Cui Yao's eyebrows flowed, and he said knowingly: "You are not going to move Shui Rou immediately, you want to see which families will show the water." ”

Yang Chong nodded and said: "People also want to find out how much energy we have, I only hope that Yang Tong and them will not get involved, otherwise it will be a river of blood." ”

"Politics is inherently dark, for the sake of interests, Yang Ciyou, Yang Dong can form an alliance with Li Yuan and others, not to mention those old ministers of the Sui Dynasty. You still haven't been crowned an official yet, many people are dissatisfied in their hearts, the ransom of Yuan Min and Gongsun Huilan is too high-profile, which has stimulated the nerves of many families, they dare to subvert the Great Sui, and they dare to deal with you; Truth be told, it's time to be a murderous admonition. Cui Yao stood up, suddenly stopped and asked, "Did you calculate the right time to do it?" ”

Yang Chong stood up and motioned for Miao Aimei to go out, stepped forward and grabbed Cui Yao's waist and said, "Your mind is so quick, it really scares me." ”

Cui Yao slapped Yang Chong twice and said, "Bad guy." ”

Duhu Yanshou took a group of gentlemen to make trouble in Xiaoxiang Courtyard, which was thought to be a good time to crack down on Yang Chong, and rumors spread in the city, and the imperial historians wrote books one after another. The Liu family in Hedong surfaced, not only taking the lead in public condemnation, but also running around and contacting non-stop; Liu Jianzhi, Liu Shu, and Liu Guyan died one after another, and Liu Heng and Liu Kui, who defected to Li Tang, were all in prison.

Kou Jiuhui quickly found out that the person who secretly provided the news of the imperial court was Liu Weiming of the Criminal Department Langzhong who had been transferred back to Chang'an not long ago. Liu Weiming spent a while in prison in Gaochang for opposing Yang Chong, but in the end, Yang Chong pardoned Liu Weiming after learning that Liu Jianzhi was assigned to Lingnan. This time, Yang Chong also wanted to use Liu Weiming, so he transferred him back to Chang'an to serve as Langzhong in the Criminal Department, but in Liu Weiming's eyes, this was contempt for himself.

Several people who participated in the Gaochang operation back then, in addition to the dead Chen Kui and Li Yu, Cui Kaiyuan is the Marshal's Mansion Zuo Changshi, the eldest grandson Wunai, and Wang Junjun are all county guards, Liu Weiming thinks that he should get a county or a county order, the criminal department is the least powerful of the six departments, basically limited to civilians and officials below the seventh grade has the right to execute, the right to punish is still in Dali Temple, and the criminal department Langzhong is a service official, a little stronger than civilians.

Liu Zuo and others took advantage of this to let Liu Weiming's uncle Liu Tingzhi come forward to persuade Liu Weiming, and Liu Wuchen also went to meet Yang Yu, wanting to pull Yang Yu and the Wei family together; Kou Jiuhui analyzed, the Liu family seemed to have achieved its goal, Wei Fuzi moved, and Du Ruhui's eldest brother Du Cha returned to Chang'an, with a large number of domestic slaves and food, probably on a mission.

In another time and space, Du Cha was instigated by Du Yan in Luoyang and was killed by Wang Shichong, but now Du Yan followed Yang Chongxi to Gaochang and did not set foot in Luoyang, and Du Cha returned to Chang'an alive. On the night when Yang Chong agreed to the Criminal Department's acceptance of the Duhu Life Extension case, the Quentian Pavilion was dealt a heavy blow, and with the defection of the arrested people one by one, the secret stronghold in Chang'an was almost uprooted, and Du Cha's identity was exposed, along with 10,000 stone of grain and 6,000 taels of silver transported by disguised as a grain merchant were confiscated.

As soon as they heard the news of the defeat of Quentian Pavilion, Wei Baoluan and Wei Ji immediately threw out Wei Fuzi, Yang Yu and others; Yuwen Chengdu immediately began to publicly arrest people, involving seven wealthy families, including Wei Xuan's son Wei Xiaoze and Dou Kang's younger brother Dou Qing. The streets of Chang'an suddenly became cold, and the scorching sun couldn't suppress the chill in people's hearts, Yang Chong has not moved much since he occupied Guanzhong, making many people forget his feat in Gaochang and Zhangye, at this moment, everyone's memory was restored.

