Chapter 19 Severe Warning

As night fell, Yang Yuanqing and his wife said goodbye and left, but the Pei family did not try to keep them. Today is Yang Yuanqing's first day back, so the couple naturally had endless things to say. Pei You also knew the tactful stay in Pei's mansion and did not follow them back. "　"

With Yang Yuanqing's departure, the tension in Pei Ju's study gradually dissipated. The two Pei family giants finally reached a compromise. They took two steps and first used Pei Yun's plan to support Yang Yuanqing behind the scenes. The Pei family did not come forward. Once the Guanlong forces expand the attack and targeted the Shandong gentry, the Pei family will be responsible for it.

In the carriage, Pei Minqiu finally snuggled in her husband's arms as she wished, but she did not disturb Yang Yuanqing's thinking. She knew that her husband was considering important things. As long as she could snuggle in her husband's arms and feel his broad chest and the warmth that made her extremely dependent, she would be satisfied.

Yang Yuanqing leaned against the cushion and gently hugged Minqiu in his arms. The light in the car was dim. He stared at the pedestrians outside the window, and his thoughts were still slowly moving on the road of political struggle.

Although Pei Ju and Pei Yun both believed that it was not Li Yuan, their intuition told Yang Yuanqing that the prophecy must have been emitted by Li Yuan, in order to provoke a direct conflict with him and Yuanshou and deepen his hatred with Yuanshou.

No one knows that he and Li Yuan had secretly fought in the Yuan Shangying case, but they both knew in their hearts that Li Yuan was disguised as he was, so how could he stand by and watch? More importantly, if Li Yuan was really a loyal and timid person, how could he become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

It is easy to avoid open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Yang Yuanqing is not afraid of the struggle with Yuan, but he is a little worried that the hidden arrows shot from Li Yuan and the cold arrows shot by people wearing loyal and honest robes will be unpredictable. He must give Li Yuan a harsh warning.

In fact, the Guanlong nobles may not be a bad thing to deal with him. He can take the opportunity to unite the Shandong gentry with him. This is an opportunity.

"Husband, is the matter serious?"

Pei Minqiu felt that the muscles on her husband were tense, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, "I think you seem a little nervous. The temple."

Yang Yuanqing relaxed his body. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to his wife, so he lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, and smiled in her ear: "I'm not nervous. I'm thinking about what name to give our children in the future?"

Pei Minqiu smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Husband is thinking about naming the child now, it's too early!"

"It's not too early, won't it happen tonight?"

Pei Minqiu then understood what he meant. He was very embarrassed and struggled to sit up. However, Yang Yuanqing held her firmly in his arms and teased in a low voice: "Don't you want to have your own baby?"

Pei Minqiu was hugged by him. Although she was shy, a sweet feeling surged in her heart. She shyly buried her head in her husband's arms, and a white and fat baby appeared in her mind, and her eyes gradually became brighter.

In the northwest corner of Zhengpingfang, there is a house covering an area of ​​15 or 6 acres. This is Li Yuan’s mansion. Like other Guanlong nobles, Li Yuan’s ancestor Li Hu was also a garrison army in the six towns. He was a Hu Hua Han. As the conflicts between Hu and Han within the Northern Wei Dynasty broke out, some military nobles representing the interests of the Xianbei Hu people instigated soldiers in the six towns to launch an uprising. Finally, they were suppressed by the Tuoba family, who was transformed into the Northern Wei Dynasty, with the sword Rouran army.

Hundreds of thousands of Hu people and Hu Hua Han people in Six Towns were escorted to the Central Plains to be resettled, most of which were placed in Hedong, Hebei. Later, Gao Huan's Northern Qi power was formed, while the garrisons and family members of the Wuchuan Town in the six towns were placed in the Guanlong area. The backbone of them gradually gathered around Yuwen Tai and formed the Guanlong power. This is the origin of the Guanlong nobles and why so many famous officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were from Wuchuan.

With the rise of Yuwen Tai, Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu also appeared on the political stage and was one of the eight pillars of Guanlong. According to Yuwen Tai's request to return to Guanlong, Li Hu sent a place to Longxi and became a descendant of the famous Li family in Longxi.

Although Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu had a high status, because his father Li Bing died young, he could not catch up with the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. In the first year of Kaihuang, Li Yuan was only sixteen years old. Their family was unable to seize the opportunity in the tide of the Zhou Dynasty in the Great Sui Dynasty and did not receive the dividends of the Sui Dynasty. The Li family quickly declined. (　　　)

Although Yang Jian was nostalgic and still named Li Yuan Duke Tang, among the various families of Guanlong Group, the Li Yuan family could only rank at the bottom and became an inconspicuous small force.

Li Yuan had always been a name for loyalty and cautious and timid. His personality was first taken by Yang Guang, who was determined to suppress the nobles of Guanlong, and he was attacked by him. He was repeatedly demoted. He gradually became demoted from the wealthy Longxi and Xingyang prefect to the bitter and poor border land of Loufan Prefect. If he had not made contributions to the Fenyang Palace this time, he would not have had a chance to make a comeback.

In history, Yang Guang was confused by Li Yuan's cowardly and timid disguised character, and believed that he would not rebel, and he entrusted him with the right to use it.

The night was getting deeper and Li Yuan was sitting in the study reading. He seemed a little restless. It was not a prophecy. He believed that no one would have thought that Yang Yuanqing's prophecy was done by him. He was for the meeting in Yuanshou's mansion this afternoon. Yuanshou actually asked him to impeach Yang Yuanqing's killing of Yuan Shangying. Yuanshou's reasons were indeed very sufficient. He knew the most about this matter. It was the most convincing to impeach him. However, Li Yuan did not want to bear this head, which would not only cause trouble, but Yuan Shangying was once the confidant guard of the King of Qi. Who knew whether he had anything to do with the deposed King of Qi? If it was implicated in the King of Qi, his career would be in danger.

