On the morning of July 30, Duan Da sent an order to the Yingyang Mansion in Zhuo County, ordering the Yingyang Lang general Mo Chen Wei to rush south to help Gaoyang Palace after receiving the order. Considering that Zhuoxian Yingyang Mansion only had four regiments and 800 guards, and the strength was slightly weak, he urgently ordered the Zhuoxian County Government to recruit local township regiments and sects in the shortest possible time to go south to support together with Yingyang Mansion.

During the Eastern Crusade, although Youyan and Youyan exhausted their manpower, material and financial resources, after all, it still undertook the heavy task of suppressing the frontier, and it was impossible to "transfuse" endlessly, so Youyan and Youyan still retained a certain strength.

In Yanzhou, in addition to the border army, the local tribes with the surnames of Ashina, Hulu, and Poliuhan are the mainstays, while in Youzhou, because Jicheng is the northern terminus of the Grand Canal, it is the place where grain and grass are hoarded in the entire Great Northern Xinjiang, not only a considerable number of garrison troops are stationed, but the local forces are also very large, among which Fan Yang is the most. There are many wealthy families in Fanyang, including the Fanyang Lu family, one of the five wealthy families in Shandong, the Zou family, the Jian family, the Yan family, the Shao family and the Yuan family, as well as the Xianbei family names such as Murong, Helian and Wan Qi.

Youyan and Youyan are mainly located in what is now Zhuo County, and the core area of Fanyang is now Zhuo County. Duan Da's order is actually to ask Ying Yanglang to take Hou Mo Chen Wei with the clans of Fanyang's major wealthy families to go south to support Gaoyang Palace, so that there are at least about 2,000 people in a patchwork, which can solve the danger of Gaoyang.

Then Duan Da hurried to Linshuo Palace to make a report. Duan Da is just a local governor, and it is usually difficult for even the central officials to meet him, let alone meet the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord is busy with state affairs, and there are many opportunities every day, even if he wants to see Duan Da, he must arrange it in advance, and it is impossible to meet him at any time. Fortunately, Duan Da was in the prison and was more familiar with some central ministers, and now that the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace were on his territory, the central officials had to give him some face as a "landlord", so when Duan Da said that there was an emergency military situation, someone immediately told the Ministry of Internal History.

The Ministry of Internal History is the highest decision-making body of the central government, the center of government affairs, and the emperor's edicts and central decrees are all derived from here. The supreme governor of the Ministry of Internal History is the Inner History Order, but since the death of the former Inner History Ling Yuanshou, there is no successor. There is no holy lord, and its intention of centralization is self-evident, and of course the subordinates will not find themselves bored with books and advice. The deputy governor of the Ministry of Inner History is the Inner History Squire, there are two, one is? Zuoren Huiji Gong Yu Shiji, a person who is also from Jiangzuo, and a descendant of the Jiangzuo royal family, the brother-in-law of the Holy Lord, and the younger brother of Empress Xiao, Xiao Yu, the king of Xin'an. Among them, Yu Shiji is the most trusted by the Holy Lord, and has a considerable amount of voice in the highest decision-making level, so he naturally becomes the de facto "head of the family" of the Ministry of Internal History. Although Xiao Yu is a relative of the emperor and the country, he has differences with the Holy Lord in terms of reform ideas and governing concepts, and he is upright and conceited in character, and he is unwilling to flatter, the result can be imagined, and the two are of course getting farther and farther apart.

Duan Da used his connections in the center to deliver the report to Feng Deyi, a member of the Inner History House, as quickly as possible.

Below the Inner History Squire is the Inner History Sheren, there are four, each two assistant a Squire is in charge of different affairs, among which the Inner History Sheren Feng Deyi is the oldest, and has a special status in the Inner History Province, and is the absolute henchman of the Inner History Shilang Yu Shiji.

Feng Deyi was born in the Feng clan of Bohai, Hebei, and his ancestral home was Hejian County, which is now Jingcheng, and he was from the same place as Hongru Liu Xuan. Feng Deyi's grandfather Feng Long was an official to the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his father was a great official, and his mother was the daughter of Fan Yang Lu, the sister of the famous poet Lu Sidao of the Northern Dynasty, and her family background was very prominent. When the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, Feng Deyi was still very young, and he served as a staff member under Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, and won Yang Su's appreciation and respect. Yang Su not only married his cousin to him, but also repeatedly recommended him to the emperor. Feng Deyi thus prosperous official fortune, in the last year of the emperor as the inner history of the people, until today, although he is still the inner history of the people, but he sat in the position of the inner history of the people for 18 years, experienced a political storm and stood still, has already become a legend of officialdom, is one of the oldest important ministers in the central qualifications, it can also be seen that his personal talent is extremely outstanding, and his official skills are also superb to the point of incredible.

Feng Deyi is a native of Hebei and Hejian County, and now there are traitors in Hejian County, and they may have captured Gaoyang Palace, which will inevitably directly endanger the interests of the Feng family, the local forces in Hejian and the people of Hebei. Therefore, Duan Da's "wishful thinking" is very correct, as long as this report is sent to Feng Deyi, there will be results immediately.

