Chapter 658: Threatening to take revenge
Li Yan said to the queen: "I have to go to the front to take a look, and deal with this matter, do you want to go over and have a look together and say a few words of comfort to Yang Ze?" ”
The queen immediately nodded and said: "If you want it, at this time, you can't let the minister chill his heart, this palace has to comfort Yang Ze, he is not only a minister, but also our good son-in-law!" ”
The two of them now attach great importance to Yang Ze's son-in-law, they have just returned to the throne, and there are no ministers with cronies around them, and their son Li Chongjiu is not reliable, at least he is a person who cannot be counted on in a few years, who can they rely on now? Except for Yang Ze, there was no one else for them to rely on.
Li Yan rushed to the imperial study first, and the queen changed her clothes again, which was carried by the little eunuchs, and she sat on a chariot and also went to the imperial study.
Yang Ze sat on a small pier by the door of the imperial study, he was in a good mood now, the plans were going smoothly, if nothing else, there should be results within a few days, and the rest of the things ...... A large part of that is to do one's best, to obey the destiny of heaven.
The little eunuch brought fragrant tea to Yang Ze, and also brought snacks to Yang Ze, the small hawthorn cake used in tea, and the green onion fragrant and crispy, all of which were served on large plates, and a few plates, and the small table where the tea was placed was full.
Yang Ze took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and looked at it, and asked a little eunuch who was waiting on the side, "Why do you eat this kind of 7 small cakes when drinking tea, is it for appetizing?" ”
The little eunuch said with a smile on his face: "Back to the prince's words, isn't this kind of cake just used for appetizing, eat a bite of the cake, you can drink several more sips of tea, this is a good enjoyment." ”
Yang Ze laughed a few times, ate a small hawthorn cake, and took a sip of tea, feeling really delicious. It's a good enjoyment, but it's only a rare good enjoyment for people in this era, and he doesn't think it's anything to himself.
The tea in the palace is a more popular cooking method in the Dafang Empire now, it is really boiling tea, not making tea, not only black tea leaves in the boiling water, but also the kind of tea that is fermented. There are also all kinds of spices, and even some pieces of dough cakes, not so much tea, but tea soup, if the person who cooks the tea looks more pleasing to the tea drinker, then put a little more seasoning or something, it is even more soup, or thick soup.
Yang Ze glanced at the tea soup in his own cup and thought, "The person who made this tea wants to pat my ass." With so much spice added, well, it's a good thing he didn't add any slices of meat or vegetables to it. Otherwise, I'm not drinking tea now, I'm drinking hot pot soup base! ”
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the footsteps were hurried. A little eunuch flew into the imperial study and said to Yang Ze: "Lord, the emperor is coming to the imperial study." It's already outside the hospital, why don't you hurry up and greet the prince? ”
Yang Ze immediately stood up, went out of the imperial study, and stood respectfully at the foot of the steps, when he saw Li Yan's step into the courtyard, he immediately took two steps forward, knelt on the edge of the path, and said: "Minister Yang Ze, meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
Without waiting for the steps to stop, Li Yan said, "Yang Ze, you were assassinated?" Have you ever been injured, have you ever passed on to the Imperial Doctor? ”
Li Yan's concern for Yang Ze was by no means a lie, he was still on top of the steps, so he beckoned to Yang Ze and asked him to come closer and let him take a good look.
Yang Ze stood up, bent over, and arrived at Li Yan's side, Li Yan looked at Yang Ze's face, and saw that his nose was not bruised and swollen, and there were no parts missing, so he put his mind at ease and said, "Fortunately, you are fine, then I will be fine, and I will be relieved." ”
Li Yan stepped down, and Yang Ze followed behind and entered the imperial study together. After taking his seat, Li Yan asked, "Did you catch the assassin, who sent it?" ”
He didn't wait for Yang Ze to answer, so he said: "I thought about it on the way here just now, the assassins must have been sent by those rebellious thieves, and those thieves were afraid that you would find them, so they thought about assassinating you first, and then assassinating me!" ”
As he spoke, Li Yan couldn't help crying, tears were rolling in his eyes, he had survived for so many years, and finally got back to a good life, he really didn't want to lose it again, especially now that the imperial guards participated in the assassination and used trebuchets, so where else is safe?
In fact, Li Yan was not worried about Yang Ze, but worried about himself, he really hadn't lived enough!
