Chapter 892 The Devil Is in the World

The political center of Datang was in Chang'an.

What is a political center?
According to the most simple understanding of the common people, it is... a group of nobles issue orders in Chang'an, if they fart, we all have to respond with a few piles of shit to show our respect.

If they say a word, the world will tremble a few times.

That said, this is where policy is made.

This will guide the direction of the entire Tang Dynasty.

This is Datang's brain.

Therefore, it is called the political center.

Political centers have their own rules.

There is a category for what the emperor should do and what the courtiers should do.

Those who cross the line will be mobbed and attacked.

After Pei Jiu, Beijiang and Chang'an fell into a stalemate.

Chang'an still supports Northern Xinjiang, money, food, weapons, even if it is worse.

For example, the food is moldy, the weapons are inferior, and the money has been lost...

As a price, Beijiang must block Beiliao for Datang, and, in terms of the appointment of officials, Beijiang still has to obey Chang'an's arrangements.

This is a tacit understanding.

The emperor wanted to break this tacit understanding, so when the head of state planned for Zhang Chumao to be the governor of the northern border, he pushed the boat along the way and let Zhang Chumao go.

It is a pity that Zhang Chumao not only failed to open up the situation in northern Xinjiang, but became notorious.

After Huang Chunhui came Liao Jin, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. They were what they were before, and they are still what they are now.

But Yang Xuan became the deputy envoy of Jiedu, which can be regarded as eye drops for Chang'an.

Therefore, after Huang Chunhui became an official, there were few cars and horses in front of the door, not only because of the stalemate between him in northern Xinjiang and Chang'an, but also because he promoted Yang Xuan.

But Liao Jin's ability is not as good as Huang Chunhui's after all. Chang'an saw the opportunity and used frequent methods. For a while, he seemed to see the dawn.

Seeing that the situation was going well, Yingwei made a move, and a guy knocked Liao Jingan down.

Yang Xuan took advantage of the situation and took charge of the northern border.

This son acts fiercely and has a vicious vigor.Chang An shot many times, but he counterattacked them one by one. In the end, the two sides simply stopped communicating.

Since then, the balance of power between Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang has been broken.

Northern Xinjiang became an independent kingdom.

Officials are appointed by themselves, attacks are decided by themselves... What is this?
Weifu for personal use!

Earth emperor!
Some people say, what if the earth characters are removed?

This remark caused a wave of crusades, and immediately, the courtiers suggested that Yang Xuan come to Chang'an, and everyone had a good talk in person, clarifying the estrangement of these years, and reconciling.

That's right.

But when Zheng Qi opened his mouth, he was provocative and dug a big hole.

This is not an atmosphere to speak well.

But unexpectedly, Yang Xuan admitted it.

That's right!
I am the messenger of Chang'an!
how?

What to do! ?
At this moment, Yang Xuan's eyes were sharp, he seemed to be staring at Zheng Qi, but he was actually waiting for the emperor to speak.

Get started!
Come!
But who dares?
It's easy to say today, Yang Xuan can't escape death!
But no one knows exactly how many eyeliners Yang Xuan has in Chang'an.

If Yang Xuan can't get out of the palace today, the news will be sent to Beijiang as quickly as possible.

Liu Qing, who was the same father and son as Yang Xuanqing, would roar and howl.

Nan Hehui will immediately kill those officials and generals who are loyal to Chang'an, and then take control of the army.

Then, Beijiang will twist into a rope and go straight to Chang'an.

Who can bear this ending?
Therefore, Yang Xuan sat there, staring at him, but no one dared to reprimand him.

He has nothing to fear!
What do you want?

The son-in-law is too tough.However, the emperor had nothing to do.Sure enough, no amount of money, food, and land could compare to holding a large army and sitting in charge of one side.

Zhou Zun knew that if the son-in-law said these words, reconciliation would be impossible.

And the wonderful thing is that Zheng Qi...Yang Songcheng took the lead in this matter, that is to say, the chief culprit for breaking the reconciliation turned out to be the head of the country.

