At the steps in front of the Yueguo Duke's Mansion in Pingkangfang, He Ruobi was walking back and forth in the wind and snow with his hands behind his back. He had already figured out how his second son He Ruohuailiang and Yang Ji had a bad relationship. In the final analysis, it was his son who saw sex. Get interested.
Although He Ruohuailiang had a lot of maids like him, he had not married yet. The reason was that He Ruobi also wanted to find a well-matched lady for his second son. At first, he set his sights on the royal family. However, everyone in the royal family is a smart person, and they all know that although He Ruobi is extremely valuable, with his narrow-mindedness, vindictive character, and nouveau riche style of making enemies everywhere, I am afraid that the He Ruobi family will not be rich for long, so they are not willing to give up their wealth. The daughter married into the He Ruo family, and the rest of the nobles had similar thoughts.
Later, when He Ruobi heard that Gao Lingchu, the daughter of Gao Jun, had grown up, he went to propose marriage in person, hoping that he could marry Gao Jun, but Gao Jun also refused.
He Ruobi, who was just as worried as Dugu Min, had no limits. He gave full play to his scoundrel side in the Gao family. When he was not good enough, he encouraged his son to pester Gao Ling.
If it is better to cook cooked rice from raw rice, the most he will get is a beating, but where else can Gao Ling run? Gao Jiong could only hold his nose and admit it no matter how unwilling he was. If you get a good wife after a severe beating, will you still suffer a loss?
He Ruohuailiang also knew that if he became Gao Ling's son-in-law, he would have less to struggle for more than ten years in the future, so he followed his father's plan and appeared as a flower protector whenever Gao Ling went out. He Ruohuailiang heard today that Yang Lun was hosting a banquet at Furong Tower and invited powerful people to bring their wives to attend, so he waited near Furong Garden. When Gao Ling appeared, he pestered him again.
Gao Ling was upset because Prince Wei refused to marry him, and he felt that Gao's initiative to ask Princess Leping to propose marriage was a 'gift' to the dandy king. However, Prince Wei's reply confused her, followed by endless embarrassment. When she heard that "Yang Ji said everywhere that she wasn't", she became furious and wanted to ask him what he meant. But as a girl, she couldn't stop a man on the street. When she saw He Ruohuailiang, a nasty guy, following him closely, she asked him to help stop him.
When He Ruohuailiang saw that the beauty had ignored him for many years and suddenly asked him to do something, he immediately went to stop Yang Ji with great enthusiasm. He thought that the other party would give him some face, but he never expected that Yang Ji would start a fight if he disagreed with her. After all, he was also doing great harm, how could he lose face in front of his subordinates? So he disobeyed Yang Ji's threats and was eventually castrated.
After He Ruobi, who came back from Furong Tower, understood the reason, he knew that he could not afford to offend the unreasonable Yang Ji, so he immediately went to find Gao Jiong, but Gao Jiong rejected him. In desperation, he shamelessly came to see his cousin Yang Su, whom he had been strangers to for nearly twenty years.
Just when He Ruobi thought that Yang Su was also behind closed doors, the side door opened wide and a man in his thirties strode out.
This man had a majestic physique, a plump sky, thick eyebrows dyed with ink, and a brocade robe could not hide his extraordinary heroic spirit. He strode towards He Ruobi, bowed and saluted: "Junior Yang Xuangan comes to see the Duke of Song Dynasty."
Yang Xuangan was the eldest son of Yang Su. He loved reading, riding and shooting, and was brave enough to do anything. People at the time compared him to Xiang Yu. Although he had no hard work, because his father Yang Su had outstanding achievements and had no titles, Yang Jian assigned him to him. The military merits of the establishment were assigned to his son, and therefore, Yang Xuangan was awarded the post of Zhuguo. He and his father Yang Su were both second-rank officials. When they went to court to pay homage to the emperor, father and son were in the same row. Yang Xuangan, who felt that something was wrong, later took the initiative to resign in order to show his son's respect for his father. Yang Jian did as he wished and demoted his official rank by one level, but Yang also gained favor for it.
The appearance of the prince of Yue State also gave He Ruobi some face at this time, and he felt that Yang Su, his cousin, did not neglect him. However, Yang Xuangan's title of 'Song Guogong' made his heart cold. He had originally hoped that his cousin Yang Su would support him, but Yang Xuangan's politeness, which was so repulsive to others, also indirectly showed Yang Su's attitude.
At this point, He Ruobi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Is your father here?"
"Back to Mr. Song, my father is waiting for you in the main hall." Yang Xuangan bowed his hands and said, "Please."
"Please, my dear nephew." He Ruobi forced a smile. If Yang Xuangan had asked him to go through the side door before, he would have been furious and might have slapped Yang Xuangan. But at this time, there was no one to ask for, so he had to swallow his anger and walk away in a "condescending" manner. Enter the mansion.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the main hall, and Yang Su had been waiting at the entrance of the front hall for a long time.
"Song Gong's visit to this humble abode is truly a blessing! Please." Yang Su was the same age as He Ruobi. He was tall and thin, with slender hands and feet, and a majestic appearance. He was like a very ordinary old Confucian. If he were He put on a scholar's uniform and went to hang out in the crowded market. I'm afraid no one would recognize him as Yang Su, the Duke of Yue and Minister Zuopushe.
He Ruobi's face heated up and he returned the courtesy: "Please help me, Mr. Yue."
"Let's talk after we go in!" This is the power of Yang Su going out to greet him.
