At the fourth update, it was still dark. Three or four carriages took advantage of the night and quietly left the city from the East City Gate under the escort of an imperial guard.

"Ono, we are finally going home!"

After leaving the city, a fat man sat on the shaft of a carriage in the middle, waving his horse whip and shouted excitedly.

This big fat man is Brother Xiong, and he is naturally his gay friend, Ono.

In fact, Brother Xiong wanted to go back to his hometown a long time ago. Who doesn’t want to return home in glory in this world?

Of course, he didn't want to move to Yangzhou to live. In fact, Feng Feilou is his home. Sister Liu and Meng'er are his family. He just wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look. This is human nature.

Han Xuanpin, who was riding on a night train for the first time, was also very excited. Under the protection of Xiao Wuyi and Han Yi, he lay on the window, with his bright big eyes open, looking at everything outside the car without blinking. Although it was pitch black outside the car, he was also fascinated by it.

After a while, he turned around and suddenly threw himself into Han Yi's arms, and asked in a slight voice: "Dad, where are we going?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Didn't you tell you yesterday? We are going back to our father's hometown, that is, Yangzhou."

Han Xuanpin asked again: "Why do we have to go back to our father's hometown?"

Xiao Wuyi said angrily: "You just like to ask why." In fact, they never told Han Xuanpin about this matter. Han Xuanpin is still too young. She can't say it's because your father is unfilial. She also knows that Han Xuanpin, who is a ghost, actually wants to ask this. He told him yesterday that he would set out to Yangzhou tonight.

Han Xuanpin argued with reason: "But the child really doesn't know!"

This is better than his father. Han Yi certainly understood Han Xuanpin's psychology. He sighed, slapped his son's little head, and said, "You are not young anymore. Some things should be made known to you."

Han Xuanpin, who was a little man and a big ghost, nodded deeply in agreement.

Xiao Wuyi looked at Han Yi in a little surprised.

Han Yi said: "It's actually all my fault for Dad."

Han Xuanpin said curiously: "What did Dad do wrong?"

Han Yi sighed: "Because of my father's mistake, we compensated all the money at home and lost our jobs. We can't continue living in Chang'an and have to go back to our hometown."

Han Xuanpin blinked and suddenly asked, "Sister Xin'er said that the child likes to eat Hunyang is expensive and requires a lot of money. Can the child still eat Hunyang in the future?"

This "Huanyang Dihu" is a famous dish in Chang'an. Only rich families can eat it. Han Xuanpin likes it very much. In Xiao Mansion, of course he can eat it casually.

Han Yi didn't expect that Han Xuanpin cared about this. The child's association was really hard to figure out, which made him stunned for a moment, and then choked up and said, "Son, I'm sorry, this is probably very difficult."

Xiao Wuyi tried hard to hold back his smile when he heard the conversation between them, and he tried his best to hold back his smile.

Han Xuanpin's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said with a slight mouth: "But the child wants to eat."

Han Yi said: "That's what you must work hard in the future and make a lot of money."

Han Xuanpin nodded, "The child must make a lot of money in the future." As he said that, he threw himself into Han Yi's arms, feeling so sad.

Han Yi held his son and said movedly: "Good son, Dad and Mom will depend on you in the future."

Han Xuanpin suddenly raised his head and said, "The child just wanted to make money to buy Hun Yang and suddenly ate it."

"." Han Yi suddenly felt embarrassed.

Xiao Wuyi couldn't help it, covered her mouth and started to laugh secretly.

Han Xuanpin seemed to hear this strange sound, turned around, with tears on her face, very pitiful, and asked, "Mom, have you cried too?"

"Um."

Xiao Wuyi's expression changed and nodded in great pain.

Han Xuanpin said: "Doesn't you also want to eat Hun Yang? "

"Um!"

Xiao Wuyi's eyes were also wet, but she was suffocated.

Han Xuanpin suddenly turned his eyes and said, "Well, if you make money, will you buy Hun Yang Di Hu'er's food?"

"Of course!" Xiao Wuyi had just spoken and suddenly realized that he was so angry. After your father fooled you, you came to fool me. Is it easy to bully me? His face turned cold and he snorted: "If you want to eat, just make money to buy it yourself. It's really a virtue with your father."

"No, the child has to be as good as his mother."

Han Xuanpin immediately abandoned Han Yi, the bankrupt businessman, and turned to Xiao Wuyi's arms, and began to act spoiled in various ways.

Xiao Wuyi was angry and funny when she heard this. She gently patted Han Xuanpin's little butt and glared at Han Yi fiercely.

Han Yi shrugged innocently

The sky gradually became brighter.

On a small hill next to the road, two middle-aged men were standing, Yuanjiu and Cui Pingzhong.

"This bastard is really unfilial. I left secretly and asked his father-in-law to help him with it." Yuan Jiu couldn't help but curse at the carriage passing by.

After a while, he suddenly turned to look at Cui Pingzhong beside him. Seeing Cui Pingzhong flirting at Han Yi's carriage, he shouted: "Old Cui."

Cui Pingzhong seemed not to hear it, and Yuanjiu shouted again: "Old Cui."

Cui Pingzhong was stunned and turned around and looked at Yuanjiu curiously.

Yuanjiu asked, "What are you thinking?"

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "I didn't think of anything."

Yuanjiu immediately said dissatisfied: "When did you start to hide everything from me?"

Cui Pingzhong sighed softly and said, "It's not that I hide it from you, but that your brother-in-law makes me feel indescribable."

Yuanjiu said curiously: "How do you say this?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "Although prime ministers like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are all unfathomable, their unfathomableness is limited to targeting individuals. For civilians like us, they are prime ministers, and your brother-in-law is like a fog, and it covers us all."

