As night fell, Yang Yuanqing sat in the study outside, listening attentively to the investigation report of his personal soldier, Zhao Tong.\\..\\

"Today, ten teams of brothers were sent to visit various places in Taiyuan. The whole city of Taiyuan was indeed talking about auspicious signs. About ten days ago, someone caught a big fish in the Fen River and found a brocade of books in the belly, written in ancient seal script.

King Chu rose, King Sui destroyed, eight days ago, someone found a turtle-holding jade stele in the West Mountain, with three words written on the jade stele, "Chu is on the Shang"; there is also rumors that the Chu Palace was discovered.

The national jade seal, these things are spreading in Taiyuan, especially the appearance of the national jade seal in the Chu Palace, which is simply to make Taiyuan people crazy.”

Yang Yuanqing stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. It was obvious that someone was doing the game. Who was doing it? Du Ruhui?

Unlike, if it was Du Ruhui, he would definitely have to agree in advance. More importantly, Du Ruhui would never be able to lay the jade seal in his backyard.

Yang Yuanqing had an intuition that this matter was not simple, there seemed to be a yin plot hidden inside, and he also believed that Wei Ben should be investigating this matter.

At this time, the housekeeper's report came from outside the door, "Master, Prime Minister Du is here, I'm asking for a meeting outside the door!"

Du Ruhui was quick to move. Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Please come in!"

He said to his personal general: "You go find Wei Ben again and send me a message. The person behind the scenes will find out for me no matter what. When I come back from Jingxing, I need to know the truth."

"I understand the humble profession!" The Lang general bowed and turned around.

Soon, Du Ruhui, led by the old housekeeper, came to the study room outside, "Master, Prime Minister Du is here."

"Please come in!"

The door opened, Du Ruhui walked in with a smile, pretending to complain, "Your Highness will not say it first, everyone will not know. If it weren't for the warm welcome from the public, everyone would probably be kept in the dark!"

Yang Yuanqing also smiled and said, "Who said I was going back to the court? I was just passing by Taiyuan to go home to see my wife and children. I will go out for a few more days tomorrow."

Du Ruhui was stunned, but immediately understood, "Your Highness is going to Jingxing?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded.\\..\\"The Turks have been trapped in Jingxing for more than a month and are unwilling to surrender. It is said that there are signs of breaking through. I am worried, so I still have to go and see it. After all, it is 30,000.

people."

"I guess there are no 30,000 people now! Many people should die of illness and freeze to death."

"I don't know this, just think there are 30,000 people."

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand. "Sit down and talk!"

The two sat down, a maid served two cups of tea, and then closed the door for them. Only Yang Yuanqing and Du Ruhui were left in the room.

Yang Yuanqing picked up the teacup and asked, "Have Ziweitang discussed the armistice agreement sent by my personal guard?"

"Everyone discussed it and agreed unanimously. In addition, everyone wants to know the real consideration of Your Highness. That is, they want to know the specific time of attacking Tang."

The Prime Ministers of Ziwei Pavilion are actually very clear that the agreement is just a delaying strategy, and Yang Yuanqing cannot wait two years before attacking Tang. However, no one can see through the specific time of Yang Yuanqing's attack on Tang. In fact, Du Ruhui came to visit Yang Yuanqing tonight

, also entrusted by the entire Ziwei Pavilion.

Du Ruhui glanced at Yang Yuanqing and saw that he was still hesitant, so he knew that he didn't want to say it, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, I also know that this is a top-secret plan, but attacking the Tang Dynasty requires the mobilization of the entire Sui Dynasty. The army is needed.

Food, civilians and various military supplies need to be mobilized in advance, and it cannot be mobilized in a month! It is too late to go up, and large-scale assembly will easily expose Your Highness’s plan, so you must prepare as soon as possible. Your Highness should trust Zi

Weige.”

Yang Yuanqing smiled self-deprecatingly. Du Ruhui said something reasonable. He was indeed a little too cautious. After all, the Wang family colluded with the Tang Dynasty. Now the general situation is settled. Even the Dou family secretly defected to themselves, let alone these themselves are at a high position.

The prime ministers will not destroy their own future. Heaven, I will gather 200,000 troops to attack the Tang Dynasty... "

After a pause, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's true that I can only say so much. I haven't even considered the specific plan myself." Heaven is enough. In addition, I also want to discuss the imperial examination with Your Highness. It was originally held in October.

The autumn test, but the plan was interrupted by the Turkic invasion. After discussing the matter, the Political Affairs Hall decided to hold it in late January next year and change it to the Chun test, because tomorrow the proof will be issued to the counties, and I wanted to discuss it with Your Highness tomorrow.

But since Your Highness is going to Jingxing, I can only ask for instructions now. I don’t know if Your Highness has any special list this time.”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "From this year, there will be no special list in the future, and all will be admitted fairly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and found a note from the drawer next to him with a name on it. He handed the note to Du Ruhui and smiled apologetically: "Of course, you can consider it in some special circumstances. This person

If he comes to participate in the imperial examination, he will be admitted, and he will be appointed as the eleventh, and the county magistrate will be appointed.”

Du Ruhui took the note and looked at it. He saw that the name on it was 'Huangfu Qiao'. He was stunned for a moment. The surname was Huangfu. Who would it be? Could it be the descendant of Huangfu Wuyi, the prime minister of Luoyang? But he couldn't think about it.

