"Yang Zhen, I asked you, do you know what happened at Yanmen Pass in mid-March last year, and how much do you know?" Chen Xu's face gradually became serious.

"Yang Zhen, you have to answer this matter carefully. This time, I went to investigate the matter at Yanmen Pass under the order of the Marquis. I have already found out many of them. Ma Teng's inkstone was just to cover people's ears and ears. After you got drunk in Quyuan last time, you said that many powerful merchants in Zhao secretly raised funds to build weapons and prepare to rebel. Is it true?" Li Gui sat next to him and scolded in a low voice.

"Ah?!" Yang Zhen's relaxed mood suddenly felt like a bucket of ice water was poured on his head. A sense of fear suddenly cooled from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and even the anus tightened.

After Chen Xu asked, he stopped talking. Li Gui was wearing a mask and sat next to him like a killing god. Yang Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He could not remember the matter after getting drunk, but he really knew something about Li Gui's inquiry, because these things were not secrets among some powerful people in Zhao, but were not known to outsiders and the people. However, when it was exposed in person, Yang Zhen felt a sense of despair that a great disaster was coming.

"Hao...Hao, we...we did not participate in the rebellion. We just heard several seniors secretly say it at a banquet. I really listened to just a few words, but I can't really think it's true!"

After being stunned for a long time, Yang Zhen knelt in front of Chen Xu with a thud and begged for mercy. His face was pale and his body was sweating like slurry, and his back was instantly soaked.

"Get up and talk. Since Mr. Yang is still alive, even if someone in Zhao wants to gather people to rebel, you Yang will definitely not participate. This marquis doesn't want to care about these matters. Instead, he heard that the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Li, ordered soldiers to destroy Jingbian Temple and aroused the anger of the people in Yanmen. Now dozens of people have died and hundreds of people have been injured. As the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, I cannot ignore this matter. Therefore, I arranged for Ma Teng and others to disguise themselves in Yanmen to inquire. Since you know the inside story, don't hide it. Let me tell you in detail. I will naturally judge and deal with it. If you did not participate in the rebellion, don't be nervous!"

After Chen Xu said something, Yang Zhen felt his soul slowly return to his or her. He trembled all over and his hands were weak and his feet were weak and he used force several times before he got up. Then he sat on the chair and gasped hard. After a long time, he began to tell all the news about the Yanmen Pass incident.

Half an hour later, Yang Zhen finally finished all the beans poured in the bamboo tube.

"Mr. Marquis, everything I really say is true. I will never dare to deceive at all. This matter has been a sensation in Taiyuan and Yanmen counties. Marquis of Wucheng condoned soldiers to destroy Jingbian Temple, destroyed the statue of General Li Mu, and colluded with local officials to suppress the people. Most of the people who were caught and beheaded were local tyrants. As a local prominent family, I am also deeply trapped in it and could not escape my innocence. If it weren't for the family's wealth and wealth, otherwise two clan uncles would have been beheaded... Marquis, you are the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and a disciple of the immortal family. Can you decide for the people of Zhao..."

Since he had finished speaking, Yang Chong's mood was calm at this moment. Although he didn't know why Chen Xu had to investigate this matter secretly, his tone was not about making trouble, so his courage to speak gradually became stronger.

"Now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, where does Zhao come from?" Chen Xu frowned slightly, while Yang Zhen almost collapsed in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Marquis forgive me, I am really speaking without saying anything, but the people in the Yanmen areas really didn't expect to rebel. They were all forced by Marquis Wucheng!"

"Well, the Marquis of Wucheng did make a big mistake in this matter. Since I know, I cannot ignore it. But I have to make the decision for the people of Zhao. I can't rely on me alone. I have privately asked many ministers of the current dynasty in this matter, and no one is willing to offend the Marquis of Tongwu and Marquis of Wucheng. I heard that the men in Yanzhao are all heroes. Yang Zhen, I asked you, do you dare to meet the emperor with me and tell the whole story..."

"Ah?!" Yang Zhen almost trembled and slid down from the chair to the ground.

"Do you know why this marquis secretly sent someone to investigate the matter of Yanmen? That's because the letters from Yanmen are now closely controlled and monitored by local officials. The matter about Yanmen cannot be transmitted to Xianyang at all. The people know almost nothing about this matter. You also know the family background of Wucheng Hou. There are three Wuhous who have won the world's achievements. If you want to move him, you must be well prepared and force Your Majesty to take action..."

"Forcing the Emperor... Emperor..." Yang Zhen couldn't stop shaking his teeth.

"Yes, only in this way can this matter be revealed to the world. Without enough pressure, Your Majesty cannot punish the Marquis of Wucheng. Those killed and injured people cannot seek justice. If you continue to delay, the powerful merchants you mentioned will eventually be able to rebel. What will inevitably be His Majesty's thunder and anger. Under the crushing of hundreds of thousands of troops, a trace of vitality that your Zhao land has finally recovered will inevitably be crushed to ashes. Tens of millions of people suffered from the disaster of swords and weapons. Therefore, if you want to save the compatriots of Zhao land, you must stand up bravely. Otherwise, I will be powerless to help you. Although I am a disciple of the immortal family, I can't support myself in the court..."

"Marty, are you really willing to help us fight the Marquis of Wucheng?" Yang Zhen stood up tremblingly.

"The State of Zhao is gone, and any resistance is just in vain. In the end, it only adds many more dead people. This marquis cannot bear to see Zhao's creatures suffer. You should be clear about the strength of the Marquis of Wucheng. Not only does he control the 40,000 elite pawns in the northwest, he is also deeply trusted by the First Emperor. He does not have enough power and reason to shake him. I want to help you, but you also need your own efforts. Once you rebel, it will be a dead end. I will not be able to save you at that time!"

