Chapter forty-ninth hope
The two sat across the table. Apart from the prime minister of the dynasty, Cui Hong had never given such courtesy to other ministers. At this time, he was not a first-class tutor or a general who led hundreds of thousands of people. He was just a traveler staying in the rain, and rain was still dripping on his body.
He was not the minister of Guxin who was cautious in the Qinzheng Hall and even trembled when facing the empress dowager. He looked alert, put one hand on the table and the other hand holding the handle of the knife.
The door was closed, and Cui Hong's dozen guards were guarding outside, so there was no need to worry about someone eavesdropping.
The rain became even smaller, leaving only the drizzle, which occasionally became rapid, and it was also the rain accumulated on the eaves that poured down.
"Didn't Yang Gong pursue the remnants of the traitors in Qi State? Why did he come here?" Cui Hong decided to hear what the Zhongchangshi wanted to say, but he did not intend to accept it, and he had no intention of telling his secret.
Yang Feng stared at Cui Hong, as if the other party was just a down-and-out little official, "I'd better let's go straight to the point. When did the Taifu meet Chunyu Xiao?"
Cui Hong laughed dryly, "Yang Gong is really good at joking. Chunyu Xiao is the first prisoner who bewitched the rebellion of the King of Qi. How could I get to know him as General Pingdong who wiped out the rebels?"
Yang Feng thought for a while, "Yes, when the war comes, the Taifu will not be able to meet Chunyu Xiao again, that is before the King of Qi rebellion, but at that time, Chunyu Xiao was still in Qi State and should not have the chance to come to the capital. Well... Chunyu Xiao has many disciples, and I wonder which one was appreciated by the Taifu?"
Cui Hong lowered his face, "Whose power of Mr. Yang came to slander me? Cui was not talented, but he also knew how to keep himself clean."
Yang Feng bowed, "The Grand Tutor calmed down, I just guessed randomly, but I would like to persuade the Grand Tutor no matter what, I would like to persuade the Grand Tutor: The matter of looking for the air is not credible. Chunyu Xiao and his disciples talked in disguise the crowd, and the goal was huge. The King of Qi was already lost. The Grand Tutor would be the next one if he was not careful."
"Hey, Mr. Yang has made up his mind to call me a thief accomplice? Well, let's go to Beijing together and explain it clearly in front of the Queen Mother."
Yang Feng smiled slightly, "In front of the Queen Mother, can't the Grand Tutor return to Beijing under the order, right?"
The dignified Taifu, who had just quelled a rebellion, was supposed to have stationed troops in the north, but only brought a small number of guards back to Beijing, without any ceremonies, and did not report his real name when he checked in the inn. Of course, he would not have returned to Beijing under the order. Cui Hong stared at Yang Feng coldly and began to seriously consider the consequences of "blood splashing on the spot". There were all his people outside the door, and he himself also had weapons...
Yang Feng guessed the thoughts of the Grand Tutor, lifted one side of his collar and exposed the armor inside, indicating that he was ready and that the blood splashed would not be the only one of him.
Outside the door was the Taifu's guards, but they were Yang Feng's entourage, and there were even more. Once the stalemate was in conflict, Cui Hong could not take advantage of it, so he smiled, "Yang Gong is both wise and brave, respectable and admirable. Well, suppose I met Chunyu Xiao, suppose I went back to Beijing privately, what did Yang Gong want to say to me?"
"I want the Grand Tutor to read a few confessions."
"Exhortation?"
The guards shouted outside the door, and Yang Feng said: "It's my man who has sent the confession."
Cui Hong hesitated for a while and shouted: "Let him come in!"
The door opened, and one of Yang Feng's entourage walked in with a wooden box, followed by two guards without leaving behind. The entourage placed the wooden box on the table, saluted the Taifu and the Zhongchangshi, and bowed to leave. The guards did not leave immediately. When Yang Feng opened the wooden box and exposed a thick stack of paper inside, the two turned around and walked out of the room at the hint of Cui Hong, and closed the door.
