Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the steps and stared at the dark clouds in the sky. The dark clouds covered the sky, the stars and moons were gone, and the sky had drizzled. If it was in the north, it should be the first snow, but in the south, in the air
There is still a hint of warmth floating around. (Free download of full text e-book)
The door behind him opened, and Wang Shichong's series of apologies came, "I don't know if the Censor Yang is here, I will be in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you! I will forgive you!"
Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw that Wang Shichong had become much fatter than three years ago. He was no longer the cunning and thin War Department official Wailang, but a tall and fat Wang Junzhu who was quite a bit of official and prime minister.
"Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for three years, are you fine?" Yang Yuanqing bowed and smiled.
Wang Shichong bowed with a wry smile, "Don't mention the incident three years ago, Censor Yang should not mention it again, as it is ashamed to think of it."
"I don't want to mention it anymore, but Wang Juncheng didn't seem to have learned his lesson, which disappointed Yuan Qing."
When Wang Shichong heard something from Yang Yuanqing's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "There is no place for talking outside. Censor Yang asked him to go to the study to talk!"
"Please, Wang Junzhu!"
"please!"
Yang Yuanqing followed Wang Shichong to his study and sat down. Wang Shichong's wife had already collected the wine and food on the table and brought two more cups of tea.
Wang Shichong picked up the tea bowl and smiled: "The river is not like the north, there is also butterfly. There is basically sencha here, and I'm used to it."
Yang Yuanqing nodded and smiled: "Actually, butterfly juice is also good for people's health. Tea is also good. It should not be drunk alone. It is best to mix it."
After the two exchanged a few greetings, Wang Shichong felt a little uneasy, and the topic turned to the main business. "Judge Yang just said that I have not learned a lesson from the Wu Ju case. Can I ask Jingshi Yang for advice?"
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Does Wang Junzhu know why I came here today?"
Wang Shichong nodded, "I understand in my heart, please give me advice."
Wang Shichong's answer was exciting. He knew that he had made the right move tonight. He immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "I think Brother Wang's biggest mistake is that he did not grasp the general trend and did not see it for a long time.
A month ago, the Yuan family was still in power, but a court meeting disappeared. Yu Shiji was demoted to obscurity. It is said that no one was willing to repair the house leaks, but in the blink of an eye, he rose to the high position again, and these ups and downs
, Didn’t Brother Wang find out its rules?”
Wang Shichong lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Actually, I understand that the emperor is deliberately suppressing the Guanlong nobles, but I always feel that the emperor needs to establish a balance of power. He cannot kill all the Guanlong nobles, just like Yang
As the general said just now, the Yuan family fell and the Dugu family rose again. He always replaced the Guanlong family with one Guanlong family, but not the Shandong genius. So I think the Guanlong nobles are still strong, General Yang thought
Woolen cloth?"
The two changed their names without realizing it. In fact, it was the first time they met today, but both sides understood each other's thoughts and knew that they would be more of a cooperation, so they were more honest when they were talking.
Yang Yuanqing hopes that Wang Shichong can cooperate with his trip to Jiangdu and become a key figure in his great victory, while Wang Shichong hopes to find his correct career from Yang Yuanqing so that he will no longer fall into the embarrassing situation of falling back on his back.
Yang Yuanqing took down a sword and put it on the table, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang said what is this?"
"This is the Sword of Emperor Shangfang!" Wang Shichong sighed with envy.
"If Pan Ying Sword is included, it is actually the third time I have obtained the Emperor's Sword. Once a long time, no one can compare with me. Does Brother Wang know what the reason is?"
Wang Shichong shook his head, "I really don't know. Many people say that General Yang had the merit of saving the Lord back then, so the holy family remained strong. Some people say that General Yang had the backstage of Princess Leping, so Meng Shang looked at him differently, but I always felt that no one had
Speaking of the point, if General Yang is willing to tell me this secret, Shichong is very grateful."
Yang Yuanqing laughed and said earnestly: "Actually it's not a secret, it's all public. Simply put, it's just a sentence, 'Always persist, never change', whether it's the King of Qi or the nobles of Guanlong, I'm all
I insisted on these eight words, so I won the trust of the emperor, so I gave me the Sword of the Emperor three times.
Brother Wang, a stupid person only looks in front of him and panics when the tree falls. A smart person leaves a way out and paves the way for himself early. When things come, he can calmly retreat and start a new job. Wang
Brother used to rely on Yuwen Shu, but now he depends on Zhang Jin. If Zhang Jin falls again, who will Brother Wang rely on? Have you ever considered it?"
Wang Shichong smiled bitterly, "I just don't know what lessons to learn from the martial arts case, so I asked General Yang for advice. General Yang said a lot, but did not tell me the final answer."
"Didn't I tell you the answer?"
Yang Yuanqing gently pushed Shang Fang's sword forward, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I came to Jiangnan with the sword, are you here to play?"
Wang Shichong nodded silently. He understood what Yang Yuanqing meant. Under the cover of the so-called balance of power, the emperor was still severely suppressing the Guanlong nobles. He just overturned Yuanshou in the court. After changing his goal, he aimed at Zhang Jin again.
It’s just that the front line moved from the court to the local area.
The answer Yang Yuanqing gave him was very simple. Don’t rely on the Guanlong nobles anymore. Help Yang Yuanqing overthrow Zhang Yunyi and turn to the emperor. This is the biggest and most solid backer.
How could Wang Shichong, who was the one who was going to fight against the emperor for Zhang Jin?
