Chapter 249: Xiang Gong has a weak heart

"Go, go and recruit Yang Guozhong, and let him say the words in the bullet seal in front of me, doesn't he know that he blushes?"

Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly broke out, and his chest rose and fell violently due to his emotion. Yu Chaoen didn't know why, according to what he and Yang Guozhong inferred, the Son of Heaven should secretly hate Qin Jin, and he wished that he would dispose of it under an excuse, but looking at the current situation, the Son of Heaven intended to protect the shaft?

Although Yu Chaoen is quite complacent and his actions are becoming more and more high-profile, he is not a stupid person, and he will never rashly express his position on the premise of not knowing the intentions of the Son of Heaven. With the anger of the Son of Heaven, he behaved like an angry little daughter-in-law, kneeling on the ground all the time, nodding his head to the ground, not daring to be careless for a moment, let alone expressing his opinions at will.

About half an hour later, Yang Guozhong came to the West Inner Garden, where the Son of Heaven temporarily lived, in a panic. On the way, a eunuch had already secretly reported to him the anger of the Son of Heaven.

"Minister......

Before Yang Guozhong could finish saluting, Li Longji angrily threw a few expressions on his face.

"I haven't pursued the past yet, and now I'm in a hurry to recruit the Friends?"

One sentence made Yang Guozhong tremble, and the accusation of the Son of Heaven was unprecedented for him. The first point is that the past matter has not been investigated in time, what exactly does this past matter refer to? Is it the case of "tired of winning and shooting couples", the hands and feet he did behind his back, or is it the responsibility for the ineffective response in the mutiny?

In this regard, Yang Guozhong prefers that the Son of Heaven wants to pursue the former. If this matter is exposed in a row, can there still be him?

To add insult to injury, the second accusation is that "the party is snared"! In this era, the most taboo thing is for ministers to "fight against the same party and fight against differences," because the powerful ministers have only one purpose in forming a party, that is, to harbor ill intentions. In comparison, this point made Yang Guozhong even more afraid and difficult to control.

"The saint is discerning, and although the minister is incompetent, he is faithful to the sun and the moon. I don't dare to agree with what my friends say!"

Yang Guozhong knelt down and cried on the ground.

He can admit that he is incompetent, but he will never dare to admit that he has snared his friends and the party is the same as the other.

Li Longji's eyes were complicated, but his tone was still full of chill.

"Don't you agree?"

After sneering three times in a row, Li Longji actually stopped talking, and didn't say a word again after a long time.

This made Yang Guozhong even more confused; he had already performed badly in the mutiny and did nothing; if it were not for the repeated reuse of the Son of Heaven, how could he easily return to the political hall and be reinstated as prime minister? Now, Yang Guozhong does not know which bottom line the Son of Heaven has touched in his actions to attack Qin Jin, and where can he dare to easily justify himself? He only keeps proclaiming that he is guilty, and loudly expresses his unwavering loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

After repeatedly pulling like this without nutrition for nearly an hour, Li Longji's anger disappeared inexplicably.

The old Son of Heaven not only gave Yang Guozhong a banquet, but even gave him a more important task, that is, to repair Xingqing Palace.

Taiji Palace has been burned down, and Daming Palace is not Li Longji's first choice, only Xingqing Palace, only living in Xingqing Palace, Li Longji will sincerely feel at ease.

In fact, Xingqing Palace was almost not damaged in the mutiny, and the so-called repair was just to show Yan Guozhong that he was returning to the palace.

And the one who is responsible for cleaning up Xingqing Palace has always been Qin Jin's Shenwu Army, and now the Son of Heaven has asked Yang Guozhong to be responsible for the final cleanup, not to show trust and reuse, what else can it be?

Although Yang Guozhong couldn't figure out what the Son of Heaven thought, he still cheered up the spirit of twelve points and made the final preparations for the Son of Heaven to return to the palace.

Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen's actions to attack Gao Xianzhi and Qin Jin failed successively, knowing that they would not be able to bring down these two people in a short period of time, so they had to stop and wait for the opportunity. After all, the coming day is long, and it is still unknown who will have the last laugh.

Three days later, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, entered Chang'an City from Jianfumen in a low-key manner and returned to Xingqing Palace.

To everyone's surprise, before Li Longji entered Xingqing Palace, he went to Yongjiafang first and visited Gao Xianzhi, who was seriously injured and was about to be raised.

As soon as this news came out, all the previous unfavorable rumors about Gao Xianzhi were swept away.

Prior to this, there were rumors inside and outside the government and the opposition that Gao Xianzhi's situation was worrying. Maybe the Son of Heaven still has no killing intent on him, otherwise he would not have connived and acquiesced in so many dirty actions that Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen did behind their backs.

However, a thousand or ten thousand rumors could not withstand this move of the Son of Heaven. Before returning to the palace, he visited Gao Xianzhi, undoubtedly releasing a signal to the government and the opposition that the Son of Heaven intended to reuse this person.

Back in the palace forbidden, Li Longji stood on the stone steps, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, his eyes were hot and his nose was sore. Thinking back to what happened in the past few days, it was like a dream, so that there was still a sense of unreality in Xingqing Palace at the moment.

