"Yang Zhen, Ben Hou asked you, you don't know what happened in Yanmen Pass in mid-March last year, and how much do you know?" Chen Xu's face slowly became serious.

"Yang Zhen, you have to answer this matter well, this time I went to investigate the Yanmen Pass on the order of the Hou Ye, many of which I have already investigated, Ma Teng's burning of the inkstone is just to cover people's eyes and ears, the last time you were drunk in Quyuan, you said that many powerful businessmen in Zhao Di secretly raised funds to build blades and prepared to rebel, is it true?" Li Gui sat next to him and scolded in a low voice.

"Huh?!" Yang Zhen's relaxed mood instantly felt like he was being poured down by a bucket of ice water, and a wave of fear suddenly cooled from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and even the chrysanthemums tightened all of a sudden.

After Chen Xu asked, he stopped talking, Li Gui also sat next to him with a mask like a killing god, Yang Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, he couldn't remember what happened after he got drunk that time, but he really knew some of the things that Li Gui asked, because these things were not secret among some heroes in Zhao Di, but outsiders and people didn't know, but at this time, when they were exposed in person, Yang Zhen felt a sense of despair that a catastrophe was coming.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, we ...... We didn't participate in the rebellion, but we heard a few seniors secretly talk about it at a banquet, and we really heard only a few words, and we couldn't take it seriously! ”

Yang Zhen knelt on the ground in front of Chen Xu and begged for mercy with a puff after being stunned for a long time, his face was pale and sweating like pulp, and his back was soaked in an instant.

"Get up and speak, since Yang Gong is still alive, even if someone in Zhao Di wants to gather people to rebel and want to come to your Yang family, he will definitely not participate, and Ben Hou doesn't want to care about these things, but I heard that the Marquis of Wucheng Wang Li commanded the soldiers to destroy the Jingbian Temple, which aroused the anger of the people in Yanmen, and now there are dozens of dead and hundreds of injuries, Ben Hou is the left minister of Daqin, and he can't ignore this matter, so he arranged for Ma Teng and others to go to Yanmen in disguise to investigate, since you know the inside story, don't hide it, and tell you what you know in detail, Ben Hou will naturally judge and dispose of it, your Yang clan did not participate in the rebellion, don't be nervous! ”

Chen Xu said this, Yang Zhen felt that his soul was slowly returning to his body, his hands were soft and his feet were soft several times before he got up, and then sat on the chair and gasped hard, and after a long time, he trembled and began to tell all the news he knew about the Yanmen Pass incident.

Half an hour later, Yang Zhen finally finished pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"Hou Ye, what he said is true, he will never dare to deceive him, this matter has already been boiling in Taiyuan and Yanmen counties, Wucheng Hou connived at the soldiers to destroy Jingbian Temple, bad statue of General Li Mu, and local officials colluded with each other to suppress the people, most of the people who were caught and killed were local heroes and celebrities, my Yang family, as a local family, was also deeply trapped in it and could not escape from innocence, if it weren't for the money and accommodation at home, otherwise two clan uncles would be killed...... Master Hou, as the left minister of Great Qin and a disciple of the Immortal Family, can you make decisions for the people of my Zhao Kingdom......"

Now that he had said it all, Yang Chong's mood at this time was actually calm, although he didn't know why Chen Xu was secretly investigating this matter, but listening to the tone was not looking for trouble, so his courage to speak gradually increased.

"Now that Great Qin dominates the world, how can Zhao come from?" Chen Xu's brows furrowed slightly, while Yang Zhen almost collapsed in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Hou forgives the sin, he really doesn't choose what he says, but the people of Yanmen and I really didn't think of the rebellion, they were all forced by the Marquis of Wucheng!" ”

"Well, the Marquis of Wucheng did make a big mistake in this matter, since Ben Hou knows it, he can't ignore it, but if you want to be the master of the people of Zhao Land, I can't rely on me alone, I have asked many ministers in private about this matter, no one wants to offend the Marquis of Tongwu and the Marquis of Wucheng, I heard that the men in the land of Yan and Zhao are all heroes and heroes, Yang Zhen, Ben Hou asked you, do you dare to meet the emperor with Ben Hou in the court, and tell this matter as it is......"

