In the imperial city, Li Jing was sipping tea and thinking about things. The great victory in Fuzhou www.biquge.info made Li Jing's originally extinguished ambition burn again, and although he didn't dare to think of attacking Wu Yueguo, it was okay to look at other places.

Han civil strife, Li Jing originally wanted to attack, Li Shouzhen also sent someone to contact him, expressed his willingness to be a minister, asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops, afterwards, Li Shouzhen occupied Hedong, Guanzhong, Hebei area, the Central Plains and Shandong were handed over to the Tang Dynasty.

This condition is not generous to Li Jing, but he knows that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is much greater than that of Li Shouzhen, and when he goes north, the land he occupies is like meat in his mouth, how can he easily spit it out? It's just that Li Jing is still a little hesitant, he is still waiting, the more stalemate the war over there, the more Han and Li Shouzhen invest troops, the greater the loss of national strength, and the more tired the soldiers will be, and when that time comes, there may be a great chance of winning in sending troops.

Compared with sending troops to the Han State, the State of Chu made Li Jing more interested, the reason is very simple, the State of Chu currently has a trend of civil strife, and the Chulang Prefecture Jiedu made Ma Xicao send people to Jinling several times to offer treasures, saying that it is to offer treasures, in Li Jing's view, Ma Xicao must have a plan, and he wants to be the second Shi Jingjiao. It's just that Ma Xicao has not made a clear statement yet, and Li Jing can't take the initiative to mention it, otherwise he will lose the initiative.

However, the necessary preparations for war still have to be there, so he did not plan to send troops to Suzhou, and the grain and grass saved were for his use. A few days ago, King Yan already knew about it, and he didn't mention it at the court meeting yesterday, so he must have agreed, and Li Jing had a headache for this grumpy eldest son.

At this time, Gao Ze walked over, his face was a little ugly, and said, "Your Majesty, something happened." ”

Thinking and thinking, Li Jing stood up suddenly, blurted out, and said, "Something happened to the Chu State?" Mahi Calyx rebellion? ”

Gao Ze glanced at him in some surprise, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "No, Your Majesty, Yang Jiedu beat Xiao Yan, the Qing of Dali Temple." ”

"Hit? Why? "Li Jing is very strange, except for the last incident, these two people have no conflict of interest at all, although Yang Lian is a martial artist, but he is quite calm, how could he be beaten by Xiao Yan?

"This, it's not clear yet, they are here to ask His Majesty for a holy judgment." Gao Ze smiled.

"Hmm." Li Jing frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Take them to the study to see me." ”

Gao Ze took the order and left, Li Jing walked to the window, looked at the green leaves that had grown outside the window, and frowned, what was going on? Li Jing thought about it while walking, and when he arrived at the imperial study, he still didn't understand. After waiting for a while, I saw Yang Lian and Xiao Yan coming in.

When Li Jing saw it, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh, Yang Lian was fine, there was no injury at all, but Xiao Yan was very embarrassed, his face was full of blood, the hairpin on his head had also fallen off, and his hair was scattered, where was the majestic appearance of Dali Siqing?

Yang Lian went in and said loudly: "Weichen Yang Lian see Your Majesty." As he spoke, he gave a salute.

Xiao Yan also wanted to give a salute, but his appearance was really not flattering.

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Xiao Siqing, you go and wash up first, and then you will take care of it." ”

Xiao Yan's face was pale, but he couldn't see the blue at all, and under the leadership of Xiao Yan, he went to fetch water to wash.

Li Jing tapped lightly on the table, he wanted to hear Yang Lian's reasonable explanation.

Yang Lian clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to start." ”

"Kickstart?" Li Jing sneered, although he wanted a reasonable explanation, but Yang Lian beat the imperial court officials, and he was still in charge of the criminal Dali Temple in the Gyeonggi area, this crime is not small.

"What do you have to start? Yang Lian, I am so sad, you are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, beating Dali Siqing, do you have no king's law to this point? Li Jing said, standing up abruptly.

Yang Lian took a step back, bent down and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, it is not right for Weichen to beat people, but early in the morning, Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, took dozens of people to Weichen's mansion, claiming that Weichen was a prisoner and wanted to arrest and return to Dali Temple. Wei Chen was not angry for a while, so he moved. ”

"It's strange, you just came back, what did you do?" Li Jing is very strange, this matter is unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, according to Xiao Yan, Weichen has something to do with the theft of Princess Yongxing's mausoleum." Yang Lian said.

Li Jing patted the case and said, "So ridiculous! ”

Yang Lian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks the same, so he wants to ask for an understanding, and it is not too late to go with Xiao Siqing, but he didn't give an explanation, dozens of officials wanted to forcibly take Weichen away, and Weichen was furious for a while, so he moved." ”

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "He brought more than thirty people, how could you beat him like this?" ”

"Maybe it's because the officials are vulnerable." Yang Lian analyzed.

Li Jing was angry and funny, although the official was not a soldier, but more than 30 people couldn't protect Xiao Yan, so that Xiao Yan was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, which really lost the face of Dali Temple. Li Jing was pacing in the room, he naturally couldn't just listen to Yang Lian's words about this matter, he needed to investigate, and when he walked to the side, he called a eunuch and asked him to check what the situation was at that time.

