Chapter 19: Stern Warning

When night fell, Yang Yuanqing and his wife said goodbye and left, and the Pei family did not stay, today is the first day Yang Yuanqing came back, and the little couple naturally had endless words, Pei You also stayed in Pei Mansion and did not follow them back. ，

With Yang Yuanqing's departure, the tension in Pei Ju's study gradually dissipated, and the two Pei family giants finally reached a compromise, taking two steps, first using Pei Yun's plan to support Yang Yuanqing behind the scenes, the Pei family did not come forward, once the Guanlong forces expanded the attack area and targeted the Shandong Shi clan, the Pei family would be duty-bound.

In the carriage, Pei Minqiu finally snuggled in her husband's arms as she wished, but she didn't disturb Yang Yuanqing's thoughts, she knew that her husband was thinking about important things, as long as she could snuggle in her husband's arms and feel his broad chest and the warmth that made her extremely dependent, she would be satisfied.

Yang Yuanqing leaned on the cushion and gently held Min Qiu in his arms, the light in the carriage was dim, he stared at the pedestrians outside the window, his mind was still slowly moving on the road of political struggle.

Although Pei Ju and Pei Yun both thought that it was not Li Yuan, their intuition told Yang Yuanqing that the proverb must have been spread by Li Yuan, in order to provoke a direct conflict between him and Yuanshou and deepen the hatred between him and Yuanshou.

Others didn't know that he and Li Yuan were secretly fighting in the case of Yuan Shangying, but the two of them knew in their hearts that Li Yuan was put together by himself, how could he stand by and watch, and more importantly, if Li Yuan was really a loyal and timid person, how could he become the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.

The open gun is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, Yang Yuanqing is not afraid of the struggle with the Yuan clan, but he is a little worried that the dark arrow shot from Li Yuan, the cold arrow shot by the person wearing the cloak of loyalty and honesty will be unguardable, and he must give Li Yuan a stern warning.

In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Guanlong nobles to deal with him, he can take the opportunity to unite the Shandong Shi clan to his side, this is an opportunity.

"Husband, is the matter serious?"

Pei Minqiu felt the muscles on her husband's body tense, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "I think you seem to be a little nervous." Templar,"

Yang Yuanqing relaxed his body for a moment, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to his wife, so he lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, and smiled in her ear: "I'm not nervous, I'm thinking about what name to give our child in the future?" ”

Pei Minqiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Husband, I'm thinking about naming the child now, it's too early!" ”

"It's not early, isn't it tonight?"

Pei Minqiu understood what he meant, and was ashamed in her heart, struggling to sit up, but Yang Yuanqing firmly held her in her arms and laughed in a low voice: "Don't you want to have your own child?" ”

Pei Minqiu was hugged tightly by him, although she was shy, there was a sweetness in her heart, she shyly buried her head in her husband's arms, but a white and chubby little baby appeared in her mind, and her eyes gradually lit up.

．．．．．．．

In the northwest corner of Zhengpingfang, there is a house covering an area of fifteen or sixteen acres, here is Li Yuan's mansion, like other Guanlong nobles, Li Yuan's ancestor Li Hu is also a six-town garrison, is a Huhua Han people, with the outbreak of Hu-Han contradictions within the Northern Wei Dynasty, some military nobles representing the interests of the Xianbei Hu people instigated the soldiers of the six towns to launch an uprising, and finally was suppressed by the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty by the sword Rouran army.

Hundreds of thousands of Hu and Huhua Han people in the six towns were escorted to the Central Plains to settle, most of them were placed in the Hedong area of Hebei, and later formed Gao Huan's Northern Qi forces, and the Wuchuan town soldiers and their families in the six towns were placed in the Guanlong area, and the backbone elements of them gradually gathered around Yuwentai and formed the Guanlong forces, which is the origin of the Guanlong aristocracy, and why so many Sui and Tang Dynasty ministers were originally from Wuchuan.

With the rise of Yuwentai, Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu also stepped onto the political stage, one of the eight pillars of Guanlong, according to the requirements of Yuwentai's return to Guanlong, Li Hu was sent to Longxi, and became the descendant of the famous Li family in Longxi.

Although Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu had a high status, due to the untimely death of his father Li Xun, he was not able to catch up with the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, and in the first year of the emperor's reign, Li Yuan was only sixteen years old. (，)

Although Yang Jian remembered the old love and still made Li Yuan the Duke of Tangguo, among the various families of the Guanlong Group, the Li Yuan family could only be ranked in the middle and lower, becoming an inconspicuous small force.

Li Yuan is known for his loyalty, cautious and timid, such a character was first favored by Yang Guang, who was bent on suppressing the Guanlong aristocracy, and he was repeatedly degraded, from the rich Longxi and Xingyang Taishou, and gradually degraded to the bitter and barren frontier land Lou Fu Taishou, this time if it was not for the merit of repairing the Fenyang Palace, he would not have a bright future.

In history, Yang Guang was confused by Li Yuan's cowardly and timid disguised character, and decided that he would not rebel, and entrusted him with reuse.

The night is getting deeper, Li Yuan is sitting in the study reading a book, he seems a little uneasy, not a matter of prophecy, he believes that no one can think that Yang Yuanqing's prophecy is what he did, he is for a meeting in Yuanshou Mansion this afternoon, Yuanshou actually asked him to come forward to impeach Yang Yuanqing for killing Yuan Shangying without permission, Yuanshou's reasons are indeed very sufficient, he knows this matter best, and it is most convincing for him to impeach, but Li Yuan does not want to admit this head, not only will he be burned, but Yuan Shangying was once the confidant of King Qi. Who knows if he has anything to do with the deposed King of Qi? In case of implicating King Qi, his career will be in danger.

