There is still half a pillar of incense before the court meeting, the minister has almost arrived, gathered together in twos and threes, whispering things, Yang Lian is in the corner, very low-key, many people did not see him, however, Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, found Yang Lian in the crowd.

"Yang Jiedu returned to Beijing, but there is something important?" Xiao Yan came over to talk.

Yang Lian saw him and smiled slightly, Xiao Yan is just in the Tang Dynasty, this is recognized, Yang Lian has a little friendship, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is calling." ”

"Oh? Yang Jiedu guarded the two states of Haichu, which was an important place, and now that His Majesty has summoned him, he thinks that there is something more important. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "We will meet later, and you and I will know." After a pause, he said with a smile: "How is Xiao Siqing doing?" ”

Xiao Yan laughed dryly, as if he remembered something, the two chatted for a while, the door opened, the ministers swarmed in, Yang Lian was at the back, and slowly paced in. Candles had been lit in the hall, shining like day, and at this time, many people found Yang Lian and whispered. It's not that Yang Jiedu will only come back in the next few days, why do you see it now?

Many people wanted to say hello, but they were not allowed to make noise in the main hall, so they had to press the mood of friendship. Yang Lian knew very well that this was likely to be the credit of the Son of Heaven, at this time, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, also discovered Yang Lian, and at the same time he was surprised, he was also relieved, Yang Lian came back safely, better than anything else.

He nodded towards Yang Lian from a distance, indicating that he had seen him. Yang Lian returned the salute and nodded, indicating that he knew, and at this time, amid the eunuch's shouts, Li Jing was wearing a dragon robe and a crown of cupola, and slowly paced over.

Li Jing was very excited, after Yang Lian went back, he didn't sleep much, but stood in front of the map, looking at Fuzhou, overjoyed. It was his wish to expand the territory, but in the past few years since he ascended the throne, he has made no achievements except for taking advantage of the civil strife in Fujian to seize the Jianzhou area. When he had the most headache, in the competition with Wu Yueguo in Fujian, Datang gradually fell into disadvantage, for example, the retention of the Qingyuan Army, although it nominally belonged to Datang, but in fact, he drove away the officials appointed by Datang and became a local tyrant.

For this situation, Li Jing is very helpless, the Tang Dynasty is unlimited, but in fact, there are many strong enemies around, and the internal party strife continues, which seriously weakens the strength, so Li Jing does not dare to invest too many troops, and can only default to the actual ruler of Quanzhou and Nanzhou.

But now it is different, Fuzhou did not use many troops in the victory, and it was very effective, and while achieving victory, Li Jing saw hope. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the tooth generals were undisciplined, often replaced by the predecessors, the Tang Dynasty was born, similar to this, the ancestors in the troubled times, gradually grasped the power, with enough strength, it replaced the previous dynasty. Of course, this sounds good to be a Zen concession, but Li Jing knows very well that if he didn't grasp the power of Yang Wu, it would be impossible to Zen Concession.

It is precisely because of this, so starting from Liezu, there is a kind of precautionary heart for military generals, Li Jing used troops several times, most of them were Wenchen temporary commanders, Wenchen temporary commanders have an advantage, it is not easy to usurp power, but at the same time, it has also brought bad consequences, Wenchen is not familiar with military affairs, lack of combat experience, often lose more than win. Li Jing knows this, but in order to prevent the generals from seizing power and then mutiny, he really has no good way.

Now it's different, Yang Lian has rescued Princess Huairou, sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, attacked Fuzhou, and has also done a good job in Haichu and Chu Prefectures, and is about to become the son-in-law of King Qi, so his loyalty is naturally not bad. With him, it is more reassuring.

Li Jing's eyes were a little dark, but he was still in good spirits, his eyes glanced at the ministers, and when he saw Yang Lian at the back, he couldn't help but smile and sit on the dragon chair. The ministers shouted the tsunami of the salute, the voice vibrate, and the hall trembled faintly. Li Jing waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to flatten down.

Without waiting for Gao Ze to speak, Yan King Li Hongji stood up first, at this time, he had to take the lead, otherwise he would fall behind.

"Erchen played his father, it rained heavily last year, Jinling watered, Xuanwu Lake flooded many places, yesterday Erchen went to pay tribute to Princess Yongxing, and found a strange thing." Li Hongji said loudly, and while speaking, his eyes glanced at Yang Lian who was behind.

Yang Lian was indeed a little surprised, he originally thought that Li Hongji was going to attack him for his military exploits, but he didn't expect to talk about Yingzhou, Princess Yongxing is the sister of the Son of Heaven, and Li Hongji's aunt, what is his intention?

Most of the courtiers don't understand, the big water that went to the year is only brought up now, and more than half a year has passed, what's going on?

Li Jing also came to be interested, for Princess Yongxing, he felt a little guilty, although the things of the year had nothing to do with him, but what the first emperor did, but no matter what, Princess Yongxing would rather starve to death than forgive Liezu, which is the pain in Li Jing's heart. At that time, Liezu was furious, and just hastily buried Princess Yongxing, and later Li Jing ascended the throne as emperor and buried her in Yingzhou.