Old man go!
Zhou Zun's worries about his son-in-law were all offset by this wonderful result.

Before provoking Zheng Qi, he must have thought that his son-in-law would respond!Then he used his carefully prepared arguments to attack his son-in-law wave after wave... until everyone felt that the son-in-law is a domineering and disobedient creature!
This is to stigmatize Yang Xuan.

It is the suppression of public opinion.

Another world calls it: Social Death!
But now, what is the effect of social death? What's more, what about reconciliation?

Isn't the purpose of recalling Yang Xuan back to Chang'an just for reconciliation?
But now you are sabotaging the possibility of reconciliation, and you even put the shit bowl on Yang Xuan's head.

Yang Xuan's unexpected toughness unexpectedly caused this result.

Everyone felt that he would refute and defend himself.

But I admit it.

I gave my reasons why I had to, and I admitted it.

Zheng Qi found that the situation was out of control.

Continuing to criticize has lost its meaning.

Yang Xuan was labeled domineering.

But under the persecution of Chang'an!
The emperor smiled unchanged and raised his wine glass.

This is the signal to end the debate.

Zheng Qi was about to sit down.

Yang Xuan said, "During the drought in the north, who was it that encouraged the victims in the north to go to northern Xinjiang?"

The emperor toasted, and all topics had to be put aside.

But Yang Xuan didn't seem to see it, looked at Zheng Qi, and said aggressively: "You will know, once the food in Northern Xinjiang is run out, how many people will starve to death in an instant?"

He slowly looked at the ministers, "At that time, the whole country will be hungry, and Beiliao will definitely send troops. How can a group of hungry soldiers in Northern Xinjiang resist the powerful enemy?

There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild.Who is happy?Is it Zheng Qi, or... the head of the country! "

He stared at Yang Songcheng with sharp eyes, "I won't mention the grievances between Chang'an and Beijiang today, but I'll just ask, are the two sides sworn enemies?

no.Stand up, you and I are both from Datang.

No matter how much fighting, no matter how much anger, there must be a bottom line.

But when you drive the victims to northern Xinjiang, have you ever thought about such a situation?
I came to Chang'an for one purpose, and that is to ask you, in your eyes, are those disaster victims human beings or beasts? "

He stood up slowly.

"Who can tell me?"

No one answered!

"What you eat and drink is bought by the sweat and blood of the common people.

But in your eyes, those food and clothing parents are like animals.

Look at those victims, those children starved to death, those old people escaped into the night alone for their families, and starved themselves to death...Those women volunteered to be prostitutes in exchange for food for their children...

Is that the human world?That's hell!
And you who are high above you, you who claim to be gods, are the devils who created all this! "

"enough!"

The emperor was about to shout angrily, but Zhou Zun came out.

What the son-in-law said was impassioned and furious.

However, he offended this group of beasts at the top of the food chain.

Yang Xuan took a deep breath, looked at the group of people from left to right, and then sat down.

He just wanted to scold Zheng Qi, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the plight of those disaster victims came to his mind, and he burst into anger.

I'm a little impulsive.

Looking at the indifferent eyes of those meat eaters, Yang Xuan felt inexplicably uneasy.

Did i do something wrong?
He clenched his fists.

That's right.

For the sake of the so-called overall situation, for the sake of the so-called favor, and for the possible support in the future, I put aside the anger in my heart and those victims, right?
wrong!

Yang Xuan took a deep breath.

Eyes firm.

This world!

sick!

It's a serious illness!
What is needed is a bone-scraping steel knife, not a gentle compromise.

The hall was silent.

No one wants to talk.

what did you say?
deny?

The truth is, denial will only make you look down on you.

So, admit that the people are just a bunch of animals who only know how to work in our eyes?
This is because there are many things in the world that can only be done and cannot be said.

It's one thing to know, it's another to say it.

Zhou Zun's suppression was timely, and the atmosphere eased a little.

