Soon, the evidence that Li Chenggong was a 'bandit' was collected, and every item was full of evil.
Unfortunately, Yang Fan did not look happy.
According to Yang Fan's rough estimate, at least a few hundred people were killed this time, and as many as hundreds were arrested.
At least half of these people will be killed, and even the best ending will be a lifetime of corvee service.
But this is the tyranny of imperial power, and this is why everyone wants to be the emperor.
Seeing that Yang Fan was not in high spirits and even showed a trace of intolerance, Li Junxian certainly knew what Yang Fan was thinking, so he could only sigh softly and said: "Brothers who are good friends, the emperor's orders are difficult to deal with. As for how to deal with it, we ministers cannot speak nonsense. You don’t dare to speak nonsense, don’t you think so?”
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you, Brother Li, for the advice, but I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me! I feel a little uneasy!"
Of course he knows this.
In this era of supremacy of imperial power, there is no reason to speak, and there is no room for compassion.
But some habits of later generations made Yang Fan very uncomfortable.
Li Junxian didn't say anything else!
In his opinion, this brother's ability to assess the situation is much better than his own, and he can just point it out.
So he said: "Since the main culprit has been caught, let's go back together to report to the emperor?"
With that said, he asked the soldiers to escort Li Chenggong and others towards Chang'an.
Although Yang Fan didn't want to see His Majesty Li Er at this time, he had no choice but to follow him.
Arriving outside Chengtian Gate, Li Junxian went in first to report back to His Majesty Li Er. Yang Fan was waiting to greet him.
When Yang Fan became impatient with waiting, he walked unsteadily across the palace gate and walked inside.
The soldiers guarding the gate naturally knew about Yang Fan's deeds, and naturally they did not dare to stop the newly promoted Wannian County Duke.
Unknowingly, Yang Fan came to a beautiful garden, where the flowers and plants had obviously been carefully trimmed.
It is spring at this time, and the flowers are in full bloom, making it look full of spring.
A breeze blew by, followed by a strong fragrance of flowers, which made people immersed in it.
But before Yang Fan could slowly appreciate it, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
Because he saw a little girl running among the flowers like an elf.
He was still holding a net bag in his hand, but he was chasing a colorful butterfly.
The butterfly danced among the flowers, left and right, up and down, as if it was teasing the little girl.
Although the little girl couldn't catch it, she was not angry. Instead, she laughed like silver bells from time to time.
Chasing, the butterfly flew out of the flowers.
The little girl chased out and happened to see Yang Fan standing at the entrance of the garden, smiling at her.
The little girl cheered, threw away the net bag in her hand, ran over quickly, hugged Yang Fan's thigh, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Brother-in-law, are you here to see Sizi? I heard that my mother-in-law said that my brother-in-law is injured. Now Does it still hurt?"
Yang Fan picked up the little Sizi and said, "Look, my brother-in-law can pick up this little fat pig like you. Do you think my brother-in-law's injury is healed?"
Little Sizi hugged Yang Fan's neck and said with a mouthful: "Sizi is not a fat pig! If my brother-in-law says that again, Sizi will be angry."
Yang Fan chuckled: "Okay, okay, our Sizi is the most beautiful little princess in the world. She is not fat at all. But if my little princess is not a fat pig, why can't she even catch up with a butterfly?"
Then Xiao Sizi suddenly realized and shouted: "Oh, it's all my fault, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, hurry up and catch that butterfly, it's about to run away."
Yang Fan looked at the carefree little Sizi, and his somewhat irritable mood calmed down.
After looking at the butterflies that flew back to the flowers and danced freely, Yang Fan suddenly felt a little sad.
Such a beautiful butterfly, but it only has a short life. Isn't this just like the life of the little princess in front of me?
She couldn't help but feel more pity in her heart, and said softly: "Sizi, look, that butterfly is flying freely among the flowers. It's so beautiful. Why do you have to catch it?"
What Yang Fan didn't say was that this butterfly is just like you. Once caught and locked up, it may die. So what's the point?
This beautiful but short life, why not let it live happily and freely?
Little Sizi blinked, not understanding the meaning of Yang Fan's words. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Brother-in-law is right. If we catch it and lock it up, wouldn't it be the same as Sizi?"
"Little Sizi is very bored staying in the palace every day! Otherwise, little Sizi won't catch it."
"Brother-in-law still owes me three stories. Please tell Si Zi a story, okay?"
Of course Yang Fan remembered the bet a few days ago.
Looking at Xiao Sizi's big, shining eyes full of longing, I felt even more pity for him.
Even if His Majesty Li Er continues to favor her, she is a princess after all.
Apart from having fun in the palace, he rarely has any companions and rarely goes out.
Now she is chasing butterflies in the palace garden alone. Isn't this a kind of loneliness?
With both hands raised, he directly carried Xiao Sizi on his shoulders and walked towards the pavilion in the garden.
Children don't like to be carried on shoulders, especially little ones like Doudou.
