Chapter 277: Yuwenhu's Thunder Method

When the ministers objected to Yuwenhu's proposal and asked Jin to crown his son Yuwenzhi as the general of the Zhu State, it meant that the relationship between Yuwenhu's camp and Yuwenyong's camp was completely broken!

Therefore, Yuwenhu has decided to carry out another major purge of the court of Zhou, and after killing all those who are disobedient, he will depose the emperor again, and then this time he will no longer find Yuwentai's son to replace him, but ascend the throne himself and become the emperor of Zhou!

After Yuwenhu made the decision to force the palace, he immediately started to act!

On the first day of the second month, Zhou sent an envoy Li Bin to Qi to negotiate a truce between the two countries, and Yuwenhu also took this opportunity to suddenly send his son Yuwenshen to envoy to the Turks, because the reason used by Yuwenhu was to bring Zhou and the Turks closer and promote the development of trade between the two countries, so Yuwenyong and the Manchu ministers could not object! But in fact, Yuwenshen took the secret mission given by his father to test the tone of the Turkic Great Khan and win their support for Yuwenhu, and when Yuwenhu launched a coup d'Γ©tat and ascended to the throne of Zhou, the Turks would immediately recognize Yuwenhu as the emperor of Zhou, and even if anything unexpected happened, the Turks would send troops to help!

On February 13, Yuwenhu swung the butcher's knife at his first target, and he had always opposed Yuwenhu in the imperial court, the general of the Zhuguo State of Zhou, An Yi Gong Yuwenqiu! Yuwenqiu is a side branch of the Yuwen royal family, and in his early years, he followed Yuwentai to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions. Because of the blood proximity, he is not as good as Yuwen Hu, who is Yuwen Tai's nephew, so when Yuwen Tai was supporting Gu before he died, he couldn't win Yuwen Hu, causing the military and political power to fall into the hands of Yuwen Hu!

As Yuwenhu's power grew, his sons and subordinates were all pretty, greedy, cruel, and wanton, making the soldiers and the people deeply disgusted with them! Therefore, those who were persecuted by Yuwenhu and who were not accustomed to Yuwenhu's power tilted towards the government and the opposition all formed a camp against Yuwenhu on their own, and Yuwenqiu, who had similar qualifications to Yuwenhu, became the backbone of this camp.

If Yuwenyong wants to eradicate Yuwenhu and regain power, he naturally has to rely on Yuwenqiu's camp; And Yuwenqiu wants to fight against Yuwenhu's camp, so naturally they have to stand on Yuwenyong's side, using Yuwenyong's identity as Emperor Yuwenyong to increase the appeal and legitimacy of their camp.

On that day, it was this Yuwenqiu who took the lead in a silent way to oppose Yuwenhu's proposal to promote Yuwenzhi to the general of the Zhuguo Kingdom, and humiliated Yuwenhu fiercely, making him suffer a big loss!

Just when Yuwenyong and Yuwenqiu were secretly rejoicing at the success of this attack on Yuwenhu's arrogance, Yuwenhu took a decisive shot at Yuwenqiu with the momentum of thunder, so he randomly found a charge of corruption for Yuwenqiu, and then let his son Yuwenzhi lead the palace forbidden army, suddenly surrounded Yuwenqiu's mansion, and without any evidence and arrest documents in his hands, he openly and illegally broke into the mansion of a general of the Pillar Kingdom, and went in to arrest Yuwenqiu!

When Yuwenyong knew about this, Yuwenqiu had already been beheaded by Yuwenhu on the spot and beheaded in public!

Sure enough, when he heard that Yu Wenqiu, a high-ranking and powerful general of the Pillar Kingdom, was taken down by Yuwen Hu without a sound, and said that he would kill him, Yu Wenyong and everyone in his camp were scared stupid: How could this be? Isn't your own camp already dominating? Last time, we successfully blocked Yu Wenzhi's proposal to be promoted, why was Yu Wenqiu, the leader level on our side, suddenly killed? How come we don't know at all that Yuwendo will make a move, and even if we know that Yuwendo will make a move, we don't seem to have the ability to stop Yuwento's action!

Yuwenhu's bloody actions suddenly pulled those blindly optimistic people back to the cruel reality: even if Yuwenhu's reputation was greatly reduced because of the Yiyang War, he was still the Otsuka Zai of the Zhou State, and he still held the military and political power of the Zhou State! Those key positions in the court of the Zhou State are still held by Yu Wenhu's henchmen and cronies! Just like this sudden action, the palace forbidden army led by Yu Wenzhi was used, a forbidden army responsible for protecting the security of the palace, and was actually transferred to arrest Yu Wenqiu, and Yu Wenyong, as the emperor, didn't even know it!

