Yang Xuangan saw that Changsun Sheng was here, and secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, but his expression was silent, and he also had a smile on his face, and replied: "The emperor has a rush to transfer General Yuwen from the East Palace of Weiwei and General Yu from the Renshou Palace, and the last general is from the city to pass the decree." As he spoke, he lit up the decree he was holding.

Changsun Sheng's face changed slightly, "oh", and said with a smile: "Before the emperor left, he handed over the defense inside and outside the city to the general, and specially instructed that if there is an order for the army, the holy decree must be handed over to the general for inspection." General Yang, please make it convenient. ”

Yang Su wrote this edict to deal with Changsun Sheng, so Yang Xuangan was not in a hurry, and generously handed the edict to Changsun Sheng.

Changsun Sheng spread out the edict and looked at it carefully, Yang Xuangan carefully observed the expression on his face, wanting to see his thoughts from it, while Li Mi smiled and rode on the horse, looking at the surrounding scenery, and didn't seem to be too concerned about this matter.

After reading it, Changsun Sheng laughed, returned the holy decree to Yang Xuangan, and said, "Sure enough, it is the emperor's seal, there will be no mistake." ”

Yang Xuangan felt that a stone in his heart fell to the ground, rolled up the holy decree, put it in his arms, bowed his hand, and said: "General Changsun, the last general still has military affairs, so I will go to the East Palace to transfer General Yuwen, and I will not accompany you." ”

Changsun Sheng stretched out a hand, blocked Yang Xuangan's way, and said with a smile: "General Yang, don't be impatient." ”

Yang Xuangan's heart sank, but his face was indifferent: "What else does General Changsun have to advise?" ”

The smile on Changsun Sheng's face slowly faded, and his expression became stern: "General Yang, this edict says that General Yu's headquarters in Renshou Palace and General Yuwen's headquarters in the East Palace now need to be reversed. But why didn't General Yang bring General Yu's troops over? ”

Yang Xuangan had already thought of words along the way. He said in a calm tone: "Renshou Palace is where the emperor and the crown prince are now. You can't go on any business trips, so the emperor specially instructed that the remaining troops of the East Palace should be brought over first, and after the change of defense is completed, then the general's troops will return to the city. ”

Changsun Sheng let out a soft "oh" and continued to ask, "Then isn't the East Palace unguarded during this time?" The prince's family is now in the East Palace, so I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Yang Xuangan replied fluently: "The emperor said, let General Yuwenshu leave a team of men and horses to defend the interior of the East Palace. And the defense outside the East Palace still needs to be bothered by General Changsun, and when General Yu's large army returns, it can be handed over normally. ”

Changsun Sheng had a surprised expression on his face: "Really? But just now I didn't see the sentence in the edict that troops should be sent to help defend the East Palace. ”

Yang Xuan felt "Geden" in his heart, and secretly shouted that it was not good, his father forgot to take this into account when he hurriedly drafted the decree, and was directly asked by Changsun Sheng. But Yang Xuangan's eyes rolled and he laughed: "General Changsun, the incident happened suddenly, and the emperor directly issued this edict and said such a sentence when he handed it over to the last general." The last general didn't have time to read this edict all the way, and thought it had been written into the holy decree. ”

Changsun Sheng nodded. A flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Since it is a virtuous nephew, I must be convinced, not to mention that there is a holy purpose for this, there is no possibility of cheating, it is the general who is too worried, General Yang, how much offense." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, General Changsun is hard." He really didn't want to grind like this with Changsun Sheng anymore, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he wanted to gallop forward.

Changsun Sheng said suddenly: "General Yang is slow, there is one more thing." ”

Yang Xuangan was tossed and was about to vomit blood, but he could only make a relaxed and respectful demeanor, stopped, and asked with a smile: "What else does General Changsun have to teach?" ”

"Well, that's the case, since it is said that it is to help defend the East Palace, it is better for the general to order troops and horses and accompany the general to the East Palace, otherwise if the general directly takes General Yu's troops away, and the East Palace is undefended, wouldn't it be dangerous? Since the emperor has issued an order to assist in the defense of the East Palace, I should act according to the order, what does General Yang want? ”

