Yang Xuanzong wept and said: "What should I do about the eldest brother, with the talent of the eldest brother and Li Mi, it is impossible not to see Yang Guang's poisonous plan, you also know that the eldest brother has been soaked in medicinal wine since he was three years old in order to practice the overlord marksmanship, and the guide zhì liver is extremely hot, and it is easy to lose control of his impulsiveness under anger. ”

Yang Su shook his head: "Xuan Gan has made rapid progress in the past few years, and the experience outside in the past few years has made him more and more judgmental and controllable, Xuan Zong, don't blame me for always favoring Xuan Gan, his status as the eldest son is one thing, but his talent and talent are indeed the best of all children, you should know this." ”

Yang Xuanzong nodded: "The child has never had the heart to fight with the eldest brother, the eldest brother has taken care of the brothers since he was a child, with such a big brother, everyone is convinced." ”

Yang Su sighed: "I believe that Xuan Gan will not be impulsive to cause trouble, you should stay at home during this time, and don't try to go out and contact Xuan Gan, he is now a stabbing history, and his father is an important minister in the court, and collusion between inside and outside has always been a taboo for kings, not to mention that now, Yang Guang must be staring at our family all over the world, and you must not give people a handle." ”

Yang Su stared at Yang Xuanzong's eyes tightly, with a resolute expression: "You remember what your father said: Firm and steady, there is a way!" ”

At the same time, in the Thorn History Mansion in Songzhou City, in an underground secret room in the backyard, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and Hongfu sat in chairs respectively, relatively speechless, and even Li Mi, who had always been resourceful, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. And Yang Xuangan even frowned into a Sichuan character. There was a deathly silence in the room.

It was the red whisk that opened the switch. said: "Young master, since Li Gongzi mentioned it just now, where this demon star stays, there will be a big funeral in the field, which means that there will be a disaster for the royal family, what preparations should we make in advance?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head, after coming back just now, he thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Yang Guang is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his vitality is infinite, but the fat man has been seriously ill for a long time, even if there is really someone in the royal family who wants to return to heaven, it is more likely to be Yang Zhao than Yang Guang.

Thinking of the fat man's bad brother Yang Yun, if he really let the throne fall into the hands of such a person, it would be a disaster for the whole world, because compared with Yang Guang, he still lacks the ambition and ability of the emperor, and the cruelty and lust are even worse.

Li Mi slowly opened his mouth: "What we can think of now." I'm afraid that Yang Guang can also think that he will definitely try his best to prevent this disaster for his family. Big brother, we must prepare early, and the first thing to do is to inquire about the current movements of the Eastern Capital. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and said in a deep voice to the red whisk: "Red whisk, this time I have to work hard for you, after returning to Daxing, I will make a good calculation with my father, in addition to the recent establishment and operation of the intelligence network, I must also ask him what the old man should do next, although this demon star stays in Sui Zhou instead of our Song Zhou, but the distance is still too close, we must prepare early." Xiuning has already gone back to Chang'an to discuss countermeasures with Tang Guogong, and we have to hurry up here. ”

Hongfu smiled slightly: "Young master, if you still want to get the position, just do what you say, without further ado, I will leave." ”

After she said this, she stood up and saluted, twisted her waist, and turned away in a dashing manner.

Yang Xuangan returned to his seat and sat down, and asked Li Mi: "Brother Mi, from the first time you saw this demon star, you were uneasy, this is not normal, and you are also like two people on weekdays, I always feel that you have something hidden in your stomach and have not said." Now it's just you and me, so there's something you can tell me straight. ”

Yang Xuangan still doesn't quite believe in the statement that this demon star will have disasters in the present world, after all, he was born and died on the battlefield, and he is far from believing in the theory of astrology like ordinary people.

Li Mi shook his head heavily: "In addition to the fat man, I am also worried about the method of removing misfortune mentioned in the astrological book. In the history books to deal with this kind of thing, they often find a scapegoat and seal him as the prince of this calamitous place, and the person who is often sealed has to die if he does not die, so that he can help the lord prevent this disaster. Big brother, you should understand what I'm worried about by now. ”

Yang Xuangan was originally holding the teacup and drinking water, but after hearing this, he was so shocked that his hand shook directly, and the teacup fell to the ground, and with a "horn" sound, it fell to pieces.

And Yang Xuangan's people also stood up directly, took two steps forward, directly pulled up Li Mi, held his shoulders, and looked directly into Li Mi's eyes: "Brother Mi, what did you say?" You mean, Yang Guang is likely to ask my Ah Da to help him with this disaster? ”

Li Mi's eyes were red, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he nodded helplessly, but he couldn't speak.