Being used to being carried by Yang Fan, little Sizi was not afraid. Instead, she hugged Yang Fan's head and shouted, her little face as excited as a red apple.
As they walked, Yang Fan said: "Three stories are nothing. If you tell my little princess, you have to tell her a hundred or so stories, so that our princess can hear enough."
Yang Fan's words are really not bragging. When it comes to the knowledge reserve in his head, he may not be as knowledgeable as a great scholar.
But when it comes to storytelling, there is really no one in this era who can compare to him.
Soon, the two came to a pavilion in the center of the garden.
The place is clearly well decorated, with coffee tables and screens, and the scenery is even more elegant.
Surrounded by flowers and swaying green trees, it is quiet, elegant and peaceful.
Put Xiao Sizi on a chair and sit next to him.
Looking around, I didn't see any palace maids or tea cups, and I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
I just rushed here from Qinling in a hurry. After half a day, I felt a little thirsty!
Unknowingly, Yang Fan got used to being served.
Besides, you can’t just pick up the teapot and drink directly from it, right?
Xiao Sizi was very smart. Seeing Yang Fan's disappointed eyes, he asked, "Brother-in-law, want to drink tea?"
Yang Fan was not polite and nodded directly: "Yes, why is there a teapot but no teacup here? Also, are you playing here without a palace maid following you?"
They actually let the little princess play in the garden by herself. Those palace maids were really big-hearted.
There are flower ponds and rockeries in the garden...
If little Sizi made a slight mistake, His Majesty Li Er would have to kill them alive?
Xiao Sizi smiled secretly, winked slyly, and said in Yang Fan's ear: "Of course my father and mother will not allow me to come here to play alone. There were several maids here just now!"
"However, Sizi thought they were not having fun at all, so he lied to them and said that my jade pendant fell into the water. They should be fishing for it in the flower pond at the moment!"
As she said this, she found it interesting and giggled.
Yang Fan smiled helplessly, it turned out that this little girl who seemed like a good baby was also a living treasure.
However, this shows the innocence of children even more...
Little Sizi jumped down from the chair, turned over the side of the table for a while, took out a teacup, and said softly: "Sizi pours tea for brother-in-law, drink it quickly so that you can tell Sizi a story."
Yang Fan grinned and said, "Yes."
It's just that the casual posture shows no sign of being a courtier.
Xiao Sizi poured several cups of tea. Seeing that Yang Fan didn't continue drinking, he sat down next to Yang Fan. He propped up his chin with his little hand, blinked his big eyes, and urged: "Brother-in-law, you've finished drinking the tea. Let's talk quickly." !”
Yang Fan thought for a while and didn't know what to say, so he asked: "What kind of music does our little princess want to hear?"
Because there are too many stories in my mind!
In the previous life, in order to pick up girls, I had dabbled in Grimm's fairy tales and ghost stories.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
Xiao Sizi held her fingers in her mouth and thought for a while.
Yang Fan told her stories such as Snow White and the dwarfs.
These stories were obviously of a foreign style, so Xiao Sizi said: "Brother-in-law, can you tell us the story of the Tang Dynasty?"
Maybe he was afraid that Yang Fan wouldn't be able to tell, so he had to test it carefully.
Yang Fan was amused by her expression, reached out and touched her head, and said, "Of course, my brother-in-law knows a lot of stories!"
"In the Tang Dynasty, when it came to telling stories, my brother-in-law came second. No one dared to say he was first. So my brother-in-law told our little princess a story about monkeys."
"Okay, okay, I just like little monkeys." Xiao Sizi clapped his hands, looking forward to it.
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"In the distant ancient times, when Nuwa was patching up the sky, she forgot that a colorful sacred stone was in the human world. As time went by, this colorful sacred stone absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and gradually showed signs of life. Finally one day, this sacred stone gave birth to a child. A stone monkey, the stone monkey came to a gathering place of monkeys. Due to the stone monkey's infinite power, he gradually became the monkey king here. Unfortunately, he was not satisfied with this...
In his previous life, Yang Fan often told stories to people and knew best how to capture people's focus.
So the story was very interesting to tell. Little Sizi listened with great interest and was completely lost in the mythical story.
When talking about Stone Monkey going overseas to learn the art of immortality, the little princess couldn't help but feel ashamed that she was tired of studying.
When talking about the stone monkey being thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun, little Sizi was also worried and frightened.
As the plot deepens, Xiao Sizi completely immerses himself in it.
What kid doesn't want to be a hero like that?
When it was mentioned that the Stone Monkey had been suppressed for 500 years, his eyes burst into tears and he was very sad. The little Sizi called the great monk a bad guy!
Yang Fan held her in his arms and said softly: "This is just a fairy tale, but this story tells us that we must be brave enough to take responsibility for doing something wrong."
"However, little Sizi is not as naughty as a monkey. Just be happy and don't have any regrets."
