The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

These people are completely controlled by the generals recruited by Jin Chanwen, and Yang Heng's apprentices and former generals have no way of intervening.

Because of this, Liu Yue, Han Ming, and Shou Ming complained to Yang Heng several times, hoping to break up these troops and organize them into the army, so as to make up for the losses caused by the war.

But Yang Heng directly rejected them this time. The reason was that these people had fought against them. If they were included in the army, they might be excluded. It is better to let them form another army.

In this way, Yang Heng's army has now been divided into three groups, one is the old generals headed by Han Ming and Liu Yue.

The other group is more than 2 people led by apprentice Yang Heng and others.

The other is the newly formed army of more than 4 captives.

Just when Yang Heng had just completed the reorganization, drastic changes took place on the battlefield in Shandong.

Dugong Li gathered nearly 10 people and started to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect again.

But this time the White Lotus Sect was even more difficult than last time. They fought near Jinan City for nearly a month, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

But as the war progressed, the White Lotus Sect was able to receive a steady stream of supplements, and as time went by, its combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.

On Li Dugong's side, although it is said that they have won several battles, the soldiers under his command are slowly getting tired and have switched from offense to defense.

In the near future, there were less than 6 people under Dugong Li's command, and he was surrounded by tens of 10 people from the White Lotus Sect in Jinan City.

That is to say, under such circumstances, the imperial court had to send another decree to ask Yang Heng to lead the rescue.

After Yang Heng received the order, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he ordered the army under his command to start rectification, and waited for his orders at any time to prepare for the expedition.

……

In Yang Heng's mansion this day, Yang Heng also asked Erya and Jin Chanwen to prepare their bags.

For these tasks, these two naturally don't need to do it, and the maids below will help them clean it up.

However, although Jin Chan Wen didn't need to pack his own things, he needed Jin Chan Wen to do it himself for Yang Heng's clothes and clothing for the expedition.

It's not that Yang Heng doesn't have a maid, but that Jin Chanwen always handles Yang Heng's personal things by himself, and never pretends to others.

And Yang Heng looked at Jin Chan Wen under the light, and after busying himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jin Chanwen prepared two large packages for Yang Heng, which contained all the clothes Yang Heng needed for his birth.

After tidying up, Jin Chanwen looked up, only to see Yang Heng looking at her and smiling.

Jin Chanwen shook her head, stood up, sat down beside Yang Heng, then looked into his eyes and said, "Sir, are you going to leave Kaifeng like this?"

Yang Heng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then what should we do?"

"Master, have you ever thought about it? Once you leave Kaifeng this time, your influence in Henan will be wiped out by the imperial court. Then you will become a rootless seedling again, and you will have to rely on the imperial court for every word and deed." .”

Yang Heng frowned again when he heard this, he stood up and walked around the room a few times, then suddenly turned around and said: "If that's the case, I'm afraid I will soon lose absolute control over the army .”

After all, after there is no base, the food and salaries of these troops must be relied on by the imperial court. Once the imperial court is annoyed, these troops will have no food and no salary, and will soon become a mess.

This is not what Yang Heng wants to see.

Now Yang Heng's control over the army is getting tighter and tighter. Almost every soldier who wants to be mobilized needs Yang Heng's warrant.

This was also Yang Heng's instinctive thought, he wanted to put these troops under his absolute control, so that he could feel a little bit of safety.

"In Madam's opinion, how should I act?"

Jin Chanwen stood up, walked to Yang Heng's side prettyly, stared into his eyes and said, "If you know the truth, you are not a gentleman if you are small, and you are not a husband if you are not poisonous. Why not send an army to take over the whole of Henan."

Yang Heng was taken aback when he heard the golden cicada pattern. If he really did this, it would be no different from rebellion.

"Impossible, no matter what I say, I am also the imperial court's national teacher, how can I do such a rebellious thing?"

"Msister, this is not treason, it's just self-protection, and with your strength, even if you go too far, as long as you don't openly rebel, the court will pinch your nose and admit it."

Yang Heng didn't immediately agree. He stood there looking at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Yang Heng said: "This matter can be done, but after it is done, we still have to go east to Shandong. This can be regarded as an explanation to the court."

Jin Chanwen's eyes are now full of smiles, "Okay, everything is according to my husband."

Yang Heng also smiled, and gently touched Jin Chanwen's face.

"Then why don't you hurry up and deliver the order?"

After hearing Yang Heng's words, Jin Chanwen hurriedly gave Yang Heng a blessing, and then left the study.

When Yang Heng was left alone in the study, the smile on his face had disappeared, and his eyes were gloomy.

