The day after the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu came and returned disappointed, Yu Xiaoren finally returned to Bingzhou after half a year, and brought Yang Guang a shocking news: there was a reliable report that Yu Wenyue, the concubine of the former king of the dynasty, Yu Wenzan, had suddenly disappeared in his place of exile, a poor rural area in the northwest border. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The prince Yang Yong suspected that Yuwen Yue was secretly taken by his aunt Yuwen Panruo to settle in the Turkic territory when the Turkic army invaded the northwest, hoping that one day he would raise troops against the Sui under the pretense of making him emperor, in order to restore the country of the Yuwen clan in the previous dynasty. Therefore, Yang Yong, as the crown prince in charge of the government, ordered Yu Xiaoren to bring a letter to Yang Guang, asking him to try to find out the whereabouts of Yu Wenyue in the Turkic territory and find an opportunity to get rid of him in order to prevent future troubles.

Although Yu Wenyue is only the cousin of Emperor Xuan Yu of the previous dynasty, he is the only royal blood left by the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, the letter written by the prince brought by Yu Xiaoren attracted great attention from Yang Guang.

At the same time, what also made Yang Guang a little puzzled and puzzled was that when Yu Xiaoren was asked why he stayed in Chang'an for half a year before returning to Bingzhou, he only vaguely replied that he unfortunately contracted a serious illness of typhoid fever in Changle Station outside Chang'an City, and was forced to return to Chang'an's home for half a year before he could recover, and hurried back to Bingzhou to report to Yang Guang.

"Xiaoren, half a year ago, you returned to Chang'an to deliver a letter to your eldest brother, do you remember the situation in Chang'an City on the eighth day of the lunar month last year?" Yang Guang was still worried about the investigation of the Nanchen spy agency - Yanchao, and after reading the handwritten letter of his eldest brother, he first asked about the "Buddha's Enlightenment Conference" in Chang'an on the eighth day of the lunar month last year.

"This, back to the prince, at the eighth day of the lunar month last year, the last general was ordered by the prince to go to Honghua to send a letter to his father, not in Chang'an City, so I just heard afterwards that after the prince received the legend of the prince, he personally led the forbidden army to take strict precautions in Chang'an City, and there was no change in Chang'an City on the eighth day of the lunar month." Yu Xiaoren was afraid that if he had to hide it any longer, it would attract more suspicion from Yang Guang, so he had to answer truthfully.

"Oh, you also went to Honghua ......" Although Yang Guang felt that it was a bit strange for the eldest brother to send Yu Xiaoren to visit his father in Honghua, he didn't think about it deeply, nodded, and asked again, "Not long ago, Yu Zan wrote that one day before the eighth day of the lunar month last year, the forbidden army under the command of the eldest brother found a female corpse in a monk's robe in a private house near the Dazhuang Temple, do you know about this?" ”

"The Admiral has never heard of this." Yu Xiaoren shook his head blankly.

"Then, during the half a year that you were stranded in Chang'an due to illness, did anything strange happen in Chang'an City?"

"Back to the prince, before the last general left Beijing this time, the emperor had issued an edict to build a new capital on the Longshou Plateau in the southeast of Chang'an City." Yu Xiaoren replied excitedly.

"The war with the Turks and Nanchen has just subsided, and my father is about to build a new capital? That's a great thing to congratulate! Is there anything else going on besides building a new capital? Although Yang Guang was pleasantly surprised by the news of Yu Xiaoren's construction of the new capital, he still reluctantly asked him.

"Again, because the prince has married the princess of Houliang, he issued an edict to withdraw the government troops stationed in Jiangling, and the edict allowed Houliang to move the capital back to Jiangling, and the lord of Houliang sent his eldest son Xiao Zong to thank him in the court and live in Chang'an." Yu Xiaoren couldn't guess what Yang Guang was concerned about for a while, so he tried his best to find something related to Yang Guang to answer.

"About Nan Chen, in the past six months or so, is there any new news?" Yang Guang listened to his answers, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth to guide him.

"It turns out that what the prince wants to know is about Nan Chen, yes, yes...... After Emperor Xuan of Southern Chen collapsed a few months ago, there was civil strife in the palace, and after Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, injured the crown prince Chen Shubao, he was soon defeated and killed by the army led by Xiao Maha, the general of Southern Chen, Chen Shubao was seriously injured and could not ascend to the pole, so he entrusted his third brother Chen Shujian with all the government affairs in charge of the court...... "Because he saw that Yang Guang's face was not good, he was obviously not interested in these things that happened in the Southern Chen Dynasty, Yu Xiaoren hurriedly stopped, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "The last general heard that two months ago, Shi Yangsu, the chief of the Eastern Capital, once captured a scout and secret agent of Nanchen in the Eastern Capital, and asked Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang State, to escort him back to Chang'an and hand it over to the prince for personal interrogation. ”

Yang Guang's eyes finally let out a light, his eyes were staring at Yu Xiaoren, and he asked hurriedly, "What else do you know about this scout and secret agent?" ”

"The prince knows that these are all secrets of the DPRK and China, and the last general knows only that." Yu Xiaoren smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Yang Guangda was disappointed, so he had to turn the topic back to Yu Wenyue, the missing prince of the former dynasty, and instructed Yu Xiaoren: "Since the eldest brother ordered you to bring me a letter and ask me to try to get rid of Yu Wenyue, I think I might as well leave this matter to you." The people and horses in your camp are all at your disposal, find out the whereabouts of Yu Wenyue as soon as possible, and report to me. ”

Yu Xiaoren obeyed the order and returned to the camp to wait for Yu Wenyue to go out of the customs to find out the whereabouts of Yu Wenyue.

Who is the Nanchen secret agent that Yang Su caught in the Eastern Capital? Could it be related to the Bodhisattva who used the strategy of "leading the Buddha out of the mountain" to attract Hebei and arrest him? After Yu Xiaoren left, Yang Guang paced back and forth in the main hall of Jinyang Palace alone, falling into deep thought.

After another two days, the state capitals successively reported the list of high-ranking monks and great virtues who came to apply for the position of abbot of Daxingguo Temple from all over the country, but the result made Yang Guang feel quite disappointed: these monks who signed up for the recruitment were all from Hebei without exception, and no monks from Jiangzuo and Jiangnan came to apply.

Could it be that the position of the Hebei monk and eunuch is not enough to attract the Bodhisattva to come to the recruitment in person? Yang Guang saw that his plan to "lead the Buddha out of the mountain" was about to fail, and he couldn't help but feel disheartened, quite feeling that he was now in the north, but he focused all his energy on investigating the case of Nanchen's "wild goose's nest", and was very suspicious of doing his job, so he handed over the matter of recruiting the abbot of Daxingguo Temple and the Hebei monk and supervisor to Zhang Wei, the left servant, and he turned his attention to the movement of the Turks outside the Guanwai.

Since Yongyu Lu returned to Guanwai with the state, there has been no news since then. After Wang Shao sent people out of the customs to investigate, it was learned that the Turkic Department stationed in Baidaozhou did not often send troops to the south to invade and loot goods on a large scale at the turn of summer and autumn as in previous years. Everything seems to be just as Yong Yulu said when he met with him, and the relations between the two countries are developing in the direction of harmonious coexistence.

However, because Yu Xiaoren returned to Bingzhou and brought the news that Yuwenyue had been exiled to the Turkic territory, Yang Guang did not dare to take lightly the various peaceful appearances he had seen so far, and always kept an eye on every move of the Turks in Yanmen Pass, and was ready to fight the Turks again at any time.
