The fragrance of tea curls, rendering layers of mist, and the dim light is reflected in Yuwen Yong's glass-like eyes, which are as dazzling as flames. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After Yu Wenwu took a sip of tea, he slowly raised his head, glanced at Yu Wen Yong and said, "The emperor summoned the old minister late at night?" Just for this? In his tone, three points of resentment and seven points of arrogance, as if someone was disturbing his quiet dream, but right now, it was just now. (19 o'clock to 21 o'clock Beijing time) Yu Wenxian unnaturally squinted at Yu Wenhu, there was no joy or sadness on his face, but he sighed in his heart that he relied on the old and sold the old, and he was helpless.

Yuwen Yong was tepid and angry, his voice was humble and soft, and he said leisurely: "Before the death of the first emperor Emperor Wen, he had ordered Otsuka Zai to be in charge of the country, and many of my things still need to rely on Otsuka Zai to plan for me, and he was disturbed late at night, but it was also my helplessness. I'm still young, and I have to rely on Otsuka to raise a few more points. Otsuka Zai worked hard, but I didn't think about it thoroughly, and I forgot the time now. Although the words were humble and sincere, there was a bit of detachment in the tone.

Yuwen Yong's flattering words, listening to Yuwen Hu was very useful, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and then he came to the strength, a look of arrogance that the sky is high and the sea is wide under my feet, and said: "The emperor doesn't have to be polite, the old minister will do his best to assist the emperor and protect my Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of generations, but the old minister is old, this old bone can't stand the toss, and he has already fallen asleep at this hour on weekdays, so he is a little anxious, the emperor doesn't mind." ”

"Otsuka Zai is serious. It's just that at present, the envoys of Chen State have stayed in my Chang'an for several days, and Chen Xu's (Chen State's younger brother Chen Wendi)'s concubine Liu and son Chen Shubao are still stranded in the city. Or won't you give it back? Yuwen Yong looked at Yuwen Hu leisurely, his eyes were cold, and he was a little noble.

"The old minister thinks that we not only have to pay it back, but also send someone to return it in person. Now is a good time for us to make friends with Chen Guo. Although Gao Zhan, the emperor of Qi State, said that he was mediocre, but he had famous generals such as Gao Changgong, Hu Luguang, and Duan Shao under his command to defend it, and it was probably not easy for us to attack it in one fell swoop, this is a long-term battle. The Turks, in alliance with the Sassanid Empire of Persia, are busy destroying the kingdom of Da, a great rival in the western part of the Turks, and have no time to help us, and the peace with the Turks has not yet been settled. Ancheng King Chen Ji loves Chen Shubao very much, Chen Shubao is the eldest son, if we detain people, presumably Chen Ji will unite with Qi to attack us, so the old minister thinks that if he can make friends with Chen Guo at this time, it will be beneficial and harmless. ”

Yuwen Yong nodded approvingly, and then asked: "Otsuka Zai's analysis is extremely correct, right now, even if you can't form an alliance with Chen Guo to attack Qi State, you can still ensure that Zhou and Chen are safe." But who should be the more appropriate person to send to the envoy who returned it? Not only does it not lose courtesy, but it shows the bearing of my big Zhou, and can it better dredge the relationship between the two countries? ”

Yu Wenyong frowned deeply, took a sip of tea gently, and glanced at Yu Wenxian with an indiscriminate look, Yu Wenxian immediately understood, walked forward a few steps and bowed his knees and said:

"The minister is willing to share the emperor's worries and solve problems. Chen Ji is the younger brother of Emperor Wen Chen, with a noble status, and Concubine Liu is Chen Ji's wife. The minister thought that going as the king of Qi Yang not only showed my Great Zhou's courtesy to Chen Guo, but also showed my Great Zhou's determination to make friends with Chen Guo. Therefore, the task of returning the envoy is none other than the minister. Yu Wenxian changed his casual temperament in the past, his eyes were determined, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

Yuwen Yong gently put down the teacup, looked at Yuwen Hu, and asked, "Otsuka Zai thinks that King Qi can take on this important task?" ”

Yuwen Hu stood up, walked a few steps in the hall with his hands in his hands, pondered for a moment, and said, "This person is really the King of Qi. I heard that the King of Qi had a friendship with Wu Mingche, the former general of Chen Guozhen, and this time he could take advantage of the return of Chen Ji's family to make more friends with him to lay the foundation for the future alliance. ”

"Well, King Qi, you will leave for the city tonight, arrive before the envoys of the Chen State arrive, and take more care of Chen's wife and children, so as not to take care of the city too much, and be looked at by the envoys, which will backfire."

"The minister obeys the order, but it's just ......" Yu Wenxian wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating, Yu Wenyong said again:

"You can go with confidence, and later I will send someone to the Qi Palace's mansion to inform your family, so that they don't worry." Yu Wenyong's eyes were cold, as if his state of mind was distant and cold. He looked directly at Yu Wenxian, as if he could see through his thoughts, and his tone was cold and could not be resisted.

Yu Wenxian also looked at Yu Wenyong lightly, swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach, and only said: "The minister will leave immediately, and he will not disgrace his mission and send Chen Ji's wife and children back safely." ”

It's early autumn, and the heat of the night is gone. The bright moon on the head was cool and quiet, hazy, and the light of the moon flickered vaguely, covering and shadowing.

Yu Wenxian stood at the gate of the palace and looked deeply in the direction of the Qi Palace, as if he could see the hearty woman who was laughing with Li'er at the moment through the middle of the night. He laughed a few times, as if remembering something happy, and then stopped abruptly, his eyes wandered away, and a few wisps of sadness were added to his handsome countenance. The guards behind him reminded in time: "Lord Wang, it's late at night, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that it will be dawn later." In the end, Yu Wenxian turned over and jumped and rushed towards the direction of the city with a few guards.

At this time, the inside of the imperial study was still brightly lit. Yuwen Yong ordered people to collect the calligraphy and painting together, replaced them with half-read military books, and gathered their minds, and the silence in the hall seemed to be heard vividly even when a needle fell on the ground, only the creaking sound of the candle wick when the lamp burned out.

Gonggong Li approached leisurely and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Yan, the commander of the guards, asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Yu Wenyong still looked at the book of soldiers seriously, as if it was someone else who spoke just now.

Lu Yan's steps are light, as thin as silent, and at a glance, he knows that he is a person with strong martial arts. He bowed his knees and said, "The minister participates in the emperor." ”

Yu Wenyong shook his slightly stiff shoulders and neck twice, and then closed the military book before he slowly spoke: "Flatten, King Qi has already left?" ”

After Lu Yan stood up, he still stood in place, and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I have already left." It's just that King Qi was stunned for a long time in front of the palace gate, as if he wanted to explain something. ”

Yu Wenyong raised his head leisurely, his eyes were cold, his handsome eyebrows touched slightly, his tone was alienated and indifferent, and he said coldly: "King Qi not only moved, but also moved. Lu Yan, you go to the Qi Palace, and see if the princess of Qi is still in the palace, if she is still there, you can deal with it for King Qi. ”
