This green robe clerk Shi is a disciple of Pei Shiju. He has followed Pei Shiju for many years and met Jia Lan. He was even more surprised by Jia Lan's "resurrection from the dead". Now seeing that Pei Shiju not only can't wait to summon Jia Lan, but also extends the conversation time and ignores a lot of emergency official duties. Ma realizes that the content of the conversation between the two is very important, even more than two days later, the emperor's imperial journey eastward.

The Qing-robed clerk Shi stayed by Pei Shiju for a long time, and his eyesight was of course extraordinary, and he could better measure the importance of the matter. So after a little bit of a mistake, he immediately retreated outside the garden gate, but did not leave immediately, as if he was about to wait for Pei Shiju to issue a new order.

Jialan knew that he had bet right on his chess. Such alarmist words may not achieve the expected results when they were said on weekdays. But now the emperor has arrived at Linshuo Palace and will soon rush to Liaodong. The day when the emperor arrives in Huaiyuan Town, that is, when the attack begins, once the battle begins, the emperor rides to the "tiger's back", he will be unable to help himself and cannot even think about it. Pei Shiju must consider possible risks. Even if he does not believe that Yang Xuangan wants to rebel, he must prevent problems before they happen, so as not to be caught off guard and turn around.

Galan was as calm as water, and held Pei Shiju's hand again to support him. Pei Shiju's mind was in a state of excitement. Although it was not reflected in her face, she was extremely heavy, her feet were as heavy as a pound, and she could no longer move.

"Where does the news come from?"

"After the Battle of Yiwudao, the situation in the northwest changed drastically. In addition to Changsun Heng'an entering Laolang Mansion, Yuan Hongsi was also appointed as the Honghua left-behind guard and was in charge of the military of the thirteen counties of Longyou. Yuan Hongsi was the biggest beneficiary of Yiwudao's battle. Before the start of the Eastern Expedition, Yuan Hongsi was the prefect of Zhuoshi County and was ordered to go to Donglai, Shandong to build warships. After the Battle of Yiwudao, he was transferred from Zhuoshi County to Honghua left-behind guard and from Youyan to the northwest."

"This incident reveals an unusual and strange thing. The expectation of the Eastern Expedition is to destroy Goryeo like a destruction, just like the Western Expedition that destroyed Tuyuhun. This was a war without suspense, with merits at your fingertips, and everyone can be promoted. With Yuan Hongsi's status, he could have achieved a considerable achievement, but he actually gave up. He left the Northeast before the Eastern Expedition began and transferred to the Northwest where he could not get any contribution. Why? Everyone tried every means to rush to Liaodong.

Why did he do the opposite when he was on the battlefield? Yuan Hongsi was the first family of Guanlonglu, and was the prefect of Zhuo County. He also made a lot of preparations for the Eastern Expedition. He made great contributions in the process of digging the Yongji Canal, building the Linshuo and Linyu Palaces, and supervising the navy warships. Although many people impeached him for his harsh government, the emperor did not kill the donkey. For these trivial matters, he drove him to the northwest before the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, there must be unknown secrets in it."

Jialan glanced at Pei Shiju with a solemn expression and continued, "Brothers, we must die in vain. We want to take revenge. Heijiu has been secretly investigating, and his primary target is Yuan Hongsi, and he found a key figure."

Pei Shiju immediately paid attention and his eyes were as sharp as a torch.

"Li Mi, Duke of Pushan County."

Pei Shiju thought for a moment, and a hint of suddenness appeared in his eyes, as if he had discovered something from it.

"The temple is high and power struggles are everywhere. For those who are in power, we are just insignificant grass, mustard, ants, and in order to fight for power and profit, they can trample on us and destroy us at will. We have nothing, but we still have hatred. For hatred, even if we are crushed to pieces, we will be willing to go to Chang'an, so he arrived in Tulunchuan."

"How many people survived besides you two?" Pei Shiju asked suddenly.

"In addition to the two of us, there are six brothers alive." Galan's voice was hoarse, full of pain, anger and guilt. "Ming Gong, this is all a fault, and he failed Ming Gong's trust..."

Pei Shiju shook his hand and had no intention of pursuing the incident back then, and did not want to blame Galan.

After all, Jialan and the Northwest Wolf were the chess pieces in the Northwest game, and their destiny was in the hands of others. Pei Shiju lost the game of chess, and the reason why he lost was for the big game of Zhongtu. He gave up the small and sought big, and there was always gain and loss. It was normal for the exchange of interests. He was also very guilty and could not explain to Jialan, but there was no need to explain now. He suddenly realized that if Yang Xuangan really wanted to rebel, then he would not only lose, but also lose face, and he would be the one.