Li Yuan was worried, and was thinking about how to avoid this matter, so that he would not have to show his face or offend the other Guan Long families.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the housekeeper reported in horror: "Master, go out and take a look, there is an accident at the gate!" ”

Li Yuan was startled, hurriedly got up and walked out, walked to the door, a gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver, then he remembered that it was autumn and winter, he was only wearing a thin inner robe, he was about to go back to the house to dress, his mind suddenly moved, and he didn't care about dressing, and hurriedly walked outside the door of the house.

More than a dozen family members had gathered on the steps of the gate, and the eldest son Jiancheng, the second son Shimin, and several of his nephews had rushed to hear the news, and the porter was talking to them.

"I heard someone shouting the name of the master in the dark night, and let the master receive arrows, and I heard a 'click' sound, and I opened the door and came out, and I saw that this was not good."

Li Yuan walked out of the gate quickly, he saw that everyone was looking up at the top of the mansion gate, he also looked up, and was immediately surprised, only to see that on the plaque of the 'Tang State Mansion', there was an arrow, which happened to be inserted in the word 'Tang', and there seemed to be a letter on the arrow shaft.

"Quick! Take it off! Li Yuan shouted urgently.

Several family members moved the ladder and said, "I'm coming!" Li Shimin climbed up the ladder, pulled the arrow from the plaque, and handed it to his father, Li Yuan hurriedly opened the letter, suddenly, his body became stiff, his face turned pale for a moment, and his hands trembled slightly, Li Jiancheng stood behind his father, and by the faint light of the lantern on the door, he also saw the content of the letter, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and the letter was also a few proverbs.

'The eighteen sons of the East China Sea, the ancestral home of Longxi, wearing Yang Sui clothes, called Li Chaoqi in his heart. ’

Suddenly, Li Yuan's body shook, and he fell headlong and rolled down the steps, frightening the Li family members to be in a hurry, Li Jiancheng ran down to help his father and shouted: "Father, father!" How are you? ”

The children all gathered around, Li Shimin ran back to the inner house to report to his mother, and the housekeeper was about to ask for a doctor, but when everyone was in a panic, Li Jiancheng felt his father gently pinch him, he was stunned, but immediately reacted and shouted: "Don't rush to ask for a doctor first, carry my father back!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Jiancheng was entrusted by his father to ask for leave from the ministry, and his father suffered from cold at night and suffered from a recurrence of chronic illness, so he asked for leave for 10 days.

．．．．．．．

At the same moment when Li Yuan was warned, in the Lonely Mansion, the head of the family, Dugu Zhen, was receiving a heavyweight guest, Neishi Ling Yuanshou.

Among the Guanlong nobles, the Dugu family and the Yuan family have the same lofty status, both families are the leaders of the Guanlong nobles, and in terms of economic strength, the Dugu family is even higher, if the Yuan family wants to unite with the Guanlong forces to deal with Yang Yuanqing and even the Shandong Shi clan, he will not be able to bypass the Dugu family.

The relationship between the Yuan family and the Dugu family has always been very good, generations of marriages, in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui, because of the Dugu queen, Dugu became the first major relative of the Sui Dynasty, and took care of the Yuan family, at least before Yang Guang ascended the throne, the relationship between the two families was solid, but with Yang Guang's accession to the throne, there began to be a crack between the two families.

Especially in the case of He Ruobi, the real mastermind Dugu Luo was released, and the second mastermind Dugu was only given death to preserve his reputation and title, but Yuan Guan, who was inadvertently involved, became the mastermind and was killed, and his reputation was ruined, which made the Yuan family have a trace of dissatisfaction with the Dugu family, including Yuan Shou's second son Yuan Shangjun was supposed to marry the daughter of the Dugu family, but Yuan Shou withdrew from the marriage under the pretext of disagreement.

Although there is a rift in the relationship between the two families, it is still good on the surface, such as Yuanshou's visit, Duguzhen personally went out of the door to greet him, and the two talked happily and were as intimate as usual.

Yuanshou's purpose is very clear, that is, he hopes that the Dugu family will also participate in dealing with Yang Yuanqing and the Shandong Shi clan, of course, he also knows that he can't command the Dugu family, and he is not allowed to make huge profits, and the Dugu family will not participate.

"If we can hit the Pei family hard this time, and the Pei family will go down to one, we will all support the Dugu family to enter the cabinet." Yuan Shou said cautiously.

Dugu Zhen couldn't help sneering in his heart, who did he think Yuanshou could dominate the composition of Xiangguo? Even if one of the Pei family's ministers is killed, the quota of Xiangguo still belongs to the Shandong Shi clan, and it is not their turn to be Guanlong nobles, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this quota belongs to the Guanlong nobles, will it definitely be given to the Dugu clan? This Yuanshou is too taken for granted.

Although he thought so in his heart, Dugu Zhen did not show it on his face, and said with a faint smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a prime minister, if all the families of the Guanlong nobles agree unanimously, the Dugu family will not be left alone, Brother Changshou, please rest assured, although the Dugu family is thin and has no available talents, but at least we will support it financially, and the Dugu family will bear half of the money and materials needed." ”

Yuanshou smiled bitterly in his heart, if you want money, the Yuan family also has it, in fact, Dugu Zhen means that he doesn't want to participate and stay out of the matter, but if the Dugu family doesn't participate, there will inevitably be other families who will retreat, resulting in the last plate of loose sand, which is something that Yuanshou will never see, no matter what, he has to pull the Dugu family in.

Yuanshou also knew that Xiangguo's promise was not reliable, and the general interests of the Dugu family were not in his eyes, but there was one thing that the Dugu family must be interested in.