Yang Su knew immediately about Yang Ji's castration of He Ruohuailiang, and he also guessed He Ruobi's intention. Regardless of whether he would help or not, he must first leave room for rejection for himself; but he knew that once He Ruobi came, When he sees himself, he will definitely focus on the topic. To avoid embarrassment, he goes out to greet him. At this time, he used the excuse that it was not convenient to speak outside and avoided He Ruobi's request in a smooth manner. After arriving inside, He Ruobi also thought that he knew the purpose of his visit, and then discussed the matter without asking again. He Ruobi, who punched the cotton, did not realize this and naturally followed Yang Su into the main hall.
"Song Gong, please sit down." Yang Su winked at his son. Yang Xuangan bowed and retreated. Only Yang Su and He Ruobi were left in the empty main hall.
Yang Su asked someone to pour him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "This is a new tea soup that came from the palace. This fresh and timeless tea soup is twice as elegant as the previous sencha tea with various flavors. After the bitterness, it is sweet. It's mellow, plain yet pure, just like life."
He Ruobi picked up the white porcelain tea cup and swallowed the tea with water in one gulp. Without waiting for Yang Su to ask, he said: "Yue Gong, my son Huai Liang was beaten into a cripple by Yang Ji's puppy today, and I myself was also in front of everyone." I was so humiliated that I really couldn’t swallow it, so I asked Duke Yue for advice... You don’t know that Yang Ji is a puppy..."
He Ruobi kept talking for a long time, and the fault was all on the arrogant and domineering Yang Ji. This also made Yang Su, who knew the truth, lose the patience to listen, and interrupted rudely: "Song Gong is half right, and Ling Gongzi is not right either." The fault is that the female young master of the Gao family took advantage of Young Master Ling, the fault is that Young Master Ling’s followers did not dissuade him, the fault is that Yang Ji is ruthless and vicious, the fault is that Duke Qi is ruthless...Am I right?"
"Huh?" He Ruobi's eyes widened, as if this was really the case, but what he said seemed a bit too arrogant.
"Only Zongzheng Temple can cure King Wei. I suggest Song Gong go find a saint." In Yang Su's view, He Ruohuailiang fully deserved his punishment. Not to mention that it was related to Yang Ji, who was most trusted by the emperor, and even if it had nothing to do with it, He Ruohuailiang was not willing to take care of it.
The most important thing is that He Ruobi is a completely ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
He is where he is today, on the one hand, he risked his life and fought hard, and on the other hand, Yang Su silently helped him.
If not, it is unclear whether the arrogant He Ruobi could survive to this day, and how could he succeed in the Sui Dynasty where there were so many powerful generals? However, when he rose to prominence, he began to look down on Gao Jiong, who admired him, and Yang Su, who supported him. It would have been fine if he had not said it out loud, but he chose to do so in public and repeatedly treated Gao Jiong and Yang Su, who were kind to him. Su denounced as worthless.
Now that I'm in trouble, I beg to come to my door eagerly. What do I think Yang Su is?
If it wasn't for the purpose of seeing if He Ruobi had made any progress, he wouldn't even bother to see him. Now I see that he has not made any progress at all, and has lost his patience in talking.
He Ruobi's face darkened and he sneered: "How can a saint still remember my achievements?"
"Actually, you can go to the prince and ask him to come forward to resolve this grudge." Yang Su finally gave him a clear path.
"Prince? I only recognize Prince Yang Yong!" He Ruobi glanced at Yang Su and said bitterly: "Yang Ji has always been close to Yang Guang. I guess Yang Ji hurt my son because Yang Guang tacitly approved it. "Yue Gong, is there any other way besides the sage and Yang Guang?"
Yang Su was completely speechless towards He Ruobi. Didn't this guy know that he and Yang Ji were accomplices? Before Yang Guang ascended the throne, how could everyone have internal strife?
He shook his head and said: "Since the death of the queen, the saint has no interest in state affairs, and even has the intention to give the Zen throne to the prince. Once the prince ascends the throne, King Wei will be the second King Wei Zhao. I advise Song Gong to endure it. , with how favored King Wei is, you can’t afford to offend him.”
Yang Su's kind words felt particularly harsh to He Ruobi. He stood up and said coldly: "Do you think Yang Guang can ascend the throne with the support of you and Yang Jian?"
"What did you say?" Yang Su was shocked, staring at He Ruobi like a hawk.
"Nothing!" He Ruobi changed the subject with a twinkling look, "According to Duke Yue's wishes, can I only find the saint and the prince?"
Yang Su stared at him for a long time, nodded slowly and said, "How can you know if you don't try it?"
"Thank you Mr. Yue for your advice, then I won't disturb your rest! Farewell." He Ruobi cupped his fists and saluted, then left in a hurry.
Yang Su looked at the back of He Ruobi who was almost running away in silence. He Ruobi's angry gaffe made Yang Su keenly aware that a storm was brewing.
"Father!" After a while, Yang Xuangan, who was seeing off He Ruobi, stepped inside and saluted, "My son has sent Duke Song off."
"I'm going to see the prince." Yang Su stood up suddenly and ordered: "Send some people to keep an eye on He Ruobi, and record everyone he sees. In addition, send a team of Tianxiang guards to keep an eye on He Ruobi." Wang Yangji, if you find someone intending to assassinate, alert him immediately; if necessary, provide help immediately."
After hearing He Ruobi's gaffe, Yang Su felt a sense of crisis. If Yang Ji died, Yang Guang would be missing a firm and powerful helper, which would not be of any benefit to Yang Su. Now that people are secretly helping Yang Ji, they are actually helping. Own.
"My child obeys your orders." Yang Xuangan didn't ask any further questions and turned around to make arrangements.
