In Tangfeng Pavilion, Changsun Wuji stood in front of the window and looked at a hovering eagle in the sky with his hands behind his back. His eyes showed a hint of expectation. Everything was implemented according to his plan. Xiao Yuansong had been arrested by the Sui Dynasty's inner guards. The Tangfeng token on his body was enough to stir up storm.

The net has been launched, it depends on how many big fish can be harvested?

At this time, the goshawk gathered its wings and landed on the eagle tower. An eagle slave had already rushed forward and fed the goshawk's fresh meat. Then he took off the information bamboo tube tied on its legs and ran towards Tangfeng Tower.

"Report to the Chief Secretary, it is Taiyuan's emergency information!" A soldier knelt down on one knee and raised the bullet in his hand high.

Changsun Wuji took the message tube, quickly took out the thin silk inside, shook it open and looked at it, immediately put away the thin silk, and walked quickly towards the inner palace.

In the room, Li Shimin was standing in front of a sand table and thinking about the next battle. He wanted to take Luoyang next, but he was worried about the military pressure of the Sui Dynasty in the north. In fact, they missed the opportunity. When Yang Yuanqing attacked Liaodong, they should attack Luoyang fiercely.

Now that the Liaodong Battle is over, Hebei has been pacified, and the Sui army has been deployed by the Yellow River. It is obvious that the Sui army will also compete for the Central Plains in the next step. If the Tang army remained silent, they could only watch the Sui army seized the Central Plains and its momentum grew.

The Tang army must take action, the key is how they should play? The world is like a chess game, it only depends on the methods of the chess player. Yesterday, he had a deep conversation with his father. His father considered forming an alliance with Li Mi and Dou Jiande, and Li Shimin also thought that this move was good.

Li Mi is now considering going south to Jianghuai and increasing the strategic depth. For him, Yang Yuanqing of Hebei is the enemy that poses the greatest threat to him, not to mention Dou Jiande, both sides have common enemies and are extremely likely to form an alliance.

If we form an alliance with Li Mi and the Tang army will take Luoyang eastward, once the Sui army goes south, Li Mi and Dou Jiande will never watch, which will lead to a situation of three to one. The Wei army and Xia army attack Hebei and force the Sui army to return to aid, then there will be much more confidence in capturing Luoyang.

This is like writing an article. First of all, the layout is to make the layout. Only when the layout is laid out can you start to focus on it. Li Shimin knew in his heart that if he wanted to take Luoyang, he had to connect with Wei Xia first.

At this time, Changsun Wuji walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Just received an urgent letter from Taiyuan, Xiao Feng has been removed from the position of military officer in the record office."

"It's a good plan!"

Li Shimin sighed slightly. Although the possibility of winning over Xiao Guan was increasing step by step, he was removed from the position of attending the military. His value in the future was lower.

Changsun Wuji seemed to understand Li Shimin's thoughts, so he comforted him: "In the future, we can infiltrate the Dunhuang Party through him, and we can consider it for a long time. Now the key is to get some secrets from him, such as Yang Yuanqing's strategic plan, etc., which will be of great benefit to our next deployment."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and immediately ordered: "You can order Li Chongshou to close the net!"

"Abide by Your Highness's order."

Changsun Wuji bowed and turned around and walked out of the room. He had just walked into the yard. But he saw Pei Ji walking quickly. Pei Ji had already returned from the inspection of Bashu. In order to balance the power of his two sons, Li Yuan still appointed him as the Minister of Shangshu and entered the Zhengshi Hall as the prime minister, which made him the spokesperson for Li Shimin's interests in the Zhengshi Hall.

Today, Pei Ji was asked by Li Shimin to discuss the attack on Luoyang, and happened to meet Changsun Wuji in the yard.

Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji have a very good personal relationship. Changsun Wuji became the supervisor of Tang Feng, which was strongly recommended by Pei Ji.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "See Prime Minister Pei!"

"Changsun Changshi is so hurrying. But what good news is there?" Pei Ji was extremely smart. He saw that there was an unconcealable look of excitement in Changsun Wuji's eyes.

