Chapter 65: The Storm Rises
When Yang Lian heard this, he was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that Princess Huairou would say such a thing, seeing her head lowered and a shy look, where is there still the way it used to be?
Princess Huairou saw Yang Lian in a daze, stomped her feet, and said angrily: "What, aren't you still satisfied?" ”
Yang Lian frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Huairou, I have something to say to you in private." ”
"Just the two of us? What are you doing? Princess Huairou was startled and asked.
"It's a bit complicated, you listen to me first." Yang Lian was a little helpless, if it was just Zeng Yiling, then it would be fine, the problem is that there is also Fu Jinzhan , Princess Huairou must be unhappy when she knows it. Moreover, now that he is facing Li Hongji's accusations, there will be no less.
Princess Huairou looked at Yang Lian, saw that his eyes were clear, thought about it, and nodded in agreement. The two entered the room, Yang Lian sighed, and told her carefully what happened in the north of the Han Kingdom this time, but Yang Lian kept silent about the identity of Fu Jinzhan and only said that it was a poor woman who felt that she was homeless, so she brought it back to Jinling.
Sure enough, when Princess Huairou heard that Yang Lian had brought a woman, her pretty face suddenly darkened, a Zeng Yiling she could accept, after all, it was Yang Lian's wife, but Miss Fu was different, Princess Huairou couldn't accept it.
Yang Lian saw her expression like this, and it was no exception. After all, Huairou is the identity of a princess, a member of the royal family, where would she allow her husband to have three wives and four concubines? Even in this era of male superiority and inferiority, it is not possible.
Princess Huairou didn't look over, she was very angry, but she didn't know what to do, hit Yang Lian? Now that this man occupies most of her heart, how can she be reluctant? This kind of emotion is quite complicated, so she doesn't know how to choose for a while.
Yang Lian moved over her shoulders and looked at her face carefully, her face still looked a little baby fat, and her round face was full of tears, which was pitiful. Yang Lian's emotions are also a little complicated, maybe it is because of the long-term love, but now Huairou has a clear attitude, and seeing her appearance again, Yang Lian feels pity in her heart.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, but it's true, and there's no way I'm going to abandon any of them." Yang Lian reiterated again, indicating his position, but the conversation changed for a while, and said: "Huairou, don't worry, I will also be good to you, they are also good people, and they will also be good to you." I will never let you suffer any grievances. ”
Princess Huairou listened, pursed her lips and kept silent, but her eyes rolled, and she seemed to move.
Yang Lian smiled bitterly at this time and said, "Perhaps, this is just my fantasy." If I offended King Yan today, and even injured him, Your Majesty's side will definitely punish me severely. Maybe you'll be beheaded. ”
When Princess Huairou heard this, she immediately became anxious and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, uncle dares to do it, I'm not done with him." At this time, Princess Huairou showed his fierce side.
"I'm afraid that at this time, King Yan has already complained to His Majesty." Yang Lian shook his head.
Princess Huairou snorted coldly and said, "I'll go to my uncle." With that, he hurried out.
Yang Lian hurriedly grabbed her and said softly, "Don't, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
"Why?" Princess Huairou turned her head and stared at Yang Lian with big eyes, with a puzzled expression.
Yang Lian coughed and said, "In short, this matter can't be too urgent, I have already made it clear to King Qi, if it is possible, you can discuss it with King Qi." ”
Princess Huairou flattened her mouth, thought for a while, and said, "Yang Lian, what do you think of this?" I'll go find my aunt first. ”
"That's fine." Yang Lian nodded.
said to go, Princess Huairou was in a hurry, and immediately entered the palace.
Yang Lian walked out of the Qi Palace, and went back to the inn first.
Yan King Li Hongji returned to the house, he was very depressed, he fought today, not to mention the loss, and was whipped a few times by Princess Huairou. Zhu Lingyun followed behind him, equally depressed, and there were still a few residual blood marks on his face.
"King Yan, this matter must not be left like this." Zhu Lingyun said hatefully.
Li Hongji touched his face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Of course, you can't just forget it." ”
"King Yan, now it has been confirmed that Yang Lian has a marriage contract with Zeng Yiling, but he has accepted His Majesty's marriage, how can a princess marry Yang Lian as a concubine? Yang Lian is a bully, and King Yan can start from here. Zhu Lingyun said.
Li Hongji nodded and said, "I am prepared for this matter. Saying that, after thinking about it, he immediately asked people to bring the war horse, and did not sort out the blood stains on his body, and immediately entered the palace to see his father, Li Jing.
Along the way, it took half an hour to arrive at the imperial city, and I happened to see King Qi come out, and the two were stunned when they met.
Li Hongji snorted coldly and didn't look at his uncle, after all, Li Jingsui and Yang Lian are both raccoon dogs, where will Li Hongji give them face. Li Jingsui didn't care, glanced at Li Hongji slowly, and said with a smile: "King Yan, what's going on with your face?" Didn't you get caught by that woman? ”
Li Hongji was whipped in the face with a leather whip and broke his skin, looking a bit like he was caught by a woman. Li Hongji snorted coldly at Li Jingsui's ridicule, he naturally wouldn't say that this was beaten by Princess Huairou, what a shame.
