Chapter 266: Kissing the Prince
Yesterday, Yuwenzhi took the opportunity to enter the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, found his brother Yuwenyong, and then expressed his loyalty to him, willing to assist him in eradicating Yuwenhu and regaining power!
Yuwen Yong, as a puppet emperor who has been a puppet emperor for twelve years under the obscenity of Yuwenhu, has always been careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, of course he will not believe what Yuwenzhi said immediately, after all, Yuwenzhi has already taken refuge in Yuwenhu before, and he also helped him deal with his own brother!
In the face of Yu Wenyong's suspicion, Yu Wenzhi also expressed his understanding, and then moved out of Xiao Yao's rhetoric to prove that he now has only the only way to go to the emperor!
"Your Majesty, this Master Sanzang is right, the two of us are brothers whose blood is thicker than water, and this is the reason why the courtiers want to stand on your side! That's right, the previous brother ignored the brotherhood with the emperor, took refuge in Yuwenhu's account, and even helped the abuse, offending the emperor, but the situation at that time The emperor should understand that Yuwenhu monopolized power, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and even the emperor himself was difficult to protect, so I had to pretend to be stupid in front of him, and I, as a small Weiguo Gong, had no power or power, what choice could I have except to attach to Yuwenhu? Yuwenzhi said affectionately.
"Now the reason why my brother chooses to return to the emperor's side, I admit that a large part of the reason is because I want to go further in my career, but the emperor and I are both sons of Taizu, the emperor has the ambition to take back power and unify the world, and the younger brother also has the ambition to serve the country! Therefore, in public and private, the ministers and brothers can only choose to return to the emperor's side and serve the emperor! Yuwen said sincerely.
"What you say makes sense! At that time, Yuwenhu controlled the government, and the ministers in order to protect themselves, even if they were very unwilling in their hearts, they had to pretend to be respectful to him on the surface, and they would be persecuted if they disobeyed. Then who is this Master Sanzang you just mentioned? Yu Wenyong became interested in the extremely smart and scheming monk that his brother said.
"Master Sanzang is just a little monk who is only sixteen years old! According to the princess, she was hunting in Swallow Mountain, and suddenly encountered a sneak attack by the thieves of Qi State, and the entourage and guards were all killed by the thieves, at this critical moment, the master of Sanzang came to the rescue, and rescued the princess in the hands of the murderous thieves, but unfortunately was injured, in order to escape the pursuit of these thieves, the two hid around in Swallow Mountain, and finally arrived in time by the younger brothers, only to say that this group of thieves was eliminated in one fell swoop, and saved the two of them! And this master Sanzang told us that he has followed his master to the famous monasteries of all countries in the world since he was a child, visited many famous masters, and got the guidance of these masters, so he is young but the Dharma is profound, and he has gone to more places, and he has seen more people and things, so he has also seen the situation of the court of Zhou, Qi and Chen and the Three Kingdoms very thoroughly, and knows it well! Yuwen said admiringly.
"This group of Qi thieves entrenched on the border between Zhou and Qi has long heard of it! He could save the princess from such a fierce thief with his own strength, such a powerful person, he was only sixteen years old? Sixteen-year-old genius? According to the intelligence sent back by the spies, some time ago, Xiao Shilang, the genius young general of the Chen State who was defeated by Gao Changgong of the Qi State and disappeared, is only sixteen years old this year! And I heard that this Xiao Shilang has the spell of heaven and earth, wind and fire, and he was able to escape from Luoyang City, which had been surrounded by Gao Changgong like an iron bucket, and he also fled all the way to the west and escaped to the border between Zhou and Qi! You don't think there will be such a coincidence in this world, right? Yu Wenyong said suspiciously.
"The younger brother also suspected that this Sanzang master was Xiao Shilang of Chen State, but he was dressed as a monk, with a pleasant face and a calm heart, and he could casually say those profound Buddhism, that temperament is very different from those generals who have killed countless people on the battlefield and are angry, you must know that I heard that this Xiao Yao beheaded three thousand captured Qi soldiers in a fit of anger for two subordinates in Xuyi County, so that the entire Xuyi County became a river of blood, and the bloody atmosphere was sky-high, such a fierce general, I can't believe that he would be such a high monk as Master Sanzang! Yuwen shook his head and said.
"A person who regards 3,000 lives as a mustard should indeed be a murderous and violent person! Is this master really as you say, peaceful, and profound? Yu Wenyong said suspiciously.
