Chapter 699: A Shocking Case (5)

Chang'an, Hengshan Palace, Li Chengdao arranged a sumptuous banquet, banqueting Shen Guang, Zhang Shuyin, Lai Heng, Xiao Xinyu, Qi Lianshan and others, at the banquet, Shen Guang and Zhang Shuyin took turns to toast Li Chengdao and Chen Zhen'er.

"Come, come, come! Ladies and gentlemen, two strong men, this king and you have gone through hardships and dangers in Hangzhou, but fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of you, we can turn the danger into a disaster and successfully report this matter to Chang'an! Come! This king toasts everyone! ”

"Lord Wang, please!" Shen Guang, Lai Heng, Xiao Xinyu, Qi Lianshan and others raised their wine glasses and saluted Li Chengdao in return. Only Zhang Shuyin said to Li Chengdao and Chen Zhen'er:

"Lord Wang! Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Chen! Today, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow this glass of wine to thank the prince for clearing the grievances of the Chen family, and also bless the marriage between the prince and Miss Chen! Qi Lianshan and Shen Guang also picked up their wine glasses and coaxed together.

"Yes! I want to call Miss Chen today, and I may call Princess in the future! Right! ”

"Yes! The prince is young and handsome, and Miss Chen is handsome, what a natural pair! "Qi Lianshan and Shen Guang advocated harmony. made Chen Zhen'er's face flushed. It's just that after Xiao Xinyu heard the words of Qi Lianshan and Shen Guang, he put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and the sound was quite loud, and everyone on the table could see that Xiao Xinyu was very unhappy. Li Chengdao knew in his heart that Yang Yan had been arranging the marriage between Li Chengdao and Xiao Yu's granddaughter, but Li Jiancheng had never responded, and kept saying that it depended on Li Chengdao's own intentions. It's just that Li Chengdao has been shirking all along, and now Li Chengdao and Chen Zhen'er are ambiguous, and Qi Lianshan and Shen Guang, Xiao Xin, Zhang Shuyin and others are fueling the trouble. It's strange that Xiao Xinyu feels comfortable. Chen Zhen'er's heart is also very melancholy, because, in front of Li Jiancheng, Chen Zhen'er has already made an oath that she must not be with Li Chengdao, once this matter is over, she will become a monk, either for the nun or for the Tao, when the time comes, can the three thousand green silk on her head stay on her head? Thinking of this, Chen Zhen'er's eyes flashed a few more shiny 'beads'. Chen Zhen'er's reaction was in Li Chengdao's eyes, and Li Chengdao was distressed when he saw it. Lee Seung-do deliberately changed the subject:

"Shen Zhuangshi, I have always wanted to know about your life, why don't you tell Shen Zhuangshi about your life!"

"Oh! Lord Wang, in the next word is always held, is a Wuxing person! It was also the first ...... of the scholarly family back then" In Shen Guang's introduction, Li Chengdao slowly learned about Shen Guang's life. Shen Guang's father, Shen Jundao, was a servant of the Chen Dynasty's officials. During the Kaihuang period, after the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty, Shen Jundao was ordered to move to Chang'an because he was an official of the Chen Dynasty. When Shen Guang was young, he was brave and agile, good at horse racing, and was the first in the world. Shen Guang has the talent of a secretary, is good at words, often thinks about establishing fame, and he is not informal, and likes to make friends with heroic people. So when I came to Chang'an, I met a lot of prodigal children in Chang'an City. Shen Guang had a good kung fu and could ride horses, so the prodigal children in Chang'an City at that time were very supportive and attached to Shen Guang. Many people had given him possessions, so that Shen Guang was able to support his parents, and he often had good food and gorgeous clothes, so that he would not be destitute. As Shen Guang's fame in Chang'an grew, he attracted the attention of the sons of Emperor Wen of Sui and Yang Jian, and was first introduced to Yang Yong, the crown prince of Emperor Wen of Sui, and Yang Yong recommended him as a bachelor. However, Shen Guang was reluctant to engage in literature and book copying, and later Shen Jundao served as the palace of Yang Liang, the king of Han. was deeply valued by Yang Liang, and later because of the failure of Yang Liang's rebellion, Shen Jundao was implicated and removed from the people. During the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty recruited brave and warlike people in the world to crusade against Goryeo, and Shen Guang also signed up to participate. There are tens of thousands of people who signed up at the same time, and they are not as good as Shen Guang. Shen Guang wanted to go to the place where Emperor Yang of Sui was to meet him, and more than 100 people rode horses to send him to Bashang. Shen Guang poured wine on the ground and made an oath: 'If I can't establish a reputation on this trip, I will die in Goryeo and never see you again.' When Shen Guang followed Emperor Yang of Sui to attack Goryeo, he attacked the city with a ladder that was fifteen zhang long, and Shen Guang climbed to the top and engaged the enemy by the city wall, killing more than a dozen people in close combat. The enemy soldiers knocked him down the city wall, and before he fell to the ground, he happened to touch the rope hanging down the ladder, Shen Guang grabbed the rope and climbed up again. When Emperor Yang of Sui saw it, he was amazed at his heroism and summoned him to come to the court, where he liked him very much. On the same day, he appointed him as a court doctor, rewarded him with a treasure sword and a good horse, and often took him with him, and the relationship gradually became closer. It didn't take long for Emperor Yang of Sui to let Shen Guang serve as the general of Zhichong, and the rewards were very generous. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty often rewarded him with the food he was eating and the clothes he was wearing, and no one among his colleagues could compare with him. When he talked about this, Shen Guang's expression was a little gloomy.

