Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 227 The Very Spicy Yang Guozhong
Li Fei even made another report, and found out the reason for the Bohai State's military mobilization this time?

Of course he was interested in Tang Xuanzong, so he immediately asked the eunuch to present it to him.

Only halfway through, Tang Xuanzong's face was already full of anger. The civil and military officials below were all people who observed words and expressions. Seeing Tang Xuanzong becoming so angry, each of them suddenly felt a little bit in their hearts. Two of them even had foreheads. Sweating and terrified.

After reading it, Tang Xuanzong closed the memorial with a snap.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that the reason for this would be so deep, retreat!" Tang Xuanzong did not tell the reason, but retreated angrily and left.Then, let the eunuch tell Yang Guozhong to stay.

Hearing the eunuch's letter, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief. He roughly guessed what Li Fei wrote in the memorial.After Tang Xuanzong came to court, he kept him extra, obviously intending to discuss with him privately, which shows that Tang Xuanzong still absolutely trusts him.

When Yang Guozhong arrived at the imperial study, Tang Xuanzong was already waiting for him inside.

"Master Prime Minister, you should take a look too." Gao Lishi brought Li Fei's melody to Yang Guozhong, and asked Yang Guozhong to take a look first.

Yang Guozhong opened it and read it quickly, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom came to Chang'an City, why didn't you tell me?" Tang Xuanzong asked Yang Guozhong, frowning.

There was another drop of cold sweat on Yang Guozhong's forehead. Li Fei's memorandum not only wrote that when the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom came to Chang'an City, they hurried back from Chang'an City to the Bohai Kingdom.He even mentioned what happened to the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom in Chang'an City. In addition, when the Crown Prince of Bohai came to Chang'an City as a hostage, he would bring the envoy along with him to check the whole story with Datang.

"Your Majesty, I, I don't know myself." Yang Guozhong looked innocent, as if he really didn't know anything.

"I am busy working for Your Majesty every day, and at the same time manage hundreds of officials. There are so many things. I neglected to watch for a while, but caused such a disaster. I am guilty!" Yang Guozhong said, and directly knelt down to Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly, thinking that he had indeed handed over almost all the government affairs to Yang Guozhong. In addition, Yang Guozhong was still the prime minister, and he had to supervise the officials, so he really didn't care about some trivial matters.

"I don't blame you. It was the two officials from the Ministry of Rituals who entertained the envoys from various countries who talked nonsense and misunderstood the soldiers of the Bohai State to attack my Tang Dynasty. However, Li Fei analyzed in the memorial book that someone might have set it up. Conspiracy, want to achieve some purpose. Hmph! To lure other countries to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, causing the lives of the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty, if it was really designed by someone, it is so vicious, and the crime should be cut to pieces!" Tang Xuanzong said angrily.

"After you go back, you send someone to arrest those two household officials. I want to interrogate them myself, and I want to see if someone is really instigating them behind their backs!"

Tang Xuanzong's words made Yang Guozhong's forehead drip with cold sweat again.His Majesty wants to interrogate himself, in case those two things can't hold back and confess to His Majesty——.How can you let Yang Guozhong not be afraid, because the instigator behind that is Yang Guozhong, if he is found out, he will be finished.

Yang Guozhong was terrified, and secretly hated that Li Fei didn't give him such a deadly counterattack, but as long as His Majesty still believes in him now, it is impossible for Li Fei to use this to bring him down!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong withdrew.

After leaving the palace and returning to his Prime Minister's Mansion, the two officials from the Ministry of Rites were already waiting for him.

Yang Guozhong was taken aback. At this time, these two people were still in his mansion. If someone saw them and spread them to His Majesty, he would not be able to say anything.

"You two are here, can others see it?" Yang Guozhong asked angrily through gritted teeth.

The two officials from the Ministry of Rituals looked at each other and said: "Master Prime Minister, is something wrong? You must save us, we are all working for you, Mr. Prime Minister."

The two officials of the Ministry of Rites did not answer Yang Guozhong's question. Instead, they cried and prostrated themselves in front of Yang Guozhong and asked Yang Guozhong for help.

The corners of Yang Guozhong's eyes twitched, wishing he could strangle these two officials to death immediately!But he can't turn his back on these two officials now, let alone let them die in his prime minister's mansion.

"Of course the truth will save you. Before leaving the palace, His Majesty ordered the truth to arrest you and interrogate you, but of course the truth will not do that. You will not be able to do this official position. Take the whole family and leave Chang'an City as soon as possible." Well, the truth will show you the way forward. Although you can't continue to be officials in the court, it is no problem to be a rich man. If your descendants want to be officials in the future, the truth will also be taken care of. There is only so much that can be done.” Yang Guozhong did not tell them that Tang Xuanzong planned to interrogate them himself, because he was afraid that the two would blackmail him in turn.

The faces of the two officials turned pale with fright, and their faces turned ashen, which meant that their future was completely over.

When the two officials were appeased away, Yang Guozhong's face immediately turned grim.

"If you don't die, you may threaten the truth, so don't blame the truth for being tricky!" Yang Guozhong whispered viciously.

In the absence of Yang Guozhong's order to arrest, the two officials led the whole family in a carriage, left Chang'an City without hindrance, and fled in the direction of Jiannan Road.

Jiannan Road is Yang Guozhong's territory. In order to appease the two officials, Yang Guozhong promised them a lot, asking them to go to Jiannan Road so that Yang Guozhong can take care of them better.

When the two officials ran to a field more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, nearly a hundred masked men came out.

"Whoa! Whoa!" These masked men even brought dozens of bows and arrows, and they shot to death quite a few families of two officials in one shot.

boom!
A carriage crashed into a tree inside, and an old woman in the carriage was thrown out together with a maid, who was the mother of one of the officials.I don't know if the old woman can survive this time.But even if she can survive, the killer will not let her go.

Sure enough, the old woman had only just been helped up by the maid, and at this moment, a murderer slashed her face with a knife, and the old woman screamed and died.

"The villain Yang Guozhong killed me!" The two officials shouted in grief and indignation. At this time, as long as they are not too stupid, they can guess who is going to kill them.Except for Yang Guozhong, it's really impossible to be someone else.

However, although the two officials hated them, there were as many as nearly a hundred killers, and they were carefully arranged, so they had no chance to escape.

In the end, the two officials, together with their whole family, died tragically in the wild.

About half an hour later, a group of soldiers from Chang'an City arrived. The leader looked indifferently at the corpses all over the ground, and ordered his soldiers to bring the corpses back to Chang'an City.
