Yang Guang returned to normal, looked coldly at me standing respectfully in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "You go down." ”

A vague premonition flashed through my mind, but I didn't think much of it. With my understanding of Yang Guang, in order to let himself have no worries, he can poison Yang Jun, and then kill Yang Yong, he can kill no one in the Liangyi Palace, and he can even create an accident that leads to Yang Liang's death. However, I have already seen the guards of Situ Mansion, and it is difficult to go out and get in, so Yang Su should be considered very safe.

I think that now Yang Su and I are basically in the same boat, and Yang Su may be any one in the court - Zhang Heng, Yu Wenshu, Liu Shu, He Ruobi, Yu Wenbi, Daddy...... Whether it is the person who helped him win the throne or the person who hindered his path to the throne, once he is suspicious, the final outcome may be the same as Yang Su.

So the most important point is not to arouse Yang Guang's suspicion.

Although I was quite dissatisfied with Yang Su in the past, and I also held a grudge against him because of his pursuit and killing of Li Jing, but since he claimed to be sick, the pursuit of Li Jing has ended, and I know that he has no ill will towards me, so I don't want him to die. He, too, did not die soon, as I had hoped. According to the news obtained by Cao Fu, Yang Guang sent people in and out of Situ Mansion at least three times, but they all returned in vain.

Ever since I changed Yang Guang's mind with a letter in Luoyang City, I couldn't help but start paying attention to everything that was happening around me, imagining if I intervened in it, and whether it would end up different. I used to feel that I was an outsider to the world, that I could only watch things happen, and that I didn't have the power to change them. But now it's different, and I can imagine intervening in what is happening, not necessarily changing the whole history, but at least changing the fate of someone, and if it used to be unconscious involvement, it is now purposefully involved, and now I have to do it.

Because Yang Guang has already issued an order to kill Yu Wenhua after the autumn.

The reason for the incident is very simple, after Yang Guang toured Jiangdu, he went to Yulin County, the border of the eastern part of the country, and asked Yu Wenhua and his younger brother Yu Wenzhi to accompany him, but Yu Wenzhi and fell in love with the Turkic horses, and bought 300 horses in one go, and this matter was reported to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was angry and arrested Yu Wenzhihe, and Yu Wenhuahe, as an insider, suffered the crime of joint sitting, was escorted back to Daxing City and locked up, waiting to be beheaded.

I don't know how Yu Wenhua died in history, but as a friend, I can't sit idly by and watch him get killed. So I bought off the guards, and I met Yu Wenhua while on death row.

I poured him a glass of wine and asked, "What to do?" ”

Yu Wenhua laughed when he heard this, and seemed to not care about Yang Guang's intention to kill him at all, and asked rhetorically: "What to do?" ”

I said, "The emperor has issued an edict that he will kill you after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

He took a sip of wine, looked at me like a fool and said, "He dares to kill me?" Forget it, kill if you want to, I don't care. ”

Yu Wenhua and I have always known that it doesn't matter if he dies or not, but I can't watch him die. I said: "You don't know the emperor's temperament, he can kill whoever he wants now, even if it's you, it's the same." ”

He nodded, "That's right! Well said. ”

Seeing that he was speaking in an unusual tone, I asked, "Are you stimulated by anything?" ”

He said, "Excitement? No, no, no...... It's not a stimulus, it's a blow. ”

"Blow?" I asked in confusion.

There was a hint of sadness on his cynical face, and I almost thought I was mistaken. But this sadness stayed in his gaze, and he looked at me and said leisurely: "You know that I am a person who has always regarded human life as a mustard. The first time I saw you in a tavern in Qizhou, I almost shot you with an arrow, and if you were shot by me, I don't think it would be a big deal. ”

I nodded, he was right, but I didn't understand what he meant.

He glanced at me and said, "I accompanied the emperor to Jiangdu, turned back to Luoyang, and then went to Yulin." When I was in Luoyang, I once went to Xiyuan to see how the Xianren Palace was built, do you know what I saw? ”

As soon as he asked, I thought of the open-air morgue outside Luoyang, where the ragged people slept as if they had finally been freed...... I shook my head desperately, but I couldn't get rid of the tragic picture, so I had to ask, "What? ”

"Before I approached Xiyuan, there were several carts carrying heavy loads passing by, and there were dead people piled up on them...... I counted seven of them, and there were about a dozen people in each car. They were all stacked on top of each other, and one of the hands reached out and hit me, bloodied my clothes. He put his glass aside, picked up the flask and began to pour it into his mouth, waiting for a long sip of wine to finish before he continued, "It doesn't matter to me that a hundred or ten people die, but I was curious to know where they were going to get these people, so I followed them, and guess what?" Outside Luoyang...... Come to think of it, they dug a big hole and poured these dead people into it, and I can't count the dead people like this in that pit. I asked, and they had to make an average of two or three trips a day, and when the pit was almost full, it was set on fire, and basically every three to five days......

