Chapter 258 The master of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger

Since ancient times, the emperor has been one of the most enviable and desirable professions, controlling the life and death of others, enjoying glory and wealth, eating the best food in the world, living in a well-guarded palace, and there are three thousand harem beauties in it, and the beauties of the world are all included!

But the emperor of the Zhou State is a high-risk profession!

Because less than four years after the founding of the Zhou State, there have been three emperors, the first two emperors Yuwenjue and Yuwenyu, both because they wanted to regain the power in the hands of Yuwenhu, but they were all attacked by Yuwenhu first, and even abolished and killed, and they were solved without sitting on the throne! If it weren't for the fact that Yuwenyong, the emperor of the current Zhou State, has always pretended to be crazy and stupid in front of Yuwen Hu, and obeyed his words, I believe that he would be like his two elder brothers, and he would soon become the first emperor of the Zhou State, instead of being the emperor for twelve years now!

Yu Wenyong is the fourth son of Yu Wentai, the ancestor of Zhou Guotai, since he was a child, he is very smart and sensitive, and he is very generous, he knows how to serve his parents to filial piety at a young age, so he is deeply loved by his father Yu Wentai, and often says to others: "This son is most like me, and it must be this son who can realize my ambition in the future." ”

Yuwen Taizu, the Taizu of Zhou, was the minister of Wei, and Emperor Gong of Wei ascended to the throne with the support of Yuwentai, and the military and political power of Wei at this time was in the hands of Yuwentai, but Yuwentai was more cautious by nature and had the strength to usurp the throne, but he did not do it until he died of illness, and he was only the Taishi and Otsuka Zai of Wei.

And before Yuwentai died, his sons were relatively young, and they couldn't suppress the group of army generals who were as fierce as jackals, tigers and leopards, and they were strong and strong, so they could only hand over the power in their hands to their nephew Yuwenhu, who had been fighting with him in the north and south, and was very important!

Sure enough, Yuwenhu was more decisive and ruthless than Yuwentai, and only a year after Yuwentai's death, he followed the example of Gao Yang of Qi State, coerced Emperor Gong of Wei to abdicate, and supported Yuwentai's eldest son Yuwenjue to ascend the throne and establish the State of Zhou!

Yuwen is a hero, and his sons are certainly not vegetarians! Yuwen Jue, who became the emperor with the support of his cousin, has a strong temperament, especially disgusted with Yuwen Hu's autocratic and domineering, and is unwilling to become a puppet emperor, so he secretly united with Otsuka Zai Zhao Gui, Zhu Guo General Yu Jin and Dugu Xin, ready to eradicate Yuwen Hu in one fell swoop and regain power, but because the plan was leaked, Yu Wenhu started in advance, killed these army generals who opposed him, and then abolished Yuwen Jue, who had only been the emperor for a few months, and even poisoned Yuwen Jue in solitary confinement to death, In the end, he supported Yuwentai's eldest son, Yuwenyu, to ascend to the throne.

Yuwenyu, who also relied on the support of his cousin Yuwenhu to ascend to the throne, also has Yuwentai's blood flowing, naturally not a mediocre and incompetent person, he is generous and benevolent, well-read, and looks very weak on the surface, but in fact, he is very sensitive and assertive on the inside!

It's a pity that he still didn't learn the lesson of his younger brother's abolition and killing, and he still showed a very good governing ability in front of Yuwenhu, and even refused to obey Yuwenhu's orders, and fought against Yuwenhu everywhere! When Yuwenhu pretended to propose to return power, Yuwenyu accepted this proposal without hesitation, and began to exercise part of his power to deal with state affairs and carry out reforms, and he also achieved very outstanding results!

Seeing that Yuwenyu is more difficult to control than Yuwenjue, and has excellent governing ability, and his prestige in the Zhou State is also growing day by day, Yuwenhu deeply feels that his position has been seriously threatened, and Yuwenhu, who feels that he has chosen the wrong person to be the emperor, decided to get rid of this emperor who he personally supported again, because although he returned part of the power to Yuwenyu, the military power of the Zhou State is still firmly in the hands of Yuwenhu, with a gun in his hand, his waist is hard, this is an eternal truth!

And although Yuwenyu is against Yuwenhu everywhere, he has never attacked him and forcibly regained power, so Yuwenhu has never been able to find an excuse to launch a mutiny, abolish the emperor and stand on his own. So he could only use the trick of poisoning again, bribed a cook of Yuwenyu, and secretly poisoned Yuwenyu's food, and within half a month, Yuwenyu became critically ill!

Fortunately, Yuwenyu saw through Yuwenhu's trick to take advantage of Yuwenyu's sudden death and replace him, and before he died, in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he dictated the edict and passed the throne to the fourth brother Lu Guogong Yuwenyong! Because it was the edict of the first emperor, Yuwenhu could not change it, and Yuwenyong had always behaved very silently, cowardly and incompetent, which also made Yuwenhu let down his guard and agreed to support this third cousin to ascend to the throne of Zhou!

