After waiting for more than ten days in Xiaochang'an, Yang Hao finally waited for the emperor's conclusion on Meng Bochang's death, Meng Bochang died unexpectedly, and Yang Hao had nothing to do with it.

Yang Hao pretended to be overjoyed on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart, the four prefectures of Xia Sui are all small cities, the soil is thin and the land is poor, and the people are poor.

On the contrary, the four prefectures of Xia Sui are used as a buffer zone with the five towns of Shuofang, Dunfang, Hezhong, Suining, and Hedong, which is beneficial and harmless to Fengzhou.

Xiao Mingyue just left, Yang Hao's classmate and friend Yang Hongyang in the Thorn Horse Courtyard went to Xiao Chang'an, Yang Hongyang is already one of the core figures of the princeling party at the moment, he came to Xiao Chang'an to persuade Yang Hao to give up Hedong to Liu Wei, Yang Hao was a little caught off guard, so under the pretext of patrolling the camp and parade, Yang Hongyang was temporarily sent to the hotel to rest,

Take this time to carefully figure out the clue, although Yang Hongyang is young, but he is very old-fashioned, he personally rushed to Xiao Chang'an as a lobbyist, it must be approved by the above, Yang Hao has to deal with it carefully,

At the beginning of the hour, Yang Hongyang finished washing and looked for it, Yang Hao now lives in the original Baihua Palace, Yang Hongyang came here to save Li Jasmine's sisters, so they met and quipped: "I thought this place should be demolished, I didn't expect you to keep it, the dignified Saber General lives in the prostitution den to work, it is really a great wonder in ancient and modern times." ”

Yang Hao patted the thick walls of the Hundred Flowers Palace and the doors and windows made of high-quality wood: "I am reluctant to demolish such a good thing. ”

Yang Hongyang laughed, he didn't want to be entangled with Yang Hao in this matter, so he asked directly: "What I said early in the morning, what did you think about." ”

Yang Hao feigned surprise and said: "I really don't remember what you said." ”

Yang Hongyang pouted and said: "The bigger the official does, the more unhappy it is, remember that you have always been quick to talk when you were in the Thorn Horse Courtyard." Yang Hao smiled: "People always change, at that time, you, I still have a third brother, we are sworn brothers, and we are in the same breath, but now, do you still have my eldest brother in your eyes." ”

Yang Hongyang was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and arched his hand: "It's the little brother who is rude, please don't worry about the eldest brother." ”

Yang Hao waved his hand and said: "I don't want to care about the things in the number of rites, I ask you, Li Zaiyi is dead, no one in Yuanhe Society can take over Hedong, Hedong has become a borderless land, why can't I take it into my pocket, Changqing and Yuanhe have always been unable to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, you persuade me to give Hedong to Liu Wei, isn't it to grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of his own family, oh, I forgot to ask, do you not know that Liu Wei is a member of Changqing Society." ”

Yang Hongyang sneered and said: "Although the younger brother is only an eight-rank halberd, His Royal Highness the Prince Meng treats him with blue eyes, and he doesn't necessarily know much less than the eldest brother. ”

"Then I want to hear why you're doing this." Yang Hao easily cocked Erlang's legs,

Yang Hongyang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "The dispute between the four societies, Baoli and Yamato have fallen into the wind, plus the eunuch party fell into the ground, at this moment, if there is no special means, it is difficult to recover the defeat, the position of the prince is not guaranteed, and we are all dead without a place to be buried, although Liu Wei is in Changqing, but he is still loyal to the prince, he is the mainstay of Changqing Society, if he can be pulled over, not only like a tiger with wings, but also can destroy the pillars of the people, without Changqing, Yuan and internal constraints, the Yang Party and the eunuch party can not manipulate the prince to abolish the establishment, and the prince's position can be preserved. ”

Yang Hao rose angrily: "What is the reason, can't I assist the prince if I take Hedong." ”

Yang Hongyang accompanied Yang Hao with a smile and said: "The loyalty of the eldest brother, how dare the younger brother doubt it, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Yang Hongyang paused, lowered his head and thought for a long time, before he sighed faintly and said: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, the eldest brother can't make the decision." ”

Yang Hao was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Did you hear any rumors?" ”

Yang Hongyang asked rhetorically: "Big brother has many ears and eyes, don't you hear anything?" ”

Yang Hao shook his head speechlessly, Yang Hongyang gritted his teeth, and as if he had made up his mind, he said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Yingwang also has the heart of Longxiang Nine Heavens. Yang Hao was shocked, Li Yong, the king of Lu, has been unstable since he was established as the crown prince, the secret wrestling of various factions has not stopped, the gossip is flying all over the sky, Li Rong, King An, and Li Chengmei, the king of Chen, are all rumored to be popular candidates for the prince, in the eyes of many outsiders, Li Yan, the king of Ying, is willful and chivalrous, likes amusement, and has no political ambitions.

Yang Hao knows that it is his nature to be willful and chivalrous, and he likes amusement, but it is not all he has, Yingwang Li Yan is definitely a strongman with means and good power, he can quietly turn the Baoli Society, which has been run by King Guang for many years, into his Li Yan's, it is enough to prove his domineering and means, this kind of talk and laughter can destroy the strong enemy's temperament in ashes, and those who are not eloquent and strategic can not do it,

It's just that Yang Hao still doesn't believe that Li Yan will have the ambition to win the world after all, and he doesn't want to go on until the sheep is promoted.

