The guards of the East Palace only escorted Yang Ye down the mountain, and Yang Yuanba came out of the White Jade Pagoda...... Slowly sneered to the gate of the courtyard, more than 100 guards were cleaning up the corpse, Liu Shu, dressed in a purple robe, had committed suicide, and the corpse was placed next to the pillar of the gate.

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

Yang Yuanba looked at the dead eyes of the last three people, and couldn't help but sigh lowly.

"What are you sighing about?" Yuwen Cheng appeared behind him.

"Nothing!"

Yang Yuanba's gaze turned to Liu Shu again, hiding his heartache for the last three guards.

"I sigh that Liu Shu is obsessed, he is already a very popular minister, but he is willing to take such a big risk to launch a palace coup, even if it is successful, what can he get?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "He's not for power anymore, he hopes that the Tianwu Dynasty will go in another direction, maybe Yang Chao can realize his ideals of home and country." ”

Yuwen Chengdu smiled faintly and said: "The palace struggle has always been extremely cruel, if they don't die today, then we will die tomorrow, you don't have any guilt." ”

Yang Yuanba has an indescribable heaviness in his heart, not because of who is dead or alive, he has experienced too many killings, and he has long looked down on death, even if Yang Chao is beheaded all over the house, he will not take it to heart.

Although Yang Yuanba already knew that Yang Ye was not as mediocre as in history, and he would be an emperor with achievements, Yang Yuanba still inadvertently discovered Yang Ye's vicious side.

Yang Ye killed the last three surviving guards, just because he didn't want others to know his embarrassed appearance when he was in trouble, Yang Ye trembled in fear in the White Jade Pagoda and shrank into a ball, and his timid and afraid of death side was seen by the guards.

Yang Yuanba thought of Yang Ye asking him what reward he wanted, if he really wanted to give himself a reward, did he need to ask?

Yang Ye didn't want to give himself any reward at all, of course, it wasn't that Yang Ye was stingy, but he didn't want others to know that he Yang Yuanba had the merit of saving the driver.

Yang Ye asked himself like that, in fact, he was giving himself a question of life and death.

It should be that his answer was correct, so Yang Ye didn't kill himself, just because at the last moment, he replied that he didn't want any reward...... I just want a piece of advice in the future.

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

"Yuanba's kindness to save the driver, I will remember it in my heart......

This last sentence is the reward that Yang Ye gave him.

At this moment, Yang Yuanba deeply realized the taste of being a companion like a tiger.

Yang Yuanba was very upset in his heart, and he also felt an inexplicable disappointment in Yang Ye, he just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, Yang Yuanba sighed, and said to Yuwen Chengdu: "Please tell my grandfather...... I'll go back to the capital first. ”

Yuwen Chengdu felt that he was depressed, so he patted Yang Yuanba on the shoulder, "When I come back, I will invite you to drink." ”

Yang Yuanba nodded silently, turned around and walked down the mountain, Yuwen Chengdu stared at his back, feeling that his back was so lonely and lonely, Yuwen Chengdu could understand Yang Yuanba's loss very well, and made such a great contribution to saving the driver, but in the end he almost died, who would not be lost?

Emperor Yang Xiong died, the country can not be left without an owner for a day, that night, the crown prince Yang Ye in the support of hundreds of important ministers, in Renshou Palace as the emperor, officially started his imperial career.

Although he ascended the throne as the emperor, his position of Yang Ye was not stable, in order to prevent Yang Chaoyu from burning the jade and jade of the party, Yang Ye kept the palace coup d'état that occurred during the day, and only deduced that the palace guards had internal strife due to trivial matters, and the concubine Liu Shu was unfortunately killed in the infighting.

In this way, except for a few confidant ministers such as Yang Su and Yuwenshu, the rest of the ministers did not know that there had been a shocking coup d'état in Renshou Palace.

