Chapter 51
The two sat across the table. Except when he was the prime minister of the dynasty, Cui Hong had never given other courtiers such courtesy. At this time, he was not a master of the first grade, nor a general who led hundreds of thousands of people. The traveler who stayed in the rain was still dripping with rain.
He was also not the minister Gu Ming who was cautious in the Palace of Diligence and even trembled in the face of the Queen Mother.
The door was closed, and more than a dozen guards from Cui Hong were standing outside, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
The rain became lighter, only the sound of pattering and pattering was left, which occasionally became rapid, which was also the rainwater accumulated on the eaves pouring down.
"Isn't Yang Gong chasing the traitor Yu Dang in the State of Qi? Why did you come here?" Cui Hong decided to listen to what Chang Shi had to say, but he didn't intend to accept it, nor did he intend to reveal his secret.
Yang Feng stared at Cui Hong, as if the other party was just a low-level official, "Let me get straight to the point. When did Taifu meet Chunyu Xiao?"
Cui Hong laughed twice, "Yang Gongzhen is a joke, Chunyu Xiao is the first offender who bewitched King Qi to rebel. As the general Pingdong who exterminates rebels, how can I get to know him?"
Yang Feng thought for a while, "That's right, with the war, it is impossible for Taifu to meet Chunyu Xiao again, that is before King Qi's uprising, but at that time Chunyu Xiao was still in Qi and should have no chance to come to the capital. Hmm... There are so many disciples of Chunyu Xiao, which one is appreciated by the Taifu?"
Cui Hong's face sank, "Who is Yang Gong, who came to slander me on purpose? Cui is not talented, but he knows how to love himself."
Yang Feng cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, calm down, I'm just guessing randomly, but I have to persuade the master a few words anyway: The matter of Wangqi is not credible, Chunyu Xiao and his disciples lied to confuse the public, and the plans were great, King Qi. It has already fallen, and the master will be the next one if he is not careful."
"Hey, Yang Changshi made up his mind to call me a traitor and accomplice? Well, let's go to Beijing together and make it clear in front of the queen mother."
Yang Feng smiled slightly, "In front of the Queen Mother? Isn't Taifu going back to Beijing by order?"
Grand Master, just quelled a rebellion. He was supposed to be stationed in the north, but he only brought a small number of guards back to Beijing. He didn't have a stick of honor, and he didn't give his real name when he checked into the inn. Staring at Yang Feng coldly, he began to seriously consider the consequences of "splashing blood on the spot". There are all his people outside the door, and he himself has weapons...
Yang Feng guessed Taifu's thoughts, and lifted one collar to reveal the armor inside, indicating that he was ready, and the blood splashed would never be his alone.
Outside the door is the Taifu's guards, and even further away, they are Yang Feng's entourage, and the number is even greater. Once the stalemate is dead, Cui Hong will not be able to take advantage of it, so he smiled, "Yang Gong is both intelligent and brave, admirable and admirable. Well, assuming I know Chunyu Xiao, and assuming I return to Beijing privately, what does Duke Yang want to say to me?"
"I want to show a few confessions to the master."
"Confessions?"
The guard's scolding sounded outside the door, and Yang Feng said, "It's my person who brought the confession."
Cui Hong hesitated for a while, then said loudly, "Let him in!"
The door opened, and one of Yang Feng's entourage walked in with the wooden box, followed by two guards behind him. After leaving, when Yang Feng opened the wooden box, revealing a thick stack of papers, the two turned around and walked out of the room at Cui Hong's suggestion, closing the door.
Yang Feng took out the first confession and slowly pushed it to Cui Hong on the table, "I and Lord Shen, the imperial censor of the right patrol, patrolled the feudal lords of Kanto, and Lord Shen issued the imperial decree, and I was responsible for looking for signs of rebellion. This is Linjiang. According to the confessions of several people in the palace, around thirty-one years ago, a man named Fang Zisheng was the guest of honor of King Gong of Linjiang, King Gong died early, and Fang Zisheng retired without success.
"Thirty-one wonderful years? That was more than ten years ago."
"Yeah." Yang Feng took out another confession, "In the thirty-four years of the wonderful, King Ai of Jiyang invited a person named Lin Qianfeng, and a year later, King Ai of Jiyang was exposed, and Emperor Wu Kaien, just cut the county, Ai Wang has been cautious and guarded the country since then, and he has no retaliation for life, and Lin Qianfeng has disappeared, and his name has never appeared again."
Yang Feng took out one after another of the confessions, sorted by time, all of them were the confessions of the vassal states who had received a certain person who was looking for breath. Each of them was piled up in front of the Taifu, and Cui Hong didn't look at one, and kept his eyes on it Looking at Yang Feng, he suddenly held down a confession that had just been pushed over, and said: "Forty years of wonderful people, the King of Bohai and the King of Jiujiang appeared at the same time."
"I guess that since then, the number of disciples of this qi person has begun to increase, and there are places where he doesn't need to go out in person."
The last confession came from the subordinates of King Qi. Chunyu Xiao Yu Zhongmiao, who was looking for Qi, appeared in the palace of King Qi in the year when Emperor Wu died. Four years later, King Qi rebelled.
"Yang Gong has only been away from Beijing for a month or two, so he can collect so many confessions? Almost all the princes and kings from south to north have fallen."
"If Taifu remembers, in the first month of Emperor Huan's ascension to the throne, he issued a decree requesting all localities to check the movements of the heroes in their hometowns."
Cui Hong nodded, of course he remembered, but this is not a big deal. Almost every emperor has issued a similar decree. It is nothing more than killing some people and relocating some people to set an example and prevent local heroes from forming a solid force. That's all.