"Huh?!" Yang Zhen shuddered so much that he almost slipped from his chair and fell to the ground.

"Do you know why Ben Hou secretly sent someone to investigate the matter of Yanmen? That's because now the letters to and from Yanmen are closely controlled and monitored by local officials, and the matter of Yanmen cannot be transmitted to Xianyang at all, and the people know almost nothing about this matter, and you also know the family history of the Marquis of Wucheng, a family of three Wuhou, the merits of sweeping the world are unparalleled, if you want to move him, you must be fully prepared, forcing Your Majesty to have to take action......"

"Persecuting the Emperor...... The emperor ......, "Yang Zhen's teeth can't stop."

"Yes, only in this way can this matter finally be revealed to the world, without enough pressure, it is impossible for Your Majesty to punish the Marquis of Wucheng, and those dead and injured people will not be able to redress their grievances, if you continue to delay, those powerful businessmen in your mouth can't help but rebel in the end, which will inevitably attract Your Majesty's thunderous anger, under the crushing of hundreds of thousands of troops, a trace of vitality that you Zhao Di has finally recovered will inevitably be crushed into ashes, and hundreds of millions of people have suffered from the disaster of swords and soldiers, so they want to save their compatriots in Zhaodi, You have to stand up bravely, otherwise Ben Hou can't do anything if he wants to help you, although Ben Hou is a disciple of the Immortal Family, but after all, it is difficult to support himself in the court......

"Master Hou, are you really willing to help us fight against the Marquis of Wucheng?" Yang Zhen stood up tremblingly.

"Zhao Guo is gone, any resistance is just in vain, in the end it is just a lot of dead people, Ben Hou can't bear to see Zhao Di's lives ruined, you should know the strength of Wucheng Hou, he not only controls 40,000 elite horsemen in the northwest, but also has the trust of the First Emperor, without enough strength and reason to be able to shake him, Ben Hou wants to help you, but you also need your own efforts, once you rebel, it is a dead end, Ben Hou will not be able to save you at that time!"

"If the husband dies, he will die, Hou ...... Master Hou, what do you say I should do? Yang Zhen hesitated for a long time and then gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Tomorrow, the Japanese Hou will mention this matter in the DPRK, and when the time comes, you will be announced to enter the DPRK and tell all the causes and consequences of this matter, remember, you have to say that this matter is the ...... that Yang Tong specially asked you to come to Xianyang to find me."

Chen Xu carefully told Yang Zhen, and after knowing that Yang Zhen remembered everything, he asked Li Gui to take Yang Zhen out to wash and rest.

Although Yang Tong is no longer in the court, after all, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is still among the original Jiuqing, and his status is not trivial.

Although the Wang family is powerful and has the trust of the emperor, not all the people in this era are afraid of power, especially those doctors, who are forced to even dare to scold the emperor.

Suddenly, another day passed, and after a night of howling cold winds, a heavy snow began to fall.

At dawn, as the bell rang in the middle of the day, the four gates of Xianyang City were opened, and countless people waiting in line were inspected by the soldiers to enter and exit the city gate as usual.

Many restaurants and breakfast stalls on the roadside have also begun to get busy, buses and horse-drawn carriages have been shuttling through the streets and alleys in the jingling bells, newspaper boys are also carrying satchels and shouting to sell newspapers, and many officials have also washed up, eaten and drunk, and taken carriages and horses to go to the court and the Shangchao.

Everything in Xianyang is not much different from the past, just one more winter snow.

A four-wheeled carriage roared in from the west gate of the city under the reprimand of the coachman, dozens of tiger-backed bears and leather armor guards hugged each other, the forbidden army guarding the gate did not have any inspection and hurriedly saluted and let go, and the carriage went straight to the main hall of Xianyang Palace along the Ximen Avenue covered with more than an inch of thick snow.

