Yang Gongren watched Zheng Yuanshou go away, and his mood was extremely heavy.

Zheng Yuanshou did not respond to his threat head-on, in fact, he hinted to Yang Gongren from the side, Xingyang Zheng's first consideration in this storm is its own interests, and in the case of its own interests can be safe, and then take into account the interests of other parties, and what needs to be considered is the interests of the Eastern Capital, because the interests of the Eastern Capital are closely related to the interests of the Xingyang Zheng Family, the interests of the Eastern Capital are strictly damaged, the Eastern Capital has become a ruin, and the Xingyang Zheng Clan can be left alone?

There is no way, the Xingyang Zheng clan is in the center of the storm, if you want to protect yourself, you can only protect yourself by Mingzhe, otherwise it will either be destroyed by Yang Xuangan, or destroyed by King Qi, or destroyed by Xijing, there are too many powerful opponents, and Xingyang Zheng cannot afford to provoke any of them. Taking a step back, even if the Xingyang Zheng clan escaped the invasion of this storm by luck, followed by the liquidation of the Holy Lord, or the blow of the new emperor, in short, as long as the Xingyang Zheng clan established its own political position prematurely, it was a big gamble, and in the process of gambling, the Xingyang Zheng clan was like an abyss, walking on thin ice, and it would be wiped out if it was not careful, so from the perspective of survival and safety, it was impossible for the Xingyang Zheng clan to gamble with all their net worth and life in this storm, and would only shrink their heads as turtles and let them changeOf course, this kind of speculation is despised by the world, and it insults the reputation of the Xingyang Zheng family, but compared with the fundamental interests of the Xingyang Zheng family, what is this loss of reputation?

It's just that the influence of the Xingyang Zheng clan is too great, and at the critical juncture, the Xingyang Zheng clan is not actively saving the crisis, not devoting itself to defending the eastern capital, not defending the national Zuo without hesitation, but using speculation to safeguard its own interests, actively using this crisis to grab personal interests, ignoring the safety of the eastern capital and Guozuo, and showing extreme indifference and selfishness. It will only benefit the rebels and the ill-intentioned.

However, Yang Gongren is powerless to accuse Zheng Yuanshou, his thoughts and actions are actually the same as Zheng Yuanshou, but for him, family and country, public and private are inseparable as one, and his country and public are actually for family and private if you look at it from another perspective. Since Yang Gongren spared no expense for the interests of the royal family, Zheng Yuanshou's approach was understandable, and it was impossible for a wealthy family to be willing to live and die with this kingdom that was constantly damaging and eroding its interests like the royal family.

Zheng Yuanshou's choice may be the choice of most of the magnates in the Eastern Capital when the storm is raging wildly, and no choice is actually a choice, no attitude is actually an attitude, no position is actually a position, but this kind of indifference is a choice, attitude and position, for the two sides of the fierce confrontation in this storm, it is a cruel reality that has to be accepted, because of the lack of enough allies and help, they can only rely on their own strength to fight, when the victor stands up with a bloody body and raises his arms and shouts, He was greeted not necessarily with heroic applause, but with indifferent and cruel hostile gazes, and then the victors were mercilessly devoured by them, and all the gains were divided among them. The snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, these "fishermen" who laugh to the end are too terrible, so terrible that Yang Gongren shuddered, so terrible that even if they are as strong as the Holy Master, they have to compromise and give in.

Yang Gongren thought about it again and again, and resolutely rushed to the Yue Wang's Mansion and implored Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to give an order to summon all the high-level military and political officials in Beijing to enter the imperial city and discuss matters in Shangshudu Province. Yang Gongren's purpose is very simple, first to ensure the safety of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and the central officials, and to ensure the safety of the power center of the Eastern Capital, only in this way can we ensure that when the storm ravages the Eastern Capital, the command system of the Eastern Capital will always be able to play a role in an orderly manner, giving confidence and courage to the military and people of the Eastern Capital, otherwise the command will fail, each fighting for its own sake, and the Eastern Capital will inevitably fall.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, went down to Shangshudu Province from the left and right of Yang Gongren, Yang Hao and Cui Zhen, and the first thing he saw was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Fan Zigai who stayed behind in the Eastern Capital, as well as Yuan Wendu, the secretary of Taifu, and Dugu Sheng, the general of the Zuo Jian Gate, who was the three major chiefs of the military, government and finance who spoke and counted in the imperial city.

