When Yang Jixun called out, he saw a handsome man with a cut-off gauze hat and a dark scarlet court dress coming out. This man was about thirty years old, with clear eyebrows and a plump face like jade. The neatly trimmed beard under his chin made him look handsome.

He had a bit of mature charm due to his life experience. But the arrogance between his brows made him lose his luster a lot.

This man gave Yang Ji the impression that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was, so he raised his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm a humble servant, Shaoqing Liu Shu." The handsome man's face instantly turned the color of pig's liver, and he looked at Yang Ji with eyes filled with hatred.

Liu Shunai was the eldest son of Yang Jian's favored minister Liu Ji. He was from a famous family in Hedong. He was intelligent and talented. He was worshiped as the Minister of Zhongshu. He almost became the consort of the Sui Dynasty more than ten years ago. At that time, the young Princess Lanling was a widow at home, and Yang Jian originally planned to marry him

Marry Xiao

Xiao Kui, the fifth son of Xiao Kui, the younger brother of Crown Princess Xiao Wan, encountered the death of Xiao Kui when the two families were discussing marriage. According to etiquette, Xiao Kui had to observe filial piety for three years. In this way, Lanling

The princess's remarriage was shelved.

After Yang Jian completed the great cause of unifying the world, he looked back and found that Princess Lanling was already eighteen years old, and the marriage could no longer be delayed. However, there was another candidate for the consort at this time, Liu Shu. Yang Jian was in a dilemma and summoned a famous fortune teller.

Wei Ding gave a fortune-telling to the chosen prince-in-law, and Wei Ding said: "Xiao Jue has signs of becoming a prince, but he does not have the appearance of a noble wife; Liu Shu has a distinguished face, but cannot keep wealth."

Yang Jian heard that everyone had their own shortcomings and wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Shu, who he preferred. Princess Lanling was in the back hall at that time. She wanted to see the candidates for the prince-in-law, but she was a little embarrassed, so she took Yang Ji away.

Yang Ji then said to his cousin: "Liu

Shu will definitely die miserably in the future. If Sister A Wu marries Liu Shu, she will have to remain a widow again." Princess Lanling, who had violated the taboo, did not hesitate to stop her father. Seeing her daughter's firm attitude, Yang Jian had no choice but to obey.

In the previous engagement, she was married to Xiao Jue.

Liu Shu learned from Yang Yong the reason why Princess Lanling did not want to marry him. At first, he felt that he was missing an ancestor, and was vaguely grateful to Yang Ji; but soon, this gratitude turned into resentment.

Because of her beautiful appearance and noble demeanor, Princess Lanling was not arrogant and domineering, but gentle and gentle. When her reputation as a modest, courteous and virtuous woman spread, the glorious Sui Emperor doted on her daughter even more. Lanling

As a result of the princess being favored by the emperor, her husband Xiao Jue was promoted to a high official position, and soon became the Minister of Military Affairs.

And Liu Shu had gone through countless channels, spent countless money, and made many promises, but he was still just a servant Shaoqing in charge of horses. What's more terrible is that he had actively advised Yang Yong in the past and relied on his talents many times to help Yang Yong.

Guang creates trouble. Once Yang Guang takes power, his status will definitely fall instead of rising.

Liu Shu, who had an unbalanced mentality, began to feel that if Yang Ji hadn't caused trouble, the beautiful, noble, gentle and gentle princess would have been his, and everything about Xiao Jue would have been his. How big the gap between him and Xiao Jue is now, he would be ten thousand times worse.

I hated Yang Ji. Now I saw the opportunity, so I hurriedly jumped out to trip up Yang Ji.

"It turns out to be Liu Da Toad, no wonder he looks so familiar." After hearing him introduce himself, Yang Ji immediately remembered it, smiled and handed over his hands: "Brother Toad, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"

"..." Liu Shu was so angry that he lost his temper. He found that Yang Ji had a vicious mouth and specialized in attacking people's pain points. He Ruobi was like this, and so was he.

Yang Guang, who was above, felt very happy and felt like he was vomiting bad breath. However, he also saw that his fighting skills were a bit immature. At this time, he should go straight to the topic to avoid Liu Shu's fatal question. If Liu Shu replied

If you turn your head to fight back, you will be in trouble. Get up immediately and go to

Yang Jian bowed his hands in salute, then turned to face Yang Ji, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "My father is busy with government affairs and has many things to do. Every moment is extremely precious. You can't escape the fact that you have injured He Ruohuailiang by talking here and there. Directly.

Tell me, why did you hurt someone on the street?"

"The prince's words make sense!" Yang Jian twirled his beard, nodded, and asked Yang Ji, "Why did you hurt others?"