After all, not everyone feels that they are aloof gods.

Wang Douxiang felt that she should speak up to ease the atmosphere.

"Third, drink!"

It was not Wang Douxiang who broke the deadlock, but...

King Wei toasted, and King Yue looked embarrassed, but he had no choice but to toast with him.

King Wei drank it all in one gulp, and then ate the vegetables.

When going out today, he told his eldest sister that it was a treat from a business partner, and the eldest sister said to drink less wine and eat more meat.In this way, the family can buy less meat these days and save some money on vegetables.

"Hahahaha!"

King Liang laughed suddenly, and then raised his glass, "Today the Tang Dynasty is full of grand sights, my lord, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

These words, combined with Yang Xuan's words earlier, how come it seems like a sarcasm?
The emperor raised his glass with a smile and drank it.

Immediately, people toasted one after another.

"Impulse."

Zhou Zun said in a low voice.

Yang Xuan smiled and nodded, but he had no regrets in his heart.

We put interests first in everything we do, so is this a human being or an animal chasing interests?

"Little Xuanzi, what you said is deafening."

Suzaku said, "Good job!"

Afterwards, it was calm eating and drinking.

Yang Xuan noticed that King Yong and King Zhen ate very cautiously.

It seems that the life of these two brothers is not easy.

The banquet is over.

Yang Xuan gave his father-in-law a hand, and the two walked slowly among the crowd.

"This man is domineering!"

"Yes, not just domineering, full of nonsense."

"In front of the civil, military and clan clans of the Manchu Dynasty, speak boldly."

These words are broken and broken, endless.

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Zun asked.

Are you afraid of offending these people?
Yang Xuan shook his head, "I'm just a country boy."

"There are a lot of people who come from poor backgrounds. Once these people jump to a higher level, most of them will keep silent about their original background. They sharpen their heads and desperately want to drill up, and they are dismissive of the old level, and even extremely disgusted."

"I always remember my origin."

Yang Xuan made a pun.

Walking out of the hall, Yang Xuan looked up.

The sky is full of stars, and the stars are twinkling, competing with the moonlight.

"I have seen the General!"

Qi Xun came out.

When the feast is over, his mission is complete.

He told his confidants: "The old man will go south tomorrow, and the Youqianniuwei will remain the same. Remember, keep an eye on Miyagi, and put His Majesty's safety first in everything."

"Yes!"

Qi Xun looked at his confidants, and said solemnly: "Whoever acts obediently and disobeys, whoever is negligent in his duties, will be punished severely when the old man returns from the south!"

His subordinates trembled in their hearts, "Yes!"

Qi Xun's face turned pale, "You've done well these few days, and I'll reward them with food and drink tomorrow, and give them in batches, so there's no room for delay."

"Yes!"

"General, that's Yang Xuan!"

Qi Xun saw it, and said with a sneer, "Today Zheng Qi wanted to reveal his face in public, but who would have known that this person would not deny it? What does this mean? This is the meaning of breaking the jar."

"General, isn't he afraid of retribution when he gets old?"

"What is he waiting for, the old man knows."

Qi Xun turned his eyes and saw the burly King Wei.

"He is waiting for King Wei to enter the East Palace, so that the guilt at this moment can be written off. However, this is just delusional thinking!"

Yang Xuan and Zhou Zun left the imperial city.

More than a dozen of Zhou's guards came, Yang Xuan took a look, they were all good.

"Husband, slow down!"

Yang Xuan said.

"Aren't you leaving?" Zhou Zun still wanted to talk to him.

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I have an appointment with someone."

Zhou Zun nodded, and glanced at the crowd pouring out from behind, "The best way at the moment is not to say anything. After that, the influence of those words will gradually dissipate."

But both he and Yang Xuan knew that the influence of those words would never dissipate.

This is the roar of the Lord of Northern Border to a class.

He stood on the opposite side of this class, so he was the enemy.

Yang Xuan sent the father-in-law away and went to his entourage.

