The king walked out of the gate of the Imperial Observatory and looked at the sky with a gloomy face.

Originally, it was cloudless early this morning, but by noon the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and it began to rain. This caught the king off guard, he came by horse, and went back like this, for fear that he would be drenched.

He was also reluctant to go home, and when he got home, he would feel cold in the face of his mother's wife's gaze

Speaking of which, he is also cold, the official capital came to the Yushitai, but he still couldn't raise his head in front of Yang Shenjin, and even his own job was taken away by Yang Shenjin

Although he was angry in his heart, Yang Shenjin was his elder, and he had also received Yang Shenjin's help when he entered the imperial history, so he could be angry but unable to speak.

"It's so late, and the prince hasn't left yet?"

Suddenly, someone behind him spoke, and Wang glanced back, it was Yang Zhao.

In addition to Yang Zhao, there is another person, Wang is also very familiar with, Ye Chang.

"This ...... How did Yang Gong and Ye Gong be here? Wang said in surprise.

Ye Chang almost laughed, Yang Zhao was over forty years, and there was no problem with Yang Gong, he was only in his early twenties, and now he was called "Gong", which was always a little weird. However, it can also be seen that the king does not dare to slack off on him.

Ye Chang understood the reason why he was not slacking off: Li Linfu.

Wang Nai is one of Li Linfu's most trusted confidants, and he also has great respect for Li Linfu, even if he is now a multi-tasker in the imperial history, but as soon as Li Linfu gives an order, he can run like a servant.

Moreover, in the previous battles against Wei Jian, Li Shizhi and others, Wang's performance was also extremely outstanding, and he took the lead every time, and it can even be said that he jumped out and bit wildly.

"Is the prince free to go to the Peony Pavilion with me to drink tea?" Yang Zhao said.

Datang is a very open dynasty, once a trend becomes popular, it can be accepted and spread by people in a very short time, football drama is the same, and the same is true of Xiangxuehai. Nowadays, in Chang'an City, there have been many high-end halls imitating Xiang Xuehai for high-end officials and wealthy merchants, and the Peony Pavilion is one of them. It is located close to the official office, so many officials will go there after work.

This is a place of elegance, with wine, tea, poetry and flowers, even if there are unsightly conservative attacks, they can also defend themselves.

The relationship between Wang and Yang Zhao is very ordinary, because both of them are in the Imperial History Terrace, Yang Zhao is the servant of the Imperial History, and Wang is Zhongcheng, although there is a distinction between subordinates and superiors, in fact, there is a faint competitive relationship. Therefore, the two rarely have contact with each other, but now Yang Zhao suddenly called him and invited him to the Peony Pavilion, Wang immediately understood that Yang Zhao had other arrangements

Seeing Ye Chang nodding slightly, he didn't think much about it, so he responded to the matter.

There was an inch outside, and the three of them got into Yang Zhao's carriage, and after arriving at the Peony Pavilion, they chose a private room, and their own entourage guarded outside, so as not to let people with ulterior motives come to eavesdrop.

"The two of you are summoned, you won't really drink tea here, what do you have to say, please make it clear."

Wang was in a depressed mood, and although he treated Ye Chang politely, he didn't want to spend too much time on useless saliva, so he asked directly.

"I heard that the prince is related to Yang Shilang?" Yang Zhao didn't make a sound, it was Ye Chang who spoke.

The king nodded, and said calmly, "It is true." ”

"But I heard that Yang Shilang was very rude to the prince, although you two were both listed as officials, but he called the envoy, like a servant?"

The king was silent for a moment, and then reluctantly said, "He is the elder, and he has been kind to me......"

"I heard that Yang Shilang encroached on the prince's office?"

Wang stood up suddenly, but sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "It's just a momentary misunderstanding...... Ye Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it directly? ”

"I heard that Yang Shilang also insulted the prince's biological mother and regarded her as a servant?" Ye Chang asked again.

This is a slap in the face, the king's face can no longer be controlled, the flesh on his cheeks trembles, and the halberd points at Ye Chang: "You, you ......"

"Li Xianggong asked me to find you." Ye Chang dissipated all the king's anger with one sentence: "If you want to be cautious, you must use the king." ”

In place of anger, the king's face was puzzled.

He knew that Li Linfu was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Yang Shenjin, but he never thought that he would do it now. You must know that Li Linfu made careful arrangements in advance before he did it, and then he suddenly launched it.

And this time, Li Linfu doesn't seem to have made sufficient preparations.

"The matter...... Really? ”

"Nature is true."

"Why didn't Li Xiang tell me personally?"

"Li Xiang closed his door to thank the guests, and he wanted to plan big things, so he never told you in person." Ye Chang smiled: "It's impossible for me to hide from Li Xiang to do such a big thing"

Wang really believed this, if this was not what Li Linfu meant, how could Ye Chang dare to act under his banner. Now that Yang Zhao has arrived, plus Ye Chang, if there is another king, even if Li Linfu does not come forward in person, it will be enough to shake Yang Shenjin's status in Li Longji's mind.

