In the flower hall in the back hall of Mrs. Qin's mansion, the red charcoal fire is burning, and the room is as warm as spring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mrs. Qin Guo, dressed in fox fur, sat lazily on the chair, her beautiful face was flushed, and her fingers with bright red nails dyed with impatiens were slowly sipping tea with a steaming jade cup.

Yang Guozhong strode into the flower hall, bowed with his hand, and said with a smile: "Ho, the eighth sister is so comfortable, this tea is so fragrant, reward me with a cup of drink." ”

Mrs. Qin returned the salute with a smile, waved her hand, and two maidservants stepped forward, one of whom untied Yang Guozhong's cloak, and the other poured hot tea for Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong stretched out his hand and pinched the face of the beautiful maid in front of him, and the maid screamed in surprise and hurriedly escaped with her cloak. A hint of anger flashed across Lady Qin's face, which was immediately replaced by a smile.

Yang Guozhong sat down with a big prick, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, and praised: "Comfortable, good tea." After putting down the cup, she looked at Mrs. Qin Guo opposite and said with a smile: "Eighth sister seems to be very happy today." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo smiled: "How can you see it? ”

"You have a smile in the corners of your eyes and eyebrows, and a blind man can see it. It can't be because I'm a brother. Yang Guozhong said with a smile.

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned, Yang Guozhong knew that his words were excessive, and said with a dry laugh: "What is the Eighth Sister Teaching Sect inviting me for?" ”

Mrs. Qin Guo said: "I haven't seen my cousin for many days, so I asked my cousin to come and talk about it." Anyway, my cousin has been very busy lately, and he can't see you anymore. ”

Yang Guozhong reached out and threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "Don't mention it, I've been very busy lately." In the past two days, the people of Luoyang and other state capitals who fled blocked the city gate, and a lot of trouble came out. The government hall is very busy. Those people down there can't do anything, and I have to deal with everything myself. Hey, cousin, I'm a hard-working person, how can I have half a point of leisure. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo smiled: "What's so difficult? Just let the refugees into the city. They are also to blame the pitiful, the rebels are burning and looting everywhere, they are fleeing from their homes, and they are afraid that they will freeze to death in such weather. Let them into the city, and the court will help them, so that the people can live. ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes widened and said: "What you said is light, hundreds of thousands of refugees have poured into Chang'an, who will be responsible for what happened?" Do you dare to guarantee that the refugees are civilians? If An Lushan's fine work is mixed in the city, and after entering the city, he will do evil, then what? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned and said, "Are you so scared?" There are more than 100,000 forbidden troops in the city, so what can you do if you come in? Besides, most of these people are fleeing people, how can they watch them starve and cold outside the city? ”

Yang Guozhong waved his hand and said, "Eighth sister, you don't understand. I'd rather all of them starve and freeze to death outside the city than let them into the city. Does the safety of Chang'an matter, or the lives of these people? Blame that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, the 150,000 army did not move and did not counterattack Luoyang. That's why it's all about refugees, and it's making us anxious. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned and said, "I don't understand anymore and I know that human life can't be careless, how can I let them freeze to death and starve to death?" ”

Yang Guozhong waved his hand and said: "I don't raise the bar with you, this matter is not for you to worry about, you don't care." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo said: "Okay, then I'll take care of what I should do." I heard that His Majesty was going to issue an order to execute Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing for the crime of resisting the will and fearing the enemy, right? ”

Yang Guozhong smiled: "What? Have you entered the palace today? How is the concubine's health? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned and said, "The only thing you answer me is that what is the concubine's body, you yourself know better than me when you enter the palace every day." ”

Yang Guozhong listened to Mrs. Qin's unkind tone, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, I won't talk much." His Majesty is indeed going to give an order to behead Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing. These two people are too disagreeable, ignoring the trust of the imperial court and the kindness of His Majesty, holding an army of 150,000 people, they actually watched Luoyang being trampled on at the hands of thieves. A few days ago, His Majesty issued an order urging them after receiving the report, which already gave them a lot of face. Unexpectedly, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing wrote a strong word, saying that the thieves were powerful, and attacking Luoyang was the next strategy. What to say, according to guarding Tongguan and blocking the road of thieves to Chang'an, it is the best policy to wait for work. In the end, it's just a shirk for their cowardice. Your Majesty has been very tolerant of them, but they have failed Your Majesty and the imperial court, and even resisted several orders, and they are already suspected of supporting the army and respecting themselves. Your Majesty will not indulge them? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo said lightly: "I don't want to know what you said, as far as I know, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are good generals of my Tang Dynasty." When this national crisis is in place, it is always a little worrying to kill a good general. ”

