Wang Qi was overjoyed, kept shaking his hands, and almost knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Adult, please ask, as long as the little one knows, he must be endless." ”

Yang Xuangan asked in a deep voice: "According to your statement, this letter can be used to contain Zhou Luohu in your hands, but you also said that you don't know that Zhou Luohu has publicly taken down the messenger and made the second letter public, so how can you know that something happened, and then send the letter to Daxing, and your cousin will report Zhou Luohu?" ”

Wang Qi said: "The messenger agreed with us before leaving, if we don't come back for three days, it will be Zhou Luohu who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, and at this time, you can report the surname Zhou." ”

"Xiao Maha originally meant the same thing, but my father wanted to wait a little longer, until finally when Xiao Maha and my father quarreled in front of Yang Liang when he was in Artemisia, which made my father's surprise attack plan ruined, and my father was determined to let Xiao Shilian and the Zhou family die together."

Yang Xuangan finally straightened out all his thoughts, and it was so reasonable, he smiled at Wang Qi, and his tone suddenly became very soft: "That is to say, now you can't stop that cousin of yours from presenting this letter to the emperor." ”

Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Yes, the letter is in my cousin's hands, but I can be a witness, the emperor must also need witnesses, otherwise there is no evidence, I can ......"

A cold smile appeared on Yang Xuangan's face. Even a mouthful of white teeth was exposed. With his weird smile at this time. made Wang Qi's scalp tingle after listening to it.

Yang Xuangan smiled and said to Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, let me tell you a secret, my name is Yang Xuangan, and I am the eldest son of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, and I am now in the Zhu Kingdom. This time to quell your rebellion, I have always been the leader of the striker. ”

Wang Qi was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, and his mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff a big steamed bun: "You, you are the famous Yang Xuangan?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "It's exactly below." As for these two ......" he pointed at the Zhou brothers with his hand and said: "These two are the two sons of the old general Zhou Luohu Zhou, the one sitting next to me is the eldest son Zhou Zhongyin, and the outside is the second son Zhou Zhongan." ”

Wang Qi suddenly seemed to have his backbone removed, and he collapsed to the ground like mud, his eyes were full of fear and disbelief, he raised his hand and pointed at Yang Xuangan, trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Yang Xuangan's smile gradually faded from his face, and his expression became firm and terrifying. The voice was as cold as the perennial ice on the Tianshan Mountain: "Wang Qi, your father and son have done a lot of evil. Your heart is like a snake and scorpion, and God can't tolerate you!"

"And you, a dog who sells your father to survive, are more ruthless and desperate than your father, and tomorrow at noon, the corpses of the two of you will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market in Jinyang, as a warning to all ambitious and incapable people like you."

Yang Xuangan said as he spoke, a pungent smell of urine suddenly entered his nose, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that Wang Qi was so frightened that he urinated incontinence, and he urinated directly.

Yang Xuangan no longer glanced at Wang Qi, turned around and walked out of the prison door, this cell was built of brick walls, with an iron door outside, and the prisoners in the other cells were blocked by Zhou Zhong'an's burly figure, and they couldn't see what was going on inside at all.

Yang Xuangan nodded to Zhou Zhong'an when he walked by him, and Zhou Zhong'an understood and turned to enter the cell, the thick iron door closed heavily behind him.

Yang Xuangan listened to the screams faintly coming from inside the iron gate and the "popping" sound of fists and kicks hitting the flesh, while carefully thinking about the next countermeasures.

After a small half-pillar of incense, the iron door was reopened, and Wang Qi had turned into a corpse full of feces and urine, but there were not too many scars on his face and body, and his eyes were round and open, refusing to close.

Zhou Zhongan patted the dust on his body, and when he went out, he spat it hatefully inside, and scolded in a low voice: "If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave any scars on his body, Lao Tzu would definitely let this bastard die ten times worse, grandma is a bear, it's cheap." ”

Zhou Zhongyin whispered to Yang Xuangan: "My brother's great kindness this time, our family will never forget, but now that the reply letter is afraid that it has already reached the hands of the emperor, how should we deal with it?" ”

Yang Xuangan looked at the other prisoners in the cage outside, and all of them shrank in the corner with dull eyes, how could they care about eavesdropping on themselves again.

