Yang Ming knew all that Yang Yue had done in the middle of the night.
The person who disturbed his sweet dream was named Li Xuansui.
Yang Ming had never seen this person next to Yang Yue before. Although it was the first time he met him suddenly, he did not doubt his identity.
Because what the other party described was a conspiracy between him and Yang Yue. He was not a reliable person. An old fox like Yang Yue would not let him know.
Li Xuansui, the future Li Mi of Wagang Village, succeeded the Duke of Pushan when he came of age at the age of fifteen. He was an orthodox descendant of Guanlong and he is seventeen years old this year.
He has a handsome appearance and outstanding demeanor. Although there is a huge gap in status between him and Yang Ming, he still behaves neither humble nor overbearing, and is quite magnanimous in front of Yang Ming.
Historically, Li Mi was Yang Xuangan's staff, so it's not surprising that he appears next to Yang Yue now.
"So, Yang Shaoqing is on his way to Beijing now?" Yang Ming wrapped himself in a thick cotton jacket and came to the fire, rubbing his hands to keep warm.
Li Mi followed Yang Ming's footsteps and approached the fire, nodded and said:
"If I return to Your Highness, Yang Shaoqing will escort Mr. Liu through the Mingde Gate and walk straight to the palace on Zhuque Street. But Mr. Liu will die before entering the palace."
Yang Ming looked at the fire with an expressionless face and asked calmly: "Yang Yue didn't tell me that he would massacre the soldiers of Zhechong Camp."
"In urgent matters, follow authority," Li Mi said solemnly: "Yang Shaoqing did this to be sure."
Yang Ming said: "How to convict layman Liu?"
Li Mi replied: "There is a ghost beside layman Liu, named Cui He, who encouraged layman Liu to go to the mountain pass where the king was stationed. This man is actually a dead man beside the Duke of Yue (Yang Su), and he will come forward to identify him. The person who kidnapped King Yuzhang was layman Liu, and it is also true that layman Liu raised soldiers and horses and forged weapons privately, so Yang Shaoqing will report it to the Supreme Being for treason."
It seems that Yang Yue had a premeditated plan, otherwise he wouldn't have placed two moles, Li Mi and Cui He, around Jushi Liu early. As for whether there are others, only the devil knows.
Yang Ming is still interested in Li Mi. After all, he is a big shot whose name is recorded in history books.
The opponent should be Yang Yue's person, or Yang Su's person. From this alone, we can know how powerful Yang Su is.
Many important figures such as Li Jing and Li Mi came from Yang Su's command.
Yang Ming asked again: "What does Xuansui think of the Guanzhong Alliance?"
"A rabble," Li Mi said.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
Li Mi took time to calm down and said: "As the name of the Guanzhong League suggests, all members of the Guanzhong League are either intimidated or befriended by laymen Liu. The children of the nobles in Guanzhong were recruited. There are 322 core members, including 103 after the ministers. And below, I am just an insignificant one among them.”
Yang Ming interrupted: "In my opinion, Xuan Sui's temperament is extraordinary and definitely not ordinary."
Li Mi said calmly: "Your Highness is very fond of you. I lost my father when I was young. Although I have inherited the title, my official career has been cut off. How can I compare with those children of wealthy families who are in the prime of life?"
"The establishment of the Guanzhong Alliance was driven by Jushi Liu's selfish motives. He calculated that after the crown prince ascended the throne, he could rely on his Guanzhong disciples to gain a big position in the court. The reason why everyone was snared by him was probably because of the prince's face."
"Now that Master Liu has been executed, the Guanzhong Alliance naturally falls apart in order to avoid suspicion."
Of course, Yang Ming knew this. When he knew that the Pei siblings were also in the Guanzhong League, he knew what layman Liu had planned.
The key to employing people is to employ the right people.
Li Mi is definitely unreliable, but he studied under Bao Kai, an assistant professor at the Imperial Academy, and he does have real talent and learning. If used properly, it can be a great help.
