"But what are we going to do? This palace gate assassination Your Majesty will definitely not let us go, we have touched Your Majesty's bottom line. Yu Wenhua, who was kneeling on the side, and his face all changed. Now he lives in one of the seven counties of Liaodong, and he is also the general of Zuotun Wei Zuo Tunwei, and he is the eldest son of Yuwenshu, so it can be said that the future Yuwen valve will be inherited by him.

In the past two years, since getting a serious official position, Yu Wenhua and this former Chang'an light and thin son have also begun to make some changes, preparing for the future inheritance of Yu Wenlang. After entering the Eastern Capital, Yuwen and all the plans... and action, Yu Culture & are direct participants. He knew very well how serious the assassination of the palace gate was, and it was a helpless move to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. But now the development of things is completely beyond their expectations, Chen Kefu has nothing to do, so the next thing to hurt is himself.

Seeing the eldest son who had high hopes behaving like this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yu Wenshu's eyes. Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Yuwen Shu said in a deep voice, "Anyway, we have already done the matter." The only way now is to completely take down Chen Kefu, so that His Majesty can temporarily let us go. ”

Yu Wenhua and suspicious Huò said, "But now that Chen Kefu is in the limelight, His Majesty is very fond of him, how can we bring him down in a short time?" We're finished, we're finished. As he spoke, he was like a defeated rooster, and you hung your head, covered your face with your hands, and sighed with anxiety and fear. He knew Yang Guang's methods, and he and his second brother Zhihe were demoted to slaves by Yang Guang because they took goods outside the Saiwai, and the other subordinates who participated in this matter were all beheaded and exiled.

The study was quiet for a while, and everyone's hearts were extremely heavy, and everyone knew that this matter was only one night at most. By tomorrow, nothing will be undone.

Pei Yun rubbed the sun and frowned a little anxiously, he didn't expect that the Yuwen family would be so sure of a killer blow, and he was actually dodged by Chen Kefu, and he couldn't help but be extremely disappointed in his heart. However, although this operation was the hand of the people in the Yuwen Valve, it was also a part of their Pei Valve when planning, and even in the end, those guards were able to successfully deploy outside the East City, and there was also the result of their Pei family's efforts.

"Slam!"

Pei Yun slammed his body on the small couch and stood up, and said with a calm face, "With Chen Ke's resurrection of the current Holy Grace, if you want to bring him down, ordinary means will not work. You must master Chen Kefu's deadly things in order to kill with one blow. Xu Guogong and General Yuwen, do you have such a thing in your hands? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, ......yes, Do you know the gold, silver and copper coins that are circulating everywhere in the market today? These most valuable and sought-after currencies, according to the information I have obtained, are all flowing from Liaodong. Moreover, I have a small amount of evidence that the minting houses where a large number of gold, silver and copper coins were minted were in Liaodong, and in the counties of Beisha and Jian'an. Sī coinage is a capital offense, and we dedicate the evidence in our hands to His Majesty, which is enough to make him a pawn. Yu Wenhua stood up with some joy and said movingly.

Not long after he entered Liaodong, he discovered the matter of this sī minting of gold, silver and copper coins in Liaodong. In line with the idea of wanting to share a share of the money bought and sold, he sent many henchmen to do everything possible to inquire about the matter of the money foundry, but unfortunately the money shop was very concerned by Chen Kefu and set it up in a hidden military camp castle in Beisha County, and it was even guarded by heavy soldiers, and ordinary people could not find it at all. It took him more than half a year to enter Liaodong, and he finally found a little clue.

Yu Wenshu shook his head, "This matter is said to be big, and it is said to be small, and it is small." If an ordinary official commits such a crime, there is only the result of beheading. However, Chen Kefu is now the number one celebrity in front of His Majesty, and he is also the border commander who holds soldiers and horses from fifteen counties and has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. And now His Majesty is planning with all his heart... In the case of the Eastern Turks, Chen Kefu was not responsible for this matter. If we report it, the old man is sure that His Majesty will only blame Chen Kefu for a few words in the end, and at most confiscate the money minting shop, and then punish Dai Lu and the like, which will not have any effect on our purpose. ”

"The major general has lived in Liaodong for nearly a year, but do you know some other situations about Chen Kefu? It's best to have something to do with the conspiracy and rebellion, and the heart of disobedience? Pei Yun turned his head and looked at Yu Wenhua and Dao with some waiting.

