So there is news of the emperor!

Yang Zhi agreed with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun that the person who could say the incision and show the mark at the same time was the hardcore subordinate of the Qin family who could be absolutely trusted, and no fourth person knew about it.

In other words, the news brought by Xiaoya is the most real, accurate, and timely. Yang Zhi once again experienced the power of the Qin intelligence system: first, the emperor's holy car had arrived on the outskirts of Luoyang on December 27, which was also yesterday evening, but the vanguard troops accompanying the escort had already entered the city first.

Second, the Emperor's Sacred Driver left Zhongzhou for Luoyang on December 22, and despite the wind and snow, the accompanying brigade marched very quickly. On the nights of 24, 25 and 26 December, they were attacked by three groups of unknown and unidentified dead soldiers. The three attacks were repelled by the cavalry general Shen Zheng, but the people who came were not afraid of death, and none of them survived.

Third, the emperor's life is still alive, but it is true that he is seriously ill, and he has reached the point where his face is crooked and he can't speak, and there is a possibility that he will leave at any time.

The Hou Mansion had many eyes and ears, and after speaking concisely and in a low voice all the way, he didn't say much. Yang Zhi knew that he was just the one who passed the word, so he didn't ask any more. The master and servant went to the treasury to take a turn, and Yang Zhi ordered the glorious task of picking up things and rewarding the guards and subordinates to the chief servant Ah Fu, and sent the little servant away under this cover.

In fact, as soon as Xiaowu's words fell, Yang's heart surged with an unprecedented mania. Standing alone in the cold wind, sighing for a long time, I was embarrassed.

According to the medical common sense of his previous life, the emperor's current physical condition is a typical stroke hemiplegic symptom. For many years, the emperor was a "workaholic" who had no time in his head. He is getting old and fat, and he does not pay attention to maintenance and diet on weekdays, and he seems to be strong on the outside, but he has already planted a serious hidden danger of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Even if there is no attempt by the crown prince to usurp this matter, with the medical level of this era, the possibility of the emperor's recovery is almost zero!

Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there must be a steamed bun in the end. I can't imagine that the emperor is a hero, but now he has fallen into such a field! Not to mention how many days the emperor has to live, in his half-dead state, it is extremely difficult for him to take care of himself in his daily life, let alone monopolize power and make decisions as before.

An emperor who looks like a wasted man is the best puppet for the crown prince. The current situation is extremely beneficial to the Prince Group! Isn't it time for me to do something?

Seeing that night is falling, it has come = dinner time, the red lanterns hanging high everywhere are gradually lit, and the magnificent Hou Mansion is filled with a strong celebration of the New Year. Yang Zhi's mind was full of news from the emperor, and he was not in a hurry to analyze and make a decision at this time, so he had dinner with the old man and the two ladies casually. He was not a drinker, but today he seemed to be a little drunk, and as soon as he sat down, he casually asked several guards standing next to him to drink at the same table.

The atmosphere of the Flying Tiger Marquis's mansion, the Yang father and son treat people well and reward them richly, and the three thousand internal guards all know it, and they all regard it as a rare place to be on duty in the Yang Mansion. Theoretically, Yang Zhi has no right to command the guards of the Imperial Guard's Mansion in the Inner Court, but no one has ever dared to disobey his words in the slightest, and he doesn't want to meet an unlucky guy who doesn't know each other today.

One of the guards actually refused politely: "Qi Hou Ye, the villain is not good at drinking, so I have to thank Hou Ye for lifting me, and I hope you can forgive and be compassionate." ”

Shen Yu lazily interjected and smiled: "Everyone knows that there are not many rules in the palace in my house, you are really boring!" If you don't know how to drink, you can sit down and eat together, will my father-in-law still use force to fill you? ”

The rest of the guards all looked embarrassed when they heard this, and one of them pulled the corner of the unlucky guy's clothes and said in a low circle: "You yourself are all lifting you, and now that the young lady has also spoken, why don't you hurry up and thank you and sit down?" ”

According to Yang Zhi's thoughts, all the previous planning and layout were on paper, and today it is finally time to reveal the treasure and see the real chapter. The so-called wrong step is a loss, he originally just wanted to find a random place to drink and pretend to be drunk, so that after calmly thinking about it, he would hide the countless pairs of eyes that stared at him, and then sent Chang San to act secretly.

There are few people who can be selected as the Ouchi guards, and there are few people who lack catties and two catties in their minds. The palace is the most filthy = > despicable dye vat in the world, no matter how ambitious anyone is to clean himself, he will practice a well-rounded and skillful entertainment ability. Yang Zhi said in his heart, he had no contempt and insult for a few guards, and according to his current status, it was really a great face to ask them to drink at the same table. Even if you are really not good at drinking, it is not a grievance to sit down and talk about coping.

The guard in front of him was about thirty years old, his expression was calm, his eyes were not flustered, and he was by no means a stupid bird who had never seen the world. If you are not told to be extra careful, how can you be so ignorant?

Yang Zhi was still hesitating when he saw that he didn't know about death, and couldn't help but think: Whether it is the queen and Wei Su, or the king of Ning and the king of Kang, the time to know the emperor's exact news may not be much later than himself. I don't care whose eyeliner you are, since you're blind and hit my muzzle, and you don't know how to get off the donkey at this time, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless.

Borrow your head to give your master a wake-up call, and see how deep their water is!