Li Yuan was worried and was thinking about how to avoid this matter, neither having to show up in public nor offend other Guanlong families.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside, and the butler reported in a panic: "Master, go out and have a look. Something happened at the gate!"

Li Yuan was startled and hurriedly got up and walked out. When he walked to the door, a cold wind blew, which made him shudder. Then he realized that it was autumn and winter, and he was only wearing a thin inner robe. He was about to go back to the house to get dressed, but his thoughts suddenly moved, and he didn't care about getting dressed and hurried out to the door of the mansion.

More than a dozen family members had gathered on the steps at the gate. The eldest son Jiancheng, the second son Shimin and his nephews all rushed over after hearing the news. The concierge was saying something to them.

"I heard someone calling the master's name in the dark night, asking him to take an arrow, and then heard a 'click' sound. I opened the door and saw that this was not good."

Li Yuan walked out of the gate quickly. When he saw everyone looking up at the door of the mansion, he looked up and was shocked. He saw an arrow inserted on the plaque of the "Duke of Tang Mansion" and it happened to be inserted into the word "Tang". There seemed to be a letter on the arrow shaft.

"Quick! Take it off quickly!" Li Yuan shouted anxiously.

Several family members brought the ladder, "I'll do it!" Li Shimin climbed up the ladder, pulled the arrow from the plaque, and handed it to his father. Li Yuan opened the letter in a hurry. Suddenly, his body became stiff, his face turned pale, and his hands were trembling slightly. Li Jiancheng stood behind his father, and with the faint light of the lantern on the gate, he also saw the contents of the letter clearly. He was also shocked. There were also a few prophecies on the letter.

‘The Eighteen Sons of the East China Sea, Longxi sent their ancestral homes, wearing Yang Sui robes, and calling Li Chaoqiu.’

Li Jiancheng was shocked to his feet and his hands were cold. Suddenly, Li Yuan shook his body and fell head-on and rolled down the steps, scaring the Li family's children all in a hurry. Li Jiancheng ran down to help his father up and shouted: "Father, father! How are you?"

All the children gathered up, and Li Shimin ran back to the inner house to report the message to his mother. The housekeeper was about to invite a doctor. Just when everyone was in a panic, Li Jiancheng felt his father pinch him gently. He was stunned, but immediately reacted and shouted: "Don't rush to ask the doctor for now, carry my father back!"

The next morning, Li Jiancheng was entrusted by his father and asked for leave from the Ministry of Personnel. His father suffered from wind and cold at night and his chronic illness relapsed. He asked for leave for ten days.

At the same time when Li Yuan was warned, in the Lonely Mansion, the head of the family Dugu Zhen was receiving a heavyweight guest, the inner historian Ling Yuanshou.

Among the Guanlong nobles, the Dugu family and the Yuan family have the same high status. Both families are leaders of the Guanlong nobles. In terms of economic strength, the Dugu family is even better. If the Yuan family wants to join forces with the Guanlong forces to deal with Yang Yuanqing and even the Shandong gentry, he will not be able to avoid the Dugu family.

The relationship between the Yuan family and the Dugu family has always been very good, and they have been married for generations. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, due to the Dugu family, Dugu family became the largest relative of the Sui Dynasty and took good care of the Yuan family. At least the relationship between the two major families before Yang Guang ascended the throne was solid, but with Yang Guang ascending the throne, a rift began to occur between the two families.

Especially in the He Ruobi case, the real mastermind Dugu Luo was released, and the second mastermind Dugu Jin was only sentenced to death, saving his reputation and title. However, Yuan Zhou, who was accidentally involved, became the mastermind and was destroyed, which made Yuan family feel a little dissatisfied with Dugu family, including Yuanshou's second son Yuan Shangjun, who should have married the daughter of the Dugu family, but was dismissed by Yuanshou's excuse of the inconsistent eight characters.

Although the relationship between the two families was rifted, it was still good on the surface. For example, when Yuanshou came to visit, Dugu Zhen went out to greet him in person, and the two of them were in love and were as close as usual.

Yuanshou's purpose was very clear, which was to hope that the Dugu family would also participate in dealing with Yang Yuanqing and the Shandong gentry. Of course, he also knew that he could not command the Dugu family and was not allowed to make great profits, and the Dugu family would not participate.

"If we can attack the Pei family this time, if one of the Pei family officials is brought down, we will support the Dugu family into the cabinet." Yuanshou said carefully.

Dugu Zhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Who did Yuanshou think he was and could dominate the composition of the prime minister? Even if he killed one of the two ministers of the Pei family, the quota of the prime minister would still belong to the Shandong gentry. It was not their turn to Guanlong nobles. He took it ten thousand steps back and said that even if this quota belonged to Guanlong nobles, would he definitely give it to Dugu? Yuanshou was too presumptuous.

Although he thought this in his heart, Dugu Zhen did not show his face and smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter whether he is a prime minister or not. If all the families of Guanlong nobles agreed unanimously, the Dugu family would not be able to survive alone. Brother Changshou, please rest assured. Although the Dugu family is small and has no talent available, at least we will support it in terms of financial resources and take half of the money and materials needed by the Dugu family."

Yuanshou smiled bitterly in his heart. If he wanted money, the Yuan family also had it. In fact, Dugu Zhen meant that he did not want to participate and stayed out of the matter. But if the Dugu family did not participate, other families would inevitably retreat, resulting in the last scattered sand. This is something that Yuanshou would never see. In any case, he would bring the Dugu family in.

Yuanshou also knew that the promises of the prime minister were not reliable, and the Dugu family did not take the general interests seriously, but there was something that Dugu family must be interested in.
