After Mo Gusheng led the people away, an official asked Xue Jingxian: "My lord, Gu Mosheng is just a small servant from the sixth grade, and you are a dignified fourth-grade master, do you need to be so polite to him?" This Gu Mosheng looked arrogant, and the lower officials were not happy when they saw him! ”

An official next to him chimed in: "Yes, my lord! Isn't it just a servant of the imperial history, what hanging? My lord, we don't need to be afraid of him! ”

Xue Jingxian shook his head and said, "You don't understand, it's not a matter of being afraid or not." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Now it's different from the past, the imperial court is vigorously rectifying the rule of officials, and judging from the various measures and implementation of the imperial court, this time the determination is very great. Our regent is not so easy to fool, he said that if he wants to rectify the rule of officials, then he must rectify it to the end, and he will always stick to it! Now the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, which used to be the Qingshui Yamen, have become hot yamen in the blink of an eye, and there is no benefit in making enemies with these yamen. Although this official is honest and honest, not corrupt or corrupt, but in the officialdom, many times it will be smooth sailing if you are not honest, if someone wants to harm you and deliberately rectify you, you can fabricate something and arrest you in prison. It's better to have a good relationship with these people than to offend them! ”

An official was puzzled and asked, "My lord, do you think that the regent's storm of rectifying the rule of officials this time is not a whim, and this storm will not be a gust of wind, and it will be forgotten when it passes, but will continue to blow?" ”

Xue Jingxian nodded and said, "It's very likely!" ”

Another official said: "If this storm continues to blow, won't this officialdom be unpeaceful all the time, putting everyone in danger, and who will have the heart to deal with government affairs in the future?" ”

Xue Jingxian smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the official who spoke, and asked, "If you are honest and honest as an official, and your hands and feet are clean, what are you worried about?" Will the Goshidai get you in trouble for no reason? ”

"Uh, this ·······"

Five days later, from the direction of Xichuan came another team, is a caravan, the number is quite large, there are more than 200 people, the new Xichuan Jiedu envoy Xuan Yang disguised himself as the captain of the caravan guard, some time ago he received a letter from Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan asked him to enter Beijing to discuss important matters, Xuan Yang thought that since Cui Yuan secretly sent someone to send a special letter, the matter to be discussed must be a big deal, after careful consideration, he decided to disguise himself as a caravan to Chang'an, and meet Cui Yuan secretly, but what he didn't expect was that Cui Yuan sold him in order to keep the Cui family, He was deceived out of Xichuan by Cui Yuan.

In a small courtyard in Hanzhong City, Gu Mosheng was writing a report to Wu Cheng in the imperial history about the detailed process and interrogation of Du Hongjian and Han Cheng, when a pavilion chief came over and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, people are here!" ”

Gu Mosheng immediately put down the brush, got up and walked to the door of the hall, only to see a woodcutter dressed in gray and wearing a hat walking in and clasping his fist at Gu Mosheng and said, "Lord Gu! ”

Gu Mosheng bowed his hand and asked, "Your Excellency is the person sent by General Xuan?" ”

"It's a certain house! A certain family came to inform Lord Gu that there was a caravan fifty miles to the south, and all the people in this caravan were dressed up as the personal soldiers of the caravan, and the caravan himself was also among them, dressed as the captain of the caravan's escort! ”

Gu Mosheng exclaimed: "This urging is too bold, isn't it?" ”

The gray-clothed woodcutter hugged his fists and said: "The news has been brought, there is still something to do, before leaving, remind Lord Gu, you only have one chance, if you are urged to flee back to Xichuan, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Gu Mosheng's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand: "Gu knows the severity, thank you for the reminder of the strong man, the strong man is easy to go!" ”

After sending away the spies who reported the news, Gu Mosheng immediately came to the Liangzhou Soldiers and Horses to ask for a meeting with Guo Yinggan, Guo Yinggan is Guo Yinggan's younger brother, and he has always been worried about urging him to kill his brother Guo Yingyi, and he often wants to find Xuanyang to take revenge, but he has been suffering from no chance.

"What? You said that he had arrived outside the south gate with more than 200 people disguised as a caravan, preparing to secretly go to Chang'an? Guo Yinggan was taken aback after listening to Gu Mosheng's words.

Gu Mosheng took out an edict: "Yes, this official came here this time to find the general to borrow troops to surround Xuan Yan and other subordinates!" This is the edict of the regent palace, this official came this time to have a major mission, in addition to arresting Du Hongjian and Han Cheng, but also to arrest the traitor back to Chang'an for trial, according to the regent edict, the king has the right to requisition the general's soldiers and horses, please cooperate with the general, this matter is very important, and please also order the general to quickly send troops to surround the caravan of the urging, and never let go of a person! ”

Hearing this, Guo Yinggan looked up at the direction of the South City Gate and said coldly: "Hmph, urging, you also have today!" ”

After speaking, Guo Yinggan said to Gu Mosheng: "Don't worry, Lord Gu, this general will order troops to surround the caravan!" ”

