On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Wu Houwei searched all over the city, arrested a total of 3,420 rumors, beheaded them in the downtown area, and the blood flowed in the heavenly streets.

Officials who dare to talk about this matter in private will directly destroy the people.

The curfew in Luoyang, Tokyo was changed to Hai Shi, that is, at 9 o'clock in the evening, and the doors of each room had to be closed, and anyone who came out at night would be arrested directly.

Yang Guang quickly suppressed public opinion with thunderous means, but he knew in his heart that he could control your mouth, not your heart, and the scandal had spread.

In the Daye Palace, the crown princess Wei Ying knelt in front of Yang Guang and his wife, crying loudly, begging for a strict investigation and her innocence.

It's not innocent anymore.

The things that Yang Yun has done before are all real hammers, although Yang Guang did not find any real evidence this time, but he is inclined to believe the rumors in his heart.

Because the second child and Wei Ying have really gotten too close recently.

After the East Palace was checked, one of Wei Ying's personal maids was found, who often went out of the palace to the Qi Palace's Mansion in Luoyang to meet with Yang Yin in private.

The maid was also a loyal servant, and was beaten to death, without revealing a word to the outside.

The more this is the case, the more suspicious Yang Guang and his wife become, if your relationship is bright, what can't you say?

What made Empress Xiao most angry was that the people of Dali Temple found out that on the way back to Luoyang from Jiangdu, Yang Yun had boarded the floating boat of the crown princess Wei Ying several times on the way, what were they doing?

Of course, they were discussing how to join forces to deal with Yang Ming, and nothing really happened between the two.

But now the rumors that have affected the entire Luoyang have almost confirmed the two of them.

Yang Guang couldn't beat a woman, so Empress Xiao stood up, she left her seat, and ordered the palace maid to set Wei Ying up left and right, and then slapped it down.

In the hearts of Yang Guang and his wife, the eldest Yang Zhao is the dearest child, and the eldest daughter-in-law breaks her shoes, which is not chastity, and it is absolutely intolerable to them here, even if there is no real evidence to prove it now.

After Empress Xiao's hand hurt, she ordered the palace maid to continue beating until Wei Ying vomited blood from her mouth and fainted.

"Lock her up for me, keep her strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to visit," Empress Xiao was already angry.

The two palace maids dragged the unconscious Wei Ying down, and Gao Ye immediately ordered the attendants to wash the blood off the ground.

Yang Guang turned around and returned to the dormitory behind him.

In the dormitory, Yang Ying was kneeling there, and every scream from Wei Ying in the front hall would make him tremble.

"Father, son-in-law and sister-in-law are innocent, it must be the third child, he must be walking rumors, targeting me," After seeing Yang Guang come in, Yang Xuan kept kowtowing.

Yang Guang sighed, sat down on the side, and looked down at the son in front of him,

"I'll find out the truth, but you don't seem to know what's wrong with you?"

Yang Xuan cried and complained: "The child contacted the sister-in-law, but he just wanted to tell the son who came to protect the child about a family matter, and there was nothing else to ask for, let alone the slightest transgression, hoping that his father would be clear." ”

Yang Guang's expression was sluggish, and he said: "She is your eldest sister-in-law, if you want to have a good relationship with her, you need to know that you have to go through your mother first, and the people still know that your uncle and sister-in-law are not in the same room, how can you dare to meet her in private?" Isn't that encroachment? ”

"Father," Yang Jun raised his head and said: "Even if I have an affair with my sister-in-law, how can this matter spread to the streets and alleys, and the whole city knows it, with the sage of my father, can't I see that someone is deliberately framing the child?" ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said: "I said, I will find out the matter, but what I am talking about now is the matter of you and her meeting in private, how long has your eldest brother been gone?" How dare you? ”

"Father," Yang Jun knew that today's level was really difficult, so he also let it go:

"As a younger brother, the third child secretly competes for the prince, forms a party for personal gain, and the child doesn't want to let him, so he thinks about having a good relationship with his sister-in-law and checking and balancing the third child, which is why I meet with my sister-in-law in private, because there are some things that can only be explained clearly in person."

Yang Guang said coldly: "You finally told the truth, did you deliberately restrain him to build Luoyang?" ”

"Yes!" Anyway, he confessed, Yang Jian was out this time: "The father and the queen mother are partial to the third child, and the son can't see it, he has today's prestige in the court, which is caused by his father and the emperor, but why don't you want to think about me?" My eldest brother has passed away, and in terms of seniority, you should also consider me first? ”

Yang Guang suddenly sneered, and saw Yang Yun tingle for a while.

I saw Yang Guang say with a cold expression:

"You go outside and ask, how many people say hello to you in this world? Give you a Yangzhou governor, don't know how to govern the place, accumulate merits, think about finding a woman all day long, let you be a Yuzhou pastor, you dare to do something to build Tokyo, you dare to abduct the third woman, fornicate with his wife and sister to kill his wife and Wei Chong, what else is there that you King Qi dare not do? ”

Yang Guang leaned back, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and said:

"I haven't set up a reserve for a long time, just to give you a chance, to open and repair the canal, I gave you a chance, what is the result? Hundreds of officials are complaining, and the people's grievances are boiling, this time I also want to give you a chance to let you take charge of this north-south canal, do you see how many people are against you at the court? If you want to form a party, I will turn a blind eye, but you always have to make some useful people, how many people in Shangshu Province will speak for you? How many speak for the third child? You told me what I should do. ”

Yang Yun said with resentment: "Father and emperor have to give time to his son?" The third child can win over the courtiers, that is, relying on the eldest aunt and Yang Su, who are the sons? Wei Chong, a half-man, has no weight in Shangshu Province. ”

"So, are you complaining about me and your aunt, and didn't find you a good wife? What is the difference between you and King Fangling (posthumously sealed after Yang Yong's death)? Yang Guang sneered.

