After Yang Xiong returned to Beijing, he first went to the palace, roughly explained the affairs of Luoyang, and then returned home.

The eldest son, Yang Gongren, took off his cloak for his father, ordered the maid to bring hot water, soaked his father's feet, and then stood aside and frowned:

"Last month, King Qi gave his father a gift, but his son couldn't push it, so he had to accept it, so as not to ask him for us, and before he could speak, I returned him a copy, but ten days ago, he sent another one, and it was even more generous, and his son roughly estimated that the money could be 200,000 yuan, which is a big deal, what does he want to do?"

"Hehe," Yang Xiong soaked his feet comfortably, and sneered, "Anyway, he didn't have any good intentions, his money was detained by King Qin in Luoyang, where did he get so much money?"

Yang Gongren said: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, my son inquired that there is a house in Feng Yi County, and I heard that there are many beautiful women in it, and maybe there is a lot of money hidden."

Yang Xiong raised his eyebrows and sighed: "The person who is in charge of the office, is a person who has not made money, but the idler is collecting money everywhere, this trip to Luoyang, I talked to Yang Su about the Jinyang rebellion, he told me that after the King of Qin captured Yang Liang alive, he did not even enter Jinyang City, and strictly ordered that no one should harass the Han Wang's family scroll, and the violator was beheaded, and all the family property of the Han King was later returned to the treasury, and Yang Ming did not touch it."

Then, Yang Xiong lifted his feet, let the maid help dry them, then put on a dress, sat down by the stove in the house, and continued:

"Liang Bi also mentioned to me that since he took office as a waiter in the Criminal Department, he has flipped through the eucalyptus files of previous years, among which during Yang Yin's tenure as the governor of Yangzhou, there were three assassins who were convicted, and the intention was to raid the house, but the raider did not copy anything, where do you say the money is?"

"Let King Qi be greedy," Yang Gongren moved a small bench and sat next to his father.

Yang Xiong stroked the armrest of the chair and said: "Today, after I met Your Majesty, I went to the prince's place, and the prince told me that in two or three months, Yang Xuan will go to Luoyang, the governor's canal, then the king of Qin will definitely be transferred back to Beijing, I once mentioned to the king of Qin to give him a concubine, people did not agree, at first I didn't care much, but now ......."

As he spoke, Yang Xiong suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "When I saw the crown prince, I noticed that something was wrong with him."

Yang Gongren was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xiong said: "At that time, the prince's palm was pressed on the table, but when he raised his hand, the part of his palm that was concave due to the pressure did not calm down, just like this."

As he spoke, Yang Xiong pressed his palm.

"This ...... This ......." Yang Gongren looked shocked.

Yang Xiong said in a deep voice: "I have seen this kind of disease, most of it is thirst-quenching disease, and the prince is already very serious, haven't you noticed that he is thinner than before?"

"This ...... Of course my son knows," Yang Gongren was stunned, "But everyone thinks that after the prince quit drinking, he often went on safaris, and his body gradually recovered."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "I'm afraid the truth is not the case, I saw it very clearly at the time, this is a disease of swelling, and the prince is probably also emaciated because of illness."

Yang Gongren was dumbfounded, standing in place in a daze.

After a while, he said, "This disease doesn't seem to be fatal."

Yang Xiong nodded: "As long as you cultivate well and use medicine properly, there will be no big problem in a short period of time, but the prince is diligent in government affairs every day, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to recuperate, I'm hesitating, whether to tell Your Majesty about this matter, he must not know yet."

"I can't hide it, my father needs to tell me as soon as possible, if the prince's body collapses, it will be a major event that will shake the country," Yang Gongren said with an anxious face.

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "Things must be fully prepared, if something happens to the crown prince, King Qin and King Qi, who do you choose?"

Yang Gongren was stunned for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "Although the elders and young are orderly, but the son supports the King of Qin."

"Not bad!" Yang Xiong said in a deep voice: "But we are of the same clan and can't get married, so the girl's matter, you use snacks, try to let her go over to be a concubine for others, don't think that we are a clan, people will look down on you, I and the Supreme, yet."

It is a relative of the great-grandfather's generation, and Yang Ming is even more intimate, and there is actually no difference between him and outsiders."

Yang Gongren hurriedly nodded: "My son knows, and he will make comprehensive arrangements."

After Yang Xiong pondered for a while, he suddenly got up:

"Change clothes, I'll enter the palace now."

.......

"Going and returning, it must be urgent," Yang Guang strolled in front of the bookshelf and said with a smile, "What is the matter with King Guan, you forgot to tell me last day?"

Yang Xiong was quite embarrassed, followed Yang Guang all the way, and said carefully:

"If the minister says something wrong, please don't blame Your Majesty."

Yang Guang was about to take down a classic book on the shelf, when he heard this, he was stunned, withdrew his hand, and frowned:

"You're weird today, let's say, whether it's right or wrong, I won't blame you."

Yang Xiong took a long breath and said, "The crown prince may have a serious illness, does Your Majesty know?"

At this moment, Yang Guangtongkong suddenly contracted, and the whole person seemed to be a beast that chose people and loved them, and said word by word:

"Who did you listen to?"

So, Yang Xiong recounted what he saw in the East Palace in the original form,

"It's just the minister's speculation, I can't do it accurately, but it is related to the prince's body, and the minister does not dare to hide it, although there is a possibility of being convicted, he must also take the risk and play His Majesty."