"Yes, when we entered the city today, we were stopped outside the city by Yang Jian, the prince of Suiguo, this Yang Jian even bullied the master Miansheng, wanting to find trouble with the master, the princess was furious and threatened to retaliate against Yang Jian, but was dissuaded by the master and let Yang Jian go! Then in the Fuying Zen Temple, he was humiliated in public by the old monk Zhixuan, and refused the master to step into the Zen Academy, and the master did not care, and he thought about others everywhere, and did not go to other temples to place orders, but took the initiative to go to Yang Jian's Suiguo Mansion to spend the night! Yuwen remembered that Xiao Yao had been rejected just now, and his face couldn't help but show an expression of injustice for Xiao Yao.
"What? Yang Jian is looking for trouble with this Sanzang master? This master is still going to stay in Yang Jian's Suiguo Mansion? Isn't this tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? Yu Wenyong said in surprise.
"This should be the performance of the master's broad-mindedness and disregard of previous suspicions! Master Sanzang said that it was precisely because of some unhappiness with Yang Jian that the princess was dissatisfied with Yang Jian, and with the current Yuwenhu favor for the princess, those who slipped around and patted the horse would definitely attack Yang Jian in order to please Yuwenhu, so the master took the initiative to spend the night in Suiguo Mansion in advance in order to remove trouble for Yang Jian! Yuwen thought of Yang Jian's deflated appearance, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Haha, spend the night in Yang Jian's shabby and dilapidated Suiguo Mansion? I heard that Yang Jian's family has a large population, do they still have a room for this master to live in? And Yang Jian is famous for picking on the door and saving, even his mother refuses to put a birthday banquet on her birthday, and invites guests, this time the master of the family comes to the door, he won't really invite people to eat those coarse tea and light rice, right? Hearing that Xiao Yao was staying at Yang Jian's house, Yu Wenyong was also amused, and it is conceivable that this Yang Jian is famous for picking the door in Chang'an.
"With this scheming Master Sanzang joining us, our chances of successfully eradicating Yuwenhu are greatly increased, so now we should think of a way to avoid those Yuwenhu watching us, and then meet with this master, and then plan how to deal with Yuwenhu! And since the emperor has doubts about the identity of the master, we can also take the opportunity to find out his details! Yuwenzhi suggested.
"That's right, such a talent must be used by me! Didn't you just say that this monk Zhixuan of Fuying Monastery humiliated this master of Sanzang in public? This old monk Zhixuan, relying on his boastful mouth, has won several debates of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, so that I have never been able to attack these monks! Hmph, it is clear that they can't move Buddhism, so we will come to Yin this time, and I will be willful once, using the excuse of helping Minmin to get angry and currying favor with Yuwenhu, send troops to surround this Fuying Zen Temple, and then we will ask this Sanzang master to swagger into the Fuying Zen Temple, and finally take the opportunity to talk to the master in detail! Yu Wenyong sneered. Let's read the book
So, early the next morning, Yu Wenyong casually found an excuse, saying that the Fuying Monastery did not do a good job of preparing for the year-end worship for the royal family, and then brought a small detachment that he had managed to win over in the forbidden army of the palace, personally led the troops out of the palace, surrounded the Fuying Monastery, and detained all the monks inside.
The monks who were suddenly in trouble were all stunned, and they didn't know why the emperor suddenly led troops to surround them, you must know that the year-end worship event was also an order issued a few days ago, and of course it is impossible to prepare now! Only the monk Zhixuan has been chanting Buddha in a low voice, allowing the officers and soldiers to take them aside, because he knows that the emperor has long looked at them these monks unpleasantly, and he refused to let the obviously politically colored Sanzang monk enter the Fuying Monastery, just to let the emperor find no reason to attack the Fuying Monastery, but he didn't expect the disaster to come so quickly, but it is still two official words, the emperor said that what mistake was made is what mistake was made, and he didn't give any affection!
After Yu Wenyong surrounded the Fuying Monastery, he took all the monks aside, and he was not prepared to summon this famous Zhixuan monk at all, nor was he prepared to listen to their explanations, because this was originally a crime against the Fuying Monastery!
After Yuwen Zhigang commanded the soldiers to isolate all the idle people, Yuwen Min had already brought Xiao Yao in.
After hearing Xiao Yao's proverb that it is better to ask for others than to seek oneself, Yu Wenyong was also attracted by the young and smiling little monk in front of him, because in the morning, someone reported to him that last night he held a banquet in the Suiguo Mansion and ceremoniously entertained the little monk, and this morning he also did the good deed of giving steamed buns, this monk only lived in the Suiguo Mansion for one night, and let Yang Jian, who is famous for slamming the door, do such an extravagant and wasteful thing, so that everyone else was dumbfounded.
