Yuwen Yubo was quietly arranged to live in a small courtyard behind Meilin, and as soon as Yi Feng returned to the front hall, Liu Wenjing reported that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, had summoned Yi Feng to the Jin Palace's mansion to discuss the Northern Expedition.

Yi Feng took a team of flag guards and rode all the way to the temporary line in the palace of the King of Jin. Yang Jian and Yang Su had already been waiting there, and when they saw Yi Feng coming, they immediately drove out several of the subordinates in the hall.

"We must teach Gao Gong a lesson!" Yang Guang saw Yi Feng come in, and said with a gloomy face. "He must be taught a lesson."

"What's wrong?" Yi Feng asked Yang Su.

Yang Su also said in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Gao Gong has always been unable to get along with us. Yi Feng nodded, of course he knew this, Gao Gong is the backbone of the princeling's party, and Yang Guang is the biggest threat to the prince, and at the same time, Yang Su, who is now the core of the Jin Dynasty, is also the biggest threat to Gao Gong's position. Although Yang Su entered the center back then, he was also recommended and promoted by Gao Gong, but now Yang Su has been impacting all the way, after Yu Qingze and Su Wei have given up the position of deputy minister, he has become the second only to Gao Gong among the hundred officials, for Gao Gong, Yang Su is the biggest threat to him over the years. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Delin, Su Wei, and Yu Qing were his important opponents, but Li Delin was fought out of the dynasty by him. Yu Qing was killed by the Son of Heaven, and Su Wei was suppressed by him several times. Now he doesn't dare to challenge him at all, only Yang Su. became more and more favored by the emperor, and finally stopped being submissive to him, but began to openly confront him. Yang Yong can't tolerate Yang Guang, and Gao Gong can't tolerate Yang Su either. The last Yan Rong case was a fierce attack on the Jin Dynasty's party by Gao Gong as the crown prince's plan and presiding over the joint Han king.

They were so successful that they now want to take advantage of the victory and continue to attack, and they don't want to stop.

"Gao Gong old thief, just received the report. Gao Gong's people intercepted a batch of lonely goods in Jizhou. Yang Guang said resentfully.

"What?" Yi Feng asked, but looking at Yang Guang's appearance, it is estimated that it is a batch of important materials.

"A thousand war horses sent from Huaihuang to Yangzhou."

At this time, Yi Feng couldn't help but be annoyed, these thousand war horses were part of the tea and horse deal he had agreed with Yang Guang before, Yang Guang's tea had not been given to him, but his horses had been continuously transported to Jiangnan. The number of these thousand war horses is quite a lot, but they were intercepted halfway by Gao Ying, and the economic losses are very heavy, not to mention, which also caused an important hidden danger. If it is a high gong, it is a vine and touches the melon. Find some key evidence to prove to the emperor that there was a secret collusion between the kings of Zhao and Jin, trading a large number of war horses privately, and plotting against each other. It's going to be a hassle.

"How many did Gao Gong find?" Yi Feng asked. The war horses traded with Yang Guang are now all Yang Guang's people who go directly to Huaihuang to transport horses, and the links on the road are all arranged by Yang Guang, so he doesn't know if the specific details have been checked by Gao Ying.

"Rest assured. Although Gao Gong intercepted the horses, he could not find any more information. He must have known that the horses were transported from Huaihuang to Jianghuai. But he couldn't get concrete evidence. However, the matter had already been brought to the attention of Gao Gong, and a thousand horses were now in the hands of the prince. A counterattack must be given to Gao Gong! Yang Guang said hatefully.

Yi Feng also nodded. Gao Gong grabbed a thousand horses this time, and he will definitely not stop there, if he doesn't want to solve this matter, he is afraid that there will be more and more troubles in the future. He pinched his chin and pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said to Yang Guang and Yang Su: "I have thought of a plan to deal with Gao Gong." Since you dare to intercept our horses, then let's use the horses to make some articles, and repay the high horses. ”

"Horses? I'm afraid that this matter will not be made public in front of His Majesty. Yang Guang worried.

"Don't worry, this horse is not another horse, but another horse." Yi Feng smiled a little mysteriously, "In short, we want to look good this time." If this thing is well planned, Gao Gong Ke will be anxious and too busy to take care of himself. ”

"What is the strategy, let's talk about it in detail." Yang Guang perked up and hurriedly asked.

