For Li Xingchen, who has seen too many beauties, Yang Lihua is definitely not stunning, but she is definitely among the beauties. Think about it and know that if Yang Jian's daughter has no talent and appearance, even if Yu Wenyong appears again
She would not be selected as the crown princess due to political considerations. After all, Yang Jian was not an indispensable minister in the court at that time, and Yu Wenyong had many people to choose from.
Yang Lihua, who was kneeling in front of Li Xingchen at this time, seemed to have an air of sadness lingering between her brows because of her own experience. Coupled with her plain white body, it was unbearable to blaspheme.
Li Xingchen coughed slightly. Of course, he was not so lustful that he would pounce on a pretty woman first. And Yang Lihua in front of him obviously did not accept her current fate as calmly as Chen Yueyi. She called herself Mrs. Youdehou and Sin.
The woman was obviously reminding Li Xingchen of her identity intentionally or unintentionally.
The reason why Li Xingchen met with Yang Lihua was because he did not intend to completely draw a clear line with the Yang family. Because the stability of Chang'an City still requires the assistance of the officials from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now what Li Xingchen can actually clean up is those such as Gao,
Huangfuji was loyal to Yang Jian who did not intend to surrender.
In fact, most of the officials in Chang'an City are actually more or less close to Yang Jian, otherwise they would not be qualified to stay in Chang'an City. For these officials, Li Xingchen still has needs, so naturally it is impossible to kill them all.
, and even have to work hard to win people's hearts.
If the previous raids on the residences of Huangfu Ji and others were intended to scare the monkeys and make people with evil intentions or other agendas restrain themselves, then naturally Li Xingchen now had to find a way to win over people's hearts again.
Meeting Yang Lihua was obviously part of this, telling everyone that what Li Xingchen wanted to do was not to kill everyone who had anything to do with Yang Jian, but to punish those who worked and were loyal to Yang Jian.
Li Xingchen asked with great interest: "Why do you want to see me?"
Yang Lihua raised her head and looked at Li Xinchen: "The sinful woman wants to know whether her father is alive or dead."
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "It's an unfortunate question of yours. I also want to know very much."
Yang Lihua took two steps forward on her knees and asked anxiously: "Is your Majesty serious about what he said? Does it mean that my father is not dead?"
Li Xingchen said lightly: "After the Battle of Shangluo, Yang Jian's whereabouts were unknown. I also sent a large number of people to search for him, but there is no result yet. Maybe as you wish, he is not dead, or maybe he has been buried long ago.
It’s a place, it’s just not well known.”
After a pause, Li Xingchen pointed to the sky: "Only heaven and earth know where your father is."
Yang Lihua fell to the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me the truth."
Li Xingchen laughed: "Yang Jian and I are enemies, but there is no need to regard everyone who has anything to do with Yang Jian as enemies."
"Then your Majesty means that he will not kill the guilty woman's family?" Yang Lihua asked urgently. At this time, the ice on her face seemed to begin to crack.
Li Xingchen looked at her and couldn't help but become interested: "What do you think?"
"My mother and several younger siblings have no intention of being enemies with Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to let them go." Yang Lihua prostrated again, "If His Majesty has the wrath of thunder, the sinful woman is willing to bear it."
"Hahahaha!" Li Xingchen couldn't help laughing, "You are just a woman, can you bear it all?"
Yang Lihua looked at Li Xingchen in panic, and Li Xingchen waved his hand: "I haven't planned to do anything to your family yet, but I even want to apologize to Mrs. Dugu. I did kill her two sons before.
.”
Yang Lihua secretly gritted her teeth. Two of her brothers died and were taken away by Li Xingchen in an understatement. However, now that the entire Yang family is already a prisoner, there is no use even if she is unwilling. At least Yang Jian's blood is still circulating in the country.
World, isn’t it?
"I will have your family escorted back to Jiankang Mansion and taken good care of. Don't worry," Li Xingchen said immediately, "Maybe there will be some outstanding talents among them in the future."
Yang Lihua couldn't help but smile bitterly. After experiencing so many joys and sorrows of life and death, she had long looked down upon the so-called glory and wealth. Behind these glory and wealth were often endless killings and conspiracies. This was something Yang Lihua didn't want her brother to suffer anymore.
The sisters feel it.
Li Xingchen stood up and walked to her: "But I don't seem to have the obligation to think about Yang Jian's descendants like this, what do you think?"
Yang Lihua looked up at Li Xinchen. The meaning of Li Xinchen's words seemed to be obvious. As the eldest daughter of the Yang family, she naturally knew that she had no choice but to bear this kind of humiliation. Yang Lihua leaned forward and said, "I am willing to serve your majesty."
I will make cows and horses to repay His Majesty's kindness."
Li Xingchen did not speak, but stretched out his hand to help her up. He even patted the dust on her skirt and whispered: "Yang Jian promised his little daughter to me at the beginning. You can discuss it with your mother when you go back.
"
Yang Lihua looked at Li Xinchen in shock, and Li Xinchen laughed loudly and said: "As for you, Zhang Lihua is not here, so you can be the female official beside me."
Yang Lihua didn't know how to answer for a while. She thought Li Xinchen was targeting her, but she didn't expect that Li Xinchen was still thinking about her sister.
"I have no obligation to save the lives of your family." Li Xingchen whispered in Yang Lihua's ear, "If you don't pay the price, others will have opinions."
As for Yang Jian's family members, Li Xingchen could simply have them exiled. Now that a Dugu family was leading a group of orphans and widows, there was no difference between being exiled and being sentenced to death. Even though it was a difficult death process, it was better to have their necks wiped clean.
However, Li Xingchen agreed to give them almost the same treatment as the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen royal families. Of course, it was impossible for them to receive no compensation at all.
Yang Lihua watched Li Xinchen leave in bewilderment, and she almost collapsed there.
Dad, where are you? How should we, the orphans and widows left, struggle in the hands of the enemy?

"Shameless, extremely shameless!" Xiao Xiang pointed at Li Xinchen and said loudly.
"Yes, it's so shameless. If one isn't enough, I need two!" Ning Yuan followed beside him, "Now that you have my sister and me, why don't you woo woo!"
Yuchi Chifan decisively covered Ning Yuan's mouth.
And Li Xingchen helplessly spread his hands, the news leaked out too quickly, right?
He really needs to interrogate Li Ping and the guards around him. These guys are very active in informing people.
Yuchi Chifan arrived with his concubines on the third day. The first thing Xiao Xiang did after arriving was to settle accounts with Li Xingchen.
