Chapter 31: The Secret Decree at Night

Chapter 31 Nightly Secret Order

In Yang Yuanqing's guest account, Yuan Dingxing was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling quite nervous. He didn't know if he could still achieve his goal after more than a year? Yang Yuanqing was also demoted by the emperor. Is it meaningful to find him?

But Yun Dingxing decided to bet this time, because when he heard Chen Zhiwei telling that Yang Yuanqing killed Yuan Shangying, he found a detail, that is, Yang Yuanqing actually owned the Emperor's Sword, which shows that the emperor did not lose his trust in him when he demoted him to the palace prison. It was this detail that Yun Dingxing finally decided to put his wealth and life on Yang Yuanqing.

After Yang Yong's case, Yun Dingxing learned from his mistakes and learned profound lessons. It can be said that he can see through more than anyone else now.

Frankly speaking, the King of Qi treated him well, gave him a lot of rewards, and also found him an official position of priests in the West Pavilion of the King of Qi's mansion, which enabled him to embark on his career again, but none of this could replace his fear of the future.

Yun Dingxing only heard at the beginning of the year that the King of Qi had a private army. This news surprised him. The meaning of dead soldiers and private army was completely different. Dead soldiers were just followers and thugs, and there was no difference between them and ordinary officials and servants, but the private army was an army, which was for the purpose of rebellion and rebellion.

This scared Yun Dingxing. Although the King of Qi did not want him to know about the private army, he still knew that the private army existed. This shows that the King of Qi was not strictly confidential. He could know, and others could know that if the priest knew about it and investigated the matter strictly, all the King of Qi's subordinates would be cleansed. Yun Dingxing would not escape. He had already boarded the pirate ship. Even if he left the King of Qi's mansion now and pursued it in the future, he would be implicated. After thinking about it for a whole month, he finally decided to come to find Yang Yuanqing. More than a year ago, he had cooperated with Yang Yuanqing once, and Yang Yuanqing did not cross the river and burned the bridge later, which made him still have some trust in Yang Yuanqing.

"General Yang is here!"

A soldier at the door reminded him, and he quickly turned around and saw Yang Yuanqing lowering his head and walking into the camp. Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect it would be him. Yun Dingxing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I'm not going to see General Yang!"

Yang Yuanqing did not expect that it would be Yun Dingxing. When he received information from Yun Dingxing about the death warriors of the King of Qi from Yun Dingxing, it did not play any role. Yang Guang still tolerated his son. In the past two years, he favored the King of Qi. Except for not officially appointing him as the crown prince, all the treatment was treated as the crown prince. He also gave the 20,000 troops of the Sixth Reign of the East Palace to the King of Qi. This strong prince hint made Yang Yuanqing a little depressed.

Now that Yun Dingxing's arrival made him suddenly realize that Yun Dingxing might be a breakthrough to overthrow the King of Qi. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

"Mr. Yun, it's been a long time since I saw you, please sit down!"

Yang Yuanqing's attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Yun Dingxing's heart slightly relieved. He sat down and said regretfully: "I heard that General Yang was dismissed from office to protect Gao Sheng. Everyone felt sorry for the general!"

"It's not a question of dismissal from office! I am now serving as the Fenyang Palace Supervisor, and I am also trusted by the emperor."

Yang Yuanqing talked about his official style of courtesy, poured Yun Dingxing a cup of tea and a cup for himself. He sat down and asked with a smile, "Why did Mr. Yun think of coming to me?"

"Actually, I just passed by. I went to Mount Wutai to invite a Taoist priest to King Qi."

"Oh?" Yang Yuanqing asked curiously: "Why did King Qi believe in the Three Qings?"

Yun Dingxing couldn't hide his contempt and sneered: "He only believed in Taoism. There was a demon in his mansion called Pan Dan, who was the host of Songyang Palace. According to him, he lived three hundred years old. The King of Qi regarded him as a god and even sent his beloved concubine to serve him. Mr. Pan said that he had a junior brother named Pan Chong, who was the host of Shangqing Palace in Wutai Mountain. His Taoism was even more sophisticated, so the King of Qi asked me to invite him."

"What did he do with these Taoist priests?" Yang Yuanqing asked again.

