Within a few days, Yan Sheng brought a reply from Xingyifang, and they found out the identity of the person with the scar on his face, and sure enough, as Liu Ling said, that person was the tiger master of Chang'an Tiger Hall. The Tiger Hall is now strong enough, there are hundreds of people up and down, all of them are outlaws, and the Tiger Hall has a perfect system and strict hierarchy, as if it is already a small court. Most of the time, this tiger master is just a matter of affairs in the hall, and he doesn't need to come forward for basic matters, this time he came to Luoyang in person, and mixed with the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu, presumably they must be planning something big.

In order to find out the truth, Nanxingyi took people to Chang'an in person, and after finding the location of the Tiger Hall, she went to talk about business with a large amount of gold and silver, but there were only a few people left behind in the Tiger Hall, and after hearing about the intention of the Southbound Mind, she was also polite to her, but the person in charge did not take the order, no matter how the Nanxingyi raised the price, he only had one sentence: The Tiger Hall was closed.

Tiger Hall has always been doing the business of collecting money, as long as the money is in place, they dare to do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, kills people and sells goods, and now the money is sent to the door, but they don't accept it, which shows that the entire Tiger Hall has been sent out by the Tiger Master to do that big thing, and there are no idlers in the hall, so they can't take new orders.

"The Tiger Hall has made a name for itself," Sima Xuanhua said: "But the court is also keeping an eye on them, their previous backer was the Chang'an Order, the Chang'an Order was attached to the King of Qi, after the King of Qi fell, the Chang'an Order was also given death, the newly appointed Chang'an Ling was the confidant of the King of Changsha, and as soon as he took office, he began to track down the Tiger Hall, so they urgently needed to find a new backer." ”

"People are greedy and not satisfied, and when they have money, they want to have power," Yang Xianrong said: "The name of the Tiger Hall can't compete with the imperial court, as long as the imperial court wants to get rid of it, it's an easy thing." That tiger master is full of evil, but he has to rely on the protection of the government, which is really ridiculous. ”

"Niangniang, what benefits does the King of Hejian promise that tiger master?" Sima Xuanhua asked.

Yang Xianrong sneered and said: "Presumably he helped the King of Hejian to eradicate the King of Changsha, after the King of Hejian ascended the throne, not only can he be exempted from his past sins, but I will not be surprised at all if he makes a Chang'an order or something." ”

But these words surprised Sima Xuanhua: "Chang'an Order? Such an important position was directly given to a villain? ”

This is the face of these people, for their greed for power, there is no bottom line, Yang Xianrong is despised by these people, but now, she can only find a way to disrupt their plans and keep them away from the power center of Luoyang in one fell swoop.

"Chapter back." Yang Xianrong shouted: "Immediately invite the king of Changsha into the palace, and say that he has something important to see him." ”

Zhang Hui took the order and left, Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua, you look at me, I look at you, I only feel that this room is gloomy, which makes people's scalp tingle. Not long after, Sima Wang, Changsha, arrived at the Xianyang Palace, he was already in the palace to do business, and after getting the message of Yang Xianrong, he immediately rushed here.

After the ceremony, Yang Xianrong told Sima what they had learned and asked him if he had any good countermeasures. Sima was surprised by Yang Xianrong's channels to obtain information, and admired her in his heart, but he felt that he had underestimated her before. On his face, he didn't move, just frowned, and asked, "Are you sure it's the New Year."

Is it? ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head, "They keep this matter very secretive, and I also learned about it by chance, because it is only half a month before the New Year, so I just guess that if they want to do it, there will be people in the palace during the New Year, and it will be too easy for them to mix in a few people." ”

Sima Xuanhua suddenly thought of something, she immediately said: "Since the King of Hejian can use the Tiger Hall, we can also use it, send someone to get in touch with him, let him stop, what request the King of Hejian agreed to him, we also agreed, and even gave him more favorable conditions, after all, it is difficult to say whether the King of Hejian can govern, but the King of Changsha is already the regent of the prince, wouldn't it be more secure to help the King of Changsha?" ”

"No." Sima and Yang Xianrong said in unison.

"Why not?" Sima Xuanhua couldn't understand it.

"That Tiger Hall is a villain who has committed many crimes, and that Tiger Master is a villain who has harmed many people, this king will never cooperate with this kind of person, and it is not a gentleman to be embarrassed." Sima Yizheng said rhetorically, he knew about this person before, and even asked for an order to personally lead people to exterminate him, but at that time, the Tiger Hall was backed by the King of Qi, which could be described as calling for wind and rain, although he was dissatisfied, he had no way, and now let him go to be with such people, he couldn't do it, and even felt that hearing such a proposal was a great offense to him, so he said to Sima Xuanhua dissatisfied: "You are also a royal princess, how can you put forward such conditions, it is really insulting to the emperor." ”

Sima Xuanhua's face was a little unbearable, and she just wanted to defend a few words, but she was held down by Yang Xianrong, she smiled and said to the king of Changsha: "Don't be angry, the third princess has good intentions, but she is still young and not deeply involved in the world, I will talk more about her." ”

