Chapter 42 Men forsake me
Chapter 42: People Abandon Me
The courtyard where Huangfu Xu lives is not far from Yang Xuan's study, and the distance is only a dozen zhang, Huangfu Xu was also born in a noble family, but he is in the middle of this house, he has become a poor poor scholar, he has no ability to bind chickens, he makes a living by selling words, it is difficult to support his wife and daughter, but he is appreciated by the king of Qi, so that he is step by step towards wealth, although he also found that the king of Qi is stupid, but out of a sense of gratitude, he still tried his best to assist the king of Qi.
At this time, Huangfu Xu was sitting at his desk writing a letter to the county and arranging some things, he originally only planned to enter Beijing for a day or two, but Yang Xuan encountered a strong challenge from Yang Yuanqing, which endangered his future, and Huangfu Xu had to extend his time in the capital.
His desk was in front of the window, a breeze blew, so that the paper on the table was scattered, he went to get the paperweight casually, but it was empty, Huangfu was stunned, only to find that the ebony unicorn paperweight on his desk was gone, this ebony unicorn paperweight was left to him by his father, it was his beloved thing, with him for more than ten years, has been carrying it with him, saw me yesterday afternoon, put it on the table, why is it gone now?
Huangfu Xu bent down to look on the ground, and then turned back to his bookcase to search for a while, still didn't see it, Huangfu Xu was puzzled for a while, if it was a thief, but he was more valuable than ebony paperweights, what was going on?
At this moment, two guards walked to his door and bowed and said, "The emperor envoy, Your Highness will let you go over immediately." ”
The two guards didn't use the word 'please', which made him feel slightly unhappy, but he didn't have anything, so he quickly got up and walked towards King Qi's study.
As soon as he walked to the door of the study, he saw a large group of guards surrounding King Qi, and everyone looked at him coldly, which made him stunned for a while, I don't know what happened?
Yang Jun waved his hand, "Take it!" ”
Several soldiers rushed up and pressed Huangfu to the ground, and Huangfu was angry and annoyed, shouting: "Your Highness, what am I guilty of, why do you arrest me?" ”
"I know in my heart, this ungrateful bastard!"
Yang Xuan scolded, rushed forward and kicked violently, kicking on Huangfu Xu's nose, and suddenly the bridge of the nose was kicked off, Huangfu Xu screamed, nosebleeds gushed out, he couldn't help but shout in pain: "Your Highness wants to kill me, but let me understand, what crime I have committed?" ”
"You dare to pretend to be stupid and hurt me with disgust, you can admit it!"
Yang Xuan was furious, and kicked him in the face again, at this time, he had vented his hatred for Yang Yuanqing on Huangfu Xu, he believed that Huangfu Xu had been bribed and used disgust to win him, so his father didn't trust him, all of this was caused by ebony.
"Your Highness, I only came yesterday, how can I hate and harm Your Highness?" The emperor was anxious to defend himself.
"As soon as Yang Yuanqing entered Beijing, he also appeared, is this a coincidence? It is clear that we have premeditated, we will converge first, and then enter Beijing at the same time, so that my subordinates will be killed! ”
Yang Yan believes in Pan Dan as a god, and believes in his words, the external enemy is not terrible, what he is afraid of is internal trouble, he has already decided that Huangfu is harming himself, no matter how Huangfu explains it, he doesn't believe it.
"Drag me down and beat me with a hundred sticks, and drive me out of the house!"
If it weren't for Huangfu Xu's Yique County Order, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his father, and he would have beaten Huangfu to death with a stick.
Several guards dragged Huang Fu Xu down, and Huang Fu Xu was so anxious that he shouted, "Your Highness, you can't do this, this is self-destruction of the Great Wall, this is someone framing me!" ”
The voice gradually faded away, Yang Xuan's hatred was not gone, and he scolded: "Whoever dares to harm me again will not be spared!" ”
In fact, the bad guards around him feel a little wrong, even if they want to harm people, how can they use their belongings to be disgusted, so that others can see at a glance, isn't this self-surrender?
