(Xie: The monthly pass of the Great Filthy Sky Brothers.) ）

"Cousin, the current situation seems that I am now a rat in the bellows, angry at both ends." Wang Yuandao.

Li Xin'er covered her mouth and laughed, feeling that this metaphor was very vivid. Wang Yuan glared at her, and Li Xin'er hurriedly turned her head to look at him.

"Although I had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with Yang Guozhong, I still don't want to do it if I really want to be a spy and reveal the news to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that the dispute between Yang and Li will add fuel to the fire. It's not that I have to defend the Yang family, but I think about it from my own point of view. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "That's true, the biggest blessing for you at this moment is the Yang family, Yang Guozhong is not good for you, but it will make you the target of others' attacks, after all, everyone knows that your relationship with Yang Guozhong is extraordinary." ”

Wang Yuan said: "It is this reason, so far, I have gained a lot of benefits from following the Yang family, although Yang Guozhong is incompetent, but it is not enough for me to help others to bring him down." But the crown prince asked Li Fuguo to give an order not to disobey, if I didn't listen, how could they let me go. I don't want the prince and Li Fuguo to be annoyed with me, in fact, I still don't want to spoil the relationship with the prince. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "You still have to step on two boats?" I really don't know why you're doing this, it's very dangerous. ”

Wang Yuan couldn't say it clearly, he couldn't tell Gongsun Lan the direction of history, and in the future, Yang Guozhong would fall, and he must have an excuse to get out. And now he has to use Yang Guozhong's power to ascend to the throne, so this is an unwise move to step on two boats in the eyes of outsiders. But in fact, Wang Yuan knows better than anyone else what he is doing.

"Yes, I can't get out of it now, and it's impossible to draw a line with either party, because I know their secrets, and once my identity is exposed, I have only one way to die."

"That's true." Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Then what is the way to move this way?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Yang Guozhong didn't listen to my advice to fight Nanzhaoguo, I don't know what the result of this matter is, but I don't think it's as simple as Yang Guozhong thought." What's more troublesome is that he can't listen to me now, he has some prejudices against me, and the relationship between me and him is very bad now. At this time, I stayed in the capital and could not avoid him, but if I saw him, with his current state of mind, it would inevitably lead to another dispute and expand the conflict. Therefore, I think it is far away from the capital to have a cold treatment. The so-called out of sight is clean, and it may not be a good way to stay away from the other party and calm down before the relationship breaks down. ”

"So that's what you think, it sounds like there's some truth." Gongsun Lan said thoughtfully: "However, leaving the capital can prevent Li Fuguo from forcing you to spy on the Yang family's intelligence every day, and you also have a reason to prevaricate this matter, so it seems that it is indeed the best of both worlds." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Cousin is smart, that's what I think, I call it unprovoked and can afford to hide." The matter of attacking Nanzhao Kingdom will have results within a few months. At that time, if he captures Nanzhao, Yang Guozhong will be the first credit, and His Majesty will be extremely happy, and no one will go against him without interest at that time. If it is not successful, Yang Guozhong himself will dig a hole for himself, and Li Linfu and all forces will work together to knock Yang Guozhong down. In both cases, the crown prince Li Fuguo and they don't need to continue to force me to spy on the news. The former is unwise, the latter is unnecessary. When I returned to Beijing, I was no longer bothered. ”

Gongsun Lan thought for a while and said, "You are going to work outside Beijing, but once you leave the capital, it will be difficult to come back." Moreover, the matter of external transfer will be mistaken by Yang Guozhong for you to stay away, I am afraid that he will misunderstand you even more. ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have thought about this, it is not my intention to stay away from the court, unless I don't want to go further, I will never be released as an official." Being in the capital means being in the center of power, and there are more opportunities. Therefore, if I want to leave the capital, what I need is a temporary official position, just like when I went to Beihai County, when the matter is over, I can return to Beijing, instead of going to work for a long time. ”

"How can there be such a suitable official position? How could Yang Guozhong agree? If he doesn't nod, you won't be able to go there. ”

"He will agree, there is an official position that has been vacant for more than half a year, and there is no successor so far, and that is the post of Hebei Provincial Envoy. When Li Shizhi found out that An Lushan and Li Linfu had property exchanges, Xi Jianhou, who held this position, was suddenly killed, and An Lushan said that he was ambushed and killed by the Khitan cavalry, but in fact, everyone knew that it was An Lushan's murder. No one is willing to hold the position of this deposed envoy so far, it is nothing more than that the deposed envoy of Hebei Province wants to deal with An Lushan, and An Lushan is a person that no one wants to mess with, so it is still vacant. ”