So he also lowered his voice, almost got together with the heads of the Zhou brothers, and whispered: "This matter was expected by us, but now we have to act according to the original plan, then Chen Zhishen has agreed with me, and when the time comes, the old general Zhou will tell the emperor about this matter as soon as possible, so as not to be thought by the emperor that he knew that the matter was exposed, and he had to confess it." ”

The Zhou brothers glanced at each other, and Zhou Zhongan said: "Does the father of the family still want to mention the matter of leading troops to recover those three states and counties at this time?" At this time, I took the initiative to ask the emperor to lead the troops, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "This matter is mentioned by my father, and General Zhou only needs to do not shirk when the emperor asks for advice." This battle will not be too complicated, it should be easier and more enjoyable than the battle of counterinsurgency, and it is a good opportunity to win the emperor's trust. ”

Zhou Zhongyin nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Lao, after this incident, if my family can be preserved, I will definitely remember your family's kindness." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and waved his hand: "Why do you say that, we are friends, friends should take care of each other, right?" ”

The three of them walked out of the cell talking and laughing all the way.

At noon the next day, the bodies of Wang Cheng and Wang Qi's father and son were pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market in Jinyang City, and they were punished by the head of the gang in public.

As soon as the heads of Wang's father and son were taken and inserted into the wooden pole for public display, the two headless bodies were instantly rushed up by the angry people, kitchen knives, sticks, bricks, and stinky feet. In a matter of moments, it turned into two piles of rotten flesh with blurred flesh. I can't tell the shape anymore.

Dressed in a blue silk suit. Dressed as a merchant, Yang Xuangan, who was standing in the crowd, watched this scene coldly, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." ”

Yang Xuangan, who was also dressed in silk clothes and wrapped in a cloak, and Yang Su, who was out on patrol in micro-clothes, was shocked when he heard this, and turned around heavily. Walk out of the crowd.

Yang Xuangan knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly followed behind Yang Su, without speaking, and slowly followed step by step, the father and son had nothing to say all the way, and returned to the Han Palace.

Yang Su walked into the study, Yang Xuan felt like a child who had done something wrong, bowed his head and followed in, Yang Su took off the black cloak, and Yang Xuangan hurriedly stepped forward to take it. Yang Su's deep gaze shot at Yang Xuangan like a knife, stabbing him all over. Just carrying the cloak and pestle in place, I don't know what to do.

Yang Su sat on the Taishi chair on the desk in front of the window, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was contemplating other things, like an old monk settled down, and after a long time, he spoke: "Xuan Gan, what are your plans after returning to Beijing, can you tell Sù to be your father?" ”

When Yang Xuangan heard this, he was like being pardoned. He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced outside the door, the guards had already dispersed far away with a tacit understanding, Yang Xuangan turned around and hung the cloak on the hanger at the door of the study, and replied casually: "Act according to the plan, after finishing the Zhou family, I am ready to go out to make the history of the state assassin." ”

Yang Su shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that after returning to Beijing, I will have to face some turmoil, and the Zhou family's affairs will not be solved so easily." ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head with some disbelief: "Father, I'm afraid you're too worried, then Chen Zhishen promised to recruit the arch as we said, and Wang Shichong will also help in secret, according to the child's opinion, it should be able to relieve the emperor's doubts." ”

Yang Su sighed: "I hope so, but according to my father's opinion, I'm afraid it's not so simple, and a series of news from Daxing recently can see some of the emperor's meaning." ”

Yang Xuangan had almost no idea about the situation in the capital since he left Daxing, and after hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Su looked out the window and said, "The first thing is that Liu Shu was sentenced to deprive him of his official position as the secretary of the military department and exiled to Longchuan, Huizhou, thousands of miles away, as for Princess Lanling, the emperor ordered her to divorce Liu Shu. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "Why is the princess so miserable? The child remembers that it seems that she also remarried Liu Shu. ”

