Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 339 The highest state of affairs

Li Tongan's strong statement made the Changsun family understand that she was here to show off the face of the King of Shu. If there was something that really required a big fight in the end, the other party would definitely come up with the information from the East Palace. The other party was not afraid of fighting to the death. After all, the prince almost came to blows. She was assassinated, and she was the one who fought to the death, and it was she who broke the net.

Mrs. Changsun put on a smile and said comfortingly: "Sister Tong'an, these words are serious. There is nothing that can't be said between the sisters-in-law and within the clan."

"Sister Zhangsun, you and I have been friends for many years. I would not be close to you unless I was my sister. However, this matter is no longer something that our wife can resolve within the confines of her confinement."

Seeing Li Tongan's determination, Mrs. Changsun's face turned a little pale: "Do you just want to take away the women in our house? You can only take them with His Majesty's decree!"

Facing the Changsun clan's strength, Li Tongan did not give in. He looked at Li Yuan and said, "Brother, please send someone to the palace to request an order."

When the two sides refused to give in to each other, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Why should the quarrel between the sisters-in-law hurt the harmony?"

The door slowly opened, and Xiao Menglan was dressed in a long dress that was extremely graceful, luxurious and elegant, and everyone came to pay homage.

"See you, Crown Princess."

Xiao Menglan walked towards Li Tongan and Changsun, held one of them by the hand and said, "I heard you two quarreling as soon as I got close. We don't have any conflicts at all, so why should we have a stalemate in our relationship."

The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

Xiao Menglan had just returned to Daxing City. When she learned about the assassination of the prince, she didn't care so much and rushed back.

When I got home, I met Yang Guang and found out about Li Tongan and Li Yuan's visit to the Prince of Shu's Mansion. I felt uneasy in my heart. Li Tongan has a straightforward nature. Concern can lead to confusion. It is possible to lose control. It was just right when he arrived. There was a quarrel, and the eldest son had to face the imperial edict.

"Crown Princess, please forgive me. The women in this house really cannot be taken to prison."

Xiao Menglan said in an extremely considerate manner: "Of course, after the woman went to the prison, when she came out, everything turned out to be nothing. My sister was right for the sake of reputation. Li Yuan, I believe in Sister Changsun and evacuated everyone. "

"Ma'am, this..."

"I said withdraw."

"Yes."

Li Yuan had no choice but to nod and ask the people on both sides who were recording what happened to withdraw.

Xiao Menglan still said to Changsun with a smile: "Sister, what happened today will be cleared up in a few days, and I will come to apologize to you again."

"Crown Princess, what are you talking about?"

The tense situation just now became extremely harmonious due to the arrival of Xiao Menglan. After a few pleasantries, Xiao Menglan took the people away without any further questioning.

Seeing that the person was gone, Mrs. Dong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's like sending someone off."

Mrs. Changsun looked at her sideways and said with disdain: "You are really capable of causing trouble. It's really unlucky to go to a good birthday banquet and be related to the assassination of the prince."

He flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Dong with nowhere to vent his anger, his eyes red with grievance.

After Xiao Menglan and his party left the Shu Palace, Li Tongan asked Xiao Menglan in confusion: "Sister, let's not ask further questions now?"

Xiao Menglan answered: "Actually, the matter should have ended when Changsun emphasized to Li Yuan for the first time that no one should be taken away from the house."

Li Tongan said hurriedly: "But how can we continue to investigate like this?"

Li Yuan answered Li Tong'an: "The purpose of our visit this time was not to take away the Dong family from the beginning, but to let the Shu Prince's Palace be blamed for obstructing the investigation. I told you before we came that there is no need to say anything. There’s no need to leave, it’s almost over, but I didn’t expect you to stand up and say something.”

Li Tong'an said with some embarrassment: "The Changsun family has the face of the Shu Prince's Palace. We have to compromise for their face. There is no such reason."

Li Yuan sighed softly: "Well, fortunately the Crown Princess has arrived, otherwise it would have really been a tense situation. They said we were arrogant in front of the Second Saint, and there is reason to refute it."

At this time, Xiao Menglan said: "Although Tong'an is more upright, her words are correct. We in the East Palace also have face and anger."

Xiao Menglan's words were so powerful that Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh, this is the woman who can control the situation.

Xiao Menglan arranged for Li Yuan to say: "Li Yuan, you go to the palace first and report what happened. No need to add fuel to the fire, and don't hide any mistakes or omissions. Tell the Second Sage the current investigation status. Then I will go to the palace to meet the queen mother."