Yang Xuan felt his brain "boom", his headache seemed to explode, his eyes widened, he grabbed Li Mi's arm tightly, and said sharply: "No, impossible, Brother Mi, you lie to me, you lie to me!"

Li Mi sighed and said: "I don't want to think about things in this way, but since I can know something, Yang Guang will definitely know, even if he doesn't know, the villain around him will sue him, now that he and Yue Guogong have such a relationship, there is such a good opportunity to move the trouble, how can he let it go?" ”

Yang Xuangan's face turned red, he has been in the world for more than 20 years, Yang Su's father's love has already been integrated into his blood and bone marrow, he can't imagine what it would be like without this father who is strict on the outside and warm on the inside, the heat that he hasn't had for a long time began to boil in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he couldn't wait to strangle Yang Guang with one hand, and he couldn't wait to turn into a big rocket and directly knock out the damn comet.

But after all, after years of cultivation, Yang Xuangan's ability to control his feelings is much stronger than before, he forcibly sat on the ground, practiced the technique of conducting qi, and passed the dantian qi through his body over and over again, suppressing the heat in his chest, while his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a perfect countermeasure.

It is impossible to raise troops in Songzhou, and it is far from being controlled here. If you rush into trouble at this time. Whether it is Xue Ju or Liang Shidu. Even Wang Shichong is impossible to cooperate with him, and even take the initiative to help Yang Guang exterminate himself in order to protect himself.

And now it is equally impossible to return to the Eastern Capital, to serve as the assassin, in principle, before the expiration of the term of office in the imperial court, unless he is conscripted into battle or a close relative dies. You can't leave the state border.

Yang Xuan thought about it, but there was no good plan, and a large number of beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead unconsciously, and he felt dizzy and heavy when he was blown by the night breeze that was brought into the basement when he went out just now.

Suddenly, Wang Shichong's gloomy face flashed in Yang Xuangan's mind, at this time, can he help?

Li Mi looked at Yang Xuan and was speechless for a long time, but he was contemplating and thinking. couldn't help but interject: "Big brother, can you think of any good way?" ”

Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "It is impossible to raise troops. But you can't look at Ah Da just so unlucky, Brother Mi, you see that Wang Shichong is now in Yingzhou, this person has a bad water and poisonous plan, maybe he can think of some way to help Ah Da avoid this catastrophe, after all, Ah Da is now his biggest backer, if Ah Da falls, it will not be good for him. ”

Li Mi sighed: "Big brother, Wang Shichong's current situation is no better than your family, Yang Guang's suspicion and precaution towards him are no worse than those of Yue Guogong." And he is now far away in Yingzhou, with his current official position, he can't get in touch with the core of the imperial court at all, and he can't participate in this kind of decision-making. ”

Yang Xuan closed his eyes in pain: "What should I do, what should I do?!" ”

Li Mi's eyes flashed: "Big brother, now you have to respond to all changes with the same, and Yue Guogong definitely doesn't want you to do stupid things at this time, so let's wait for Hongfu to go back and get in touch with Yue Guogong." ”

Yang Xuangan opened his eyes, and his expression became extremely firm: "Okay, then wait and see what happens here, no matter what, I can't mess with myself at this time." ”

Three days later, in the small building in the middle of the lake in Yingzhou City, Wang Shichong and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other, Zhang Jincheng and Shan Xiongxin were guarding outside the small building in the middle of the lake, but the two people in the small building were frowning, and their expressions were strict, Wang Shichong squinted his eyes slightly, pinched a note between the fingers of his left hand, and the knuckle of the middle finger of his right hand was gently knocked on a small table beside him, which was a fixed action when he was thinking about the problem. It was from that wax pill.

Wang Shichong slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wei Zheng, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, still stroking his beard and groaning: "Xuancheng, Hongda sent a secret letter from the Eastern Capital, saying that this demon star is in the division of Suizhou, implying that there will be a big bad thing happening to the royal family, Yang Guang has deliberately used the method of removing disasters to let Yang Su accept the title of Duke of Chu, and then kill him, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wei Zheng stroked the goatee on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "This matter seems to be a great disadvantage to the lord, the Duke of Yue can be said to be the biggest backer of the lord in the court now, you come back to this Yingzhou as a thorn history, but also by his recommendation, if he falls, I am afraid that you will also be implicated, the land of Jingying is the foundation of the king who can divide the world, this land of Yingzhou can attack Jiangling in the south, and the key point of Xiangyang in the north, if we can operate here for a long time, once we encounter troubled times, we can start things here, with the ability of the lord, It is not a problem to control Jingzhou, in this way, enter the Central Plains to become a hegemon, and retreat can also go east to the south of the Yangtze River, take Bashu in the west, take Lingnan in the south, and capture half of the country, but if the Duke of Yue falls this time, I am only afraid that the lord's business in this place will also stop halfway. ”