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, the princess was married to Wang Fengxiao, a close friend of the former emperor when she was young, and Wang Fengxiao, the son of the important minister Wang Yi, but less than a year after entering the Wang family, her husband died of illness. ”

Later, the first emperor chose thousands of people, and finally selected Liu Shu, a famous minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the son of the Liu family in Hedong. Liu Shu's father, Liu Ji, was an important minister of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and participated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty's plan to destroy Qi, so he was a staunch royalist in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it can even be said that he stood on the opposite side of the previous emperor. ”

Yang Xuan was surprised: "Then such a person, how could the emperor marry his daughter to his son?" ”

Yang Su said with a smile: "This is the means of the first emperor, the real threat to him is Wei Chi Yuan, who is out of the town, has soldiers and money, and Liu Ji is just a literati, although he enjoys a clear reputation among scholars and doctors, and has always had views on the independence of the former emperor and Zhou Zili, and has made a few complaints, but there is no real threat." ”

"Therefore, after the defeat of Wei Chi Hui, the opposition who is not a threat took the initiative to show favor and marry, which can show the magnanimity of the emperor, and it is precisely because of this that the process of the Great Sui Dynasty and Zhou has also become relatively smooth, except for Wei Chi Hui, it has not set off too much turmoil."

Yang Xuan sighed and convinced: "The first emperor is really powerful, and the child can't think of this trick." ”

Yang Su put away his smiling face and nodded: "Yes, Xuangan, you are a person of temperament, and you have a clear distinction between love and hate." But you have to remember that in the future, in the court, you must learn to laugh and stab the knife, not by your own temperament, but learn to be friends with your enemies, such as Father and Su Wei, this is the way to live and die. ”

Yang Su nodded when he saw Yang Xuangan, and continued: "It's just that this typical political marriage has an unexpected result, and Liu Shu and Princess Lanling have a deep relationship. After Princess Lanling married into the Liu family, she did not have a little princess frame and abided by women's morals. For the mother-in-law who has been ill for a long time, he personally serves soup and feeds medicine. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "It's the same as Dou Hui, the Duchess of Tang Guo." What an ideal lady. The same is true for marrying a wife. ”

Yang Sudao: "Yes, Princess Lanling's behavior has also resolved the hostility of the Liu family towards the royal family, and Liu Shu has become the most trusted and effective helper of the emperor during the Renshou period, you know all these things, I won't say more." ”

Yang Xuan felt that Liu Shu and Princess Lanling had later become an important chess piece for Yang Jian to secretly maintain contact with the abolished prince Yang Yong and balance Yang Guang's forces, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Su stared at Yang Xuangan's eyes, and said with a straight face: "But this also brought trouble to Liu Shu and his wife in the new dynasty." Renshou Palace can't say that he is now a father, he can only tell you that at the last moment, Liu Shu is still loyal to the emperor, so he will be unlucky with Yang Yong. If it weren't for the fact that the overall situation had been decided, and Princess Lanling was begging for mercy, Liu Shu would have died a long time ago. ”

Yang Xuangan had always wanted to know what happened in Renshou Palace at that time, but since Yang Su said so, he also knew that Yang Su would not reveal more things, so he had to ask: "The king's order is difficult to disobey." I'm afraid that the deep love between husband and wife can't withstand the cruel reality, and now Princess Lanling can only divorce Liu Shu. ”

Yang Su shook his head: "You are wrong. Princess Lanling refused to obey this time, and wrote to the emperor, preferring to remove her princess's name and follow Liu Shu to Huizhou. ”

Yang Xuangan gasped and said, "Is she crazy?" Huizhou is the southernmost part of Lingnan, a wild place, miasma is rampant, normal Central Plains people will be infected and die of illness in the past few years, ordinary people avoid it, how dare she take the initiative to go over? ”

Yang Su sighed: "This is great love, great wife." Xuangan, if it were your mother, if she went to that place for her father, she would definitely go with her. ”

Yang Xuangan was sad when he heard it, and when he looked at Yang Su again, he was also teary-eyed, and when he talked about his sad past, Yang Xuangan quickly changed the topic and said, "Is the emperor on board?" ”

Yang Su shook his head: "The emperor was furious when he saw the princess's watch, and scolded that there is no other man in the world, so he has to be exiled with Liu Shu?!"

