The Eastern Palace guards only escorted Yang Guang's guard down the mountain. Yang Fangqing had already come out of the white jade tower... slowly sneered at the gate of the courtyard. More than a hundred guards were cleaning up their bodies. Liu Shu had committed suicide in purple robe, and the body was placed on the gate.

Next to the pillar.

In addition, there were twelve corpses next to the gate pillar, and all of them were dead. In fact, three of them should have lived in the end, but they were also dead at this time.

Yang Yuanqing looked at the last three people's eyes uneasily, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What are you sighing?" Yuwen Chengdu appeared behind him.

"nothing!"

Yang Yuanqing's eyes turned to Liu Shu again, concealing his heartache for the last three guards.

"I sigh that Liu Shuzhi was unaware of his lack of understanding. He was already a great minister, but he was willing to take such a great risk to launch a palace coup. Even if he succeeded, what could he get?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "He is not for power anymore. He hopes that the Sui Dynasty will go in another direction. Perhaps Yang Yong can realize his ideal of family and country."

Yuwen Chengdu smiled faintly again and said, "Courtary struggles have always been extremely cruel. If they weren't dead today, then we would die tomorrow. Don't feel any guilt."

Yang Yuanqing felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart. It was not because of who died and whoever died. He had experienced too many killings and had long been indifferent to death. Even if Yang Yong was killed by the whole family, he would not take it seriously.

Although Yang Yuanqing already knew that Yang Guang was not as stupid as in history and that he would be an accomplished emperor, Yang Yuanqing still accidentally discovered Yang Guang's vicious side.

Yang Guang killed the last three surviving Shi Guards because he didn't want others to know his embarrassing appearance when he was in trouble. Yang Guang was so scared that he shivered in the Baiyu Tower and shrank into a ball. His timid and fearful side was

The guards saw it.

Yang Yuanqing thought of Yang Guang asking him what reward he wanted. If Yang Guang really wanted to give him a reward, would he need to ask?

Yang Guang didn't want to give him any reward at all. Of course, this was not because Yang Guang was stingy, but because Yang Guang didn't want others to know that Yang Yuanqing had the merit of saving the Lord.

When Yang Guang asked himself that, he was actually giving himself a life-and-death issue.

It should be because his answer was correct, and Yang Guangcai did not kill him because at the last moment, he replied that he would not have any reward... he just wanted a future advice.

It was this answer that Yang Guang spared his life, so in the end there was a knowing smile on Yang Guang's face.

"Yuanqing' I will remember your kindness to save you...

This last sentence is the Lou Sutra that Yang Guang gave him.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing deeply felt the feeling of being with the king as if he was with a tiger.

Yang Yuanqing was very upset and felt an inexplicable disappointment with Yang Guang. He just wanted to leave this place of courtesy. Yang Yuanqing sighed and said to Yuwen Chengdu: "Please tell my grandfather...I'll go back to the capital first.

”

Yuwen Chengdu felt his mood depressed, so he patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder, "I will invite you to drink when I come back."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently and turned to walk down the mountain. Yuwen Chengdu stared at his back and felt that his back was so lonely and desolate. Yuwen Chengdu could understand Yang Yuanqing's loss very well and made such a great contribution to rescue him.

He almost died in the end, who would not be lost?

Emperor Yang Jian passed away, and the country could not be without a master. That night, Prince Yang Guang ascended the throne at Renshou Palace with the support of hundreds of important officials, officially started his imperial career.

Although he ascended the throne and became emperor, his position as Yang Guang was not stable. In order to prevent Yang Yong from burning his remaining party from burning, Yang Guang secretly told the court coup that occurred during the day, and only said that the palace guards had internal strife due to trivial matters, and the son-in-law Liu Shu unfortunately suffered internal strife.

Killed in the middle.

In this way, except for a few confidant ministers such as Yang Su and Yuwen Shu, the other ministers did not know that there had been a shocking coup in Renshou Palace.

Although Yang Guang did not want to expand the coup, he secretly ordered Yuwen Shu to poison the former crown prince Yang Yong overnight, and sent his confidant Shi Wei to Beijing to kill all the sons of Dian Yong and eliminate the roots.

Yang Guang ordered the blockade of the news that the emperor had collapsed and he had ascended the throne. At the same time, in the name of Yang Jian, he issued an edict to appoint Yang Su's younger brother Yang Yue as the capital, and go to the capital to control the troops in the capital and control the situation in the capital.

Time gradually came to the third day. The exhausted Yang Su, accompanied by several guards, returned to his own museum at the foot of the mountain. When he walked to the door, Yang Su saw his eldest son Xuangan standing at the door waiting.

"Xuangan, why haven't you gone to rest?"

Yang Xuangan also participated in Yang Guang's ascension to the throne in the evening. He had learned about the coup from his father.

Yang Xuangan had already gone down the mountain for a while. When his father came back, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, "I have something to do in my heart and can't sleep."

Yang Su nodded, "Go into the house and say!"

The father and son entered the room, Yang Su sat on the soft couch, and Yang Xuangan poured another cup of tea for his father and gave him both hands.

"Sit down!" Yang Su pointed to her side.

After the 19th year of Kaihuang, Yang Xuangan was named General for his father's contribution, and his younger brothers were also named Shangyitong. Yang Xuangan was also considered an important minister of the court. He frowned and whispered: "I saw my father just now.

Why is the argument with Yuwen Shu?"

"Nothing big."