Changsun Wuji nodded. "It's a little bit of gain."

Pei Ji quickly pulled him aside and whispered: "Tell me some news!"

Pei Ji was very concerned about Tang Feng's affairs. He found that the emperor was very concerned about the information outside recently. If he could also keep up with the latest information in time, then when he answered with the emperor, he would be able to seize the opportunity to please the holy heart. He did not want to let go of this opportunity to show his presence in front of the emperor.

"Tell me quickly!" Pei Ji felt a little hesitant when he saw Changsun Wuji was a little anxious.

Changsun Wuji knew that Pei Ji was extremely smart. He told him some inside information and he would immediately run to the emperor to show off. It would be okay once or twice, but if the number of times was too many, it would make the King of Qin dissatisfied.

But if I didn't say it, I was afraid of offending him, Changsun Wuji felt embarrassed and had to vaguely say: "It was my plan that was successful. Xiao Feng of the Sui Dynasty was removed from his position as a military officer."

"It's not bad!"

Pei Ji patted his shoulder and smiled approvingly, "It's not easy to fool Yang Yuanqing. Tang Feng did a good job. Today, the emperor talked to me about you and praised you for your ability. I will tell me in time if there is any news in the future. I will also give you good words to you in front of the emperor."

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to smile bitterly, "I remember, please rest assured Pei Xiang!"

"Go! I guess your highness is anxious and we will talk more in detail in the future." Pei Ji left proudly.

Changsun Wuji looked at him walking into the room, and had to shake his head and quickly walk towards Tangfenglou.

.........

Taiyuan City is different from Chang'an. Chang'an is divided into neighborhoods, surrounded by walls, but in the whole world, there is only Anyang City, Chang'an and Luoyang have this structure. This is because Anyang is the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Chang'an is built with reference to Anyang City, and Luoyang is built with reference to Chang'an.

Taiyuan City has no arch walls, and consists of eight streets, three vertical and five horizontal. The street on the center axis is called Jinyang Street, aiming at the gate of Jinyang Palace outside the north city.

Among the five horizontal lines that run east and west, the northernmost one is called Linjin Street. This is a road that runs across the east and west of the city. There are countless small streets and alleys facing north and south along this road. In Pinyue Lane in the west of the city, there are more than a dozen families living in, the top of which is Xiao Feng’s mansion.

That afternoon, a carriage was racing towards Pinyue Lane. The person on the carriage was Li Chongshou. Xie Sili, who came to the restaurant for lunch, told him that Xiao Feng fell ill and did not come to the court.

Li Chongshou felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. He knew that the time was ripe, and he also received an order from Chang'an, and the Changshi instructed him to start.

Li Chongshou knew Xiao Feng's character well, with aristocratic blood, arrogance, and could not withstand the blow. He has been under a dazzling halo for the year he served as the Records Office. Now he has been demoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, how can he withstand such blows?

Li Chongshou could fully understand Xiao Guan's mood. Once he could not withstand the blow, he would go to extremes. This is also Xiao Guan's character. He actually cared more about what he said he didn't care about, just like he said he was indifferent to wealth. But he offered him the Jade Buddha he gave him like a treasure.

Li Chongshou knew how to convince Xiao Feng. At this time, the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Pinyue Lane. Li Chongshou got off the carriage and walked quickly into the alley.

He walked to the door and knocked, and an old housekeeper opened the door. He knew Li Chongshou, "It turned out that Lord Li was here."

"How is your master in his condition? I heard he is sick?"

The old butler smiled bitterly, "He is heartbroken, hey!"

Xiao Guan's mansion covers an area of ​​about two acres, two yards, and more than twenty houses live in Xiao Guan, his wife, a son and a daughter. There are also old mothers, five maids, servants and an old housekeeper, who can only be regarded as middle-aged families.

Li Chongshou followed the old butler to the study room. The old butler knocked on the door and said, "Master, it's Lord Li Dong to come to see you."

