Wang Shichong smiled slightly, and said: "The second reason is very simple, that is, Yang Guang's relocation of the capital is actually good for our future events, this person talks about pomp and circumstance, and enjoys it, not at all like his father who is thrifty and thrifty, if he wants to move to Luoyang to change the new capital, he will definitely build a palace, and he has been in Yangzhou for a long time, he has always liked the scenery of Jiangnan, and after going to Luoyang, he is close to Jiangnan, and he may often go to Jiangnan to play." These are all labor-intensive things. ”

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "So you want him to be so extravagant, and when no one in the world can stand him, you are ready to make trouble?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Yang Xuangan, it's not me who started the incident, it's you who started the incident, don't be mistaken." It is you who said that if you are unconscious and put the people in the midst of fire and water, you will relieve the people of the world from hanging upside down. ”

Yang Xuangan snorted heavily: "No, if he is like this and provokes our Yang family, I will indeed keep my promise, but Wang Shichong, you lead him to this step step by step, so as to realize your own ambitions, so that I won't help you, I wonder if I want to get rid of you as a careerist first and stop the future tragedy." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "Yang Xuangan, your set is useless to me, everything is still your own choice in the final analysis, why did I never have this idea when the emperor was in power, and after Yang Guang became the emperor, I had to think about this aspect?" Why did Yu Shiji and these people never dare to mention these when the emperor was in power, and when Yang Guang came to the throne, they all came out one by one? Just do what you like!"

"If he hadn't decided to move the capital, how could I give up the Daxing that had been in business for many years and want to curry favor with him and cater to him?"

Yang Xuangan was speechless by Wang Shichong. After a while, he sighed: "Maybe this qiē is all fate." ”

Wang Shichong suddenly became excited. A pair of turquoise eyes flashed with a divine light. And that ugly face became even more muscles twisted, and his face was hideous, and he roared: "There is no fate, Yang Xuangan, you remember, no one's fate is predestined by God, and everything is in his own hands." ”

Yang Xuan didn't expect Wang Shichong to have this kind of reaction, and was secretly taken aback. looked at the excited Wang Shichong and didn't speak for a while.

Wang Shichong swallowed a soak of saliva fiercely, his voice was a little lower, but it still revealed the grief and indignation in his chest: "Why are you Yang Xuangan born rich and noble, with fine clothes and jade food, I, Wang Shichong, are destined to live under people, nodding and bowing to people all my life?" Where am I inferior to you? This bullshit destiny says I don't believe it, I only believe in myself!"

Yang Xuangan quietly watched Wang Shichong vent viciously like this, without saying a word, he knew Wang Shichong very well. I also know his talent, and even have some sympathy for him to come this way. But he still can't forgive Wang Shichong's approach, but when he thinks that he is still cooperating with this person, he can't help but laugh at himself in his heart.

After Wang Shichong finished roaring, his eyes were red, and his nostrils were "whirring", and he was not so angry when he robbed his wife last time. Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Wang Shichong, I hope that when you change your fate, you don't let other people's fates be too miserable, this is a small request from me to you." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Are you talking about those Xiaomin who are ascending to the Dou?" They have nothing to do with me, the weak can only be slaughtered and manipulated by others, if you want to control your own destiny, you can only become stronger, which is also the survival law of natural selection. ”

Yang Xuangan knew that he would never be able to reach a consensus on this issue, so he changed the topic: "After returning to Beijing, what are your plans?" ”

Wang Shichong let out a long breath, his feelings became calmer, he did not answer Yang Xuangan's question directly, but stared at Yang Xuangan's eyes, and said for a long time: "Yang Xuangan, do you know, I don't know why, I, Wang Shichong, am always pretending to be in front of others, acting, and always wearing a mask to live, but in front of you, I can put down a qiē disguise and straighten my chest, this feeling is really good." ”

"There's something I tell you, you may laugh at me, sometimes I'm really bored in my heart, I will run to a forest near my house, that is, the forest you ran to last time you robbed my woman, there is a tree, I hollowed it out in the middle, leaving only a small hole, you can shout loudly at that hole, shout out all the grievances and grievances in my heart, and I will be comfortable after roaring."

Yang Xuan sighed: "Didn't you say that Duan Da is also your bosom friend?" You can't say these things in conversation? And your nephews. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "They don't have any opinions, to put it bluntly, they are just brave husbands, they will listen to what I say, and they are not bored if they talk too much, sometimes they will be hot-headed, and it is inevitable that they will do something stupid, just like the last time they kidnapped Yang Yong, it was to Duan Da and Xue Rengao, two brainless and reckless men, who made me lose my mind." So instead of talking to them, I'd just yell at that hole. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Yang Xuangan and laughed: "But fortunately, there are still you Yang Xuangan can talk to me, you and I have a different position, although you are now an ally, but after all, you are not all the way, from your position to refute me, accuse me, stop me, these are all helpful to me, let me know what can be done and what can't." ”