"It is said to be praying for the father and mother. In fact, the prince died for almost two years, and he was unable to enter the Eastern Palace. He was anxious and put his hope on Taoist Technique."

"Is it useful?" Yang Yuanqing laughed in silence.

"Maybe he thinks it is useful! Last March, Pan Yaodao came to his mansion to cast spells for three days. After half a month, the emperor gave him the army of the Liuru Mansion of the East Palace. He thought it was Pan Yaodao's contribution, and since then he obeyed Pan Yaodao's words."

When Yang Yuanqing heard him say something about Pan Yaodao, he probably wouldn't be a human being, offended the King of Qi's subordinates, at least annoyed Yun Dingxing.

"Does Mr. Yun just keep working in the Qi Palace?" Yang Yuanqing asked tentatively, and the topic suddenly turned to the main business.

Yun Dingxing lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I might as well tell General Yang a secret matter. King Qi raised a private army. ("7*"

Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Aren't you a dead soldier? Why did you become a private army?"

"It was originally a dead soldier, but it was this demon that the five elements of the King of Qi belonged to wood. The wood nature was too strong, which made him unable to enter the Eastern Palace for a long time and needed to use gold to overcome it. Therefore, since the second half of last year, the dead soldier became a armored soldier."

"So how many soldiers are there?"

"I don't know the specifics. King Qi never told me, but at the end of last year he asked me to make a batch of tooth cards, totaling 5,200 yuan, 5,000 bronze medals, and 200 silver medals. I infer that this is the number of his private army."

‘Five thousand people!’ This number surprised Yang Yuanqing secretly. If it were this number, the King of Qi would be robbed forever.

Yun Dingxing also became anxious and stood up to salute and said, "General Yang, the King of Qi privately supports the army. Once the emperor knows, I can't escape. I want to report it to the emperor first. I wonder if General Yang can introduce him to the emperor for me. Yun Dingxing is engraved in his heart for the general's kindness."

"Don't worry!"

Yang Yuanqing comforted him and said, "I can understand Mr. Yun's mood, but King Qi is the priest's beloved son after all, and the crime of raising a private army is not serious. If there is no sufficient evidence, the priest will not believe it, but will say that you are alienating their father-son relationship. If Mr. Yun can seize the evidence, I can introduce it to Mr. Yun."

Yun Dingxing sighed and asked him to find evidence. Where can he start? Yang Yuanqing smiled and reminded him: "Where did Mr. Yun know this secret, you can start from."

A sentence awakened the dreamer, and Yun Dingxing knew what to do.















Yun Dingxing left, Yang Yuanqing sat in the tent and thought about this matter. His struggle with the King of Qi had lasted for four years, and the hatred with the King of Qi was no longer resolved. The King of Qi also wanted to get rid of it quickly. From the restoration of Jinyang Palace, it can be seen that he was preparing to set two traps for him.

The longer the time goes on, the more unfavorable it is for him. This time, he discovered the secret of the King of Qi raising a private army. A intuition told Yang Yuanqing that this was a god-given opportunity. In history, Yang Hing did not become the prince. He didn't know what the problem lies. Now he understands a little, and the problem should be with the King of Qi raising a private army.

Just as Yang Yuanqing lowered his head and thought, there was a sound of running outside the tent. A soldier hurriedly reported outside the tent, "General, the emperor sent someone!"

Yang Yuanqing was shocked and hurriedly said, "Please invite him over."

After a moment, a eunuch was hurriedly brought over by a soldier. He stepped forward and bowed: "General Yang, the emperor wants to see you, and he ordered you to go and meet you immediately."















Yang Yuanqing ran all the way and rushed to Yang Guang's residence the next night. At this time, the city of ** was already heavily guarded, with dense mechanisms around him, and hidden murderous intent. Teams of guards on the top of the city were watching the surrounding situation vigilantly.

When Yang Yuanqing's war horse approached ** City, he was immediately discovered by the patrol at the top of the city, an officer shouted sternly: "Stop!"

The eunuch who accompanied Yang Yuanqing came forward panting and explained: "I am Ma Shaoying, the official on duty in the imperial study. I will bring Yang Yuanqing, the supervisor of Fenyang Palace, to come to see him according to the emperor's will."

