    Song Taizong put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room twice. Finally, he frowned and said to Yang Rong: "Yang Aiqing, Li Jilong has been busy fighting for the second prince to be the prince. I know that the second prince is  Both the Third Emperor and the Third Emperor want to make friends with you, but I hope you will not get involved. As for the Dangxiang people, I have already sent people to investigate. If it is as Yang Aiqing guessed, I will definitely not bypass Li Jiqian this time!"

    Yang Rong didn¡¯t speak, just stood aside with his head lowered.

    He ordered the killing of hundreds of party members in Xinzhou, which indeed had a relatively bad impact on the Song Dynasty.  If Song Taizong really wanted to be serious with him, just this one thing would make his head move several times.

    "Okay!" Seeing that Yang Rong didn't speak, Song Taizong turned around and walked towards the door. When he was approaching the door, he turned to look at Yang Rong and said to Yang Rong: "I am here today. On the one hand, I want to  Tell Yang Aiqing not to get involved in some things, and the second is that I really miss Aiqing, and if I don¡¯t leave the house for a month, it will be hard for Aiqing!"

    After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Yang Rong to respond.

    Seeing Song Taizong walking out, Yang Rong quickly raised his heels and walked him to the gate of the front yard of the General's Mansion before kneeling to see the emperor off.

    After seeing off Song Taizong, Yang Rong returned to the front hall, bowed his hands to Zhao Yuanxi and others, and said to them: "King Xu, Prime Minister Lu, General Li, the generals have been neglectful, so I hope Haihan will do it!"

    Song Taizong suddenly came to Yang Rong, completely beyond the expectations of Zhao Yuanxi and others.  Li Jilong and Lu Mengzheng were fine, but Zhao Yuanxi was already so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat.

    "General Yang, I'd better say goodbye." If you sit here for a while, you will feel like a light on your back. Zhao Yuanxi stood up, raised his hands to Yang Rong and said, "General Yang, say goodbye!"

    Zhao Yuanxi was about to walk out of the hall, but Yang Rong shouted behind him: "Your Highness, please wait!"

    Hearing Yang Rong's shout, Zhao Yuanxi turned around and looked at Yang Rong with a puzzled expression.

    "At the end of today, I will instruct my servants to prepare a table of food and wine to entertain His Highness in the house. I hope Your Highness will not refuse!" Yang Rong clasped his hands in his fists, bowed slightly, and sincerely persuaded Zhao Yuanxi to stay.

    Zhao Yuanxi, who had been frightened by the sudden appearance of Song Taizong, heard Yang Rong say that he would stay with them for lunch, and looked at Lu Mengzheng and Li Jilong with a troubled expression.

    Lu Mengzheng was worthy of being a civil servant, and he was in the position of prime minister. He just pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled and said to Zhao Yuanxi: "General Yang is so friendly, why should your highness refuse?"

    Zhao Yuanxi had always followed Lu Mengzheng's suggestions. After hearing what he said, although he was puzzled, he still agreed with some trepidation.

    When Yang Rong left the main hall and arranged for his servants to prepare drinks and dishes, Zhao Yuanxi asked Lu Mengzheng: "Prime Minister Lu, your father has seen me waiting here. If I stay here to have a banquet with Yang Rong again, what will happen to my father?"  The emperor's ears are not good after all. Why did the Prime Minister persuade Xiao Wang to stay?"

    "The veteran almost ignored it just now, but General Yang reacted quickly!" Lu Mengzheng smiled and said to Zhao Yuanxi: "Your Majesty has already seen me waiting here. If he has just left, we will leave with him, Your Majesty will surely  He doubts our intention of coming here. Since he has seen it, but we still stay here to have a banquet, it means that we are honest and have no worries. Even if it reaches the ears of the Holy One, the Holy One will laugh it off!"

    "It's actually like this!" After listening to Lu Mengzheng's explanation, Zhao Yuanxi suddenly realized and nodded in praise: "Yang Rong is indeed extraordinary. Not only is his formation on the battlefield superior, he is even comparable to his uncle. In the court, he actually  He is also able to turn things around properly, no matter how big or small, no one can escape his eyes. I think there is no need to say what I am going to say today."

    "When I came, he already understood!" Li Jilong said to Zhao Yuanxi with a faint smile, "I'm afraid my trip today was in vain!"

    Although Li Jilong didn't say it clearly, Zhao Yuanxi and Lu Mengzheng both understood the meaning of his words.

    They arrived at the General's Mansion. Although Yang Rong was enthusiastic, he did not show any intention of being loyal to Zhao Yuanxi. It was obvious that he wanted to stay out of this matter.

    "Uncle, what should I do if Yang Rong doesn't want to stand on my side?" Yang Rong's status in the court was basically the same as that of Li Jilong. What Zhao Yuanxi was most worried about was that he would side with Zhao Dechang.

    "At least he won't side with King Shou!" Li Jilong smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yuanxi: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have fought with Yang Rong many times. Although he is not old,  He is very stable in his work. If he doesn¡¯t see the situation clearly, he will never take sides easily. When His Highness¡¯ position as Crown Prince is confirmed, Yang Rong will definitely be loyal to His Highness!¡±

    The three of them were talking,Yang Rong, who went to arrange a banquet, came back again.

    As soon as they entered the main hall, Yang Rong smiled and said to the three people: "Just now, the general made a decision without authorization. Dining in the main hall is more or less formal. Your Highness and the two adults came to visit the general. It is the general who has nothing to do."  The honor of the general will naturally not treat the three of you as outsiders. The general has already prepared a table of wine and food at the waterside pavilion in the back house. Please move forward and go with the general!"

    As he spoke, Yang Rong made an invitation gesture to the three people, and then stood aside and looked at the three people.

    Yang Rong¡¯s arrangement surprised all three of them. They looked at each other, and in the end it was Zhao Yuanxi who walked out the door first.

    Yang Rong personally led the way for the three of them, and they arrived at the pavilion next to the waterside pavilion in the back house.  There are two maids standing on the four corners of the pavilion. There are two stools at the bottom of the pavilion. Next to the stools are two young women dressed coquettishly.

    "There are no dancers in the general's house. In order to entertain the three of them, I had to go to the brothel in the city to find two courtesans." After going up to the pavilion and inviting the three people to sit down, Yang Rongcai raised the wine jar from the side and said to the three of them:  "The food and wine are also quite crude. I hope Your Highness and your two lords won't be surprised."

    Originally, the three of them thought that Yang Rong would host a symbolic banquet in the main hall, but they did not expect that he would actually prepare a banquet in the back house like a private banquet.  This move made even Li Jilong, who usually claimed to know Yang Rong, a little confused.

    "Your Highness, I have something to remind you!" After filling the three people with wine, Yang Rong sat down at the table and said to Zhao Yuanxi: "Recently, the party members have secretly deployed many people in the Song Dynasty, and they may do something to His Highness and  Your Highness, King Shou, is in trouble, so you must be careful!"

    Yang Rong didn¡¯t want to remind Zhao Yuanxi about this matter, but then he thought about it. Since he reminded Zhao Dechang, if he didn¡¯t remind Zhao Yuanxi, it was hard to say whether he would get into trouble if he was traced in the future, so he decided to give him a brief reminder.  (To be continued.
