Chapter 266: The human heart is not ancient

The prince laughed out loud when he heard this, "Really? So, Princess Jing has now changed her stubborn temper in the past? ”

The prince's horse stopped in front of Liang Yan, and he turned slightly sideways on the horse's back, and the whip in his hand picked up Liang Yan's chin, making her tilt her head at him.

This kind of action of picking a woman's chin will make men feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfy their inner vanity.

Liang Yan has a sense of shame that is difficult to hide, but if she lowers her head once, she can reverse the defeat, so it is nothing to endure the shame for a while.

She raised her eyes to look at the prince with trembling eyelashes, and her beautiful eyes were full of sadness and hesitation.

The prince's heart jumped, he withdrew the horsewhip in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and asked, "Does Princess Jing have a silver medal for the holy pardon?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The eunuch hurriedly replied.

"Let her in." After the prince finished speaking, he rode away.

At the entrance of Zongzheng Temple, a large carriage lifted the curtain from the inside and showed a silver medal.

The guard took the silver medal, took a closer look, and hurriedly let him go.

"Ayerβ€”"

A pair of children threw themselves into Li Xuanyi's arms.

Li Xuanyi picked up his son and daughter, pulled the chains on his hands and feet, and made a loud noise.

Liang Yan stood at the door, not like two children, she rushed forward regardless of it, but she couldn't help crying when she looked at him.

The man with a high spirit and a stunning face. Now the hair is simply tied at the back of the head, and the mustache on the face is not carefully groomed, and it also reveals some decadent Tang flavor.

But he was not hurt except that he was covered with long chains and was not free.

The clothes he wore were the same ones he wore when he left home.

"Grandma......" Li Xuanyi hugged his son and daughter and raised his eyes to look at Liang Yan.

Liang Yan originally thought that she was very strong, and she would not cry when she saw him.

But somehow, he said "Grandma", with indescribable feelings, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"A-Niang misses Aye!" Li Ningxin said for Liang Yan.

Li Xuanyi nodded again and again, "Aya knows, Aya knows." ”

Li Zhen hugged Li Xuanyi's neck tightly, for fear that Aya would disappear in front of him at any time, "Aye, Aye, think!" Think! ”

Li Xuanyi rubbed Li Zhen's little head, "Aya also misses Zhen'er, I miss it very much, I miss it very much......"

Liang Yan thought of the purpose of her coming today, took a deep breath, and suppressed the sourness in her heart. stepped forward to take the child from his arms, "I didn't stay long, long story short, are you okay?" ”

Li Xuanyi nodded, "I'm fine." ”

Liang Yan looked around and saw that the room that was locked up in him had a simple bed, a table, a stool, and a few couches on the side. There's nothing left on the side.

It's simple, it's simple, but it's still much stronger than the imaginary prison.

At least it's not damp and sunny.

The chain on his body is very long, and the longest is estimated to be able to walk to the door and sit, outside the door is an independent courtyard, there are grass and flowers in the courtyard, and there is a locust tree.

In addition to not being free, it can be considered passable.

"Have you seen King Ning?" Liang Yan came to him and asked in a low voice.

Li Ningxin and Li Zhen sat on the big bed, and Li Zhen muttered something to herself.

Li Ningxin was watching over her younger brother while listening to her parents' conversation.

The nurses are all outside, leaving this rare time to meet for a husband and wife.

"No, after I was asked to leave by the people of the Imperial Historical Observatory, I was asked some questions at the Imperial Historical Observatory, and then the eunuchs around the Holy Lord summoned me and escorted me here and held me in solitary confinement. What is the situation of King Ning? Li Xuanyi asked in a low voice.

"King Ning is also locked up in Zongzheng Temple. I don't know what the situation is, but I guess it's similar to yours, right? Liang Yan said, "The Holy Admiral is locked up here because of the case of the river repair money, right?" ”

Li Xuanyi nodded, "The county guard of Yidu County is not greedy for the river repair money at all, all the river repair funds are used for the repair of the river embankment, and the river is dredged, but the upper reaches of the Chu River have rained heavily, this is a natural disaster, how can it be changed by man?" Those people in Yushitai are simply picking bones in eggs, and the evidence is insufficient, so they bite and don't let go! ”

Liang Yan nodded, and sure enough, Su Pu was right.

"I heard that in the Chujiang area, there are rumors that are unfavorable to the saint and the imperial court are circulating among the people." Liang Yan said in a low voice, "It is rumored that it is the saint who has lost his virtue and punished him from heaven, which has caused disasters and floods to break out over the years. It is also said that King Ning is a virtuous king, and he is the best candidate for the prince, if King Ning is enthroned, it will be smooth. ”

Li Xuanyi frowned when he heard this, "This must be a rumor deliberately spread by someone with a heart!" How could the people dare to talk about the saint easily, and it is more credible to talk about the prince's lack of virtue! ”

Liang Yan nodded, "So in this matter, even if there is no evidence, even if it can be proved in the end that King Ning did not instruct people to be greedy for money to repair the river, the Holy Lord will not easily release King Ning!" ”

Li Xuanyi frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I want to add to the crime......"

