In Chang'an City, a heavy snow fell and dyed the city white.

In a tavern in Heshengfang, there were not many people who didn't have a meal, and the bartender brought the two pots of wine to Donggong Lang in front of the case of Qiaogongshan and Zhu Erhuan.

"Damn, this kind of freezing weather makes our brothers go to send military supplies, Lao Tzu hasn't done it since the army, I'm really fucking fed up", Qiao Gongshan scolded after a pot of wine.

"Yes, eldest brother, the younger brother is now in the army, this month's salary is distributed, and even the money to buy charcoal after buying rice is not enough, and the children in this winter can't just drink porridge, those officials and old men are fucking drinking with their concubines in the warm pavilion" Zhu Erhuan also scolded.

As soon as the tavern door opened, a cold wind suddenly came in with snowflakes, blowing the two of them to shrink their necks, only to see a fat man about forty years old with a cloak on his shoulders walking in.

The fat man arched his hand at the two of them directly before the case of the two, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to the bartender who came over and said, "Scald this bottle of wine, be quick!" After saying that, he threw a string of copper coins at the bartender.

The bartender took the bottle and poured the wine into the retort, and a rich aroma of wine broke through the cold air, causing the drinkers in the store to swallow. When the wine was brought to this person, Qiao Gongshan's eyes never left the bottle of wine.

"Two, it's fate to meet, you're welcome" After the fat man finished speaking, he pushed the wine retort in front of the two, and a glass of wine went down, and the two praised it: "Good wine!" ”

After a while, after drinking this bottle of wine, the fat man smiled and said to the two: "If the two of you believe it, I will wait for another place to taste this wine slowly, I want to ask the two for help."

The two glanced at each other, Qiao Gongshan thought for a while and said, "Go!" I'm two poor soldiers, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to do anything."

The fat man paid for the wine for the two, went out of the door and got into the carriage to the private room of a luxurious restaurant, and after the three of them sat down and served the wine and food, Zhu Erhuan asked the fat man: "Dare to ask this brother's surname?" ”

The fat man took another bottle of liquor from the box he was carrying and poured it for the two of them, and then said, "Under the eldest grandson Wuji."

Two days ago, Xiao Zheng handed Wang Hui's handwritten letter to Li Shimin and said that he had done it, and after Wang Zheng verified the regular transportation of ordnance by Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Erhuan, Li Shimin gathered several people to discuss, and Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "You can do it" .......

In the private room, there are two small boxes on the desk, and dozens of silver cakes and a few land deeds are inside.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the two who had been drunk and said with a smile: "Although the two generals can rest assured, if the two generals want to continue to serve in the army after the matter is completed, they can listen to the order under the account of the Qin Wangfu, if the two will like to be incognito and be a farmer, we also fully support, these small gifts are also invited to the two of them to laugh, and I will give two bottles of wine to each of them here for the wine that the two drank just now."

At this time, Qiao Gongshan said with a big tongue: "Mr. Changsun, it is rare that you still think so thoroughly, and look up to the rough men in our two armies so much. Just rush to the heart of the Qin Palace, don't say that we are fine, even if there is something, our brothers will do their best to do this well, rest assured ......."

"Then my eldest grandson Wuji will toast the two of you with a glass, and wish the two of them success ........"

Three days later, Lang of the Prince's East Palace transported military rations to Gyeongju by Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Erhuan, and when they passed through Bonju, the two suddenly found the Taishou Dou Rail of Bonju, saying that the prince had built a smuggling weapon to Gyeongju, and said that Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, colluded with the East Palace to privately store soldiers in Gyeongju, and received the Donggong military equipment to plot rebellion, and the two did not want to be embarrassed with it, so they went to defend themselves.

After finishing speaking, he took Dou Liang to the outside of the mansion, and saw the front of the convoy escorted by the two, and after opening the packaged linen, it was full of knives, guns, bows and arrows, and there was no customs clearance document issued by the Ministry of War. At that time, Dou Liang was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and hurriedly detained this group of people for a while to eat and drink well, and on the other hand, he sent people to Chang'an to deliver the letter.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan was discussing with the ministers of the court, and the palace suddenly came with a six-hundred-mile expedited express, and when the chamberlain handed the letter to Li Yuan, Li Yuan looked at the letter a little inexplicable, and the express horse from Fengzhou to Chang'an arrived in one day, and he still needed to rush six hundred miles?

When he opened the emergency report and read it, his hand holding the paper suddenly trembled, his face turned red, and he swept the things on the bookcase with a bang, and shouted, "I'm angry!" Then he fell straight back.

