When Yuwen Zhi saw that even Yuwen Min had joined the emperor's camp and joined forces to deal with Yuwen Hu, the whole person was stunned! Yuwenmin is Yuwenhu's most beloved daughter! Although she is only an adopted daughter, not only the entire Zhou Kingdom, but even the group of thieves in the Qi Kingdom know that Yuwenhu treats Yuwenmin closer than his own daughter, and the degree of doting is not even comparable to Yuwenzhi's biological sons!

"Minmin, why do you even want to join the emperor's camp to deal with Yuwenhu? He's the father who raised you! And he also loves you very much, how can you..."Yuwen Zhi said incredibly, you must know that he used to curry favor with Yu Wenmin, in fact, it was to please Yuwen Hu through Yu Wenmin, so that he could get more benefits!

"That's right, he raised me, and he loved me in every way, and I will remember all this! But he's my father's killer! I'll never forget that it was Ubundo who bought the cook and poisoned my father's meal, killing my father! And my mother loved him so much, he actually gave her away like an object for power, so that my mother was depressed all the time, and finally died in childbirth to give birth to me! It's Yuwenhu, it's he who turned me into a lonely star who killed my parents, and since then the world has respected me, and it is he who has turned me into an orphan girl who has never been loved by my parents! Yu Wenmin cried with tears.

"Alas, Minmin, it turns out that you also know that it was Yuwenhu who poisoned your father! But this is not surprising, after all, Yuwenhu killed three emperors in a row back then, and these are not hidden things, many ministers of the court and the central government actually knew at that time, but under the obscenity of Yuwenhu, no one dared to question him, but in the end, it led to his increasing power, and now no one dares to compete with it, let him control the government! Yuwen shook his head and sighed.

"So we have to unite even more, and then concentrate on eradicating Yubundo in one fell swoop! Moreover, in the Yiyang War, the Zhou army suffered a crushing defeat, which will definitely greatly weaken Yuwenhu's prestige in the Zhou State, and will also cause many people to have all kinds of dissatisfaction with Yuwenhu, these people are all people who stand in the middle and watch and speculate, now we can take the opportunity to win them over, then our chances of success will be greatly increased! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"So, how is the emperor preparing now? Any plans? After eradicating Yuwenhu, what are the emperor's plans? Yuwen Zhi asked nervously, because as a wall grass, what he was most concerned about was of course to know that he risked his life so much to join the emperor's camp and turn to deal with Yuwen Hu, what benefits he could get after the matter was completed!

"Of course, the emperor is always ready, but the plan can never catch up with the changes, this kind of such an important thing, of course, we have to adapt to the situation, but our goal will not change, that is, to completely eradicate Yuwenhu!" Xiao Yao explained, then looked at Yuwen and smiled meaningfully: "And His Royal Highness Guogong is the emperor's younger brother, His Royal Highness and the emperor are blood thicker than water, as the so-called fighting tigers do not leave their own brothers, plus this time His Royal Highness fully supports the emperor and does his best to eradicate Yuwenhu, so after the emperor is in power in the future, can you not reuse Your Highness?" At that time, His Royal Highness will be the minister of the humerus above 10,000 people under one person in the Great Zhou court! ”

"One person under ten thousand people? This, is this the position of Otsuka Zai of Yubunto? What the master said is very reasonable! The emperor and I are brothers of the same mother, of course the emperor will be close to and reuse my own brother, and will never reuse those outsiders! Yuwenzhi said excitedly.

"That's right, so we must rush back to Chang'an immediately, and then discuss with the emperor and discuss a comprehensive plan to eradicate Yuwenhu in one fell swoop!" Xiao Yao suggested.

"Okay, the military affairs here have also been dealt with, and the army can return to the court at any time, so without further ado, we will set off immediately, return to Chang'an, and join the imperial brother!" Yuwen Zhi agreed.

。。。。。。

In Chang'an City, on the Otsuka Zaifu of Yuwenhu, a group of people are discussing in the secret room.

"Otsuka Zai, we can't hesitate any longer, and we should continue to suffer from it! Although the emperor still shows great trust in Otsuka, the situation in the court has reached a very critical point, and we must plan for the future! We should now make up our minds to enter the palace in a fit of rage, depose the emperor and stand on their own feet in the name of the Qing monarch, and then get rid of these people! Otsuka Zai must not have the kindness of a woman, if these ministers who dare to be angry and dare not speak out unite and stand on the emperor's side, then we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover! Yuan Xin, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, tried his best to persuade Yuwenhu to force the palace to rebel.

