I haven't seen him for a long time, Yang Chongyuan wanted to talk to Jiang Fei alone for a night, but it wasn't that he had dirty thoughts in his heart, it was indeed the pain of longing, and he had endless words in his heart; Usually distracted by high-intensity work, at first glance at the beauty in front of me, that nerve begins to beat in the brain. Others were very self-conscious, even Jiang Duo was looking for Miao Yun to talk about things, but they didn't expect Hao Ting to take Jiang Fei to the bedroom in a puzzled way, saying that she wanted to see the Persian carpet that Yang Chong prepared for Jiang Fei.

The carpet was bought by Yang Chong from a Persian merchant, and it is said to be a polonez carpet, woven from the wool of a ten-moon lamb in the mountains, and the back is made of cotton thread and silk warp raw materials, which are not only soft but also have excellent reflective effects, embroidered with garden architectural patterns, and embellished with gold and silver filigree weaving patterns, which is considered to be a rare superb. The problem is that the blanket can be seen more clearly during the day, Hao Ting, what do you have to do at night.

Yang Chong was stunned, turned around and walked out of the room, ready to find another place to sleep; Kou Jiuhui, who had been checking the post in the courtyard, saw Yang Chong and said, "If you are free, let's meet someone." In addition to Liang Shuo, who came from Wuwei, Fang Xuanling, Sikong Xing, and Meng Chuan are all here, waiting to see you; I didn't tell them in advance that Jiang Fei was coming, and I was a little nervous when I got the news. ”

Yang Chong thought about it and asked Kou Jiuhui to bring Sikong Xing and Meng Tuo to the secret room; Kou Jiuhui made three cups of tea, then walked out and closed the door of the secret room. Yang Chong sat on the chair, looked at Meng Chuan and Sikong Xing for a while, did not speak, the quiet air made the hearts of the two of them beat wildly, in the impression of the two, Yang Chong has always been a breezy guy, confidence is almost everywhere, rarely so serious, so cautious.

Yang Chong finally spoke, and the first sentence made the two of them frightened: "Xiao Yue Guogong was preparing to rebel and planned for more than two years. ”

Yue Guogong is people's honorific title for the deceased founding father Yang Su, and the little Yue Guogong is Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who is currently in the court; Yang Xuangan is arrogant, countless scholars have defected, and Yang Su's hometown is full of government and opposition, no matter from what point of view, Yang Xuangan really has the capital to shake the world. Sikong Xing asked tentatively, "Yang Xuangan has contacted the head of the family?" ”

"Nope." Yang Chong's face was still a little grim, but his voice did not change: "Many people in the Hongnong Yang clan are involved, and once there is an incident, more people will be implicated." ”

Yang Chong is now nominally a member of the Hongnong Yang family, and after Yang Yichen left, all the business of the Hongnong Yang family in the Western Regions actually relied on Yang Chong to take care of it, and most of these people are currently in Gaochang County. As long as a few of these multi-ethnic people participated in the rebellion, Yang Chong would not be able to tell if he had ten mouths at that time. Meng turned his brain and asked quickly, "The head of the family is worried about Yang Xuangan's failure, so the head of the family may estimate when Yang Xuangan will make a move?" ”

Yang Chong pondered and said: "Yang Xuangan's purpose is to replace the Saint Son of Heaven, so he will definitely choose a time when the Saint Son of Heaven will disappoint the people of the world." The best chance is that after the failure of the conquest of Goguryeo, the Son of Heaven failed in his attempt to suppress the opposition forces in the country with military merits, and a single spark could ignite a prairie fire. The sudden birth of thieves in Bingzhou and Hebei is also a move made by the Shandong Shi clan, in order not to lose the first move when the world is in chaos. ”

Sikong Xing and Meng Fu didn't have a chance to question it at all, judging from the official mansion's report, thieves had already appeared in Bingzhou and Hebei, and they were not hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, but between the plains, and if there was no acquiescence from the local scholars, they would be wiped out in minutes. Meng Tuo deserved to be a strategist, and asked a key question: "Is Yang Xuangan preparing to usurp the throne himself?" ”