After Wang Shichong figured this out, he made up his mind and stood up and said, "General Yang, please come with me, I will take you to see someone."
"who?"
"General Yang will know when he comes with me."
Wang Shichong took Yang Yuanqing to the east courtyard and walked to a small courtyard. There were two big men standing at the gate of the courtyard, one on the left and the other on the right, especially vigilant.
"How are they?"
"Report to the envoy, it's very quiet!"
Wang Shichong nodded and walked into the yard with Yang Yuanqing.
A three or four-year-old boy was happily playing with a bamboo horse in the yard. A young woman was squatting beside him. Suddenly, someone walked in. The woman hugged the child in her arms, staring at Yang Yuanqing with caution, and Wang Shichong picked it up.
Zhuma handed it to the child, smiled at the woman and said, "If you want to avenge your husband, this is the best opportunity."
He pointed to Yang Yuanqing, "This is a high-ranking official from the capital."
The woman knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing with her child in her arms, crying bitterly, "Master Qingtian! My husband was killed."
Yang Yuanqing looked at Wang Shichong in confusion, and Wang Shichong smiled faintly: "This is the wife and children of the murderer Wang Shunlang, the murderer of Wei Jingshi. Wang Shunlang has been silenced by Zhang Yunyi, and his wife and children were almost killed in Danyang County. I send someone to take the lead in taking them.
Rescue.”
"Do you know?" Yang Yuanqing stared at Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong nodded, "In fact, I knew from the beginning that the memorial written by Yu Shishi Wei was dropped off, and the carbon in the brazier had not been lit yet. Obviously, he killed someone while changing the brazier. It was only Wang Shunlang.
And he might have guessed that he might be silenced, so he kept his hands."
Wang Shichong took out a memorial and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "Censor Wei left three memorials in total, Wang Shunlang handed two to Zhang Yunyi. He hid the other one, and the most critical one, in the tree hole in the inn.
Tell your wife in advance.”
Yang Yuanqing flipped through the memorial, and he took out the forged memorial again. He had to be amazed at the forger's cleverness, which was exactly the same, and there was no difference.
Wang Shichong smiled slightly, "I know this forger. This person's surname is Zhao. If Censor Yang is interested in knowing him, I can find this person."
Yang Yuanqing raised his eyes and stared at Wang Shichong. After a while, he shook his head and said lightly: "Mr. Wang is thinking too much. How could I do such a thing? If I commit the crime of deceiving the king, I, Yang Yuanqing, will not be worth the loss."
Yang Yuanqing laughed again, "Actually, I have another important matter to come to find Wang Juncheng."
At this time, Wang Shichong had fully cooperated. He saluted respectfully, "Judge Yang just gave orders!"
"I hope that from tomorrow, Wang Juncheng can take charge of the overall situation in Jiangdu."
Wang Shichong was shocked. He understood what Yang Yuanqing meant and nodded slowly, "Sir, obey the order!"
....
After leaving Wang Shichong's mansion, Yang Yuanqing got on a carriage and slowly headed towards his residence under the escort of more than a hundred guards. Yang Yuanqing looked at the memorial again and shouted in a low voice, "Sanlang!"
Yang Sanlang appeared next to the carriage, "Is there anything wrong with the young master?"
Yang Yuanqing handed him the forged memorial and looked at it, "The person who made the forged memorial was surnamed Zhao. You and Silang find a way to find this person for me, act more secretly, and don't disturb anyone."
Yang Sanlang nodded and waved his hand to Yang Silang. The two figures quickly disappeared into the darkness. Yang Yuanqing stared at the sky, and the rain in the night sky became heavier and heavier.
......
Time has gradually reached the third hour, and the city of Jiangdu was pitch black, with winter rain drizzling, and the rain was filled with mist. The entire city was covered with a kind of gray mist. At this time, hundreds of black shadows appeared in front of the prefect's mansion and quickly
The prefect's mansion surrounded.
There was still a little light in the prefect's mansion, and the light was coming out of the study. Zhang Yunyi was not asleep yet, and sat at the table and wrote quickly. He was writing a letter to his father about the situation in Jiangdu. Yang Yuanqing controlled the Jiangdu local army and sent him
In a situation where he was passively beaten, he felt that something might happen sooner or later, and hoped that his father could be prepared for it in time.
This evening, his people rushed back from Danyang County and told him something bad. Wang Shunlang's wife and children were not found. They disappeared strangely. This news made Zhang Yunyi's heart hang up, although Wang Shunlang's wife and children
It might be a runaway, but a gut feeling made him feel dangerously close.
Zhang Yunyi sighed, put down his pen and contemplated. At this moment, a muffled scream came from the yard. Although the sound was very small, he could hear it particularly clearly when it was late at night.
Zhang Yunyi was shocked. He stood up and walked towards the wall, trying to get the sword on the wall. At this time, the window was 'crack!' and several soldiers jumped in from the window and raised their crossbows.
At aim at him, he shouted sternly: "Don't move! If you move again, you'll shoot an arrow!"
Zhang Yunyi stopped, and the study door was kicked open with a 'bang!'. Dozens of soldiers rushed in and surrounded him with spears. Zhang Yunyi sneered, "Is Yang Yuanqing so impatient?"
An officer with silver helmet walked in and bowed his hands slightly and said, "My general thinks it is not safe for Mr. Zhang to live here, so he wants to change his place to Mr. Zhang."
At this time, a brigade coach walked in and reported: "Report to General Su, we found two men in the basement of the Houdian, who admitted that they were the owners of Wanji Ship!"
