Yang Yan's words really made Li Shi change color, or he poked at the heart of the newly enthroned emperor.
has been walking on thin ice in the position of the crown prince for so many years, as a senior prisoner in the Shaoyang Courtyard, Li Shi is extremely worried all the time, his eyes are on his own safety, and on the other hand, he has to keep an eye on the golden throne in the Xuanzheng Palace. In these long and difficult years, he is constantly looking for talents who can be used for himself, and he is constantly setting up potential enemies, and he has heard a lot of ills during his father's reign: eunuchs, appeasement of feudal towns, connivance and indulgence, excessive rewards, etc., he now hopes to have a large number of loyal ministers and talents, and sweep away these chronic diseases that have entangled the dynasty for a long time overnight, and return me to a clear and clear sky!
As everyone knows, this kind of thinking also makes his personality suspicious and anxious, but Li Shi himself can't detect it.
Because he admires Gao Yue, he can't wait to marry his beloved daughter Xuanshu to the other party; But because of Yang Yan's words of unknown origin, he was suspicious of Liu Yan.
Because Li Shi grew up without a mother, he could only rely on himself, for King Han, who has been favored by his parents since he was a child, in addition to being afraid, he also has a kind of jealousy, "Why is Liu Yan helping him ......"
This thought is like a seed planted in his heart at this time, and in time, it will inevitably sprout like a poisonous snake's teeth!
And Yang Yan was still there without stopping, and continued: "Ziqing Li Zhengji, Li Na father and son, Wei Bo Tian Yue, Huaixi Li Xilie, Xichuan Cui Ning, all have a thick relationship with Liu Yan in Fang Town, Liu Yan has been enshrined in his realm without disadvantage, and Liu Yan is better than the envoy of the Son of Heaven. Your Majesty is lenient, only knowing that Jian can get the peace of the society except for Li Gan and Huo Zhongyi, don't you know that the greater disaster is outside the imperial court, if Liu Yan is left to be appeased, he only needs a letter from him to instigate the rebellion connected to the prefecture and county, and it is my Tang country's capital that is shaken! ”
As mentioned earlier, Liu Yan and King Han were connected, and this sentence involved Liu Yan and Fang Zhen.
"Yang Qing, there is no need to talk about this matter again." Li Shi couldn't stand it and directly asked to change the topic.
And Cui Youfu over there also-for-tat, struggling to justify: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing is really unnecessary, Liu Yan served the four generations of holy masters, and he is a meritorious hero of the country. Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne and reigned over all nations, you should no longer seek such vain words. ”
"Cui Zhonglang." Yang Yan was just about to argue, but Cui Youfu had already persuaded him emotionally: "Since Yang Menlang has been slaughtered by the state and is in charge of the public weapon, he should not do such a thing of determination and revenge." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Youfu coughed violently, and actually coughed up gray-red blood, and then the emperor and Yang Yan also panicked, and hurriedly asked the eunuch temple next to him to help Cui Youfu up, "Quickly send Cui Qing back to the house, and send the Shang Pharmacy Imperial Feng to go for treatment!" ”
When Cui Youfu was carried into the sedan chair, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he also held the hand of Yang Yan, who came to see him off, "Gongnan, Gongnan, listen to my brother, don't hold personal grudges anymore...... Now it is possible to move Chang Yifu (常顮) to live as a good official to show that the court is open...... As ministers, you and I must regulate the hundred divisions, assist the sage, treat others with kindness, and return to a peaceful and prosperous world in the world...... If the public weapon is used for private use, otherwise it will be destroyed in the future, but Gongnan himself. ”
Yang Yan promised again and again.
After nightfall, in the mansion of Yang Yan of Daozheng Fang, Yu Zhun, who had just replaced Bai Xiuqi, the envoy of the Shence Army, took over as Si Nongqing, and Shen Jiji, a scholar who had just returned from Jixian Academy, (that is, the one who wrote Huangliang Yimeng's "Pillow Notes"), and Lu Hua, the former Baqiao post chief who had just been promoted to the head of Zhongshu, were all surrounded by Yang Yan.
