Yang Lian returned to the house, comforted Fu Jinzhan and others with kind words, and then settled down and maintained his health in the house, now Yang Lian has opened a teahouse, a restaurant, and a gambling house, although the income is not much, but it is better than nothing, especially the gambling house, people and snakes are mixed, which is very conducive to spreading news, Yang Lian is planning to launch a wave of counterattacks on this matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiao Yan's exploration in Yingzhou must be true, and it is very likely that Li Hongji is the one who arranged all this, but the question is, what article does Li Hongji want to use him for? Because of this matter, the flaw is too big, as long as a little sensible person, it is easy to see the clues.

Now that he has been grounded, in other words, the credit for capturing Fuzhou is likely to be wiped out because of this matter, of course, Li Hongji's purpose is definitely more than that, Yang Lian wants to fight back, but now Li Hongji's goal is unknown, and Yang Lian can't prescribe the right medicine.

When Yang Lian was thinking, Zeng Yiling came, she already knew about Yang Lian, and after inquiring about it, she also fell into deep thought. Zeng Yiling couldn't detect any conspiracy of Li Hongji for a while, but she brought a piece of news.

A few days ago, someone heard the sound of digging tunnels in Yingzhou, and because there were people patrolling Yingzhou day and night, Zeng Yiling could only find out this.

From this, it can be judged that this tunnel is the so-called robbery hole, but the tunnel excavated a few years ago is obviously different from the tunnel excavated now, why can't Xiao Yan see it? This doesn't make sense. The two analyzed and imagined several possibilities, but they denied them one by one. Could it be that Xiao Yan has been bought? But both inside and outside the court knew that he had never participated in party struggles, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

When the two were talking, Li Xiongxin came in a hurry, and now, with the expansion of Yang Lian's power, Li Xiongxin's original dissatisfaction with Yang Lian has disappeared without a trace, but he wants to cling to Yang Lian.

Li Xiongxin has been in business for many years and is quite clever, Yang Lian let him manage the business, which is much stronger than the Laifu Inn that opened him, and his son Li Shu also studies seriously, and he has no appearance of the past at all, in this regard, Li Xiongxin has to thank Yang Lian.

Li Xiongxin looked anxious, and when he arrived in front of Yang Lian, he arched his hand and said, "Dongjia, something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Lian asked, he was a little strange.

Li Xiong glanced at Zeng Yiling and hesitated slightly, he knew that the beautiful woman in front of him had something to do with the owner, but this matter didn't seem to let her know.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Say it." ”

Li Xiongxin was affirmed, and whispered, saying that it was strange, Li Xiongxin went to the casino today, and when he passed by, he heard a ballad. Originally, there was nothing strange about the ballad, but this ballad is different, Li Hualuo, Yang Huahua, these ballads, just like the one that circulated at the end of the Sui Dynasty, just changed the position, but the meaning is very different.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and thought, is this a killing move? Although it is just a ballad, you must know that at this time, it is extremely superstitious, for example, Li Yu, the ancestor of Yang Wu Jiangshan, is extremely faithful, and even takes pills, so that he died early. In other words, in this era, the proverbs circulated among the people are very important and superstitious, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Zeng Yiling also thought of this and said: "This ballad suddenly circulated, and someone must instigate it. ”

"Exactly." Yang Lian waved his hand, motioned for Li Xiongxin to go first, and thanked him, asking him to pay more attention to similar things in gambling houses, teahouses, and restaurants. Li Xiongxin said goodbye and left, Yang Lian looked at the sky, and couldn't help but say: "The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and Jinling will inevitably be bloody again." ”

"What are you going to do?" Zeng Yiling asked.

Yang Lian thought for a while and said, "In this matter, we must first investigate the source of the ballad, but I am very sure that it must be Li Hongji's ghost." ”

"coincided with the accident in Yingzhou, his next step must be to play the Son of Heaven and take the opportunity to make trouble." Zeng Yiling said.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "In this way, Li Hongji has improved a lot compared to before, at least becoming more insidious. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zeng Yiling's dark eyes rolled, glanced at him, and said, "You can still laugh?" ”

"Why don't you laugh? It's interesting to have a tough opponent. Yang Lian was very serious.

Zeng Yiling pursed her lips, looked like she wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is something, I don't know if I should tell you or not?" ”

"What's the matter with me?" Yang Lian was surprised.

Zeng Yiling thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm thinking, if you really marry Princess Huairou, you will ...... in the future."

Yang Lian looked at Zeng Yiling a little strangely and asked, "What you said, is this this matter?" ”

Zeng Yiling nodded hurriedly, but his eyes were a little erratic.

