After Yang Jian heard the news, he hurried to Zhengyang Palace to visit, and it was reported that the imperial doctor was a good student to treat the queen, but Dugu Jialuo still couldn't afford to be sick, and he didn't eat a drop of water for several days, and he only talked about going to see Yang Jun for the last time.

The queen mother was sick and bedridden all day long, so the brothers Yang Yong and Yang Guang had to take turns to serve in front of the bed, persuading Dugu Jialuo to take care of his body, and not to grieve too much because of Yang Jun's death.

Now that the truth about Yang Jun's poisoning has been ascertained, it is natural to discuss how to deal with the Cui family, who poisoned her husband. According to Yang Jian's original intention, he wanted to take advantage of the execution of Cui's to breathe a sigh of relief for the queen, which would help the queen recover physically and mentally as soon as possible.

However, when he rushed to Zhengyang Palace to ask Dugu Jialuo for his opinion on dealing with Cui's family, he didn't expect Dugu Hou to disagree with Cui's immediate execution.

With the support of Yang Guang and Xiao E, Dugu Hou sat up on the sickbed and said to Yang Jian in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, although the Cui family is guilty of not punishable, she was born in the Boling Cui family, the world's highest family, if the emperor kills her, he is afraid of causing the dissatisfaction of the world's high families with the imperial court, which is not conducive to the realization of the emperor's grand cause, and there have been cases of discussing nobles and relatives in the past dynasties, so the concubines advocate that it is appropriate to leave Cui's life." ”

Yang Jian saw that Dugu was sick in bed, and he still remembered to think about the Jiangshan Society of the Great Sui, and felt that he was in tears, and pulled Dugu Jialuo to nod again and again, but he couldn't say a word.

Two days later, the Princess Cui of Qin, who poisoned her husband, got the result of being stripped of her title and imprisoned for life.

Although Yang Jun's death has settled so far, what Yang Guang never expected was that he himself became the target of various rumors that were spreading in the streets and alleys of Chang'an because he presided over the investigation of Yang Jun's death.

With the increasing spread of the truth that Yang Jun died in the princess Cui, various gossip about the investigator Yang Guang also aroused great interest among the people of Chang'an.

Among these rumors, which are like the end of Qingping, which came from nowhere, there are accusations that Yang Guang does not miss brotherhood, and is bent on instigating the emperor to open the coffin for an autopsy, so that King Qin will not be at peace after his death; It is said that Yang Guang was dissatisfied with the Gaomen family in Hebei and Kanto as early as when he left Hebei, and this time he took revenge on the Gaomen family in Hebei and Kanto by taking advantage of Cui's poisoning of his husband; What's more, there are rumors that Yang Guang is blamed for Yang Jun's death, Cui's solitary confinement, and the queen's bedriddenness, scolding him for being a cruel prince who is disloyal, unfilial, and has no mercy......

Yang Guang himself has not heard much of the various rumors that have been circulating outside the palace because he has been serving and taking care of the queen mother of Zhengyang Palace all day long, but Pei Yun felt that the comer was not good after hearing these rumors that were spreading more and more evilly, and hurriedly entered the palace to see Yang Guang, reported these rumors to Yang Guang, and persuaded him: "Lord Wang, the officials expect that these rumors against the prince are by no means groundless, and someone must want to use the matter of King Qin to tarnish the reputation of the prince in front of the people of the world and achieve their ulterior motives." According to the current situation in Chang'an, Xia Guan advised the prince to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible to avoid the limelight. ”

Yang Guang was already furious when he heard the rumors that Pei Yun had relayed to him when he entered the palace, and at this time he heard Pei Yun persuade him to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible to avoid the limelight, so he was even more angry and scolded: "Shameless young people, why be afraid? Now that my mother is ill, if I return to Jiangnan at this time, I still have a reputation for unfilial piety? Chongzhi, you bring someone to carefully investigate for me, but if you find the person who spreads rumors and tarnishes my reputation, I will kill him with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

Pei Yun saw that Yang Guang was angry, so he got up and held him a bowl of tea, and apologized to him: "What the prince said is true, the prince returned to Jiangnan before his body recovered, and it is indeed easy to attract criticism, and this matter is indeed negligent on the part of the lower officials." Please forgive the lower officials for taking the liberty of saying that if they are just some wanderers and prodigal sons in the market, chasing after the wind and shadows when they are idle and bored, and arranging things to pass the time at will, the prince is not worth being angry with them, but the lower officials feel that among so many rumors, there is no accusation or blame for the poisonous woman who poisoned her husband, but without exception, the spearhead is pointed directly at the prince who exposed the truth about the death of King Qin. ”

Hearing Pei Yun's words, Yang Guang's heart flashed, his face softened, and he muttered: "No wonder after receiving the news of Yang Jun's death, my father wanted to send him to Qinzhou, could it be that he was behind this matter again?" However, with his identity, it seems that this is not necessary, right? ”

Pei Yun understood the "he" that Yang Guang said, and reminded Yang Guang with his hand: "Don't forget the cat ghost case not long ago, the main messenger behind the scenes is likely to be this person, and as the prince just said, the emperor must have been wary of his recent behavior, so he was assigned to Qinzhou, so out of the heart of guarding against the prince, he instigated these nonsense against the prince in a vain attempt to slander the prince, isn't it a matter of reason?" ”

"If it is really as Chong said, it would be a good idea for me to leave Beijing as soon as possible to show him my intentions...... However, the queen mother ......" Yang Guang pondered Pei Yun's words carefully, and his attitude became hesitant.

"As long as the prince is willing to leave Beijing as soon as possible, other matters will be handed over to the lower officials to handle, and the prince will not have an unfilial reputation in the eyes of the world." Pei Yun saw that Yang Guang's mind was active, and took advantage of the situation to reassure him.

"This king sent you back to Beijing to investigate the people who made Gu Sheng rebel, but what eyebrows did you find?" Yang Guang was really unwilling to return to Jiangnan to avoid trouble, and asked Pei Yundao with a calm face.

Xia Guan once went to Daxingshan Temple to interview Peng Guogong and the monks in the temple, but still did not find any valuable clues, proving that Gu Sheng was instructed by someone to sneak outside the customs to lobby the Turks to raise troops. If you want to find out about this case, I'm afraid that it won't take three or two days, so the prince might as well return to Jiangnan for the time being, and leave the official in Chang'an to continue to investigate the case. Pei Yun was afraid that Yang Guang would change his mind, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"If I stay in Chang'an for one more day, it will be more conducive to finding out the culprit behind Gu Sheng as soon as possible, if it is just to take care of my reputation and retreat back to Jiangnan, wouldn't it also give the culprit who instructed Gu Sheng to rebel give an opportunity?" Yang Guang seemed to have made up his mind, Huo Di turned to look at Pei Yun and asked.

"Lord Wang......" Pei Yun was so anxious that he stomped his feet and wanted to persuade Yang Guang to leave Beijing to avoid trouble, but he heard the voice of the eunuch Li Yu'er outside the door: "The king of Shengchuan Jin will immediately go to Linde Hall to see him." ”
