Zhang Jin understood that his expedition this time might be the last expedition in his life, how could he let go of this kind of opportunity, and said with a smile: "The old man is bankrupt, and he will make up this money." ”

Everyone laughed, Zhang Jin was a general during the great career, and his worth of 100,000 yuan was definitely more than that, how could he go bankrupt, Yang Gongqing, Xu Shiji, Cui Shu and others were either strong or have a solid family, and I am afraid that only Liu Deyu is really difficult; Even if Cheng bites the gold, he can also adjust to the Pei family. Zheng Yuancong and others agreed, Liu Deyu also agreed, and Yang Chong personally wrote two letters to Xu Shiji and Wang Yaohan to explain the situation; Zhang Xingcheng went to the Ministry of Literature and Household and asked to send an experienced person to assist.

For Yuan Hongshan, Yang Chong praised two sentences, but he didn't say anything, Right Yiwei still has hidden dangers, and it is not suitable to move people now, and it can't be moved. When Yang Chong was leaving, he told everyone that the most important thing to pay attention to in the long-term garrison is the other party's bribery of the officers and soldiers under him, so military discipline must be strict, and if something is wrong, he must make a decision immediately, and he must not be soft; Yang Chong said half-jokingly: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of anyone." ”

Zhang Jin, Cui Shu and others are all veterans of officialdom, so it will not be clear that the day Yang Chong arrived in Chang'an is the beginning of a series of big moves, this time Yang Chong took Shi Daqian and Yang Gongqing's army back to Chang'an, so that almost all the generals in Chang'an were Yang Chong's cronies. Yang Gongqing was originally the first general under Wang Shichong, and he defected to Yang Chong as soon as the two armies started the war, and he was obviously a chess piece that Yang Chong had laid out for a long time.

The unexpected benefit of Yang Chong's collection of troops from Luoyang was that after Du Fuwei, Ding Shuze, and Lu Zushang relaxed their nerves, they all sent people to contact them to discuss the matter of annexation; The eight-hundred-mile express was faster than Yang Chong's return to the division, and he had already crossed Tongguan and arrived in Chang'an one step ahead, making Shangshutai a place of jubilation. Knowing that Yang Chong's army was coming, Yuan Wei and Yang Wang discussed, and decided to take people outside the city to greet them.

Nanyang Princess Yang Ciyou was more anxious than ever, and she was about to wash her face with tears, Cui Mingan and others were escorted to Chang'an in a prisoner car, and even Yang Qi and Yang Shidao were not released; Due to the letters of Pei Xizai and others found in Li Yuan's palace, Li Jiancheng's prince's mansion, and Cui Mingan's residence to testify, Sun Fujia, Feng Deyi, and Niu Fangzhi positioned the case of Yang Yu's reinstatement as colluding with Li Tang to subvert the Great Sui, and as for supporting Yang Yu, it was just a cover for a mutiny.

Such an interpretation is very unfavorable to the participants of the incident, and even more unfavorable to Yang Yun, who abdicated twice, if there is evidence that Yang Yu wants to make a comeback with the help of Li Yuan's strength, it is a question of whether Yang Yu can survive. Yang Yu has been locked up, and no one is allowed to visit, it is obvious that Wang Shuju, Zhuge Jiahui, and Huangfu Yudao don't want to make a big deal about it, and they can't make any more moths until Yang Chong and the center discuss the results.

Yang Ciyou looked for the Wei family, Cui Yao, and Yang Tong, but they were all closed; In the end, King Cai Yang Zhiji asked people to pass a message, don't toss, when the case is clear, he will ask Yang Chong for a favor. Yang Ciyou didn't believe that Cai Wang Yang Zhiji had much face in front of Yang Chong, so he could only be half-convinced; According to the information that has been revealed now, Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai, is an accomplice of Yang Chong, and because of Yang Chong's strategy, he survived from his father Yang Guang and the traitor Yu Wenhua.