Yang Feng took out his first confession and slowly pushed it to Cui Hong on the table, "I and the right censor Shen, patrolling the princes of Guandong. Lord Shen promulgated the imperial edict. I am responsible for finding signs of rebellion. This is the confession of several people in the palace of Linjiang. Thirty-one years ago, a pride named Fang Zisheng was once the guest of honor for King Gong of Linjiang. King Gong died early, and Fang Zisheng retreated without any merit."
"Thirty-one years of the world's wonders? That happened more than ten years ago."
"Yeah." Yang Feng took out another confession, "In the thirty-fourth year of the world, King Ai of Jiyang invited a person who looked at the air, named Lin Ganfeng. A year later, King Ai of Jiyang was exposed. Emperor Wu gave his kindness and only cut the county. King Ai was cautious in guarding the country and had no desire to rebel for life. Lin Ganfeng disappeared, and his name never appeared again."
Yang Feng took out one confession after another, sorted by time, all of which were confessions from the vassal states that had received a certain person who looked at the qi. Each part was piled up in front of the Taifu. Cui Hong didn't look at a single part, staring at Yang Feng, suddenly pressed down a confession that had just been pushed over, and said: "Forty years, the qi-seekers appeared in the mansions of King Bohai and King Jiujiang at the same time."
"I guess that from then on, the number of disciples of this qi-seeker began to increase, and there are some places where he doesn't need to take action himself."
The last confession came from the subordinates of the King of Qi. Chunyu Xiao, the one who looked at the qi 41st year, appeared in the Qi palace in the year when Emperor Wu passed away. Four years later, the King of Qi rebelled.
"Mr. Yang has only been away from Beijing for a month or two, and he can collect so many confessions? The princes from south to north have almost all declined."
"If the Taifu still remembers it, the first month after Emperor Huan ascended the throne, he issued an edict to ask local people to investigate the movements of the heroes in their hometowns."
Cui Hong nodded. Of course he remembered, but this was not a big deal. Almost every emperor had issued a similar decree, which was nothing more than killing some people and migrating some people to serve as a warning to others, so that local heroes could not form a solid force. That's all.
"That was my idea for Emperor Huan, but I got the wrong goal. It was not until Chunyu Xiao's situation of bewitching the King of Qi was exposed that I realized where I was wrong. It turned out that the person in question was not the heroes, but the sorcerers in the martial arts world. So I asked the Queen Mother to issue an imperial edict and asked the officials of various vassal states to ask only one thing, whether those who were hopeless would become distinguished guests of the royal palace."
"There are people who look at the air everywhere, and there are also people in the capital. There are more people. What does this mean?"
Yang Feng smiled and pointed at the confession in front of the Taifu, "The Taifu can take a look. At least the four princes received the look of the look of the qi, "The Taifu is eight feet tall, with white hair and beard, square face, and a red mole in the left eyebrow." Does the Taifu think it looks familiar?"
Cui Hong was silent for a moment, "No matter whether these people who look at the air are alone or not, what is their intention? Will you get some rewards when persuading the princes and kings to rebel?"
Yang Feng shook his head, "The intention of those who look at the air is not to reward, nor to assist someone in proclaiming himself emperor, but to be in chaos in the world, the more chaotic the better."
Cui Hong was silent again.
Yang Feng continued: "Heroes come from troubled times. Only when the world is in chaos can there be a possibility of changing the court and surname. Cui Taifu, if the skin is gone, how can Mao be attached? If the Great Chu is in chaos, the Cui family will be destroyed."
Cui Hong finally spoke, "The person I know of is called Bu Hengru, who is forty-one years old and has a very dark hair."
Yang Feng said: "Although people are different, they are similar. They are nothing more than a place where the emperor's aura is surrounded by black air and is unstable. If you can make a decision immediately and get help from noble people, the emperor's aura will surely rise into the sky. If you hesitate, the emperor's aura will be suppressed and there will be no more time to stand out."
