It was about Gao Yue, Yang Ming couldn't talk to Yang Yinjiang, after all, it involved the jade seal of the country, and the stakes were very high.

Besides, Pei Ju has installed an informant in someone's house, and if Yang Yinjiang knew about it, he would definitely turn his face.

Who wants to have a spy in their home?

At noon that day, Yang Ming came to Pei Shuying, and after the latter read the letter, he immediately set it on fire.

"What does Grandpa mean, is it suspicious that this male slave may be Gao Lande?"

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, your father must have figured out a possibility. ”

Pei Ju is so cautious, he will tell you everything he finds, but he will not say his opinion on this matter, because in that way, it is very easy to guide Yang Ming and them to think in the same direction, which leads to thinking limitations.

He wants Yang Ming to judge and figure it out for himself.

People who are used to being secretaries are this problem, Pei Ju has served Yang Jian for 20 years, and everything is perfectly prepared, but he has never made a decision.

Da Sui's home is Yang Jian, and he is the only one who can decide, and Pei Ju is just the one who came up with the idea.

"The seal of the country was sent by Hu Lu Xiaoqing back then, this male slave is hiding in his mansion, most of them have ulterior motives," Pei Shuying whispered: "Do you guess this person, will it be Gao Lande, Grandpa said, this person is about twenty-four or five years old, and the time seems to be right." ”

Yang Ming asked, "How old is Gao Yue?" Did Chen Shuyi inquire about it? ”

During this time, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi got along very well, and often went to Gao Yue's side to chat, she went with a purpose, and her brain was better than Chen Shuyi, so it would be easier to find out some news.

Don't look at Pei Shuying's straightforwardness, she is also divided into people and things, when chatting about trivial matters, she dares to say anything, if it really involves key issues, it will be much hidden, which also makes her quickly gain Gao Yue's favor.

"Thirty-one years old," Pei Shuying said, "Jiande was born in Yecheng in the second year. ”

Jiande is the year name of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, and he is Yang Lihua's father-in-law.

Thirty-one years old, in the later generations, can still be called a young woman, but in the Great Sui, half-old.

Yang Ming asked curiously, "Have you seen her face?" ”

"No," Pei Shuying said mischievously: "I couldn't help but want to lift the fence several times to take a look, but I was afraid of upsetting her and misleading the business, so I couldn't help but do it, but the skin on her arms was very tender, not like a thirty-year-old woman." ”

Gee...... Don't talk nonsense, thirty years old is not old at all, right? You don't understand the good of young women.

Yang Ming said: "Although your grandfather did not say it explicitly in the letter, I estimate that he is likely to guess that this male slave is Gao Lande, Hu Lu Xiaoqing is a traitor in the eyes of Gao's family, he is a traitor seeking glory, he is hiding in Hu Lu Mansion, most likely he wants to harm people, by the way, Hu Lu Xiaoqing's death is not a problem, right?" ”

Pei Shuying shook her head and said: "No, Grandpa has a good relationship with Hu Lu Xiaoqing, he is old and frail, and he serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he has long been overwhelmed, and he died of a normal illness." ”

Yang Ming nodded.

It is not so easy to be a subordinate in the Yue Gong Mansion, in fact, most of the subordinate slaves and maids in the family of the Great Sui Gate Valve are from their hometowns, that is to say, the subordinates in Yang Su's Mansion are basically from Hongnong County.

Since this person has a Xiangzhou accent and is a living person, how did he enter the Yue Gong Mansion?

There is only one possibility, it was brought in.

If this is the case, then the person who wrote to Gao Yue at the beginning, saying that Gao Lande was in his hands, could it be Yang Su or Yang Yue?

It's not a small possibility......

Yang Ming whispered: "In the future, don't let Yin Jiang know about Gao Yue, I'll tell her about this matter in the future." ”

"I know," Pei Shuying nodded seriously: "Before things come to fruition, we can only rot in our stomachs." ”

Yang Ming smiled, raised his hand to stroke her cheek, Pei Shuying took advantage of the situation to get into Yang Ming's arms, and at this moment, Xu Jingfeng ran in from outside,

"There's something wrong with the girl, Your Highness go and take a look."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took Pei Shuying to the dormitory where Dugu Feng'er lived.

Because Dugu Feng'er often suffers from illness, she lives far away from Yang Ming, located in the northeast corner of the palace.