Pei Yun has been a doctor for almost ten years in the past, and he is an official who specializes in fabricating charges for Yang Guangluo. Pei Yun has a very clear understanding of how to bring down Chen Kefu, Chen Kefu's status and power, and ordinary laws can't move him at all. Any kind of corruption and redemption can't move him at all, even if it is murder and arson, it will not have much impact on Chen Kefu. ,

To deal with Chen Kefu, there is only one thing that can make Yang Guang take action, and that is to have something to do with him and rebellion. He knew that Yang Guang was very interested in Chen Kefu to establish the Liaodong Army single-handedly, and to conquer Liaodong,

Mur Wei, who is still sitting at the border, is actually already a little worried about precautions. If it weren't for the stability of Liaodong and the current plot against the Eastern Turks..., Emperor Yang Guang would have transferred Chen Kefu back to the court and split his Liaodong army.

Yu Wenshu pondered for a while, but did not smile, "I do know one thing, Chen Kefu and the Khitan in the tribe of the Yao Yuan clan young patriarch Abao Cave, and a Khitan young patriarch The three of them became different brothers. Later, he married the precious daughter of the Adina clan of the Yaoran clan as a concubine, and. He also married the pearl of the palm of the great patriarch of the Mòhé Sumoshui tribe. And in this way,

Forming an alliance with the Khitan and Mòhé, the Liao army conscripted many soldiers and horses of the two tribes in several major wars. In the old man's opinion, Chen Kefu is colluding with foreign fans, making an alliance, ignoring the imperial court and disregarding the national law and discipline. Pei Yun also smiled, "Speaking of which, I also know a little bit about it." According to my intelligence, Chen Kefu also had an alliance with Silla and had an affair with Princess Silla. Moreover, the matter of the Khitan King canonized by His Majesty not long ago was also planned by Chen Kefu. Even the Khitan Dahe clan was attached to our dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of people were all moved into Liaodong by Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu not only had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the surface in Liaodong, but also made friends with various foreign tribes under the banner of the imperial court, established alliances, and recruited foreign soldiers at will. …，

"Sī minting coins and sī forming alliances with foreign fans are the things that the border generals are most afraid of by His Majesty. It's not deadly, but it's useful, and if we can find some more real material, then we can do great things. ..., another humane among the Pei valves.

"I still remember something. ..., Yu culture and the road of Xing.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yu Wenhua and some proudly said, "After the Battle of Chen Kefu Liaohe, he annihilated the Goguryeo coalition army and pacified the entire territory of Goguryeo one after another. At that time, the good news he sent back claimed to have won millions of stones of grain and countless equipment. However, when I entered Liaodong and established a domestic county, I only found more than 200,000 stone of grain in the warehouse, and the situation of the other six counties in Liaodong was similar, most of them were more than 100,000 stone of grain, and the most grain in Liaoyang City was only 30 stone of grain. The total number of grains added up is less than two million stones, but according to the speculation of the subordinates, there are at least about five million stones of grain in Liaodong. It can be seen from this that Chen Kefu sī hid a large amount of grain. …，

"Not only food, but also a large number of craftsmen in the Liaodong Army, among which there are a large number of ordnance craftsmen. According to the information I have received, since the withdrawal of His Majesty's army from Liaodong, Chen Kefu has not asked these craftsmen to stop making weapons and armor, and until now, a large number of instruments are still being produced every day.

For more than a year, Liaodong has basically been peaceful, but Chen Kefu has been building a large number of equipment, isn't this preparing for rebellion? Pei Yun also nodded, "I was recently transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I also found some problems.

As far as we know, although Liaodong now has a population of more than 2 million, Shandong has countless grain ships that sail to Liaodong every day, and there will be no shortage of grain at all. Combined with what the major general said, Chen Kefu has been hoarding grain and grass to build military equipment. As long as we produce some definite evidence to prove that these things are true, Your Majesty will not miss this matter.