"Saint, it's not that I want to hurt anyone, it's actually He Ruohuailiang who intended to kill me first." Yang Ji cupped his hands and said, "That day I went to Furong Pond with King Tao to attend Brother Teng's birthday party. When we passed by Furong Bridge, He Ruohuailiang brought him

Rangers

, a big man who is actually an assassin ambushed us on the bridge, preparing to assassinate our brothers. I am the majestic King of Sui Wei and the brother of the Tao King, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? In order to maintain the majesty of the royal family and the safety of the king's brother, I ordered the guards to rise up

Resist. But I

Still keeping in mind the laws of the Sui Dynasty and the teachings of the imperial aunt, I only subdued the assassins headed by He Ruohuailiang and did not kill anyone. However, He Ruogong relied on his prominent family background and the favor of the saint to ignore the national law and chased me to Furong Tower to kill me. If it weren't for Brother Cai Wang,

, Teng

Brother Wang protects me, I am afraid that what you see today is my body; now He Ruogong calls for catching the thief, and in turn frames me, which is really ridiculous. I beg the saint to understand clearly, enforce the law impartially, and not to forgive He Ruogong's crime because of his noble status."

He Ruobi was so furious that he ignored his daughter-in-law's "sad cry" and said loudly: "That's nonsense. My son just intercepted you at Furong Bridge. Why did he want to kill you and the Taoist King? I'm at Furong Tower.

I just want to have a fair duel with you."

"You are a world-famous warrior, and yet you asked a half-year-old child to duel him who has not yet grown up and lacks strength. Isn't this the best proof that you want to kill me? The so-called 'fair' duel is just to find someone to kill me.

It's just a legitimate reason. Fortunately, the two king brothers took care of me at that time. Otherwise, I would have been cut in half by your sword." Yang Ji bowed to Yang Jian and said, "Many important ministers attended the birthday party of Brother Teng Wang that day.

They can all come forward to testify."

The context of the fight between the two was very clear. Everyone who was present or not present knew that the cause was He Ruohuailiang. If he had not boldly intercepted the two princes, there would have been no follow-up.

Perhaps his original intention was not to kill people, and Yang Ji went too far by turning him into a eunuch; but from a legal perspective, intercepting the royal family was a taboo, even if Yang Ji had someone kill him, it would not be an exaggeration.

Seeing He Ruobi's attempt to defend himself, Yang Ji quickly added: "If the He Ruo family and his son who openly assassinated the prince were safe and sound, wouldn't tens of millions of people in the world follow suit? If someone takes the He Ruo family and his son as an example and assassinates me, maybe

We won't have such good luck. After killing us princes, who will be next? Maybe it will be the King of Jin who is the grandson of the emperor, or maybe the prince. In the end, he might dare to openly assassinate the saint."

After hearing these words, Yang Jian's expression changed, and his attitude in his heart also changed drastically.

It is true that He Ruobi was a meritorious official, but he had never treated him badly, and when he committed crimes, he repeatedly forgave and protected him. But their father and son had evolved to the point where they openly showed their swords to the Sui Prince. If they still let bygones be bygones,

Wouldn't it encourage lawless people to assassinate the king and kill him?

This wind must not last long!

"He Ruo and his son even dared to show their swords to the princes of the Sui Dynasty. You can tell by their attitude when facing ordinary people and ordinary officials." Yang Guang came with an assist and handed over a thick folding book: "In order to prove it.

I guess that I have brought some files from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to look at; these are all cases related to the He Ruo clan, please ask my father to take a look."

Before that, Yang Guang saw He Ruobi making enemies everywhere and accusing him in an endless stream. He thought he was imitating Yang Su and desecrating himself and wanted to be a lonely minister. But when he used his power to supervise the prince, he mobilized some files to read

Only then did I realize that He Ruobi was really dirty.

Especially Wudu County Duke He Ruolong and Wanrong County Duke He Ruodong, these two are He Ruobi's elder brother and younger brother respectively. The reason why he became the County Duke is all because He Ruobi killed Chen Zhizhi. He had no talent at all, but he inherited the He Ruobi family.

They don't understand the tradition of being a good person, retribution, and domineering. When they were governors, using their power to make money was secondary. The key was that every time they liked someone's property, they had to buy it at a low price. Of course they were not willing to do so.

, so their brothers turned their family soldiers into bandits, exterminated all those who refused, and then used the power of the governor to take those properties and houses as their own. Some upright officials and local gentry wanted to go to Beijing to complain, but he was also

They destroyed their families. As for He Ruobi's eldest son, He Ruohuaikuo, as the general manager of Shazhou, it was natural for him to withhold military pay, eat pensions, and drink the blood of soldiers. As long as he liked the wives and daughters of any general, that general would die in the so-called bandit suppression.

en route.

Although the case of annihilation of the family and the death of soldiers in the battle written in the file are true, and the "bandits" were also annihilated afterwards, one or two incidents can be said to be accidents and coincidences, but if dozens or hundreds of incidents are related to the He Ruo family

, the properties and houses of hundreds of families that were wiped out ended up in He Ruo's family, which is very unusual.