Wang Shichong frowned: "Could it be that if Yang Su falls, I must not be able to stay here?" ”

Wei Zheng pondered for a while and said: "Lord, to be honest, although we had already decided that Yang Guang would definitely attack Yue Guogong after ascending the throne, I didn't expect this matter to come so quickly, after all, Yue Guogong has been in charge of the government for many years, and his protégés will be all over the world, and it is not easy to move him, but Yang Guang's approach is still beyond our expectations, he first moved the capital to the eastern capital, alienated the Guanlong military merit aristocratic group, and appointed the literati group dominated by Jiangnan scholars, Excluding the Shandong family that the former emperor relied on from the decision-making level, it stands to reason that he offended the two major pillar groups of civil and military at the same time, and can only rely more on important ministers like Yang Su, but Yang Su was involved in too many unseemly conspiracies in the matter of seizing the throne, especially in the Renshou Palace incident, which made Yang Guang tolerate him. ”

In the past, Yang Guang may have Xu Tu Yang Su, and gradually released or dismissed officials like Yang Su who had been promoted by Yang Su, so as to weaken Yang Su's power in the court. But this time the demon star appeared. made Yang Guang raise the butcher knife all of a sudden. The meaning of awarding Yang Su the position of Duke of Chu is actually very clear, either Yang Su commits suicide to protect the family, or Yang Guang will fabricate charges and kill Yang Su's entire family for the crime of rebellion. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "That's true, with my understanding of Yang Su, he won't rashly and impulsively raise troops to resist." Now among Yang Su's sons, only Yang Xuangan is the assassin of Songzhou, and he is not an important border town, and he has no soldiers and horses, if he resists, it will be a dead end. Xuan Cheng, do you mean that Yang Su will be willing to die? ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "Originally, when he was crusading against Yang Liang, Yang Su had soldiers in his hands, if he was willing to fight at that time, he would join forces with the lord to start an incident." There is still a glimmer of life, but it's a pity that Yang Su still missees Yang Guang. His loyalty has not been exchanged for a good result, now it is life in the hands of people, the lord, if Yang Su dies, Yang Guang will definitely recall Yang Xuangan and you to the Eastern Capital, and entrust him with idle duties, this land of Yingzhou will not let you stay any longer. ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "It's a pity that we are doing business here, Xuancheng, do you think if we leave this Yingzhou, can we continue to keep people here to operate?" ”

Wei Zheng waved his hand: "No, my lord, the reason why we can operate here is entirely because of your relationship with you as a thorn here, if you are not here, then Xiao Miao, Chen Ling and He Ruobi, no matter which one is here, it is not easy for us to compare, even the most unsuccessful Chen Ling, at least can stay here, there is a benefit from the water, rather than robbing them here, it is better to give this place to the people who can succeed in the future, what about the Lord's will?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Xuancheng, you and I have the same thoughts, according to what you see, if we have to leave this Yingzhou, then this Yingzhou, and even Jingzhou, who is better to give it to?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "As far as I can see, Xiao Mo can't give it, this person's ambition is too big, and the power in Jingzhou is also the strongest, even if we don't help him, he will definitely be able to succeed here, and he may not be grateful for our kindness, but will think that we are afraid of him, so we must not give him this place." ”

Wang Shichong was noncommittal, and said expressionlessly: "Xuan Cheng, please continue." ”

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows: "As for this Chen Ling, he is vulgar and greedy, short-sighted, and his eyes are only staring at this place in Yingzhou, if we evacuate this place, even if he has our five million money, it is impossible to be the king here, and most of them will still be squeezed away by Xiao Mo and He Ruobi." However, they are not enterprising, they are not strong enough, and they are the most dependent on us, which should be the highest priority if we are to choose a partner. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "What about He Ruobi, what does Xuan Cheng think?" ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "According to what I can see, this He Ruobi is ambitious, even if we cooperate with Xiao Miao, we can't have anything to do with He Ruobi." ”

Wang Shichong said softly: "What is the explanation?" ”

Wei Zheng's eyes were blazing, and his gaze was like a torch: "He Ruobi has always been disobedient, I remember that the lord said that in the period of the first emperor, He Ruobi took the initiative to ask for the position of Jingzhou Assassin History, which aroused the vigilance of the first emperor, so he was demoted to an official for ten years, and now it seems that He Ruobi is not idle at home, or through the guò Shen Liusheng This chess piece is secretly operating here, in my opinion, this person is a full careerist, and he is not willing to be willing when the world is peaceful, In addition, this person also joined forces with us when the emperor died last time, so his ambition to seize the throne is extremely great, even in troubled times, it is best not to make friends with this kind of person. ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "But aren't we doing the same thing?" Xuan Cheng, you scolded us all together. ”