As the general of the Zhu Kingdom, Yuwenqiu was taken by surprise by Yuwenhu, mercilessly, and easily solved, Yuwenhu's butcher's knife did not stop, but continued to swing to other targets, several high-ranking officials of the Zhou court who had been following Yuwenqiu against Yuwenhu were arrested by Yuwenhu on various charges, and then escorted to the market to be beheaded in public, the bloody scene made the entire Chang'an City fall into a panic, no one would have thought that just after the festive New Year, Yuwenhu staged such a bloody picture for everyone!

After Yuwenhu easily solved a few political enemies, he had already smashed the psychological defense line of those ministers standing in Yuwenyong's camp, and everyone became self-endangered, and at the routine court meeting, he didn't dare to look at Yuwenhu with an arrogant face, and his attitude became more obedient, no matter what suggestions Yuwenhu put forward, no one dared to object!

And Yuwenyong faced Yuwenhu's sudden attack, on the surface, he was still pretending to be stupid, and he didn't dare to stand up for those ministers, questioning the charges imposed on them by Yuwenhu, so he could only be a puppet honestly, no matter what Yuwenhu said, he would do anything, only responsible for signing and stamping those decrees, but in his heart he was already anxious, so anxious that he was about to shed tears!

Originally, he was going to make a sudden attack on Yuwenhu and kill him by surprise, but now he was caught off guard by Yuwenhu and killed himself, watching the people around him be cleared by Yuwenhu one by one, but Yuwenyong was powerless! Even he had doubts about his future, thinking that he was already Yuwenhu's in Zhou Kingdom, and he would be like the two elder brothers, and he would be abolished and killed by Yuwenhu when the time came!

The small temple where Yuwenmin and Xiao Yao had a tryst, an uninvited guest came today, it was Weiguo Gong Yu Wenzhi, and now the development of the situation in Chang'an City has exceeded Yuwen Yong's expectations, making them a little at a loss, so deep in the palace, Yu Wenyong, who is inconvenient to show up, immediately found Yu Wenzhi and asked him to find the Sanzang monk who promised to assist them in eradicating Yu Wenzhi, and discuss how to deal with the current difficulty.

"Master Sanzang, haven't you thought of a way to deal with Yuwenzhi? Now that Yuwenhu has made a move, the people on our side can only wait for death, and they have no ability to fight back at all! Fortunately, I have not expressed my opposition to Yuwenhu, so that they still think that I am from their side, and since I am still the nominal commander of the 30,000 troops stationed in the Bahe camp, I am afraid that Yuwenhu will also attack me and take back the military power! And fortunately, His Majesty has never shown any dissatisfaction with Yuwenhu, so Yuwenhu can't find any excuse to attack His Majesty, I'm afraid that His Majesty has already been poisoned by Yuwenhu! Yuwen looked directly at Xiao Yao and said nervously.

"Now Yuwenhu is killing in Chang'an City again, scaring those ministers who oppose him to the heartbreak, I believe they don't want to sit still, I heard that they have raised a group of private soldiers and dead, and there are quite a few of them, why don't we unite them, plus Uncle Huang, you are still the commander of the 30,000 army, plus the patrol battalion of Yangjian, I think we have the strength to fight to the death with Yuwenhu!" Yu Wenmin suggested that although she is a woman, she also has the temperament of a heroine among women, and she feels that in the face of Yuwenhu's aggressiveness, she can't sit still, and she must unite to resist and fight hard with Yuwenhu.

"I have also discussed this method with Your Majesty, but it is a dead end, and it will not work at all! The 30,000 Imperial Palace Forbidden Army led by Yu Wenzhi are all the elite of the army, and the 30,000 soldiers I command are just a reserve army, and their strength cannot be compared with the Forbidden Army at all! Even with the addition of the patrol battalion and the private soldiers of the ministers, we are still a rabble in front of the forbidden army, and we are not their opponents at all! Yuwen said helplessly.

"The most important thing is that in front of Otsuka Zai Yu Wenhu, who commands all the armies of the Zhou State, these 30,000 reserve troops do not obey the orders of Wei Guogong! If we want to use this reserve army to confront Yuwenhu, then we can only wait for those army generals who are loyal to Yuwenhu to fight back, kill us and ask Yuwenhu for credit! Xiao Yao said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Xiao Yao mercilessly say that he couldn't control this reserve army, Yuwen couldn't hold back a little on his face, and said anxiously with a burning expression on his face: "When is it, the master is still talking here!" Now Yuwenhu has killed a lot of people on our side, and when he kills all those people with prestige, he will take action against His Majesty and abolish His Majesty's position as emperor again, I believe that this time Yuwenhu will no longer pick out a candidate from among our sons of Taizu to take over the throne, but he Yuwenhu himself will ascend the throne and become the emperor of Zhou! And he has also sent his son Yuwenshen to envoy to the Turks, I believe it is also to win over the Turkic Great Khan, so that he can recognize Yuwenhu as the emperor of Zhou at that time! At that time, the wood is already in the boat, the success or failure is decided, and none of us can escape, including you, the master! ”