When Sima heard this, he hugged his fists at Sima Xuanhua and said apologetically: "It's my uncle who is too impatient, and I ask Xuanhua not to care." ”

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be like this." Sima Xuanhua hurriedly returned the salute.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Xianrong explained to Sima Xuanhua: "Xuanhua, the king of Changsha is unwilling to seek conspiration with the Tiger Hall because he cherishes his reputation, which is one of the reasons why we can't compromise with the Tiger Hall. In addition, if you think about it, you were surprised just now that such an important official position as the Chang'an Order was given to such a wicked person, if we are like the king of Hejian and allow him to be a high-ranking official, then what is the difference between the king of Changsha and the king of Hejian? Everyone knows the crimes of the Tiger Hall, and when the tricks of the King of Hejian are revealed to the world, it is the time when he is criticized and condemned by the world, and in the same way, if we use the Tiger Hall, how can we face the accusations of the people of the world, and how can the King of Changsha stand upright above the court? ”

Yang Xianrong understood the powerful relationship, she immediately got up, gave a big gift to the king of Changsha, and said sincerely: "It's Xuanhua who is ignorant, and it is really a big mistake to make such an unreasonable suggestion, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"That's it." Sima hurriedly said: "I'm also impulsive, and I ask my niece not to blame." ”

"The two of you take turns to apologize, when are you going to go?" Yang Xianrong looked at the two of them with a smile, and both of them were immediately embarrassed, and they all sat down before she said again: "Then, is there any other way?" ”

The king of Changsha thought for a while, and then said: "You continue to inquire about the specific situation through your channels, and I will also send it here."

People closely observe the movements of the Hejian Royal Mansion and the Chengdu Royal Mansion, and strengthen the garrison of the entire Luoyang City, needless to say, the palace will transfer people in again, no matter what, I will definitely find a way to sabotage their plan. ”

"There is one more thing for the prince to pay attention to." Yang Xianrong explained: "I'm afraid that they have arranged people around the prince, please be careful, except for extremely trusted cronies, do not disclose your itinerary to others, so as not to fall into an ambush." ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Sima bowed slightly to the sheep.

After Sima left, Sima Xuanhua asked Yang Xianrong with some confusion: "Niangniang, what is the chance that we can break the conspiracy of the King of Hejian this time?" ”

Yang Xianrong didn't know, did his best, and obeyed the destiny of heaven.

"Niangniang, do you want to invite Feng Guoshi back?" Sima Xuanhua trusted Feng Hang, as long as he came back, everything would not be a problem.

Yang Xianrong also hoped that Feng Hang could come back sooner, but she couldn't rely on her master for everything, so she said: "Master Feng's family is in the East China Sea, and this ancestor worship is a major event in the clan, and I can't stop it, not to mention that the East China Sea is far away, and it is impossible to rush back to the palace before the year anyway." ”

"I remember that when the king of Changsha first came to power, Feng Guoshi reminded him that it must be a hidden danger for the king of Hejian to stay in the capital, and he must either get rid of it quickly or get out of the capital, but the king of Changsha has hesitated so far, which caused today's situation." Sima Xuanhua said: "It can be seen that in today's troubled times, we must have the courage to make a decision." ”

At that time, the king of Changsha had his own concerns, didn't the king of Chu launch a mutiny because he was dissatisfied with being driven back to his fiefdom, but was instead eliminated by Jia Nanfeng with an excuse? The king of Changsha was the half-brother of the king of Chu, and he still remembered the situation at that time, and he was also implicated by the king of Chu and relegated to a remote place, so he knew that these vassal kings wanted to stay in the capital, and once they were forced to return to the domain, they might cause some trouble.

Besides, it doesn't mean that these times are coming, the New Year is approaching, and they still have a lot of preparations to do. Yang Xianrong has made up his mind to secretly send Nian'er back to Yangfu first, and if everything goes well, he will pick her up again, but once they go wrong, at least Nian'er can survive.

"Then, what about Qin Er" Sima Xuanhua asked: "He is also a child, how can we hide him?" ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head: "He can't hide it, because he is the crown prince." ”

Once the king of Chengdu is established as the prince, there will be no more Sima Qin's position in the East Palace, and at that time, Sima Tan may be killed because of his special status, but if Yang Xianrong sends Sima Qin out, no matter where he is sent, he will not be able to escape the fate of being hunted down in his life, rather than this, it is better to keep him in the East Palace, perhaps for the sake of him being a child and not threatening, they will send him to Kim Yong Cheng Pass for a lifetime, which is much better than being out of exile.

Sima Xuanhua patted Xiao Ji irritably, she really liked Sima Tan's child, and she couldn't bear to suffer bad luck in his life because of being an inexplicable crown prince. "Niangniang," Sima Xuanhua said to the sheep in an almost pleading tone: "No matter what, please ask Niangniang to protect Sima Tan's life." ”

Yang Xianrong nodded solemnly and said, "I will do my best." ”
