Chapter 3 The Racecourse Turmoil Conquered Shan Xiongxin
With Yuwen Chengdu's farewell, Yang Zhao made up his mind to accept Yuwen Chengdu, then got up and left the East Palace and went to the racecourse. The guards told the prince that since the new palace in Luoyang was to be rebuilt, the horse farm could only be outside the eastern suburbs of Luoyang.
On the road, Yang Zhao saw a group of guards surrounding a big man with a thick beard and big ears, fearless eyes, holding a spear, looking directly at these guards with extraordinary momentum, it seemed that it was not the big man who was surrounded, but he surrounded this group of guards. At this time, Yuwen Chengde, the deputy captain of the guard, was furious, thinking that you, a small grass people, dare to offend us and others, if you don't let you shed your skin today, I will not be a member of the Yuwen family, so he scolded angrily: "Bold thief, this is the forbidden place of the horse farm personally pointed out by His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to rebel if you disturb it again?" I advise you to lay down your arms, and we will check them later. Yuwen Chengde glanced at the guards at the same time, which means that as soon as he puts down his weapon, you immediately rush forward.
It's a pity that these arrogant guards didn't expect the big man to be so short-tempered, and in the face of the guards' difficulties, not only did they not swallow their anger, nor did they put down their weapons, but they were furious, and their eyes were red and said: "You dog officials, I just passed by here, and I said that I was a thief, and I didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and today I will kill the official and rebel." After saying this, the momentum of the two sides increased in vain, and the surroundings were also quiet and weird, the two sides confronted each other, did not dare to move slightly, the situation was extremely tense, and a big war was about to begin. At this critical moment, the big man clenched the spear with both hands, strode forward, the speed was fast, and the corners of his mouth roared, "Kill." Although the big man swept down with both hands of the gun, the marksmanship was very fast, the back of the hand, the green tendons on the forehead were exposed, the guards saw the hateful appearance of the big man like a ghost and were frightened by surprise, before they could resist, those who stood in front of a group of guards were swept by the big man, all fell to the ground and couldn't move, and the mouth wailed non-stop, and Yuwen Chengde because he stood in front, and he only relied on his uncle's position to become the deputy captain of the guards, without much force, he fell to the ground in front of him. At this time, I was extremely frightened, and I kept yelling: "Quick, quick, take down this thief, or I will ask my uncle to kill you all." ”
And at this time, the guards of the East Palace didn't care so much, and surrounded the Han in the middle. At this moment, the big man didn't know that more and more guards were surrounding him, struggling to kill the guards, and he had injured dozens of guards, and he was already panting and lying on the ground, tired, but there were indeed more and more guards behind him to surround him, hating the revenge of killing his brother, but he died here. His eyes were angry at the sky, and he could only look up to the sky and roar: "The eldest husband has not yet made a meritorious career and is famous for eternity, how can he die in the hands of such a villain?" There was a deep unwillingness in his tone. Then his eyes glared at Yuwen Chengde, who was already hiding behind the guards, and shouted, "I'll die." Being a ghost won't let you go. Yuwen Chengde was also not to be outdone, although he was afraid of the big man in his heart, he shouted again in his mouth: "Remember to wipe your eyes in the next life, don't offend people who shouldn't be offended, otherwise you will continue to be a ghost." "Hey, no matter how powerful and heroic the big man is, he will be wheeled to death by the wheel war. At this time, Yang Zhao already knew what had happened, it was the guards who wanted to ask for a bribe, but the big man refused, and as a result, there was this scene in front of him. If it was Yang Zhao who was in the past, he would still be sympathetic to his subordinates and turn a blind eye, and he would not ask about this matter. But now that Yang Zhao has crossed over, he understands that the Sui Dynasty is about to fall, and as his own East Palace guards or the guards that are about to be established, if there are moths inside, are these cronies still cronies? They are unreliable, why should they fight for world domination. What's more, Yang Zhao also had a love for Dahan and decided to recruit him. So he waved his hand, "Stop." Seeing the arrival of the prince, the guards knelt down to ask for peace, and at this time Yuwen Chengde was also proud, not knowing that the prince who had sheltered his subordinates before would take him to the knife, and when he walked, he was vigilant against the sneak attack of the big man, and ran to the prince's side to complain: "His Royal Highness the prince, this fang is a great crime, and he intends to rebel, and he was caught by us." Your Highness has to make decisions for your brother who is lying on the ground. After saying that, he cried pretendedly, and the guards knew that the prince was too benevolent and righteous in the past, and his heart was very soft, and he couldn't see others crying, and secretly thought that this man was going to be unlucky. Who knew that before the guards finished crying, the prince ordered left and right: "Come on, drag this Yuwen Chengde down and behead it, and all the guards who disturbed the trouble together were driven out of the East Palace, and from now on these people will not be appointed." "Your Highness spare your life, spare your life, Your Highness, my uncle is Yu Wenhua, please spare your life." Yuwen Chengde's face turned pale with fright at this time, and he muttered in his mouth, since there was a yellow liquid below, there was a pungent smell in the air, and everyone covered their noses and despised it. At this time, the captain of the guard knelt down and pleaded for him: "Your Highness, this person is the son of Yuwen Zhiji, Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Zhihe are not fond of him, and it may be inappropriate for His Highness to kill him." will incur revenge from the Yuwen family. Yang Zhao secretly thought that Yu Wenhua's hands had touched the East Palace, and when he was busy with Marseille, he must clean up the guards who were sincerely devoted to the Yuwen family, and killing his nephew would inevitably make him oppose Lone, so as to expose his intentions towards the Yuwen family as soon as possible, but there would also be many benefits: first, it can make the courtiers who are hostile to the Yuwen family defect to me, and second, it can test who Yuwen Chengdu is more loyal to, and third, although Yang Guang pampered the Yuwen family to listen to him in all political affairs, and killed his brother and father for the throne, but he did not kill his son for the Yuwen family. (Yang Guang generally loves his children, and he really didn't kill his own children, which is much better than some emperors.) )
