The sun was shining, Yang Lian was fishing for fish in the shade of the tree, looking like a leisurely look, but he was groaning in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He understood what Li Jing, the son of heaven, meant, and let Li Hongji go to Jizhou, which meant exile, but for Yang Lian, this was not enough, Li Hongji was not a person who was easy to die, otherwise King Qi had been the emperor's younger brother for several years, and Li Hongji would have died a long time ago. Li Hongji will definitely not give up, so will Li Hongji go to Jizhou with peace of mind?

Obviously not, if he goes to Jizhou, he can almost pronounce a verdict, Li Hongji's political career, the last glimmer of hope, will disappear, then, what kind of action will Li Hongji take? According to Yang Lian's eyeliner, in the Yanwang Mansion recently, not only Guo Rong appeared, but also Khitan people appeared. Not surprisingly, these people have colluded.

Yang Gon had secretly come to the Yang Mansion a few times and talked about things with Yang Lian. From Yang Gon's mouth, Yang Lian knew some news. Yelu Xiyin seemed to be on guard against Yang Gon, and went out several times without taking Yang Gon with him.

Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned for this news, because according to what Yang Gon knew, Yelu Xiyin didn't understand Chinese, and in Jinling, I'm afraid there weren't many people who knew Khitan, right, without Yang Gon, Yelu Xiyin could communicate with others? This is unreasonable, I think there are still many secrets hidden in Yelu Xiyin's body, but they are not known to Yang Lian for a while.

Now Yelu Xiyin has a jealousy of Yang Gon, one is to prove that Yang Gon is not his confidant, and the other is to prove that Yelu Xiyin has a great secret. Of the two, Yang Lian felt that the latter was more critical, Yelu Xi frequently went in and out of King Yan's mansion, and he didn't think that he wanted to contact King Yan and do something big.

Secretly, Yang Lian also found a confidant to discuss the matter, and felt that Yelu Xiyin and Guo Rong frequently entered and exited the Yanwang Mansion, there must be some secrets, and they must be investigated.

Soon, the spies sent by Yang Lian sent the news back, and these people did not move for the time being, hiding in the Yanwang Mansion to eat and drink, especially Li Hongji, the king of Yan, from the outside, Li Hongji was not anxious about being degraded. After receiving this news, Yang Lian felt a little relieved, and at the same time let people continue to secretly monitor Yanwangfu.

Yang Lian also asked Zeng Yiling to investigate this matter, even if Zeng Yiling still hides selfishness in some things, but in other words, if it is Yang Lian, he will not completely hand over his heart to his allies, relying on himself is the most reliable.

Zeng Yiling used the power she could use to investigate this matter, but judging from the information she had, she couldn't find any clues. This can only say that Li Hongji has no thoughts, and secondly, his actions this time are too secretive, so for Yang Lian, there is still no answer.

In the imperial city, Li Jing and Li Jingsui are pacing in the courtyard, the two are chatting, most of them are the affairs of the old land of Wu Yue, with the efforts of officials in various places, the growth of crops is gratifying, from the excerpts that come back from all over the country, this year's autumn harvest, even if it is not a bumper harvest, the harvest will be more than in previous years. This is not easy, you must know that when the war of Wu Yue Kingdom ended, the best spring ploughing period had been missed, especially Hangzhou, which was finally conquered.

However, fortunately, Cha Wenhui's training in the past few years has been quite effective, and he no longer seems to be a thorough literati, and the command is exaggerated. The experience in Fuzhou has made him more mature, and the government affairs are easy to handle.

Li Jing had already decided that when the situation in Hangzhou stabilized and Wu Yueguo's old land completely lost the intention of restoring the country, he would transfer Cha Wenhui back to Jinling to serve as prime minister. Cha Wenhui and Yang Lian have a good relationship, Yang Lian once recommended Cha Wenhui to stay in Fuzhou and Hangzhou, and it turns out that Cha Wenhui has done quite well.

Li Jing himself has a very good relationship with Cha Wenhui, so it is only a matter of time before Wenhui returns to Beijing after investigating it.

When the two were chatting, they couldn't help but talk about the alliance with the Khitan. Although Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, didn't understand what Yang Lian was going to do, he felt that Yang Lian's decision was not wrong. As for Li Jing, he still has very complicated emotions.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Jingsui said goodbye.

Li Jing saw that the sun was shining, thought about it, and went to the harem. In the past few days, Queen Zhong's mood has been very bad, after all, King Yan is her son, and she will go to Jizhou soon, how can she not make Queen Zhong depressed.

In the past few days, Queen Zhong has not played mahjong with other concubines, which makes Li Jing a little surprised.

