"It's not as good as Jiangnan." Shao Kang said, "If the northwest Liaodong is stable, there is no need to worry. ”

"Liaodong is not peaceful?" Changying asked.

"It's not peaceful." Shao Kang said, "It's just that the old Liao princess died a few months ago, and the Liao princess was relatively strong during her reign, and there were a lot of subordinates, and several county kings in the palace had several disputes with the Liao king." ”

When Changying heard this, she couldn't help but think of Xu Lan's father, Xu Yao, who had been transferred to Liaodong earlier, and she still didn't know why.

Could it be that there was a dispute within the Liao Palace, so the emperor transferred Xu Yao over?

Liaodong was the territory of the Liao king, and although the relationship with the imperial court was no longer close, it was ultimately controlled by the imperial power.

The King of Liao did not show obvious intentions in the matter of seizing the heir, and in fact, he was beyond the reach of the whip, and it was not easy to kill the tiger in Beijing under the condition that the Central Plains was stable.

The second is that there is no foundation, and the prince of the country rarely returns to the court by order, and he cannot attract the help of the ministers in the court.

But that doesn't stop him from being a helping hand in the succession.

If so, there will definitely be some changes in Liaodong.

In the case of unstable court situation, in order to prevent the occurrence of incidents, it makes sense for the emperor to transfer the generals from the south to suppress the formation, at least the possibility of collusion between the generals going south and the Liaodong Army is greatly reduced.

Zhou Liang wrote that Xu Lan also came to Yanjing, but I don't know which camp he went to?

“…… Swap for change! Who ordered this play?! Let's not make people happy! ”

was in a trance, and suddenly heard Shaoqing angrily pointing at the stage and scolding, slapping the table and slapping the chair, I don't know what the young master's majesty is.

Changying looked left and right, but saw that everyone present looked a little embarrassed, and Ling Yuan's face was even more pale, she asked Fu Rong, "What's wrong?" ”

Fu Rong's expression was also very strange, he glanced at her, drank the tea in his cup, got up and said, "It's not too early, let's get here today." ”

Feng Shaoyin and the others all got up with a tacit understanding and waited for Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan sat silently for a long time with a gloomy face, raised his eyes and glanced at the stage, and slowly stood up.

Changying intuitively felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately he didn't see it.

Huang Ji walked up to her, pulled her sleeve, motioned to turn around, and she settled down.

The group walked out of the opera garden, and the bright moon in the sky was just right, but the atmosphere obviously fell.

Changying simply said goodbye, Fu Rong and the others did not stay, only nodded and went with Ling Yuan and the others.

Turning out of the street corner, Huang Ji couldn't help but say: "Somehow in the opera garden, there are several dramas praising the great achievements of the old Wuning Hou during his lifetime. ”

The long tassel stopped.

No wonder Ling Yuan looked ugly before, she, the "murderer of his father", watched the play with him, but what she watched was his father's play, how could she not be embarrassed or angry?

The key is that he can't stop it, outsiders praise the deceased father, don't you let the son praise it?

From this point of view, Fu Rong and the others were in a hurry to leave, and they were afraid that she would be embarrassed.

In this way, Changying should be even more angry, but as long as he thinks that this thing is unusual, he can't think about anything else.

Ling Yan has been dead for four years, and all of a sudden he is being praised everywhere, can it be manipulated by someone with a heart?

"Long tassel!"

Just thinking about it, Shaoqing drove his horse to catch up again: "I just found out that the streets and alleys have been rumoring about Second Uncle Ling these days!"

"A lot of restaurant storytellers, including the theater, have made up his plays in turn! The rumors that dissipated a while ago are now rekindled because of these dramas! ”

Changying frowned: "When did it spread?" ”

"I asked just now, that is, it suddenly spread in the past two days, and it was spread in front of Brother Ling.

"Forget it, some foolish people are even discussing where you live, and they say that they will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to complain, saying that you, that people like you are not worthy of being an official or a general! They will ask the scholar to write a petition and suspend your official position! ”

"Isn't this nonsense!" Huang Ji said, "The leader's general title was desperately obtained back, and it was not obtained by the Ling family, so why not deserve it!" Do they say they are worthy, and if they are not worthy, they are not worthy? ”

Changying thought for a moment and turned the horse's head: "Go back to the house first." ”

Shaoqing also followed.

When he arrived at Shen's house, Changying handed over the horsewhip and said, "Huang Ji went to find a guard, see where the rumors were mainly concentrated, and then inquire about the source." ”

Huang Ji is gone.

Ling Yuan and Fu Rong parted ways and returned home.

Ling Song also greeted him and followed him into the main courtyard: "What's the matter with the rumors on the streets?" ”

Ling Yuan stopped under the door: "You know too? ”

"At noon, I went to the workshop to run an errand and heard a lot of people talking."

Ling Yuan frowned and entered the room and said, "Someone is stirring up trouble, it can't be ruled out that it's the East Palace." ”

He untied his sword and continued: "In Nankangwei, someone in the Caoyun Division took advantage of the bell to cause a storm, and later Yang Ji learned that she was in Huzhou, and then targeted ...... Huo Rong, this is all for the Ling family. This time, the method has intensified, and it is very likely that he will be indicated. ”

Ling Song said: "He wants to use the bell to persecute us? ”

He was surprised: "Even if he does this, causing you and the bell to fall into a whirlpool, it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to ask him Yang Ji to come forward to solve the siege, and admit his feelings, where did he come from so sure?" ”

"Now it doesn't necessarily make me admit it." Ling Yuan said, "According to this posture, he is afraid that I am involved in the Jin Prince's Mansion." ”

He summoned Guo Jiao: "Open the cage I brought back from Nankangwei." ”

When she got up early in the morning, Changying received the news that the escort Tan Yi brought back.

"I inquired around, and the details came from the major opera gardens. The people in the neighborhood are all spontaneous incition, but no one manipulates them.

"The subordinates inquired for two more rounds, and finally found out that the book written by the person from the Department of Education was sent to the opera garden to sing."

Hearing this, Changying knew it in his heart.

If Yang Ji hadn't done this, she would have sworn by her head!

But Yang Ji didn't talk about her, but brought out Ling Yan, which was not only to use public opinion to block the Ling family's mouth so that they couldn't speak, but also to put her on the knife edge.

And they all made up a script to sing, which is probably intended to spread all over the country.

She remembered that she was being targeted by the eunuchs of the East Palace at the palace banquet a while ago, so it seemed that he was staring at the follow-up, but it should not be possible that he planned to match her and Ling Yuan again.

He carried Ling Yan out this time, only to prevent the Ling family from getting involved with the Jin Mansion because of her.

She was close to the Jin Palace, and according to the world's thoughts, Ling Yuan would not be able to have anything to do with the Jin Palace.

Originally, the emperor's opponent was only the Gu family, no matter how Yang Ji said it, he was also a prince, and without the Gu family, it was easy to clean him up.

If it weren't for Gu Zhe, the Marquis of Dongting, who was forced to resign and support him, and with the emperor's hatred of his relatives, he would not have been able to get this position.

Because of this, although he is the lord of the East Palace, he is still panicked, not only in the court, but also in the harem, constantly trying to rely on nepotism to stabilize and expand his power.
