Chapter 112 Easy Storage
After more than a month of boat travel, the emperor returned to Luoyang. It was already winter.

In the heavy snow, Shangshu Ling Gao Shize brought the civil and military nobles of Luoyang to welcome the emperor at Zuoye Gate, while Murong Ying got off the boat from Luoshui and returned to the Luoyang Palace City which he had been away from for nearly a year.

Li Yuanhui, who did not need to accompany the emperor, also returned to his home in Kuanrenfang, south of Luoshui.

No one in the family was in Luoyang, so apart from the servants, there was only Li Yuanhui as the owner of the Li Mansion in Luoyang.

The house was deserted, but Li Yuanhui's yard was not deserted.

The ten beauties that Zhao Er sent him made his yard bustling with chatter. These were all innocent and cheerful girls, most of whom were born in poverty or whose families had fallen on hard times. After being sent to Li Yuanhui, they had no worries about food and drink in the Li family, and they did not have a master to serve.

After following the rules for a period of time, everyone naturally lets themselves go.

These girls seemed to be clearing the snow, but in fact they were throwing snowballs around. The whole yard was filled with laughter and joy.

Li Yuanhui returned to his own courtyard, thinking he had come to the wrong place. There were several servants lying on the surrounding walls, secretly watching the fight.

Han Quan was about to speak when Li Yuanhui stopped him, squatted down, grabbed a snowball, and threw it at the girl who had her back to him.

It hit her right on the back of the head.

The girl cried out "Ouch!" and then turned back angrily, "Who is it that attacked me?"

He turned around without even looking and just threw it over.

Li Yuanhui was prepared and dodged directly. The girl saw that she didn't hit anyone and said angrily: "You are still dodging."

At this time, the girls in the yard also noticed someone coming in. When they suddenly saw Li Yuanhui, they were all stunned.

The girl who was closest to them suddenly remembered that she had seen this man more than a year ago, and he must be their master.
"Hello, my dear."

"Hello, my dear."

Li Yuanhui smiled when he saw this, looked at everyone, and thought to himself that Zhao Er had a good eye for choosing women. Then he said, "You guys continue."

Then he walked through the crowd and went straight back to the main hall where he lived. This room was his first residence since he came to this world. At that time, he read books in the room every day. His father and his second and third brothers were in Liaodong. Although his eldest brother was busy with official business, he often came to visit him.

Sometimes they just take a look at the door and leave.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and I seem to have become accustomed to being an ancient person.

But returning here, I still felt more at ease than ever before. I lay on the bed, thinking nothing, and gradually fell asleep.

When the girls outside learned that their master had returned, they did not dare to make a noise. Instead, they quietly cleared the snow and returned to their rooms.

They discussed in low voices how their lives would change after their master returned.

After staying at home for three days, Li Yuanhui seemed to have swept away the fatigue brought by the six months of fighting in the south and the north. He just read books every day.

Or ask the girl named Frost to come over and play the piano for you.

He didn't know whether the sound of the piano was good or not, but it had a good hypnotic effect. He often fell asleep while listening to it.

Three days later, Li Yuanhui was forced to end his stay-at-home life because the King of Qi and General Lou returned to the capital.

The Crown Prince and Prince of Wu Murong Yang represented the emperor in welcoming the emperor to the suburbs. As a third-rank official, General Pingnan, Li Yuanhui also had to participate in the welcoming ceremony.

At the welcoming ceremony outside the city, Murong Yang, who had been in the palace for the past few days, finally found an opportunity to communicate some news to Li Yuanhui.

First, Murong Ying's physical condition became very poor after he contracted the epidemic in Jianghuai and fell into Weishan Lake.

Second, Murong Jiayin and Murong Kexie are on the way and will reach Luoyang in a few days.

Li Yuanhui had already anticipated the first piece of news, but the second piece of news was a bit of a "surprise".

If Murong Jiayin suddenly came and saw all the beautiful girls in Li Yuanhui's yard, something would definitely happen.

