Tibet

Chapter 290
Li Ye put a report and a box on the table and pushed it to his grandfather, "This is my investigation report, and the box is a gift from my grandson to my grandfather."

"Gao Xianzhi also gave me a lot of treasures this time, and I distributed them to my descendants, and you and your father also kept a share."

Li Ye smiled and shook his head, "Although the gift from my grandson is also gold, it is different from Gao Xianzhi's gift."

"What is it?"

Li Linfu opened the box curiously, and found a golden scepter inside.

He looked at a line, it was engraved in Sogdian script, and there were Chinese characters next to it, 'Guo Guo Ye Hu'.

"This is."

"This is the scepter used by my grandson in Pulling Khana. I am Yehu, the guardian of their country. There are three Yehus in Pulling Khana, the prince Yehu, the mage Yehu, and the guardian Yehu, which is equivalent to the supervisor of the country. If the prince inherits the throne unkindly, I have the power to abolish him and establish a new king, but it is useless to my grandson, it is just a souvenir for my grandfather."

Li Linfu chuckled, "Okay! My grandson is actually the supervisor of Bahana, so you simply abolish the prince and become king yourself. I promise to support it!"

Li Ye smiled wryly and said: "Grandfather was joking, I don't want to be the one who pulled Khan, my grandson is now Suiye's envoy, and King Pulling Khan has to be respectful when he sees me!"

Li Linfu nodded, "This battle with Dashi is very exciting. It has played a powerful role in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor issued an edict a month ago to reward all the soldiers of the Anxi Army and Beiting Army who participated in the battle. You are not included in the list of generals, do you know why?"

Li Ye shook his head, and Li Linfu smiled slightly: "It's right if you don't know, not only without you, but also without Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli. The three of you belong to special awards. Gao Xianzhi has been named the Duke of Ji, and will soon be the governor of Hexi. Cheng Qianli was conferred the Duke of Pengcheng, he will serve as the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, the decree has been made, but you are still absent, the emperor said that he will reward you face to face."

"At least the county magistrate!"

"I don't know either. It depends on whether the emperor is named according to the royal family or the clan."

"Is there a difference between the two?"

"Of course there is. According to the regulations of this dynasty, today's son is the clan within the five clothes, and the family is the family when it goes out. Simply put, it is the clan from the ancestor, and the royal family from the ancestor. We can only be counted as the royal family. The clan can be named king. , the royal family is not allowed, but special circumstances are still possible.

And there are many special circumstances, the earliest Youzhou Luoyi, Gao Zu named him the king of Yan, and the king of the five counties in the Shenlong coup, all with different surnames can be named kings, not to mention the royal family, so the special circumstances are determined by the emperor, but Muxiu Yulin But the wind will destroy it, I still hope you keep a low profile, the time for grandfather to protect you is running out. "

"What's the situation with grandfather now?" Li Ye asked again.

"I am still Xiangguo now, but it is no longer Zhongshu Ling, but Shangshu Zuopushe. It is said that this was suggested by the imperial concubine. Many people say that the imperial concubine has plotted against me. In fact, I am very grateful to her. She let me take a step forward." I stepped back, if I can retreat with my whole body, the family will be saved, the worst fear is that if I want to retreat, but I can't retreat, and finally fall from a high place, it will be extremely tragic."

Li Ye nodded secretly, this is Concubine Yang's fulfillment of her promise to herself.

"Ye'er, do you think it is feasible to establish the Hezhong Jinglue Mansion or the Hezhong Dudu Mansion?" Li Linfu asked again.

Li Ye's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "This is a very good suggestion. In this way, Datang can effectively control the Hezhong area, so as to consolidate our victory over Dashi. It is very necessary. Has the court decided?"

Li Linfu smiled bitterly and said, "It hasn't been decided yet. I don't know what concerns the Son of Heaven may have."

Li Ye thought for a while and said with a smile: "This decision will be made soon. The envoy of the Caliphate is already on his way to Chang'an. Once the two sides reach an agreement, the management of the Hezhong area will be on the agenda. The court cannot avoid it." this problem."

"You are right, we are looking forward to the arrival of the Great Food Messenger."

