From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 182 Open and honest

"If you have something to say, just say it."

The snow on both sides of the Weihe River was dyed golden by the rising sun.

Xu Ziling looked at Liao Kong and his party who were gradually disappearing from sight, hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but say: "My little brother just thinks that Shi Feixuan's actions may be inappropriate, but after all, she is a person of the right way.

Brother Yang, you treat her like this... ahem, it's too much. "

"Heh, I didn't beat her or scold her, how much can I go too far?" Yang Qing looked at Xu Ziling and said with a smile: "You have Shi Qingxuan in your heart, but now you complain about the concubine Shi, this is too much.

Let Shi Zhixuan know, he will be the first to clean up. "

Xu Ziling looked embarrassed: "How did Brother Yang know about Qingxuan?"

"It doesn't matter how I know, but you'd better go and see Shan Wanjing first, so that you won't be kicked out of the boat later."

"Shan Wanjing?" Xu Ziling was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered that Shi Zhixuan had just appeared from the cabin.

"Shi Zhixuan hid on the boat early in the morning, waiting for you to send the relics to the door. Their breath is still there, they should have been tapped."

After Yang Qing finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up from the boat and flew towards the shore.

"Brother Yang?"

"I still have something to do, I'll be back later."

Seeing Yang Qing going further and further away, Xu Ziling turned around and went to the upper cabin, only to see Shan Wanjing and Shan Meixian, mother and daughter, sitting on the chairs in the room, completely motionless.

……

After wading to the shore, Yang Qing walked along the road to Chang'an City for a while, and returned not far from the city gate again.

Although it was still early in the morning, there were already a lot of soldiers outside Chang'an City because of the turmoil on the river just now.

There were many people watching and discussing by the river, talking about the scene of Tianlong falling into the water just now with their own eyes.

"Is there really a dragon?"

"Really, a few monks went into the water to catch them, but they were pushed into the river by the dragon."

Yang Qing didn't care about what people said. He glanced at a stall selling fish soup that got up early in the morning on the bank, and walked over to sit down in front of the simple stall.

I ordered a bowl of fish soup, added two pieces of Hubing, and ate it leisurely.

This sitting until the sun was high, the diners in front of the stall had already dispersed, and the boss was also preparing to close the stall, only then did he see a rush of people inside and outside the city gate.

The top of the city is also occupied by elite guards who are clearly different from the guards.

"Welcome Your Royal Highness!"

Li Jiancheng personally went to the four cities of Chang'an to comfort the soldiers. This is the news from Li Shimin.

Yang Qinger heard the commotion inside and outside the city, got up and walked into the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing Li Jiancheng approaching from the side of the city wall, he silently estimated the range of his sword energy, and moved closer.

On the top of the city, surrounded by the crowd, Li Jiancheng walked quickly along the city wall.

The news of Liu Wuzhou's southward travel reached Chang'an yesterday, and Li Yuan called the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty until late at night.

He wanted to avoid this trip to the army today, but was dismissed by Li Shimin with the argument that it is more necessary to stabilize the morale of the army in times of chaos, and Li Yuan rarely agreed.

At this moment, listening to the flattery of the officials on the left and right, what was on his mind was the battle situation in Jinyang and Li Yuanji's safety, so it was inevitable that he walked a little faster.

"I learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, and earlier today a heavenly dragon descended to the earth and fell to the bottom of the Weihe River. It can be seen that the Crown Prince's virtue and benevolence is really a blessing for me in the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Shimin was assassinated a few days ago, there were rumors that Tianlong was protecting him.

This person also wanted to use this to flatter Li Jiancheng, but he felt differently in the latter's ears.

"Tianlong?" Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously, "What Tianlong?"

Countless people witnessed Yang Qing gathering energy like a dragon at Yuema Bridge and freezing Yang Xuyan in Yong'an Canal before, so he naturally knew it well.

At this time, when someone mentioned it again, doubts arose in my heart.

"It's right there." The official beside him pointed to the center of the river: "At dawn, a giant white jade dragon jumped into the river."

Li Jiancheng looked in the direction of his finger, the river was calm and there were no waves, and there was no abnormality between the boats.

He shook his head and was about to move on, when he looked away, he suddenly saw a tall man standing in the crowd below the city, smiling lightly at him.

Yang Qing's name flashed across his mind, and he was shocked for a moment.

"call out!"

Before he could react, a sharp howl pierced the air in his ear, and then a sharp pain came from his wrist.

The people accompanying him didn't even react until the invisible sword energy hit the city wall and stone, sending bricks and stones flying everywhere.

Looking at Li Jiancheng's bloody wrist, the city was in chaos:
"There are assassins!"

Leaving behind countless high-pitched roars, Yang Qing broke away from the crowd and floated away along the bank of the Wei River.

He chased all the way along the way, and re-boarded the ship near evening, and Shen Luoyan had renegotiated terms with Kou Zhong.

