8} It coincides with the good weather this year, there are bumper harvests of grain in various places, and Lin'an, which has been dismantled by the scorching heat for several months, is full of vitality. Five elements and eight works, three teachings and nine streams, bustling, lively.

On a street in the south city of Lin'an, there are restaurants on both sides, and it is the time when the guests come and go and eat at all times. At this time, a guest came over on the street, wearing a Fan Yang felt hat and a green coat. Walk into a shop called Four Seas Hotel. The guest looked around, this shop is not too big, there are more than ten tables, there are two empty at this time, most of the people who eat are roadmen, Baitou Ping, and idlers in the market. Talking while eating.

When the shopkeeper saw the guests coming, he immediately got up and came to greet them. The guest sat down at an empty table, asked for two side dishes, a jug of wine, and drank to himself.

At this time, a voice of conversation came from the adjacent table: "Have you heard that General Xiao Yang won another battle in the south. ”

When the guest in Tsing Yi heard this, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at the adjacent table, and saw six or seven people sitting on a table of eight immortals, all of whom were dressed as idlers in the market, one of whom was in his forties, five short figures, and a man with two weasels: "I heard that this time, General Xiao Yang defeated the 100,000 army of the chaotic army with only 5,000 men and horses. And none of my own people were injured. ”

He made a gesture while talking, talking about the process of this battle vividly, in fact, what he said was completely different from the actual battle situation, but he exaggerated Yang Yan to be extremely brave, as if this battle was won by him alone.

One of them stuck out his tongue and said, "General Xiao Yang is really powerful, he defeated the Jin army before, and now he has defeated the Manichaean army, it seems that our Great Song Dynasty is going to produce another famous general." I think I'm afraid that even Yue Wumu back then couldn't compare himself to him. ”

Another said, "Haven't you heard? General Xiao Yang was born from the reincarnation of Yue Wumu. Otherwise, he is young, how can he be so powerful, I heard that the chaotic army in the south is all demonic, all of them are invulnerable, and their strength is infinite, and what else will they call for wind and rain, and scatter beans into soldiers. Before General Xiao Yang, Wu Jiedu was not defeated by the chaotic army. As a result, General Xiao Yang immediately calmed down as soon as he arrived in the south, if it wasn't for the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, how could this be? ”

Several other people nodded their heads when they heard this, and the people in Tsing Yi listened to it on the side, and a slight smile appeared on their lips.

At this time, the weasel beard said again: "You don't know yet, in fact, this General Xiao Yang is a rich and noble life, and his future prospects are limitless." ”

One said: "Yes, yes, you think, he is still so young that he has become a member of the way, and in the future, he will definitely wait for the king." ”

Several other people also nodded their heads again and again, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Weasel Hu glanced at them and said, "What is the reason for waiting to worship the king?" General Xiao Yang's future is much more than that. ”

The man in Tsing Yi listened to it, his eyes immediately sharpened, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to their conversation.

The weasel beard suppressed a little voice and said: "According to my opinion, General Xiao Yang can face the south and turn his back to the north, and when he ascends the throne and sits in the palace. ”

The other people were startled at first, but immediately became interested again, and said, "Why do you say that, aren't you afraid that the officials will hear it?" ”

Weasakhu rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of?" The official will come to this small shop, and besides, it is because of our brothers' friendship that I will tell you, who else will hear this except our brothers? Will you speak out? ”

Several other people nodded frequently, and they all said, "No, no." ”

The weasel Hu Shen said secretly: "Everyone knows that Yue Wumu died unjustly back then, and God also knows that it is unfair to Yue Wumu, so after being reincarnated as General Xiao Yang, it was personally approved by the Jade Emperor, and he has the blessing of the Son of Heaven for twenty years." ”

One humane: "Do you mean that General Xiao Yang will rebel?" ”

Weasel Hu glared at him and said, "Yue Wumu is loyal to the imperial court, how could his reincarnation rebel?" But now although the emperor is still alive, he is not young, and the prince has always been sick, but he is afraid that he will not be able to sit on the throne for a few days after succeeding to the throne, and the prince has never had an heir, at that time, except for General Xiao Yang, who else will sit in this position? ”

In fact, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the relative environment is relatively relaxed, and the control of folk speech is not very strict, so there are not too many scruples about speaking between the small people in the market.

Weasakhu said again, "I'll tell you one more thing." Last night, I passed by General Xiaoyang's mansion and saw two red lights in their courtyard rushing straight to the sky, which showed that it was the destiny of heaven, and no one could stop it. Besides, the throne of Emperor Taizu of our Great Song Dynasty was not clear, and now his descendants have been sitting for more than 200 years, and it is time to change people. ”

Several people spoke for another time, then paid and dispersed. After they left, the man in Tsing Yi also counted the wine and food accounts and went out.

******************************

But soon, rumors about Yang Yan spread in Lin'anman, some said that Yang Yan had a heart of disobedience, some said that Yang Yan wanted to support troops in Guangnan to respect himself, and some said that Yang Yan would establish himself as king in Guangnan, and everyone said that there were many opinions. Even many ministers heard some of it, and some of the all-pervasive imperial envoys immediately smelled the wind at this time, and wrote to impeach Yang Yan one after another. Because it was an impeachment of the imperial envoy Hu Bai, and cited Yang Yan's eight counts, it was very likely to put Yang Yan to death. For a while, Yang Yan, who was far away in the south, didn't know that he had been pushed to the forefront again.
