Chapter 722: Rupture

Wang Yuan, who was stranded in the palace of Mrs. Qin Guo and waiting for news, did not expect that what he was waiting for was the news that Gao Xianzhi was dismissed from office and Feng Changqing was killed on the spot, which made Wang Yuan furious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yang Guozhong is really incorrigible, he didn't take his advice seriously at all, this move was obviously to pull Gao Xianzhi off the horse, and to remove his official position and kill his right-hand man is equivalent to abolishing Gao Xianzhi.

Originally, Wang Yuan still wanted to pull Yang Guozhong in the future, but now, Wang Yuan decided to let this stupid and arrogant guy obey the arrangement of history, and no longer make half of his efforts for this person and completely break with him.

When Yang Guozhong came to Mrs. Qin's mansion to show his merit to Wang Yuan, he was the first time he had a closed-door soup from Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin Guo didn't even let him enter the mansion at all, but the servant who guarded the door said to him in the small door, "Madame said that please Xiangguo don't bother again, Madame doesn't welcome you." ’

will really turn his face with himself for Wang Yuan. And obviously, the cleverness he played was obviously recognized.

Yang Guozhong did play tricks on this matter, and he once again instigated the three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade Xuanzong not to kill Gao Xianzhi, but he was determined to abolish Gao Xianzhi. Because of all kinds of indications, it is impossible for Gao Xianzhi to attach to himself, and Wang Yuan actually wants to threaten himself for Gao Xianzhi, which arouses Yang Guozhong's anger even more. He was worried that even if Gao Xianzhi would not take refuge in his opponent, he and Wang Yuan would have a close relationship in the future, and they would be able to unite against him.

Datang Shuangbi is already a household name in Datang, and if these two famous generals unite to fight against themselves, they will definitely not be able to restrain themselves. One Wang Yuan made it difficult for Yang Guozhong to deal with, not to mention that there was one more Gao Xianzhi.

So, Yang Guozhong told Xuanzong that Gao Xianzhi could not be killed, but Feng Changqing must be killed, otherwise it would not be enough to boost the morale of the army and warn the generals. And after killing Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi must not be able to use it anymore, because he must have a grudge and use it is risky, so it is better to beat Gao Xianzhi to the end and reduce it to the common people, which not only shows His Majesty's grace, but also punishes Gao Xianzhi, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Xuanzong was loyal to Yang Guo, but in fact, Xuanzong himself had no idea, he only knew that he was angry, and he had no statute in case of trouble. In addition, in fact, his desire to kill Gao Xianzhi was not strong, and it was completely because Yang Guozhong said that not killing was not enough to deter everyone, and it was necessary to use heavy codes in times of chaos, so Yang Guozhong's opinion was adopted. When Yang Guozhong ran to say that he would not kill Gao Xianzhi, and it was another reason, Xuanzong did not think about Yang Guozhong's rebellion, but thought that Yang Guozhong could correct the decision in time and give the most appropriate plan, and he was a person who could still be relied on. And so, there was the holy decree that was sent to the barracks.

However, out of dissatisfaction with Wang Yuan, Yang Guozhong still did not recommend Wang Yuan to take over as generalissimo of counterinsurgency, but suggested that Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi take over. What he thought was that if Brother Shuhan and Li Guangbi could defeat the rebels, it would be tantamount to giving Wang Yuan a big slap in the face. And Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi have always been the people they want to win over since Wang Zhongji stepped down. Once Ge Shuhan and Lee Kwang-pil make contributions, they will definitely be grateful to themselves. And if Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi are defeated, then they have at least one hole card, and then they will be cheeky and ask Wang Yuan to come out to quell the rebellion.

All in all, Yang Guozhong's wishful thinking was full of thoughts, trying to take advantage of it everywhere, and trying to be cautious everywhere, but he forgot that these scheming and cheapness made him completely seen through by Wang Yuan, and he was also disgusted by Mrs. Qin Guo.

Yang Guozhong, who was sitting in the car and left the Lady of Qin's mansion, scolded indiscriminately, and after venting his dissatisfaction, his heart gradually felt better. He understood that Wang Yuan must have seen through his tricks, so he must have left the capital and didn't want to see him. Mrs. Qin Guo was also angry because of her lover and closed her door.

But in fact, Yang Guozhong was not worried about what would happen to Mrs. Qin. The Yang family has long been a whole, just as An Lushan's inscription refers to the people of the Yang family who take themselves as the first evil, that is to say, everyone is a grasshopper on your rope, and no one can escape, but I am not worried that Mrs. Qin Guo will say something to the concubine because of this matter. Maybe in a few days, when Mrs. Qin Guo has lost her breath and explains, she will be able to solve this matter. The problem is Wang Yuan, if this person really wants to turn his face with himself, it will be really troublesome. However, there is no way to take care of it at the moment, so I can only hope that if the change of coach is like changing the knife, then Brother Shuhan and Li Guangbi can make a difference, so that they can have less pressure and no need to worry about Wang Yuan's attitude.

