As far as Yang Jian is concerned, he was dissuaded by Gao Ying and other ministers, temporarily dispelled the idea of deposing his eldest son Yang Yong and replacing his second son Yang Guang as the crown prince, and did not want Yang Guang to stay longer in Chang'an, so he agreed to Yang Guang's request to return to Guangling without much trouble.

As far as Yang Guang is concerned, after a heart-to-heart conversation with Princess Xiao Er yesterday, he realized the dangerous situation he is in now, and just took the opportunity of Zhang Heng to send someone to Chang'an to report the loss of contact with Li Jing and others, and proposed his resignation to Yang Jian, so as to leave Chang'an, the land of right and wrong, return to Guangling, and wholeheartedly care for the south of the Yangtze River.

Although the father and son tacitly agreed and hit it off, at the same time, Yang Jian had to take into account the feelings of Empress Dugu Jialuo, and after agreeing to all the requests made by Yang Guang, he reminded him to go to Zhengyang Palace with Yang Xiu to bid farewell to his mother, and persuaded Dugu Jialuo to promise to leave Beijing and return to Guangling on the same day that Yang Guang was released.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Yang Guang did not know very well whether Xiao E had entered the palace to meet his eldest sister Yang Lihua, and persuaded her not to report the news related to the death of the prince and the Yuan family to her mother for the time being, and walked out of the Linde Hall side by side with Yang Xiu and the two brothers.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but when I see you today, don't blame the little brother for talking too much." The two brothers walked outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace, Yang Xiu suddenly restrained his smile, and said to Yang Guang seriously, "The reason why the second brother returned to Beijing this time has also heard of it, and I sincerely advise the second brother not to fight for the position of the East Palace with the eldest brother, otherwise, the third brother and the fifth brother will never agree." After that, he didn't wait for Yang Guang to answer, and took the lead in striding into Zhengyang Palace.

It turned out that he hadn't seen him for ten years, and Yang Xiu hadn't changed in the slightest, and he was still full of hostility towards himself. Yang Guang didn't intend to explain more to Yang Xiu, shook his head with a wry smile, and followed him into the gate of Zhengyang Palace.

As Yang Jian expected, Empress Dugu Jialuo heard that Yang Guang was going to leave Beijing and return to Guangling today, so she put down her face on the spot, kept him and said: "What big things can Jiangnan have, you have to go back to deal with it in person?" Come back from afar, you have to accompany your mother to live in Chang'an for a month or two before leaving, no, you can't leave today. ”

Yang Xiu listened to this, and couldn't help but say with pantothenic acid: "Second brother, you just listen to the mother's advice, if the second brother is missing from tonight's banquet, I'm worried that the queen mother won't be able to drink a bottle of wine." ”

Yang Guang observed his words and looks, and had already seen that the queen mother did not seem to have learned the truth that it was the eldest brother Yang Courage who had died of the Yuan family, so he put his mind at ease and patiently persuaded her: "The son of the minister returned to the court this time, but he actually sent Er'er back to Beijing to accompany the queen mother, plus there are two babies Zhao'er and Jian'er, does the queen mother still feel that the side is not lively enough?" Jiangnan really has a very urgent matter and is anxious to wait for the sons to go back to preside, and there can be no delay for a moment, so I implore the queen mother to allow the sons to leave today and return to Guangling. ”

"Tell your mother, what happened to Jiangnan?" Perhaps reminded by Yang Guang, thinking that after his son left, there was still his favorite daughter-in-law Xiao E and two imperial grandsons to stay by his side, Dugu Jialuo's tone loosened a little, but he still refused to spit out and let Yang Guang leave Chang'an that day, and asked him with a stiff face.

"Does the queen mother remember that Li Jing?" Yang Guang was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that he had reported to his mother that Li Jing had helped him buy the house from Yang Su and prevented Yang Jian from going to the palace to seek pleasure, so he explained to Dugu Jialuo, "The son of the minister was still in front of the court, and he ordered Li Jing to go out on an errand, but he didn't expect to report it today, Li Jing was nowhere to be found, and there was no news of him again." The queen mother knew that a few years ago, her son had wrongly blamed Li Jing's father, Li Quan, who was the assassin of the Fenzhou assassin at the time, for the assassination of the Turkic Shabalu Khan at Fenheyi, and this time she could no longer ignore Li Jing's life and death. ”

"Li Jing? Oh, my mother remembered it, but the baby who made great contributions to the case of Liu Yi and other three rebellions in the imperial court? This baby is very painful, what's the matter, is he in danger? ”

"It's not just that Li Jing's life and death are unknown, the whole thing is related to the investigation of the remnants of Nanchen and the great plan of Fusui Jiangnan, and the sons have to return to Guangling to preside!" Yang Guang saw that his mother's mind was enlivened by his own words, so he took advantage of the situation and pleaded with her in an aggravated tone.

"So, you can't even accompany your mother at tonight's banquet?" Dugu Jialuo looked at Yang Guang reluctantly and asked softly.

"Thank you to the Queen Mother for your success. The son then said goodbye to his mother. Yang Guangsheng was afraid that his mother would change his hexagram, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted Dugu Jialuo, turned around and walked out.

"Ah Zong, come back, my mother still has something to say to you."

Yang Guang had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

"From now on, including Ah Xiu." Dugu Jialuo glanced at his fourth son Yang Xiu, who was sour, and slowly said to the two sons, "You must go back to the Hajj once a year to see you, and accompany your mother to live in Chang'an for a longer time, if you can agree to this, your mother will let you go." ”

These words mean nothing to Yang Xiu, who is going to lead the Northern Expedition tomorrow, but in fact, he said it to Yang Guang alone.

At this time, as long as Yang Guang was willing to let his mother leave Chang'an as soon as possible, no matter what conditions she proposed, he would agree to it, and immediately gave a deep salute to Dugu Jialuo, said "The queen mother cherishes", and turned around and walked out again.

Yang Guang was worried about going back to the house to meet Xiao E, and waiting for the exact result of her meeting with Yang Lihua before she could leave Chang'an and return to Guangling with confidence, so he walked out of the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, and walked forward with his head down, not realizing that a little palace maid about fourteen or fifteen years old was waiting for him outside the palace gate, and almost passed by her.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" The little palace maid spoke a crisp Wu Nong soft language and stopped Yang Guang.

"Ah, what's the matter with you?" Yang Guang turned his head and saw that it was a little palace maid he didn't know calling him, and blurted out.

"My family, Mrs. Xuanhua, would like to invite Her Royal Highness to meet you in Jinse Palace."

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right?" Yang Guang couldn't help but have a beautiful shadow in his mind, but he hesitated to refuse.

"My wife just wants to ask His Royal Highness to bring some gold and silver back to Jiangnan to pick up Princess Lechang and his wife, and she has no other meaning, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it." The little palace maid seemed to see through the little thoughts that Yang Guangshen had buried in her heart, and explained to him with a smile while covering her mouth.

"Okay, then." Yang Guang didn't know why, he could feel his cheeks hot, his heart was pounding, knowing that there were still many things wrong, but his two legs couldn't help but follow the little palace maid, and followed her in the direction of Jinse Palace.
