Chapter 22 Psychological poisonous arrows

As soon as the sky was getting dark, carriages were parked in front of Yuanshou's mansion one after another. Today is the birthday of Yuanshou's wife Hou Mo Chen. Yuanshou was going to celebrate it in a small way. More than 30 invitations were sent to invite more than 30 important Guanlong nobles.

At the gate, Yuanshou's brother Yuan Su and his eldest son Yuan Shangwu were greeting the guests. At this time, a carriage stopped, and a lantern was hung on the shaft with the words "Dou Mansion" written on it. This should be Dou Kang coming, and Yuan Su hurriedly greeted him.

Dou Kang and Yuanshou clan brother, Yuan Hongsi, the current Youzhou chief supervisor, had a very good relationship and was also an important Guanlong family that Yuanshou placed hopes. Unexpectedly, a young man about 27 or 28 years old walked out of the car. Yuan Su was stunned. Didn’t he say that Dou Kang would come in person? Why did he become his eldest son Dou Yan?

Since Dou Kang, the former Youzhou general manager, was arrested for being arrested for rebellion, he has been idle at home, waiting for the opportunity to resign. He originally wanted to come to the door tonight, but he changed his mind temporarily and asked his eldest son Dou Yan to come for him.

Dou Yan bowed and smiled, "My father was going to come, but when he went out, his ankle twisted and the pain was unbearable. He had to ask me to come to celebrate his birthday. If you are rude, please forgive me!"

Yuan Su was extremely disappointed, but he had no choice. At this time, another carriage also arrived, and Yuan Shangwu greeted him. It was coincidental that Li Jiancheng came on behalf of his father.

"My father is seriously ill and cannot come. I specially ordered me to give me a gift, which is not worthy of respect."

Yuan Su glanced at Li Jiancheng, and his contempt expression was fully revealed. Of course, he knew that Li Yuan was pretending to be sick, but he just didn't want to come forward to impeach Yang Yuanqing to kill Yuan Shangwu, a typical cowardly and useless person, and it would be useless if he didn't come.

Yuan Su was too lazy to pay attention to Li Jiancheng. Dou Yan and Li Jiancheng were cousins ​​of the clan. They grew up together since childhood and had a deep friendship. He had already greeted him and smiled and said, "Dalang, if I had known that the carriage behind him would be you, I would wait for you."

Li Jiancheng also smiled and said, "I even leaned my head to call you a few times, but you just couldn't hear it. I thought I hadn't invited you to drink at the beginning of the year, and you were in your heart."

Both of them laughed and walked intimately into the Yuan Mansion with their hands in hand and bypassed the screen wall. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Jiancheng asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that my uncle came here himself? Why didn't you come again?"

Dou Yan looked back and curled his lips disdainfully, "My father said this was the personal revenge between the Yuan family and Yang Yuanqing. Yuanmin was actually broken at noon today. This shows how deep the hatred between them is. My father does not want to participate in the hatred between them, so he will not come."

Li Jiancheng was stunned. Such a consequence occurred when he broke Yuan Min's leg, which surprised him. He hurriedly said: "Didn't he say that he would unite the Guanlong forces to deal with the Shandong gentry?"

"Kangcheng, it's hard to explain this kind of thing. My father originally suspected that this was just an excuse for the Yuan family. It was called dealing with the Shandong gentry, but in fact it was to avenge personal revenge. After the incident at noon, my father didn't believe it. Anyway, the Dou family decided not to participate in this matter. (")"

Li Jiancheng nodded, "It is correct not to participate, but if you participate, you will cause trouble."

The two of them walked as they spoke and walked quickly into the lobby. There were more than twenty people sitting in the lobby, all of which were representatives sent by various families, and some important figures also arrived. Yuanshou was talking with Yu Zhongwen, while Zhang Jin was talking with Yu Wen Kai. The Dugu family sent Changsun Dugu Qi, and the Wei family also came. They were Wei Ji, the son of Wei Xiaokuan, the official servant Shaoqing, and the son of He Lou Zigan, the prefect of Qian'an He Lou Shanzhu, the brother of He Ruobi, the Duke of Wanrong County He Ruodong, etc. Even King Ande Yang Xiong sent his youngest son Yang Shidao to attend.

In name, everyone came to celebrate their birthdays, but in fact they had their own thoughts. Some really wanted to deal with Yang Yuanqing. For example, He Ruodong wanted to cut Yang Yuanqing into pieces.

Some people wanted to deal with the Shandong gentry. The most typical representative was the Jingzhao Wei family. The Wei family mainly emerged because of Wei Xiaokuan. Strictly speaking, it did not belong to the Guanlong nobles, but like the Hongnong Yang family and the Longxi Li family, it belonged to the Guanlong gentry. The Jingzhao Wei family believed that the representatives of the Long gentry among the prime ministers of the cabinet should be related to the Long gentry. If the Hongnong Yang family could not go up, it should be the Jingzhao Wei family. They were dissatisfied with the Wenxi Pei family occupying two positions.