Yang Ze hurriedly comforted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that if he wanted to find out about this matter, it would be difficult to say that it was difficult, but to say that it was simple, it was actually very simple, and the minister thought that as long as he caught the mastermind behind the scenes, he would be able to find out clearly." ”
Li Yan sighed: "Yang Ze, what you said is nonsense!" If you can find out who is behind the scenes, then of course you will find out! That's why I told you to put an end to the rebellion sooner rather than later. ”
At this time, the queen arrived, she stepped down outside the imperial study, entered the study, looked at Yang Ze, and saw that Yang Ze was getting up to give her a salute, she knew that Yang Ze had nothing to do, but she and Li Yan looked at things in different directions, and she asked in the first sentence: "It's okay, does Caicai know about this?" ”
The queen and Li Yan are enjoying life these days, but Caicai is still guarding the spirit of the Dugu Empress, the queen feels very sorry for this daughter, or the daughter is intimate, much stronger than her son, so she should naturally be more concerned about Yang Ze, her son-in-law.
Yang Ze hurriedly said: "Caicai doesn't know about this yet, and the minister thinks it's not too good to sue her now, after all, she is still guarding the spirit of the former emperor......"
The queen waved her hand and said: "There is nothing good or bad to say, this matter will be told by the palace, lest those eunuchs and palace maids in the palace chew their tongues and talk nonsense, if Caicai hears any rumors first, then she will be worried, thinking that this matter is hidden from her, there must be something dangerous, maybe you will think that you are injured." ”
Yang Ze didn't say anything more, originally he wanted to talk to Caicai in person, and by the way, he would say something else, only the two of them could know, but since the queen had to volunteer, let her go!
The queen glanced at Li Yan, and when she saw Li Yan's sad face, she said, "You haven't found out who those assassins are yet, right?" Hmph, it is estimated that it is the remnants of those eldest princesses, and among those imperial guards, there must be many who hate Yang Ze, and of course they will hate us. These people want to be replaced as much as possible, and this palace has already told the prince to let him also have a snack on this matter. ”
After that, she was about to turn around and leave, wanting to go to find Caicai, Yang Ze stood up again, as if she was going to send the queen out, but said: "The minister will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, if you find out who the person who instigated it, then the minister must cut the person who instructed it with a thousand knives." No matter who he is, so the minister has a request, and he also asks the emperor for permission. ”
Li Yan thought that he wanted to find someone to take revenge, if there were too many people involved, Yang Ze wanted to kill, he didn't care about it, if the people he killed were guilty, then kill, not indiscriminately killing innocents.
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Just according to what you said." Do it, do what you want! He didn't even ask what Yang Ze wanted to do, and directly agreed.
But the queen turned around. asked, "Yang Ze, what are your requests?" ”
She could also predict that Yang Ze wanted to kill, but she thought that this matter might be very big. In this case, it is better to let the crown prince Li Chongjiu and Yang Ze learn and let Li Chongjiu understand. Don't be merciful to the enemy, and learn to be tough, isn't this a good opportunity!
Yang Ze said: "The minister thinks that someone sent an assassin to kill the minister this time, and he wanted the minister's life......"
Li Yan and the queen have a fun www.biquge.info, this is nonsense, sending assassins to find you, of course they want your life, they definitely don't want to play with you!
Yang Ze continued: "So if the minister finds out the instructor, no matter who he is, the minister will retaliate against him, if the instructor is surnamed Dugu, then maybe he will be related to the emperor, and then ask the emperor not to prevent the minister from taking revenge." ”
He paused, and then said: "The minister asks the emperor not to forgive the messenger, if the messenger comes to ask the emperor and Niangniang, please also ask the emperor and Niangniang not to agree to his request, just pretend not to know, the minister will secretly attack, let this messenger die...... Well, die silently. ”
Li Yan and the empress didn't think much about it, they all thought that it was the assassination of Yang Ze by those thieves and assassins sent by those thieves in the Gyeonggi area! The instigator behind the scenes is estimated to be surnamed Dugu, but whether it is Li Yan or the queen, they don't have a good impression of the people of the Dugu clan, and even Li Yan hopes that the people of the Dugu clan will die and go to the underworld to accompany his mother Empress Dugu, so he agreed with Yang Ze's words one hundred and twenty, and didn't think about it at all.
And the queen was even more simply, she said: "Yang Ze, it's right for you to think like this, you don't need to be polite to those who want to harm you." Also, the people of the Dugu clan may collude with the ministers of the court, and there may also be collusion with the princes of the Li family, you don't have to think too much, if anyone participates in this rebellion, you can just kill it, kill a hundred examples, don't kill a chicken in front of a group of monkeys, and the group of monkeys will never learn to be in awe! ”
After the queen finished speaking, she turned around very imposingly, raised her skirt, and walked out of the imperial study, and the little eunuchs and palace maids outside the study hugged her and went to the bedroom of the Dugu Empress to find vegetables.
