Qian Chengli looked at Guo Rong and Li Hongji sitting beside him, and was silent. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them are discussing a big matter, how can they attack the siege city more efficiently? Although for now, the plan has been successfully implemented, no one can say what variables there will be in the future, and it is always good to use several sets of plans multiple times.

Qian Chengli has not squeaked, Guo Rong has put forward several opinions, and in the process of discussing with Li Hongji, ideas collided, and finally found all kinds of unreasonable places, and finally the plan was canceled.

Just when the discussion was undecided, news came from the palace that Empress Zhong announced that Li Hongji had entered the palace. Li Hongji is the prince and the eldest son, although the mansion is outside, he can enter the palace at any time, Guo Rong patted his thigh at this time, and Queen Zhong is the object that can be used.

Li Hongji thought so, he asked Guo Rong and Qian Chengli to stay in the Yanwang Mansion, and hurried towards the imperial city.

In the imperial city, Li Hongji found an extremely familiar back, and he could judge that this was Yang Lian's back. Li Hongji was a little hesitant for a while, how could Yang Lian also appear in the imperial city? Could it be that there is some conspiracy that cannot be realized? Li Hongji held his breath and secretly followed, and when he found out that Yang Lian went to his father's imperial study, Li Hongji breathed a sigh of relief and became vigilant at the same time.

What did his father summon Yang Lian to discuss? This kind of thing, I'm afraid only the personal eunuch of the father and emperor knows about it, and it should be impossible for others to know. How do you know? Li Hongji thought about it carefully, and couldn't find a better candidate for a while, so he had to walk towards the harem first.

Empress Zhong had a sad look on her face, although she was in the harem, she still heard some news. There is a rumor in the palace that King Yan is going to rebel, but Queen Zhong doesn't believe it, although this son is a little reckless, he will not rebel. She was determined to find her son and ask for clarification.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the anxious Empress Zhong finally heard the news that King Yan had come in, and she hurriedly stopped King Yan who wanted to salute and motioned for him to come to her side.

Li Hongji was a little unsure, but he pretended to be pitiful, sitting on the soft couch with half his buttocks, not daring to look at his mother.

Seeing that he looked like a servant, Queen Zhong had a deep sorrow between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, stretched out her hand, touched her son's face, and said distressedly: "King Yan, you have lost weight." ”

"Mother, please save the child." Li Hongji suddenly stood up, knelt down in front of Empress Zhong, and cried and shouted, his voice trembling slightly, and he almost even had snot flowing out.

"Here, son, where does this begin?" Empress Zhong originally just wanted to ask, but at this time, Li Hongji suddenly cried and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Mother, the child has been persecuted by adulterers, and now the situation is in danger, I am afraid that this human head on the neck may fall to the ground at any time." Li Hongji said, his eyes became more and more red, and tears fell like pearls.

Empress Zhong was taken aback, hurriedly pulled up her son, let him sit beside her, and said angrily: "King Yan, what is going on?" You tell your mother carefully, if someone really wants to harm you, your mother will never spare him. At this moment, Empress Zhong is no longer a queen, but a mother who protects calves. Her children can have a thousand things that are not wrong, but these faults, in his eyes, are not faults. What's more, over the years, Queen Zhong felt that she had indeed felt a little wronged by her eldest son.

First of all, as the eldest son, he could not inherit the throne, which broke the general tradition and made Empress Zhong feel guilty, even though this decision was sworn by her husband in front of the Liezu Zi Palace.

Secondly, over the years, the husband has indeed owed too much to this son, which has added to Queen Zhong's uneasiness; Again, what happened a few days ago, although Empress Zhong comforted Li Hongji, she couldn't help but be sad when she thought that her son was going to Jizhou, so far away.

At this time, Li Hongji cried a few more times, and his expression was very perfect, so that Queen Zhong's heart gradually melted, and the greatness of women bloomed at this moment.

Li Hongji cried twice, there were still tears in her eyes, Queen Zhong took out a piece of brocade handkerchief casually, wiped her tears for her son, and suddenly she remembered that there were no palace maids in this room, so she waved her hand and ordered them to retreat, and they were not allowed to enter the house without being instructed.

Li Hongji was waiting for this opportunity, there were many people just now, if he said it, it would inevitably be listened to by someone with a heart.

"Mother, that Marquis Wu relied on his power and once bullied his sons, and now he is even in front of his father and emperor, saying that his sons want to rebel. In the past few days, Erchen has been terrified and restless, not knowing what to do, mother, save me! Li Hongji said, quickly stood up again, kowtowed a few times, the floor thumped, and when he raised his head again, his forehead had broken the skin, and blood flowed out, looking quite shocking.

"Ah, you kid, how can you toss your body like this." Empress Zhong said, hurriedly pulled up Li Hongji, and took out gauze from the alley on the side and bandaged Li Hongji simply.

"Mother, it's okay." Li Hongji said.

"How can it be okay, why don't you take care of yourself like this, alas, it seems that you should marry a wife." Empress Zhong said, suddenly realized something again, and couldn't help sighing.

Li Hongji's face darkened, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.

Empress Zhong asked again: "Son, just now you said that Wu Hou relied on his power to bully you, this matter is impossible, Wu Hou Niang also knows, although his temper is somewhat similar to you, but he is not a master who loves to complain." ”

Li Hongji wiped his tears and said, "If my mother doesn't believe it, you can ask my father." ”

"Hmm!" Empress Zhong groaned and thought about it, this matter is not so easy to ask. Always find a suitable opportunity. The mother and son spoke for a while, and Li Hongji reluctantly stood up and walked out.

