Li Hongji saw that there was a play, and immediately told the matter, but in his mouth, things had changed slightly, it was he who saw through Yang Lian's misdeeds, so he found Zeng Yiling to ask about the matter, but was beaten by Yang Lian.

Li Jing didn't rush to express his position, and when Li Hongji finished speaking, he had a gloomy face and asked, "That's the way it is?" ”

Li Hongji couldn't figure out his father's attitude, so he nodded yes.

"King Yan, I know about this matter, you go back to rest first, I will let the imperial doctor show you, don't get hurt." Li Jing said.

Li Hongji stood up after giving the salute and said, "Father, Yang Lian despises the royal prestige, but he has to be the master of his son." ”

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter fairly." Li Jing waved his hand and motioned for Li Hongji to go out.

Li Hongji walked out, but he was a little unsure of his father's intentions, so after thinking about it, he went to find his mother.

In the imperial study, the sound of pacing sounded, Li Jing paced uneasily, he just wanted to entrust Yang Lian with a heavy responsibility, but unexpectedly this kind of thing happened, which made him doubt his judgment a little. In his impression, Yang Lian is a stable person, how could he do such a thing? This doesn't seem to fit Yang Lian's character quite well.

After thinking about it, Li Jing asked, "Gao Ze, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Gao Ze coughed and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks this matter is very strange. ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's so strange? Li Jing asked.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between King Qi and Yang Lian has always been good, and now he is willing to marry Huairou to Yang Lian, that is to say, King Qi knows Yang Lian well, if Yang Lian really has a wife, how can he marry Princess Huairou to a married man?" Gao Ze said, and at the same time looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing let out an "um" and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Furthermore, how did King Yan know? Now that he got the news, the old slave thought that he was going to come to ask His Majesty to withdraw the holy decree as soon as possible to avoid royal embarrassment, but he went to find Yang Lian, is there any secret? Gao Ze said slowly.

"This ......" Li Jing muttered and didn't speak, but he felt that Gao Ze's words had some truth.

"These are all the speculations of the old slave, if Your Majesty wants to know the truth, I'm afraid you still have to find Yang Lian and ask." Gao Ze smiled.

"Hmm!" Li Jing nodded.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Yang Jiedu asks to see you." ”

"Yang Jiedu?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it was Yang Lian, and hurriedly said: "Xuan!" ”

Gao Ze said: "Your Majesty, the old slave went to bring him in." So saying, he stepped back. Soon took Yang Lian to step in and release.

"Weichen Yang Lian has seen Your Majesty." After Yang Lian came in, he saluted Li Jing.

"Yang Aiqing is exempt." Li Jing said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare." Yang Lian shook his head.

"Oh? Why are you doing that? Li Jing asked, even though he had already guessed the reason why Yang Lian wanted to see him.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is guilty. And the sin is not small. Yang Lian stood with his hands down, looking trembling.

Li Jing tapped lightly on the desk and asked, "Yang Aiqing said with a smile, this time you have made great contributions in the Han Kingdom, and I still feel that the reward is not enough, and you say this, but it makes me embarrassed." ”

"Your Majesty, the sin of Weichen is the sin of defrauding the king." Yang Lian shook his head.

"The crime of deceit?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, when Weichen was not born, he had a fiancée named Zeng Yiling. When I was young, I had no guesses with her. It's a pity that because of the war, they were separated for more than ten years, and Weichen originally thought that he would never find her again, but unexpectedly, just yesterday, someone told me that Zeng Yiling was robbed into the mansion by King Yan. ”

After a pause, Yang Lian gave Li Jing time to react, and said: "King Yan wants to take Zeng Yiling as a concubine, Weichen learned about it, so he rushed to King Yan's mansion to recognize him, and sure enough, he found out that it was his fiancée, so he decided to rescue his wife. ”

Yang Lian saw the matter and told the matter.

Gao Ze asked on the side: "So, General Yang also just learned the whereabouts of his fiancée?" ”

"Exactly, Zeng Yiling was forced by life to beg for a living in a brothel, doing something that was not a sell-by-the-art thing, but he didn't expect to be favored by King Yan, and there were so many turmoil." Yang Lian said again, and at the same time deliberately ordered Zeng Yiling's identity, she was a fireworks woman in a brothel.

Sure enough, Li Jing's face changed when he heard this, he is the proud son of heaven, King Yan is the prince, and his status is noble, what woman can't find it? Although he has not married a wife in the past few years, Li Jing has been looking for a good daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable and reasonable, originally this candidate was to be selected among the ministers and important ministers, but he never imagined that King Yan would actually take a fancy to a woman in the land of fireworks, wouldn't it be a loss of royal face? If the ministers of the court and the central government knew, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?

Gao Ze bowed slightly and did not speak.

Yang Lian said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen accepted His Majesty's marriage gift when he had a fiancée, which is a big crime of bullying the king, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime." What Yang Lian said was just a big mouth, but he didn't care about beating Li Hongji.

Li Jing snorted coldly, King Yan cried just now, Li Jing was still a little unconvinced, but at this time Yang Lian had already admitted that although there were some differences in things, there was no way to escape from bullying and beating King Yan. He cherishes Yang Lian as a talent, but these two major crimes are both to be killed, which makes him embarrassed for a while.

