Chang Anqing

Chapter 362
A gust of north wind blew up, and Chang'an City entered winter so silently. Chang'an City in December was a bit more peaceful and serene compared to the golden laziness of the city in autumn.In this room, Yang Chongyuan, who was in court, was in a rare mood. He was sitting opposite Liang Wang and knocking chess pieces under the window. Outside the window was the sound of the north wind beating the leaves, and the tea was boiling on the small red clay stove beside his ears. .

Smelling the fragrance of tea, Yang Chongyuan's expression was rare and at ease. At this moment, he smiled and said, "Sanlang's chess skills have retreated a bit—"

Liang Wang Yang Hongqing on the opposite side smiled when he heard the words, raised his eyes and said to Yang Chongyuan, "Your Majesty's chess skills have always been superior to our brothers, and now I can hold this cup of tea with Your Majesty, which shows that my chess skills have improved. "

Hearing King Liang's words, Yang Chongyuan laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.

"I think this kid, Jun Yi, is becoming more and more stable, and he is much more promising than the prince and his brothers."

Hearing what Yang Chongyuan said, King Liang hurriedly said humbly: "Your Majesty is really Miao Zan. The crown prince and all the kings are nobles of the emperor, and all of them have accomplished literary and martial arts. How could Jun Yi be able to match it? This child returned it to you a few days ago. I've had trouble, and it's a headache."

"Oh?"

Hearing King Liang's words, Yang Chongyuan raised his eyes unexpectedly and smiled, "What happened?"

King Liang felt a little ashamed when he heard that Yang Xiao rescued Zhao Su, the lord of Anyang County, on Mid-Autumn Night and had a conflict with King Xuan Yang Xingjian. unhappy.

"Liu Lang is acting more and more crazy now."

Seeing that Yang Chongyuan was angry, King Liang hurriedly said from the sidelines: "Liu Lang is the eldest brother's son, and he has a noble status. It is natural to dote on him on weekdays. What's more, the eldest brother passed away not long ago. It is not easy for this child. He is so young. To take on the heavy responsibility of a government—"

Hearing what King Liang said, Yang Chongyuan turned pale, but what King Liang said next made him change his face again.

"It's just that this incident offended the King of Yuling and Princess Yuling. The secret guards of the Palace of Yuling almost clashed with Liu Lang's slave in the street, and Princess Yuling scolded Liu Lang in front of everyone. "

Liang Wang took a careful look at Yang Chongyuan's unhappy face, and continued to consider his words: "If Liu Lang hadn't lost his temper and left first, I'm afraid this matter would become a big problem."

"Although Liulang was at fault in this matter, the behavior of the Yuling King and his wife is unavoidably a bit domineering. Today, under your majesty's jurisdiction, the two of them sent troops to encircle my royal family of the Yang family and stand in the street like this. Insults will inevitably damage the dignity of my royal family, just from this trivial matter, it can be seen that the Li family and the Yuling Palace seem to be more and more self-reliant—"

After the words fell, the hall fell into an eerie silence, only the sound of "gulu-gulu-" boiling tea could be heard. After a long time, Yang Chongyuan calmed down. Although his brows had calmed down, he still couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger.

"The minister is talking too much——"

While the clothes were rustling, King Liang who was seated opposite him suddenly reacted, and hurriedly stood up in fear and fear, and was about to bow down to salute, but Yang Chongyuan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Get up."

When King Liang returned to his seat, Yang Chongyuan dropped the chess piece in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Amidst the mist of tea soup, his eyes flickered with different colors and said: "Sanlang thought, How about Zhao Yi?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's question, Liang Wang's face changed slightly, and he lowered his eyelids unconsciously, not daring to meet Yang Chongyuan's gaze.

"It's okay, today is just a gossip between you and my brother, you just say it."

Seeing what Yang Chongyuan had said, King Liang naturally didn't dare to excuse himself any longer, so he had to think about it, and then he said carefully: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, Zhao Yi has an extraordinary face, and he has killed too much. Every time I see him, I always feel sad." Afraid, now that Zhao Yi and the Longxi Li family are relying on each other again, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is gentle and kind, I am afraid that in the long run, this person may not be willing to live under my subordinates—”

At the end of the words, Liang Wang's voice gradually faded away, and when he looked up secretly, he saw Yang Chongyuan's eyebrows filled with suffocating suspicion.

