Immediately, there were palace maids and eunuchs who pulled up a curtain in front of Empress Xiao's seat, and the queen could meet the minister, but she couldn't see it directly, it had to be blocked, and there would even be a historian present, but not today, this is not the palace, only a dozen henchmen and eunuchs of Empress Xiao, and there are four strong martial arts guards standing at the door.

Yang Yuanqing searched his body through layers and finally entered Xiao Hou's room, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Fengzhou Shangzhen will knock Yang Yuanqing to see the queen mother Chitose!" ”[.81zw]

"General Yang is exempt."

On the other side of the curtain, Empress Xiao's tone was very flat, she had an identity, and she would not say something like her son Yang Xuan, although she was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Yuanqing in her heart, but she couldn't see it on the surface.

"Thank you, Niang!"

Yang Yuanqing stood up and stood with his hands down, Xiao Hou poured the curtain and glanced at Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing was in the light, she was in the dark, she could see Yang Yuanqing's appearance, he was tall, a talent, but his clothes were a little shabby, Xiao Hou had also experienced a poor life, and he didn't care about Yang Yuanqing's clothes, fortunately, Yang Yuanqing was not the Jiān cunning person with a roe head rat brain in her imagination.

"General Yang, where is the Son of Heaven Sword given to you by the Holy Heaven? Is it on the outside guard's hands? ”

According to Empress Xiao's idea, she wanted to confiscate the sword and give him a good land and a beautiful house instead, she also hoped that her husband would reward him like this, but her husband gave him a sword, and finally this sword caused trouble.

Yang Yuanqing saluted and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the minister knew that he couldn't bring the sword to the audience, so the sword minister didn't bring it." ”

After a while, Empress Xiao said lightly: "That sword represents the saint to a certain extent, and there is no problem for General Yang to hold it, but I am very worried that the sword will damage the reputation of the saint if it is in the hands of some ill-intentioned people, so be it!" You give me back the sword, and I will give you another good land and a beautiful house. ”

Yang Yuanqing knew very well in his heart the meaning of Empress Xiao's words, it was nothing more than what happened at the gate of the mansion today, and he didn't know how King Qi said bad things about himself...... If he handed over the sword like this, it would be tantamount to admitting the slander of King Qi, the sword, he could not ...... But he must make it clear in this matter, the sword has a reputation, and he Yang Yuanqing also has an honor.

"Returning to the queen, the sword is given by the saint to the minister, commending the minister's micro merits, if the mother feels inappropriate, to take back the sword, the minister has nothing to say...... But one day if the Holy One asks the courtiers...... How did Rang Chen answer? Please give the minister a clear sign. ”

"If the Holy One asks...... I'll explain that you're not in charge. ”

"Niangniang's meaning is understandable, but the minister can't always say, the sword was taken back by the mother, the specific reason is not known, this is disrespectful to the mother, but also disrespectful to the saint, I hope the mother can give the minister a ...... Say, so that the minister can answer the holy questions truthfully. ”

Yang Yuanqing's tone was very respectful, and his words were very tactful, but his attitude was very resolute...... It is okay for Empress Xiao to take away his sword, but he must give him an explanation, he does not accept the explanation that it was not kept well and was taken away by people with bad intentions, and that explanation is not tenable at all.

Any thing given by the Holy One will be taken away by someone with ill intentions, so why don't others take back their things, but take back their swords? This clearly refers to his improper use of the sword.

At this moment, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, suddenly rushed out of the side hall, pointed at Yang Yuanqing and scolded: "Bold thief, do you dare to threaten the queen's mother?" ”

Yang Yongsè was very timid, he sent someone to assassinate Yang Yuanqing, seeing that he was not dead, which made him feel a little cowardly in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, the eunuch did not collect a report to him, which made him feel bad for a while.

"When L, it's none of your business, step aside!"

Empress Xiao scolded her son unhappily, she originally wanted to ask Yang Yuanqing step by step, but Yang Xuan interrupted her train of thought.

