Wang Shichong sighed: "This Wang Cheng is full of talent, and he is full of resentment towards the emperor, Yang Liang has the grace of knowing him, if Yang Liang really wants to make trouble, this person will definitely serve Yang Liang." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "This is a noteworthy opponent, Yang Liang only has this one general by his side, that strength should not be much stronger, and it is not too difficult to deal with." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Although Yang Liang does not have any strong generals, the soldiers are elite soldiers, and the troops of Youzhou and Prefecture have been guarding against the Turks and Goguryeo for many years, and they are all elite soldiers. Moreover, Yang Liang has been secretly accumulating strength and raising dead soldiers all these years, and there are tens of thousands of swordsman rangers directly raised by his Han Palace. ”

Yang Xuangan was taken aback: "The emperor allowed this to happen?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "The emperor is very fond of this young son, plus Yang Liang has been out of town for many years and left his parents when he was young, the emperor has some guilt in his heart, plus Yang Liang has the intention of containing the prince, so he is granted the right to act cheaply in the entire Kanto region." And the financial taxes of the four Kanto prefectures are also completely controlled by Yang Liang. So he also has the financial resources to do these things, and the emperor just turns a blind eye. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "The emperor used to reward and punish clearly, but he was too arrogant to his sons, and he split the territory to let him divide one side, sooner or later, it will be a big deal, and it will become a disaster for the country." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "What are you doing so much about their Yang family's affairs?" If the four seas are leveled, the natural people will be stable, and the things we discuss will be useless. Only be an honest official. On the contrary, if the tyrant is in power. The strong feudal clan is outside. Brothers cannibalize each other, the world is in chaos, and it becomes like the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, even if we want to be loyal ministers, we can't stop the heroes and heroes from rising up in all directions. ”

Yang Xuan thought about it, and couldn't help but be silent.

Wang Shichong saw that he was almost talking, so he said to Yang Xuangan: "Basically, that's the case, you don't have to worry about things here." I know what to do. ”

"What you have to worry about now is the situation in Daxing City and the King of Han, and it is important to go back to Daxing to help your father get through this difficulty. I will also try my best to help you, after all, my tandem is not completely done, and I don't want the emperor to return to heaven so soon and let the situation get out of control. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, got up and walked out, didn't take two steps, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "Is this Majia restaurant also your property?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "I can't talk about it, it's just that I have some friendship with the father of their two brothers." This Ma family is a Qiang person, and the ancestors are very strange. The eldest son either died prematurely or died unexpectedly, and few of them died well, so starting from the grandfather of the Ma family, there was no eldest son, only the second and third, Ma Lao San of Jincheng and Ma Lao Er here are twin brothers. ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly realized and said, "No wonder these two people look almost identical." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "At first, even I couldn't tell them apart, because these two are twin brothers, I can't determine the eldest and youngest, when I gave birth to them, Ma Lao Er came out a moment early, so he ranked second." But when dividing the industry, because the third child's craftsmanship was better, he inherited his family's ancestral shop pù in Jincheng, and his second brother came to the branch of Guzang City instead, and as a result, he added two points to the side of the horse character in a fit of anger and changed his surname to Feng. ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "Just because of this matter of fighting for family property between brothers, even the surname has to change, Wang Shichong, are you Hu people like this?" We Han people don't dare to do this kind of thing to abandon our ancestors. ”

Wang Shichong was not angry, and smiled faintly: "I'm not a Hu person, emphasize it again." And the Hu people are different from the Han people, there are no rules and regulations such as clan etiquette, so there are no constraints, you must know that many Hu people are named after the tribe, such as Yuwenshu, his real surname is Po Yetou, which is the name of the tribe he was originally in, and he was later given the surname Yuwen. ”

"So this Ma family, they don't have a genealogy, and even they don't know what their original surname is, I heard them say that they were defeated by the Han Dynasty's Fubo general Ma Yuan, and broke their tribe, and later as a slave of the Han people followed the surname Ma, which is not a glorious thing, and then I don't feel embarrassed to change my surname, then the second horse must change the horse to Feng, it is nothing more than to tell the world that he is the second in the family, and the younger brother is the third!"

