Chapter 426: Contingency

Yang Gongren came and went in a hurry, leaving Xianren Palace and rushing to the Eastern Capital.

This is Yang Gongren's first public appearance since his father Guan De Wang Yang Xiong died of illness, suspended and returned home to guard filial piety for several months, the eastern capital is very concerned from top to bottom, large and small political forces want to find clues about the future direction of the political situation in the eastern capital from Yang Gongren's whereabouts, and Yang Gongren did not disappoint everyone, the first person he visited after his "comeback" was Li Hun, the general of the right Xiaowei of the Wei Mansion, a military boss who directly pushed the situation in the eastern capital to a dangerous situation, and a "self-exile" It is not difficult to deduce that behind today's crisis in the Eastern Capital is essentially a "big **" in a new round of imperial disputes, and a political storm moved by the King of Qi is about to set off in the Eastern Capital.

Of course, those powerful people who control the top secrets are secretly sneering. They knew that the reason why Yang Gongren couldn't wait to visit Li Hun after his "comeback" was to find out the attitude and position of the King of Qi in the crisis of the Eastern Capital, and once the King of Qi did not "point" at the Eastern Capital as he expected, Yang Gongren would immediately cooperate with the King of Qi and reach a compromise and agreement with Li Hun, in order to form a situation of internal and external cooperation on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, and do his best to deal a heavy blow to the crisis makers and those who are behind the crisis. However, in the eyes of those powerful people, Yang Gongren's move was meaningless and purely wishful thinking, because King Qi would not miss such a good opportunity, if he missed it, and did not swear to the death at the moment of life and death, what would he do next? How could the Holy Lord and the Central Committee tolerate him to stay outside for a long time and threaten the authority of the Eastern Capital?

After Yang Gongren returned to the Eastern Capital, he neither went to the Yue Palace, nor went to the Imperial City, but returned directly to his own mansion.

Yang Gongren's younger brother Zong Zhengcheng Yang Gongdao, Yang Xu, the free rider, and Yang Shidao, the general secretary, were all anxiously waiting for the return of the eldest brother at home. Seeing that Yang Gongren returned safe and sound, the three of them were relieved, and at the same time they were looking forward to the outcome of the trip.

Yang Gongdao couldn't hold back for a while, and couldn't wait to ask, "Brother can I get the news of King Qi from Gong (Li Hun)?" ”

Yang Gongren nodded slightly, and said with a stern expression, "If what the public said is true, then the future development of the situation in the Eastern Capital is very different from our speculation. ”

"Did we make a mistake?" Yang Shidao asked in surprise, "Could it be that King Qi is not one of the driving forces behind this crisis?" His goal is not the emperor? Since he gave up the imperial throne and had no intention of fighting, why did he come to the Eastern Capital? ”

"That's what Gong said." Yang Gongren told him in detail what he heard from Li Hun about the future survival strategy of the King of Qi, "I think that the words of the Duke are worthy of trust, after all, if the King of Qi wants to achieve his goal, it is too difficult, and the only chance is to make full use of the crisis in the Eastern Capital to coerce the Holy Lord to meet his conditions, the lesser of two evils, and the possibility that the Holy Lord will finally be forced to agree to his conditions is very high, so the King of Qi must come to the Eastern Capital, and we must work together to ensure the safety of the Eastern Capital and the stability of the country. Only then will he have a chance to achieve his goal. ”

The three brothers Yang Gongdao, Yang Xu and Yang Shidao looked at each other in disbelief, this is King Qi's survival strategy? Really? Is it the fog deliberately released by the Duke of Guo in order to cover the King of Qi to enter the Eastern Capital and seize the imperial throne? If the King of Qi had such a big heart and great wisdom, how could he be reduced to such a bad situation today?

"Brother thinks it's credible?" Yang Gongdao is nearly forty years old, has been an official for many years, and has rich political experience, compared to Yang Xu, who is not good at cultivating literature and not being good at deceit, and Yang Shidao, who is young and chic in the game officialdom, Yang Gongdao has much more say in the family, and he directly questioned Yang Gongren, "If the King of Qi has completely given up the fight for the imperial throne, then what is the explanation for the public deliberate deterioration of the situation in the Eastern Capital?" Why did Gong deliberately give Yiquekou to Han Xiangguo, a thief in Songzhou? What is the true intention of the Koko? ”

Yang Gongren bowed slightly, and accepted Yang Gongdao's questioning, "There are some secrets, and it is time to sue you, I didn't say anything about it before, the time has not come, and I haven't made up my mind to come forward, after all, I am alone, if I want to turn the tide, I need some allies who work together, but before I was alone, I had more than enough heart and not enough strength; Secondly, I don't know the attitude and position of King Qi, if King Qi is too deeply involved, it is bound that father and son will turn against each other, fratricide, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"What's the secret?" Yang Shidao asked curiously.

"One is related to Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) and the other is related to Yuyang Gong (Yuan Hongsi)." Yang Gongren frowned slightly, and whispered the secret of the Holy Lord's edict to arrest Li Zixiong and remove Yuan Honghei.

