Chapter 406: The Yang Clan's Rebellion
"I don't know, but if Yang Xuan really has an objection, I will give this edict, and he is afraid that he will rebel immediately!"
When Yang Guang said this, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes: "Yuan Qi misunderstood me, Gao Shicheng should be damned!"
Yuan Qi is the character of Duan Wenzhen, and the secretary of the military department who died of illness in Liaodong not long ago is the pillar of the court of Gancheng that he relied on.
After the defeat of Liaodong a few years ago, Yang Guang once sighed that if Duan Yuanqi was still there, he would not be in a situation where he would flee from Liaodong in embarrassment.
It seems that this Duan Yuanqi also has times when he is confused.
This is because Yang Xuangan once said to Duan Wenzhen before the expedition to Liao: "Xuangan is the grace of the world, and he is more than a career, and he is not a frontier descendant, so why should he be responsible! Ming Gong Bing Ge is a division, dare to lay henchmen. β
The meaning of this sentence is that my family has received more favor from the state than it deserves, and if I do not make meritorious contributions to the frontier, how can I blame it? If there is a police officer in the frontier, I will be whipped in the battle array and make some small contributions. Ming Gong, you are in charge of the military revolution, I take the liberty to tell you my thoughts.
And the reason why Yang Guang learned at this time was because Duan Wenzhen had relayed Yang Xuangan's words to him in public. At that time, he also praised Yang Xuangan, saying that 'there must be generals in the door, and there must be faces in the door, which is really true', and gave Yang Xuangan thousands of paragraphs.
But even at that time, Yang Guang was still wary of Yang Xuangan, although he was more courteous, but he didn't actually give him much real power.
Until not long ago, an edict was issued, ordering Yang Xuangan to serve as the left servant of Liyang Xingtai, supervising the grain and grass in Henan and Jiangnan.
On the one hand, it is because Yang Xuangan has relaxed his vigilance because of his politeness and low-key in recent years, and on the other hand, it is Gao Shicheng and Mrs. Cai of Ronghua, who is new in the palace.
Gao Shicheng has always had some unclear connections with the Duke of Chu, but Yang Su has adhered to the government for decades, and the whole dynasty is his person, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples are all over the world. To find out what has nothing to do with Yang Su among the important ministers of the court and the eunuchs of the inner palace, it can be said that it is difficult to climb to the sky.
So he didn't deliberately take precautions before.
As for Mrs. Ronghua's Cai, could it be that this woman is also involved in the Duke of Chu?
These thoughts flashed in Yang Guang's mind, and then he restrained his miscellaneous thoughts: "I will secretly order Wei Zhengdao and the others, let them be careful, and will not give him the opportunity to raise an army to rebel." Fan Zigai and Uncle Huang are in charge of the east capital, which will also make Henan County as stable as Mount Tai. After all, it was seven days ago, and I made a decree, so I can't change it overnight, and let's plan it slowly. You embroidered clothes and guards, you can continue to track down the evidence of Chu Guogong's crimes, but remember not to startle the snake-"
If anyone in the court is replaced, he can be taken from office and imprisoned without hesitation, and the evidence or anything is dispensable.
But only Yang Xuan can't do it - the world knows that this person's father is as important to him as Yang Guangen!
The key is that there are many friends in the government of Chu and their wings, and once there is a change, the government and the opposition will be turbulent and the world will be in turmoil. This is the same reason as the previous one he chose to temporarily endure the Jincheng Xue family.
Before the success of the Liao campaign, he would not allow any changes in his rear.
"The old slave obeys!"
Wang Chonggu immediately bowed his head and said: "The old slave will not let the Duke of Chu notice the clues." β
"There are also Li Shimin and Dou, and they must not be omitted. β
As Yang Guang spoke, he threw the volumes in front of him into the basket next to the bookcase: "However, there are priorities. You should understand this truth, Chonggu?"
"The old slave understands!"
Wang Chonggu bowed down again: "The top priority is still those evil thieves and the remnants of Nanchen. β
At best, Li Shimin was only bold and dared to attack and kill officials by force.
But the thieves who encountered the queen before, as well as the masterminds behind the rebellion of King Qi in the winter hunt, were shaking the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui.

When Wang Chonggu got off the dragon boat, he rode his horse and stopped on the east bank of the canal, looked in the direction of the south, and fell into contemplation.
Standing behind him was Sima Liancheng, who had been transferred to Taiyuan County as the general of Xiuyilang: "The ambassador is worried about the situation in Luoyang? I think Sima is not here, most of them will be safe and sound." β
As far as he knew, since the winter hunt for more than a month, the situation in Luoyang City has been quite peaceful. Under the auspices of Wang Chonggu, there were constantly rebellious parties of the old ministries and the eight divisions of the Demon Dragon left by Sikong Wuji who were arrested and brought to justice. The latter's activities in Luoyang City have also been suspended and have entered a state of full contraction.
However, after the Son of Heaven left Beijing and conquered Liaodong in the north, Wang Chonggu and many super-high-quality powerhouses in the court had to go north, the situation in Luoyang City was very likely to be repeated.
At this time, Sima Liancheng was even secretly glad that fortunately he listened to Li Shimin's persuasion and was transferred to the place. If he continues to stay in Luoyang now, I don't know what kind of fate it will be.
