Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Li... Li Ke, His Highness the King of Shu?"

Lu Chengqing opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise, "Mr. Jin, isn't your purpose to get close to the King of Wei, and then gain his trust for your use? Why did you drag out another King of Shu for no reason?"

Yang Yong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Chengqing, and said with a sneer, "How can Li Tai, the king of Wei, be compared with Li Ke, the king of Shu? Lu Chengqing, have you forgotten who Li Ke's mother is?"

"I know, the mother of the King of Shu is Concubine Yang. Ah... I understand." Lu Chengqing immediately figured out the ins and outs of it, and exclaimed, "Concubine Yang is the former princess of the Sui royal family. The blood of the Sui royal family."

"To be precise, Concubine Yang's father, Yang Guang, and I are brothers of the same mother. She should call me uncle, but what about Li Ke, king of Shu? Naturally, he calls me uncle. He has half of my Sui royal family's blood on him." Bloodline."

When Yang Yong said this, his face became a little brighter, and he said: "People, at fifty, know the destiny. I am over fifty now, and I have no descendants. Therefore, if Li Ke can inherit Li Shimin's throne, isn't this Li Tang Jiangshan indirectly returned to the hands of our Great Sui Yang family?"

Boom~~

Lu Chengqing's heart was suddenly turbulent, and he was secretly horrified. It turned out that Yang Yong, the wandering prince, had this idea.

For a moment, several characters were connected together in his mind, Yang Yong, Yang Fei, Li Ke, the former Sui Dynasty survivors in and out of the Tang Dynasty...

It's horrible, it's crazy!

Lu Chengqing didn't dare to despise Yang Yong any more in his heart. On the contrary, he looked at Yang Yong with more fear, even awe!

"Okay, don't be stunned!"

Yang Yong waved his hand, woke up Lu Chengqing who was in a daze, and said: "Sleep well tonight, and you will lead me into Wei Wang's mansion tomorrow morning, to see His Royal Highness Wei Wang who 'favors all the princes'. You have to hurry up, otherwise if that bitch Yu Wenqian can track down my whereabouts, there will be more troubles, and then it will be too late for regrets!"

"Understood, tomorrow morning, I will definitely take you into Wei Wangfu to meet Wei Wang."

Lu Chengqing bowed respectfully, then asked his hands: "Mr. Jin, I will take you back to your room to rest now, please..."

While speaking, Yang Yong had already walked out of Lu Chengqing's bedroom at Lu Chengqing's respectful request.

……

……

At night, Taipingfang, Yizhou Houfu.

Guo Ye left Yunshang from the Hongbin Building, and after returning to the Hou Mansion for dinner, he chatted with his wife Xiuxiu for a while, and shared with her the details of his first day in the Ministry of Rites. So that Xiuxiu won't worry.

At about the same time, the young couple gradually felt tired and sleepy, ready to go to bed and sleep.

At this moment, there was an untimely and boring knock on the door.

After the knock on the door, Wang Bajin's voice came from outside: "My lord, shopkeeper Huang Aohuang said that he has something to report, and he is waiting in your study!"

Huang Ao, the shopkeeper of Haitian Feast Restaurant and the old man of Guo Ye's mansion.

After Guo Ye came back from Yunshang's place before, he asked Zhang Jiujin to meet Huang Ao at the Haitian Feast Restaurant, and asked Huang Ao to find a way to find out if someone had recently moved into Lu Chengqing's Lu's mansion.

Huang Ao is different now, he is not only the shopkeeper of Haitian Feast Restaurant, but also the brother-in-law of Yu Deshui, the former Governor of Chang'an and the new Yushi Tai Yushi.

Therefore, Guo Ye knew that Huang Ao must have a way to find out the specific situation in Lu's mansion.

Guo Ye knew that Huang Ao acted cautiously and abided by the rules. He could still disturb him rashly during this sleeping time.

Immediately, Guo Ye got off the bed and asked Wang Bajin to wait outside, then he whispered something comforting to Wu Xiuxiu while putting on his clothes, then walked out of the bedroom and opened the door, and said to Wang Bajin, "Go let me The servants will make a cup of tea and send it to the study, I will go see Huang Ao."

After finishing his voice, he left Wang Bajin behind and walked towards the study room by himself, taking advantage of the bright moonlight to illuminate the road.

Chapter 859 Former Sui Prince VS Datang Prince

Yizhou Marquis Mansion, in the study.

Guo Ye took two sips of hot tea and asked, "Huang Ao, how is the investigation going? Has there been any change in the Lu Mansion?"

After not seeing him for a long time, Guo Ye found that Huang Ao is indeed different now, at least his face is red, and he is much richer, so it can be seen that although his wife is fat, she is very prosperous.

Seeing Guo Ye's question, Huang Ao put the cup in his hand back on the table, sat upright and replied respectfully as before: "Master Hou, the butler of Lu's Mansion is a regular customer of our Haitian Shengyan Restaurant. Inviting him to drink and get him drunk, this servant accidentally slipped his mouth, saying that a new face has recently moved into their house, and his master Lu Chengqing is very respectful to this person, and he gave a private courtyard in Lu's house. Open it up for this person to live alone."

