At noon, a goshawk hovered over Hedong City for several times and landed on a high tower. An eagle slave had been waiting for a long time, took off the message tube from the eagle's legs and ran directly to the military camp outside the city.

Yang Yuanqing had already met the merchants. At this time, he was talking to the soldiers in the military camp outside the city. There were more than 300 soldiers in a tent, including ordinary soldiers and lower-level officers. These soldiers were randomly selected by Yang Yuanqing in the military book.

Yang Yuanqing came to inspect the army, not to investigate the case or to cause trouble for senior officials, but to the military discipline inspection station. As a superior, he came to chat with the soldiers, listen to their sufferings and troubles, and talk to them.

In the future, morale will be encouraged, so the atmosphere in the tent is warm and relaxed, and laughter will be constant. The senior officials have no ideological burden and just sit aside to accompany them.

"The manager, there is no difficulty, I just can't see women all day long, I feel so nervous!"

A young soldier shouted loudly, causing everyone to laugh. An officer next to him slapped him on the scalp and cursed: "Your crotch is on fire, right?"

Yang Yuanqing also laughed: "This guy is not married yet! I work harder in the war, earn rewards for making meritorious service, save money, don't spend it randomly, go home to marry a wife, will everything be solved?"

Everyone laughed again, and then a veteran who sat closer said carefully: "Master, I'll give you a suggestion, don't you know if it's OK?"

"you say!"

The veteran scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I am from Mayi County. Sometimes I get some rewards and want to bring them to my family. Because the money is too heavy, I'm sorry to ask someone to take them back. I've been thinking about it for a few days.

There is no Yihe Di Store, there are branches in many places. For example, if I put the money in Hedong County Di Store, the Di Store gives me a certificate and adds a code word, and I can ask the person to take the certificate home.

My wife used vouchers and code words to withdraw money in her hometown diary store, which was very convenient. I would rather pay a little to the diary store:

The veteran’s idea resonates with many people. Indeed, many people encounter this and trouble, because the money is too heavy and it is inconvenient to carry it with you.

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, and the big tent became quiet again. He smiled at the soldiers and said, "Aren't we building stations in all counties now? Stations are mainly for sending letters. In the near future, each county will have a cash counter, which is temporarily the official one.

Solve the problem you encounter. You save money in Hedong County and tell the shopkeeper that you want to withdraw money in Mayi County. Just bring your voucher and code to go on the road. You can take out the money in another cash counter in Mayi County. Of course, you need to

Pay a little money to the cashier, but definitely not much:

Everyone was overjoyed and asked, "Master, when will there be such a cash counter?"

"Ziwei Pavilion has been approved and has been organized by Taifu Temple and has started construction. It is estimated that the first one will be opened in Taiyuan after the beginning of spring. I require that all counties and counties in Hedong in next year have money cabinets: "

The news was absolutely shocking. There was a lot of discussion in the tent. At this time, a personal soldier whispered in Yang Qiqing's ear. Yang Yuanqing nodded, explained to Cui Pojun beside him, and got up and went out.

When he walked outside the tent, a personal soldier presented an eagle message tube, "Report to the general manager, the information sent by Chang'an urgently."

Yang Yuanqing nodded. He was waiting for news from Chang'an. He sent it yesterday and wrote back today. The Chang'an Intelligence Hall is very efficient. He pulled out the paper roll and only three words were written..." The prince's system,.

Yang Yuanqing showed a meaningful smile on his face. This is the news he wanted. The princely department. He had long heard that the top leaders of the Tang Dynasty began to have a power struggle. Perhaps the incident I heard yesterday could be between them.

The power struggle adds another fire.

Yang Yuanqing and Li Liao took out a warrant that had been prepared long ago and handed it to his personal soldiers, "Immediately send this information to Chang'an in an eagle letter: "

...

...

The New Year is coming, and every household in Chang'an City is decorated with lights and tiles, and talismans are placed on the 26th day of the first lunar month coincides with the day when the court is closed, and the major restaurants are crowded. They are in full swing. They are entertaining guests, gathering relatives and friends, and their business is particularly prosperous.

At noon, the Best Restaurant in Pingkangfang was lively and noisy. The three floors were filled with guests, drinking and playing with punches, laughing one after another, and watching a wine alone at a small table beside the window on the second floor.

Guest, about forty years old, has a thin face, three wisps of black beard, wears a white brocade robe and a black gauze hat, and is calm and elegant. This person's surname is Liu, named Liu Wenqi, and is named Liu Wenjing.

My brother, the official magistrate of the cavalry, liked the wine and dishes of this Baisi wine shop very much, and he would come to taste it carefully every few days.

Today is the sunset, so he came at noon. As usual, Liu Wen ordered a pot of pomelo wine and three or five light side dishes. He especially liked the braised Weihe carp made in this winery, which is a unique one.

I slowly tasted the tender meat of carp that I caught from the Wei River in the morning and took another sip of wine. This is the best Italian roe wine and his favorite.

Liu Wenqiu was very focused when he was having dinner and rarely talked to people. He turned a deafening noise around him, but the conversation at the wine table behind him stopped him.

"How is it possible? Master Sheng Yan shoulders the important task of Pujinguan. If he colludes with the Sui Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable. I, the emperor, cannot give such an important position to someone who has the intention to rebel."

