As early as a month ago, the crown prince Yang Yong wrote to his father because of his high morality, persuading him to abdicate, and the matter of passing on the throne to himself was almost driven out of Chang'an by Yang Jian, and was sent to Kanto in the name of leaving the eastern capital of the town.

At first, Yang Yong was quite dissatisfied with his father's eagerness to drive him out of Beijing, and on the way to Luoyang, the eastern capital, he hurriedly left Chang'an and complained to his cronies and palace officials more than once that his father did not distinguish between right and wrong, and did not argue between truth and falsehood.

Later, Tang Ling, the prince's left concubine, who followed Yang Yong out of the town together, could no longer bear Yang Yong's constant complaints and nagging, so he had to find an opportunity to get along with Yang Yong alone, and explained to Yang Yong in detail the reasons why Yang Jian would adopt this attitude to deal with Gao De's book, in order to dispel the misunderstanding that his father had already had, and at the same time to avoid this small setback in front of him that made Yang Yong pout, and even one day he would really lose the position of prince in the future.

"Your Highness, please think about it, as soon as Gao De's book came out, even the peddlers and pawns on the streets of Chang'an could see that this matter was not done at the behest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone the current saint?" Tang Ling closed the door and nodded Yang Yongdao.

"Then why did my father indiscriminately drive the three princes in Chang'an out of Chang'an, especially for the main palace, and didn't even give the opportunity to resign to the queen mother in front of Zhengyang Palace, so he drove the palace to the eastern capital so inexplicably?" Yang Yong was even more resentful in his chest because of Tang Lingze's words, and shook his head and retorted.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, and listen to the detailed explanation of the lower official." Tang Lingze has followed Yang Yong since he was canonized as the prince of Sui, and is very familiar with Yang Yong's cowardly, conservative, and suspicious character, and calmly persuaded Yang Yong, "Let's start with the overall situation of the court, now that the Eastern Turkic Sha Bolu Khan has clearly declared himself a vassal to the imperial court, and the emperor has agreed to his request to use troops to the west to help him destroy the Apo Khan tribe, so according to His Royal Highness, after helping Sha Bo Lu to destroy the Apo tribe, what is the most important thing the emperor wants to do?" Conquer Nanchen and realize the unification of the north and south of China. This is also the real reason why the emperor intends to appoint the crown prince out of the eastern capital. ”

"Could it be that my father intends to make this palace the commander, and he will send troops to destroy Nanchen in the future? But there is no need to drive the palace from Chang'an to the Eastern Capital without leaving any dignity. Yang Yong stared at Tang Lingze with his eyes, trying to find the answer he wanted from his face.

"Maybe it's too early to dwell on it." Tang Ling was obviously reluctant to talk to Yang Yong about this topic, and promptly brought the words back to another reason, "And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can put himself in the emperor's shoes and consider it, you will find that the emperor is eager to send His Royal Highness out of the eastern capital of the town, and it is the first one who chooses His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from this matter and protects you." ”

"You must know that before being driven out of Chang'an, the palace was presiding over the government for my father, coordinating the use of troops in the western frontier, and implementing military and political events such as the Dasuo Maung Yue, you actually said that my father drove the palace out of Chang'an to protect the palace, isn't it a joke?" Yang Yong snorted disdainfully.

Having said that, Yang Yong still didn't look at the slightest bit of self-awareness, Tang Ling sighed in his heart, and was forced to reluctantly analyze to Yang Yong several situations that might be caused by Gao De's book.

On the day that Xiaguan left Chang'an with the prince and left the eastern capital of the town, he heard that Gao Dejin's letter of advice to the emperor appeared near the twelve gates of Chang'an without exception, so that the possibility of Gao De spontaneously writing to persuade the emperor to be uploaded to the prince was greatly ruled out. I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

"Unless Gao De is a madman, he will never post a letter to his father all over the city and swagger to pass away." Yang Yong nodded and recognized Tang Lingze's judgment.

"Since the possibility of Gao De's spontaneous letter has been ruled out, that is to say, Gao De's letter to persuade the emperor to abdicate was instructed by others, His Royal Highness might as well think about it from the perspective of the emperor, who do you think is most likely to instruct Gao De to do such a rebellious and rebellious thing?" Tang Ling tried his best to avoid directly saying the suspect who instructed Gao De to write from his mouth, and deliberately induced Yang Yongdao.

"Those former ministers in Chang'an City who are full of food all day long and have nothing to do." Yang Yong blurted out without thinking.

"What else?"

"There are also the meticulous works and spies planted in Chang'an City by various foreign countries, especially the 'goose's nest' in Nan Chen, which is most likely to instigate Gao De to write a book to separate my father and son and confuse the dynasty." Yang Yong's brain is not stupid, and under the guidance of Tang Lingze, he suspected that he had found the "Goose's Nest".

Seeing that Tang Lingze was still silent, Yang Yong lowered his head and thought about it again, then suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "You shouldn't suspect Ah Zong and Ah Liang, right?" ”

Tang Ling looked at Yang Yong with a smile and was noncommittal.

"Oh, think about things from my father's point of view...... Gao De wrote to persuade his father to pass on the throne to the palace, so the most likely to benefit from it are Ah Zong, Ah Lang, and even Ah Yi and A Xiu, who are likely to succeed the palace and be canonized as the crown prince by their father...... Indeed, it cannot be ruled out that one of them instructed Gao De to write a book. Yang Yong finally figured out the possibility behind the incident of Gao De's book.

Once all the possibilities of this matter were considered, the crown prince Yang Yong also regained his senses, and An An settled in the eastern capital.

But it didn't take long for Yang Yong to know whether it was a whim, or he was anxious to clear up the relationship between himself and Gao De's book, and passed down a strict order to launch a strict investigation of Gao De among more than a dozen state capitals under the rule of the Eastern Capital, and strive to arrest Gao De in his own hands.

Different from the various complaints against Yang Yong before coming to Dongdu, Tang Ling spoke highly of and strongly supported Yang Yong's practice of ordering the arrest of Gao De.

As for the body that was later found on the bank of the Yiluo River, which was suspected to be Gao De himself, Yang Yong was not 100% sure that the male corpse that was swollen in the river was Gao De, but Tang Ling tried his best to encourage Yang Yong to report the news of Gao De's drowning to the imperial court as soon as possible.

"If my father sends someone to check and finds that this male corpse is not Gao De himself, won't this palace bear the sin of bullying the king?" Yang Yong was worried that reporting the news of Gao De's drowning too early would cause trouble for him, so he asked Tang Lingze in confusion.

"Your Royal Highness, but you need to consider this matter from the perspective of a bystander: just imagine, Gao De's letter is to persuade the emperor to pass on the throne to the crown prince, and the emperor immediately sent the prince to the eastern capital where Gao De settled out of the town, and now it is the prince who first discovered that Gao De has died, so that the matter of Gao De's book has developed so far, can't it be a successful end?" Tang Ling explained to Yang Yong leisurely, "Not only that, Gao De drowned under the rule of the crown prince, and even the brothers such as the King of Jin and the King of Qin were also freed from suspicion, and they will all thank you for this kindness in their hearts." The most important thing is that the emperor will only turn a blind eye to Gao De's death, and will never send someone to verify the true identity of the drowned person. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
