Fan Zigai did not agree with Cui Zhen's methods, and did not dare to pin his hope of saving the Eastern Capital on the old aristocratic group with the surname Xianbei and the eight nobles.

In the Yulin incident in the third year of the great cause, Xianbei Xungui He Ruobi and Yuwenbi were killed together with Gao Ying, and then the eight surnamed Xungui gradually declined, and the Xianbei wealthy family with the Yuan family had no choice but to adopt a wall-riding strategy on the political zhì, which side of the wind was strong, and they did not dare to go-for-tat with the reformists who were in the limelight, nor did they dare to form an alliance with the conservative forces, and the reformers maintained a high degree of vigilance against them. Conservative forces are trying to win them over. In last year's political storm, Xianbei Xungui Yu Zhongwen fell, Liu Shilong was also killed, and the old nobles surnamed Yu were hit hard, which escalated the contradictions between the two major political groups of the Han Dynasty and the old nobles with the surname of Yu and the Holy Lord and the reformers.

Against this political background, Fan Zigai has reason to believe that with the position and means of the Yuan clan and the eight nobles of Xianbei, under the crisis situation in today's Eastern Capital, they must be cold eyes, fish in troubled waters, take advantage of the fire to rob, and even fall into the ground, hoping that they will unswervingly support the Holy Lord and the reformers, which is simply wishful thinking.

"The Gyeonggi garrison, as well as the four captains of Xingyang, Heyang, Yanshi and Baigu." Fan Zigai couldn't directly veto Cui Zhen, so he could only remind him by knocking on the side, "And among the four major captains, the Governor of Xingyang and the Governor of Heyang will do their best to support King Yue, but why do you turn a blind eye?" ”

Cui Baode, the governor of Xingyang, was the backbone of the young and strong of the Boling Cui clan, and naturally supported the king of Yue, and the relationship between the governor of Heyang and the Boling Cui clan was equally close.

Today, the Governor of Heyang has a prominent status, and he is Yang Hao, the king of Qin, a genuine prince.

Yang Hao is the son of Yang Jun, the former king of Qin, and his mother is the former Qin princess Cui, and this Cui is the sister of the powerful brothers Cui Hongdu, Cui Hongsheng, and Cui Hongshou. The first emperor of the imperial war, the Qin king Yang Jun's backer is the Shandong aristocratic group with Boling Cui's family, as a result, Yang Jun was defeated and died, according to the investigation was poisoned by the jealous woman Cui's family, so Cui's was abolished and sentenced to death, his son Yang Hao sat down, disqualified from the son, and could not succeed to the heir, and Cui Yu, who was the princess of Henan, was also deposed, and the Cui Hongdu brothers were even more hit, and the Boling Cui family was once caught in the wind and rain. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne and became the emperor, due to the needs of the government, he had to form an alliance with the Shandong aristocratic group, so the Boling Cui clan made a comeback and re-entered the court, and Yang Hao was able to restore the identity of the prince, inherited the title of King of Qin, and entered the official career, his starting point was very high, either in the Central Government or in the Twelve Guards, and he was in the first Eastern Crusade before being entrusted with an important task by the Holy Lord, and served as the most important of the four major governors of Gyeonggi.

Heyang is in the north of the big river, across the big river and the mountain, less than 100 miles away from the eastern capital, is the first line of defense in the north of Gyeonggi, its importance can be imagined, and the Holy Lord entrusted this pivotal position to the young Qin King Yang Hao, it can be seen that the Holy Lord still has high hopes for him.

In Fan Zigai's view, the reason why the Holy Lord arranged Yang Hao in the position of the governor of Heyang was to use the power of the Boling Cui clan and the Shandong people behind him to ensure the safety of northern Gyeonggi, and on the other hand, to use his respected status as a prince to make it difficult for the young Yue King Yang Tong to control the situation when the eastern capital was in danger and the young Yue King Yang Tong was difficult to control the situation, he was the King of Qin, as well as Yang Qing, the King of Xun of Xingyang, and Yang Zhiji, the King of Cai of Hongnong, came forward to assist together, although these princes were unwilling to intervene in the new round of imperial disputes. They are not willing to take the initiative to "stand in line" before the shape is clear, but it is related to the safety of the country and the fundamental interests of the imperial family, and they can only "stand up" at the critical moment, after all, the inaction on the political policy and the consequences of the swing in the political game are completely different, once the political situation in the eastern capital is unfavorable to the Second Eastern Crusade, or even directly leads to the Second Eastern Crusade, then in the next political liquidation, these "inaction" princes must bear the brunt.

At present, the shape of the eastern capital is very bad, and the situation in Gyeonggi is also "stormy", and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is a little "overwhelmed" and needs the help of the princes, but Yang Qing, the king of Xun on the Xingyang side, is overwhelmed by the crisis of Tongji Canal and is exhausted, while Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai in the direction of Hongnong, is on high alert for Xijing and does not dare to slack off.

The Ha Duong Governor's Mansion is located in Hanoi County, and Yang Hao, the Governor of Qin, has the right to dispatch the Hanoi Eagles and local armed forces, and the wealthy families of Hanoi have a very close relationship with the wealthy families of Hebei, even if they look at the face of the Boling Cui clan, they will do their best to support Yang Hao, the King of Qin.