Little Sizi nodded tangledly: "Sizi also hopes to become as powerful as that monkey! However, my brother-in-law is right, a naughty boy is not a good boy. Sizi will never tease those palace maids again!"
"So good!" Yang Fan chuckled, stroked her hair lovingly, and kissed her white forehead.
This intimate gesture made Xiao Sizi so embarrassed that she crawled into Yang Fan's arms.
Yang Fan found it interesting, but subconsciously hugged Xiao Sizi into his arms.
This little girl is very sensible, and Yang Fan doesn't want to have an accident because of her playfulness.
Although this little girl withered like a flower in the original history.
But Yang Fan hopes that by paying attention to every aspect, the little princess can grow up healthily.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk!
The sunlight slanted through the screen and shone on the eucalyptus table, scattering countless tiny spots of light.
At this moment, a cough broke Yang Fan's feelings.
I saw His Majesty Li Er walking in slowly with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back.
The little Sizi immediately cheered, jumped up from Yang Fan's arms, ran towards His Majesty Li Er, hugged his thigh, raised his little face and said: "Father, you are here, my brother-in-law just told me The story of the Stone Monkey is so good!"
"Oh?" Your Majesty Li Er's face twitched, and he wanted to get angry.
But when I saw my daughter’s flowery smile, I suppressed my anger!
Yang Fan quickly got up from the chair and said, "I have seen Your Majesty!" But he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The emperor's face was extremely dark. Could it be that he had reached menopause?
Just when Yang Fan was thinking wildly, His Majesty Li Er glanced sideways at Yang Fan and suddenly became angry.
Originally, Li Junxian said that Yang Fan was waiting outside, but Li Er sent people to look for him, but he couldn't find him after searching for most of the afternoon.
There have always been others waiting for him, so how could the emperor wait for others?
Of course Li Er was angry after being teased by Yang Fan, so he said to Xiao Sizi in a deep voice: "You go and play with the palace maid for a while. My father has something to talk to Yang Fan."
Xiao Sizi blinked his big eyes and immediately realized that his father was angry.
Could it be that my brother-in-law has offended his father?
Xiao Sizi stuck out his tongue, feeling very interesting.
She felt that this brother-in-law was too bold and made her father very angry every time.
Turning around to look at Yang Fan, I saw that he was secretly signaling for help.
Little Si Zi understood the idea and hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh without letting go. He said coquettishly, "Si Zi doesn't want to go out. Si Zi wants to play with his father."
"Father, if your brother-in-law has made you angry again, then just beat him. Sizi will never plead for brother-in-law!"
"My brother-in-law just said that if you do something wrong, you must be brave enough to take responsibility. This is what Xiao Sizi learned from the story of Stone Monkey. If my brother-in-law does something wrong, then beat him!"
After saying that, he secretly winked mischievously at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was dumbfounded!
This is really a little ancestor!
The story I just told was mainly to make the little princess pay attention to her and not to wither due to accidents.
Little did he know that these little girls would teach him a lesson in turn, really!
I was counting on you to save my life!
This is good, Xiao Sizi not only refused to save him, but also added insult to injury and stabbed him severely?
OMG!
If Li Er was serious about his abduction of the queen, he would be in serious trouble, and this would be a fatal matter.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er did not get angry. Instead, he patted the top of his daughter's head and said helplessly: "Why, you turned against outsiders and went against your father?"
Princess Jinyang lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Where is Si Zi? Didn't Si Zi say that you can beat your brother-in-law if you want? Besides, he is not an outsider!"
To put it another way, the daughter is her father’s little cotton-padded jacket. She has a good grasp of His Majesty Li Er’s emotions!
She said this deliberately and didn't leave on purpose because she believed it deeply.
As long as she is around, His Majesty Li Er will put away his violent side.
At this time, Yang Fan also understood and secretly gave the little princess a thumbs up and a thumbs up!
As expected, my pain for this little girl was not in vain, so generous.
Being pestered by Xiao Sizi, His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to suppress his anger.
Then he glared at Yang Fan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "You are really good at it. You actually coaxed Sizi to plead for you. Do you think that you can let me let you go and put the queen in danger?"
Yang Fan quickly said: "I don't dare. The reason why the Empress was in danger that day was actually because the hot air balloon was difficult to control and was blown astray, so it landed in the territory of the remnant of the former prince."
"Besides, the minister accidentally discovered the lair of the remnants of the former crown prince. There is no credit but hard work."
"The extermination of the remnants of the former crown prince this time was due to the guidance of His Majesty's wise and powerful forces. You are indeed a rare and famous king throughout the ages."
The flattery was so flattering that Xiao Sizi couldn't bear to look directly at it. He made a face with a look of disgust on his face, which was obviously a silent protest against Yang Fan.
Although he could see Yang Fan's thoughts, His Majesty Li Er did not intend to let Yang Fan go just like that, so he turned to Xiao Sizi and said softly: "Don't worry, father, please go and call your sister Gao Yang over first."
