Chapter 47 Decision-making

He broke three ribs, and almost died of blood loss when he stabbed into his spleen.

This trick is put to death and then born, which fully shows that Liu Shilang is a ruthless character, and in order to get rid of Liang Hou, he actually made such a ruthless attack on himself. A bitter trick, and then used the assassination news created by Helian Che to successfully attract everyone's attention, and the two of them jointly staged a plan.

At this time, it was rumored that the assassination of the emperor and Liu Shilang was a powerful force from the people, a mysterious organization that has recently emerged among the people, and its power can penetrate around the emperor in front of the people, and the people in the organization are all ruthless characters who are not afraid of death.

The rumors spread really miraculously, and there was a lot of trouble.

For a time, there was a storm in Beijing, and everyone in the courtiers was in danger. For a long time, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Shilang, and everyone was waiting to see if Liu Shilang, who was seriously injured and dying after an assassination attempt, would die violently overnight.

At this point, this matter is like a black cauldron on the bright side, no matter how strong Liang Hou is, it is impossible to be stupid enough to make another move to take the initiative to carry the black cauldron in this limelight.

A month passed quickly, and the rumored powerful forces and assassins were no longer in the limelight, and everyone gradually forgot about it.

In early spring, Liu Shilang's injuries were also healed. The first thing he did after his reinstatement was that the palace received a special "gift" for Li Yuanlin - a petition for all people.

When Liu Shilang presented it to Li Yuanlin, he only said that it was written by an old man who was quite powerful in writing and ink kung fu.

Ye Lingyi didn't know how powerful the old man's writing and ink kung fu was, but when Li Yuanlin opened the petition of the people, he sat in front of the imperial case and stared at it all day, his face was very gloomy.

It's like a cloudy sky that will rain at any moment.

Ye Lingyi glanced curiously while grinding beside her, she didn't know the cumbersome and strange words of the Western Dynasty, she only saw that the petition was densely covered with handprints, and she felt that it must not be a good thing!

Ye Lingyi can be said to be a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, seeing that Li Yuanlin's face is getting worse and worse, in order to avoid being hurt innocently, she bowed very well, and was ready to withdraw and not touch his brow here.

"Wait!"

Ye Lingyi, who was wearing men's clothes, was stopped and her footsteps froze suddenly.

Li Yuanlin didn't look at her, but said to her: "Come here!" ”

It's just two words, but it has undeniable power.

Ye Lingyi raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuanlin, hesitated for a moment and walked to his side.

"What do you think of this petition?" Li Yuanlin asked her. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

Ye Lingyi symbolically glanced at the petition, smiled and touched the tip of her nose, a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" I can't read! ”

Li Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, and finally raised a pair of soft eyes to look at her, quite helpless: "I forgot, you are a hard guy who doesn't enter the literary ink." ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Ye Lingyi laughed very dogly, but snorted in his heart: "Follow me here to pick up ink?" The words that the old lady knows, you may not know yet! ”

"This is the words of Mr. Zhuzhu, a respected old gentleman in the people." Li Yuanlin explained.

Ye Lingyi frowned, and said in his heart: "Bamboo? Is it hard to write about the bamboo? This old man's name is really hard to describe. ”

Seeing her serious appearance of contemplation, Li Yuanlin unconsciously curved the corners of his mouth, softened his voice and said: "Get closer to me, I'll tell you the content, how about you help me analyze and analyze it?" ”

"Me?" Ye Lingyi looked very surprised, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "I can't do it, the emperor, I am a little slave, and all I can do for you is to take care of the dog pillar." ”

Li Yuanlin's face tightened all day today, and after listening to her words, he rarely showed a relaxed expression, and then he took her hand and pressed it on the petition of the people.

Ye Lingyi was forced to bow down, and with a slight sideways look, he saw Li Yuanlin's soft side face, close at hand, and his breathing could be heard.

