Li Hongji hurried towards the imperial city, and when he heard that his father was in the imperial study, he immediately rushed over, he wanted to stop this marriage, Huairou is a child of the Li family, how can he marry Yang Lian, the enemy? You must know that Yang Lian is simply the old prince of the previous dynasty, and his purpose is to subvert the Tang court.

Li Hongji ran all the way, sweat was already on his forehead, and when he was about to go to the imperial study, he saw Gao Ze's father-in-law swaying slowly, with a smile on his face.

"King Yan is in such a hurry, where is this going?" Gao Ze asked with a smile when he saw Li Hongji.

"This king wants to meet his father, is his father in the imperial study?" Li Hongji wanted to confirm again.

Gao Ze's smile froze slightly, but he quickly smiled and said, "King Yan, our family has just been ordered by His Majesty to go and read the holy decree, and we are about to come back to restore our lives. Your Majesty, maybe in the study. Gao Ze said very politely.

The two words of the holy decree touched Li Hongji's heart, and he suddenly became nervous, and asked, "The holy decree, for whose holy decree?" ”

"It's for General Yang." Gao Ze replied.

"General Yang? But Yang Lian? Li Hongji asked.

"Exactly." Gao Ze replied, his footsteps moving, ready to go back to his life.

Li Hongji's face changed, he stepped forward and grabbed Gao Ze's robe, and asked eagerly: "But the father's decree to give Yang Lian a marriage?" ”

Gao Ze was slightly unhappy in his heart, although he was a slave, but he was also a high-level slave, often around the Son of Heaven, he was a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, many princes were polite to him, and even the King of Qi had to call him "Gao Gonggong" when he saw him, but this new King Yan was rude in his words, and he still grabbed his robe, what kind of system is this?

Although Gao Ze was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't show it, but said with a smile: "King Yan's news is really well-informed. ”

As soon as these words came out, how could Li Hongji not understand? immediately let go of his hand and hurried away, but he didn't pay attention and almost pushed Gao Ze to the ground. Gao Ze slowly stood up and looked at Li Hongji's distant back, a wisp of resentment swept through his eyes. After cleaning up his mood, Gao Ze walked slowly towards the imperial study.

At this time, Li Jing was looking through the folds in the imperial study, although most of the things were handed over to the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui, but as the emperor, he still needed his personal approval for some things.

"Liu Yanzhen wants to say goodbye to his hometown?" At this time, an excerpt came into his sight, and Li Jing felt strange, so he couldn't help but pick up the fold and look at it carefully. Liu Yanzhen is not very old, but she is in her forties, and she is in the prime of life, how can she say such a thing as saying goodbye to the old and returning to her hometown?

Li Jing looked at it carefully, Liu Yanzhen said in the excerpt that he had been guarding the sea and Chu for five or six years, and in these five or six years, he was conscientious and conscientious, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Li Jing finished reading the excerpt and fell into contemplation, the two prefectures of Hai and Chu have a special geographical location, bordering Shandong and the Central Plains, and are the strongholds of the Tang Dynasty to the north, and it is necessary to send a capable person to govern, this candidate, Li Jing did not expect it for the time being, it seems that it will be stranded for a while.

After watching the half-ringing fold, Li Jing felt a little headache, so he rubbed his temples and wanted to rest for a while. At this time, hurried footsteps sounded, followed by the voice of a eunuch: "Your Highness stays, Your Majesty is flipping through the folds." ”

"Get out of here, there's something urgent!" A rude voice sounded, which couldn't help but make Li Jing frown, he could already hear the voice of the comer.

Li Hongji pushed the door in, saw Li Jing sitting in front of the desk, looked at himself calmly, hurriedly stepped forward and walked a few steps, and said, "Erchen has seen his father!" ”

The eunuch came in a hurry, with a nervous face, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid should die, damn!" ”

"You go down first." Li Jing stood up and waved his hand.

The eunuch retreated with relief, and when he went out, he closed the door.

"Father, the son has something urgent!" Li Hongji didn't wait for Li Jing to say, and hurriedly said that the news that Gao Ze brought back shocked him in his heart, Yang Lian had already received the holy decree, but there may be a chance to redeem the matter, and he had to give it a go.

"If you have something, tell me." Li Jing glanced at his eldest son and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Father, my son-in-law heard that Huairou County is going to marry Yang Lian?" Li Hongji went straight to the point and asked directly.

"Yes." Li Jing nodded.