"Wait!" Gu Mosheng grabbed Guo Yinggan's sleeve and said: "General Guo, this official knows that the death of Brother Ling Guo Yingyi is not unrelated to urging, but he is a chaotic minister and thief, and he is a repeat offender of the court, and the court wants to punish him with a canonical punishment, and the official hopes that the general will not be rash, and it is absolutely undesirable to find him for personal revenge after arresting him, if the general really does this, he will return and harm himself!" For the evil things he has done, he will be punished by the laws of the court! ”

Guo Yinggan gasped and clenched his fists, after all, he was still no match for Gu Mosheng's righteous and awe-inspiring gaze, he calmed down and said, "Okay, General Ben believes that the imperial court will punish him according to the law!" ”

In the afternoon, the caravan arrived outside the city of Hanzhong, but did not enter the city, just outside the city to find a vacant land camp, ready to spend the night here, this kind of thing is not unusual, the cost of a large caravan into the city is too high, everyone has to collect the city gate tax, if the whole caravan passes through any city to enter the city, then this business is only afraid of making no money, generally large caravans are camped outside the city, send people into the city to buy living supplies for supplies.

Before the others had completely set up the camp, Guo Yinggan brought a large number of soldiers and horses to surround them from both sides, and it was too late for them to run at this time, and they were soon surrounded by Guo Yinggan and his troops.

The caravan steward came out to negotiate with Guo Yinggan: "This general, I don't know why you brought your troops here?" Why are you surrounding us and other businessmen? ”

Guo Yinggan ignored him, waved his hand, and a large number of archers opened their bows and arrows to aim at Xuan Yang and his personal soldiers, although they had fought a lot of battles, but the personal soldiers under the command of Xuan Yang were also afraid at this time, and looked at the army surrounding them in panic with weapons.

Guo Yinggan shouted loudly to the caravan: "Urging, what kind of hero is the one who hides his head and shrinks his tail?" Now, do you think you can still escape? Why don't you come out and see it? ”

After a while, Xuan Yan, who was disguised as the captain of the guard, walked out with a sword and asked, "Guo Yinggan, how do you know that I am in this caravan?" ”

"Hahaha······" Guo Yinggan laughed, "Urging, do you think that if you are hiding in Xichuan, the court will really have nothing to do with you?" Do you think that if you gather some soldiers and horses to rebel and cause trouble, the court will not be able to cure you? You are so naïve. Even if you are a god reincarnated today, you will not be able to escape! Tell thy men to lay down their weapons, and why do you inflict more casualties? ”

Knowing that this situation had fallen into a desperate situation, and there was no possibility of escaping, he was immediately disheartened, but he didn't want to fall into Guo Yinggan's hands, he was killed by Guo Yinggan, and lifted the sword on his neck, which immediately provoked the soldiers around him to exclaim: "General, no!" ”

Xuan Yan said loudly: "Put down your weapons, to this point, it is enough for me to die, how can I bear to let you wait to follow me to death in vain?" Put down your weapons, the person Guo Yinggan wants to kill is me, it has nothing to do with you, I order you to put down your weapons! ”

After hearing this, the soldiers hesitated for a while, and then they all dropped their weapons one after another.

Xuan Yang then said loudly to Guo Yinggan: "The surname is Guo, I, Cui, would rather die in my own hands than be tortured to death by you!" ”

"Wait!" A loud shout came from behind Guo Yinggan, and I saw Gu Mosheng leading the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory through the gaps in the soldiers to the inner circle.

Gu Mosheng said to him: "Cui Yang, you gathered a crowd to rebel, for the disaster of Xichuan, causing hundreds of people in Xichuan to die in the war, you just want to die like this, isn't it too cheap?" ”

Cui Yan was furious when he heard this: "I'll wipe it, Lao Tzu himself wants to die about your?" Where the did you pop up? ”

Gu Mosheng arched his hand and said: "This official Yu Shi Taitai Yuan serves Yu Shi Gu Mosheng, and today I am ordered to come to arrest you and bring you back to Beijing for trial!" ”

Cui Yang's face changed, and he asked, "How did you know that I would be here?" ”

"No comment! Cui Yan, go back to Chang'an with this official, you can't just die! By the way, don't you want to see Cui Yuan again? ”

Cui Yang's face changed again, and he said with a hideous face: "Cui Yuan? That's right, it must be Cui Yuan, it must be him, an old thief, who betrayed me, otherwise you wouldn't have known that I would be here! ”

Gu Mosheng waved his hand to Cui Yang, and the officials walked over with weapons to take his sword and put shackles on him.

February 12, Regent's Palace.

Gao Shang found Zhao Ziliang and reported: "King, Du Hongji, Han Cheng and Cui Yang have been captured and are currently being escorted to the city, the latest news shows that they have passed the Great Scattered Pass!" In addition, Wang Sili has gathered Dongchuan soldiers and horses to enter the territory of Xichuan, all parts of Xichuan were shocked and did not dare to act rashly, and many officials and generals began to contact Wang Sili and show loyalty to the imperial court! The situation in Nishikawa has stabilized! ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and stood up, he was extremely excited, and transferred Dongchuan's soldiers and horses to Xichuan to deter the generals from all over Xichuan.

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Immediately convene the ministers to discuss the matter of cutting the domain of Jiannan Dao, this matter cannot be delayed!" ”

"Yes, the lower official will send someone to inform you immediately!"
