Daming Palace, Zichen Palace, Yang Guozhong hurriedly asked to see the Tang Emperor Li Longji.

"Your Majesty, the minister has confidential military information to report to His Majesty alone." Yang Guozhong looked mysterious, and at the same time glanced at Gao Lishi who was standing beside Li Longji meaningfully.

Li Longji was a little displeased and said: "It doesn't hurt to say anything about the military situation, what do you do, can't I still believe Gao Weng?" ”

"That's what the minister said." Yang Guozhong glanced at Gao Lishi very lightly, Gao Lishi frowned, and said in his heart, what kind of moth is this waste traitor going to come out of, is it still related to me? Your Majesty will one day be ruined at the hands of this casino thug.

I listened to Yang Guozhong said: "During this time, the secret spy activities of Tiance Mansion were rampant, fanning the flames everywhere, slandering the ministers, and now in Chang'an City, rumors are flying, people are panicking, and there are many people, even the official eunuchs of the family, are all interested in Tiance Mansion, speaking for Tiance Mansion, slandering and slandering Yu Chen and His Majesty." ”

Li Longji was extremely irritable in his heart, and he also knew very well in his heart that he could not escape the blame for An Lushan's rebellion as the emperor. Especially in the past year, hundreds of people in the world have rebelled against An Lushan, but he still loves An Lushan, and in the end, because he was too annoying, he sent more than a dozen loyal ministers to Fanyang, and was beaten to death by An Lushan.

This matter is now known to everyone in Gyeonggi Province, and now An Lushan has really rebelled, and his face has been beaten.

What's even more annoying is that there are still many refugees in Chang'an City who have fled from Hebei Province and Hedong Province, and they will tell people every day, and they don't even need to talk about it, just seeing them can make people think of the misery of Hebei Hedong Road.

If you don't ask, you can know that the discussion between these eunuchs and the people at this time must be good and unhearable. I'm afraid that everyone doesn't know how to scold me for being a faint king!

But the prestige of Cheonce Mansion is really good, which household in Gyeonggi Province has not benefited from Cheonce Mansion or Sihai Trading Company? Whether it is recruiting workers, running a business and running a workshop together, or disaster relief, or standing up to conquer Nanzhao on their behalf, who is not grateful to Tiance Mansion in his heart?

I feel this. These days, Li Longji has also thought about making great efforts again, working hard, and raising his prestige, but he has not thought about the government for more than ten years, and he suddenly wants to do things, how can he adapt to it, and he doesn't even know how to start, and the irritability in his heart can be imagined.

Li Longji asked eagerly, "How do these people talk about me?" ”

"The people say that it is all because His Majesty reuses traitorous ministers. It is also said that last year's drought in Guanzhong and this year's flood were all because of the ministers, otherwise why did the Dugi Province, where the king of Lanling and the king of Jianning are located, have been in good weather in the past two years? ”

Li Longji frowned and said, "What else?" ”

"What's more, these eunuch families and the people all cry out for Tiance Mansion. said that the minister bewitched His Majesty, and said that His Majesty was loyal and treacherous. He said that he had sent 200,000 troops in Nanzhao and another 50,000 troops in Hedong, and now he coveted the merits of Tiance Mansion and the wealth of the Four Seas Trading Company, and bewitched His Majesty to attack Tiance Mansion. ”

Gao Lishi said in his heart, these people are right, this is very good. It's time to kill you Yang Guozhong to thank the world, and the anger of the people will subside!

Li Longji's brows furrowed even deeper, Yang Guozhong's reputation is extremely bad, Li Longji doesn't know it, but he can't be punished at this time.

First, except for Yang Guozhong, there is no one available now. Second, now show weakness and admit mistakes and severely punish Yang Guozhong, Tiance Mansion is bound to gain an inch and point the finger at me again.

When the time comes, the authority of the central ~ central government is lost, Chang'an is in chaos, and the local border towns may not listen to the dispatch, and the Tiance army can just kill all the way in.

If you want to move, Yang Guozhong must wait for this critical moment.

Li Longji said: "You continue. ”

Yang Guozhong glanced at Gao Lishi for the third time, and then said: "The minister got reliable information, saying that the Shuofang army had received great benefits from the Tiance Mansion and the Four Seas Trading Company before, and the soldiers of the Shuofang Army had no salary before, because of the help of the Four Seas Trading Company, now there are at least four silver coins per month for silver, food, armor, and war horses have also been greatly improved."