It is obvious that the power struggle that year was the real purpose of the Guanlong powerful people headed by Yang Xuangan was to make a plan for the rebellion. Yuan Hongsi gave up his merits and was transferred to the northwest Honghua to stay in the northwest. In fact, he went to the northwest army. The Guanlong people controlled the Northwest army and could enter Chang'an at any time. The capital of the Guanlong people was the foundation of the Guanlong people. Once Yang Xuangan raised his troops to rebel, the Northwest army would fall down, and the Guanlong people took advantage of the situation to turn against each other, Chang'an would lose. What's more serious is that the emperor was far away in the battlefield in Liaodong, and it was beyond the reach. When the emperor received the news, he then withdrew his troops and suppressed the rebellion. It was a month or two later, and the eastern capital Luoyang was probably lost.

At the beginning, many people in the central center thought that Yuan Hongsi was just greedy for the benefits of the Silk Road, so they would rather not have the merits of the Liaodong battlefield than go to Longyou to drink the northwest wind. Later, the Eastern Expedition failed, and many people envied Yuan Hongsi's good luck, thinking that his choice was wise at the time and escaped a disaster by chance. Otherwise, Yuan Hongsi would have been ashamed of defeat and the disaster of expulsion. Looking back at the Eastern Expedition, Yuan Hongsi was not lucky at all, but a part of Guanlong powerful people led by Yang Xuangan had known that the Eastern Expedition would fail and had no intention of going to the Liaodong battlefield to die.

The failure of the Eastern Expedition must be attributed to the fierce power struggle between the various forces in the court. Everyone sacrificed their own interests for their own interests and fought bloody battles. The failure of the Eastern Expedition suffered the greatest losses in the reform faction headed by the emperor, with the powerful and powerful people in Shandong and Jiangzuo as the main body. The second is the Guanlong powerful and conservatives headed by Yu Zhongwen. Both sides fought to suffer losses, such as the inner history Ling Yuanshou, Na Yan Yang Da, Shang Duan Wenzhen of the Ministry of War, Shang Yuwen Kai of the Ministry of Works, Yang Xiong, the general of the Zuo Yiwei, Guande Wang Yang Xiong and other empires.

The central important officials died one after another during the Eastern Expedition. The Eastern Expedition caused the Empire to lose 300,000 soldiers and a group of ministers from the pillar states. The Empire was covered in blood and covered with scars. The consequence was that during the Second Eastern Expedition, the army had to be drawn from the capital, and at the same time, the young emperor grandson stayed in Xijing and Dongdu to ensure the safety of both capitals. People such as Yang Xuangan, Husizheng, Li Zixiong, and Zhao Yuanshu were also allowed to take on important tasks, either to take charge of the security of the people, or to supervise grain or to command the army, and the power was left to the hands of non-confidant ministers.

If some of the Guanlong powerful people headed by Yang Xuangan wanted to usurp the throne and plan the country and start the layout early, then the drafting and adoption of the decision-making of the Eastern Expedition, fierce fighting between various factions during the Eastern Expedition, and their "black hands" behind them. In the end, they not only "fishermen benefited", but also successfully completed the entire layout of usurping the country. Now that the layout has been completed, we are waiting for the emperor to rush to the Liaodong battlefield to command the battle. It can be predicted that when the fierce battle in the Eastern Expedition is in full swing, it will definitely be the period when the usurpation of the country begins.

Is this true? Who planned this shocking conspiracy? Who has such a terrifying intent today?

Pei Shiju has always been very conceited. In his opinion, no one has this talent. Those who are ambitious certainly want to usurp the country, and of course they have to plan and plan, but in the end there are very few successful people. The reason is that no one can accurately predict the future and accurately grasp the development of the situation like gods. Therefore, planning is one thing, and whether it can be realized is another thing.

Who dares to predict that the Eastern Expedition would fail? As far as Pei Shiju knows, only Galan "spoken words". Galan doesn't understand Middle Earth at all, is not familiar with the center, and does not know the situation in Liaodong. She is purely self-righteous nonsense. So Pei Shiju laughed it off at the beginning. Even now, he still thinks that the success of Galan's prediction is "coincident", just like a child guessing the size, which is normal, and if he guesses it, it is a random joke. Since no one dares to predict that the Eastern Expedition will fail, then that is

Even if Yang Xuangan and others were determined to usurp the country, they would not design a nearly perfect layout. Today, Yang Xuangan's layout is almost perfect, which can only be said to be luck. For those who are successful in usurping the country, luck is also a crucial factor. Now it seems that Yang Xuangan is very lucky. No matter whether he really wants to usurp the country or not, he actually has a big layout of usurpation. As long as he is determined to usurp the country and set off a big storm, even if he cannot destroy the Yang family's destiny, he can severely damage the empire.

