Yuan Xiren felt very strange when he heard Miao Aimei's report, the government and the opposition knew that Yang Chong's business in Chang'an was all decided by himself, and Cui Yao was responsible for everything in the court; Yang Chong has always said that this Cheng Yanjin has eyes and knowledge, and he won't even feel this, Yuan Xiren walked to the door of the living room and was startled, and thought of another reason, Cheng Yanjin wanted to hide it from Cui Yao, and this matter had something to do with the Cui family.

Yuan Xiren and Miao Aimei met Cheng and Niu in the living room, and at the same time called Cangcao Yang Yanda and Dr. Yu Zhining, who were on duty; The military counselor Jiu Yu Xuan, the chief bookkeeper Pei Shouzhen, the army Hao Ming, the counselor signed Sima Caizhang, and Hu Cao Yuan Junbao went out with Yang Chong, and Wang Gong and others who stayed in Chang'an were divided into two shifts and were on duty in the Yue Guo Mansion. Cheng Yanjin finished talking about the matter, Yuan Xiren and others did not change color, the people of the Cui family presided over the rebellion, this is an unimaginable event, Cui Kaiyuan and Cui Chuzhi are all important ministers of Yang Chong who stayed in Chang'an.

Yuan raiders immediately ordered Yang Yanda to be on guard in the house, no one was allowed to enter or exit, and sent someone to the next door to invite Kou Jiuhui to come over to discuss, after Kou Jiuhui came to listen to the situation, he said: "Since you are here, I will not hide it from you, the right Yiwei is going to Luoyang, and Yao Junsu's army will take over the defense of Chang'an, and in the evening, Yuan Shangshu invited General Zhang Jin and General Yao Junsu to drink in Fengle Main Store, and all three of them were drunk and were sent to the music shop in the women's barracks to rest." As soon as the curfew time comes, Zuo Yiwei will take over Chang'an City. ”

It's dangerous, Cheng Yanjin can only say that his boss Zhang Jin is an old fox, and Yuan Wujin's amount of alcohol is very good, but if you want to say that Yuan Wujin can drink down Zhang Jin and Yao Junsu alone, and kill Cheng Yanjin, he doesn't believe it, it must be that the three of them have it in their hearts, Zhang Jin and the two just want to get themselves drunk, and they can stay out of it. The women's barracks are all composed of the families of Yang Chong's Hexi Army, and their loyalty to Yang Chong is second only to Jiang Duo's Zuo Yiwei in Chang'an, which shows that everything is in the hands of others.

Yuan Xiren pretended to be frightened and said, "Jiu Hui, next time I say hello to Amy in advance, I'm too scared." By the way, General Cheng, General Niu, I will intercede with the Duke of Yue Guo for Pei Xizai. ”

Kou Jiuhui smiled secretly, what are you pretending to be Yuan Raider, which of Yang Chong's three wives is not a ruthless horn who can catch a dragon in the sea, but on the surface, Kou Jiuhui still apologized; Kou Jiuhui still had countless things to deal with, so he left first. Yuan Xiren instructed Yu Zhining to go to the restaurant to prepare some wine and food, and accompany Cheng Yanjin and the two to sit; asked Yang Yanda to send someone to inform Wang Gong to come to the mansion to discuss matters, Wei Chili lived in the Yueguo Mansion, and he had already been shouted.

From beginning to end, no one mentioned Cui Yao's name, they were all smart people, and they knew that Kou Jiuhui must have another channel to contact Yang Chong; Wang Gong arrived soon, and he was stunned after hearing the situation, and then smiled: "Coincidentally, Nanyang's latest battle report said that Cui Mingan was arrested in Dengzhou. ”

Not long after Cheng Yanjin sat down, he heard the neighing of war horses on the street, and there were bursts of neat footsteps; The city was in turmoil all night, and from the patio, fires lit up the night sky, and even two explosions were heard. But by dawn, Chang'an City still opened the city gate as usual, but all the soldiers guarding the city were replaced by Zuo Yiwei's people; The barracks and doors of the right guards were closed, and no one could be seen entering or leaving.

