Eastern capital, Luoyang, full garden.

In the basement of Tianzihao, the atmosphere is dull, the air has become unusually turbid because of lack of ventilation, the butter candle on the wall is crackling and burning, and the rosin is mixed with the smell of butter, exuding a strange smell that chokes people, but because of the fragrance of some mint added to it, it makes people's brains extra sober.

Wang Shichong and Yang Xuangan sat face-to-face on both sides of the round table, their expressions were very serious, and the atmosphere seemed very dull for a while, and after a long time, Wang Shichong sighed: "Miaocai, when will it start, I have nothing to say to me?" Don't you and my brother have nothing to say about the years that have passed? ”

Yang Xuan said coldly: "What do you want me to tell you?" Listen to you tell the legend of the god of war who swept all directions in Goguryeo? ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, took a sip of the tea soup in front of him, and said: "I tried my best to fool Yang Guang into the bottomless black hole of Goguryeo in front of me to continue to fill his national strength, material resources, and manpower, isn't it also for our future troubles, if we don't throw his army, his grain and grass, and his people's hearts into it, how can we rebel in the future?" Do you think that now that I am a big official, I will not think about it? ”

Yang Xuangan sneered: "Yang Guang and you don't have a grudge against your father, you used to be a small official, afraid of people calculating, so I sharpened my head and wanted to find those of us who have a deep hatred for Yang Guang, thinking that it was a helping hand, now it seems that there is no need for this, I heard that Yang Guang now regards you as the number one think tank, and he has to ask you for advice on everything, this time Yuwenshu wants to harm you, and he even sent you to the sea to Hu'er's men in order to protect you." And there you have done a great job. almost destroyed the country with a biased teacher. ”

"Now Yang Guang has gone to Liaoxi. Rearmament again, almost none of the generals who traveled last time could be released back to reunite with their families, only you, Wang Shichong, not only promoted this time, but also returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to help him kill Zhang Heng, deal with a lot of political affairs, and have such a grace of knowledge. I won't rebel if I change it. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Is it that Li Mi poured you some ecstasy soup again, dividing your feelings from me?" ”

Yang Xuangan replied without thinking: "Wang Shichong, I don't have any feelings for you, if you really want to say that there is, it's just a before, based on cooperation based on common interests, if you can help me avenge my father's revenge, you and I are naturally brothers, but now you don't want to help me avenge this revenge at all, then between you and me." There's not much more to say, today is probably the last time you and I will meet. In the future, everyone will return to the bridge, return to the road, and go their own way. ”

Wang Shichong's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" Don't work with me anymore? ”

Yang Xuangan sneered: "Cooperate with you? I'm afraid that I won't have to take revenge in my life. Tell me, what did you do for me? You gave Xu Gai a large sum of money to let him return to China from Goguryeo to start an incident, but what did you do to me? Don't you know what I want? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "You really planted eyeliner and eyes and ears next to Xu Gai." ”

Yang Xuangan's face sank: "Wang Shichong, you like to use others too much, and you like to control everything yourself, but you must know that no one wants to be someone else's pawn, and no one wants to do that kind of thing for others." The friendship between you and me has been ten years, and our planning and rebellion have been more than ten years, but today, my Yang family is ruined, and now the family is in the middle of the road, but you Wang Shichong is on the rise and has become Yang Guang's favorite minister, you act like this, I find it hard to believe that you will give up everything now for the revenge of my Yang family. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "Yang Xuangan, you also said just now, I gave Xu Gai a large sum of money to let him go back to China to make trouble, if I want to be Yang Guang's loyal minister, will I still do this?" ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes flashed with coldness: "You want people like Xu Gai to make trouble among the people, so that you have the opportunity to lead the troops to exterminate him, otherwise, how can you show the importance of your Wang Shichong?" ”

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Is this what Li Mi taught you again?" ”

Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "No matter who told me, isn't that the case?" Xu Gai, Dou Jiande, these people, are reckless heroes, if it is really a grass people you don't know, the king of the mountain, that is, the general bandits, the state and county soldiers can be exterminated, not their level and ability, and they can't move you Wang Shichong out of the horse, now that Yang Guang's army is outside, only you Wang Shichong can stabilize the country. Isn't it? ”

Wang Shichong knew that Yang Xuangan had completely moved Li Mi, and probably now he also had a stomach of opinions on himself, and he couldn't persuade him back in a few words, so he picked up the tea, took another sip, and said indifferently: "Since you have decided that I Wang Shichong has such a plan, why do you want to see me today?" Learn from that Li Mi, directly tore his face, and his face was gone, isn't it better? ”

Yang Xuangan sneered: "Because I still have a glimmer of hope for you, I think that although you are now prosperous and rich, you are still insecure in Yang Guang, if you are willing to turn back, cooperate with us, and overthrow the tyrant, you will have long-term peace and wealth." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Yang Xuangan, you are not a person who values me, but you value that I may have the right to counter-rebel, and if you want to win me over in the future, you can easily get the world." ”

Yang Xuangan's face turned slightly red: "This, originally everyone just used each other." If you didn't have something worthy of our cooperation, I wouldn't be here today, isn't this a truth that you used to say? ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is true, but what can you give me?" This time, I, Wang Shichong, may indeed become the Eastern Capital Guard, but now you are just a rich man, with the title of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but there is not a single soldier, do you think that you can rebel by relying on your hundreds of family members? ”

Yang Xuangan said coldly: "I naturally have a full plan, and I will raise troops in Guanzhong, I only ask you, if I raise troops, what will you do?" ”

Wang Shichong's eyes sparkled: "You want to raise troops?" Yang Xuangan, now is not the time, Yang Guang's main force is still there, he can return to China at any time, his people's hearts have not been lost, wait for another two years, two years later, Yang Guang's country is rotten at home, we will naturally join hands and push it gently, and it will collapse. ”

Yang Xuan laughed: "Two years? When my father forced Yang Guang to die, you also said that you would wait for two years, but two years later, two years later, two years later, and two years later, eight years have passed, has Yang Guang's country fallen? With you giving him his life, I look at his country, thousands of generations! (To be continued.) )
