Li Jing listened to Song Qiqiu silently, Song Qiqiu is an old minister and an old man, he can be said to stomp his feet in the court, Jinling will be shocked by the existence of several shocks, Song Qiqiu and Han Xizai have always been at odds, Li Jing is also clear, at this time, Song Qiqiu came to impeach Han Xizai, and the purpose is very obvious.

Although he already had an idea in his heart, Li Jing did not rush to express his position, but listened to Song Qiqiu talk about things. Through Song Qiqiu's words, Li Jing had a new understanding, and some things that Xiao Yan didn't talk about came out of Song Qiqiu's mouth, which was even more vigilant.

Li Jing is a person who misses the old, but his other identity is the emperor, the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, Li Jing will not allow his courtiers to hurt his relatives no matter how old he misses, Xiao Yan's report has made Li Jing very angry, and Song Qiqiu's words added fuel to the fire, which made Li Jing extremely angry.

He couldn't have imagined that Han Xizai relied on his grace, and he just sang songs every night, and actually invited Taoist priests to come to the mansion to practice, and it was these Taoist priests who caused the fire in the Han Mansion and led to the case of witch Gu. Although Li Jing also believes, Han Xizai's approach has touched Li Jing's bottom line.

Witch Gu, Taoist practice, these two are connected, which makes Li Jing think very far-reaching, this Han Xizai is too bold, he must teach him a good lesson. Li Jing moved, he felt that it was necessary to strike at Han Xizai, kill the chicken to show the monkey, and look at the people in the court, do you dare to fight the party?

Song Qiqiu retreated, Li Jing thought about it for a long time, and personally drafted a holy decree to demote Han Xizai to join the army as a sergeant of Hezhou, and let him calm down first. As for the witch Gu case, Li Jing always felt that there were many doubts, so he had to sort them out first. Han Xizai was demoted, there must be many people jumping out, and at this time, it is time to discern.

When Yang Lian learned that Song Qiqiu rushed to the palace, he knew that the matter was half done, and the reason why it was half said was because Song Qiqiu had always been at odds with Han Xizai. But to completely defeat Han Xizai, it is far from enough to rely on a witch Gu case.

In the original plan, in addition to selecting Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, Li Hongji was also selected, which was to seal Li Hongji's mouth. Sure enough, when the news came, Li Hongji remained silent about it, because at this time, if he still had to defend Han Xizai, it would be really lacking in heart.

There was also news from the palace that Han Xizai was demoted to Hezhou. Song Qiqiu got the news, he was not reconciled at all, he wrote again, and contacted the officials of the Song Party department, wrote more than a dozen excerpts, chased and beat Han Xizai, and wanted to control Han Xizai to death.

Song Qiqiu's folds were like stones hitting the water, causing countless ripples again, and the court began to be lively again. At the court meeting, under the instruction of Song Qiqiu, Li Hongji and Han Xizai and others, the officials expressed their opinions and spoke one after another. Tomorrow, the one who said that this matter was strange, it must have been done by a missing Taoist priest, and it had nothing to do with the Han Sheren, but most of these words were speculation, and no evidence could be obtained.

Li Jing originally wanted to calm things down, but Song Qiqiu was like a wild dog, biting Han Xizai's fragrant meat and not letting go, which caused the court to be restless.

The Han Mansion, which was burned to ruins, simply built a few houses, and more tents were set up, but fortunately, the weather was still hot at this time, so there was no need to face the cold. However, Han Hee-jae's heart is obviously cold. He is very clear about the situation in the court these days, as a person in the authorities, Han Xizai does not have much right to speak, after all, these things have traces to follow, and he can't rely on them at all. And Xiao Yan, who has always been fair and upright, has no possibility of wronging him.

Although Han Xizai was not imprisoned in the prison, the Han Mansion had been strictly controlled, and Han Xizai's own actions were also strictly controlled.

Although Han Xizai couldn't get out, Li Hongji, Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi and others were still able to come in, and discussed countermeasures with Han Xizai from time to time. Everyone guessed for a long time, but they couldn't guess who the Taoist priest was instructing. Han Xizai once suspected that it was Song Qiqiu, but from all sides, Song Qiqiu was not the person behind the scenes, and the reason why he worked so hard was because he wanted to avenge Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu and others a few days ago.

Han Xizai didn't know that all this was planned by Yang Lian and Zeng Yiling, in this battle without gunpowder, Han Xizai, Song Qiqiu, and even Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, and Li Hongji, the Duke of Dongping, were all pawns of the two, and this battle, no matter who wins or loses, for Yang Lian, can profit.

The court was in turmoil, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Lian once again set off an offensive, this time from the people, gambling houses, restaurants, have become the battlefield of the common people Yang Lian, under his instruction, Zeng Yiling arranged reliable subordinates, spread rumors, saying that Han Xizai has a bad heart, and wants to curse the Tang royal family to cut off children and grandchildren.

Three people became tigers, there was one person to say, soon there were two people, three people, the words came to the mouths of the people, and they all gradually changed their taste, some people said that Han Xizai already had an antipathy, and was secretly contacting the Han people, preparing to defect when the Han people attacked the Tang Dynasty; Some people also said that Han Xizai contacted Wu Yueren, after all, Wu Yueren had just won a big victory and could attack Jinling at any time.