But no one dared to persuade Yang Jun, he came back from the backyard Taoist temple and dug up, it is estimated that it was the idea of Pan Shangxian, the king of Qi is like a god for this Tao, and he is obedient to his words, who dares to say more, can only secretly complain for the emperor.
.......
King Qi's side door opened, and the two guards carried out a stretcher, on which was the Huangfu Xu, who was beaten to a bloody pulp, was already dying, and the two guards put the stretcher outside the door, and then they didn't care, and with a bang, they closed the door.
At this time, the soldiers of the right guard of the East Palace who were patrolling outside the gate of the mansion surrounded each other, and no one knew what was going on, and someone immediately went to report to Han Shi'e
Han Shi'e walked quickly, he squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized the comatose Huangfu Xu, who had seen him at the gate of Beishi last night.
He hurriedly instructed the soldiers: "Send this person to the general quickly!" ”
Several soldiers found a carriage and carried the stretcher onto the carriage, which headed for the outcasts outside the city, where Yang Shishu should have been.
......
It wasn't until the afternoon that Huangfu finally woke up from his coma, the pain in his body disappeared, and a burst of coolness came, he slowly looked around, he was lying in an elegant room, outside the courtyard was full of green trees, and the fragrance of flowers was wafting.
At this time, a young soldier walked in, saw Huangfu wake up, and said excitedly: "Mr. is awake, I'll go tell Gongzi!" ”
"This brother!"
Huangfu shouted to him with difficulty, the bridge of his nose ached, only then did he find that his nose had been wrapped in gauze, and the pictures of the morning jumped into his mind, and Yang Yan kicked the bridge of his nose bone.
Huangfu sighed secretly and asked with difficulty, "Where am I now?" ”
The young soldier was Yang Jiulang, one of Yang Yuanqing's iron guards, who had a baby face and was actually twenty-five years old, the youngest of the nine iron guards.
Yang Jiulang said with a smile: "This is Shangshanfang, a courtyard rented by my son-in-law, the famous doctor has come to see, Mr. Huangfu is only a flesh injury, not broken muscles and bones, but the bridge of the nose is broken, it will take a while to heal." ”
Huangfu Xu knew that this was the king of Qi's guards who killed him, but the king of Qi was ruthless and actually kicked off the bridge of his nose. ”
"Does the Huangfu County Order feel better?"
There was a hearty laugh outside, and then Yang Yuanqing walked into the room quickly, and the emperor was stunned, "Yes!" ”
"Who does the Huangfu County Order think it will be? Except for me, who else in the capital would dare to save him? ”
Yang Yuanqing sat down in front of Huangfu Xu with a smile, and said: "I know first, the injury of the Huangfu County Order has nothing to do with me, and I don't know anything about this matter. ”
"I know that this matter has nothing to do with it, it was King Qi who was stupid and listened to the words of the demons, and I was victimized."
Huangfu Xu knew in his heart that except for the Pan Demon Dao who hated him to the bone, he did not offend others, and only Pan Demon Dao could convince the King of Qi to distrust him.
This result was indeed unexpected by Yang Yuanqing, he thought that Pan Demon Dao was favored, and he would definitely obey the King of Qi to take revenge on himself, but he didn't expect that the first person this person to deal with was Huangfu Xu, Yang Yuanqing was still thinking about how to deal with King Qi, a shrewd military advisor, but he didn't expect King Qi to destroy the Great Wall, it was really the will of heaven, and the sky was going to kill him.
"Doesn't the Huangfu County Order think that this is the will of heaven? Heaven is evil, especially evil, self-inflicted, not live! ”
After a while, the emperor sighed, "If he listens to the words of the demon, he will never recover, and there will be no more chance." ”
Huangfu Xu felt sad in his heart, and said to Yang Yuanqing with difficulty: "Thank you General Yang for saving my life regardless of the past suspicions, Huangfu Xu remembered from the bottom of his heart, and begged General Yang to help me hire an ox cart again to send me back to Yique County." ”
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time, he actually fell in love with Huangfu Xu, last night Huangfu Xu's shrewdness left a deep impression on him, there is a lack of such strategists around him, although he himself is not stupid, but the wise man has a thousand thoughts, there is still a mistake, not to mention that he is not experienced enough, some things may not be done properly, he needs a strategist to remind himself, give him advice.