Although Yang Ye did not want to expand the coup d'état, he still secretly ordered Yuwenshu to poison the former crown prince Yang Chao overnight, and sent his henchmen into Beijing to kill all of Yang Chao's sons and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Yang Ye also ordered to block the news that the Holy Lord had collapsed and he had ascended the throne, and at the same time issued an edict in the name of Yang Xiong, appointing Yang Su's brother Yang Yue to stay in the capital, and quickly go to the capital to control the soldiers and horses in the capital and control the situation in the capital.

The time gradually came to the third watch, and the exhausted Yang Su, accompanied by several guards, returned to his own building at the foot of the mountain, and walked to the door, but Yang Su saw his eldest son Xuan Gan standing at the door waiting.

"Xuangan, why don't you go to rest yet?"

Yang Xuangan also participated in Yang Ye's enthronement in the evening, and he had learned about the coup d'état from his father.

Yang Xuangan had been down the mountain for a while, and when he was waiting for his father to come back, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, "I have something on my mind, and I can't sleep." ”

Yang Su nodded, "Let's go into the house and talk!"

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 offered it to him with both hands.

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

Nineteen years after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Xuangan was named a general because of his father's merits, and several of his younger brothers were also named Shangyitong, Yang Xuangan was also regarded as an important minister of the imperial court, he frowned, and said in a low voice: "I saw my father and Yuwenshu arguing just now, why?"

"Nothing serious. ”

Yang Su smiled faintly and said: "Regarding the disposal of the participants in this coup d'état, Yuwenshu hopes to thoroughly investigate and eradicate them without leakage, but I am worried that the impact will be too much, and I suggest that the saint will not be able to deal with it." ”

"Father, do you think the Holy One will be over?"

Yang Su shook his head ...... "The saint is very scheming, he will not let go of these people, but he will use other excuses to start, anyone who supports the former prince Yang Chao will not be able to escape sooner or later." ”

After a pause, Yang Su said again: "Do you know about Yuanba's escort today?"

"It turned out to be Yuanba!"

Yang Xuan was extremely surprised, and he hurriedly said: "I have heard that Shengshang was rescued by a young officer, but I didn't expect it to be Yuanba, when did he come?"

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

Yang Xuangan showed embarrassment on his face, and he also sighed and said: "It's because I was too cold to him in the past, I didn't care about it since I was a child, and I didn't fulfill my father's duties. ”

"It's you who are prejudiced against him, thinking that he is a concubine, and today the saint also said to me, Yuanba is a heavenly phoenix, and he is the first person in my generation, do you understand how much the saint values him?"

Yang Xuangan also felt a little remorse in his heart, and he was ashamed: "I also want to redeem it, but I don't know if there is a chance?"

Yang Su patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile: "After all, you are father and son, no one can replace the blood and family relationship, as long as you treat him with your heart, he will naturally recognize you as a father, in addition, the matter of Yuanba's escort, the saint strictly prohibits the spread of it, you and I just know......"

Yang Xuangan nodded silently, he decided to take a moment to take Yuanba to the Hongnong Ancestor to have a look.

Yang Yuanba did not attend Yang Ye's enthronement ceremony, and he was not qualified to be listed in the palace with his current military position as a general, so he left Renshou Palace that afternoon and returned to the capital.

At noon the next day, Yang Yuanba arrived in Chang'an, although he no longer wanted to save Yang Ye, but he was never happy, and he was depressed all the way.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the major wine stores in the city were full of customers, and the business was booming, Yang Yuanba walked to a wine store called 'Sanxian Restaurant', and a guy greeted him warmly.

"The military master's shop has freshly slaughtered mutton venison, a foot-long crucian carp, and a good stuffed milk wine. ”

Yang Yuanba frowned, "Are there any other wines?"

"There is Lang Guanqing in the capital, and there is peach wine in the Western Regions. ”

Pu Tao wine is the later wine, at this time has not been introduced to the mainland on a large scale, only some merchants from the Western Regions brought it, the price is expensive, Yang Yuanba has only drunk sugarcane wine and dragon paste wine and the like, and has never drunk Pu Tao wine, so he nodded, "Find me a seat by the window." ”

"Okay! Master Jun, please upstairs, one by the window on the second floor!"