After the winter hunt, he had more than a dozen colleagues who he made friends with on a daily basis, either demoted or directly taken to prison for questioning. Among them, the most serious crime is collusion with the unbridled remnants of the party, and to a lesser extent, it is also dereliction of duty.
But the next life of these people is only afraid that it will be even more difficult.
Now the new commander of the embroidered guard, Sima Chao, although he is an experienced detective veteran, his cultivation is more powerful than the dead Tang Yuanhua. But this person's deterrent power is still more than one level worse than that of Wang Chonggu.
And once there is chaos in Luoyang City again, most of his colleagues will have to be questioned by the above.
If it's just a fine salary, it's okay, or even a demotion, but if something goes wrong and causes His Majesty to be angry, the outcome may even be worse than death.
"I'm not worried about the situation in Luoyang. After all, that person has already returned to the Eastern Capital. With him in charge, the eastern capital will be safe and sound. β
Wang Chonggu didn't specifically explain who 'that person' was, his face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with complicated meaning: "Our family just admires the wisdom of your friend." β
"Admiration?"
Sima Liancheng looked puzzled: "What the ambassador said was Li Shimin?"
"Isn't that the one?"
Wang Chonggu sighed softly: "Gao Shicheng, this guy, he lost unjustly today!"
Speaking of this name, Sima Liancheng also remembered the chamberlain he saw on the dragon boat just now, with a pale face and a breath like a dead man.
This person is the eunuch who holds the seal, and he is in charge of the imperial study of the Son of Heaven and the submission of folds, as well as all the seals, and is one of the most trusted eunuchs in the palace.
But at that time, several people who walked out of the study of the Son of Heaven with Gao Shicheng all looked at him with a look of pity and schadenfreude.
"I heard that Gonggong Gao has been suspended from his position as the eunuch of the seal, and the Son of Heaven plans to let him reflect behind closed doors?"
Sima Liancheng first asked tentatively, and seeing that Wang Chonggu was not different, he continued to ask curiously: "But what does this have to do with Li Shimin?"
In his opinion, the situation of Li Shimin and his boss today is extremely dangerous.
If it weren't for his friend, he would be really loyal to the Son of Heaven and dare to do anything, and he just happened to win the Chang'an Black Market. So this time, not only Li Shimin will lose the holy family of the Son of Heaven, but Wang Chonggu, the embroidered ambassador in front of him, will inevitably be heavily responsible.
This time, Gao Shicheng took the initiative to open the Jincheng Xue clan in front of the heavens, in addition to having a strong malice and suspicion towards Li Shimin, why wasn't he targeting Wang Chonggu?
"Do you really think it's a coincidence?"
Wang Chonggu shook his head, with self-deprecation in his eyes: "Why is it strange that the secret fold of the Longxi embroidered clothes will be presented at this time, and it happens to fall into the hands of Gao Shicheng?"
Sima Liancheng couldn't help but suddenly have an epiphany: "Ambassador, you mean that this secret letter is actually from your instructions?"
It is also strange to say that the embroidered clothes of Longxi, although he is not a descendant of Wang Chonggu, has always been respectful to Wang Chonggu's boss.
He thought that this person had already betrayed him, and he was being provoked, and he was ready to stick a knife in Wang Chonggu's back, but did it turn out to be the latter's handiwork?
"Your friend, to be exact. When he went to Luoyang, he already understood that the conflict between him and Xue Ju could not be concealed from the Son of Heaven. But the most feared thing about your friend is that he will use his own disadvantages to turn them into traps for his enemies."
Wang Chonggu sighed: "I don't know how many times before, I have reported this person to the Son of Heaven, accepted bribes from courtiers, and had a close relationship with the Duke of Chu. But the Son of Heaven has been listening to it and not caring much, but this son has almost moved this Gao Shicheng to the layout just once. Wouldn't this kind of method make the old man admire?"
When Sima Liancheng heard this, he not only gasped, but also glanced at Chang'an in disbelief: "Isn't this person's position like a ghost or god." β
He thought to himself that if Wang Chonggu's words were true, then this Li Shimin, I'm afraid he was not a demonic figure?
"It's not to the point of the ghost and god opportunity, it can only be said that this Gao Shicheng was unlucky, and he hit the knife edge. β
Wang Chonggu shook his head: "He was too anxious to die by himself." The so-called self-inflicted iniquity cannot live, and that is it. β
He guessed Li Shimin's original intention, but he just planned to take this opportunity to weaken the Son of Heaven's trust in Gao Shicheng, and by the way, make himself invincible.
But Gao Shicheng pretended to be smart, and dared to use the word 'Zhang Heng' to provoke the anger of the Son of Heaven - this is definitely not the way to serve the king. After the news that Li Shimin won the Chang'an black market, it was natural that he suffered a backlash. The suspicions and doubts that the Son of Heaven had accumulated over the years of Gao Shi's growth completely exploded at that moment.
Then Wang Chonggu turned his head sideways: "I have a top-secret matter here, which needs to be handed over to you." β
Sima Liancheng's expression suddenly turned grim, he knew that Wang Chonggu called him over today, and it was impossible for him to talk about these secrets in the court.
