Da Wei Chun

Chapter 695 Lead the snake out of the hole
The eldest brother is like a father, and Yang Bo has been the patriarch for many years, Yu Wei is still there, but the brothers disagree, Yang Chun and Yang Shu are full of complaints, but they can only obey orders.

In this way, it was Yang Shuyu Xihai's act of sowing dissension.But he didn't want to, Li Chengzhi immediately turned his face.

Fortunately, the same goal by different routes, the war started again, I only thought that both the imperial court and Xihai would suffer losses, but who would have expected that the two sides would stop fighting suddenly when the war was raging?
What's more, the imperial court actually compensated Xihai for food and gave gifts to the people as if they were proclaiming their ministers?
In this way, Yang Bo's plan is like a mirror, and all of them come to naught.

For Yang Jin and others, it is not a loss.After all, at the beginning of the plan, they advised Yang Bo to help the court with all their strength and punish the chaotic officials and thieves.

Even if the imperial court is weak now, it is only an expedient measure, and the Yang family can still be the mainstay of the imperial court.

However, like Yang Chun and Yang Shu, they were so angry that they dared not speak out.

I said earlier that Li Chengzhi is the God of Plague, so it's better not to mess with him if he can't be messed with, now it's all right?
Even the imperial court is like this, Li Chengzhi can handle it as he wants, let alone a mere Yang family?
When the Xihai army entered the pass, how could the Yang family survive?
Therefore, after receiving the urgent report that the two sides stopped fighting, Yang Chun said that his elder brother was about to die and was dying. If he heard this sad news again, it would make things worse. It is best not to let the elder brother know.

In fact, I want to make a good claim, make a decision with one word, and then send Yang Shu or Yang Jun secretly to the West Sea. It is best to reunite with Li Chengzhi and talk happily.

However, Yang Jin argued vigorously, saying that as long as the eldest brother still has his breath, he is the patriarch of the Yang clan. How can such a big matter be concealed and not reported?
After coming and going, the two brothers froze.

At the time of the stalemate, the old servant came to report, saying that "the envoy has arrived".

Yang Chun was overjoyed: "Please!"

The old servant is called the envoy, but he doesn't have a surname, so there is no one other than Yang Jun.

Now the seven Yang brothers, Yang Bo, Yang Chun and Yang Jin have all recovered.But Yang Bo was ill for a long time, so he couldn't take office immediately.

Also because Gao Zhao, Wang Su, Xing Luan, Wang Ji and others impeached Yang Bo during the first emperor's time for instructing domestic slaves to seize the people's good land, impeached Yang Chun to communicate with Rouran outside Beizhen to attract spies, and Yang Jin to steal pasture land in Yongzhou, The crimes of robbing civilian women and other crimes have not been cleared, so the three brothers refused to take office.

Under Yang Shu, who was conscripted by the imperial court after returning from the West Sea, was called the long history of General Zuojun (Cui Yanbo), but actually ran for Sima Jun Yuanqin to collect food.

The third brother, Yang Yingqian, was Liangzhou Biejia, the fourth brother, Yang Shun, was the deputy general of Shanshan, and the eighth brother, Yang Wei, was the prefect of Longxi County, but they were all in name only.

The purpose is only to Yourong Yang's family, under the pretext of stabilizing Guanzhong.

Because none of the Yang brothers had the title of "envoy", let alone the actual title of envoy, Yang Chun knew that it was Yang Jun who was the governor of Huazhou at that time.

Compared with Yang Shu, Yang Jun admired Li Chengzhi even more, and he was devoted to the ground. In addition, Yang Bo was already the great-great-great-grandson of the great ancestor, so the relationship was farther away, and his standpoint was more fair, so Yang Chun specially invited him here. Intended to persuade Yang Bo and the other brothers.

Although Yang Jun was not very old, a few years younger than Yang Wei, the youngest of the seven brothers, no one looked down on him, and they all stood up to greet him.

Entering the middle hall, there was a chatter and a few questions about Yang Bo's condition.As soon as Fang sat down, Yang Chun said impatiently, "Have you ever read the imperial court newspaper?"

"I've seen it, but it's for good news. It's for good news and not bad news!"

Yang Jun sighed, "I've heard about the details before!"

"If the imperial court doesn't announce the good news, is it possible to tell the world the truth that Li Chengzhi almost broke through Gaoping and seized Jingzhou?"

Yang Chun sneered, and said again: "Now it's like begging for mercy, and tens of thousands of households, hundreds of thousands of deniers of millet are transported to Longxi. I'm afraid that next time, we will be able to give up Qizhou at Li Chengzhi's request. Next time, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be the entire Guanzhong..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Jin's face became even uglier.He intends to argue a few words for the court, but he has nowhere to say it.

After pondering for a long time, he said angrily: "The imperial court also acted helplessly. It was intended to show the enemy's weakness, and it was just a plan to delay the army. Why should the second brother alarmist?"

Everyone knows that this is a tactic to slow down the army, but the question is whether it can be slowed down?