Yang Wang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, quickly sentenced a series of cases, and 17 people, including Dou Liang, Chai Shen, Chai Shao, Dou Qing, Wei Xiaoze, Li Daoxing, Xiao Zao, Duan Decao, Wei Fuzi, Liu Heng, Liu Kui, and Tang Xian, were sentenced to death for treason and executed; Liu Weiming was exiled to Qinghai, implicating as many as 100 families. Yang Chong actually wanted to do some tricks, but was rejected by Yang Wang, Yang Wang's meaning is to establish authority, and the competition for the world is not only by benevolence and righteousness, but also by appropriate majesty and deterrence.

Well, Yang Chong admits that he is not strong enough, no wonder Li Yuan hates Yang Wang so much in history, and he must be so strong in Luoyang. Du Yan still wanted to kill his nephew Du Cha as in history, but was dissuaded by Yang Chong, one is that Du Cha is not guilty to death, and there is still a lot of information to be excavated; On the other hand, Yang Chong still had ideas about recruiting Du Cha's younger brothers, Du Ruhui and Du Chuke.

Blood is always a wake-up call, and the major scholars immediately realized that their families were still at risk in prison, and they might lose their heads one day because they were implicated in something, and they all went to Yang Chong, Yuan Wei, Yang Wang and others to negotiate the price of ransom. The grain price in Chang'an is twice that of Jiangnan, and it is three percent higher than that of Luoyang, and everyone can see Yang Chong's plan clearly, and in less than a month, 930,000 stone of grain was transported in Guanzhong, and the price of grain in Chang'an suddenly fell.

More than half of the people in the prison were released, and Li Xiujing became more and more anxious, knowing the strong number of ransoms for hundreds of people, Duan Lun wrote that unless more than a dozen counties were offered, it would be difficult to make up this cash even with the richness of Yizhou. Li Yuan's secret envoy brought Li Yuan's decision to compress the number of people who had to be rescued to thirty; Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's children and wives have all been transferred to Nanyang a long time ago, and these women in Chang'an and the ordinary concubines in the palace can all be abandoned.

Some time ago, seeing that Yang Chong really had no intention of fighting again, Li Tang suddenly exerted his strength, Wang Bo, Li Yiman, and Meng Haigong suddenly surrendered to Li Tang and conquered the city; The army of Li Shimin and Luo Yi marched south from Beiping and went straight to Leshou, and the Tang and Xia Hebei wars broke out. Li Shimin's army connected Zhaozhou and Xingzhou, advanced to Yishui, and was sniped by Dou Jiande's generals Gao Shixing and Wang Fubao. The cavalry of the Turks and Gao Kaidao advanced to Beiping at the same time, and Li Shimin's army could only withdraw to Youzhou.

Dou Jiande threatened to the north and attacked the south with all his might, and the Xia army captured Li Tang's so-called Cheng'an County in Xiangzhou, and Lu Min, the governor appointed by Li Tang, was killed in battle; Immediately afterwards, Wang Liang was assassinated by a house slave in Huazhou, Huazhou was lost, and Wang Bo fled the army and ran to Liyang. Under the horror of Wang Deren, the assassin of Li Tang Yanzhou, he killed Yu Wenda, the Hebei consolation envoy sent to him by Li Tang, in Lin Xi County, and offered Lin Shu, Linqi, and Qiyang counties to Qu Tutong and surrendered to Chang'an.

Li Yiman and Meng Haigong had no choice but to give up Pingling and retreat to Caozhou; Dou Jiande was worried about the north, so he immediately waved his army back to help, and successively regained the lost territory, capturing alive Li Tang Zhaozhou Assassin Shi Zhang Ang, Xingzhou Assassin Shi Chen Junbin, and Zhang Daoyuan, the ambassador of northern Hebei, and others, until the territory of Youzhou did not collect troops.
