Hou Jing really wrote the silk letter in three copies. One was played in the Son of Heaven Yuan Shanjian and one was sent to Southern Liang, and the other was sent to Emperor Xiao Yan and Prince Xiao Gang of Liang by using Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, and the other was sent to Western Wei City, entered Chang'an City, and was placed on the bookcase of Yuwentai, the prime minister of Chu and Chu.

Hou Jing sent Yuwentai's book case not only this silk book that denounced Gao Cheng and complained about grievances. There is also a plea that takes this opportunity to show endless grievances and beg for redemption.

Hou Jing said that King Gao died suddenly, and Yecheng had no place to stay. I am willing to lead the troops to the west, in order to help the king of Chu with a hand, to unify the great cause, so that the two Wei can be combined into one, and the scene of the heyday will be reproduced.

Hou Jingyan thought that Yuwentai was the culprit who split the Great Wei, and he must not be able to let go of this section in his heart. So he expressed his willingness to help Yuwentai unify the society again.

Yu Wentai is ambitious, how can Hou Jing not know.

Chang'an City has finally survived the successive big and small turmoil over the years.

The Guanzhong Plain, which has been plagued by natural disasters for many years, has also survived unyieldingly.

Although there have been many bloody changes in the palace, since the young emperor succeeded to the throne, all the palace changes have ended.

Yuwentai has become the real master of the Western Wei Dynasty, although he has not yet been corrected, but this is also a matter of time.

Summer days are hot, and only in the early mornings are cool.

On the high city wall of the palace city of Wei Palace, the prime minister Yuwen Taizheng walked slowly on the horse road with the Taishi, the general of the Zhu State Yu Jin, and the Taibao and the general of the Zhu State Zhao Gui.

Yuwentai looks inside and outside the palace: the palaces in the inner city are overlapped, and you can't see the end at a glance, which is already quite meteorological. It is no longer the humble place where the official office was temporarily rebuilt at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Looking at the outer city, the layout of Chang'an City is layered and orderly. The bustling market is a symbol of the growing strength of the country.

Yuwentai's heart was unprecedentedly comfortable. He can finally do his best to guide the world, and then let the horses chase the deer in the Central Plains, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish. There have been too many times that have been wasted in the past.

Zhao Gui saw Yuwentai stop and followed first.

"King, I don't know whether what Hou Jing said in that silk book is true or false, don't pay attention to him. But Hou Jing is absolutely not credible. If the king really opened the door to accept him, wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house? The consequences are unpredictable. Zhao Gui also read Hou Jing's silk book. Although he can probably know Yuwentai's thoughts, he is still not at ease.

Yu Jin also followed and listened to Zhao Gui and Yu Wentai talking.

Zhao Gui glanced at Yu Jin. "Sijing also knows Hou Jing's personality." This is to hope that Yu Jin will express his position with him.

"King," Yu Jin didn't say anything, he had other ideas. Gao Huan has been dead for several months before Gao Cheng dares to mourn, it can be seen that he also understands that he can't suppress those old courtiers. It's Dongkou's little emperor Yuan Shanjian, and a few clan kings who are not easy to mess with, which is enough for Gao Cheng to have a headache. Hou Jing sprinkled silk books all over the world and said that Gao Cheng was not, and he would not be unsure to do this. Maybe he had a secret agreement with Yuan Shanjian and the clan for a long time, so he dared to resist Gao Cheng so blatantly. He just wanted to make Gao Cheng angry, anyway, Gao Cheng didn't have enough prestige now, and he didn't dare to do anything to him. He secretly had Yuan Shanjian and the help of the clan, so he took this opportunity to fight with Gao Cheng. The king didn't have to pay attention to Hou Jing, so he let him and Gao Cheng fight each other, and it was not right to mess up Yecheng? ”

Zhao Gui laughed and said, "Brother Sijing is extremely clever. ”

Zhao Gui has never been so comfortable.

Yu Wentai listened to the two of them talking with relish.

"Si Jing thinks that Hou Jing should stay away?" Behind Yuwentai is the splendid palace city, which looks particularly majestic. The wind was strong on the city wall, and his big sleeves and clothes fluttered.

