"Hey¡ª¡ªisn't this Mr. Yuan, the Minister of the Yuan Dynasty?" Yang Xiao naturally saw clearly the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Yuan, who had a gray beard and an old look in front of him.
Elemental opened his cloudy old eyes, and the little bald head that often appeared in nightmares suddenly appeared here. He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly screamed.
This guy, no matter how big or small, has no regard for etiquette. Back then in the Qianyang Palace, he was still the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he acted recklessly. Now that he has been reduced to a commoner, wouldn't it mean that he would bully him?
The good man did not eat before the old man returned to Guanzhong and then joined the Huainan Army to break through the Yang family of the Daxing Palace.
The servant nodded frequently, pushed through the crowd and ran to the back.
"How come the common people want to return to Guanzhong, and His Highness also wants to stop him?" Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes at Yang Xiao and raised his voice.
"Haha, if you want to go back, I can't stop you. Why don't you see your son Yuan Biao again for the last time? I'll behead him at the Meridian Gate after Autumn."
The gift of the white-headed man to the black-headed man was a hard-to-remove thorn in Yuan Yuan's heart. Seeing Yang Xiao bringing up old things this time, he was already so angry that his hair and beard were trembling. He stretched out his withered fingers and pointed at Yang Xiao and said tremblingly: "You - you - Alas - the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, it is useless to talk too much."
"Eh - listening to your tone, I think you knew about Yuan Biao's rebellion in your family." Yang Xiao is a smart person, "It seems that the old emperor has misplaced you."
Being tricked like this by Yang Xiao, even the cunning element was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his back. If this was really true on the street, he might really have to stay in Luoyang City, so what's the point? comeback
Thinking of this element, the old man rolled his eyes and suddenly burst into tears like Yuan San'er on the ground. He cried so much that tears flowed down his nose, and his nose also dripped with it: "I have worked hard for the Sui Dynasty all my life, working hard for the country and forgetting to eat and sleep. I have no merit even if I don't have any merit." Fortunately, the emperor is wise enough to restore my innocence, but where is the justice of being slandered before I leave Luoyang?"
This remark was like a scolding by a shrew, and it really aroused the pity of passers-by. Even Xu Hui on the side also felt sympathy. She took Yang Xiao's hand and said softly: "Brother Yang, forget it."
"Alas -" Yang Xiao sighed secretly, this old fox's face was really thick, and he suddenly didn't care that he was once a minister.
"Hehe - Lao Shangshu" Yang Xiao walked over and smiled kindly, "You have devoted yourself to our Yang family. How could our Yang family not know that if you want to go home, how dare I stop you?" Yang Xiao said this and bowed his head in the element. He whispered in his ear: "Don't you want to find your grandson Yuanxiao? Do you know his whereabouts?"
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment and stopped crying. Then, as if he hadn't heard anything, he still cried loudly: "Comments, everyone, His Highness Changsun has slandered me so much. I want to clear my name in front of the emperor."
Seeing him so disrespectful of dignity in public, Yang Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Yang Xiao also sighed to himself that Houhei Xue could be used in such a way.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao ignored him. A little old man could jump around. After defeating Meng Yao, he would turn around and take care of the old guy.
"Girl Hui, where are you planning to go?"
Seeing that the topic came up, Xu Hui looked at Yang Xiao with some resentment and said, "I don't know why my father asked my sister, my mother, and I to follow Master Yuan to Chang'an, saying it was to avoid being sent to work or something."
"Avoiding the office?" Yang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Mr. Xu was confused. Is there an inside story or some conspiracy? The Mid-Autumn Festival in August had just passed. The sky was crisp and the weather was gradually getting colder. Why should he go to Chang'an to avoid the office? , these two old immortals should go to the old fox's hometown, Yang Xiao thought of this and secretly spat at Xu Xiaode, but his future father-in-law probably wore the same pair of underwear when they were officials in the same court.
??Being the granddaughter-in-law of an old man? hostage? Or are they still colluding with the Meng Yao family, knowing that Luoyang City cannot be defended? Escape in advance?
"Where is your brother-in-law?" Yang Xiao vaguely felt something was wrong and looked at Xu Hui seriously.
"According to my servant, I had a quarrel with my father in the morning, and I happened to miss my mother at that time," Xu Hui said quietly.
quarrel? I guess they were arguing about whether to go to Chang'an. This old man Xu was not afraid of the negative impact and was so blatantly the first to escape. Could it be that Luoyang really couldn't be defended anymore.
Just as Yang Xiao was thinking about his thoughts, there was a burst of noise from the crowd behind him, and then someone shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, Lord Xu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is here."
Hearing the words, everyone automatically stepped out of a passage, and a large eight-person sedan with a vermillion hat rushed to and stopped in front of Yang Xiao and others.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and an official in a green robe walked out from it. Needless to say, this person was Xu Xiaode who was sent by Yuan Yuan to invite him.
Xu Xiaode glanced at Yang Xiao, Shi Shiran came to Yang Xiao, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Xiaode, comes to see His Highness Changsun."
Yang Xiao nodded and asked knowingly: "Which song is Mr. Xu singing?"
Xu Xiaode was stunned when he heard this. He didn¡¯t expect this little bald man to be so direct, but he was an old man after all. He thought about it and said respectfully: ¡°Your Highness, there are so many people here, can you take a step to speak?¡±
Hehe - now you know how to pay attention to the influence. I want to see what tricks you can play with the elder at this time.