It is also said that many generals of the Shuofang Army have gone to the Tang Dynasty Martial Arts School for further study, and the relationship with the Tiance Mansion is very good, and Guo Ziyi is also because of the recommendation of the King of Lanling and became the envoy of the Shuofang Festival, they are all focused on the Tiance Mansion, and are ready to attack Chang'an with the Tiance Mansion and the Qingjun side!

Not only is this the case with the Shuofang Army, but also with the Hexi Army and the Longyou Army, there are many soldiers and colonels who are complaining about the Tiance Army, and even the Feilong Forbidden Army around His Majesty. Your Majesty, the minister got a secret report, saying that Bai Xin and Yang Nan, the envoys of the Flying Dragon Army on the left and right, have been acting sneakily recently, and have frequent contact with some people who are suspected of being secret spies of Tiance, and they are ready to fight with the troops of the Tiance Army, and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army will do internal response! ”

Gao Lishi said in his heart that he has been looking at me for this, this is bad, this is obviously the Tiance Mansion or who is sowing discord, and the armies that can be used around His Majesty will be divided one by one, so that His Majesty has no soldiers available.

This provocation is too obvious, but Your Majesty is so suspicious, Yang Guozhong is so stupid, how can this be good!

Li Longji was shocked and said: "The thief dares, Xiao Quai, this traitor really didn't have a good heart early in the morning, how can this be good?" ”

Gao Lishi said anxiously: "Yang Xiang, you have to listen to the wind and rain, slander good people, the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army is Your Majesty's own army, our family is personally led, the whole army is loyal to Your Majesty, Bai Xin and Yang Nan are also loyal to Your Majesty, how can you be so slandered." ”

After speaking, Gao Lishi pounced and knelt down in front of Li Longji: "Ah Lang, the old slave dares to assure His Majesty that there is absolutely no problem with the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and Bai Xin and Yang Nan!"

Your Majesty, do you think, with the ability of King Lanling, he is so secretive, if there is such a thing, how can Yang Guozhong know about it in advance? ”

Yang Guozhong said coldly: "Your Majesty, among the six thousand Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, two thousand were trained by Xiao Quai, and one thousand of them have also gone out to fight with him, and they have long recognized King Lanling as their commander in their hearts."

In the past two years, more than seventy percent of the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army have been trained in Datang martial arts, and they have close contacts with Tiance Mansion. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can invite two people to confront the ministers face to face, and you will know when you ask. ”

Li Long is basically suspicious. The Flying Dragon Forbidden Army is the emperor's pro-army, but it has such a deep relationship with Tiance Mansion and Xiao Quai, even though he is intellectually more willing to believe in Gao Lishi, but subconsciously, Li Longji is afraid of death, so he naturally nodded hurriedly. Let Gao Lishi go out of the palace and let people call Bai Xin and Yang Nan to come.

At the same time, Yang Guozhong seized the time to talk about how his information came from, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, Li Longji's face became worse and worse, and the two began to discuss how to deal with the rumors and how to deal with the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, and the Longyou Army.

When Gao Lishi heard this, he was anxious again and admonished: "Your Majesty, no, it's better to be blocked." Blindly using the strong, wouldn't it make the people of Chang'an panic even more, wouldn't it push the hearts of the people to Tiance Mansion and King Lanling even more?

This is clearly the strategy of the King of Lanling, he wants to use this method to compete with His Majesty for the hearts and minds of the people, cut off His Majesty's right-hand man, His Majesty is so suspicious of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, Shuofang Army, and Hexi Army. Longyoujun, wouldn't it be the right thing to do with the king of Lanling! ”

Li Longji may not have the same thoughts as Colliers intellectually. Xiao Quai's scheming is so deep and his work is so secretive, he really has already bought the Feilong Forbidden Army, the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, and the Longyou Army. How could it be easy for Yang Guozhong to know?

But deep in his heart, there was another stronger voice sounding, people's hearts are unpredictable, even people like An Lushan who look straight and stupid can always deceive themselves. These generals are unreliable, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if it is true? If I don't do anything, won't I sit back and die?

