Chapter 261 Hot Yang Guozhong

Li Fei actually reported another report and found out the reason for the Bohai Kingdom's launch of troops this time?

Of course he was interested in this Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, so he immediately asked the eunuch to submit it to him.

Halfway through seeing, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was already full of anger. The civil and military officials below were all those who were observing their words and expressions. Seeing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang became so angry, they all felt a little shocked, and two of them even had cold sweats.

After reading it, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suddenly closed the memorial.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that the reason was so deep, and I retreated to the court!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not tell the reason at that time, but retreated angrily. Then, he asked the eunuch to instruct Yang Guozhong to stay.

When Yang Guozhong heard the eunuch's message, he breathed a sigh of relief. He roughly guessed what Li Fei wrote in the newspaper. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang went to court, he left him additionally, obviously intending to discuss with him privately, indicating that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang still absolutely trusted him.

Yang Guozhong arrived at the imperial study room, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was already waiting for him inside.

"Sir, please take a look, too." Gao Lishi took Li Fei's memorial to Yang Guozhong and asked Yang Guozhong to take a look first.

Yang Guozhong opened it and read it quickly, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom once came to Chang'an City, why didn't you tell me?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang frowned and questioned Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong had another cold sweat on his forehead. Li Fei's book not only wrote about the Bohai Kingdom, which had just rushed back from Chang'an City when the Bohai Kingdom was envoy who had arrived in Chang'an City. It even mentioned what the Bohai Kingdom envoy encountered in Chang'an City. In addition, when the Bohai Kingdom crown prince came to Chang'an City as a proton, he would bring the envoy together to verify the whole story with the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I, I don't know either." Yang Guozhong looked innocent, as if he really didn't know at all.

"I am busy with Your Majesty every day and also manage all officials. There are many things to do. I am temporarily inadvertent, but it has caused such a disaster. I am guilty!" Yang Guozhong said, and bowed directly to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly, thinking that he had indeed handed over almost all the government affairs to Yang Guozhong for handling. In addition, Yang Guozhong was also the prime minister and wanted to supervise all officials. He really didn't care about some trivial matters.

"I don't blame you. It was just two officials of the Ministry of Rites who were entertaining envoys from various countries who spoke in a mess, and their nonsense caused the Bohai Kingdom to misunderstand the soldiers raising troops to the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Fei analyzed in the memorial that it might be the conspiracy set up by whom it was and what purpose it was to achieve. Humph! Tempting other countries to raise troops to the Tang Dynasty, causing the people on the Tang Dynasty's border to suffer. If it was really designed by someone, it would be so vicious, and the crime would be cut into pieces!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said angrily.

"After you go back, you send someone to arrest the two Ministry of Revenue officials. I want to interrogate them in person. I want to see if someone is really instructing them behind their backs!"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang once again made Yang Guozhong’s forehead sweat a few more times. His Majesty actually wanted to interrogate himself. If those two things couldn’t stand the confession to His Majesty——How can you not be afraid of Yang Guozhong? Because the instructor behind the scenes was Yang Guozhong. If you find out, he will be finished.

Yang Guozhong was panicked and secretly hated him. Li Fei did not give him such a fatal counterattack, but as long as His Majesty still believes him now, Li Fei would not want to bring him down with this!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong retreated.

After leaving the palace and returning to his prime minister's mansion, the two officials from the Ministry of Rites were already waiting for him.

Yang Guozhong was shocked. At this time, these two people appeared in his mansion. If they were seen and passed on to His Majesty, he would not be able to tell the truth even if he had a mouth.

"You two are here, can you be seen by others?" Yang Guozhong asked angrily, gritting his teeth.

Two officials from the Ministry of Rites looked at each other and said, "Master Prime Minister, has something happened? You must save us. We are all doing things for you."

The two officials from the Ministry of Rites did not answer Yang Guozhong's questions, but instead cried and bowed to Yang Guozhong for help in front of Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong's eyes twitched, and he wanted to strangle the two officials to death immediately! But he could not turn against these two officials now, let alone let them die in his prime minister's mansion.

"Of course I will save you. Before leaving the palace, Your Majesty ordered me to arrest you for interrogation, but of course I would not do that. You can't do this official position in the court. Take the family and the young, and I will show you a way out. Although you can't continue to be an official in the court, there is no problem to be a rich man. If your descendants want to be an official in the future, I will take care of you. There is only so much that I can do." Yang Guozhong did not tell them that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang planned to interrogate them personally because he was afraid that the two of them would threaten him in turn.

The two officials were so scared that their faces turned pale and their hearts were even more dismayed, which meant that their future was completely over.

When the two officials were comforted, Yang Guozhong's face immediately became ferocious.

"If you don't die, you may threaten your true nature, so don't blame your true nature!" Yang Guozhong whispered viciously.

Without ordering arrest, the two officials took the family to carriage and left Chang'an City without any obstacles and fled straight to Jiannan Road.

Jiannan Road is Yang Guozhong's territory. In order to appease the two officials, Yang Guozhong made a lot of promises to them, asking them to go to Jiannan Road to Yang Guozhong to take better care of them.

When the two officials ran to a wilderness more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, nearly a hundred masked men came out.

"Swish! Swish!" These masked men even brought dozens of bows and arrows, and shot many of the two officials' homes to death in one encounter.

Bang!

A carriage hit the tree inside, and an old woman in the carriage was thrown out together with a maid. She was the old mother of one of the officials. I don’t know if this old woman can survive this time. But even if she survived, the killer would not let her go.

Sure enough, the old woman was helped up by a maid and was killed by a knife when she was close to her. The old woman screamed and died.

"Yang Guozhong's villain hurt me!" The two officials exclaimed in grief and anger. At this time, as long as they were not too stupid, they could guess who was going to kill them. Except for Yang Guozhong, it was impossible for anyone else to be there.

However, although the two officials hated each other, there were nearly a hundred killers, and they were carefully arranged, so they had no chance to escape.

In the end, the two officials and their family all died tragically in the wild.

About half an hour later, a group of soldiers chasing from Chang'an City arrived. The leader looked at the corpses all over the ground coldly and ordered the soldiers under his command to take the corpses back to Chang'an City.
