From the perspective of ordinary people, Yang Zhi can be called a person with no ambitions. The famous ministers and powerful generals who have gone down in history are not very interested. In just after less than half a month of welcoming action, ten lieutenants can be accepted as henchmen, Yang Zhi has not yet reached this point, but it is always beneficial to sow the seeds of great potential in the army.

After the emperor and the crown prince returned to Changchang, the mission of the soldiers was completed. In fact, as long as the situation did not get out of control, it would be impossible for Yang Zhi to control this elite forbidden army of 20,000 people for a long time. His previous thoughts were the same as those of Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan, as long as he firmly grasped the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he would have the initiative to decide the direction of the long situation. But after listening to Wang Ergou's message from Wu Qusan, an idea hidden deep in his heart that has not been revealed to anyone has been strongly verified. If you hold on to these 20,000 soldiers, you will bring unimaginable trouble to yourself.

Yang Zhi was both excited and very angry. Now he just wants to get rid of the hot potato in his hand as soon as possible, go back to rest quietly for a few days, and sort out the complicated thoughts in his mind clearly.

Several lieutenants saw that Yang Zhi suddenly looked crazy, and they all looked at each other in confusion. For ordinary peasant families, the luck of falling from the sky and smashing them on their heads is almost comparable to winning a million prizes by buying a lottery ticket. () A junior officer at the rank of lieutenant would not normally be able to carry such a large sum of money with him. Liu Dang is very clever, he is the "business representative" appointed by Yang Zhi to contact the Qin family about the depository matter, and he has really made a lot of money in the past ten days. Since the God of Wealth had spoken, he didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly took out five hundred taels of votes and stuffed them into Wang Ergou's hands.

Wang Ergou was so frightened that he trembled, he didn't know what medicine the general in front of him had taken wrong, and he didn't dare to collect or return the ticket. Fearing that he was daydreaming, he secretly stuffed his dirty fingers into his mouth and bit them.

Yang Zhi saw it in his eyes, kicked it and scolded with a smile: "Okay, it's over!" Brother Ergou, I can tell you that you are definitely not dreaming, collect the silver ticket and get out of here! ”

Wang Ergou didn't care about the rain, snow and mud, and lay on the ground and knocked his head for a while, and then crawled away. Yang Zhiwan smiled and ordered: "Pass the order: immediately line up the army and return to the city!" ”

Liu Dang asked, "General Yu, does that villain still need to go to the Qin clan to ask for silver?" ”

"What do you say? Do you have a grudge against money? ”

According to the military system of Great Xia, the general who commanded the army went out to fight, and he was not allowed to lead troops into Beijing unless he was ordered, and he was not allowed to return to his home until he had paid the order. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was seriously ill and the situation was delicate, Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan were willing to bear it together, otherwise it would be impossible for Yang Zhi to delay for a few days. Now I am happy to be right, so as not to leave behind the aftermath of being criticized and defended.

When the sick emperor returned to Beijing, the palace was busy and chaotic. Wei Su and the prince had too much to say, and when they greeted Yang Zhi on the outskirts of the city, they only greeted Yang Zhi for a few words, and they had no time to care. Of course, he knew very well that Yang Zhi had the stakes of 20,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and when he had a little time after welcoming him into the palace, he discussed with the prince how to urge Yang Zhi to pay the decree as soon as possible, so as to let go of a piece of heart. I didn't want the two of them to come up with a countermeasure, so Yang Zhi took the initiative to enter the palace, and returned to Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, who was still the prince of the prison country, and generously asked a deputy envoy of the Privy Council to be the supervisor, and went to the palace of Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, to return the military talisman.

Yang Zhi's sudden conformity made Wei Su feel unbelievable. However, the prince, who had not yet completely breathed, felt unprecedentedly good, thinking of the vivid changes in Yang Zhi's emotions before and after his visit, and naturally came to the conclusion that Yang Zhi was "a handsome man who knows the times". (〕

Such an optimistic reason is far from convincing Wei Su, but after thinking about it, it is not a bad thing for Yang Zhi to honestly hand over the military power at this juncture, even if he secretly colludes with Wang Yunong, Xu Wenhan and other important ministers, I am afraid it will be difficult to make any substantive changes in the overall situation.

