Chapter 146: Ability
Yang Chong applauded: "What a wonderful story. ”
Tuoba Bo waved his hand and said, "Your story should be more exciting than what I said, but have you ever thought that these craftsmen would also fall into the hands of others, and even if the people of our Sui Hantang have a clue, they will not report it." ”
Yang Chong glanced at Cui Hongdu and said to Tuobabo: "We don't have to go around the bend, I can tell you that the people of the caravan have already left the Central Plains, and no one has left." The problem with your Sui Hantang is chaos, you and Mr. Zhu are actually not in control anymore, after Yu Zhiben's accident, who is in control of the situation? Which knife is hard, there are many people, and it is the boss. ”
Tuoba Bo was a little angry, and retorted: "Sui Hantang is an institution of the Great Sui, how can there be such a mess? ”
Yang Chong asked: "Then you should have a person, or a place, to store the information of all of you, even if it is an important undercover agent, it will leave a code name, and a small number of records of evaluation, reward, and punishment." Don't say no, if you don't have a secret file, how can you confirm your identity when you return? How can you continue to work when your boss is dead? ”
Later spy war films are like this, countless secrets have been leaked in the archives, and many agents have revealed their identities because of a few words on a piece of paper. Tuoba Bo hesitated for a long time and said, "These should be in Pei Gong's hands." ”
Yang Chong sneered: "Of course, it is in Pei Ju's hands, otherwise he and Changsun Sheng will hand over something, now as long as Pei Ju does not tell the truth, no one will be able to find out the truth." You are afraid of Pei Ju, afraid that he will burn all the jade, so you will leave Gaochang on the eve of the war; But you still have a fluke mentality, and I hope that Pei Ju can pull you and investigate me again. With such a head rat at both ends, even if the head of the Cui family comes forward, what can he say for you? ”
Li Baiyao sighed, Yang Chong's words had already torn Tuobabo's face to shreds, and Li Baiyao opened his mouth to persuade: "Yang Chong, Tuoba Bo just wants to communicate with you about the situation and see if he can find another way." ”
Yang Chong's face turned blue and said: "Pei Ju is a madman, obsessed with personal gains and losses, but you always want him to be a person who thinks about the country, so you can only fall deeper and deeper." I don't care what years of Hantang or Chijin Turks, as long as they dare to provoke me, I will call them come and go; I know that you have never been able to let go of Li Delin's affairs, Tuoba Bo wants revenge, Li Baiyao, you are disheartened, so you study the so-called destiny, thinking that God only gives it to you, and the efforts of the day after tomorrow are useless. ”
Li Baiyao was completely stunned, pointing at Yang Chong speechless; Cui Hongdu hurriedly reprimanded: "Yang Chong, don't be rude, a hundred medicines are a great Confucian in the world, how can you talk nonsense." ”
Tuoba Bo stepped forward and forced Yang Chong to look, if it weren't for Yang Chong's lack of martial arts, the Cui family brothers were beside him, and Tuoba Bo smashed Yang Chong's head with one punch earlier; Li Baiyao grabbed Tuoba Bo, took a breath and said, "Senior brother, your guess is wrong, there is no one behind Yang Chong, there is no conspiracy, and his most clever thing is physiognomy." Brother Fool made a fool of himself just now, that is, Yang Chong said what I thought in my heart, I was writing a book on this subject, and I felt like I was being spied on for a while. ”
Li Baiyao is worthy of being a great Confucian, and this kind of bearing made Yang Chong suddenly lose his anger; Cui Hongdu and the three of them were stunned, if Yang Chong had this ability, then most things would make sense. Cui Hong spent a long time before he said, "You all go out, and I will talk to Yang Chong alone." ”
Li Baiyao stopped and said, "The head of the family, there is nothing to say to others. Baiyao swears by the Li family of Zhaojun here, and what he sees and says today will never be leaked to the public. ”
Li Baiyao is dull, and he will not let go of the opportunity in front of him, if there is the help of the Cui family and Yang Chong's physiognomy, the Li family may be able to find a way to rise; Tuoba Boneng is among the three friends of the old and cold, and he is naturally a scheming and cunning person, and he swore a poisonous oath with Li Baiyao. Cui Hongsu smiled at Yang Chong, he had the most contacts with Yang Chong, and he had already understood Yang Chong's unique vision, but he was the least surprised person in the room.
Cui Hongdu asked, "What do you think of Cui Yao's fate?" ”
Yang Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Family Master, do you really believe what Brother Baiyao said?" ”
Cui Hongdu still returned to normal, and said with a smile: "If you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, you should talk nonsense, and I will listen to a story." I promise you, as long as you are reasonable, from today onwards, my Cui family will fully support you, if you can let go of Jiang Fei, there will be no problem in getting married. ”
The Great Sui pays attention to the family, and the royal Yang family can only be regarded as a second-rate family, as the top five surnames and seven wangs, they are not willing to marry with the royal family, Cui Hongdu's statement is considered to be very powerful. Yang Chong arched his hand and begged for mercy: "The head of the family is serious, Jiang Fei and I are happy with each other, and we will get married in a few days." You are always valued, I will say a few nonsense, Miss Cui is still young now, she will meet a good couple within five years, and she is still a member of a famous family. ”
Cui Hongdu smiled and said, "Accept your auspicious words, if Cui Yao can't meet someone who is kind within five years, I will ask Hongsheng to send her to your house." ”
Li Baiyao secretly gave a thumbs up, Jiang was still old and spicy, Yang Chong was in the trap, Cui Hongdu didn't care about what Yang Chong said, but left the introduction to push Cui Yao to Yang Chong. Yang Chong only said a joke when Cui Hongdu said a joke, Cui Yao is a fulcrum of the current connection between the Cui family and the royal family, her marriage is not at all unilateral for the Cui family to call the shots, and after she and Jiang Fei get married, Cui Yao can only be a concubine, and no one in the Cui family or Yang Guang can afford to lose this face.
