Yang Ming couldn't talk to Yang Yinjiang about matters related to Gao Yue. After all, it involved the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, which was of great importance.
Besides, Pei Ju planted an informant in his house. If Yang Yinjiang found out, she would definitely fall out.
Who wants to have a spy hiding in their home?
At noon that day, Yang Ming came to see Pei Shuying. After the latter read the letter, he immediately burned it.
"What I mean is that I suspect that this male slave may be Gao Lande?"
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Although it was not stated clearly in the letter, your father must have figured out a possibility."
Pei Ju is so cautious. He will tell you everything he found out, but he will not tell you his opinion on the matter, because that way, it will be easy to guide Yang Ming and others in the same direction.
To think, which leads to limitations in thinking.
He wanted Yang Ming to judge and figure it out for himself.
This is the problem for people who are used to being secretaries. Pei Ju has served Yang Jian for twenty years. He has prepared everything perfectly, but he has never made a decision.
Yang Jian was in charge of the Sui Dynasty. He was the only one who could make the decision. Pei Ju was just the one who came up with the idea.
"I know," Pei Shuying nodded seriously: "Until the matter comes to an end, we can only rot in our stomachs."
Pei Shuying is also from the north and has never seen the Yangtze River, so she insisted on taking a boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides.
"Very good," Yang Ming nodded, caressing Dugu Feng'er who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Don't let her idle. Occasionally take her to the back garden to let her play and get some air."
As we all know, Murong has the final say in Liaoning.
"Sit down first and let's talk in detail," Yang Guang asked, "Is he from the Wei family?"
In fact, Wei Chong had understood this a long time ago. He just didn't expect that less than a month after Yang Su was ignored by the Supreme, Liu Shu would already be so arrogant.
Pei Shuying shook her head and said: "No, I have a good relationship with Hulu Xiaoqing. He was old and frail, and he also served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was already overwhelmed and died of a normal illness."
He used to hang out with Wei Chong, who was Wei Chong's biological second brother. After Wei Chong's death, Murong Sanzang still maintained a very good relationship with Jingzhao Wei.
How did he run from Jiangling to Jiangxia?
This girl is really powerful. She is so thin that even four strong guards can't subdue her. No wonder grandma hasn't let him see Dugu Feng'er for so many years. She must be afraid that she will be scared and doesn't want to marry her.
.
First Hongnong Yang, then Jing Zhaowei, Liu Shudan is so fat.
At this time, there were four guards in the courtyard who were all decorated. Although they were not killed, it was enough for them to drink a pot.
This is obviously to protect him. After the official department receives the letter, they will definitely let him go.
When Yang Ming came in, his personal guard Chen Kui hurriedly stood in front of Yang Ming and said solemnly:
There are people taking care of the affairs of the General Manager's Mansion, so Yang Ming is not worried. Since Pei Shuying, a landlubber, likes to take boats, he might as well go down the river and take a look at Xiangyang.
Wei Chong said: "The letter has been sent. For the sake of His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, King Hedong should help."
Obviously, these old things have been dug up now, and it is obvious that they are looking for trouble and want to find a reason to deal with Murong Sanzang.
This can't be taught, she won't open her mouth,
Yang Ming didn't understand what she meant at all.
Girl is Yang Ming's name for Dugu Feng'er.
After Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. Before Dugu Feng'er got sick, she was notoriously wild. Even Dugu Jialuo had to teach her personally to suppress her wildness.
Pei Ju said slowly: "In the early days of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, we were independent and did not attach ourselves to any family, so I served him for several years, and even appointed him as the ambassador of Liangzhou Road (temporary imperial envoy). Later I found out
This person always looks forward and backward when doing things, and has an indecisive personality, so he gave up."
Lao Liuwei Yue once served as Prince Xian Ma for Yang Yong. Because he had complained to Yuan Yan (former Yizhou Governor Shi) in front of Yang Yong, Yang Jian found out about it. After an angry rebuke, he was dismissed from his post and made the emperor
He was dissatisfied and his official career was cut off from then on.
From Wei Chong's branch, only the fifth brother Wei Chong and the sixth brother Wei Yue are left. The four older brothers above are all dead.
This is a great merit, it can be worth the death penalty.
Then he stamped it with the seal of the General Manager's Office and handed it to Xu Jing together with the letter from the Ministry of Personnel, saying: "Send someone to the official post in Jiangxia and ask them to rush to the capital."