"What Xuan Sui said is so insightful and reasonable that I will ask for more advice from you in the future," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Li Mi was overjoyed to receive such praise from the other party. He quickly clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness is so complimentary that Xuan Sui is ashamed."
"Okay~" Yang Ming nodded and turned his eyes elsewhere.
Li Mi knew that this was an eviction order from the other party, so he took the opportunity to leave.
Next, we just have to wait for the news.
When someone woke him up in the middle of the night, Yang Ming couldn't sleep anymore, so he went to the tent next door to wake up Chen Shuyi, who was sleeping soundly.
The latter chatted with Yang Ming reluctantly. After chatting for a few words, Chen Shuyi tilted her head and fell directly onto the soft blanket on the ground and fell asleep again.
"There is nothing to worry about, just sleep well,"
Yang Ming brought a quilt and gently covered him with it.
.......
.......
Early in the morning, before the meeting.
Yong'an Palace.
Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo looked at Yang Yue who was kneeling in front of the hall. After the couple looked at each other, Yang Jian took the lead and said:
"Jushi Liu is dead?"
Yang Yue responded respectfully: "Back to the Second Saint, this person had fought a desperate resistance in the mountains. He was seriously injured and died before entering the palace."
"Where's the one named Cui He?" Yang Jian said calmly.
Yang Yue said: "This person is currently being held in Dali Temple."
"What's in that box you brought?" Dugu Jialuo asked.
"After returning to the Holy Land, I have collected all the evidence against Layman Liu during this period of my humble life. Several of them are already deceiving the heavens."
In fact, Yang Yue has been preparing the stuff inside for many years, and it is more comprehensive than what Yang Ming has in hand.
Dugu Jialuo raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at his husband Yang Jian, and ordered Yang Yue to present the contents of the box.
After the couple read it, Dugu Jialuo said:
"You convey the Supreme Lord's decree, and command Luo Rong, the general of Zuojianmen, to lead three thousand soldiers and horses, raid Liu's mansion, deprive him of his position as general, and keep him under observation."
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
.......
After Yang Yue left, Dugu Jialuo looked at his husband with a smile:
"You've also read Alou's letter, how's it going?"
Yang Jian stood up and let the maid change his court clothes. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Why does this kid have so many evil ideas? Maybe Yang Yue is instigating this behind his back."
Dugu frowned and said, "Do you still think that Yang Yue instigated him? Ah Lou's letter made it very clear that the whole thing was jointly planned by Yang Yue and Qilin'er, and even to a large extent, Qilin'er was the leader. host."
"Then who did he learn these tactics from?" Yang Jian said speechlessly: "I didn't teach him."
Dugu Jialuo stepped forward and waved away the maid, changed his husband's clothes himself, and said with a smile:
"This child has been raised by us since he was a child. He has only been out of the palace a few times. Who can he learn from?"
Although Yang Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was actually quite happy inside.
Who can I learn from? Didn’t you learn it by being around your own couple for a long time?
"How are the arrangements with Zhao Chuo?"
Empress Dugu said: "Don't worry, I have already said hello. As long as the matter is mentioned in the court meeting today, he will present what he has in his hand to the civil and military officials of the court."
At this time, Yang Jian seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously:
"Why did Qilin'er get involved in Yu Wenshu's son's matter? And he went to find Yang Da? Isn't he tired?"
Dugu Jialuo laughed and said:
"What is this? He dares to drag Lihua into the water."
Yang Jian looked stunned, then smiled bitterly:
"Let him become a vassal as soon as possible. If he is kept in the palace, he might cause some trouble."
"The child is underage, so the feudal clan is not in line with the ancestral system at this time," Dugu said with a frown.
"What ancestral system?" Yang Jian said: "I am the one who founded the Sui Dynasty. What I say is the ancestral system."
Duguhou snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
"Look at you, are you worthy of being angry?"
Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo had a very deep relationship. When they saw this, they hurried forward to coax them. The couple had been in love for decades and never changed for a moment.
