If you have a trough in your heart, just try your best to cross it; if you have thorns in front of you, you can grit your teeth and walk through it; as for the ravines that stretch across, it is nothing more than the hatred that your father has accumulated for many years. If your father wants to vent, he can grit his teeth and bear it even if he wants to vent his thunder and anger, storm and storm.

As long as you can reach the other side, you will be able to touch the bright spring scenery hidden deep for several years.

After all, Gala and Dugu Xin have never done anything to let him down, which is Yang Jian’s toughest confidence.

Yang Jian's back gradually straightened, and his loss disappeared and replaced it with firmness. "I understand, so I don't ask my father to agree immediately. But the father threatened Gala as a king and chose Jiang Qi in his scruples. This is not possible."

"The father forced Dugu Jialuo?"

Yang Jian did not answer and asked again: "Putting aside Dugu Ruwan, Gao Tanwei. Are you willing to accept Dugu Jialuo and Dugu Xin?"

"Dugu Jialuo alone..." Princess Leping tilted her head with a very reluctant expression, "If the emperor insists on it, I can't stop her. She is still interesting. As for Dugu Xin, I don't care. But Dugu Ruyuan and Gao Tanwei will definitely not do it!"

"They will pay their blood debts and blood." Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

The palace was silent for a moment. Princess Leping always wrote to Yang Jian, and she missed the rebellious and stubborn boy who was so arrogant that she was even more happy than the gloomy and coldness in Jianzhang Palace. If it was really as Pei Ju said, Dugu Jialuo could restore the emperor's old spirit, she was willing to accept it, and even helped the emperor.

Even if the father would never allow the daughter of the Dugu family to enter the ancestral temple, it would be good if the father could kneel in front of the mother's soul and let her live in Jianzhang Palace safely.

only……

"What if Dugu Jialuo hides too deeply and can't be found?"

Yang Jian's eyes were slightly dark, and his expression was a little fierce, "Everyone who goes to heaven and earth must be found!"

——At least Dugu Xin is still in his hands, he doesn’t mind being despicable.

This posture of seeing people die and corpses, and digging three feet into the ground made Princess Leping shudder. She couldn't help but sneeze again. She was secretly annoyed in her heart why Pei Ju hadn't invited the doctor to serve. When she looked back, she saw that the figure happened to be in front of the door, carrying the medicine box and walking as fast as she flew.

Princess Leping curled the corners of her lips.

Regardless of whether Yang Jian was willing to go to Yiqiu Palace or not, since Yang Zhong arranged to summon Jiang Qi into the palace, Concubine Duan would do it naturally.

The insurgent who sent the order arrived at the Jiang Mansion, and the Jiang family naturally thanked him very much.

It happened that Chen Xuanhua had just returned from the government office and specially invited him to the living room to serve tea, asking why the imperial concubine invited Jiang Qi to the palace. The internal surveillance did not know the details. After drinking two cups of tea, he could not find out why, so he could only send it out.

After the internal surveillance left, Chen Baxian smiled and said, "The imperial concubine often summoned Xuanhua to the palace. This time it must be the same. Father is this?"

Chen Xuanhua was born calm and steady. Even when he was old, he still had a gentle and elegant demeanor. The court had been ups and downs for many years, and he was used to the rise and fall of the rise and fall. He was not as arrogant as Liang Rui, and he was always approachable and spoke calmly and slowly. Even when he confronted Liang Rui, he rarely spoke fiercely. However, due to his demeanor and power, and his achievements were outstanding, the court officials were quite respectful.

At this moment, Chen Xuanhua sat in a square chair with a serious expression, "Didn't you hear about Linde Hall today?"

"What's going on in Linde Palace?" Chen Baxian was surprised.

"The emperor kept His Highness for lunch. Not long after, His Highness came out of the hall angrily, and the princess followed closely behind. I was about to report the matter, but I saw that His Highness was walking in a distance, which was very different from the usual." Chen Xuanhua looked up and looked at his eldest son, "The emperor and His Highness have ever had such a thing?"

"What does father mean?" Chen Baxian was very surprised.

"Your Highness is very sensible and skillful. If it is for the court affairs, you will not lose your composure easily. Since there is a princess present, I guess the palace was involved in family affairs at that time."

Chen Ba nodded first, "My father suspected that it was related to Xuan Hua's summoned to the palace?"

"The emperor and the imperial concubine both favor Xuan Hua, which is certain. But your highness—" Chen Xuanhua frowned slightly, "That day, when Xuan Hua was robbed, he immediately visited the private mine. Those things were suppressed, and I would like to ponder this matter with you. Your Highness is probably not the same as the emperor in this matter."

"My son understands what my father means." Chen Ba poured tea first and sat down opposite him. "Your Highness is proud of his dignity and is not close to women. Suddenly, he took a woman to climb altitude. It is indeed strange. Xuanhua recognized that girl. I later asked, "It was Dugu Ruyuan's granddaughter, who lived in Jianzhang Palace for some reason."

"Dugu Ruyuan's granddaughter?"