By this time, the sun was already rising. Yuwentai looks extraordinarily leisurely. Yu Jin and Zhao Gui both felt that Yuwentai seemed to have returned to the past few months, when he was a subordinate general under the throne of He Bayue in Daxingtai.

At that time, Yu Wentai was a person who always felt like a bamboo. Later, when he encountered a mutation and an opportunity, he became the master of Guanzhong step by step. There are too many things that have been experienced in the middle, and the ** in Yuwentai's heart is too strong, so people are often very anxious and even tyrannical.

At this time, Yuwentai had a kind of temperament that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. Because he has experienced too much, it is difficult to cause any more waves in his heart.

"Hou Jing is not profitable, the king understands." Yu Jin was not polite when he spoke to Yuwentai.

Yu Jin also knew that only when the Western Wei Dynasty became stronger and stronger, would he be able to talk about what etiquette education would be available in the future. Based on unstable time and space, stressing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom is in vain to arouse ridicule, and you may suffer yourself.

"Sijing is wrong." Yu Wentai smiled, "Write back to Hou Jing immediately." Let's just say that if I can really get his help, I can't ask for it. It's just that King Gao and I are brothers, and I am afraid of King Gao's might, so I really don't dare to take him in, for fear that King Gao will be responsible. If he can convince King Gao to avoid a big war, turn the war into a jade silk, and reunify the two Weis, I am willing to serve the young emperor to follow him. ”

Zhao Gui laughed and said, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful." The reason for this is magnificent. If he really dares to say it, not only Gao Cheng hates him, but even Yuan Shanjian hates him. How could Yuan Shanjian be willing to suddenly come and compete with him for the throne? If Hou Jing didn't dare to say this to Gao Cheng, he would blame Gao Cheng for the reason, but he was afraid that the hatred would be deeper and he would have no obstacles with the king. ”

Yu Jin also nodded and smiled.

Yu Wentai said with a smile, "Hou Jing, staying by his side is to raise tigers. It's best that he can stay in Yecheng and fight against Gao Cheng from time to time, presumably King Gao has no intention of doing anything. Hou Jing alone would have to spend countless hours of his energy. Whether it's in Yecheng or in Yuzhou, Hou Jing has a way to always mess up the world. We happened to be far away in Chang'an to wait and see how King Gao could clean up the mess. ”

None of the three of them mentioned whether the words about Gao Cheng that Hou Jing said in the silk book were true or false.

Coincidentally. Jiankang, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, also talked about this silk book.

In the middle of summer in the south of the Yangtze River, the summer heat is better than that of Chang'an in Guanzhong.

Jiankang is a kind of calm that is accustomed to prosperity and does not know about change. This calmness has long become a lazy habit. Everyone doesn't know that things in the world always change over and over again, and they think that every day is the same leisurely and comfortable.

Emperor Xiao Yan is still obsessed with Buddhism. I spent much more time at Tongtai Temple than I did in the palace. There is always more time to chant sutras and worship the Buddha than to govern the country.

In fact, Liang Guo is already in charge of the crown prince Xiao Gang.

Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, and Xiao Gang, the crown prince, are getting closer and closer. Whether it is Emperor Xiao Yan or Prince Xiao Gang, they are all soft-hearted people, and they all regard Xiao Zhengde as their own son and brother.

Xiao Zhengde is not a person with great ambitions, but he is greedy for fame. Now he is content.

The seventh prince, Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, was a proton in Yecheng, and Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong, was a lot quieter. The crown prince Xiao Gang and the king of Linhe County, Xiao Zhengde, felt that Xiao Yi was a scourge. It's a pity that he took the opportunity to raise troops, and the soldiers came to Sizhou and did not affect Xiao Yi.

On the contrary, he didn't prevent it, Xiao Yi wrote a letter to complain to Emperor Xiao Yan through Wang Seng Defense. The blood book saw that Emperor Xiao Yan burst into tears. The emperor is hard-hearted to others, but he can only be soft-hearted to his children and nephews.

The crown prince Xiao Gang listened to the words of Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, and rashly raised troops, regardless of the safety of his seventh brother, which was of course also Hou Jing's secret instigation. And although Emperor Xiao Yan scolded the prince, according to his previous habits, it was over after scolding, and he did not blame the prince too much.