"Yes."

"In addition to the matter against King Qin, the King of Shu, the real murderer must be investigated carefully. We in the East Palace will never give up on this matter."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Menglan took Li Tongan back to the house, and saw Yang Guang lying on the hospital bed again. Her eyes turned red for a moment, and she shed tears without the image of the princess and concubine outside.

"Meng Lan, why are you crying again? Didn't you cry just now when you came back?"

"If His Highness hadn't asked Qin Qiong to come and protect our children, he would have followed me, and the assassin would not have been able to succeed. It's really a sin for me, my concubine."

"Li Feng and others were by my side at the time. Qin Qiong might not have been able to react if I had been here to take care of my child. You don't have to blame yourself. I haven't asked you yet, how is my father-in-law doing?"

Xiao Menglan wiped her tears and said, "Father, I am bedridden and unable to move my limbs. The doctor said there is nothing that can be done to save me. There are people to help me live my life."

"Then you have to fulfill your filial piety in front of your father-in-law. Why are you back?"

Xiao Menglan looked troubled: "Your Highness, in this dilemma, how do you tell me to make a decision?"

The more this moment happens, the more you can see people's instinctive choices.

Yang Guang said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Highness, please rest in peace and recuperate first. I will do the rest for you."

Yang Guang patted the back of Xiao Menglan's hand: "Go and ask Yuan Xiaoyuan to come over."

Soon Yuan Tiangang arrived, and Yang Guang asked him: "I calculated good and bad luck for Meng Lan before, but I forgot to ask you to calculate it for me."

"Your Highness forgive me."

"I'm not here to blame you, I'm just asking you, are you worthy of this murderer?"

"This……"

Seeing Yuan Tiangang's hesitation, Yang Guang understood that he could do it.

"How to calculate, why hesitate?"

"Your Highness, if you want to calculate such a specific level, you must have the flesh and blood of cause and effect. The murderer has been killed. In other words, it can be calculated with the flesh and blood of Your Highness. I cannot do such a huge thing."

Yang Guang frowned slightly: "Can it be calculated based on my flesh and blood?"

"You can use your own flesh and blood to measure your own cause and effect. You can observe several years before and after, and you will be inseparable from it. What happened will damage your highness's fate, and also damage the fate of your ministers." Hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, Xiao Menglan hurriedly interrupted: "No, in this way Your Highness’s calculation of flesh and blood is really nonsense.”

"Princess forgive me."

In Xiao Menglan's eyes, Yuan Tiantian's younger brother was always nagging him every day, but Yang Guang still seemed to believe that she would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Don't worry, Meng Lan, I'm not a random person. You can go into the palace first."

Xiao Menglan looked at Yuan Tiangang very worriedly, but she had no choice but to enter the palace first.

Naturally, Yang Guang would not use his own flesh and blood to tell his fortune behind Xiao Menglan's back, because his fate was unpredictable, and his identity as a time traveler might be exposed if he tested it.

He told Yuan Tiangang: "Use your method to help me find the murderer. This assassin is dead and now I have basically no clue. I can only rely on your unreasonable methods."

"But Your Highness, I have no way of finding out."

"Can't you just make a rough estimate based on a person's hair?"

"Yes, but I don't know who the murderer is. How can I get his hair measurement?"

Yang Guang smiled slightly: "Although there are many people who want to kill me, there are far fewer people who can do it. I will order Li Yuan to ask Ying Yangwei to find a way to get some of these people's hair or belongings. You can help me Calculate and see if you can figure something out.”

Yuan Tiangang looked troubled: "Your Highness, this...has no direction at all. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. No matter how powerful I am, I only do it once or twice a day. When will it end?"

"Once or twice a day, that counts as once or twice."

"Your Highness, fortune telling is very laborious."

"I owe you this time. No matter what happens in the future, as long as it does not harm nature or harm the country, I promise you to fulfill your request."

Yuan Tiangang bowed and saluted: "I understand."

……

Xiao Menglan entered the palace and left. At this time, Li Yuangang finished reporting the matter and left the palace.

Meet Queen Dugu alone.

"Mother, the son is back."

"Meng Lan, why are you back?"

"When I heard about the assassination of His Royal Highness, I rushed back without stopping."

Queen Dugu asked: "What about your father?"

"My father is bedridden, unable to speak or move."