"Of course the little monk knows the seriousness of the matter! And now is indeed the most critical time! Although Yuwenhu's prestige in the Zhou Kingdom has plummeted, it seems that he has lost the hearts of the people, and everyone opposes it, but he is just a sleeping tiger, and now that his tiger has been woken up by us, things have also developed to the point that either he dies or I die! But the strategy that the princess just said is just a strategy, and it is a strategy that has no chance of winning! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"So Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness Guogong to find a little monk, and I believe that I don't want to use this policy! To put it mildly, if the situation develops to the point where you want to meet each other, even if the prestige of Yuwenhu is greatly reduced now, the prestige and appeal of Your Majesty, the emperor of the Zhou State, will still not be as good as that of Otsuka Zai! Xiao Yao mercilessly exposed Yuwen Yong's shortcomings.

"Now that the master understands, does the master have a clever plan that can turn defeat into victory and eradicate Yuwenhu in one fell swoop?" Yu Wenzhi asked nervously.

"It's still that strategy, separate the two fathers and sons, Yuwenhu and Yuwenzhi, and then break them at the same time, so that we have a chance to win! The reason why Yuwenhu was able to easily solve An Yigong, who was the general of Zhou Guozhu, and several other prominent high-ranking officials who openly opposed Yuwenhu this time, relied on the palace forbidden army in the hands of Yuwenzhi! So as long as we lure Yu Wenzhi out of Chang'an City and separate him from the palace forbidden army, we will have a chance to assassinate Yu Wenzhi! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"But during this time, Yu Wenzhi has been in the palace, staying with the forbidden army every day, eating and living with the soldiers of the forbidden army, and he hasn't returned to the Jin State Mansion for a long time! I believe that they also let Yuwenzhi control this forbidden army at all times for this operation, so Yuwenhu did not succeed for a day, and Yuwenzhi still has to stay in the forbidden army camp every day, and we can't separate Yuwenzhi from the forbidden army at all! Yu Wenmin shook his head and said.

"So we have to wait, wait for an opportunity to lure Yuwenzhi away! Now we must not mess up our positions and startle the snake because the opponent is aggressive, which makes it easier to fall into passivity! Xiao Yao nodded and said.

"Wait? How long do we have to wait? Min Min said that if Yuwenhu does not succeed for a day, Yuwenzhi will always guard the forbidden army, where can we lead Yuwenzhi's opportunity! Now Yuwenhu is dealing with the people on our side, almost one day at a time, and I don't know when it will be our turn! Do we really have to wait until Yuwenhu kills us all, and we don't fight back? Master, you have promised Your Majesty that Yu Wenzhi will be dealt with by you! The master is still smiling, with an absent-minded expression, you won't just talk casually at that time to make Your Majesty happy, right? Yu Wenzhi finally couldn't hold back his anger and said angrily.

"Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger, the more critical the situation, the more calm we must be! What's more, now Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Duke and Her Royal Highness the Princess, including the little monk, and even Yang Jian, who has always been against Yuwenhu, will not have to worry about his life, in fact, Yuwenhu's actions at this stage are just killing chickens and monkeys and deterring those who oppose him, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yuwenhu has not yet reached the time to replace His Majesty! Xiao Yao comforted.

"He's killing people on a killing spree, and the time hasn't come yet, but I believe it's almost there, how many of us have him killed? When he kills all those who oppose him, won't it be a matter of course for him to replace His Majesty? Hearing that there was no need to die, Yuwenzhi's tone softened slightly, but he still had an anxious expression.

"Yuwenhu won't kill everyone, this will only backfire and push more people to our side, so he just kills some people who are against him and have a face! So even Yang Jian will not be in danger, because his little hereditary Suiguo Gong is not qualified enough to let Yuwenhu kill him! And since Yuwenhu wants to be the emperor, then he has killed so many ministers of the court, so he must appease and win over the remaining people, otherwise who will be willing to be his official in the future? So we still have time! In addition, His Royal Highness the Duke and Her Royal Highness the Princess are still from their side in the eyes of Yuwenhu! As for Your Majesty, the little monk had already asked him if he had the consciousness of death that day, and His Majesty nodded without hesitation! So now we have to stand still and wait for an opportunity to hit Yubundo with one blow! Please bear with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Guogong, please believe in the little monk, the little monk will definitely be able to solve Yuwenzhi and create the most favorable conditions for His Majesty to kill Yuwenhu! Xiao Yao said confidently.
