Coincidentally, Yang Guozhong's mansion is in Xuanyangfang with Gao Xianzhi, but one is in the east of the fang and the other is in the west of the fang, adjacent to it are the three sisters of the Yang family, who are called by the eldest sister Mrs. Han, the third sister Mrs. Qiuguo, and the eighth sister Mrs. Qin Guo, who are called "aunts" today, and occupy nearly half of the entire Xuanyangfang, and the other half is the county party of Wannian County.

In his study, in addition to two cronies, Xian Yuxiang, who had just served as Jing Zhaoyin, Dou Hua, a member of the Zhongshu House, and a Tubo person.

"Until now, do you still dare to come to see so-and-so?" Yang Guozhong said angrily.

Shang Jiexi stroked his chest and bowed deeply: "Honorable Xiangguo, I am extremely sorry for this matter. ”

"It's not a Xiangguo yet, it's all thanks to you."

As soon as he said this, Yang Guozhong's anger couldn't stop rising, and he returned to Beijing for several days, and the Son of Heaven didn't even see his face, not to mention, let him take over Li Linfu's position, a huge court, and it was actually handed over to Chen Xilie to deal with alone, which was even more arbitrary than when Li Linfu was alive, so how could he not be annoyed.

"Sooner or later, why should the doctor be angry." Shang Jiexi said disapprerovingly: "Tian Khan has not made a decision for a long time, not because he is dissatisfied with the doctor, but because there is something hidden in it, which is why I was ordered to come. ”

"On orders? You mean ......" Xian Yuxiang on the side keenly grasped the key point in his words.

"Yes, I came to meet with Dr. Yang on the order of my country's Zampu."

It's just a prisoner under the stairs, what is there to brag about, Yang Guozhong disdains it, but he doesn't show it on his face, after all, he is also the lord of a country, and he can compete with Datang before.

"Please." Rarely waved his hand.

"Although, our country was defeated in this battle, and the whole country had to surrender as a last resort, who would have thought that Geshuhan would raise the whole town to help."

He vaguely mentioned this matter, to show himself some kind of dissatisfaction, Yang Guozhong of course knows, but it is clear that Ge Shuhan said hello there, and finally became like this, it is not that people do not appreciate it, but the situation has changed, who made you so vulnerable, even the capital was lost, and it was him, so it was really stupid not to pick up such a bargain.

"You just surrendered, why did the Nanzhao people also surrender, so many people in the two countries, in their own places, they didn't even have the courage to fight, I really don't know how those past achievements were made."

In the face of their accusations, Shang Jiexi felt both ashamed and ridiculous, a Tang man was unworthy of the enemy, and his heart was even more confident.

"You are right, the Tibetan people lost their courage because they could not see hope, they surrendered with their clans, at least they left the seeds, although the bloody battle is heroic, maybe it will never be able to regain its glory, now it is a foregone conclusion, I think we should focus on the future, right?"

"What future? Ge Shuhan was crowned king in a war, and if the Son of Heaven took advantage of the situation to let him enter the court as the prime minister, no one could stop him. ”

Yang Guozhong couldn't help but let out a low roar, because he was not in the capital, and even the major events such as presiding over the Huimeng and other major events that flaunted the annals of history fell on the body of Chen Xilie, the left prime minister, and in the whole war, he couldn't even get a little cheap, where was he still in a good mood.

After this incident, Chen Xilie's position will be more stable, and the Son of Heaven will not take him down at this moment anyway, so the question is, the position of the right minister is vacant, is it logical to let the left minister Chen Xilie go further, or is Ge Shuhan taking advantage of the momentum of the big victory and becoming the king? In Yang Guozhong's view, these two possibilities are gradually becoming a reality.

"Then let's talk about Geshuhan." Shang Jiexi couldn't think of their concerns, and he went to Beijing with his attendants just for this day.

"The city of Luo has fallen, and none of my Tibetan people have been spared, and how many women and children have been killed, whose head is this?"

"Geshuhan can find a thousand reasons to prove its necessity, and he can also find a thousand witnesses to prove it and say something useful."

Although he is still refuting it, Yang Guozhong's heart has already moved a little, the slaughter of the city in the war will certainly be criticized by the officials, but punishing the boss for this is not a general approach, let alone in the event of a big victory.

"Well, after Zampu, it is an indisputable fact that my king's Zanmong fell into your hands, but after the war, they couldn't give it, is it inappropriate?"

"Anything else?"

"I don't know how much money Ge Shuhan gave to Tian Khan Jin? In some cities, however, we have accumulated the inheritance of our country for hundreds of years. ”

Yang Guozhong's heart moved, and Xian Yuxiang and Dou Hua exchanged a look, there is something to do about this matter, Hou Junji Ping Gaochang also experienced the slaughter of the city, looting, encroachment and other things, and finally all became his crimes, of course, that was after the rebellion.