This time, Hou Jing's silk book was delivered, and Xiao Zhengde immediately sent the silk book to the crown prince Xiao Gang to read.

The two of them read the silk book and were almost so excited that they got up. Seeing the chaos in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, although they did not see any clues for a while, they didn't know what kind of mentality, Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhengde both felt that the rebellion of their neighbors was beneficial to them.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhengde presented this silk book to Emperor Liang. Xiao Yan felt that it was better to sit back and watch the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty than to raise troops again. Therefore, he no longer said the mistakes of the prince Xiao Gang before, but praised him for knowing the current affairs.

Emperor Liang's mind moved, and Xiao Zhengde's mind also moved.

Xiao Zhengde knew that Hou Jing had returned to Yuzhou. As soon as he published this silk book, he broke with Gao Cheng publicly. According to Xiao Zhengde's thoughts, it is better to win over and let Hou Jing submit to Liang. In this way, there is not only a trilogy, but also a large area of land in Yuzhou, which is a good thing.

And Xiao Zhengde also has an idea in his heart. He and Hou Jing have always been good friends, and if Hou Jing really demotes the beam, he will become his confidant, and he can just be used by him. Hou Jing's subordinates and cities have all become his backing.

But in any case, Hou Jing's silk book is also widely known in the Liang Kingdom, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows it.

Black Dragon Pond Palace, because of the vigorous water system and many trees, is a good place to escape the heat in summer.

No matter how much the Liang government and the opposition are ready to move, at least the Black Dragon Pond Palace is still quiet.

The shallow stream is clear and you can see the pebbles at the bottom of the water. On the bamboo pavilion in the stream, Princess Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua of Liyang stood one by one.

The princess strokes the qin, and the sheep stand still. Both are focused on themselves. Xiao Qiongju's piano skills have been perfected. There is no sense of abruptness, no artificiality, which makes people unforgettable and addicted.

Yang Shunhua's dark eyes were as clear as a spring, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she looked at the sky and ancient trees across the stream in front of her. is still white like snow, cold and arrogant.

Xiao Qiongju finished playing a song, and felt even more depressed and melancholy. She stood up and walked to the fence of the bamboo pavilion.

Yang Shunhua's thoughts also sobered up and walked to Xiao Qiongju's side.

"Sister, have you read that silk book? What does Yang Shangshu say? Xiao Qiongju's words were hidden in her heart for a few days.

Of course, Yang Shunhua knew which silk book she was talking about. There is nothing I don't know about this silk book in the entire Daliang temple now.

"Naturally, I haven't seen it. I just heard the eldest brother talk about it. My father and eldest brother talked about it. "It is impossible for Yang Shunhua to see the silk book, the original is in the hands of Emperor Xiao Yan.

But Shang Shu Yang Kan must have seen it.

Xiao Qiongju had eyes and swept around in that wood. She now turned to Yang Shunhua.

Father said......" Yang Shunhua hesitated, she just remembered that it was not easy to say. But she said it anyway. "Father said that Gao Cheng may not be a good person...... "Yang Shunhua never mentioned Gao Cheng in front of the princess." Hou Jing is even more like a snake and scorpion, and he can't get close. said that the prince should not listen to the instigation of the king of Linhe and approached Hou Jing. ”

Xiao Qiongju has read the silk book. The original text was almost as good as she could recite word for word. is born with the ability to never forget, not to mention that it involves Gao Cheng.

"Hou Jing is a sinister and cunning person, and the King of Bohai may not be his opponent." Xiao Qiongju was still a little strange when she read the words "King of Bohai" in her mouth. "He denounced the things of the King of Bohai, and only an ignorant man and wife would believe it."

"What does the husband and wife have to do with this?" Yang Shunhua immediately understood what the princess meant. Xiao Qiongju is saying that it doesn't matter if these are Gao Cheng's doings, it doesn't matter if Gao Cheng does them or not. With Hou Jing's own personality, Gao Cheng should suppress him. As for other things, only Hou Jing himself was wronged, who would really think that Hou Jing was wronged? What's wrong with others?