Besides, Jin Chanwen quickly conveyed the order, and Yang Heng's troops also started to dispatch.

That night, the governor of Henan and the prefect of Kaifeng sent by the imperial court were captured by Yang Heng.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Heng's military order spread to the whole of Henan.

In only three days, Yang Heng had completely controlled the military and political power in Henan.

At this time, the imperial court still didn't know that Henan had become a semi-independent state, and it still kept sending orders to Yang Heng to urge the army to advance.

However, these military orders seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news in the end. Only then did the court know that something was wrong.

Next, the spies sent by the old eunuch began to infiltrate Henan.

What Yang Heng did could not be concealed, so soon the Emperor of Shunde got a report from his subordinates saying that Yang Heng had imprisoned Henan officials sent by the imperial court, and almost took over all the military and political power in Henan. hands.

The Emperor Shunde immediately exploded in anger.

"This traitorous minister, I treat him well. I never thought that he would stab me in the back in the end."

Immediately afterwards, a jade paperweight was thrown from the imperial case.

The old eunuch standing next to the emperor also had a gloomy face now. He originally thought that Yang Heng was a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth, but he didn't expect him to make a show of it.

"Companion, what do you think we should do next?"

The old eunuch thought for a while, and then said: "Long live, the world is in turmoil now, and the masters of all sects and sects have all left the stage. We have very little power to use now, and it can be said that we can withstand those sects of cultivation. The only one left is Yang Heng. So we can't turn against him for the time being, we can only be hypocritical, and temporarily stabilize him, and when the world is calm and our dragon veins recover, it will not be too late to deal with him."

After hearing this, Emperor Shunde suppressed his anger reluctantly, thought for a while, and then said: "This is also a way, if this Taoist surnamed Yang and the masters of all sects can lose both, then it would be great. "

The old lady's eyes lit up after listening, and then said in a low voice: "Long live, this is not impossible."

"Oh, if you have any ideas, I'll listen to them."

"Long live God, Yang Heng's ability can be said to be powerful in the world, and now is the most critical moment to seize the Dragon Court. Those sects have already regarded Yang Heng as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. If one sect can't resist Yang Heng, they will definitely unite for the luck of the Fulong Court, and clean up Yang Heng first."

Chapter 560 Contradictions

After listening to the old eunuch's words, Emperor Shunde lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "We are too passive like this, who knows what Yang Heng has in mind, if he suddenly joins the team of rebels, what will happen to us?" Wouldn't it just make things worse?"

"Then in the opinion of Long Live God, what should we do?"

Emperor Shunde's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly he slapped the table and stood up and said: "You let the people under your hand spread the news, saying that Yang Heng is domineering and has almost controlled the court."

After listening to the old lady, she nodded immediately, and then said: "Long Live Lord's move is really good, those experts from various schools and factions just don't fully believe the news, and will pay close attention to Yang Heng in the end." , regard him as the first obstacle to Fulongting."

Emperor Shunde stroked his beard and sat on the throne.

"You are sending someone to contact my grandson of the fifth emperor. See if he can dismantle Yang Heng's power from within, and ask him to launch a mutiny if necessary."

The old lady was stunned for a moment after listening, and then said with some hesitation: "Is it too risky for the Lord Long Live to do this? If the fifth emperor's grandson has any flaws and let Yang Heng catch him, he will definitely not escape his life."

Emperor Shunde said indifferently: "This is just a free move. If it works, it's the best. If it doesn't work, it won't hinder the overall situation."

After saying this, Emperor Shunde thought for a while, then took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and handed it to the old eunuch beside him.

"You give this jade pendant to the grandson of the fifth emperor, and say that this is my promise to him."

The old eunuch took the jade pendant with both hands and understood what Emperor Shunde meant.

This is to use this jade pendant to reassure the fifth emperor's grandson, so that he can work for the emperor with peace of mind.

However, the stakes are too high. You must know that this jade pendant is not an ordinary thing, but a token given to Emperor Shunde by the previous emperor as the crown prince.

Now that Emperor Shunde sent this jade pendant out, it was a hint that if things were to happen in the future, the grandson of the fifth emperor would be the heir of the next emperor.

But then again, if the Five Emperors really have the ability to suppress Yang Heng, then he deserves his name as the next emperor.

……

Besides, Yang Heng in Kaifeng City has been so busy these days that he hardly has any time to rest.

Because, as all the officials sent by the imperial court were imprisoned by Yang Heng, in a province as big as Henan, everything fell on Yang Heng.

Fortunately, several of Yang Heng's apprentices were also from official families, and they studied poetry and books hard when they were young, so they could still help Yang Heng.