"Arrest Li Zixiong?" Yang Shidao was very surprised, "The Holy Lord wants to attack the Qi King?" ”

"No, ......" Yang Gongdao thought thoughtfully, shook his hand gently, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "I know, Yue Guogong (Yang Xuangan) must be related to Yue Guogong." I have always wondered why the Holy Lord wanted the Duke of Yue to sit in Liyang to supervise the grain and grass of the Eastern Expedition, so it turned out that this was the Holy Lord's plan to kill two birds with one stone, to solve all the opponents at once, and to settle the situation in one battle. Generous, it is indeed the style of the Holy Lord, who can make such an amazing plan except the Holy Lord today? ”

"Don't speculate." Yang Gongren sharply admonished, "Don't jump to conclusions. ”

"The Duke of Jianchang, the Duke of Yuyang and the Duke of Yue Guo have a close relationship and everyone knows it." Yang Gongdao's feelings were a little excited, and he disagreed with the eldest brother's warning, "Now that the Duke of Jianchang and the Duke of Yuyang have had an accident, how can the Duke of Yue Guo be spared?" If nothing else, the Holy Lord's secret edict may have reached Liyang, to the hands of Shi Youyuan, the secretary and servant. Speaking of this, Yang Gongdao's expression suddenly became nervous, and his tone became very hurried, "Brother, something is going to happen to Dong, something big is going to happen." The power of Yue Guogong is huge, and Heluo and even the Central Plains are under his control, once cornered, desperate, and raise troops to rebel, the eastern capital will be lost. ”

Yang Xu and Yang Shidao also suddenly realized, and their faces were shocked. Now they know why the eldest brother Yang Gongren wants to hide these secrets, because they are worried that the King of Qi and Yang Xuangan will join forces to rebel, the consequences will be too terrible, and Middle-earth may collapse, although the news they have received from the Duke Li Hun may not all be true, and with the change of shape, the thoughts of the King of Qi may also change, and the future is still uncertain, but at least Yang Gongren sees hope, and with hope, he has motivation, and he can take active action and find ways to promote the situation in the direction he wants.

Yang Gongdao quickly calmed down and was indignant, "Brother, in this way, several people on the other side of the imperial city have a clear understanding of the situation in the Eastern Capital, and they are worried that the situation will get out of control and the Eastern Capital will be lost, so they will cooperate to deceive King Yue and dig a pit for you." ”

"We don't want the situation to get out of control, we don't want to lose the Eastern Capital, and we don't want Middle Earth to collapse because of this, so we know that there is a pit in front of us, and we can only jump down." Yang Gongren sighed, "I jumped down, and I shared the honor and disgrace with them, but it helped save this crisis." ”

Yang Gongdao shook his head again and again, "Brother, you are too confident, from a certain point of view, the situation in the Eastern Capital is out of control, and what is even stricter is that the tigers and wolves are surrounded and embattled, you can just look at the wanton behavior of Guogong (Li Hun), if the military and political officials in the Eastern Capital are as ill-intentioned as him, or they are simply two-faced enemies, how can you hold the Eastern Capital?" Can you hold it? ”

Yang Xu and Yang Shidao thought so, nodded frequently, and supported Yang Gongdao's opinion.

"So so-and-so needs more allies, needs more help." Yang Gongren's expression was resolute, his tone was firm, and he pointed at Yang Gongdao and said, "You immediately rush to Xingyang with a certain letter, and be sure to persuade King Xun (Yang Qing) that at the moment when the eastern capital is in danger, ask him to do his best to provide support, and stick to the defense line of the moat, and stop the King of Qi outside Xingyang at any cost." ”

Yang Gongdao couldn't help but laugh bitterly, spread his hands, and asked loudly at Yang Gongren, "Brother, do you know how many troops there are under King Qi's account?" ”

Yang Gongren frowned deeply and said nothing.

"Brother, you should know that Shun Zhenggong (Dong Chun) is still stranded by the side of King Qi in the name of fighting chaos and suppressing thieves, and the Xuzhou Zhuyingyang under his command is also a large number. If the king of Qi wants to fight the eastern capital, Shunzheng Gong (Dong Chun) is like Gong (Li Hun), he has no choice but to follow him to the death. Yang Gongdao shook his head again and again, "Wu Benlang's general Fei Yao has led the army back to the Eastern Capital, how many troops are there in Xingyang at this moment?" The facts are very clear, they can't stop King Qi's attack at all. ”

"Now I can only hope that King Qi will stop at the Tianji Defense Line and stop at the Tongji Canal." Yang Gongren said, "I believe that the King of Qi has not lost his mind, and I also believe that the Duke will not embark on the desperate road of death and annihilation, as long as the two sides cooperate sincerely, they still have the ability to control the situation in the eastern capital in the direction that both sides want." ”

Yang Gongdao wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. There is still a certain amount of truth in Yang Gongren's statement, at present, the shape of the eastern capital has not deteriorated to the point of irretrievability, and the Holy Lord has obviously taken precautions in advance, leaving a "back hand", the reason why Yang Gongren dares to "stand up" at this moment must have a certain certainty, otherwise, with his character, he will definitely not gamble all his net worth and life to risk.

Yang Gongren saw that Yang Gongdao accepted his arrangement, so he turned his eyes to Yang Xu, "You also bring a certain letter, and immediately rush to Hongnong County to persuade King Cai (Yang Zhiji) not to look forward and be indecisive, and immediately recruit manpower to strengthen the city defense and guard the pass. ”

Yang continued to agree.

Yang Gongren looked at Yang Shidao again, and said solemnly, "You immediately rush to Huayin, send a certain letter to a few respected elders in the clan, please be sure to see the shape clearly at the critical moment, make the right choice, don't kill each other, do things that are painful to relatives and happy to enemies." ”

Yang Shidao gave up his hand, and then asked, "Brother, do you want to send someone to Xijing?" ”

Yang Gongren sneered and was silent, and a trace of murderous aura gushed out uncontrollably in his eyes.