"Listen to me slowly"

It is not an easy thing to deal with the head of a hundred officials like Gao Gong. But although Gao Gong has been the prime minister for many years, he is not completely without weaknesses that can be attacked. To deal with Gao Gong, the most advantageous weapon is the suspicion and vigilance of the Son of Heaven against Gao Gong, an important minister who has held the position of prime minister for more than ten years. Especially now, when the emperor is getting older and more suspicious, Gao Gong's trust in the past has now become all kinds of suspicion of the Son of Heaven. To deal with today's Gao Gong, you don't need any real handles, sometimes there are only some things that catch the wind and shadows, but it is easier to attack Gao Gong. As long as he succeeds in arousing the suspicion and suspicion of the Son of Heaven, then how can Gao Gong continue to sit in the position of the head of the hundred officials without losing the trust of the Son of Heaven. And for an important minister like Gao Gong, once the Son of Heaven no longer trusts him, it is almost impossible to get out of the way.

Yi Feng asked the two with a smile, "Your Highness and Duke Yue still remember Yu Qingze's death?" ”

Yu Qing is Yang Su's predecessor, and he was also the official to the right servant of Shangshu, one of the four nobles at the beginning of the emperor, and was once Yang Jian's confidant, and Yang Su is a powerful figure who is in and out of the picture. But such a character, when he was second only to Gao Gong in the position of deputy prime minister in the end, was suddenly convicted and died, and it was also a crime of rebellion, in fact, in the final analysis, it was just a crime that he wanted to add. Yu Qing is a military general, and he is meritorious, his merits are high, but he doesn't understand the low-key, and his colleagues are jealous of the emperor's suspicion, and finally end up being killed.

Yang Su once turned against Yu Qingze at the beginning, and the two sides fought fiercely, it can be said that Yu Qingze's death also had Yang Su's contribution to promote. Hearing Yi Feng mention Yu Qingze, he was thoughtful.

"Yu Qing was executed for his wife and brother who accused him of rebellion." Yang Sudao. But he knew in his heart that Yu Qingze had no rebellion at all, but that the master was suspicious of the emperor and killed Yu Qingze through the false accusations of his wife and brother.

Yang Guang did not speak. But his expression is also well aware of this case, knowing that this is a famous unjust case in Dasui. Its essence is actually the same as the Yan Rong case and the Cui Concubine case, and the emperor took the opportunity to clean it.

"You have to deal with Gao Gong. In fact, there is no need for us to directly attack Gao Gong. Yi Feng said: "I heard that Shangzhu King Shiji has a good personal relationship with Gao Ying. ”

Yang Su nodded, "The last time I went east to Goguryeo, Wang Shiji was the marshal of the march, and it was Gao Gong Baozuo. ”

"Sumeru means to attack Wang Shiji, and then use this to implicate Gao Gong?" Yang Guang was also very smart, and immediately heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and thought of Yi Feng's purpose.

Yi Feng didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "I heard a rumor that Wang Shiji once said a word to Gao Gong. He said to Gao Gong that my generation is the courtier of Zhou, and the society is destroyed, what if it is? However, Gao Gong never reported this matter to the emperor. ”

Yang Su and Yang Guang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they opened wide. What Yi Feng said was quite lethal. Whether Wang Shiji said this to Gao Gong or not, they don't know, but they might as well take it as if they said it. And the meaning of this sentence is: We are all courtiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now that Yang Jian has established a new dynasty, do we have to think about ourselves. This sentence is quite rebellious, if Wang Shiji really said it, Gao Gong reported to the emperor, Wang Shiji could not escape the death penalty. But Gao Gong never reported this matter to the emperor. And Yi Feng said that Wang Shiji had secretly said this to Gao Gong. This is now a completely unprovable thing, but if it is transmitted to the emperor, it is a perfect thing that can successfully arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Of course, if only that's it. It's almost impossible to bring down an upper pillar and a left servant shot. This requires more evidence to prove the conspiracy and alliance between Wang Shiji and Gao Gong. More evidence is needed. It proves that Wang Shiji is a person who has always been dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, so. can make people believe that Wang Shiji said something like that at the beginning, and after overthrowing Wang Shiji. can also implicate Gao Gong.

Yi Feng immediately threw out another bombshell news: "I heard that after the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Wang Shiji became the marshal of the marching army, but he was not reprimanded much after the war, and finally transferred to the post of Liangzhou Governor, in fact, Gao Gong said a lot of good things for Wang Shiji?" ”

"Indeed!"

"I heard a news that Wang Shiji returned to Beijing last year and brought back four thousand-mile horses, which are said to be sweaty and bloody horses from the Western Regions. He got four horses, one of which he rode himself, and the other three were given away. One of them was given to Yuan Min, the general of the left guard of the Shangzhu State, one was given to the general of the right guard of the Shangzhu State, Yuan Guan, and the last horse was given to Gao Gong. ”

"Really?" Yang Guang asked urgently.

