Chapter 66: On the Eve of the Storm

In Yanwang's Mansion, Li Hongyi, Sun Sheng, Chen Dongshen and others sat on the ground, and on the low desk, there were a few small dishes and a pot of spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info A few maids were waiting, and the weather was still a little cold, but a few maids were very little dressed, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

Chen Dongshen couldn't help but take a few looks, the quality of the maids in Yanwang's Mansion was good, which made him salivate, and he really wanted to swallow these women in one gulp.

Li Hongji was not surprised, knowing that this new guy who took refuge in himself was jealous and lustful, of course, man, this is also normal. Li Hongji was in a happy mood, so he didn't care too much. In the past few days, rumors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have reached the ears of my father.

Any plan will have loopholes, and this one is no exception, but Li Hongji deliberately created loopholes, because he did not intend to do this, but for another purpose.

Sun Sheng drank a glass of wine, pursed his lips, and said, "King Yan, in a few days, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to bear it, and will inevitably gather the ministers to discuss this matter." ā€

Li Hongji smiled with joy on his face, and said: "In the past few days, that Yang Lian has stayed in the Yang Mansion honestly, and occasionally a few robes have come to see him, most of them are drinking, and he has no way to deal with it for the time being. ā€

Chen Dongshen took a breath of cold air at this time, and applauded: "King Yan, Yang Lian'er has lost his position, so he must chase and fight hard and force him into the abyss." ā€

"This is nature." Li Hongji nodded.

Almost at the same time, in the imperial city, Li Jing put down a fold and frowned, his expression was obviously not relaxed at all. In addition to the recent Jinling incidents, there is also bad news in Datang, first of all, Han Xizai, who was transferred to Xuanzhou Jiedu Governor, wrote a book, saying that a sow in Xuanzhou gave birth, and there was actually a two-headed piglet, and a few days later, this little pig with only two heads was able to run at birth, and actually tried to swim across the Wuhu water, and was finally drowned.

Chang Mengxi, the deputy envoy of Raozhou regimental training, also handed over the excerpt, saying that in Pengli Lake, there was a fisherman who caught a big fish, and the big fish spat out people's words, which was amazing, and soon, the big fish died, and it did not rot for several days, and the fisherman was different, so he told the government.

In addition, there were also local officials in Jinghai, Jiangzhou and other places who presented excerpts, most of which were local miracles, and for a while, Li Jing mistakenly thought that he was reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Throughout the ages, when there is a vision in heaven and earth, it means that something big is going to happen, and for Datang, the biggest thing is nothing more than the subversion of the society.

Is this possible? Is the Tang Dynasty going to perish at my hands?

Li Jing was overjoyed by the great victory in Fuzhou, but within a few days of this joy, he fell into deep anxiety, and the country passed down from his father must not be lost in his hands. But what do these visions really represent?

From the imperial study to the harem, Li Jing has been thinking about this problem, and Queen Zhong saw that he was worried, and couldn't help but ask about things. Li Jing thought about it and told her about it.

After hearing this, Empress Zhong said: "Since there have been many visions recently, you might as well gather the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and you can also pay attention to it." ā€

Li Jing thought so, passed the order, and held a court meeting the day after tomorrow to discuss major matters.

The Son of Heaven gave marriage, and Princess Huairou had known about it for a long time, so she was in the house these days and never went out, but Yang Lian did not come to the Qi Palace, and Princess Huairou was very angry. Father was busy, and he didn't know what he was tossing, but fortunately, during this time, Situ Zhouzong's eldest daughter Zhou Ehuang often came to accompany her, and finally someone spoke.

Zhou Ehuang also has a little girl less than two years old by his side, although she is very small, she is like a jade carving, cute and important, Zhou Ehuang loves this little girl very much.

Princess Huairou was teasing the little girl, and when she saw her babbling appearance, she couldn't help but be happy.

Emperor Zhou E saw Princess Huairou teasing the little girl, thought about it, and couldn't help asking: "Princess, it is said that Your Majesty has decided on the date of marriage, but why hasn't you made a holy decree?" "It's already mid-February, although it seems that there is still a lot of time, but in fact, the marriage procedure is complicated, and it can't be done in just two or three months, not to mention that the two have special identities, so they naturally have to prepare well.

Princess Huairou shook her head, she didn't know why, and it was not easy to ask.

Zhou Ehuang suddenly realized something, lowered his head a little embarrassed, picked up the little girl beside him, the little girl stretched out her hand, slapped Zhou Ehuang's face, and whined.

Princess Huairou smiled and asked, "Emperor E, you and the six princes ......"

Before the words could be saved, Emperor Zhou E shook his head and said, "Princess, you misunderstood, I don't have anything with the six princes. ā€

Princess Huairou glanced at her with some surprise, she knew that Emperor Zhou E had disguised herself as a man several times, went out to play with the six princes, and enjoyed the rivers and mountains, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be extraordinary, but she actually denied it, why is this?

In Emperor Zhou E's mind, a few figures appeared, the palace maid Liuzhu who followed the six princes, and the tall figure, she was a little confused for a while. At this time, the little girl cried loudly, and Zhou Ehuang coaxed her, but she still cried. Emperor Zhou E had to hug the girl, confess and leave.