"Please come in!"

Listening to the sound, Xiao Feng was still quite angry, unlike when he was sick. Li Chongshou knew it in his heart, and he really had no illness or heart disease.

He entered the room and saw Xiao Feng sitting alone at the small table drinking, his face looked normal, but he was depressed.

Li Chongshougong bowed and smiled, "Brother Xiao, if you want to drink, why don't you go to my restaurant?"

Xiao Feng sighed, "I don't have the mood to go to your restaurant. Brother Li is here just in time, so I'll have a drink with me."

"Then it's better to obey your duty than respect."

Li Chongshou sat down, Xiao Feng took a cup for him, picked up the wine pot and filled it with it, put it down, raised his glass and said, "Come on! Thank you Brother Li for visiting me, I wish Brother Li a glass."

"Brother Xiao is sick, I should come and visit!"

The two picked up the wine glasses and drank them all. Li Chongshou snatched the wine pot and filled the wine glass with wine. He asked curiously: "I'm really surprised that Brother Xiao is doing well, why did he suddenly get demoted?"

As he asked, he stared at Xiao Feng and saw every expression of Xiao Feng. Seeing that Xiao Feng showed a look of embarrassment on Xiao Feng's face, he hurriedly said, "If it's hard to say, stop talking."

Xiao Feng sighed, "There is nothing to say about Brother Li, but...oh! I only now understand what the emperor's wrist is."

"Oh? Brother Xiao might as well talk, I'm very interested." This was the first time Li Chongshou talked about government affairs with Xiao Guan. Xiao Guan used to not mention government affairs and kept his mouth shut. Now he finally spoke, which made Li Chongshou secretly happy.

Xiao Feng picked up the wine glass and sighed: "I was also very depressed and wanted to talk to someone. I used to join the military office and the rules were very strict. I was not allowed to talk to anyone about government affairs. Now I am just a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and there are no rules. However, Brother Li wants to agree to me that what I said to Brother Li today is not allowed to disclose to others."

Li Chongshou pointed at his heart, "I swear to you with sincerity and will never reveal it!"

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's okay to tell you about it. The senior officials of the court know many things, but everyone knows it in their hearts. This time, I was transferred, a member of my tribe was involved in the spy of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he had wanted to transfer me away long ago, and this time he seized the opportunity."

"Why is this? The King of Chu trusts Brother Xiao very much!"

Xiao Feng shook his head, "This has nothing to do with trust, it only has to do with balance of interests. When I was appointed as the Secretary Office to join the army because he wanted to take Dunhuang and had to win over the Dunhuang party members. Now that the Dunhuang problem has been solved, he doesn't need me and wants to replace him. He turned to consider the interests of the Fengzhou faction, so Zhang Liang took over as the Secretary Office to join the army."

Li Chongshou suddenly realized and sighed: "I can't see that the King of Chu is very scheming!"

"Of course he was deeply scheming. He knew last year that Wang Xu's son was worshipping the Prince's Mansion in Chang'an. He endured it until April this year before using this matter to overthrow the Wang family."

Li Chongshou nodded, "I have heard of this."

Xiao Feng drank a few more glasses of wine and seemed to be talking a lot, "It's not stopping yet! Take the armistice negotiations with the Tang Dynasty last year as an example. Why did the Sui Dynasty resolutely refuse to make concessions on the Dunhuang issue and forced the Tang Dynasty to make concessions in the end? Do you know what the mystery is?"

Li Chongshou sat upright, his eyes full of expectations, "Can Brother Xiao tell me what the secret is?"

"Because someone at the top of the Tang Dynasty leaked the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty emperor in advance, the Sui Dynasty was fearless."

Xiao Feng sneered, "No one would have thought of this person. I just heard Wei Ben's report by chance that Liu Wenqi had a brother-in-law named Zhang Wenlong. This person seemed to have been bribed by the inner guards. Who would you say this senior leader of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Ah! It turned out to be Liu Wenjing." Li Chongshou was shocked.