"Absolutely." Yi Feng said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Yang Guangda smiled, and smiled very happily. This can be regarded as a very good handle, the Son of Heaven has always forbidden officials in the DPRK and China and local officials to collude with each other to give gifts, once there was an official of the Taifu Temple to inspect the local horse farm, but received a horse whip from the horse farm officials, and was ordered by Yang Jian to be killed as a court cane. The Son of Heaven not only forbade the kings of the clan and the princes to exchange gifts with the court officials, but also strictly forbade such exchanges between the court officials and local officials. What's more, Wang Shiji not only gave a gift to the prime minister, but also gave it to the two generals of the Beijing Janissaries, which is still such a heavy gift. Such a thing, whether it is big or not, whether it is small or not, completely depends on the meaning of the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven wants to punish you, this is a great crime, and if you don't want to punish you, then it's just a trivial matter.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to take down Wang Shiji." Yang Su shook his head and said. Wang Shiji is the Shangzhu State, or the governor of Liangzhou, and he is a rare general among the military generals in the DPRK and China, and it is difficult to overthrow him in one fell swoop with these alone, after all, Wang Shiji is a member of the princelings, and he is indeed closely related to Gao Gong.

"One more fire is enough." Yi Feng sneered and said, "Yu Qing is defeated because his brother-in-law Zhao Shizhu told him that he was plotting against him, and Wang Shiji is plotting against him, is there no honest person who is loyal to His Majesty?" ”

Yang Su couldn't help but look at Yi Feng a little at this time, this is quite a ruthless method, no matter whether you really rebel or not, as long as a cronie next to you comes out to denounce you, then you will be at a loss. Especially when the emperor is still suspicious of you, what the emperor needs is often just such a reason and excuse. Isn't this how Yu Qing died?

"Wang Shiji may find such a person around him?" Yang Guang asked.

"This matter will be handed over to a certain person to deal with, His Royal Highness Bao Zhun is satisfied, this time Gao Gong will have to shed his skin if he does not die." Yang Su sneered. With Yi Feng pointing out such a clear method, if he can't handle this matter again, it would be too much to underestimate him.

Yi Feng said with a smile on the side: "Then wait for Yue Gong's good news." He didn't care about coming up with such a ruthless idea for Yang Guang and Yang Su, because he didn't have a good impression of Gao Gong Wang Shiji. They are groups with different interests, opposing parties. They have always been the core supporters of the crown prince, not to mention that Gao Gong had just robbed him of a thousand horses. He and the prince and Gao Gong are already in a relationship where you die or I die. There is no reason to be merciful to the enemy at this time, and to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

But he was just going to come up with an idea, but he didn't plan to actually do it. These intrigues and deceitful struggles in the court are naturally best if they don't have to use them themselves.

Yang Su's methods are very powerful, and after returning to the Yue Guo Mansion, he immediately found his brother Yang Yue. Tell him what he discussed with King Jin and King Zhao today, Yang Su has great trust in this brother, and often consults with this brother in military and political affairs, regardless of the size of the matter, and listens to his suggestions. Although Yang Yue climbed a tree when he was young and injured his lower body and became a eunuch, this did not affect his IQ, not to mention that he was extremely trusted by the Son of Heaven and held a secret agent force for Yang Jian, and he knew most about these conspiracies. At the moment, he clapped his hands and said: "Step after step, one link after another, if it weren't for you personally suing me, I wouldn't believe that such an old and vicious plan was actually from the hands of His Royal Highness the young King Zhao." Ruthless, poisonous, absolute! As King Zhao said, as long as we can find a person who can control and drive Wang Shiji's cronies, then Wang Shiji will be completely finished, that is, Gao Gong, and this time we can also peel off a layer of his skin and make him a mess. ”

"King Zhao was reckless, but he didn't expect that this not only did not become his weakness, but sharpened him into such a powerful character. Outsiders like to call him Yi Hu, saying that he is brave. I prefer his other nickname, the nine-headed Jiao, which is an elusive nine-headed Jiao, which turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm. Yang Su said to his brother for the first time the words of admiration for Yi Feng in his heart.

"In the future, you can help me pay more attention to His Royal Highness King Zhao, I always feel that His Royal Highness King Zhao is not all his strength."

"I'll keep an eye on him, and I'm getting more and more interested in this highness now." (To be continued......)