"This is a petition sent from Zhenhe County, which probably means that Zhenhe County Shouhuo Da Zhenhe has benefited the people a lot in just a few months, but in the end he was unjustly killed, and the Empress Dowager's nephew Liang Si was promoted to the county guard of Zhenhe Mansion today. At that time, Huo Da was the county guard, Liang Si not only did not do a good job in the affairs of his subordinates, but relied on himself as a royal prince and nobleman, and made things difficult for Huo Da in many ways, and even more mischief the people on weekdays...... After Huoda's death, a maid from the county guard was released, and according to her recollection, the cause of Huoda's death was not a stubborn illness. The maid witnessed Liang Si and Huoda drinking, during which Huoda had gone to Xiaojie, Liang Si took the opportunity to put something in Huoda wine, which happened to be bumped into by the maid who came in with the food, Liang Si threatened the life of her whole family, forcing her to compromise with her obscene maid, and never thought that Huoda would suddenly die on the second day, and all the members of Huofu became lost dogs under Liang Si's oppression overnight, and their families died one after another. The maid was also depressed all day long because of her uneasy conscience, and she wanted to present the truth to the public many times, but after all, the maid was soft-spoken and afraid of Liang Si's forces, so she kept things in her heart, until the news that the only survivor of Huo Mansion, the little lady, had become an assassin in the capital and was killed returned to Zhenhe, and the little maid finally couldn't stand the condemnation of conscience and shook things out. Now the petition of the people is to cure the sin of Liang Si! ”

"So......" Ye Lingyi thought for a while: "If Huoda was really killed, the emperor's crime of governing Liang Si will definitely win the hearts of the people!" What a chance! ”

"Not necessarily!" I heard his voice first, but I didn't see him.

Someone came in, and the two people on the side of the imperial case all cast their eyes together, only to see Helian Che, who was dressed in silver and white armor, walking in majestically, and seeing the two people opposite, his deep eyes immediately became sharp.

"What do the Helian guards mean by that?" There was a hint of majesty on the emperor's feminine face.

Helian Che only made a gesture vividly, and his eyes kept locking on the shoulders of Ye Lingyi and Li Yuanlin that were almost touching each other. After standing still, he said: "First, the emperor only saw this petition of all the people, and whether Liang Si was guilty or not remains to be investigated." Second, Liang Si is the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and his mother party is arrogant, and if the emperor easily punishes the crime, it may cause unnecessary trouble due to the dissatisfaction of his mother party and even other courtiers. ”

Li Yuanlin stared at it, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable, for a long time, he was only nominally pro-government, and the power of the court was still controlled by the Queen Mother, and now the assassin's matter led to the cause of Huoda's death is an opportunity, and this matter is related to Liang Si, if he can easily punish the crime with a petition, it may cause dissatisfaction in the court, and he will definitely not do the thing that loses the watermelon and picks up the sesame seeds, so this matter has to be considered again.

After being silent for a long time, Li Yuanlin asked, "Does Helian have any ideas?" ”

"Actually, it's easy to solve this matter." Helian Che did not hesitate, "Early spring has arrived, and the people along the river have reached the spring planting season, and the emperor should follow the example of the Ming Emperor who has been re-engaged in the past dynasties, and go down to the south of the Yangtze River to watch the people work to feel the people's suffering, and comfort the people's hearts with thinking about the old and the new." ”

"Patrol Jiangnan?" Li Yuanlin silently repeated Helian Che's words.

"This is good!" The girl's eyes were bright.

Li Yuanlin looked at her sideways, Ye Lingyi squinted and explained with a smile: "The emperor can thoroughly investigate the cause of Huoda's death by going down to the south of the Yangtze River!" The emperor personally handled the case to gain the hearts of the people, and secondly, those courtiers couldn't say anything! ”

That's a good idea.

Li Yuanlin didn't object, but just thought about it for a while, frowned slightly and said worriedly: "If the Empress Dowager Jiangnan gets the news and takes action first, I'm afraid that before we reach Zhenhe, the clues and evidence about Huo Da's death will be destroyed first." ”

"It's even simpler!"

