.
Lin Ze did not stop this, but arranged for Qianyuan to listen on the sidelines and let him learn more experience in managing industries.
Yes, Lin Ze planned to let Qianyuan stay in Shangqiu, lead a group of principals, and manage some of the Lu family's properties.
Lin Ze specifically asked Hu Hai for instructions and appointed Qian Yuan as the new deputy minister of finance.
One day, when Lu Zhi saw Lin Ze, he couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Lin Ze, you can actually let me get in touch with people from the Lu family? Aren't you afraid that I will encourage them to rebound and slack off?"
Lin Ze just replied calmly: "What's there to worry about? If the Lu family really wants to betray Mr. Hu Hai, and the others are no longer reliable, I don't mind taking the time to clear out the Lu family and replace them with others."
Lu Pheasant was speechless for a moment.
…
After waiting for ten days, another imperial edict from Emperor Qin belatedly arrived in Shangqiu.
In this imperial edict, Emperor Qin severely commended Hu Hai and various commanders, and ordered Hu Hai to lead his army back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and then reward them based on their merits.
After receiving the imperial edict, Hu Hai immediately summoned the entire army and issued military orders, and the entire army was ready to return to the court.
At this time, the Wei family had been almost integrated, including how to divide some of the Wei family's industrial interests. Lin Ze's initial expectation was that it would be a 50-50 split.
Of course, the split portion will not be pure harvest, but half of the total output, and other necessary expenses will be deducted from the Wei family's half.
However, Lin Ze did not expect the Wei family to return home. In addition to letting Qian Yuan take charge of some principal affairs, he deliberately left the relatively stable Zhang Han with five thousand border troops to assist.
Lin Ze specifically told the two of them that all matters related to the industry here should be handled by Qianyuan, and Zhang Han would only cooperate with force to solve some obstacles. The rights and responsibilities between the two were clearly defined.
After arranging things properly, Lin Ze followed Hu Hai and slowly rushed to Chang'an.
As for why he didn't speed up, Lin Ze had already thought of it before.
Try to delay as much time as possible, and let Hu Hai take advantage of the time they get together to win over these leaders of the Imperial Guard.
Therefore, on his way back, Hu Hai really had a small banquet every day and a big banquet every three days. He entertained those high-ranking commanders and praised them for their help in suppressing the rebellion. As a general, he had to thank them.
At first, the commanders of the Imperial Guard were a little restrained, but after getting to know Hu Hai later, they relaxed a lot and had a much better impression of Hu Hai.
In the past, I had heard that Mr. Hu Hai was extremely naughty, but when I saw him today, he seemed pretty good. When I think about it more deeply, it becomes somewhat self-evident who the person spreading the rumors is.
It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention this matter. For them, staying neutral is the best thing.
It was still winter when the army set out from Chang'an, but when it returned it was already covered with willows.
The spring of Emperor Qin's year 492 arrived unknowingly. However, in the past year, two powerful men of the Qin Empire fell one after another. This was destined to be an unforgettable year.
When Hu Hai led his army near the city gate, he found a group of troops waiting there, and the leader was none other than the current Prime Minister Li Si.
When Li Si saw Hu Hai, he saluted from afar and said, "Old minister Li Si, by your Majesty's order, I am here to welcome Mr. Hu Hai back to the court."
Seeing this, Hu Hai quickly got off his horse and said in return: "The Prime Minister has offended me." Then he complained: "Father, it's true, how can I bother the Prime Minister with such a trivial matter?"
Li Si just smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very satisfied with the young master's suppression of Wei Yang's rebellion. He originally planned to come to pick him up in person, but it was just because the father was not polite to welcome his son, so he asked the old minister to take his place. The old minister was honored by this and it was too late.
Well, how can you say it’s troublesome?”
Hu Hai looked solemn and saluted in the direction of Xianyang Palace: "My son, I would like to thank my father for his kindness."
Li Si looked at Hu Hai with a smile as he finished the ceremony and said, "Young master is interested. Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace. You should follow me and enter the palace as soon as possible."
Hu Hai hesitated and said: "Then how should these 100,000 troops be arranged?"
Li Si still said happily: "Your Majesty has his own arrangements."
After speaking, his face was straight, and he said to all the commanders: "Your Majesty has decreed that the Imperial Guards will return to the previous camp immediately, and everything will be in accordance with the previous arrangements."
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards replied: "The general will obey the order." Then he led the Imperial Guards into Chang'an City through the side gate and returned to the previous camp.
Li Si then pointed to a luxurious carriage with a smile and said to Hu Hai: "Master, please get in the carriage."
Hu Hai turned his head to look at Lin Ze, who coughed dryly: "My subordinates are waiting for you at Lin Mansion."
Hu Hai understood, strode towards the carriage, and sat in it. The coachman immediately started driving and rushed towards Xianyang Palace.
