Chapter Forty-Nine: Hope
The two sat across the table, except for being the prime minister of the court, Cui Hong had never given other courtiers such courtesy, at this time, he was not a master of Zhengyipin, nor was he a general who led hundreds of thousands of people, just a traveler who stayed in the rain, and his body was still dripping with rain.
He is not the minister who is cautious in the Qinzheng Palace, and even trembles in the face of the Queen Mother, his eyes are vigilant, one hand is on the table, and the other hand holds the handle of the waist knife.
The door was closed, and more than a dozen of Cui Hong's guards were outside, without worrying about someone eavesdropping.
The rain was lighter, except for the sound of dripping, which occasionally became rapid, and it was also the rain that had accumulated on the eaves pouring down.
"Didn't Yang Gong hunt down the rebel remnants in the Qi Kingdom? How did you come here? Cui Hong decided to listen to what the waiter had to say, but he didn't intend to accept it, let alone tell his secret.
Yang Feng stared at Cui Hong, as if the other party was just a down-and-out petty official, "Let's get straight to the point, when did Taifu get acquainted with Chun Yuxiao?" ”
Cui Hong laughed dryly, "Yang Gongzhen is joking, Chun Yu is the first offender who bewitched King Qi to rebel, how could I, as the general of Pingdong who exterminated the rebels, get acquainted with him?" ”
Yang Feng thought for a while, "That's right, the war is together, and it is impossible for Taifu to meet Chun Yuxiao again, that is, before the King of Qi uprising, but at that time, Chun Yuxiao was still in Qi State, so he shouldn't have a chance to come to the capital." Well...... Chun Yuxiao has many disciples, I don't know which one has been appreciated by the Taifu? ”
Cui Hong sank his face, "Whose power is Yang Gong who came to slander me?" Cui is not talented, but he also knows self-love. ”
Yang Feng arched his hand, "Taifu is angry, it's just a random guess in the next, but in any case, I have to persuade the Taifu a few words: the matter of hope is not credible, Chun Yuxiao and his disciples are bewitching the public, the plan is huge, the king of Qi has fallen, and Taifu will be the next if he is not careful." ”
"Hey, Yang Changshou has made up his mind to call me an accomplice of the traitors? It's okay, let's go to Beijing together and make it clear in front of the Queen Mother. ”
Yang Feng smiled slightly, "In front of the Queen Mother? Taifu won't be ordered to return to Beijing, right? ”
The dignified Taifu, who had just quelled a rebellion, was supposed to garrison troops in the north, but only brought a small number of guards back to Beijing, there was no guard of honor, and he did not report his real name when he checked into the post station, of course, he would not return to Beijing by order, Cui Hong stared at Yang Feng coldly, and began to seriously consider the consequences of "blood spattering on the spot", the door was full of his people, and he himself also had weapons on his body......
Yang Feng guessed what Taifu was thinking, and lifted one collar to reveal the armor inside, indicating that he was ready, and the blood spilled would never be just him.
Outside the door are Taifu's guards, farther away, but they are all Yang Feng's entourage, and the number is even more, once the stalemate, Cui Hong can't take advantage, so he smiled, "Yang Gong is both wise and brave, respectable and admirable." Well, suppose I met Chun Yuxiao, and assumed that I returned to Beijing without permission, what did Yang Gong want to say to me? ”
"I'm going to show the Taifu a few confessions."
"Confession?"
The scolding of the guards sounded outside the door, and Yang Feng said: "It's my people who sent the confession." ”
Cui Hong hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "Let him in!" ”
The door opened, and one of Yang Feng's attendants walked in with a wooden box, followed by two guards without leaving behind him, and the attendants put the wooden box on the table, saluted Taifu and Zhongchang Waiter, bowed and withdrew, and the guards did not leave immediately, and when Yang Feng opened the wooden box, revealing a thick stack of papers inside, the two turned around and walked out of the room under Cui Hong's hint, and closed the door.
