This is Yang Yan's strategy, not only to let Emperor Li Shi issue an edict to conquer the camp in Anxi, but also to take the opportunity to expelle Cui Ning from the court, and ask him to give up the position of the imperial historian and let himself live in the same party.

"The old man has only been in charge of the Imperial Doctor for two months, and he is going to be thrown out by you?" Cui Ning remembered at this time that Yang Yan had promised his son-in-law Gao Yue that as long as he implemented the Pingliang city building plan, he would promise Gao Lang a series of official positions and how to make the position, but in a blink of an eye, he recommended his confidant Li Zhou.

This Yang Yan also showed favor to himself through Gao Yue before, but once he suggested that the emperor ascend to Hezhong Mansion as the central capital, he was immediately abandoned by Yang Yan, and the other party still wanted him to be the imperial doctor.

"Yang Yan'er, he didn't believe his words, and he went back on his word." Cui Ning scolded resentfully in his heart.

If it was in the past, Cui Ning would definitely turn his face with Yang Yan on the spot, regardless of whether it was in Zichen Hall or not.

But at this time, it was different from the past, and the virtuous son-in-law Gao Lang specially warned himself before, "If Yang Yan covets his father's imperial historian and takes action, his father might as well endure it in the front and strike later." ”

So at this time, Cui Ning just lightly picked up the wat board and said to the emperor, "Since Yang Menlang asked the minister to go out of Zhenfang Prefecture to supervise the transportation of grain and grass and recruit soldiers, then the minister can resign from the imperial doctor." ”

Hearing this, when Yang Yan was secretly proud, he heard the emperor suddenly say:

"Dr. Cui doesn't have to resign from the Imperial Doctor, and after leaving the town, Xiantai will be temporarily in charge of Zhongcheng Lu Qi."

"Your Majesty......" When Yang Yan was just about to say that Rong Chen could not concurrently serve as the imperial historian (except for the title of school inspector), Li Shi looked at him and said coldly, "Yang Qing doesn't need to say anything, after Doctor Cui leaves the court, if one Zhongcheng is not enough, you can let the miscellaneous servants in the Taiwan Academy (Imperial History Academy) act as another Zhongcheng." ”

The reason why Li Shi is like this is also because he senses that Yang Yan's greed for power is too great.

Previously, after Qiao Lin left office, when the new imperial lady was elected, Liu Yan, Cui Youfu and other courtiers all elected Cui Ning, and Cui Ning's performance during this period was not bad, not only did his best for his father's funeral, but also took the initiative to demolish the Changle Po Yuetang, which met the emperor's expectations.

But Yang Yan was a little disappointed and even uneasy for Li Shi: He just wants the position of Imperial Doctor so much? Not to mention the big promotion of Zhao Huibo before, now Cui Youfu can't look at things, and he himself is a servant, if I give up the imperial doctor to Yang Yan and his party, won't I be controlled by others?

But Yang Yan was impulsive, and he still said more, "Your Majesty, according to the old example......"

Li Shi suddenly interrupted him, "According to the old practice, the candidates for the constitutional division are all in the hands of the Imperial Historian, and the Imperial Historian is directly appointed by the Son of Heaven, and he is not a subordinate of the Zhongshu Sect. (You can shut up)

At this time, Yang Yan was suddenly embarrassed in place, and could only shut up in embarrassment and stop talking.

At this time, Zhu Jun's seal was also sent in, and he made every effort to say good things for the soldiers of the Anxi camp, and suggested that the policy of Huairou be adopted, and the emperor and the ministers consulted, and the preliminary agreed strategy was:

asked the Anxi camp to send someone to negotiate the conditions with the imperial court and explain the mutiny clearly;

Zhu Zhu and Li Huaiguang led the army to besiege Jingzhou City, and Huairou and tough methods coexisted;

Let Li Zhou, the envoy of the Yuanzhou camp recommended by Yang Yan, enter Jingzhou City alone and tell the soldiers of the Anxi camp to try not to let the situation worsen.

After the performance was completed, in front of the smooth door outside the Zichen Palace, several deacons walked silently, although there were no words, but everyone understood that now the court has focused on all the contradictions because of the two things of Liang Chongyi and Anxi Xingying, like the peak of boiling fire.