Yang Xuan didn't expect this kind of mystery to exist, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Wang Shichong continued: "When I used to take the caravan in Jincheng, I used to take care of their family, and when the two brothers separated, I also gave some money to help settle Ma Lao'er, so these two brothers are grateful to me, every time I go to Jincheng and Guzang, I will go to their shop to sit, they don't know what official I am now, what I do, but if I discuss confidential matters with others, I will always provide some convenience." ”

Yang Xuan didn't expect that this Ma family brother was not Wang Shichong's direct subordinate, and he was quite surprised, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his expression.

Wang Shichong seemed to see Yang Xuangan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to arrange my own people in this place, it's just that the rich people in this Guzang City are too wary of outsiders, and whenever a newcomer wants to settle here, they will strictly investigate his experience. However, the Li family, the richest man in the city, knows my relationship with him because of this. ”

"The Li family didn't know at that time that I, Wang Shichong, was the descendant of the branch family who joined forces with them to drive out Guzang, but they only knew that I was a rich and ambitious businessman, and I was a small official in the court. They want to cooperate with me and keep track of the dynamics of Daxing, but they don't want me to interfere in their sphere of influence. ”

"So I reached an agreement with the Li family that I would not be under Guzang's arrangement, and only keep such a foothold, and Feng Lao Er could not directly engage in intelligence matters, otherwise they would turn against me."

Yang Xuangan laughed: "Then you and I are meeting here now, isn't it a violation of this agreement?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "It's not a violation, we just used this place to talk about things between us, and it is not aimed at the wealthy family of Guzang City." Besides, you don't go to see the nobles of this city. Now let's go. They may not know about your deposits. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "Wang Shichong." Your talents are enough to help the world, but it is a pity that you do not follow the right path. The evaluation of Cao Cao is the most suitable for you: a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times. I hope we don't go to the point of life and death in the future, and I'm really a little disappointed to be away from you, a guy who is also a friend and foe. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Yang Xuangan and sat down: "Your brain is much better than before, to be honest, your appearance this time is very unexpected to me." But the world is impermanent, no matter how we plan. It is impossible to anticipate every variable. It's good to do it yourself, I'm afraid that Daxing City will soon set off a storm. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, took a deep breath, and walked out of the cellar.

Wang Shichong waited until Yang Xuangan walked away, and then walked out of the cellar, Feng Lao Er greeted him with a smile on his face, Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Old Feng, help me do something, take my name and go to the Li Mansion." Let Li Xingshou convene a meeting of Guzang Haoshang tonight, and say that I have something important. ”

Fifteen days later. It was nearly the end of October, Wang Shichong returned to Daxing City, this trip to the Silk Road, a lot of harvest, not only let Yang Xuan feel the strength of his people in the right land of Hexi, dispelled their idea of competing with themselves here, and arranged the matter of trading pig iron with the Turks properly, that Gao Baoyi saw his strength in Guzang City, presumably the prince of Na Xuan Bi will find ways to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with himself.

After Wang Shichong arrived in the garden, he first met Concubine Shi's mother and son, he found a quiet house in the garden for them to move in, and kept it strictly secret to the outside world, only after a few days and Chen Xuan'er took over, he found a reliable house outside and sent them over, of course, this house can't be too close to his own relationship, Zhang Jin said that he has been doing this.

And after Chen Linzhi came to the garden, he has been looking for something to do, Wang Shichong has also thought about it along the way, let him go to his own horse market in Daxing City to do a palm, from the most basic business to learn, this idea he told Concubine Shi, it can be seen that Chen Linzhi himself is not very happy, but Concubine Shi thanked him repeatedly, the three of them did not say too long, the news of Pei Shiju's visit made Wang Shichong hurriedly say goodbye to Shi's mother and son, and rushed back to the top floor of Siyu Building.