"No need." Yang Zhishen

"This brother is reluctant, why should he be reluctant? If you don't give me husband and wife, you can't give you face. You say don't you? ”

Everyone present didn't have time to come back to their senses for a while, but Zhao Yan, whose heart was like a mirror, immediately felt a chill in her eyes. She knows very well that although Yang Zhi is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is not an impulsive person, it seems that he is determined to kill people and demonstrate today!

Without waiting for Yang Zhi to open his mouth to urge, Zhao Yan took the initiative to get up and pull Shen Yu, helped Yang Yan up from left to right, and said quietly: "Father-in-law, Sister Yu'er, it's rare for my husband to be in full swing today, I'm afraid we will have a lot of inconvenience here, let's move to the inner hall to eat!" ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly: As soon as I started to kill, she knew to make room for me, and it is really rare to see such an example of a husband singing with a wife. Zhao Yan's mind can be called resolute, and her reaction is really quick! If she was born as a man, who would dare to say that she is not a popular candidate for the throne? In addition to being weak and not good at martial arts, his mind and insight are not necessarily much inferior to Linglong.

"The princess is right. Dad, Yu'er, you can follow the princess to avoid it first. ”

Yang Yan and Shen Yuwu: A little ignorant, they and a few guards never dreamed that Yang Zhi would hold back his strength and want someone's life just because he said something wrong.

However, at this time, even a pig saw that the situation was not good, and everyone realized that Yang Zhi was deliberately mad.

Shen Yu persuaded worriedly: "Xianggong, for the New Year, don't go too far!" ”

The guard never expected that the Flying Tiger Marquis would have been happy to have a family banquet because of him, and he was defeated and defeated. Seeing that Yang Zhi's face was gloomy, the princess said to the old man and the young lady and left, and her expression suddenly became a little flustered. The company commander suddenly pleaded guilty: "Master Hou, the villain should die!" The villain has no intention of belittling you and the young lady, and I implore you to be magnanimous and not to be as knowledgeable as the villain. ”

"What? Do you mean this from the bottom of your heart? ”

"This ...... Truly sincere! Hou Ye Mingjian. ”

"That's good." Yang Zhi smiled sadly: "I don't know if you have any tendons that are not in the right way, even you yourself said that you deserve to die, I have to fulfill you." If the head is not used to drink and eat, then what is it to do on the neck? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hands and feet were cold and cold to their hearts and lungs, and this was like waking up from a dream: Yang Zhi was determined to take this person's life!

Everyone's faces changed in an instant, and the guard knelt on the ground with weak legs, kowtowing again and again to ask for mercy.

Yang Zhi got up and walked slowly to a few people, unmoved: "This benevolent brother, I tell you frankly, your luck is really bad. You might as well report your dreams to your master tonight, and say that you died too stupid. What do you think? Are you doing it yourself? Or do you want me to get my hands dirty? ”

The guard jumped up and retreated like a frightened rabbit, drawing his sword and shouting, "Yang Zhi! I'm just acting on orders as part of my duties, and I haven't touched the people of the Hou Mansion in the slightest, so what right do you have to kill one of my internal guards? You rely on the royal gold medal in your hand, and you can see everything high, but it is difficult to kill the innocent! Don't push people too hard! ”

In fact, he said this because he was a thief, which is tantamount to admitting himself. But which of the guards on duty in the Yang Mansion is not like this? The rest of the guards turned pale when they heard this.

Just when everyone was stunned for a moment, Yang Zhi suddenly pulled out a nearby guard and pounced ghostly! I saw the shadow of the knife flickering, and I heard a crisp sound. A dark red line of blood bloomed from the guard's neck, and he fell silently in disbelief.

Yang Zhi is famous for his fierce murder, but the guards of the Great Inner have a deep feeling for his easy-going and pleasing temper, and they have never seen him so ruthless and resolute. The rest of the people were so frightened that their faces turned green, and they were as cold as cicadas, and they didn't know what the plague god would do with him next.

Yang Zhi smiled coldly: "You go to the account room to pay 6,000 taels of silver to compensate the family of the deceased, and by the way, each person pays 200 taels to suppress your shock." Send the body back to the Imperial Guard Mansion to Zhao Tianyang now, and report the situation to him truthfully. ”

"If you have a heart for goodness, you will not be rewarded for your kindness. If you do evil without intention, you will not be punished for evil. There are people of all sizes in my house, and I am not interested in checking them one by one. If you really just stick to your duty and focus on finding out and delivering the news, I won't be embarrassed for you. If someone dares to have any crooked thoughts, I never pay attention to whose origin is when I kill people, and I don't have to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. The black sky is black killing, and the day is killing in vain! Do you understand everything? ”

“…… Got it. ”

"Get out! - Ah~v, ordered to go down and set up a banquet in the study. Immediately send someone to invite Xu Xiangye and Qin Gongzi to come over for a drink! ”

Yang Zhi's arrogant behavior made a big fuss and smeared the New Year's celebration of the huge Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion with a heavy smell of blood. The Hou Mansion was originally in awe of him, and in the past, it was more about "respect", but since this moment, it has been replaced by "fear" that goes deep into the bone marrow. Yang Zhi walked into the study with a gloomy face, and lay down on the warm couch, waiting for the arrival of Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun.

The chicken has been killed, and the monkey will respond? Will Zhao Tianyang come to the door? What would he say?

In Chang'an tonight, I don't know how many people will be destined to be sleepless!