"Your Highness, be careful. This woman's swordsmanship is superb. She has already injured four people in a row."
"I know, I'll say hello to you about this. You can go back first."
Yang Guang nodded: "So it seems that Gu Ying turned a blind eye to what this fool did?"
Dugu Feng'er nodded, then shook his head.
"Something happened over there, girl. Your Highness, go and have a look."
Yang Guang knew that this old boy was playing tricks on him, but what he said was true.
Because Yang Ming felt a little strange. He was the general manager of Jingzhou and Jiangling County was under his jurisdiction. If the officials wanted to touch Murong Sanzang, they should say hello to him first.
With doubts, Yang Ming asked the latter to board the ship.
"Do you think Liu Shu did this to Wei Chong or to Gu's son?"
Your ancestral graves are in my fiefdom.
Jiande is the reign name of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, who was Yang Lihua's father-in-law.
Wei Chong knew he couldn't say much, so he stopped talking and left.
After he said goodbye and left, Yang Ming fell into deep thought.
"well said!"
With a bitter look on his face, Murong Sanzang presented a document from the Ministry of Officials to Yang Ming, and then begged:
Dugu Feng'er pursed her chapped lips and smiled strangely.
Because Dugu Feng'er often gets sick, she lives far away from Yang Ming, located in the northeast corner of the palace.
This was arranged by Yang Yinjiang. There were thirty slaves responsible for serving Dugu Feng'er, including three cooks, seventeen male slaves, and twenty female slaves. They were all brought by Yang Yinjiang from her natal family. They are absolutely reliable.
.
You'd better not come here for me? If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude to you.
Murong Sanzang was an old Jianghu, and he knew that it would be very difficult to get there, so he divided his troops into two groups. First, he sent someone to send a letter to Wei Chong, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to plead for mercy. On his side, he quickly found Yang Ming, hoping that Yang Ming would help him first.
Dragging.
Yang Ming was stunned and hurriedly took Pei Shuying to the dormitory where Dugu Feng'er lived.
that's the truth.
Yang Guang smiled and said: "So, this person has quite a background?"
"It's better to let it go," Pei Ju said.
His own father is the most powerful man in the Dugu family and is good at using swords. From this, it can be seen that Dugu Feng'er's sword skills should be good.
Murong Sanzang has the title of Ye Wang County Duke, which is definitely higher than that of Wei Chong, but now he has no one as strong as Wei Chong. He is a Qi minister. In the old Qi Dynasty, he once attacked the Duke of Yan County and surrendered to Da Da.
After the Sui Dynasty, he became the county official.
Therefore, Wei Chong is determined to protect Murong Sanzang. If he cannot protect him, the people under him will become disloyal and cause big problems.
One person said: "Murong worshiped the Duke of Xiangyang in his early years and was awarded a title for his meritorious service. Now he is a member of my Wei family. The official department has not said hello to you?"
As a result, as soon as the big ship arrived at Jiangxia Pier, it was stopped by Murong Sanzang, the governor of Jiangling County.
The content of this letter is an indictment. It is said that when Murong Sanzang followed Wei Guan to conquer Lingnan, he killed civilians indiscriminately and lied about military pay. Now he has been reported. The Ministry of Official Affairs asked him to return to Beijing to explain to the Ministry of Punishment.
Just be clear.
Yang Ming asked curiously: "Have you seen her face?"
"Daddy, daddy, daddy."
"He is a talented person," Pei Ju nodded and said with a smile, "This person can do things. Jiangling is the capital of Jingzhou. To be the governor there, you must have some skills."
Yang Ming smiled and held Dugu Feng'er's face, and said softly: "Don't mess around in the future, let alone hurt others, because no one here will hurt you, do you understand?"
In fact, Murong Sanzang was quite unjust. He was a minister of the Qi Dynasty. He had no backing after entering the Sui Dynasty. How could he not look forward and backward when doing things? When he served as the ambassador of Liangzhou Road, it was because no one dared to move or investigate.
Only then did Yang Jian become completely disappointed with him.
Yang Ming smiled, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and asked: "Indiscriminate killing of soldiers and embezzlement of military pay. Is this true? Tell the truth."
Ah Qi said: "Since I came to Jingzhou, the girl's condition has improved a lot, especially after every visit by His Highness, the girl has not been sick for three or two days."