In his opinion, the Yang Wu court has been destroyed, as long as it is strictly guarded, there are only a few people loyal to Yang Wu in the entire court, and they have been cut off, how much food can be wasted with a few people from the royal family of the Yang Wu court? Besides, that person is still Liezu's son-in-law, with a cowardly personality, he can only dance and write, and there is no possibility of any intentions at all.

Li Jing thought about it like this, and suddenly lost his mind, Li Hongji tentatively said, "Father? ”

Li Jing came back to his senses, coughed, and said, "You go on, what's the strange thing?" ”

Li Hongji pursed his lips, licked his chapped lips, and calmed down, because what he was going to say next was shocking, and he didn't dare to think about how much turmoil it could cause in the Tang Dynasty. But as long as Yang Lian can be brought down, King Qi can be overthrown, and thus ascend to the throne of the crown prince, no matter how chaotic it is, it is worth it.

"Father, the son found a robbery hole near the mausoleum of Princess Yongxing." Li Hongji said.

"What?" Li Jing was stunned and changed color, Princess Yongxing was buried in Yingzhou, even if it was the location of the emperor's mausoleum, he also sent people to guard it and repair it from time to time, but he actually found a robbery hole near the princess's mausoleum, who was so bold? He stood up abruptly and looked at King Yan in disbelief.

"King Yan, do you say it again?" Li Jing's voice trembled a little, and his heart was extremely angry.

At this time, the ministers were also talking about it, and the incident of Princess Yongxing was a strange existence. On the main hall, there are many courtiers who are in high positions during the period of Liezu, and they have more or less heard of this matter, so many years, the wise courtiers have never mentioned this matter, and I didn't expect that King Yan actually mentioned some today, although the mausoleum of Princess Yongxing has a robbery hole, and it has nothing to do with the previous dynasty.

Li Hongji took a deep breath and glanced left and right, and the ministers felt King Yan's gaze, and they all shut up and stopped talking. Only then did Li Hongji repeat what he had just said.

When Li Jing heard this, his body trembled slightly, and Gao Ze hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Li Jing took a few deep breaths, his mind calmed down a little, he gritted his teeth, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Hongji shook his head and said: "Erchen doesn't know, this thief hole seems to have existed for a long time, and after Erchen saw it, he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he came to show his father." ”

The ministers looked at each other, and they were terrified, who was so bold? If it is the old mausoleum of the previous dynasty, then it is fine, even the imperial mausoleum of the current dynasty dares to steal, it is really the old birthday star who hanged himself - he is impatient.

Li Jing was silent, half loud, and then said softly: "Spread my will, all the minions guarding Yingzhou will be executed." Fang Aiqing, you quickly adjust the five hundred armor soldiers, guard Yingzhou, and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. ”

Shang Shufang of the Ministry of War entered and exited the column, and said loudly: "Obey." ”

Li Jing sneered and said, "Although Yingzhou is guarded, the theft of Princess Yongxing's mausoleum is not a trivial matter. Xiao Siqing, I limit you to solve the case within five days, and you must find the real culprit. ”

Xiao Yan's face was a little ugly, King Yan said that the robbery hole has existed for a long time, and it is obvious that this theft hole does not know when it exists, and it is not realistic to solve the case within five days. But at this time, the Son of Heaven was angry, Xiao Yan didn't dare to say more, so he had to bite the bullet and agreed.

Li Jing was very unhappy about this incident, and the subsequent court meeting was mostly inconsequential. At this time, Li Hongji did not propose to continue to attack Suzhou, he temporarily advanced the plan of the second step, although the effect was a little worse, but there will always be an effect.

As for Yang Lian's attack on Fuzhou, many courtiers in the court did not know, but when they heard this, there was a commotion, and everyone was overjoyed, but seeing that the Son of Heaven had a gloomy face, the atmosphere was a little depressed, and this matter was suppressed.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Lian did not leave in a hurry, he knew that Li Hongji must have his purpose in doing this, but what was the purpose?

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, was very excited, saw Yang Lian, pulled him and said for a while, asked about the situation in Fuzhou, Yang Lian said half of it, at this time, the Son of Heaven sent Gao Ze over to ask Yang Lian to face the saint.

Gao Ze took Yang Lian to the imperial study, Li Jing, the king of Qi, thought about it, but in the end he didn't follow, but ordered a few little eunuchs to stay aside, if Yang Lian came out, let him go to the East Palace to find him.

In the imperial study, Li Jing's face was still gloomy, and he hadn't eased up, there was a robbery hole in Princess Yongxing's mausoleum, this was not a simple matter of stealing money, but a contempt for the royal family, a provocation to the royal family, Li Jing couldn't bear it.

Yang Lian came in, saw Li Jing pondering, and said, "Weichen Yang Lian has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing pursed his lips, came back to his senses, and said, "Yang Aiqing, come, sit here." ”

Yang Lian sat diagonally opposite, did not speak, and waited for the Son of Heaven.

Li Jing said after half a sound: "Yang Aiqing, today's court meeting should have been rewarded for meritorious deeds, but I couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen. ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if someone dares to offend Princess Yongxing, this is a great disrespect to the royal family, and it must be severely punished, otherwise, the royal family will lose face and prestige." ”

Li Jing thought deeply about this, and said: "Xiao Yan is reliable, and he must be able to give me a result." As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the side of the desk, pointed to the rice paper on it, and said, "This is what I just wrote, and I think it is the most appropriate way to describe you."