Liang Yan moved closer to him and said: "But King Ning is the son of the Holy Lord after all, and the Holy Lord has always favored you, if you don't follow the road paved by the prince and defeat the prince's plan, King Ning still has a chance." ”

Li Xuanyi raised his eyebrows, "Disturbed by the road paved by the prince?" ”

The prince knew that King Ning had a very high reputation among the people, and the wide application of movable type printing made people in the world praise King Ning. The crown prince knew that it was impossible for him to overpower King Ning on this road, so he took advantage of the psychology of the holy taboo to pull King Ning to the front. There are many people who compare the saint with King Ning. said that the saint is not a Ming monarch, and said that if King Ning ascends the throne, he will definitely be more energetic and effective than the current saint...... Now that the Holy One is in power, how can he want to hear such talk? What monarch doesn't want to be a wise monarch who has never been seen before or since? Seeing that when his son was still a prince, the people's voices were higher than his own, would the saint be willing? Liang Yan said in a low voice.

Li Xuanyi bowed slightly, "So, even if the saint already believes that King Ning is innocent about the matter of repairing the river, he will not let King Ning go?" ”

Liang Yan bit her lower lip and said slowly: "I'm afraid that's the case." ”

Li Xuanyi clenched his fists violently, pulling the iron chain in his hand rattling, "It's really troublesome, if you don't do well, you will be punished, and if you do too well, you will be punished!" Is there anything more difficult in the world than this? ”

Liang Yan smacked and spit out the word "moderation", "So the sages said that the mean is the way to do things." However, for King Ning, it is too late to maintain any moderation now. ”

Li Xuanyi sighed lightly and raised his eyes to look at Liang Yan, "...... you are here today?"

Liang Yan nodded, "I'll come, visit you as one thing, and the other one, if you can see King Ning in private, you can unify your voice with King Ning and let him admit this greedy thing!" ”

Li Xuanyi glared, "Admit it?!" Isn't this sending the neck under the sword? ”

Liang Yan shook her head slightly, "The saint can't see that King Ning's reputation is higher than him. If King Ning admits the matter of greedy ink and writes a book of guilt to the world, Chu Jiang and other places talk about the saint's immorality, he will be unfair and self-defeating, and the saint's face will be saved. As far as the saint is concerned, King Ning is no longer the perfect King Ning, and with such a big stain on his body, it is also relatively safe for him. After all, it was his son, and when the matter of the Gu family's river transportation was revealed, because Princess Changle interceded, the saint was exempted from the Gu family's exile. Now that King Ning is his own son, he will definitely not want King Ning's life. And he is no longer guarding against King Ning like he is now, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood. ”

Li Xuanyi raised his eyes and looked at Liang Yan and said, "This is a dangerous move. ”

"Rich and in danger, let alone the life of the family!" Liang Yan bowed her head and said, "If you are locked up here, if you can't rest assured that the saint can't rest assured for a day, you won't be free for a day, if the saint is not prepared, will the prince take care of his friendship with King Ning and your brotherhood?" ”

Li Xuanyi frowned and nodded slightly, "Could it be that now Madame no longer reads medical books and has instead studied the art of war?" ”

Liang Yan shook her head, "If you admit to the matter of greedy ink, the Holy Lord will definitely ask where this money is spent." Just say...... In order to build the Lishan Palace, right? The construction of the Lishan Palace was to please the saints, and on the other hand, it could highlight King Ning's greed for pleasure and indulgence in hard work. It's not for the sake of greedy money to buy people's hearts, form a party for personal gain, and calculate the throne. I would be more relieved to come to the Holy Lord. ”

Li Xuanyi snorted lightly, "I only heard that he took credit for himself, but now he wants to take responsibility for himself, it's really people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining!" ”

Liang Yan didn't have time to sigh with him, but she heard the voice of the guards outside the courtyard urging.

Huoxiang said at the door: "Princess, the guards have urged." ”

Liang Yan nodded, raised her hand to hold Li Xuanyi's hand, and stared at him with her eyes, "My son and daughter and I are waiting for you to come back safely at home." ”

Li Xuanyi nodded heavily, and looked back at Li Zhen, who was lying on the bed and suddenly didn't know what nervousness was, and Li Ningxin, who seemed to understand whether she knew whether she knew what was going on or not, and Li Ningxin, who didn't know what to do, "I know, I will go back as soon as possible and reunite with you!" You have to take care of yourself and take care of your children! ”

"Lord Jing, Princess Jing, the time is not short...... Don't embarrass us! The guard shouted outside the courtyard.

Liang Yan nodded, "Yes, I'll go." ”

Liang Yan called the nurse in, picked up the two children, and went out together.

Li Xuanyi followed out of the house.

But the iron chain behind him restricted his movements, and he could only walk to the door, and he couldn't reach farther.

His long figure, dragging the chain, stood at the door, looking at Liang Yan's figure, walking away step by step, looking at her reluctant three steps and one turn, five steps and one stop.

He raised his hand and waved at her, and a thousand words turned into speechless and choked looks.

Until she walked out of the courtyard with the figure of the child, turned the wall, and was no longer visible.

His heart hurt inexplicably.

I believe that after the adventure, there will be peace, and after the great tribulation, it will be smooth.

He will be able to go back soon, with her and with the children.

Li Xuanyi returned to the room and sat quietly, his eyes kept falling on the iron chains on his hands and feet.

He needs to tell King Ning the news, he must meet King Ning, and the two of them can make a good confession!