Yang Chun also lazily argued with him, and asked Yang Jun, "What do you think of Ji Sun?"

Yang Jun shook his head, and only uttered one word: "Difficult!"

It is self-evident who is hard to say.

The hearts of the few people who wanted to help the court to quell the chaos felt even more sinking.

Yang Jun was able to come here during his busy schedule, so he knew it well.He is also unwilling to argue with the Yang brothers here, so as not to create a gap.Therefore, he intentionally asked: "How is the eldest brother?"

Yang Chun didn't hide it, and sighed sadly: "Since the beginning of winter, every day has passed. If I don't use the intoxicating medicinal wine, I can't help myself from the pain, and I can't sleep all night..."

"Intoxicated medicinal wine?"

Yang Jun's heart moved, "Where did you come from?"

Yang Shu stood up and made a bow to Yang Jun: "Last winter, I accompanied Yuan Bogong (Li Shao) on a mission to the West Sea, and begged Li Chengzhi to make a special preparation... If there is no such medicine..."

As soon as he said something, Yang Jin rolled his eyes, Yang Shu choked, and it was difficult to say the rest.

But Yang Jun couldn't hear it: If it weren't for Li Chengzhi's medicinal wine, Yang Bo would have died in pain.

However, since it is public, private is private, Yang Jin does not want Yang Shu to mention it at this time, let alone mention it in front of Yang Bo, so as not to affect Yang Bo's mind.

This Yang Wulang thinks thoroughly...

Yang Jun sighed secretly, and persuaded Yang Chun: "Second brother made it clear in the letter, this is related to my Yang family's prosperity and sorrow for a hundred years, so I can't be careless. In order to avoid disaster, I think it is better to ask elder brother to make a decision. ..."

Just the four words "disaster caused Xiao Qiang" expresses the inner truth, and all the people in the hall are shocked.

It can't be said that both the court and Li Chengzhi have ceased their troops, but the Yang brothers fought first...

"Never mind!"

Yang Chun sighed sadly, and said loudly: "Shiye (the eldest son of Yang Bo), go in and have a look. If the eldest brother wakes up, tell me I'll see you later..."

After half an hour, Yang Kan went back and invited the brothers to the North Courtyard.

Li Chengzhi has never tried it before, so it is difficult to deduce the specific cause of Yang Bo.But according to Yang Shu's description, it is concluded that Yang Bo is probably cancer.

This disease can only wait for death, so Li Chengzhi reluctantly made some medicinal wine with Datura pollen, and took Yang Shu back to Huazhou to relieve Yang Bo's pain.

At first Yang Bo didn't take it seriously, but since half a year ago, when the pain got worse and worse, he couldn't sleep at night, and when he rolled on the bed all night in pain, he only knew the magical effect of this thing.

Now the person is skinny and skinny, but there is still a blush on his face, and his eyes are shining brightly, just like the light returning to him.

But like a servant, and like Yang Kan who waits in front of the bed every day, he is used to it.

It's just because Yang Bo would drink the medicinal wine once the illness flares up, and he would be like this after drinking it, which seemed to be more exciting than ordinary people.

But in just three to five moments, when the effect of the medicine wears off, Yang Bo seems to have taken away two souls and six souls, either in a daze, or half asleep and half awake until he falls asleep.

There is no thunder every day, once in the daytime and once in the night, and there are at least ten hours when you are unconscious or drowsy.

People close to me know that drinking this medicine is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but it is better than howling day and night, the painful Yang Bo raised his knife and killed himself...

Knowing that he didn't wake up very much every day, the brothers didn't dare to procrastinate too much.They just greeted Qiqi, then retreated to the sides.

Yang Chun and Yang Jin looked at each other, seeing the fifth younger brother's cold eyes and solemn expression, Yang Chun gritted his teeth, got up and handed over the urgent report.

Snakes have snake ways, rats have mouse ways.The Yang family was very prosperous at one time, and they were the leaders of the gentry in Guanzhong for decades, and their disciples and former officials were all over the government and the public, so naturally they had reliable channels.

Even if the imperial court reports good and bad news, it always has to be uploaded and sent down, and people are always sent to do things. How can the inside story be hidden from Yang's?
What's more, more than ten thousand vehicles of food and grass, and hundreds of thousands of people have been transported to Qizhou, so they can't come to fight, right?
So no one doubts the authenticity of the letter...

Just after taking the medicine, when his eyes and ears were clear, Yang Bo didn't ask Yang Kan to do it for him, and directly took the secret report in his hand.

With a rough sweep, he was startled for a moment, then refreshed, originally he was half lying down, but now he sat up straight.

The faces of the brothers changed, and they all cried out in their hearts: "It's over!"

Yang Chun and Yang Jin, who were closer, stood up in shock.

A few months ago, Yang Bo tried his best to overcome all opinions and spent a lot of painstaking efforts in order to get millet out of the fire.In the end, they even moved out of the family law to convince Yang Chun and Yang Shu.

Later, most of the Yang family's accumulation was entrusted to Cui Yanbo, Yuan Yao, etc., and the plan was nothing more than to make Xihai and the court suffer.

