After the Battle of Shangyangguan, the Chang'an market gradually regained its former vitality, although prices were still high, but a major war beheaded tens of thousands, so that the rebels returned in vain, which made everyone feel that the peace of the chaos was just around the corner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, with the gradual revival of Chang'an market, some rumors without wind and waves have also spread among the streets of Fangshi, and they have caused an uproar inside and outside Chang'an in a few days.

"Bastard!"

Yang Guozhong was angry and scolded the servants around him, and he scolded for a whole afternoon. And he himself was scolded by the Son of Heaven in Xingqing Palace for a whole morning, and now he is just venting the anger he suffered in the palace on his slaves.

"Go to the market and find out who is spreading rumors!"

"Yes, yes, the old slave will send someone to check again, and it will definitely be investigated, please rest assured!"

The old servant's voice trembled, he had never seen the master of the house so angry, and he was already frightened and didn't know what to do.

"Found out a piece of shit? All day, what did you find out? If there is no result, don't appear in front of Yang again!"

The news of Yang Guozhong's private negotiations with Sun Xiaozhe spread overnight, and it was also spread in the streets. The officials who did not know the truth widened their eyes and closed their mouths tightly, waiting to watch the show. And Yang Guozhong, who is the party concerned, feels angry, because everything involved in the rumors is true, if it is not for the insiders to make these news public, then it will be hell!

But who is this man?

Yang Guozhong leaned weakly on the soft couch, closed his eyes and silently counted all the insiders in his heart, he did this matter on the orders of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is naturally the insider, but the person who leaked the news must not be the Son of Heaven, because this has already implicated the Son of Heaven, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven has been damaged.

The second person in the know is Wei Fangjin, who is the same as Yang Guozhong in the political hall, although this Wei Xianggong is usually not on good terms with Yang Guozhong, but he is cautious and tactful, and will never rashly use this kind of easily exposed means to seek a high position. Because in the morning, the Son of Heaven even scolded Wei Fangjin, if he did this to eliminate dissidents, then the result would hurt others and hurt himself. Yang Guozhong didn't believe that with Wei Fangjin's cleverness, he would be so stupid.

Then, there is only one person left in the know, and that is Gao Xianzhi, the Zhongshu Ling who led the troops in Tongguan. As soon as he thought of Gao Xianzhi, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but grit his teeth, his cousin Yang Xingben died tragically in the hands of Gao Xianzhi because of this incident, and the new and old grudges were sandwiched together, which already made him feel like a fire.

"Good Gao Linu, Yang has always been a lot of forbearance to you, and now he is actually riding on Yang's neck to, is it unbearable!"

Suddenly, the voice of a house slave sounded outside.

"Xianggong, Jingzhao Yin Weiji asks to see you!"

"Wei Ji?

Hearing that it was Wei Ji, Yang Guozhong refused to meet this person without hesitation. Although Wei Ji's personality was very tactful, he was also respectful to Yang Guozhong, and he had never demolished the stage, but he actually knew for a long time that Wei Ji, Jing Zhaoyin, had an inextricable relationship with Qin Jin, and at such a sensitive moment, how could he see such a person with an extremely complicated identity and background again? Who knows what Wei Ji had in mind.

But the slave outside did not go away, but replied:

"Jingzhao Yin Weiji seems to have expected that Xianggong would not see him, and he also explained to the slave and maid, if Xianggong refuses to meet, he will let the slave and maid present the same thing!"

"What, what, bring in!"

Yang Guozhong only felt that this matter was quite strange, since Wei Ji had this self-knowledge, he knew that he would definitely not see him, so why did he insist on seeing him?

The servant pushed the door in and handed a letter to Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong took the letter and asked the servant casually:

"What did Wei Ji say besides this letter?"

"Jing Zhaoyin said, Xiang Gong will know after reading this letter!"

Yang Guozhong was confused, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Wei Ji's gourd, and tore open the fire paint seal of the envelope, revealing a silk book inside. But when I took it out and unfolded it, I found that it was not a letter, but a gift list. He was immediately confused, Wei Ji gave himself a heavy gift at this time, what was his plan?

Looking at the things recorded on the gift list, it is not just gold and silver, from the beautiful jade of the Western Regions to the tortoiseshell pearls of the South China Sea, all of them are rare treasures, and I am afraid that the treasures stored in the palace are not the same, and Wei Ji is willing to pay his blood.

When Yang Guozhong's eyes continued to look, he suddenly saw the name and official position of the person who should receive the gift, but it was not Yang Guozhong who was the same as the three products under the Zhongshu Sect, but clearly wrote three words, Zhongshu Order.

Datang has only one Chinese book order, that is, Gao Xianzhi in Tongguan, even if someone gives him a gift, how could this gift order get into the hands of Jingzhao Yin Weiji?

Once the incident involved Gao Xianzhi, Yang Guozhong immediately became interested.

"Please see you in the main hall!"

Yang Guozhong simply tidied up his clothes, left the study and went straight to the main hall where the guests were meeting. When he arrived at the main hall, the servants in the palace had already led Jingzhao Yin Weiji into the hall slowly.

"Subordinate Wei Ji, meet Yang Xianggong!"

