Chapter 526 Troubled Times

Tian Yannian was speechless for a moment, and then said: "No matter what, I, Tian Yannian, will never betray the general!"

The man smiled and said, "Whether you betray the general or not, my master hopes that you can provoke a fight between Huo Guang and Zhang Yue!"

Tian Yannian shook his head and said: "Both Marquis Yunyang and the General are not easy people... You are not afraid of arousing Marquis Yunyang's suspicion."

The man chuckled: "Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about your own good!"

Tian Yannian said, "What you said did remind someone, what if someone kills you?"

The man said confidently: "Kill me if you can. Will Da Sinong be afraid that if a villain like me dies, the secret of your life experience will no longer be hidden?"

Tian Yannian gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly do you want?"

The man shook his head and said: "A servant is just a small person. He only obeys his master's orders in everything..."

Tian Yannian said: "It's okay for me to provoke a dispute between the general and Zhang Yue, but I also have a request."

The man chuckled and said, "Isn't that great? As long as you obey my orders, master, I can agree to anything!"

Tian Yannian said: "In that case, I want to see your master..."

The man chuckled and said, "I want to meet the owner of so-and-so!"

Tian Yannian said: "If I can't see your master, it's impossible that I will do anything for you!"

The man pointedly said: "This is not just for my master, but also for yourself!"

Tian Yannian was shocked when he heard this and stared at the man closely.

The man chuckled and said, "You know, both Huo Guang and Zhang Yue have begun to doubt you!"

Tian Yannian smiled slightly: "I thought this would make someone commit the crime!"

The man said: "I am just telling you a fact. Several spies sneaked into Sima's house a few days ago..."

Tian Yannian was shocked. Although he tried his best to hide it, the change in his eyes betrayed him.

Tian Yannian finally chose to compromise with the man.

"Don't worry, I will naturally provoke a fight between the general and Zhang Yue."

The man smiled and said, "Serve the master well!"

Then he quietly left Tian Yannian's mansion.

After Tian Yannian chased him out of the room, he was shocked to find that the guard outside the door was dead on the ground.

"Damn it!"

Tian Yannian cursed in his heart while thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.

"Come here, there's an assassin!"

Tian Yannian returned to the room, drew his sword and shouted.

Soon everyone in the mansion was alarmed. When everyone arrived, they saw that Tian Yannian's arm was slightly injured and the two guards were lying in a pool of blood.

"Protect Mr. Tian!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and while the family ministers ordered to protect Tian Yannian, they also sent people to search for the assassin.

…

The next day, news of Da Si's farmland Yannian's assassination spread throughout Chang'an.

From the general Huo Guang to the ordinary officials with two thousand stones, they all sent people to visit Tian Yannian to express their condolences.

Zhang Yue also sent Yang You and his eldest son Zhang Huan to visit him to express condolences.

Even the sick emperor sent Xiaohuangmen to express condolences after learning about the incident.

…

In Taixue, Liu Changle was discussing with Dr. Xian Liangwen.

Since the death of Tian Guangming, the doctors and virtuous people of Taixue have not held gatherings for a long time.

Everyone is gathered together today. What happened yesterday is really shocking.

Since the assassination of Yuan Ang by King Liang during the reign of Emperor Xiaojing, this was the first time in Chang'an that nine ministers of the imperial court were assassinated in Chang'an City.

"Do you think the assassination of Tian Yannian is true or false?"

Liu Changle first asked the doubts in his heart.

Liu Piqiang was shocked when he heard this: "Doctor Guanglu suspects that this matter is false!"

Liu Changle said bluntly: "Yes, this is a troubled time in Chang'an. I can't figure out which force would assassinate one of the nine ministers of the court at this time!"

Dr. Zhu Gong heard the words and said: "What Dr. Guanglu said is true... In this troubled autumn, it is not a wise man to do this."

Liu Piqiang frowned: "If this matter is false, why would Tian Yannian do this?"

Liu Changle sighed: "I thought that Tian Yannian might be framed..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Now is a sensitive time. If Tian Yannian really framed someone, the framed person might not be able to explain clearly.

At this time, Dr. Lu Gong said: "Who do you think Tian Yannian wants to frame?"

…

Yang You and Zhang Huan have returned to the Hou Mansion after visiting Tian Yannian.

"Yang You, have you found out who did it?"

Zhang Yue asked Yang You about Tian Yannian.

Yang You said: "Your Majesty, after a careful inspection today, Tian Yannian doesn't look like he was assassinated by someone. His injuries look more like he was stabbed by himself!"

Zhang Yue paused for a moment, then continued to ask: "Is there any new gain from Qianniu Guard?"

Yang Youdao: "The Sima clan in Hanoi recently sent people into Chang'an... one of them visited the area around Tian Yannian's mansion last night!"

Zhang Yue nodded: "Give it to someone who keeps an eye on the Sima family!"

Yang You said: "Don't worry, sir, the Sima family has arranged for people to monitor it, whether it is the direct lineage or the side servants!"

Zhang Yue nodded: "Don't be too careless. This Sima family has been hiding behind the scenes for hundreds of years and is not easy to deal with!"

Zhang Huan asked at this time: "Sir, shouldn't our main target now be on the general? Why waste precious manpower for a mere Sima clan?"

Zhang Yue sighed when he heard this and said, "Yang You, tell this boy about Sima's situation!"

"promise"

Yang You agreed and introduced the Sima family's situation to Zhang Huan in detail.

"Gentlemen, don't underestimate this Sima family. In the past few decades, the only person who is famous on the surface is Sima Qian..."

"In fact, the Sima family has basically controlled the entire Hanoi... Its strength is only stronger than that of the Wang family in Linzi back then!"

Zhang Huan said in disbelief: "This Sima clan is actually so powerful?"

Yang You said: "This is only what Qianniu Guard has investigated. There may be more that have not been investigated..."

Zhang Yue also said: "Boy, don't underestimate any opponent. The Sima family has great influence even in the court."

"The wife of Prime Minister Yang Chang is also the legitimate daughter of the Sima family!"

Zhang Huan nodded and said: "You know this, the wife of Prime Minister Yang Chang is the daughter of Sima Qian!"

"I heard that Yang Chang has always been henpecked, and the power in the palace has long been in the hands of Mrs. Sima. Even in matters in the court, Yang Chang actually takes orders from his wife!"

Zhang Yue said: "It seems that you are not useless. Since you know this, have you thought about it seriously?"

Zhang Huan felt ashamed and said, "Please teach me, sir!"

Zhang Yuedao: "Nowadays, everyone says that Yang Chang is a henpecked and cowardly person... But don't forget that when he was young, Yang Chang was also a heroic man who dared to go to Mobei alone to cut the heads of the Huns and return..."

"Not only that, Yang Chang also has the experience of leading troops in many battles... Although there is no brilliant victory, the record is not bad..."

"Why did such a person suddenly become cowardly after marrying the daughter of the Sima family..."