It has only been four years since the establishment of the Zhou State, and his two elder brothers were supported by his cousin Yuwenhu to ascend to the emperor's throne, but died unexpectedly in a short period of time, the smart Yuwenyong knew that this was definitely not an accident, but Yuwenhu's poisonous hand, but to be able to ascend to the throne that the world dreams of, Yuwenyong will certainly not refuse, because in addition to being smart and ambitious, he is also an actor-level actor, very scheming and patient!

Yuwen Yong, who had just ascended the throne, learned the painful lesson of his two elder brothers, and knew that Yuwen Hu's power in the court had grown up, and it was very powerful, and he couldn't fight with it at all, so Yu Wenyong could only adopt the strategy of Taoguang and obscurity!

Usually he doesn't dare to expose his dissatisfaction with Yuwenhu, and he rarely cares about political affairs, basically he is indifferent, he just blindly hunts and enjoys fun, making Yuwenhu feel that he is just a non-threatening kid!

And Yuwenyong also tried his best to curry favor with Yuwenhu in his daily life, and awarded Yuwenhu as the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, so that he could justifiably grasp and exercise all the powers of the Zhou State openly, and finally let Yuwenhu temporarily let go of the idea of killing the king and usurping the throne again!

And Yuwenyong is a very objective person, he knows that his strength will not be able to shake Yuwenhu in a short period of time, so no matter how the ministers who oppose Yuwenhu at the bottom instigate him, he will not act rashly, because he knows that as long as he takes a wrong step, he will lose everything, not only will he not be able to avenge his brother, but he will not even be able to save his own life at that time!

Liang Guogong of Zhou, Hou Mo Chen Chong, the general of the national pillar, was born and died with Yuwentai in his early years, and made great military achievements, and was a great hero of Zhou, but he was strongly opposed to Yuwenhu's monopoly on the power of the court, and he was Yuwenhu's political enemy, so he stood on the side of Emperor Yuwenyong, and has been instigating Yuwenyong to eradicate Yuwenhu and regain power.

Although he is loyal to the emperor, this Hou Mo Chen Chong is a very superstitious person, and he often divination!

Once, Yu Wenyong took this Liang State Marquis Mo Chen Chong to inspect Yuanzhou together, but he traveled all the way for two days, and arrived in Yuanzhou in the afternoon, his butt was not hot, and he had not drunk a few sips of water, so he strongly asked Yuwen Yong to rush back to Chang'an immediately!

Moreover, Hou Mo Chen Chong also said to Yu Wenyong seriously: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yuanzhou is not suitable for staying for a long time, and we must rush back to Chang'an immediately!" "V3 Academy

Seeing Hou Mo Chen Chong's serious expression, Yu Wenyong, who had always been cautious, was taken aback, and immediately asked nervously, "Liang Guogong, do you think there is anything wrong here?" Do you want me to return to Chang'an immediately, is it because there will be danger here in Yuanzhou, and someone will be unfavorable to me? ”

"It's not, it's just that the old minister calculated a hexagram on the way here, and according to the hexagram, the Gongyu Wenhu of the Jin Kingdom will suddenly die this night! So we have to rush back to Chang'an immediately and take advantage of the opportunity! Hou Mo Chen Chongshen whispered mysteriously.

Divination? Hexagrams? You just threw a few copper coins casually, and asked me to rush back to Chang'an immediately, but you know that this Yuanzhou is more than 600 miles away from Chang'an, and we walked for two days and one night to get here! Yuwenyong, who felt that he was being fooled, was about to burst out and was about to scold Hou Mo Chen Chong, but when he saw that Hou Mo Chen Chong still had a serious and serious expression, he suddenly became interested and wanted to tease this old minister, after all, the entire court is basically Yuwenhu's people now, and there are not many people who dare to stand on his side, so Yuwenyong does not dare to take these ministers who are loyal to him at will.

So he cooperated with Hou Mo Chen Chong, and also pretended to have a serious expression, and said in a low voice: "Liang Guogong, you are divining and divining all day long, so these things, is it accurate and credible?" ”

"Of course it's true! Before every big war, I will count a hexagram, so I can make such a war achievement for the country! Tonight must be the death of Ubunto! Hou Mo Chen Chong said confidently.

Of course, Yu Wenyong, who is cautious, will not believe in these divination and fortune-telling things, and wants me to pin the important matters related to my throne and life on a turtle shell and a few copper coins, and you Hou Mo Chen Chong can also be regarded as the first person! And seeing that Hou Mo Chen Chong still had an expression of confidence and great things can be accomplished, Yu Wenyong couldn't help it, and when he was about to scold him, Yu Wenyong suddenly stopped, and then pretended to be convinced and said: "Okay! Let's rush back to Chang'an immediately! ”

Hearing that even the emperor believed in his divination, Hou Mo Chen Chong was very happy and excited, and immediately went out to arrange for the inspection team to return to Chang'an overnight immediately! Although the inspection team that rushed for two days was dusty and very tired, the emperor asked to rush back to Chang'an immediately, even if everyone's hearts were very confused, but they must also act according to their orders and return to Chang'an immediately!