Yang Yuanba carried his lance and horse bag, handed the horse to the man, and took out a handful of money to reward the man, and the man led the horse with great gratitude.

Yang Yuanba walked up to the second floor by himself, there were more than 20 couches on the second floor, full of guests, the voices of the people were boiling, quite lively, most of them were Xi Zi wearing robes, wearing gauze hats or hats, taking off their shoes and sitting on the couch, there were also women wearing hats, and a few music girls, sitting by the wall with musical instruments in their arms, waiting for the call.

There are two separate private rooms next to it, one of which has five or six big men standing at the door, majestic, it seems that there is a big family eating, and another man leads him to a small couch by the window, there is a table on the couch, the couch is not wide, only three or four people can sit, behind it is the private room, and there is a faint voice of talking inside.

"Master Jun, there is no one here, so you can sit here!"

Yang Yuanba nodded, sat down by the window, put his horse lance aside, and said to the guy: "A pot of peach wine, three Hu cakes, three catties of mutton with sauce, that's all." ”

"Guest, please wait, come right away. ”

After a while, a maid brought a wine jug, Pu Tao wine is very expensive, this pot of wine costs ten hanging money, after a bloody battle, Yang Yuanba needs to treat himself with good wine, he poured a glass again, and couldn't help but think of the fierce battle that happened yesterday, just like a dream, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and drank the wine all in one go.

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

Yang Yuanba turned around and saw a boy standing next to him, who was six or seven years old, with a strong figure and a handsome appearance, wearing a white satin brocade robe, wearing a small gold crown on his head, and black leather boots on his feet.

Yang Yuanba's horse lance is covered with a leather bag, only the lance is exposed, and ordinary people can't see it, but this little boy has a lot of eyesight.

Yang Yuanba smiled and said, "How can you tell that this is a horse lance?"

"My master also has one, but it is thinner and shorter than yours. ”

As the little boy spoke, he reached out to take the horse lance, and Yang Yuanba did not stop him, he could see that the little boy had begun to build the foundation, but in any case, he could not hold his horse lance.

"Erlang!"

A stern reprimand suddenly came from behind him, "Daddy told you that you are not allowed to mess with other people's things!"

As soon as Yang Yuanba turned around, he saw that it was a guest in the private room next door, a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in official clothes, wearing a gauze hat on his head, and three strands of black beard under his chin.

The little boy was obviously very afraid of his father, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move Yang Yuanba's lance again, and the man stepped forward and bowed his hand to Yang Yuanba and apologized: "The dog is rude, please forgive this general!"

"It's okay!"

Yang Yuanba patted the little boy's sturdy little shoulder and said with a smile: "Although Ling Lang is young, he is vigorous, I like it very much." ”

He asked the boy again, "Who is your master?"

"My master is the eldest grandson, do you know him?"

Yang Yuanba suddenly realized, it turned out to be the apprentice of the long lance, no wonder he could know his own horse lance, so he took off the holster on the long lance with a smile, "You are right, this is indeed a horse lance, different from ordinary horse lance." ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the lance, then glanced at Yang Yuanba, and asked hesitantly, "Are you...... Who is General Yukura?"

This lance was given to him by Yujuluo, it turned out that this person had seen it, Yang Yuanba got up and saluted and said with a smile: "He is my master and my top boss, may I ask your Excellency's surname?"

"I'm Li Yuan, the assassin of Longzhou, didn't your master tell you?"

"Li Yuan!" how could Yuan Ba not be surprised, this person in front of him was Tang Gaozu, who had created the three hundred years of prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! But after a while, Yuan Ba quickly put away his shock.

At this time, Yuan Ba already knew that if he was Li Yuan, then the tiger child in front of him was......