Queen Dugu sighed: "Oh, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Menglan immediately knelt down and shouted in a tearful tone: "Mother, His Highness the Crown Prince has been assassinated. Please make sure to make the decision for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You kid, why are you kneeling down? Needless to say about Amo's matter, I and Your Majesty will definitely investigate to the end. Get up, get up."

Xiao Menglan was helped by the queen to stand up, her voice still filled with tears: "Mother, my sons and ministers are incompetent. When this happened, I was very panicked, and tears flowed down unconsciously."

"Silly boy, your affection for Amo is obvious to both mother and queen. Don't worry, the murderer will be brought to justice."

After a few words of comfort, Queen Dugu said: "There are very few clues now, and the investigation will not take a day or two. You don't have to worry too much. You can take care of Amo and take good care of yourself first."

"Mother, can I see my eldest sister?"

Yang Lihua has been brought to the palace for investigation since Yang Guang was assassinated, but there has been no news.

"Meng Lan, I and Your Majesty have investigated it. This matter has nothing to do with Lihua..."

"Mother, you are worrying too much. I want to see the eldest sister, not because I suspect that the eldest sister has anything to do with this matter. The relationship between the eldest sister and His Highness has always been good. It is His Highness who asked me to meet the eldest sister, so as to prevent the eldest sister from thinking wildly. ”

Queen Dugu smiled happily: "Go and visit Princess Xuan Chang."

After a while, Yang Lihua came. The originally fierce beauty Yang Lihua was now as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost. Her energy and energy were much worse. Seeing Xiao Menglan's rare expression, she stepped forward and asked in a panic. : "Meng Lan, how is Amo?"

"Eldest sister, Your Highness is fine for the time being. Mr. Sun just asked you to rest peacefully. You don't have to blame yourself."

Yang Lihua felt truly relieved when she heard Xiao Menglan say this herself.

"The thief who kills a thousand swords actually dares to attack Amo. When I catch him, I will kill him myself."

Queen Dugu glared at her: "How can you behave like a woman shouting and killing alone?"

Xiao Menglan said: "Mother, eldest sister, this murderer must be caught. No matter what the purpose is, I must catch him."

"Meng Lan, don't worry, you will definitely be caught."

Xiao Menglan left the palace, seemingly just to chat and report to the queen that she was back, but her attitude towards Yang Lihua and Yang Guang were noticed by the queen.

As soon as she left, Queen Dugu said to Nanny Li next to her: "Li Yuan came to report just now. They investigated the case and found that the Shu Prince's Palace encountered some obstacles, right?"

Aunt Li was a little embarrassed. She was ordered to go and see her. Unexpectedly, she had just returned to the palace and Li Yuan had already reported it. Now the queen asked her about the situation. In order to avoid being biased, she told Xini: "Tang Guogong found out about the eldest princess's mansion. The maid who was killed and robbed of her clothes had been embarrassed by the King of Shu's concubine before, and there was a conflict between the two parties. Duke Tang wanted to follow this clue and take the concubine of the King of Shu back to investigate, but the Princess of Shu Feeling that this was an insult to the lintel of Prince Shu's palace, the two sides had some quarrels, but it was not serious. In the end, the Crown Princess arrived just in time and stopped it."

When it came to the maid who had a conflict with Mr. Dong, Yang Lihua understood that it must be the maid who had ordered her to stain Dong's skirt, but she was silent now and did not explain anything.

After listening to Nanny Li's words, Queen Dugu's expression turned cold, and then she seemed to have made up her mind, her expression extremely determined: "Please pass on the order, no one is allowed to stop Li Yuan from investigating the assassination of the crown prince. Anyone who stops him will be ordered to do so directly." The person is imprisoned pending trial and handed over to Su Wei, the Minister of Punishment."

This is equivalent to giving Li Yuan the power of life and death to kill first and then tell the story later. It also allows the nobles in Daxing City to understand the queen's attitude.

This order was passed to the emperor. Yang Jian nodded to the eunuch beside him, sent the order, and added: "Anything or anyone who hinders the investigation, the Ministry of Punishment can first take the blame."

When the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar, and everyone was in panic. Li Yuan now had such great power, which made those who usually didn't deal with him or had conflicts with him became frightened.

Once Li Yuan took this opportunity to eradicate dissidents, they would not even have a chance to resist.

……

On a high tower in Daxing City, an old man was blowing the wind, and a voice came from behind: "Are you serious that you won't leave? It's not safe in Daxing City now. If you send someone to assassinate the prince, if you are caught, the nine tribes will be killed." "

"Catch me? Who would have thought it was me?"