He paused for a long time this time, thought for a moment, and then said, "The man who took me said that maybe one day he himself will go in." ”

I can't imagine what he said, but I know that the situation has deteriorated and more people have died than the last time I saw it outside Luoyang.

I felt sick again.

He wiped his eyes and smiled, "You know, it doesn't matter to me that so many people die, it really doesn't matter." ”

He shook his head as he spoke, and I knew he was making a fool of himself. I suddenly understood why he felt that being killed was a no-brainer for him—he regretted it just as much as Tu Wanxu.

I stood up and asked, "Does it really matter?" ”

He looked at me and nodded.

I added, "As far as I'm concerned, it matters. ”

His body seemed to move, and he leaned forward and said, "What's the matter with me?" ”

I saw his lazy attitude, turned my heart sideways, and said, "It has something to do with me." ”

He smiled: "Of course you can toss as much as you can, but I Yu Wenhua and ...... But it is passable, and it is at the end of the road. ”

I said, "No." It doesn't matter if there's one less Yu culture, but one less friend, I'm very concerned. I think this sentence is very sentimental. It's strange, when I was fooling around before, I never said anything like that, but now I'm a serious nobleman, but I realize this.

Ding Cheng stood in front of me with a blank face and told me that the matter had been done.

I don't know how he did it, but he did find the Turk who was trading horses with Yuwen Zhihe at the time - he was not a Turk, but a Han Chinese, and he was the one who revealed Yuwen Zhiji's identity.

Ding Cheng told me that this person finally admitted in front of Yang Guang that he was instructed by someone with ulterior motives, and as for who it was, he died before he could say it.

I said: "In this way, Princess Nanyang's love is in vain." ”

Princess Nanyang is the daughter of Yang Guang, married to Yuwenshu's third son, Yuwenshi, and Yuwenshi's two brothers are going to be killed, of course she can't sit idly by, so in fact, when I asked Ding Cheng to find someone, she had already pleaded with Yang Guang, and when Yang Guang was hesitating whether to pardon them, the Turkic man that Ding Cheng found resolved the crisis encountered by the Yuwen family.

As soon as Yu Wenhua came out of prison, he wanted to ask me for a drink.

"You kid...... Not bad. He patted me on the shoulder as he drank, "But even though you helped me, I don't appreciate you at all." ”

I think what I asked Ding Cheng to do is impossible for anyone else to know except for him knowing what I mean, let alone Yu Wenhua, he must only guess when he says this. I thought for a moment and prevaricated, "I don't know." ”

He smiled, "Forget it, drink." ”

He took a few sips and said, "You know I'm in Luoyang...... Hey, forget it, can you accompany me to worship someone in a few days? ”

I nodded, knowing that he wanted to avoid a topic that was too heavy, and who he wanted to worship was.

After a while, after a few glasses of wine, he seemed to have forgotten the stubble he had just mentioned, and his eyes turned and put on a smug expression.

I was actually not in the mood to drink, and when I saw him getting carried away, I persuaded: "In the past, you accepted bribes, and you were not investigated once or twice by the dismissed officials, but this time you made such a big fuss and almost lost your head, shouldn't you be a little more restrained?" ”

He pushed me with disdain and said, "So, you still don't understand." Think about it, if this matter is put on me, it is an execution after the autumn, at least there is a turning point, if it is put on Yang Xuangan, it should be killed. ”

I was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

He said: "I have been friends with the emperor for many years, and I know best what kind of person he is. A person like Yang Su who doesn't know how to protect one's life will definitely die a bad death. You are the same, now you are just a little squire, and you don't pose any threat to him, but your father, Tang Guogong, is the Taishou of the side out of the town, be careful, be careful. ”

I know that he started his usual tone again, as he taught me at the beginning, to keep a low profile and try not to arouse Yang Guang's suspicion. But I always felt that he was too cautious in his approach, and was a little suspicious of his motives, that this drunken playboy might just be making excuses for his depravity.

I didn't think so, I just thought about it, and then he said: "The emperor wants to kill Yang Su." ”
