Another day passed, under the moonlight, the light and shadow were dappled, and Li Jingsui paced in the courtyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At dusk today, the imperial brother invited him into the palace, and the two discussed a very important matter in the secret room.

When Li Jingsui knew that King Yan was likely to be involved in the rebellion, Li Jingsui was very surprised, although he was different from Li Hongjidao, but Li Jingsui was very unbearable, King Yan wanted to rebel and challenge the emperor's prestige, which was of course extremely inappropriate. However, after all, they are father and son, so Li Jingsui's kindness is overflowing again, and he hopes that the imperial brother can find out about this matter and must not wronged King Yan.

Li Jing was sure of Li Jingsui's soft-heartedness, and told him that if this matter was true, he hoped to spare King Yan's life, as long as King Yan was imprisoned, it would be enough.

Li Jingsui felt that this was a good plan, so he agreed. But afterwards, Li Jingsui felt that Li Hongji was always a huge hidden danger, and since he could have the idea of rebellion, if he didn't kill him, I am afraid that this thought would never disappear in his heart.

Li Jingsui hesitated for a while, and the imperial brother asked him to keep this matter secret, not to leak the rumors, and even Yang Lian couldn't say it, which made Li Jingsui very worried. He knew that Li Hongji was targeting himself, but he was actually targeting Yang Lian, and he was a little worried about Yang Lian's safety, but the imperial brother repeatedly told him that this matter must be kept secret, and Li Jingsui seemed very hesitant.

When Li Jingsui was pondering, footsteps sounded behind him, and Li Jingsui turned back in amazement, but it was Yang Lian who came.

"King Qi." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui frowned and said, "You still call me King Qi?" ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly, arched his hand, and said, "Yes, Uncle Yue." ”

"It's so late, you're not in the mansion, is there anything important about coming here?" Li Jingsui asked.

Yang Lian laughed, deliberately lowered his voice again, and said, "King Qi, there has been something wrong in Jinling City recently. ”

Li Jingsui's heart tightened, and said, "Yang Lian, what bad news have you heard?" ”

"Uncle Yue, this matter is very important, let's talk about it over there." Yang Lian pointed to the pavilion not far away.

Li Jingsui nodded, ordered the guards not far away, brought some tea up, and asked people to guard around.

In the pavilion, the two sat opposite each other, Yang Lian pondered for a while, and said, "Uncle Yue, recently, the Yan Wangfu is very weird, I don't know if Uncle Yue knows?" ”

Li Jingsui's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his normal complexion and said, "Yan Wangfu? What did you hear? ”

"In the past few days, I have heard that many people have entered and exited the Yanwang Mansion, and I don't know what is being stirred up." Yang Lian said that he had already seen King Qi's expression clearly just now, and he had paid attention to it in his heart.

Li Jingsui was silent, he was guessing in his heart that Yang Lian's purpose was to tell him that King Yan had something wrong? Or is there some other purpose? Li Jingsui remembered the words of the imperial brother, laughed dryly, and said, "Yang Lian, King Yan may be leaving Jinling, so before leaving, invite some friends to dinner." ”

"Is that really the case?" Yang Lian asked rhetorically, he tapped lightly on the case, and said: "But according to the news, most of the people who went to Yanwang's Mansion in the past few days are generals in the army, and after these people go back, their actions are particularly strange, which can't help but make me very suspicious." ”

"Particularly strange?" Li Jingsui couldn't help asking, Li Jing didn't tell him about this.

Yang Lian said: "If it's just ordinary people entering and leaving the Yanwang Mansion, I won't be suspicious at all, these days, in addition to the forbidden generals in the army, there are Guo Rong of the Zhou State and Yelu Xiyin of the Khitan, these people go in and out of the Yanwang Mansion, don't you think it's strange for Yue Zhang?" ”

"Silk!" Li Jingsui gasped, Yang Lian's words made him vigilant, Li Jingsui is cowardly, but not stupid, Guo Rong represents the Zhou State, Yelu Xiyin represents the Khitan, these two people enter and leave the Yanwang Mansion, the meaning is very different.

Could it be that King Yan has already reached an agreement with them? But what is this agreement?

In the imperial city, Li Jing was lying on the soft couch, beside him, a young and beautiful palace maid massaged Li Jing's body, the palace maid's hands were very soft, pressed on the body, very comfortable, Li Jing couldn't help but snort a few times comfortably.

However, the physical comfort could not make him completely quiet, and in his mind, he still recalled Xu Wei's words, and it was very likely that King Yan would do something disobedient. However, after all, it was his son, and King Yan's disobedience was mainly to kill Yang Lian and King Qi, and it was not a big threat to him, so this made Li Jing very hesitant.