When Yang Ciyou heard that Yang Chong was back, he immediately wanted to go to Yang Chong, but was stopped by Gongsun Huilan, who said very bluntly: "Today, Nayan Yuanwei monk Zuo Cheng Yang Wang led the six Shangshu to welcome the return of the army in the Shili Changting, there must be something to talk about between them, Yang Chong has to go home to gather at night, it is better to visit the Yueguo Mansion during the day tomorrow, anyway, Yang Yu's matter will not be settled in a day or two." ”

But what caught the two off guard was that Li Tang's Huai'an County King Li Shentong, Gao Shilian in the servant, Chen Shuda in Nayan, Pei Xi, the secretary and supervisor, and Dou Cong, the general of the Right Tun Guard, were killed; Eleven Li Tang officials, including Wen Daya, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and Yang Shidao, the commander of the horses, were sentenced in the afternoon, and they were severely beaten and exiled to Gaochang, and the two women were stunned, and the teacups in their hands fell to the ground and shattered.

Gongsun Huilan hurriedly ran out to inquire, and only in the evening did she find out the details from Yang Daoxuan, the son of King Cai, and came to see Yang Ciyou with Yang Daoxuan. I heard that except for Yang Qi, who had already escaped, Cui Mingan was involved in the case of Yang Yu's reinstatement, and all the other Li and Tang ministers were exiled for 3,000 miles, confiscated their family property, and the whole family was enslaved and could not be redeemed. Yang Ciyou's heart immediately caught fire, and he scolded irritably: "Who does he think Yang Chong is, he can do whatever he wants." ”

Yang Daoxuan thought about it and said: "Yang Chong has no way to retreat in this matter, Cui Mingan and others are relying on the identity of Gao Di to carry Yang Chong to the death, to see if Yang Chong dares to kill or not; Yang Chong didn't dare to kill, but the method was even more desperate, that is, they would be worse off than dead, their families would not be exiled and directly reduced to slavery in the local area, the men would do labor, and the women would enter the music workshop, and no matter the old people and children, they were not allowed to redeem. After hearing that the 11 people were sentenced, more than 20 Li Tang officials immediately took the initiative to confess their crimes, because they did not want to harm their families. ”

Yang Ciyou was chilled, Yang Chong was deliberately hitting the face of the Shi clan, without discrimination, killing ghosts and killing Buddhas when encountering ghosts; The only way for others to slap Yang Chong in the face is to start with Cui Mingan, that is, to implement the charges of 19 people, including Pei Xizai, Wei Yijie, Dongfang Ju, Wei Kun, and Zhang Jian, and then see if the 19 lives will fight for a single life.

Yang Ciyou instantly understood why Yang Chong didn't claim the throne, no matter how big something happened, he was just a left servant who shot the Duke of Yue, and he didn't even need to issue an edict. Obviously, Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, those old foxes have long understood this, and it is expected that Yang Chong and the gate valve will have a vicious battle, so they pretend to be deaf and dumb and enjoy life leisurely, no wonder Yang Chong swept half of the country, and there are countless shrewd people under him, and no one has come out to persuade Yang Chong to be the king and emperor.

Cui Mingan defected to Li Yuan and asked Pei Xizai to make trouble in Chang'an just to push Yang Chong into a desperate situation, and asked Yang Chong to bow to the gate valve before becoming a climate; It's a pity that Yang Chong's military exploits are invincible, and on a trip to the east, Li Yuan was driven to the Han River to fight with Liang Wang Xiao Milling, and Wang Shichong's 200,000 army was wiped out, leaving only a city in Luoyang. Yang Chong negotiated peace with Wang Shichong, and hurried back, thinking that he could disclose his attitude, even if all the five surnames and seven hopes left, it was a big deal to rely on Jiang Duo, Yang Gongqing and others to make a comeback.

Suddenly, Yang Ciyou felt that he was deeply powerless, and both parties were not worth relying on; Yang Daoxuan said softly: "Yang Chong deliberately left a gap, and that is Cui Mingan. The princess must not rush after others, it is not one human life, but twenty human lives, two hundred human lives, or even more; Most of the people who went to Gaochang are unlikely to come back, and the officials have already ordered Gaochang and are not allowed to use commutation without authorization. ”