He didn't bother to pay attention to these trivial matters, and after greeting everyone, he went back to the cabin he had arranged for himself, and continued to think about creating his own seal formula.

At the same time, he also made up his mind that when he returned to Luoyang this time, it was time for a showdown with Yuan Wendu and others.

……

After that, there was nothing to say all the way, until the ship turned from the Wei River to the Yellow River waterway, and when it approached Luoyang, five ships full of Luoyang navy came up from afar.

At noon, Yang Qing was sitting quietly in the cabin, when suddenly Shen Luoyan knocked on the door:
"Your Majesty, Luoyang has arrived."

He got up and opened the door, and stepped out of the cabin.

Standing at a high place, he immediately saw the five ships approaching in front of him.

On the tallest ship in the middle, Yuan Wendu and others were standing on the bow and looking forward to it.

"You sent the news."

Shen Luoyan said helplessly: "On the day I left, I sent back the news that all of you are back, sooner or later you won't be able to avoid this."

At this time, Luo Shixin and others also stepped forward, looking at the welcoming fleet.

Kou Zhong sighed in admiration: "If I have such a navy...hehe."

He laughed dryly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Brother Emperor, you said that day in Chang'an that you would give it to me when you came to Luoyang with you..."

"Think about it yourself." Yang Qing smiled slightly and said, "If you really want to be emperor, I'll give it to you."

He moved his eyes to Xu Ziling, nodded slightly and said, "There will be a period later."

Without waiting for a response, he flew towards Yuan Wendu's boat.

Kou Zhong watched him fall far to the opposite bow, the crowd fell to their knees, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't I think clearly enough? Could it be regret?"

Xu Ziling's mind was more focused on Yang Qing's leaping figure, and he couldn't help thinking about when his lightness kung fu would reach this level.

Hearing Kou Zhong's complaint, he walked back and said, "I also think you should think clearly."

"You said that too?" Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Forget it, let's go back and think about it slowly."

Shen Luoyan smiled from the side: "You can go, just keep what you promised me."

Kou Zhong smiled wryly: "Your son and the emperor don't do it anymore, what do you need these things for? Will you leave them to Li Shimin in the future?"

"Whether he should be emperor or not is another matter, but things must be kept." Shen Luoyan shook his head and said, "Besides, how do you know that the future isn't for you?"

"You always have a point..."

……

"Veteran Yuan Wendu, welcome the emperor back to court!"

The moment Yang Qing landed on the bow, starting from Yuan Wendu, all civil servants and generals immediately fell to the ground and bowed down.

He glanced across the crowd, only to see Guo Wenyi, Lu Chu, Zhao Changwen, including Pei Renji.

"Get up."

"Your majesty, old minister..."

When they stood up, Yang Qing waved his sleeves and interrupted without waiting for Yuan Wen to say more: "I know what you want to say, I also have something to tell you, come with me."

As he spoke, he stepped over the crowd and walked towards the spacious cabin behind them first.

Sitting down in the chief seat in the cabin, he ordered the guards to close the doors and windows tightly, and all backed away before looking at Yuan Wendu and the others again.

These people were all loyal party members who were once controlled by Wang Shichong because they supported Yang Tong.

Pei Renji also stood firmly on his side and sent Pei Xingyan to help him several times.

Seeing him wave back the guards, they seemed to have a secret to discuss, but they kept silent at the moment. After looking at each other, Lu Chudang couldn't bear to ask:
"Emperor... Your Majesty, you left the palace privately this time, and left Luoyang in...disregard. This is not what you did!"

Everyone is familiar with Lu Chu's behavior. Although he said it radically, they also knew that Yang Qing would not blame him.

It's just that it's been more than a month, seeing Yang Qing silently at this moment, it's inevitable that I feel uneasy.

Seeing this, Yuan Wendu went through several twists and turns in his heart, but he still took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also worried..."

"My name is Yang Qing, not Yang Tong." Yang Qing put one hand on the table beside him, looked at Yuan Wendu and asked calmly, "Prime Minister Yuan, can't you tell?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty, old minister..."

"Yang Tong and I may really look alike, but you have been with him for many years, so you really don't have any doubts?" Yang Qing said lightly, "He and I are two people."

"emperor!"

Guo Wenyi and the others changed their complexions, and then they all knelt down and said anxiously: "This is just a rumor in the market, I never believe that there will be such a thing!"

"I don't believe it either!"

"Why do these two people say that the emperor is the emperor!"

"When I am willing to saddle up for the emperor, I will never dare to have other thoughts."

Seeing everyone kneel down, Pei Renji stood there at a loss.

Unlike Yuan Wendu and others, he defeated Wagang in the early years, so it cannot be said that he knew nothing about Yang Tong, but he had never seen him at all.

Hearing Yang Qing's shocking words at this moment, and seeing the chaos in the scene, he didn't know what to do.

