After sending Li Jing away, Yang Guanglai paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about Li Jing's somewhat abnormal behavior today: there is no doubt that the reason why Li Jing went and returned in less than half a day, specially came to report to himself that Liang Mo deliberately concealed the clue of the source, and asked himself to allow him to investigate Liang Mo, obviously because he sought his own support and asylum, but according to the impression he had after contacting Li Jing in the past two days, he did not seem to be a timid and afraid person.

Thinking about it from another angle, Yang Guang guessed the real reason why Li Jing came so urgently to show his merits: he did this to prove to himself that he was capable of helping him to investigate the Fenhe post assassination case, and at the same time to clear his father Li Quan's guilt.

This little Li Jing really has this filial piety, in order to save his father, he can do anything! Yang Guang involuntarily had a good impression of Li Jing in his heart.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and the voice of Princess Xiao Er came into Yang Guang's ears: "The prince is alone in this palace, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, I'm thinking about how to help my eldest brother investigate the case." Yang Guang turned around and replied with a smile, "Princess, why are you here?" What about Zhao'er? ”

"Zhao'er is brought by a few of them, I'm here to see if the prince is done, and I have a few words I want to say to the prince." Xiao E also said with a smile.

"In that case, Princess, please be seated."

After the husband and wife took their seats in the hall, Xiao Er spoke: "Maybe it's a little early to say this. Before the prince returned to Beijing this time, I listened to the queen mother's intentions, and I had the intention of leaving Zhao'er in Chang'an Palace for a long time to raise it personally, so I ......"

"So, the princess also wants to stay in Chang'an and raise Zhao'er to grow up, right?" Yang Guang picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and asked.

"I do have this meaning, but at the same time, I am also worried that the prince will return to Bingzhou alone, and there is no one around him who knows the cold and the heat to take care of him, so I want to ask the prince to show his father and live in Chang'an for a few more days, and after Ruoxi gives birth, I want her to return to Bingzhou with the prince."

"The princess doesn't have to worry about this matter for the time being, yesterday I received a new envoy from my father, and I will live in Chang'an for at least three or two months. As for which of you will follow me back to the state in three or two months, it will be too late to discuss it later. Yang Guang felt a little strange that Xiao E came to talk to him about wanting An Ruoxi to return to the state with him, and said casually.

"That's exactly what I'm going to talk to the prince. During the time that the prince is in Chang'an, can he do less errands and accompany his parents, wife and children more? ”

"The princess doesn't know, as early as five years ago, I was ordered by my father to preside over the investigation of a murder case, and so far I have not arrested the mastermind behind this murder case, so I begged my father to give me an order to use the opportunity of returning to the court to continue to investigate the case thoroughly to understand the long-cherished wish in my heart." Yang Guang saw that Xiao E's face was not good, and hurriedly explained, "However, please rest assured, the princess, I have promised my father yesterday that I will enter the palace in the morning and evening to greet my father and queen mother, and I will try to leave more time to go back to the house to accompany you and Zhao'er." ”

"Actually, Lord Wang, what I want to remind you is that you must not forget that the Lord is still the governor of the state, and the envoy handed over to you by the Emperor is still to deal with the Turks, not anything else like investigating murders. Xiao E obviously said these words solemnly to Yang Guang after thinking about it repeatedly.

"Wrong errand?" Yang Guang smiled disapprerovingly, "The princess must know that the investigation of Nan Chen's fine work hidden in Chang'an City and the mastermind behind the killing of Master Huizhen was originally an errand that I did not finish, how could the princess say that I did the wrong errand?" ”

Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, stared at Xiao E, and asked tentatively: "The princess persuaded me not to interfere in other court affairs, could it be that there is something else hidden?" ”

"The prince is too worried. I'm just worried that the prince is tired, out of the town and the state for five years, it is easy to go back to Chang'an, and because of the errand matter, it is difficult to fulfill filial piety by the side of the father and the queen mother, and it is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses, so I persuaded the prince more. Please also ask the prince to seriously consider my words, and excuse himself as soon as possible to investigate the case. Xiao E was stunned by Yang Guang's question, and then explained with a smile.

"Okay. The investigation of the case is still presided over by the eldest brother, because the eldest brother has been busy with court affairs recently, and my father ordered me to assist the eldest brother. What the princess just said is not unreasonable, and I will try my best to explain the specific things to my subordinates in the future, so that I can leave more time to accompany your mother and son. Let's go and see Zhao'er together. Yang Guang didn't notice that Xiao E was deliberately concealing the real reason for dissuading him from investigating the case, stood up, stretched out his hand to help Xiao E, and the husband and wife walked side by side outside the hall.

Five days later, the Eastern Turkic Shabalu Khan, who had received a personal promise from Emperor Yang Jian of Sui to help him send troops to destroy the Apo tribe, left Chang'an, set off for his journey, and returned to the Turks.

Yang Guang personally sent the photo to the Bahe Bridge ten miles outside the new capital of Chang'an, and then said goodbye to Yin Yin, and returned to the city on horseback.

When Yang Guang rode into the Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an, and as soon as he turned into Zhuque Street, about to enter the palace to greet his father and queen mother, he flew behind him and swept past a person and a horseman, and the people on horseback were still shouting: "Give way, give way, six hundred miles from Jiangling are expedited......

Hearing that it was a six-hundred-mile rush from Jiangling, the capital of the Later Liang Kingdom, Yang Guang's heart sank sharply, and he immediately hurried up, and followed the man in the direction of Beidaxing Palace in Chang'an City.

According to the practice of the imperial court, all urgent documents submitted from various places outside Chang'an must first be submitted to the Menxia Province set up in the Daxing Palace by the government office, and then the court officials on duty in the Menxia Province will decide whether to immediately submit them to the emperor according to the situation. But today, the scout Yang Guanglu met who rushed back to Chang'an to report the news was quite different, almost tumbling and dismounting outside the gate of Daxing Palace, and shouted at the forbidden army guarding the palace gate: "Go quickly to report to the emperor, the lord of Houliang has died!" ”

Yang Guang was not far behind this person, and he heard it so vividly that he felt a "bang" in his head and almost fell off the horse.

The lord of Houliang is none other than Yang Guang's father-in-law, Xiao Yue, whom he has never met. Although he had just returned to the court, Yang Guang heard that his father-in-law Xiao Yue was seriously ill, and in order to prevent accidents, his father Yang Jian also specially let Xiao Zong, the prince of Houliang who had been living in Chang'an for many years (actually a hostage), return to Jiangling, but he never thought that only a few days later, Xiao Yue would die so quickly.