Yang Xuangan's palms were about to sweat, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said: "General Changsun, I'm afraid it's not necessary, what is clearly written on the holy decree is to ask me to quickly transfer the troops of the East Palace and the troops of the Renshou Palace to change the guard, if I go with you to transfer the troops now, I am afraid that it will be a delay in time, you see how this is, I will go to the East Palace first, you will immediately go to the general to transfer the troops, and come directly to assist in the defense, it will take time for the whole team to set off in the East Palace." ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head: "General Yang, for you, taking away the troops of the East Palace to change the defense is the first priority, but for the general, ensuring the safety inside and outside the Daxing City is the most important thing, not to mention that you said that there is an edict from the emperor, and you want the general to assist in the defense of the East Palace, how can the general be so hasty." ”

"Renshou Palace now has General Yu's troops there, there will be no problem, and the East Palace involves the foundation of the world, if the guards are all gone, it will give traitors and thieves a chance to take advantage of, don't be careless, you better go with me first, the army of the guards is three miles outside the west gate, and it will be there soon."

Yang Xuangan was dumb all of a sudden, he glanced at Li Mi, Li Mi's face was also sinking like water, and he shook his head, obviously he didn't have any good way. So Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth and smiled at Changsun Sheng: "That's what General Qiyi said." ”

Changsun Sheng commanded a few words to a herald behind him, the soldier galloped back to the city, and the heavy gate slowly closed again, Changsun Sheng made a gesture of invitation to Yang Xuangan and the two, and then took the lead and ran towards the military camp visible to the naked eye in the distance, followed by more than ten entourage guards.

Yang Xuangan didn't follow immediately, but slowly walked to Li Mi's side and asked in a low voice, "What now?" ”

Li Mi's face was solemn: "I'm afraid that Changsun Sheng has become suspicious, before he leaves, he should have given an order to close all the city gates and not allow entry and exit, but now he can only act at the opportunity, and he must bite this holy decree to the death It is indeed an order from the emperor himself." In case Changsun Sheng wants to take us down, the eldest brother must leave the younger brother alone, kill himself out of the camp, and find a way to rush into Daxing, as long as he connects with the troops of the East Palace, and there is a holy will, Changsun Sheng has no choice. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Brother Mi, according to what you said, you must not be reluctant when you really get to that point." If you can't escape, you will pretend to surrender first. Big brother will definitely come back to save you. ”

Li Mi smiled. showed a mouthful of white teeth: "The little brother is not afraid, the eldest grandson is not interested in the younger brother, and the younger brother is sure that he can convince the eldest grandson general." ”

In Yang Xuan's surprised gaze, Li Mi hit his horse and chased after Changsun Sheng with a trail of smoke and dust.

In a dense grove outside the west gate of Daxing City, Wang Shichong's hungry wolf-like eyes stared at the scene that happened at the city gate just now, and Pei Shiju stood beside him, his palms were full of sweat. It wasn't until Yang Xuangan and Li Mi left that they let out a long breath.

Wang Shichong smiled and said to Xu Gai, Dou Jiande, and Xue Rengao, who were all armed around him: "Three, it seems that something big has happened in Renshou Palace, and now it's time for us to appear." ”

A moment later, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi walked into the garrison of the Tunwei army in the three miles west of Beijing. This army was formed by the soldiers of each county in turn, and the camp was always set up here, but the soldiers were changed every few months.

Since Changsun Sheng returned to Beijing after completely handling the affairs of the Turks a year ago, he was awarded the position of the general of the Right Tunwei by Yang Jian, during the Taiping period. There was no war, and most of the soldiers in the counties were disbanded and returned to farm. In addition to the standing troops on each side, there are only a small number of security forces in the inland counties, and the Great Sui implements the government soldier system, and the government soldiers from all over the country need to take turns to enter Beijing once every three years to serve as guards, which is called Fanshang.

Since Yuan Min, the general of the left leading army, was involved in the case of Yang Yong and was killed, and the general of the right leading army, Yuan Guan, was dismissed in collusion with Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, the Fanshang troops outside the city of Daxing have not had an official commander, and it was not until Changsun Sheng returned to Beijing that he was awarded the general of the right tunwei, and then he was officially in charge of the western camp of Beijing.

Now there are 50,000 troops in this garrison camp, but except for the twelve outer city gates of Daxing that are sent in turn, other soldiers are not allowed to enter the city.

