Chapter 333 Grasshopper

Xue Bai was temporarily detained in Jingzhao Mansion, but he felt that it was more convenient here than at home. He could assign his subordinates to work and let them come and go disguised as officials. However, the food was a bit lacking. In addition, he missed Yan Yan a little.

With Qinglan.

Gao Lishi made such an arrangement because there was still one last step left to exonerate him.

On this day, Xue Bai woke up from his sleep, smelled the lingering fragrance on the pillow, and found that he was alone in the room again.

He then thought that if Yang Guozhong could come to visit him, it would mean that he was completely fine. After all, Yang Guozhong was the most sensitive to the saint's thoughts. Now he can be regarded as a weathervane in the court, the so-called "spring duck prophet".

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside, and someone whispered: "Xue Lang, Jingyin is here to visit you."

The weathervane came, and Xue Baisui became more calm.

"Lao Jingyin, wait a moment and let me tidy up a little."

"You and I, brothers, why do we need to see each other outside?"

With a burst of laughter, Yang Guozhong pushed the door open and entered.

The door was closed after someone left the house. Xue Bai was still sleeping at that time and was not bolted.

"I heard that you are investigating a major case, so you are temporarily staying here in Jingzhao Mansion."

Xue Bai said: "I found out that King Shou and King Ruyang were intertwined and falsely claimed that Wu Huaishi was suspected of poisoning King Ruyang to kill King Ruyang. The impeachment memorial was written, and King Shou went to the imperial court first to file a complaint against me."

"It's like this. Don't worry, I will share your hatred and give you justice."

This time it involved old affairs in the palace. Xue Bai was not guilty, so Yang Guozhong pretended not to know. Otherwise, if he knew, of course he would stand up for his brother.

The two chatted, and both felt that the other party was very helpful. Yang Guozhong said that Xue Bai had indeed learned a lot of ways to frame people in Youxiang's Mansion; Xue Bai lamented that Yang Guozhong was becoming more and more tactful.

After that, we finally got to the point.

"In the current situation, you and I should really work together." Yang Guozhong sighed: "I heard that the imperial concubine left the palace in anger. Is this serious?"

"Which couple doesn't have stumbling blocks? It's little things."

"But I heard that someone accused our Yang family of being domineering, and the saint was dissatisfied, so he let the concubine leave the palace?"

Xue Bai said casually: "Then the Yang family should restrain themselves."

"Am I telling you to restrain yourself?" Yang Guozhong said, "I'm here to discuss with you how to get the imperial concubine back to the palace."

"Brother, what do you think?" Xue Bai asked without answering.

"How about persuading the imperial concubine to submit to the saint?" Yang Guozhong was really thinking seriously, frowning slightly, and said in deep thought: "I have discussed with the Korean lady, and we all think that the imperial concubine should give a step to the saint."

Xue Bai then shook his head, with a disapproving smile on his face.

"Why are you laughing?" Yang Guozhong was very dissatisfied.

"Brother, why do you think the saint dotes on the imperial concubine?"

"Of course it's because she has unparalleled beauty and is good at singing, dancing and melodious music. She can be a confidant of saints."

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "Beauty is extremely important. This is the premise. However, there are many people in the palace who are both beautiful and beautiful. Why do saints favor noble concubines the most?"

"Why?"

"It's because the imperial concubine is jealous and doesn't take the saint seriously."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Guozhong shook his head and said, "It is your temper that makes people say that the Yang family is domineering and has brought trouble to the imperial concubine."

Xue Bai said: "I remember when I first met my brother, he was flattering a famous prostitute from Nanqu. What was her name?"

"Wang Lianlian." Yang Guozhong said: "The number one brand of Xixiang Xiaozhu."

"What happened to my brother after that?"

"Of course I won it." Yang Guozhong couldn't help but feel proud, and said with a smile on his face: "No matter how famous she is, she is just a singing girl from the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, when I became Yu Shi Zhongcheng, she still had to serve me."

"What happens next? Will brother accept her?"

"No, if you really succeed, it will be boring."

Yang Guozhong sighed, suddenly feeling quite emotional, and murmured: "When I first arrived in Chang'an, I was very envious of Feng Liuchang. It has really come to this point, but in fact it is nothing more than that."

This probably means that if he were asked to give up his current fame and fortune, he would probably not be willing to do so.

Xue Bai asked: "Do you care about Wang Lianlian when she doesn't look at you? Or do you care about her more when she flatters you?"

"Of course..." Yang Guozhong was stunned mid-sentence, with a very Meng Lang smile on his face, and said: "You know, the more she treats me with disdain, the more I want to suck her toes.

Damn, how did you feel at that time? Blood rushed to my brain. I often dreamed about her at night, but in her eyes, I was just a small benefactor, not even qualified to enter the curtain. At that time, I thought

, I must stand out and let her take a good look. But when I really sucked it, I felt that her status was not worthy of me..."

When he talked about these topics, his chatterbox was opened, and he talked for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh.

"I understand what you mean. Saints are just like me. The less they can get, the more they yearn for it."

"Not entirely." Xue Bai waved his hand and said, "What I mean is that a person should respect himself. In addition to her talent and appearance, the most important thing is that the imperial concubine will not flatter her against her will, which further highlights her preciousness."