Yang Xuangan said coldly: "I hope you can remember these words yourself, I don't say that you go against the sky, I only say that the people's hearts are back, you are too desperate to do things, and you will treat the people like dung, and in the future, the people of the world will only abandon you like a shoe." You're a smart man, and I'll do what I say. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Yang Xuangan, if you really come to the troubled times, you will know what the people of the world really follow." Morality is noble, chivalrous courage can not let you survive in that era, the thief waits, the thief is the unchanging common sense in the world, the combination of grace and power, the art of war and the power of the husband is the foundation of the husband's life, none of us can convince anyone, and we will use the facts to speak in the future. ”

Wang Shichong paused for a moment and continued: "Now to answer your question just now, after I return to Daxing, I can no longer hang an official name like before, no matter what, the new emperor will ascend the throne." The officials under him always have to be diligent. Unless it's like your good brother Li Mi. Completely abandon the official position. ”

Yang Xuanjian was so taken aback that he almost jumped up, he hurriedly asked, "Li Mi has abandoned the official?" What's going on! ”

Wang Shichong was slightly stunned: "You don't know about this?" News from a month ago. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "I was still in Daizhou a month ago, and then I rushed back to Huozhou Bird Mouse Valley, how could I know these things." ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said, "Then it's up to me to tell you, half a month after you set out on the expedition, Li Mi has been promoted from the guard of the East Palace to the guard of the Qianniu Guard guarding the palace. Zuo Yiwei, who belonged to Yuwenshu, happened to be on duty that day, standing outside the palace gate. ”

"At that time, Yang Guangzheng and Yu Shiji and others discussed the matter of moving the capital, Li Mi has been looking around the palace, which attracted Yang Guang's attention, Yang Guang immediately asked Li Mi to retreat, and afterwards found Yu Wenshu, who was in charge of the palace guard, and asked who this black boy was."

Yuwen explained Li Mi's identity, and Yang Guangyi heard that he was the prince of Pushan County, a member of the Eight Pillars Clan. immediately asked Yuwenshu to drive him out of the army. ”

"You also know that person Yuwenshu, as long as it is a threat to him. Whether it's a young man with a potential threat or an old guy who is in front of him right now, there's a chance to take it down. ”

"This Li Mi's talent is above him, he can be called the top of the younger generation among the children of the aristocracy, much stronger than his three sons, and he has such a good relationship with Yang Zhao, how could he let go of this opportunity?"

The green light in Wang Shichong's eyes flashed, and his words were full of excitement, and he could see how happy Li Mi was when he lost his official position: "So Yu Wenshu went to Li Mi and told him a big truth, saying that he was full of talent, but he was not the material for martial arts, and he should travel the world and become a civil official in the future, instead of wasting time in the palace to stand guard for others, the implication is to let him keep a position and leave quickly." ”

I don't know what Li Mi thinks, but he happily agreed, and he didn't even retain his military position, so he directly resigned from his position and went home to be a civilian. That's what it is. ”

After hearing this, Yang Xuangan laughed and said, "Brother Mi is really alert and knows how to advance and retreat." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with greenness, and said, "Is there anything hidden in this?" Yang Xuangan, do you have any plans with him? ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "Since the death of the first emperor, I haven't met my brother again, but I can understand his behavior." This is a very good way for him to protect himself, and you Wang Shichong can't do this. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light, and he said, "How can you say this?!" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "Do you think the emperor will not know Li Mi?" ”

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Yes, his relationship with Yang Zhao is so close, how can he not be known by Yang Guang?" ”

Yang Xuan sighed and said faintly: "Brother Mi is a really smart person, he must know what you know, so he didn't choose to help the abuse, but chose to protect himself." ”

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and then retorted unconvinced: "Then Li Mi also helped you come up with a lot of ideas before, abolish Yang Yong, help Yang Guang ascend the throne, and even hurt me last time, which time did not have him?" I want to wash myself now, it's too late! You Yang Xuangan is the same, you are not a good person. ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said, "Maybe, but it's okay, I'm not talking about good people and bad people now, don't get excited." ”

Wang Shichong snorted heavily, turned his head and looked away.

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "With Yang Zhao's relationship, plus Li Mi became famous at a young age and has a good reputation, it is impossible for the emperor not to know, the reason why it is not of great use is because Li Mi himself is a member of the Eight Pillars National Clan, and more importantly, he is too close to our Yang family, and the enemy's friend is the enemy, right." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Not bad." Exactly. ”

Yang Xuangan sighed: "Actually, I don't know what the emperor thinks, the last time he ascended the throne was so critical, it was our two families who helped him from birth to death, why didn't he appreciate it?" Where was his Yu Shiji at that time? ”