"Well, Dugu Xin's daughter is said to have been raised in Huainan in recent years. My father knows better than me about the Dugu family and the Yuwen family. Even if Your Highness may have taken a fancy to the girl's appearance, it is impossible to achieve anything with the emperor's pressure." Chen Baxian was sure.

Chen Xuanhua frowned, "How can the royal affairs be easily concluded? Your Highness is steady and sensible. Since you have taken her to the top, you must have other things to do. At that time, you also saw that Your Highness ignored Xuanhua, but he was asking the girl about her well-being very much--that was clearly for us to see."

"Does my father think that Your Highness doesn't want Xuan Hua to enter Jianzhang Palace?"

"If Your Highness had any intention, it would not be that attitude at that time. The news from Chengshou Temple came, but you didn't see your highness's reaction? You chased him over on a horse, obviously all your heart was in touch. After that, I checked and searched closely, and it was for the sake of Miss Fu, and I took Xuan Hua with me. When I had the news, I would go to pick it up in person. Isn't this clear enough? He had someone he thought about, but he had no intention of Xuan Hua."

Of course, Chen Baxian was also aware of these details and was speechless for a while.

Chen Xuanhua said again: "That day, you took everyone to Tongshiling. I didn't pay attention at first, but later I met Your Highness and felt something was strange. You already knew where Your Highness was going, right?"

Chen Baxian lowered his eyes and said vaguely: "My son doesn't know..."

"Don't hide it from me!" Chen Xuanhua looked solemn and patted the table lightly.

Chen Ba hurriedly stood up first, but couldn't hide it, so he could only admit, "Yes."

Chen Xuanhua's face suddenly became much ugly, "Who promises you to install eyeliner in Jianzhang Palace!"

"Father is clear, but my son dares not." Even though Chen Baxian was in high position, he was still very respectful in front of Chen Xuanhua. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Even if my son has eaten the courage of Xiongxin, he dare not do such a thing. On that day, I went to Tongshiling because of the private mine. When I saw Pei Ju exploring the way in the mountains alone, I guessed that it might be because His Highness wanted to go there to climb, so that he would have the idea of ​​taking Xuanhua there."

"It's really just a chance encounter?"

"It's true!"

Chen Xuanhua breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down for a moment, and said, "The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine favor Xuan Hua. It's not just you, but I have tried to move. I hope that Xuan Hua can enter Jianzhang Palace and glorify his ancestors. But hope is one thing, but you must never use your scheming in this matter. Your Highness has not pointed out that day, but he is willing to give face to him. There will never be a second such thing in the future!"

He was stern, and Chen Baxian was unwilling to give up. "My father tried his best to make the emperor. Before the emperor came back, he was almost harmed by Liang Rui. In the past six months, my second brother and I have been working diligently. With such hard work, what's wrong with changing the future for Xuanhua? Please think about it carefully."

"I welcomed the emperor back that day. Although I was greedy for the merits of following the dragon, the most important thing was to stabilize the world. If it weren't for his father and son returning to the court, the world would have been destroyed in Liang Rui's hands. This is the responsibility of you and me as officials."

"My father's teachings, my son understands." Chen Baxian bowed.

"The most taboo thing about being a minister who follows the dragon is to be proud of one's merits. It is a taboo to be too powerful, and it is also a taboo to be too powerful. It is even more taboo to be rewarded with merits!" Chen Xuanhua stared at his son, and his eyebrows were full of worries, "The more the emperor values ​​it, the more cautious he should be. If Xuanhua can enter Jianzhang Palace, everyone will naturally be happy. If he cannot, we cannot think of it."

Chen Baxian was still unwilling to give up, "But the emperor and the imperial concubine's attitude was clear and he valued Xuanhua."

"But the one who married his wife is His Highness, he is the crown prince, the future emperor! If he angers him, it will lay the root of disaster!" Chen Xuanhua's most feared was Chen Baxian's obsession at this moment. "Your Highness's concubine can only wait for the emperor and His Highness to decide. Others cannot control others. If Xuanhua is blessed, it is the blessing of my Jiang family. If you can't, you can't force it. Don't eat dinner tonight. Go to the ancestral hall for two hours. After kneeling, come to see me."

Chen Baxian was slightly surprised, "Father..."

Kneeling in the ancestral hall is the heaviest punishment in the Jiang Mansion. Chen Baxian was stubborn when he was young and knelt a lot because of his stubborn temper. Later, he became an official in the court and gradually smoothed out the edges of the past. He became a proper person in his actions and had only punished his son to kneel. He had not kneeled for more than 20 years.

Hearing this punishment at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"It is related to the life and future of the Jiang family's family. I kneel in front of my ancestors and think about it carefully."

After Chen Xuanhua said with a calm face, he left first. When he reached the door, he sighed faintly.

The next day, Concubine Duan held a banquet, and Yang Jian did not go to Yiqiu Palace. Not to mention Yiqiu Palace, after the court was dispersed on this day, he did not even go to Linde Palace, and called a member of the Ministry of Justice to accompany him. He transferred hundreds of Si Yusu to Jianzhang Palace and headed straight to Tongshiling.

Liang Rui's face looked very ugly when he learned where he was going.