Talking about things with others, Wang Shichong generally chooses the secret room on the ground floor, only with Pei Shiju, he will be on the fourth floor, this is an unwritten rule for many years, but in the past two years, he and Pei Shiju have rarely seen each other, especially the last time I found out that Pei Shiju actually got together with King Han, which made Wang Shichong suddenly a little unfamiliar with his long-term friend.

Today's Pei Shiju wore a blue leather jacket, standing at the railing, the cold wind of late autumn blowing his beard, Wang Shichong sat on the Hu bed indoors, the two of them didn't say a word for a long time, or Pei Shiju sighed: "Okay, are you not satisfied that I found the King of Han?" ”

Wang Shichong raised his head: "Hongdae, you are such a smart person, why are you in such a hurry to bet this time?" ”

Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "Are you still not optimistic about the success of the Han King uprising?" ”

Wang Shichong stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "Hongdae, I don't know where your confidence in the King of Han comes from, you don't know the situation in Guanzhong, the country's elite soldiers and good generals are all in Daxing, if the King of Han does not have a righteous name, it is difficult to say how many people under him can follow him, such as the eldest grandson Wunai, such as Dou Luyu, these people will not really follow him all the way to the black, is it that the relationship between you Pei Hongda and Yang Liang is deeper than them?" When I was in Taiyuan, I didn't say much in front of Pei Wen'an, but now I want to ask you what you think. ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "If the emperor returns to heaven and finds a way to kidnap Yang Yong and Yang Xiu to Bingzhou, won't it be done, and when the time comes, the unsightly things that the former prince did will be made public, won't this righteous name come back?" Okay, let me tell you the truth, the reason why I chose Yang Liang is not because I am optimistic about him, but because this is the only opportunity for my mentor to come out of the mountain again. In Yang Guang's hands, is he still likely to have a good ending? ”

Wang Shichong didn't expect Pei Shiju to toss like this for Gao Ying, he was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he sigh and said faintly: "Hongdae, you do this, do you know about it?" ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "Of course you can't talk to him about this kind of thing, if it doesn't work out, I will take the blame myself." He will not be implicated. It won't implicate you. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Your loyalty and dedication to the teacher really touched me. But have you ever thought about Hongdae, what is the chance of success in doing so? The emperor now lets Yang Yong and Yang Xiu to Changsun Sheng to watch, but it doesn't mean that he still does this when he is about to die, at that time, in order to let the prince take power and succeed him, he will also escort these two back to the East Palace to guard, what do you use to kidnap them and defect to Yang Liang? ”

Pei Shiju said excitedly: "It's full." You don't know, when you are laying out everywhere, I am not idle, I have already contacted a lot of civil and military officials in Daxing City, if it really comes to that point, we will cooperate with the outside world, seize the East Palace, and forcibly recapture Yang Yong and Yang Xiu. ”

Wang Shichong was taken aback by Pei Shiju's plan, and his eyes widened: "Hongdae, are you crazy?" You're openly rebelling in Daxing City. If you do this, there is basically no chance of success. The army is outside the city, and there are also Xiaoguo troops guarding the city, what do you use to forcibly rob it? ”

Pei Shiju said proudly: "Xingman, you still underestimate the connections and abilities of your teacher for twenty years, more than half of the officials and clans in Daxing City are deeply sympathetic to the plight of Gao Servant and Yang Yong, the emperor can forcibly close the schools in the world, but it is impossible to stir people's hearts, when he is alive, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, if it is after returning to heaven, it will be possible." ”

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "Hongdae, how many people have you connected now, and where have you go?" ”