Yang Yuanqing seized the opportunity, took off the military card from his waist, put it in front of him, and said without humility or arrogance: "This is the minister's military card, please take it back from the queen." ”

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment, and she immediately said extremely dissatisfied: "General Yang, what do you mean by this?" Threaten Hongu? ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Wechen didn't dare to threaten the queen, Wechen listened to the words of the queen, for the sake of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Weichen thought, the queen must not want His Royal Highness the King of Qi to bear the charge of assassinating the imperial court." 、。

Yang Yuanqing's words were extremely sharp, and he was also very frank, Xiao Hou's face changed, she glared at her son fiercely, Yang Yuan lowered his head, he felt weak in his heart, according to his Xing style, he must have immediately refuted it, and did not admit that there was such a thing, but the eunuch did not come to reply to him, he suspected that it had fallen into the hands of Yang Yuanqing, maybe he would write some confession, at this time he did not dare to expand the matter, this is also his little cleverness.

Empress Xiao is an extremely smart woman, she immediately heard what Yang Yuanqing said, and she also knew that her son had always misbehaved, and he actually went to the point of assassinating Yang Yuanqing, and it was estimated that the matter was not as simple as him complaining to himself.

She also realizes that she is being used by her son, but this is her most precious son.

On one side is the minister, on the other side is the son, which makes her very embarrassed, Xiao Hou looked back at her son, Yang Jun's eyes showed a begging gaze, that was the expression he often had after being naughty when he was a child, Xiao Hou's heart throbbed, she seemed to see her son babbling when he was a child, and she sighed when she saw her son smiling sweetly in the cradle.

After a moment of silence, the balance of feelings in her heart finally tipped in favor of her son.

"General Yang, I don't want to ask about other things, I'll just talk about things, the military card is a matter of the court, it has nothing to do with me, you take it back, you must hand back the sword immediately, do you understand?"

Yang Yuanqing saw that Empress Xiao didn't even talk about the least injustice for the sake of her son, that is, she would protect her if she was killed by Yang Yong.

He can understand this and mother's love, which is beyond reproach for ordinary women, but Empress Xiao is different, she is the queen of the world, and everyone in the world is her people, she can also choose to be silent, don't ask about the grievances between King Qi and him Yang Yuanqing, but she didn't do that, she still ordered herself to hand over the sword and protect her son, between the contradiction between the minister and her son, she lost the least justice.

Yihe's humiliation of being insulted ignited in Yang Yuanqing's heart, and the bravery in his bones was hairy, he slowly shook his head and said: "Please take away the military card from the queen mother, and I will hand over the sword together, if the mother is unwilling to take away the military card, then Weichen is still the border general of the Great Sui, and I should return this sword to the saint." ”

"Bold!"

Xiao Hou scolded angrily, "Yang Yuanqing, don't think that I don't dare to kill you, come here!" ”

Several Shi guards standing at the door agreed and were about to pounce on Yang Yuanqing, when a eunuch shouted outside: "Princess Leping has arrived!" ”

Footsteps sounded, Princess Leping Yang Lihua had already appeared at the door, Xiao Hou's anger was heard from afar, she had already heard Yang Zhao say the contradiction between Yang Yuanqing and Yang Kan, in fact, this was the struggle between Yang Han and Yang Zhao, but in a different way.

"Queen Mother, what is it that makes you angry?"

Yang Lihua slowly walked to Yang Yuanqing's side, glanced at Yang Yuanqing, and asked lightly, "Q...... Qing, did you annoy the queen mother? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Yang Yuanqing is a city J road.

When Empress Xiao heard Yang Lihua call Yang Yuanqing 'Yuanqing', she couldn't help but be slightly stunned in her heart, listening to her tone, it seemed that he had something to do with Yang Yuanqing.

