Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan, when the two were summoned to the court, they collided outside the Donghua Gate under construction.

Xiang Min is only forty years old, and Wang Dan is still young.

After Wang Dan saw Xiang Minzhong, he took the initiative to give up his hand and said, "Brother Chang, do you know what is important for the three Zaifu to summon the two of us?" ”

Xiang Minzhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, it's just that now that the court is in turmoil, I am afraid that something big will happen when I see you and me alone at this moment." ”

"Big deal?"

Wang Dan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I finally have the opportunity for you and me to show our ambitions." ”

Wang Dan is young and from an official family, so he has a high spirit.

Always thinking about the strong master and the ancestor.

He was glad to have a chance to climb up.

Xiang Minzhong was also driven by Wang Dan's excited emotions, and he was also a little eager to try.

The two of them entered the vertical arch hall, and instantly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The second prince looked at them with complicated eyes.

The eyes of Li Fang and the others were full of pity.

After the salute.

The second prince stood up solemnly, "Two Aiqing, there is an important matter in this palace that I will leave to you." ”

Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement.

"Your Highness, please."

The second prince looked at the two of them and said, "This palace wants to invite the two of them to sneak into the northwest and wait for an opportunity to seek a high position under Yang Yanhe. When the imperial court recovers the four northwestern provinces. The palace should celebrate the two loves. ”

"This ......"

Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan were stunned.

Going to the Northwest?

Go to serve under Yang Yansi, and still wait for an opportunity to seek a high position?

What is this?

Senior spy?

In an instant, the ambitions of the two men were gone.

racking his brains to think about how to shirk this matter.

"Your Highness, the minister has typhoid fever and went to the northwest, but I am afraid that I will not live long. But if His Royal Highness must let the minister go, the minister will never give up. ”

Xiang Minzhong said righteously.

Implication.

I was sick, and if I went to the northwest, I would die.

If you ask me to go, I'll go.

But, I'm going to be driven to death by you.

You can do it!

Wang Dan, who was in sympathy with the same disease, had to give a thumbs up to Xiang Minzhong.

It's a beautiful excuse.

"Ahem......"

Wang Dan coughed dryly, and opened his mouth to say that he was also sick, but in order to block the mouth of the second prince, he changed people.

"Your Highness, my father is riddled with serious diseases, and my mother is unable to move. The minister was supposed to be filial piety by the side of the second elder. However, if His Royal Highness must let the minister go, the minister will never give up! ”

Implication.

I want to be filial, if you have to let me go, you have to bear the name of unfilial piety.

You, a prince who is expected to ascend the throne, have such a notoriety on your back, what are the consequences, you think for yourself.

"This ......"

The second prince was a little hesitant for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The second prince is not a gloomy person, he, like his eldest brother, is a bit kind-hearted.

However, he was not as decisive as his eldest brother, and even a little weak.

was forced by Xiang Minzhong and the others, and he was a little overwhelmed.

The second prince subconsciously looked at Li Fang.

Li Fang glanced at Xiang Minzhong and said lightly: "In order to avoid worrying about Xiang Yushi, the second prince will arrange for the imperial doctor to accompany him on this trip." I believe that with the company of the imperial doctor, Xiang Yushi will be fine. ”

"But ......"

Xiang Minzhong was just about to speak, but Li Fang interrupted forcefully.

"Also, in order to avoid the worries of the two of you, your family members will also be sent to the four northwestern mansions together."

Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan looked sluggish.

The young and vigorous Wang Dan straightened up and said angrily: "Why? Are you going to throw the two of us to Yang Yansi together, and let us be traitors with Yang Yansi? ”

Li Xin glared and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense." This is a great credit to you, you don't know gratitude, and you dare to talk nonsense? ”

"You!"

Wang Dan was about to question, but was pulled by Xiang Minzhong.

Xiang Minzhong straightened up, stared at the four of the two princes, and asked in a deep voice, "This is the joint decision of His Royal Highness and the three ministers?" ”

The second prince nodded embarrassedly.

Li Fang and the three of them stood there motionless like statues.

Xiang Minzhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then let's go! ”

He arched his hand, "And let the lower official go home and take care of everything, and leave for the northwest on the same day." ”

After speaking, he pulled Wang Dan out of the vertical arch hall.

The two went all the way out of Donghua Gate.

Wang Dan shook off Xiang Minzhong and roared, "What do they mean by this? Send us to be thieves? Not only that, but do you want our family members to go with you? ”

Xiang Minzhong's face was gloomy and could drip blood, and he roared: "Your Majesty is unconscious, and now the second prince and the three of them are in power. The four of them made a joint decision, do you think we really have the right to refuse? ”

"Then let them do it?"

