The courtyard where Huangfu Xu lives is not far from Yang Ming’s study, only a dozen feet apart. Huangfu Xu was also born in a noble family, but his family was in ruins, and he became a poor and poor scholar with no hands.
The ability to tie a chicken is to make a living by selling the word, and it is difficult to support his wife and daughter. However, he is appreciated by the King of Qi, which makes him step by step toward wealth. Although he also found that the King of Qi was foolish and could not help him, he still tried his best out of a grateful heart
Assisting the King of Qi.
At this time, Huangfu Xu was sitting at the desk and writing a letter to the county, arranging some things. He originally planned to go to Beijing for one or two days, but Yang Qing encountered Yang Yuanqing's strong challenge, which endangered the future. Huangfu Xu had to extend it.
Time in the capital.
His desk was in front of the window, and a breeze blew, causing the paper on the table to scatter. He went to pick up the paperweight casually, but he felt it empty. Huangfu Xu was stunned, and then he realized that the ebony Qilin paperweight on his table was gone.
, This piece of ebony Qilin paperweight was left to him by his father, and it was his beloved thing. I have been with him for more than ten years and have been carrying it with me. I saw him yesterday afternoon and put it on the table. Why is it gone now?
Huangfu Xu bent down on the ground and searched, then turned back into his bookcase for a while, but still couldn't see it. Huangfu Xu was confused. If he met a thief, he was worth more than ebony paperweight. How did he go about it?
thing?
At this moment, the two guards walked to his door and bowed and said, "Envoy Huangfu, Your Highness asked you to come here immediately."
The two guards did not use the word "please", which made him slightly unhappy, but he didn't say anything, so he quickly stood up and walked towards the Qi King's study.
As soon as he walked to the door of the study, he saw a large group of guards surrounding the King of Qi. Everyone looked at him coldly, which made him stunned. I wonder what had happened?
Yang Hing waved his hand and said, "Take it!"
Several soldiers rushed up and pressed Huangfu Xu to the ground. Huangfu Xu was angry and annoyed, shouting: "Your Highness, what's my fault? Why did you arrest me?"
"You know in your heart that you ungrateful bastard!"
Yang Xu cursed, rushed forward and kicked Huangfu Xu's nose, and suddenly the bone on the bridge of his nose was kicked. Huangfu Xu screamed and blood gushed out. He held back the pain and shouted: "Your Highness."
It’s okay to kill me, but let me understand what crime I have committed?”
"You dare to pretend to be stupid and use your anger to harm me, you can admit it!"
Yang Ming was furious and kicked him in the face. At this time, he had vented all his hatred for Yang Yuanqing on Huangfu Xu. He believed that Huangfu Xu had been bribed and used evil to harm him, so his father did not.
Trust him, all this is caused by the ebony.
"Your Highness, I came just yesterday, how can I be angry with You?" Huangfu Xu urgently defended himself.
"As soon as Yang Yuanqing entered Beijing, you also appeared. Is this a coincidence? It is clear that you had planned to meet up first and then enter Beijing at the same time, which will cause my generals to be killed!"
Yang Ming believed Pan Dan as a god, and believed in his words. Foreign enemies should not be afraid of internal troubles. He had already determined that Huangfu Xu was harming him. No matter how Huangfu Xu explained, he would not believe it.
"Drag it down and beat it with a hundred sticks, and drive it out of the mansion!"
If Huangfu Xu hadn't been the magistrate of Yique County, he would have beaten Huangfu Xu to death with sticks.
Several guards dragged Huangfu Xu down, and Huangfu Xu shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, you can't do this. You are destroying the Great Wall yourself. Someone is framed by me!"
The voice gradually faded away, and Yang Ming's hatred had not subsided and cursed: "If you dare to harm me again, you will definitely be killed!"
In fact, the guards around him feel something is wrong. Even if they want to harm others, they can't use their own belongings to win, so that others can tell at a glance that this is not self-invested?
