Tongshu with Mei

The man was dressed in a dragon robe and golden crown, with fair skin and no beard under his jaw. His stature and appearance were somewhat similar to Yang Tao's.He was condemning and scolding Wei Linxian, but when he saw the murderous Yang Ye, he suddenly fell silent.Yang Ye first asked Wei Linxian, "Where is the person I asked you to find?"

Wei Linxian said: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent. I have searched all over the place, but I can't find it."

Yang Ye glanced at him, turned around and grabbed the clothes on the man's chest and lifted them up: "Where did Yang Tao go? Tell me!"

The man shivered, and when he saw Yang Ye's ferocious appearance, he had no choice but to say honestly: "Your Majesty left Luoyang with the queen and princes seven days ago, and left the city."

His voice was very nasal, and it really sounded like he had a cold.Yang Ye smiled sinisterly: "Seven days ago? Didn't the emperor summon his courtiers yesterday morning? You are impersonating him, right? You dare to impersonate the emperor, you are not small!"

That man was originally an eunuch in the palace, and he followed He Qingchun to serve Yang Tao all the time, so he had seen a bit of the world, since then, he fell into the hands of this guy, and he could not escape death in the end, thinking about it like this After going all out, he plucked up his courage and shouted: "In order for His Majesty to leave here safely, so what if I pretend to be a slave?"

Hearing this, Yang Ye slapped him backhanded, and the blow was so heavy that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, he cried out in pain.Afterwards, the Marquis of Huainan was still puzzled, and snatched the whip from a guard who made the whip, and it crackled like a good beating.That eunuch with thin skin and white flesh, who had suffered so much, first rolled and howled on the ground, but gradually he couldn't cry, he just groaned softly.

Wei Linxian watched from the side, afraid that if he accidentally beat this person to death, many things would be lost, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Master Hou, calm down, calm down, be careful that you beat him to death."

Yang Ye said coldly: "I'm taking it easy, I don't need you to remind me." When he saw that the man was dying, he threw the whip casually, lifted the man up again, and forced him to ask: "I heard people say, is your emperor right?" Are you going to defend Luoyang to the death? Why did you go back on your word and escape again?"

The man whimpered and couldn't answer, so Yang Ye ordered a basin of cold water to pour him soberly, and asked him again, the man reluctantly said: "Although this servant serves the emperor, there are many important matters in the court. I have never heard of it either. But the capital has attracted evil spirits for a while, and some messy songs have been spread, and the slaves in the palace have passed them around privately, saying that a dragon...a dragon..."

Yang Ye interjected: "Isn't he not afraid of a dragon chasing water to the east? Didn't he not believe it? Or was he scared away? Hahaha, Yang Tao, you are in vain as the emperor of the real dragon. I thought you suddenly changed your courage. He grew up, but he is still as timid as a mouse in his bones!"

He pondered for a while, and then asked: "I'd like to ask you one more thing. It is said that Ling Shu and Ling Shaoqing of Dali Temple entered the palace some time ago. Where did he go? Did he go with Yang Tao, or hid somewhere in the palace?" ?”

The man groaned, but couldn't speak. After he pressed for a long time, Fang whispered: "Ling Shaoqing? Ling Shaoqing was injured when he entered the palace. He is His Majesty's favorite minister, and servants are not qualified to step aside. Later... just heard that he died of serious injuries the next day, and he was not rescued, so His Majesty asked Mr. He to send him away. After that, it took several days before His Majesty left Beijing... Ouch..."

He groaned loudly again, it turned out that Yang Ye squeezed him harder with his hands, and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense!" He knocked him to the ground again, and circled around him a few times, anxious like a trapped animal Incomparable.But seeing this man's half-dead appearance, even if he asked again, he couldn't find anything.He was full of troubles and didn't know what to do. Bai Tingbi ran in from the outside in a panic. There's a quarrel, and you can't suppress it, so you have to make up your mind! What do you think should be done?"

Yang Ye had nowhere to vent his resentment, looked at his alluring appearance, sneered and said, "Can't you suppress it? You and that Jing Shilang, two girls, get together, hum, what are you going to do to suppress it! Is there really someone who is not afraid of death? I want to go and see!"