Ning Yayun whispered: "Chang Sheng is here."

Yang Xuan turned around.

Chang Sheng also came to the banquet today, but as an outsider, he was alone in the corner, and the believers took turns to talk to him, and they enjoyed themselves.

Chang Sheng walked over slowly, a pair of hands that were whiter than a woman's was very eye-catching.

Black hair, gray eyebrows, and a calm expression.

"Master Ning!"

Ning Yayun smiled, "Chang Guanzhu!"

Chang Sheng pointed to the right side, "This old man has long been friends with the head teacher Ning, but the relationship is not close. Can you go?"

On the right is the avenue in front of the imperial city.

In other words: the old man did not set a trap for you.

But Yang Xuan will rely on Ning Yayun to ambush Qi Xun tonight!
Yang Xuan just wanted to speak, but Ning Yayun smiled and said: "That's fine."

That's right, Chang Sheng came to invite him personally, and made it clear that there was no trap, if Ning Yayun didn't go, she would be cowardly.The point is, when the news of Qi Xun's death in an ambush comes, Ning Yayun's suspicion will increase greatly.

Yang Xuan caught a glimpse of Qi Xun getting on his horse.

"Chang Guan Lord!"

As if he was just about to see Yang Xuan, Chang Sheng raised his gray eyebrows slightly, and suddenly burst into momentum, "Vice Envoy Yang."

Ning Yayun flicked the tail of the stag, and Yang Xuan, who just felt short of breath, relaxed all over.

Old stuff!
Yang Xuan said: "If you don't see the head teacher returning safely tonight, then I will think that all of this is your fault."

This is a threat from the Lord of Northern Border.

Chang Sheng ignored him and said to Ning Yayun, "Please!"

Ning Yayun walked side by side with him, and slowly disappeared in front of him.

Chang Sheng seems to be a righteous man, but in fact he is extremely arrogant...Yang Xuan got on his horse and went to Pingkangfang.

When the person entered the private room of the restaurant, there were already guards waiting.

Changing clothes, putting on makeup, and under the cover of the guards, Yang Xuan led Lin Feibao and Pei Jian into the night quietly.

And Qi Xun had just left the palace at this moment, and he rode his horse slowly, meeting familiar officials and generals on the road, stopping from time to time to talk.

"Leaving tomorrow?" A general who had been friends with him asked.

Looking at it, I was a little envious.

Qi Xun nodded, "Yes, we will leave tomorrow!"

The general sighed: "When you come back, your title should be promoted by one level, which is very enviable!"

Qi Xun smiled, "Be diligent in the king's affairs, and have everything."

After saying a few words, he turned left and entered Anrenfang.

At the same time, the three Yang Xuan who were flying in the alley appeared in that alley.

Yang Xuan pointed to the left and right, and climbed into the left wall by himself.

The sleeping puppy got up, wagging its tail and walked towards Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan rubbed its head, Lin Feibao beside him waved, Yang Xuan shook his head.

This is not a threat!
In the ears, there was the sound of horseshoes.

Yang Xuan walked behind the wall and grabbed the edge of the wall.

Hold your breath!

At the same time, Chang Sheng, who was pacing in the dim area in front of the imperial city, turned around.

"return?"

Ning Yayun smiled.

"impossible!"

Chang Sheng stretched out his hand, "The old man said, come back!"

A gust of wind suddenly swept over.

Abundant like a tide!
Ning Yayun stretched out her hand like a dam, "The old man said, it's impossible!"

Bah!
The two forces collided.

The dust was flying, and the farthest one shot to the top of the city.

At the same time, in the alley.

Qi Xun rode his horse and turned left from the avenue.

The night was hazy.

More than ten guards are in front, Qi Xun and two masters are behind.

A group of people slowly entered the alley.

A gust of wind blows.

Qi Xun narrowed his eyes, "The old man feels something is wrong!"

He looked up.

A dark cloud slowly obscured the moonlight.

On the walls on both sides, three black shadows flew out.

Murder broke out!