So Yang Ming patiently taught her how to speak.
Yang Ming asked: "How old is Gao Yue? Has Chen Shuyi found out?"
"Okay, you should go back too." After Yang Ming persuaded Pei Shuying to leave, he called his maid Ah Qi and asked:
"Has the girl been seriously ill these past few days?"
As a result, he couldn't win it, and he almost lost the prize.
Wei Guan suppressed the rebellion in Lingnan and directly killed Lingnan. He also had a fight with Madam Xian, who was revered as the Holy Mother of Lingnan, and convinced her. At this point, the Lingnan area completely surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Yue had heard that Dugu Feng'er would say some weird things when she was sick, but he had never heard her speak. Wouldn't this girl not be able to speak in the future?
This is the usual way of doing things in Shangshu Province. First, we will keep the matter in a trivial tone so that you can return to the capital with peace of mind. If you dare to go back and even investigate, you will be arrested and sentenced directly.
Yang Ming's second brother, King Yang Jian of Yuzhang, was Wei Chong's son-in-law, so Murong Sanzang knew that Yang Ming would help him.
Yang Ming said again: "Mom, mom, mom, will you follow me? I know you can understand me."
This is normal. Shady things should never be spoken out.
Murong Sanzang was completely relieved. There was someone in the court who was easy to serve as an official. After all, he had someone to rely on. With Yang Ming protecting him, some disturbances would be resolved.
In any case, Murong Sanzang is also a member of the Wei family, and Liu Shu has become so blatant now? What? Jingzhao Weishi doesn't take it seriously anymore?
Later, after Wei Chong came to power, he took refuge with Wei Chong and still relied on Wei Chong's protection.
After sending everyone away, Dugu Feng'er let Yang Ming pull her back to the house.
After learning about the situation, Pei Ju smiled and said: "This man is the second son of the old Qi Shangshu Zuopushe Murong Shaozong. After the eldest son was killed, Sanzang attacked the Duke of Yan, and the Sui Dynasty was founded. Because he was popular with the old Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen
Yong respected him so much that he was granted the title of county magistrate."
After comforting her for a long time, Yang Ming wanted to get away, but was caught tightly by the other party. He had no choice but to leave her unless he coaxed her to sleep.
Yang Ming was also very decisive in his work. He asked Xu Jing to bring a pen and ink and wrote four words: "Nothing has happened."
"Thirty-one years old," Pei Shuying said, "I was born in Yecheng in the second year of Jiande."
But in the Sui Dynasty, the Guanzhong Group had the final say, so the Murong family could only rely on the Guanzhong clan.
He really takes himself seriously. He has only been pampered for a few days and is now so arrogant?
Yang Ming nodded.
He was far away in Jiangling, how could he offend the officials?
"Although there is suspicion, it is not a big deal. Moreover, it was the Duke of Xiangyang who presided over it at that time, so the crime cannot be blamed on you," Yang Ming said with a smile:
"Furthermore, Mr. Xiangyang has outstanding merits. It is not appropriate to criticize some trivial matters. Please be at ease. No matter who calls you to the capital again, you will come to me first."
Fortunately, after seeing Yang Ming, Dugu Feng'er's eyes instantly softened and she even smiled silly at Yang Ming.
It turned out that one of the maids responsible for serving Dugu Feng'er was quite undisciplined and not very attentive. She complained privately that the crazy woman was difficult to serve. The guards responsible for guarding the place had Yang Yinjiang's command. Anyone who was slack and dissatisfied would be punished with minor punishment.
If you receive a rod, if it is severe, you will receive a whip.
In the following days, Yang Ming will take Yang Yinjiang and others to leave the General Manager's Mansion and ride their horses to the countryside for some fun.
Murong Sanzang's explanation was still credible, but Yang Ming knew that the other party must have hidden some secrets.
Murong Sanzang was watching from the side. He did not expect that Yang Ming was so generous and rejected the official department directly.
Although Pei Shuying is outspoken, she also divides things between people. When chatting about trivial matters, she is carefree and dares to say anything. When it comes to key issues, she will hide a lot. This also made her quickly gain Gao Yue's favor.
The four elder brothers' retainers and staff are basically attached to him now. Once he falls, their group will be scattered like a tree.