To be honest, Yang Guozhong had a good impression of Wei Ji, if this person was not deeply involved with Qin Jin, he really wanted to include this person in his bag, so his attitude towards this person was also quite friendly and polite.

"Wei Dayin is polite, I don't know what is the important matter of visiting late at night?" Then, he pointed to the couch next to him, "Please take a seat!"

Wei Ji sat down unhurriedly and smiled slightly, "Yang Xianggong has seen the gift list presented by the subordinates?"

Yang Guozhong nodded, and asked rhetorically without joy on his face: "Just a gift list, Wei Dayin made a big fuss!"

At this time of crisis, even if Gao Xianzhi is corrupt, there is no one who can replace him, since the Son of Heaven wants to use this person to settle the chaos, he can only use it to the end, as long as this person does not have the heart of rebellion, no matter what the crime, the Son of Heaven will suppress it.

At this point, Yang Guozhong consciously guessed Wei Ji's intention. Wei Ji himself would never be an enemy of Gao Xianzhi, but it was Qin Jin behind him who seemed to have a lot of trouble with Gao Xianzhi. Just yesterday, the Son of Heaven also received a letter from Gao Xianzhi, in which he sued Qin Jin fiercely, and even asked the Son of Heaven to assign Pujin to Tongguan for integrated defense.

It's just that the Son of Heaven didn't express his position immediately, and it seems that he still has careful consideration.

At such a sensitive moment, Wei Ji sent Gao Xianzhi a gift list for accepting bribes, if there was no Qin Jin's instigation behind this matter, Yang Guozhong categorically refused to believe it.

A smile appeared on Yang Guozhong's face, he was waiting for Wei Ji to give him a reasonable explanation, Qin Jin had also learned to be obedient, and he actually wanted to use him, the prime minister of the dynasty, as a knife.

However, Wei Ji's words almost made him jump from his seat.

"It's just a gift list, naturally it can't be anything, but the person who gave the gift is Sun Xiaozhe!"

"Who?"

"Sun Xiaozhe!"

Yang Guozhong stood up, came to Wei Ji in a few steps, leaned over and asked again:

"Repeat, who's the giver?"

Wei Ji repeated three more words in a hurry.

"Sun Xiaozhe!"

"This matter is very important, you can have solid evidence? Otherwise, you will kill yourself!"

"The subordinates naturally know that the involvement is extremely heavy, if there is no evidence of iron beating, how can they hand over this gift list to Yang Xianggong?"

Yang Guozhong's heart was pounding for a while, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and he didn't care whether he would be used as a knife, and his brain was rapidly switching.

"Prime Minister Gong, the patrol under the command of the subordinate personally captured the pseudo-Yan Yushi Cheng Zhang Yu, when he was arrested, this person had just entered Yongjiafang!"

Yongjiafang is the location of Gao Xianzhi and the mansion in Chang'an City, Zhang Yu entered Yongjiafang, and found a gift list to be handed over to the Gao family, is this kind of evidence not real? After Yang Guozhong listened to Wei Ji's words, he asked himself this three times in his heart, and the answer he got each time was yes.

This is indeed solid evidence, in addition to the eldest princess Huo who just moved in, there is only Gao Xianzhi's family left, and the rest of the high-ranking officials and magnates who originally lived in the fang, because they stood on the wrong side in the mutiny and were implicated, they have all been exiled from Chang'an.

In order to stabilize his mind and emotions, Yang Guozhong coughed dryly, and asked quietly:

"Such a big event, Wei Dayin should report it to the sage and know about it, why did he tell Yang?"

Wei Ji still smiled slightly, and replied unhurriedly:

"Yang Xianggong is generous, it is precisely because it is very involved that the subordinates dare not be proficient, so they specially asked Yang Xianggong how to deal with it!"

Wei Jiyan couldn't see that Yang Guozhong was pretending to be confused, but since the other party was pretending to be confused, he couldn't stab this layer of window paper in a hurry. He just wanted to see how long Yang Guozhong was going to pretend.

"It involves important ministers, and the court has its own customization, but after all, Gao Xianggong has the power of soldiers and horses, and he must be dealt with by power, otherwise it will be the foundation of the court that will be shaken, and once there is chaos, it is definitely not something you and I can bear. ”

What Yang Xianggong said was extremely true, and the subordinates also considered this matter, so they didn't dare to be arbitrary, so they could only hand it over to Xianggong for disposal. “

Yang Guozhong couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that Wei Ji was still going around in circles with him and refused to tell the truth, how could the two sides cooperate if he didn't tell the truth? Although he also hated Qin Jin, he hated Gao Xianzhi who killed his cousin and nephew and secretly made ghosts, so there would be no ideological obstacle when he secretly cooperated with Qin Jin at this time.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong coughed dryly, and finally got straight to the point.

"Let's put it bluntly, Yang doesn't mind cooperating with the people behind Wang Dayin, but since it is cooperation, you must show some sincerity, otherwise it will ......"

Otherwise, wouldn't Yang Guozhong have made knives for them in vain? This is what Yang Guozhong wanted to say but didn't say, he only needs a word accurately, whether it is Wei Ji or Qin Jin, what is the purpose, what result do you want to get, and how will he cooperate with himself!

Once this matter is poked out, it will be a earth-shaking situation, Yang Guozhong asked himself, he needs a powerful person to bear it together!