On the other hand, Wei felt deeply guilty about the Yuan family because of the affair between Yuan Shangwu and the King of Qi, so Wei Ji, an important figure in the Wei family, came to participate this time.

But most people hope to take this opportunity to regroup the Guanlong nobles. In recent years, everyone has seen the suppression of the Guanlong nobles. If they don’t fight for it, they will inevitably be dispersed in the end and the Guanlong nobles will completely decline. However, due to the influence of the Yuanmin incident at noon, many people are still suspicious and send their sons to participate and test the truth first.

At this time, Yuanshou saw that everyone was almost here, so he stood up and smiled and said, "Please be quiet, everyone!"

The lobby gradually became quiet, and Yuanshou raised his voice and said, "On the good day, Yuan Mansion welcomes the arrival of various Guanlong families. Today is my wife's birthday, and I also want to take this opportunity to discuss with you the future of Guanlong families."

Yuanshou discussed with Zhang Jin in advance and could not directly say to deal with Yang Yuanqing, as it would make many people disgusted, thinking that the Yuan family was using justice to make private grudges, and could only say to deal with Shandong gentry. In the end, it fell on Yang Yuanqing, and Yang Yuanqing could only be one of the Shandong gentry.

Yuanshou was about to review the glory of the Guanlong nobles first, and at this moment, a butler ran over in a panic, "Master! Master!"

Yuanshou's speech was interrupted. He was extremely annoyed and shouted angrily: "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper stammered: "Yang... Yuanqing is here, tell me... Master apologize!"

There was an uproar in the lobby. Yang Yuanqing actually came to the door and came to apologize. Are you really here to apologize? Yuanshou could not continue. If it were the usual, he would order him to be beaten away by sticks, but now he dare not deal with it hastily. Yuanshou glanced at Zhang Jin, who was his military advisor. Zhang Jin nodded, meaning to deal with Yang Yuanqing's affairs first, otherwise it would arouse unnecessary suspicion. (")

A burst of anger ignited in Yuanshou's heart. Yang Yuanqing broke his son's leg and had the face to apologize. He bowed to everyone, "Please sit down and I'll go."

But whoever is willing to sit here in such a thing? Everyone stood up and went out with Yuanshou. Some people rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "Yang Yuanqing is too bullying, we are unfair to Brother Yuan!"

Li Jiancheng vaguely guessed that Yang Yuanqing's purpose of coming to the door should be to confirm his personal grudges with Yuanshou and to weaken the condensation of the Guanlong nobles, which is similar to his interruption of Yuanmin's leg.

This is an extremely powerful move. Once the conflict between him and Yuanshou becomes a personal grudge between them, then the common hatred of the Guanlong nobles will only become verbal support. No one will really make efforts. Isn’t the He Ruobi case in the past the first?

Li Jiancheng also wanted to know how Yang Yuanqing would provoke him, so he quickly followed him out.

Outside the mansion, Yang Yuanqing was wearing a purple robe of a civil servant, with his hands behind his back and smiling. He was still following two iron guards, Saburo and Silang, and put a sandalwood box on the steps.

Dozens of servants from the Yuan Mansion blocked the gate and stared at Yang Yuanqing fiercely. Yang Yuanqing was calmly holding his hands behind his back, smiling calmly on his face. He had heard the noise of noisy footsteps from the mansion.

The door opened, and the servants spread out to both sides. Yuanshou strode out, followed by a large group of guests who celebrated their birthday.

Yuanshou stared at Yang Yuanqing with cold eyes and asked in an extremely cold voice: "What are you doing?"

Yang Yuanqing bowed and smiled, "Yuan Qing was young and ignorant, and had too many hatreds with the Yuan Mansion. He felt deeply uneasy. He came to apologize to the Yuan Neishi in person, hoping to resolve the personal grudges between us."

Zhang Jin also understood that Yang Yuanqing was provoking and destroying tonight's meeting. With a thought, he simply took the initiative and pretended to reconcile with Yang Yuanqing, which blocked everyone's speculation about his personal grievances with great justice.

Zhang Jin shook two glances at Yuanshou, but Yuanshou ignored him, and he whispered behind him: "You can just make a false reconciliation."

Yuanshou still ignored it, Zhang Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, yes! The younger brother and nephew were not killed, and the son was broken. How could this hatred be resolved? Even if you pretend, you can't do it.

