Yang Chen saw that Cui Gongzi still didn't believe it, he was also a little annoyed, only to see him stand up and stare at Cui Gongzi and say, "I don't have to lie, I don't know if I say these things!" ”

Cui Gongzi was not afraid that Yang Chen would be angry, and finally nodded and said, "Since Yang Gongzi said that this matter has nothing to do with you, then Cui will believe it." ”

Yang Chen snorted and didn't say much, but Li Siwen asked in a low voice on the side: "Cui Gongzi, I don't know if you can tell me about your internal affairs, what I know is the news from Chang'an, and I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false!" ”

Cui Gongzi looked at Yang Chen and Li Siwen, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Of course you can, now this has happened, and it is far beyond our expectations, so what's the matter with telling you." ”

Hearing Cui Gongzi say this, Yang Chen also cheered up, listening to Cui Gongzi's words and wondering what was going on in Chang'an.

Since Cui Gongzi said that he wanted to say it, he would not be ambiguous.

So he thought about it and decided to start from the beginning, only to see him drink a big sip of tea before he spoke: "After the news came out that the emperor wanted to conquer Goguryeo in person, King Wu and Yang Gongzi's men found me, saying that they wanted to do a big deal. ”

Yang Chen couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "I was on vacation in Goguryeo at the time, I didn't know about it at all, don't take me with you anything!" ”

Cui Gongzi ignored him and continued: "After that, I contacted Changsun Chong and the Gaochang Turks, and the people of our six groups of forces got together, and finally discussed and decided that Gaochang and the Turks would create a crisis on the border, and draw everyone's attention to it, and it would be best to lead a part of the troops over." ”

Yang Chen glanced at Li Siwen and saw that his face was also a little frozen, so he spoke: "But this is not the case, although there is a trace of friction between Gaochang and the Turks on the border, but there is no threat to the Tang Dynasty, I heard that Li Chengqian knew that this news was ignored at all, and it was simply expected that Gaochang and the Turks would not dare to make a move." ”

Cui Gongzi also scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the two of them: "I don't know about this, I didn't pay much attention to Gaochang and the Turks after they explained to me, and the follow-up things were all contacted by King Wu, so I don't know why Gaochang and the Turks didn't work." ”

Li Siwen also said on the side: "Runzhou also learned about Gaochang and the Turks, but I received an order from my superiors to stay put, if Gaochang and the Turks dare to send troops to attack Yizhou, then send troops to support." ”

Yang Chen pursed his lips and complained helplessly: "I really don't take the lives of the soldiers seriously, do you really have to send troops over to die in a city!" ”

Li Siwen coughed, looked at Yang Chen and said, "What nonsense!" Yizhou City is not so easy to fight, with the previous lesson, Yizhou has long changed the defenders, and now even if the Turkic army presses the border, it will not be able to be defeated in a day. ”

Cui Gongzi nodded and continued: "The task of the Turks and Gaochang is to create a crisis on the border, and the rest of us are gathering officials in Chang'an City, with the help of the power of public opinion, to set off a storm among the people and the court. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Gongzi said with some puzzlement: "Young Master Yang, why did you push Tang Jian out?" If you don't say it, no one would dare to imagine that Tang Jian, the secretary of the dignified Ministry of Rites, is actually a subordinate of the previous dynasty, even if it is really King Wu who succeeds to the throne, Tang Jian's position will definitely be replaced! ”

Hearing Cui Gongzi's words, Yang Chen was also stunned, and looked at him in disbelief and said, "Tang Jian? Is he our man? ”

Li Siwen also looked at them in disbelief, "What are you two talking about?" Has the court been eroded by you? ”

Until now, Yang Chen finally realized that something was wrong, but what could he do.

Cui Gongzi saw that Yang Chen didn't explain to himself and continued: "After that, we stunned the neutral officials at home, but I didn't expect Li Chengqian to come and take all the people to the palace, not to mention, and the sons of those officials who helped us waited for the lawsuit, so King Wu also came to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Gongzi shook his head a little helplessly and said: "King Wu sneaked into Chang'an City with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses by night, but died outside the palace. ”

Yang Chen restrained his thoughts, looked at Cui Gongzi and said, "No, how can tens of thousands of soldiers and horses enter the city smoothly?" Do you really eat white rice as a general who defends the city? ”

Cui Gongzi shook his head and looked at Yang Chen and said: "It's Hou Junji, the eldest grandson Chong found Hou Junji and persuaded him, although Hou Junji will not help King Wu, but he is willing to open the city and let them in!" ”

Yang Chen looked at Cui Gongzi as if he was looking at a fool and said helplessly: "How could Hou Junji betray Li Chengqian? It's so stupid that you actually found him to cooperate, all of this was discussed by Hou Junji and Li Chengqian! ”

Cui Gongzi's face was not surprised, I saw him raise his head and look at Yang Chen and said, "Do you say that King Wu can not know?" I guess he's just gambling, he's betting that as long as Hou Junji puts his people in, he will have a chance to take down Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect to lose so badly! ”

Yang Chen still shook his head, looked at Cui Gongzi's eyes and said: "I'm different from what you think, I prefer to believe that King Wu was sent to death voluntarily, he may just want to paralyze Li Chengqian through his own death." ”

Yang Chen's bold statement made Cui Gongzi and Li Siwen stunned, and both of them looked at Yang Chen in disbelief.