So Li Yuanhui returned home and immediately asked the manager to find another courtyard. He only left two maids in the courtyard and moved the rest away.

After all, it is impossible that no one has a backyard without a maid, but if there are too many, it would not be appropriate.

A few days later, military reports from Longxi arrived in Luoyang earlier than Murong Jiayin. In the Battle of Fuhan, Li Erlang led 500 cavalrymen to attack Tuyuhun at night, causing tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops to scatter like birds and beasts, with thousands of casualties.

When all the people in Luoyang were discussing Li Erlang's wisdom, courage and military prowess, perhaps only Li Silang found it unsurprising.

Liu Xuanji, who lived in Li's house, heard about it and came over to congratulate him immediately, "Silang, your brother Erlang's military skills are really extraordinary. Five hundred cavalrymen, hiding during the day and moving at night, defeated tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops in one battle. He is really a god in military operations."

Li Silang had a smile on his face and looked very calm, with not even a trace of emotion in his heart.

If this were someone else, it would be a highlight.

Second brother?

Basic exercises, don’t do six.

"I've said it before, my second brother is an expert in riding and shooting, and has unparalleled military strategy. This is just a small test of his skills."

When Liu Xuanji saw Li Silang so calm, he actually remembered the two of them on their way back to Luoyang after the battle of Dongduyuan.

I really said something similar.

So when he went to Li's house, he and Li Erlang had a competition in archery, and they were evenly matched, each with his own strengths.

This time, the night attack on Fuhan fully demonstrated Li Erlang's courage and strategy.

"A great general."

In the palace, Murong Ying, who was lying on the sickbed, had a rosy complexion and was in a good mood after reading the military report.

In the past few years, Tuyuhun had repeatedly invaded the borders of Dayan, and this time Li Er's surprise attack caught Tuyuhun off guard, and the army that had just assembled was beaten and fled in all directions.

The casualties on their side were less than a hundred men, which shows how swiftly they used their troops.

"I never thought that Li Yuan's sons are so outstanding. Li Silang is careful and prudent, while Li Erlang is brave and courageous. One is steady and the other is brave. They are really enviable."

Empress Cao, who was blowing medicine on him, asked, "Why, is your Majesty's son useless?"

Murong Ying took a sip of the medicine and felt it was a bit bitter, just like his current mentality.

"I have seven sons, and the fourth one passed away early. The prince is actually a very good person, intelligent and kind. But if I leave now, can you and the prince hold on to the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Cao paused for a moment as she was delivering the medicine, and she almost dropped it. She came to her senses and continued to deliver the medicine.

After Murong Ying drank it, he reached out to take the medicine bowl and drank it all. "If I had another ten years, no, as long as I had another five years, I could stabilize the world. At that time, I could safely hand over the world of Dayan to Chang'er. But I don't have that much time now. I'm giving this world to you and Chang'er. Can you keep it?"

The corners of Empress Cao's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't utter a word.

"Don't worry, the eldest is a kind-hearted man. His biological mother died early, and you raised him. You don't have to worry that he will harm his younger brother. If it were the second or third son, you and your mother would really have no way to survive."

Murong Ying sighed as she spoke, while Empress Cao silently shed tears.

The two were a young couple and respected each other. Although Murong Ying usually favored Concubine Wei more, he actually always maintained proper respect for the Queen.

Including Concubine Wei, although she was not on good terms with the Queen, she never did anything excessive to challenge her.

It is because Concubine Wei also knows that the Queen has always held a high position in the Saint's heart.

And now, the emperor wants to depose the crown prince, especially when the crown prince has done nothing wrong. How can the queen accept this?

But whether she can accept it or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

Winter Solstice is the day for worshipping ancestors. Emperor Murong Ying led the royal family and officials of Luoyang to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship their ancestors.

At the same time, he announced to the Heaven and Earth that Crown Prince Murong Chang was without virtue and talent, so he was deposed as the King of Shu and moved to Yizhou.

The emperor's eldest son Murong Chao was made crown prince.

The whole world was shocked.