Pei Shiju put away his smile and said: "General He Ruo, General Yuanxuan have made it clear that they are willing to work with us, and I have also found out the bottom of Changsun Sheng, he said that when the time comes, the two will not help each other, and the army of the right guard will not be dispatched, and it will be full, if Yang Yong is locked up in Changsun Sheng's camp, it will be difficult for us to snatch it, but as long as others are in the East Palace, relying on the strength that clearly supports us now, as long as you can transfer your subordinates and allies from all over the country to Daxing, the matter can be decided in one go!" ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Hongdae, don't forget, Yang Yong is my number one enemy, I will kill him, what do you mean by telling me to rescue Yang Yong now?" If you want Gao Servant to reset, I have no opinion, but Yang Yong, I won't let it go. ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "It's full, if the big husband wants to become a big thing, he can't stick to the small sections, Yang Yong has been abolished for many years, and there is not a single soldier in his hands, robbing him out just to take advantage of his big banner, even if Yang Liang succeeds in the future, it will not be Yang Yong who sits in the world, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Yang Liang will not be able to tolerate Yang Yong, why are you in a hurry at this time?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "Aren't you doing this to release the high servant, with his relationship with Yang Yong, will you protect Yang Yong from death?" Hongdae, are you thinking that I am a three-year-old? ”

Pei Shiju was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Xingman, why don't you understand, back then, the servant shot Yang Yong to death not because of how good he had a relationship with him, but because he was tied to Yang Yong's interests, one was prosperous and one was lost, and now Yang Yong can't re-ascend the throne anyway, how can the teacher waste his popularity on him?" ”

Wang Shichong's eyebrows raised: "Even if Yang Guang ascends the throne, Gao Servant Shot may still go out of the mountain as an official, Hongdae, you say it's not for Yang Yong, so why take such a risk?" ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "Don't you know who Yang Guang is?" Do you think he can really be a teacher? The teacher is in his hands, and he will die in less than three years, and when he comes to Yang Liang's hands, even if he can't be an official, at least his life is safe, and he is full, don't you still understand my mind? ”

Wang Shichong didn't speak, sat back on the Hu bed, closed his eyes, and thought carefully, no matter what, the news brought by Pei Shiju today is also heavy enough, I didn't expect him to be able to connect this kind of Cheng dù, it seems that the Guanlong military nobles in Daxing City are not monolithic, at least many people are oriented to Gao Ying, in this way, if Yang Yong and Yang Xiu can really be hijacked to defect to Yang Liang, the victory or defeat is really unknown, and if Yang Guang distrusts the Guanlong generals because of this, Instead, a new general like himself will lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and then his opportunity will really come.

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong gritted his teeth, once he can finally get the world, are you afraid that Yang Yong's life will not be killed, and let him live for a few more years, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Hongdae, what does Yue Guogong mean, have you looked for him?" ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "How could I go to find Yang Su, he is the sworn enemy of his mentor, although he is alienated by the emperor now, but after all, he has made a great contribution to Yang Guang's entry into the East Palace, if he really wants to rob Yang Yong, then he is likely to be a head-on enemy with Yang Su." Xingman, I know that you and Yang Xuan have a good relationship, but in this matter, I advise you to still figure out who is a friend and who is an enemy. ”

Wang Shichong didn't answer this, and asked again: "Hongdae, what do you mean if you want me to transfer my subordinates and allies from all over the country, I won't hide it from you, I can transfer tens of thousands of people, but how can such a large-scale person enter Daxing?" I'm afraid that before you do it, people will notice it, and if you engage in tandem like this, aren't you afraid that things will be revealed? ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "Now that the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it, the emperor heard that he is seriously ill, Yang Guang has also moved to the East Palace, and now their control over Daxing has decreased a lot, it is a good time for us to contact Haojie and prepare to launch." I have already thought about it, people can be scattered in the manor courtyard outside Daxing City first, and when the emperor dies, he will enter the city from various secret roads in Daxing City, and at the same time block the city gate, and prevent the people from Renshou Palace from returning to Daxing, as long as Yang Yong and Yang Xiu are robbed, they will go to Yang Liang, and announce that they will crusade against Wudao, Qingjun's side, and then the big thing can be decided! (To be continued......)