It's just that Duan Da made a mistake in his busy schedule and ignored one thing. Feng Deyi's body is "branded" with Yang Su's brand, even if Yang Su is dead, even if Feng Deyi has had a certain "distance" from the political group headed by Yang Su for various reasons after entering the center, Yang Su's kindness to him, the grace of carrying him, and the very good personal relationship between the two are undeniable facts, and these facts directly pushed him to the forefront after Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny and set off a storm in the Eastern Capital, putting him in a precarious situation.

In the past month, Yang Xuangan's fellow party soldier Lang Hu Sizheng defected to Goguryeo, and Yang Lin (the son of Yang Xiong, King of Guande) died because of his secret meeting with Yang Xuanzong before he fled, and then Zuo Yiwei's general Guo Zihe was arrested, and when he returned to Linyu Pass, another Zuo Yiwei general, Zhao Yuanshu, was also arrested, as well as the defection and unnatural death of several other central officials, as well as the arrest of a large number of military and political dignitaries, plus the previous Holy Lord had issued an edict to arrest Zuo Yuwei General Li Zixiong, The edict exempted Yuan Honghe's Honghua from his post in Honghua, and so on, all made the palace feel that a bloody storm was coming, and everyone was in danger, especially those ministers who had various relationships with Yang Su, Yang Xuangan's father and son, and their relatives and friends, were even more silent, lost their souls, and helplessly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Feng Deyi is one of them, he has a premonition that he is going to "have an accident", and the "Diaoyutai" that he has been sitting on for 18 years is going to sink, so he actively saves himself, but he knows that it is meaningless to show loyalty to the emperor with his "old face", and he must surround Wei to save Zhao and save the country, so he is loyal to Yu Shiji, after all, when Yu Shiji first entered the Inner History Province and had an unstable foothold, it was he who "sent charcoal in the snow" and made a great effort, and at the same time he also "asked for help" from Pei Shiju, who was also an old minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty and had a friendship with his father.

At the highest decision-making level of the center, the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty are left with him and Pei Shiju, and this special experience makes them have natural common interests, once they reach a special period, this natural common interest will closely link them together, but in a non-special period, the two must maintain a safe "distance", after all, the "signboard" of the "old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty" is too sensitive politically, and it is better to let the dust of history be buried.

Now is a special period, a critical moment related to whether Feng Deyi's political life can continue, although Feng Deyi has gone through wind and rain in the past 18 years, but which time is not as good as walking on thin ice in the abyss? And the premise of surviving the storm is that you must choose the strongest "boat" and choose the right "escape" direction, otherwise you will inevitably die at sea.

Feng Deyi firmly believes that the strongest "ship" at present is the Holy Lord, as long as he firmly follows the Holy Lord, he will definitely not fall into the sea, but the question is, if the Holy Lord does not trust himself, he doesn't need himself, and he has to throw himself into the sea, what should he do? Therefore, Feng Deyi must reflect the value of his own existence, and this value is exactly what the Holy Lord needs, only in this way, even if the Holy Lord doubts his loyalty, he will not end his political life for the time being.

It's just that where is the value of one's own existence? The value of one's own existence is actually to think about what the Holy Lord thinks, what the Holy Lord is anxious about, what the Holy Lord thinks, what he wants, what he wants to provide to the Holy Lord, in other words, what the Holy Lord wants, that is, the direction of "escape" that he has to choose.

Just when Feng Deyi was exhausted, sleepless at night, and panicked all day, a rush suddenly appeared, and a sudden change suddenly appeared in front of him, and Feng Deyi, who was helpless, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he saw a bright light in the dark, and immediately ordered to urgently make an appointment to meet Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County.

Feng Deyi and Duan Da are both senior military and political ministers of the central government, and they are familiar with each other, but they are just familiar, because they belong to different factions and belong to the military and political circles, the two have no relationship at all, at most they meet and nod and say hello, but even if it is this "nod and say hello", it is estimated that it is difficult to meet twice a year.

Feng Deyi took the initiative to meet Duan Da, which was very surprising to Duan Da.

Duan Da was the Holy Lord who only met on the night of three days ago, unless the Holy Lord summoned him again, under normal circumstances, he would not be able to see the Holy Lord at all, after all, there were too many ministers who wanted to meet the Holy Lord, and everyone was queuing, even the governors of the three central institutions of the Inner History Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province were waiting in line, where was his turn to be the governor of this place? Therefore, in Duan Da's opinion, if Feng Deyi could attach importance to this urgent performance and take the opportunity to meet the Holy Lord to present it, he would be grateful, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, news came from the Ministry of Internal History that Feng Deyi was going to meet him in person, which was really unexpected.

After meeting and greeting each other for a while, Feng Deyi said bluntly, "The content of this rush is very important, once it is proved that Gaoyang Palace has indeed fallen, the consequences will be very serious, which is equivalent to a public slap in the face, so it is not difficult to speculate that there is a big mystery behind this matter, and if you are not careful, not only Hebei people will be affected, but also you, the Zhuojun guard." ”

Duan Da nodded again and again, and said eagerly, "A certain has sent reinforcements and quickly went south to Gaoyang." ”

Feng Deyi shook his hand and motioned to Duan Da not to interrupt him, "You know, what traitor is attacking Gao Yang?" Did Goyang fall? ”