Princess Huairou couldn't help but sigh as she watched the two sisters leave, and she couldn't understand what her uncle meant. When Princess Huairou was thinking, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, got off the sedan chair at the door, saw Emperor Zhou E leaving in a hurry, and said a few words to her, and then entered the mansion.

King Qi also seemed a little worried, he already knew about the ballads circulating in the streets and alleys, and he even discussed it with Yang Lian, both of them thought that someone must be behind this ballad, but no one was sure until there was no evidence.

The imperial brother decided to meet in the court after tomorrow to discuss major matters, although he did not say it explicitly, but the king of Qi knew that the matter of discussion was this matter nine times out of ten, and the spearhead of the song was directed at Yang Lian, how to deal with it? He had already sent someone to secretly inform Yang Lian, asking him to make some preparations, so as not to be passive at the court meeting the day after tomorrow.

Yang Mansion, Yang Lian held a secret report in his hand and was thinking. In the secret report, Lin Renzhao told him that after the Chinese New Year, the situation in Huaibei was very unstable, and because it was in the mountains on the border with the Han Kingdom, the bandits were ready to move, and there seemed to be a tendency to go south.

Yang Lian estimated that the grain of the Huaibei group of thieves had been almost consumed, and now that the weather was warmer, there were attempts to rob the grain everywhere. Yang Lian wrote a letter, asking Lin Renzhao to be vigilant, to spread scouts on the border, and to patrol the fortress frequently, even if the Huaibei bandits really went south, they would not get any news.

Lin Renzhao has the talent of a general, Yang Lian believes that Lin Renzhao will definitely be able to hold the two states of Haichu, but he does not want to rush back as soon as possible, after all, for Yang Lian, the two states of Haichu are his future territory, and there must be no accidents, and he has brought back a large number of shipwrights, the purpose is to build a sailor in Haizhou.

Yang Lian thought about it, called Chen Tie, and asked him to take the shipwright to the north in advance, and as for Yang Lian, he stayed in Jinling. Chen Tie was reluctant at first, saying that he wanted to protect Yang Lian's safety, but Yang Lian told him that no one dared to use force easily in Jinling, so Chen Tie was relieved and prepared to secretly take the shipwright north.

Yang Lian told him that these shipwrights must be treated preferentially and their safety must be guaranteed, and whether Haizhou can create a good sailor depends on these shipwrights.

After solving this matter, Yang Lian began to think about the things in the court, the King of Qi had already passed the news to him, and Gao Ze, who was beside the Son of Heaven, also secretly told him Zhou Zong's words, Yang Lian was a little puzzled, he had no grudge against Zhou Zong, but when he was near Xuanwu Lake, Yang Lian also saved Zhou Zong and killed a snake, but why did Zhou Zong do this?

Soon after Zhou Zong knew the ballad in the Son of Heaven, he entered the palace to make a confession, this is definitely not a coincidence, but intentional, could it be that Zhou Zong is also a member of King Yan's party? They have already colluded together to deal with the King of Qi, or are they dealing with themselves?

The sky is getting dark, at dusk, Zeng Yiling returned to Yang's mansion, she brought a few news, one is that with the singing of songs, the people became panicked, compared to the north, the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for many years, and it is not easy to live a stable life, no one wants to fall back into the war and continue to be displaced. It is said that in the past two days, the price of rice and grain in Jinling has begun to rise, and many people are lining up to buy grain, but the supply is still in short supply.

Secondly, there are a large number of voices from the government and the opposition, some people intend to subvert the Tang Dynasty, although they do not say who they are, but it is self-evident that they are related to what has happened recently.

Zeng Yiling has secretly deployed manpower to step up the investigation of the surrounding situation in Jinling, and no matter what changes there are, they will be transmitted back immediately. Yang Lian felt a little relieved, Zeng Yiling had a group of people with three religions and nine streams, and it was more convenient to inquire about the news. At present, there is another important thing, which is to find the person who spread the news, but after this period of investigation, the whereabouts of this person have not been found.

If this person is found, he will be able to dig out the main messenger behind him, and with evidence, Yang Lian will be able to face it calmly, and he can even fight back, but there is no evidence, no matter how reasonable his speculation is, it will be useless. It's just that this matter can't be rushed, so I can only take one step at a time.

The night passed, and the next day Chen Tie was already ready, before leaving, he came to see Yang Lian, Yang Lian gave him a letter, and asked him to bring Lin Renzhao, Haichu and the two states of the matter, temporarily entrusted to him, as for Jinling, no matter what happens, must not act rashly.

Chen Tie nodded, indicating that he would complete the task, and then left. Those shipwrights were originally placed in Yang Lian's manor outside Jinling City, and Chen Tie went out of the city, brought more than 100 family members, and led the shipwrights to the north.

Yang Lian was still grounded, reading books in Yang's mansion, fishing, and the day's scene passed like this, until late at night, Mi Shiwei, who had not seen her for a long time, brought a person in, this person was tied with her hands, and when she saw Yang Lian, her body shook, knelt down, and said: "Yang Jiedu spares his life, the villain will recruit anything, recruit anything, as long as Yang Jiedu spares the villain's life." ā€

Yang Lian smiled, saluted Mi Shiwei, and said, "Thank you, Miss Mi." ā€

Mi Shiwei was a little unfamiliar with Yang Lian like this, she was stunned, turned around and disappeared into the night. (To be continued.) )