This was arranged by Yang Yinjiang, and there were thirty slaves and maids who were responsible for serving Dugu Feng'er, three cooks, seventeen male slaves, and twenty female maids, all of which were brought by Yang Yinjiang from her mother's family, which was absolutely reliable.

At this time, in the courtyard, there were already four guards with colors on their bodies, although they would not die, but it was enough for them to drink a pot.

In the middle of the courtyard, Dugu Feng'er stood barefoot, her long hair was scattered, she held a horizontal knife in her hand, and looked around with a cold expression, fierce and vicious.

The slaves and servants had long been frightened by this scene and hid far away, and more than 20 palace guards had already surrounded Dugu Feng'er.

When Yang Ming came in, Chen Kui, the head of his personal guard, hurriedly stopped in front of Yang Ming, and said with a solemn expression:

"Your Highness, be careful, this woman's sword technique is superb, and she has already injured four people in a row."

Yang Ming was stunned and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

It turned out that a servant girl who was responsible for serving Dugu Feng'er was quite casual and not very attentive, complaining in private that the crazy woman was difficult to serve, and the guards who were responsible for guarding this place had Yang Yinjiang's password, and those who were slack and dissatisfied would be punished with a rod and a whip.

So the maid was dragged out by the guards and given a few sticks, I don't know how, such a move stimulated Dugu Feng'er, who directly grabbed the knife and injured people, and the four guards didn't fight her, so it was reported to Chen Kui.

Chen Kui only knew that there was an important crazy woman locked up here, but he didn't know Dugu Feng'er's identity, so he thought about snatching the blade from the other party's hand.

As a result, he couldn't win it, and he almost hung the lottery himself.

After Yang Ming listened, he couldn't cry or laugh, before Dugu Feng'er was sick, she was notoriously wild, and even Dugu Jialuo had to teach her to suppress her wildness.

The father-in-law is the No. 1 man of the Dugu family, who is good at using knives, so it can be seen that Dugu Feng'er's knife skills should not be bad.

Yang Ming pushed away Chen Kui, who was blocking in front of him, and walked towards Dugu Feng'er.

In fact, he was also very panicked, afraid that the other party would not recognize anyone when he was sick, so he would also give him a knife.

Fortunately, after Dugu Feng'er saw Yang Ming, her eyes instantly softened, and she smirked at Yang Ming.

"Put the knife down," Yang Ming raised his hand to gesturing to her.

Dugu Feng'er smiled, picked up the scabbard on the ground with her toes, played a beautiful backhand knife in the air, and then kicked the blade, just kicking the horizontal knife in front of Chen Kui, who reached out to catch it, dumbfounded.

Yang Ming breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered: "In the future, the guards who are responsible for guarding this place must not carry sharp blades. ”

Then he added: "The sticks are also free." ”

After dismissing everyone, Dugu Feng'er let Yang Ming pull her back to the house.

"Okay, you can go back too," after Yang Ming persuaded Pei Shuying to leave, he called the maidservant Ah Qi and asked:

"Girl, are you seriously ill these days?"

Girl, is Yang Ming's name for Dugu Feng'er.

Ah Qi said: "Since I came to Jingzhou, the girl's condition has improved a lot, especially after every visit from His Royal Highness, the girl has not seen any illness for three or two days. ”

"Very good," Yang Ming nodded, stroked Dugu Feng'er who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Don't let her be idle, occasionally take her to the back garden to let her play and breathe." ”

"The slave knows," Ah Qi retreated.

Yang Ming smiled and picked up Dugu Feng'er's face, and said softly: "Don't mess around in the future, let alone hurt people, because no one here will hurt you, you know?" ”

Dugu Feng'er nodded and shook her head again.

Yang Ming didn't understand what she meant at all.

This girl is really powerful, she has become so thin, the four strong guards can't stop her, no wonder her grandmother hasn't let him see Dugu Feng'er for so many years, she should be afraid that she will be scared and don't want to marry her.

As long as Yang Ming stays here, Dugu Feng'er behaves very normally, except that she still doesn't speak, in other aspects, she has eased up a lot more than when Yang Ming first saw her.

I've heard Yang Yue say that when Dugu Feng'er was sick, she would say some strange things, but she had never heard her open her mouth, so this girl wouldn't even be able to speak in the future, right?