"I didn't expect that Cui Ning was about to leave Zhenfangzhou, and he could still serve as the imperial doctor......" After nightfall, Yang Yan summoned a group of henchmen in the mansion, and he was furious.

"Now Cui Ning's matter will be put aside for the time being! What should I do about Liu Yan? "Jingzhao Shaoyin Lu Xuan is more anxious than Yang Yan, he thinks that Yang Yan is a little bit of a priority now.

Hearing Lu Hang's suggestion, Yang Yan also came back to his senses a little, yes, the primary goal now is to defeat Liu Yan, as long as it is realized, he will be able to grasp the world's financial rights, and the contradiction between the candidates of the imperial doctor can be put back for the time being.

"Tell Han Youshen (Hui) and Du Junqing (You) to prepare as soon as possible, and let Liu Yan hand over the account books he received when he was a transfer envoy to the Ministry of Accounts, Finance, and Warehouse for review, catch his mistakes, and put him to death." After Yang Yan finished speaking, his fists clenched.

In Shengping Fang, Gao Yue was dressed in a green shirt, and after settling his pregnant wife to sleep, he came to the small pavilion in the East Hall, where he said to his father-in-law Cui Ning and Lu Qi, who came to visit secretly:

"Yang Yan tried to exclude his father today, but he couldn't, I'm afraid he is going to attack Liu Yan!"

Under the flickering branch lamp, Gao Yue continued to add: "Liu Yan must be saved, if Yang Yan is allowed to achieve his will this time, we will all die without a place to bury us in the next step." ”

"But if it is as Gao Lang expected, and now that the Jin Department and the Cangbu are in the hands of Yang Yan's henchmen, it is easy to fabricate Liu Yan's crime, if the Holy Lord is allowing, won't we go to our own death?" Cui Ning is still worried.

And Lu Qi was also full of thoughts, and he was silent: he completely turned his face against Yang Yan and went to protect Liu Yan, he was not fully psychologically prepared - is this deal worth it or not?

But Gao Yue's next sentence is: "Father, you will immediately become the governor of Fang and Lingzhou, and you can recommend Lu Zhongcheng to the Holy Lord to take over as the imperial doctor." ”

"Yi Song, what are these words, Liu Shi'an has been in charge of power for 20 years, saving me Tang from fire and water, how can he let this loyal minister be framed by such a small thing as Yang Yan? Is a servant a man of false name? Lu Qi immediately resigned solemnly.

Gao Yue nodded, and then he held out a scroll in front of Cui Ning and Lu Qi's eyes, and when it was unfolded, it turned out to be a sub-map.

This map clearly marked the festival envoys, observation envoys, and assassin histories in various places, and then Gao Yue raised his eyes, looked at these two eyes, stretched out his finger to Huainan, and then pointed to the Ziqing region in the east, and then said:

"Huainan Festival Envoy, Chen Shaoyou; Ziqing Festival envoy, Li Zhengji. It is our killer weapon to counter Yang Yan. ”

"Chen Shaoyou, Li Zhengji?"

"That's right." Gao Yue said in a low voice, "Li Zhengji has always been friendly with Liu Yan, and regarding his side, Prime Minister Liu has sent someone to negotiate. And we specialize in Chen Shaoyou. ”

At this time, Cui Ning and Lu Qi remembered, "What did Gao Lang say, what happened between Chen Shaoyou and Yuan Zai?" ”

"Yes - Chen Shaoyou was in the Emperor Daizong Dynasty, and successively went out of the town as the Xuanshe Observation Envoy, the Eastern Zhejiang Observation Envoy, and then the Huainan Jiedu Envoy to the present, all the three feudatories are rich lands, why is this so? Originally, the imperial court first arranged for him to be the Guiguan Observation Envoy (the seat of governance is now Guilin, Guangxi), but Chen Shaoyou was reluctant to go away, so he spent a lot of money to bribe Yuan Zai and Zhongguan Dong Xiu, and bribed Yuan Zai's second son Yuan Zhongwu (Yuan Zai's youngest son, Yuan Jineng, was Gao Yue's earliest acquaintance, and was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion on the first day of meeting, and was later executed by Daizong), so he was able to be reappointed as the Xuanshu Observer. But in the end, Chen Shaoyou formed a blood feud with the Yuan Zai family, presumably now that he is in Yangzhou, the worry in his heart is probably worse than others. ”
