Yang Yuanba traveled all the way, his body was exhausted, and on the first night he returned to Beijing, he slept very sweetly, and slept until dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Yuanba was awakened by a knock on the door, he jumped up from the bed and walked quickly towards the courtyard, "Who is it?"

"Yuanba, it's me!" was the voice of the chief butler Yang Yingting.

Among all Yang Yuanba's uncles and grandfathers, only this Yang Yingting and second uncle Yang Yingqi have always been good to him, and other uncles and brothers are not very friendly to him, including his father Yang Yinglong, he has returned to Beijing twice Until now, he has not seen his father, of course, the first time was because Yang Xiong died, and this time he returned home at night, without alarming anyone, and his father did not know that he came back, and he was also cleaning up.

Yang Yuanba opened the door and said hello with a smile, "Sixth Uncle is early!"

Yang Yingting smiled a little reluctantly, "I heard from the porter that I learned that you came back last night." ”

Yang Yingting should be in a good mood, he had just been canonized because of his uncle's merits, but at this time, the expression on his face was really not matched with happiness, and his face was helpless, Yang Yuanba also noticed it, so he asked: "Sixth uncle, is something wrong?"

"He Fubo came, right at the gate of the house, and he refused to enter the door, indicating that he was looking for you. ”

After a pause, Yang Yingting smiled bitterly again, "It is recommended that you bring weapons and war horses." ”

Yang Yuanba couldn't help sneering, He Fubo was so quick to news, who gave him a tip-off, even the people in the Yang Mansion didn't know that he had returned, but he already knew, he came to take revenge on himself, it was good, he was waiting!

Yang Yuanba turned around and went back to the house, put on his side plug military uniform, wearing thin armor, wearing an iron helmet, carrying a horizontal knife at his waist, and walking quickly towards the stables with a sky-breaking lance...... the small square in front of Yang's Mansion has gathered a sea of people, almost a square of people have come to see the excitement, a shocking and extremely interesting news is rapidly spreading to the nearby neighborhoods, Song Guogong He Fubo led three hundred Ding to Yang Su's Mansion to provoke.

This kind of thing only happened after the Battle of Pingliang 17 or 8 years ago, when He Han fought for merit, and He Fubo led hundreds of generals to provoke in front of Han Jinggong's mansion, causing a storm in the city, and today it happens to be the protagonist of the merit case that year, He Fubo.

At this time, hundreds of families on Yang Su's mansion also all went out, guarding the gate tightly, and the two halberds were also moved back to the mansion gate, just Yang Chudao's brother Yang Yue had just returned from Taiyuan the day before yesterday, and he was resting in the mansion today, he heard the news and came out, and was persuading He Fubo to go back.

He Fubo was fully armored, carrying an eighty-pound Panmen broadsword, riding on a tall war horse, his eyes were full of grief and indignation, his most beloved second son He Jin died of illness due to an accidental infection of the wound a month ago, and the hatred between him and Yang Yuanba can only be ended with death, either he dies or Yang Yuanba dies, there is no second way.

Yang Yue was awarded the title of Inner History Order for his great contribution to the successful seizure of military power in the capital, and his persuasion did not move He Fubo.

He Fubo said coldly: "Yang Neishi, please go back to the house, this matter is my personal enmity with Yang Yuanba, and it has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion, kill Yang Yuanba, I, He Fubo, am willing to let Yang Taifu deal with it, whether it is to kill or chop, listen to it, but today Yang Yuanba must die." ”

Yang Yue was also a little annoyed, this He Fubo is also a sixty-year-old man, he is the Duke of the Kingdom, how to do things like an ignorant hairy boy, come to the Yang Mansion to spread wild, what is this, and keep saying that it has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion, is this called irrelevant?

"He Guogong, if you have any dissatisfaction with my Yang family, you can go to the saint to complain, what responsibility should my Yang family bear, the saint will come up to decide, my Yang family has nothing to say, but you are a dignified prince, but you come to the door of the Yang family's mansion to provoke, I must not accept it, I finally warn you, go back! ”

Yang Yue's threat, He Fubo didn't listen to a word, he only had the tragic situation of his son losing an arm, only the son's last dying plea for him to take revenge, at this time his heart was already filled with hatred, he only had one thought, kill Yang Yuanba, use his head to pay tribute to his son, as for whether to offend the Yang family, he has already let it go.

He Fubo's eyes suddenly lit up, and then flashed with a deep hatred, twisting his shoulders slightly, the shoulder bones clicked, and his eyes stared in one direction, and there was a commotion in front of the Yang Mansion.

As soon as Yang Yue turned around, he saw Yang Yuanba appear on horseback, and he was stunned in his heart, when did Yuanba come back?

When he saw Yang Yuanba's full body armor and holding a long lance, his face suddenly sank, and he scolded: "Yuanba, what are you going to do?"

Yang Yuanba bowed his hand to Yang Yue, "Second grandfather, someone wants to come to me Yang Yuanba for trouble, I should accompany you!"