Cui Gongzi still shook his head and said: "Impossible, how can King Wu, a person who cares so much about his life, take out his life to make wedding dresses for others!" ”

Cui Gongzi's words made Li Siwen and Yang Chen a little surprised, only to see Li Siwen look at Cui Gongzi and say, "You said that King Wu spared his life? What do you mean by that? ”

Cui Gongzi looked at the two of them with a somewhat surprised look, thought about it and explained: "When King Wu was in Jiangnan, he had to bring twenty or thirty guards every time he went out, and the place where he lived was also heavily guarded. ”

Yang Chen shook his head, looked at Cui Gongzi and said, "I haven't seen King Wu who went to Jiangnan, but my brother has seen King Wu in Chang'an." ”

Li Siwen also took over the words, looked at Cui Gongzi and said: "King Wu is an extremely cruel person, although he looks polite, but he has a good martial arts, when he was a child, he was the one who rushed to the front, I remember the most clear thing is that once we were playing outside, a thief wanted to steal his purse and was directly broken by him after he found it, such a person will not be surrounded by guards even if he spares his life." ”

Yang Chen nodded and continued: "What you said further confirms what I just said, otherwise there is really no way to explain that King Wu died so easily." ”

Cui Gongzi looked at Yang Chen, only to see that he pointed at Li Siwen helplessly and said: "It's easy to say anything we say, there is still a Tang Dynasty official here, and he won't tell the emperor if he talks so much!" ”

Cui Gongzi's words made Li Siwen stunned, but he still looked at Cui Gongzi with his head held high and said: "You look down on people a little when you say this, since King Wu is gone now, what should I tell the emperor?" I won't be bored with myself, and Yang Chen lives in my house, if I tell the emperor about this, the emperor won't think that I am lying to him with Yang Chen! ”

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't say anything, Cui Gongzi hurriedly looked at Li Siwen with a smile and said, "Li Gongzi and don't worry, I'm just joking, why are you still serious!" ”

Yang Chen waved his hand and looked at the two of them: "There are two problems now, the first is that King Wu's death is too simple, and the simplicity makes me feel like he was going to die, and the second is where did the assassin who assassinated Li Chengqian in Chang'an come from, was it sent by Gaochang to avenge Ju Ruanyu, or was it sent by Turks and other countries to stir up the situation, or was it done by people between you and me?" ”

Cui Gongzi couldn't make up his mind at this time, although he was now the head of the Jiangnan Shi clan, but there were some old guys behind his back who did a lot of things behind his back, hearing Yang Chen's analysis, Cui Gongzi couldn't help but doubt his own people.

Yang Chen was also thinking about it, in recent years, Zhao Yao and Zhao Zhao rarely reported the affairs of Datang to themselves, and the two of them seemed to be in close contact with their aunt, and this aunt was not Concubine Yang, but someone who hid deeper in the palace.

Both of them looked worried, but Li Siwen on the side smashed his mouth and said: "Is it possible that you two are thinking about things complicated, is there a possibility that King Wu is stupid to death, and the assassin who assassinated the prince may have been sent by other forces, or is it the enemy that Changsun Chong or His Royal Highness the Prince made before?" ”

Yang Chen and Cui Gongzi didn't have such a good attitude as Li Siwen, so they ignored him, but lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Li Siwen knew that he was bored with himself, and said to himself helplessly: "Why would Tang Jian do things for the people of the former Sui? I remember that his family was promoted by the emperor! ”

Cui Gongzi took this and looked at Li Siwen and said: "Tang Jian was an official of the former Sui Dynasty at the beginning, and later the situation in the Sui Dynasty was turbulent, so he found the Li family and let them establish themselves as kings, and then followed the Li family all the way to achieve this position today, as for why he helped the people of the former Sui to do things more simply, he has a son who is not angry, and he seems to feel that the emperor is not the current prince to take over, so he will help the people of the former Sui to do things, and want to please both sides." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Gongzi looked at Yang Chen and said: "Speaking of which, I still want to ask Yang Chengongzi, why did you push Tang Jian out, you must know his official position and the secret hidden by this person, if you didn't take the initiative to push this person out, then we would have no way of knowing!" ”
