Chapter Forty-Six: Falling into the Well

Yang Guang was also a little hesitant, Yuwen Chengdu knew his loyalty to him, but he couldn't be sure if Yuwen Chengdu would betray his loyalty for the sake of his family, but it was indeed a death without proof, which was a bit difficult.

Yuwen Chengdu led 10,000 Xiaoguo as the internal guard, guarding the Jiangdu Palace, the duty is extremely important, such an important position, Yang Guang can't tolerate a little disloyalty, originally Dugu Sheng was the internal guard general, but because Dugu Sheng is the general of the Dugu clan, and the Dugu clan surrendered to Li Yuan, this made Yang Guang revoke Dugu Sheng's military power, and now, Yuwen Chengdu actually has something to do with Xiao Miao, which makes Yang Guang feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Li Zhongliang, the eunuch next to him, interjected: "Your Majesty, the doctor Zhang Kai has dealt with Xiao Miao, maybe he knows whether this letter is true or not." ”

Yang Guang also vaguely had an impression that Xiao Mian had suffered from a serious illness a few years ago, and Empress Xiao begged him to send the imperial doctor to Luo County, it seemed that Zhang Kai was going to go at that time, Li Zhongliang reminded Yang Guang, and Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Xuan Zhang Kai will meet you!" ”

After a while, Zhang Kai, the doctor, was led into the imperial study, and he stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty."

Yang Guang glanced at him, Zhang Kai was an active person who advocated returning to the capital, Yang Guang didn't like him very much, he said lightly: "Zhang Aiqing, have you ever treated Xiao Miao?" ”

Zhang Kai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that is the past of four years and five years of the great cause, and the minister can't remember it very clearly." ”

"Then do you still know Xiao Miao's handwriting?" Yang Guang continued to ask quietly.

"This ...... If you look back, maybe you still have an impression. ”

Yang Guang gave Li Zhongliang a look, Li Zhongliang handed him the letter, and Yuwen Chengdu also looked at him very nervously.

Zhang Kai took the letter and read it for a long time, frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a little familiar feeling, it may be Xiao Miao's handwriting, but the minister still can't remember it clearly, after all, it is very old, but the minister knows that Luo County has a tax and population report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs every year, and it should be in the library of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Luoyang, Your Majesty can send someone to the capital to check, and the truth will be known in a month at the latest." ”

Yang Guang pondered for a long time, and said to Yuwen Chengdu: "I don't want to wronged you, if you are really innocent, I will definitely return you to a clean house, but during the time of confirming the handwriting, you can rest and wait at home for the time being!" The internal guard will be temporarily commanded by your lieutenant general Hu Benlang and Yu Wenjing. ”

Yuwen Chengdu sighed in his heart, he knew Yang Guang too well, Yang Guang said that he didn't want to wronged him, but in fact, he already doubted himself, so he braided his military power, Yuwen Chengdu was helpless, so he had to bow down and thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Sima Dejiao secretly admired Liu Qing's clever strategy, and he could see the emperor's heart thoroughly, and he didn't need clear evidence, as long as he left a shadow of distrust in Yang Wu's heart, then their goal would be achieved.

There are two deputy generals of Yuwen Chengdu, one is Dugu Kaiyuan, this person is Yuwen Chengdu's henchman and Dugu Sheng's nephew, Yang Guang will definitely not use him, and the other person is Yuwen Jing, a timid and incompetent person, but Yang Guang trusts him and will definitely use him.

Sima Dejiao is simply a five-body throw in the ground that the general Liu Qing admired, Yu Wenhua and where did he get such a Zhuge Liang, everything was calculated by him.

When the news of Jiangdu Palace reached Yu Wenhua and the mansion in Jiangdu City, Yu Wenhua and was simply ecstatic, it only took an hour to bring down his biggest obstacle Yuwen Chengdu, Yu Wenjing is not worried, he can easily control this person, now Jiangdu's 50,000 army is basically controlled by him, it can be said that the general trend has been decided, he hurriedly ordered someone to invite Liu Qing Liu Qing into the room, Yu Wenhua and stepped forward to give him a deep salute, "All thanks to Mr. Clever plan, Yuwen Chengdu has been dismissed." ”

Liu Qing laughed, "This is what I expected, Yang Guang is suspicious by nature, he can't even trust his wife and children, can he still trust Yuwen Chengdu, who is also from the Xiao family?" Just like when Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yang Yuanqing had already published an article against the thief Yang Xuangan, announcing his separation from the father-son relationship, he still couldn't believe Yang Yuanqing, and forced him to Fengzhou, which was called a lonely man, he thought that everyone was loyal to him, but he didn't know that he had already betrayed his relatives. ”

Yu Wenhua glanced at him strangely, "Does Mr. know Yang Yuanqing?" ”

Liu Qing smiled, "I've seen him once, but I don't know him, I've only heard a lot of his deeds, and he can be regarded as a heroic figure." ”

"What kind of hero is he, but he is just relying on his grandfather's shadow and a little luckier."