"A real man dies and dies, Marquis... Marquis, what should I do?" Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and nodded after hesitating for a long time.

"The Japanese Marquis of Ming Dynasty mentioned this matter when they arrived at the court. At that time, you will announce that you will be able to tell me about the cause and effect of this matter. Remember, you should say that this matter was specially asked by the former doctor Yang Tong to come to Xianyang to find me..."

Chen Xu carefully advised Yang Zhen. After knowing that Yang Zhen remembered everything, he asked Li Gui to take Yang Zhen out for washing and resting.

Although Yang Tong is no longer in the court, he is an old minister of the three dynasties and is one of the nine ministers at that time. His status is extraordinary. If he provokes this matter in his name, he will definitely receive a lot of support in the court.

Although the Wang family is powerful and trusted by the emperor, not all people in this era are afraid of power, especially those doctors, who dare to scold the emperor if they are forced into anger. Many people will definitely jump out to ask for punishment for this matter of wrath of heaven and resentment by Wang Li. The angry officials who are a little stubborn will not care about power. What they care about is their own beliefs and reputation, which is completely incomparable to officials like Meng Yi and Feng Quji.

Suddenly another day passed, and after a night of cold wind, a heavy snow of goose feathers began to fall.

At dawn, with the bell ringing in the hour of Yin, the four gates of Xianyang City opened wide, and countless people waiting to line up were inspected by soldiers and entered and exited the city gate as usual.

Many food huts and breakfast stalls on the roadside have also begun to be busy, and buses have already been shuttled through the streets and alleys with jingling rings. The newspaper boys who bought newspapers are also carrying bags and shouting to sell newspapers. Many officials have also washed, eaten and drunk and taken to the court and the mission.

Everything in Xianyang is not much different from the past, it is just an extra winter snow.

A carriage with four bridles entered the west gate of the city under the scolding of the driver. Dozens of guards with tiger backs and bears, wearing leather armor, were shouting and rushing forward. The imperial guards guarding the gate quickly salute without any inspection. The carriage headed straight to Xianyang Palace and Gonggong Hall without any inspection.

In the heavy snow, in the square in front of the gate of the Chaogong Hall, civil and military officials came one after another as before. Various carriages stopped in the marked parking area, bowed and greeted each other, and walked into the Chaogong Hall in groups of three or three and whispered.

Chen Xu got off the carriage, and behind him was a young man with a slightly heroic temperament but pale face. Many officials were surprised and bowed to the question while constantly looking up and down at the young man with a strange appearance and slightly swaying manner.

"Don't be nervous!" Chen Xu smiled and patted Yang Zhen's shoulder, and said to a group of officials watching around him: "Today I will introduce you to a descendant of the Nine Ministers!"

"After Jiuqing..." A group of officials were stunned for a moment, and many people's attitudes became much softer in an instant when they saw Yang Zhen.

"This handsome man is the descendant of the former doctor Yang Tong and Yang Gong, named Yang Zhen."

A group of officials suddenly realized that some of them bowed to Yang Zhen: "It turns out that they are descendants of Yang Gong, so they are disrespectful!"

"I dare not, Yang Zhen has seen you all the lords and seniors!" Yang Zhen quickly returned the favor next to him, feeling even more nervous and helpless. He felt that the group of people in front of him were like a group of tigers, trying to tear him to pieces.

Everything has been arranged by Chen Xu today. No matter what the outcome is in the future, the Yang family has been tied to Chen Xu. Chen Xu wanted to use his mouth to use Yang Tong Jiuqing and the genius of the three dynasties to completely reveal the affairs of Yanmen Pass from the darkness, so that the people of the world can understand this conflict and promote their purpose of reforming the Qin army.

Yang Zhen doesn't know what the future will be, but he dares not cooperate. Chen Xu will probably be the first to attack Yang. With Chen Xu's current status in the world and court, it is easy to get a Jiuqing who has resigned and returned home to retire. Yang Zhen ran thousands of miles to Xianyang to curry favor with Chen Xu. Unexpectedly, when he met, he gave him a big easter egg and a bucket of cold water poured him into hell.

The Yanmen Pass incident has become angry, and now it has reached a very serious point. If the army's structure and management cannot be refined more, the soldiers still do not have much national concepts like emperors' private soldiers, and they only serve as targets such as official titles and rewards, then a problem will occur sooner or later. Moreover, Wang Li, a playboy who basically learns military tactics but relies on his ancestors to control the army, will only become more disintegrating in the future. If the emperor ignores things like Yanmen Pass, the confrontation between the people and the court will only become stronger and stronger, and the resentment will become deeper.

The thousand-mile dike was destroyed by ant holes, and the volcanoes were only erupted when they were accumulated to an unconcealable point.

Yang Zhen followed Chen Xu, surrounded by a large group of officials walking around him and asked Yang Tong's situation when he returned to his hometown to retire. Yang Zhen replied, watching the extremely majestic gate of the Chaogong Hall step by step, and felt more and more distressed, as if this was a gate of hell, and once he stepped in, he would be doomed.

Because as long as he speaks, he will offend the Wang family, the top nobleman of the Qin Dynasty.

Yang Zhen took a step by step, taking a devil-like step, looking at the back of the young man who was chatting and laughing in front of him tremblingly, and his bitter heart slowly calmed down.

He stretched his head and shrank his head, and offended the Hou of Qinghe, probably more terrifying than offending the Wang family. He has already reached this point now, and apart from being determined, he can never find another way to go.

The Yang family, or the old grandfather Yang Tong, who was almost buried in the country, has become the first shield for Qinghehou to fight against the Wang family.

It doesn't matter whether it can be blocked or not. It's mainly because such a thing must be held in your hand, so that this battle will appear more formal.

All the officials took off their shoes and went to the hall, and found their own seats to sit down.
