Chapter 71: Yang Lian's persistence
In Li Jing's heart, don't say that Li Hongji is not the crown prince, even if he is the crown prince, he must have the consciousness of the crown prince, and Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, has done a good job, so Li Jing will rest assured that he will hand over the power to Li Jingsui.
But for King Yan, his recent performance made Li Jing very unhappy, this Tang Dynasty is still his Li Jing's, just a Yan King, is so domineering? Of course, in Li Jing's heart, there is another reason, that is, this incident, Yang Lian can be said to be frank and told Li Jing the cause and effect of the incident, but King Yan has something to hide.
Li Jing has made things clear in the past two days, and things are indeed as Yang Lian said, King Yan took people to rob Zeng Yiling, but at the node of the matter, there was a node that caught his attention, that is, when Li Hongji went to rob Zeng Yiling, Zeng Yiling clearly told him that he was Yang Lian's wife. But judging from Yang Lian's performance, he doesn't seem to know. In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that Yang Lian really didn't know, until Zeng Yiling was robbed, and the people from the brothel went to complain, Yang Lian was angry, so he went to Yanwangfu to rob people. And the woman who went to the brothel to complain, Li Jing also figured it out, her name is Zhang Qili, and she is from Suzhou.
Another possibility is that Yang Lian deceived him, in order to marry Princess Huairou, he ascended to the sky in one step, so he would hide something. However, if he deliberately concealed it, why would he make so many troubles? That is irrational and has no interests to take advantage of for him.
All things considered, Li Jing felt that although Yang Lian was at fault in this matter, he deserved sympathy. And King Yan deliberately concealed it, and instigated the ministers of the court to impeach Yang Lian, which was clearly intended to cause Yang Lian and death, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to passers-by. On the scale in his heart, Li Jing unconsciously leaned towards Yang Lian.
Different from Li Jing's consideration, Li Jingsui suddenly heard that Yang Lian was actually imprisoned in Dali Temple, so he asked anxiously: "Gonggong Gao, how is Yang Lian in Dali Temple?" And he was not tortured to extract a confession? Everyone knows that Xiao Yan is fair and strict, but at the same time, it sometimes means that he does not know how to be flexible, and King Qi thinks that Yang Lian is his son-in-law in his heart, so he is naturally very worried.
"This ......" Gao Ze hesitated.
Seeing him hesitate, Li Jingsui's face couldn't help but change, and he said urgently: "Father-in-law Gao, could it be that Yang Lian had an accident in Dali Temple?" β
Gao Gonggong knelt down with a "poof" and said: "Your Majesty, King Qi, the slave maid just went to Dali Temple, and learned a news, about an hour ago, someone intended to assassinate Yang Lian, the dagger was quenched with poison, and now Yang Lian's life is dying, I'm afraid it will ......."
When Gao Ze spoke, he deliberately said that the situation was very serious, this time, not only did Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, change color, Li Jing was also furious, Yang Lian was guilty, and he had to wait for him to be punished, but someone dared to assassinate Yang Lian, which was equivalent to slapping Li Jing in the face, not to mention that this incident happened in Dali Temple, are the people in Dali Temple a group of stupid fools? Can't even protect yourself?
Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, did not speak, and immediately walked out in a hurry, obviously going to Dali Temple to visit Yang Lian.
Li Jing hurriedly said: "King Qi, with Yang Lian's situation, send someone to report quickly." β
"Yes, Brother Huang!" Li Jingsui dropped this sentence and left in a hurry.
Li Jing had a gloomy face, pacing in the imperial study, and Yu Guang saw Gao Ze still kneeling on the ground, so he said, "Gao Ze, it's not your business, you get up." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Ze said, standing up.
"I was in a hurry just now, and I haven't had time to ask yet. Has the assassin who assassinated Yang Lian ever been caught? Li Jing asked.
"Your Majesty, Dali Temple had already captured the assassin, but the assassin was quite fierce and actually committed suicide." Gao Ze said.
Li Jing shook his head and said, "Hmph, so I don't know who the assassin is?" Halfway through the pace, Li Jing suddenly stopped and asked, "Gao Ze, do you think this matter was done by King Yan?" β
"Old slave, old slave dare not speak falsely." Gao Ze was very frightened.
At this time, the voice of the little eunuch sounded outside the door, and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, asks to see you." β
"Hmph, it's just in time, I want to see what he has to say." Li Jing said, turning around and sitting in a chair.
"Xuan!" Gao Ze said loudly.
The door was pushed open, Xiao Yan walked in with a booklet in his hand, cautiously looked at the Son of Heaven sitting on the chair, and saw that he had a calm face, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face, and he couldn't help but feel very worried. "Wechen Xiao Yan has seen Your Majesty!"
Li Jing sat on the chair and did not speak, this atmosphere seemed solemn, Xiao Yan waited for a while, saw that the Son of Heaven did not speak, held the booklet in his hand upward, and said: "Weichen Xiao Yan has seen Your Majesty, about Yang Lian's assassination, after a nervous test, there has been a result. "During this time, the servants of Dali Temple have already examined the woman in black and found that on her body, in addition to the tiger's claws, there are many scars, most of which are old wounds, so it can almost be judged that this person is a professional killer.