Thinking of the humiliation brought to him by Yang Shenjin, Wang slapped his right fist with his left palm and swore viciously: "I will not share the sky with this thief"

"Yang Shen is frivolous and arrogant, and he insults the prince a lot, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself, the prince should know his private affairs, I don't know if there is anything to take advantage of?" Ye Chang asked directly.

This sentence made Wang's heart skip a beat, and he glanced at Ye Chang with a somewhat strange expression.

This kind of method is no stranger to him, it is a habitual trick of Li Linfu's yin people, starting from selfishness, rather than looking for a fork in the work. At most, the fork in the work makes people demote and dismiss, but this is aimed at other people's heads

Ye Chang and Yang Shenjin, when did they have such hatred?

Or has Ye Chang become a little Li Linfu?

He didn't know that in Ye Chang's heart, he had already put the Yang family brothers in the position of being eliminated quickly. Yang Shenjin not only colluded with Yang Wei, but he had confirmed that it was Yang Shenjin who spread the news of his secret return to Chang'an

He was seen through by Yang Shenming in Luoyang, Yang Shenming for his own purposes, sent someone to fly to Chang'an to spread the news, after discovering that there might be a crack in the relationship between Ye Chang and Li Linfu, he ostensibly rejected Wang Yuanbao's suggestion, but actually sent the news again. Yang Shenjin may feel that he can take the opportunity to separate Ye Chang and Li Linfu, so as to get rid of Li Linfu's foreign aid, so he intends to add fuel to the flames in this matter.

If it weren't for Li Linfu's realization that there might be someone among them who took advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, and left a little leeway when acting, Ye Chang's head might have been cut off.

"Seriously...... How so? Wang hesitated slightly.

"The prince also said that he wanted to be with Yang Shenjin, but at this time he asked me if I wanted to do this?" Ye Chang glanced at him with a smile.

The king pondered for a while, and then said: "Yang Shen is arrogant, thinking that he is a relic of the previous dynasty, and he once talked to me about prophecy."

Yang Zhao, who had been beside him, took a sharp breath: Ye Chang is ruthless, and Wang is even more ruthless

Ye Chang just wanted to get rid of Yang Shenjin's brothers, but the charges provided by Wang might set off a monstrous prison

Proverbs, relics of the previous dynasty This is the most taboo thing for Li Longji, and a Yang Shenjin's head is not enough to cut off

After Yang Zhao was shocked, he was even afraid. Some people say that he is the second Zhang favored by Wu Zetian, but at least his surname is Yang, and he is also a descendant of the royal family of the Great Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty.

If Yang Shenjin's brother still has some relationship with Yang Yuhuan in the palace, Yang Yuhuan was able to marry Li Mao, the king of longevity, because he was favored by Li Mao in the family banquet where the Yang brothers entertained their fellow clans. But because Yang Yuhuan is now Li Longji's favorite concubine, this history has also been deliberately avoided.

"Why, didn't the two of you say that you want to deal with the Yang thief?" Seeing that Ye Chang and Yang Zhao didn't say anything for a long time, it was Wang Zhao's turn to glance at the two of them with a smile.

"Got it, do you have a credential?" Yang Zhao replied before Ye Chang.

With his understanding of Ye Chang, Ye Chang may not be able to make this kind of determination, unless he has no choice. But since Wang mentioned the matter of the relics of the previous dynasty, Yang Zhao also has the surname Yang character, even if it is just to clear his suspicions, he has to do his best to get things done.

Ye Chang's heart moved, or it was for this reason that Wang deliberately said the words "relics of the previous dynasty". He probably felt that Ye Chang and Yang Zhao and Yang Shenjin had no life-and-death enmity, and they might not be able to achieve the extreme, so they would use this strategy to force Yang Zhao to go all out.

You must know the amount of power represented behind Yang Zhao, but Yang Yuhuan. With his full involvement, the realization of this goal is almost a foregone conclusion.

"Naturally, there is a person, named Shi Jingzhong, who was a monk, and later returned to the world, it is said that he is quite knowledgeable in mathematics, can be lucky, and has close contacts with Yang Shenjin. Some time ago, Yang Shenjin once said to me, saying that he had invited Shi Jingzhong to do something, and then gave a maid to Shi Jingzhong."

"Where is Shi Jingzhong?" Yang Zhao asked.

"I don't know about it...... This person is quite famous in Beijing, and it is not difficult to find him. ”

"If you find this Shi Jingzhong and get a confession from him, is the prince willing to send him up?"

"Incumbent on"

When they said this, they formed an alliance, Wang left first, Ye Chang smiled slightly, and looked at Yang Zhao: "It's a big deal."

"What's next?"

"Please ask Ji Wen to arrest Shi Jingzhong, as long as Shi Jingzhong remains in Chang'an, I think I can find out soon, with Ji Wen presiding over this matter, what confession can't Shi Jingzhong come up with?"