"Nonsense!"

Yang Yue said angrily: "This is the gate of the Yang Mansion, do you want to kill people in front of the Yang Mansion?"

Yang Yuanba didn't want to involve the Yang family in this matter, so he urged him to step forward and said coldly to He Fubo: "I will sign a life and death certificate with you, and fight a decisive battle in a different place." ”

In the face of the murderous enemy, He Fubo's pupils contracted into a line, and he couldn't wait to chop Yang Yuanba into two pieces with a knife, but this is the Yang Mansion after all, He Fubo laughed cruelly: "Okay! I'll find the person in the middle, you come to set the time and place, we won't die." ”

Yang Yuanba met He Fubo's fierce gaze without fear, and said calmly: "The place is very simple, it is in the Chongrenfang Zuowei School Field, and the time is set at noon tomorrow, and we will not die." ”

"Neither Death nor Separation!"

He Fubo turned around and shouted angrily, "Let's go!"

He took the three hundred Ding Hao away, Yang Yue was so angry that his face was flushed, he glared at Yang Yuanba fiercely for a long time, but he didn't know what to say about him, Yang Yuanba said unusually calmly: "This matter has nothing to do with the Yang family, it is my personal grudge, I hope the Yang family will not meddle in this matter." ”

Opening his mouth and closing his mouth to the Yang family, as if he was not a member of the Yang family, Yang Yue wanted to give him a slap in the face, but thinking of the eldest brother's connivance with this son, he had no choice but to say: "Okay! Since you want to gamble on this life, then whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion." ”

Yang Yuanba turned the horse's head and ran out of the workshop, Yang Yue was stunned, he looked at Yang Yuanba's back as he gradually moved away, and he had to admire this child's toughness, he really didn't ask the Yang family, and confronted He Fubo with his own strength.

........ Yang Yuanba went directly to the Jin Palace, at this time, Yang Zhao was eating his second meal in the morning in the dining hall, he didn't know how many meals he had to eat a day, anyway, he had to eat when he was hungry, and if he didn't eat, he would have the pain of starvation, hearing Yang Yuanba's arrival, Yang Zhao hurriedly smiled and ordered: "Please come here!"

After a while, Yang Yuanba followed a eunuch into the dining hall, and Yang Zhao smiled and said, "It's just in time, let's eat a little together!"

Yang Yuanba stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, I have an important matter to tell Your Highness." ”

Yang Zhao saw Yang Yuanba's cautious expression, so he nodded, ordered the left and right to bring the food away, and the palace people served them tea again, Yang Zhao asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, He Fubo came to look for me this morning. ”

"Sure enough, you guessed it!"

Yang Zhao sneered and said, "If it weren't for someone who reported the news, how could He Fubo know that you were back so quickly, and then, how are you going to deal with it?"

"I don't care about the people behind the scenes, but I have already made a life-and-death fight with him, just tomorrow. ”

"Life and death fight?" Yang Zhao was startled, "Do you want to kill him?"

Yang Yuanba smiled, "Maybe he killed me?"

After a pause, Yang Yuanba said again: "But I have an idea about this matter." ”

Yang Yuanba stepped forward and whispered a few words to Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao's eyes suddenly widened, and he gasped, oh my God! This Yang Yuanba's courage is too big.

"No, this method is too vicious, I can't promise you!" Yang Zhao refused.

Yang Yuanba also knew that his methods were vicious, but he now wanted to hold Yang Ying's thighs, this was a good opportunity, he wanted to bet on this, Yang Yuanba shook his head and said: "Your Highness, if you want to do great things, it is not enough to have a woman's heart, you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, otherwise Your Highness will one day be defeated in the hands of King Qi because your heart is too good, please think twice." ”

Yang Yuanba's words hit Yang Zhao's vital point, he pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "I can't accept this matter, but I can go and talk to my father to see what my father's attitude is?"

......... the news that the grandson of Yang Chudao is going to fight with He Fubo for life and death spread all over Daxing City like a gust of wind, scandals and decisive battles have always been the topics that ordinary people are most interested in, for a while, the battle of He Yang has become the focus of the entire capital, and even replaced the battle of three products and eighteen generals that will be held ten days later, wine shops, green buildings, music squares, inns, gambling halls, almost all people are talking about this battle of life and death in public places, and everyone is excitedly looking forward to the results.

There are also disdainful people, the dignified Song Guogong disregards his identity, and he wants to fight a life-and-death battle with a border general, which is despicable.

But there are also people who understand that with Yang Chudao's current status, it is almost impossible for He Fubo to sue Yang Chudao's grandson, and he can only use this private duel to avenge the murder of his son.

The news spread more and more, and even spread to the palace, and finally alarmed Emperor Yang Ying.

