Yang Chong asked to see, Yu Shinan stood all of a sudden, Yang Chong is the first person today, no matter whether he likes it or dislikes, there is no reason to refuse; Yu Shinan hurriedly led everyone to the door to greet him, and seeing that Yang Chong was wearing civilian clothes, Yu Shinan guessed that Yang Chong had already come in. Seeing that everyone was about to bow down, Yang Chong motioned to everyone not to be polite, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu, this is outside, just a chance encounter, can you introduce the guests in the seat." ”

Yu Shinan was able to be an official in several dynasties, and his experience in officialdom was not bad, so he immediately nodded and said, "These are all celebrities in Jiangnan." ”

Waiting for Yu Shinan to introduce them one by one, in addition to the Wang family, the Xie family, the Zhang family, the Zhu family, the Xiao family, the Liu family, and the Heng family, Yang Chong nodded with a smile on his face, and followed Yu Shinan into the main seat; As soon as Yang Chong arrived, Yu Shinan naturally gave up the position of the main seat, and the guys were in a hurry, hurriedly moved the case to increase the seats, added cups, and finally arranged the seats. Yang Chong sat down, toasted with everyone, and suddenly asked Yu Shinan: "Lord Yu, there are so many guests today, why don't you wrap the second floor together, you can be elegant and quiet, and the guests can also sit down and have a drink." ”

None of the people present change color, Yang Chong is known as a virtuous person, and has close contacts with Confucianism Liu Xuan, Kong Yingda and others, and has a good reputation among the people; But Yang Chong is known as Mozi No. 2 among the people, although it is contrary to Confucianism, it also feels out of place, the things upstairs, the people upstairs, it is really not easy for Yang Chong to see. Yang Chong looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes and instructed Ma Zhou: "Go up and be polite to people, just say that this king has an invitation, if you don't want to come down, I can go up." ”

Yu Shinan was originally ready to dissuade him, but he laughed secretly when he heard this, there is Wei Yi, even if Yang Chong doesn't know now, he will still know at night; Not long after Ma Zhou went up, he heard a sound of footsteps on the stairs, Jiang Duo, Liu Hongji, Wei Yi, Zhang Huaishan, Gu Xi and others walked down together, stopped in front of the banquet, bowed and said, "See King Yue." ”

During the banquet, everyone stood up one after another, Yang Chong could bear it, they didn't dare to bear it, and they were all ready to give up their positions; Yang Chong smiled and said indifferently: "Everyone is free, it's just that the head of the Gu family came to Chang'an, I didn't even know, it's really rude." Ma Zhou, have all the guests upstairs come down? ”

Ma Zhou replied in a low voice: "There is another one who has not come down, it is the Zhiguo Master from Luoyang." ”

Zhiguo is the first monk in the south, already over seventy years old, is the host of the Luoyang Huiri Dojo, and his calligraphy is similar to Wang Xizhi. In his early years, Yang Guang took the king of Jin as the governor of Yangzhou, loved his calligraphy, and ordered him to write books, but Zhiguo refused to be a monk and could no longer serve for the world, and was imprisoned in Jiangdu; Later, Yang Guang went out as a prince to patrol Yang, Yue, and Zhiguo on the "Ode to the Prince's Eastern Tour", and was relieved, gave 10,000 yuan and two golden bells, and summoned him to the Eastern Capital Huiri Dojo.