The defense of the Daxing Palace and the Prince's East Palace was handed over to the 10,000 Xiaoguo guards, and now 5,000 Xiaoguo are under Yu Zhongwen in Renshou Palace, and the other 5,000 people are guarding the East Palace.

As soon as Yang Xuangan entered the Chinese military account in the Tunwei military camp, he saw Changsun Sheng sitting in the middle, and the two rows were standing with ghost-headed broadswords, and the knife and axe hands with their breasts exposed on their left side were murderous.

Yang Xuangan had seen this pomp and circumstance when he went to Xue Ju's Captain's Mansion last time, and he didn't panic, he stepped forward without changing his face and gave a military salute to Changsun Sheng, but Changsun Sheng had a dark face and didn't return the salute, but just "hummed" heavily.

Yang Xuangan suppressed the excitement and uneasiness in his heart, and said in a gentle tone: "General Changsun, please give an order now, transfer the auxiliary defense troops, and enter the city to the East Palace with the last general." ”

Changsun Sheng stood up suddenly, "snapped", slapped the handsome case in front of him fiercely, and roared violently: "Yang Xuangan, you are so bold, you dare to fake the holy decree?!" What do you want to do! ”

Although Yang Xuangan had already been mentally prepared, he still felt a pang in his heart when he saw the appearance of the living Yama King of Changsun Sheng wanting to eat people, and said in a deep voice at the moment: "General Changsun, the last general doesn't know what you are talking about!" This decree is clearly stamped with a seal, and you have seen it just now, why do you say that the last will be falsely proclaimed? ”

Changsun Sheng raised his head and laughed, his voice was like a owl, which shocked the hearts of the people with a burst of blood and qi, laughed, lowered his head and said fiercely: "General Liben just went to see the emperor the day before yesterday, when the emperor was already lying on the bed, he couldn't even speak, but what did you say today The emperor personally ordered you to transfer troops, this handwriting is obviously not from the emperor, but from the hand of your father Yang Su, how do you explain?" ”

Yang Xuangan didn't know how to answer, so he only heard Li Mi behind him say: "General Changsun's words are wrong, when did the holy decree be written by the emperor himself?" It has always been written by the internal history order or the internal history waiter, and now the emperor is in Renshou Palace, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Xue Daoheng, the internal history servant, are not present, so it is naturally written by the Yue Guogong? ”

Changsun Sheng's eyes swelled, staring at Li Mi motionlessly, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Li Mi calmly saluted: "The last general, Li Mi, is now preparing for the prince's mansion, due to the issue of the defense and delivery of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered the last general to be responsible for the security work of the East Palace after General Yuwen led his troops to leave, until General Yu's change of guard troops returned." ”

Changsun Sheng nodded, and his tone softened: "It turned out to be the prince of Pushan County." Did you see with your own eyes that the emperor issued this holy decree? ”

Li Mi's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "Exactly." ”

With a "snap", Changsun Sheng slapped his palm on the case again, and a thunderous roar echoed in the tent: "Li Mi! You even dare to rebel with Yang Xuangan! ”

Li Mi was slightly stunned at first. In an instant, he regained his composure and composure. smiled: "Why did General Changsun say this? ”

Changsun Sheng's face was full of murderous anger. said coldly: "The emperor is obviously already ill, but you say that the emperor can personally issue an edict and give an order in person, just now Yang Xuangan said that it was the emperor's edict, and after being exposed by the general, you Li Mi came to play a round again, and the statements of the two people contradicted each other." ”

"Besides, the emperor had personally explained to the general before leaving, no matter who it was. As long as you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of this great prosperity, including the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, you must hold the tiger talisman, now is an extraordinary period, it is related to the country, the foundation of the country, how can it be possible to transfer troops into the Renshou Palace to guard with an edict, what is this not a rebellion? ”

Li Mi smiled slightly: "How can we guess the emperor's thoughts?" The two of us are only responsible for the herald, and nothing else. Besides, this is an inter-force transfer. It's not just to transfer the soldiers of the East Palace into the guard! ”

"General Changsun, you said that you can be in charge of the defense of a qiē army in this Daxing City. May I ask you now have the right to transfer General Yuwen of the East Palace? ”

Changsun Sheng didn't expect Li Mi to say this, and he was speechless for a while.

