Chapter 50 I Kill Myself
In Jinyang City, Li Xin rectified the government affairs and at least restored the original order of the city, so he prepared to return to Xiliang.
This expedition had already dismantled the bandits in Hedong from the root. As for the powerful people who took advantage of the bandits' chaos, he also wrote to the court and proposed several practical and useful methods of weakening, but unfortunately the court did not use it.
Officials in Jinyang, those who were guarding the city, were brutally killed by the sect bandits, and their families were even more miserable.
Those who fled out early took advantage of it. At this time, they came back with a swagger and transformed into a single person and temporarily increased their power.
In front of the Jinyang Yamen Office, all officials came to see you off.
These officials flattered Li Xin, and their flattery was so sarcastic that it made people get tired of it.
Li Xin couldn't stand this, so she snorted coldly and left, leaving the officials stunned.
"This Xiliang barbarian is so rude that he clearly despises us. He will definitely write a letter to slander us."
"Prime Minister Wei Tong said it right. In order to avoid being harmed by this barbarian, we might as well report to the court in advance, saying that this person relied on the Xiliang army to plunder and kill innocent people in Jinyang."
"What Lord Cheng said is very... We must jointly sign and submit it to the court before we can pay attention to it."
......
A group of brightly dressed officials returned to the yamen and ordered the officials to prepare their pens and inks.
He found a small official from Jinshi, spread out rice paper, and flew away the dragon and phoenix danced, and scolded Xiliang Bing and Li Xin in a bloody way.
The people around him cheered loudly, praising his literary talent. The pen-holder was proud and humble: "Where are you, everyone is in love."
On the high hills in the suburbs of the city, Li Xin stood up with a horse. From a distance, there were still corpses everywhere outside Jinyang City.
A gust of wind blew, carrying a few snowflakes into Li Xin's neck, making him feel cold.
"This year's severe winter, Hedong is still like this, and the grassland is even worse. Fortunately, this cold winter makes the Mongols unable to move south. My Daqi can temporarily keep you safe for a few months. However, after the cold winter, you will inevitably freeze countless flocks of sheep under the tents of the Mongolian tribes. At that time, they will definitely go south and become even more cruel."
"It's a pity that the military generals in Hedong are incompetent and the civil servants are weak, but I have Jinyang in my hands. What's the point of being a group of Hu outside the border? What's more, there are a group of thieves. The emperor is addicted to the Taoist teachings of the Taoist scholars and is dedicated to seeking immortality, regardless of the sufferings of the people. I don't know how many people will die in this catastrophe next year."
Behind him, a young general clasped his fist and said, "Major General, if you are not in his position, you will not do your own thing. Let's go back to Xiliang. The food and grass are almost exhausted, and the surrounding counties are unable to replenish them. The soldiers endured hunger and cold, and there were many complaints."
Li Xin nodded helplessly and said, "Go!"
The Xiliang soldiers quelled the Hedong bandits, but they walked in disgrace. Not only did they endure hunger, but the people on both sides of the road looked at them with empty eyes.
The war left the earth full of devastation. Although it was not the fault of the people of Xiliang, how could they tell it.
The people only knew that there was no chance to survive, unless they sold themselves to the high-ranking family and asked for some food in their fortress.
Unfortunately, those young or young girls in high schools are said to be in Baibo Valley in the east, and the living gods who used to provide disaster relief and rescue, Taoist Zhang from Yanqing Temple is reopening the porridge shed there.
Countless refugees struggled to support their elders and Europe and rushed to the east.
Li Xin's troops went west and went against these refugees, as if they could not see each other.
A young Xiliang general sighed, spitted, and cursed: "This battle is so fucking frustrating."
"I don't know who I beat you for. Grandma doesn't love you, and uncle doesn't love you."
Li Xin looked back at him, his eyes very solemn, and the young man stopped complaining.

In the study, there are several authentic works of Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty. This was given by Liu Cai, the son of Liu Shangying, the Minister of Personnel, who had just left.
Chen Shou held his hands behind his back and admired it. Although he couldn't tell what was going on, Chen Shou was still very happy.
This thing is at least expensive.
Carefully dusted off a little dust on it. Huang Zhen, who was sitting behind her, couldn't help but say, "The last time I got rid of Liu Qin was because Wei Yunse made a fool of himself and assassinated the master. But he couldn't do it again, let us catch the handle."
"If he doesn't come, we can help him." Chen Shou turned around and smiled, "I assassinate myself, and then we fall on his head."
Huang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some worry, "Is this OK?"
The emperor is a dying man who is old and I don’t know how many days he can last. If he doesn’t take advantage of his breath, he will get rid of his political enemies quickly and what are you waiting for.
Chen Shou nodded and said, "You are ready, mobilize people and solve the case quickly."
"Who will we catch this time?"
"Censor Chen Xian, I have repeatedly impeached me this month, and have also instructed his disciples to make a big fuss in the palace newspaper."
"I understand."
The two looked at each other and started laughing together.
After seeing Huang Zhen off, Chen Shouxing rushed back to the inner courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he saw Tao'er leaning against the door and chatting with a new maid.
Seeing Chen Shou coming in, he came forward with a smile and came over. Chen Shou pinched her pink face and said, "Go and prepare some hot water to serve me to bathe. I want to enter the palace."
Tao'er did not doubt that she had it, and brought a group of maids, prepared soap croquettes, sacks and handkerchiefs, and adjusted the water temperature.
Chen Shou washed clean and ate well. He stood up with satisfaction and said, "I may not be back tonight, so you don't have to wait for me."
After getting on the carriage, Chen Shou made a few words with his ears, and looked over with a look, and everyone nodded.
Chen Shou had just entered the carriage. He had already made arrangements and was waiting to kill Chen Xian this time.
Last month, I checked the impeachment memorial. In addition to Li Xin, Chen Xian is the most active. The censor has the power to monitor the six ministries. Chen Shou has been very envious of it.
When entering the palace, Chen Shou first went to Chunhe Palace. Emperor Gengyuan has to see him almost every day recently. Sometimes when he first met in the morning, he had some bullshit feelings at noon, so he also called Chen Shou to explain it to him.
Chen Shou's trick is also very simple, it is to meet his preferences. He followed his thoughts and made Emperor Gengyuan very satisfied every time.
After coming out of the palace, he pretended to come to the East Palace and talked and laughed with several Yihui's lieutenants who were originally colleagues.
The Imperial Guard was bribed by him and Miao De a few days ago. These people became more enthusiastic when they saw Chen Shou.
After chatting for a while, I felt that the time was almost over. Chen Shou hid himself and walked around the path to a small courtyard.
There is only a quiet wooden house in the yard. When I pushed the door open, a little maid was napping with her cheek.
Chen Shou knocked on the table, and the little maid rubbed her fleshy eyes. When she saw that it was him, her face turned red.