Yang Lian smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, you'll know later." ”

Zeng Yiling snorted, turned around and walked away. Yang Lian squinted his eyes and looked at Zeng Yiling's back, he felt that Zeng Yiling had some problems, but he couldn't think of what the problem was, in the end, Yang Lian's attention was still attracted by the proverb. As he thought just now, the proverb is used against himself, to what extent will the people circulate, he is not sure, counterattack is necessary, Yang Lian paced and thought.

"Li Hua falls, Yang Hua blooms, Yangzhou is extraordinarily bright in March?" In the imperial city, Li Jing was also reciting a ballad, Yangzhou is now Guangling, which was once the capital of Yang Wu's court. If it is linked to Li Hualuo and Yang Huahua, the meaning of this is self-evident.

Could it be that someone wants to subvert the Tang Dynasty, and this person is not only surnamed Yang, but also a descendant of the Yang Wu royal family? The descendants of the Yang Wu royal family are now placed in Hailing, strictly guarded, it is said that because they can't go out to marry, Hailing Yang has appeared in the clan marriage situation, two years ago, there was a letter from the Ministry of Etiquette, saying that it does not conform to the etiquette system, it is ****, it is recommended that the imperial court relax the control and allow the Yang family to intermarry with outsiders.

Li Jing believes that under such strict surveillance, it is impossible for Hailing Yang's family to escape. So that is, there have been fish that have slipped through the net? Back then, Liezu Dai Wu did a lot of hard work. In the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was Yang Xingmi who set things right in the Jianghuai area, especially rescued many people from Sun Ru's men, and provided disaster relief with military rations, so the prestige of the Yang Wu court was very high, and Yang Xingmi's reputation in Jianghuai was very good.

To replace such a court, Liezu and Xu Wen spent decades and trained troops in the Runzhou area, gradually controlled the military and political power of the Yang and Wu courts, and eliminated many hostile forces, so as to seize the Yang and Wu courts.

The Yang and Wu royal families should have been killed back then, especially Yang Meng, the king of Linchuan who fled, was killed by Zhou Hongzuo, so in Li Jing's impression, the Yang family was locked up in Hailing.

Li Jing waved his hand and motioned for Jia Chong to go back first, he had to think about it. After thinking for a while, there was still no result, and at this time, Gao Ze came to report, saying that Situ Zhouzong had entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

Zhou Zong was still the envoy of the Xuanzhou Festival two years ago, and later wanted to return to his hometown, but Li Jing did not allow it, so he was transferred back to Beijing and appointed as Situ. Li Jing nodded and let him in.

After Zhou Zong came in, he gave a salute and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister asks to see him, and he has something important to say." ”

Li Jing nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and asked someone to bring tea.

Zhou Zongdao: "Your Majesty, when the old minister went out of the city today, he heard a ballad, which seemed to mean something. ”

"But 'Li Hua falls, Yang Hua blooms, and Yangzhou is exceptionally bright in March'?" Li Jing asked.

Zhou Zong was a little surprised, and said, "Ah, it turns out that His Majesty already knows. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Someone has already reported to me, but I don't understand, who is this so-called 'Yang Hua'?" ”

"It must be a descendant of the Yang Wu royal family." Zhou Zong said.

"I also think so, but the descendants of the Yang and Wu royal families are all imprisoned in Hailing, and there is no one who has military power, how can I subvert the Tang Dynasty Society?" Li Jing shook his head, puzzled.

Zhou Zong frowned and said, "The old minister also thought a lot, thought about it and thought about it, but he only felt that there was a possibility. ”

"Zhou Aiqing, what is possible?" Li Jing hurriedly asked, it was about social affairs, and he had also become extremely sensitive.

Zhou Zongdao: "Now in the imperial court, although there are also people surnamed Yang as officials, but at present, the most popular is Yang Lian, the envoy of the Shuntian Festival. ”

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Aiqing, what do you mean by this, Yang Hua is referring to Yang Lian?" ”

Zhou Zong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean that, but this ballad is very suspicious. Zhou Zong didn't say anything full, after all, he knew that if he pointed directly at Yang Lian, it would inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of King Qi.

Li Jing pursed his lips, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zong's attitude, what he said just now was obvious, but at this moment, he deliberately said that it was not the case, and there was no suspicion of three hundred taels of silver here. After Zhou Zong finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.

Li Jing fell into deep thought because of Zhou Zong's words, could it be that this person is really Yang Lian? Speaking of which, Yang Lian got up from the rivers and lakes, and in just a few years, he became a festival envoy, of course, these are all earned by his ability, and he has also tried with Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, Li Jingda, the king of Hubei and others, proving that this Yang Lian is not the old prince of the previous dynasty, and Yang Lian speaks with a Qin accent, which is completely different from the accent in the Jiangnan area.

