Chapter Seventy-Five: Refusing to Give Up

In Dali Temple, Yang Lian had woken up and was talking to Zeng Yiling. Xiao Yan had already cooked rice porridge, and Zeng Yiling wanted to talk to Yang Lian, so he took the rice porridge and fed Yang Lian porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Xiao Yan secretly glanced at it twice, and felt that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

In the room, Yang Lian frowned and said, "After thinking about it, I feel that this matter is a little strange. ”

"What's the oddity? The assassin was naturally sent by Li Hongji. Otherwise, why are Princess Huairou and King Qi so angry? Zeng Yiling said.

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "That assassin, it is not easy to pretend to be someone we are familiar with, I always feel that although Li Hongji has an enmity with me, he also wishes that I would die, but he is too simple from this method." ”

"Sometimes, simplicity is often the most effective." Zeng Yiling said lightly, but his eyes were full of joy: "If you are safe and sound, then it is best." I have already asked the doctor, as long as I rest for more than ten days, my body will recover most of the time. ”

"It's a blessing in disguise." Yang Lian nodded, the moment he was poisoned, he almost thought he was going to die.

"No, in fact, there is still a chance, a chance to fight back against Li Hongji, as long as the timing is right, even if Li Hongji is still alive, his power will be greatly weakened." Zeng Yiling said.

Yang Lian glanced at him in surprise and said, "Are you so sure?" ”

"Definitely!" Zeng Yiling seemed very confident.

Yang Lian hesitated slightly, and said, "I heard you say this, why do you seem to have some secrets?" ”

"You and I are allies, what secrets can there be." Zeng Yiling shook her head.

Yang Lian didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "That's too, since you and I are allies, we should share the news." ”

Zeng Yiling no longer spoke, but fed Yang Lian rice porridge, with a smile in his eyes. The two chatted about things while eating, and before they knew it, they were approaching. Zeng Yiling naturally couldn't stay for long, so he stood up and left. Xiao Yan knew that she was Yang Lian's family and sent someone to escort her back to the inn.

Yang Lian slept peacefully all night, woke up early the next day, insisted on getting up, and slowly paced in Dali Temple. When Han Chongde came in, he saw Yang Lian sitting in the pavilion, so he walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Is Yang Jiedu good?" ”

"The blessing of the master book of Tohan is now no longer in trouble. It's just that I can't seem to use my strength. Yang Lian smiled.

"That's natural, it's normal for you to lose too much blood yesterday and be sleepy and tired, and it would be good to rest for a few more days." Han Chongde said with a smile, and then instructed the little official behind him to go to the street to buy some food. The little official responded and hurried out.

"This time, how long did Master Han invite a doctor to come to treat him in time, otherwise my life would not be guaranteed." Yang Lian thanked him.

Han Chongde said quietly: "Yang Jiedu has a bright future, and with Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others, they are all friends of eight worships, and I, Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie are both from Fujian, so this little favor is naturally busy." It's just that I'm just a little master, and I'll ask Yang Jiedu to help me in the future. ”

Yang Lian said with a smile: "Master Han is kind to me, if he is sent in the future, he will definitely go all out." ”

"Yang Jiedu is serious." Han Chongde smiled.

At this time, hurried footsteps sounded, and the person who came was Lin Renzhao, only to hear him laughing and approaching, and when he arrived at Yang Lian's side, he arched his hand and said, "Yang Jiedu, there is a good thing." ”

"A good thing? Tell me about it. Yang Lian said.

Lin Renzhao glanced at Han Chongde and said with a smile: "Last night, Princess Huairou was furious and went to find Li Hongji's bad luck, and finally King Qi arrived in time and entered the palace together to face the saint. Go to Runzhou to take up a post. ”

"Is that really the case with the Son of Heaven?" Yang Lian couldn't help but repeat it, and couldn't help but think of Zeng Yiling's words, yesterday he thought Zeng Yiling was joking, but he didn't expect it to become a fact today.

"That's it. King Qi has sent someone to inform me. Let me tell Yang Jiedu. Lin Renzhao said, and told the story one by one.

Yang Lian calculated the time, when King Qi, King Yan and Princess Huairou faced the saint, he was talking to Zeng Yiling, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, when did Zeng Yiling meet the unknown prophet? Besides, Li Jing hurriedly let Li Hongji go out of Beijing, this decision seems to be too hasty. Although Li Hongji is suspected of killing himself, after all, Yang Lian and his entourage did not have any evidence, and the conflict with Princess Huairou and others was calculated as fifty boards each, why did Li Jing let him leave Beijing immediately?

Yang Lian couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he didn't think about it anymore, there will always be opportunities in the future. Besides, Li Hongji's departure from the capital is an excellent opportunity for Yang Lian. Without political enemies, Yang Lian can have a lot of time to do a lot of things.

It was almost noon, Gao Ze came over with the holy decree, Yang Lian was acquitted and could go home immediately, and in addition, Li Jing rewarded Yang Lian with a hundred taels of silver in order to compensate. Han Chongde immediately sent someone to send Yang Lian back to the inn. Back at the inn, Fu Jinzhan, Zeng Yiling, and Zhang Qili were very happy to see Yang Lian coming back, especially Zhang Qili, who didn't know how to defend men and women, took Yang Lian's hand and looked left and right, as if Yang Lian was missing a piece of meat.

