Chapter 646: Fishing Line Lengthening (Part II)
"If the prince decides to adopt the princess's words, put a long line to catch a big fish, and let Sima Luo and Lichen leave Chang'an, it is not appropriate to arrest Fang Shihong at present. General Qu, you led people to monitor Fang Shihong for three or four years, during which you found out that he had the ability to arrange for Sima Luo and Lichen to escape to Nanchen? Zhang Heng immediately refuted the Qutu channel.
Xiao E also said: "Since the other party wants to use the Cui clan to take Sima Luo and Lichen out of Chang'an, it means that it is difficult to do this with their strength alone. In the future, there will be someone else who will arrange for the two of her to return to Nanchen in Jiangling, and it will definitely not be Nanchen Xizuo in Chang'an. If General Qu can arrest Fang Shihong without knowing it, and interrogate them from his mouth to find out what they can say that the Cui clan is willing to be used by them and do things for them, it is certainly good, but if Fang Shihong is arrested and brought to justice, it will be a little more than worth the loss. What to decide, I hope the prince will think twice. ”
Yang Guang tightened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "As soon as today's incident came out, I first sat down and confirmed my mind, and I was indeed eager to send Chen and Sima Luo to Nanchen together, which means that no matter whether she is from the 'Goose's Nest' or not, at least there is some close connection with the 'Goose's Nest', and what she said has a certain influence on the 'Goose's Nest' and even Guan Zizai herself." Do you have any objections to this? ”
In addition to Xiao E, Zhang Heng, Qu Tutong, Duan Da and others all said that they had no objections.
"Okay, let's have a good discussion next, as the princess just said, let Sima Luo and Lichen go, can we follow this clue to find out the important people in the 'Goose's Nest', and whether we are sure to leave Sima Luo and Lichen in Jiangling, and after negotiating these two things, this king can make a final decision. Princess, you said yes? Yang Guang's thinking gradually became clearer, looked at Xiao E, and said.
Duan Da had never been appointed as an important envoy after returning to the court with Yang Guang this time, and when he heard this, he first got up and hugged his fists and said: "If the prince can trust me, the last general is willing to take Sima Luo to Jiangling to monitor the left and right, and never ask her to return to Nanchen." ”
"Well, when you get to Jiangling, you mainly need to rely on King Qin to leave Sima Luo and Lichen, but if you want to catch the important people in the 'Goose's Nest', you also need to send another person. Duan Da took the initiative to ask for an order, and I saw that I could give it a try. Yang Guang said as he asked Zhang Heng's opinion with his eyes.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, the intention is to send his daughter to return to Nanchen to avoid trouble, while the 'Wild Goose' and Guan Zizai want to borrow Sima Luo, the former queen of the dynasty, to go to Jiangzuo to show merit to the Nanchen court, and the intentions and emphases of the two are different. In view of this situation, we must be prepared to deal with the 'Wild Goose's Nest' to dispatch elite men and horses to pick up Sima Luo to Jiangzuo. Therefore, the lower officials advocated that those sent to Jiangling to block Sima Luonan's going must be elite soldiers and strong generals. Xia Guan is willing to recommend a person to the prince and go with General Duan Da. ”
"Who does Jianping want to recommend to this king?"
"The prince still remembers the white-haired Liang Mo who stopped the Nanchen assassins from assassinating the Turkic Shabalu Khan in Fenheyi last year, and he is the one who the lower officials want to recommend to the prince."
Yang Guang nodded and smiled: "A few days ago, the palace was haunted, and I thought about transferring Liang Mo into the palace to deal with that evil ghost. Because considering that he was once Liang Shiyan's old subordinate, his father may not be relieved that he will enter the palace to stay in the palace, so he did not mention it to his father. Today, Jianping recommended him to go south with Duan Da to deal with the 'Wild Goose's Nest', which is a very good thing. I will send Li Yuantong tomorrow and let Liang Mo go back to Beijing to listen to the tune. ”
Duan Da listened to Zhang Heng's words, and thought that he was not enough to deal with the people sent by the 'Wild Goose' to pick up Sima Luonan, although he was unhappy, Yang Guang had no choice but to send the white-haired Liang Mo to Jiangling with him on an errand, so he had to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "If General Liang Mo helps, it will be great." ”
While everyone was talking in the hall, they suddenly heard someone outside the hall report that the sergeant sent by Li Hun to monitor the movement of his mind had an urgent matter to report to Yang Guangyu.
Yang Guang temporarily interrupted the discussion with everyone, and ordered the sergeant to enter the hall to reply.
It turned out that not long after Yang Guang, Xiao E and others left the Qin Palace, Li Hun's subordinates found that two suspicious young monks and nuns had quietly slipped out of the Wanshanni Temple through the side door and went to the Qin Palace, which was located in the new capital of Chang'an.
"This must be the two maids that the Cui clan used to drop the bag and returned to the Qin Palace." Yang Guang listened to the sergeant's report and said to everyone in the hall with a smile.
"As soon as these two monks and nuns returned to the Qin Palace, they seemed to be stopped by the palace guards in the duty room at the gate of the palace, and they didn't know what to do." The sergeant then added his report.
Retiring the sergeant who came to report the news, Yang Guangdu said to Xiao E: "The princess is not bad, Ah Yi is probably suspicious, and ordered someone to stop the two maids of the Cui family, this is to find out the truth from the two of her." But if he asked the truth from the two maids and forced Cui Shi to send Sima Luo and Lichen back to the temple, wouldn't it be a bad thing? ”
Xiao Er nodded and replied, "It's possible." Therefore, the concubine begged the prince to send someone to invite the king of Qin to our mansion immediately, explain the truth to him, strive for his cooperation, and take the Cui family to Jiangling tomorrow. ”
Although Yang Guang was reluctant to take the initiative to find Yang Jun, he thought that there was no other way to find it, so he had to order Liu Fang to go to the Qin Palace, and invite Yang Jun to meet him.
Taking advantage of Yang Jun's arrival, Yang Guang confessed to Zhang Heng, Qu Tutong, Duan Da and others a few errands that he had to start immediately, according to the ideas he had just sorted out in his mind:
First of all, before the Cui family took Sima Luo and Lichen to leave Chang'an, they sent people to closely monitor Xinyi, Mei Er and Fang Shihong's every move, so that they could detect that the release of Sima Luo and Lichen leaving Beijing was intentional;
Secondly, Zhang Heng immediately sent someone to Puzhou, and urgently dispatched the white-haired Liang Mo to return to Chang'an to report to Duan Da at night, and strive to set off with Yang Jun tomorrow to go to Jiangling on an errand;
The third case, fate Qu Tutong, from today, will send additional manpower to strengthen the surveillance of all people in Chang'an City who are suspected of being the 'Wild Goose's Nest', and once someone is found to have left Chang'an to go south, he will immediately get in touch with Duan Da.
After giving the three messengers, Yang Guang immediately ordered everyone to retreat and go on errands. Princess Xiao Eyin considered that she had been out of the palace with Yang Guang for too long, so she also got up and said goodbye to Yang Biao, and went back to the palace first.
After Xiao E and the others left, Yang Guang sat alone in the hall, and carefully went through all the arrangements required to adopt Xiao E's advice, put the fishing line long, and let Sima Luo and Lichen leave Chang'an, and after ensuring that nothing went wrong, he waited for Yang Jun to come wholeheartedly, showdown with him, and strive to deal with this matter hand in hand with him.