Yang Zhao nodded, and said to himself: "Even if this is the case, I will also find a way in the palace...... Please ask the second sister to come forward."

Yang Yuhuan is the foundation of the Yang family's wealth, and in ordinary matters, Yang Zhao will not ask her to speak, and the other three sisters of the Yang family who have an affair with Li Longji come forward to talk about it. He didn't hide this matter in front of Ye Chang, he was showing Ye Chang his trust, but Ye Chang's heart jumped, for no reason, what trust did he show?

Sure enough, immediately after that, Yang Zhao asked: "Eleven Lang, brother Xian, I have a question, don't hide it from me." ”

"Please."

"What happened to Li Xiang?" Yang Zhao stared at him, his eyes unblinking.

Ye Chang was slightly stunned: "What's the situation?" ”

"Eleven Lang don't have to pretend, when you left Xingqing Palace, I saw that it was you who helped Li Xianggong into the carriage, and then you left with the carriage. If Li Xianggong's body is still able to support it, you should get out of the car and ride by yourself, and it should be Li Xianggong himself, not you, who ordered the coachman to go home."

In this world, no one is a fool, Yang Zhao can become a traitor through the ages, not only by virtue of Yang Yuhuan's nepotism, he is more shrewd than Ye Chang imagined. Ye Chang was a little helpless, if only he wasn't so smart.

Li Longji's condition is not optimistic.

This old traitor is ruthless to others, and he is also ruthless to himself, obviously just fainting, and his vitality is seriously injured, but he still supports his sick body, first go to the ball market to squeeze it, to avoid his ugly face being seen by Gao Lishi, and also to find an excuse for his weakness. Then he took the initiative to enter the palace, supported the sick body and Li Longji to deal with it, and snatched Ye Chang, the son-in-law.

During the whole process, he relied on extraordinary perseverance to survive, but after leaving the palace, his body could no longer support it, if it wasn't for Ye Chang reaching out to help, I was afraid that he would be exposed in his original form.

After returning home, Ye Chang went to have a secret meeting with Yang Zhao and Ji Wen, but Li Linfu was recuperating at home and could not handle official business at all. It's just that Ye Chang confessed that the Li Mansion is now closed inside and outside, and there is no news for the time being.

"Li Xianggong is indeed sick, but there is no major problem, the imperial doctor said that he only needs to recuperate." Ye Changdao.

"So, what happened to deal with Yang Shenjin, is it really Li Xianggong's instructions?" Yang Zhao asked again.

Ye Chang smiled: "Whether it is instructed by Li Xianggong or not, it doesn't matter now." ”

Yang Zhao was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he understood what Ye Chang meant. He, Wang, Ye Chang, and Ji Wen are all regarded as Li Yujiang, and it can be said that among the important figures used by Li Linfu to attack political opponents, only Luo Xishuang did not join in, as long as their actions began, everyone would regard them as Li Linfu's instructions.

Even Li Linfu himself has to admit this.

In other words, after being arranged by Li Linfu to carry the black pot several times, Ye Chang finally took the opportunity of Li Linfu lying on the hospital bed to let Li Linfu carry the black cauldron.

"What if Li Xiang recovers from his illness?"

"Dealing with Yang Shenjin, isn't it Li Xiang's own idea, let's do it for him, he will only be happier." Ye Changdao.

"That's right...... What he said was "Yang Zhao nodded again and again.

The twilight drum sound sounded outside, and Ye Chang smiled when he heard it: "It's time to go back, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will trouble me...... Brother Yang, should I go or you will go to Jiwen? ”

"I'll go." Yang Zhao said.

He walked out of the Peony Pavilion and went straight back to his home, but did not enter the study, but went to his guest room, and only when he entered, he saw Ji Wen jumping up from the Hu bed, and said a little impatiently: "How is it, Yang Gong, has Ye Shiyi confided the truth?" ”

"He said it, but as for whether it is true or not, no one knows what he said." Yang Zhao snorted: "Does he really want to be Li Xianggong's son-in-law?" ”

"I see that he has a little friendship with Li Xianggong's young daughter." Givin laughed twice, "What did he say?" ”

"Li Xiang is really unwell." Yang Zhao's eyes narrowed.

Geven's eyes narrowed, and both of them looked gloomy and ambitious.

If it is said that it is easy to fish in troubled waters, but what can be more muddy than the water of Li Linfu's downfall, if it is not for the fear that it will stir up not only muddy water, but also monstrous waves, the two of them are afraid that they will have to poke this matter out.

"Ye Shiyi is only looking for us, not looking for other high-ranking and powerful people to cooperate, I'm afraid that this is also considered, so as to avoid someone taking the opportunity to overthrow Li Xianggong as well, right?" Ji Wen and Yang Zhao thought of this question in their hearts.

If this is the case, it proves that Ye Chang has matured in terms of intrigue.
