"This time Yang Zhen rebelled, even the county soldiers were involved."
"So I feel it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation on the county soldiers!"
"Considering that the Prime Minister is responsible for thousands of chickens every day, this matter might as well be reviewed by the orphan himself."
"I wonder what Guocheng thinks?"
You old man, you turned out to have such a plan!
Gongsun He suddenly understood.
What a thorough investigation of the county soldiers is just a cover!
Ji Lie's real purpose is to capture the county soldiers!
But before Gongsun He could refuse, he saw Ji Lie shake Yang Zhen's confession, take out a small seal, and play with it in the palm of his hand.
Gongsunhe's pupils shrank suddenly, and he recognized it at a glance. It was the military seal representing the captain.
Damn Yang Zhen, he even handed over the military seal!
He couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
Now that the captain's military seal is controlled by Ji Lie, even if he doesn't agree, what can he do?
Besides, if he presented this confession to the court, he would be doomed!
Gongsun He thought about it over and over again and had no choice but to swallow his anger and say,
"What the prince said is absolutely true, I... have no objections!"
"No objection is best!"
Ji Lie showed a satisfied smile.
"But I hope the prince can abide by the agreement."
Gongsunhe said coldly.
"That's natural."
Ji Lie smiled.
Gongsunhe glanced at Ji Lie coldly, turned and left without saying a word.
"It's so satisfying, it's so satisfying to see Gongsunhe so miserable!"
Zhang Changde on the side burst out laughing, and then said with some confusion,
"Your Majesty, now that we have a strong army and strong horses, why are we negotiating terms with Gongsun He? Wouldn't it be over if we just destroy him?"
"Gongsunhe has been operating in Youdi for so many years, and his influence is deeply intertwined."
"Based on Yang Zhen's confession alone, it is still difficult to bring him down."
"If we attack him directly, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Ji Lie explained.
"What the prince said makes sense, and all my subordinates listen to the prince."
Zhang Changde nodded.
"But don't worry, Gongsun He won't be able to dance for long."
Ji Lie showed a sneer.
As Zhang Changde said, after losing control of the county soldiers, Gongsunhe became a toothless tiger.
I can completely eradicate his influence step by step!
…
Gongsunhe left the palace with an expressionless face and went straight to the county government office.
After sitting in the lobby for a while, he ordered his servants,
"Go and invite Yu Changshi!"
Not long after, Yu Jing rushed over.
"I've met Guocheng! I wonder what the result will be when Guocheng goes to see the prince?"
Yu Jing saluted Gongsun He with concern.
"not so good!"
Gongsunhe sighed and told Yu Jing how they met!
"Guocheng's move is too confusing!"
After Yu Jing heard this, he was immediately surprised!
After the Black Mountain bandits were eliminated by Ji Lie, the county soldiers were Gongsunhe's only force.
Now Gongsunhe has handed over the county soldiers again, weakening his own power and making Ji Lie even more powerful!
Once something changes, I'm afraid Gongsun He won't even be able to protect himself!
"What if I don't pay?"
Gongsunhe said angrily.
The captain's military seal fell into Ji Lie's hands.
The county soldiers loyal to Yang Zhen were either killed or captured.
In essence, he had lost control of the county soldiers.
Not bad, Ji Lie also used Yang Zhen's confession to threaten Gongsun He.
Although neither of them wanted to make the matter a big deal, once the matter became big, the court would send people to investigate.
As a prince, Ji Lie was simply imprisoned again.
Gongsunhe's attempt to murder the feudal king was punishable by death!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gongsun He was still unwilling to completely break up with Ji Lie!
"It's just that in this way, we will be passive..."
Yu Jing stroked his forehead and said with a wry smile.
"I know too."
Gongsunhe suddenly smiled mysteriously and whispered,
"But I just received news that the imperial court has sent a new person to the palace."
"Oh? I wonder who it is?"
Yu Jing was refreshed and asked quickly.
They have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, just hoping that the new person will come soon.
So that we can join forces with him to suppress Ji Lie!
"Mr. Beidi, Yang Qing!"
Hearing this name, Yu Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and said,
"It would be best if Mr. Beidi comes!"
As a native of Youzhou, Yu Jing had naturally heard of Yang Qing's name and knew that Yang Qing was an upright man with a reputation all over the world.
He will definitely fulfill his duties and will not sit back and watch Ji Lie's ambitions develop.
When a conflict breaks out between the two sides, if Ji Lie takes action against Yang Qing, he is afraid that celebrities all over the world will attack him!
"It's just that Mr. Beidi has always had great talents, how could he be sent to be the servant of the prince's palace?"
Yu Jing said with some doubts.
"Who knows?"
Gongsunhe shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly,
"As long as he can help us deal with King You, that's enough."
Yu Jing nodded and said nothing more.
…
On the official road in Youzhou, several horses came slowly from a distance.
The leader has an elegant temperament and bright eyes. He is none other than Yang Qing, who was sent to Prince You's Mansion.
Following him was a tall man with a beard, wearing a broad knife on his back.
Followed by several young men in green clothes, they carried a lot of luggage on their horses.
"Brother Yang, as long as you pass the front, you will enter the boundaries of Youzhou City."
"When you get back to the city, you have to invite me to get drunk with the fairy brew!"
The big man laughed and said to Yang Qing.
His real name is Shen Wu, and he was originally a ranger from Youzhou.
He had a case on his back in his early years, but thanks to Yang Qing's help, he was able to avoid jail time.
Over time, the two became close friends.
Shen Wu has been following Yang Qing, acting as his bodyguard.
"A jar of fine Drunken Immortal Brew costs more than ten taels of silver, which I can't afford."
Yang Qing quickly shook his head.
"Brother Yang can't afford it, so there is still King You."
"Since he brewed the Zuixian Brewing, he wouldn't refuse to invite Brother Yang to drink it, right?"
Shen Wu joked.
After learning that Yang Qing had been appointed as the head of Prince You's Mansion, Duan Chang, as a student, did not come to greet him, but he sent someone to deliver a letter.
He wrote everything he knew about Ji Lie in the letter.
Yang Qing and Shen Wu were both shocked after reading it.
None of them expected that the expensive Zuixian Brewing, which is now popular throughout Great Xia, would be brewed by Ji Lie!
What surprised Yang Qing even more was that in order to compete with Gongsun Qing and Duan Chang, Ji Lie actually wrote a stunning and beautiful poem for the brothel girl.
When he thought of this, Yang Qing couldn't help but feel angry.
"A waste of natural resources, a real waste of natural resources!"
"Isn't it just a poem? Why does Brother Yang keep thinking about it?"
Shen Wu said doubtfully.
He is a rough man and naturally does not understand the beauty of poetry.
"Wild boars can't eat fine chaff, what do you know?"
Yang Qing rolled his eyes.
