Yang Xuan thought about various beginnings of the emperor, but he never expected that it would be like this.
rebellion?
Could it be that the emperor noticed something?
No, if he noticed something, then instead of asking questions at this moment, he would use his sword and ax to chop me into pieces.
This is an emperor, not a gangster on the street. When he finds someone trying to rebel, his first reaction is to kill.
So, that's a knock.
I'll try it first... Yang Xuan was stunned, "Your Majesty... I am very loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"
If the emperor really found something, he should scold him at this moment, and then use the opportunity to call for action.
But the back of Yang Xuan's head didn't respond at all.
This is a test!
Yang Xuan thought to himself that the emperor just wanted to deceive me?
The emperor looked at him and said for a long time: "You are seeking hegemony in Northern Xinjiang and you are not following my will!"
It is indeed a temptation and blackmail... Yang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, "The soldiers and people in Northern Xinjiang are very resentful. If I just obey, they will attack in groups."
This is a lie!
If the emperor doesn't want to break up, he can't reveal it, otherwise there will be no room for change between Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Why did you attack Bei Liao without permission?"
"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of food in Northern Xinjiang, but there is some in Northern Liao."
Yang Xuan glanced at the emperor.
The clouds are still calm and the wind is gentle, this is the rhythm of becoming a Taoist priest.
The emperor was silent.
Yang Xuan was silent.
It was very quiet inside the temple. You could hear footsteps outside and sounds from further away.
It's a pity that there are no birds chirping.
"Yang Qing."
"I'm here."
"Northern Xinjiang is the Northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I swear that I will live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
This oath is the basis for Boss Yang's dominance in the world. It was this oath that made Huang Chunhui determined to push him out.
As expected, the emperor's face brightened slightly, "You go ahead."
That's it?
Yang Xuan thought it was too simple, but then he thought about it. The emperor had lived in seclusion in the opera garden for a long time, and only met a few important ministers occasionally on weekdays. Meeting him and saying a few words was already a great honor.
"I resign!"
Yang Xuan bowed and left.
The emperor watched him go out and said coldly: "Oaths can bind people because the temptation is not enough.
This son is domineering and has no shortage of people in the city, so the mirrors keep an eye on him.
In addition, Beiliao needs to release some goodwill."
Han Shitou's heart trembled, "I'll go right now."
The emperor shook his head and said, "I'll go later."
Yes, now that Yang Xuan has just gone out and Han Shitou goes out to explain things, the outside world will think that the emperor is dealing with Yang Xuan.
Every word and deed of the emperor will be interpreted from multiple angles, so there are rules that the emperor needs to be cautious in his words and deeds.
The emperor said solemnly: "Maybe there is an opportunity to take action over the mirror?"
Han Shitou stood with his hands down, "The people at the mirror said it is difficult."
"if……"
The emperor looked calm.
"The mirror said, I'm 30% sure."
"Thirty percent!"
The emperor pondered for a long time, "That's it!"
Thirty percent, if the incident fails, Yang Xuan will rebound, and if Chang'an is in the wrong, even if he is plotting rebellion, everyone in the world will sympathize with him.
"No one has the intention to hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to others!" The emperor sneered: "He ruined the Yang family's face. I know that the head of the state may seem calm and tolerant, but deep down he is vicious.
Yang Xuan burned the door of his house and knocked down the wall. This is a slap in the face. If he can bear it, I can abdicate!"
Han Shitou was silent.
The emperor got up and walked out.
Han Shitou ordered: "If you go to the imperial concubine, tell her that your majesty is not in a good mood."
The emperor walked in front, looked at those palaces, and said with disgust: "I wish I could destroy all of this!"
He wandered around, but not to the pear garden.
Instead, he went to the Supreme Emperor.
It was rare that the Supreme Emperor did not drink. He was walking outside the palace. When he saw him coming, he turned sideways and sneered, "Last night I saw the fire outside. Looking in the direction, it looked like the Yang family.
Why did you and Yang Songcheng fall out? This is not like your character.
To deal with Yang Songcheng, you will hide behind, confuse, or force others to take action."
The emperor waved his hand, and Han Shitou and others stopped.
He walked up the steps and said, "Ah, a while ago, Yang Songcheng gathered the Chunyu family and the Zhao family besieged the Zhou family."
"You were the one who instigated this, right?" The Supreme Emperor smiled, "If the Zhou family was destroyed, you wouldn't come here. So, who saved the Zhou family? You?"
"Wang!"
"Wang Douluo has courage!" The Supreme Emperor nodded, "So, who was taking revenge last night?"
"Zhou's son-in-law."
"Yang Xuan?"
"yes."
"It is only natural that a son-in-law avenges his father-in-law. If Yang Songcheng dares to fight back, he can use this as an excuse to take action. With the Northern Xinjiang Army in hand, is Yang Songcheng afraid? Are you afraid?"