In fact, Yang Zhi did not communicate with anyone, nor did he intend to explain it to anyone. He knew very well that if he couldn't hold his breath, he would do the prince a great favor by startling the snake. Yang Zhi is deeply glad that from this moment on, he is no longer an actor in this big scene, but has become an audience in the audience.

After Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan accompanied the saint into the palace, they had been staying in front of the emperor's sickbed and were sad, and they were numb for a while, and they had not yet made up their minds what to do next. Hearing that Yang Zhi followed up with the palace to pay the decree, the two were shocked. What is the difference between Yang Zhi doing that and taking the initiative to hand over the blade before the fight? The stinky boy obviously promised to be good, why did he change so quickly?

Wang Yunong didn't care about paying attention to what "the monarch lost his manners", and what could not be raised at all times, so he hurriedly walked out of the emperor's bedroom, and took three steps and two steps to block Yang Zhi and the deputy envoy of the Taiwei who went to supervise at the gate of the palace. (〕

He was already old, and he was out of breath in this hurry, and the old face pale pulled Yang Zhi aside, and said in a deep voice: "Feihuhou, there is a way to make a wrong step, and you will lose all the games!" You can know when you will pay the decree, and when it will become empty-handed into the white blade! General Zhou is still sick in bed and can't be a director, so it is reasonable for you to delay the return of the talisman for a few days. The old man solemnly reminds you, but you must think carefully! ”

Yang Zhi said resolutely: "Old man, relax!" I know what I'm doing, so please don't say more. ”

Wang Yunong looked at his back as he walked away, was stunned for a moment, and sighed hatefully: "The battle is changing, and the erection is not enough to plan!" How could the old man be gullible in believing such a rat two? If the emperor dies without turning a blind eye, the old man will only give up his life to be a monarch and minister! ”

Yang Zhi arrived at the Zhou Mansion as if it was official business, and he didn't even look at Zhou Ting, who was "still sick in bed and couldn't be a director", and returned the talisman in front of the deputy envoy of the Tai Lieutenant. If Yang Zhi is not bad, Zhou Ting has played the dual role of actor and audience from the beginning.

What prompted Yang Zhi to suddenly make a 180-degree turn was the mysterious person who did not hesitate to kill and set fire to threaten Wang Ergou to give him a message: Wu Qusan.

Yang Zhi is thoughtful and has an amazing memory.

When I first heard Wu Qusan's name, I quickly searched in my mind, and I was absolutely sure that I had never known such a person. After thinking about it for a while, I woke up suddenly, Wu Qusan (five to three) is to stay two (Liu Er)!

When Yang Zhi rushed back to Beijing from Penglai, he was separated from Liu Erbing and solemnly explained to him: after sending a letter to Linglong to ~ Alum Island, he immediately turned back and went to the hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty to search for the emperor's traces. As long as the emperor is found, whether he is dead or alive, he must be reported to know as soon as possible. If the emperor is safe, he will immediately rush to Chang'an to rendezvous. But since Penglai broke up, Liu Er has been like a mud cow into the sea without news, which once made Yang Zhi quite anxious and confused.

The real boss of the Seven Joys is said to be a woman who is called Mrs. Jin, and she has only heard her name and has not seen her so far. Liu Er, regardless of experience, scheming or martial arts, is one of Mr. Yi and Liuxi and others, and is the leader of this gang. Behind Liu Ertuo's Wang Ergou's words, there is too much important information that is useful to Yang Zhi.

Liu Er was familiar with the extraordinary relationship between Yang Zhi and the Qin family, why would he abandon the most powerful intelligence department in the world and coerce an honest villager to give Yang Zhi a message? Why did you wait until the outskirts of the Great Wall to feed back the news to Yang Zhi in this special way?