All of a sudden, in Jinling City, all kinds of rumors flew, and folk discussions also spread to the palace, and Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, once entered the palace and reported the matter to Li Jing.

Li Jing reacted quickly, and he quickly asked people to find out the source of the news, but the people sent by Zeng Yiling only appeared at the beginning, and then disappeared without a trace. Li Jing received extremely limited information, which made him suspect that Song Qiqiu had done it. But according to his understanding of Song Qiqiu, he felt that it was impossible, and the investigation also showed that this matter had nothing to do with Song Qiqiu.

Just when Li Jing was about to hesitate, news came from the border that Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor of the Han State, sent an envoy to come, intending to coexist peacefully with the Tang Dynasty and guard the borders. The Emperor of the Han State said this well, and anyone who has a certain understanding of the situation in the Central Plains knows that Liu Zhiyuan's Han State has just been established, and the foundation is not stable.

In particular, Du Chongwei, who was stationed in Weizhou, had a heavy army in his hands, which was a huge threat to the Han State, Du Chongwei was the brother-in-law of Shi Jingjiao of the Jin State, when the Khitans invaded, this person turned against him and surrendered to the Khitans, which led to the rapid collapse of the Jin Kingdom of Shi Chonggui, and the Khitans were later unbearable to be harassed by the people of the Central Plains, and because of the hot weather in the Central Plains, many Khitans were not adapted and were forced to withdraw from the Central Plains. Du Chongwei is still stationed in Weizhou, in his opinion, Liu Zhiyuan is just a general under Shi Jingjiao, how can he become an emperor?

In order to settle this controversy, which lasted for nearly half a month, Li Jing had to re-deal with Han Xizai's matter again, and after a few days of busyness, he finally exiled Han Xizai to Jianzhou, which was close to the old Fujian Kingdom, mountainous and barren, and for the Tang Dynasty, this was the only place where he could be exiled.

For Song Qiqiu, Han Xizai had already lost his official position, and exile to Jianzhou was a better result, so he stopped the pursuit, and Li Hongji, Sun Sheng and others could only accept this result. It was Yang Lian who felt a little surprised, Song Qiqiu's ability was really not small, and he actually forced Han Xizai to this point, and even Emperor Li Jing had to give in.

This time it can be said that Li Hongji's party was hit hard, and Han Xizai, who was the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, had to be exiled, and Yang Lian was in a good mood, so he went out on a cruise. In Jinling at the end of summer, the sun was still bad, and Yang Lian was invited to go out to play.

The inviter is the county lord of Huairou, since Yang Lian saved her again, the county lord of Huairou has come to Yang Lian from time to time, and Yang Lian also has the heart to have a good relationship with the king of Qi, so it is not easy to refuse the county lord of Huairou. When they arrived at the palace of the king of Qi, Yang Lian first went to meet the king of Qi, and the two chatted about the situation for a while, and they both felt that this time the envoys of the Han Kingdom came, most of them were valued by peace. As for the Khitans, their messengers don't know where they are, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

The two chatted for a while, and the county lord of Huairou was dressed in a red skirt and walked out slowly. Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned at a glance, the head of Huairou County is indeed not bad, there are still some baby fat round faces are cute and pretty, and their skin is better than snow, a normal man will be moved when he sees it.

The county lord of Huairou was stunned when he saw Yang Lian, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, two dimples were exposed, and his white teeth were shiny.

Yang Lian's distraction was only for a moment, after all, no matter how beautiful the county lord of Huairou was, it was still worse than Zhou Ehuang's beauty and Zeng Yiling's enchantment. The key is that the county lord of Huairou is a little younger, and his body has not fully grown, if he is a year or two older, he will become more feminine.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, did not object, maybe he also had the intention of wooing Yang Lian, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Huairou goes early and returns early, remember not to be rude and capricious." ”

The county lord of Huairou pursed his lips and said, "Father, is my daughter rude?" ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, smiled and said nothing, turned his head to look at Yang Lian, and said, "This king's daughter is rude and willful, you have to be tolerant." ”

Yang Lian had a smile on his face, but he was slandering in his heart: "This sounds like my father-in-law is telling my son-in-law." Thinking in his heart, he smiled and said, "The county lord is a kind person, how can he bully me?" ”

The county lord of Huairou snorted triumphantly and said, "Father, how could I bully him? ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, laughed and said, "It's not early, let's go quickly." ”

Yang Lian bowed to him, and the county lord of Huairou also walked out of the door. Li Jingsui squinted his eyes, looked at the backs of the two leaving, stroked his beard and thought, Yang Lian is a worthy object, and his daughter is also good to him, but I don't know if there is a child love in it?

Although Yang Lian is a little older, in these years, it is not a problem for men to be more than ten or twenty years older than women, the key is to like Huairou. Li Jingsui secretly thought in his heart that if his daughter was interested, Yang Lian would not refuse, and things would be okay.

It's just that in this matter, you can't be in a hurry, you always have to understand your daughter's mind before making a decision.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion, Yang Lian couldn't help but sigh, Li Jing handled it in a timely and skillful manner, and found a balance between the forces of all parties, Li Hongji, Sun Sheng and others were also satisfied with this result, after all