Yu Wenhua replied sourly, and then turned the topic back, "Now that Yuwen Chengdu has been suspended, when does Mr. think I should do it?" ”

Liu Qing sighed and said: "I'm worried that Yang Guang will come back to his senses and re-enable Pingwen Chengdu, this matter is sooner rather than later, tomorrow is also a day off, I advocate doing it tomorrow night." ”

Yu Wenhua thought that he would be able to realize his long-cherished wish tomorrow night, he was nervous and expectant, "I think there are still many things that are not ready, such as my dragon robe, my crown, and how to command and deploy the army, I haven't thought about these things, is it a few more days?" ”

Liu Qing understood Yu Wenhuaji's nervousness, so he smiled and comforted him: "We have been preparing for two months, Chen Ling has been loyal to you, and Sima Dejiao is also willing to fight the world with you, now there is only one Yu Wenjing left, as long as you control him and order him to take the internal guard army away from Jiangdu Palace, then all the big things have been accomplished, but I want to remind Gongzi that Gongzi cannot ascend the throne now, and must establish the imperial family as the new emperor, otherwise you can't command the 50,000 army, and the 50,000 army just wants to go home, not to rebel against you." ”

"But if I can't ascend the throne, what do I do with so much effort, my father's will is to let me rebuild the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and my husband also told me that I have a day to ascend the throne."

Yu Wenhua's face sank, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, it was good to say, he Yu Wenhua and would directly overthrow the Sui Dynasty and establish his own dynasty, Liu Qing also patted his chest and promised, he must be able to, but now he said that he could not ascend the throne, he could only support the royal family, didn't he make a wedding dress for others?

Liu Qing smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the childe, in the end, the prince will be allowed to ascend the throne, but not at first, as long as the prince kills the Yang royal family, leaving only one to be established as a puppet, and the prince is the regent, and when the time is ripe, the emperor suddenly dies, and there is no royal inheritance, then everyone can only support the regent to ascend the throne, do you say this is the truth?" ”

Yu Wenhua and Ning Shen thought for a moment, and finally nodded, if this is the case, he can accept this plan, not to ascend the throne first, and to be the regent.

The night was already very deep, a bright moon still hung brightly in the sky, cruising lonely in the endless blue dome, Jiangdu City had completely quieted, almost everyone had fallen asleep, and it was difficult for the patrol soldiers on the road to see, and no one would go out again at this time.

At this time, there was a black shadow near the north city wall, his movements were agile and vigorous, he used a flying rope to lassoate a wedge on the head of the city, like an ape climbing up to the head of the city, there were no soldiers on the head of the city, he ran two steps, jumped directly off the city wall several feet high, and disappeared silently, which is incredible.

This person is Shen Guang, the doctor of the scattered dynasty, seven years of great cause, Yang Guang took a fancy to his stunt of climbing over the wall and walking on the ground, and kept him by his side as an offering, and did not hold any position, but he is still the Eagle Yang Lang General of the Fengzhou Army, his identity can also be found in the record of the Ministry of War, he came to Yang Guang's side, and has never gone through any transfer procedures.

Shen Guang hurried through the night, walked about two miles, came to a village, and walked into a large mansion, which was located outside Jiangdu City, which was a place where the government's monitoring was weak, and there were many people of unknown origin living in it, and Jiangdu Anfu had no time to take care of it.

The mansion that Shen Guang came to was an intelligence point of the Fengzhou Army in Jiangdu, and the reason why the intelligence point was placed here was because eagles could be raised here, but not in the city.

Eagle raising is a very prosperous profession in the Great Sui Dynasty, four years of great cause, Yang Guangwei went west to conquer Tuguhun, recruited the best eagle slaves from the world, recruited more than 10,000 people, hunting and transmission is the greatest demand for eagles, many large merchants also use eagles to transmit important business information.

Shen Guang jumped into the wall, and immediately four or five crossbows were aimed at him, "Stop!" Someone whispered in the dark.

Shen Guang smiled and raised his hand, "Don't be nervous, it's me!" ”

Out of the darkness came a young man, Feng is about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and straight, with vigorous steps, although he is very young, but his eyes have a calmness that his peers do not have, his name is Chen Du, he is a partial brother of the Southern Chen royal family, he became an orphan at the age of seven, was raised by Shen Qiuniang, and joined the Fengzhou Army two years ago, because of his shrewdness and ability, he has now been promoted to the scout team of the Jiangdu intelligence point.

Chen Du smiled bitterly and said: "General Shen can you knock on the door next time, you always come in over the wall like this, we are almost paralyzed, in case it is a real officer and soldier who comes in next time, we will also think it is you." ”

Shen Guang snorted, "Next time, remember to knock on the door." ”

Chen Du was helpless, this General Shen said this every time, but not once he knocked on the door and came in, he also knew the purpose of Shen Guang's coming tonight, so he nodded, "The letter from the chief has arrived." ”

Shen Guang was overjoyed, he had been waiting for Yang Yuanqing's letter for this time, and he came to ask every night, but there was no result, he didn't have hope today, but he actually came.

"Where is the faith?" Shen Guang asked impatiently.

"General Shen, let's talk about it when we enter the house!"

Walking into the room, Chen Du took out a tube of eagle letter from the box, and it was also sealed with paraffin, although Shen Guang seemed to be careless, but in fact he was very anxiously waiting for Yang Yuanqing's letter, seeing that the situation in Jiangdu was getting more and more serious, he was anxious to get Yang Yuanqing's instructions.

Shen Guang peeled off the paraffin wax and pulled out a thin piece of silk from the bamboo tube, on which was Yang Yuanqing's handwriting, and only one line was written, 'Rescue King Yan and Princess Danyang'.
