Chapter 69: Confronting the study

Li Jing only left Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, as well as Yang Lian, Xiao Yan and others for a purpose. Li Jing, the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, suddenly changed his decision, and only let a small number of courtiers know about it.

After everyone came in, the huge study suddenly became a little crowded, and Li Hongji glanced at Yang Lian with a smug look on his face. Xiao Yan was on the side, clenching his fists, no one knew what he wanted to do.

Li Jingsui's face was covered with sweat, and he knew that the situation today was extremely bad, because the situation in the tomb of the old prince of the former dynasty in Yingzhou could not be explained. Yang Lian was on the side, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was indifferent to the matter of poison.

After Li Jing saw that everyone had arrived, he glanced at everyone majestically, and then said: "Today's incident is really beyond my expectations, and after thinking about it, this matter must be thoroughly investigated." ”

Li Hongji echoed and said: "Father is wise, this matter must indeed be thoroughly investigated, and those who intend to subvert the society must not be allowed to go unpunished. ”

Li Jing looked at King Qi, this matter pointed to Yang Lian, or King Yan pointed to Yang Lian, as his quasi-father-in-law, Li Jing always had to take into account King Qi's feelings. Li Jingsui arched his hand and said: "Brother Huang, Jiangshan Sheji is greater than everything, as Hongji said, it is necessary to investigate thoroughly, but it must not wronged anyone, of course, if someone frames the blame, he will not be spared." ”

Li Hongji's expression was very cold, he knew what King Qi said, only the last half of the sentence was what he said in his heart, seeing his father nodding, Li Hongji said: "Father, there is only one possibility that the son can think of at this time." ”

"What is possible?" Li Jing asked.

Li Hongji raised his hand suddenly, pointed at Yang Lian, and shouted: "Father, the bones of the old prince of the previous dynasty are missing, which is enough to prove that he is not dead, and now this person has changed his appearance, and in this room, it is he who wants to subvert the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Jingsui shouted: "King Yan, what evidence do you have?" ”

"Hey, the evidence? Naturally, there is. Li Hongji smiled, looking very sure.

Yang Lian took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, what King Yan said is that if someone wants to subvert the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally be severely punished. ”

Li Hongji glanced at Yang Lian, thinking that you can pretend, obviously you want to subvert the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing was obviously also stunned, from various channels he knew that it was Yang Lian who was impeached by the courtiers, didn't he know about Yang Lian at all?

Xiao Yan was on the side and shouted: "Yang Lian, you are pretending to be confused, you are the one who intends to subvert the Tang Dynasty." ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Jing as if seeking verification, saw that he was silent, and then looked at King Qi, and saw that he was also looking at himself a little nervously, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why?" Is it because Weichen has the same name as the old prince of the previous dynasty? ”

Li Jing didn't speak, just waiting to see what happened.

Xiao Yan shouted: "Isn't it that you can still be someone else?" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "Xiao Siqing and I are also grounded at home, but you know a lot of news." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, snorted coldly, and said, "Yang Lian, you pretend not to know and want to hide from Your Majesty, but everyone in the world is watching, and your conspiracy will definitely not succeed." ”

Yang Lian pursed his lips and said, "You mean that Your Majesty was deceived by others, and you can see clearly, isn't Your Majesty as wise as you?" ”

Xiao Yan's face turned red, and he suddenly understood that he had lost his words, and was grabbed by Yang Lian, Li Hongji glared at him, and spoke slowly.

"Yang Lian, although you are a little different from the old prince of the previous dynasty, you are about the same size. I've heard that there is a folk art of disguise, maybe you know it. Li Hongji squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Lian, trying to find a flaw in his face.

Yang Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty thinks the same?" ”

Li Jing was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Yang Aiqing, I don't believe it, but I'm afraid the folk rumors are a little strange, and we have to figure it out." Yang Aiqing, if you are open, you are naturally not afraid. ”

Yang Lian asked, "In that case, how can Weichen prove it?" "Yang Lian has long said that he is an immigrant from Guanzhong, and he has traveled thousands of miles, and he is afraid that the familiar person is gone, so how can he prove his identity?

Li Hongji said: "It's very simple, one is to check whether there is any disappearance on your face." ”

"And what about two?" Yang Lian asked.

Li Hongji didn't answer, but said: "Let's pass the first hurdle first." ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "This is very good, please ask Your Majesty to send someone to verify it." ”

Li Jing pointed to Gao Ze on the side and said, "Gao Ze, you go and take a look." ”

Gao Ze took the order, stepped forward to Yang Lian's side, stretched out his hand, and took off the hairpin on Yang Lian's head, the long black hair fell, Gao Ze carefully inspected, and found that the scalp and skin were very tight, not like they were stained, and the hair was very clear.