Li Jing remembered what he said to King Qi at dusk today, and the matter was still under his control, so Li Jing just told King Qi that King Yan would make a move, and once he really did something disobedient, he hoped that King Qi would spare King Yan's life.

Li Jing said vaguely, but he was not ambiguous in his heart, how can we eliminate this disaster? For now, the generals who can be trusted, in addition to Yang Lian, there are Liu Yanzhen, Chen Keyan and others, Yang Lian was the most reliable, after all, he made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing already trusted him very much.

However, Yang Lian's personality is relatively irritable, once he learns that King Yan wants to kill him, Yang Lian will definitely not be able to hold it, then King Yan will be in danger. So what about Liu Yanzhen and Chen Keyan? Liu Yanzhen is a veteran, and he has a good hand in leading troops, but people are more greedy, over the years, Liu Yanzhen has been greedy for a lot of money, which Li Jing knows, but it doesn't involve Li Jing's big interests, he won't care. Relying on Liu Yanzhen to come up with ideas doesn't seem to work.

Chen Keyan? He was promoted to Jinling after accumulating military merits, first as a Jinling guard, and then the forbidden army went out to fight, with great losses, Li Jing summoned Chen Keyan into the palace, this person is conscientious and efficient, but after all, he is younger, Li Jing is a little worried.

Li Jing has asked Xu Wei to check the list of generals who went to Yanwang's Mansion for a banquet, even if these generals have no objections, but in the current situation, it is always good to have one more mind.

On one side is a son, on the other side is a brother, which makes Li Jing very difficult, he has thought about it for a long time, but he has never figured it out, how to deal with this matter? Before he knew it, Li Jing fell asleep.

"Uncle Yue, according to various signs, I very much suspect that Li Hongji has rebelled, and his purpose is to kill me, including you." In the palace of King Qi, Yang Lian's words were not shocking, and his words shocked Li Jing so much that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

The imperial brother told him that it was a rebellion, and this rebellion was naturally a rebellion of today's son, although in Li Jingsui's view, Li Hongji's behavior was very disrespectful, but they were father and son after all, so when Li Jing asked him for advice, Li Jingsui chose to forgive. However, if what Yang Lian said was true, and Li Hongji only wanted to kill himself and Yang Lian, the situation would be very different.

Li Jingsui's heart tightened, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Yang Lian, is this true?" ”

"Imagine that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Yuanzhang Yue and his son-in-law are Li Hongji's enemies, if he really has bad intentions, who will he want to deal with in the first place?" Yang Lian asked.

Li Jingsui was dumbfounded, and he suddenly remembered that as the imperial brother said, King Yan might rebel. If he succeeded, and even killed the royal brother, what about himself? With his relationship with King Yan, he will inevitably be killed.

Li Jingsui stopped talking, he stood with his hands in his hands, pacing in the pavilion and thinking.

Yang Lian didn't rush to urge King Qi, but he already understood that he had made the right bet, and King Qi had already hesitated, it seemed that he knew something, and even the Son of Heaven knew something. It's just that this matter is a big deal after all, and neither of them dares to draw conclusions.

Li Jingsui thought for a while, and then said, "Yang Lian, what other news do you have?" ”

"At present, I only know that Li Hongji is gathering manpower, and I don't know the specific steps yet." Yang Lian shook his head, paused, and became solemn between his words, and said: "But this matter is very important, if Li Hongji really wants to rebel, he must make arrangements in advance." ”

Li Jingsui pursed his lips and thought for a while before he said, "Yang Lian, this matter must be kept secret and not leaked." ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Yue, only I know about this matter at present." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui nodded and said, "Continue to monitor the Yanwang Mansion, and if there is any situation, be sure to tell me." ”

"Do you want to tell Your Majesty about this?" Yang Lian asked again, this is also a temptation.

Li Jingsui was slightly stunned, but still shook his head, and said: "This matter is very important, it is not confirmed, and it must not be told to the imperial brother." As long as things can be controlled, there is no need to tell the royal brother. ”

"Whoa." Yang Lian replied, but he already had an idea in his heart.

The two talked for a while, Yang Lian got up to say goodbye, Li Jing asked Yang Lian to go out, but he was in the yard, feeling the cool breeze, but he hesitated in his heart, the news that the imperial brother and Yang Lian brought to him was different, especially the news brought by the latter, which shocked him even more. At this time, Li Jingsui understood why the imperial brother asked him about dealing with King Yan, and when he learned that he agreed to imprison King Yan, he was even more relieved.

