Paper can't hold the fire, can't hide the fire, and can't isolate the temperature.

In the past two days, there have been constant discussions in Beijing, and at the beginning, the people naturally did not believe that General Yang had assassinated His Majesty.

In their impression, General Yang was deeply trusted by Emperor He and His Majesty, and took the lead in quelling the rebellion when Emperor He was critically ill. After that, he did more benevolent and righteous policies, so that the people lived a stable and good life, how could General Yang, who was worried about the country and the people, assassinate His Majesty?

However, the shouting that did not stop before the daily curfew gradually weakened the confidence of the people, and during this period, some people stood up to refute, some were scholars, some veterans, some street vendors, and even local ruffians, but they were immediately drowned out by the rebuttals from nowhere.

It is said that Yang Qi is actually stubborn and self-serving, relying on the trust of the emperor to do wrong, not only acting arbitrarily in the court, ignoring the saints, but also holding the military power to support the army and self-respect, but also winning the hearts of the people everywhere, and the heart of rebellion has long been revealed.

The people are becoming less determined.

......

Hall of Enlightenment.

"They are talking nonsense! Who gave them the guts? I will arrest the people who spread rumors, and not one of them will be missed!" Zhao Qinian was furious after hearing Gonggong Hong's report, and slapped his palm heavily on the bookcase.

Gonggong Hong lowered his head, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now that the people in Beijing are panicking, the old slave guesses that the noble ministers will definitely take advantage of this to cause trouble, which is not good for General Yang." ”

"What kind of disadvantage?"

"Your Majesty will ask Your Majesty to punish General Yang with a canonical punishment. ”

Zhao Qiqing laughed, "Didn't you already put your father-in-law in prison?

Gonggong Hong raised his eyes and immediately lowered his head, "Your Majesty, assassinating Your Majesty is a capital crime." ”

Zhao Qinian was stunned for a moment, a little panicked, "My father-in-law didn't really assassinate me, how can he be sentenced to death?"

"Your Majesty, most of the officials don't know, and the people don't know either. ”

Zhao Qinian gasped twice, "Then someone will tell the world and tell the truth." ”

Gonggong Hong wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say much.

He is just Zhao Qinian's personal father-in-law, and he shouldn't talk about political affairs, let alone make a statement, so he had to nod his head. It's just that now Li Xiang is seriously ill and can't manage the government, and there are not many people who can make suggestions to His Majesty and are willing to help General Yang.

"Get up, I'm going to the prison. ”

"Wow. After speaking, Gonggong Hong bowed and retreated, but he gestured to the beam without a trace.

He walked out of the Qi Nian Palace, ordered someone to arrange Zhao Qinian's frame, and waited at the door for a while before he saw a person jumping off the eaves.

"Is there something wrong with Grandpa Hong?" Taizheng was still wearing a white robe, which was particularly conspicuous in the palace where court clothes were full.

"Your Majesty doesn't know about Li Xiang's illness yet, nor does he understand General Yang's current situation, the old slave is inconvenient to say, and you need to inform Your Majesty of your master and apprentice. ”

Taejeong's mouth opened slightly, scratching his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know." ”

Gonggong Hong was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled, and then remembered that there was a small child in front of him, "Then you secretly go out of the palace to find Chen Kang, the head of the household department, and pass the news from the palace to Lord Chen." ”

"Chen Shangshu should know the situation?" asked Tai Zheng suspiciously.

Gonggong Hong sighed, "Your Majesty's heart is a little messy, someone has to sort it out for Your Majesty." ”

......

The midday sun shone into the house, basking on the body warmly.

Li Jinglan sat on the bed with a book in his hand and watched quietly, turning his head from time to time to look at Li Congwen who was sitting on a chair reading quietly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook but immediately smoothed out.

Both relieved and worried.

The sentences in the book are often obscure, so Li Congwen didn't have long to read and turned his head to ask.

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Li Jinglan glanced at Li Congwen's finger and knew what it was, and after patiently explaining, seeing that Li Congwen was still staring at him, he couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?"

"Dad, most of the truths in these books are too difficult to understand, even if you say it, I don't understand it. Li Congwen scratched his head in annoyance, feeling that it was much more difficult to study than to practice swords.

"If you don't understand, remember it, and you'll understand when you meet it later. ”

"But there are so many truths in this, I'm afraid I can't remember them. ”

"Then force memorization. ”

"Why? Didn't my eldest brother and second brother remember it very well? Why didn't you allow them to be officials?" Li Congwen felt that his father might not be a good gentleman, at least the gentleman in the school would tell them allusions when someone didn't understand them, but his father only let him remember.

Li Jinglan sighed, "They remember because they want to remember, you are not." ”

Li Congwen was stunned for a moment, not feeling that he was any different from the eldest brother and the second brother, "What about Brother Chen?"

"That's Elder Chen giving Kang'er a good start. ”

Li Congwen scratched his head, the more he asked, the more he didn't understand, he simply put down the book and asked about things he was more concerned about, "Uncle Yang's situation is not good." ”

"Yes. ”

"Brother Chen went to the palace just now, and I told him to let His Majesty lead troops to surround the Xungui family, forcing them to let Uncle Yang go and not spread rumors again. ”

"Even if it does, it will only make His Majesty and the nobles separate, which is not a good thing for Mingwu, and it is also contrary to General Yang's ideas. Li Jinglan shook his head, "Now the people have gradually believed the rumors, and they feel that General Yang is rebellious, and it is a little difficult to save General Yang." ”

Li Congwen snapped the book shut, leaned forward and raised his eyebrows at his father, "Dad, in fact, it's very simple for me to save Uncle Yang." ”

Li Jinglan also raised eyebrows that were quite similar to Li Congwen, "Oh?

Li Congwen casually threw the book on the bed and patted his thigh, "Prison robbery." ”

Prison robbery? This is what the son of Prime Minister Mingwu Zuo should say?

Li Congwen knew what he was thinking when he saw his father's slightly glaring eyes, and hurriedly said: "Dad, you think, ordinary methods are useless now, but there is a lot to be done in robbing prisons." There are very few guards in the prison this year, and many of the generals and veterans in the guards are Uncle Yang's cronies, and they definitely want to save Uncle Yang.

We only need to contact some of them, make up dozens of horsemen to wait outside the prison, and then let two hundred horsemen wait at the north gate, and go straight to the north after picking up Uncle Yang. There are cavalry from the northern frontier stationed in the northern suburbs, and now they only obey His Majesty's orders, and His Majesty will definitely not stop them, and no one can stop them along the way. As long as Uncle Yang enters the northern frontier, the king of the north will definitely protect Uncle Yang. ”

Li Congwen's eyes grunted as he spoke, obviously the plan just now had just come up with it, but it didn't prevent him from getting more and more excited the more he talked.

Li Jinglan still sat quietly and sighed, "How can you let Your Majesty deal with yourself when you act like this......?"

Li Jinglan was interrupted by Li Congwen halfway through speaking, "Dad, if you don't care about this, you can't do anything, Your Majesty will be a little wronged, but Presumably Your Majesty is willing." ”

Li Jinglan still shook his head, His Majesty has to suffer not only grievances, but also just talking about robbing prisons, I am afraid it is not as easy as he said.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, and I heard Lao Chen Dao:

"Li Xiang, Gongzi, Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi is here. ”
