() These days, the close ministers probably couldn't discuss the results, so they were kept by the Holy One.

"I heard that those old foxes compete for performance on weekdays, and always like to boast about how good their sons and nephews are, once something happens, you push me, I push you, no one wants to receive this errand, the saint was so noisy by them that he detained them all in a fit of anger." Gu Chen said, his eyes deepened a little.

If the discussion does not come to a conclusion for a day, I am afraid that they will not be able to come back for a day.

During the Chinese New Year, this kind of forcible detention will also make the families of various prefectures panic.

"This matter is obviously thankless, if it is done, it is responsible, it is erranded, and it will be punished for being unfavorable, and the temperament of the new emperor of Xishu is not clear to everyone, this is going to go, it is no different from nine deaths and a lifetime, who wants to go?" Qin Niang can almost imagine what the saint is like.

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanhai, who had thought that he would be left in the palace for several days, came back.

When everyone got the news, they all rushed to the front yard.

Yang Yuanhai seemed to have not slept all night, his eyes were gray, and his whole person seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden, and he was full of a sense of depression.

When Qin Niang saw it, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

"Dad, could it be that the Holy One assigned our Yang family to escort this Qian Zhongliang?" Qin Niang looked at Yang Yuanhai's face and guessed.

Yang Yuanhai looked at her indescribably, sighed at her intelligence and sensitivity, and at the same time was full of worry: "This matter originally couldn't fall on our Yang family, and besides, we have to go back to Yao County to continue the reconstruction work of the disaster area after the year, but Mrs. Wen went to recommend King Ling, and King Ling agreed." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

This Lingwang is the youngest brother of today's saint, ranked fifteenth, in terms of age, it is not a few years older than the prince, and now in the court, everyone knows that this Lingwang is the most powerful person to compete with the prince.

Since his accession to the throne from now on, there has been a rumor that the first emperor originally wanted to make this Ling Wang the emperor, but somehow the edict of succession became today's saint.

Therefore, King Ling has always thought that Jinshang has seized the position that should belong to him, and he has been secretly pulling forces in the court all these years, and now, even the saint can't easily move him.

"King Ling is going, the saint must not be at ease, in order to prevent him from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the saint appointed the Yang family as an overseer, right?" Qin Niang thought about it carefully and understood the intention of today.

Now, there is no one to send in Xishu, but King Ling is willing to go, and in terms of ability, King Ling is indeed not bad. But if he is sent alone with the soldiers and generals to escort people, he is not at ease, so he must have the eyes of the saint to keep an eye on him.

Although the saint does not wait to see the Yang family, the Yang family has been loyal to the monarch for generations, and he can still carry it clearly in the face of major rights and wrongs, so the saint wants the Yang family to go with him.

Moreover, the saint is willing to let King Ling out of the capital, I am afraid that there is another intention, that is, it is best to let him die in a foreign country while he is unprepared, so as not to obstruct his eyes all day long under his nose.

"Yes, the saint said, your eldest brother has also been patrolling the city for a while, and he often goes out with me to care for the people, saying that he can rest assured that he can accompany him." Speaking of which, Yang Yuanhai's heart is extremely complicated.

It's not that he is unwilling to contribute to the country, it's just that this holy benefit has never thought of their Yang family, and once there is something to send to death, he will be the first to think of them

Yang.

When he first entered the palace and heard that the Xishu Kingdom asked for Qian Zhongliang by name, he had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that he had already thought about which people to accompany him, and asking them to enter the palace was just to make them anxious.

"Isn't the eldest brother going to Yao County with you to repair the river embankment?" Qin Niang said in surprise.

"The saint said that this matter can be handed over to Ji Shilang to do." As soon as he mentioned this, Yang Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't get up or down.

"That Ji Linhai, what else can he do except be lazy and slippery all day long?" Yang Hong exploded as soon as he heard it, this is a matter related to people's livelihood, how can it be assigned to someone like Ji Linhai?

"Alas~" Yang Yuanhai sighed heavily, his face was indescribable, "I think so too, so I tried to tell the saint to change someone, but as soon as I mentioned it, the saint darkened his face, saying that I just felt sorry for my son, and I didn't want to worry about the king, so I would push back and block the many excuses when something happened." ”

There was silence.

What else can they say?

The saint has never been waiting to see the Yang family.

If it weren't for Qin Tianjian's words, I'm afraid Yang Yuanhai wouldn't have thought of rising to the position of Shangshu in his life.

Although he is now sitting in this position, how can it be so cheap?

"This Ling King jumped out at this time, what does he want to do?" Qin Niang twisted her eyebrows and said.

Everyone knew that this was not a good messenger, and he would not receive such an envoy even if he wanted to stand up, and if he didn't do it well, he would have to lose his life.

Moreover, it is a long way to go to Xishu Mountain, who knows what will happen on the way.

This kind of errand that is obviously hard and thankless, and everyone avoids it like a snake and scorpion, but he rushes to do it, which has to make people a little suspicious.