Yang Feng took out the first confession and slowly pushed it to Cui Hong on the table, "I and the right patrol Lord Shi Shen are all over the Kwantung princes, Lord Shen announces the holy decree, and I am responsible for finding signs of rebellion." This is the confession of several people in the palace of Linjiang Wang, around the thirty-first year of Zhongmiao, a person named Fang Zisheng was a guest of King Gong of Linjiang, King Gong died early, and Fang Zisheng retreated in vain. ”
"Thirty-one years? That was more than a decade ago. ”
"Hmm." Yang Feng took out another confession, "In the thirty-fourth year of Zhongmiao, King Mourning of Jiyang invited a person named Lin Qianfeng, a year later, King Mourning of Jiyang was exposed, Emperor Wu was gracious, but he cut the county, King Mourning has been cautious and guarded the country since then, and he has no objection for life, Lin Qianfeng disappeared, and his name never appeared again. ”
Yang Feng took out one confession after another, in chronological order, all of them were the confessions of a certain person who had received a certain person in the vassal states, and each one was piled up in front of the Taifu, Cui Hong didn't look at a single one, his eyes kept staring at Yang Feng, and suddenly held down a confession that had just been pushed over, and said: "In the forty years of Zhongmiao, the King of Bohai and the King of Jiujiang appeared at the same time. ”
"I suspect that since then, the number of disciples of this Qi Seeker has begun to increase, and there are some places where he is not needed to go out in person."
The last confession came from the subordinates of the King of Qi, and the Qi Seeker appeared in the palace of the King of Qi in the forty-first year of his reign, that is, the year of Emperor Wu's death, and four years later, the King of Qi rebelled.
"Yang Gong has only been away from Beijing for a month or two, can he collect so many confessions? From the south to the north, the princes and kings almost all declined. ”
"If Taifu remembers it, in the first month of Emperor Huan's ascension to the throne, he issued an edict requiring all localities to check the movements of the heroes of their hometown."
Cui Hong nodded, of course he remembered, but it was not a big deal, almost every emperor had issued a similar decree, nothing more than killing some people and relocating some people to set an example, so that the local heroes could not form a solid force, nothing more.
"That was the idea I gave to Emperor Huan, but I got the wrong target, and it wasn't until the shape of Chun Yu Xiao's bewitching King Qi was exposed that I realized what I was wrong, it turned out that the problem was not Haojie, but the Jianghu Warlock. So he asked the queen mother to issue an edict, asking the officials of the princely states to ask only one thing, whether they had ever hoped that the angry person would become a distinguished guest of the palace. ”
"There are people everywhere, there are also in the capital, and there are more of them, what does this mean?"
Yang Feng smiled and pointed to the confession in front of Taifu, "Taifu can take a look, at least the four princes and kings received the Qi seekers are surprisingly identical, 'eight feet tall, all white beards, square face, and a red mole in the left eyebrow', does Taifu feel familiar?" ”
Cui Hong was silent for a moment, "Regardless of whether these Qi seekers are alone or not, what is their intention?" Do you get some reward for persuading the princes and kings to rebel? ”
Yang Feng shook his head, "The intention of the Qi Seeker is not to reward, let alone assist someone to become the emperor, but to cause chaos in the world, and the more chaotic the better." ”
Cui Hong was silent again.
Yang Feng continued: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, and only when the world is in turmoil can it be possible to change the dynasty and change the surname. Cui Taifu, the skin does not exist, the hair is attached, if the Great Chu is chaotic, the Cui family will die. ”
Cui Hong finally spoke, "The Qi Seeker I know is named Bu Yuru, forty-one years old, and his hair is still very dark. ”
Yang Fengdao: "Although people are different, the words are similar, nothing more than a place where there is a son of heaven, surrounded by black gas, ups and downs, if you can make a decision immediately, and get the help of nobles, the son of heaven will definitely rise to the sky, if you hesitate, the son of heaven will be suppressed, and there will be no more days." ”
Cui Hong's eyes widened, revealing obvious surprise, "You ......"