Wei Zheng said categorically: "No, it's different, lord, if the first emperor was on the throne, you would never move this mind to raise troops, if you were a careerist like He Ruobi, I wouldn't have followed you like this back then, it's not that I Wei Zheng is loyal, but I don't want to follow a fool who seems to be shrewd, but can't see the general trend of the world." When the emperor was alive, the four seas were leveled, and the national strength of the Great Sui was like the sky, in this case, no matter who raised the army, it was impossible to win, and he could not even have the idea of business, but He Ruobi was already enjoying the glory and wealth, but he was still not satisfied, and he still wanted to be the emperor, so even if this person raised troops in Jingzhou, it was impossible to succeed. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Xuan Cheng, your judgment is very accurate, He Ruobi is indeed more ambitious than his ability, don't talk about the first emperor, even now, or in the future, when Yang Guang is perverse and the world is in chaos, it is unlikely that he will succeed here." ”

Wei Zheng was a little surprised: "Oh, lord, are you saying that he has no chance of success when the world is in turmoil in the future?" That's a bit absolute. ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "No, Xuancheng, this matter is not absolute at all. He Ruobi's relationship with Gao Xi is too close, if Yang Guang really kills Yang Su, then Gao Xi must not be able to protect himself, we analyzed it last time, now Yang Guang has made Gao Xi too Changqing, in charge of etiquette, but he has made Pei Yun, a favorite minister who has a grudge against him, become Taichang Shaoqing, this is obviously to find a trap for Gao Xi, Gao Xi is an old old-fashioned person, and hates these things the most, and these are Yang Guang's favorites, once he fails to collect all kinds of high-end music, Yang Guang may be guilty and killed him, to avenge the vengeance that was persecuted by Gao Xi when he seized the throne that year. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "But what does this have to do with He Ruobi?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuancheng, you don't know, He Ruobi, as a general, was recommended by Gao Xi back then, and the relationship is extraordinary. And when we wanted to raise an incident in Daxing City last year, although Gao Xi did not come forward, according to my investigation afterwards, he knew about it, but he chose to wait and see, and did not even dissuade He Ruobi from doing it with us, which shows that deep in his heart, he hopes to get rid of Yang Guang and support Yang Yong's reinstatement. ”

Wei Zheng frowned: "Lord, but the matter back then involved a wide range of people, Gao Xi, Yang Xuangan, He Ruobi, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Xu Gai These people are all involved, in case any of them are not strict, aren't we going to be unlucky?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "So I secretly helped Pei Wen'an on Yang Liang's side after Yang Guang ascended the throne, just to make the scale of Yang Liang's army larger, and the movement can be tossed for a longer time, so that Yang Guang will forget about this matter." However, Yang Liang is really not angry, and he was defeated in less than two months, but fortunately, Yang Guang seemed to point the object of suspicion to Chen Shubao, a while ago Hongda sent a letter, saying that Chen Shubao was poisoned to death by Yang Guang, Xiao Cong saw that the shape was not good, and he also resigned at home, it seems that he regarded the people who besieged Daxing as Chen Guo and Xiao Liang's remnants, and then he put his mind on moving the capital to Luoyang, and the siege of Daxing will become an unsolved case that can never be solved. ”

Wei Zheng let out a sigh: "The lord has never said this, which makes me worry every day." ”

Wang Shichong said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you say this matter or not, Yang Guang is afraid of me mainly because I participated in a series of conspiracies when he seized the throne, so I entrusted Yang Su's relationship to release it." Or continue to talk about He Ruobi, he is in this Jingying land, relying on a Shen Liusheng to buy people's hearts and form a separation, in fact, it is impossible, the scholars here are loyal to Xiao Liang, no matter how bad Chen Ling is like him, there are old Zhuangke and old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and He Ruobi has nothing except a few money, plus he himself is the general of Guanlong in the north, and the southerners hate him deeply, it is impossible to succeed here. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "The analysis of the lord is really three points, it seems that you also agreed to give up the land of Yingzhou to Chen Ling?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, Chen Ling can't stay here, if I don't expect it badly, he can't always be here as Sima of Yingzhou, and he will probably be transferred to another place in the next few years." When the time comes, every qiē momentum we put on him will be lost. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head with some disbelief: "It's impossible, Chen Ling has been a Sima here for many years, and he hasn't been transferred, according to the system of my dynasty, the assassin history of a state is often transferred after serving for five years, and the official positions such as Changshi and Sima are mostly held by locals, unless they are promoted, they will rarely be transferred, this Chen Ling has no military merits here, and there is no fault, how can he be transferred?"