But no one dared to persuade Yang Hung. He came back from the Taoist temple in the backyard and dug it out. It was probably the idea of Pan Shangxian. The King of Qi was like a god and obeyed his words. Who dared to say more? He could only secretly serve him.
Huangfu Xu made a remark.
.........
The side door of King Qi opened, and two guards carried a stretcher out. The stretcher was Huangfu Xu, who was beaten to death, was already dying. The two guards put the stretcher outside the door of the Forget Mansion and ignored it, and a bang,
Close the door.
At this time, soldiers of the right guard of the East Palace patrolling outside the mansion surrounded him. No one knew what had happened. Someone immediately reported to Han Shie.
Han Shie walked over quickly. He squatted down and looked for a while. Finally, he recognized Huangfu Xu in a coma. He had seen him at the gate of Taipei City last night.
He quickly ordered the soldiers: "Send this person to the general of the commander!"
Several soldiers found a carriage and carried the stretcher onto the carriage. The carriage drove towards the private camp outside the city. Yang Shisu should be there.
......
It was not until the afternoon that Huangfu Xu finally woke up from his coma. The pain disappeared and a burst of coolness came. He slowly looked around and he lay in an elegant hut. Outside the courtyard, the trees were green and the fragrance of flowers was wafting.
.
At this time, a young soldier walked in and saw Huangfu Xu awakening, and said excitedly: "Sir, I'll go tell the young master!"
"This guy!"
Huangfu Xu called him hard, and his nose felt ache, and then he realized that his nose had been wrapped in gauze. The scenes in the morning jumped into his mind, and Yang Qing kicked the bone of his nose with one kick.
Huangfu Xu sighed inwardly and asked with difficulty: "Where am I now?"
The young soldier is Yang Jiulang, one of Yang Yuanqing's iron guards. He has a baby face and is actually twenty-five years old. He is the youngest of the nine iron guards.
Yang Jiulang smiled and said, "This is Shangshanfang, a yard rented by my son. The famous doctor has already visited him. Mr. Huangfu was just a skin injury and did not break his muscles and bones, but the bridge of his nose is broken, and it will take some time to heal.
”
Huangfu Xu knew that this was the mercy of the King of Qi's guards, otherwise he would have beaten him to death by a hundred sticks, but the King of Qi was cruel and actually kicked the bones of his nose. These princes turned their faces and never remembered their old love. He sighed
He asked again: "Who is your young master?"
"Did the magistrate of Huangfu County feel better?"
A hearty laughter came from outside, and then Yang Yuanqing quickly walked into the room. Huangfu Xu was stunned, "It's you!"
"Who will Huangfu County Magistrate thought it would be? Who else in the capital dares to save you?"
Yang Yuanqing sat down in front of Huangfu Xu with a smile, and said, "I will make it clear first. The injury of Huangfu County Magistrate has nothing to do with me, and I have no idea about this."
"I know this has nothing to do with you. It's because King Qi is stupid. He believed the words of the demonic way and I was harmed by a villain."
Huangfu Xu knew that except for Pan Yaodao hated him to the core, he did not offend others. Only Pan Yaodao could convince King Qi to distrust him.
This result was indeed beyond Yang Yuanqing's expectations. He thought that Pan Yaodao was favored and would definitely convince the King of Qi to avenge him, but he did not expect that the first person this person was Huangfu Xu. Yang Yuanqing was still thinking about how to deal with Qi.
Wang, the military advisor of Jingming, did not expect that King Qi would destroy the Great Wall by himself. It was really God's will, and God would destroy him.
"Don't the magistrate of Huangfu County think that this is God's will? God can do evil, but he can't live without his own evil!"
After a while, Huangfu Xu sighed, "If he listened to the evil words, he would be doomed and would not have any chance."
Huangfu Xu felt sad and bowed to Yang Yuanqing with difficulty: "Thank you, General Yang, for not taking care of his past grudges and saving my life. Huangfu Xu remembers his heart and begs General Yang to hire another ox cart for me and take me back to Yique County."