Helian Che gently raised the corners of his mouth.

Li Yuanlin looked over, and there was a slight confusion in his deep eyes.

"Liang Si is now the county guard of Zhenhe, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, as long as the emperor first issues a pardon order to pardon the crime of captive and detaining court officials, the minister can send someone to detain Liang Si unknowingly, and then protect the witnesses."

Li Yuanlin's eyes were slightly sparkling, obviously moved, and he raised his guard again after a moment: "Why should I believe you?" ”

You must know that the position of the commander of Helian Che's bodyguard was personally appointed by the Queen Mother, and nominally he is the Queen Mother's person, but now he is standing here to give advice to him Li Yuanlin, which is really unguarded.

In the face of his suspicion, Helian Che looked at Ye Lingyi with deep meaning, but the words in his mouth were said to Li Yuanlin: "The emperor doesn't have to doubt, the minister did this to repay the emperor's kindness for giving medicine." ”

Li Yuanlin naturally didn't know what happened on the day the medicine was given. Helian Che deliberately mentioned it, and that day they lost their minds and almost crossed the moral thunder pool, so that they still blush and heartbeat when they think about it now.

She felt that she must have been crazy at that moment, or she was ghosted, otherwise why was she so moved in her heart at that time? What was even more puzzling was that since that day she had felt that the man had exuded an uncanny and irresistible charm just by looking at him, so much so that before she knew it, her eyes had learned to automatically follow him in the crowd.

This is a dangerous start.

When he touched the slightly revealing eyes on the other side, Ye Lingyi's little face turned uncontrollably red, as if he had been caught as a thief, he hurriedly looked away, and lowered his eyes, but his face became even hotter.

Li Yuanlin on the side was not stupid, he noticed the subtle changes in the two, and his eyes changed, but he was not picky.

"Then I will believe you once, according to what you said, before I go down to patrol Jiangnan, you must not leak the news, Helian Escort needs to complete that matter as soon as possible."

That incident specifically refers to the secret detention of Liang Si and the protection of the maid as a witness.

Li Yuanlin was anxious to break the situation in front of him and completely remove his puppet emperor's hat, so he built a gamble in his heart, gambling with Helian Che sincerely and at the same time gambling with himself, gambling on this great cause, gambling on the people of Li standing behind him.

Seven days later, Li Yuanlin finally ordered a southern tour, and in addition to the servants and guards who were waiting, he simply appointed a few senior officials of the court and the central government to accompany him, and Liu Shilang was one of them.

However, not long after this decision was made, it was strongly opposed by Liang Hou.

Empress Liang warned the emperor to take back his life and reflect on himself on the grounds that the emperor's safety could not be guaranteed and that he could not be allowed to open up the dynasty for a day, but the emperor's edict had been issued, and Li Yuanlin insisted on rejecting the warning of the queen of Liang with no jokes.

The mother and son immediately formed a confrontation, and Liang Hou was soon "sick." ”

In fact, Empress Liang's thoughts are obvious, she knows that the emperor's wings are stiff and wants to get rid of her shackles, and now she is pretending to be sick is nothing more than thinking that even if she can't drag his legs to patrol Jiangnan, Li Yuanlin will be criticized, so that Li Yuanlin's road to patrol Jiangnan will not be easy.

This is the idea of a mother whose ambition is far greater than blood affection, and if she wants to reach the peak of power and become the second Empress Wu Ze, she must abandon the ordinary mother-son relationship.

Li Yuanlin knows. So even if he is criticized, even if everyone says that he is unfilial and mediocre as an emperor who is not consulted by the courtiers, it is better than being a puppet who can only watch the people suffer but is powerless.

He must change the situation and reverse this sick situation.

This is the determination that Li Yuanlin made for himself.

Therefore, on the third day after the Southern Patrol Order was issued, Li Yuanlin's team finally hit the road.