Li Jing just returned to the chair, Gao Ze came back with Xiao Yan, and after washing up, his hair was also tied up with a hairpin, and he looked much better, but his face was red, I don't know how many slaps he was slapped by Yang Lian, and he could faintly see the blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Jing asked.

Xiao Yan glared at Yang Lian viciously, Yang Lian was so fierce that he lost face. Yang Lian noticed his movements and looked back at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was ridiculing him for being vulnerable.

Xiao Yan snorted coldly in his heart, don't turn his head, salute Li Jing, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to investigate the cave theft case of Princess Yongxing in Yingzhou, and after searching yesterday, I found a few strange things. ”

"You say." Li Jing said.

Yang Lian looked at Xiao Yan lightly, still looking light.

Xiao Yan continued, it turned out that yesterday he rushed to Yingzhou with the servants, searched around the tomb of Princess Yongxing, and sure enough, he found a robbery hole, judging from the color of the soil, it has been a long time, he sent someone into the robbery hole, but found that this robbery hole is very long and very deep. The men entered the cave and searched carefully, but found a hoe with rust on it, and on the hoe, there was a person's name engraved on it.

This person's name is Yang Lian, who is now very beautiful in the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, Xiao Yan also found that the thief hole led to the opposite side, where was the mausoleum of Yang Lian, the old prince of the previous dynasty! It's just that the thief hole was covered by soil when it arrived in front of Yang Lian's mausoleum.

No matter what, that hoe was enough for Xiao Yan to arrest Yang Lian, he knew that Yang Lian was a general, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to speak, so he brought more than 30 people, but he was suddenly attacked by Yang Lian, so that he was captured and lost face.

Li Jing didn't interject, and waited quietly for Xiao Yan to finish speaking, and then asked, "What about the hoe?" ”

"Your Majesty, the hoe was hidden in Dali Temple by Weichen." Xiao Yan said.

"Send someone to fetch it for me to see." Li Jing commanded.

Xiao Yan walked out, Yang Lian stood with his hands tied, with a smile on his face, so it was, no wonder Li Hongji would bring up this matter in the main hall, it turned out that he had been prepared, but Xiao Yan behaved like this, was he used as a gun, or did they have collusion?

Li Jing tapped lightly on the case, he was thinking, this matter is really incredible, he doesn't believe that Yang Lian went to rob the tomb, but he believes that it is useless, there must be evidence. For Yang Lian, that hoe was not good for him.

After Xiao Yan came back, several people in the imperial study fell silent, and no one spoke, but waited.

Yanwang Mansion.

Li Hongji was pacing in the courtyard, and beside him, Prime Minister Sun Sheng stood with his hands in his hands, watching the fish in the fish pond jumping happily. At this time, the two of them already knew what happened more than an hour ago, and neither of them thought that Xiao Yan would be so incompetent and that he could be subdued by Yang Lian with more than 30 people.

However, since Yang Lian made a move, it was not a small crime to beat the ministers of the court, and this matter has become a big problem, and in front of the Son of Heaven, how the Son of Heaven should step out is not a simple matter. That thief hole is not enough to hit Yang Lian, but it can be used as an introduction, and then become a target for attacking Yang Lian.

Sun Sheng narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then he said: "King Yan, Your Majesty already knows about this matter, and within two or three days, you can have someone hand over the fold and impeach Yang Lian for his crimes." ”

Li Hongji continued to pace and said, "Don't worry, Lone has another idea." ”

"Oh? What is King Yan's idea, the old minister is willing to listen to it and hear it in detail. Sun Sheng smiled.

Li Hongji smiled faintly and said softly, this is a series of plans, Li Hongji wants to attack Yang Lian from the officialdom to the people, and use the impeachment of officials and the criticism of the people to hit Yang Lian's reputation to the limit. If he can be completely defeated, it will be good, and even if he can't, it can weaken the impact of Yang Lian's capture of Fuzhou this time to a certain extent.

Sun Sheng listened, paced and thought for a while, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "King Yan's move is really wonderful, one ring after another, the old minister thought, Yang Lian must be tired of coping." ”

He couldn't have imagined that the originally impulsive Yan King would have such a change in just half a year. Of course, this is a welcome change, after all, King Yan is about to inherit the unification, what can he do if he has no force? You can't let the king go to war himself. But if you have a scheming, you can quickly control the court, that is him, and he Sun Sheng is under one person and above ten thousand.

The two discussed for a while, finalized the specific matter, Li Hongji called his henchman, carefully advised, and the henchman took the order and left.

Sun Sheng said: "King Yan, if this happens, it will definitely be a powerful blow to the party of King Qi. When this matter is over, King Yan will lead the troops to fight and establish great military achievements, and in time, His Majesty will definitely look at King Yan differently. At that time, the crown prince was none other than King Yan. ”

"I hope so, if he inherits the throne one day, I will not live up to the prime minister." Li Hongji touched his chin full of short beards and smiled very sinisterly. (To be continued.) )