Yang Zhi deduced three conclusions from Liu Er's words to him: First, Liu Er either did not trust the Qin family, or it was inconvenient to use the Qin family's intelligence system. Second, from the breakup in Shandong to Liu Er's appearance in the suburbs of the Great Wall, it has been more than a month, and there has been no news during this period. Either Liu Er was concerned about the importance of the matter and only wanted to inform Yang Zhi alone, or there were more authoritarian figures than Yang Zhi to prevent him from leaking the news to anyone. Third, since Liu Er claimed that Yang Zhi's explanation to him had been done, then the person next to him who was more authoritative than Yang Zhi could only be the emperor! That is to say, the dying emperor that Yang Zhi saw with his own eyes in the dragon outside Tongguan City was not an emperor at all!

Once Yang Zhi figured out the joints, he was excited that the emperor might indeed be unwell on the way to the class, and it was definitely not as serious as he imagined. I was angry that the emperor would be transferred under the noses of the heavily guarded 20,000 escort soldiers, if it wasn't for the emperor's intention to set up a situation, if there was no cooperation from the powerful forces behind the scenes, it would be impossible! The so-called holy car has been attacked several times, and it must be a smokescreen specially for the purpose of adjusting the bag! The stakes are very high, this powerful force behind the scenes, except for Qin Gong, who is not known to be ill, who else can be? ……***！

The familiar words naturally came out of Yang Zhi's mind: The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and the slingshot is underneath. People all over the world have been deceived by the two old foxes of the emperor and the Duke of Qin! Yang Zhi, Wang Yunong, Xu Wenhan, Geng Chao and others were deceived and worked hard to perform without harm, and Zhao Qi's true performance will win high. But it is conceivable that the prince, the queen, Wei Su, Zhao Tianyang, Shen Chong and others, according to the emperor's yin temperament, how could they spare them?

The old man Yang Yan and his two daughters-in-law, Shen Yu and Zhao Yan, all noticed that Yang Zhi was preoccupied and secretive after returning to Beijing from Shandong. Yang Zhila entered the palace for a banquet on the 29th of the month, and then the news came that he was greeted by the leading soldiers, and he didn't even bring a word to his family, so tired that the three of them were full of heart for him. The first thing the old man did when he saw Yang Zhi enter the door was to pull his son to the ancestral tablet to offer incense and bow down.

The two wives are another story. Shen Yu was worried about whether his brother Shen Chong was safe, while Zhao Yan was worried about the emperor's father's illness. Yang Zhiyi "told the truth" one by one, but only explained with added meaning: "Yu'er, the emperor is seriously ill, and Brother Shen is leading the escort soldiers and horses to temporarily stationed outside Tongguan City, and his responsibilities are very important. You must tell your father-in-law on my behalf, and you must be cautious during this time, and do not disturb me if you have nothing to do. ”

Zhao Yan snorted: "Husband,...... I'm really worried about my father's dragon body, can you accompany me into the palace to visit? ”

The emperor has always been extremely fond of this only daughter, Yang Zhi knew that their father was connected, and there was no good reason to persuade Zhao Yan not to go, so he just coped casually: "Yan'er, you and I are not officially married, and now that you have a body again, there are many people in the palace, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to go like this, right?" ”

Zhao Yan said sadly: "I also know that my husband is taking care of my face, and I can't care about it now." I'd rather make the world laugh at me, or I can bear the name of unfilial piety and regret it for the rest of my life! ”

At this time, the Hou Qunchen all knew that the emperor was seriously ill, and if Zhao Yan did not visit, it was indeed unreasonable. Let her go into the palace with a big belly and show it to the queen and the prince, it's okay!

Yang Zhi was very apologetic in his heart, and pretended to be extremely tired and said, "Then ask Yu'er to accompany you, I won't go." I'm really tired during this time, so I'll rest for a few days, and then I'll accompany you into the palace to ask the emperor and Concubine Mei. (Read!) 〕