"But after Princess Lanling heard about it, she went on to the table, saying that the first emperor had married her to Liu Shu before, and now Liu Shu has committed a crime, and she should also sit together according to the law of the Great Sui, and please don't give her extrajudicial grace."

In the end, the emperor did not allow the play, but forced Liu Shu to go on the road, so Princess Lanling cried day and night, washed her face with tears, and died in a month of depression, only thirty-two years old. Before she died, Princess Lanling also gave the emperor a table, saying that she wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family and be buried in the ancestral grave of the Liu family. ”

Yang Xuangan sighed: "It's really a shame, it's sad to hear it, the emperor must be allowed to face such a request." ”

Yang Su's expression suddenly became terrifying, his eyes were beating with anger, and he said sharply: "No, the emperor didn't even cry after hearing the news, put Princess Lanling in a thin wooden coffin, and hastily buried it on the edge of the Hongdu River, without erecting a tombstone, and even a funeral." ”

Yang Xuan was furious when he heard this, and slammed his fist on the table: "How can this be?!It's too ruthless!" It was his own sister, and it didn't threaten him anything. Even if it goes against his will, the dead are great, do you still need to do this without even superficial work? ”

Yang Su shook his head heavily: "Xuan Gan, what I'm worried about is not this matter, but from this matter, I can see that our new emperor will not allow anyone to challenge and flout his authority." For those who have offended him before, those who have an enmity with him will not let go, even if they are close relatives, they will not show mercy. ”

Yang Xuangan was speechless for a long time, and only listened to Yang Su continue: "So now the emperor is angry, and when you see the reply letter written by Zhou Luohu to Xiao Maha at this time, what do you think he will do?" ”

Yang Xuan was speechless, so he had to sigh.

Yang Su's voice was a little pathetic, and he said slowly: "So people are not as good as heaven, no matter how good the earlier idea is, there is no way to encounter this kind of emergency, in fact, it turns out that Wang Hao took the letter to expose it in advance, which is already an accident, but this matter is still within the controllable range, and the emperor's bad mood is not that you and I can control it." ”

Yang Xuangan hurriedly said: "Then what to do now, do you still have to act according to the plan?" ”

Yang Su nodded: "Now that it is impossible to sever relations with the Zhou family, it will only provoke them to bite us out, and we can only take one step at a time." Zhou Luohu is a loyal and righteous person, and he will not involve us. ”

Yang Xuangan's heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "But among the two sons of General Zhou, Zhou Zhongyin is not very like a good person, the child is not worried about Zhou Zhong'an, but he is afraid that this Zhou Zhongyin will not be reliable." ”

Yang Su sighed: "Even if this person is unreliable, we can't do anything about him now, our Yang family has done our best in this matter, if we are bitten back, we can only say that we have done our own sin." ”

Yang Xuangan had no choice but not to think about this annoying thing first, and said, "Then do we still want to continue to show that General Zhou will lead the army to quell the rebellion?" ”

Yang Su let out a sigh of relief and said: "This is necessary, my father has already said this in front of the generals, there is no way out, otherwise it will make the emperor suspicious." ”

Yang Xuan said: "Is there only this big thing in Daxing City? ”

Yang Su said: "Don't worry, my father was about to talk about this second major event, that is, the emperor began to order the deprivation of the position of the governor of various places, that is, he didn't want Yang Liang to have this kind of self-respecting situation, I heard that he and Yu Wenshu and several other important ministers and henchmen secretly discussed, ready to abolish the Che Cavalry General's Mansion and Hussar General's Mansion in each state and county. ”

Yang Xuan was shocked and said: "Does the emperor want to attack the government military system?" ”