"From the beginning, we didn't have a choice."

Wang Dan was furious, "Anyway, I won't go to the northwest, if they really force me to be anxious, I will resign." I'm not a good official. ”

Xiang Minzhong sighed and said, "Brother Xian, don't be rash, let's go back and ask Shibo for advice, and then make a decision." ”

Wang Dan said coldly: "I make up my own mind on this matter, and if I don't go, I won't go, and no one can persuade me." ”

Dropping this sentence, Wang Dan left angrily.

Xiang Minzhong looked at Wang Dan's departing back and sighed.

"Hey~"

……

Three days later.

Xiang Minzhong packed his bags, took his wife, children and mother, and went to the gate of Bianjing City to exchange money.

When he arrived outside Bianjing City, there were already a large number of people waiting.

Among them were hundreds of convicts who were dressed in chains, as well as Shen Lun's eldest son, and Shen Lun's family.

In addition, there are also Lu Duan's families.

Seeing Lu Duan's family, Xiang Minzhong obviously felt a little surprised.

He guessed in his heart that Bacheng Lu Duan was also sent to the northwest like him.

knew that it was not only him and Wang Dan who were unlucky, but also Lu Duan, who had a higher official position and qualifications than them.

Xiang Minzhong's mood has improved a lot.

After the group gathered, Xiang Minzhong did not see Wang Dan.

They waited a little longer at the gates.

I saw Wang Dan old and young, escorted out of Bianjing City by the forbidden army.

Wang Dan was jumping and cursing hoarsely.

"Li Fang, you dog thief! You traitor! If you force a good person to become a prostitute, you can't die well! ”

"Bi Shi'an, Lao Tzu curses you to cut off your children and grandchildren!"

“……”

Wang Dan's old father let out a long sigh.

A hand knife landed on Wang Dan's neck, knocking Wang Dan unconscious.

Wang Hu hugged his son, looked back at Bianjing City, and sighed, "Hey......"

has been an official all his life, he has not made any mistakes, and he was driven out of Bianjing City when he was old.

What's going on?

Is it really that people take tea and cool, rabbits die and dogs cook?

Wang Hu is also a minister of Zhao Guangyi's hidden mansion, although he is not as valuable as Wang Chao, he is not an ordinary courtier.

Now that the whole family has been sent to the northwest, he really has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Let's go!"

The general of the forbidden army who was in charge of supervising them shouted.

Almost all of them looked back at Bianjing City.

Then, without saying a word, under the supervision of the forbidden army, he went to the northwest.

When they get to the northwest, what kind of treatment they will have, they don't know in their hearts.

There is really no way to go.

……

There is one man who knows better than they are.

This person is Lu Duan.

After ten days of surprise interrogation.

Lu Duan finally found clues in a series of clues.

The truth found out made Lu Duan a little confused.

A monstrous rage ensued.

Datong Mansion Yamen.

in the lobby.

Lu Duan held the evidence in his hand and looked at the horse widow standing in front of him, the dead green willow, and the righteous men in the cell.

Boil over!

"Bang!"

Lu Duan slapped the table, and everyone in the lobby trembled in fright.

"Yang Yansi! You're kidding me! ”

Lu Duan roared angrily and glanced coldly at the people in the lobby.

"Take them and go to Yang's Mansion with the official, and the official will ask Yang Yansi for clarification in person."

With Lu Duan's order, this group of people was taken, followed by Lu Duan, and killed Yang Mansion in a mighty manner.

Inside the Yang Mansion.

Yang Qi was holding his son and playing, when he heard a quarrel.

"Master Lu, the young master is resting, you can't go in."

Peng Pai stopped the angry Lu Duan.

Lu Duan kicked and scolded Peng Pai, "You get out of the way for me!" ”

The angry Lu Duan was still very murderous.

In addition, Peng Pai knew in his heart that Yang Qi valued Lu Duan, so he didn't dare to make a move with Lu Duan.

This allowed Lu Duan to successfully break through his obstacle and enter the flower hall of the Yang Mansion.

As soon as I entered the flower hall, I saw Yang Qi.

Lu Duan angrily asked Yang Qi, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Wow......"

Xiao Zongwei was frightened and cried by Lu Duan's roar.

Yang Qi rolled his eyes angrily while coaxing his son, "Can you be quieter, what do you mean?" Be clear. ”

Lu Duan was about to roar angrily, but looking at the crying little Zongwei, he put away his angry voice and asked in a low voice through gritted teeth, "You sent so many people to create such a big game and lure me into the bait." What do you mean? Teasing me? ”

Yang Qi picked up Xiao Zongwei, put Xiao Zongwei on his neck, and bumped twice, Xiao Zongwei immediately stopped crying.