The Supreme Emperor laughed sarcastically.
"I came here to talk about Yang Xuan."
The Supreme Emperor said noncommittally: "Want to ask me for advice?"
"Yes." The emperor looked at the palace with his hands behind his hands. Several palace maids were sweeping the floor, most likely because they had soiled the ground previously.
The Supreme Emperor touched his gray hair and pondered for a long time.
The emperor said: "This son was originally a hunter in the countryside. By chance, he met the Wang family and was recommended to study in the Imperial College. Then he became an official, a bad man, a bad commander, and a county captain. He rescued the noble concubine, and then went to Northern Xinjiang to serve as an official.
"
"Looking at his resume, this guy has some luck."
"yes."
"How is this attack going?"
"Sharp."
"Yes, otherwise Huang Chunhui would not recommend him."
"After he took charge of northern Xinjiang, he changed his stubborn routine and attacked frequently."
"It is inevitable for young people to be enterprising."
The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor with strange eyes, "Are you jealous?"
The emperor frowned.
"Are you jealous that Yang Xuan can be like this at such a young age? I have said that an emperor should be cautious, but you are petty, otherwise how could those things happen."
"He is a minister and I am the emperor. Why are you jealous?"
The emperor was a little impatient.
The Supreme Emperor glanced at him and asked, "How is Yang Xuan's governance?"
"It's quite outstanding. Northern Xinjiang's ability to survive the drought this time is mostly due to his role."
"The civil and military skills are good. If these ministers were a hundred years ago, most of them would be generals and prime ministers, and they would be majestic in all directions.
But Beijiang has been at odds with you for many years and is very wary of you. In this case, this son will definitely not surrender to you.
When young people have been in charge of a party for a long time, they will have some thoughts.
It was okay when the Tang Dynasty was strong, but if it declined, if he didn't move, his subordinates would persuade him to rebel and stand on his own feet, do you understand?"
"I know this." The emperor was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
The Supreme Emperor took a few steps back and forth, "The fact that he came to Chang'an this time shows that he still has the Tang Dynasty in his heart. However, you can't be careless. In fact, you can use Yang Songcheng and others to deal with him. In addition, what about Western Xinjiang?"
"Xijiang is Zhao Song."
"Oh! I remember that person, Ba Da. Where is Southern Xinjiang?"
"The Southern Xinjiang Jiedushi is the son-in-law of Yang Songcheng, but his ability is mediocre. The imperial concubine adopted an adopted son, a foreigner, and now he is the deputy Jiedushi, and he is quite outstanding. I have promoted him and asked him to take over Yang Songcheng's son-in-law.
.”
"The heart is separated from the belly!"
The Supreme Emperor said: "What kind of adopted son? He is a foreigner. Such people cannot be trusted. At least, you cannot rely on Qiancheng. You cannot rely on such people for important matters."
The emperor smiled and said, "He is a foreigner and has no roots. With my order, he can die without a burial place in an instant."
"So, what are you worried about?" The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Let Yang Songcheng and others take the lead, and you will plan and instigate from behind to slowly take back Northern Xinjiang. Isn't this what you are good at?"
The emperor said: "I want to show my favor to Northern Liao."
"Are you worried about losing your reputation?"
The Supreme Emperor sighed, "You took your own daughter-in-law to be your concubine, and your reputation has already been ruined. How can you expect to leave a name in history?"
As for Bei Liao, whether you show kindness or not, they will not hesitate at all when it is time to go south.
If the Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, they would be smiling, singing and dancing without you having to show your favor..."
The emperor turned around and said, "I originally wanted the King of Yue to go, but now I changed my mind."
"You want to destroy this son?" The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said sarcastically: "Is this the Queen's last legitimate son? If you destroy him, Yang Song will have no hope. You will lose an ally.
How many sons do you have left? The boss said they died of illness. I think with your nature, you probably killed them!
The second child is an idiot who pretends to be vulgar, but it is said that he has some loyalty?
Loyalty is the emperor's great enemy, so I don't need to worry about it.
Then there is the concubine King Jing, who seems to be a transparent person in the palace.
Then, you are prepared to watch the second child and the third child fight, and then you take action when both are hurt.
Then, throw King Jing out. It’s a good idea, but you have to think about Helian Feng. That person..."
The Supreme Emperor's eyes were blurry, "Emperor! His bloodline has been cut off. If you accidentally do the same, I won't be sad, I will only laugh, hahahaha!"
The Supreme Emperor laughed and entered the palace.
The emperor stood outside and said, "What is the use of blood?"
He shook his head and walked down the steps with his hands behind his hands.
"If I die, I won't care about the chaos in the world!"
In the palace, the Supreme Emperor sat down, "Who knows about Yang Xuan?"