Yang Guang's eyes twitched, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "No, you did the right thing, I know, remember, don't say it to anyone."

"The minister understands," Yang Xiong said.

Yang Guangyi waved his sleeves: "Let's go down."

After Yang Xiong left, Yang Guang clenched his fists and exhaled a long breath, ordering Gao Ye, the servant, to immediately call the prince.

"You've been in good spirits these days,"

Since Yang Zhao came in, Yang Guang's eyes have been looking at his son.

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I have always heard that the Jingshi is very lively at the moment, but Erchen has not gone out to see it, so he plans to leave the palace tomorrow night to enjoy the lanterns."

Yang Guang struggled to control his emotions, and said seemingly casually: "The third row of the fourth row of the bookshelf, take down that set of calendars."

Yang Zhao nodded, walked over, and brought a heavy set of Kaihuang calendars and put them in front of his father.

Suddenly, Yang Guangmeng stretched out his hand, grabbed his son's wrist, and twisted it with his backhand.

I saw that where Yang Zhao's palm was forced, there was a long depression,

Yang Guang trembled, staring at his son's palm, he had been hoping in his heart that the depression would calm down as soon as possible.

But he was disappointed.......

"Bastard!"

Yang Guang was furious, reluctantly shook Yang Zhao's arm away, and said angrily, "Have you quit drinking?"

"Father!" was peeped by his own father, Yang Zhao suddenly cried and fell to the ground, kowtowing constantly.

Yang Guang trembled, and the whole person was almost crazy, only to see him staring at the son in front of him, and his voice trembled:

"Multi-...... Long...... Finish? I ask you, how long has it be.......

"Father......." Yang Zhao cried bitterly, and the part where his forehead hit the ground also fell.

"Ah...... Ah.......h

For a while, the guards standing outside the hall were stunned and rushed in to check the situation.

"Go down," Takano hurriedly ran over, waved off the guards, and closed the temple door.

I saw Yang Guang walk down from the stage, grabbed his son's shirt, lifted Yang Zhao up, and said:

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Do you take medicine?"

Yang Zhao cried bitterly: "My son didn't dare to say it, for fear that his father would worry, and he had been taking the medicine."

"Rubbish!"

Yang Guangyi threw his son on the ground, his eyes widened angrily, looked at Gao Ye, and gasped:

"Immediately send a decree to surround the East Palace for me, and take care of all the waste inside, I want one by one

Judgment."

"Father," Yang Zhao crawled over and hugged his father, "They didn't know about it, it was their son who deliberately concealed it, and they were not at fault."

"Get out of here!"

Yang Guang kicked his son away, but Yang Zhao crawled over again, this time holding it tighter, crying:

"Father, the sin lies with the son, please don't implicate the innocent, as long as this disease is cultivated well, it will not be a big problem.......

At this time, Yang Guang was already staring at Yang Zhao with tears in his eyes,

After a while, Yang Guang said weakly: "You go down, don't go to court in the future, leave everything in your hands to Su Wei to do, you can take care of your illness."

"Erchen obeys," Yang Zhao kowtowed slowly, his forehead touching the ground.

Yang Guang let out a long sigh and closed his eyes: "Dr. Chao Yuanfang, the Imperial Physician, will lead the group of people from the Imperial Physician Department to jointly heal the Prince."

"Yes," Takano nodded.

Then, Yang Guang said: "The slaves and maids who serve the prince closely, as well as his thousands of cattle and bodies, are all arrested by me, I want to interrogate, everyone in the East Palace, without my will, must not leave the palace for half a step, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

.......

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Guang did not appear in the courtiers' field of vision, and the festival ceremony that had been prepared was temporarily changed to Gao Gong and Su Wei to co-preside.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and there was no news coming out of the palace.

In the Liangyi Palace, there was a person who was tied all over, stuffed with cloth in his mouth, and was severely whipped by several eunuchs holding leather whips.

This person's name is Yang Shude, and he is the guard next to the prince.

After whipping for a while, Yang Guang, who was sitting on the stage, nodded towards Gao Ye,

Gao Ye gestured to the eunuch who was tortured, and the cloth ball in Yang Shude's mouth was taken out.

Gao Ye walked over, leaned over and asked, "If you say it now, you will die alone, and if you don't say it, the whole family will not be protected."

"I said, the whole family can't keep it," Yang Shude replied weakly.

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed, and his expression instantly became hideous.

This person is also stubborn, and he would rather die than confess.

The reason why he was found was not that there were suspicions in this person, but that all the prince's guards had been severely beaten and deceived by the eunuchs.

Until now, he is the only one who has leaked his mouth.

Yang Guang's original intention was to see how much of the news of the prince's illness had leaked out, because the news had already been transmitted from the Imperial Medical Department, and the prince's illness had been concealed for at least a year.

For a whole year, Yang Guang didn't know, but others may not know.

At this time, he finally spoke:

"You tell me that I will keep your whole family safe and even forgive you from sin."

Yang Shude lay on the ground, kept wailing, his whole body trembled like chaff, and trembled:

"If you say it, is Your Majesty really willing to let me go?"

Yang Guang directly raised his sleeves and pointed at the other party and said, "Not only did I not kill you, but I also asked you to be the county commander and give you a title."

After a moment of silence, Yang Shude finally confided the truth.
