Lu Qi went to find Guo Ziyi, in addition to patting the horse, he also hoped to use Guo Ziyi's prestige to reach an agreement with the old faction of Shuofang, so that it would be convenient for Cui Ning to break the situation in the north.

"Lu Qi is ugly and ruthless, whether it is out of the overall situation or for personal gain, I might as well promise him." So Guo Ziyi agreed and wrote to Du Xiquan, Dai Xiuyan and others, asking them not to embarrass their boss Cui Ning.

Du Xiquan and Dai Xiuyan are Guo's old subordinates, after getting the letter from Shang's father, they all bowed and worshipped, and even played the emperor twice, saying, "The festival envoy was not in the town before setting up the queen, and now Cui Dadu Governor has been out of the north of the town, and it is not appropriate to set up a queen." ”

After Du and Dai presented their resignations, Zhang Guangsheng and Li Jianhui were also embarrassed, and after a little hesitation, they also sent their resignations.

The emperor also agreed, and the positions of the assassins and military envoys of this group of people remained unchanged, and the three "post-rear" were revoked, and the northern town was handed over to Cui Ning from now on.

Lu Qi won the first battle, and then corresponded with Jingzhao Yin Yanying many times, and the two seemed to be in an alliance.

And Yan Ying also began to be enemies of Yang Yan because of the dispute over Mintun and the subsequent accusation.

Yang Yan collapsed in the house, calculating a bloody account:

It has only been less than a year since he returned to the dynasty to become the prime minister, from the initial smooth sailing to the current step-by-step, it is really like in a dream.

He implemented the two tax laws, hoping to replace his own people in the rich land, but he turned his head with Chen Shaoyou in Huainan and Li Zhengji in Ziqing;

He used Du Feng into the Chongwen Pavilion as bait, wanting to lure Liu Yan and his party, and then annihilate it with his backhand, but Liu Yan and Ling Huxiang were not fooled and let him pounce;

He asked for money to be put into the Zuozang treasury, and abolished the degree branch and the second envoy, originally wanted to provoke Liu Yan's resistance, and took the opportunity to kill it by the hand of the emperor, but Liu Yan took the initiative to give up all the rights, and now a "flash" ran to Guiguan to be a strategic envoy, and let him fail;

He originally wanted to recommend himself as the imperial historian and dictate the government, but the emperor led Lu Qi and restrained himself everywhere;

He excluded Cui Ning and Zhu Zhu, but now it seems that it has completely reversed, and now Cui Ning sits alone in northern Xinjiang, and Zhu Zhu is in the three towns of Longyou, Fengxiang and Jingyuan, and his power and prestige are better than before.

Why? Why!

Yang Yan's mood was mixed and crazy, he felt as if there were a pair of black hands in the dark, as if he knew everything, he could always guess his layout, and all his hard work was easily destroyed.

"Could it be, could it be that it's really him......" Yang Yan lay on the rope bed, and the fingers that were originally covering his eyes slowly slid down.

At this time, he opened his eyes and saw the old slave He Bo standing behind the curtains.

He Bo has served his family for decades, and has been the most trusted person in the family since his father Yang Boshi.

Previously, Yang Yan was demoted to Daozhou Sima, and when Gao Yue came to say goodbye, the one who led the horse for Gao Yue when he returned later was Uncle He.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Uncle He, Yang Yan naturally remembered Gao Yue.

"Fu Jun......" He Bo said.

Yang Yan agreed, got up from the rope bed, and asked Uncle He if there was anything wrong.

He Bo hung his hands, as if he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, but finally said it, "You must be careful, the young man (Yang Hongye) was at home almost every day, it was too conspicuous!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but be shocked, his energy had always been in the political affairs hall before, and he almost ignored his family.

Soon Yang Yan's awakening turned to anger, and his fists clenched tightly, "This shaft!" He was determined to teach his wife and children a good lesson soon.