After a moment, a guard came out carefully and bowed to Yang Yuanqing and said, "General Yang, please follow me! Be careful of hidden arrows around you."

Yang Yuanqing handed the horse to his entourage and followed the guards carefully into ** City.

At this time, Yang Guang was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room. After entering Mayi County, there were obviously more memorials from all over the country, which made his slightly relaxed life outside the border disappear. He spent most of his time in the imperial study room, reviewing memorials, issuing imperial edicts, and summoning officials, making him feel that he was no different from being in the capital. Especially in the situation in the capital, which made him worried. He needed a capable general to stabilize the chaos in the capital for him. At this time, he first thought of Yang Yuanqing. Of course, Yang Guang had deeper intentions.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing is here!"

Yang Guang was excited. Did he come so soon? He was indeed a quick decision.

"Announce him to meet him!"

After a moment, Yang Yuanqing walked into the imperial study room and bowed to salute, "My minister Yang Yuanqing met Your Majesty, I wish you a long live your Majesty!"

Seeing that he was quite dark and had lost a lot of weight, Yang Guang couldn't help but smile and said, "Yang Aiqing, is it harder to build Fenyang Palace than guarding the border?"

"Report to Your Majesty, guarding the border is hard for many years, and building the Fenyang Palace is concentrated in three months. The pressure of humble positions is very high, and I basically spend it on the construction site every day."

"Can you finish the repair in three months?"

"It should be possible. Fenyang Palace is not big after all. As long as the materials are complete, I think there is no problem."

Yang Guang nodded, "I know your situation very well and I am very dedicated. I personally went to Jinyang Palace to urge Dongliangmu to eat and live on the construction site with the craftsmen. This made me feel very pleased. In addition, regarding Yuan Shangying's affairs, you also admit that you were arbitrarily killing the imperial officials. Yang Aiqing, this matter made me very embarrassed! I need to make a decision."

Since Yang Guang knew all his situation very clearly, it means that he had a spy in Fenyang Palace. There was no need to hide what Yuan Shang asked. At least he left Yang Guang with a frank impression. Moreover, after Yang Guang's tone, he did not take this matter to heart.

Yang Yuanqing bowed and said, "I am willing to kill the imperial officials without permission and accept all punishments from Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang did not take the matter of killing Yuan Shangying to heart. For him, the Guanlong nobles who controlled the army would kill one less. As long as Yang Yuanqing had evidence of Yuan Shangying's crime, he could also explain to the Yuan family. However, Yang Yuanqing repeatedly used his Emperor Sword to make a headache, and this time he took the opportunity.

"You have exceeded your authority and killed the imperial officials, and you should have punished you for your crimes, but in terms of your dedication to the palace, I will give you a lighter punishment and punish you for half a year of restitution. In addition, you abused my Panying Sword and had adverse effects on me, and I decided to take it back."

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly in his heart. Yang Guang gave him a special reward because he saved Yang Guang's life in Renshou Palace. However, since he had used Yang Guang's promise in the Gao Jin case, Yang Guang would not give him the sword again. On this point, Yang Guang was unambiguous.

"I dare not, I am willing to return it to Your Majesty!"

A eunuch presented the Panying sword in the golden plate to Yang Guang. Yang Guang took the sword and gently stroked the sword body. This was the sword given to him when his father ordered him to guard Yangzhou. To be precise, it should be called the Sword of King Jin. This sword reminded him of his father again. He sighed in his heart. Then he put the sword away, but took out another sword and placed it on the imperial desk.

"Although you should be punished for killing the imperial court's orders, I highly appreciate your decisiveness. The situation in the capital is now chaotic, and I need a capable general to restore order in the capital. I have a fancy to your decisiveness. From now on, you will no longer be the supervisor of the Fenyang Palace. I have appointed you as the commander of the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace and give you the Sword of the Emperor Shangfang to stabilize the situation in the capital for me."

Yang Yuanqing felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He understood Yang Guang's profound meaning. In name, he maintained order in the capital, but in fact he was seizing the military power of the King of Qi. This shows that Yang Guang had decided to give up the King of Qi.