The development of the situation was as expected by hundreds of officials, even if Gao Xianzhi was still recuperating from his injuries, the edict of the Son of Heaven could not wait to be promulgated by the government and the opposition. Wei Jiansu was unexpectedly taken away by hundreds of officials, and he was disposed of after listening. Gao Xianzhi went one step further and became the head of the prime minister's Zhongshu Order.

The government and the opposition have different reactions to this, and some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried.

Among them, Yang Guozhong has been staring at the position of the head of the prime minister for half a year, but no matter how hard he tries, God always seems to be playing tricks on him and torturing him miserably. If he hadn't gone to the East Palace to embarrass the prince at the beginning of the mutiny, he would not have been captured alive at the first time, and he would not have given Gao Xianzhi a chance to show himself.

But these are established facts, even if Yang Guozhong regrets all his intestines, it is useless, he can only secretly hate and curse, while waiting for the right opportunity to strike hard.

However, what made him feel even more endangered at all times was Qin Jin, who held military power. After more than half a year of tugging, the contradiction between the two people has completely reached the point where it is difficult to resolve, even if Yang Guozhong does not want to be an enemy of Qin Jin anymore, he must always worry about being vigilant against Qin Jin's trouble. Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to completely let this person disappear from his sight.

However, in the current situation, the chances of such a situation are becoming more and more slim.

On the third day of the return of the Son of Heaven to the palace, a major public trial case attracted the attention and attention of Chang'an City.

The Shenwu general Qin Jin was ordered by the Son of Heaven to interrogate Cheng Yuanzhen, the inner supervisor, and ordered him to summon all the officials and nobles who had been wronged in the case of "Tired of Winning and Shooting Couples".

This undoubtedly sends another signal that everyone is happy. That is, the Son of Heaven will rehabilitate all those involved in the case of "Tired of Winning and Shooting Couples" before the mutiny.

As for Cheng Yuanzhen, he is naturally the one who should be fully responsible for this case.

Under the coercion and temptation of the Shenwu Army, Cheng Yuanzhen completely became a cat and a dog at the mercy of others, and confessed all the "all" he knew. However, this did make the case repeated, because in Cheng Yuanzhen's confession, Yang Guozhong, who was the envoy of Longyou Jiedu at the time, was the mastermind of the "Tired of Shooting Couples" case, and behind this big case, there was another person who also surfaced, that is, Fan Changming, a countryman.

According to Cheng Yuanzhen's confession, this person is the one who gave advice behind Yang Guozhong's back, and even participated in it personally, playing a vital role.

"What impact can a mere villager have? It's just a dog driven by Cheng Yuanzhen and Yang Guozhong. But to say that this case is masterminded by Yang Guozhong, the final general thinks that it should have more than eighty percent credibility!"

The generals of the Shenwu Army expressed their opinions on Cheng Yuanzhen's confession, but they all agreed that Fan Changming was an insignificant small role, and the key was to pull Yang Guozhong off the horse to completely eliminate future troubles.

Qin Jin looked at this confession and groaned for a while.

"The key is to have tangible evidence, otherwise how can you be convicted with just a pair of empty mouths and white teeth?"

Zheng Xianli echoed.

"This is very true, outsiders can also say that it is possible for Cheng Yuanzhen's mad dog to bite people indiscriminately!"

"Evidence is nothing more than letters, but how is this different from looking for a needle in a haystack? How can Yang Guozhong be stupid enough to leave evidence that is unfavorable to his true body?"

The generals were discouraged.

At the same time, Yang Guozhong was a little flustered. Although the interrogation of Cheng Yuanzhen was carried out behind closed doors and no irrelevant people were allowed to contact the case, he still had reliable channels to get the news, and Cheng Yuanzhen had already confessed that he was the mastermind of the "Tired of Shooting Couples" case.

And Qin Jin was in charge of the interrogation, so how could he let go of the great opportunity to embarrass him? The answer, of course, was no.

Not only did the sense of crisis come from Qin Jin's side, but also from the unfathomable mind of the Son of Heaven.

After returning to the palace ban, Yang Guozhong tried the Son of Heaven's views on the case of "Tired of Shooting Couples" several times, and the Son of Heaven revealed his disgust and hatred for this case without exception.

If the Son of Heaven believes Cheng Yuanzhen's confession, then Yang Guozhong will inevitably be held responsible, and when the time comes, let alone regain the position of the head of the prime minister, I am afraid it is unknown whether he can continue to be an official.

Yang Guozhong couldn't discuss this matter with his newly formed allies, after all, Yu Chaoen was still a small role before the mutiny, and Yu Chaoen would not be stupid enough to get involved. However, he was not completely unconsulted, and when he returned to the house, he went to see this person who could be consulted.

"Yang Xianggong thinks that Cheng Yuanzhen and his people will take all the blame?"

Yang Guozhong shook his head gloomily.

"This guy's temperament is the most understanding, he can't wait to put all the responsibility on others, where will he take the initiative to take it!"

The person Yang Guozhong saw was Fan Changming, a villager who had drilled through the dog hole with him.

I saw Fan Changming looking like an old god, cracking his mouth and smiling, his eyes revealing a trace of ruthlessness.

"Then Yang Xianggong has nothing to hesitate about, looking for an opportunity......

While speaking, Fan Changming made a knife shape with his hand and waved it fiercely.