Some of the courtiers of the Dayan Dynasty slipped out of the city, some were hacked and killed in the rebellious army, and most of the remaining courtiers, especially the civil servants, were half-coerced and dragged to the front of the Wanxiang Hall by a group of soldiers.Seeing a group of Yang Ye's soldiers sweeping around the palace like wolves and tigers, they were in a panic and didn't know what to do, so Jing Huaiyu came to persuade Yang Ye to surrender, and after only a few words of persuasion, all the courtiers were offended Angry, the first person who condemned was a highly respected old prime minister: "Jing Huaiyu, you two-faced treacherous villain! How does His Majesty treat you on weekdays? When did you secretly submit to that group of rebels? Now there are still Face to persuade us?"

Jing Huaiyu said: "Old Prime Minister, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang are both descendants of the Tian family. Even if you follow His Highness Zhao Wang, the surname of Dayan is still Yang, and he hasn't changed his surname. What's the matter?" Do you mind? You may wish to think more about your children and grandchildren..."

Before he could finish his words, Prime Minister Wang rushed over with a group of impatient courtiers, as if they were about to swallow him alive, and the reprimands of "treacherous courtiers" and "shameless villains" fell on Jing Shilang like rain.Jing Shilang was not afraid of being scolded, but he was afraid of death. Seeing the fierceness of the crowd, he wanted to eat their flesh alive, and was so frightened that he almost ran away with his head in his arms.Fortunately, Bai Tingbi and Nian Wei waited for a few guards who were with him to react quickly, and hurriedly pulled him back to avoid, while letting the guards stop the ministers.

Just as they were making a fuss, they saw Yang Ye dragging a man in a dragon robe, walking vigorously from the Purple Light Pagoda, followed by a large number of soldiers.Several courtiers exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

With a backhand, Yang Ye slammed the man in front of the ministers: "See clearly whether this man is your supreme king! You want to be loyal and good ministers forever, but it's a pity that he left early. A fake person came to fool you! You have nothing but heartfelt feelings, but who are you going to confess to? Hahahahahahaha!" Fei Qi kicked the heart of the man, using his internal strength, the man suddenly said He vomited blood and died on the spot.

A group of courtiers stood there dumbfounded, looking at the corpse in the dragon robe and the Marquis of Huainan laughing wildly on the ground.After a long time, Prime Minister Wang said tremblingly: "That's it...that's His Majesty is gone, well gone! One day he will come back with the King Qin's teacher and kill you group of rebels who made trouble!"

Yang Ye raised his eyes and looked at him, the corners of his lips slowly curled up: "Old Prime Minister, who are you scolding?"

Prime Minister Wang trembled in anger: "You are the one who scolded! You are a rebellious thief! How can the Tian family have children like you? You are even worse than the robbers and captives!"

After the incident, Yang Ye smiled instead of anger, looked at him with a smile, took a long knife from the hand of the guard beside him, and suddenly slashed with his backhand, cutting off the gray head, immediately Blood splattered three feet: "Dare to scold me? You really are impatient!" Then he slashed the long knife in the middle of the open space, causing a lot of noise: "Seeing that you are so loyal to the Dayan Dynasty! For the sake of many years, I will give you one last chance as a thief who has committed chaos. Those who want to continue to serve Yang Tao, come to the left here. Those who are willing to bow their heads to His Highness Zhao Wang, stay where they are.” Then He stopped drinking: "Hurry up! I have other things, I don't have time to wait for you to hesitate!"

This sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, startling all the officials silent, even those loyal and good people could not move when they saw the old prime minister's head.When the crowd was panicking, Yang Ye became impatient and said, "If you don't speak, you will be agreeing. Don't mention this word of allegiance to Yang Tao from today! Go to Yongsheng Gate in the north and wait at tomorrow's Chenshi, and I will welcome you." When His Royal Highness King Zhao enters the city, he will still wear the gauze cap and receive his salary from now on!"

He threw the knife in his hand to the ground with a "clang clang", turned around and said: "Jing Shilang, Wei Linxian, you stay and clean up this palace, and the person who needs to be found has to be searched for me. Wei Linxian, look if someone Come here to the left, you don't have to be polite, just kill them all, you don't need to report to me anymore. Don't follow me, I'll do something else." After saying that, he walked away.