The ministers in the palace suddenly made a big uproar, and the first assistant Pei Lin ran forward to help Li Yuan, grabbed the middle of the people and shouted at a eunuch: "Go and call the imperial doctor!" ”。

Everyone rescued a lot of people before Li Yuan opened his eyes, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he sat up again. When he saw Pei Lin clearly, he pointed to the ground and reported urgently, Pei Lin lowered his head and picked it up, and suddenly shouted: "Yang Wengan colluded with the East Palace to rebel!" ”

Li Yuan coughed for a while and said, "Go, pass the prince into the palace, go quickly!" ”

Li Jiancheng had already heard the wind on the road, and after he entered the hall, he knelt directly on the ground and cried at Li Yuan: "Aya, the son is wronged, please the saint to investigate."

Li Yuan angrily pointed at Li Jiancheng and shouted: "Mingcha! Do you still need to see it? Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Erhuan are people in your house, and everyone on the scene has seized stolen goods, and you dare to quibble! ”。

"Aye, someone must be trying to frame Erchen, please think about it," Li Jiancheng knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice.

"Fengzhou Taishou Dou Rail is your cousin, he still needs to take refuge in anyone, you are a fool to me" Li Yuan threw the urgent report in front of Li Jiancheng.

Seeing that Li Yuan's anger had subsided slightly, Pei Lian, the Duke of Wei, stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Sage Mingjian, it is not impossible for Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Erhuan to be instructed by others to privately set off with weapons to frame the prince."

"Why did you say that?" Li Yuan glanced at Pei Lin unhappily and said.

Pei Lin arched his hand at Li Yuan again and said: "Sage, this matter is very important, the minister thinks that this matter should be investigated in detail, if the prince and Yang Wengan seduce and rebel, you can send an order to recruit Yang Wengan to enter the court to accept your questioning in person, and you will know when Yang Wengan enters Beijing."

"The ministers seconded the proposal, please give the prince a chance to clarify," Wei Zheng bowed down with the courtiers of the prince's department and said.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Biography: The prince is immoral, he is confined to the palace, and if there is a violator, there will be no forgiveness." In addition, Yang Wengan was urgently summoned into the palace to confront him, and I wanted to find out."

Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, was also at a loss in the province at this time, and he also got the news that Qiao Gongsan and Zhu Er were against the water. He did a very secret job of hiding weapons and private soldiers for Donggong, but in the past two days, I don't know what happened, and the entire Gyeongju City is known to everyone.

What's more, many people talk about this in the wine shop and teahouse, as if they saw it, and many of the situations they say are really similar to the facts. After finishing speaking, he also added a sentence that in a few days, the saint will issue an order to come to Gyeongju and put him to death.

Distraught, Yang Wengan, who has always advocated Taoism, suddenly remembered the Jiuyang Temple not far from his mansion, and heard that there was a Taoist fortune-telling technique in the temple recently, and it was almost all the hexagrams. I've been busy with official business and haven't had a chance to go, so why not go and see it at this time.

Thinking of this, I brought two pro-soldiers to change into civilian clothes and went directly to the temple, only to find that there were really a lot of people who came to divination, and some people who came out of the temple also chattered that they were really living immortals.

Patiently, it was his turn to go in, and when he looked up, he saw a forty-year-old Dao sitting behind the case, and there was a little Taoist boy standing solemnly with a stick holder in his hand, and behind him was the statue of Lao Jun, giving people a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

Yang Wengan gave the Taoist priest a salute, and the Taoist priest said, "What do you ask for?" ”。

"When I come down and ask about the future, I ask the governor to point it out."

The Taoist priest didn't speak again, took out the yarrow, let Yang Wengan smoke one and began to arrange the hexagram, and after the arrangement, he asked Yang Wengan to go to the statue of Laojun to light the incense, and then went to the lottery holder to draw a stick, and after reading the divination, he took a piece of yellow mounted paper and folded it and handed it to Yang Wengan and said: "Take it home and see it, don't reveal it to others."

Yang Wengan took it with both hands and said, "Thank you Immortal Chief."

When I opened it at home, I saw that the paper read: "This is a dragon species, and if you go south, you will die, and if you call the king, you will live."

Yang Wen was stunned for a moment, he was a member of the Yang royal family of the previous dynasty, and it was impossible for Lao Dao to know. This southward journey must be going to Chang'an, thinking of Li Yuan's execution of Dou Jiande, Yang Wengan felt a chill in his heart.

Does this mean that you want me to rebel, thinking about it, Yang Wengan was silent.

The next morning, the guards came to report that the envoys of Chang'an had come to the palace to preach the will of the sage, and after the ceremony was completed, the inner servant only had one sentence: "Yang Wengan, the governor of Qingzhou, will enter Beijing quickly."

Sending off the chamberlain, Yang Wengan remembered yesterday's hexagram and the rumors in the city, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "It's still his mother's opposite, it's better than going to Chang'an City to send him to death."