"Ah." With a soft sigh, Yang Qing waved his sleeves and swept away, and the soft true energy surged out, supporting everyone.

"All sit down."

"Your servant will not sit down!" Guo Wenyi said with a flick of his sleeves, "Did the emperor hear any nonsense when he left Luoyang this time? Why did he say this all of a sudden?"

Seeing that the emotions of several people were unstable, Yang Qing turned to Yuan Wendu: "Prime Minister Yuan, I will ask again, do you really not know?"

As soon as his words fell, the rest of the people immediately fell silent, and only focused their gaze on the past, with serious and nervous expressions.

"I... old minister..." Yuan Wendu looked at Yang Qing, finally heaved a sigh of relief under his scorching gaze, and said with a depressed face, "the old minister knows."

"From the first time I saw him, the old minister knew that the emperor was not the same person as before."

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the other people changed, but because Yang Qing was right in front of him, they didn't stop him after all.

Yuan Wen seemed to have let go of the heavy burden he had been carrying for a long time, looked around at the people in the cabin, then sat down on a chair beside him, then looked at Yang Qing and said:
"Yang Tong, the king of Yue... I was entrusted by the late emperor to assist him to sit in the eastern capital. Later, the late emperor was in trouble, and I watched him ascend the throne as emperor. He was good at accepting advice, and he also had the idea of ​​helping the world and revitalizing the court. But after all, the young You are young, and your temper is a little weaker."

Speaking of Yuan Wen, he smiled helplessly: "At the beginning, the ministers and others conspired to get rid of Wang Shichong, but they were killed by traitors and even imprisoned. They thought they would die this time.

When I don't want to see the sun again, your majesty has changed when you reappear.

Not only did he send people to rescue me, but he also killed Wang Shichong among the thousands of troops, and after that, he attracted all the people to worship with just a few words. With such a grand occasion, the old minister can't remember the last time we saw each other. "

"Afterwards, the old minister had someone investigate and found out that you, the emperor, were poisoned and killed by Wang Shichong, that's why you escaped from the palace. I also thought about whether there would be someone with evil intentions who pretended to be a fake.

But your subsequent actions, Your Majesty, dispelled the old minister's doubts.

Carrying out benevolent government, delegating authority, and disregarding beauty and beauty, how can an ambitious person pretend to be like this? "

Yang Qing nodded and said, "So what? You recognize me as the emperor?"

"That's right!" Yuan Wendu said sternly: "Where is the original King of Yue now? This old official has nowhere to check, and he is unwilling to check. The old official is willing to regard you as emperor, and is willing to be driven by you!"

"That's exactly the reason!" Zhao Changwen interjected: "Not to mention whether there will be two people who are so similar in the world, compared to before, I am more willing to serve the emperor by his side!"

"Chen... so does the minister!"

Lu Chu said angrily: "Nowadays the world is in turmoil, and it takes someone like you who is capable of writing and martial arts to bring peace to the world and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Yang Qing rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "It is true to say that I am capable of martial arts, but it is too much to say that I am capable of writing."

Seeing how many people were about to be distinguished, he quickly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Since you already know my identity, let me explain more clearly now that I have finished talking.

I can't be the emperor. "

"Your Majesty." Pei Renji clasped his fists at this moment and said, "In my opinion, since you and the King of Yue look exactly like Yang, and you have the same surname Yang, you cannot be said to be a family, but there may be twists and turns that led to the separation of the people.

Now it is reasonable to assume the right position, so there is no need to worry about status. "

"That's right, it must be like this!" Guo Wenyi asserted: "If there is no blood relationship, they will never have the same appearance!"

"You still don't understand." Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Helping the community and bringing peace to the world is something that a human being can hardly accomplish even if he spends his whole life.

But my ambition is not here, I am afraid I cannot help you fulfill your wish. "

"Your Majesty, you...do you want to leave me alone?" Guo Wenyi tremblingly said, "Then Luoyang is full of soldiers and civilians, what should we do?"

"The throne is vacant, how do you let the ministers deal with themselves?"

Yang Qing thought for a moment in the complicated eyes of several people and asked, "What do you think of the Li clan?"

"Li Yuan?" Yuan Wendu lost his voice: "This is a national thief!"

"Does the emperor want to hand over the ancestral foundation? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

I'm so...

Hearing a burst of crying, Yang Qing also felt a headache.

After talking for a long time just now, several people also admitted that they knew that they were not Yang Tong.But when it comes to the main topic, the ancestor's foundation industry is still mentioned without thinking about it.

He also knew that Yuan Wendu and others might not be able to accept Luoyang completely handed over to others.

There are too many involved in this, except for himself, it is difficult for others not to think about their own interests.

But now that they have already said hello, they are prepared in their hearts, and they will have a beginning and an end when they leave in the future.

"Forget it, let's go back to the palace first."

Seeing several people crying, Yang Qing got up and went out with a wave of his sleeves...