"I've made up my mind, so you don't have to persuade me anymore. As the captain of the guard, you connived at your subordinates to do evil, and you should be punished for your crimes, but you should go back to recuperate because of your hard work. Yang Zhao didn't know if the captain of the guard team was a henchman of the Yuwen family, but he knew that there could be no uncertain factors around him, so he could only dismiss the captain of the guard. After doing these things, Yang Zhao immediately walked in front of Dahan, and the Dahan who was lying on the ground at this moment also knew that the person standing in front of him with a deep gaze was the prince, looking at his slight fatness, but his temperament was extraordinary, and at the same time he could deal with it impartially, so Dahan knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for saving your life." ”
"Heroes don't have to be polite, this matter is Lone's fault, and Lonely's lack of knowing people makes heroes suffer from this. Lone should make amends to you. After Yang Zhao finished speaking, he bent down to apologize to Dahan, Dahan was suddenly moved in his heart, and immediately supported His Highness, "I have long heard that His Highness is benevolent and righteous, but I didn't expect His Highness to be able to make amends to my reckless people and admit their mistakes. Xiongxin will definitely do his best for His Highness and die. After Yang Zhao heard this, he suddenly became excited, this is the famous second brother Shan in history, Shan Xiongxin who has a huge appeal between the reckless, Yang Zhao just looked at Shan Xiongxin: "It turned out to be the second brother Shan, I have long heard that the two brothers of Erxianzhuang are heroes, killing the rich and helping the poor on the rivers and lakes, and making friends with heroes, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it, but I didn't want to see the second brother here, it is really fate." Speaking of this, Shan Xiongxin secretly said strangely, His Royal Highness the Prince lives in the palace, but he still cares about reckless things, he really cares about the world, and now the troubled times of the Great Sui have been revealed, and her husband's achievements are at this time, and the prince can be a corporal of courtesy, and he will change to a rare British lord when he knows his mistakes. When the crown prince becomes the emperor one day, it must be a blessing for the world. So he had the heart to serve, "Xiongxin saw His Royal Highness's heroic people and martial arts, and wanted to serve His Highness in the East Palace." I beg your Highness's permission. Yang Zhao knew that once a character like Second Brother Shan said that he would serve himself, as long as he would not let him down, he would not betray Lone, and he was proud that he finally subdued a fierce general, so he said to Xiongxin: "Lone has more important things that need the help of Second Brother, so he will make friends with heroes outside." Now that the father does not listen to the advice of the emperor and appoints the villain, there are few loyal and good people left in the court, and sooner or later the world will be in chaos, and then the prince will also be implicated. When the world was in turmoil, the second brother rebelled in the name of the Qing monarch, and the heroes of the world would gather one after another. At that time, Lone and the second brother will clear the monarch's side together, punish the traitors in the court, and return the world to peace, what does the second brother think? When Xiongxin heard Qingjun's side, his eyes lit up, "Xiongxin will not disgrace the prince's mission." After speaking, Yang Zhao took out a gold medal and handed it to Xiongxin, "With this gold medal, the local government will not dare to embarrass you." The second brother is also much more convenient. ”
"Second brother also wants to participate in Marseille?"
"Xiongxin is not here to participate in Marseille, but mainly to make friends with heroes and heroes." Yang Zhao knew that Xiongxin's purpose was not only this, otherwise what would he do if he befriended Haojie and ran to the racecourse. "Second brother, I treat you like a brother and sister, but you hide it from you when you have something, do you look down on Lone." At this time, Shan Xiongxin was also hesitant to say whether to say it or not, because the Li family and the Yang family were relatives, and the prince would not offend Li Yuan for him. If you don't say when you will be able to get revenge, just gamble "My brother was killed by the traitor Li Yuan, and I have been trying to find him for revenge in the past few years, but I have not been able to do so, I heard that Li Yuan will come to the racecourse tomorrow, I want to familiarize myself with the environment of the racecourse first, so that I can assassinate." After Xiongxin finished speaking, seeing that the prince was not angry, and did not let people arrest him, he felt that the bet was right. At this time, Yang Zhao remembered that Xiongxin and the Li family in history had a grudge against their brothers, since this was the case, it was better to let Xiongxin participate in Marseille and deal with Li Shimin together in Chengdu. "Second brother, since I recognize you as a brother, then your enmity is my enmity, not to mention that the Li family and I also have accounts to settle. Tomorrow, there will be heavy soldiers in the racecourse, and if the second brother assassinates, he will fail. Tomorrow, their Li family will also compete, so it's better for the second brother to represent the East Palace. The second brother can injure them first in Marseille, but he must not kill them. It's not time to kill Li Yuan now, and Lone promises that you will kill Li Yuan with your own hands in the future. ”
Xiongxin cried when he heard this, and knelt down to the prince with emotion, and his wish was all fulfilled, and he found the hero again. Vowed to pledge allegiance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from now on. Yang Zhao picked up the second brother and walked towards the racecourse.
It was very hot at noon, but there was a group of people standing in the Guogong study at this time.