Yang Chong said calmly: "I've thought about it for a long time, and to be honest, I can't guess." Since Yang Xuangan wants the Holy Son of Heaven to step down, he will never praise the descendants of the Holy Son of Heaven as emperors again; Yang Su and Yang Yue were accomplices in helping the Son of Heaven to bring down Yang Yong, the king of Fangling, and it was impossible for the filial piety brothers; Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, is difficult to control, and Yang Hao, the son of Yang Liang, the king of Han, has been imprisoned since he was a child and can only be an alternative. Yang Xuangan's first choice should be Yang Jun's two sons. ”

"King of Qin, Yang Hao." Meng Tuan blurted out that Yang Jun's two sons were Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and Yang Zhan, the marquis of Jibei. Yang Hao is not only the eldest son, he has an advantage in identity, but Yang Hao's mother is Cui Hongdu's sister, and Yang Hao is Cui Hongdu's nephew. If Yang Hao and Yang Xuangan become comrades-in-arms on the same front, the Boling Cui clan must go all out; If Yang Xuangan chooses Yang Zhan, the Marquis of Jibei, he will be the enemy of the Cui family, and he will not do such a stupid thing if he understands.

Meng Fu and Sikong Xing both believed that what Yang Chong said must be true, and even suspected that the news came from the Cui family, and the relationship between Cui Hongdu and Yang Chong was known to the world, and they were still business partners. Yang Xuangan may not be convenient to come forward to win over Yang Chong, but Cui Hongdu will not have this concern, he has a way to let Yang Chong get on the thief ship; And I'm not afraid that Yang Chong will say it, but now there is no shadow at all, Yang Chong said that Yang Xuangan and Cui Hongdu want to rebel, and someone must believe it.

Yang Chong wanted this effect, although Sikong Xing and Meng Fu were loyal to themselves, it was still very difficult to rise to the level of fighting against Emperor Yang of Sui. The five surnames and seven hopes are above the imperial power, with Yang Xuangan and Cui Hongdu as shields, although the two are surprised, the pressure and repulsion in their hearts will be greatly reduced. Yang Chong nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think so too." We are involved in a turmoil, and we need to take precautions, otherwise we don't know how we died. ”

participated in the rebellion, if Yang Xuangan failed, he would die; also did not participate in the rebellion, if Emperor Yang of Sui died, he would be buried, and even if Emperor Yang of Sui did not die, he would end up dismally. Yang Chong can't get rid of the relationship with the Cui family and the Hongnong Yang family, and the so-called public mouth is gold, even if it is aimed at the wealth and official position of the head of the family, many people will fall into the ground. For the first time, Meng Chuan had the feeling of competing for the world, and the fire of desire ignited in his heart for no reason, and he thought about it: "No matter whether Yang Xuan is successful or failing, the head of the family can no longer gain the trust of the Son of Heaven, and the relationship between you and Cui Hongdu is too deep." ”

Yang Chong said indifferently: "If the Cui family is fine, I will ask the Son of Heaven to resign from the post of Gaochang County Guard, and lead three thousand iron cavalry to Saibei, or attack Goguryeo." If the Boling Cui clan falls, I can only hide or occupy Gaochang and wait for the great changes in the situation in the world. ”

Sikong Xing and Meng Chuan understood that it was more likely that Yang Chong would choose to occupy Gaochang, and the clansmen of the Hongnong Yang clan in the Western Regions and Yang Chong's subordinates would not allow Yang Chong to remain incognito, let alone Yang Chong himself, a young man in his twenties would not have a little blood. The eldest husband is going to be vigorous, he would rather die standing than steal his life, as long as he reaches an agreement with Tong Ye Hu, the possibility of Yang Chong occupying Gaochang is very great.