In the emperor's heart, the seed of suspicion towards Li and Zhao Yi had been planted all the time. As long as they watered it daily, this seed would eventually grow into a towering tree.

At nightfall, Yang Chongyuan, who had changed into a Taoist robe, was accompanied by Liu Shoucheng, and came to Sanqing Temple in the emperor's chariot. He smelled the familiar sandalwood fragrance, and Yang Chongyuan managed to get rid of his exhaustion and relax rarely.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Dao Qing in a plain blue robe saluting, Yang Chongyuan said with a smile like an old friend: "Immortal Master, please sit down, I will be a nuisance tonight."

Daoqing laughed and said nothing when they heard the words, and when the two sat down facing each other, Daotong took the tea cups and put them one by one in his next life, and then retreated with Liu Shoucheng and closed the door.

"Today, I went to the immortal master at Xingye, and I want to ask the immortal master to explain something for me."

Hearing what Yang Chongyuan said, Daoqing nodded and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I want to ask the immortal master to observe a person's face for me."

Daoqing raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and then said, "I don't know whose face it is?"

"Yu Ling Wang Zhao Yi."

As soon as these words came out, Dao Qing knew it clearly, and the next moment he heard Yang Chongyuan continue to ask: "I don't know what to do for Immortal Master."

"The truth is clear, but you can give it a try."

After receiving Daoqing's answer, a satisfied smile overflowed Yang Chongyuan's lips, and he said, "Then I will wait for the news from the immortal master."

The next day, Li Sui and Zhao Yi who heard the news met their eyes, and the next moment Li Sui slightly opened his lips and said: "Yesterday, only King Liang entered the palace to accompany him for a long time. It seems that King Liang made up his mind not to be in harmony with us. Together."

Having said that, Li Sui was not surprised by this. She knew that although the Yang and Li families were related by marriage, they were already like a torrent under the ice, which would erupt at some point.

Now, it's just maintaining the calm on the surface, and the face and heart are at odds.

"That's fine, the emperor has long been afraid of us in every possible way. Now that the kings have gone to the fiefdoms, the conflict of seizing the heirloom has been temporarily suppressed. The eyes of my uncle, the emperor, naturally fell on you and me." .”

Li Sui smiled and said complacently: "Instead of attracting suspicion here, we might as well retreat bravely and put on an appearance of retreating, so as to satisfy their superiority."

Zhao Yi heard the words: "You mean, leave Chang'an?"

Li Sui nodded and said: "I have stayed in Chang'an City for eighteen years, and now I can finally step out and see the great rivers and mountains outside."

"You don't worry about the East Palace, don't worry about the Li family?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Li Sui smiled and said: "You may have said that the road should always be walked by oneself. Now with the help of Taifu Lu and the others, Erlang has become more and more like a prince in his actions, but our majesty does not want to go. Just face it squarely, I'm just afraid that the more you and I help Erlang in Chang'an, the more presumptuous it will be in the eyes of the emperor, and the more people will belittle Erlang's talent. Besides, Erlang also has his aunt, aunt, and grandpa. Assistant Ye, what big mistake can you make?"

"You are not afraid of going here, and it will be difficult to come back."

Hearing this sentence, Li Sui's eyes flashed, and he took a piece of fruit leisurely and said: "I, Li Sui, not only want to go back, but also have a good time, teach them to invite us back."

Seeing that Li Sui was so sure, Zhao Yi knew that she must have made up her mind a long time ago, so she smiled without doubt: "The Princess has already said so, so I have no worries."

"It's just that the Son of Heaven is very suspicious. If you and I ask to leave on our own initiative, I'm afraid people will think we have some schemes."

Li Sui responded with a smile when he heard the words: "So, we should find a suitable person to make peace for you and me."

"Who?"

Seeing Zhao Yi looking over curiously, Li Sui leaned closer to him with a smile and whispered in his ear: "Shang Shu's right servant shoots, Su Hui."