Another retainer said: "In the urgent need of the moment, the Minister needs to go to Jingzhou immediately and ask the King of Hedong to come forward as a guarantor. As for the capital, we will find a way to deal with Murong."
"It is said that the imperial seal was sent by Hulu Xiaoqing back then. This male slave is hiding in his house, probably with ulterior motives," Pei Shuying whispered: "Do you think this person is Gao Lande?
I said that this person is around twenty-four or five years old, and the time seems to be right."
After picking him up and putting him on the bed, Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.
"Later, he followed the Duke of Xiangyang, Wei Gu, to recruit Lingnan, and made great achievements, so he was able to be used again. At the age of forty-six, he was transferred to the post of Jiangling Prefecture today."
Yang Ming smiled and raised his hand to touch her cheek. Pei Shuying took advantage of the situation and got into Yang Ming's arms. At this moment, Xu Jingfeng rushed in from outside.
Later, Yang Guang sent someone to summon Pei Ju.
"Do you have any impression of Murong Sanzang?" Yang Guang asked.
Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Pei Gong did not answer Gu's question directly."
An hour later, perhaps because Dugu Feng'er felt that Yang Ming was too boring, she felt sleepy and fell asleep on Yang Ming's lap.
During this period, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi got along very well, and they often went to Gao Yue's place to chat. She went there with a purpose, and her brain was better than Chen Shuyi's, so it was easier to find out some information.
Daxing, Wei Mansion,
After Wei Chong received Murong Sanzang's letter asking for help, he summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures.
"Yes!" After all, Murong Sanzang knew when to tell the truth after having been around for so many years.
"Back then, I followed the Duke of Xiangyang (Wei Gu) to conquer Lingnan, but encountered repeated setbacks. Lingnan was a barbaric land, and the Yi and Di people gathered to cause rebellion and rebels everywhere. They were all local tribes, and all women and children could serve as soldiers. At that time, we
As a result, they suffered great losses, and many of the soldiers under the tent were ambushed and killed. Later, Xiangyang recognized that gentle methods were ineffective against these barbarians, so it summoned a large army, but directly set fire to the mountains when encountering the Yi stronghold. This was indeed an excessive killing, and some
It hurts merit."
If this is the case, then the person who originally wrote to Gao Yue, saying that Gao Lande was in his hands, could it be Yang Su or Yang Yue?
The possibility is not small
Yang Ming whispered: "Don't let Yin Jiang know about Gao Yue's affairs from now on. I will tell her about this later."
Wei Chong snorted coldly and said: "Murong's title is greater than mine, and he can do whatever the officials say. He is really courageous."
"This slave knows," Ah Qi knew the opportunity and stepped back.
Doesn’t babies learn language from their mothers and fathers? So Yang Ming plans to start from the most basic teaching.
Dugu Feng'er smiled, picked up the scabbard on the ground with her toes, performed a beautiful backhand return in the air, and then kicked the blade of the knife, just in time to kick the knife in front of Chen Kui, who reached out to catch it, dumbfounded.
.
A guest said: "The governor of a county has a detailed description of his family background in the official records. It is impossible for them not to know that Murong is one of ours, so it is very possible that he is here for us."
Murong looked grateful and said: "I would like to thank Your Highness for your great kindness."
Tsk tsk, don’t talk nonsense, thirty is not old at all, okay? You don’t understand the kindness of young women.
The slaves and servants had long been frightened by this scene and hid far away, while more than twenty royal guards had already surrounded Dugu Feng'er.
I can't teach her anymore. From now on, I can teach whoever I love. I've dried up my saliva and she won't open her mouth for life.
"Put down the knife," Yang Ming raised his hand to gesture to her.
Yang Ming was stunned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
He has never met the person named Shen Qu. Since he is using him, it is natural to let him know whose food you are eating.
Then he added: "The stick is also spared."
After the court meeting the next day, Wei Chong went to the East Palace to meet Prince Yang Guang.
"No," Pei Shuying said mischievously: "I couldn't help but want to open the door and take a look several times, but I was afraid of upsetting her and missing the point, so I held back. However, the skin on her arms was very tender and smooth.
Like a thirty-year-old woman."
So the maidservant was dragged out by the guards and given a few sticks. Somehow, this move irritated Dugu Feng'er, who immediately grabbed the knife and wounded her. The four guards couldn't fight her, and then reported it to Chen Kui.
.