Guo Ye gave a nod and nodded slightly, secretly thought, it seems that this girl Yunshang did not lie to me, Jiumozhi, oh no, the former Sui prince Yang Yong really hid in the Lu Mansion, and has an ulterior relationship with Lu Chengqing .

Then, he asked again: "Aside from this, what else did you find out?"

Huang Ao recalled it thoughtfully, and continued: "The housekeeper of the Lu residence mentioned that this new distinguished guest is very withdrawn and has a very bad temper, and basically stays in the private courtyard and never sees anyone. but……"

"But what?"

"However, the housekeeper said that he passed by Lu Chengqing's study two days ago, and overheard this distinguished guest of the Lu Mansion asking Lu Chengqing to make a connection, saying that he wanted Lu Chengqing to introduce him to His Royal Highness King Wei."

"what?"

Guo Ye was stunned. Yang Yong was going to meet Wei Wang Li Tai. The exiled prince of the Sui Dynasty wanted to meet the prince of the Tang Empire?This is too shocking.

He kept thinking about the purpose of Yang Yong's request to see Li Tai. Dozens of possible reasons flashed through his mind. Finally, he muttered to himself: "Could it be that Yang Yong still wants to play peaceful evolution? Will the fortress of Datang be destroyed from the inside? If so, this guy really can't stay. Don't enter Yu Wenqian to kill him, even I can't spare his life."

Huang Ao who was sitting opposite didn't understand the cause and effect, so he couldn't understand the real meaning of Guo Ye's words. evolution?"

Guo Ye smiled, and did not explain too much to Huang Ao, but shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I will explain to you when the opportunity is ripe. Huang Ao, you have handled this matter beautifully , Ben Hou is very satisfied."

Huang Ao was modest and restrained for a while, and said: "The young ones dare not take credit for it, it all depends on the merits of Master Hou's cultivation."

Guo Ye suddenly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, your boy has been married to Miss Yu Fu for a while, how is it? Is the life after marriage still harmonious?"

Huang Ao said: "Hehe, even though I'm from a wealthy family, I still respect me."

Guo Ye secretly said happily, that Miss Yu's family is so fat, she is lucky to be able to marry, and naturally she will not learn what that savage wife did to you.

However, he still cared: "What about Yu's family? Especially Yu Deshui? They didn't bully you, did they? Didn't they dislike you because of your low birth?"

Huang Ao shook his head, and said with a grateful expression on his face: "With the fact that Hou Ye cut half of the Haitian Feast Restaurant from me that day, and I was born in the Hou Ye's mansion, and Hou Ye is now popular, you have an indirect love for me." I am sheltered and relied on, so my family members are still kind to me. As for my brother-in-law, because he received the kindness of Lord Hou, he took the initiative to give up the position of Doctor Censor to him, so he is still very grateful. He also often comes to the restaurant to find me for a drink or two. Whenever he is drunk, he will mention you, Lord Marquis, saying that although you and him belong to different factions, they are both loyal to the emperor and loyal to the emperor. You can see that , my brother-in-law admires and admires what you have done."

Once Huang Ao's chatterbox was opened, he couldn't stop it, and he talked out of his head without end.

After Guo Ye heard this, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and then he said: "Huang Ao, it seems that you were not wronged by forcing you to marry the Yu family. Now that you are living a prosperous life, then I I'm relieved. By the way, you may need to visit your brother-in-law Yu Deshui in a few days, I need Yushitai's help in some matters here."

Huang Ao nodded immediately, patted his chest and assured him: "Master Hou, it's okay. Tell me what's the matter. I'll go to Yu's house to look for him tomorrow morning."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "No hurry, it's not time yet, let's deal with the tiger and wolf first, and then deal with that dog."

Huang Ao heard that Guo Ye didn't mean what he said now, so he didn't ask any more questions, and then he got up and said goodbye: "The little one will go back first, it's too late, so I won't disturb Master Hou and his wife to rest."

Guo Ye said hello, sent him to the door of the study, and asked Wang Bajin to send Huang Ao out of the Hou Mansion.

After Huang Ao left, Guo Ye paced up and down in the study alone, carefully thinking about and digesting the news brought back by Huang Ao, especially the matter that Yang Yong was leaving Lu's mansion to live in Wei Wang's mansion.

After about a long time, there was the sound of a watch watch coming from the mansion. After three bangs, the watchman shouted "Heaven dry things dry, be careful of fire candles", it seems that the third watch has passed.

In the end, the thought of killing suddenly arose in his heart, and he thought to himself in a cold voice: "It seems that there is no reason for Yang Yong to survive. As long as he dies, Yu Wenqian will feel at ease, Yunshang will return, and the man in the deep palace The concubine Yang and the king of Shu, Li Ke, were not in a hurry, and avoided a great change in the court."