Yuan Wei, Yang Wang, Yu Wenkai, and Cui Kaiyuan all came to the Yue Guo Mansion early in the morning, Cui Yao said that he was not feeling well, and Yuan Xianren came forward to receive the four people; Yu Wenkai said directly: "Brother and sister, even if Yang Chong is aware of it, it is impossible to evaluate every participant, but Chang'an can't wait for Yang Chong's reply, brother and sister, the people involved in the turmoil must still react, some things must be decided immediately, you have an idea." ”

Yuan Xiren smiled indifferently and said: "Yang Chong likes to do things according to the law, so it is better for several adults to form a team to try this case." ”

Cui Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the Yuan family did not fall into the ground, and immediately bowed his head and said: "The second lady is reasonable, we discussed before, and the three people who gave the matter Huangmen Shilang Wang Shuyu, Chang'an County Cheng Zhuge Jiahui, and Huangfu Yudao, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, were responsible for this case, but it was a little difficult to handle the specific selection of the people to be implemented below." ”

Wang Gong stepped forward and saluted Cui Kaiyuan and said, "The lower official recommends a candidate." Yue Guogong has been looking for judicial talents, and after the recommendation of Gaochang County Shou Dai Xuan, Wannian County Law Cao Sun Fujia was recognized by Yue Guogong, just waiting for Guogong to come back and transfer, I don't know if I can let him participate in the trial? ”

Yuan Wei secretly screamed, no wonder Yang Chong took Pei Shouzhen and Hao Ying, leaving Wang Gong, a young man, to take care of the house, and he was indeed responsible; Yang Wang agreed: "Sun Fujia is a good candidate, I recommend one more person, Feng Deyi, a member of the Inner History House, he is proficient in law and government affairs, and compiling history can not be completed in a day or two, it can be delayed for a few days." ”

Everyone agreed, and Yu Wenkai recommended Niu Hong's third son, Niu Fangzhi; Niu Hong's eldest son Niu Fangda died young, and the second son Niu Fangyu followed Yu Wenhua and killed the king, and now in Dou Jiande's prison, only the third son Niu Fangzhi has been in Chang'an, doing a Fengli Lang from Jiupin.

Kou Jiuhui had already arrived, and he consciously waited for everyone to talk about it before he walked into the conference hall and reported the main people he had caught, including Pei Xizai, Wei Yijie, Dongfang Ju, Wei Kun, and Zhang Jian, 19 people, and some officers were implicated, according to preliminary confessions, most of them wanted to support Yang Yu as emperor. Yang Wang praised a few words, and simply asked people to bring Wang Shuju, Zhuge Jiahui, Huangfu Yudao, Sun Fujia, Feng Deyi, and Niu Fangzhi to explain the case face to face.

Huangfu Yudao was already sixty years old, his face was thin, and he asked: "Do we decide the case independently?" ”

Yang Wang replied affirmatively: "According to the law of the Great Sui, the case will be handled independently, but the final judgment must be approved by Shangshu Province." ”

Wang Shujie was afraid that Huangfu Yudao would lose his temper and get entangled in these details, so he hurriedly said: "That's for sure, what we say doesn't count." Sun Fujia, Niu Fangzhi, you first follow Kou Shilang to hand over the suspects, Lord Huangfu, Lord Zhuge and Lord Feng, you select the good hands and scribes who handle the case from the Criminal Department and Jingzhao County; Lord Yuan, Lord Yang, Dali Temple is empty anyway, so it is better for us to work there. ”

Yuan Wei and the others put their minds at ease, Wang Shujie was still ready to do things, not afraid of the burden on his body, Yuan Wei immediately arranged for someone to clean the Dali Temple, and the official temporarily borrowed people from the army. Kou Jiuhui is not worried about the process of the trial, but is worried about the involvement of the Boling Cui clan, as well as the handling of Yang Yu, once someone makes a fuss in it, it is a tricky matter; After Kou Jiuhui discussed with Yuan Xiren and Jiang Duo, he sent Yang Chong an eight-hundred-mile express horse urgency.
