Who said that Wei Zheng was old-fashioned and didn't understand human feelings, Yang Chong made up his mind that if someone interceded for Wei Zheng for this reason in the future, he must be punished heavily. Wei Zheng's proposal was exactly what Yang Chong himself ignored, Ling Jing's wife Li Xiyu was from the fifth surname Qiwang, and there was a pride in her bones, and the reason why Jiang Fei came forward was ineffective; And Cui Yao is the daughter of the fifth surname Qiwang, she will definitely be able to convince Li Xiyu, as long as Li Xiyu is not eccentric, Ling Jing himself has no problems.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Xuan drafted three chapters and sent them to Chang'an, Luoyang, and Dingxiang; Yang Chong took advantage of the fact that Song Jingang and Kou Jiuhui were there, and found the two of them separately and asked about Song Zixian and Chongxuan Palace. Song Jingang was the last person in the rivers and lakes to see Song Zixian, and recalled: "Song Zixian is the kind of person who looks like a grandmaster, imposing, gentle and powerful, and smiles most of the time, but I always feel a little weird." ”

Eccentric? Yang Chong pondered and said, "Can you say something specific?" ”

Song Jingang thought for a while and described: "Maitreya teaches that those who kill one person are one Bodhisattva, and those who kill ten people are ten Bodhisattvas, slaughter monasteries, and kill monks and nuns, but Song Zixian is not crazy at all, he is very rational, and he understands the requirements of the Cui family and the Lu family, and every concession is just right." I have only seen this kind of temperament in Cui Hongdu, and the Guogong is a little worse. ”

Yang Chong understood, didn't get angry, and asked calmly: "Do you feel a kind of power, a kind of concentration, and no distractions?" ”

"Exactly." Song Jingang immediately realized that he was wrong, Yang Chong was just casual on the surface, but in fact he was equally focused on the things he cared about, otherwise how could he not let Song Zixian go; Kou Jiuhui took over and said: "It's very strange, this time Yu Wenhua and Zai Jiangdu made a move, and the Chongxuan Palace and the Fearless Gate did not make a move. When Yu Wenhua killed Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu, Li Ben, Yin Zhengqing, Yuwen Tutor and other nineteen people, only Zhao Xingshu was skilled, he was too often happy, and he earned hundreds of millions of fortunes in business. ”

Yang Chong analyzed those materials and expressed his opinion: "Zhao Xingshu was an official bought from Yu Wenhua and there, and he was Yu Wenhua's henchman, who took the initiative to promote Hua and take power, and in less than a month, he and Sima Dejiao murdered Yu Wenhua, and the changes before and after were too fast. There should be someone behind Zhao Xingshu, but Xu Hongren and Zhang Kai were ambushed too deeply, and no one could have imagined that the two of them were pawns of Yuwen Valve, and Yang Guang and Sima Dejiao were defeated because of this. After Yu Culture and the defeat, there should be clues. ”

Although Yu Wenhua was defeated by Li Mi, he still called the emperor in Wei County, the country name was Xu, Jianyuan was Tianshou, and he was appointed as a hundred officials; Yang Chong's failure refers to the fact that Yu Wenhua and other heroes will be completely defeated in the future. Kou Jiuhui understood: "What those people value is Yu Wenhua and the army and treasures in their hands, once they can't get it, they will make another plan, and I will follow up on this matter." It's just that Song Zixian has no news at all, and Zen Master Ye De can't find any clues from the surviving Maitreya disciples. ”

Yang Chong remembered the evil king Shi Zhixuan in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and asked, "You two said, will Song Zixian hide in which temple?" He will not live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, maybe in Chang'an and Luoyang. ”

Maitreya is also considered a Buddhist sect, and Song Zixian is also a monk, if you want to hide your whereabouts, the temple is the best place to go; Kou Jiuhui reacted and said: "It's that the number of temples in Jiangdu is too small, and it is easy to find a strange monk, and there are thousands of temples in Chang'an and Luoyang, which is indeed a hiding place, and it is also suitable for planning actions." Although Chengdu, Wuwei, and Gaochang are also Buddhist temples, Maitreya has no foundation, and it is difficult to make movements. ”

Yang Chong was taken aback, pressed one hand on the table and said, "You hurry up and pass the book, please Gong Yi come out and keep an eye on Zen Master Ye De." Wuwei has placed Maitreya disciples, and he will not make waves at the moment, just because Zen Master Ye De is alone, and the believers below may not be able to resist Song Zixian's demagogy. ”

When Kou Jiuheng heard this, he knew that he had not thought it through for a while, so he immediately retired from Song Jingang and went to make arrangements.

Chang'an was the closest to Hedong and was the first to receive Yang Chong's recital; After Pei Lin finished reading it, he came to find Li Yuan, the king of Tang. After hearing this, Li Yuan understood Yang Chong's intentions, and said with a sneer: "Yang Chong wants the three of us to fight in public opinion; In the current situation, Wang Shichong and I both want to change banners, but with Yang Chong on his back, no one dares to take the first step. Did Zheng Yuanshou hear back? ”

The road between Chang'an and Luoyang was cut off by Tongguan, and Li Yuan's envoy could only make a detour, so he asked Zheng Yuanshou, who was in charge of Taichangqing in Nanyang, to talk to Wang Shichong about cooperation. Zheng Yuanshou received the full support of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, Zhou Tao, Yang Shilin, and Zhu Cang all expressed their submission to Li Yuan, and all the local forces between Chang'an and Nanyang were wiped out by Zheng Yuanshou; But there are two sides to a penny, and it is said that Wang Shichong is hesitant to cooperate with Li Yuan because of this.

Pei Lin replied in a low voice: "There is no news yet, but I recently heard that the Duhu family has some ideas." ”

Li Yuan was not angry, and said with a smile: "I know about this, Duhu is not interested in his career, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, his mind has been on money, and now he is very jealous of you and Dou Cong." ”

Pei Lian's heart beat for a while, knowing that Li Yuan pointed out that he and Dou Cong secretly sent someone to Anyi to bid for the salt area, Pei Lin opened his mouth and was about to explain, Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, I don't believe in you two yet, who do I believe." Tell you, Duan Lun's family also went to the two salt areas, and Wu Shi Tong relied on the relationship between Wu Shiling and the old cripple to get one, and his third brother Wu Shi let him go. ”

Duan Lun is the son of Duan Wenzhen, Li Yuan's fourth son-in-law, and is now the governor of Yizhou; The relationship between Yang Chong and Duan Wenzhen is known to the world, and winning the bid is naturally a piece of cake. Kube Langzhong Wushi Tong scattered all his family wealth when Li Yuan raised troops, his eldest brother Wu Shiling was Sinong Shaoqing, and his second brother Wu Shiyi served as Yizhou Xingtai Zuocheng under Duan Lun.

Pei Ju finally understood why Li Yuan was calm, and his feelings were the same as his own, and he was doing business with the enemy. Li Yuan motioned for Pei Lin to sit down, let people serve wine and food, and started singing and dancing, and then said: "I really hope that Yang Chong can take a fancy to Xiuning's girl, Yang Chong is good to himself, I know that Duan Lun added a girl, called Duan Jianbi, specially slapped a jade pendant, and gave two cars of gifts." ”

Pei Lin said in his heart, don't say that Yang Chong doesn't have that mind, that is, Yang Chong is willing to be your son-in-law, the battle that should be fought on both sides still has to be fought, you and Yang Chong can only win the world alone in the end, but for the subordinates on both sides, there is just one more reason to surrender, helping your son-in-law to work is no different from helping your father-in-law to work.