"You know people, but not your heart. How do you know that he has no intention of rebellion? Will he say that he wants to surrender to the Sui Dynasty? Obviously he doesn't know how to say it, but what he did makes people doubt. How many rewards he gave him in more than a month

Hundred baskets of mountain fruits are given to the Sui Dynasty defenders across the Yellow River. What do you mean by this?"

"I think this is nothing, it's normal. During the Three Kingdoms period, Yang Hu also gave medicine to Lu Kang on the other side. Could it be that Yang Hu also surrendered to Wu Zhixin?"

"No! No! This time, there were times, and then, Wei was strong and Wu was weak, so Yang Hu certainly could not surrender to Wu. Now the Sui and Tang dynasties are equal. More importantly, Sheng Yanshi was not from Guanlong, so it is difficult to guarantee that he would not surrender to Sui.

”

Liu Wenqi was secretly surprised. It turned out to be Master Sheng Yan. You must know that Master Sheng Yan was his brother Liu Wenjing recommended it to Prince Jiancheng. If Master Sheng Yan really surrendered to Sui, this would be implicated in his brother.

He hurriedly turned around and saw two old men sitting behind him. While drinking, talking about Master Sheng Yan's affairs. Liu Wenqi quickly got up, picked up his glass and walked up to smile and said, "Two fathers invited me:

Seeing that he was kind and polite, the two old men couldn't help but feel a good impression of him and smiled and said, "Is this gentleman okay?"

"I'm just sitting behind you. I heard you talk about General Sheng Yan. I wonder where this news came from?"

An old man stroked his beard and laughed: "It seems that the sir is turning a blind eye to the matter outside the window. This incident has been rumored to be full of controversy, and it is said everywhere. We listened to people's discussions in the morning, so let's talk here, we also

I don't know who reported it, but it's very well-founded and makes people believe it: "

Liu Wenqi was even more surprised. The incident spread throughout Chang'an. He didn't care about continuing to eat and drink. He thanked the two old men, settled the bill again, and got up and left chess and hurriedly.

......

After the bell was investigated, Liu Wenqi rushed to his brother Liu Wenjing's residence. He did not need to report and went directly into the gate and walked towards his brother's study.

In the study, Liu Wenjing was writing an impeachment memorial at her desk. He wanted to impeach Pei Ji and conceal military information when he was in Hedong, which led to the annihilation of Li Shuliang's entire army and Li Shuliang died. He received a news yesterday that Yang Yuanqing was before launching an attack on Li Shuliang.

, He had gone to Wenxi Pei's family, and Pei Ji was also in Wenxi Pei's family at that time. At this time, Pei Ji should have Liao informed Li Shuliang and asked them to retreat, but Pei Ji did not do so. He even hid in Wenxi Pei's family until the war

He left quietly after the end. Pei Ji explained at the time that he was carrying out the mission of persuading the Pei family to return to Tang, and just avoided the Sui army's attack on Li Shuliang's army. Obviously, he concealed the incident of meeting Yang Yuanqing in the Pei family in Naoxi:

It was that defeat that ultimately forced the Tang army to evacuate He Dong, and Pei Ji was responsible for it.

Liu Wenjing finished writing the memorial in one breath, put down her pen and read it again, and his words and tone were quite satisfied. At this time, a family member at the door reported, "Master, the second master is here."

It was brothers who had already started writing, and Liu Wenjing put away the memorial and smiled: "Let him come in!"

In the film teaching, Liu Wenqi quickly walked into the study and said anxiously: "Brother, something happened!"

Liu Wenjing frowned and the smile disappeared, "Don't be anxious, sit down and say slowly, what's wrong?"

Liu Wenqi sat down and told the news he heard in the restaurant in detail, and finally said anxiously: "I later asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant again, and he confirmed to me that this matter began to spread yesterday.

Many people in the restaurant are talking about this. Brother, it’s a bit bad!"

Liu Wenjing stood up and walked slowly in the room with her hands behind her back. He was also shocked. He knew that Master Sheng Yan was a Confucian general. It was indeed possible to send hundreds of baskets of mountain fruits to the other defenders, but the problem was,

How could this matter spread in Chang'an? Someone must be secretly making trouble here. Could it be Pei Ji?

Because Liu Wenjing was writing a memorial to impeach Pei Ji just now, he instinctively thought of Pei Ji. Sheng Yan Shi was recommended by Liu Wenjing to the prince Jiancheng, and Jiancheng also recommended him as the commander of Pujin Pass. If Pei Ji secretly spread the news, the first thing he would do was he

Liu Wenjing’s recommendation was wrong, and Master Gong Cai was dissatisfied with him.

But a deeper meaning is that the emperor is generous on the surface, but in fact he is extremely suspicious. No matter what motive Master Sheng Yan gave mountain fruits to the Sui army, the emperor would never let him guard Pujin Pass again.

According to the current distribution of power, the power of King Li Shimin of Qin is in the west and the power built by the prince is in the east. If Sheng Yanshi is dismissed and replaced by Li Shimin's people, it will break the current power structure, which is very bad!

The more Liu Wenjing thought about it, the more he felt that this was Pei Ji's actions. He suppressed himself and fought for the power of the prince for the King of Qin... Power, a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. Liu Wenjing finally couldn't help but feel anxious and said loudly: "Prepare the carriage, I want it."

Go to the East Palace immediately.”

He said to his brother again: "No further ado, I will make an intention to report this to the prince!"