Li Jing shook his head, Gao Ze stepped forward, picked up the fold in Xiao Yan's hand, and handed it to Li Jing.
Li Jing opened it and looked at it, and suddenly, his eyes were condensed on the word "tiger claw", and he looked at it fixedly, Li Jing sighed and said, "The mark on the female assassin's body, is it sure to be the tiger claw?" β
Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that it is a tiger's claw. β
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Li Jing stood up, paced in the imperial study, and said, "Xiao Aiqing, you step back first, Yang Lian's safety must be attentive, if something happens again, I will never spare it." β
"We're thanking you." Xiao Yan said, stood up, and slowly retreated, his heart was very puzzled, why did His Majesty suddenly calm down, and he cared so much about Yang Lian, why didn't he just let him go back, or continue to stay in Dali Temple?
In Dali Temple, the poisonous blood of Yang Lian's wound has been eliminated, the wound has been cleaned, medicated, and bandaged, and this person also seems to be more energetic. King Qi stood aside, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Fortunately in misfortune, there is no big problem." β
Yang Lian lay on the soft couch and said with a smile: "King Qi has a great opportunity, and he can still come to see me, Yang Lian is really moved." β
"Yang Lian, why should a family talk about two families." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, smiled.
Yang Lian was slightly stunned, from his words, Yang Lian judged that in King Qi's heart, he still wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but what he said a few days ago was not clear enough? Shaking his kung fu, Li Jingsui smiled and spoke again.
"Yang Lian, about your matter, Gu and the imperial brother have already reached a conclusion, you don't have to be nervous, as long as you give up that Zeng Yiling, I will still marry Princess Huairou to you." Li Jingsui said with a smile, this is a very simple choice, he believes that Yang Lian will make a wise choice.
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "King Qi, Zeng Yiling is my wife, and I will not give up." β
"You, after all, she is a dusty woman in a brothel, you are a dignified temperance envoy, don't destroy your future, be willing to degenerate, and marry a fireworks woman." Li Jingsui hates iron and steel, is his daughter ugly? Not worthy of him?
Yang Lian struggled to sit up, the wound was very painful, which made him gasp a few breaths of cold air, and finally sat up, Yang Lian said: "King Qi, Yang Lian knows your kindness, but Zeng Yiling is my wife, and I will never divorce her." β
"Why are you so stubborn?" King Qi's originally smiling face suddenly stepped down, looked at Yang Lian with a gloomy face, snorted coldly, and said, "Yang Lian, do you know what you're doing?" β
"King Qi, I know very well what I'm doing, what I'm going to do." Yang Lian nodded and looked at King Qi very seriously.
"Even if you die, you don't hesitate to do it?" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, asked again.
Yang Lian was stunned at first, then nodded firmly, and said, "I don't hesitate to do it." β
This time it was the turn of Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, to be stunned, he looked at Yang Lian carefully, couldn't help sighing, and said: "Yang Lian, Yang Lian, should you let this king say that you are infatuated, or do you not know the current affairs?" β
Yang Lian smiled and said, "Perhaps, it's both." β
Li Jingsui looked at him, didn't speak for a while, and was silent for about half a pillar of incense, Li Jingsui sighed faintly and said: "This matter, Lone will not hide it from you, the imperial brother said, if you don't obey, I will kill you." β
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible to do such a thing. Besides, Zeng Yiling is my fiancΓ©e, if I abandon her, I will be sorry for heaven and earth, and I will be sorry for my parents who have passed away for many years. I don't want to be such a person. β
Zeng Yiling refers to his wife, but what is her identity, and what is Huairou's identity? How can he marry you as a child? Yang Lian, you really disappointed me. Li Jingsui frowned, and without waiting for Yang Lian to answer, he asked again: "Does Huairou know about this matter?" Huairou rushed back angrily that day, and it was very likely that he knew, but this kind of thing, it was difficult for him, a father, to ask.
Yang Lian nodded and said, "I told Huairou." β
"So, she got it." Li Jingsui said.
Yang Lian said: "Yes." β
Li Jingsui snorted and said, "It's really wronged. As he spoke, he walked away without looking back.
Yang Lian slowly leaned on the soft couch, the conversation just now, the physical wear was not small, he was a little sleepy, so he lay on the soft couch to rest.
Outside the door, Han Chongde slowly paced over, saw Yang Lian on the soft couch, shook his head slightly, he listened to what he said just now, he couldn't understand what Yang Lian did, after all, compared with a delicate princess and a woman from a green building, most people's choices must be delicate princesses.
But Yang Lian refused to give up the woman who was born in the Qinglou, which made Han Chongde very surprised, he felt that Yang Lian was a madman, even if Zeng Yiling was beautiful, but Princess Huairou's appearance was not bad, and if she became a concubine, what kind of woman couldn't get it? Secretly, you can still raise Zeng Yiling, why make such a fuss?
In fact, not only Han Chongde thought that Yang Lian was a madman, but even Li Jingsui also felt that Yang Lian was a madman, and on the way home, he remembered Yang Lian's resolute attitude, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. (To be continued.) )