"At the banks of Qiemo River, someone and Xiong Ba saved a group of severing prisoners from Achai Lu. They are a family. The head of the family is one of the three phoenixes in Hedong. "

Jialan's words immediately attracted Pei Shiju's attention.

He knew a lot about what happened after Jialan walked out of Tulunchuan. Feng Xiaoci from Hexi Weifu reported again and again, and then joined forces with Changsun Heng'an of Laolang Mansion. Among them, there were detailed reports on the complex relationships and events between Jialan, Northwest Wolf, Zhaowu Qushuzhi, Turks, Tiel people, and Louguandao. It was precisely because the emperor pardoned Jialan and appointed him as the Xiaoguo Army, but Xue Deyin was not mentioned in all the memorials.

Xue Deyin himself is very famous, one of the three phoenixes in Hedong, and is very famous. Xue Deyin's father Xue Daoheng was a master of Han. Although Xue Daoheng was an old minister of Gao Qi, Shandong, he had a very good relationship with Gao Jin, Su Wei, Yang Su, Niu Hong and others during the late emperor's reign, and was especially close friends with Yang Su. The two of them not only sing the poems between them, but also left a story of literary and Han. Therefore, Xue Daoheng had a good career in the empire and was once valued by the late emperor. Even the then crown prince Yang Yong regarded him as a guest and held the etiquette of disciples. Xue Daoheng took the "ship" of the crown prince Yang Yong and became a loyal prince. As a result, after the crown prince lost power, he was attacked and was escorted to Lingnan.

After he succeeded to the throne, he initially wanted to reuse Xue Daoheng, and even planned to grant him a high position in the Secretariat Secretariat Secretariat. However, Xue Daoheng was a firm conservative, and used his respect and united a group of powerful ministers to clearly oppose and resist Jin's reform plan. He eventually angered Jin and killed him under the hands of the censor Pei Yun.

Xue Deyin is a loyal follower of his father Xue Daoheng. He is close friends with Yang Xuangan and is also a princeling.

Most of the princelings are the children of the powerful and powerful officials in Guanlong. Although they have been killed and attacked by the late emperor and the current, their main forces have been stubbornly preserved. These main forces are the children of large families, such as Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan County. He is the great-grandson of Li Bi, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms. He is well-educated and famous in the two capitals. The reason why he has never entered the official career is because he is the princeling. At the beginning of Daye, Li Mi worked as a captain in the Imperial Guard, but was immediately driven out by the name of the king and was forever gone.

The career of officialdom. It is precisely because Li Mi had no official position and no future that he was entrusted with a title of Pushan County Duke and was waiting to die. So he was a pure aristocratic family man who could be handed over at will. To put it bluntly, he had sufficient conditions to "form cliques and private interests". Aristocratic family man like Li Mi was not a minority in the capital, so as they worked tirelessly, the prince's remnants always existed in the darkness. Not only did he not collapse, but he became stronger and more solid, and influenced the situation in Chang'an and the entire empire.

Li Mi had a group of friends with good friends, all of whom were powerful, including Yang Xuangan, Huo Sizheng, Yuan Hongsi, Zhao Yuanshu and others. Xue Deyin was also very close to Li Mi before he was amateur. Children from aristocratic families had in-laws, legitimate and illegitimate, branch hall, and different interest demands. The relationship was complicated. They might still drink and sing together today, but tomorrow they would become enemies of life and death. So even though Li Mi knew that Li Mi raised guests and was respectful to the virtuous and had friends with the world, no one dared to say that he was suspected of "forming a clan for personal gain."

From Xue Deyin to Li Mi, from Li Mi to Yang Xuangan, Hu Sizheng and others, Pei Shiju became more and more sure of what Jia Lan said.

Next, Jialan talked about some secrets about Xue Deyin, Lou Guandao, Longxi Li family and Guanzhong Changsun family joined forces to find Xue Deyin, and told Pei Shiju everything about the heroic hope of Li Gui in Hexi to the Longle Mansion area to find and respond to Xue Deyin, and told Pei Shiju everything about the transactions made by Lou Guandao and the Li family in Longxi.

