Chapter 25: Meeting the Son of Heaven
When Xu Wei left, it was already dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zeng Yiling watched Xu Wei walk out of the Yang Mansion, and then turned back, Xu Wei's appearance here was definitely unusual.
In fact, she didn't expect that she would be able to meet the only surviving relatives here, and it should have been joyful to see each other, but Xu Wei's experience made her undecided, between the grace of nurturing, family affection and the grace of saving lives, which one would he choose?
It's hard to say clearly, after not seeing each other for so many years, people will change, which Zeng Yiling has experienced the most, such as himself, for example, Yang Lian, if the changes that have occurred in the two of them are not particularly familiar people, they can't be found at all.
While Zeng Yiling was pondering, Yang Lian walked over, grabbed her Rou Yi, and said in a low voice, "Is he really your eldest brother?" ”
Zeng Yiling nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that jade pendant already represents his identity." ”
Yang Lian pondered for a while, what Xu Wei would do, Yang Lian didn't know, but he had to make proper preparations. Fortunately, the identity has not been leaked, and the main contradiction is also on Li Hongji, so Yang Lian does not have to worry about it for the time being, as for the evidence, Yang Lian is waiting.
After this night, it was peaceful, and when Yang Lian got up the next day, he was in good spirits, and there was still no news from the Son of Heaven, which proved that Xu Wei should be hesitating, or that he didn't tell Li Jing the truth, which was a good start.
Under the seemingly calm surface, there is still an undercurrent, and Li Hongji's side has already made a preliminary plan, just waiting for the time to come, and then launch an offensive.
On Guo Rong's side, most of the people sent by Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, were placed outside the city by Guo Rong, and these people waited for the opportunity to welcome Guo Rong back to Kaifeng. Yelu Xiyin's side, although there is a shortage of manpower, but his subordinates are all brave people, this person is not willing to be lonely, in order to use the power of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou to achieve his goal, he also fights.
Yang Lian is also collecting relevant intelligence and actively making preparations, which is an opportunity for Li Hongji, but for Yang Lian, why not an opportunity? Lin Renzhao got the news and wanted to rush to the capital to help, but was comforted by Yang Lian, and Lin Renzhao's role in staying in Suzhou was greater.
The same is true for Chen Tie, Yang Lian secretly ordered him to reorganize his troops and horses in case of a counterattack by the Zhou State, Yanzhou, Yunzhou and other places are on the border of the two countries, and the geographical location is special, and it is still difficult to deal with the enemies on both sides.
Three days later, at dusk, Xiao Yan came, he was wearing a hat on his head, wearing a green coat, deliberately concealing his identity, Yang Lian got the news, and immediately sent someone to invite Xiao Yan to the study, and asked people to wait outside the door, without his permission, he must not come to disturb.
In the study, Xiao Yan took off his hat and revealed a solemn face.
"Xiao Siqing, have you got a result?" Yang Lian asked.
Xiao Yan sighed, and took out a piece of paper from his arms, there were still blood stains on the paper, and the blood stains had solidified, which looked quite scary.
"What is this?" Yang Lian asked.
"It's a list of generals who participated in King Yan's rebellion." Xiao Yan said and handed the paper to Yang Lian.
Yang Lian narrowed his eyes, looked at the contents of the list carefully, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn, it was full of names, and the handwriting was scribbled, and it looked like it had been written in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Yang Lian asked.
Xiao Yan said the matter with a heavy emotion, it turned out that his fellow villagers secretly sent someone to sneak into the secret room, because Li Hongji was very well guarded, so after the person sneaked into the secret room, he just saw the list, and when he wanted to bring things out, he accidentally touched the mechanism in the secret room, and this person was injured and desperately escaped. Due to his serious injuries, this person only told Xiao Yan's fellow villagers his name before he died.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, his mood was a little unstable, and he said: "Wu Hou, this list was bought with blood, and I hope that Wu Hou can prevent this disaster." ”
Yang Lian looked at the list again, many people on it Yang Lian didn't know, but from the few names he knew, Yang Lian could see that most of these people were generals of the Praetorian Guard, and Li Hongji had now bought these people, and it seemed that it was inevitable.