"Zitong, are you worried about King Yan's affairs?" Li Jing asked, as a father and husband, he still has this kind of vision.

Although Empress Zhong tried her best to hide it, tears inevitably flowed from her eyes, and she said: "Your Majesty, after all, King Yan is still a child, although he has been released before, but most of them are in Xuanzhou, Runzhou and other places, and they are only a few days away from Jinling. However, the mountains and rivers in Jizhou are far away, and the weather is very hot, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Mother is worried, Zitong, I understand your intentions. Why don't I know? It's just that King Yan has such a stubborn temper, if he is allowed to continue to stay in Jinling, there will inevitably be more incidents. The contradiction with the King of Qi will become bigger and bigger. Li Jing said.

"However, there will be no contradictions in the future?" Empress Zhong asked.

"Maybe there will be, but if one day, King Qi ascends the throne as emperor, King Yan will never have the idea in his heart, and this matter will be revealed. Zitong, don't worry, today I have already told the king of Qi that the king of Yan will stay in Jizhou well, and if the king of Qi ascends the throne, he will pardon the king of Yan and summon him to Beijing, so that the resentment in the heart of the king of Yan will also disappear. Li Jing said slowly.

On one side is the oath, the Son of Heaven naturally can't break his word, what he said in front of the Liezu Zi Palace at the beginning, he can't help but do it, so the King of Qi must be the prince, and he is the person with the most power in the Tang Dynasty besides him. On the other side, it is his son, the tiger poison does not eat the child, how can Li Jing bear to kill his son? Even if he used to have that kind of mind.

When Empress Zhong heard this, she had to nod tearfully, hoping so.

Yan Wangfu, seemingly calm below, but there is an extremely turbulent undercurrent, in the daytime, Yan Wangfu can not see any clues, but at night, Li Hongji is discussing things with his henchmen.

It is not so easy to learn from Li Shimin to play the changes of Xuanwumen, even if Khitan and Zhou Guo fully support Li Hongji, Li Hongji needs to spend a lot of time to deal with this matter. But time is pressing, and there is not much time left for Li Hongji.

Because Li Hongji attempted to attack Yang Lian in the Suchang area, most of his subordinates died in battle, so now Li Hongji's account is now only more than 50 people, and with the Sun Sheng case, Li Hongji's economic resources have been greatly affected, and if it takes a little longer, I am afraid he will not be able to pay the high cost. These dead men are mothers with milk, and they don't have enough benefits, so they will never stay by Li Hongji's side.

These more than 50 people alone are obviously not enough, Guo Rong's side secretly sent more than 100 armor soldiers over, and these armor soldiers were properly placed by Li Hongji, and fortunately, Guo Rong was responsible for the expenses of these people, otherwise Li Hongji really couldn't afford it.

In this way, there are only about one hundred and fifty people, and as for the Khitans, they are dispensable, and Li Hongji did not consider them at all.

The key is to rely on the forbidden army, among the generals of the forbidden army who are good friends with Li Hongji, Zhu Lingyun has not made much progress in recent years, in fact, it was obvious at the beginning that the generals of the Yanwang family did not have the opportunity to go out, so they were not promoted, and Zhu Lingyun is still a commander. The power in hand is not large, and at critical moments, it does not have much effect.

In addition to Zhu Lingyun, there are some other generals of the forbidden army who have taken refuge in King Yan, but although some people have some rights, their loyalty has to be doubted, such as Zhou Ye and Zhou Hongzuo brothers, the power is greater, especially Zhou Ye, who is also in charge of a part of the forbidden army, if he can help, this matter will be half of it.

However, Li Hongji didn't dare to use such a big thing.

Moreover, whether their subordinates are willing to work with him for the Yan King is a big question. Even if they all served King Yan loyally, the number of people was far from enough, and more people were needed to take the imperial city in one fell swoop.

At this time, Li Hongji suddenly found that he did not have many people available, and he was very sad.

Guo Rong couldn't mobilize enough people from the Great Zhou for a while, and the sudden influx of so many people into Jinling would inevitably attract the attention of people with a heart, so Guo Rong suggested that Li Hongji try his best to recover the generals of the forbidden army and use them for him, which is the most reliable.

The opportunity seemed to come, and in the twilight of this day, something happened. Perhaps because of the recent spring breeze, Wu Hou was very arrogant, and in Jinling City, he actually had a conflict with Zhou Ye and Zhou Hongzuo brothers. At that time, Yang Lian started beating people, and Zhou Hongzuo was forced to fight back, but he was not Yang Lian's opponent, and he was beaten and retreated.

