Yang Xuanyu and Cui Minshou, who were found by Yang Chong, secretly complained bitterly, this was obviously a poisonous plan set up by Li Yuan in advance, originally as long as Li Yuan died, the Hexi Army would release the prisoners, but these three letters made Yang Chong very embarrassed, and he agreed to disagree and suffer from the pressure of public opinion. If Yang Chong refuses to be released, he will be accused of having no bearing and ulterior motives; If Yang Chong agreed to these three letters, the major families would be able to easily step on two boats, and there would not even be a loss of a concubine.

Tianqi, who was standing behind Yang Chong, said expressionlessly: "I inquired about the original maids of Cui Shangqi and the Wan clan and others, this idea was from Li Shimin's wife, the eldest grandson, I think it is just a conspiracy to use some trivial things to drag the head of the family and facilitate the occurrence of certain things in other places." ”

Cui Minshou and Cui Shangqi belong to the second room of Boling Cui's Boling, Li Tang's Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cui Mingan is the patriarch and Cui Minshou's cousin, Cui Minshou suddenly hit a spirit when he heard this, if he killed Cui Mingan in front of him, he would be scolded to death by the clansmen. Cui Minshou hurriedly sat up straight and persuaded: "Guogong, don't take the killing ring lightly. ”

Yang Xuanxuan also figured out that only by expanding the seriousness of the incident could Yang Chong justifiably put these three letters aside, and show the color to those who planned behind the scenes, killing people became particularly important. However, Yang Xuan's temperament changed greatly in Hexi for a few years, and he knew that he only came to Henan to serve as the county guard of Hongnong, not to participate in military aircraft like Cui Minshou, so he didn't say a word and waited to see what happened.

Yang Chong also didn't speak, and motioned to Tianqi to continue: "According to the usual practice, after the defeat of Dengzhou, the war in Henan has come to an end, and the head of the family should return to Chang'an to sit in the town, so the plan of the Changsun clan shows from another angle that Chang'an has to make a big move, and I don't want the head of the family to go back at this time." ”

Li Jing cautiously asked, "How is Guogong going to deal with the matter of the letter?" ”

Yang Chong sneered and said: "All Li Yuan's family members must be guilty of meritorious service, and all the concubines who write to the yamen to complain about Li Yuan's unscrupulous manners will all be incorporated into the women's barracks for protection; Those who have fantasies about traitors are not included in slavery. The same is true of all officials who marry women from Li Yuan's family, indicating that those who do not agree with the thief can be released as appropriate, and all those who do not repent can be executed on the spot. Transferred the chief Sun Wunai to Chang'an to serve as the lieutenant of the school, and by the way, he asked him to cancel the marriage between Guanyin and Li Shimin, and take Guanyin home to marry someone else. ”

Cui Minshou's sweat came down, and Yang Chong had already thought about how to do it, and called himself and Yang Xuanyu to just make an announcement, so as not to make a mess without knowing about it after doing it; However, the person who gave Yang Chong the idea was really ruthless, killing two birds with one stone, the eldest grandson Wuji was Li Shimin's most powerful general, if there was a situation where his sister and Li Shimin divorced, it would be difficult for the eldest grandson Wuji to stay with Li Shimin.

Yang Xuanqi asked in a low voice, "Can I go to see Yang Miao?" ”

"Absolutely." Yang Chong agreed on the spot: "Li Jing, I don't have any eunuchs here, so I will let the Red Whisk Girl be in charge of the female soldiers."

Camp and take care of these women, Li Shimin's family was immediately escorted to Chang'an alone. ”

Li Jing agreed, Yang Chong set up women's barracks in Zhangye and Chang'an, Jiang Fei's junior sister Hao Ting and Duhu Hong of the Duhu family were in charge, and it was normal to build another women's barracks. Li Shimin's family was not so simple as it seemed to be sent to Chang'an, and Li Jing understood that Yang Chong was going to fish, and through the road from Dengzhou to Chang'an, he observed the movements of all aspects.

Li Jing couldn't help but look at Tianqi, this person has been active in Shandong for five or six years, and half of the credit for Yujuluo and Xu Shiji's submission to Yang Chong is his, which is more terrifying than Kou Jiuhui in the face of conspiracy and trickery. Tianqi didn't seem to feel Li Jing's gaze, and said in a calm voice: "The head of the family, Cui Mingan can be used, those who support Dou Jiande and Li Shimin are all the gate valves of Hebei, and Cui Mingan's influence is huge." ”

Yang Chong gently patted the handle of the chair, and said while thinking: "Minshou, give you a message to your clan, as long as they can prompt Dou Jiande to negotiate peace with us and assist Gao Kaidao to deal with Li Shimin, for Cui Mingan and others, I can not blame the past and appoint Cui Mingan as Si Nongqing." ”

Yang Chong has not set up Jiuqing so far, even if Si Nongqing is the last, at least he shows his attention to Cui Mingan; Cui Minshou understood what Yang Chong's promise meant, but he still shook his head and said: "Guogong, how to say it, the patriarch is a person who takes the family very seriously, if I guess correctly, he should have defected to Li Tang because of the "Clan Chronicles", including Li Baiyao, who lobbied Du Fuwei in the south, I am afraid this is also the reason." ”

Yang Chong knew that Cui Minshou was telling the truth, his momentum was too tough, and the clan lords knew that the clan level was useless on his own territory, Li Yuan could think of this, it was really a wonderful move. Yang Chong was not embarrassed by his subordinates, and smiled happily: "Then forget it, I'll let Chang'an contact Dou Jiande." Yu Xuan, notify Chang'an, transfer the right Yiwei to prepare out of Tongguan, and target the five counties of Shaanxi, Xiong'er, Lingbao, Mianchi, and Xin'an. ”

Wang Shichong Henan County, although the region has changed, still placed Henan, Luoyang, Ruxiang, Taolin, Shaanxi, Xiong'er, Mianchi, Xin'an, Yanshi, Gong, Yiyang, Shou'an, Luhun, Yique, Xingtai, Wushi, Songyang, Yangcheng 18 counties, even if the original Xiong'er County was once occupied by Li Tang as Xiongzhou, still choose another castle nearby. The five counties pointed out by Yang Chong were Wang Shichong's barrier to the west, and once lost, the Hexi army would be equivalent to hitting the city of Luoyang.

The battle report of Li Tang's withdrawal from Dengzhou reached Chang'an, and Shangshu Province once again ordered to celebrate, although Du Fuwei and Lu Zushang were all ordered by Li Tang, but it can be seen from Li Yuan's defeat that he did not dare to go to Huainan, and Li Yuan himself did not dare to believe these two people. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in the south is going to change, Li Wuji got the news of the debacle in Dengzhou as soon as possible, and hurriedly went to the next door with Wei Yijie to find Xing Ruyan, and when they met, they asked: "Do you still want to open the treasure house now?" ”

Xing Ruyan said disdainfully: "What are you panicking about? The matter of the treasure house can be suspended, but the matter of mutiny cannot be abandoned, and only if the movement is big enough, Yang Chong can withdraw his troops. ”

Wei Yijie said coldly: "The war between Yang Chong and Tang Wang has ended, and we are now forcing Yang Chong to withdraw our troops, which is to help Wang Shichong, and I don't know who he died for." ”

Xing Ruyan said with a smile: "Wei Ye thinks too much, the world is chasing deer, it is the means to exhaust, we are now shuttling in the fog of the woods, although we follow a person in front, but we can't see the leader at the front of the team, only when we walk out of the woods, and when the fog clears, we know who we are following, and we are not going in the wrong direction." ”
