Yang Chongjin, the governor of the Western Regions, presented a jade pendant to Yang Guang, the son of heaven, and Shi Cuizhen, the governor of the governor's office, was sent to Jiangdu as a messenger, so that the Chang'an Left-behind Division, who had received the report in advance, was panicked; According to Yang Chong's temperament, things will never be simple, what is Cui Zhen's identity, the number two person in the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, he personally went out, either the jade pendant itself is very important, or it has another mission.

Guo Rong, the general who sat in Jincheng, was the founding minister of the country, and Emperor Wen's former guard, when he saw Peiyu, he immediately sent 500 cavalry to escort him, and asked the family general to take the secret letter of 800 miles to ride quickly, rush to Chang'an first, and then turn to Jiangdu. Xuan, the guard left behind in Chang'an, asked Guo Rong's explanation clearly, and learned that he was not qualified to read the secret letter, so he immediately sent a hundred cavalry to escort the messenger to Jiangdu.

When Wei Xuan saw Cui Xuan, he inquired about the inside story, Cui Xuan waited for Wei Xuan to block everyone before he said lightly, when passing by Xijun, Yuan Wei said that the jade pendant was like the jade worn by Yang Guang, the son of heaven, when he was young. Yuan Wei was the bodyguard of Emperor Wen Yang Jian when he was young, and there was a chance that the old affairs of the Yang family would not be mistaken, and Wei Xuan was drunk that night.

Subsequently, along the way, the government received orders from Jiangdu, and all localities must ensure that the jade pendant is sent to Jiangdu without damage; Later, there was no news, and Yang Guang, the son of heaven, did not say anything when he received the jade pendant, as if nothing had happened, but Empress Xiao sent Shangyi to serve Xiao Jing to Chang'an. Xiao Jing saw Wei Xuan and Wei Jin had only one expression, which was to kill Yang Chong; Wei Jin actually inquired more clearly, the jade pendant belonged to Yang Guang, and Yang Chong, who offered the jade, didn't say where he got it.

Because of this weirdness, all actions against Yang Chong have now stopped, and the people of the Cui family gathered in Chang'an, waiting for the news of Cui Zhen who went to Jiangdu; Xiao Jing jumped out in a hurry at this time, which made Wei Xuan and Wei Jin more and more suspicious. Xiao Jing could only take out Empress Xiao's edict in the end, and Wei Xuan muttered: "Since Empress Yi decreed, I sent Zhou Qian to be in charge of this matter, and Lord Wei Jie was in the Western Regions, so I could secretly send someone to inform him and let him go back to Hexi to respond." ”

Wei Jin objected: "This matter is best resolved by the people of the rivers and lakes." ”

As a minister, he is most afraid of being involved in the battle related to the royal family, whether he can kill Yang Chong or not, this matter will definitely attract the investigation of Hexi and the center in the end, Wei Jin doesn't want to ruin the Wei family for the Xiao family. Xiao Jing saw the bottom line of the two, and said without surprise: "Empress Xiao has mobilized the masters of the rivers and lakes, and only needs Lord Wei and Zhou Qian to provide Yang Chong's whereabouts, and some things will be covered up." Succeed in the king's defeat, the Wei family can't bet on the wrong treasure. ”

Becoming a king and defeating a king, this is also what a few scholars such as the Xiao family in Lanling dare to say, the Southern Dynasty Song Qi Liang Chen, half of which is the Xiao family as the emperor, and the Wei family is brilliant, and the background in this regard is a big difference; Wei Jin could only promise to send a letter to Wei Jie and Wei Yuanzhao, whether the two were willing to Wei Jin not pack the ticket. Xiao Jing didn't tell the two that the Xiao family had been sending people to contact the Fearless Sect and the Chongxuan Palace, and this time Empress Xiao agreed to all the requests of the two sects, just to kill Yang Chong.

