"The soldiers who stayed in Xiao drove away the Tang Dynasty and already occupied Quanzhou and Zhangzhou?" In the Shenwu Army barracks, Yang Lian was a little surprised.

Gao Xiansi nodded and said: "This is the latest news, according to the old man's inference, Liucongxiao just wants to occupy Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and there should be no idea of chasing the world." ”

Yang Lian pondered for a while, and in his impression, it seemed that he didn't leave this person behind, since he couldn't remember clearly, he ignored him. Looking back, Gao Xiansi's guess should not be far from ten, and sure enough, after waiting for two or three days, the news came, and he stayed in the Tang Dynasty to call him a minister. The imperial court also debated whether to send troops to Quanquan and Zhangzhou.

In the end, Li Jing gave up the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Zhang, recognized the actual status of Liucongxiao, took Liucongxiao as the history of Quanzhou, and summoned Wang Jixun, the former queen of Quanzhou, to Jinling and appointed another official position. The imperial court was disrupted by the events in Quan and Zhang, and Han Xizai's plan was temporarily frustrated, which made him very remorseful.

In the Yang Inn, Yang Lian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Han Xizai temporarily died down, which was a good thing for King Qi. A few days ago, the Han Party's offensive was too fierce, and within one day, the excerpts flew into the imperial city like snowflakes, which really made Yang Lian's heart rise to his throat. Yang Lian secretly faced the king of Qi several times, and at this time, he must not interfere in the rescue. Sometimes, laissez-faire is the best thing to do.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi who was in a relaxed mood, also came to Yang's Inn, and the two played a game while drinking tea. Li Jingsui held a sunspot in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and never put it down. The game with Yang Lian seems to be lost. Li Jingsui thought for a while, sighed, and abandoned his son to admit defeat.

"I didn't expect that in just a few months, your chess skills have improved a lot. This king is no longer an opponent. Li Jingsui sighed.

"The King of Qi conceded." Yang Lian said with a smile. Retrieve the white pieces from the board.

While the two were talking, Lin Renzhao hurriedly came, his face was a little panicked, and said: "King Qi, Commander Yang, I just got the news that Prime Minister Feng wrote to intercede for Feng Yanlu, Chen Jue and others. ”

"When?" Yang Lian raised his eyebrows, this Feng Yansi still couldn't hold back.

King Qi's face changed slightly, originally he didn't believe Yang Lian's words, but as the situation developed, he found that Yang Lian's judgment this time was very correct, so he chose to believe him. Before Feng Yan had already written the book, although the Han Party was violent, and the excerpts of impeaching Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others flew in like snowflakes, the Son of Heaven never gave an answer. In fact, although Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others were defeated, in Li Jing's heart, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Feng Yanlu's approach is also reasonable, the reason for the failure is that he was a little careless, and Wu Yuejun was too strong.

The reason why the punishment was delayed was that Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others were too strong in their letters, so that Li Jing could not be too blatant and clear everyone's name, even if he was the emperor. These are all Yang Lian's guesses, so from this aspect, the more arrogant the Han Party is, the more Li Jing will defend Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others.

However, Feng Yansi may have been forced by the pressure of his family to write a letter to intercede for everyone, which brought the party dispute that had been somewhat calmed back to the surface. Sure enough, on the afternoon of the day Feng Yansi wrote the letter, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others got the news and quickly concocted a joint letter, asking His Majesty to severely punish the defeated generals.

Any of Yang Lian's guesses can't compare to Li Jing's current situation. Li Jing was very angry, even if he was a good-tempered emperor, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be angry. In fact, all along, the founding fathers led by Song Qiqiu have gathered those people around him, and Li Jing knows very well. However, after all, Song Qiqiu is the founding father, he has a reputation and status in the court, and the Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years, and the foundation is not very stable, and Li Jing is not a stupid person, how can he move the founding father.

However, the Han Party, headed by Han Xizai, was the old man when Li Jing was the crown prince, and was very hostile to Song Qiqiu and other founding fathers. Li Jing has heard of the struggle between these two old and new forces, but he has a lot of feelings for Han Xizai, so he wants to fight with the mud, and no one moves.

But it was Li Jing's amicable attitude that connived at the arrogance of the two parties.

"It's time to cure it, otherwise they still think that this son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty is weak and can be bullied." Li Jing thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, King Qi asks to see you." The confidant eunuch said.

"King Qi? Could it be that he couldn't hold back and wanted to come to persuade me to intercede for Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu? Li Jing thought, slightly unhappy in his heart. Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, is closer to whom, he, the imperial brother, still knows.

"Announce him in." Li Jing said, moving his shoulders, he wanted to see how bold King Qi was.

"I've seen the Imperial Brother!" Li Jing, the king of Qi, came in, still respectfully saluting.