It's just that Yang Chong has a close relationship with Caotang Temple, and even after occupying Luoyang, he doesn't have much interaction with Zhiguo; If Zhiguo doesn't come down, it's not because of his identity, but because it means that everything has nothing to do with him. Yang Chong didn't express any doubts, and said calmly: "Monks like to be quiet, Lord Yu, let people send a table of vegetarian food." ”

Yu Shinan and Jiang Duo were both a little embarrassed, Yang Chong didn't say what to do in the back so far, so Jiang Duo and the others couldn't sit or walk, they all felt uncomfortable; Fortunately, Yang Chong was knowledgeable, stood up and said, "Wei Yi and I have a few words to explain and leave, and you will be at your own convenience." ”

Wei Yi hurriedly bowed down and listened, Yang Chong smiled and said: "Until you have a treat, let Xu Jingzong write a manuscript about Yang Ze's capture of Woye Town, and remember to post it on the front page of Chang'an Daily tomorrow." ”

Everyone was shocked, after the capture of Dali City, Woye Town was the last fortress of the Turks, Wei Yi asked carefully: "What about Jieli?" ”

"Ran away." Yang Chong said calmly: "Song Jingang wiped out a total of 20,000 Golden Wolf troops in the first battle, but he still failed to catch him, but Li Jing captured a total of 100,000 Turkic soldiers and civilians during this Northern Expedition. You'll find out when you go back. Ma Zhou, let's go, let's go to another place. ”

Yu Shinan was thoughtful and knew that today was a hurdle for Jiang Zuo's wealthy family, and the imperial examination relied on scriptures and strategies, but it was the most important thing to get the appreciation of the superiors. If Yang Chong believes that Jiang Zuo's wealthy family colluded with Jiang Duo and others, then it is certain that in this imperial examination, Jiang Zuo's scholars are likely to end miserably. Yu Shinan took advantage of the reason to send each other off, and walked all the way to the gate of Ruyi Building, and when Yang Chong was about to board the carriage, he couldn't help but say: "King Yue, there is no conspiracy today." ”

Yang Chong stopped, Yu Shinan's thoughts, how could Yang Chong not know, turned back with a light smile and said, "Lord Yu, do you really know those two table people?" ”

Yu Shinan was stunned when he heard this, Yang Chong's words were full of mystery, Yu Shinan had been away from Jiangnan for more than ten years, and he could only say that he had heard of these fellow Taoists, as for Jiang Duo, Gu Xi and others, they were not as familiar as Yang Chong. Yang Chong didn't say much and got into the carriage, Ma Zhou and Tianqi apologized to Yu Shinan with a fist, and followed into the carriage; The coachman whipped his long whip and drove the carriage slowly, and the officers of the 20 cavalry battalions squeezed out from all directions to protect the carriage.

Yu Shinan understood that something big had happened in Ruyi Building today, and when he turned around, he saw Wei Yi standing at the gate, and dozens of scholars looked at him dumbfounded; Yue Wang Yang Chong can come, many people know that it is an opportunity to show his face, even if Yang Chong is a believer of the Mo family, the people under his command are mainly Confucian. But Yang Chong left without drinking a glass of wine, everyone knows that this is Yang Chong expressing dissatisfaction.

Yu Shinan suddenly felt ten years old, walked up to Wei Yi and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Lord Yu, this is also the reason why I was reluctant to go upstairs with Jiang Duo in the first place. ”

Wei Yi knew that Yang Chong placed his fief in Jiangnan in order to win over Jiangzuo's wealthy families, from Yuhang to Huating, Yang Chong was able to give all the benefits, and Gu Xi was not the first to visit Yang Chong when he went to Chang'an, but met with Jiang Duo in private, which greatly reduced Yang Chong's trust in Jiangzuo. Today's Yang Chong is not Yang Chong who has just occupied the south of the Yangtze River, he is a god-like existence in Shanyue, the pace of the Sui army has reached Guangzhou, Huiji and Wu County are just two cities, if Yang Chong is willing, he can make the Jiangzuo clan cry bitterly in minutes.

The two returned to the building, Jiang Duo and the others had already gone upstairs, and the Confucian students at the table looked at Yu Shinan with blank eyes, the opportunity was in front of them just now, it was obviously close at hand, but they couldn't seize it, and the kind of torment that they missed was already making people laugh. Yu Shinan squeezed out a smile and said, "Cheers to the victory of the Great Sui." ”