……

Heavy snow covered the ground with a thick white quilt. The heavy snow continued to fall for two days and three nights, and there was still no sign of stopping, and the sky was still sprinkled with flying snowflakes from time to time. But the snow is really coming to a halt.

On the official road outside the west gate of the capital, Gao Xianzhi wore a cotton robe, rode a horse, and was followed by two servants carrying packages from the west gate and headed west. After coming to the capital, in fact, the imperial court did not follow the holy decree to escort to the capital to ask for the crime, his charges have been clearly written on the holy decree, and his punishment has also been clearly written on the holy decree, asking him to go to the capital, but Xuanzong wants to see him, express the vastness of the emperor's grace, His Majesty's benevolence, and ask him to express his grace not to kill.

Xuanzong hoped that even the courtiers who had been punished by himself would have no resentment against him and be loyal to him. At least on the outside. Gao Xianzhi did not let Xuanzong fulfill his wish, and when Xuanzong summoned him, he stood without saying a word except kowtowing. In three days, he didn't say a word in the three days from the Tongguan camp to the capital, because he didn't want to talk to these people in front of him, and he felt that there was really nothing to say to these people.

Five miles out of the city, there seemed to be a black figure swaying in the snow-covered pavilion next to the official road. Gao Xianzhi didn't care. It is not surprising that there may be people who have gone west to say goodbye to their relatives and friends here. There are long pavilions next to the official roads of the four cities of Chang'an, which stretch for ten miles. It is already a custom to get off the horse for five miles and drink alcohol for ten miles.

However, as Gao Xianzhi slowly rode his horse past, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting in the pavilion with his back to him, wearing a black gold-painted flying tiger cloak. The table was full of food and drink, but he was the only one. Two servants dressed in ordinary clothes stood aside, their eyes looking at the official road.

Gao Xianzhi felt that the back was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while? Just as he was frowning and thinking, a servant in the pavilion suddenly came to the official road and stopped in front of his horse.

"Sir, my master would like to invite you into the pavilion for a glass of wine. I don't know if I want to appreciate my face. The man dressed as a servant said aloud.

Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "I don't know your master, why did you invite me to drink?" I'm going to Luxi, and I won't bother. Thank you for your kindness on my behalf. ”

Before the servant could answer, he saw the man in the pavilion stand up, slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "It is precisely because you are going west that you want to drink a glass of this practice wine." The dignified Tang Dynasty handsome Gao Xianzhi returned to his hometown, how could there be no one to see him off. ”

Gao Xianzhi was taken aback and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you?" Why did you come to the capital? ”

The people in the pavilion laughed and said, "Isn't it me?" Who but I remember my brother? Come and have a drink, the food and drinks are almost cold. ”

The person in the pavilion is Wang Yuan, he did not leave after leaving Beijing, but has been staying in a small town outside Beijing, just to greet Gao Xianzhi here and accompany him. Gao Xianzhi's desolate state of mind was much soothed because he saw Wang Yuan. When he learned that Wang Yuan came to the capital this time to save himself, and he was almost beheaded like Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi was shocked and grateful at the same time.

"Hey, I can't imagine that my Gao Xianzhi has fallen to where I am today, if you hadn't come to Beijing to help this time, I would have been a dead man. Thank you, brother. Gao Xianzhi sighed deeply.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You and I are righteous brothers, you are in trouble, how can I not come." It's a pity that my ability is limited, and General Feng was still killed. Yang Guozhong deceived me by trickery, and I am really ashamed. After learning that General Feng had been killed, I immediately left the capital and never wanted to see Yang Guozhong's face again. ”

Gao Xianzhi said: "I'm sorry, because my matter with Feng Changqing made you and Yang Xiangguo turn against each other, and your relationship was originally very good." ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Until now, do you still think that Yang Guozhong and I are all the way?" Let me put it bluntly, Yang Guozhong and I are using each other. He needs me to help him, I need to go up with his strength, and that's the real relationship between me and him. It's a matter of time before he turns his face, not to mention that he's going to kill you. If he kills you this time, then I will definitely avenge you. Fortunately, although he disobeyed the yang and the yin, at least he saved your life. Brother, don't be depressed, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. The official position is gone, the reputation is still there, and the people are still there, which is more important than anything else. You're going to make a comeback. Yang Guozhong couldn't jump for a few days. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "I'm not depressed." I have been fighting for so many years, and my wife and concubines and children at home have not been well accompanied. I just can't let go of Feng Changqing's death. Feng Changqing is loyal, very insightful in military affairs, and is a loyal and good general, but it is a pity that he died at the hands of traitors, which is really unclear. ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "Yes, although I don't have much contact with General Feng, I can see from several contacts that he is a rigorous, serious and meticulous person who is loyal to the court, and it is a pity that he died." But the deceased is gone, and the brother doesn't have to be too sad, everyone is going to die, and I'll see you in the future. We should work hard to survive when we live, and struggle is the only way to struggle. Come, let's toast to the heroic spirit of General Feng, which can be regarded as a tribute to him. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, and Wang Yuan raised their glasses and prayed to the sky, and then the two slowly sprinkled the wine in the snow.