Yang Lian's return injected a trace of vitality into the inn, the original dull atmosphere was swept away, Wang Hu also went to buy a firecracker, lit it at the gate, and suddenly crackled, the door of the inn was lively, and those who knew the news rushed to congratulate him.

Just when the inn was lively, in the palace, Princess Huairou went to see Queen Zhong as promised. Princess Huairou's mother died early, so Queen Zhong regarded Princess Huairou as her own and came to her to ask about something.

After lunch, Empress Zhong thought about it and asked, "Huairou, my aunt has something she wants to ask you, you have to answer honestly." ”

Princess Huairou nodded and said, "Auntie, excuse me." ”

Empress Zhong was slightly silent and asked, "Huairou, do you really have to marry that Yang Lian?" ”

"Auntie, why are you asking this?" After all, she is a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet, Princess Huairou couldn't help but twist a little when she heard this, and she was very embarrassed.

"When my aunt asks you, she naturally has a deep meaning. Do you know that Yang Lian has a wife who is married to him. "Empress Zhong is very serious.

Princess Huairou nodded and said, "I know about this matter, Yang Lian told me." ”

"Hmm!" Empress Zhong suddenly thought, this Yang Lian is quite honest, she didn't hide it, and it should be excellent to be a husband in the future, but after all, there is an existence of Zeng Yiling, which makes Queen Zhong a little unhappy in her heart.

"In this way, Yang Lian has a wife, you can't marry him." Queen Zhong is in color.

"Why not?" Princess Huairou was anxious.

Empress Zhong sighed and said, "Then Yang Lian has a wife, but he received the holy decree to marry you, this is a bully." The Son of Heaven is merciful, so you don't have to worry about these things with him, but you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, how can you marry and be a child? Not only does your father disagree, but even I won't. ”

Princess Huairou pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.

"If Yang Lian is willing to give up Zeng Yiling, it will be fine, but he is still reluctant. Tell me, you have passed, with your identity, can you let a fireworks woman press? Empress Zhong said again, explaining her.

Princess Huairou snorted twice and said, "I don't care, I just want to marry him." My uncle's decree has been made, can I not repent of it? No jokes! ”

"You kid, why don't you know what to do, this is also for your good!" Empress Zhong said.

"As long as Yang Lian is good to me, that's enough. What's the use of other titles? Princess Huairou was angry, and after saying this, she stood up and left in a hurry, no matter what Queen Zhong called, she didn't listen, so she had to sigh. This matter is difficult to do, Princess Huairou is a stubborn person, and the nine cows can't be pulled back.

In Yanwang's Mansion, Li Hongji was drinking stuffy wine. He was in a very unhappy mood. This time, he single-handedly planned the action against Yang Lian, and originally thought that Yang Lian would be unlucky, but this was not the case. He has received news that his father has pardoned Yang Lian for his innocence.

Li Hongji couldn't figure it out, Yang Lian was guilty of bullying the king, but his father didn't punish him, is there any reason for this? Moreover, being ordered to leave Beijing and guard Runzhou is equivalent to breaking away from the power center of the Tang Dynasty. Take the heir, take the heir! Originally, it seemed that there was a great hope of winning the heir, but now it is like a mirror and is not reliable at all.

The good situation collapsed, which was difficult for him to accept. But the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and there seems to be no chance of redemption at all. How can you not make Li Hongji sad?

borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, Li Hongji drank half a loud wine, and felt even more depressed. At this time, Zhu Lingyun hurriedly walked over and said, "King Yan, Prime Minister Sun is here." ”

"Prime Minister Sun? What did he come to do? Li Hongji snorted, a few drops of saliva came out of the corners of his mouth, and then he burped, and the wine was smoking.

Without waiting for Zhu Lingyun to answer, Sun Sheng had already come in, and when he saw Li Hongji like this, he immediately frowned, and stepped forward and said, "King Yan, why are you like this?" ”

"Hehe, my father ordered me to leave Beijing as soon as possible and rush to Runzhou to take office." Li Hongji said, feeling very sad in his heart.

Sun Sheng originally heard the rumors, but when he heard Li Hongji admit it, he couldn't help but be surprised, why did things suddenly come to such a point? He felt a little incredible, there were not too many loopholes in the various plans, even if there were, there were fatal places on Yang Lian's side, why didn't he see punishment? However, at this point, Sun Sheng will not investigate it first, because at this time, King Yan is already very decadent, and Sun Sheng feels that the most important thing now is to make King Yan cheer up again.

"King Yan, even if you leave Beijing and go to Runzhou, it is not without benefits." Sun Sheng said.

"The benefits? What are the benefits? I went to Runzhou, this Jinling, it was time for the King of Qi to cover the sky with one hand. Li Hongji shook his head.

"In this Jinling, there are still old ministers, who will never let the King of Qi succeed. King Yan, you guard Runzhou, you can take the opportunity to expand your power, actively grasp the power of the army, once the Beijing division changes, you can wave the army to attack the capital, the old ministers inside and outside to cater to it, you can take Jinling, help King Yan ascend the throne. Sun Sheng is not shocking, in fact, he knows very well what the consequences will be if King Qi ascends the throne, if there is really such a day, it is expected to sit still, it is better to take the initiative to seize the power of the Tang Dynasty.
