Under Yang Yuhuan's strong insistence, Yang Guozhong had to reluctantly accept the three hundred taels of gold in his hand, and went straight to the palace out of the mansion.

At this moment, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Yang Gao was receiving the newly appointed commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, an old poisoner, is worthy of being the best self-preservation person in the Three Kingdoms period, if he had been entrusted by the emperor with such an important task as the commander of the Jinyi Guard when he first arrived, he would have been grateful and thanked the Holy Grace.

But Jia Xu was as plain as usual, and just said lightly Thank Your Majesty for your attention, this calmness, this honor and disgrace are not shocked, even Yang Gao, who has been a man for two generations and has experienced many years of imperial career, secretly admired.

At this moment, a guard at the door came to report that Yang Guozhong was out asking to see him, saying that there was an urgent matter to report.

Hearing this, Yang Gao glanced up at Jia Xu in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Jia Aiqing, what do you think of Yang Guozhong?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "This person is mediocre in intelligence, mediocre in ability, good at opportunism, flattering, cheating and slippery, it is difficult to be useful!" ”

Yang Gao smiled slightly and said, "You mean to let me stop using him." ”

"No!"

Jia Xu shook his head slightly: "What the minister means, Your Majesty not only wants to use him, but also to give him high-ranking officials and reuse him." ”

Yang Gao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Why is that? ”

"Your Majesty, do you know what is the foundation of the family's inheritance for a hundred years or even a thousand years?" Jia Xu did not directly answer Yang Gao's question, but threw another question to Yang Gao.

"What does Jia Qing think?" Yang Gao smiled slightly and asked Jia Xu rhetorically.

Weichen thought that the foundation of the family's thousand-year-old inheritance was its backbone, and it would never succumb to the imperial power. In the face of the general trend, it can bow its head and obey, but it will never willingly become a tool in the hands of the emperor. ”

Jia Xu glanced up at Yang Gao, and when he saw Yang Gao nodding slightly, he continued: "Yang Guozhong does have many shortcomings, but because of this, His Majesty can easily control this person.

Weichen suggested that His Majesty reuse this person, slowly support his position in the Hongnong Yang family, and let him replace the head of the Hongnong Yang family. If the Hongnong Yang family has this person as the head of the family, it will be wiped out in less than ten years! ”

"Hahaha, Jia Aiqing, I really didn't misunderstand you!"

Yang Gao laughed out loud, "Xuan Yang Guozhong enters the hall!" ”

Yang Guozhong walked into the main hall under the guidance of the guards, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and said: "Junior minister Yang Guozhong sees Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be in good health, long live long live!" ”

Yang Gao smiled slightly, and the void waved his hand and said, "Yang Aiqing, don't be polite!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Guozhong got up slowly, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister's request to see him this time is a major matter to show Your Majesty. This matter is very important, and the minister urgently asks to see His Majesty! ”

"What's the big deal? Come quickly, you don't have to be so mysterious? ”

Yang Gao frowned, very dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's startled performance.

Yang Guozhong saw that Yang Gao was a little impatient, and he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, so he hurriedly explained the matter of Fan Jun coming to buy him and asking him to help investigate Sun Wujian.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the three hundred taels of gold that Fan Jun gave to the minister, and the minister does not dare to hide it privately, and is willing to dedicate it all to the imperial court to fill the treasury."

Yang Gao was surprised after listening to what Yang Guozhong said, and secretly thought that Yang Guozhong was famous for being greedy for money and lustful in history, how did he resist the temptation of the Tang Dynasty spies this time?

After a pause, he nodded and said: "It's rare that Yang Aiqing understands the righteousness, if you can crack the Tang Dynasty intelligence network in Luoyang City in one fell swoop this time, I should remember your first credit!" ”

Yang Guozhong immediately lowered his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not bully the king. In fact, the minister was almost bewitched by the Tang Dynasty spy, and it was the sister who dissuaded the minister in time and reined in the precipice. If Your Majesty wants to remember the merit, put this merit on the head of the little sister! ”

"I said, how can Yang Guozhong resist the temptation? It turned out that Yang Guifei had a long-term vision! ”

Yang Gao suddenly realized, glanced down at Yang Guozhong, and said with a smile: "Then Yang Aiqing has to listen to it, you can take back this gold, and I will give you a reward." ”

After a pause, Yang Gao said lightly: "Sister Ling is so well aware of righteousness, I really want to see her, you can take her into the palace another day!" ”

Yang Guozhong was immediately ecstatic when he heard this, he has been working in the palace these days in the hope of bringing Yang Yuhuan to Yang Gao. He believes that with Yang Yuhuan's appearance, as long as Yang Gao can see it, it will be a sure thing to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, what he had worked so hard to spend and spend all his money to do today would be so simple today, and the three hundred taels of gold that he had originally planned to hand over were transferred back to his hands. Yang Guozhong was proud, but also secretly admired Yang Yuhuan's foresight.

After Yang Guozhong left happily, Yang Gao turned his head to look at Jia Xu, who had been silent since Fang Cai, and asked in a deep voice: "Jia Qing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that Your Majesty stay still for the time being, and wait until the assassins sent by Li Shimin will do it before closing the net!" ”

"Assassins?"

Yang Gao's face changed slightly: "Why are you sure that Li Shimin sent someone to kill the eldest grandson Wujian, instead of saving their mother and son?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "The eldest grandson is a weak woman, Li Chengqian is a three-year-old child, no one can send them out of Luoyang City, where heavy troops are stationed. ”

Yang Gao nodded slowly, and then continued to ask, "Then why did you ask me to wait until the assassin made a move before closing the net?" ”

Jia Xu glanced up at Yang Gao, and still said lightly: "What does Your Majesty think of Li Shimin?" ”

Yang Gao was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "This man is a rare person in a hundred years. In my heart, I am not as good as him! ”

Jia Xu nodded slowly, being able to face the gap between himself and his opponent, this is the bearing that the owner of the business should have: "Li Shimin's talent is far better than that of his brother Li Jiancheng and his father Li Yuan, if this person is allowed to take charge of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, it will not be the blessing of my Great Sui."

Li Shimin sent assassins to assassinate his wife this time because he was afraid that his eldest grandson would be unclean and unchaste, which would damage his face. His Majesty will take the initiative later, one can make the eldest grandson Wujian die to Li Shimin's heart, and the other can capture the assassin to expose to the world the true face of Li Shimin who did not hesitate to kill his wife and son for the throne, so that he will be spurned by the world! ”

Yang Gao pondered for a long time when he heard this, nodded slowly and said, "What Jia Qing said is very good. I ordered Yang Guozhong to reveal the residence of the eldest grandson Wujian to the pseudo-Tang secret agent! ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

。。。。。。。。。。

That night, Wang Yue led the assassins to raid the residence of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his son Li Chengqian was killed on the spot. Except for Wang Yue, most of the Tang Dynasty assassins were killed, and the rest were captured.
