Li Gang joined the army of Wang Yu Wenxian of Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and in the process of Emperor Yu Wenyun of Zhou Xuan killing Yu Wenxian, Li Gang swore to die without words of submission, and finally carried Yu Wenxian's body to the burial alone in a car without a cover. In the Sui Dynasty, Li Gang served as the crown prince to wash horses, the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed, and Li Gang talked back to Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, so that Yang Jian could not step down; What Yu Zhining is worried about is Li Gang's stinky temper and Yang Chong's death.

Yang Chong thought for a while and said: "Duhu usurped as the captain of the city gate, Wei Jie served as the regular attendant of the outer cavalry, Li Gang served as the author Lang, and Feng Deyi served as the inner historian. Feng Deyi is Yang Su's old department, and Li Gang can do He Panren's long history, which is also no problem; Pei Shouzhen, tomorrow I will bring Wei Yunqi and Linghu Dedi together to meet him. ”

Feng Deyi is cunning, flattering, two-faced, Yang Chong is just for his own image now, and he doesn't care if Feng Deyi is sincere or not, whether he can be long; Li Gang is a gentleman, and Yang Chong is even more powerful. It's really not good, Wei Yunqi and Linghu Dedi may have spare tires in them.

As Yang Chong expected, Feng Deyi bowed down when he saw Yang Chong, and without the slightest hesitation, he was willing to serve as a member of the Inner History; Li Gang's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, Yang Chong shook his head and said: "Li Gang, you disappointed me very much, I thought that a generation of great Confucianism was the same, but I didn't expect to be robbed by the Hu people, so I was willing to fall into the grass and rebel against Li Yuan's rebels." ”

Li Gang was so angry that his face turned red and said: "Yang Guang has no way, everyone in the world can replace him, and Li Yuan's destiny is difficult to disobey." ”

Yang Chong asked curiously, "Then how could he lose Taiyuan Chang'an?" ”

Li Gang pointed at Yang Chong and said: "You are too cunning, but the battle of the world, how can it be a battle to win or lose, Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed, every battle will be lost, but in the end, it is all successful." ”

"Well said." Yang Chong applauded and said: "Looking at the past, I know the rise and fall, but the monarchs and ministers, is it what you Confucians say you can play?" ”

"You." Li Gang was about to refute, but suddenly remembered that Yang Chong had always claimed to be a follower of the Mohist family, and he suddenly didn't dare to squeak. Seeing that Li Gang didn't speak, Yang Chong said to himself: "I am going to let Mozhuo Academy compile the history of the Northern Dynasty and the Book of the Former Sui Dynasty, from Liu Yuan to Li Yuan's usurpation. ”

Li Gang couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "What qualifications do you Mo family have to compile history?" ”

Yang Chong looked at Li Gang fixedly and asked, "From Qin to Sui, can someone stipulate that the children of the Mo family cannot compile history?" Besides, I allow others to make their own at the same time, so that the world can see who is capable at that time. You Confucians specialize in scriptures, and you are not very interested in compiling history, as can be seen from the fact that Sima Qian, Chen Shou and others in history completed the "Historical Records" and "Three Kingdoms" by themselves. ”

Feng Deyi praised it in his heart, Yang Chong's hand is too powerful, from the history to open the gap, this example is opened, in the future, hundreds of schools can compile history, and Confucianism alone is the end. It is estimated that Li Gang doesn't even dare to seek death now, if Mozhuo Academy planted a false accusation for Li Gang when compiling history, saying that because Li Gang was not interested in compiling history, the Mo family took over the burden, then Li Gang is a sinner of Confucianism through the ages, and he is more hated than Yang Guang.