Yuanshou laughed furiously, "Yuanqing, you broke my son's leg at noon and came to reconcile at night. Who are you in the Yuan family? Can you knead the dough man at will?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled faintly, "At noon, the son killed someone first. I just defended myself, and the son also admitted that it was the Yuan family who compiled my prophecy and tried to kill me. I, Yang Yuanqing, had already ignored the Yuan family's assassination of me,......"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Jin interrupted Yang Yuanqing's words, and he walked up and said coldly: "General Yang, those prophecies were not compiled by the Yuan family. That was your plan to deceive Yuanmin into admitting that the so-called state-owned laws, since you found out that it was done by the Yuan family, you should write a memorial to report to the emperor and report to the Yuan family. But you took the beggar to find Yuanmin without authorization. What is this not a trick to lure Yuanmin? You also deliberately interrupted Yuanmin's leg to increase your hatred with the Yuan family."

Zhang Jin turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone should understand that Yang Yuanqing's intention is to make everyone think that the Yuan family and him are private enemies, so as to provoke the unity between our Guanlong nobles."

"Zhangshu Zhang, you were wrong, you were really wrong!"

Yang Yuanqing still looked at Zhang Jin with a very cold tone, shook his head, and bowed to everyone: "Dear ministers, I, Yang Yuanqing, are a soldier, and I pay attention to the distinction between grudges and grudges. I don't like the intriguing secret struggles like civil servants. I came to the Yuan family today just to completely end this grudge."

He bowed to Yuanshou and said, "The so-called enemies should be resolved rather than formed. All the senior officials will testify. I will officially apologize to you. From now on, our grudges will be written off. How about it?"

Two vicious words burst out from Yuanshou's thin lips, "Dream!"

Yang Yuanqing's face changed, he took a step back, stared at Yuanshou and said slowly: "Yuan Neishi, do you really have no chance of reconciliation?"

"Yang Yuanqing, you are too naive. Can you end our deep hatred with blood? Let's go! I won't kill you now, and I hope you won't appear at the door of my Yuan family again."

Yuanshou secretly held back his anger and repeatedly warned himself not to get angry and not to fall into Yang Yuanqing's plan. If he reconciled with him, whether it was true or false, his Yuan family would not be able to raise his head in front of the world. This is also the reason why he refused to agree to Zhang Jin's false reconciliation.

Yang Yuanqing showed a look of disappointment on his face and sighed a long time ago, as if the Yuan family had lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Yuan Neishi, I will not leave. I just said that I must settle this hatred today."

Yuanshou's eyes flashed with anger, "What do you want to say, tell me!"

Yang Yuanqing's eyes suddenly became vicious and filled with murderous intent, as if there was a huge conspiracy behind him. His eyes slowly swept across everyone's face and looked at their eyes, making the cruel and ruthless murderous intent deeply imprinted in their hearts, and made everyone's heart a little doubt or fear.

Finally, his eyes fell on Yuanshou's face, and the vicious look in his eyes disappeared, becoming as sharp as a knife. He said word by word: "Okay! My Jingyuan family is a Xianbei royal family, and we resolve this hatred in the way of the Xianbei people."

He turned around and turned a wink. Yang Sanlang went up to open the lid of the sandalwood box on the steps. There was only one piece of paper inside. Yang Yuanqing pointed to the paper and said coldly to everyone: "This is my challenge. I officially asked the Yuan family to have a life-and-death duel with me. Please be witnesses of intermediary for us."

Yang Yuanqing deliberately put the word "duel" very seriously. Many of the guests behind Yuanshou were extremely smart old bureaucrats, and many of them turned pale. Although there was no connection in Yang Yuanqing's words, there was an invisible connection in his words, which made many people involuntarily think of the "He Ruobi case" that happened four years ago. Didn't He Ruobi ask Yang Yuanqing to have a life-and-death duel?

The emperor took advantage of the conflict between Yang Yuanqing and He Ruobi and set up a trap, and finally damaged the Dugu family and the Yuan family, opening the prelude to the attack on the Guanlong nobles.

Everyone thought of the silence of the priest on the prophecy, and when Yuanmin was broken at noon, the priest still did not express any statement at all. Many people felt a chill in their hearts. Could it be that there would be a trap this time?

This is an extremely clever psychological tactic. Yang Yuanqing did not mention the role played by Emperor Yang Guang in his fight with the Yuan family. He would never blatantly threaten everyone, otherwise he would be tabooed by Yang Guang.

Instead, he used a clever psychological suggestion to propose a duel with the Yuan family, which made everyone think of the He Ruobi case at once.

Seeing that everyone's faces had changed, Yang Yuanqing knew that he had achieved his goal, and the iron plate of the Guanlong nobles was smashed by him.

He bowed slightly: "If the Yuan Neishi is difficult to make a decision for the time being, I can wait. Dear ministers, Yuan Qing has disturbed everyone, say goodbye!"

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked, after walking a few steps, he turned back and smiled at Li Jiancheng, "Brother Jiancheng, please tell my father that I, Yang Yuanqing, thank you!"

Li Jiancheng's face changed and he asked in a trembling voice: "What are you thanking my father for?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled unfathomablely, "You know in your heart!"

He turned around and left.
