Three years ago, Di Yan's grandmother passed away, and she was more than a little sad. Now that her father had an accident again, Di Yan felt that she could not bear it anymore, so she hurriedly asked the maid to pack her clothes and prepare to rush back to Luoyang.

In the room, Di Yan sat at the table and shed tears. Wang Qingyu next to her advised her: "Uncle just fainted, and I think it's normal. My father also fainted a few years ago. Later, he took care of himself and never fainted again. Perhaps his uncle was too tired in the busy government affairs. Just take a good rest. You don't have to be sad, the problem will not be too big."

Of course, Di Yan hopes that the problem is not big, but her father is old and fainted once three years ago and almost suffered a stroke. Now he has fainted again. His husband said that he has not woken up for two days. How could she not be afraid? If her father has a few shortcomings... she can't even think about it.

Di Yan wiped away her tears. She suddenly remembered that her eldest son had not come back yet, and immediately said anxiously: "Where is Jinyang and Liyang? Why haven't the two come back yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the shouts of Jinyang and Li Yang from outside, "Mom, I'm back."

The two mothers hurriedly greeted them, but saw that the two children were sweating heavily and their clothes were soaked. Wang Qingyu tapped them and said with a smile: "Why are you so naughty? Why don't you go and wash them quickly."

"oh--"

The two little guys turned around and ran to the backyard. Di Yan hurriedly asked, "Jinyang, have you met your dad at the foot of the mountain?"

"Dad has come to the guest, and he is in the guest hall! It's Uncle Kang from the Western Regions."

The two of them ran away and Di Yan was slightly stunned. Could it be that Kang Dazhuang was here? Di Yan had only seen Kang Dazhuang once many years ago, but she had long forgotten it. Wang Qingyu still remembered one thing that she had the best relationship with Li Quan, and I heard Li Quan talk about this person several times.

Wang Qingyu comforted her and said, "Sister, pack up your things first! I'll ask the husband if he wants to go back today."

Di Yan was worried about her father, so she turned around and returned to the room. Wang Qingyu quickly walked towards the front hall.

In the living room, Li Zhen and Kang Dazhuang met again after a long separation. Everyone was very excited and sat together to tell their farewell. Prince Aaron sat a little nervously, wondering whether Li Zhen would help him.

Corning smiled heartily and said, "Azhen, Sisi asked me to bring some gifts to her two younger siblings before leaving. She said she didn't know if you still remember her?"

Sisi once liked Li Zhen in Girls' Generation, but as time goes by, Sisi has become a wife and a mother, and the beautiful memories of Girls' Generation are also hidden in her heart. Li Zhen smiled and said to Alan: "Sisi and I have been neighbors since we were young and grew up together. My memory of her is still as if she was fourteen years old. She should have changed a lot!"

Arun smiled gently and said, "I guess the general doesn't know her anymore when he sees her again. After giving birth to a child, she has gained a lot of weight and has changed a lot."

"I can understand. I didn't know Dazhuang just now."

Everyone laughed together, and Allen whispered again: "General, I don't know what I said just now-"

Li Zhen is thirty years old and has long become mature and steady. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he could not decide, so he said to Alan softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the sweat is close to the broken leaves. If the sweat is not guaranteed, the broken leaves will face a crisis. I think the court will definitely pay attention to this matter. In a few days, I will mention it to the Lord and see the Lord's attitude."

When Li Zhen mentioned the Broken Leaf, Allen breathed a little relieved and said, "I'll ask the general for everything."

Li Zhen nodded, "I will go back to Luoyang tomorrow. You will rest here for one night today, and we will go back together tomorrow."

Corning and Allen looked at each other, and Corning said, "I appreciate Azhen's kindness, but I still have to go back to Xin'an County this year. My camel team is in the county. We will come to meet up tomorrow morning."

Li Zhen didn't force them, and smiled and said, "Okay! I won't keep you anymore. We will set off tomorrow at 3 o'clock. You can just come before this time. It doesn't matter if it's too late. See you in Luoyang."

"Then let's just say our word, let's say goodbye first."

Seeing that Li Zhen had something to do, Kang Ning winked at Allen. The two stood up and said goodbye. Li Zhen was worried about Di Yan, so he did not keep them, and sent them out of the living room, and asked Jiuzhi to send them back to the county town.

Li Zhen returned to the central hall and happened to meet Wang Qingyu. Wang Qingyu grabbed Li Zhen's hand and walked to the side and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, how is A Yan's father?"

Li Zhen whispered: "Don't tell her for the time being. Yao Xi told me that this Qia Ayan's father is very serious, and his nostrils and ears are bleeding. He suspected that he had bleeding in his head."

"How could it be?"

"I heard that it was because of Zhang Changzong that he wanted his uncle to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His father-in-law firmly opposed it and jointly signed thirty important officials to write a letter to disobey the order. The emperor was forced to give up his appointment. Zhang Changzong rushed to the political affairs hall and made a big fuss, insulting his father-in-law, and his father-in-law fainted when he was angry."

Wang Qing gritted his teeth and whispered: "Two bastards who harmed the country and the people, the female emperor's reputation will be destroyed in their hands."

Li Zhen smiled bitterly. Wu Zetian's reputation had long been destroyed by Er Zhang's hands. Unfortunately, she was old and stupid, stubborn, and was completely controlled by Er Zhang.