Li Gang just has an upright personality, not stupid, he saw through Yang Chong's attempt at a glance, and said angrily: "Isn't the old man stronger than Yu Wenkai?" The old man can make history. ”

Yang Chong looked at Li Gang and said indifferently: "You are now a prisoner and a traitor of the Great Sui, and it is not morals to let you compile history." ”

Li Gang gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you Guogong for reminding me, as long as Guogong agrees to compile history, Li Gang is willing to return to the Great Sui." ”

Yang Chong said unhurriedly: "Lord Li, you have to think about it, if you betray the Great Sui again, you will destroy the Nine Clans." ”

Li Gang replied stubbornly: "Didn't Guogong say that he could sweep the world? Li Gang gambled on this. ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "Okay, Yang believes in you for a while, and he will appoint you as the author Lang and be responsible for compiling history." ”

Feng Deyi was still sad for Li Gang at first, but seeing the knowing smiles of Wang Gong and others on one side, Feng Deyi suddenly realized that Yang Chong was not a radical general, but according to Li Gang's personality, he built a step for Li Gang to surrender; Li Gang understood this and walked down the steps. Yang Chong also asked people to invite Duhu and Wei Jie, Duhu served as the captain of the city gate and the prince of Handan County, and Wei Jie served as a regular attendant of the scattered cavalry, and compiled history with Li Gang and Feng Deyi.

Wei Yunqi and Ling Hu Dedi did not have any psychological pressure on the surrender, especially Ling Hu Dedi, who knew that all his own industries in Chang'an City had been seized, and he knew very well the seriousness of his words to prosper his family and invite trouble, and he didn't even have the least pretentiousness. Yang Chong appointed Wei Yunqi as Henan's pacification envoy and Linghu Dedi as the school secretary; Accompanied by his son Yang Daoxuan and the think tank Xiao Deyan, Yang Zhiji went to Chang'an, and Yang Zhiji publicly stated that he was too old to participate in political affairs.

Yang Zhiming, the prince of Gaoyang County, and Yang Zhicai, the prince of Kaifeng County, appeared one after another, and for a while, it seemed that the royal family was returning; Nanyang princess Yang Ciyou rushed to Chang'an and asked Yang Chong to kill Yu Wenshi, but Yang Chong flatly refused. Yang Ciyou's face was full of tears, and he cried: "Dou Jiande also killed Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi, and you refused to kill even a Yu Wenshi?" ”

Wang Gong came forward to defend Yang Chong and said: "Princess, if it is a traitor, Yu Wenshi should be killed, but the traitors who were arrested in Chang'an are not one or two, if they are both killed, I am afraid that the world will be shaken, which is not good for the Duke of Yue, and it is not good for the restoration of the Great Sui, and the people of the world hope that the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, not the butcher." ”

Yang Ciyou looked down on Wang Gong at all, and refuted with a change of color: "Da Sui is the world of my Yang family, who dares to talk nonsense." ”

Wang Gong is from the Taiyuan Wang family, five surnames and seven Wangzhong, how can he put the royal family in his eyes, Wang Gong said unceremoniously: "Dou Jiande is named Xia, even if he kills the Yuwen brothers, isn't he a thief of the Great Sui?" Since the princess still knows about the Great Sui, she should not come nonsense because of her personal feelings, you must know that now three-quarters of the world is occupied by Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and others, and it is no longer Sui Land. ”

Princess Nanyang shouted, "Yang Chong." ”

Yang Chong waved his hand, motioned for Wang Gong to step back and said, "Princess, don't dwell on this matter anymore, let's talk about Yang Tong and Yang Yu." ”

Yang Ciyou calmed down a little and said: "The queen mother agreed that the two of them would restore the titles of King Yue and Acting King, so naturally they want to go back to Chang'an, and it is best to live in the original mansion." ”

Yang Ciyou understood that Yang Chong was not interested in this regard, so he could only mention it himself, and the previous dispute over the killing of Yu Scribe was now a good opportunity. Yu Xuan interjected and said: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Yang Dong Chan is located in Wang Shichong, and Yang Yu Chan is located in Li Yuan, both of which are great sins that are unforgivable, and they should be exiled according to the law." ”