"Okay -" Yang Xiao responded cheerfully, "The Wangjiang Tower is in front of us, let's go there and talk."
"Wangjiang Tower?" Xu Xiaode and Yuan Yuan looked at each other, and both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.
Wangjiang Tower was the place where the Cao Gang was wiped out. The common people may not know that night, but the two of them remember it vividly.
"This - this -" Xu Xiaode's face turned pale and he hesitated to respond.
"Let's go. There are no Twelve Golden Boughs, nor Dong Xiangyun's singing voice. I'm afraid I'm neglecting Mr. Xu."
Xu Xiaode was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. No matter what, he is still the legitimate highness of the eldest grandson.
"Follow His Highness's arrangements and go to Wangjiang Tower"
So, under the guidance of the imperial guard Zhao Heizi, the group headed towards Wangjiang Tower in a mighty manner.
By the time the group of people arrived at Wangjiang Tower, Dong Xiangyun and Qin Xiaoxiao had already made arrangements for the Luogong Man from Xinzhuang, as well as the tenants and servants of Qin Mansion.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in Dong Xiangyun's boudoir on the third floor, chatting. Hearing the noise downstairs, the two of them ran down. Seeing Yang Xiao leading a group of unknown people, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The sedan stopped, Xu Hui got off the sedan, and saw that the originally bustling Wangjiang Tower was now in ruins! She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yang Xiao, what is this?"
Yang Xiao looked at Xu Xiaode who was following him, and when he saw him shaking his head, he realized that this old guy had imprisoned Hui Yatou so miserably that he was treated like a golden bird.
"Huiya, go, you, Xiao Xiao and Sister Dong go downstairs to talk. Your father and I have something to talk about."
Dong Xiangyun and Qin Xiaoxiao are both exquisite and exquisite people. They have already stepped forward and pulled Xu Hui, who was full of surprise and doubts, upstairs.
Seeing several people disappear on the third floor, Yang Xiao just turned to Zhao Heizi and said: "Heizi, please ask everyone aside first, especially take good care of the elders and ministers."
Zhao Heizi rolled his eyes, jumped off the horse, and responded loudly: "This is His Highness Changsun, please don't worry, I will take good care of you."
After dispersing all the servants of the Yuan Mansion, Zhao Heizi led a few imperial guards to carry Yuan Yuan to the private house next to Wangjiang Tower. This tugging made Yuan Yuan scream in surprise again and again.
When Xu Xiaode saw this scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. This evil guy did not act according to common sense when he saw it.
"Your Highness Changsun, what are you doing?"
Yang Xiao ignored Xu Xiaode's reaction and said with a smile: "Master Xu, please come in, I want to hear your thoughts." He took the lead and entered Wangjiang Tower.
Xu Xiaode followed in with anxiety. As soon as he entered the building, he saw Yang Xiao already sitting on the chair like a king.
"Sit down, Master Xu," Yang said with a smile.
When Xu Xiaode sat down, Yang Xiao sarcastically said: "Master Xu is worthy of being the leader of all officials. He has set an example for all officials."
"What kind of example should you set?" Xu Xiaode knew he was in the wrong, so he bent over and lowered his head in response.
"Hehe -" Yang Xiao sneered a few times and said, "Yes, yes, the shame you can learn from the old man is probably as good as the walls of Wangjiang Tower."
"I heard that when you were the magistrate of Changheng County, you were passionate, diligent and devoted to the country. When you were promoted, you were praised by all the people. Do you still keep that umbrella in your home?"
Xu Xiaode's face turned red when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat. How could this evil guy know his past? Yes, he was ordered to go to Changyuan County to check the tax bank some time ago. I'm afraid he heard about it at that time. .
"Umbrella for the people," Yang Xiao said, stood up, walked up and said as if to himself, "Petition for the people, haha, good. The more a petitioner for the people becomes, the bigger he becomes. What was originally a petition for the people has become a petition for himself." , Hehe - people will be punished by heaven and earth for their own sake, don't you think - "Xu Xiaode was in a trance when he heard it! He remembered that when he was young, his old face could not help but blush, and his whole body shivered on the chair.
Yang Xiao continued to laugh mockingly as if he hadn't seen it: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Personnel, the official in charge of hundreds of officials, look at the state of affairs in the Sui Dynasty in the past few years - to this day, you are still taking the lead in escaping? The Sui Dynasty has been raised in vain. You¡ªah," Yang Xiao said and finally yelled at Xu Xiaode.
Xu Xiaode was yelled until his face turned blue and white. Seeing the future prince humiliating him like this, Xu Xiaode felt that his official career had come to an end and couldn't help but stand up. His Royal Highness Changsun also yelled, and said loudly with shame: "Ha Haha - you said you are right and I don't deny it. If a man does not do it for himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the official in charge of hundreds of officials. The two princes are fighting for the heirs and do not care about serving the country. As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry. Why should I, the eunuch, be in a hurry - Cheng The prince Caoqu, Jiangnan and Huainan cannot collect taxes and money, and the national treasury is in deficit every year. His Highness Prince Long, the Cao Gang creates chaos to hold the officials accountable. If I, Xu Xiaode, don¡¯t follow the trend, am I going to retire and return to my hometown like the former prime minister?"
While the two were arguing, Xu Hui from upstairs came to the stairs at some point. She was stunned by her father's words, and her originally clear eyes were already filled with tears. .