"Lux, then what do you say, what should I do for the sake of today?"

Gao Lishi hurriedly said respectfully: "For today's plan, Ah Langyi issued an edict to sin himself, make great efforts to refresh the government, and at the same time, recover the previous will, order the soldiers and horses of all towns in the world to fight against the rebels in Youzhou, and reward the meritorious personnel, especially the Tiance Mansion, the King of Jianning, and the King of Lanling."

Only in this way can we conform to the will of the people and compete with Tiance Mansion and King Jianning of Lanling. Ah Lang has been a peaceful son for forty years, although there are small mistakes, but he does not hide his merits, the people's hearts are still here with His Majesty, and the generals in the border towns still support His Majesty.

At this time, if the king of Lanling and the king of Jianning want to do anything unsubordinate, it is to rebel, not only will the people of the world and the soldiers and horses of all towns and towns not support him, but even the soldiers of Tiance Mansion will not follow them to rebel.

Your Majesty, that is the Tiance Mansion that swears to abide by the Tang Dynasty and is the most loyal to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it will be the king of Lanling in Tiance Mansion, and the king of Jianning can only bow down to his ministers! After the world is governed, how does Your Majesty want to deal with Tiance Mansion, isn't it just a matter of one sentence for King Lanling and King Jianning?

As long as Ah Lang punishes the traitors around him, such as the Kaiyuan period, appointing virtuous ministers and serving the government with heart, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be new and excited. ”

Li Longji hesitated slightly, he didn't have the idea of re-energizing, working hard, and improving his prestige, but now that Tiance Mansion is such a big threat to his throne, everything has to wait until the problem of Tiance Mansion is solved.

Seeing him hesitate, Gao Lishi hurriedly added: "Ah Lang, King Lanling once sent a message to the old slave, that is, to let the old slave pass a message to His Majesty, and made a guarantee that he has no two hearts about the Tang Dynasty, as long as His Majesty can eliminate the evil spirit, refresh the government, and make great efforts, he will definitely abide by the minister's festival, but His Majesty's order is obeyed!" ”

Yang Guozhong didn't do it anymore, he really can't bark as a dog that can bite people, this Gao Lishi is cautious and careful on weekdays, and no one can be offended, but now he is punishing the evil one by one, isn't this evil talking about himself?

His reputation among the officials and the people is so bad, and the only thing he relies on is His Majesty's support, and if His Majesty hesitates a little, his family will be doomed.

So Yang Guozhong also knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the king of Lanling has a reckless heart, he is Wang Mang who wants to usurp the Han, how humble Wang Mang was before he usurped the Han, how can he believe his words?" ”

Li Longji also thought about it, he naturally believed in Gao Lishi's loyalty to him, but if he believed that Xiao Qubing would not usurp power and seize the throne, he would not believe it if he died.

So he became angry and said sharply to Gao Lishi: "Lux, you should not speak for that traitor again, if I didn't know your heart well, just based on what you just said, I should have punished you with death!" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly apologized in fright, saying that he was confused for a while and said the wrong thing, but he couldn't help lamenting in his heart, it's over, it's over, Your Majesty is going to be killed by Yang Guozhong's stupid pig now!

Soon Bai Xin and Yang Nan were brought. Yang Guozhong confronted him personally, and the two naturally denied it, Yang Guozhong was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and kept saying that there was something wrong with the two, and Li Longji also held the principle that he would rather believe it than not believe it, so he really locked up the two of them for their crimes. If it weren't for Gao Lishi's desperate plea, he would have almost been pushed out and killed.

Even so, Li Longji was still not at ease, and under Yang Guozhong's constant emphasis, he ordered the eunuch to take hundreds of Feilong forbidden troops to Shuofang Army, Hexi Army, and Longyou Army with edicts in hand to be the supervisor army and actually control the army. Guo Ziyi, An Sishun, and Ge Shuhan can be killed immediately if they disobey their orders.

On this side, the left and right Flying Dragon Army sent Bai Xin and Yang Nan to prison, and ordered Yang Guozhong's eldest son Yang Xuan to be the left Feilong military envoy, and Yang Guozhong's brother-in-law Pei Yu to be the right Feilong military envoy; Jin Wuwei's eldest grandson, Quanxu, was Yang Xuan as the general of the Zuo Tianwu Army, and Yang Guozhong's second son Yang Hao was the general of Jin Wuwei.