"This Ling King has always been unprofitable, he is also close to Taifu Wen on weekdays, maybe Taifu's recommendation is instructed by him, it seems that he must have a plan to go, eldest brother had better be careful." Gu Chen couldn't help but remind aloud.

Yang Hong nodded, except for the initial calculation of being in prison by Gu Chen, he thought that he had never been planted in anyone's hands.

It's just that I don't know when I will be able to return to Xishu this time, and I am afraid that the marriage date with Cheng'an Houfu will be delayed.

Moreover, if he didn't come back, he wouldn't delay the girl.

Thinking of this, Yang Hong lowered his eyes and covered the tumbling thoughts under his eyes.

The family was full of melancholy.

At this time, the porter came to report that the father-in-law who read the holy decree in the palace had arrived.

So, the family went out, and when they saw that it was Gonggong Pei beside the saint, they knew that after reading the holy decree, there must be a secret decree.

Sure enough, after a tedious reading, Yang Hong took the order, and Duke Pei said fairly: "Master Yang, the saint has another secret decree for the miscellaneous family to convey, and I also ask Prince Yang to find a convenient place to receive the decree." ”

Yang Hong nodded, led Gonggong Pei into the room, and after closing the door, Gonggong Pei took out a small piece of parchment from his sleeve pocket, handed it over with both hands, and advised: "Master Yang, the saint knows that this trip must be risky, and His Royal Highness the King of Ling must have a plan, and I hope that Yang Gongzi can act flexibly, and if necessary, he can cut it first and then play." ”

Yang Hong's eyes widened slightly, although he already knew that the Holy Lord wanted to get rid of the King of Ling, he was afraid that it would not be a day or two, but he never expected that the Holy Lord would let him cut it first.

If this is a political enemy of King Ling, I am afraid that it is

King Ling is not guilty, and he has to be killed first.

Anyway, after leaving Donglin, the emperor is far away, and when the group comes back from Xishu, how to report it is not his business?

"It's hard work, and Grandpa Pei made a special trip." Yang Hong read the secret decree at a glance and ten lines, and its content was nothing more than a point, but anyone who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country could be cut first and then played.

"Miscellaneous family matters, Prince Yang has been at home for the New Year in the past two days, and he will leave in a few days, and the miscellaneous family will not bother your family reunion here." Father-in-law Pei said, arched his hand at Yang Hong, and retreated.

A group of little eunuchs hurried in and hurried away.

A total of 100 people went here, and after the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qian Zhongliang was loaded into a prisoner car, led by King Ling, and left the capital in a mighty way.

The streets, which were a little cold because it was still the New Year, were full of people because of the send-off of each family.

Yang Hong has always had many friends, and when he was leaving Beijing, many people came out to see him off.

Qin Niang stood in the crowd, looked around, didn't see the relatives of King Ling, and couldn't help frowning.

"His Royal Highness the King of Tomb should be married, right? Why don't you even see you off? Qin Niang asked.

It's a bit too cold.

"This King Ling is a ruthless man, although he married a princess, he has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, that is to say, once he wants to succeed, these wives and concubines can be abandoned at any time, he has no heirs, and there will be no worries." Gu Chen put his arm around her shoulders, looked at the convoy that was getting farther and farther away, and said meaningfully.

Qin Niang suddenly realized, speaking of which, in her previous life, because she was trapped in the battle of the inner house, she had never cared much about the situation in the court, but she was more or less aware of the affairs of His Royal Highness the King of Tombs.

He married the daughter of Wen Yuanhou Chu Ran, and in addition, he also took many side chambers and concubines, but he never heard of anyone having an heir.

And that Wen Yuanhou is still a marquis, to put it nicely, in fact, he has already declined, otherwise, how could he let King Ling take care of it.

For any family, the heir is an important bridge that can strengthen and consolidate the relationship between the two families, if the Wen Yuanhou family is strong enough, how can this happen?

But then again, how could the Holy Lord allow him to marry the daughter of a Dingsheng family?

King Ling raised so many women and none of them were pregnant with his child, this is unreasonable, unless King Ling is sick.

But if King Ruoling is really sick, I am afraid that this capital has already spread all over in private.

However, if he really didn't have a queen, how could he get so many people to follow him? If he really gets that position, it is taboo that he has no successor, unless he has a son, but others don't know. After saying this, Qin Niang was frightened by her own speculation.

She thought that it would be better for her to think less about these secret battles between the DPRK and China, lest she know any secrets that she shouldn't know and be killed when she turns around.

"You say, is this Qian Zhongliang really that important to Xishulai?" Qin Niang suddenly thought of a possibility, and her face suddenly changed.

A few days ago, she seemed to have heard that South Vietnam was also looking at the country, right?

What if it ......

The more she thought about it, the paler Qin Niang's face became, she suddenly grabbed Gu Chen's arm and said, "No, you have to hurry up and chase the eldest brother and them back, and you can't do this in this matter." ”