Gongsun Lan was stunned and said, "You want to ask for the position of this deposed envoy? You once said that An Lushan was a wolf, and the envoy was sent by the imperial court to supervise his behavior, and Xi Jianhou's affairs were in front of him, didn't you consider the danger? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Of course I know that it is not easy to deal with An Lushan, but this position is exactly what I need. Yang Guozhong has mentioned more than once that he wants to spy on An Lushan, and he is wary of An Lushan's secret collusion with Li Linfu, if I take the initiative to ask Ying to help him spy on An Lushan's truth, he will not only agree, but also improve his opinion of me. As for the danger, I'm not particularly worried, I can't be stupid enough to go against An Lushan, it's his territory, I don't want to die. The errand is just perfunctory, and it will never be serious. ”

Gongsun Lan thought silently for a moment and said, "Although you say so, I still feel that something is wrong, can there be other official positions that can replace the position of this deposed envoy." You also said that this person is a person of a foreign race, and he is ruthless and ambitious, so it may not be a good idea to go to his territory. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Did I say that An Lushan is a wolf?" ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "Of course you have said it, you have said it more than once, I also asked you, you and An Lushan have only met a few times, how did you know his wolf ambitions, you mysteriously said that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, are you just talking?" ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said, "Okay, even if I said it." But there is no more important position than this position that allows Yang Guozhong to take the initiative to let me go out of Beijing, and there is no problem in my heart. Moreover, Yang Guozhong recommended me to this position, which just gave me a reason to reply to Li Fuguo. If I had asked to leave Beijing to take up a post, Li Fuguo might have suspected me of deliberately evading me. The danger is a little dangerous, but An Lushan is not a man-eating devil, he is also the envoy of the imperial court, I am the envoy of the Qincha, as long as I don't offend him, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, my cousin will accompany me, and if there is danger, won't my cousin save me? ”

Gongsun Lan was stunned and said, "When did I promise to go with you?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I haven't asked yet, so my cousin naturally didn't agree." When I come back after I have won this errand, I will formally ask my cousin, and my cousin will not refuse me. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "You are talking to yourself and making decisions for others, but I may not agree." The cold winter is coming, and the land of Fanyang is a barren land on the border, with heavy wind and snow, and the harsh winter is difficult, and I don't want to suffer. You may not be able to survive this body. ”

Li Xin'er finally interjected: "If the master doesn't go, I'll go, I'll protect Erlang, and I'm not afraid of the cold." ”

Wang Yuan laughed and got up and said: "Let's go back and talk about this, I want to go to Zuo Xiangfu in the evening, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible, and it is better for me to leave Beijing as soon as possible." ”

……

Yang Guozhong was very surprised by Wang Yuan's request to serve as the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, although he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, he didn't want Wang Yuan to go to Fanyang's ghost place. No one in the court wants to deal with An Lushan, and they all know that this fat man of different races seems to be honest and cute, but he is actually full of flowers. After Xi Jianhou's incident, no one was willing to serve as the envoy of the deposed army, although this was a Qin official, and no one was willing to be in the limelight.

For Yang Guozhong, An Lushan's hostility was obvious. There has always been an entangled relationship between An Lushan and Li Linfu, and now that he and Li Linfu are political enemies, An Lushan is naturally classified as an opponent.

There is a more important relationship that Xuanzong is very good to An Lushan, and the good ones are a little overindulgent. is also a favored minister, Yang Guozhong is very uncomfortable in his heart. Not to mention that he could see that An Lushan was actually not An Lushan in Xuanzong's eyes, so he wanted to find an opportunity to expose his face. , it is best to be able to bring down An Lushan.

Since he became the left minister, the military department and the household department are all his own people, and Yang Guozhong has also mastered the expenditure of Fan Yang's military and political affairs. When a large amount of materials and money were allocated to An Lushan in the name of building Xiongwu City, Yang Guozhong wanted to know what had become of this Xiongwu City, which Xuanzong had said hello to and built with unlimited money and food. Whether these goods and materials were actually used to build the city. Maybe by investigating this matter, we can get some evidence and prepare for the impeachment of An Lushan. However, there has been no right person and opportunity to implement it.

Now Wang Yuan took the initiative to ask for help, although Yang Guozhong was a little worried about Wang Yuan's safety, but if Wang Yuan went, with his ability, once he retreated, he might really be able to bring back the information he wanted.

This has a great attraction for Yang Guozhong.