But it is an indisputable fact that such things are somewhat feared by kings.

Xian Yuxiang and Dou Hua shook their heads at the same time, saying that they hadn't heard anything about offering treasures at all, so it was strange, Ge Shuhan was not a stupid person, how could he make a low-level mistake, so many treasures, he wanted to swallow it alone? How is this possible.

"Thank you for the reminder, please send a greeting to your country." Now that the words have been finished, Yang Guozhong didn't want to say anything more to this Tubo man, so he directly proposed to let him go.

"Gladly." Shang Yuxi bent down unconcernedly, turned and withdrew.

"Don't let this Tubo person come to a certain family's house in the future, you should also pay attention, less contact with the Tubo people, a bunch of lost dogs, even the capital has been lost, what use is there."

When he left the study, Yang Guozhong said impatiently, Xian Yu bowed to the two of them.

"Although this person is useless, what he said is somewhat credible, but I don't know how Ge Shuhan said it in the recital?"

"Can't you think of a way to get the transcript?" Yang Guozhong feels like a blind man now, deaf, and has no clue at all.

"Don't worry, doctor, we don't know, the people in the palace must know, think of a way to enter the palace, ask the lady."

"The concubine doesn't know, so-and-so has already asked, she just reminded so-and-so to serve the prince carefully, what do you mean by this?"

Xian Yu groaned for a moment and was shocked.

"What the lady said, it will be made by Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked the doctor to serve the prince carefully, that is, the prince will be of great use? Could it be that the position of the right prime minister is going to fall to the crown prince? ”

"Lao Xiang, are you too drunk, how can you talk nonsense, has there ever been a prince and a right minister in this dynasty?" Dou Hua glanced at him dissatisfied.

Xian Yuxiang waved his hand and said something that surprised both of them: "There is no prince and right minister in this dynasty, but the right minister is the position, but it has only been decades, don't forget, Shangshuling is the head of Shangshu Province, and the prince is also Shangshuling, but there is a precedent." ”

Yang Guozhong didn't read much, so he didn't react for a while, but Dou Hua understood that this person who served as the crown prince and Shangshuling was none other than Emperor Taizongwen, Li Shimin.

The short time he has been the crown prince is also amazing, because this prince was not granted by the king, but experienced a tragic palace change!

On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, there was a famous "Xuanwumen Change" in history, the prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, were killed at the same time, three days later, Li Shimin was established as the prince, on the seventh day of August of the same year, Gaozu abdicated and called "Emperor Taishang", Li Shimin, who was only the prince for two months, ascended the throne as the emperor, and changed the Yuan Zhenguan the following year, opening the rule of a generation of holy lords.

"Lao Xiang, what do you want to say?" Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice.

"It is estimated that regardless of whether His Majesty intends to use the prince and the right minister, let the lady pass on the words like this, you can know a little bit, the position of the prince has been stabilized, maybe Your Majesty has already saved the intention of Zen, at least he has moved his thoughts."

"What!"

Yang Guozhong and Dou Hua couldn't help but exclaim, this judgment is even more shocking than letting Ge Shuhan pay homage to the prime minister directly, because that will mean that the political situation has entered the era of the prince in advance, and those of them who have been attached to Li Linfu and spared no effort to frame the prince will have a good end?

"So-and-so's heart is in turmoil, tell me what to do now?"

"The top priority is to dispel His Majesty's thoughts, and do whatever it takes!"

Although Xian Yuxiang's words were nonsense, they were not superfluous, and at this moment, the minds of the three of them were all turning such thoughts, until there was a knock on the door of the study.

"What's the matter? I'm not saying that no one is allowed to come and disturb me. ”

Although he was annoyed, Yang Guozhong also knew that there was nothing fatal, and these subordinates did not dare to do so openly, so he called people in, and he was immediately stunned, because the person who came to report the news was not his own family, but the housekeeper of his sister Mrs. Qiuguo.

When the arrival told him what had happened, he was even more annoyed.

"Yan Zhuang will go, what is strange, he told this official yesterday."

"But Mr. Yan only took away the attendants, and the guards were all left."

"Aren't they sick, and it is only right for them to stay."

Yang Guozhong said with a move in his heart: "These guards don't know that Yan Zhuang is leaving? ”

"Exactly, everything is normal in his house, and he doesn't bring anything."

This is strange, Yang Guozhong turned his head to look at Xian Yuxiang: "Old Xiang, you are Jing Zhaoyin, take the prince to the other courtyard to see if there are any clues." ”

"Xiaguan will go." Xian Yuxiang didn't dare to hold it up, so he immediately got up and left the study with the person.

"Something is wrong, Lao Dou, you repair a book, go to the outside of the border, and see how that thing goes."

"If you know about it, you will immediately order someone to send it out."

Yang Guozhong instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why for a while.