Pei Kuan, the Taishou of Wugu County in Liaodong, also stood up, "Hoarding grain and grass equipment, this is indeed a suspicion of rebellion, but if we can add the evidence of recruiting troops and horses, then Chen Kefu will definitely not be able to turn over." According to the lower officials, Chen Kefu did not seem to have the slightest objection to the imperial court sending officials to take over Liaodong. However, in the past year in Liaodong, Xia Guan found that Chen Kefu was extremely cunning, and he had already arranged a first move before we entered Liao. As soon as he pacified Liaodong, he killed all the upper-class nobles and wealthy families in Liaodong, and the remaining civilians were scattered and relocated.

And after the relocation, according to ten households and one first, ten first-class and one guarantee, and ten guarantees and one mile, a joint sitting system was set up. Jiazheng, Baozheng, and Lizheng were all appointed by Chen Kefu before we entered Liao. And each group of 10 township soldiers and a team of 50 township soldiers were retained. "These township soldiers usually maintain local law and order, but they also carry out armed training, which is no less intense than the training intensity of the government soldiers, or even stronger than the training of the government soldiers. All the township soldiers and team leaders were all veterans of the Liaodong Army. Moreover, these village soldiers are fully armored and armed, and there are plenty of horses, so they are completely a hidden soldier and horse. There are seven or eight thousand township soldiers in the entire territory of Liaodong, and in addition to the standing township soldiers, there are also militia regiments that only carry out assembly training during the agricultural slack period, although the human regiments are not always equipped and the equipment is not sufficient, but the number is even greater, and there is a regiment of 300 people in each mile, and as long as it is assembled at the critical time, at least 30,000 to 50,000 horses can be assembled. …，,

Pei Yun squinted his eyes and smiled with a smile on his face, these township soldiers and militia groups, in fact, there are serious bandits in various parts of the Central Plains. However, it is only funded and built by local consignees, and there is no such a complete system, and there will be insufficient equipment, so it is not a big deal. But if it is put together with the previous hoarding of grain and grass equipment, it will definitely make Yang Guangyan associate with it, and it must be a bad association with Chen Kefu.

"Recruiting troops, hoarding grain and leather equipment, and arranging and placing low-level officials in various places in eastern Liaodong as early as possible, he is Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it. Okay, as long as we immediately sort out the materials of these incriminating evidence and prepare a copy, I believe that Chen Kefu will have a good show this time. ”

In the secret room, the two high-level officials of Pei Valve and Yuwen Valve all laughed in unison. They seem to have seen Chen Kefu shackled and thrown into prison, and there is no longer any possibility of turning over.

Princess Nanyang's concubine Ma Yu Wenshi got up and said, "I have another piece of information here, which I heard from Huang Ying, a general secretary of Menxia Province. He entered Liao several times before and after to preach the decree, and he also knew a little about the situation in Liaoji. The last time we had a cold noise, he once inadvertently mentioned that Chen Kefu also implemented a military rank system in the Liaodong Army. "Rank?" As soon as the two old foxes, Yu Wenshu and Pei Yun, heard this name, they immediately felt interested. With their keen perception, they are told that all things such as institutional titles always contain infinite meanings.

"It was made by Chen Kefu when he stayed in Liaodong before, but he was not appointed as the marshal of the march. It is said that Chen Kefu was short of soldiers and horses at that time, and according to His Majesty's order, he summoned a large number of people to fight in the army. He conscripted more than 60,000 people at one time, but the broken barracks were only 10,000, and the number of officers was seriously insufficient. He broke up the 10,000-odd barracks and organized them together with the more than 60,000 people.1 For the convenience of command, he set up a temporary military system, with divisions, regiments, and battalions at all levels, and added military ranks to those officers according to their temporary military positions at all levels. Yu Wenshi explained what he knew to the crowd.