"There is no Tianzi Qi at all, when Your Majesty is living in the alley today, can anyone see the Tianzi Qi?" Yang Feng stood up and said sharply: "The King of the East China Sea has no genius, if Taifu does not wake up in time, the King of the East China Sea will definitely die, and the Cui family will be destroyed by your hands!" ”
Cui Hong was startled, also stood up, looked down, and saw that there was a dagger out of the sheath at the bottom of the wooden box, and the cold light was shining, and he couldn't help but be shocked again.
"Just in case." Yang Feng said blandly, putting the confession on the table back into the box and covering the dagger.
"What should I do?" Cui Hong asked.
"Taifu can turn around and return to the north immediately, just as if nothing has happened, the affairs of the capital will be handled by me, and with Taifu leading the troops outside, the king of the East China Sea and the Cui family will be fine. Or Taifu can also return to Beijing with me, wipe out the hidden traitors, and establish a miracle work. ”
Cui Hong thought for a while, his face turned a little pale, "The matter of the capital is like an arrow on the bow, I have to go back in person to stop it, what if...... If it's too late. ”
"Taifu has given the right to act to that Bu Ruru?"
Cui Hong nodded, and began to regret it, "It's not just Bu Yuru, but also Luo Huanzhang, he introduced the Qi Seeker into the mansion, and I believe in him very much." ”
"Luo Huanzhang." Yang Feng read the name again, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't say anything, and listened attentively, "The rain has stopped, please go on the road immediately and return to Beijing as soon as possible with me." ”
Cui Hong suddenly grabbed Yang Feng's arm, "Yang Gong won't turn his face when he arrives in the capital, right?" ”
"From now on, I will stay with Taifu, and after I catch the hopeful, it is up to Taifu to kill or stay, and afterwards I will say that I recalled Taifu to the capital, and I will explain other things to the Queen Mother, the King of the East China Sea will not be implicated, but he can't be the emperor yet."
Cui Hong finally made up his mind, he quietly returned to the capital to push his nephew to the throne, but now he wants to stop all this, "Okay, let's go." ”
Yang Feng was behind, Cui Hong was in front, and walked outside, after a few steps, Cui Hong stopped, turned around and said: "Bu Yuru and Chun Yuxiao may be liars, but they are not, there are really people who are very accurate, and your Majesty is ...... today."
Cui Hong didn't say any more, pushed the door and walked out.
Yang Fengke doesn't believe these nonsense, he only believes in one truth: things are done by people.
The rain has stopped, and there is still a lot of water on the ground, but the people who are in a hurry don't care about this, Cui Hong and Yang Feng respectively ordered their men to prepare for the road, Cui Hong's horse was extremely tired, Yang Feng divided a few, and requisitioned several districts from the post station, which was finally enough.
Yi Cheng was extremely surprised, not long after nightfall, he arrived at Hangu Pass in the middle of the night, and he couldn't open the door, but he didn't ask much, he didn't know Taifu, but he knew that Yang Feng was a eunuch in the palace, and there might be a way to pass in the middle of the night.
Yang Feng kept his promise and stayed by Cui Hong's side, during which he only handed over the wooden box to an entourage, and after the entourage took the box, he asked, "What to do with those three people?" ”
Du Motian, Du Chuanyun and the iron-headed Hu San'er were all tied up by five flowers, standing under the corridor not far away, with three sword-wielding attendants standing behind them, who only needed an order to wield a knife to kill.
Yang Feng shouted at the three captives: "This is half a day's journey to Hangu Pass, if there are really companions who dare to come to the rescue, I will let you go, if not, blame yourself for being blind, instead of living in the world, you will not be a ghost under the knife tonight." ”
Du Motian and the other three were taken aback, Cui Hong didn't recognize these three people, and felt even more strange, looking at Yang Feng, he couldn't figure out the details of this eunuch more and more.
Yang Feng got on the horse, calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already anxious, Luo Huanzhang was an emperor and qualified to enter the palace, which meant that the situation in the capital was even more dangerous than he expected, could the young emperor get through this?