In the center of the courtyard, Dugu Feng'er stood barefoot, with long hair disheveled, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, looking around with a cold expression, and a fierce look.
Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "The guards responsible for guarding this place from now on are not allowed to carry sharp blades."
Thirty-one years old, in later generations, she can still be called a young woman, but in the Sui Dynasty, she was half an old lady.
Since this man has a Xiangzhou accent and is a stranger, how did he get into the Yue Gong Mansion?
There is only one possibility: he was brought in.
In fact, Pei Ju didn't think that Liu Shu was just getting carried away and wanted to establish his authority in the court, but he also knew that the Supreme Leader had let him go, so the prince should not interfere too much, lest it go against the Supreme Leader's will.
Wei Chong's title is that of Marquis of Yifeng County, and he is of the same third rank as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the Minister has great power, so they all call Wei Chong the Minister.
In fact, he was also very panicked, fearing that the other person would not recognize him when he was sick and would stab him.
Because Murong Sanzang was a descendant of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom during the Sixteen Kingdoms Period.
Chen Kui only knew that an important mad woman was imprisoned here, but he did not know the identity of Dugu Feng'er, so he wanted to take the weapon away from her.
"As for lying about military pay, it has indeed happened. If soldiers died in a foreign country, if they didn't pay more, who would be willing to go deep into the wilderness and go through life and death? So I worked with Duke Xiangyang at that time, lied about the number of enemies killed, and got more from the court.
I collected some reward money and distributed it among the soldiers."
It is not easy to be a servant in the Yue Gong Mansion. In fact, most of the servants and maidservants in the great Sui family came from their hometown. In other words, the servants in the Yang Su Mansion were basically from Hongnong County.
Now, without even saying hello, he asked the prefect of a county to return to the capital and cooperate with the investigation. It was obvious that he did not take him seriously.
"Ah, look at my mouth shape, ah."
Dugu Feng'er frowned and looked at Yang Ming with a strange expression.
Pei Ju calmed down and said: "The act of getting carried away was not directed at anyone. It was just to show off one's power after defeating Yue Gong. Wei Chong did not provoke him, so there was no need. As for the King of Hedong, Liu Shu did not have the courage."
As long as Yang Ming stays here, Dugu Feng'er behaves normally. Except for still not speaking, in other aspects, she has become much more relaxed than when Yang Ming first met her.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "All the ministers in the world are members of the Supreme Being and the Prince. There are no members of the Wei family."
Yang Ming said: "Although your grandfather didn't say it clearly in the letter, I guess he probably guessed that this male slave was Gao Lande. In the eyes of the Gao family, Hu Lu Xiaoqing was a seller seeking glory. He hid in Hu
Most of the people in the Lu family want to harm people, by the way, there is nothing wrong with Hu Lu Xiaoqing’s death, right?"
Therefore, Wei Chong is now the only member of his father Xiaoyao Gong Wei Hong's branch who is still strong.
Among the officials, the only one who dared not take Yang Ming seriously was Liu Shu. It was impossible for anyone else to step over Yang Ming and touch Murong Sanzang directly.
Wei Chong frowned and shook his head: "That's the problem. The officials didn't say hello, and neither did the punishment department."
But the problem was that although Yang Ming had not gotten along with Murong for a long time, he could tell that the other person was a rather smooth and sophisticated person, and this kind of person would rarely offend others.
Yang Guang nodded and said: "I understand, you can go down."
"Although there is suspicion of indiscriminate killing, barbarians are uneducated savages, and it is useless to talk to them about etiquette and morality. This matter was reported truthfully at the time, and the Supreme Being did not think it was inappropriate."
Yang Ming pushed aside Chen Kui who was blocking him and walked towards Dugu Feng'er.
"Your Highness must make the decision for your subordinates."
After Yang Ming read the letter, he knew what was going on. He was just looking for trouble.
Liu Shu was not an idiot. If he could become a minister, he could not be an idiot.
That's why Pei Ju deliberately guided Prince Yang Guang to despise Liu Shu, so as not to be suspected by the Supreme Being.
Pei Ju speaks half truths and half lies. Such a person is a top strategist.
My baby has had a fever since four o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, I prepared Tylenol and Motrin. Otherwise, I would have panicked to death. Unfortunately, there is only one box. There is no substitute for this medicine. It is sad. The baby is only ten months old. Tomorrow