Cui Hongdu saw that Yang Chong's face was as usual, and continued to ask, "How about you look at Yang Yong, the king of Qi again?" ”
Yang Chong immediately understood that Cui Hongdu and Li Baiyao's intention to come to Chang'an was to lay out whether Yang Yong could be the prince. The battle for the storage position is second only to the emperor's battle, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front, the gate valve of the scholar clan will not give up, but unfortunately Yang Jin, the king of Qi, is a big bet of the Wei family, after the early death of Yang Jun's concubine Wei, the Wei family even allowed Yang Jin to have an affair with Concubine Wei's sister Yuan's wife, and gave birth to a daughter. Yang Chong paced a few steps, and suddenly felt blessed in his heart, and asked, "Isn't Concubine Wei dying?" ”
Cui Hongdu sighed and said, "Boy, after finishing speaking, from now on, your Yang Chong's business will be my Cui family's business." ”
Yang Chong said calmly: "The Wei family will not give you a chance, and it will be difficult for Yang Jun to get his wish." ”
Li Baiyao asked curiously: "The Son of Heaven has other choices, is he waiting for Yang Gao, the king of Zhao?" ”
Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, is the third son of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, born to Xiao Concubine, and the identity of Yang Hui, the king of Qi, is too far away; Yang Chong was silent for a long time and said: "The Son of Heaven does not want his descendants to kill each other in the battle for the imperial throne in the future, and he may not be appointed as a prince within ten years, and the efforts of the Wei family will only put the King of Qi in a difficult situation." ”
Cui Hongdu and Li Baiyao looked at each other, although what Yang Chong said was bizarre, it was the greatest possibility, although Emperor Yang of Sui was brutal, but it was impossible for father and son to be absent by nature. Cui Hongdu asked Li Baiyao: "Do you still want to go back and discuss with the old people." ”
Li Baiyao replied calmly: "The opportunity cannot be lost, I am willing to advance and retreat with the head of the family." ”
Tuoba Bo knew that he had no choice, and that he would be an accomplice when he heard this kind of secret, so he arched his hand and said: "From now on, I will be by the side of the head of the family, and I will no longer care about the affairs of the old hall." ”
Li Baiyao made a decision, immediately entered the role, and asked Yang Chong: "What will the Wei family do?" ”
Yang Chong smiled and asked, "What would Brother Baiyao do if he encountered this situation?" ”
Of course, it is to face the difficulties, if the Wei family takes a step back, they may be able to save it for a while, but the Holy Son of Heaven Yang Guang will never thank you, and Yang Jin, the king of Qi, will even remember the hatred of the Wei family, in case Yang Yong comes to run in the future and inherits the unification, the Wei family will be the end. On the other hand, helping King Qi Yang to fight, once successful, it will be countless benefits, and it is not impossible for the Wei family to become one of the five surnames and seven hopes; Even if the bet is lost, Yang Guang's father and son kill each other, whether it is Lao Tzu's son, they need the continued support of the family, and they will never dare to kill the Wei family.
Seeing that the four people in the room were deep in thought, Yang Chong smiled and said, "Master Cui, the junior has said everything and said goodbye." ”
Yang Chong kept his demeanor and left, Cui Hongsu sent all the way to the door, the room seemed empty, Cui Hongdu broke the silence, and asked Li Baiyao with a smile: "Baiyao, how do you think Yang Chong is better than Pei Ju?" ”
Li Baiyao replied seriously: "Pei Ju is not as good as him, Yang Chongsheng is in the pattern, and many things are ignored by others, but Yang Chong can see the two or three steps, or even ten steps behind; Therefore, Yang Chong's shots were all conspiracies, knowing that there was fraud, but he made people jump down willingly. No wonder Pei Ju is desperate to put him to death, with such a character as an opponent, he will wake up in his dreams, if I had Yang Chong's vision back then, today Dasui is a different atmosphere. ”
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Li Baiyao was in the East Palace, serving as the prince's housekeeper and a bachelor in the East Palace, and was the confidant and think tank of the crown prince Yang Yong, but the means were limited, which led to Yang Yong's defeat in the battle for the throne; Although Li Baiyao later refused the invitation of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, did not go to Yangzhou, and maintained his integrity, the price was that after Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, he was demoted to Guizhou Sima, until he finally lost his official position and resigned. Li Baiyao has self-cultivation, but it does not mean that he will be willing.
Tuoba Bo said suspiciously: "Isn't Yang Chong afraid that what he said will get out?" ”
Cui Hongdu was a little disappointed, no wonder the Sui Han Hall was in chaos, Tuoba Bo was still a little worse, today everyone talked to such an extent, no one could turn back, even if anyone ran to tell Emperor Sui Yang, Emperor Sui Yang would doubt his intentions.