Empress Zhong told her son to be relieved, as a prince, how could she let others frame her? If this matter is framed, even if it is Wu Hou, she will seek justice.

Li Hongji withdrew from the backyard and slowly walked around the imperial city, he kept looking for Yang Lian's figure, but until he walked out of the imperial city, he didn't find Yang Lian's figure, and he didn't know if he had gone out, or was he still in his father's imperial study?

Anyway, Li Hongji was quite satisfied with the performance just now, and with his mother's help, the chances of winning were a little more good.

At this time, Yang Lian was no longer in Li Jing's imperial study, but with more than 20 henchmen cavalry, rushed out of Jinling City, the cavalry were all dressed in civilian clothes, after leaving the city, they scattered in all directions, and searched for news in the villages within a radius of 100 miles, most of the soldiers chatted with the people in the village in the name of drinking water, trying to know more news.

Yang Lian dressed in spacious robes and dressed as a businessman, and entered a relatively large village. This village is very large, with at least 200 or more households, restaurants, inns and so on. After running around all morning, Yang Lian also felt a little thirsty, so he took two personal soldiers to the restaurant.

This village is located in the traffic artery, there are many businessmen from the south to the north, when Yang Lian entered the restaurant, he saw that it was crowded with people, and the eyesight of the hall was excellent, and when he saw Yang Lian come in, he felt that this person's identity was different from ordinary people, so he hurriedly walked over, laughed with him, and said: "This guest officer, please inside." ”

"With so many people, is there a place?" Yang Lian asked.

"Guest officer, there is a box on the third floor, close to the river, and the scenery is very good." Runtang laughed.

Yang Lian nodded, motioned to lead the way, and took out two big coins for him. The smile of the running hall is open to the face, such a guest is willing, he likes it. happily took Yang Lian and the others upstairs, and pushed open the door very diligently, wiping the table inside on the ground.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?" The runner asked.

Yang Lian ordered a few side dishes, asked for two pots of wine, and the person who ran the hall promised to retreat. Yang Lian pushed open the window and stared out.

"Master Hou, what is the purpose of our coming here?" A pro-soldier asked, this person is called Chen Tao, originally from Yanzhou, after Yang Lian was stationed in Yanzhou, he selected a group of strong, loyal and reliable people as pro-soldiers, Chen Tao is one of them.

Yang Lian pointed downstairs and asked, "Look, what is the difference between those people and ordinary people?" ”

Chen Tao walked up first, looked at it, and said, "These people seem to be relatively tall. ”

Yang Lian nodded, it was true, but unfortunately he couldn't hear their accents and couldn't make a judgment. In order to prevent Guo Rong from having ideas, Yang Lian entered the imperial city and told Li Jing about the matter, and Li Jing agreed that he would lead his henchmen to check the situation around Jinling.

In a short period of time, Yang Lian may not be able to find out anything, but if you give it a try, you can feel at ease. After talking for a while, a few people came in with a few side dishes in their hands.

"Little second brother, this village is quite lively." Chen Tao asked.

"That's, guest officer, not to mention anything else, our village has convenient transportation, and it is close to the Qinhuai River, which is convenient to enter the Yangtze River, and most of the merchants who come and go from the south to the north rest here." The runner was very enthusiastic, and Yang Lian's two big coins just now made him very positive.

"Oh? So have there been a lot of outsiders lately? Especially northerners. Yang Lian asked.

The runner laughed and said, "Guest officer, there is no difference between me and usual. ”

Yang Lian nodded, didn't ask anymore, put down his things and bowed out. Yang Lian and his soldiers ate and filled their stomachs, and looked around the village again. There are indeed too many people coming and going from north to south in the village, and there are accents from all over the place, and for a while, Yang Lian can't tell it.

Perhaps, Guo Rong does not have this idea, or perhaps, Guo Rong's subordinates have infiltrated Jinling. Jinling has a large population, and it is almost impossible to find the hidden people in the vast sea of people. It was almost dusk, and Yang Lian had nothing to gain, so he returned to the city with his own soldiers.

Subsequently, the soldiers sent everywhere also sent back the news, but they also did not find it, Yang Lian got the news and quickly forgot about it. The most important thing now is how to deal with Li Hongji, even if Guo Rong really escapes, there is no way to do it.

After Yang Lian returned to Yang's mansion, as soon as he had eaten, Zeng Yiling brought back a piece of news that Li Hongji had gone to see Empress Zhong.

Yang Lian still has a good impression of Empress Zhong, but his good impression can't be eaten, let alone stop Yang Lian's actions, if Empress Zhong really wants to be an enemy of Yang Lian, he doesn't mind killing Empress Zhong. What interested Yang Lian was that Li Hongji met his mother in person, what did they talk about? It's a pity that Zeng Yiling didn't know that the news from the palace was that before the two talked, Queen Zhong retreated, so only they knew what the two said, and others didn't know it at all.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and pondered, Li Hongji's purpose of entering the palace was definitely not simple, at this time, Yang Lian pointed downstairs and asked, "Look, what is the difference between those people and ordinary people?" ”

Chen Tao walked up first, looked at it, and said, "These people seem to be relatively tall. ”

Yang Lian nodded, it was true, but unfortunately he couldn't hear their accents and couldn't make a judgment. In order to prevent Guo Rong from having ideas, Yang Lian entered the imperial city and told Li Jing about the matter, and Li Jing agreed that he would lead his henchmen to check the situation around Jinling.