Li Zhen said to Wang Qingyu again: "It's getting late now, and it's too late to go back. Say to A Yan, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

"Okay! I'll tell her that she wanted to leave now, and it seems she's hard to endure tonight."

Wang Qingyu smiled and turned around and walked towards the inner house.

Before dawn the next day, Di Yan took everyone onto the carriage. Di Yan originally advised A Ling to stay in the villa for a few more days, but A Ling refused and insisted on going back with them. Yao Xi's wife Wang also carried the child onto the carriage with them.

"Husband, everything is ready, let's go!"

Li Zhen turned around and looked west. It was about to be the third hour. Dazhuang and the others came over. Jiuzhi whispered: "I remember that the gate of the county town will open half an hour later than Luoyang."

Li Zhen suddenly realized that the gate of Xin'an County was probably only open now. How could they have time? Goodbye Luoyang!

Li Zhen then ordered the coachman, "Let's go!"

The coachman shook the long whip, and seven or eight carriages slowly started and drove towards Luoyang along the official road.

Baique Villa is very close to Luoyang. One hour later, the convoy arrived at the Xiping Gate of Luoyang. It was already dawn and the market outside the city was open. There were endless civilians coming out of the city to buy vegetables. The official road was also filled with various stalls selling fish and shrimps. Groups of women gathered in front of the stalls to bargain, which was extremely lively.

There were too many pedestrians, and the convoy slowed down. Li Zhen asked the cavalry to walk as much as possible in the middle, and they were about to hit the children on both sides, but at this moment, a sudden burst of horse hooves came from the distance, and someone shouted: "Get out! Get out!"

There was a sudden scream outside the city gate, and men, women, young and old stumbled to run to both sides. The crying of children was shocked. Li Zhen was stunned and looked back and saw dozens of men in brocade clothes running towards him. They held long whips in their hands and kept whipping pedestrians on both sides with the tips of the whip to make fun of them, laughing.

The person Li Zhen recognized the head was Zhang Changyi, the Sanlang of the Zhang family. He snorted heavily and ordered: "Go to the side!"

Li Zhen's family's carriage leaned against the side and gave up a five-foot-wide road. It was completely possible to ride a horse. After a moment, Zhang Changyi rode on a horse and scolded, "Which family's hearse is this? How dare you be the master's way."

Di Yan in the carriage was furious and opened the curtain and scolded: "Linglang Tiankong, you are doing things randomly and domineeringly. Don't you know that this is under the feet of the emperor?"

Zhang Changyi didn't know Di Yan, nor did he see Li Zhen blocked by the carriage. When he saw Di Yan's extremely beautiful appearance, he suddenly became lustful and smiled lewdly, "Little lady, go back with the master, I will let you taste the queen's beauty."

Before he finished speaking, a whip swept across his face, 'bang!' and a blood mark suddenly appeared. Zhang Changyi screamed in pain and almost fell off his horse. Li Zhen showed murderous intent and ordered his subordinates to say, "Give me a shot and break their legs!"

Dozens of personal guards were already extremely angry. After Li Zhen's order, he immediately swung his big stick and attacked Zhang Changyi and his men. There was a burst of crying on the official road. Li Zhen asked the carriage to leave first. Seeing that the fight was almost done, he ordered, "Let's go!"

Dozens of personal soldiers boarded the horse and urged Li Zhen to run into Xiping Gate. The official road was lying all over the ground. The personal soldiers were very ruthless. Everyone's hands and feet were interrupted. They lay on the ground, either unconscious or moaned or wailed. There was a thunderous cheer in the distance. Everyone applauded. Even the soldiers on the top of the city couldn't help but cheer, "General Li, fight well!"

At this time, nearly a hundred soldiers guarding the city ran out. The leader was panicked and ordered people to carry more than 20 people into the city on a stretcher...

Although he let out a sigh of anger, Li Zhen also knew that he had caused a big and small trouble. He ordered his personal soldiers to send his family back to the mansion first, and he led a few subordinates to the Taichu Palace to ride a horse.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty court can be described as a corruption. The Zhang brothers, under the indulgence of Wu Zetian, have reached the point of lawlessness. The Zhang family occupied hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land in Hedong, Guanzhong, Jingji and others, and most of the tens of thousands of hectares of imperial villages in Luoyang and Guanzhong alone were occupied by them.

They monopolized all kinds of money-making channels in Nanshi, especially the grain prices in the capital were controlled by Er Zhang's uncle, which tripled in just two years, causing public resentment. As for bullying men and women, it is common to occupy private houses.

All kinds of papers that impeached the Zhang family's evil deeds were sent into the palace like snowflakes, but were burned by Wu Zetian's orders, and only fined Zhang Changyi and Zhang Tong for half a year to show severe punishment.

The conflict between the Zhang brothers and the court became increasingly acute. This time, the incident of Zhang's uncle Zhang Qinian being appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue became the fuse of the general outbreak of the conflict. Di Renjie led the important officials of the court to withstand the pressure and forced Wu Zetian to take back the appointment. However, he completely offended Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. Zhang Changzong led 30 guards to enter the Political Affairs Hall and insulted Di Renjie, causing Di Renjie to faint and his life to be in danger.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Zhen ordered his subordinates to break Zhang Changyi's legs, but Li Zhen also knew that the Zhang brothers would never let him go, so he had to meet Wu Zetian first and explain the matter clearly so that two Zhangs can slander people.