"At the beginning, the former Sui Emperor treated me with the grace of undressing, who knows, Yu Wenhua and the traitor, actually killed the king in Jiangdu, unfortunately, I was not in the palace at the time, later, Yu Wenhua and was beaten out of Jiangdu by the division of the king of Qin from all over the country, but, no one wanted to avenge the emperor, I accepted Luo Yi Yong, and secretly dated Mai Mengcai, Qian Jie and others to assassinate Yu Wenhua and, who knew that someone was told Yu Wenhua and ventilation in advance, Mai Mengcai, Qian Jie and others were killed, and I was also seriously injured. Fortunately, I met Brother Chen and was rescued by Brother Chen. Who knows, when the Chen family was killed, I didn't catch up, hey! In my life, I really owe a debt! Seeing Shen Guang's gloomy expression, Chen Zhen'er immediately toasted Shen Guang and secretly guarded Shen Guang:

"Brother Shen, Zhen'er doesn't blame you for what happened at the beginning!" Li Chengdao also comforted Shen Guang. Lee Seung-do's actions seriously irritated a person at the wine table. Xiao Xinyu returned to Xiao Mansion and came to the outside of Xiao Yu's room.

"Please report to grandpa, grandson Xiao Xinyu came to say hello to grandpa." Xiao Yu heard that Xiao Xinyu was back, and she always wanted to ask about Xiao Xinyu's situation by Li Chengdao's side, but now, Xiao Xinyu came by herself, so she naturally wanted to ask about the situation.

"Xinyu! How are you following His Royal Highness down to the south? ”

"Grandfather, grandson and His Royal Highness went to the south this time, and as a result, something bad happened to His Highness! ......" Xiao Yu saw that Xiao Xinyu's face was a little wrong, and immediately asked Xiao Xinyu:

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Xinyu told Xiao Yu what he saw and heard in the Jiangnan area, and of course, he also added fuel and vinegar to himself.

"What? His Royal Highness brought back a demon girl from the south, and it was unreasonable to risk his life for him. Xiao Xinyu persuaded next to Xiao Yu:

"Grandpa! What I care about now is not this, the most important thing is that we have always hoped to marry Hanyan to His Royal Highness, looking at His Highness's attitude towards that demon girl, it seems that this woman has a high status in His Highness's heart! If that demon girl is allowed to succeed, then it will be detrimental to His Highness's succession! Xiao Yu nodded.

"Hmmm! What you said is not wrong, tomorrow, I will enter the palace immediately, go to see your cousin, and strive to settle the marriage between Hanyan and His Royal Highness, in addition, in two days there will be a big court meeting, I must let Your Majesty drive that demon girl away from His Royal Highness! Xiao Xinyu nodded. Early the next morning, Xiao Yu came to Yang Yan's bedroom.

"See the mother!"

"Uncle, hurry up, please."

"Xie Guifei Niangniang!"

"What is the reason why Uncle is here today!?" Xiao Yu's eyes looked around. Yang Yan smiled and said to Xiao Yu:

"Uncle, these are all my cronies, don't worry!"

"! I heard that the prince of Hengshan went out and brought back a woman! "Yang Yan said in her heart - 'It seems that the news that Dao'er brought back a woman from the south has spread fast enough.' The news that Lee Chengdao and a woman were received by Li Jiancheng in the Xuanzheng Hall spread everywhere like wings. No, it's all spread outside the palace. And Yang Yan also knew that Xiao Yu must have come here for her granddaughter Xiao Hanyan.

"Uncle, actually, I've already told the emperor a few times about this matter, so be it! I'll talk to the emperor when I have the chance. As the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the concubine of the current emperor, Yang Yan has seen too much of the sinister in the court, and knows very well that Li Jiancheng has always been afraid of the power of the princes. Especially when Pei Lian, Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu invited Li Jiancheng to establish the crown prince in Youzhou, Li Jiancheng was afraid that the strength of Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu would affect Li Jiancheng's own imperial power, and he never dared to openly mention that the marriage between Li Chengdao and Xiao Yu's granddaughter was afraid, causing Li Jiancheng and Li Chengdao to suspect each other. At the beginning, Yang Jian and Yang Yong were like this, which made Yang Yong end tragically, and after Yang Guang ascended the throne, it was also because he suspected that the second emperor brother at that time, Yang Yong, the king of Qi, had the ambition to compete for the position of the prince, and suppressed Yang Yong, which made Yang Zhengdao have a grudge against his grandmother and grandfather, and Empress Dowager Xiao has always regretted it. Seeing that Yang Yan's tone was a little perfunctory, Xiao Yu's heart was a little dissatisfied.

"! Chengdao may inherit the throne after the succession, and his concubine is going to be the queen, that woman was born in a small peasant household, when the time comes, it will definitely become the weakness of the hundred officials to attack Chengdao, only Hanyan is noble, Niangniang, you have to decide! Yang Yan also knows this in her heart, but if Li Chengdao really marries Xiao Hanyan at that time, will Li Jiancheng be happy? Yang Yan didn't dare to imagine.

"Uncle! I know what you said, I will mention Chen Zhen'er's matter to Your Majesty. As for the matter of Chengdao and Hanyan getting married, only Chengdao and His Majesty can call the shots! I, I have my own problems! After listening to Yang Yan's words, Xiao Yu knew that this was the best result, and if she continued to talk about it, I was afraid that it would be unnecessary, so she got up and said goodbye.