"Huh." Li Jingsui was in a bad mood, laughed dryly, waved his hand, and said, "No courtesy." ”

Li Jing, the king of Qi, straightened up, saw Li Jing's unhappy face, and said, "Brother Huang's face is not good, did he not rest well last night?" As he spoke, he sighed and said, "The younger brother is incompetent, and he can't share the worries of the country, it's really useless." ”

Li Jing pursed his lips and took a sip of tea, this King Qi was still selling Guanzi. Immediately counted the excerpts on the case, and said: "In the past few days, I can't see the excerpts of impeaching Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu at all. As he spoke, he picked up a copy casually and said, "Look at it, this is Cheng Jiang Wenwei's book in the imperial history, look at what he said in the excerpt?" Get close to the villain, reuse the treacherous, and in the long run, the country will not be a country. That Empress Chen is my example! Hmph, the king of a country, in his eyes, is it so unbearable? ”

As he spoke, he threw the fold on the ground, and his anger did not subside.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, bent down to pick up the fold, and after a cursory look, his face also changed. Jiang Wenwei has always had an upright personality, but this is too much. Isn't he afraid of the wrath of the Son of Heaven? Immediately hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, this Jiang Wenwei's words are really not true, and he should be punished." ”

"How is it punished?" Li Jing narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Jiang Wenwei used the excuse of worrying about the country and the people to criticize the imperial brother, and he should have been beheaded, but in order to declare the benevolence of the imperial brother, the younger brother thought that it would be enough to punish him for one year." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said.

Li Jing glanced at King Qi in some surprise and said, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Brother Huang, the excerpts of the impeachment of Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others in the past few days are really piled up in the room, whether it is Han Xizai, Jiang Wenwei and others, they have a great reputation among the people, whether they are right or not, they can't be touched. On the contrary, it is a fact that Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others were defeated, which is absolutely indisputable, including Li Zhenggu, Zhu Kuangye, Gao Xiansi and others were also defeated, which humiliated the Tang Dynasty. The younger brother thinks that merit will be rewarded, and transcession will be punished. Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others must be severely punished. Li Jingsui said a long list of words, which made Li Jing feel strange.

"King Qi, how will it be punished?" Li Jing asked.

"Be beheaded, to set an example!" Li Jingsui said very definitely.

"Chop?" Li Jing was taken aback, in his heart, he didn't think so, so Li Jingsui's word "chop" surprised him a lot.

"Slash!" Li Jingsui repeated.

"The stakes are high, and I still have to think about it." Li Jing rubbed his temples.

Li Jingsui squinted his eyes, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Yang Lian proposed to let him meet His Majesty, not to retreat but to advance, but to punish Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others more severely than the Han Party, I don't know what the effect will be?

"I'm sleepy, you can retreat first." Li Jing said.

"Yes." Li Jing gave a salute and was about to retreat, when he suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Your Majesty, now that the spring flowers are blooming, is this year's spring hunt still being held?" ”

"Spring hunting." Li Jing thought about it, there were too many things to worry about recently, and it was better to go out for a walk, so he said, "I'll leave this matter to you to deal with." ”

"Yes, Brother Huang!" Li Jing retreated, left the imperial city, and went straight to the Yang Inn.

Yang Lian was practicing archery in the courtyard, his arm strength was full, and he instinctively pulled out the three-stone hard bow, but the archery was not accurate, and he still used a two-stone bow and arrow. Compared with practicing martial arts, practicing bows and arrows is the most difficult, and you must pay attention to your eyesight and accuracy.

When Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, came, Yang Lian was sweating profusely, and he hurriedly wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and went to see the king of Qi.

Li Jingsui was pacing around the room, he was a little uneasy, would it be self-defeating to act according to Yang Lian's plan? After meeting His Majesty, his heart became more and more uneasy. Seeing Yang Lian, he said the worries in his heart again.

"King Qi doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has a mirror in his heart. The heavier the impeachment of Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu, the more he will be worried. Yang Lian comforted.

Li Jingsui nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

"King Qi should not worry about how His Majesty will judge, but should worry about one thing, that is, Song Situ and Prime Minister Feng must no longer intercede for Chen, Feng and others." Yang Lian advised again.

Li Jing, the king of Qi, thought for a while and said, "This king will go to the mansion of Song Situ and Prime Minister Feng!" With that, he hurriedly took his leave. The groom and the maid escorted him, first to Song Qiqiu's mansion.

Yang Lian sent the King of Qi away, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, but it is not without a trace, Li Jing, the king of Qi, will do the opposite, and there will inevitably be gains, but whether Song Situ and Prime Minister Feng will act according to Yang Lian's plan is not within Yang Lian's control.

However, even if Song Situ and Prime Minister Feng didn't listen to Yang Lian's words, for Yang Lian, the loss would not be big. He only needed to make a gesture and remind King Qi at the right time that this thing suggested this, and that thing suggested that it should be done, and that would be enough.

If Song Situ and Prime Minister Feng acted according to Yang Lian's words, Yang Lian also had enough confidence to believe that the Son of Heaven would definitely not kill Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others, and the punishment would probably be to be demoted to a local official, or at most exile, but the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not large, even if it is exiled, there is no place that is too remote. As long as they survive this period and there are people operating in the DPRK and China, they will still be able to come back at the right time.

The idea is out, Yang Lian has done what he should do, and let King Qi deal with the rest, and when he returns to the house, Yang Lian continues to practice archery.
