Sitting in the main hall of Jinyang Palace and looking out, the sky outside the hall had already darkened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Yu Xiaoren left, Yang Guang ordered people to light the lights in the hall, and then opened the letter written by Zhang Xutuo to himself.

As he expected, this was not a thank you letter. Zhang Xutuo didn't even write a word of thanks in the letter. At the same time, to Yang Guang's surprise, the main content of Zhang Xutuo's letter did not involve more of the main task assigned to him by himself - monitoring the mind of the teacher.

He only used a sentence at the beginning of the letter to report to Yang Guang about Mrs. Xinyi's recent actions: Xinyi did not leave the temple, and everything behaved in the temple as usual.

After that, he focused on reporting to Yang Guangyu two things that seemed to have little to do with his serious mission, but were very important:

The first thing is about the death of Liu Yi.

According to Zhang Xutuo's letter, the reason why the emperor left Shu Guogong Liu Yi alone and did not give him death was mainly because Liu Yi had maintained contact with Guan Zizai, the leader of Nanchen's "Wild Goose's Nest", for many years, and specially recalled the prince from the eastern capital, and presided over the trial of Liu Yi because the prince was more familiar with the case than others.

However, Zhang Xutuo also mentioned that the crown prince Yang Yong was a little anxious during the interrogation of Liu Doi, and used a heavy punishment on Liu Doi on the second day of the interrogation, which directly led to Liu Doi's sudden death.

Because this matter is related to the "Wild Goose's Nest" and Guan Zizai, Zhang Xutuo found out the details of the prince's interrogation of Liu Yi through his former Qianniuwei, and wrote a letter to report it to Yang Guang.

Zhang Xutuo also learned that Liu Yi could not survive the punishment, and admitted that he was forced by Guan Zizi in the third year of the emperor's reign, and spent money to buy off a guard of the prison, and sent a bronze Buddha to Xiao Wujian, one of the two protectors of the "Wild Goose's Nest" who was imprisoned in the prison at that time, and as a result, Xiao Wujian committed suicide by swallowing gold. However, Liu Yi confessed to death who Guan Zizi was, and where he was hiding in Chang'an City. He only mentioned that Guan Zizai had sent Zhang Zhongjian to give him instructions, and Liu Yi also knew nothing about Zhang Zhongjian's hiding place.

Reading the letter so far, Yang Guang completely understood: the reason why his father was angry with his eldest brother was mostly because the eldest brother failed to get useful clues about Guan Zizai and other important members of the "Wild Goose's Nest" from Liu Yi's mouth, but instead abused the torture to force Liu Yi to death, making the imperial court cut off Liu Doi, an important clue to break the "Wild Goose's Nest".

For Liu Yi, the Duke of Shu Guo, who had long aroused his suspicions, after reading the report on his sudden death in Zhang Xutuo's letter, Yang Guang felt that he seemed to think highly of him before: from his various behaviors, Liu Yi, the so-called decision-making hero who stepped on two boats, was already a chess piece that could be discarded at any time in Guan Zizai's eyes, not a pivotal figure as he had previously suspected.

Thinking about it along this line of thought, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little confused about his father's practice of sending his eldest brother to the Eastern Capital again because of the unfavorable interrogation of Liu Yi: since it was difficult for anyone to interrogate more valuable clues from Liu Yi's mouth, why didn't his father leave his eldest brother to participate in the government affairs in the court, but sent him to the Eastern Capital again. Could it be that what happened in the Kanto region needs to be dealt with by the eldest brother personally, and it is just a cover to dismiss him for the poor trial of the case?

"Lord Wang, Sister An sent me to ask you, when can I go back to the dormitory to eat?" The maid tiptoed into the hall at some point and asked Yang Guang.

"Oh, it's you." Yang Guang suddenly woke up from his contemplation and replied casually, "You go back and tell Ruoxi, at most half an hour, I will go back." I told her not to wait for me, just eat with a few of you first. ”

After sending Cersei away, Yang Guang continued to read the letter.

Coincidentally, An Ruoxi sent Cersei to urge him to return to the dormitory earlier, but the second thing that Zhang Xutuo reported to him in detail in the letter was related to An Ruoxi.

When Zhang Xutuo mentioned this matter in the letter, he first explained to Yang Guang that he was entrusted by the government to write a letter to Yang Guang to report the matter in detail, and more than half of the content he needed to report next came from the news that Yuzan heard from the palace, so he did not dare to guarantee whether it was accurate or not.

Yang Guangsu knew that Zhang Xutuo was serious, and seeing that he had not mentioned what he wanted to report to him in the letter, he first gave a wordy explanation to Rory, and couldn't help but smile and secretly laugh at Zhang Xutuo's actions.

But then, when he saw clearly that Zhang Xutuo reported to him that his mother was going to force An Ruoxi to commit suicide the day after giving birth, Yang Guang couldn't laugh anymore.

Although from the eldest sister's deliberate evasion of mentioning why she took An Ruoxi north to merge with her, Yang Guang had vaguely guessed that there must have been an unhappy quarrel between An Ruoxi and the queen mother Dugu Jialuo again, so that An Ruoxi didn't even care about the newborn child and followed the eldest sister to Bingzhou.

However, Yang Guang never expected that the queen mother, who had always loved him the most, would force An Ruoxi to commit suicide the day after An Ruoxi gave birth to her son. There must be a good reason for this, otherwise how will the world view this queen of the world!

Yang Guang held his breath and stared, and quickly looked for the answer he was desperately looking for in Zhang Xutuo's letter. Finally, near the end of the letter, Zhang Xutuo wrote about the reason why the queen was in a hurry to execute An Ruoxi: she was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. I looked down a little further, but I couldn't find it anymore.

Collaboration?!

Until now, after so many years, the queen mother is still suspecting that An Ruoxi is the eyeliner that Yuwen Panruo planted beside her?!

Yang Guang read this paragraph in the letter, and the first thought that flashed in his mind was that the queen mother was taking revenge on An Ruoxi.

He then read this paragraph of the letter many times, and the more he read it, the more he felt that it was impossible for the queen mother to force An Ruoxi to commit suicide because she suspected that she was collaborating with the enemy: if that was the case, the queen mother would not have to wait for her to give birth to a child before executing her.

In the end, Yang Guang decided to go back to the dormitory and ask An Ruoxi in person what happened in the palace that day, and why the queen mother forced her to commit suicide just after she gave birth. After all, Zhang Xutuo had repeatedly explained in the letter: about this matter, he only wrote a letter to Yang Guang based on the news that Yuzan had inquired from the palace, and could not ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the news. As a party to this matter, An Ruoxi can only learn the truth of this incident from her mouth, and it will be more conducive to finding out the real reason why the queen mother forced An Ruoxi to die.

At the moment when Yang Guang got up and walked outside the hall, from somewhere outside the main hall of Jinyang Palace, an eagle's cry suddenly sounded. Yang Guang heard the eagle's cry unexpectedly, and it was like a thunderbolt sounding in the flat ground in his mind, and the whole person was frozen at once.