Yang Guozhong was very happy, His Majesty still trusts himself, but he still has to rely on himself, and more than eighty percent of the army in Chang'an City is in his own hands, which is simply too cool. The apex of life is woody!

He also looked at Gao Lishi, whose face was ugly, and sighed. Humming a minor tune, he walked out of the Zichen Palace, and went to arrange the suppression of the people's discussions, as well as the matter of subduing the hearts of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

Hmph, these people of Chang'an still dare to scold me, tell you to scold, and arrest them all! Isn't the Wyvern Forbidden Army very good? Rely on Lao Tzu to subdue you!

As a result, soon the city of Chang'an was in chaos, and all the Jinwuwei soldiers, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, Chang'an County, and Wannian County were all dispatched to patrol the streets. Those refugees from Hebei Hedong Province were all arrested and driven out of Chang'an City;

The local people of Chang'an, but there are those who dare to scold Yang Guozhong and speak for Tiance Mansion, all of them were arrested and put in prison, and at the same time began to search for Tiance secret spies in the city, and those who were captured were rewarded with 1,000 silver coins, and those who were successfully captured after reporting were rewarded with 500 silver coins!

For a time, the whole Chang'an was like chickens flying and dogs jumping, on the street, in the restaurant and teahouse, all the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but when they returned home, everyone secretly scolded Yang Guozhong hundreds of times, and they hated each one by one.

At this time, Li Tianxi, the secret spy leader of Tiance Mansion and the commander of the secret guard, who was wanted by Yang Guozhong, was in a big mansion of the Cui family in Boling, and said to the owner of the house with a smile: "What King Lanling said is really right, Yang Guozhong, this big living treasure, has really helped us a lot." ”

Cui Lian was born in the big house of the Cui family in Boling, his grandfather was Wu Zetian and Cui Xuanwei, the prime minister of the Tang Zhongzong period, the Boling Cui family was regarded as the first high gate in the world in the Tang Dynasty, the head of the northern wealthy family, and the children of the clan were countless officials in Chang'an and various places, Li Tianxi hid here, naturally it was safe.

Cui Lian is a famous family with a high surname, and he is a family heirloom of poetry and books, but he can't look down on a casino gangster like Yang Guozhong who doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, and Cui Lian's personality and his grandfather Cui Xuanwei have an upright personality, and they were excluded by Yang Guozhong because they refused to rely on Yang Guozhong.

However, Tiance Mansion promised him that as long as Yang Guozhong fell, after Li Qi took power, he would arrange Dali Qing (chief justice) for him, and the Boling Cui clan also formed a community of interests with the Four Seas Trading Company.

In that era, the family was originally more important than the interests of the country, not to mention that it was also in the national interest to let Yang Guozhong and Li Longji fall. Therefore, the family Gaomen represented by Cui Jian naturally stood on the side of Tiance Mansion without hesitation, giving all kinds of cooperation and help.

Cui Jian also sneered and said: "It's ridiculous that Yang Guozhong's period is not far away, and he doesn't know it, this kind of Xiaoxiao, the most unsuccessful thing is that he has no self-knowledge, just his son and brother-in-law, how can they subdue the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army?" ”

Completely contrary to what Cui Jian thought, Yang Xuan and Pei Yu, the two living treasures that Yang Guozhong valued, were very confident in themselves, and the two of them took the emperor's edict and came to the camp of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army with more than a dozen servants of the Yang Mansion.

The location of Daming Palace, in the northeast of Chang'an City, the south end is connected with Chang'an City, surrounded by tall and majestic city walls, the northernmost side of Daming Palace, is the three city gates, the Lingxiao Gate on the left and right sides, the Yinhan Gate, and the Xuanwu Gate in the middle of the two gates.

And in the north of the three city gates, it is a defensive sandwich city, which is equivalent to the urn city, but there is only one gate on the north wall of the sandwich city, called the heavy Xuanmen, the heavy Xuanmen is then north, it does not belong to the Daming Palace, there is no palace and city wall, it is the flying dragon stable that is close to the heavy Xuanmen, and the flying dragon stable is further north, it is the station of the Longwu Forbidden Army and the Yulin Forbidden Army.