"That was the idea I gave to Emperor Huan, but I got the target wrong. It wasn't until Chunyu Xiao's form that bewitched King Qi was exposed that I realized where I was wrong. It turned out that the problem was not the hero, but the warlock. So please The Empress Dowager issued a decree, asking the officials of the various vassal states to ask only one thing, whether there was any hope of being angry and becoming a distinguished guest of the palace."
"There are qi-seekers everywhere, and there are also in the capital. There are more of them. What does this mean?"
Yang Feng smiled and pointed to the confession in front of the Taifu, "The Taifu can take a look. At least the four lords and kings received the same look. They are eight feet tall, with white beard and hair, square face, left side. There is a red mole in the eyebrows', does the master look familiar?"
Cui Hong was silent for a moment, "I don't care if these hopefuls are alone or not, what is the intention? Do you get some rewards for persuading the princes and kings to rebel?"
Yang Feng shook his head, "The intention of those looking for qi is not to reward them, nor to help someone become emperor, but the chaos in the world, the more chaos the better."
Cui Hong was silent again.
Yang Feng continued: "There are heroes in troubled times. Only when the world is in great chaos can we change the dynasty and change the surname. Taifu Cui, the skin does not exist, and the hair is attached. If the Chu Dynasty is in chaos, the Cui family will die."
Cui Hong finally said, "The qi person I know is called Bu Hengru, forty-one years old, with very dark hair."
Yang Fengdao: "Though people are different, their words are similar. There is only a certain place where the qi of the emperor is surrounded by black qi. It fluctuates and fluctuates. If you can make a decisive decision and get help from the nobles, the qi of the emperor will definitely rise to the sky. If you hesitate, the qi of the emperor will rise. It will be suppressed, and there will be no future."
Cui Hong widened his eyes, showing obvious surprise, "You..."
"There is no emperor's spirit at all. When His Majesty is living in a mean alley, can someone see the emperor's spirit?" Yang Feng stood up and said sternly: "The King of the East Sea has no such spirit. The Cui family was destroyed by your hands!"
Startled, Cui Hong also stood up and looked down. There was a scabbard dagger lying horizontally at the bottom of the wooden box.
"Just in case." Yang Feng said flatly, putting the confession on the table back into the box and covering the dagger.
"What should I do?" Cui Hong asked.
"Taifu can turn around and return to the North immediately, as if nothing happened, and leave the capital to me to handle. With the Taifu leading the troops, the King of the East Sea and the Cui family will be fine. Or the Taifu can also be Come back to Beijing with me, catch all the hidden rebels, and build a miracle."
Cui Hong thought for a while, his face paled slightly, "The matter of the capital is already on the line, and I have to go back in person to stop it, if... it's still too late."
"Teacher gave the right to act to that Bu Hengru?"
Cui Hong nodded, and began to regret it, "Not only Bu Hengru, but also Luo Huanzhang, he introduced the Qi Watcher into the residence. I trust him very much."
"Luo Huanzhang." Yang Feng recited the name again, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't say much, and he listened carefully, "The rain has stopped, please go on the road immediately, and come back to Beijing with me as soon as possible."
Cui Hong suddenly grabbed Yang Feng's arm, "Yang Gong won't turn his face when he arrives in the capital, right?"
"From now on, I will stay with the Taifu, and after I catch the hopeful, it will be up to the Taifu whether to kill or keep it. Afterwards, it is said that I recalled the Taifu to the capital, and I will explain other matters to the Queen Mother. Donghai The king will not be implicated, but he cannot be emperor yet."
Cui Hong finally made up his mind. He quietly returned to the capital in order to push his nephew to the throne, but now he wants to stop all this, "Okay, let's go."
Yang Feng was behind, Cui Hong was in front, and walked outside. After a few steps, Cui Hong stopped and turned around and said, "Bu Hengru and Chunyu Xiao may be liars, but they are not. There are people who are really accurate. Your Majesty now..."
Cui Hong didn't say any more, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Yang Feng doesn't believe in these nonsense, he only believes in one truth: it depends on people.
The rain has stopped, and there is still a lot of water on the ground, but people who are in a hurry don't care. Cui Hong and Yang Feng ordered their men to prepare their horses for the road. , and requisitioned several districts from the post station, which was finally enough.
The postmaster was extremely surprised. It was just after midnight when he arrived at Hangu Pass in the middle of the night. He couldn't open the door, but he didn't ask much. He didn't know Taifu, but he knew that Yang Feng was the eunuch in the palace. Maybe there was a way to pass in the middle of the night. .
Yang Feng kept his promise and stayed by Cui Hong's side all the time. During the period, he just handed over the wooden box to a follower. After receiving the box, the follower asked, "What about those three people?"
Du Motian, Du Chuanyun, and Tietou Hu San'er were all tied up with five flowers. They stood under the corridor not far away, and behind them stood three servants armed with knives. With just a single command, they would wield knives to kill.
Yang Feng shouted at the three captives: "This is a half-day journey to Hangu Pass. If there is a companion who dares to come and rescue you, I will let you go. If you don't, then blame your own blindness. ghost."
Du Motian and the other three were taken aback. Cui Hong did not recognize the three, and felt even more strange. Looking at Yang Feng, he became more and more confused about the details of this eunuch.
Yang Feng mounted his horse and looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious. Luo Huanzhang was an imperial teacher and was qualified to enter the palace. This meant that the situation in the capital was more dangerous than he expected. Can the young emperor survive this?