Because of the defeat in the Battle of Yiyang, Yuwenhu, as the person in charge of the military operation, of course, had to bear a certain responsibility, although by virtue of his position and means of being a minister, Yuwenhu transferred the black pot of this fiasco to his political enemy Wei Xiaokuan, and the stone wall that Wei Xiaokuan held was broken by Hu Luguang This defeat became the reason for the failure of the Yiyang War, and then removed Wei Xiaokuan's official position and used him as a scapegoat.

But the ministers knew in their hearts that when Yuwenhu insisted on sending troops to attack the Qi State, it was Wei Xiaokuan who objected, but now Yuwenhu asked him to carry this black cauldron, which made the ministers feel very cold and angry, so the entire Zhou court was filled with an atmosphere of clamping and staring sideways, which made the ministers and generals who were in Yuwenhu's camp feel very bad.

"This should be a long-term consideration! You must know that today's emperor treats people leniently, and he also relies on the old man, and often refers to his cousin in private. Yuwenhu said with a gloomy face and hesitation.

Although the emperor's nemesis Yuwenhu has killed three emperors in a row, in fact, to a large extent, it is because he was forced to be helpless, and he had to kill him, in order to protect himself! Just like when he killed Yuwenjue, it was because Yuwenjue was ready to attack him, if he didn't attack first, he would definitely be Yuwenhu who died!

Of course, there must be a part of this because of the greed for power! When Yu Wenyu, who supported Yu Wenmin's father, ascended to the throne, in order to gain his trust, he also gave his beloved woman to Yu Wenyu, thus gaining more power! And at this time, Yuwenhu was also middle-aged, high-spirited, ambitious, of course, he also wanted to ascend to the throne of God, and had an addiction to being an emperor, but when he poisoned Yuwenyu, he was one step short, and Yuwenyu announced in public before he died that he had passed the throne to Yuwenyong, which shattered Yuwenhu's dream of being the emperor!

Now that twelve years have passed, Yuwenhu is also old and tired, the ambition in his heart, the high-spirited, and the passion to guide the country has long been gone, and this Yuwenyong has been a puppet emperor for twelve years, he has always been weak and incompetent, and he is even more obedient to Yuwenhu, and he is only willing to make a promise, which makes Yuwenhu a little unable to do it, in addition to thinking about some family affection, the main reason is that now I want to find an obedient monarch, which is not a simple matter!

And Yuwenhu is also satisfied with the current situation of his own power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and holding the prince hostage to make the princes, although he has already borne the reputation of a powerful minister, but he does not want to bear the infamy of a courtier's usurpation and a rebellious minister and thief!

But this is Yuwenhu's turn to this group of cronies and subordinates are unwilling, after all, they take refuge in Yuwenhu is to get more benefits and a better future, if Yuwenhu can take another step forward and ascend to the throne, then he will definitely be able to let the Dao chicken dog rise and get more benefits! And in the struggle for power, if you don't advance, you will retreat, either you die or I die, if Yuwenhu loses power, then as a grasshopper on a rope, he will definitely be cleansed, not only will he not escape death, but even his family will be wiped out together!

So Yuan Xin could only continue to persuade: "Now that our Zhou army has suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle of Yiyang, although we have put the blame on Wei Xiaokuan, but the ministers of the court still have great complaints about Otsuka Zai, after all, it was Otsuka Zai who insisted on sending troops to the east to attack Qi State!" And our two eastern expeditions to Qi returned in vain, and the court thought that this was caused by Otsuka's improper command and arbitrariness, and Otsuka's prestige is now much worse than before, and the ministers in the court are now only afraid of Otsuka's power, so they dare not boldly show it and directly oppose Otsuka, but in fact, they hate Otsuka Zai in their hearts! So Otsuka Zai can't deceive himself anymore, we must take precautions and strike first, just like he did with Emperor Min at the beginning, he is planning a conspiracy to deal with Otsuka Zai, and now, I see that although the emperor is pretending to be weak and incompetent, he must also have ideas in his heart, and it may be unfavorable to Otsuka Zai when the time comes! ”

"At the beginning, I deposed Emperor Min out of self-preservation, and I never thought of replacing him, and later I also supported Emperor Ming to ascend to the throne, and the world knows that I do not covet the throne, so I have not been opposed by other Rao! But now I want to abolish the emperor and stand on my own, which I am afraid will cause other dissatisfaction, and it will inevitably cause civil strife at that time! Yuwenhu still hesitated.