What is the friendship between Huangfu Wuyi and Yang Yuanqing?

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I am not a celebrity, but just a son of an old friend. I have lived in seclusion long ago. I promised him to give his son a future."

"I understand."

Du Ruhui carefully put the note in his arms. He took another sip of tea, and then turned the topic to the focus of today. He said carefully: "Do your highness know what is rumored in Taiyuan these days?"

"Are you talking about auspicious things?"

Yang Yuanqing raised his eyes and stared at Du Ruhui sharply, "Are those auspicious signs planned by Ziwei Pavilion?"

"No! No! No!" Du Ruhui waved his hand in a hurry, "Without Your Highness's consent, how dare Ziwei Pavilion make decisions without his permission? It's not our doings. We are also investigating, but there are no clues yet."

Yang Yuanqing nodded. He also believed that it was not Ziwei Pavilion, but Du Ruhui's formal statement still made him feel relieved.

"Don't investigate Ziweige. I have asked Wei Ben to investigate this matter. Your ability is not as good as them."

"That's true!"

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly. They were indeed unable to compare, but what he was going to talk about tonight was not this matter, but the big issue of ascending the throne.

"Your Highness, let alone those auspicious signs about... Ascending the throne. But the civil and military officials really hope that your highness can ascend the throne as soon as possible. As far as I know, officials have contacted them privately and wanted to write a petition to appeal to your Highness.

Ascending the throne, Ziweitang also means this. Your Highness defeated the Turks, and the public opinion rose, and it was just right to go with the trend."

After saying that, Du Ruhui stared at Yang Yuanqing with expectation, but Yang Yuanqing still shook his head. "I might as well give you a brief explanation. I will not ascend the throne before destroying the Tang Dynasty, and I will not ascend to Guanzhong even if I conquer it. This is already

What to decide.”

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing was determined, Du Ruhui had no choice but to do so. This was not intentionally postponed, but really had plans.

"Okay! Then I won't disturb Your Highness's rest anymore. I'll talk about other things after Your Highness comes back from Jingxing."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and ordered his personal soldiers outside, "Send it to the Prime Minister to leave the palace!"

Du Ruhui bowed his hand and said goodbye, but when he walked to the door, he remembered something. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Yuanqing's eyes were extremely sharp. He saw at a glance that there was something in Du Ruhui's mind, and then smiled and said, "What else do you have to say in the prime minister?"

Du Ruhui shook his head hurriedly, "No! No! It's okay."

Yang Yuanqing saw his panic and said a little displeased: "Old Du, you have been with me to Fengzhou since the first year of Daye. You have always been the person I trust the most. Is there anything else to hide from me?

”

Du Ruhui sighed, "It's not that Hu Yi wants to hide his highness. It's because it's related to His Highness's family affairs, Hu Yi dare not talk nonsense."

"My family affairs?"

Yang Yuanqing became even more suspicious and his tone became tougher, "You said! What family matters?"

Helplessly, Du Ruhui had to hesitate: "About four or five days ago, the prince asked me about Ruizhao. For this matter, there is nothing else. I will leave with me!"

After saying that, Du Ruhui left in a panic. He felt very regretful. Why did he hesitate for a while just now? Yang Yuanqing saw it and walked out of the room. Du Ruhui slapped himself hard, "Your damn mouth!

”

In the room, Yang Yuanqing frowned. He was experiencing the profound meaning of Du Ruhui's words. What does the prince ask him about auspicious signs? He knew that Du Ruhui would never be aimless, and saying this must have a profound meaning.

But what does the auspicious incident have to do with Ning'er? Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps behind his back, and his steps suddenly stopped. He thought of something, was it Ning'er?

Yang Yuanqing's face changed drastically at this moment, and he finally understood Du Ruhui's deep meaning. Du Ruhui was actually referring to the jade seal of the palace.

Yang Yuanqing fell heavily in his seat. He could not imagine that the jade seal was buried by his son.

Yang Yuanqing and Du Ruhui have been together for more than ten years and know their wise men well. He will never say anything nonsense. Since he dares to say this, they must have discovered something? Or they have mastered some evidence, but they are not good at saying it to themselves.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing was sure that the jade seal must have been buried by his son, so he had no clues, because he never thought it would be his family.

Yang Yuanqing felt a pain in his heart. He didn't expect that his son would do such a thing. He was only eight years old!

Yang Yuanqing could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, so he stood up and walked out, but when he walked to the door, he realized that it was impossible that he was his son. He was only eight years old, so he knew what he knew. This must be someone instigated him.

The imperial seal is extremely precious, where did he get it?

It must be someone instigating him. Yang Yuanqing sat back on his seat. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He gradually understood that this was not what Li Gang did, but it should be the Pei family. He heard from his wife that Pei Ju and Ning'er had a very good relationship.

.

No wonder Du Ruhui refused to say that because it was related to the relatives of the outside world, he didn't want to cause trouble at this time. They must have known that Ruizhao was caused by Pei Ju.

Yang Yuanqing's teeth gradually clenched, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The Pei family was so brave that they dared to control their eldest son.

After a long time, he walked out of the study and said to a maid: "You go and report to the princess, and say that I will live with my second wife tonight. I have something to talk to my second wife."
