Chapter 616: The Prince Returns to the Dynasty
After listening to his own recital about Su Yi'er being a ghost hidden in the palace, his father didn't even show a trace of surprise, and he didn't ask a word about Su Yi'er's death, which made Yang Guang feel puzzled: Could it be that his father had expected Su Yi'er to have an accident in advance? If this is the case, how can he rest assured that he will continue to stay with Su Yi'er on an errand in Linde Palace?
Fortunately, Yang Jian did not seriously pursue his interrogation of Su Yi'er until his death, and happily agreed to his next ghost hunting plan, which made Yang Guang's once nervous mood temporarily relaxed.
"Ah Zong, in a few days, your eldest brother will return to the court. Because the palace has been haunted recently, and you can find out the ghosts in the palace within one day, and eliminate the problem of elbowing for me, so I have made a preliminary plan to change my previous mind, and when your eldest brother is still facing back, I will order him to officially hand over the case of clearing Guan Zizi to you to preside, do you understand my thoughts? Yang Jian then asked Yang Guang.
Being able to take over the eldest brother and preside over the continued investigation of Guan Zizai's case by himself is something that Yang Guang can't ask for, but he also tastes another meaning from Yang Jian's words: Most of the father has decided to make the eldest brother the commander and lead the army to defeat Chen.
Although it was possible to lose the great opportunity to lead the army to defeat Chen, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel extremely excited when he thought that he could personally uncover the mystery that had shrouded Guan Zizai for many years, and before he could think about it, he replied with a fist: "Erchen respectfully obeys the holy decree, and will live up to the trust of his father, and will wipe out the 'Goose's Nest' and Guan Zizai as soon as possible." ”
"The case of the East Palace...... When your eldest brother returns to the court, you will hand him over as soon as possible, or leave it to him to dispose of. When Yang Guanglin withdrew from the Linde Palace, Yang Jian specially explained to him.
Because his father nodded and agreed to his plan to keep Su Yi'er's death a secret and wait for the rabbit in the palace, Yang Guang didn't even know his mother Dugu Jialuo, so he ordered the 1,000 Qianniu soldiers who were temporarily controlled by him to urgently enter the palace as guards to lay a net all over the palace, waiting for the evil ghost to cast a net.
Before the evil ghost was arrested, Yang Guang had to change the practice of going out of the palace and returning to the house to deal with official business during the day, entrusting all the official affairs in the palace to Zhang Heng to deal with it on his behalf, while he wholeheartedly lived in Lanzhi Palace and waited for the evil ghost to appear again.
Guo Yan still insisted that because Xiao E, the goddess, lived in Lanzhi Palace, that evil ghost would come to Lanzhi Palace sooner or later to provoke, and politely refused other envoys assigned to him by Yang Guang, and still rested during the day every day and was on duty in Lanzhi Palace at night. In this regard, although Yang Guang felt that he was a little ridiculously stubborn, for the sake of the safety of Xiao E's mother and son, he was also happy to have such a tireless forbidden army general Zuo take the initiative to act as their mother and son's personal guard, so he did not dissuade him.
I don't know what the reason is, Yang Guang led a thousand thousand Qianniu soldiers to be on duty in the palace for seven or eight days in a row, but he never found that the evil ghost appeared in the palace again.
scared away the evil ghosts, but the crown prince Yang Yong returned to the court by order.
According to Empress Dugu Jialuo's plan, as soon as Yang Yong returned to Chang'an, he didn't even go back to the East Palace, so he was admitted to Daxing Palace and placed in Jinxiu Palace to live with the crown princess Yuan.
Yang Guangyin received a special explanation from his father Yang Jian a few days ago, and as soon as he heard the news that his eldest brother was still in the court and lived in the Splendid Palace, he thought about transferring Pang Xun's case to the eldest brother as soon as possible, so he took the time to return to the Jin Palace.
Zhang Heng, who was handling official business on behalf of Yang Guang in the Jin Palace, received the report that Yang Guang had returned to his home, and immediately put down the official business at hand, and hurriedly ran to the main hall to ask to see Yang Guang.
Seeing Zhang Heng running to see him so anxiously, Yang Guang knew that something big must happen, so he withdrew all the idle people, leaving Zhang Heng alone in the hall, and asked him: "Jianping, what happened?" ”
Zhang Heng raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, and replied, "Lord Wang, I came to report yesterday and found out the secret of my heart. Xia Guan was thinking that after today's official business, he would enter the palace to invite the prince, and he didn't want the prince to return to the house first, so he specially rushed to explain the details to the prince. ”
"Clean?" Yang Guang couldn't think of such a person for a while, and stared at Zhang Heng suspiciously and asked.
"It's Princess Leping's Buddhist stand-in, and the maid whose name is called the pendant. She has been a monk and nun in Wanshanni Monastery for six years, and with her help, it didn't take her a few days to find out the secret of Xinyi. ”
"Tell me more carefully, what kind of secrets are hidden in Xinyi?" Yang Guang was also quite surprised that Shen'er was able to find out the secret of Xinyi in such a short time, and asked Zhang Hengdao with excitement.
"Xinyi and the former court's powerful minister Yuwen Hu once gave birth to a daughter, and now she is also in Wanshanni Temple, and her Dharma name is Dust."
"Dust? I think I've heard the name somewhere. Yang Guang originally thought that Zhang Heng had discovered the evidence that belonged to Nanchen's secret spy agency "Wild Goose's Nest", but now when he heard that Shen'er came to report that Xinyi had given birth to an illegitimate daughter with the former courtier Yuwen Hu, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and because he vaguely remembered the legal name Chen, he asked Zhang Heng.
"According to the Jing Bao, Lichen had accompanied the former Empress Sima Luo to the north a year ago, and now he is also practicing in Qizhou Tiantai Temple, does the prince remember?"
"Oh!" Yang Guang heard some ways from Zhang Heng's words, and thought to himself: No wonder Xinyi refused to accompany Sima Luo to leave Beijing and go north, it turned out that she sent her daughter to protect Sima Luo, so it seems that Sima Luo does occupy a very important position in Xinyi's mind!
"How many people in Wanshanni Temple know about what you just said?"
Xia Guan also asked Jing the same question, according to her, there are not many people in Wanshanni Temple who know about this matter, except for the two masters who are strict and favorite, that is, the only two or three people who have been concubines and servants in the palace at the same time as Xinyi know the inside story. Lijing still learned about this from a personal maid when she was a concubine in the palace. Zhang Heng replied truthfully.
"Xinyan also knows the truth of this matter? Why haven't you heard the queen mother mention it, is it also ...... the heart is strict" Yang Guang immediately thought that the abbot of Wanshanni Temple, Master Xinyan, was ordered by the queen mother to go to monitor the hundreds of noble ladies of the former dynasty in the temple, and was very surprised that she deliberately concealed this matter for her heart.
"What Xia Guan thought of was that since Xinyi knew the secret of Xinyi, it was like holding a fatal handle of Xinyi in his hand, and he could extort money in the temple without impunity." Zhang Heng calmly reminded Yang Guangdao.