"So we have to strike decisively, cut through the mess quickly, and take advantage of the fact that they are not ready, and make a thunderous move! Although Wei Xiaokuan has now led the remnants of Fenbei to return to Chang'an in advance and stationed in the military camp outside the city, we have received a fast horse report from the Hanguguan military camp that Weiguo Gongyu Wenzhi has led the army of Hanguguan to leave the camp and return to the court! Although this Wei Guogong is the emperor's half-brother, he has always been a confidant of Otsuka Zai, and his relationship with the emperor is not very close, I believe that he will also stand on our side this time! And in addition to the garrison outside the city, Otsuka's son, Ju Guogong, is the commander of the forbidden army in the palace! When the time comes, we will cooperate with Gongzi to take the palace in one fell swoop, control Chang'an City, and great things will be done! Yuan Xin said excitedly.

After listening to Yuan Xin's analysis, the people in the entire secret room were extremely excited, very excited, only Yuwenhu was still gloomy and hesitant, because he knew that the emperor was not so easy to be, and he was already over sixty years old, that is, there were not many years to live, if he wanted to abolish the emperor at this time, how long could he sit on the throne, and after a few years, it was not the group of flying and domineering people who wanted to pass on the throne, but only the fox and the tiger, and the son of the weapon! In the end, it will definitely fall into power, and the ministers will be in charge, or even replace them, and wipe out all their own clan, such as a vicious circle, which is really a big irony for him Yuwen Hulai!

And although Yuwenhu is a powerful minister, he is a loyal minister, he is loyal to the Zhou State he founded, and his wish is also to lead the Zhou State to become strong, and then defeat the Qi State Chen State and unify it! But now he wants him to force the palace to rebel, and none of the sons under his knees are expected to be emperors, and when the time comes, it will definitely lead to the decline of the civil strife of the Zhou State, and even be destroyed by Qi and Chen, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Seeing that Yuwenhu had been unable to make up his mind, another cronie general Wang Xiong suggested: "Mutiny forced the palace, abolished the emperor and stood on his own, although these sound a bit harsh, but the so-called loyalty is good for action, people have no long-term worries, now it is different from the past, the attitude of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government towards Otsuka Zai has also undergone a significant change, no longer as before only Otsuka Zai is the first to look forward, so although this matter is a big rebellion, but it is also the most beneficial strategy for us!" Now Otsuka Zai is hesitant, I believe that he can't accurately grasp the thoughts of the civil and military officials above the court! But now that Yiyang is defeated, Otsuka Zai has become the target of everyone's hearts, if you want to be as arbitrary as before, it will inevitably cause other dissatisfaction, we can use a move to retreat into advance, and then test the attitude in the hearts of these ministers! ”

"What is the strategy of retreating?" Hearing that there was no need to raise troops to force the palace, abolish the emperor and stand on his own, and be a chaotic minister and thief, Yuwenhu immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Otsuka Zai can ask the emperor for guilt, on the grounds that he is responsible for the defeat of Yiyang, ask for the removal of all officials of Otsuka Zai, and then ask for officials for Gongzi, so that the emperor can make Gongzi the general of the Pillar State and take charge of the defenders of Chang'an City, so as to test the thoughts of the civil and military officials and the emperor." Wang Xiong smiled.

"If you want Otsuka Zai to resign and ask for an official for Gongzi, isn't it a contradiction?" Another henchman general asked puzzled.

"It is necessary to be so contradictory that we can test the minds of these ministers!" Wang Xiong smiled confidently: "Otsuka Zai's resignation from his official position and retreat as an advance can calm down the resentment of the officials, but asking the emperor to make the prince the general of the Zhu State can let these ministers know that the government of the Great Zhou is still in the hands of Otsuka Zai, so that they can cut off the slightest illusion!" If the officials agree to these requirements of Otsuka Zai, then the officials still support Otsuka Zai, and they will naturally not stand on the emperor's side! If the ministers do not support these demands of Otsuka Zai, then it is clear that they are determined to oppose Otsuka Zai, then in order to prevent them from taking refuge on the emperor's side, we must strike first and take action against them in advance, so as to prevent future troubles! ”