"What do you know? Don't talk nonsense like this, Your Majesty is angry now, and whoever exculpates these two people is a sinner. Besides, how do you know that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are innocent? When there is chaos, wolf ambitions will take advantage of the chaos, and it is not known whether they are brewing a rebellion. ”

"Your words are not true, why did I hear that it was you who suggested killing them to give a wake-up call to all the leading generals? His Majesty was hesitant. In your mouth, His Majesty is going to kill them. ”

Yang Guozhong was a little embarrassed, and looked a little annoyed after being exposed to the lie, and frowned: "Eighth sister, I didn't say you, you seem to like to meddle with these things recently." I'm working hard in the court, isn't it for our Yang family? ”

The master of the Qin State said in a deep voice: "You just say if it is your proposal, just answer my question." ”

Yang Guozhong smacked his lips and said, "So what?" Indeed, I suggested it, and His Majesty agreed, and tomorrow the decree will be issued. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo shook her head slightly and said, "Cousin, you didn't do this properly, why did you kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, I don't understand." These two people have no grievances with my Yang family. I didn't say anything about you digging up Li Linfu's coffin and exposing the body before, but this time you may have to think twice. ”

Yang Guozhong straightened his chest and said, "Eighth sister, what do you know?" It seems that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing have nothing to do with my Yang family, but this person is extremely arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take my Yang family in his eyes at all. Several times I tried to make friends with him, he scoffed at him, which shows that he was arrogant and rude. And he has a heavy army, known as the first general of my Tang Dynasty, once such a person is used by others, he is my Yang family's fierce rival. For my Yang family to be able to stand on the court, for my use, we will naturally protect them, and we can't use them for me, even if his ability is greater than the sky, I can't be soft. This is the way for my Yang family to stand for a long time. ”

"Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, this is Li Linfu's set, Li Linfu's fate is in the past, do you still plan to do this?" Mrs. Qin said.

Yang Guozhong sneered: "Although Li Linfu is ruthless, he is not ruthless to a certain extent. That's why it ended up like that. And I'm going to do more than he did, and that's the lesson I learned. ”

Mrs. Qin's face was ugly, and she said in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you, do you want to kill Gao Xianzhi, have you considered Wang Yuan's feelings?" Gao Xianzhi and Wang Yuan are sworn brothers, if you kill Gao Xianzhi, what will happen to Wang Yuan? ”

Yang Guozhong thought for a while and said: "I did hesitate for a few days, but I can only make Wang Yuan unhappy, for the sake of our Yang family, I can't care about his feelings." It's no wonder that he didn't agree to me to win over Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi has his share of responsibility today. Even if he blamed me afterwards, I would admit it. He was cultivated by my Yang family, I hope he will not turn against my Yang family because of this matter, otherwise he will be the one who suffers. Eighth sister, I know you like him, but don't spoil a big deal for personal reasons, I believe you understand this. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo shook her head slightly, and then sneered: "Cousin, cousin, you keep saying that you are for the Yang family, but what you are doing is to push the Yang family into the fire pit." You're just for yourself. An Lushan's army is aimed at our Yang family, isn't that all due to your anger and resentment, and persecution of An Lushan everywhere? You haven't learned a lesson, and you have to kill people for your own selfishness, you are not doing this for the good of the Yang family, but for the harm of the Yang family. ”

Yang Guozhong suddenly changed color and said, "Eighth sister, how can you talk like this?" You...... You...... It's so chilling, I've worked so hard......"

Mrs. Qin Guo waved her hand to interrupt him and said, "In a word, find a way to keep Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, otherwise I will never agree." ”

Yang Guozhong slowly stood up and came: "Eighth sister, you are messing around, I don't mess around with you, I want to kill Gao Xianzhi, all those who are not good for my Yang family and are not used by me, I will kill all them." Eighth sister, you can't be kind to a woman, you can't be emotional. I see that you are fascinated by Wang Yuan, even if Wang Yuan appears in front of me now, I will still tell him that I will kill Gao Xianzhi, if he has half a nonsense, I will ...... I'm ......"

"What about you? Will you kill me too? A cool voice came from behind the curtain next to him, and the sound of footsteps sounded, in Yang Guozhong's stunned gaze, a person stood tall and jade, and walked out slowly with steady steps, this person was Wang Yuan.