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while. He actually fell in love with Huangfu Xu. Last night, Huangfu Xu's jingle left a deep impression on him. He lacked such a counselor around him. Although he was not stupid himself, the wise man was worried and still
There was a mistake, not to mention that his experience was not rich enough, and some things might not be done properly. He needed a counselor to remind himself and give him advice.
"Can the magistrate of Huangfu County know that the King of Qi raised five thousand armored soldiers?"
Huangfu Xu was shocked. He knew that the King of Qi raised some dead soldiers. The King of Qi told him that there were only four or five hundred people, so he didn't take it seriously. It was normal for a prince to raise some strange people, but he didn't expect it to be.
Five thousand armored soldiers are another matter.
"General Yang...because this is true?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I killed Yuan Shang Yingshi and discovered this. Later, I went to Jinyang Palace to confirm that Yang Xiao did take out thousands of sets of armor from Jinyang Palace. Now I have obtained the exact information, Yang Xiaoyang
There were five thousand soldiers distributed in five places, one of which was hidden in your Yique County. I thought you knew it.”
Huangfu Xu was frightened, he had never heard of this matter, "No, he never told me about this, General Yang, are you saying that there is a soldier wearing armor in Yique County?"
"Is there any manor in Yique County?"
"Yes! There are three manors, are they hidden in Longmen Manor?"
Huangfu Xu remembered that there was a large manor of the King of Qi near the Longmen Grottoes, which occupied 10,000 acres of land, surrounded by walls, and valleys and rivers. This was the ideal place for hiding soldiers. If the King of Qi really had armored soldiers in Yique County, then
It must be there.
At this time, sweat beads appeared on Huangfu Xu's forehead. He finally realized that the King of Qi was playing with fire. In addition to his ambition to raise armored soldiers, he really couldn't think of any reason, but the emperor was very strict in defense.
It is a dream to think of a mutiny and usurp the throne. Once the priest knows, the King of Qi will be over. Now Yang Yuanqing has mastered it. How long can the King of Qi last? Once the King of Qi falls, what fate will be?
Huangfu Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the private army was kept in his Yique County, and he would undoubtedly die.
Yang Yuanqing said lightly again: "I don't hide it from Huangfu County Magistrate. This time, my capital is to stabilize the situation in the capital, but the emperor's real intention is to let me seize 20,000 troops from the Eastern Palace. He was afraid that the King of Qi would take risks. The emperor's intention was already very
Obviously, he had given up on the King of Qi. Since the King of Qi raised dead soldiers two years ago, the emperor had doubts about him, so he was reluctant to let him enter the Eastern Palace. Now he was unable to deal with the rebellion in the capital city, and the emperor was disappointed with him.
More importantly, the emperor can hold the throne for at least twenty years. If King Qi is the crown prince, can he wait for twenty years? The emperor knows this very well."
When Yang Yuanqing saw that Huangfu Xu was already sweating profusely, he knew that with Huangfu Xu's wisdom, he didn't need to say anything more. As long as he digs a canal by himself, it would be a natural result.
"If Mr. Huangfu is willing, I can create the illusion that Mr. Huangfu is beaten to death by the King of Qi. Mr. can hide his identity and follow me and be my aide. If Mr. Huangfu is unwilling, I will not force him. In short, I will do my best to help.
Sir’s busyness.”
Huangfu Xu lowered his head and said nothing. Yang Yuanqing's ruthlessness and decisiveness formed a sharp contrast with Yang Yang's stupid and arrogant self-confidence. If he followed Yang Yuanqing, he would have nowhere to go. Could it be that he would sell his words to make a living?
Yang Yuanqing ignored past grudges and saved his life and used himself more seriously, which shows that he recognized and cherished talents. This is the wise master that Huangfu Xu wanted to vote for.
After pondering for a long time, he sighed, "After all, King Qi has kindness to me. Although he is ruthless, I don't want to be unrighteous to him. Maybe the general agrees?"
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "You don't need to take action against stupid people like King Qi."
Huangfu Xu resolutely made up his mind and bowed: "General saves my life, how can I not repay my kindness? Huangfu Xu is willing to serve the general!"
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, "I'll send someone to bring your family here!"