"Don't say it's useless, I understand. The saint is waiting for the concubine to give in, but the more the concubine refuses to give in, the more the saint talks about it." Yang Guozhong said, "Although this is the truth, it cannot continue like this."

Xue Bai was more calm, but seeing how anxious Yang Guozhong was, he said: "If you want to step down from the saint's steps, it shouldn't be for the imperial concubine to be subdued. It's not easy for the Yang family to come forward. Others should make peace."

"Okay." Yang Guozhong thought for a while and said, "I can handle this matter."

~~

After leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Yang Guozhong planned to arrange for someone to go to the palace to persuade the saint to take back the imperial concubine.

The identity of this person must be high enough to be close to the saint, but not too close to the Yang family, so as not to make the saint suspicious. After thinking about it, Yang Guozhong thought of a candidate and went to the Ten Kings' House.

"Go to Prince Di's Mansion."

King Di is the fourth son of the saint, named Li Yan.

Li Yan has a weak temperament and rarely participates in state affairs. He is also very close to Yang Guozhong personally, so he is a suitable candidate to come forward.

When Yang Guozhong told him his intention, Li Yanzhi saw that it was an opportunity to please the imperial concubine, so he immediately agreed and said: "It's time for me to pay my respects to the saint, so I will go to the palace today."

"My concubine and I will never forget King Di's kindness." Yang Guozhong said: "I have already said hello to the eunuch in the palace and the young eunuch Zhang Taoguang, and he also supported me."

"Uncle, don't worry."

Li Yan then went to Xingqing Palace to ask for an audience...

Today, Li Longji is in the attic of the harem, enjoying singing and dancing and reading the story of "The Pillow".

As he looked at it, he secretly thought that among the many beauties mentioned in the book, Yang Taizhen was the one who was truly beautiful and fragrant. He couldn't help but feel upset, so he put down the book and asked, "Is there any gift for Taizhen?"

If the words go to the palace, do you think she realizes her mistake?"

"Sage, it's strange that I haven't gone to investigate today." Yuan Siyi responded quickly, "Old slave will go now..."

Li Longji was displeased. He was a majestic emperor who always tolerated Yang Taizhen in the past. This time it was clearly her fault and she refused to bow her head first, so she should just stay outside the palace.

In addition, he wondered if he was too old to make Yang Taizhen care? Otherwise, how could she not have thought that he was waiting for her to give in?

I can't help but think about this in my heart, and I can't even read the story happily.

At this time, the eunuch Zhang Taoguang hurried over and said: "Sage, King Di has come to pay his respects to the saint."

"No." Li Longji waved his hand impatiently, then thought of something and said: "I heard from his family order that he sent the princess to another room to remind him that if he dares to spoil his concubine and kill his wife again, he will be punished.

Bar."

"Presumably King Di also knew that he was wrong and took advantage of the greetings to admit his mistake to the saint." Zhang Taoguang said: "It is rare for King Di to have a filial heart."

"Recruit him, and I will scold him myself."

"According to the decree."

Because of Zhang Taoguang's words, Li Yan finally got an audience opportunity that he would never have had otherwise.

He was led to the attic in the imperial garden. He took off his shoes on the corridor and climbed up the stairs. Li Yan saluted and said, "My son, please pay your respects to your father."

"Do you still have the nerve?"

Li Longji was in a bad mood, so he took it out on Li Yan. He smashed the book in his hand and said, "Back then, I personally married you and married Taichang Qing's daughter for you, but you moved the princess to another place and stayed with her all day long.

Do you look like a dignified prince when concubines and concubines hang out together?!"

"My child knows his fault."

Li Yan quickly gave himself a small slap and admitted his mistake.

His princess was infertile, and many of his children were born from concubines. A few days ago, because the princess disciplined one of his favorite concubines, he drove her out in anger. Today, he was scolded by the saint.

He immediately promised to take his wife home.

On the side, Zhang Taoguang saw this situation and naturally answered.

"Princess Di also has her faults. Women are wise after all. Even Concubine Yang is the same."

When Li Longji heard this, he was unhappy.

Zhang Taoguang peeked at the saint's expression and quickly added: "Although the noble concubine has disobedience to the saint, she has been kind to her for a long time. Even if the saint asked King Di to recall the princess, why would he cherish a place in the palace?"

Gao Lishi came in from outside the door. Hearing these words and looking at the saint's face, he knew that the imperial concubine would return to the palace soon.

What he hid in his sleeve was the evidence that King Shou made false predictions and criticized Chengyu. Once handed over, many things would be settled.

Although the sage didn't say anything about King Shou in the past few days, the most taboo thing in his heart was the prophecy. Xue Bai could be said to have made a cruel move, which would definitely kill King Shou.

"General Gao came just in time."

Li Longji said: "I have a poor appetite, so I sent these precious fruits to Taizhen..."

Halfway through his words, his eyes were suddenly attracted by several other young eunuchs whispering to each other under the attic.

"Call them here and ask what they are talking about."

Several eunuchs in the palace were still preparing to continue to speak kindly to the imperial concubine. They were all surprised when they heard the words and quickly sent Zhang Taoguang downstairs to ask what was going on.
To be continued...