"Father, don't do it. So how can Yang Lian be able to marry a princess? It must be his rhetoric and deceiving his father! Besides, Yang Lian has exactly the same name as the old prince of the previous dynasty, presumably the old prince of the previous dynasty, and this person must have some plans when he comes to Jinling. How could Princess Huairou marry him? I also hope that my father will take back the holy decree! Li Hongji said, the whole person was a little excited, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

Li Jing glanced at him in slight surprise, although he knew that the eldest son and Yang Lian had some contradictions, he couldn't imagine that the contradictions were so deep, and he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Li Hongji saw that his father did not speak, with a hesitant look on his face, and hurriedly said: "Father, this matter is true, you must not be deceived by Yang Lian, a traitor, once his conspiracy succeeds, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will change hands!" ”

Li Jing's face changed slightly, is this because he said that he is a faint king? Is this saying that he doesn't know anyone? Li Jing couldn't help clenching his fists and was about to speak, when Gao Ze's voice sounded outside the door, saying, "Your Majesty, the old slave Gao Ze asks to see." ”

Li Jing held back his anger and said, "Come in." He said to Li Hongji again: "You go down first." ”

"Father, Yang Lian's wolf ambition is not a good person, don't fall for his tricks!" Li Hongji is still working hard.

"Stand down!" Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore and shouted. The eldest son is too unreasonable, and in front of his father, he actually speaks in this tone, which is what he can't bear the most.

Li Hongji was stunned for a moment, the anger of the Son of Heaven, he was naturally a little scared, stood up in a daze, turned around and left.

Li Jing watched his eldest son leave coldly, this rebel has no rules at all! At this time, Gao Ze slowly walked in, passed by Li Hongji, and couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, seeing his angry look, he was a little puzzled. After walking a few steps, in front of Li Jing, Gao Ze gave a salute and said, "The old slave has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing took a deep breath and said, "Gao Ze, has that will ever been read?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Lian was not at home for a while, so he read it out late. Now he has received the decree. Gao Ze replied.

"Good." Li Jing cleaned up his mood, sat down, reached out and took the fold, barely glanced at it twice, and felt that there was a breath in his heart, so he couldn't help sighing, put the fold down, stood up and paced in the room.

"This rebel!" Li Jing paced for a while, still restless in his heart, and couldn't help scolding.

"Your Majesty, but King Yan made you angry?" Gao Ze asked with great concern.

"This rebel, if you don't get things done, you won't be worried." Li Jing shook his head, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

Gao Ze smiled and said, "Your Majesty, King Yan is still young, and he can't hide things in his heart, which is understandable. He was furious just now, His Majesty is his father after all, and he must be comforted. ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "What, he was very angry just now?" ”

"This ...... The old slave didn't dare to hide it, when King Yan left just now, he was indeed unhappy. Gao Ze said in great trepidation and bowed down again and again.

"Humph!" Li Jing snorted coldly, and suddenly asked, "I always feel a little strange about this matter. ”

Saying that, without waiting for Gao Ze to speak, Li Jing continued: "Today, Huairou was promoted to princess, it was only a few hours ago, and I gave the marriage, and only a few people knew, where did King Yan get the news from, and he came in such a hurry, wanting to stop this marriage?" ”

Gao Ze had a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, if King Yan can know the news so quickly, someone must have told him." ”

"Someone told him?" Li Jing recalled it and couldn't help repeating it, thinking that after all, he came from the crown prince, and he also had the experience of competing for the heir back then, so he understood a little bit in his heart. Thinking about it like this, Li Jing felt a little more unhappy in his heart. In this palace, someone actually fornicated with King Yan?

Li Jing couldn't help but clench his fists, if he knew who it was, he would definitely break this person into pieces. Li Jing suddenly thought again, King Yan had an internal response in the palace, what was he going to do? Do you have to rebel?

How could Gao Ze not understand what His Majesty was thinking, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, King Yan is young and vigorous, so naturally he doesn't understand His Majesty's hard work. When he grows up, he'll understand. ”

Gao Ze didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Li Jing's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he was very unhappy in his heart. He is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, above tens of thousands of people, for so many years, he has only been in awe of the first emperor, even if it is the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains Court, he does not put it in his eyes. However, King Yan actually shouted loudly in the imperial study, did he still think that he was the Son of Heaven and his father? No matter from which point of view, King Yan must be in awe of him, but the performance just now made Li Jing feel that King Yan no longer has the gift of a monarch and a minister.

Li Jing didn't speak anymore, but went to the harem with a gloomy face, and he was no longer in the mood to flip through the folds. Gao Ze followed behind him, with a smile on his face, he didn't have a good impression of King Yan, but Yang Lian, who met for the first time, gave him a gift, which made him have a good impression of Yang Lian, who loves money like life.

The two of them went one after the other, and at this time the sky had darkened, and Gao Ze was carrying a lantern in his hand, illuminating the way for Li Jing. The two of them were silent all the way, and when they arrived at Empress Zhong's bedroom, a palace maid had already gone in to tell her, and Empress Zhong hurriedly went out to greet her, bowed slightly, and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Zitong, don't be polite." Li Jing smiled and walked into the hall, tonight, he wanted to rest here.

However, as soon as Li Jing walked in, he saw that there were still scraps of cups on the ground, and there was a puddle of tea on the ground that had not been cleaned up. (To be continued.) )