In the heavy snow, on the square in front of the main hall of the court, hundreds of civil and military officials came by car one after another as usual, and all kinds of carriages stopped in the parking area marked by the line, and after greeting each other, they walked into the hall in a low voice in pairs and threes.

Chen Xu got out of the carriage, followed by a young man with a slightly heroic temperament but a pale face, many officials were amazed, and kept looking up and down at this young man with a strange appearance and a slight swing.

"Don't be nervous!" Chen Xu smiled and patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, and said to a group of officials watching around: "After introducing a Jiuqing to you today!" ”

"After Jiuqing...... a group of officials were stunned for a moment, and many people's attitudes towards Yang Zhen instantly softened a lot.

"This dignified Lang Jun is the descendant of Yang Tong Yang Gong, the former lieutenant of Lang Zhongling, named Yang Zhen."

A group of officials suddenly realized, and some officials also bowed to Yang Zhen: "It turned out to be a descendant of Yang Gong, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Yang Zhen has seen all the adults and seniors!" Yang Zhen hurriedly returned the salute, feeling even more apprehensive and helpless, feeling that the group of people in front of him was like a group of fierce tigers around him, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.

Everything has been arranged by Chen Xu today, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, their Yang family has been tied to Chen Xu, and Chen Xu wants to use his mouth to use Yang Tong Jiuqing and the identity of the elders of the Three Dynasties to completely light up the matter of Yanmen Pass from the darkness, so that the people of the world can understand this conflict, so as to promote his own purpose of reforming the Great Qin army.

Yang Zhen doesn't know what the future will be, but he dares not to cooperate, it is estimated that Chen Xu will be the first to take the Yang family, with Chen Xu's current status in the rivers and lakes and the court, it is easy to get a Jiuqing who has resigned and gone home to retire, Yang Zhenxing rushed to Xianyang to tie up Chen Xu, but he didn't expect to give him a big easter egg when he met, and a bucket of cold water poured him into hell.

If the structure and management of the army cannot be more refined, the soldiers are still like the emperor's private soldiers without too many national concepts, and the soldiers are only for the goals of officials and rewards, then this kind of army will have problems sooner or later, not to mention that Wang Li, who basically learns the art of war but relies on the ancestors to protect the superior sons and daughters to control the army, the military will only be more sluggish in the future, and the emperor will ignore this kind of thing in Yanmen Pass. The confrontation between the people and the imperial court will only become more and more intense, and the grievances will become deeper and deeper.

Thousands of miles of embankments were destroyed in anthills, and volcanoes were accumulated to the point where they could not be concealed before erupting.

Yang Zhen followed behind Chen Xu, surrounded by a large group of officials while asking about the situation of Yang Tong, who had returned to his hometown to retire, and Yang Zhen replied, looking at the gate of the majestic court hall getting closer and closer step by step, his heart became more and more worried, as if this was a ghost gate, and once he stepped in, he would be doomed.

Because as long as he speaks, he will offend the top nobleman of Great Qin, the Wang family.

Yang Zhen took a step by step, walking like a devil, tremblingly looking at the back of the young man in front of him who was talking and laughing, and his bitter heart slowly calmed down.

Stretching out his head and shrinking his head is also a knife, offending the Marquis of Qinghe, it is estimated that it is more terrible than offending the Wang family, and now he has come to this point, except for Kai Yi without hesitation, he can no longer find another way to go.

The Yang family, or the old grandfather Yang Tong of his own family, has become the first shield of the Qinghe Marquis against the Wang family.

It doesn't matter if you can block it or not, the main thing is that you must have such a thing in your hand to make this battle seem more formal.

The cultural relics of the hundred officials took off their shoes and went to the hall, and each found his own place to sit down.

Yang Zhen was left at the door of the court hall, Chen Xu didn't take off his shoes Shi Ran walked into the majestic hall, and the officials who had already sat down were all secretly pondering or bowing their heads and whispering, guessing the purpose of Qinghe Hou bringing Yang Tong's grandson to the court today.