Yang Yan's eyes were like fire, hatred stuffed his chest, it was obvious that Cui Youfu's painstaking admonition, he actually ignored it completely, but said to Yu Zhun: "You can go up and move Chang Gon to the Fujian Observation Envoy, Chang Gon must be grateful to me, so I can contact Zhang She, a Hanlin scholar who is kind to Chang Gon, and what he said is the most obedient." ”
Yu Zhun originally relied on sycophants Yuan Zai and Wang Jin to soar to the top, and Yuan Zai was also degraded after being killed. Now that Yang Yan is still in power, he immediately returned to Beijing from the degraded office to become his boss Nongqing, and he naturally obeyed Yang Yan's words, and then Yang Yan instructed him: "In addition, let Han Yan go to Suzhou as the assassin of the history, take Han Huan as the head of the household, mix the sand transferred by Liu Yan to the southeast, and catch his mistakes." ”
Then Yang Yan said to Zhang Zhu again: "You can go out to Hunan to redress the unjust case of Cao Wang Li Gao, the Holy Lord is now trying to revive the prestige of the sect, and you can just do what he likes." ”
Yang Yan instructed Shen Jiji and Lu Hua again: "You two can arrange for the performance, please Your Majesty arrange envoys to search for the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager (Wuxing Shen) in the eastern capital Luoyang." ”
"I'm afraid the queen mother has already ......," Lu Hua was a little suspicious.
But Shen Jiji told the truth, "It is secondary to find it, the key is to comfort the Holy Lord." ”
After the arrangement was completed, everyone retired one after another, only Lu Hua remained in place, and quietly asked Yang Yandao, who was weaving a dense net with his hands behind his back: "Yang Zhonglang, that Cui Qing Cui Eighteen of Baqiaoyi?" ”
It turned out that Cui Qing had come to Lu Hua before, which meant that the family was a little tight now, and Yang Menlang had promised him a foreign official to do, whether it could be fulfilled.
"Hmm." Yang Yan looked at his screen and responded lightly, and he didn't know if he was going to his heart.
Then Lu Hua asked Yang Yan cautiously: "There is also the chamberlain Huo Zhongtang, who is from Daozhou, and his family has taken care of your ...... in Daozhou."
"Hmm." Yang Yan was still distracted, and he still answered this way.
Lu Hua shook his head, sighed secretly, and retreated.
And the next day, the Shence camp triumphantly marched to the capital, along the Bashui to the Guangtai Gate, the people and spectators were blocked, the cheers were thunderous, and the soldiers of the forbidden army were all arrogant. Gao Yue stopped at Baqiao Station, and when he got off the horse, he warmly greeted Cui Qing, the post chief who came to greet him, "Eighteen brothers, don't come unharmed." ”
"San Lang, it's hard for you to remember me."
As soon as Gao Yue heard what Cui Qing said, he stuffed him with a horseshoe gold, "Eighteen brothers don't have to say it outside, please arrange a feast, I want to use the post hall to meet guests." ”
Encountering the heavy horseshoe gold, Cui Qing was a little frightened, and even said that it was too valuable.
Gao Yue thought to himself, "Anyway, this is the money my father-in-law gave me", but he said that I know that the eighteenth brother's family has more than ten people, and they all have to eat and dress, and running this post station is really bleak, and I hope not to shirk my gift.
Soon, a banquet was held in the secluded hall at the post station, and those who were invited were actually Tan Zhizhong, the envoy of the Military Academy, and Huo Zhongtang, the deputy envoy, and Cui Qing served on the side.
As for Li Sheng and Qu Huan, who commanded the army, they all went to Guangtaimen and took the soldiers of the Shence camp to receive the reward.
During the banquet, Gao Yue calmly asked the elder Tan Zhizhong and the young Huo Zhongtang, "The two envoys, how many people are in the family, and how much do you spend every day?" ”
