In fact, even Li Yuan, who came to take Li Jing back to Beijing on the order of Empress Dugu Jialuo, did not know that the crown prince Yang Yong was the initiator of Li Jing's forced departure from Yang Guang's side.

This matter also happened to coincide, Yang Guang's contribution to Li Jing, Liang Mo and others happened to be sent to Yang Yong, the crown prince of the assistant government, on the same day as Gao Ying's report sent back from Bingzhou, Liu Jushi to persuade Dulan Khan to raise troops to attack Sui.

Three years ago, Yang Yong was jealous of Yang Guang because he was not able to compete with Yang Guang for the command of Chen, and not long ago he was suspicious of the queen Dugu Jialuo because of the bizarre violent death of the crown princess Yuan, and believed that he poisoned the Yuan family, which then caused a storm of waste and easy storage, which made Yang Yong almost swept out of the East Palace, and as we all know, the successor prince recognized by the queen Dugu Jialuo and the Sui Gaozu Yang Jian was Yang Guang, the king of Jin, so that Yang Yong's jealousy of Yang Guang turned into hatred, and he secretly decided, We must eliminate Yang Guang, the biggest threat.

As a result, Li Jing acted as the brunt and became the first target of Yang Yong's attack on Yang Guang.

After Yang Yong saw the two passages in the north and south that arrived in Beijing at the same time, he did not discuss with Yang Su, the right servant of Shangshu who was in the middle of the court, nor did he present the two passages to his father Yang Jian, but first rushed to Zhengyang Palace, and specially reminded Dugu Jialuo: "The sons still remember that before Liu Yi and Yuwenxin launched the three rebellions in the sixth year of the emperor, the queen mother had drawn up four key suspects among the former ministers of the previous dynasty, including Liu Jushi's father Peng Guogong Liu Chang. That's why the queen mother let him go. Unexpectedly, after Liu Chang endured for several years, he still instructed his son Liu Jushi to abscond, wanting to use the Turkic army to subvert my Great Sui.

As far as Erchen knows, Liu Jushi has traveled extensively in Chang'an, and has always been known as a pranky hero, and since he has sneaked outside the Guan, the queen mother must not help but prevent his comrades in Chang'an City from colluding with each other and wanting to cause trouble together. According to the opinion of the sons, it is better to preemptively arrest all the eunuchs and children of the family who have close contacts with Liu Jushi without asking for reasons, and hand them over to the department for investigation and understanding, and then deal with them separately according to the situation......"

Dugu Jialuo was originally wary and disgusted with this eldest son because of the violent death of the Yuan family, but because Yang Yong came to Zhengyang Palace today to ask her to see her for the resurgence of an old case that she presided over a few years ago, a Liu Jushi suddenly appeared, sneaking outside the gate to persuade the Turkic Dulan Khan to raise an army, which could not help but make Dugu Jialuo pay special attention to this matter.

"Hearing you say this, you must know something about Liu Jushi's friendship in Chang'an, are there any people who now hold the power of the army?" Dugu Jialuo browsed the music presented by Yang Yong and asked casually.

Yang Yong replied cautiously: "Erchen also remembered the situation of Liu Jushi after reading this piece written by Gao Servant today, and for a while I really can't think of who he has a close relationship with......

Dugu Jialuo's gaze moved from the piece in his hand to Yang Yong, glared at him dissatisfied, and saw that Yang Yong was still holding a piece in his hand, so he asked, "Who wrote the piece in your hand?"

Yang Yong was waiting for her question, and took the opportunity to present Yang Guang's recital for Li Jing to Dugu Jialuo, and deliberately praised Yang Guangdao: "This is a recital written by Ah Zong to ask for merit for the meritorious generals of Gu Zier's robbers. The queen mother, take a look, the son-in-law is a little out of breath just now, if you want to be a son-in-law, you can't think of such a clever plan anyway. “

Dugu Jialuo understood that Yang Yong was deliberately praising Yang Guang in front of him, and his real purpose was to take the opportunity to please himself, pouted, and unfolded Yang Guang's recital to browse with interest.

As Yang Yong expected, when he didn't see much, Dugu Jialuo's eyes were fixed on the name Li Jing, he raised his head thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and asked Yang Yong: "Li Jing, this baby is amazing, he went deep into the bandit cave alone to capture the bandit leader, and Ah Zong wants to protect him and lead a battalion of hussar battalions." Do you know whose baby he is? ”

"Li Jing is the son of Li Quan, the former Fenzhou assassin history, most of the queen mother has forgotten, a few years ago he forcibly broke into the forbidden palace to clear his father's wrongs, and later, in the process of his father personally presiding over the pacification of the rebellion of the three families, Li Jing also made a contribution, and was recruited by his father to be the head of the inner hall before the age of fourteen." Yang Yong just refused to directly explain that Li Jing and Liu Jushi were sworn brothers, and lured Dugu Jialuo into his design.

Hongu remembered. I once heard Er'er say that in order to save his father Li Quan, Li Jing forcibly broke into the forbidden palace, and was later taken back to the palace by Ah Zong to be imprisoned, as if it was Liu Jushi, who instigated people to beat gongs and drums outside the gate of Ah Zong's palace in the middle of the night for several nights...... In this way, the friendship between Li Jing and Liu Jushi is really extraordinary!" As he spoke, Dugu Jialuo suddenly realized that he might have fallen for Yang Yong, and his face became gloomy.

"I've never heard of this." Yang Yong pretended to be the first time he heard that Li Jing and Liu Jushi were old friends, and continued to say the opposite, "However, Li Jing has repeatedly established meritorious services for the imperial court, and now he is a capable general by Ah Zong's side, he will most likely not collude with Liu Jushi and rebel against the imperial court. “

"No, such a person should not continue to serve as Ah Zong's guard." Dugu Jialuo knew that Yang Yong was pretending to be a ghost, but he was worried about Yang Guang's safety, and he didn't want Li Jing to stay by Yang Guang's side anymore, so he immediately said, "The matter of arresting Li Jing and returning to Beijing to ask will be handled by the palace. ”

Yang Yong was very disappointed that he could not send someone to Guangling to arrest Li Jing and return to Beijing, and before leaving, he specially reminded Dugu Jialuo: "Where is my father? ”

"This matter is related to an old case that the palace presided over the investigation a few years ago, so the palace will report it to your father." Dugu Jialuo firmly grasped the power of investigating Liu Jushi's party in his own hands, and replied lightly.

More than half a month later, Li Yuan not only successfully brought back Li Jing from Guangling, but also escorted back the bandit leaders Gu Zi'er and Yan Shisan, which made Dugu Jialuo even more convinced that the crown prince Yang Yong was making a big fuss about the fact that Li Jing and Liu Jushi were old friends, and the arrow pointed at the successor of the East Palace she had chosen, Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

In the Zhengyang Palace, after reading the letter brought back by Yang Guangtuo Li Yuan to intercede for Li Jing, a strange smile flashed on Dugu Jialuo's face, and then ordered Li Yuan to escort Li Jing back to his home in Chang'an, send more people, and strictly guard it, without her permission, Li Jing was not allowed to step out of the house.
