Chapter 11 Fragrant and Sweet Yu Shiji
The news of Yuwenshu's dismissal from the post of general of the Xiaoguo Army spread as quickly as a long leg, which made the courtiers of Jiangdu City begin to become restless. After all, after Yang Guang dismissed Yuwenshu from the post of general, he would definitely purge a group of Yuwenshu's henchmen, so wouldn't there be a large number of vacant official positions?
At this time, Yu Shiji, who was the first favorite of Emperor Yang Guang, naturally became a sweet spot in the eyes of the ministers. Yu Shiji was born in the Jiangnan Shi clan, outstanding literary talents, good at calligraphy, very good at figuring out Yang Guang's thoughts, quite valued by Yang Guang, the official award of the internal history of the Lang, and Niu Hong, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu and other six people to participate in the election of officials, the people of the time called it "the election of Cao Qigui".
Among these seven people, only Yu Shiji has the right to be arbitrary, and he alone has the final say in the appointment and dismissal of officials. Yu Shiji took the opportunity to make a lot of money, sold his official position and sold his lordship, which caused resentment to boil, but Yang Guang turned a deaf ear to this. According to his words, it is a small problem for officials to be greedy, as long as he can do good things for me!
Therefore, after Yu Wenshu was dismissed from the post of general of the Xiaoguo Army this time, many officials and eunuchs went to visit Yu Shiji with heavy money, hoping to find an official position for their children in the Xiaoguo Army.
Yu Shiji did not refuse to come, and received nearly 120,000 yuan in one day, as well as a lot of interesting utensils, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver utensils.
It was getting dark, and Yu Shiji took another business, that is, Yu Wenshu asked himself to give his eldest son Yu Wenhua and earn a place among the top ten generals of the Xiaoguo Army. This made Yu Shiji quite surprised, after all, the Xiaoguo Army was divided into armies, and Yang Guang made a decision to set up ten generals only yesterday, and he didn't expect Yu Wenshu to know so quickly. But soon Yu Shiji put this question behind him, because the conditions given by Yu Wenshu were too attractive to him!
"30,000 taels of gold, plus a genuine calligraphy and painting of the Jin Dynasty's Wang Youjun, what do you think, Lord Yu?" Yu Wenshu smiled slightly, and looked at Yu Shiji with squinted eyes.
Yu Shiji's eyes were about to pop out, he was also from a calligraphy family, and he knew the rarity of Wang Xizhi's authentic handwritings, plus 30,000 taels of gold, all of which made him unable to refuse Yuwenshu, he immediately happily said: "Xu Guogong is polite, with my relationship with you, even if you don't come today, I will recommend Huaji, you can rest assured about this matter!" β
Yu Wenshu smiled and said: "Then thank you Lord Yu, if this matter is successful, the old man will be thanked!" β
Yu Shiji also smiled and said: "Xu Guogong can rest assured, with his ability to transform and add your prestige, Boss, it is not a problem to be in charge of tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops, and I think Your Majesty will agree." β
"Hehehe, then thank you Lord Yu for your care. The old man won't disturb Lord Yu's rest, so he will leave first! β
With Yu Shiji's assurance, Yu Wenshu was also a lot more relieved, and immediately got up to say goodbye. Yu Shiji has been sending Yuwen and his son out of the gate, and the two of them pretended to be polite, Yuwenshu got into the carriage and took Yu Wenhua and a cadre to leave.
After sending away Yuwenshu and his son, Yu Shiji turned around and was about to go home, but he heard a sudden call from behind, "Brother, stay here, the foolish brother has something to come to visit!" β
Yu Shiji turned his head curiously, but when he saw his distant cousin Yu Yunwen, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked Yu Yunwen: "Aren't you a long history in King Zhao's Mansion, why did you come to me?" β
Yu Yunwen bowed, lowered his voice and said, "Brother, it was His Royal Highness King Zhao who asked the foolish brother to come to you!" β
Yu Shiji was taken aback, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and hurriedly pulled Yu Yunwen into the mansion.

The two brothers entered the guest hall and sat down separately, and Yu Yunwen did not beat around the bush, and showed his intention straight to the point.
After listening to what his brother said, Yu Shiji picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Zhao to covet the military power of the Xiaoguo Army, but I don't know what benefits I will have?" β
Yu Yunwen smiled slightly, "Brother, your willingness to help His Royal Highness King Zhao today is actually saving your own life, isn't this benefit big enough?" β
Yu Shiji was secretly surprised in his heart, and said calmly: "Joke, I, Yu Shiji, am now the number one celebrity in front of His Majesty, if you want the wind and the rain, why worry about your life?" β
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yu Yunwen's mouth, and he said with a smile: "Brother is indeed beautiful now, but if the younger brother is not mistaken, now His Majesty has handed over most of the government affairs to His Royal Highness King Yan to take care of, and His Royal Highness King Yan has rejected his brother ten times in a row within three days!" β
Yu Shiji was told that he was in his heart, and his face turned pale. Yu Yunwen said what was on his mind, Yang Guang's energy is not as good as before, except for major matters such as Xiaoguo's military power and local military and political affairs, he handed over many things to his eldest grandson, Yang Qi. And Yang Qi was obviously very dissatisfied with himself, and the ten folds he submitted within three days were all rejected by Yang Qi for one reason or another.
Although these are all trivial things, but this more or less shows Yang Qi's attitude towards himself, if he really doesn't hate himself, then why find fault with these inconsequential little things, this is obviously to wear his own little shoes!
Yu Shiji glanced at his cousin sitting on the side again, but saw that he was looking at him with a smile, and suddenly realized, stepped forward and closed the door, and said to Yu Yunwen in a low voice: "Is it possible. . . His Royal Highness King Zhao also thinks... β
Yu Yunwen quietly picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said lightly: "Brother, there are some things that you and my brother are still rotten in the stomach, but I believe that if my brother is willing to help, in the future, it will definitely be infinitely beautiful!" β
Yu Shiji pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you go back and tell His Royal Highness King Zhao, this matter will be covered by me, and as long as His Royal Highness King Zhao orders in the future, Shiji will definitely help!" β
Yu Yunwen smiled and said: "Then there is Brother Lao, the foolish brother is looking forward to the day when he will be a minister in the same palace with his brother!" β
Yu Shiji also smiled, "Brother Fool is also looking forward to that day!" β
The two brothers chatted for a long time, and only when the sky was completely dark, Yu Yunwen got up to say goodbye, and Yu Shiji kept sending him out of the door.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγ
At dawn the next day, Yu Shiji was summoned to enter the palace, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Yang Tan, the king of Yan, coming towards him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Weichen Yu Shiji sees His Royal Highness the King of Yan!" β
Yang Qi didn't even look at Yu Shiji, snorted angrily and walked past Yu Shiji. When Yang Qi walked away, Yu Shiji slowly straightened his waist, squinted at Yang Qi who was far away, and shook his head helplessly.
Yang Qi has been taught by Yang Guang for so long, he can't even control his emotions, and his dissatisfaction with people is completely portrayed on his face, how can such a naΓ―ve person become a generation of emperors!
Yu Shiji finally made up his mind at this moment, he must do his best to help Yang Gao, otherwise once Yang Qi ascends the throne, he will kill himself to vent his hatred!