Li Mi continued: "General Changsun, I won't tell you, we still have a secret decree here, which cannot be shown to outsiders, the emperor specially ordered that it can only be seen by you alone, and I also ask you to order the left and right to retreat first, I two are in this army anyway, and it is impossible to get out without your general's order." When he said this, his eyes were level with Changsun Sheng, and his eyes were silent, but there was a sense of perseverance in his tone.

Changsun Sheng thought for a while, waved his hand at the swords and axes on the left and right, and said: "All retreat, no one is allowed within a hundred steps of the handsome tent, a hundred steps away, seven surroundings, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order, and violators will be killed!" ”

Left and right made a violent promise and withdrew from the tent, Li Mi nodded at Yang Xuangan: "Big brother, go to the tent and take a look, the secret decree will be shown next, the matter is serious, and no one should approach." ”

Yang Xuangan knew that Li Mi was going to have a showdown with this eldest Sun Sheng, so he nodded, stood at the door, and looked at the soldiers who were busy mobilizing like ants outside, their faces were as heavy as water, but their hands were pressed on the hilt of the sword. He made up his mind, if the negotiation failed, he would fight a bloody way to enter the city, he still had this self-confidence, as for the secret brother, although he was reluctant, he could only stay here temporarily.

After Li Mi heard the neighing of the horses outside, he gradually calmed down, and said to Changsun Sheng: "General Changsun, there is no secret decree, we only have the edict in our hands, I want to know how you can see that this edict is fake." ”

Changsun Sheng looked at Li Mi carefully and nodded: "Li Mi, you are really a young man and an old man, and you and Yang Xuangan are really literate and martial, complementing each other." Yes, what I said about the Tiger Talisman Token transfer army is also fake, and the real agreement can't be told to you now, as long as you know that I and the emperor have our own code. ”

"Why do you want to falsely spread the holy decree and transfer the soldiers of the East Palace into the guard? The emperor has been a prince for so many years, and he can't wait for just a few days? Do you have to do this? ”

Li Mi stared at Changsun Sheng motionlessly, and said slowly: "Why does General Changsun think that we are coming to change the guard to be unfavorable to the emperor?" If it is really unfavorable to the emperor, now Renshou Palace is also the East Palace guard, so why do you need to go near and far? ”

Changsun Sheng suddenly laughed: "Li Mi, should you be a three-year-old child?" You know best what kind of person Yu Zhongwen is, and what kind of person Yu Wenshu is, if he wants to kill the monarch with a black hand, Yu Zhongwen can't do it, and even if he is willing to do it, the guards under him who are originally Yang Yong are likely to stop it. But Yuwenshu has the courage to do this, and his subordinates are the guards of the original Jin Palace. That's why you want to change your guard, dare you say no? ”

Li Mi shook his head: "General Changsun, you think too much, if you really want to be unfavorable to the emperor, do you think that with my eldest brother's ability, it is the easiest and most straightforward to rush directly into the palace with a sword, and you still need to transfer troops and change defenses?" My eldest brother is known as Xiang Yu in the world, and you don't know his skills. ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head: "Li Mi, you are a smart person, if Yang Xuangan really dares to do this, he is the culprit who killed the king, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, their Yang family will be exterminated, who would do such a stupid thing?" ”

Li Mi waved his hand: "No, no, no, according to the words of General Changsun, after Yuwenshu's troops arrive at Renshou Palace, someone will do this murderous thing, so the person who will do it will not be afraid of extermination?" Since everyone is not stupid and dare not do this kind of thing, then what does the general have to worry about this change of guard order? ”

Changsun Sheng gave Li Mi such an anti-general, Rao is so witty that he couldn't answer at once for a while, just touched his beard and looked at Li Mi motionlessly.

Li Mi looked at Yang Xuangan at the tent door, rolled his eyes, turned his head to Changsun Sheng and said: "It's not a secret, this order to transfer troops is indeed from the crown prince, but the purpose is not to disadvantage the emperor, but to prevent the former prince Yang Yong in the East Palace." ”

A cold killing intent flashed in Changsun Sheng's eyes, and he disappeared in a flash, and asked lightly: "Oh, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Mi smiled: "General Changsun is so smart, I don't need to say it clearly, although Li Mi is not talented, he also knows that the general is also hesitant and in a dilemma now." (To be continued......)