The expressions of these three people were very strict, and they seemed to be a little heavier than usual, I don't know if it was because Yang Tong, the king of Yue, suddenly summoned the military and political officials to discuss the affairs of Shangshudu Province, which gave them an ominous premonition, or because they also received the news of the Liyang Mutiny through their own private channels, or because of the heavy impact caused by Zheng Yuanshou, the right waiting guard general who was sitting in the Wei Mansion, suddenly left the eastern capital and rushed to Tongguan, in short, the atmosphere was obviously abnormal, and even the young Yang Tong was keenly aware of it, When he walked into the lobby, he couldn't help but quietly ask Yang Gongren, is there something wrong? Yang Gongren's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, but just gave him a look of "don't be impatient". Yang Tong comprehended and suddenly became nervous, what happened to the military and political leaders in Beijing to gather in Shangshudu Province for discussion?

After sitting down in the side hall, Fan Zigai took the lead in speaking, "King, why did Gong Xin (Zheng Yuanshou) suddenly rush to Tongguan?" ”

Yang Tong looked hesitant, looked at Yang Gongren and Yang Hao, and then looked at Cui Zhen, wanting to ask for their opinions.

Zheng Yuanshou went to Tongguan, and he should have said to the king of Yue and found a high-sounding excuse, such as inspecting the passes, comforting the officers and soldiers, etc., and there was an explanation from top to bottom, of course, the military has its independence and particularity, under normal circumstances, Zheng Yuanshou can go wherever he wants in his own garrison, and there is no need to report to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and the central government to stay in the center, but now is a special period, the situation in the eastern capital is deteriorating day by day, and the crisis in the eastern capital is becoming more and more serious. The thief marshal Han Xiangguo even fought with the Weifu army on the battlefield of Yique south of Luoshui, so at this moment, as Zheng Yuanshou, who stayed in the Weifu, his every move was very important, not only to actively maintain close contact with the central government, the Eastern Capital Left-behind Mansion, and the Henan Internal History Mansion on behalf of the military to facilitate coordination, but also to report the latest military situation and ask Yang Tong, the nominal supreme military and political governor of the Eastern Capital, to report the latest military situation and ask for heavy military affairs at any time, however, Zheng Yuanshou didn't know whether it was intentional or something else, so he told Yang Gongren before leaving Beijing, Then he left, not to mention that Yang Tong and Fan Zigai and others did not know that Zheng Yuanshou had left Beijing, and even the main officials and subordinates in the Wei Mansion who handled daily affairs did not know why Zheng Yuanshou suddenly rushed to Tongguan.

Yang Tong was on the way to the imperial city, together with Yang Hao and Cui Zhen, he heard Yang Gongren say that Zheng Yuanshou had left Beijing and went to Tongguan, as for why Zheng Yuanshou had to leave Beijing suddenly, why he had to go to Tongguan suddenly, Yang Gongren did not say, Yang Tong did not ask, in his opinion, this is all the internal affairs of the military, he has no right to be involved, and he cannot be involved. Yang Hao and Cui Zhen were very angry, disappointed, helpless, and worried, worried that Zheng Yuanshou's move would have an irretrievable bad impact on the situation in the Eastern Capital, and even directly endanger the safety of the Eastern Capital.

"Something happened to Xijing?" Fan Zigai saw Yang Tong hesitate, and immediately asked, "Or is there something wrong with the Northwest Army?" Or is there something wrong with the Honghua Left-behind Mansion?

Yang Tong immediately realized that there was something hidden behind Zheng Yuanshou's sudden departure from Beijing, and it had already caused panic in the imperial city, and some ill-intentioned people were deliberately confusing people with this matter, so he said without thinking, "Gong Xin's inspection of Tongguan is just a routine matter, and Gu has asked Gong Xin to go back." Yang Tong's gaze slowly swept over the faces of Fan Zigai, Yuan Wendu, and Dugu Sheng, and the color of dissatisfaction was overflowing, "Qing and the others should not be suspicious, let alone discuss the affairs of the Wei Mansion to avoid contradictions." At present, the crisis is getting worse day by day, and the military and the government must trust each other and make concerted efforts to tide over the difficulties together. ”

Fan Zigai's face was expressionless, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking. Yuan Wendu's eyes showed a look of mockery, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. Dugu Sheng stroked his hair and shook his head, worried.