In fact, Yuwenyong decided to return to Chang'an immediately, not because he believed in Hou Mo Chen Chong's divination and thought that Yuwenhu would suddenly die today, but because he suddenly felt that as a puppet emperor, his net worth and life were in the hands of others, and he could be replaced by Yuwenhu at any time, so he couldn't leave the capital so easily, as long as he stayed in Chang'an and stayed with the ministers in the court at all times, it was the safest!

Because at this time, Yuwenyong has only been the emperor for three years, it can be said that he has not formed his own strength at all, and usually in order to confuse Yuwenhu, he shows a mediocre and incompetent appearance, resulting in no prestige in the hearts of the ministers in the court.

If Yuwenhu took advantage of this time to leave Chang'an to inspect Yuanzhou, and then suddenly launched a coup d'Γ©tat in Chang'an, or if he suddenly had an accident in Yuanzhou, there were three longs and two shorts, then Yuwenhu would be able to ascend to the throne logically, at this time, no one would doubt and oppose Yuwenhu at all, then he had been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the past three years in order to save his life and accumulate strength to deal with Yuwenhu, and his efforts to swallow his anger were in vain!

Yuwenyong led the inspection team to return to Chang'an overnight, out of his own considerations, but Hou Mo Chen Chong believes that this is because the emperor believes in his divination, thinking that Yuwenhu will definitely die today, so along the way, he was complacent, very proud, and also boasted to the people around him: "The emperor suddenly returned to Chang'an, because I divined a hexagram for the emperor, and calculated that Yuwenhu will suddenly die tonight, haha, this Yuwenhu bullied the monarch and monopolized the dynasty, so disloyal and unfilial, there will be a harvest!" ”

As the so-called speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, in this patrol team, there are people from Yuwenhu, so this Hou Mo Chen Chong came out of his mouth and got into trouble!

The inspection team returned to Chang'an, and early the next morning, Yuwenyong convened various ministers to hold a court meeting in the Dade Palace, and Hou Mo Chen Chong, who had been looking around, was even more excited and excited, because he really didn't see Yuwenhu's figure at the court meeting!

"I rushed back to Chang'an from Wonju yesterday, but last night I received a recital from Otsuka Zai Jin Guogong, saying that someone in the court was cursing him, saying that he had a bloody disaster and would die soon! The Duke of Jin is the first hero of our Zhou Kingdom, and he is even more loyal to our Great Zhou, but some of you are disrespectful to him, which is equivalent to disrespect to me and disrespect to Great Zhou! Yu Wenyong said fiercely, and then his eyes always looked at Hou Mo Chen Chong, who was confused, intentionally or unintentionally.

Last night, when Yuwenyong rushed back to Chang'an, he received a recital from Yuwenhu, saying that someone cursed him to die violently, which made Yuwenyong's back bones break out in a cold sweat, and he felt extremely frightened and afraid!

This Yuwenhu is really terrible, what he and Hou Mo Chen Chong said in Yuanzhou, he has just come back, he already knows and has written the note, it can be seen that he has his eyeliner all around him, and he sent the news back to Chang'an early in the morning, it seems that he must be more cautious in the future!

And as we all know, this Hou Mo Chen Chong is Yuwenhu's political enemy, and now he has a rare chance to be caught, of course Yuwenhu will not be polite, and immediately attack Hou Mo Chen Chong.

"The old minister was confused for a while, and he lost his mouth, and he was by no means cursing Otsuka Zai, the old minister apologized to Otsuka Zai, and was willing to be punished, and asked the emperor to condemn him!" Hou Mo and Chen Chong, who were frightened and panicked, immediately knelt down and pleaded for guilt.

In fact, Yuwenyong also wanted to keep this Hou Mo Chen Chong, after all, he was a person from his own side, but cautiously he looked back and thought about it, he listened to his words before ordering to rush back to Chang'an, although he didn't believe in his divination, but in the eyes of others, mainly in the eyes of Yuwenhu, he rushed back to Chang'an because he hoped that Yuwenhu would suddenly die, and now in order to please Yuwenhu, he could only abandon the car and protect the handsome, and pushed Hou Mo Chen Chong out for Yuwenhu to deal with.

"As the minister of Zhou, you must be loyal and patriotic! You must know that the Duke of Jin is the big mound of our Great Zhou, if he has any three longs and two shorts, then our Great Zhou is in danger! Cursing him to death now is tantamount to cursing our Great Zhou to destroy the country! "How serious Yuwenyong is, and then it seems that at a glance at these ministers in the court, most of them are watching coldly, laughing in a low voice, knowing that no one dares to offend Yuwenhu by interceding for Hou Mo Chen Chong, so he shook his head and continued: "I have only been on the throne for three years, and I don't know how to deal with these things, so let's leave them to Otsuka Jae to deal with personally!" ”

Seeing that Yuwenyong had no mercy on this Hou Mo Chen Chong, he kicked him away, and handed over the right to dispose of him to himself, which made Yuwenhu a little angry, and did not point the finger at Yu Wenyong, but that night he sent troops to surround Hou Mo Chen Chong's Zhuguo Mansion, forcing Hou Mo Chen Chong to commit suicide and apologize!