Yang Qi looked at the angry Lu Duan and said with a smile: "You can see this as a kind of examination school!" ”

"Exam?"

Lu Duan snorted coldly: "What qualifications do you have to test me?" I see you're clearly playing tricks on me. ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Don't say it, if you come a day earlier, I really won't be qualified to take the school exam." You came at the right time today, and I just happened to be qualified to test you. ”

Lu Duan frowned and stared at Yang Qi, "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Qi said to Peng Pai: "Show Master Lu the documents sent by Bianjing City this morning." ”

Peng Pai went to Yang Qi's study, took a document, and handed it to Lu Duan.

Lu Duan opened the paperwork suspiciously, and was stunned after a glance.

"How so?"

He couldn't believe his eyes, and carefully stared at every word and sentence on the paperwork, and saw it clearly.

"Puff~"

Lu Duan immediately sat down on the ground.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"The court sold me to you?"

Lu Duan muttered in a low voice.

This information shocked him too much.

has been an official for more than ten years, and he is only one step away from his dream of participating in political affairs.

Seeing that if you go further, you can wake up to the power of the world and get drunk on the knees of the beauty.

Just like that, he was easily sold to Yang Yansi?

How could he accept this?

"I, Lu Duan, have been running for more than ten years. Now, it was easily given to you Yang Yansi. What am I? ”

Lu Duan stared at Yang Yansi, "Goods?" ”

Yang Qi did not comfort Lu Duan, with Lu Duan's character, he didn't need to comfort him.

Yang Qi smiled at his son, and said quietly: "This is politics, before entering the center of power, once you encounter a scene where the situation is stronger than people, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed."

Think of Liu Bang's siege of Baishan Mountain, and think of Li Shimin's alliance of white horses. You should understand your situation. ”

Lu Duan stared at Yang Qi resentfully, "If you want it, they have to give it?" ”

Yang Qi didn't seem to see Lu Duan's resentful eyes, he said calmly: "If I want, they have to give it." Because I'm strong enough, I can threaten them, but they can't threaten me. ”

Lu Duan was furious and roared, "What are you? is not even a grass king, why threaten the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Yang Qi looked at Lu Duan and sneered, "As long as the Liao Kingdom is not destroyed, even if I am a piece of, the Great Song Dynasty will have to provide for me." And you, not even. ”

"Not even?"

Lu Duan repeated, and then looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

Lu Duan laughed and cried.

Laughter spread throughout the Yang Mansion.

Tears were already covering his cheeks.

"That's right! You're right! I'm not even as good as! It's not even as good as! ”

"Hahaha......"

Lu Duan looked a little crazy.

He laughed wildly and wept like crazy.

Then he ignored anyone and stumbled towards the outside of Yang's mansion.

Yang Qi frowned and commanded in a low voice, "Peng Pai, you send someone to follow him." Green willow, you follow too. ”

"My subordinates understand."

"The slave understands."

Peng Pai sent the scarecrow and the green willow to follow Lu Duan.

After Lu Duan left the Yang Mansion, he went straight to the largest restaurant in Datong Mansion.

Changle Fang.

Lu Duan was drunk in Changle Fang for three days, and drank every day after he sobered up, crying and laughing while drinking.

Like a madman.

It is a very sad thing to be abandoned by your own country.

It's like someone has suddenly gouged out the flesh of the heart and drained the soul.

It hurts to the bones, it hurts to the depths of the soul.

Lu Duan wanted to borrow wine to forget this pain, but this pain became more and more painful in his chest, and he couldn't forget it.

Rumeng got Yang Qi's message, so he let Lu Duan fool around in Changle Fang.

Lu Duan made trouble in Changle Fang for three days.

On the fourth day.

After Lu Duan got dressed up early in the morning, he arrived at the Yang Mansion.

He stood opposite Yang Qi, the whole person looked very gloomy, and his eyes became very sharp and sharp.

It seems to be devouring.

Yang Qi was also dressed neatly.

Today, people sent from Bianjing City to Datong Mansion City.

Yang Qi was ready to greet him.

Lu Duan's family members are also among them, and Lu Duan is obviously going to greet them.

Looking at Lu Duan opposite, Yang Qi frowned and said, "Aren't you crazy?" ”

Lu Duan said expressionlessly: "I've never been crazy. ”

Yang Qi opened his mouth and said with emotion: "Don't be so disheartened, serving under me will not insult your talent." ”

Lu Duan looked at Yang Qi gloomily and said coldly: "When will you let me sit in a position comparable to that of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, you will be qualified to say so." ”

This is...... Encouraging me to rebel?

The corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched obviously.