But Hou Jing wants to make these things up and expose them to the world, how can Gao Cheng really go to find people to refute them one by one, and still argue with his husband and wife? Naturally, everyone in the world thinks that the prime minister of Great Wei and the king of Bohai are not good people. The more arguments there are, the more criticism will be aroused.

"It's so sinister, and some people think he can be used and want to win him over. I'm not afraid of ignition**. And think yourselves wise. Xiao Qiongju's tone was full of mockery.

She was talking about Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County.

"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe him, it's useless for him to say anything." Yang Shunhua understood what the princess was referring to.

"Even the idea of the grandson was noted, saying that Hou Jingsheng praised the grandson for his wisdom and martial arts, and he was like a prince." Xiao Qiongju's thoughts about Xiao Zhengde have long been clear. She has always had a bad impression of Hou Jing, and always felt that he was uneasy and kind to Liang Guo. But some people believe in Hou Jing like this.

"No matter how wise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, he is afraid that someone will deliberately deceive him." Yang Shunhua sighed. Her father was a loyal minister, and she saw no traitors in her eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Zhengde was the titular "eldest prince", she would have been rude to this person a long time ago.

Xiao Qiongju didn't know what she thought, and she unconsciously showed her worries. She hid from Yang Shunhua in front of her, and she did not shy away from her.

"Sister, I always have a bad premonition in my heart." Xiao Qiongju actually can't say what is bad about it. But I always feel that this situation of peace and quiet is too calm, as if there are some waves brewing.

Yang Shunhua also knows that the princess has changed a lot in recent years, and she is no longer the little lady who was raised in the deep palace and didn't understand the current situation. The emperor is a Buddha, the prince is weak, the grandson is young, and only the princess has worries about the family and country. But the princess is a woman after all, and she can't really take care of state affairs.

"Your Highness, don't worry, there is something big and the Lord is there. The Lord doesn't really care. My father and brother and I will do our best to protect the Lord, the Prince, the Grandson, and the Princess. Yang Shunhua couldn't think of anything that the princess was worried about. As long as the emperor and the clan are kept, what else will happen?

Xiao Qiongju suddenly remembered Gao Cheng's promise to her. Now there is her uncle, the Seventh Prince, Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, as a hostage in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The two countries are friendly, presumably Hou Jing has nothing to do.

Yang Shunhua and Xiao Qiongju did not take on Gao Cheng anymore. But at this time, both of them stopped talking, and they both thought of this person at the same time. And they don't have the habit of talking about this person as a topic.

Soon, Hou Jing in Yuzhou knew that things had gone his way. His silk books spread all over the world, and his grievances and the situation of being coerced by others are well known.

However, the Western Wei and Southern Liang did not respond much.

He received Yuwentai's reply, and he had a false pretense, but his attitude was ambiguous. A scheming person like Yuwentai doesn't need to be overly tempted, Yuwentai is not a person who will be easily persuaded without opinions. It seems that he wants to stay out of the matter, and has no intention of dealing with Gao Cheng with him.

Hou Jing originally thought that he had secretly given benefits to Yuwentai several times before, and even if Yuwentai would not reciprocate him, at least it would help him when his interests were aligned.

But he just didn't expect that Yuwentai would be so selfish and indifferent, completely out of the matter. Could it be that he really has affection for Gao Cheng? Hou Jing didn't believe this anyway. He only believed that he knew what kind of person Yuwentai was. When it comes to cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, no one in the world can compare to Yuwentai.

Hou Jing was upset that not only did Western Wei not respond, but even Southern Liang did not respond. Xiao Zhengde said a thousand good things before, but now there is no news.

Nanliang is still just the Jianwei general Lan Jing and not many soldiers and horses placed in Sizhou. What's going on? This point also indirectly shows Nanliang's attitude. On the surface, he supported him, but in fact he still didn't want to be an enemy of Gao Cheng.

What Hou Jing wants to know more now is what is the situation in Yecheng? It stands to reason that Emperor Yuan Shanjian should have received his silk book a long time ago. How will the emperor and the clan take the opportunity to make trouble and what big waves will they set off? This is what Hou Jing is most excited about.