Empress Xiao knew that this princess was fierce and tough, and she was not a person to be messed with, so she was even more worried about whether her son would have any tricks in the hands of Yang Yuanqing?

If he really has a handle and is caught by Yang Lihua, once the handle is made public, it will be detrimental to her son's reputation, and the matter is a bit serious, especially during this time, the saint is considering the prince's matter, and she doesn't want her second son to lose points for these things.

Although she was very annoyed with Yang Yuanqing in her heart, she had to calm down at this moment, she restrained her anger, and smiled casually: "It's nothing, this little general is not very polite, I am teaching him a lesson." ”

"It's the Mountain"

Yang Lihua glanced at Yang Yuanqing, sighed and said: "This child is still young, he has been on the side for a long time, he doesn't know how to deal with officialdom, let alone the rules of the palace, and it is inevitable that he will be rude. ”

"He's fifteen years old, and he's no longer a child!" Empress Xiao's sharp gaze stared at Yang Lihua.

"But for us, he's still a child."

Yang Lihua's eyes were as deep as the sea, and Empress Xiao's sharp gaze did not rise in her eyes

o Lan, she chicken Yang Yuanqing and Yan Yue said: "Yuanqing, don't apologize to the queen mother yet!" ”

Yang Yuanqing immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I don't know how to be polite, I bumped into the queen, please forgive the queen." ”

Yang Lihua's water and soft power and Yang Yuanqing cooperated in time, even if Empress Xiao was annoyed in her heart, she couldn't let it out, she had to give Yang Lihua a face, so she nodded, "Forget it, just like the princess said, you are still a ...... to me Child, I shouldn't have to worry about you, you have the ability to save the driver, forget about today's business, go ahead! ”

"Thank you Niang Niang Chitose, retire from your position!"

Yang Yuanqing saluted Yang Lihua again, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

He slowly retreated, Yang Lihua kept looking at his back and walked away, and then said to Xiao Hou in a sincere tone: "This child values love and righteousness, is kind to me, I like him very much, he is offensive to Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will look at my face and spare him once." ”

Yang Lihua did everything without leaking, and blocked the way that Empress Xiao might retaliate against Yang Yuanqing afterwards, forcing Empress Xiao to let go of the matter, "Where did the princess go, I am the dignified Empress of the Great Sui, how can I meet with a child, and this matter is over." ”

Yang Lihua saluted her and said with a smile: "I am the master today, and there are many affairs, so I will leave first, and then I will buy wine to make amends to my mother another day." ”

Empress Xiao took her hand affectionately and smiled: "A little thing, do we still need to say anything to make amends?" I know that the eldest sister is very busy, so I won't keep the eldest sister. ”

Yang Lihua nodded, walked lightly, and from beginning to end, she didn't say a word to Yang Yan next to her, as if she didn't know him.

Yang Jun originally thought that he could borrow his mother's power to clean up Yang Fangqing, but he didn't expect to get nothing in the end, which made him extremely unwilling, and he said angrily: "Yang Yuanqing is so guilty, Queen Mother, will we forget it?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with me, don't get involved with me!"

Empress Xiao glanced at him coldly, "The East Palace is undecided, Lai'er, I advise you not to offend the imperial aunt at this time." ”

Yang Jun touched his nose and retreated, Xiao paced in the palace with his hands behind his back, although she had promised Yang Lihua not to ask about this matter again, but what happened today still made her feel very unhappy, especially Yang Yuanqing borrowed her husband to suppress her, which made her feel like a fish in her throat.

At this time, the old eunuch Zhao Jinxian next to him yin**: "Queen Mother, the old slave thinks that Yang Yuanqing seems to lack a tutor!" ”

One sentence reminded Empress Xiao, that's right! She can not trouble Yang Yuanqing, but Yang Xuangan and his wife Zheng are not strict with their godson, and they are responsible.

"You go to the main hall and invite Yang Yuanqing's mother, Mrs. Zheng, to me, and I want to have a good talk with her about parenting."
