Volume 1 begins with the Wrath of Heruo
Night fell quietly, Pingkang Mansion He Ruofu was still a mess in front of it, the severed halberd was lying on the ground, the eldest son He Ruosheng ordered not to clean up, and surrounded the broken halberd with a white cloth, today He Ruofu was slapped in the face, and his brother He Ruojin was seriously injured, he couldn't swallow this breath anyway.
As soon as the sky was dark, a gorgeous carriage was escorted by more than 20 knights, slowly drove into Pingkangfang, a lantern was hung on the carriage, in the dark night, the orange light was particularly eye-catching, and there were three black characters on the lantern - 'Song Guogong', Song Guogong was He Ruobi's title, and this carriage was He Ruobi's homecoming.
He Ruobi had been dismissed from his official position in the Gao Xi case in the 19th year of the Jianyuan Dynasty, but Yang Xiong still treated him favorably, retaining his title of Duke of Song and the Lord of Shangzhu, and retaining his 3,000 food estates, so that he still had a high status in the Tianwu Dynasty.
This time Yang Xiong was seriously ill, He Ruobi went to Renshou Palace a month ago, but he didn't stay there all the time, during which he would go home for two days, enjoy his wife and concubine, and then go back to Renshou Palace, today he missed his concubine and just went home.
Not long after the carriage entered Pingkangfang, it suddenly stopped, with intuition, He Ruobi felt that he had not arrived in front of the house, how could it stop?
"What's the matter?" he asked, a little displeased.
"General, there seems to be something abnormal in front of the mansion!"
"What anomaly?"
He Ruobi was very unhappy and impatient in his heart, he was already a little impatient about the wonderful ** of several concubines, what happened at this time?
"General, you'd better take a look!" the guard's voice was a little nervous.
He Ruobi looked in front of the mansion gate, his eyes that were originally slitted suddenly widened, his mouth opened unconsciously, and his face showed an incredible expression, the halberds of his mansion gate actually fell to the ground, and all of them were broken, and the two halberds also fell to the ground, dilapidated like two women who fell into a bandit's den.
He Ruobi pushed the car door and strode down, walked around in front of the mansion gate, when he saw the arrow nailed to the door, and the plaque of the Song Guogong Mansion folded into two sections, leaning alone against the door, his eyes began to burn with rage, no matter what the reason, what the reason, he was so humiliated, it was really unbearable.
"What the hell is going on?" He Ruobi burst into flames.
At this time, the door of the house opened, and his eldest son Sheng and his third son ran out when they heard the news, and they knelt in front of their father and cried loudly, "Father, if you had come back two hours earlier, you would not have done this!"
"Don't cry, what's going on?, what's going on?" He Ruobi found that the second son Jin was not there, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Father, He Ruofu was humiliated, it was Yang Su's grandson who did it!"
"Yang Su!"
He Ruobi was stunned, he was Yang Su's brother-in-law, how could Yang Su's grandson come to smash the door of his mansion? Could there be any reason for this, He Ruobi was sixty years old after all, and he was no longer as hot as when he was young, and he began to feel that this was not so simple.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
He Ruosheng wiped away his tears and said, "Does my father remember the incident entrusted by my aunt for four years?"
"What is it?" He Ruobi asked confusedly.
Next to him, He Ruoju said: "At that time, my aunt asked us to clean up Yang Su's grandson's nurse, and later we reported to our father, and then my father went to Yang Su to apologize, but was turned away, father, remember?"
He Ruobi remembered a little, there was such an incident four years ago, his sister He Ruoyun Niang let her three sons be angry for her, burned Yang Sushu's grandson's house, and the second child also injured the nurse, this incident was very serious later, Yun Niang was also suspended, and finally led to the confrontation between him and Yang Su, he always thought that Yang Su was playing on the topic, and wanted to draw a line with himself.
"Jin'er!"
He Ruobi was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly reacted, "Second child, what about others?"
"Father, the second brother was seriously injured and almost died!"
He Ruobi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he rushed towards the mansion like crazy, "Jin'er!"
On the bed, He Ruojin had just woken up, wrapped like a zongzi, one arm was gone, one thigh bone was broken, there was a deep blood mark at the bottom of his chin, his breath was weak, and his eyes were full of despair.