Yang Su smiled faintly and said, "It is about the disposal of the participants in this coup. Yuwen Shu hopes to thoroughly investigate and eliminate it without missing a single one. I am worried that there will be too much impact and suggest that the emperor let it go."

"Father, do you think the Lord will leave it alone?"

Yang Su shook her head... "The emperor is very scheming. He will not let these people go, but he will use other excuses to attack. Anyone who supports the former crown prince Yang Yong will not be able to escape sooner or later."

After pausing, Yang Su said again: "Do you know what Yuan Qing is protecting the emperor today?"

"So it's Yuan Qing!"

Yang Xuangan was extremely surprised. He hurriedly said, "I heard that the emperor was rescued by a young officer. I didn't expect that it would be Yuan Qing. When did he come?"

Yang Su glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, "The relationship between you father and son is very weak. Don't you look for your own reasons?"

Yang Xuangan felt embarrassed on his face, and he sighed and said, "It was because I was too cold to him before. I ignored him since I was a child and did not fulfill my father's position."

"You are prejudice against him and think that he is the concubine's son. Today, the emperor also told me that Yuan Qing is a natural and arrogant phoenix, and he is the first among my generation. Do you understand how much the emperor values ​​him?"

Yang Xuangan also felt a little regretful in his heart. He said ashamed: "I want to save it, but I don't know if there is still a chance?"

Yang Su patted his son on the shoulder and smiled: "After all, you are father and son, and no one can replace blood and family affection. As long as you treat him with your heart, he will naturally recognize you as your father. In addition, the emperor strictly prohibits the spread of Yuan Qing's protection.

, Just I know... "

Yang Xuangan nodded silently. He decided to take some time and take Yuan Qing to the Hongnong clan ancestor to take a look.

Yang Yuanqingyan did not attend Yang Guang's ascension ceremony. He was not qualified to be a military officer who was now a general. He left Renshou Palace that afternoon and returned to the capital.

At noon, Yang Yuanqing arrived in Xianyang. Although he no longer wanted to save Yang Guang, he was still unable to be happy and was depressed all the way.

Xianyang is a large county in Jingzhao Prefecture, not far from the capital. Although it is not as magnificent and prosperous as the capital, it is also quite lively. It is lunch time that the city has many customers and business is booming.

Yang Yuanqing walked to a restaurant called "Sanxian Restaurant", and a guy warmly greeted him.

"The Junye Shop has mutton and venison now slaughtered, crucian carp a foot long, and excellent Nai wine."

Yang Yuanqing frowned, "Are there any other wine?"

"There are Lang Guanqing from the capital and Pu Tao wine from the Western Regions."

Pujiao wine was later wine. At this time, it had not been introduced to the mainland on a large scale. It was only brought by some Western merchants. It was expensive. Yang Yuanqing had only drunk sugarcane wine and dragon paste wine, and had never drunk Pujiao wine.

He nodded, "Find me a seat by the window."

"Okay! Please, Jun Ye, please, there is a window on the second floor!"

Yang Yuanqing carried his long spear and horse bag, handed the horse to his servant, and gave him another handful of money to his servant, whom he thanked him for his horse.

Yang Yuanqing walked up to the second floor by himself, and there were more than 20 beds on the second floor, full of guests. The crowds were crowded with people and it was quite lively. Most of them were wearing long robes, wearing gauze hats or squids, and taking off their shoes and sitting on their plates.

On the couch, there were also women wearing curtains and several musicians, sitting by the wall holding musical instruments, waiting for the call.

There are two separate elegant rooms next to them. Five or six big men stood at the door of one, majestic, and it seemed like a wealthy family was having a meal. Another guy led him to a small bed beside the window.

There is a table on the couch. The couch is not wide and can only accommodate three or four people. Behind it is an elegant room, and there is a vague sound of talking inside.

"June, there is no one here, just sit here!"

Yang Yuanqing dribbled, sat down against the window, put his horse spear aside, and said to the clerk: "Give me a pot of puerry wine, three Hu cakes, three pounds of mutton sauce, that's all."

"Please wait for a moment, come soon."

After a moment, a shi girl brought a wine pot. Pu Tao wine was very expensive, and this pot of wine costs ten yuan. After a bloody battle, Yang Yuanqing needed to reward himself with good wine. He poured a glass of wine again, but he couldn't help but

Thinking of the fierce battle that happened yesterday, like a dream, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and drank the wine.

"Is this a horse lance?" A clear boy voice sounded next to him.

Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw a boy standing next to him, who was only six or seven years old, with a strong figure and handsome appearance. He was wearing a white satin brocade robe, a small golden crown on his head and black leather boots on his feet. He looked like an official family.

Children, he pointed at Yang Yuanqing's horse spear, his eyes very curious.

Yang Yuanqing's horse spear was covered with a leather bag and only had a spear rod. Most people couldn't see it, but this little boy had some eyesight.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "How do you see that this is a horse spear?"

"I, Lu Fu, have one, but it's thinner than yours, and it's a little shorter."

As the little boy said, he reached out to get the horse spear. Yang Yuanqing didn't stop him. He could see that the little boy had begun to build a foundation, but no matter what, he could not handle his horse spear.

"Erlang!"

A stern scolding suddenly came from behind, "Dad told you that you should not touch other people's things!"

When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw that he was a guest in the elegant room next door. He was a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eight years old, wearing a regular official uniform, wearing a gauze hat, and three black beards under his jaw.

The little boy was obviously afraid of his father, so scared that he didn't dare to move Yang Yuanqing's long spear again. The man walked up to Yang Yuanqing and bowed and apologized: "You are rude, please forgive me!"

"It's okay!"