Yang Hao coughed: "Liu Wei is capricious, I have made a covenant with him in black and white, he can still turn his face and deny it, you have to give Hedong to him, in case he turns his face and denies people, what will happen to you, this risk is too great, once you miss, how will you face Your Majesty, and how will Your Majesty treat His Royal Highness the Prince, I am really afraid that no one can save the Prince, I am afraid that no one can save the Prince, I hope you think twice about my heartfelt words." ”

Yang Hongyang threw a grateful glance, he nodded, and sighed silently: "Actually, how can the little brother not know that this is a dangerous move, but now we have no way out, so we can only give up our lives, alas, Yu Hong old thief mistake, Yu Hong old thief mistaken." Yang Hongyang hammered the table case fiercely, and his indignation was overflowing, Yu Hong is the prince and the prince, a contemporary Hongru, honest and upright, and has a very high reputation in Shilin, Li Yong is obedient to his words, because of his old-fashioned and pedantic, and his plans are often criticized by the young Zhuang faction around the prince such as Yang Hongyang,

It can be seen that the strategy of letting Hedong pull Liu Wei should be the idea of Yang Hongyang and other young Zhuang factions, since he has made up his mind to break the kettle, Yang Hao naturally can't say anything.

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, I have nothing to say, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Please tell the eldest brother, as long as he can do it, the younger brother will never give up." Yang Hongyang felt that he owed Yang Hao a great favor, and he was in a hurry to pay it off.

Yang Hao said: "When you see Liu Wei, please tell him that I have a common enmity with Dong Bacheng, if he is willing to help me avenge it, I will conclude an alliance with him, and when he goes south to take Hedong, he will not move, otherwise after he takes Hedong, he must give me the Zhenwu Army." ”

Yang Hongyang groaned: "Forgive the junior brother for saying bluntly, Hedong is a big land, and after Liu Wei's power is strong, it will be determined to be the harm of Fengzhou, and it would be better to keep Dong Bacheng in Hedong as a containment." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "You don't know, although this Liu Wei is ambitious but not good at commanding the army, he has no generals, even if such a person sits in Hedong, it is not harmful, but this Dong Bacheng, known as the famous general of Hedong, can fight habitually, I fought with him in Feng'an in the first year of Kaicheng, if it were not for Wu Shilang and General Tang Hu secretly helping each other, I am afraid that I would have been in a different place, this person is well versed in the art of war, and is indeed a rare tiger general in the world." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Hao asked Yang Hongyang: "Have you seen this Liu Wei, this person's mouth can say the living to death, and can also say the dead to life, a person with a straight intestine like Dong Bacheng can't stand his clever tongue, and he may be able to use it in a few words, that is the misfortune of my Fengzhou." ”

Yang Hongyang nodded and said: "The eldest brother is far-sighted, the younger brother admires, the younger brother will definitely force him to break with Dong Bacheng and pull out this thorn in the eye for the eldest brother." ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed, left the sheep to promote drinking, and sent someone to escort the sheep to Zhenwu Army early in the morning.

……

The east of the small Chang'an Baihua Palace is a grain depot that covers an extremely wide area, when You Lida occupies a place where he is king, the granary is always full of looted grain, You Lida is born in a poor family, he was hungry and scared since he was a child, so although there are hundreds of millions of family wealth, he still does not forget to store grain for disaster preparedness, since he was exterminated, this place has been empty,

Seeing that Yang Hao did not have the intention of returning to Feng'an, Zhang Bozhong set up the branch of the inner temple here, and his official room was placed in a granary.

After Meng Bochang was assassinated, Li Changlin, the commander of the Breaking Wave Battalion, suspected that Yang Hao was the murderer behind the scenes, and once absconded, Yang Hao ordered Zhang Bozhong to find Li Changlin's whereabouts, persuade him to turn back, and promised that he would not be held accountable for his past mistakes, Zhang Bozhong took a lot of effort to find out where Li Changlin was located, he sent several groups of people to persuade Li Changlin to come back, but they did not get a positive response from Li, just when he was very troubled about this, Li Changlin sent Wu Chenlu with a secret letter.

Zhang Bozhong asked Wu Chenlu bluntly: "When will General Li come back." ”

Wu Chenlu said: "Lian Yong personally came to the door to hire General Li as the assassin of Yinzhou and the defense envoy of Yinzhou. ”

Zhang Bozhong sneered: "One battalion in Fengzhou can sweep through the three prefectures of Xia Sui, what is there to do with that assassin and defense envoy, General Li has nothing else to say to you." ”

Wu Chenlu handed a secret message with both hands and said, "This is all the general has to say. ”

Zhang Bozhong took the secret letter, and saw that there was no signature on the envelope, so he asked, "Can I open it?" Wu Chenlu replied: "The general has not explained, please feel free to know the same lord." ”

Zhang Bozhong thought about it for a while, then opened the letter and read it, and after reading the letter, he asked Wu Chenlu: "Why do you want to hand over the letter to me, this letter has been handed over directly to the adult." Wu Chenlu said: "The general said, the day of mistaken belief in rumors, cast a big mistake, fortunately Tongzhi Lord in front of the adult for many good words, the general is inexhaustible, the general set this plan is not only to atone for meritorious service, but also to repay the deep friendship of the Tongzhi Lord." ”

Zhang Bozhong smiled and instructed his attendants: "Take General Wu down to rest." Wu Chenlu bowed and retreated, Zhang Bozhong read the letter twice, and then came to see Yang Hao in his arms.