Then Uncle He whispered again: "The old slave still has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Well, it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Fujun, you beat me when you were young, I will be by your side, I know that Fujun, you sometimes hold too much grudges, but you don't remember your gratitude, so I am afraid that you will make too many enemies."

Hearing Uncle He's words, Yang Yan's heart was filled with unhappiness.

But Uncle Ho then counted them—he gave three men.

Cui Qing, Huo Zhongtang, and Gao Yue.

Yang Yan's anger surged, and he wanted to explain it to Uncle He, but Cui Qing and Huo Zhongtang didn't say anything at all, only Gao Yue, "I recommended Li Zhou because Gao Yue's age and qualifications don't match." ”

"But Gao Yue is Cui Ning's son-in-law! The opportunity to join forces with Cui Ning was originally taken away from the hands of Fu Jun. ”

"Uncle He likes Gao Saburo very much?"

"No, no, it's just that I once led the second horse for Gao Sanlang, and it was during that time that Saburo passed by Changle Po Yuetang and saw the fifth little lady of Cui Ning's family for the first time, and now they are actually married, isn't it fate? Gao Saburo is by no means an ordinary young man, and the prince of the government cannot take it lightly. ”

This made Yang Yan even more annoyed and angry, but Uncle He said again: "Does Fu Jun still remember how he did to Shenwu Ling Li Dajian when he was young? ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but think of the past, it was the second year of Suzong Zhide (757), he was still studying in Hexi, a rebellion had just broken out in Hexi, the original Jiedu envoy was killed, after the rebellion was quelled, the imperial court sent Du Hong, a military servant, gradually entered Hexi as the new Jiedu envoy, because Du Hong gradually appreciated his literary name, and directly hired him as the secretary of the shogunate.

Yang Yan once gained power, and what he did was the same as now, because Li Dajian, the commander of Shenwu County, Liangzhou, had insulted himself for being drunk, Yang Yan called Li Dajian, let Li be tied left and right, and beat him with an iron rod for two hundred times, Li Dajian was bleeding all over the ground, lying on the ground curled up and moaning - Yang Yan can clearly remember his reaction at that time, hurry, hurry, joy!

"Yong slave, now that your teeth are gone, can you scold me again!" Yang Yan smiled, and didn't forget to stomp on the half-dead Li Dajian with his boots a few times.

Afterwards, Du Hong gradually shielded Yang Yan, and did not care at all about this kind of outrageous behavior of retribution to colleagues.

The reward that Du got was that when he left Hexi and went to Jingnan as the envoy of the festival, Yang Yan wrote the merit tablet "Hexi Jiedu Envoy Du Gong Monument", which praised Du:

"It also comes from hills like nothing; It goes, and the wind and rain can be cherished. ”

More than 20 years have passed, since the moment the iron rod hit Li Dajian's face, the inner demon has taken root in Yang Yan's body and has never left.

At this time, he would not listen to Uncle He's words, but this did not mean that he did not take Gao Yue in his eyes.

He needs to use Xue Yaoying as an intermediary to talk to Gao Yue again in Hongshao Xiaoting, hoping to shake hands with this young man and Cui Ning for the second time, and now he wants to suppress the unstoppable Lu Qi - he can promise Gao Yue some more benefits, and this time he will really give him a good time.

As for Uncle He, he has been in my family for so many years, and he actually treats his master like this, and one day he finds a fault and asks his wife to send him out.

Three days later, Zhi Hui, who was sent by Xue Lianshi, stood in front of the Aconitum Gate of Cui's Mansion in Shengpingfang, and Gao Yue stood on the steps and said to Zhi Hui very politely and loudly:

"Taishan is a minister in the north, and the third year of high school himself lives in Beijing as a palace servant, and he can't have a private conversation with the court deacons."

After speaking, Gao Yue nodded to Zhi Hui, and everything was in a word, and he turned to the door.

The aconite gate slowly closed, representing Gao Yue's categorical rejection of Yang Yan.