However, his disciples were also in charge of the affairs of the army and the government affairs of Henan, so they were too busy. In the end, Jin Chanwen recommended a few people, which gave Yang Heng a rest time.

Although it is said that Yang Heng can take a short break, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on blowing.

On this night, Shouming had just finished handling the official duties assigned to him by Yang Heng, and was finally able to go back to his yard to rest for a while.

As a result, he had just laid down on the bed when suddenly there was a knock on the window.

One must know that the current Shouming also has some mana, so what does it mean to make people lean against his window silently?It shows that it is easy for the other party to take his own life.

Therefore, after Shouming woke up, his first reaction was to roll off the bed, and then he took out the Dancing Soul Banner from his arms, and was ready to launch it at any time.

But if you listen carefully, the sound of knocking on the window is three long and two short, very regular.

Shouming was startled when he heard the rhythm, and then he understood something. He hurried forward, opened the window gently, and then a black shadow came in from the window.

After Shouming closed the window, he looked back at the shadow, only to see that although she was dressed in black night clothes, she had a graceful figure, protruding forward and backward, obviously a woman.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Shouming asked in a low voice.

The man in black knelt down on the ground, and said in a soft voice: "The servant is ordered by the emperor to deliver something to the fifth emperor's grandson."

After finishing speaking, the man in black took out a small yellow cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Shouming.

Shouming took the small bag, glanced at the man in black, and then gently opened it in front of his face, and then his face changed drastically.

It turned out that in the package was a piece of Huanglong jade pendant.

He was very familiar with this thing, it was a token from his great-grandfather to his grandfather as the crown prince.

The man in black at the bottom also saw Shouming's mentality, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor said that this is also a token for the fifth emperor's grandson. As long as the world is peaceful in the future, the fifth emperor's grandson will be the next emperor."

Shouming looked at the jade pendant in front of him, and bursts of light had been released from his eyes.

In the past, he was just an unfavorable grandson of the emperor, and he was a transparent figure in front of the emperor.

It can be said that from his birth to the present, the words he said to Emperor Shunde did not add up to a hundred sentences.

But now that Emperor Shunde has given himself such a big promise, I am afraid that what he asked himself to do is also extraordinary.

"What does the emperor want me to do?"

The man in black stood up slowly, walked to Shouming's side, and whispered in his ear: "Yang Heng turned his back on him, and he can't stay anymore. The emperor asked the five emperors to see the opportunity." , launch a mutiny, kill this traitor or expel him."

Shouming's heart trembled when he heard this.

As Yang Heng's eldest disciple, he followed Yang Heng to fight in the north and south during this period of time. He knew Yang Heng's abilities, so if he wanted to oppose Yang Heng as a young Taoist who had just started, wouldn't that be a dream come true?

So Shouming felt that the Huanglong jade pendant in his hand was like a soldering iron. He wanted to throw it away but was reluctant, and wanted to hold it but felt hot.

The woman obviously saw Shouming's hesitation, so she gently advised him again.

"Little prince, you are the big disciple of that traitor, so you should have some prestige. Why don't you apply to stay behind when the traitor goes out this time, and when the traitor leaves, you can clean up the mess. By then, the whole of Henan will be in trouble." You decide?"

Shouming bowed his head and thought for a while, this is indeed a solution, so that he would not have to confront Yang Heng head-on, and his purpose was only to take back Henan for the court.

What's more, since Yang Heng has no foundation, he should surrender to the imperial court again. At that time, the imperial court can slowly take back his military power. This can be regarded as the best of both worlds. Cheng Huang's grandfather's matter.

"Okay, just follow your method, I'll give it a try." Shouming nodded.

At this time, the man in black took off the black cloth from his face, revealing a beautiful face.

If the golden cicada pattern is a rich peony, then this man in black is a pretty peony.

Shouming was already a little stunned by the beautiful face in front of him, he stretched out his hand involuntarily, and touched the woman's face.

And this woman just smiled slightly, then leaned over again, lying on Shouming's shoulder.

One must know that Shouming is a hot-blooded young man, how could he bear the warmth of jade and fragrance, so he immediately hugged the woman and rolled on the bed.

But they didn't know that when they were talking together, a pair of eyes were fixed on Shouming's room, until the light in Shouming's room finally went out, and this shadow disappeared.

……

Besides, in Yang Heng's mansion now, that Jin Chanwen had just sent Yang Heng a bowl of ginseng soup, and when she walked out of the study, her maid Ying'er hurriedly came to her side, where Jin Chanwen He tattooed a few words into his ear.

Jin Chan Wen's eyes turned red after hearing this, and then he said in a bitter voice: "I knew this kid was not authentic, and I was as expected."