Yang Lian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has done something wrong, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you." ”

"Reprimand? How do you want me to punish me? Kill you? Li Jing snorted coldly and looked at Yang Lian sharply. In any case, beating King Yan is a big deal, and it is impossible for Li Jing to expose this matter. Otherwise, how can the royal family explain?

"Wechen should be damned." Yang Lian said.

Li Jing glared at Yang Lian fiercely and shouted, "You go back to the house first and wait for my disposal." ”

Yang Lian arched his hand, saluted again, and retreated.

Li Jing paced a few steps, shook his head and sighed, and said, "Shaft, don't teach." "I don't know if you're talking about Yang Lian or Li Hongji?

Gao Ze followed behind, worried about Yang Lian in his heart, but he knew that at this time, it was not good to help Yang Lian speak, so he had to follow behind him sullenly.

Li Jing thought about it again and again, and felt that his heart was a little chaotic, so he walked out of the imperial study. At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the sun is shining on the body, which is extremely comfortable. Li Jing slowly paced in the yard, enjoying it. After half a sound, he asked, "Gao Ze, this matter really gives me a headache." ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Lian is guilty of bullying the king, and he even beat King Yan, he also admitted this, the old slave thinks that he should be punished." Gao Ze said.

"Punishment? Did he really cut off his head? Li Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"This, according to the law, is naturally to be beheaded, but Your Majesty is merciful, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. It is okay for His Majesty to punish him, deprive him of his official position, and demote him to a commoner. When Gao Ze said this, he observed the expression of the Son of Heaven with his peripheral eyes.

Li Jing did not speak, and never made a decision.

Yanwang Mansion, Li Hongji has returned home. After leaving the imperial study, he went to find Queen Zhong and cried again, wanting to impress his mother with family affection and win greater benefits. When Queen Zhong saw her son being injured, she was naturally distressed, and she was comforted by kind words. When she knew that it was Yang Lian, she was also a little hesitant in her heart, so she had to let Li Hongji go back to the house first, and he would naturally discuss this matter with the Son of Heaven.

Li Hongji had just returned home, and Zhu Lingyun hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Sun asks to see you." ”

"Just in time." Li Hongji thought in his heart, and hurried to the hall to see Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng came here, looking worried, he learned this morning that His Majesty had made a holy decree to marry Princess Huairou to Yang Lian, the relationship between King Qi and Yang Lian was already close, and now that he has become Weng's son-in-law, the relationship is naturally closer. As a political enemy, this is what Sun Sheng does not want to see, but unfortunately the holy decree has been issued, and there is absolutely no room for recovery.

So, in the face of King Qi and Yang Lian, Sun Sheng, Han Xizai, Yan Wang and others, what will they do? Now the king of Qi is named the emperor's younger brother, is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, once the son of heaven is a hundred years old, the king of Qi can be justified and inherit the throne. Political struggles are often more brutal than war, because on the battlefield, there are still opportunities to dodge. But the political struggle is unpredictable, and who knows when the enemy will suddenly attack? Once King Qi ascends the throne, King Yan's life will inevitably be difficult, and he may even be killed, and Sun Sheng, Han Xizai and others, who supported King Yan at the beginning, will inevitably end up tragically.

Sun Sheng saw it very clearly and thought very clearly, so after dealing with government affairs in the morning, he immediately came to discuss things with King Yan.

As soon as King Yan came in, Sun Sheng was stunned, because King Yan was very embarrassed at this time, the robe on his body was very dirty, and there were scars on his face, Sun Sheng couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said, "King Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Hongji was also about to discuss with Sun Sheng how to deal with Yang Lian, and immediately told the matter again, which was consistent with what he had said to his father, Li Jing.

Sun Sheng was worried that he couldn't find a chance to deal with Yang Lian, so he immediately slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Yang Lian's crime of bullying the king and beating King Yan again, now the evidence is ironclad, enough to put him in prison." ”

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "I have already told my father about this matter, but my father did not express it. ”

"King Yan is not in a hurry, although Yang Lian is rude, but after all, he is the second-rank minister of the court. After all, there is no hurry, presumably because I don't want to startle the snake. But he must not be allowed to escape. The old man's meaning is to ask Dali Temple to arrest people. Sun Sheng smiled.

"Dali Temple?" Li Hongji asked.

"King Yan, Dali Temple is in charge of Xiao Yan, this person is fair, not afraid of power, let him catch Yang Lian, is the best candidate." Sun Sheng clenched his fists, he was really lucky, just when he wanted to sleep, someone brought a pillow, how could he not make him happy.

Li Hongji nodded, Dali Siqing Xiao Yan had the impression that this person had offended his father, it can be seen that he is a hard bone, let him catch Yang Lian, that is the best. Thinking of this, Li Hongji hurriedly said: "Okay, just do it." Lonely, I went to Dali Temple to find Xiao Yan. ”

"The old man will go too." Sun Sheng naturally refused to let go of this opportunity and said busily.

"Let's go!" Li Hongji was overjoyed, and his words became simpler, and the two immediately left Yanwang's Mansion and ran towards Dali Temple. (To be continued.) )