After being appeased for a long time, Yang Ming wanted to get out and leave, but he was caught by the other party, there was no way, it seemed that he didn't put her to sleep, he didn't want to leave.

So Yang Ming patiently taught her to speak,

"Ah, look at my mouth, ah......"

Dugu Feng'er frowned, looking at Yang Ming with a strange expression.

Yang Ming said again: "Mom, Mom, Mom, you follow me to learn?" I know you understand me. ”

Dugu Feng'er pursed her chapped lips and smiled strangely.

This can't be taught, she doesn't open her mouth,

Doesn't it all start with mom and dad? So Yang Ming plans to start from the most basic teaching.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy......"

......

An hour later, perhaps Dugu Feng'er felt that Yang Ming was too bored, and her drowsiness swelled up, so she fell asleep on Yang Ming's lap.

Picking up the other party and putting him on the bed, Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.

I can't teach her anymore, teach whoever I love in the future, I'm spitting and dry, she just doesn't open her mouth.

In the next few days, Yang Ming will take Yang Yinjiang and others to leave the governor's mansion and ride a horse to the suburbs.

Pei Shuying is also a northerner and has never seen the Yangtze River, so she insists on taking a boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait.

The affairs of the governor's mansion are all handled by someone, so Yang Ming is not worried, since Pei Shuying, a landlubber, likes to take a boat, then simply go down the river and go to Xiangyang to have a look.

He hasn't seen the one called Shen Qu yet, since he uses him, he naturally wants to let the other party know whose food you are eating.

As a result, as soon as the big ship arrived at Jiangxia Wharf, it was stopped by Murong Sanzang, the Taishou of Jiangling County.

How did he get from Gangneung to Jiangxia?

With doubts, Yang Ming asked the latter to board the ship.

Murong Sanzang had a bitter gourd face, presented a document from the ministry to Yang Ming, and then pleaded:

"Your Highness wants to be the master of your subordinates."

The content of this letter is to ask for the guilt, saying that when Murong Sanzang followed Wei Wei to pacify Lingnan, he indiscriminately killed civilians and lied about military salaries, and now he has been denounced, and the officials asked him to go back to Beijing and explain it clearly to the Criminal Department.

After reading the letter, Yang Ming knew what was going on, and it was completely just to find fault.

Shangshu Province's consistent style of doing things is like this, first talk about things smaller, so that you can rest assured to return to Beijing, as long as you dare to go back, and investigate a fart, you will be arrested and sentenced directly.

Murong Sanzang is an old Jianghu, and he knows that this is more than auspicious, so he divided his troops into two ways, first sent someone to send a letter to Wei Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to help intercede, and on his side, he quickly found Yang Ming and wanted Yang Ming to help him drag it first.

He used to follow Wei Wei, Wei Wei was Wei Chong's second brother, and after Wei Wei died, Murong Sanzang still maintained a very good relationship with Jingzhao Wei.

Later, after Wei Chong came to power, he took refuge in Wei Chong, still attached to Wei Chong's protection.

Yang Ming's second brother, Yang Xuan, the king of Yuzhang, was Wei Chong's son-in-law, so Murong Sanzang knew that Yang Ming would help him.

And that's exactly what happened.

Because Yang Ming felt a little strange, he was the governor of Jingzhou, and Jiangling County was his jurisdiction, if the officials wanted to move Murong Sanzang, they should say hello to him first.

Now he didn't say hello, so he asked the county Taishou to return to Beijing and cooperate with the investigation, obviously not taking himself seriously.

The officials, who dare not to put Yang Ming in their eyes, that is, Liu Shu, it is impossible for others to cross Yang Ming and directly move Murong Sanzang.

He really takes himself seriously, he has only been spoiled for a few days, and he has no one in his eyes?

Yang Ming was also very decisive, and directly asked Xu Jing to bring pen and ink, and wrote down four words: "There is no such thing."

Then he stamped the big seal of the governor's mansion and handed it to Xu Jing along with the letter from the ministry, and said, "Send someone to the Jiangxia official post and ask them to send it to Jingshi urgently." ”

Murong Sanzang watched from the side, he didn't expect Yang Ming to be so righteous, and he directly rejected the officials.

This is obviously to protect him, and after the officials receive the letter, they will definitely let him go.