The garrison of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army is in the Flying Dragon Stable and the Sandwich City, and the four gates of the Sandwich City are garrisoned by the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

At this moment, Yang Xuan and Pei Yuxing rushed to Jiacheng and took out the edict, announcing that from now on, the two of them would be the left and right envoys of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and all the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army would obey their orders.

The six thousand flying dragon forbidden army blew up at once, Bai Xin and Yang Nan were promoted by Xiao Quai's illness before, and they had been brought with them for more than two years, with strong ability and high prestige, and everyone was extremely convinced.

The two who are here now are obviously embroidered pillows, they don't look like soldiers, every Wyvern Forbidden Army like them can fight twenty of them one by one, but they want to be their commanders, so how can these people be convinced!

What's more, Yang Xuan and Pei Yu were also extremely arrogant, in order to establish their prestige, in order to make these Flying Dragon Forbidden Army afraid, the two of them also threatened very proudly: "...... Bai Xin and Yang Nan have been locked up by His Majesty's edict for fornicating with the secret spies of Tiance Mansion!

You guys give me a little care, don't be caught by us, if you find that there are still people who are secretly secreting the secret spies of the Tiance Mansion, or who have a heart to the Tiance Mansion and say good things about the Tiance Mansion, they will all be arrested, the head will be killed, the imprisonment will be imprisoned, and the board will be beaten! ”

The Flying Dragon Forbidden Military Captain named Xu Bao protested loudly: "Fart, when did General Bai and General Yang have fornicated with the secret spies of Tiance Mansion?" It is clear that you have framed him. We want to see General Gao (Gao Lishi), we want to see Your Majesty, and we want to avenge General Bai and General Yang! ”

Yang Xuan and Pei Yu were happy, and said in their hearts that they were just trying to beat someone Liwei, so they sent it to us with their eyes, they were so happy.

Yang Xuan said murderously: "Bai Xin and Yang Nan were locked up by His Majesty's personal edict, you dare to say that Your Majesty farted, you are disrespectful, come on, drag him down, and beat him with sixty military sticks!" ”

More than a dozen servants were also happy, they were always poked in the back when they went out these days, and they had nowhere to steam their anger, so they dragged Xu Bao out and pressed him to the ground to beat.

As the emperor's most personal guard, the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army has beaten other Longwu Forbidden Army and Yulin Army in Chang'an City, and it is the only forbidden army that has been on the battlefield several times, and it has always been full of honor.

Pei Yu held the holy decree high with one hand, and with the other, he pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, and cut off a corner of the handsome case, and said with the same murderous aura: "Quiet, don't move!" Are you rebelling? Do you think I can't kill you? ”

The six thousand flying dragon forbidden army really didn't dare to move, Pei Yu and Yang Xuan glanced at each other, very proud, and the two began to point their fingers one by one: "This, this...... And this, these people who just started pulling, shouting the most fiercely, all pulled out, forty military sticks each, give me a heavy beating, see if you dare to be dishonest! ”

"If you don't beat the uncomfortable cheap bones, if you commit it again in our hands, what will you get straight if you are killed? But let you know that this general has always been strict in governing the army, and meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished......"

When Yang Xuan and Pei Yu beat people and boasted proudly about their way of governing the army, Xiao Qubing had galloped all the way to Hedong County, and after crossing Hedong, he entered the boundary of Gyeonggi Province.

At this time, I heard an eagle chirping, Xiao Quzhi looked up, and a Hai Dongqing with black feathers swooped down towards him, Xiao Quying hurriedly grabbed the war horse, and Hai Dongqing stood on his shoulder.

"Well, let's see what good news Xiao Hei has brought me." Xiao Quzhi fed Xiao Hei a venison weighing half a catty, took out the information from the bamboo tube on the eagle's leg, and then laughed: "Li Longji, Li Longji, you have a pig teammate like Yang Guozhong, how can you play with me!" ”

…… At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Qubing crossed the Yellow River Iron Bridge in Pujindu, Puzhou, and came to Gyeonggi Province, and at about nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Qubing found Guo Ziyi's vanguard army in Fengyi County with the help of Xiao Hei.

Then he tied three war horses in the distance, and quietly came to Guo Ziyi's Chinese army tent like a ghost, and met Guo Ziyi. (To be continued.) )