Pei Yun said with some disappointment, "This is just a temporary thing, and later His Majesty granted him the marching marshal and asked him to form the marching marshal's mansion, hasn't he already changed the military system?" Those are all things that are on the battlefield, and it will not be useful to bring them up now. These His Majesty already knew, and it was useless to say it. ”

"No, Chen Kefu later abolished the temporary military system, but he did not cancel the military rank." Yu Wenshi shook his head and said, "I inquired, the rank is similar to that of the commander of the court, and each soldier must be awarded a military rank, from high to low, with one rank for each rank. Even from the military rank below the ninth rank, all have military ranks, even small soldiers. He's setting up an official position in disguise! As soon as the words "sī official position" came out, everyone looked at each other, and they even couldn't believe their ears. Generally, for an official of Chen Kefu's level, it is not a big deal to set up a few minor official positions. But Chen Kefu sī set up the most sensitive official positions in the army, and it was actually a complete set of official positions from generals to soldiers. This couldn't help but surprise everyone, even a little shocked.

Pei Yun and Yu Wenshu glanced at each other, and they both saw the moving expressions in each other's eyes. In the past, whether it was sī minting coins, hoarding food and equipment, or even the township soldiers and militias, these were either only vaguely known and had no real evidence. Either it's just something suspicious, and it's not directly linked to the rebellion. But this military rank, this sī set up a military position, but they caught Chen Kefu's fatal handle at once.

In all dynasties, the establishment of official positions was the crime of rebellion, especially the entire set of official positions in the army. If it was just such a thing, they were not sure that they would be able to bring down Chen Kefu, but if they added the previous sī minting coins, hoarding grain and grass equipment, setting up armor protection, township soldiers, militia systems, and even making alliances with foreign sī, all together, it would definitely be able to conclude Chen Kefu's conspiracy against the crime.

Yuwenshu dared to guarantee that as long as he handed over these materials and evidence to Yang Guang, even if Yang Guang relied heavily on Chen Kefu and asked him to help him pacify the Turks. The emperor will definitely attack Chen Kefu first, even if he doesn't kill Chen Kefu, at least he will be transferred back to the Central Plains and demoted to his official position. In any case, the current emperor's strategy of supporting the Li Chen alliance and suppressing Yu Wenlang and Pei Valve is bound to fail. ,

In this way, Yuwen and Pei, who are still the largest forces in the DPRK and China, will inevitably be able to gain precious time to plan the next step and maintain their current position.

Yuwen Shu got up and walked around the house twice, and then said loudly, "Okay, these are enough."

However, there is no basis for empty words, and the emperor cannot believe us just on the basis of these one-sided words. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment, first, Lord Pei Yun asked the old subordinates of Yushitai to play a role for His Majesty first, and impeached Chen Kefu for the establishment of military ranks. Second, we must obtain some evidence of Chen Kefu's other culpabilities as previously agreed upon in the shortest possible time. Third, through the Imperial History Tower, these things will be played to His Majesty one by one, and Chen Kefu will be impeached. When they have played the impeachment recital, we will hand over the evidence in our hands to Your Majesty. I believe that in a few days, Chen Kefu will be completely knocked into the abyss, and there will be no recovery. ”

Even if you want to bring down Chen Kefu, you have to use a complete set of orders. If they had told Emperor Yang Guang all of this from the beginning, they would have no evidence, but the emperor would think that they had bitten back in order to get rid of the crime of assassination. Only one impeachment after another, first pulling Chen Kefu into the water, and then collecting some evidence through the time in between, can it seem to be a matter of course.

"But what about the current palace gate assassination case? There's no way they're so easy to dodge? Yu Wenhua was still a little worried.

Pei Yun squinted his eyes and said coldly, "The necessary sacrifice, we are the most prepared, according to the original plan, the person who has been arranged will go out to confess and carry this matter down."

As long as we hold on until Chen Ke's comeback, it is impossible for the emperor to punish us severely. ”

Although he said a few words of necessary sacrifice, the people present were all the high-level of the two valves, and everyone understood that the price to be paid this time would be very heavy, and it might even hurt the vitality of the two valves. However, when they thought that they could cut Chen Kefu off the horse, and even pull the newly raised Li Valve into the water, everyone still felt that it was very worthwhile. The Li Chen alliance was crossed, and in a short period of time, the Great Sui Dynasty could no longer find an old valve upstart that could compete with Yuwen Valve and Pei Lang.