Yuanjiu thought for a long time and said, "Why am I becoming more and more confused as I listen?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "Actually, I feel confused. I originally thought I was an outsider, but now I feel like I am also in this fog."

Yuanjiu touched his beard and said, "I seem to feel this way after hearing what you said. Since I came back to Chang'an this time, I have done things that I would definitely not do in the past, and it has it all related to this kid."

Cui Pingzhong narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that even if he was afraid of being able to outweigh the master's achievements, he would not use his father's grave. With his wisdom, there should be many ways to resolve it. Is this really just a coincidence? But in him, all I saw was a calculation, and few coincidences would happen to him. If it weren't for a coincidence, why did he do this? And what did he want to get? Why would even I, a civilian, feel in the fog?

Yuanjiu, who was standing beside him, saw Cui Pingzhong's face showing a rare look of distress, and felt great comfort in his heart and laughed secretly. Even Old Cui was so distressed when facing that boy, then I would not have lost before!

At the same time, many people gathered on the largest wharf outside Chang'an City. They came here with one purpose, which was to bid farewell to Han Yi. It can be seen that Han Yi still has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people, because Han Yi has always been worried about this.

But to their disappointment, they did not see Han Yi, but only saw an old man dressed in a well-decorated manner, which was Xiao Rui.

It turned out that Han Yi knew that there would definitely be many people coming to see him off, but he didn't like this sensational scene, so he deliberately released the news that he would leave Chang'an by boat today, but in fact he left in a carriage at night. Of course, Li Zhi knew about it and sent the imperial guards to see him off.

Yuan Mudan, Yang Feixue and the others also set out one after another. At that time, they will meet in Luoyang and then take a boat to the south of the Yangtze River.

Although Xiao Rui didn't like this kind of scene very much, there was no way. The carriage was too bumpy, and his old bones couldn't stand it. It would be much more comfortable to ride a boat. However, Han Yi was not there, and he didn't need to deal with these people.

"I really didn't expect that he would really leave Chang'an like this."

Cui Jieren suddenly said.

The Lu Shigua on the side said, "If he insists on staying in Chang'an and does not want to go back to mourn for his father, even if he becomes the prime minister, it will be shameful."

Wang Xuan said: "I don't think that's the case with Brother Cui."

Cui Jieren nodded and said, "It all seemed to be too sudden. Even though I knew that His Majesty allowed Han Yi to go home to mourn, I still thought Han Yi would not leave. There would be a turning point in the middle, but I never thought that there was no turning point at all. It was really surprising."

Xu Mansion.

"Uncle, it turns out that Han Yi had left Chang'an in a carriage last night." Wang Dejian said with a slight breath.

"Take it seriously?" Xu Jingzong said suspiciously.

"I can't be wrong. This was told by the soldiers who were on duty at the East City Gate last night. His Majesty also personally asked someone to escort Han Yi out of the city."

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "But why did he do this?"

Wang Dejian knew that although his uncle looked down on Han Yi, he was still quite afraid of Han Yi and said, "Uncle, please don't worry, there should be no conspiracy here. I think Han Yi just doesn't want to be scolded and leave Chang'an."

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. OK! This kid finally left, OK!"

He said "Okay!" as if he was relieved, but the second sentence "Okay!" seemed to be a little confused.

In his original plan, Han Yi is now his number one enemy. He has been thinking about how to deal with Han Yi and suppress Han Yi. Now Han Yi suddenly left, causing him not to know what to do next, as if he had lost his direction. He frowned for a while, and suddenly sighed and said, "I was busy helping His Majesty and the Queen to deal with veterans like Changsun Wuji, which has led to my never-ending time for the country to care about internal affairs. Many domestic policies were made by Han Yi. Now Changsun Wuji is dead, and Han Yi has also left. Do you think, should my uncle care about internal affairs?"

When Wang Dejian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no! He knew Xu Jingzong so well, he was a literati, with good writing, very gorgeous writing, and good at political struggles. However, in terms of internal affairs, that was not what he was good at. This is what Han Yi was good at. If he wanted to do it, it would be like digging his own grave. But he couldn't say that, and he also understood Xu Jingzong's psychology. Now that he is a great minister and the enemy has left again, if he has nothing to do, he will appear very incompetent. However, Wang Dejian is definitely not a false reputation. His eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "Don't be careless. Now Pei Xingjian, Zhao Jiman, Wang Fangyi and others have all won the trust of His Majesty because of the battle in the northwest. If we are careless, these people will be in trouble in the future."

Xu Jingzong sighed: "But Your Majesty has decided to stop the investigation of Changsun Wuji's rebellion. I cannot disobey the emperor's order."

In fact, his main target was Changsun Wuji. As for Pei Xingjian and the others, Xu Jingzong just wanted to deal with it at the time, because in his eyes, these people were small fish and shrimps, and the meat on the chopping board. Unfortunately, the war broke out in the Northwest, which caused these people to escape this disaster. He felt that if he tried his best to deal with them, he would be dissatisfied. These people should be handed over to Yuan Gongyu and his minions to deal with. What he needed was to control the overall situation.

Wang Dejian pondered slightly and said, "Uncle, in fact, the matter of Changsun Wuji is ultimately due to a struggle between scholars and commoners. Changsun Wuji is alone, no matter how capable he is, he cannot cause such a big storm. The key is the support of a Guanzhong noble behind him. If we want to consolidate our position in the court, we must continue to suppress the gentry. If we do not suppress these gentry, the Guanzhong nobles may still return to the court. In addition, this has always been what Your Majesty and the Queen think. Why not start from this aspect and consolidate our position?"

Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up. This idea was really good! The struggle between scholars and common people has lasted for many years and was the main contradiction of the Tang Dynasty. If he did this vote well, it would have to be remembered forever! And this is what he is good at, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "No, yes, you are very right, we can't relax."