Everyone knows that Zheng Yuanshou did not go to the Yue Wangfu at all before leaving Beijing in a hurry, but only passed through the mansion of Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, and Zheng Yuanshou could not have known that his sudden departure from Beijing and his deliberate humiliation of the Yue King would not only cause shocks at the political level, but also deal a devastating blow to the confidence and cohesion of the Eastern Capital at the level of public opinion.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was directly "ignored" by the military, and Yang Gongren was "pitted" by the military, and what is even stricter is that the military also successfully provoked contradictions between Yang Gongren and Fan Zigai and other political bigwigs, as well as between the clan and the major political forces in the Eastern Capital.

The clan has been suppressed by the major political forces, in addition to Yang Gongren, in its young generation of children basically can not find the "big beam", the reason for this situation is not because the children of the clan are not talented enough, but the result of being suppressed by the major political forces, talents need to be cultivated for many years, a lot of opportunities and a lot of resources are consumed, if these opportunities and resources are occupied by the clan, the clan is dominant, it will inevitably lead to a series of political crises and even national turmoil, For example, after Yang Xiong and Yang Da brothers died of illness almost at the same time last year, there was a "fault" in the clan at the top of power, and the structure of maintaining the balance of power at the top level lost a strong support point, which will have a far-reaching impact on national policy and national fortunes.

As the new "pillar" of the clan, Yang Gongren naturally became the best candidate to maintain the old top-level power balance, but more people wanted to establish a new top-level power balance, and wanted to take this opportunity to completely drive the clan power out of the top of the power, and weaken the power and wealth held by the clan to the greatest extent, and once the clan was far away from the center of power, the imperial power would lose its biggest supporter and protector, which was also a direct blow to the great unification reform with the goal of centralization, so Yang Gongren naturally became some peopleThe "thorn in the eye" is bound to be eliminated quickly.

Now Zheng Yuanshou publicly announced to the top management of the Eastern Capital in the form of a sudden departure from Beijing that Yang Gongren was "pitted", and he was "pitted" by everyone, and the result is that no matter what Fan Zigai and others' original intention was to support Yang Gongren to seize military power, they have now become the murderers of Yang Gongren, and they are speechless.

Yang Gongren's grim expression had already revealed his anger at the moment. It is a fact that he was "pitted" by the gangsters in front of him, and his brilliant future has become bleak, and the reason why he was "pitted" is because he rushed out without hesitation to save the Eastern Capital, so in other words, if the Eastern Capital falls, it will not be these gangsters who will join forces to "pit" him, but he will "pit" these bigwigs together.

Yang Gongren has won more initiative, he has no scruples now, he wants to firmly grasp the authority in his hands, hold the eastern capital at any cost, let it go, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, whoever dares to be his enemy, he will count the new and old hatreds together.

"Duke Xin's sudden departure from Beijing will have some adverse effects on the Eastern Capital, and in order to eliminate these adverse effects, the defense deployment of the Eastern Capital will have to make some adjustments." Yang Gongren spoke, his tone was cold, "Immediately order Wu Benlang to withdraw Fei Yao to Waiguo, and take full charge of the garrison of Waiguo." Before midnight, the defenders of the major gates of the eastern capital were all replaced. ”

Yuan Wen did not raise any objections, it was really unwise to confront Yang Gongren at this moment.

"Order Wu Benlang to return to the Eastern Capital immediately, sit in Kim Yong City, and take full charge of the garrison of Bishan to ensure the safety of the northern part of the Eastern Capital and ensure the unimpeded passage between the Eastern Capital and Hayang."

Cui Zhen didn't raise any objections, but he heard an ominous voice from Yang Gongren's order. Yang Gongren is preset to retreat, once the eastern capital can not be defended, Yang Gongren will empty the imperial city and the palace city, cross the river and withdraw to Heyang, according to Hanoi and stick to wait for help.