No one dared to go into details, but a chamberlain said: "I only know that he is the Zhou family's son-in-law."
The Supreme Emperor, who had gained nothing, sighed: "Zhou Qin is a ruthless man, and he was so ruthless that I could let my mother take notice of him and join forces to plan a plan for the aristocratic family.
If he can fancy Yang Xuan as his grandson-in-law, he must be a good son. Since he knew this, why didn't he suppress it early? It's too late to make plans now!"
He looked blankly inside the palace, and time seemed to be like water, flowing slowly where he couldn't see.
"I am old. Last night, I dreamed of my grandma. My grandma asked me why I couldn't wait for my death. I said, grandma, I was afraid that you would take me away before you left. I was really afraid."
A group of maids and maids looked as usual.
I heard the secret again, but after hearing it too much, I knew that I was bound to die, so I put aside these worries and lived well.
"I pretend to be weak to reassure my mother and my ministers. My performance is so superb that no one doubts it. But I..."
The Supreme Emperor raised his head and smiled bitterly: "But I have forgotten that this son is heartless. He can deal with his uncle who is good to him, and he can deal with his grandparents who are good to him. What does this Aye mean to me? I am so careless.
!”
He was silent.
Everyone performed their duties, and the hall soon became quiet.
The Supreme Emperor moved and raised his white head slightly.
Those old eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Now, your retribution has come. You think you can control the internal and external troubles. What does the emperor rely on to control and balance the world? You think it is a means."
"Back then, my mother-in-law once said that the emperor relies on his army to control the world!"
"Now the army in the northern Xinjiang is your enemy, the army in the southern Xinjiang is in chaos, and the army in the western Xinjiang is Yang Songcheng's people. Apart from the Chang'an guards, you have no other means. Don't you feel your butt is getting cold?"
"I forgot to teach you this lesson. Now, I don't want to teach it to you. Let's just watch the world turmoil in the palace! Hahahaha!"
…
Yang Xuan left the palace and went to his father-in-law first.
"The emperor is confident. He feels that he can figure out your thoughts just by meeting him once. In addition, he can use the majesty of the emperor to intimidate you. That's all, nothing more."
Zhou Zun was very busy, so Yang Xuan immediately left.
"Right."
Zhou Zun called him to stop, and Yang Xuan turned around.
Zhou Zun frowned and thought for a while, "Wang's side, if you are free, you can go there. No matter what, it is always good to form a good relationship."
Wang...
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I haven't been there for a long time."
"Go for it!"
Zhou Zun waved his hand to drive people away.
After leaving his duty room, Yang Xuan met several familiar officials.
At this moment, they all stared intently, as if Yang Xuan was a transparent person.
Yang Xuan originally wanted to go to Youwuwei, but he thought it was not done in an honest way. Once Wei Zhong was labeled as being close to him, how would Yang Songcheng and the emperor stab him?
That’s all.
Yang Xuan suddenly found that he had become the most unpopular person in Chang'an.
What he wanted to see most at the moment was Zhao Sanfu and ask about what happened back then.
In the past, Zhao Sanfu was a little transparent, and the two of them met in private without attracting attention. Now one is the lord of Northern Xinjiang, and the other is a big boss who can compete with Wang Shou on the stage.
Be cautious when meeting someone.
"Go to Wang's house!"
Yang Xuan simply prepared to go to Wang's house.
Taking some specialties brought from northern Xinjiang, Yang Xuan arrived at the Wang family.
"Deputy Ambassador Yang!"
The door is very welcoming.
"Is the prince here?"
"exist!"
When Wang Douxiang received the news of Yang Xuan's visit, he smiled and said to his staff: "He just came out of the palace and came to the Wang family. This is a clear hint to the emperor and Yang Songcheng that he is on the opposite side of them."
"This guy is very brave," the staff member said with a smile.
Later, Wang Douxiang met Yang Xuan in the front yard.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the prince's demeanor remains the same." Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"You have become more stable." Wang Douxiang felt that Yang Xuan had changed too much.
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Xuan asked about Wang's smelting situation.
"Thanks to the tips you gave me at that time, Wang's ironware can now compete with Chunyu's."
The Wang family has mines in hand and its smelting capabilities have improved. It will be easy to expand.
Wang Douxiang smiled and said, "Besides reporting on your work, what else do you want to do when you come to Chang'an this time?"
This is a hint that if Wang can help, just ask.
This answer was very angry and reminded Yang Xuan of the attitude of the Wang family's subordinates when he was in Taiping and Chenzhou.
At that time, there was also a conflict over the supply share of iron ore.
Although the steward was taken away, the relationship between the two families gradually drifted apart. It was not until the Wang family rescued the Zhou family that they became warm again.
Yang Xuan looked at Wang Douxiang and said, "Wang, are you willing to join forces with me?"