"Can the Huangfu County Order know that the King of Qi has 5,000 armorers?"
Huangfu was stunned, he knew that the king of Qi raised some dead soldiers, and the king of Qi told him that there were only four or five hundred people, so he didn't take it to heart, and it was normal for a prince to raise a little strange people, but he didn't expect it to be five thousand armorers, that was another matter.
"General Yang..... Is this true? ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I found out about this when I killed Yuan Shangying, and later I went to Jinyang Palace to confirm that Yang Jian did take thousands of sets of armor from Jinyang Palace, and now I have obtained accurate information, Yang Jian has raised five thousand armor soldiers, distributed in five places, of which there is one hidden in Yique County, I thought I knew." ”
Huangfu Xu was terrified in his heart, he had never heard of this matter, "No, he never told me about it, General Yang, is there a team of armored soldiers hidden in Yique County?" ”
"Does Yique County have his estate?"
"Yes! There are three manors, could it be that they are hidden in Longmen Manor? ”
Huangfu remembered that there was a large manor of the King of Qi near the Longmen Grottoes, occupying 10,000 acres of land, surrounded by walls, and valleys and rivers, which was an ideal place for Tibetan soldiers.
At this time, beads of sweat appeared on Huangfu Xu's forehead, and he finally realized that King Qi was playing with fire, and King Qi raised armor soldiers in addition to his ambition to usurp the throne, and he really couldn't think of any other reason, but the Holy One was heavily defended, and it was a fool's dream for him to want to mutiny and usurp the throne, once the Holy One knew, the King of Qi would be finished, and now that Yang Yuanqing has mastered it, how long can the King of Qi last, once the King of Qi falls, what will happen to him?
Huangfu didn't dare to think about it anymore, the private army was raised in his Yique County, and he would definitely die.
Yang Yuanqing said lightly: "I don't hide the order of Huangfu County, this time I am in the capital, in the name of stabilizing the situation in the capital, but the real intention of the saint is to let me seize the 20,000 troops of the East Palace, he is afraid that the king of Qi will take risks, the meaning of the saint is already obvious, he has given up the king of Qi, since two years ago the king of Qi raised dead soldiers, the saint has doubts about him, so he has not let him enter the East Palace, and now he has not dealt with the rebellion in the capital, the saint has been disappointed in him, more importantly, the saint can sit on the throne for at least twenty years, if the king of Qi is the prince, can he wait for twenty years? The Holy One knows this. ”
Yang Yuanqing saw that Huangfu Xu was already sweating profusely, and he knew that with Huangfu Xu's wisdom, he didn't need to do anything more, as long as he dug a ditch by himself, it would be a canal.
"If Mr. Huangfu is willing, I can create a false impression that Mr. Huangfu was killed by the King of Qi, Mr. can be incognito, follow me, and be my staff, if Mr. is unwilling, I will not be reluctant, in short, I will try my best to help Mr."
Huangfu Xu bowed his head and was silent, Yang Yuanqing's ruthlessness and decisiveness and Yang Jin's stupid conceit formed a stark contrast, if he followed Yang Yuanqing it was his own way out, otherwise he would have nowhere to go, would he still let him sell words for a living, Yang Yuanqing ignored his previous suspicions, saved his life, and reused himself, knowing that he knew and cherished talents, this was the master of his Huangfu Xu.
After pondering for a long time, he sighed, "After all, King Qi is kind to me, although he is ruthless, I don't want to be unjust to him, the general may agree?" ”
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "To deal with a stupid person like King Qi, you don't need Mr. to make a move. ”
Huangfu Xu resolutely made up his mind and said: "The general saved my life, how can I not know the entu, Huangfu is willing to serve the general!" ”
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, "I'll send someone to bring my family here!" ”