Li Yan waited for the queen to leave, looked at Yang Ze, and said: "What is the general situation today, you will tell me in detail, and besides, you have to check for me, if there are people in the imperial guards who participated in the assassination, will there be such assassins in the palace, these are all to be found out as much as possible." ”
Yang Ze said: "Today, the minister took the guards from the military camp outside Beijing, all the way back to ......" He told the story again, but it was not very detailed, Li Yan didn't understand much, Li Yan asked several times in a row, but Yang Ze still said vaguely.
As if he couldn't withstand Li Yan's questioning, Yang Ze had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, Fu Bingrong, the general of the Right God Army, and all the guards of the ministers have seen the situation at that time, and they also went to arrest the assassins, they should know very well, otherwise the emperor will announce that they will enter the palace for questioning?" ”
Li Yan has never liked to see strangers, if he directly let Fu Bingrong and those little generals enter the palace, Li Yan didn't want to see them, but after Yang Ze's vagueness, which aroused Li Yan's curiosity, he was willing to see them.
Yang Ze said: "Your Majesty, the matter of chasing down the assassins is urgent, the ministers will not listen to what the guards have said, the ministers will go to the military department to deal with the matter first, and they have to think of a plan, and then let the guards talk to the ministers later." ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be, but you don't have to be too anxious, everything has to come step by step." ”
He waved his hand, signaling that Yang Ze could go about his own business, and before Yang Ze went out, he told Yang Ze to pay attention to his diet, not to have diarrhea at a critical moment, and so on, many trivial mother-in-law's broken thoughts.
Yang Ze agreed one by one, although Li Yan is not a good emperor, Li Yan is definitely a good father-in-law, and he is really quite good to Yang Ze.
As soon as Yang Ze left, the little eunuch led Fu Bingrong and the little generals to the imperial study, and let the young generals wait in the courtyard first, and Fu Bingrong went in alone. Li Yan doesn't like to see outsiders, but Fu Bingrong is an acquaintance and not an outsider, so he wants to see him first.
Li Yan saw Fu Bingrong and asked bluntly, but Fu Bingrong was hesitant, and he couldn't say it clearly for a long time, and his face was full of I knew, but I didn't dare to say it, so I could only pretend not to know, and his face was full of this expression.
Li Yan wondered, although Yang Ze's assassination was a big deal, it was not a big deal to tell what happened, he would say whatever he saw, why should he be so stubborn.
He and Fu Bingrong are acquaintances, and they know that once Fu Bingrong is like this, he can't ask anything no matter how he asks, but it doesn't matter, Fu Bingrong is not the only one here who has seen the past.
Li Yan sent Fu Bingrong out, and then called in those little generals, and asked these little generals to tell the truth, what kind of experience was it.
Almost all of the little generals entered the palace for the first time, and they were all very excited, especially after just experiencing an assassination, and now they can enter the palace to face the saints, they are young people who have never seen much of the world, can they not be excited.
After seeing Li Yan, they lay on the ground and kowtowed, they were thinking about how to praise the greatness of our emperor, but they heard Li Yan ask them to tell Yang Ze about the assassin's encounter.
The little generals all wanted to leave an impression in front of the emperor, of course, they rushed to say, no one is far behind, it is not easy to meet the emperor, if the limelight is robbed by others, it is too worthless.
What's more, they are only part of the way in, and there are more people like them outside the palace, who are also looking forward to entering the palace to face the saints, if they don't say something clearly, and the emperor calls the people outside in, but the people outside make it clear, wouldn't it seem that they themselves are stupid.
Li Yan asked what they answered, and even some words were not asked, they also rushed to say it, when it came to trebuchet, Li Yan was just surprised, but when the little generals said that the dead imperial guard was from the East Palace, and he confessed in person, Li Huang was not only surprised, it could be said to be surprised!
Li Yan almost didn't hear what those little generals said later, he just thought in his heart: "It's bad, something big happened this time, it seems that those assassins were sent by Chongjiu!" This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, can't you let me have a few days of peaceful birthday? ”
Suddenly, Li Yan said loudly: "It's okay, shut up, you go out, go out with Fu Bingrong, I already know what you said, this matter needs to be kept secret, and you can't talk about it to others." ”
The little generals were taken aback, I don't know how Li Yan could say such a sentence and want to keep it secret? What happens on the street, even if they are willing to keep it a secret, no one else will keep it a secret for them! (To be continued......)