"Father....dear!" his voice was so low that he could barely hear it.
He Ruobi likes this second son the most, when the second son was born, He Ruobi dreamed of flowers, so he named him Jin, hoping that he could inherit his mantle, and he was also the most loved since he was a child, at this moment, he saw that his son was seriously injured Ruosi and had become a waste, He Ruobi's teeth were clenched, his fists were pinched so that his knuckles were white, and his eyes were no longer angry, but a deep hatred.
"Father, the second brother called you. He Ruosheng reminded his father in a low voice.
He Ruobi hurriedly lowered his head and put his ear to his son's mouth, "What do you want to say to your father?"
"Give me....revenge!" He Ruojin spat out these four words with difficulty.
He Ruobi nodded heavily, and said word by word: "Don't worry, I will use Yang Yuanba's head to make a urinal for you!"
.......
In the room, He Ruobi walked briskly back and forth with his hands behind his back, at this time he had no heart to find a concubine to make love, the plaque at the gate that was broken in half pierced his heart like a needle, if it was an ordinary person, he would have come to the door to ask the teacher for guilt, but the other party was Yang Su's grandson.
He knew that Yang Yuanba, five years ago, was deeply appreciated by the saint, gave the sword and gold scales, and then won the Turkic king's flag twice on the battlefield, this kind of heroic deeds have long been spread in the army, and he is Yang Su's proudest grandson, despite this, he He Ruobi is not afraid of the juniors in this army, the key is Yang Su, with Yang Su's wrist and status, it is not he He Ruobi can afford to provoke.
And he doesn't know, Yang Yuanba's provocation has not been tacitly approved by Yang Su, if Yang Su doesn't know, he can ask Yang Su to comment, if Yang Su has agreed in advance, then the matter is not so simple, will there be any deeper schemes hidden in this?
He Ruobi's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time, and in the end he had to hate and say to himself: "Okay, find a sensible person." ”
He also instructed his eldest son, "Tidy up the door, and make no more shame." ”
He understood what his son meant, and kept those humiliations as they were, just to let the emperor judge, but the emperor was dying, who would care about such a bad thing in his family, He Ruobi let out a long sigh, how could it be so unfortunate?
........
Yang Xiong was critically ill, and almost all the ministers in Beijing and the retired ministers rushed to Renshou Palace, but there was still an old minister who did not go, this person was the first minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, Gao Xi, if the first minister of the founding of the country was used to describe Gao Xi, it is not an exaggeration, Yang Su, Han Baohu, He Ruobi and others are recommended by Gao Xi.
In the nineteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Xiong had decided to abolish the crown prince Yang Chao, he first eradicated Yang Chao's wings, Gao Xi bore the brunt, he and Yang Chao were sons and daughters, and were the most staunch supporters of the prince Yang Chao.
Five years have passed, Gao Gong has been as calm as water, reading books at home, occasionally going to the street to drink two glasses in the wine shop, listening to the voice of the people, life is also dull, his mother warned him, he has been a very human minister, and then go up is to turn around, he deeply thinks, at this time he is unofficial and light, only feel that the disaster has been taken off.
In the study, Gao Gong is talking to his son Cousin, Gao Biaoren is Gao Xi's third son, and his wife is the daughter of the former prince Yang Chao, who is also Gao Gong's favorite son.
Gao Biaoren wanted to persuade his father to go to Renshou Palace to say goodbye to the saint at the end, but he was rejected by his father, which made him deeply frustrated, and he wanted to persuade him again, but Gao Xi waved his hand to stop him, "I am determined not to go to Renshou Palace, don't persuade me again." ”
Gao Xi understands better than anyone else in his heart that although he has passed the first level of Yang Jian, he has not passed the first level of the crown prince Yang Ye, if he shows up again and Yang Ye ascends the throne, the first thing is to kill him.
"If you have time these days, buy those books for me, and I will give you the list. ”
"Yes!" the child understood. ”
Gao Biaoren had no choice but to leave, he was just about to speak, but the butler's voice came from the door, "Master, General He Ruo is here, and I have something urgent to see my lord." ”