Li Jingsui paced slowly, how to do this matter? He will never sit still, in this way, all hope is on Yang Lian.

When Yang Lian returned to Yang's mansion, it was already the beginning of his life, and at the door of the mansion, a person in civilian clothes was wandering in front of the door, and saw Yang Lian coming over and hurriedly walked over.

"Wu Hou, you're finally back!" The person who came was Xiao Yan from Dali Temple, and I saw him anxious.

Yang Lian turned over and dismounted, and when he saw his sweaty appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Siqing is so late, and he is still waiting in front of Yang's mansion, could it be that something is wrong?" ”

"Something really happened!" Xiao Yan glanced around and said, "But this is not the place to talk." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Xiao Siqing, please!" ”

The two entered Yang's mansion one after the other, and in the study, Yang Lian asked people to stay outside the door and personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yan, and then slowly asked.

"Marquis Wu, according to reliable information, King Yan wants to rebel." Xiao Yan said, his tone was very solemn.

Yang Lian was slightly stunned, Xiao Yan also knew about this? He quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Xiao Siqing, do you have any evidence?" Otherwise, you can't talk nonsense. ”

"There's evidence." Xiao Yan nodded.

"Oh? Xiao Siqing might as well talk about it. Yang Lian settled down.

Xiao Yan said: "Wu Hou, Xiaguan has a fellow villager who serves in the Praetorian Guard, and a few days ago he drank with Xiaguan and accidentally drank too much, revealing the matter. Five days ago, King Yan had hosted a banquet for a group of generals from the Praetorian Guard, and now he had taken control of the families of these generals, and promised enough benefits to kill the King of Qi and the Marquis of Wu, and then seize the imperial city, following Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Rebellion. ”

Yang Lian's face changed, and he asked nervously, "Xiao Siqing, is this true?" ”

"Seriously!" Xiao Yan's language is very certain.

Yang Lian couldn't help but stand up, and he didn't know if he was nervous or the weather was hot, sweat broke out on his forehead. On the side, Xiao Yan looked at Yang Lian, who was pacing nervously in the study, and his heart also reached his throat.

"Is there a detailed plan?" Yang Lian asked.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said: "Although the fellow villagers of the lower officials are also participants, they are not the core after all, there is no news yet, of course, maybe it is King Yan's side, and the corresponding plan has not been formulated." ”

"Whew!" Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Xiao Yan, and said, "For such an important matter, why don't you face the Son of Heaven?" ”

Xiao Yan shook his head, smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said: "No matter what, King Yan is the eldest son of His Majesty, if there is not enough evidence, His Majesty cannot believe such words, I am afraid that in the eyes of His Majesty, this is a heart-wrenching word." ”

Yang Lian was silent for a moment, squinting at him, a little murderous, and said, "So you told me about this matter, do you want me to tell Your Majesty?" ”

"Wu Hou Yingming." Xiao Yan's answer was very brief.

"Do you think that if I say this, the Son of Heaven will believe it?" Yang Lian smiled bitterly.

"Even if you don't believe it, at least Wu Hou can prevent this from happening." Xiao Yan said.

Yang Lian was silent for a while, and said: "Xiao Siqing, you also think too highly of me, in this Jinling, there are many people with a higher status than me, what can I do to stop it?" ”

Xiao Yan stood up suddenly, looking very angry, and said, "Wu Hou, are you just sitting back and watching this matter?" If King Yan's rebellion succeeds, the first person he wants to kill must be Wu Hou! The official came to tell this secret so late, but Wu Hou obviously didn't believe it! My kindness is really treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”

Without waiting for Yang Lian to reply, Xiao Yan was about to walk outside.

Yang Lian grabbed him in time, Xiao Yan, a scribe, was pulled by Yang Lian and stopped suddenly.

"Xiao Siqing, it's not that Benhou doesn't believe it, it's just that this matter is very important, and without enough evidence, Your Majesty will only think that we are separating their father-son relationship." Yang Lian said.

Xiao Yan's face looked much better, he pursed his lips and said, "Wu Hou, what if I can manage to get the evidence?" ”

"If you get the evidence, Ben Hou will naturally meet Your Majesty!" Yang Lian said categorically.

Xiao Yan looked at Yang Lian fixedly and said, "Wu Hou, is this true?" ”

"Seriously!" Yang Lian nodded.

"Well, I'll try to find my fellow countryman and get him to show evidence!" Xiao Yan said and walked out quickly.

Yang Lian stared at Xiao Yan's departing back, was silent for a while, he blew out the candle and walked out of the study.