Wang Shichong smiled "hehe": "Both of them are civil officials, and if they don't have so many guards in your family, it's good to be able to protect themselves!" And you were too active last time, and you pulled out thousands of people at once, which made Yang Guang scared, and this time I helped him. What if I want to rebel next time? ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head helplessly. continued: "So the secret brother must have thought of this as well. Knowing that he has now become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh, staying by the emperor's side may be regarded as the eyes and ears placed by our Yang family, and sooner or later he will be killed, so he has to find a way to find a chance to leave. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "That's true, but why did he completely resign from all military positions?" You must know that if we retain a military post, we can be released to serve as the state assassin after five years, and we can manage our own forces in the local area in a clear and honest manner, which will be of great benefit to our future affairs. Yang Xuangan. My relationship with Li Mi is all about connecting you with you, and you can ask him on my behalf next time. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to find out about this matter, and I will definitely ask him about it when I return to Beijing this time." ”

Although Yang Xuangan said this, his heart was bright, Li Mi's move was definitely a key step after careful consideration, since he traveled to the Quartet a year ago, Li Mi and himself had a trace of envy in several conversations, which could even be said to be jealousy.

Li Mi's resignation. I'm afraid that one is to avoid disaster, and the other is to exchange for a free body. You can calmly walk the rivers and lakes in the name of study tours, make friends with heroes like yourself, and prepare for future changes.

In addition, Yang Guang's relocation of the capital to Luoyang was to openly turn his back on the Guanlong military meritorious aristocratic group and turn to the scholarly and civil official group dominated by the Shandong clan, and Li Mi, as a member of the Eight Pillars national clan, chose to retreat bravely at this time, and maintained this non-violent and non-cooperative relationship with Yang Guang's ruling group, which also helped him leave a good impression in the military merit group.

Yang Xuan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of this, with his many years of understanding of Li Mi, he basically figured out the true thoughts of his righteous brother, and couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wang Shichong looked at the sun outside the door that had begun to sink in the west, and stood up: "Yang Xuangan, I am afraid that you and I will not have a chance to meet in the future for a period of time, so I can do it myself, try to keep a certain distance from the affairs of the Zhou family, and you also know what to say about the official affairs this time, in a word, protect yourself, and you can become my helper in the future." ”

Yang Xuan sat on the bench without moving, and said, "Don't send it." You also protect yourself, this time you also met with me Yang Xuangan twice, especially today, it is best to think of a good explanation. ”

Wang Shichong was slightly stunned, turned around, and said, "You and I have a long talk here today, I'm afraid we have to think of a common agreement." ”

Yang Xuangan lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Let's just say that it is related to Zhou Luohu, after you arrested Chen Zhishen, what you heard him say is a little different from what our Yang family reported in the past, so you want to ask me about the reason." ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not." Yang Guang doesn't know the relationship between you and me, and he still expects me to come over to arrest your Yang family, and he must not expose any private connection between us. ”

Yang Xuangan patted his head: "That's right, you can't let him know about our relationship, that just said that you found that Chen Zhishen's confession was somewhat inconsistent with what his father reported, so first find me, a simple-minded guy, to set up a trick, and want to catch some evidence that can attack our family?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded at first, then suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he shook his head again: "No, I don't know that the Duke of Yue sent Zhou Luohu to the emperor to defend himself, and this explanation is not valid." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "It can be established, you can say that you secretly heard Zhou Luohu and his father's self-defense when he was in the army, that statement is not the same as the situation you learned after interrogating Chen Zhishen, so you want to ask me about this matter, because in the eyes of the emperor, I, Yang Xuangan, are simple-minded and easy to talk about." ”

Wang Shichong also smiled: "This statement is not bad, just like that." However, in Yang Guang's eyes, you are not simple-minded, and you can see that he did not marry his daughter to you back then, and he still has some regrets. ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "Then it's a matter of saying, as for Zhou Luohu, if you can help, you can try to protect it." ”

The smile on Wang Shichong's face dissipated suddenly, and he shook his head seriously: "I can't help with the affairs of the Zhou family, only they are asking for more blessings." You have to be careful not to get involved. ”

Yang Xuan sighed, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Then don't leave it here, Wang Shichong, I hope there will be some good news when I meet you next time." ”

Wang Shichong laughed, didn't answer, turned around and strode out of the courtyard gate.

Yang Xuangan looked at his figure that was gradually moving away, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "The storm is coming, where are our Yang family going?" Brother, brother really envy you for being so easy to advance and retreat. ”

The pain on his back has gradually eased, Yang Xuangan sat for too long, stood up, moved his muscles and bones, put on his coat, and strode towards the door, the unknown fate is ahead, just like the night that is about to fall, can he get through it safely? Yang Xuangan asked himself secretly in his heart.

Wang Shichong walked on the noisy street, looking down and thinking about the long conversation with Yang Xuangan just now, Zhang Jincheng on the side asked in a low voice: "Lord, where are you going next?" ”

Wang Shichong woke up from his contemplation, he smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth: "Go back to Daxing." (To be continued......)
