The next day, as soon as the martial law order was lifted, the gate of the provincial government was crowded with people, the magnates of Chang'an were not stupid, they forced Yang Yu and Wei Xuan to kill so many people from the Hongnong Yang family, and running to find Yang Wang was no different from sending him to death, and now he only relied on Yuan Wei to come forward, after all, the Yuan family has always been the gate valve of Chang'an, the leader of the Guanlong family, there is no reason not to save him at this time. I heard that Cui Mingan was appointed as the pacification envoy of Hebei and lived with Liu Ruyan, and there was constant scolding in the crowd.

The officials of Menxia Province couldn't stop shaking their heads, the Hexi army has been in the city for a few months, and Yang Chong has occupied most of Henan in one go, and these powerful nobles are still flattering Li Yuan, aren't they looking for something to do. In the innermost office room, the room was full of tea, Yuan Wei sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the case reports that kept coming, and asked the Huangfu Yu on the other side: "Such a big action, you didn't get any news in advance?" ”

Huangfu Yudao shook his head tiredly, Luan Ying, Liu Yidan and a group of characters who thought they had died early appeared in various yamen to recognize people, which brought a huge impact on Huangfu Yudao's psychology; Huangfu said hoarsely: "The secrecy work is well done, our criminal department didn't know that Xing Ruyan was caught, and Zhuge Jiahui also just knew that Xin Dade, the commander of Chang'an County, and Xu Kang, the commander of Wannian County, were all Yang Chong's people, so Jiang Duo and Kou Jiuheng arranged everything through the two county offices." ”

The Hexi Army entered Chang'an and promoted its own heroes, Yang Chong's intelligence network in Chang'an surfaced, and the three most critical people, Xu Kang served as the county commander of Wannian, Mu Xinyan served as the general of the prison gate, and Jiao Jun served as the Sima of Zuo Yiwei. Yuan Wei pondered for a while and asked: "Yang Chong is now short of military spending, could it be that he just wants to make a lot of money." ”

"It's not." Huangfu Yudao has been in the Criminal Department for decades and has rich experience in handling cases, so he said with certainty: "Xiao Jing and they should be detected in Chang'an, and Yue Guogong wants to force the other party out through this means." Judging from the case report, Yue Guogong succeeded, Li Yuan, Cui Mingan, Wang Kai, Quentiange, and Xiao's intelligence network was fragmented, and after Xing Ruyan fled Chang'an, so many Tiankou Jiuheng did not move, it is easy for people to think that Xing Ruyan was hiding, many people did not evacuate, and even some people came to Chang'an to contact, which is tantamount to looking for death. ”

Yuan Wei agreed: "Li Yuan still wants to rescue Chen Shuda and them. ”

Huangfu Yudao hurriedly corrected and said: "My lord misunderstood, Li Yuan wanted them to die, and then made a fuss by using the death of his subordinates, Yue Guogong is now startling the snake, but he doesn't plan to give Li Yuan this opportunity, and he will have the upper hand in the public opinion war in the future." According to the following officials, Yue Guogong has always done things with a purpose, and those who will not move outside the door are at most knocking and knocking. ”

As the two were talking, Liu Yao came in with the "Chang'an Daily", Liu Yao was Yang Chong's old subordinate when he was the host and guest in the Ministry of Rites, neither like Fang Yiwu, who followed Yang Chong with all his heart, and now he is a county guard; did not stand on the opposite side of Yang Chong like Chen Kui, and was finally exiled and ended. Liu Yao has been staying in the Ministry of Rites, Li Tang lost his errand, after the Hexi Army entered the city, Yang Chong heard that Liu Yao was idle, so he transferred Liu Yao to Menxia Province to be the main officer, from the official rank under the eighth grade.

Liu Yaogong respectfully put the Chang'an Daily in front of Yuan Wei, it was the latest issue, Yuan Wei swept it at a glance, and the article on the front page turned out to be written by Yang Chong himself, and he couldn't help but wonder when Yang Chong liked to write articles. Yuan Wei took a closer look, and the article refuted the doctrine of destiny advocated by Li Delin and Wang Shao, believing that "the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world." Those who benefit from the same world will gain the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world. ”

Although Yuan Wei was born in Xianbei, he read poetry and books, and knew that this was Wu Taozhong's argument, which was originally the statement that the gate valve suppressed the imperial power, and paid attention to "the sky is sometimes, the earth has wealth, and those who can share it with others are benevolent." Where benevolence is, the world returns". Since Yang Chong did not fake someone else's hands and went into battle directly, then there must be a meaning; Yuan Wei read it slowly, until he finished reading it, and finally understood what Yang Chong meant, this was written for Li Baiyao, or for the Li family of Zhaojun.

Li Baiyao is not only the leader of the Li generation of Zhaojun, but also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites under Du Fuwei's account, and can rank among the top five figures in the Jianghuai Army; Li Baiyao was deeply influenced by his father Li Delin and Wang Shao, and believed that "the emperor's artifact has a return to history", judging from the reflection of the envoy sent by Du Fuwei and Li Jing, Li Baiyao is still inclined to read the book and Weiwei, thinking that Li Tang is the hope of the world, and the connection with Chang'an is still the strong proposition of Fu Gongyou.

Yang Chong expounded a new point of view in the article, the productive forces determine the economic level, and the economic level determines the stability and longevity of a regime, and only the common people can live and work in peace and contentment to maintain the stability of the country; Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it was only when the people were struggling to make a living that the country was shaken and the world was in chaos, so in today's situation of competing for the deer, we should not talk about the mandate of heaven, and it is the most urgent need to let the people settle down.

From a politician's point of view, Yang Chong seems to be too idealistic, but Yuan Wei is experienced and spicy, and he literally sees Yang Chong's true intention, which is to be different, different from Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others, and attract ordinary people in those war-torn areas to defect; According to the operation of the Hexi Army in the past few years, Yuan Wei knew that although the increase in population increased the government's expenditure in a short period of time, it would have a stable return after a year and a half.

After reading it, Yuan Wei smiled and handed the newspaper to Huangfu Yudao, after reading it, Huangfu Yudao said with understanding: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, Yue Guogong is attacking the heart, by the way, laying the foundation for the next things, it seems that the afternoon meeting, some mysteries are about to be revealed." ”

Liu Yao saw that Yuan Wei withdrew without orders, Yuan Wei and Huangfu Yudao discussed the matter, and at noon, the two got into the carriage from the side door and went to the meeting hall of the left-behind division for a meeting. None of the people at the front door met him, and Yuan Wei was a little embarrassed, so he simply didn't see him today, and he would wait for the meeting of the left-behind division to finish.

As soon as the two walked into the office area of the left-behind division, they smelled the aroma of food, and after Yang Chong entered Chang'an, all yamen in Chang'an now provide working meals, and there are standards according to the rank of officials. The canteen could not accommodate everyone, and many petty officials and officials ate under the corridor outside the office room; However, the high-level officials all know that the chefs of each yamen have good and bad skills, and the canteen dishes of the left-behind division are the best.

As soon as Yang Chong entered Chang'an, he encouraged the people to raise pigs and took the lead in eating pork, which was a food that the magnates looked down on and entered the official yamen, but Yang Chong did not force the officials to eat pork, and specially transferred ten cooks who were good at making pork from Fengle Liquor Store to the canteen of the left-behind department, and the canteen still provided mutton.