Yang Lian's expression became worried, put the list on the case, and said: "I didn't expect Li Hongji to buy so many people, if it weren't for Xiao Siqing's concern for the country, I'm afraid that Li Hongji's rebellion would have succeeded this time." ”
Xiao Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I am deeply favored by the Tang Emperor, and now that the country is in trouble, I should not be afraid of life and death and serve the country." ”
"This time Xiao Siqing has made a lot of contributions, and after the matter is completed, Ben Hou should be the sponsor of Xiao Siqing." Yang Lian said with a smile.
"This list is placed here in Wu Hou, and now it's not early, in order not to arouse suspicion, the official will leave." Xiao Yan said, stood up, and hurriedly walked out.
Yang Lian personally sent Xiao Yan out of the back door, then returned to the study, paced silently, and after a while, he set his eyes on the list, and for a full quarter of an hour, Yang Lian withdrew his gaze and laughed, he already knew what to do.
Yang Lian immediately made a decision, ordered people to prepare horses, and walked towards the imperial city. Along the way, the patrolling soldiers wanted to come forward to check, saw that it was Wu Hou's banner, and heard that he was going to the imperial city, so they immediately did not dare to stop it, and even a few clever Wu commanders led the troops to protect Yang Lian and entered the imperial city.
At this time, Li Jing fell asleep early, and when Yang Lian arrived in the imperial city, Gao Ze was patrolling outside the door.
"Wu Hou, it's so late, why are you here?" Gao Ze asked, really surprised in his heart, is there something important for Wu Hou to come here so late?
"Father-in-law Gao, Yang just got a definite news that someone wants to rebel, and I hope that Gonggong Gao will show His Majesty." Yang Lian said.
Gao Ze was stunned when he heard this, someone actually wanted to rebel? Is this worth it? His face changed, let Yang Lian wait on the side, and quickly entered Li Jing's bedroom.
When Li Jing was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard Gao Ze calling him in a low voice, Li Jing opened his eyes slowly, and found that a candle was lit in the room.
"Gao Ze, it's so late, what are you?" Li Jing asked first.
Gao Ze knelt down with a "poof", slapped himself twice, and said: "The old slave should die, I know that I shouldn't disturb Your Majesty's rest at this time, but there is a big matter, and I have to wait for Your Majesty to decide." ”
Li Jing let out an "oh" and sat up slowly, Gao Ze hurriedly stood up and put on a coat for Li Jing, for fear that he would catch a cold.
At this time, although it was night, the weather was still quite hot, Li Jing shook his head, looked at Gao Ze, and said, "What is going on?" ”
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu entered the palace late at night and said that he wanted to meet His Majesty. According to Wu Hou, there were people who wanted to rebel. Gao Ze said.
"Silk!" Li Jing gasped, not because he was surprised, but because he happened to know about King Yan's unscrupulous intentions, and now that Wu Hou came to ask to see him again, could it be that he also had some news? Li Jing pondered for a while, and then asked Gao Ze to take Yang Lian to the study to wait first.
The palace maid washed up for Li Jing, and Li Jing slowly paced towards the imperial study. At this time, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, because the matter was still under his control, and King Yan had not rebelled yet. However, Yang Lian already knew about this matter, and Li Jing's original plan fell through.
Along the way, Li Jing arrived at the imperial study with a heavy heart, Yang Lian saw him come in, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Weichen Yang Lian has seen Your Majesty." disturbed His Majesty's dreams, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins. ”
Li Jing waved his hand, walked to Yang Lian's side, and said, "Marquis Wu, Gao Ze has already told me your intentions, you said that someone wants to rebel, who is it?" Unconsciously, Li Jing's voice trembled a little.
"Your Majesty, this list was accidentally obtained by Xiao Siqing, and most of the above lists are generals of the Praetorian Guard, and these people seem to have colluded with King Yan." Yang Lian said, handing over the list with both hands.
Li Jing took the list, studied and watched by himself in the candlelight, and in the middle of the ring, he waved his hand and ordered Gao Ze to call Chen Keyan, the general who was patrolling the night.
Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, this list of Weichen was also obtained by luck, if it is true, I am afraid that Datang will inevitably have a catastrophe." ”
Li Jing nodded, and suddenly, he felt a great headache.
At this time, Li Jing fell asleep early, and when Yang Lian arrived in the imperial city, Gao Ze was patrolling outside the door.
"Wu Hou, it's so late, why are you here?" Gao Ze asked, really surprised in his heart, is there something important for Wu Hou to come here so late?