Wei Linxian Nuonuo nodded, respectfully watched him go, and whispered to Bai Tingbi behind him: "Xiao Bai Nian has not followed, the city is still in chaos, it is getting late, if something happens to him, we don't have to live!" Already!"

Bai Tingbi and other guards followed Wei Linxian's order and hesitantly followed from behind. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Ye suddenly turned around and shouted angrily, "Don't follow me!" Headed towards the Dali Temple official office.

Yang Ye still didn't give up, he only had this chance, if Yang Xi entered the city tomorrow, he would rummage around here to find the murderer who assassinated his brother, it would be unreasonable.

At this time, the sky has darkened, the sky has no moonlight, and the tired birds are all returning to their nests.It was supposed to be Luoyang, the capital of the capital at the beginning of the lights, but now it was quiet and there was no sound of people, only a faint smell of blood wafted in the air.The corpses of soldiers who died in battle were everywhere on the long street, and Yuan Ouming's subordinates were cleaning up the sins and corpses.Beichenqing also sent some people in to check and guard everywhere.Seeing Yang Ye approaching, those who recognized him all bowed to salute.

Dali Temple has been occupied by Yang Ye's Po Luo Army, seeing his sudden arrival, the leader of the team, the captain, hastily greeted him.Yang Ye knew that there was no hope, so he searched carefully again, and the result was conceivable, except for a group of prisoners in the sky prison, there was nothing.He wanted to find Dong Quail and Dong Ge, so he was led to that secret small courtyard, where he saw the Dong family brothers kneeling on the ground.The two once majestic executioners now have knives around their necks.

Yang Ye stared at the two of them coldly for a while, then asked, "Have you seen your lord recently?"

Dong Qua hurriedly kowtowed to report: "My lord has been out of the house for three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he has not come back. Later, he vaguely heard that he entered the palace after returning to Beijing. He was seriously injured...he was seriously injured..."

I don't know when it happened, Yang Ye let out a long breath, waved his hands and said, "Let them go." The soldiers quickly put away their swords, and Yang Ye walked around the small courtyard several times, the crabapple withered, and the plantain Ye Can, only Youhuang is still dense, but it can't hide the feeling of loneliness and desolation.He slowly walked into the room where Ling Shu used to live, and saw that although the interior furnishings were simple, the things used were all top-grade. It seemed that Yang Tao really doted on him, so much that he was locked up in Dali Temple for more than ten years. It is easy to see outsiders.

There is a large desk on the west side, on which there are several files, one of which has been opened but not closed, as if a person has not been gone for a long time, and can be turned back in a moment.Yang Ye stretched out his hand to support the desk, and was dazed for a long time. Dong Qua and Dong Ge, who had been outside for a long time, thought he had fallen asleep inside, but saw him suddenly come out of the room again, and asked Dong Ge, "I ask you, This spring, someone gave your lord a white plum blossom stake, did you catch it? Where is the plum blossom now?"

Dong Ge turned his head and thought for a while, and said: "That's what happened. At that time, the villain caught the stump, and the fourth brother Zhang who delivered the food said that the old man in Chang'an entrusted him to deliver it, but the villain didn't know Whoever it is, please report the truth to your lord. At that time, lord Ling didn't say a word, and it took a long time before he had someone place the plum blossom stake at the back window of his bedroom. It's still growing well there."

Yang Ye's face was sinking like water, he bit his lip and listened, then hurriedly said: "Take me to have a look."

Dong Ge led him around the upper room where Ling Shu lived, pushed open a secret door behind the ear room, and went around to the small, gloomy courtyard behind.Sure enough, under the window, a white plum pile was placed right there.Due to the cold weather, most of the leaves have fallen, but the flower buds the size of rice grains have covered the branches, and it seems that they are growing very well.

Yang Ye stared blankly, and after a while, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the few remaining leaves, his hands were dry, with some cool dew, and he whispered: "You didn't throw it away, so why did you lie to me? Is it interesting to lie to me?"