Li Hongji was on the side and said: "If it is disguised, it must be different from the complexion, Gao Ze, you have to look carefully." ”

"Whoa." Gao Ze replied, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave observed the half-ring, and did not see anything suspicious. ”

Li Jing hadn't spoken yet, but Li Hongji said, "How is it possible?" As he spoke, he saluted Li Jing and said, "Father, the son wants to go up and inspect it in person." ”

"This ......," Li Jing hesitated.

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen is not afraid of shadows, King Yan, you have to check, just come over." ”

Li Hongji snorted coldly, stepped forward, and carefully observed Yang Lian's face, sure enough, as Gao Ze said, he couldn't see any clues, Li Hongji thought about it, stretched out his hand, and pulled Yang Lian's hair.

Yang Lian stretched out his hand, blocked him, and said, "King Yan, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Inspection, always try it yourself." Li Hongji said.

Yang Lian took a step back, sneered, and said, "King Yan, please respect yourself, why do your hands have a smell?" Could it be that I didn't wash my hands today? ”

Li Hongji's face turned red, Yang Lian's words were really hateful. Seeing that Yang Lian was about to speak, he hurriedly retreated, for fear that Yang Lian would say something not very good.

"King Yan, what have you found out?" Li Jing asked.

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

Li Jing and Li Jingsui were relieved when they heard this, but their minds were different.

What Li Jing thought was that if it weren't for Yang Lian, there would be one more capable minister in the Tang Dynasty, and as for the person who wanted to subvert Sheji, it would take some time to find out. Li Jingsui was thinking, if it wasn't Yang Lian, that would be enough.

Li Hongji saw that King Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and also smiled, and said, "Father, what does Your Majesty think of that suggestion from Weichen?" ”

Li Jing nodded, since it has come to this point, you might as well finish everything.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "King Qi, what other tricks do you have, just try it." ”

Li Jing said: "It's just that Hailing is still hundreds of miles away from here, and it will take two days at the fastest to find people." ”

"Father, don't worry, the son has already prepared." After Li Hongji finished speaking, he said to Gao Ze again: "Gao Ze, there is a person in the Lonely King's mansion, you bring him over." ”

Gao Ze didn't squeak, until the Son of Heaven ordered, he responded, took people out of the palace city, and went straight to King Yan's mansion.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Hongji said: "If you are not that Yang Lian, I will let you kill someone today, this person is the descendant of the Hailing Yang family, if you dare to kill, you will not be the old prince of the previous dynasty." ”

Yang Lian pursed his lips, he knew that Li Hongji had a bad stomach, but he didn't expect him to use this method to test it, and now there are only two choices in front of him, kill or not?

This time was very slow, but it was fast, everyone in the imperial study had their own thoughts, Li Jingsui frowned, pacing and thinking in the room, but Yang Lian still looked relaxed. Half an hour later, Gao Ze returned.

Gao Ze was holding a baby in his hand, it looked like it was only two or three months, and the hair on his head was very thin, and it was slightly yellow, which looked like malnutrition.

Li Hongji stepped forward, took the child from Gao Ze's arms, and said, "This child is the Hailing Yang family who was just born, Yang Lian, if you have nothing to do with Yang Wu, you will kill him." ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "I refuse!" ”

Li Hongji laughed and said, "If you don't kill it, it's the Hailing Yang clan." ”

Yang Lian saluted the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, this child is only a few days, what is his crime to kill him?" Weichen is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, the blade in his hand kills the enemy, kills the traitor, in the face of the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the baby, the woman and the child, Weichen can't do it. ”

Li Jing originally thought that Li Hongji was bringing a member of the Yang clan, at least an adult, but he didn't expect it to be a child, and not long after he was born, he had a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, this Yan King, who actually used a child to test, had exceeded Li Jing's bottom line.

Li Jingsui snorted coldly at this time and said, "Hongji, this child is so small, can you really do it?" ”

Yang Lian said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't kill this child, it was for Your Majesty's sake." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. Li Jing asked.

"Wechen killed the child today, of course, it is a gesture, and some people will point to Wechen's nose and scold, but after all, Wechen is moving in front of His Majesty, and he has the permission of His Majesty, if he really kills the child, some people will inevitably say that His Majesty is cruel, if those historians know, they are talking about His Majesty's violence, and even the infant child will be killed. For the sake of His Majesty, even if he dies, he can't kill this child. Yang Lian said, his expression was very sincere.

Li Jing was a little moved, although Yang Lian's words were suspected of flattering, but it was also a thing, those historians didn't care whether you were a Ming Jun or not, all the things that happened were recorded, and thousands of years later, some people naturally commented. Li Jing wants to be the king of Zhongxing in the Tang Dynasty, so he will go on the southern expedition to the north, and naturally he doesn't want to have such a disgraceful stroke in his martial arts.

More importantly, Li Jing was deeply influenced by Confucianism and deeply influenced by Buddhism, so he naturally did not want to kill. If King Yan brought an adult, Li Jing might still force Yang Lian to kill people, but now that he is a child, Li Jing is a little hesitant. (To be continued.) )