But unfortunately, in the end it was nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket.For Yang Bo, it is undoubtedly shocking news.It is also possible to die because of this...

Just when everyone was wondering and their hearts were jumping in fear, Yang Bo gently put down the letter paper without even shaking his hands.

Taking a closer look, there was a smile on his face, it wasn't an angry smile, but it seemed that he had finally got what he wanted.

Thinking that Yang Bo was mad, Yang Jin called out worriedly: "Brother?"

"No problem!"

Yang Bo let out a heavy breath, then glanced at the faces of all the brothers, and finally stopped on Yang Chun's face, "Yan Shou, these days, you must think that I am sick and insane, or more Are you drunk?"

If it was in the past, Yang Chun would definitely say no, but now he was stunned and speechless.

Even Li Shao, who came from the same line as Li Chengzhi, didn't dare to say that he "had no hesitation and attached himself to the whole family" at this time, let alone the Yang family who had little friendship with Li Chengzhi?
The so-called courteousness for nothing is neither adultery nor robbery.No matter how stupid Li Chengzhi is, how could he believe in him?
After a little calculation, you will know that it is fraudulent.But it was too decisive, Li Chengzhi would turn his face on the spot?
After Yang Shu came back, Yang Chun would think from time to time: If it wasn't for being insane, how could the elder brother dare to make the sixth younger brother do such a clumsy trick?
But looking at it now, did the eldest brother do it on purpose?

Not to mention the Yang brothers, even Yang Jun was shocked.After being stunned for a while, he asked in surprise, "Brother, why is this so?"

"Leading the snake out of the hole, just trying to catch it!"

Yang Bo laughed softly, "If it wasn't for this, how could Li Chengzhi be afraid to make a wedding dress for my Yang family? Otherwise, even if the imperial army is able to defend Guanzhong, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses...

If not, how could the queen mother be despondent, rebellious against innocence, and risk the world's disgrace? "

After a few words, Yang Bo laughed, but before he laughed, he coughed violently.

But it was not as heart-piercing as in the past, as if he wanted to cough up his heart.After spitting out a few mouthfuls of bad phlegm, Yang Bo felt refreshed all over.

"If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Wenming (Empress Feng) who did not avoid relatives, my Yang family's children would be county guards and county magistrates at most. Even if they don't end up like Ru Hao and Zhao Xiu (the lucky ministers in Yuan Ke's period, all of whom were punished) for copying their families and exterminating their families, they will inevitably be classified as sycophants, and it will be difficult to revive them.

For example, the first emperor (Yuan Ke) hated my Yang family like a tiger, and even ordered Gao Zhao and his ilk to frame us, but the situation was like this, it was not tit for tat against my Yang family, and it was only enough to stop it, and did not kill them all.In the final analysis, I, the Yang family, have been favored by the emperor for generations, and the Yuan family has never treated us poorly. How can we be ungrateful, benevolent and unrighteous, and be the rebellious officials and thieves that everyone can punish? "

Yang Bo paused, took a few breaths before he said: "It is because Liu Fang came to the door with the Queen Mother Yizhi, and persuaded me to put the overall situation first, so as to help the court stabilize Guanzhong. The time has come..."

If you only listen to the following few sentences, you must be confused and confused.But combined with the words of "to play hard to catch, to lure the snake out of the hole", the expressions of Yang Chun and the others changed drastically, turning pale and green.

It turned out that Yang Bo didn't want to rebel at all, but wanted to clear the emperor's side.

The current situation is all due to Gao Ying's ignorance of knowledge, incompetence, and eagerness for quick success.

However, Gao Ying didn't take responsibility at all, but if he made mistakes, he would blame his ministers.And if things go on like this, the country will not be the country, the ministers will not be ministers, and there will be no more ministers who dare to speak out and do things bravely.

If this continues, it is estimated that in two or three years at most, this world will be completely rotten.

If apart from Gao Ying, Yuan Wei might still have a glimmer of hope in this world.If you let it torment, you can only wait for death.

Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won't go anywhere, so why not give it a go?
But the king's side is not so easy to clean up. One bad thing will make things worse and add fuel to the fire, so be careful.

The first is to be stable, to convince the nobles, powerful families, and common people in the world, so as not to cause an uproar.The second is to be quick, so that the dust will settle before Li Chengzhi realizes it later and wants to take advantage of it.

Therefore, the imperial court had to be defeated again, so that Gao Ying could be forced to stand up and take risks, so as to have sufficient reasons.

But it can't be self-defeating. After all, the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly, and the morale of the army or the morale of the people has reached the bottom.

That's why Yang Shu went to the West Sea as an envoy to sow dissension, which made Li Chengzhi suspicious.Then Xing Luan and Yuan Yao retreated as if they were defeated, so Gao Ying was in constant panic.Even more important ministers were eloquent, finally bewitched Gao Ying, and took this last step.

Granting the country, cutting the land... Losing power and humiliating the country, betraying the country to survive, nothing more.

Gao Ying, the empress dowager, has already come to an end...