"Good, good, the reason why General Yang made such a good deed is actually just to listen to the little monk's words of good causes and good results, and want to accumulate virtue for his children, so that the Buddha can bless the children of the Yang family to get ahead!" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Really? I heard that at last night's banquet, the master also looked at Yang Jian's daughter, saying that this woman is Wangfu Yizi, the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix, and she will definitely be able to become the queen in the future! Haha, does the master want to be a matchmaker for my prince? Yu Wenyong said with a smile.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, his heart was shocked, he couldn't think of what he said at the Yang family's family banquet last night, Yu Wenyong already knew it today, it seems that his current power is also developing well, and the news is already so well-informed!
"Why not say goodbye to the prince?" Xiao Yao asked rhetorically, then smiled, clasped his palms and said, "The so-called fair lady, good gentleman!" Although this Miss Yang is young, she already has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and she is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and will definitely be a good wife in the future! And he was born in a famous family, and after being loyal to the martyrs, she is the daughter of General Yang, and she is the right match with His Royal Highness the Prince! For the emperor, the most important thing is that she is surnamed Yang! ”
"Her surname is Yang? Although Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, the Duke of Suiguo, is the founding father of our Great Zhou Dynasty and has made great achievements for our Great Zhou, but looking at the entire Chang'an City, Yang Jian, a hereditary Suiguo Gong, has prestige and strength, and there are many famous nobles who have strength, and these families are still strong, why don't I win them over and choose the crown princess among these nobles, and choose Yang Jian, a powerless and powerless down-and-out Suiguo Gong, to be the in-laws? Yu Wenyong looked at Xiao Yao meaningfully and said.
"Looking at the entire Chang'an City, in terms of family wealth and power, there are indeed many families who are hundreds of times better than General Yang! But I believe that what the emperor cares about is not these, what the emperor cares about most should be their attitude, the attitude towards the emperor! Otherwise, now that the crown prince is thirteen years old, the emperor has not yet decided on the candidate for the crown princess for him! Xiao Yao smiled with an unfathomable look.
"Attitude? What attitude? If these families knew that their daughter could become the crown princess, their attitude towards the emperor would definitely be respectful, what does this have to do with letting Yang Jian's daughter be the crown princess! Born in such a shabby and dilapidated Suiguo Mansion, what qualifications does she have to be the crown princess! Yu Wenmin said very unhappily, because of her resentment towards Dugu Jialuo, she didn't have a good impression of Dugu Jialuo's children, and now she heard that Xiao Yao actually said goodbye to the prince and let Yang Lihua become the crown princess, and she will become the queen in the future, which can't help but remind Yu Wenmin that her mother is the queen of Yuwen Yu, who was killed by Dugu Jialuo's sister!
"This attitude is that when Yuwen is in power and opposition, covering the sky with one hand, he is still unwilling to give in, and he is still loyal to the emperor! Looking at the entire Chang'an City, only Yang Jian dares to have this courage! Last night in the Suiguo Mansion overnight, the little monk found that although this Yang Jian was bent on reviving the former glory of their Yang family, but he still refused to bow to Yuwenhu, even if he was excluded and suppressed by Yuwenhu everywhere, and he did not get promoted for eight years, he still stood firm and refused to go along with the dirt, with such endurance, this Yang Jian will definitely be able to soar into the sky in the future and become the emperor's right-hand man! And if the emperor chooses Yang Jian's daughter as the crown princess, it is equivalent to telling the world that as long as he is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, no matter what his background is and what his family background is, he can still be appreciated and reused by the emperor, and he can be the emperor's in-laws! Xiao Yao analyzed.
"That's right! The master really saw it thoroughly! Now the reason why I have not chosen the candidate for the crown princess is nothing more than to see the faces of these wealthy families, but it is a pity that they are all grass on the wall, when Yuwenhu is in power, they are all trying their best to convince him, and now what I need most is indeed someone who is loyal to me! Yu Wenyong nodded and said.
"But isn't it too early to talk about the crown princess? You must know that now above the court, Yuwenhu is still in power, if I choose Yang Jian's daughter Yang Lihua as the crown princess, with Yuwenhu's attitude towards Yang Jian's suppression and exclusion, he will definitely oppose it! I wonder if the master has any good solution to the problem? Yu Wenyong looked at Xiao Yao with a smile on his face, and said knowingly.
"Haha, Amitabha, good and good, in fact, in the eyes of the little monk, Yuwenhu has already died!" Xiao Yao said the most arrogant and cruel words with the most harmless expression and the most gentle and calm tone!