Based on this, Fan Zigai determined that as long as Cui Zhen and the members of the Cui family in the eastern capital reached a consensus and made a decision, so that Yang Dong, the king of Yue, would "ask for help" from Yang Hao, the king of Qin, then Yang Hao would definitely be able to transfer a part of the Hanoi army into the eastern defense area of Gyeonggi, so that he would still need to "whisper" to Yuan Wendu and make compromises and concessions to the old aristocratic group dominated by the Xianbei eight surnamed Xungui?

Fan Zigai's dissatisfaction was also the doubt in the heart of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and he didn't know why Cui Zhen pinned his hopes for alleviating the crisis in the eastern capital on Taifu Qing Yuanwendu. What the eastern capital lacks now is not money, but an army, an army that is absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord and willing to charge for Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but with the power of Yuan Wendu, it is obviously impossible to pull an army from the Wei Mansion for Yang Tong, the king of Yue.

Although the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xianbei Xungui have always been supporters of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, the "right-hand man" of Yang Tong, and the political force that can be absolutely trusted, but since the death of Yuanshou in the history of the year last year, Yu Zhongwen and Liu Shilong died in the political storm, followed by a large number of generals with the surname of Yu were expelled from the army, the strength of the old aristocratic group surnamed Yu in the military and political circles has been dealt a heavy blow, and it is difficult to recover in the short term. In fact, the restoration of strength is only a matter of time, it is secondary, the important thing is that after this blow, they are full of hatred for the Han aristocratic group, the holy lord and the reformers, and the trust between the two sides almost collapses, which is the most terrible and the most difficult to recover.

Faced with Fan Zigai's doubts and Yang Tong's doubts, Cui Zhen had to explain.

Under the current crisis, it is necessary to unite the forces that can be united, and although Yang Hao, the king of Qin, can be alone, his strength is very limited, and it is basically of little help to save the crisis in the eastern capital. So last year's political storm was nothing to them at all, it was just a drizzle, and it couldn't hurt the muscles and bones, but the consequences of the political storm were very severe, which directly damaged the trust between the old nobles of Xianbei and the nobles surnamed Han, once the shape was unfavorable to the nobles with the surname Han, the Yuan family and the eight nobles with the surname would inevitably "add fuel to the fire" and would inevitably deliberately worsen the crisis in the Eastern Capital, such as helping the radical conservative forces to mutiny to destroy the political situation in the Eastern Capital, such as helping the increasingly rampant traitors to interrupt the Grand Canal to destroy the Second Eastern Crusade, In order to take revenge on the nobles surnamed Han, and to take revenge on the Holy Lord and the reformers for their blows.

This is a predictable result, which is also the reason why the crisis in the eastern capital is difficult to save, for this we must "prescribe the right medicine", the bell still needs to be tied to the bell people, at present, we can only give the interests of the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui to the maximum Cheng dù to give up the interests of the government, in exchange for their trust and cooperation, and as long as we can rebuild the trust between the old aristocratic group with the surname Yu, we have the possibility of saving the crisis in the eastern capital, otherwise we will be defeated in the future situation.

Fan Zigai understood and accepted it, but the doubts in his heart were also stronger, he felt that Cui Zhen took the initiative to let the interests of Du Zhengzhì, take the initiative to ease the tension with the Xianbei people, and take the initiative to rebuild the trust between the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui, the purpose of which is not only to save the crisis of the Eastern Capital, but also to save the future of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, which may also have deeper intentions.

Yang Tong also understood, very happy and very supportive. Behind him has always been the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui, the close relationship can be imagined, but suddenly, the Holy Lord forcibly "pushed" the Boling Cui clan into the Yue Wangfu, and ordered Yang Tong to obey the Cui family's words, this is a blatant "robbery", the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui worked hard to cultivate the "fruit" directly snatched away, Boling Cui clan not only "did not work hard", but also "dove occupies the magpie's nest", if it were not for the political storm at the end of last year was too strong, the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui were "bloody", How can the Xianbei people endure this breath? How can you let the Holy Lord take advantage of it in vain?

Cui's actually had a word of suffering, he wanted to cry without tears, the gods fought and the people suffered, Cui's shrunk his head and couldn't avoid the "Disaster of Pond Fish", and watched himself being thrown into the fire "pit" by the Holy Lord, in vain? Fortunately, the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui are not a barbarian, and the matter of the snipe and clam fighting is resolutely not in the matter of the Holy Lord, and they are not allowed to do anything, and they are "far away" from the Yue Wangfu, and they can't afford to hide if they can't be provoked? Lao Tzu is not mixed, you go to play alone, so Cui's "risk-free" took over the Yue Wangfu, but soon trouble came, and it was a big trouble, it was possible to bury yourself, and then Cui's was not crying without tears, but crying and couldn't find a place.

Cui Zhen left the palace in a hurry, but he did not go directly to visit Yuan Wendu, but first found the secretary of the provincial school Lang Cui Chuzhi.

As soon as Cui Chuzhi heard it, he understood Cui Zhen's true intentions.