Murong said with a grateful face: "Your Majesty thank you for your great kindness." ”

Yang Ming smiled, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and asked, "Is there such a thing as indiscriminately killing soldiers and embezzling military salaries, you tell the truth." ”

"Yes!" Murong Sanzang has been mixed up for so many years, and he knows when to tell the truth,

"When the ministers followed Xiangyang Gong (Wei Xun) to appease Lingnan, repeatedly suffered setbacks, Lingnan is a wild place, Yidi gathered people to make trouble, traitors everywhere, they are all local tribes, women and children and children can be soldiers, we suffered a big loss because of this, the corporal was ambushed and killed, and later Xiangyang Gong believed that Huairou means are useless for these barbarians, so he summoned a large army, but Fengyi Zhai directly set fire to the mountain, this move is indeed too heavy to kill, there is a meritorious injury."

"Although there is a suspicion of indiscriminate killing, but the barbarians are uneducated savages, it is useless to talk to them about etiquette and morality, and this matter was also truthfully reported at that time, and the Supreme did not feel inappropriate."

"As for lying about military salaries, there have indeed been, soldiers and soldiers have died in other places, if there is no heavy mercy, who wants to go deep into the wilderness and be born and die? So I worked with the Duke of Xiangyang at that time, lied about the number of enemies killed, got some more reward money from the imperial court, and distributed ...... to the soldiers."

Murong Sanzang's explanation is still credible, but Yang Ming knows that the other party must have hidden some secrets.

This is normal, and things that cannot be seen in the light can never be said.

Wei Wei put down the rebellion in Lingnan that year, directly killed Lingnan, and also had a fight with Mrs. Xian, who was respected as the Virgin of Lingnan, and convinced Mrs. Xian, so far, the Lingnan region was completely attached to the Great Sui.

This is a great achievement, and it can be attributed to the death penalty.

Obviously, these old things have now been turned out, and it is obvious that they are looking for faults, and they want to find a reason to do it with Murong Sanzang.

But the problem is that although Yang Ming and Murong have not been together for a long time, they can see that the other party is a rather sleek and sophisticated person, and this kind of person rarely offends people.

He is far away in Gangneung, how can he offend the people of the ministry?

"Although there is suspicion, it is not a big deal, not to mention that it was the presiding officer of Xiangyang back then, and it can't be discussed on your head by talking about the crime," Yang Ming said with a smile:

"Besides, Xiangyang Gong has made outstanding achievements, some trivial things, let alone crimes, you can be relieved, no matter who summons you to Beijing again, you will come to me first."

Murong Sanzang was completely relieved, there were people in the court who were good officials, and he still had something to rely on after all, and with Yang Ming to protect him, some turmoil would dissipate.

After he said goodbye and left, Yang Ming fell into deep thought.

Anyway, Murong Sanzang is also a member of the Wei family, and Liu Shu is now blatant to this point? How? Jingzhao Webster is not in the eyes anymore?

You'd better not come for me, huh? If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude to you.

Your family's ancestral grave is in my fiefdom.

......

Daxing, Weifu,

After Wei Chong received Murong Sanzang's distress letter, he summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures.

There is a humanitarian: "Murong worshiped under the Xiangyang Gongmen in his early years, and was knighted for his merits, and now he is a member of my Wei family, and the officials have not greeted you?" ”

Wei Chong frowned and shook his head: "The problem is here, the officials didn't say hello, and neither did the criminal department." ”

Another guest said: "At the moment, Shangshu needs to go to Jingzhou immediately, ask the king of Hedong to come forward to protect people, as for Jingshi, we will find a way to deal with Murong." ”

Wei Chong's title is the Marquis of Yifeng County, and he belongs to the same three products as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the Shangshu has great power, so they all call Wei Chong Shangshu.

Wei Chong said: "The letter has been sent, for the sake of His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, King Hedong should be able to help." ”

A doorman said: "A county is too guarded, in the preparation of the ministry, the origin of the net worth is very clear, it is impossible for them not to know that Murong is our person, so it is very likely that they are coming for us." ”

In fact, Wei Chong had already understood this, he just didn't expect that Yang Su had been snubbed by the Supreme for less than a month, and Liu Shu had already been arrogant to this point.

First Hongnong Yang, then Jing Zhaowei, Liu Shu's gall is fat enough.

