    Song Taizong, who was sitting next to him, reached out and gently stroked the hair of Zhao Dechang who was lying beside Zhao Yuanxi's bed. He sighed and said quietly: "Your brother Wang is gone. It's all your fault that I, the father, didn't take good care of him."  .¡±

    "Father!" Looking up at Song Taizong, Zhao Dechang put his face on his father's knees and said with sobs: "If General Yang hadn't sent out the warriors from the Night Sword Battalion to protect my son in time, I would have died today.  Brother Wang returned to the west hand in hand."

    "What?" After hearing Zhao Dechang's words, Song Taizong stood up suddenly, frowned, and asked him: "How did you say these words?"

    "Report to Emperor Father!" Seeing Song Taizong's frightened and angry face, Zhao Dechang quickly knelt down on the ground and said to him in a tearful voice: "Today there were also assassins in the residence of the minister. Those assassins were so lucky. If it weren't for the night assassination,  The officers and soldiers of the battalion secretly protected my son under the assignment of General Yang, and this time my son must have been poisoned!"

    "You actually want to kill all my princes!" After listening to Zhao Dechang's words, Song Taizong clenched his fists tightly and asked Zhao Dechang: "Do you know who did this?"

    "Dangxiang people!" Zhao Dechang knelt on the ground and said to Song Taizong tremblingly: "General Yang once told Erchen that the Dangxiang people must deal with Erchen and Brother Wang. He must have also warned Brother Wang, but Brother Wang did not  If you pay attention, you will be where you are today!¡±

    "Proclaim Yang Rong immediately!" After listening to Zhao Dechang's words, Song Taizong said to the eunuch standing in the room: "Let him not worry about facing the wall for a month, and come to Prince Xu's Mansion as soon as possible!"

    Having said this, Song Taizong seemed to have remembered something, and quickly said to the eunuch: "If Li Jilong and Lu Mengzheng are outside, tell them to come in immediately."

    The eunuch responded and walked backwards out of Zhao Yuanxi's room.

    After a while, Li Jilong and Lu Mengzheng got the imperial edict and entered the house. They knelt in front of Song Taizong with sad faces, neither of them dared to look up at the old emperor who had lost his son.

    "Do you two know that Yang Rong has warned Yuan Xi to be careful of the Dangxiang people?" Hearing that Zhao Yuanxi died at the hands of the Dangxiang people, Song Taizong was already filled with anger. After the two entered the house, he suppressed his anger and told them  asked.

    "Yes!" Song Taizong asked about this matter, and Lu Mengzheng quickly replied: "General Yang did tell His Highness King Xu to be careful of party members, but His Highness didn't pay attention"

    "Bullshit!" Before Lu Mengzheng could finish his words, Song Taizong interrupted him with an angry roar. He raised his arms, pointed at Lu Mengzheng and Li Jilong tremblingly and said, "You two are usually closest to King Xu. Yang Rong  I'm afraid he sent the Night Assassin Battalion to protect King Shou because he thought Li Jilong that you would let the guards of the Jingsai Army protect King Xu, but you, you are so careless and you want me to lose my beloved son!"

    Thinking of Zhao Yuanxi who was lying on the bed, his whole body was cold and there was no hope of living at all, Song Taizong felt pain in his heart like a needle pricking him. His lips trembled. He wanted to punish the two of them, but in the end he sighed and waved at them.  He waved his hands and said: "You two go down!"

    Ever since he heard that it was the Dangxiang people who secretly carried out the attack, Song Taizong was already trembling slightly with anger.  He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the dead Zhao Yuanxi, his eyes as if they were about to spurt out flames.

    About the time of a stick of incense passed, Yang Rong arrived at Prince Xu¡¯s Mansion under the guidance of the eunuch.  As soon as he entered Zhao Yuanxi's room, Yang Rong knelt on his knees, leaned over and said to Song Taizong: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, please punish me!"

    Seeing Yang Rong acting like this as soon as he entered the room, Song Taizong, who was feeling depressed, was a little confused. He stood up quickly, frowned and asked him: "What's your crime?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have reminded His Royal Highnesses King Xu and King Shou. Considering that the guards around His Highness King Shou are weak, a team of officers and soldiers from the Night Assassin Battalion were sent to protect him secretly!" Yang Rong knelt on the ground and faced him in fear.  Song Taizong said: "The guards in His Royal Highness King Xu's palace are relatively strong, and General Li Jilong can send masters of the Jingsai Army to assist in the protection. I was careless! I never thought that something like this would happen!"

    After listening to Yang Rong's words, Song Taizong sat back on the bed dejectedly, waved his hand towards him, and said to him: "Please get up, Yang Aiqing. Not only are you not guilty, but you are also meritorious! At least you helped me leave a son!"  "

    While speaking, Song Taizong could no longer suppress the sadness of losing his son, and two lines of old tears were already sliding down the corners of his eyes.

    "Your Majesty!" Yang Rong stood up, clasped his fists, bowed and said to Song Taizong: "I had earlier sent a team of men to monitor a team of Party members in the city. They were not seen going out today, but both Your Highnesses were.  Something happened. So I boldly ordered people to fetch them, and now they have been escorted to Prince Xu's Mansion. Please forgive me!"

    "Have you caught the assassin?" After hearing Yang Rong say that a group of party members had been captured, Song Taizong stood up again, his facial muscles twitching slightly.He twitched a few times and said to him: "Where are they? Lead me there quickly!"

    After leaving the room with Song Taizong and Zhao Dechang, Yang Rong led them to the front yard of Prince Xu's Mansion.  In the front yard, more than a dozen party men dressed as Song Dynasty men were being held down by a group of guards, lined up in a row, and kneeling on the ground.  "

    Seeing these more than ten party members, Song Taizong's eyes seemed to burst out with flames. Without waiting for the people below to interrogate him, he stepped forward and yelled at the party members: "Are you sent by Li Jiqian?  "

    The Dangxiang people had already prepared to die, but they were still afraid of Song Taizong. They all turned their heads to the side and ignored him.

    "Your Majesty!" Looking at the party members, Yang Rong clasped his fists and bowed, and said to Song Taizong: "If your Majesty allows it, I would like to ask your Majesty and King Shou to stay away for the time being, and let me interrogate them."

    "Even if you kill them all, I will not hold you accountable!" Looking at the kneeling party members, Song Taizong flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

    Seeing Song Taizong leaving, Zhao Dechang quickly clasped his hands in his fists, bowed slightly, saluted Yang Rong, and then ran towards Zhao Yuanxi's bedroom.

    "Come here!" After the two left, Yang Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted to Chen Rui on the side: "Have someone prepare a sharp incision knife, some candy, and grab a bag of ants!"

    Chen Rui responded and ordered the soldiers from Yejiying who came over to prepare what Yang Rong wanted.

    After hearing what Yang Rong said, the dozen or so party members kneeling on the ground quickly raised their heads, glaring at him fiercely with eyes filled with resentment.

    "Don't think that if you kill someone, you can die comfortably." Looking at the dozen party members, Yang Rong curled his lips and said to them: "If you come out to fool around, you will always pay back. Only one of you  Whether one of you can survive depends on your own performance." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
