The people who went to the criminal department soon returned, and Du Fuwei didn't know when he arrived at Dali Temple, and he refused to take out the file as Shang Shuling, saying that the trial would be carried out in Dali Temple, and it was a mess of the rules when he arrived at the court. The wind in the Dharma field was cold, and the dark clouds drifting in the distance covered the sun, including Wen Daya, they all understood that no one could save the Changsun clan. If the case file is transferred, maybe he can still argue a few words, but without the case file, Yang Chong will insist on the original verdict, because it is related to face and power symbols.

Yang Chong stood up and smiled, signaled to open the door of the nearby duty post, Pei Lin and Peng Moyun led a group of warriors out, each holding a box of sealed case files in their hands; Pei Lian, as a member of the Ministry of Rites, didn't he go to the Northeast to envoy to the country? How can it be in Chang'an, and what kind of documents are in the box. Wen Daya and the others' faces became grim, and Yang Chong asked the officials to read out the information on the spot, which was a letter written by a group of people to Li Shimin, as well as a notebook of the Changsun clan that recorded the liaison officials.

The eldest grandson roared like a madman: "Pei Lian, just this ungrateful thing, you are still a friend of my father-in-law Li Yuan." ”

Pei Lian's old face twitched for a while, and his eyes showed a cold light and said, "Do you Li family believe me?" You put all this in my carriage and didn't tell me, and you sent killers to spy on our father and son's every move, ready to kill them at any time. Changsun, if you think for those who sympathize with you, after the defeat of Li Shimin and the Turks, you should burn these letters, instead of giving them to Li Shimin as a tool to blackmail them. ”

Yang Chong reluctantly said to the officials above and below the prison beheading platform: "I originally wanted to learn from Cao Cao and burn these letters after Li Shimin's death, but too many people think about the blessings of the Li family, or worry that the letters are in the hands of the Changsun family. ”

After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, he seized a bunch of private correspondence between his subordinates and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao said: "When Yuan Shao was strong at that time, I doubted whether I could win, let alone those subordinates. ”

Yang Chong's situation is somewhat similar to Cao Cao's, more than half of the officials under Li Tang and Yang Chong are famous families or people who have been recognized and recommended by famous families and local forces, and interpersonal relationships are quite complicated, and the phenomenon of fathers and sons, brothers, and friends having their own masters is very common. To put it bluntly, everyone is seeking officials, and the interests are generally the same, no matter who is the boss, we are all officials, and we usually contact our feelings, and we can use our connections when the time comes.

But Li Tang has failed, and he is still directly in contact with the eldest grandson who is already a slave, and the nature is completely different, this is a manifestation of loyalty to the Li family, and compared to Chang'an, it is a complete rebellion. Tianqi released military fireworks, Chang'an was under martial law, and 43 officials were arrested in one day, including Sima Li Daliang of the Chu Palace; Thousands of fast horses in small groups of twenty people constantly rushed to all sides with military orders.

Changsun and Li Xiuning and others were all beheaded at the execution ground, and Jiang Duo, the secretary of the military department who had just arrived in Hexi, was recalled, and Chang'an canceled the operation to the north. Pei Lin made great contributions and served as the right chief of the Prime Minister's Office; Pei Ju served as the waiter of the internal history, Li Gang, who did not collude with the eldest grandson, served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Wen Daya served as the secretary of the right imperial guard to join the army; Wen Yanbo has just surrendered and was awarded the title of Wen Linlang.

Wen Junyou looked at Wen Daya leisurely in the mansion and said, "Do you believe it?" Li Tang is in the past, King Yue is waiting for an opportunity, Pei Lian's surrender is the best opportunity, a chance to kill the eldest grandson and Li Xiuning. It's just because of your impulsiveness that so many officials have been affected, you must know that if they are just found by King Yue one by one, the vast majority of them can still sit in their original positions. ”

"I understand." Wen Daya nodded and said: "What Yang Chong wants is the use value, and some things can be exchanged, but the officials below have nothing and dare not exchange, so they can only be stricter." But I'm very curious, why is the king of Chu in Dali Temple, why did he block the dossier? ”

Wen Yanbo bowed his head and said, "I discussed it with Liu Daju, and Liu Daju notified Li Anqi in advance." ”

Wen Junyou waved his hand and said, "King Yue won't care about this, it is a heavy blow to King Chu; Kan Ling learned that his identity was leaked, and in the end, whether to follow Jiang Duo or continue to follow Du Fuwei was a dilemma. ”

When Jiang Duo returned to Chang'an, a group of officials such as Li Daliang and Peng Wujie had already been executed, and more than 20 positions in Chang'an were vacated in the military department alone, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Jiang Duo in the palace. Jiang Duo didn't see one, and discussed with Feng Deyi: "What is King Yue going to do?" ”

In the notes of the eldest grandson, Hao Ting alone occupies a lot of space, and Yang Chong only recalled Jiang Duo to deal with the affairs of the military department, but the three provinces and six departments are not gossiping about one or two. Feng Deyi smiled and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, King Yue just can't hide it, and he deposed his wife's power in the women's barracks, and he didn't move his adult's mind." As long as the princess gives birth to a son, everything will disappear. ”

Feng Deyi is the best at pondering people's hearts, if Yang Chong wants to move Jiang Duo, why should he recall Jiang Duo, just take this opportunity to let Fang Xuanling control the military department. As for whether it is possible for Jiang Duo to rebel in Hexi because of this, that is nonsense, except for Shan Xiongxin, the other Yang Ze, Yang Ji, Li Wenxin, Tuoba Anhu, Ye Heilong, and Wei Chigong are all Yang Chong's die-hard fans and henchmen, even if Jiang Fei took his son to call them to rebel, it is impossible. Therefore, Yang Chong's real intention was not to prepare for a war with the Turks now, but to live in harmony and develop the economy.

Jiang Duo nodded and said, "I was scolded to death by my sister this time, and when I went to Yue Wangfu, the master didn't give me a good look." ”

Feng Deyi, who was sitting on the side, said in his heart, it would be strange if Zhang Guolao gave you a good face, the eldest grandson could form such a net, Hao Ting contributed a lot, according to the notes of the eldest grandson, many officials were reconnected because of Hao Ting's notice, and some people even thought that Jiang Duo was trying to win people over, and only when they fell into the water did they know that they had become Li Shimin's allies. It can be said that if it weren't for the special relationship between Jiang Duo and Yang Chong, Jiang Duo would have been dismissed from his post and gone home now.

Only Kan Ling, who is the son of Gui Niao and Yuan Hui Shitai, has been exposed, and Du Fuwei even wrote to ask. Kan Ling was worried that Yang Chong would not care, his friend Wang Xiongdan and his boss Li Jing both greeted in advance, Yuan Hui is Jiang Fei's master and aunt of Yuan Xianren, you are Yang Chong's relative, there is no need to worry; Yang Chong also personally wrote a letter to his family, saying that in the dispute of the world, it is common for relatives to kill each other, and he has no prejudice against Guiniao, and also said that Jiang Fei and Hao Ting both hope that Kan Ling will go to the house as a guest, and Kan Ling will feel at ease.
