Chapter 27 bi emerges from the water
A hunting event that was originally held to harmonize the relationship between aristocratic families ended unhappy because of Yang Yuanqing's ruthless arrow. Everyone hurried back home, and their interest in hunting was gone.~~!-
In Li Yuan's study, Li Yuan sighed and said to Chang Sun Sheng: "It is rumored that Yang Yuanqing is ruthless. I still don't believe it. I wonder how ruthless a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old can be. Now it seems that the rumors are not true.
It’s all out of nowhere.”
Changsun Sheng was a little disapproving. He stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Li Shijun has lived in the prosperous times of the Central Plains for a long time. Maybe it is a bit hard to understand how cruel he was to Yuan Qing, but I know that he is a frontier general. If he is not cruel, he will not be cruel at all.
You can't scare the Turks, and it's useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness to the Turks. They only recognize fists. If you have a strong fist, they will obey you."
"Even so, he offended Yu Shiji because of it, which is unwise!" Li Yuan still shook his head.
Li Jiancheng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but said: "Father, I think Yang Yuanqing just took advantage of the opportunity. On the surface, it seems to be jealous, but in fact he has other motives."
Li Yuan knew that his eldest son would not express his opinions lightly, so what he said surprised Li Yuan a little. Li Yuan smiled and said, "Tell me your reasons."
"Father, Yu Shiji monopolized official power, accepted bribes, exchanged favors, promoted those who obeyed him, and exempted those who disobeyed him. This has been complained all over the court. His son is even more lawless and notorious in the capital. I estimate that Yang Yuanqing's arrow will
It will win the applause of the whole court, and few people sympathize with Yu Shiji. Although this arrow offends Yu Shiji, it can win the favor of most courtiers, and he will not suffer any loss."
Changsun Sheng agreed with Li Jiancheng's analysis, "The people Yu Shiji relies on are nothing but the favor of the Holy Emperor, but Yang Yuanqing is also valued by the Holy Emperor. He will not punish the frontier ministers for such a trivial matter. I guess this arrow will be ignored in the end.
, Yu Shiji suffered the loss of being dumb, and Yang Yuanqing gained favor."
"Maybe so!"
Li Yuan didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the subject and asked: "Brother Ji Sheng, do you want to accompany the Holy Spirit on his southern tour this time?"
Changsun Sheng shook his head, "I was ordered to stay in the capital and not go south."
Changsun Sheng felt that Li Yuan seemed to have something to say and didn't want to say more, so he said a few more words and stood up to leave.
Li Yuan sent Changsun Sheng away and returned to the study. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was still there, he smiled and said, "You have been tired from hunting for a day, why don't you go and rest?"
"The child felt that his father seemed to have something to say, so he stayed. First post"
Li Yuan nodded, "Sit down!"
"yes!"
Li Jiancheng sat down, and Li Yuan sighed slightly, "Actually, I know that Yang Yuanqing and Xia Houyan were not that simple. As you said, he took advantage of the opportunity, just in front of Changsun Sheng. I don't want to talk about it in depth.
"
Li Jiancheng was stunned, "Father, Uncle Sun, the company commander, doesn't believe it either?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "This is not a question of whether you believe it or not, but there is a lot of weirdness behind this matter. It may involve a struggle for the throne. It is best not to have in-depth discussions with anyone."
"Father, I don't quite understand."
"Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but I slowly figured it out later."
Li Yuan sighed and said: "When I saw Yang Yuanqing yesterday, I saw him coming out of Yingtianmen, but he did not attend the court meeting. I thought he was going to the Ministry of Internal History to do business. Later I figured out that he was actually going
See the Holy One."
Seeing that his son was listening with rapt attention, Li Yuan continued: "Later, at almost noon, I heard that something big happened in Fengdu City the night before yesterday. More than a hundred of King Qi's soldiers died in a teahouse, and it was rumored that that
This teahouse is Yang Yuanqing’s property.”
"What does father mean to say that the dead men of King Qi were killed by Yang Yuanqing?"
Li Yuan nodded slowly, "Yang Yuanqing went to see the Holy One early yesterday morning, probably to report the matter. Seeing that the prince is getting fatter and fatter, and his illness is serious. If the prince goes west, then the dispute in the East Palace will break out. Although the Holy One only
The King of Qi has only one son left, but he also has grandsons. Should he establish a prince or a grandson? This is a big question that will be faced soon. At this critical moment, Yang Yuanqing killed more than a hundred of the dead soldiers of the King of Qi. I have doubts.
, he is actually fighting for the crown prince’s position as the grandson.”
Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and suddenly asked in surprise: "Is Yu Shiji related to King Qi?"
Li Yuan sneered, "You are absolutely right, Yu Shiji is the military advisor behind King Qi. With one arrow from Yang Yuanqing, Yu Shiji was knocked out of the water."
Li Yuan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Yang Yuanqing is very thoughtful and vicious at a young age. I don't like such a person. I will have as little contact with him as possible in the future to avoid being harmed by him."
After Xia Houyan was seriously injured, Yang Yuanqing sent Pei Minqiu back to Pei Mansion as if nothing was wrong, and then returned to his residence. In fact, as a normal warning, Yang Yuanqing shot Xia Houyan's horse to death, and made him promise not to pester Pei Minqiu again.
That's all right, there's no need to hurt him.