In order to convince Pei Shiju, Galan made some changes in some details, and the focus of the change was to attribute the news of Yang Xuangan's conspiracy to rebellion to Lou Guandao. This storm horse that swept across Middle Earth was about to break out, and Pei Shiju didn't have time to seek help from Lou Guandao to distinguish the truth from falsehood.

Secondly, Jialan told Pei Shiju that the reason why Lou Guandao and the Li family in Longxi revealed this news was that they hoped to join forces with Pei Shiju, strive to prepare in advance, and each of them gained their own benefits in this storm, and he was the messenger who conveyed the message.

If Lou Guandao wants to make profits from it, he can only rely on the powerful families of aristocratic families. However, some of Guanlong's powerful families, mainly Li clan in Longxi, are obviously not strong enough. At the same time, Pei Shiju's strength is not enough to withstand this storm, let alone waiting for opportunities to make profits, so both sides need an alliance. The alliance between the two sides is beneficial or harmless.

Third, Xue Deyin is in the military camp, which is a strong evidence. However, Xue Deyin has been away from Chang'an for more than three years. Even though she had participated in Yang Xuangan's plan to usurp the country, three years later, the situation in China and Turkey has changed drastically, and the plans in the past have long been "changed". Even though Xue Deyin's testimony has some effect, it is a counterproductive effect under the current situation.

Pei Shiju would never be so stupid that he let Xue Deyin tell Yang Xuangan in front of the emperor. That was an insult to the emperor's wisdom, which was to push himself to the dead end, and to open his mind and let his opponent kill him with a knife. Therefore, Xue Deyin and everything he knew could only help convince Pei Shiju to believe that Yang Xuangan was going to rebel, and that Pei Shiju had a premonition that the crisis was coming, so that he immediately began a series of plans to stop or resolve the crisis.

Pei Shiju kept silent and listened silently. From his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he believed it or not.

Jialan took out his last move, "Ming Gong, if I want to see you, I can only beg General Xue to send me a message, but General Xue thought you abandoned someone. If there is no special reason, he would not send me a message on the first time, so I had to bring Xue Deyin to the general."

Pei Shiju raised his white eyebrows slightly, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed through his eyes.

The current situation is special. The first Eastern Expedition was defeated. The second Eastern Expedition has begun. The conflicts between the parties are extremely fierce. The atmosphere in the court and the country is tense. The emperor and the central government have no way out. At this time, if he does not have detailed evidence, he rashly impeached Yang Xuangan and other ministers, saying that they conspired to rebel. The result can be imagined. The second Eastern Expedition will definitely be delayed. If it is delayed for two months, this year's Eastern Expedition will only be cancelled, because the winter in Liaodong came early, and two months of the attack time will not be enough.

The emperor and the central government are definitely unwilling to delay the plan of the Eastern Expedition, so the best way for the emperor and the central government is to take it together regardless of the scatteredness. Both the impeachers and the impeached ones will be taken down first, and the Eastern Expedition will be closed down and then slowly liquidated. If the Eastern Expedition fails again, everyone will have to be buried for the failure of the Second Eastern Expedition. On the contrary, if it is victorious, even if Yang Xuangan and others are found and killed, they will be finished. The opponent will counterattack wildly and will definitely kill themselves.

There is another possibility that this incident is a scam from beginning to end, a trap, a conspiracy to destroy his own hidden weapon. The opponent is waiting for him to fall into the trap, report to the emperor if there is insufficient evidence, and then expose himself to death.

In short, both public and private, we cannot report to the emperor now. If this matter is true, we must obtain detailed evidence. If it is fake, we must also come up with countermeasures and force the opponent out.

Pei Shiju sighed secretly. Unexpectedly, Jia Lan brought him a huge trouble and ignored it, but Xue Shixiong knew. As the general of the right guard, Xue Shixiong could pretend not to know, but he had to consider the consequences of concealing and not reporting it. If this matter was true, Yang Xuangan really rebelled and led to the failure of the second Eastern Expedition, then once the news that Jia Lan came to report the news was leaked, Xue Shixiong would be over. The emperor would not let him go, and he might even kill the entire clan as a rebellious accomplice.

Xue Shixiong must report to the emperor, otherwise he would not send Jialan to himself tonight. It is fake to send Jialan over, and it is true to discuss the countermeasures with him.

Pei Shiju turned around slowly and waved to Shi, the blue-robed clerk standing outside the garden gate. Shi, the blue-robed clerk, arrived quickly.

"All official duties will be postponed until the first time of the Yin hour."

"Please ask General Xue to meet in the garden."