Wei Chong snorted coldly and said, "Murong's title is bigger than mine, and the officials will move when they say it, it's really courageous." ”

Murong Sanzang has the title of Yewang County Duke, which is definitely higher than Wei Chong's county candidate, but he is not as strong as Wei Chong now, he is a Qi minister, once in the old Qi period, he attacked the Duke of Yan County, and after returning to the Great Sui, he became a county duke.

Because Murong Sanzang is a descendant of the royal family of Yan during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

As we all know, in that area of Liaoning, Murong has the final say.

But in the Great Sui, it was the Guanzhong Group that had the final say, so the Murong clan could only be attached to the Guanzhong Gate Valve.

Wei Chong's branch, now there are only the fifth Wei Chong and the sixth Wei You, and the four elder brothers above are all dead.

The sixth Wei Yue used to be the crown prince Xian Ma for Yang Yong, because he had sued Yuan Yan (the former governor of Yizhou) in front of Yang Yong, and was known by Yang Jian, and after being angrily reprimanded, he was dismissed, which made the emperor look unpleasant, and his career was cut off.

So Wei Chong is now the only one who is still supported by his father, Wei Xiong.

The four elder brothers' doormen are now basically attached to him, and as soon as he falls, their branch will fall and scatter.

Therefore, Wei Chong is determined to protect Murong Sanzang, if he can't keep it, the people under him will deviate from morality and cause big problems.

After the court meeting the next day, Wei Chong went to the East Palace to meet the crown prince Yang Guang.

"Got it, I'll say hello about this matter, you go back first."

Wei Chong knew that he couldn't say more, so he stopped at the point and left.

Subsequently, Yang Guang sent someone to summon Pei Ju,

"Murong Sanzang, do you have any impression?" Yang Guang asked.

After Pei Ju learned of the situation, he said with a smile: "This person is the second son of Murong Shaozong, the left servant of the old Qi Shangshu, after the eldest son was killed, Sanzang attacked the Duke of Yan County, and the Great Sui opened the country. ”

Yang Guang smiled: "So, this person still has a good background? ”

"It's a talent," Pei Ju nodded and smiled: "This person can do things, Jiangling is the capital of Jingzhou, and if you can be a taishou there, you naturally have some ability." ”

"You sit down first, sit down and talk in detail," Yang Guang asked, "Is he from the Wei family?" ”

Pei Ju said slowly: "In the early days of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, I was a maverick and did not attach myself to any family, so it took a few years to respect him, and he was even appointed as the ambassador of Liangzhou Province (temporary minister), and later found that this person always looked ahead and backwards, and his personality was indecisive, so he abandoned it." ”

"Later, he followed Xiangyang Gong Wei Xun to appease Lingnan, made meritorious contributions, and was able to be used again, at the age of forty-six, he was transferred to Jiangling Taishou to this day."

In fact, Murong Sanzang is quite wronged, he is Qi Chen, there is no backstage after entering Sui, can he do things without looking ahead? When he served as the ambassador of Liangzhou Dao, it was because no one dared to move or investigate that Yang Jian was completely disappointed in him.

Yang Guang couldn't help but smile and said, "Pei Gong didn't answer Lonely's question head-on. ”

Pei Ju said with a smile: "The courtiers in the world are all the people of the Supreme and the Prince, and there are no people from the Wei family." ”

"Well said!"

Yang Guang knew that this old boy was playing sloppy with himself, but there was nothing wrong with what people said was true.

"Do you think Liu Shu is doing this against Wei Chong, or at Gu's son?"

Pei Ju took a moment to say: "The complacent move is not aimed at anyone, but it is just to show off his might after the defeat of Yue Gong, Wei Chong did not provoke him, so there is no need for that, as for the king of Hedong, Liu Shu does not have the courage." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "So it seems that what this stupid guy is doing, he should turn a blind eye?" ”

"It is advisable to be laissez-faire," Pei said.

Yang Guang nodded and said, "Lone understands, you go down." ”

In fact, Pei Ju didn't think that Liu Shu was just getting carried away and wanted to establish authority in the court, but he also knew that the Supreme was laissez-faire, and the prince should not take care of it, so as not to contradict the Supreme Lord's wishes.

Liu Shu is not a stupid person, if he can make a book, he can't be a stupid person.

Therefore, Pei Ju deliberately guided the crown prince Yang Guang and despised Liu Shu, so as not to be suspicious of the Supreme.

Pei Ju spoke, half-truths and half-truths, such a person is the top strategist.