Cui Zhen did not return to Chang'an, and once again served as the long history of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and lived in a simple place, most of the people of the Cui family transferred to Luoyang, and only Cui Jun and Xie Hong went to Zhangye to visit Yang Chong. Yang Chong set up a banquet at home to entertain the two, Jiang Fei, Kou Jiuhui, Zhang Guolao, and Yu Yu accompanied each other, and everyone drank and talked happily; Half-drunk, Xie Hong first said what he meant, and Qi Hui was about to send Yuan Dao Chang and Xie Hong to Hexi to take charge of Louguan Dao, hoping to reveal the past.

Yang Chong drank wine, without the slightest drunkenness, his eyes were as clear as water, he looked at Xie Hong and asked, "Can you tell me the reason why Master Yuan Hui wants to kill me?" ”

Yang Chong was not angry, Xie Hong secretly praised it, a bit of a politician's shamelessness, and replied with a smile on his face: "We also just figured out that Yuan Hui's lover is Gui Bird, although he hates it to the bone, he also loves it deeply, you are the one who designed to kill Gui Bird, Yuan Hui naturally wants to kill you for revenge." ”

Yang Chong's mind moved, and he asked, "Hou Mo Chen Yi was also killed by Yuan Hui Shitai?" ”

Xie Hong smiled and praised: "Mr. Yang is in charge of his sensitive mind, Yuan Hui knows that Hou Mo Chen Yi is the head of the Chijin Turks, and he does not have the same magnanimity and pattern as you, so he led people to secretly lurk in Yanmen County, waiting for an opportunity. It wasn't until the Turkic army came to kill and Hou Mo Chen Yi fled to Shanggu with his henchmen that Yuan Hui found an opportunity to slash the enemy. ”

Yang Chong thought about it, and stopped talking; Jiang Fei said in a low voice: "I told my master that Hou Mo Chen Yi is the head of the Chijin Turks. The master promised to write off our accounts. ”

Kou Jiuhui immediately shouted: "Jiang Fei, this is your fault, how can you make your own claims, Yang Chong is the head of the family, just like you, it's not all messed up." ”

It was revealed that Hou Mo Chen Yi was the head of the Chijin Turks, and later became a potential ally with Yang Chong, so Hou Mo Chen Yi's matter was not Yang Chong's family matter, and it was related to the layout of Hexi; But Kou Jiuhui is so sideways, Yang Chong is really hard to say. It's just that at this moment, Yang Chong has a trace of trouble and vigilance, it is not a good thing for either party to be strong; People, there are always closeness and distantness, and there are human debts that have to be repaid.

Xie Hong didn't want Yang Chong to have a bad opinion of Lou Guan Dao, so he said politely: "Manager Yang, there is one more thing that Qi Hui taught me to come, under the current situation, Lou Dao Guan can transport 1,000 catties of tea to Zhangye every month. ”

Yang Chong smiled knowingly, this is Qi Hui's compensation, but even Xie Hong may not know how close Qi Hui and Li Yuan are; Yang revered Xie Hong with a glass of wine and said: "I only have one request, the people in Hexi are registered in Louguandao, and everything else is easy to say." If Daoist Xie doesn't return to Chang'an, how about the monks and Taoist priests in charge of the governor's mansion with Master Cankun, the two of you have official positions on the left and on the right, and the power is equal. ”

Xie Hong understood that Yang Chong was saying that the monks and Taoists were equal, and if he refused, Yang Chong would not blame, but if there was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the future, Yang Chong would definitely not care; So Xie Hong's wine glass agreed before he could put it down. Kou Jiuhui reacted immediately, Yang Chong was worried that other people would be mixed in with the people who came from Louguandao, no wonder the master Zhang Guolao kept saying that the time for preaching had not yet arrived.

Cui Hongsu picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Yang Chong, now that the Cui family's business is no longer under my control, I can't help you like Daochang Xie, but I bring someone, he can help you." ”

"Who?" Yang Chong was very curious, Cui Hongsu didn't bring his entourage, could it be that he secretly entered Zhangye; Who knew that after Cui Hongsu and Yang Chong finished drinking, they pointed to themselves and said, "I, how is it?" ”

Yang Chong was taken aback, stared at Cui Hongsu and said, "What are you kidding, how can my small temple accommodate you, a great god." ”