Besides, Yang Lian is different from the old prince of the previous dynasty in terms of body shape and appearance, especially since he has a scar on his face, it can't be the old prince of the previous dynasty at all!

Li Jing paced, thought for a long time, and denied this idea in his heart, but why did Situ Zhouzong remember this in the first place? And he came here just for this matter, which made Li Jing suspicious. It's all too coincidental, isn't there someone behind it?

Thinking of this, Li Jing thought of two words again: party struggle. Over the years, those old ministers of the martyrs, relying on their merits, divided into several factions, for their own interests infighting, Li Jing began two years ago, painfully determined to rectify, Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu and even Chen Jue and others, or were demoted or exiled, and at the end of last year, the old Song Qiqiu returned to his hometown, and the battle with Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others finally came to an end. However, Zhou Zong's visit, obviously someone instructed him, could it be Han Xizai and Xu Xuan?

Li Jing thought, his brows furrowed.

The song spread quickly, and in just a few days, there were countless children in Jinling City, singing and dancing, and many adults passing by actually learned it. Some cultures know that this ballad is extraordinary, and strictly prohibit their families from singing it. But more people don't understand it at all, they just think that this song is catchy and easy to sing.

Yang Mansion, Chen Tie, Zhu Qi, Chen Keyan, Pan Chengyou and some of the commanders of the Praetorian Guard, drank wine in Yang Lian's Mansion, among these people, although there are martial artists who are old and rude, and they don't understand anything, but there are children from a family like Chen Keyan, and Pan Chengyou, who is full of poetry and books, it is naturally not difficult to see that the ballad is done by someone with a heart.

"It's so deceitful." A marquis named Wang Jianfeng was very angry, and took a sullen sip of wine, his expression was depressed, and it was indescribable.

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "Marquis Yu, the king, drink well, why are you so angry?" ”

Wang Jianfeng sighed and said, "This court, meritorious service is not rewarded, it is really sad. ”

Yang Lian smiled, knowing that Wang Jianfeng was not so much dissatisfied with himself, but as dissatisfied with himself, when the Tang Dynasty took Jianzhou, Wang Jianfeng was the first to go to the city, and later Chen Jue and others attacked Fuzhou, and he led 5,000 troops to capture Fuzhou Dongwu Gate, but afterwards Wang Jianfeng competed with the generals and took the lead in leading the troops to retreat, so that he was caught off guard by Li Hongyi, and the Tang soldiers were defeated, which originated from Wang Jianfeng's private retreat.

Afterwards, Li Jing was afraid that Wang Jianfeng would rebel, so he transferred him back to Beijing, led the Praetorian Guard, and became a Du Yuhou. Wang Jianfeng was originally the assassin of Xinzhou, although he and Du Yuhou were both official positions from the fifth grade, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they had a lot less income, which made Wang Jianfeng very angry.

This time Yang Lian won Fuzhou, he also has credit, at this time, seeing that Yang Lian was grounded, and someone designed Yang Lian, it is very likely that the credit in hand will disappear, how can Wang Jianfeng not scold?

"Wang Duyu waits, come, I'll toast you." Chen Tie smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness on his face, he also wanted to make meritorious contributions, but in the current situation, it seemed that there was a tendency to be deprived.

Wang Jianfeng and Chen Tie were drinking, Pan Chengyou approached Yang Lian and said in a low voice: "Yang Jiedu, this thing doesn't look good. ”

Yang Lian nodded, and also said in a low voice: "In the past few days, in Jinling City, there has been a lot of turmoil, and His Majesty has already known about it, but he didn't let me enter the palace, and even sent troops to arrest me, proving that he at least still trusts me." ”

Pan Chengyou's eyes were blazing, he glanced at the people who were drinking, pursed his lips and thought about it, and said: "Yang Jiedu, it's easy to dodge the open gun and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, so it's better to be careful in this matter." ”

Yang Lian raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you Pan Siqing." ”

The two chatted and drank at the same time, and their relationship was a little closer, Pan Chengyou was a Fujian person, and he had a good relationship with Chen Tie, Lin Renzhao and others, and Pan Chengyou naturally had the meaning of closeness. At this time, Yang Lian remembered that Lin Renzhao stayed in Haizhou, and in the past few months, he had suffered him.

The meal lasted for two hours, and several people were drunk, so Yang Lian sent someone to send them back. After washing his face in the house, the drunkenness subsided slightly, Yang Lian paced in the courtyard, and invited everyone to a banquet today, without other intentions, but to take Fuzhou, everyone has merit, drink a meal, and increase feelings.

However, from this wine, Yang Lian saw a lot of problems, many people are very dissatisfied with the fact that the Son of Heaven has not decided to reward the meritorious ministers, and if there is no reward, who will work for the Son of Heaven for the Tang Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