However, Yang Jian was going to go, and he couldn't stop him. Besides, there was a follower of Jianzhang Palace, and he dared not call the life of the Moon God Sect. Xu Jian's case is still under trial, and the evidence of crime is accumulated more and more, but Yang Zhong refused to give him a happy feeling. It was unresolved, and he was caught in it and was very passive. Now that Yang Jian is going to move the private mine in Tongshiling, Liang Rui carefully considered it and sent a letter to the Luozhou garrison.

The court was full of energy, and the clouds and rain were piled up, and a corner of Yongping Street was safe.

Gala lived in that house until the end of September, and finally saw the true appearance of Zhang Qingfeng.

A man in his early twenties has a good facial features and a good appearance. He just travels north and south all day long, making his skin look like wheat in autumn. Perhaps it is due to his business habits, he treats people quite enthusiastically, laughs three times when meeting, and his words and actions are smooth and comprehensive. The other seven times are interspersed in idle conversations. With just a few words, he can make people feel close.

Because of Ronglou, Zhang Qingfeng took special care of Tan and Garo, and set up a small banquet to entertain him on the day he returned to Beijing.

Then he discussed in detail about going to Xihu, and agreed to set off on the second day of October to go to the shops in Luozhou. Because he wanted to gather people and arrange the trivial matters in the shops, he temporarily lived in Luozhou for the first half of the month, and then set off westward, avoiding Yang Jian's tightly guarded northwest area, but chose the road from Jinzhou to go to Xihu.

Neither Karo nor Tan had any objection to this arrangement.

As winter gradually approached, Tan specially made a list of daily necessities on the road and purchased them.

On the second day of the October 2nd, the grandparents and grandson and Hua Shang rode the carriages prepared by Zhang Qingfeng and mixed in a caravan loaded with silk. They walked around the numerous street markets and drove to Kaiyuanmen, which was specially supplied to enter and exit the goods in the west.

Because the journey was long, Zhang Qingfeng prepared a wide car. In addition to the goods and the caravans he accompanied, Tan and Hua Shang took a car for easy care, while Gala was alone, with thick and soft blankets inside, and various dried fruits and pastries were placed in the drawer next to the wall of the cabin, which could grind their teeth on the way. Zhang Qingfeng even prepared a few volumes of books in the car, and there were also Jiulian and other things to relieve boredom.

There are long queues outside Kaiyuanmen, all of which are business trips from all over the country.

Gala sat in the car, listening to the bustling noise outside, closing his eyes to rest.

The team moved forward slowly, and the carriage finally arrived at the city gate.

After the search of the city gates that Yang Jian first set up was found nothing, he had already relaxed. Zhang Qingfeng is also a veteran in business. Before opening this fur shop, the Yi family had a business in the capital. Ordinary goods went to Kaiyuan Gate in the west. After years of exchange, they had already become accustomed to the guards who were checking at the door.

The manager went over to send a cigarette bag. As if he had greeted him often, the veteran at the city gate casually ordered two young people, and roughly flipped each cart of silk goods. After registering the quantity of goods reported by the manager, he immediately released it - the female carriages and horses that came out with the goods, of course, had not been searched.

There are several ruts of different depths and widths on the road paved with bluestones. The carriage sways slightly along the ruts, creaking and creaking.

Gala slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Turning around and lifting a corner of the car curtain, under the towering and solemn city tower, there were still merchants from north to south surrounded by merchants.

The cold wind in early winter blew by, the weeping willows beside the road gradually withered, and the leaves of the wood are whistling.

Spring comes and winter goes, and half a year has passed, and when I recall it, it feels like I am in a dream.

Yang Jian will never see you later, so he will take care of himself.

Galo fell off the curtain, leaned against the soft pillow, and closed his eyes.

In Zhaowen Hall, Yang Jian finished reading the document and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Recently, his eyelids have been twitching frequently, much more frequently than before.

The air was already very cold. The clusters of green bamboo outside the window were dark and dark. Last night, it was frost and the branches and leaves drooped. When I opened the window, the cold air came to my face and entered my holes. He stood in the window for a long time, letting the cold wind soak all over his body, and finally his thoughts were extremely clear.

Beiliang, Luozhou, Jinzhou... Yingzuo, Liang Rui, Taishanghuang, Yueshen Cult...

Many things slowly formed into a line, and were woven into inferences and plans in his mind.

He saw an increasingly clear road in the storm of the court.

The incident in Tongshiling was quickly investigated. The imperial guards rushed over. In just a few days, they found a secret passage for mining private mines. Even though the people there had been withdrawn, Liang Rui relied on his power to deceive his superiors and subordinates and kept mining for several years, leaving many traces. Moreover, the imperial court was in charge of all copper and iron ores. They would leave clues when mining them privately and selling them. They would touch the melons and conduct secret investigations. In just over ten days, two behind-the-scenes officials were found and sentenced to prison.

It was also during these days that an emergency report suddenly came from Luozhou, saying that there were fleeing bandits causing trouble, besieging the county magistrate seriously injured the county magistrate, and it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to suppress it.

Yang Zhong knew his intentions, and a few days after receiving the report, he ordered the Ministry of Justice to settle Xu Jian's case-
To be continued...