Zhou Ye made a timely move, but even with his help, it was only a draw, and the brawl on the street attracted the patrolling soldiers, and the general led by Chen Keyan stepped forward to comfort, but was slapped in the face by Yang Lian, and immediately half of his face turned red.

Doesn't this give Chen Keyan face? Even if his identity is not as good as Yang Lian, he is not beaten casually. Chen Keyan was furious, but he still tried his best to control his emotions. After beating someone, Yang Lian swaggered away.

Zhou Hongzuo was beaten a few times, his eyes were swollen, and when he saw Yang Lian leaving, he couldn't help but scold: "Shaft, I will take revenge for this revenge!" ”

Zhou Ye's injuries were slightly lighter, but he was also dissatisfied, and his brother's face was lost.

Chen Keyan touched his face and said, "Two generals, what's going on?" ”

Zhou Ye arched his hand very apologetically, and said, "Speaking of which, it's just a trivial matter, but who can know that this Yang Lian actually beat me on the street by virtue of his special identity." ”

Chen Keyan shook his hand, snorted coldly, and looked at Yang Lian's departing back with a cold gaze.

The three of them were silent for a while, and when they met, they went to the restaurant to drink.

Li Hongji had already sent people to pay attention to Yang Lian's actions, Yang Lian was doing things with people on the street, Li Hongji soon got the news, knowing that when the three of them borrowed wine in the restaurant to drown their sorrows, Li Hongji knew that the opportunity was coming.

Since the three of them have some conflicts with Yang Lian, it proves that the relationship between these three people and Yang Lian is very ordinary, otherwise such a thing would never have happened. Especially the brothers Zhou Ye and Zhou Hongzuo, who took refuge in him earlier, Li Hongji just felt that his loyalty still needed to be investigated, so he always left the two brothers.

As for Chen Keyan, Li Hongji deliberately pulled Chen Dongshen on, both of them are from Changzhou, they are distant relatives, and with Chen Dongshen here, it will be much easier to say.

When Li Hongji arrived, the three of them were drinking stuffy wine, Li Hongji and Chen Dongshen glanced at each other, Li Hongji pretended to be a coincidence, smiled, and said, "Ah, several generals are dining here?" ”

"I've seen King Yan." Zhou Hongzuo arched his hand.

Zhou Ye and Chen Keyan also hurriedly stood up and said, "King Yan, please come here." ”

"Hehe, this king heard that the food in this restaurant is good, so he came to take a look, and he didn't expect to meet a few generals here." Li Hongji briefly explained what had happened, he didn't want the three of them to know, it was his intention.

"Since King Yan hasn't eaten yet, I won't bother you when I wait." Zhou Ye said.

Li Hongji reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance, since you meet the three generals here, how about together?" As he spoke, he looked at the three of them with blazing eyes.

Chen Keyan hesitated for a moment and said, "King Yan, please!" ”

"Okay, then the king will bother." Li Hongji said and walked over.

Chen Dongshen followed behind, pacing slowly, and when he saw Chen Keyan, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Keyan, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Chen Keyan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Uncle, are you here too?" Please forgive my nephew for not seeing it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, King Yan is about to leave Beijing, I'm just going to accompany King Yan to eat something and be nostalgic for the prosperity of Jinling." Chen Dongshen said.

Chen Keyan gave up a seat for Chen Dongshen to sit on, and after Chen Dongshen sat down, he was shocked when he saw Zhou Hongzuo, and said, "General Zhou, what's wrong with your face?" ”

If there is, it's not good to let King Yan ask, so Chen Dongshen asked it as an introduction,

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be silent, they were beaten by Wu Hou, this matter is not easy to say.

Li Hongji's face was a little solemn, and he said: "The three-dimensional general is like this, could it be that there is something unspeakable?" Lone is thinking, can the three generals be injured at the same time, isn't it the father? ”

Chen Dong said cautiously: "But I haven't heard any news in the palace. ”

Li Hongji and Chen Dongshen guessed one by one, pretending not to know anything about this matter, and it also involved Li Jing, the son of heaven.

Chen Keyan frowned, he must not let them put this hat on the head of the Son of Heaven, so that no one can suffer the sin. Chen Keyan sighed and said, "King Yan, it's not Your Majesty. ”

"No, who is the father? In this Jinling, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who still has the audacity to beat the officials of the imperial court, especially the generals of the Praetorian Guard? Li Hongji continued to pretend to be puzzled and asked. Li Hongji and Chen Dongshen guessed one by one, pretending not to know anything about this matter, and it also involved Li Jing, the son of heaven.