Cui Hong opened his eyes wide and showed obvious surprise, "You..."
"There is no pride of the emperor at all. When Your Majesty is living in a shabby alley, can anyone see the pride of the emperor?" Yang Feng stood up and said sternly: "The King of Donghai is not even more pride of the emperor. If the Grand Tutor does not wake up in time, the King of Donghai will undoubtedly die. The Cui family will be destroyed by you!"
Cui Hong was shocked and stood up. He looked down and saw a dagger out of the sheath at the bottom of the wooden box. The cold light shone, and he couldn't help but be shocked again.
"Just in case." Yang Feng said calmly, putting the offering on the table back into the box and covering the dagger.
"What should I do?" Cui Hong asked.
"The Taifu can change the direction and return to the north immediately. Just pretend that nothing has happened and leave the matter in the capital to me. If the Taifu is leading the army outside, there will be no trouble for the King of Donghai and the Cui family. Or the Taifu can also return to the capital with me, catch all the hidden thieves in one place, and establish a magical achievement."
Cui Hong thought for a while, his face pale, "The affairs of the capital are already on the strings, and I have to go back in person to stop it, if... it's still time."
"The Grand Tutor gave the right to act to Bu Hengru?"
Cui Hong nodded and began to regret it, "It's not just Bu Hengru, but Luo Huanzhang, who introduced the qi-seeker into the mansion. I believe him very much."
"Luo Huanzhang." Yang Feng read this name, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't say anything more. He listened with his ears, "The rain has stopped. Please ask the Grand Tutor to go on the road immediately and join me in returning to Beijing as soon as possible."
Cui Hong suddenly grabbed Yang Feng's arm, "Don't Yang Gong turn against him when he arrives in the capital, right?"
"From now on, I will stay with the Taifu. After I catch the person who is looking for the energy, the Taifu will be the main decision. Afterwards, I said that I recalled the Taifu back to the capital. I will explain other matters to the Queen Mother. The King of Donghai will not be implicated, but he cannot be the emperor yet."
Cui Hong finally made up his mind that he quietly returned to the capital 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 ahead, walked outside. After a few steps, Cui Hong stopped and turned around and said, "Bu Hengru, Chunyu Xiao may be a liar, but he is not a man. Some people are very accurate in looking at him. Your Majesty now..."
Cui Hong didn't say anything further and pushed the door out.
Yang Feng didn't believe these nonsense, he only believed in one truth: things are done by man.
The rain had stopped, and there was still a lot of water on the ground, but those who were in a hurry didn't care about this. Cui Hong and Yang Feng ordered their subordinates to prepare horses to go on the road. Cui Hong's horse was exhausted. Yang Feng divided a few horses and requisitioned several horses from the post station, which was finally enough.
The official secretary was extremely surprised. He arrived at Hangu Pass shortly after nightfall and was in the middle of the night. He couldn't open and close the door, but he didn't ask much. He didn't know the Taifu, but knew that Yang Feng was an eunuch in the palace and might have a way to pass in the middle of the night.
Yang Feng kept his promise and stayed with Cui Hong's side. During this period, he only handed the wooden box to a entourage. After the entourage picked it up, he asked, "What should those three people do?"
Du Mutian, Du Chuanyun and Tietou Hu Saner were tied up in various ways. They stood in the corridor not far away. Three followers with swords stood behind them. With just one order, they would wield their swords to kill people.
Yang Feng shouted at the three prisoners: "This is half a day to go to Hangu Pass. If there are really companions who dare to come to rescue you, I will let you go. If not, you will blame yourself for being blind. Instead of living in the world, you should be a ghost under the knife tonight."
Du Motian and the other three were surprised. Cui Hong did not recognize these three people and felt even more strange. When he looked at Yang Feng, he became more and more confused about the eunuch's background.
Yang Feng was calm on the surface, but in fact he was anxious. Luo Huanzhang was the imperial teacher and was qualified to enter the palace. This means that the situation in the capital was even more dangerous than he expected. Can the young emperor pass this level?