Yang Jun lowered his head and said: "My son is just telling the truth, Pei Ju's daughter should have been mine, and it was snatched from me by the third child." ”

"The Pei family was set by your grandfather and grandmother, and you can't blame the third child," Yang Guang said.

Yang Jun then said: "The third child is relying on the favor of his grandfather and grandmother, he is stronger than his son very early, father, you can't be too partial, the son is at a disadvantage from beginning to end, although he is working with all his might, but he still can't get rid of the decline, look at the women he married, and then look at his son?" What am I going to fight with him? It's not that I'm inferior to him, but that my father, queen and mother favor one over the other. ”

Yang Guang was angry with him and laughed, and he smiled back and forth,

"Okay, since you say so, I will give you one last chance, Yuzhou Mu you continue to do it, keep an eye on the canal, be sure to complete it within six months, if you can do it, I will find you a good wife."

Yang Jin's spirit was greatly lifted: "Father rest assured, the son will definitely do it." ”

"But before that, you have to go back to Beijing with me," Yang Guangyu said.

.......

This scandal, Yang Guang will not allow it to continue to ferment, and the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, who are in charge of the investigation, are also secretly visiting and secretly investigating behind the scenes.

】

And he can't deal with Yang Jun and Wei Ying, otherwise it will be tantamount to admitting the authenticity of the scandal.

That's why the queen beat Wei Ying violently, but Yang Jun didn't even get an ear scraper, because Yang Jin wanted to attend the court meeting and meet people.

At the court meeting in the next few days, no one dared to mention this matter, in fact, no one mentioned it at the beginning, and the reason why Yang Guang knew it was also the news of Yushitai.

But he didn't expect that it was absolutely impossible for things to spread so widely and so quickly, and there was no one behind them.

So who's going to target the dick? It must be the Qin Wang Party.

Yang Guang easily thought of Yang Yinjiang, the princess of Qin, and it seemed that his daughter-in-law was very dissatisfied.

Yang Yue is good at spreading rumors, Yang Guang knows it, because when he was still the king of Jin, Yang Yue began to build momentum for him among the people.

But there are some things, even if Yang Guang knows it in his heart, he has to pretend to be this lake.

It doesn't matter, the days are still long, let's settle accounts after the autumn.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was approaching, and Yang Guang accepted the suggestion of Yang Ming, the king of Qin, and corrected the fifteenth day of the month as the Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth day of July as the Zhongyuan Festival, and the fifteenth day of October as the Xiayuan Festival.

This year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the scale is the same as last year, the officials have made a lot of money, don't look at Yang Ming in Beijing, he still has money, because Luoyang also has his Qin Palace.

Yang Guang planned to return to Beijing after the Shangyuan Festival.

On the evening of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Guang and his sister Yang Lihua sat on the highest observation tower in the imperial city, overlooking the lights of Luoyang.

"Sister thinks, the second and third, which one will not attack the brother, I know that you love Yang Ming, but don't say partial," Yang Guang smiled and looked at the sister on the side.

Yang Lihuahua said: "If you let me tell the truth, then your two sons are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you seem to be most worried that after the two of them go up, they will not attack Zhao'er's children." ”

Yang Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The emperor's family affairs are the most difficult to decide, and I don't want to see them kill each other." ”

Hearing the words cannibalism, Yang Lihua's face suddenly darkened, three of the five younger brothers died, and two of them died in the hands of Yang Guang.

The death of the old man Yang Liang was declared to be a death of illness, but Yang Lihua knew who did it, but she could never pierce this layer of window paper.

Why is it creepy when the four words cannibalism come out of your mouth?

Yang Lihua said: "Your family affairs, I don't want to ask anymore, since I left the Beijing Division, Yang Ming has written me twenty-two letters before and after, all of which are to ask whether my body is okay, and the last one, he hopes that I will not follow you to the north to patrol the fortress, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the wind and cold, and damage my body, I want to think about it, I really can't run around like this anymore, I am old, my body really can't stand it, you say that I am partial to Yang Ming, why am I partial, just because he really cares about me as an aunt, not thinking about taking advantage of me." ”

Yang Guang nodded, he had already heard from the eldest sister's words who the eldest sister was inclined to.

"The third child loves you, I know this," Yang Guang said.

Then, Yang Lihua ordered the maid to take a stack of letterheads and handed them to Yang Guang:

"Twenty-two letters are here, read for yourself."

Yang Guang nodded, picked up one casually, opened it and saw that the words in the letter were all concerned about Yang Lihua's body, and there were even some advices, such as not eating cold food and not boarding the bow of the boat at night......

It's all things that people will arrange in advance.

But from Yang Ming's mouth, it is somewhat moving.

After a long time, Yang Guang raised his head and smiled: "He is closer to you than to me, and the letters he sent me are all about reporting state affairs." ”

"I think about it, I won't go out again when I return to Beijing this time," Yang Lihua said: "How precious you are." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Just follow Sister." ”