After a pause, Li Linfu said slowly again: "Recently something happened in Chang'an, it's very strange!"

"Grandfather, what happened in Chang'an?"

"About a month ago, Yang Guozhong's son, Yang Xi, was killed in Jiaofang. None, the assassinated woman never showed up again, which is very bizarre."

"The assassin is a woman?"

Li Linfu nodded, "It's a young woman. It is said that she is only 16 years old. She is extremely beautiful, but no one knows her origin, and her resume in Luoyang is also fake. There is no such person in Luoyang Song and Dance Club."

Li Ye pondered for a while and said, "Yang Guozhong's son was killed, would he think it was his grandfather who did it?"

Li Linfu sighed: "That's what the Yang family thinks. Yang Guozhong insisted that it was the political enemy who did it. Doesn't that mean me?"

"Perhaps there is a prince!"

"Yes! They also suspect the prince."

"What's the attitude of the Son of Heaven?" Li Ye asked again.

"The Son of Heaven has been silent. Of course, Yang Guozhong can suspect me, but he doesn't have any evidence. Could it be that he doesn't have any evidence and can kill my descendants?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Grandfather, this is actually an opportunity. If it is handled well, the Son of Heaven can only ask grandfather to resign as Prime Minister in order to appease the Yang family. Grandfather will take advantage of this opportunity to retire unscathed."

Li Linfu said displeased: "Wouldn't that make me a scapegoat?"

"Grandfather, the premise of grandson is to handle it well. If this case is not found in the end, the emperor will give the Yang family an explanation."

"I understand what you mean!"

Li Linfu interrupted his grandson, "You just came back and don't know the situation, so don't worry about it. Take a good rest for a few days, and your parents will be back soon."

Li Ye nodded silently, he was still a little reluctant and said: "Does grandfather have the materials for this case? Grandson is free and wants to take a look."

Li Linfu took out a large file from the cabinet and handed it to Li Ye, "This is a copy of the investigation file of Dali Temple, you can take it and read it! The Yang family must not be too fussy."

"Grandson obeys!"

Li Ye took the file, got up and left.

Li Linfu looked at his grandson's back, and his mind began to turn quickly. He had proposed to establish the Hezhong Jinglue Mansion to manage the Hezhong area, but Yang Guozhong firmly opposed it, but was not adopted by the emperor.

Gao Xianzhi also proposed the establishment of the Hezhong Governor's Mansion, and recommended Li Ye as the first Hezhong Governor. He received the full support of the prince's family. Yang Guozhong resolutely opposed it again, but the emperor did not accept his objection.

It is estimated that the emperor will have to meet Ye'er before making a final decision, perhaps after negotiating with Dashi.

But this step is crucial to Li Linfu's family. Li Linfu did not regard his eldest son Li Xiu as his heir at all. He regarded Li Ye as his heir. After 20 years, whether his family can rise again depends on Li Ye body.

Therefore, Li Linfu must make the emperor agree to let Li Ye be the governor of Hezhong no matter what. This is the last fight of his career.

Li Linfu picked up his grandson's investigation report on the table and looked through it with great interest.

At the same moment when Li Linfu was reading Li Ye's report, Li Ye was also sitting in his father's former study and carefully reviewing the files of Dali Temple.

The content of the investigation is very comprehensive, and it can be said that there are thousands of clues, but Li Ye looks at the essence through the phenomenon. He only looks at one thing. Was Yang Xi's murder planned or a coincidence?

This is the crux of the whole case. Of course, it is more likely to be premeditated. The dancer could not have killed someone for the sake of chastity, nor could she kill a man casually. Otherwise, what would be the point of her hiding in the Jiaofang Pavilion? ?
Since she used a fake identity to deliberately hide in the Jiaofang Annex, then her murder must also be premeditated.

This pretty lotus is to kill Yang Guozhong's son.

But in this way, temporarily arranging the venue and temporarily arranging Wu Gui, who is Qiao Furong to dance, has a big problem.

Others may not know it, but Li Ye knows that Wu Gui's elder brother Wu Ying secretly boarded An Lushan's carriage in Guangzhaifang.

So, is the murder of Yang Guozhong's son related to An Lushan?