In the imperial study room of Taiye Palace, Yang Ying was sitting on the imperial couch, listening to Yang Yinglong talk about the causes and consequences of the dispute between He and Yang, in fact, Yang Ying also knew a little about this matter, he heard his daughter Princess Nanyang tell him about Yang Yuanba's impact on the He Mansion, and he also knew what the cause of this incident was?

Although He Fubo suffered a great shame in this matter, and finally his son also died of illness, which can be said to have suffered a heavy blow, but Yang Ying didn't want to care, on the one hand, it was Yang Yuanba who saved his life, and on the other hand, He Fubo supported the former prince Yang Jun, which made Yang Ying always linger, he suspected that He Fubo also participated in the Renshou Palace Change, but there was no evidence, Liu Shu committed suicide, and all the evidence was annihilated, and He Ruofubo died because of this, which is the best.

Yang Ying saw that Yang Yinglong was worried, hoping that he could come forward to stop this private fight, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Yang Aiqing, in fact, I thought it should be He Fubo who came to beg me to stop it, did Yang Aiqing think that Yuanba would suffer misfortune?"

Yang Yinglong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Yuanba is the son of the minister, whether he is killed, or he kills He Fubo, the minister feels that it is inappropriate, after all, He Fubo is an important minister of the court, and he has deep connections in the court, even if he dies in a fair duel, but Yuanba will still erect a lot of enemies, Your Majesty, Yuanba is still too young to understand this kind of human sophistication, and this private fight also loses the system of the court, and the minister begs His Majesty to give an order to stop this unnecessary private fight." ”

Yang Ying pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is the intermediary in their life-and-death battle?"

"Weichen heard that it was Dugu Cheng. ”

Dugu Cheng is the younger brother of Dugu Luo, and he is also an important figure among the nobles of Guanlong, Yang Ying was a little stunned, a thought flashed in his mind at this moment, although this thought was not very clear, just a vague outline, but he was still so excited that he couldn't help but tremble slightly, but Yang Ying quickly restrained the excitement in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "That's it! You let Yuanba come to see me, and I will persuade him." ”

"Your Majesty, Yuan Ba no longer lives in the mansion, and the minister heard that he is temporarily living in the palace of the king of Jin. ”

Yang Ying nodded, "Since that's the case, then forget it, I know this matter in my heart, Aiqing retreat!"

"Your Majesty, Thank You, Weichen!"

Yang Yinglong retreated, and Yang Ying saw that a eunuch at the door wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has come down and said that he has something urgent to see. ”

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Yang Zhao walked into the imperial study with difficulty and knelt down for his father, "The son sees his father, I wish my father long live, long live, long live!"

Since the Renshou Palace incident, Yang Ying's impression of the eldest son Yang Zhao has been much better, although the eldest son is obese, but he is very sober-minded and effective, the key is that he treats people generously, so that Yang Ying is very pleased, he came to sweep away all obstacles, and then let his son Shi Renzheng, which is also good, but his body is worrying.

Thinking of this, Yang Ying asked her son softly, "How is the emperor's health recently?"

Yang Zhao's nose was sour, how many years, his father has not asked about his body, and today he cares about himself again, he choked up and said: "Thank you for your concern, my son is very good, and his weight has decreased." ”

"It's a good thing, you have to control your ** on food, so that you will slowly lose weight, your body will get better, I am looking forward to you becoming stronger. ”

Yang Zhao kowtowed, and said with red eyes: "Erchen remembers his father's words and will never indulge himself. ”

"Then I can rest assured. ”

Yang Ying nodded with a smile and asked again, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor's coming today?"

"Father, regarding the fight between Yang Yuanqing and He Fubo, Yang Yuanba gave a suggestion to his sons. ”

Yang Zhao looked at the eunuchs on both sides, and didn't say any more, Yang Ying waved his hand to both sides, "You all go down!"

All the eunuchs retreated, and only Yang Ying's father and son were left in the imperial study.

"What suggestion did Yang Yuanba make?"

......... a few little eunuchs hid in the corner and whispered, their words full of dissatisfaction with Yang Yinglong.

"Yang Yuanjun is too, the Holy Emperor's affairs are so heavy, and he also uses these family affairs to worry about the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord really listened to him for a long time. ”

"Hey, you don't understand, after all, He Fubo is the Duke of Song, he is a dignified Duke of the Kingdom, and he also ran out to write life and death reports, fighting with people to the death, which is too unseemly. ”

"Wrong! You are all wrong, the fundamental reason is that Yang Yuanba is the grandson of Yang Taifu, and the saint must see the face of Yang Taifu, so he asked. ”

........ a few people whispered, and at this time, the voice of Emperor Yang Ying came from the room, "Come in." ”

Several eunuchs hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see Yang Zhao standing aside with his hands down, while Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his back hand and smiled faintly at Yang Zhao: "This kid has a good mind, and he actually coincides with me." ”

"Your Majesty, please command!" the eunuch asked.

Yang Ying immediately turned around and ordered: "Go to the Jin Palace, and bring Yang Yuanba to me." ”