As Yang Yuanqing, who had been the general manager for two years, he indeed no longer had such impulse. After all, Pei Minqiu was not Niuniu. After all, Xia Houyan had not done anything excessive. There was no need for him to hurt him like this and inexplicably become enemies with Yu Shiji.
Just as Li Yuan inferred, Yang Yuanqing did this because he was still the king of Qi.
After Yuwen Eying's birthday party last night, Yang Zhao told him that Yu Shiji was a very powerful person and a military advisor to the King of Qi. If he wanted to compete with the King of Qi for the throne of the emperor's grandson, he must first get rid of Yu Shiji.
However, Yu Shiji was very cautious and cautious, and it was difficult for others to catch him. His only weakness was his step-sibling, Mrs. Sun, whom he doted on too much.
Xia Houyan was born to Sun and her ex-husband. Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Xia Houyan. He wanted to know how Yu Shiji or Sun would deal with him?
In the evening, the main door of Yu Mansion was opened. A group of servants carried a stretcher and urgently carried the injured Xia Houyan into the mansion. Sun rushed out of the mansion, "My son! What's wrong with you?"
Xia Houyan had lost a lot of blood, his face was pale, and his body was very weak. He could not speak a word, but a follower explained: "Today, the young master had a conflict with Yang Yuanqing. The young master was shot by Yang Yuanqing with an arrow. He said it himself
It was an accidental injury. In fact, he deliberately injured the young master."
Mrs. Sun slowly opened the quilt and saw that a spiked arrow had penetrated her son's thigh. The blood on the arrow had solidified. She cried out in distress, "Go to a famous doctor quickly!"
The family had already gone to find a famous doctor. After a while, an old imperial doctor hurriedly walked into the Yu Mansion carrying a box of medicine. The Yumen family quickly invited him into the inner palace to treat the young master's injury, but Mrs. Sun wanted to ask for the details of his son's injury.
, the news about the family members was very scattered, one sentence here and there, one sentence here and there, and finally the clues were gradually sorted out, it turned out that the son and Yang Yuanqing were jealous of a daughter of the Pei family.
What made Sun feel resentful and angry, and what made her even more unacceptable was that this Yang Yuanqing was actually a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and it was not so easy to take revenge. In desperation, Sun sent someone to Luokou warehouse overnight to inform the master, asking him to rush immediately.
Return to the capital.
The imperial doctor who treated Xia Houyan's injuries was named Wang. He was an old imperial physician in the palace and was very good at treating various injuries. He had already taken out Xia Houyan's arrow and bandaged it for him before walking out of the room.
"Physician Wang, how is my son?" Mrs. Sun came up and asked.
Doctor Wang sighed and said: "The situation is not very good. This arrow broke the tendons in his leg. I can't guarantee whether he can stand up after the injury recovers."
"ah!"
Mrs. Sun exclaimed, "Are you saying that my son will never be able to stand up again?"
Dr. Wang shook his head, "We don't know yet. If the wound recovers well, he may be able to walk with crutches. If the wound recovers poorly, his tui will definitely not be saved. Madam, I must tell the truth."
When Mrs. Sun heard that her son could walk with a stick at best, she almost fainted. She suppressed her grief and walked into her son's room. On the bed, Xia Houyan had already woken up. He said to his mother in a weak voice:
"Mom, I regret that I didn't learn martial arts well enough that I couldn't beat others. I guess my right leg is useless."
Mrs. Sun couldn't help crying, "Son! Why do you want to provoke that devil? Why do you have to fight with him for a wife?"
"Mother, the child did not compete with him for a wife. Min Qiu has nothing to do with him. She neither promised him nor got engaged to him. The child expressed his love because he really wanted to marry her. Min Qiu didn't
He was interested in me, but he was so self-righteous that he regarded Minqiu as his wife. He was cruel to me. Not only did he kill my horse, but I even said that I would give up. He still refused to let me go. He shot me with an arrow.
He hurt me, mother, he really went too far."
Her son's story made Mrs. Sun gnash her teeth with hatred. He must avenge this revenge. She would never tolerate her son being bullied like this.
An hour later, a broker was led into Sun's guest room. He bowed and saluted, "I'm Youshun. I'd like to see my wife and I'd like to serve you."
Sun took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "I heard that you can introduce some people with strong martial arts skills. I want to kill someone and need to hire some people with strong martial arts skills. Please give me a price!"
Broker You Shun was overjoyed and said quickly: "Madam, please rest assured. The people I introduced are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very reliable. But whoever Madam wants to kill, they will definitely be able to handle it for you."
"Hmm! I wonder how much they cost?"
"Madam, there is a difference here. If you are an ordinary person, up to two thousand coins is enough, but if you are an official of the imperial court, you must pay at least ten thousand coins, and the price will be determined based on the person. I wonder who Madam wants to kill?
"
Sun said word by word: "The name of the person I want to kill is Yang Yuanqing."
"It's him!" Broker You Shun exclaimed and said quickly: "Madam, this man has a very important position, so you may not be able to kill him at will."
"I don't care, just ask for the price."
"this"
Broker You Shun finally quoted the price, "Madam, if this person asks for 30,000 yuan, it will be very risky for us."
Mrs. Sun sneered, "Well, let's make an agreement, thirty thousand condoms, I will pay one thousand condoms first as your expenses. After the thing is done, you will receive the reward based on his head, and I will give the remaining money in one lump sum