Li Hongji left in a hurry, and Li Jingsui looked at his distant back, thinking that he was one step earlier.
Li Hongji entered the palace city, asked Li Jing clearly in the imperial study, and ran directly over. Li Jing was flipping through the folds, and the weather was getting warmer, which seemed to be a good thing, but there were also bad things. The melting of ice and snow in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will have a great impact, and if it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River will definitely suffer from flooding.
Moreover, the Huai River in the north is also very prone to floods due to soil quality and landform and other reasons, and the imperial court will allocate a lot of money to maintain the Yangtze River and Huai River every year, but in the face of natural disasters, the manpower is too weak, and the annual loss is not small, which makes Li Jing very headache.
Now it's summer, and it's the season to send water, how can you not make Li Jing nervous? Gao Ze saw that the emperor was pondering, so he made tea for him and sent it to the side of the desk.
"Gao Ze, Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Hai and Chu, wants to sue the old man and return to his hometown, what is your opinion?" Li Jing couldn't help but ask. Liu Yanzhen has guarded Haichu and Chu Prefectures for so many years, and the north has never gone south, no matter what, he has always been meritorious, so if he is let go, Li Jing is a little reluctant.
Gao Ze arched his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how can the slaves and maids understand these important affairs of the court." ”
Li Jing put down the fold and said, "Don't worry. You've been following me for years, and I know what kind of person you are, just to hear what you think. ”
Gao Ze thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Haichu and Haichu are important towns in the north, and they have always been heavily guarded, although they have signed a contract with the Han State now, but after all, it is a paper covenant, and the example of the former dynasty Shi Zhonggui shows that the Shatuo people are not trustworthy." Moreover, in the past few years, the north has not been more stable than the south, the north has become chaotic and the city has changed, yesterday's surname is Shi, today's surname is Liu, who knows what tomorrow's surname will be. The two states of Haichu must be able to sit in the town, so that they can protect the northern barrier. ”
Li Jing saw that what he said made some sense, and said with a smile: "In this way, who do you think will be able to guard Haichu and Chu after Liu Yanzhen is old?" ”
"This is a major event in the court, and the slaves and maids dare not speak falsely." Gao Zedao.
Li Jing laughed, thought about it, and said: "After thinking about it, I think that a person is in line, Yang Lian made a great contribution to the Han Dynasty this time, and the two countries signed a trade agreement, and the two states of Haichu as a border are one of the important places for trade, I thought, if Yang Lian came to preside over the trade, it would be much better." ”
Gao Ze smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Lian is a talent, he should be able to complete His Majesty's tasks, and His Majesty really knows how to know people." ”
"I have already appointed him as the envoy of the festival, if he still stays in Beijing, it will not be good, it just so happens that Liu Yanzhen is going to return to his hometown, and he is about to let Yang Lian fill this vacancy, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." Li Jing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise." Gao Ze quietly complimented.
At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the anxious shouts of the little eunuch: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is handling government affairs, please wait a while." ”
"Get out of the way, you have something to see Your Majesty, do you dare to stop it?" Then came the voice of Yan King Li Hongji, with anger and murderous aura in his voice.
"Your Highness, you can't ...... like this" The little eunuch was about to cry, with helplessness in his voice.
", I'll kill you if you don't leave." After Li Hongji said viciously, he turned around and left.
Li Jing frowned and said, "Gao Ze, go out and take a look, what's going on?" ”
Gao Ze answered and walked out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the door was knocked open, and Li Hongji hurriedly walked in, almost knocking Gao Ze to the ground. Li Hongji didn't stop, hurriedly walked to Li Jing's side, bowed down, and said in a rough voice: "Erchen has seen my father." ”
Li Jing's eyelids raised slightly, and said, "King Yan, what's the matter with you, so anxious?" ”
Gao Ze stood up, paced over slowly, with a trace of resentment in his eyes, glared at Li Hongji fiercely, and then stood behind Li Jing.
"Father, you have to be the master of your sons." Li Hongji said, with a crying tone in his voice.
Li Jing frowned, the eldest son is no longer small, and as a man, he almost cried, is this still like a man? At the moment, he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but no matter what, Li Hongji was his son after all, and Li Jing needed to listen to what he said.
"Father, Yang Lian is a courtier, but he started beating me, father, look!" Li Hongji said, raised his head, and the blood marks on his face that were drawn out by the leather whip were still there, and some places had already scarred, which looked a little scary.
"Yang Lian started beating you? Why is that? Li Jing frowned and asked.
"Father, the son found out that Yang Lian already had a wife, but he still accepted his father's marriage, and after the son found out, he asked him to reason, but he was beaten by him." Li Hongji said.
Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Lian already has a wife? If so, wouldn't the marriage with Huairou become a laughing stock? What's more, he personally decreed the marriage, how could the Son of Heaven easily change his promise? Li Jing couldn't help but stand up and said, "King Yan, what's going on here, you can tell me carefully." (To be continued.) )
