Chapter 61: The clouds are thick
In early August, the rebellion launched by Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, was put down by the imperial court, to the relief of supporters of Yang Jian, the prime minister of the left, and then the little emperor Yuwen expounded an edict to remove Yang Jian, the duke of Sui, from the post of left prime minister, and removed the Han king Yuwen Zan from the right prime minister.
Appointed Han King Yuwenzan as the Taishi, and appointed Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, as the prime minister, to supervise the Chinese and foreign military!
Subsequently, Prime Minister Yang Jian began a series of personnel adjustments to firmly hold the power of the imperial court in his hands, and the Yuwen clan, who had always been drunk and dreaming of death, began to feel that the situation was not good.
So they wanted to make a move, and Gongyu Wenwen, one of the non-clansmen, took the opportunity to take action.
"Brother, little brother, this is really a bad year, please ask my brother to be pitiful, little brother doesn't even have a son now!"
In the wing room of a wine shop, Yuwen Wenzheng, who had weak arms, complained to his eldest brother and Prime Minister Shi Zhengyi with grief, and prepared a lot of money to buy the technical services of the 'conscience of the industry' to transfer him out of the palace.
His rhetoric is that the years are not good, and he wants to find a stable position to avoid, similar to Bi Ma Wen and other positions that are idle to fight flies all day long, as long as there is no risk, even if the salary is low.
Yu Wenwen felt that it was dangerous to get close to the Empress Dowager Yang Lihua, thinking that this cold and noble royal sister was squinting at Danfeng's eyes, lighting candles, holding a leather whip, sitting in the palace and waiting for him to go back and lick his toes, so he decided to find a way to get rid of this tragic fate.
The soul is faint, there is only one life, who wants to risk their lives to be entangled with Yang Beauty!
Zheng Yi looked at the 'meaning and meaning' presented by Yuwen Fifteen's hands, and his face was painful, and after being entangled for a long time, he burst into tears and pushed this 'Ah Block' away: "Brother, it's not that my brother won't help you, this prime minister appreciates my brother very much!" ”
Yuwen Wen was stunned when he heard this, Zheng Yi twisted his beard and said: "It's not a secret, my brother saved the queen mother and the princess this time, and the prime minister's wife is very grateful." ”
'Gratitude? Mrs. Dugu, what are you grateful to me for? Yuwen Wen's heart is like a knife, "Lao Tzu is a scumbag who is ready to take countless concubines, don't be deceived by me!" ’
Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, is not only now, but also a famous 'strict wife' in history, and his wife Dugu Jialuo is a 'monogamous and concubineless' activist, and the method of distinguishing a man's character in the eyes of Dugu is very simple:
If you take a concubine, you are a scumbag, and if you don't take a concubine, you are a good person.
At the end of February, what 'Sunset County Prince' Yu Wenwen's wife Yu Chi was taken away and his whereabouts are unknown, Yu Wenwen doesn't know how many jokes he made in order to find his wife, but he is still persistent, and he has not seen rumors that he has accepted a new love, in Dugu Jialuo's opinion, Yu Wenwen is a good person.
Dugu Jialuo's eldest daughter Yang Lihua has been married to Yu Wenyun, who was still the prince at the time, as the crown princess seven years ago, and it didn't take long for the good life to be snubbed by the bastard boy.
The bastard son-in-law died early and was born early, and his daughter was widowed, and now the 'good man' Yuwen Wen has saved his daughter and granddaughter regardless of his life, how can she, a mother and grandmother, not say a word for the 'good person'?
Yang Jian decided to reward Yu Wenwen under the 'care' of his wife Dugu Jialuo, after all, his daughter is not only a daughter, but also the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, how can she not be rewarded? Don't reward anyone for kneeling on the washboard for me!
So Yu Wenwen moved into the mansion, gave a number of thank-you gifts to the servants, and then continued to be the little Zuo Gongbo who didn't do anything after his arm injuries healed.
"Brother, if it's not my brother, I won't help, this prime minister's wife is no, no, the things set by the prime minister can't be changed." Zheng Yi rarely does not accept 'meaning'
, he knows that things can't be done, and he doesn't want to ruin his 'reputation'.
"Then it's okay to wait for the little brother to recover from his injury and then return to work, right?"
"Of course, this injury can't be healed in a day or two, my brother can recuperate at home with peace of mind, and he can go to the palace to be on duty next month!"
Yuwen Wen sent away Zheng Yi, who undertook the business 'attempt', sighed and led Yuwen 15 back to his new home, Prime Minister Yang generously sent the house and servants, and the relevant daily necessities were all available, but he and a dry minions could be said to be moving in with their bags.
Yuwen 15 is the housekeeper, Lin Youdi is the 'confidential officer', Zhang Yu is the head of the hospital, and Huang Aqi is the porter.
Yes, it is the Huang Aqi who betrayed Yuwenwen once, a few days ago, Lin Youdi got permission from Lord Lang to visit relatives and happened to save Huang Aqi who was beaten by loan sharks, and Lin Youdi's godmother, Huang Aqi's mother Chen, died of illness.
It turned out that since Yu Wenwen left Chang'an for Anlu with his family and a team in early April, the old housekeeper waited for about a month to sell the Xiyang County Mansion according to the instructions of Lord Lang, and the proceeds were used to dismiss the servants in the mansion.
The suburban courtyard where Huang Aqi's mother and son temporarily lived was also dealt with, and Yu Wenwen, the servant who had betrayed his master, could not use it with confidence, so the old housekeeper gave Huang Aqi a sum of money to make a living on his own.
Huang Aqi's mother, Chen's condition, was relieved during her temporary stay in another hospital, and she was relatively stable a month before she moved to Chang'an City again, but her condition deteriorated again since the beginning of the summer, and Huang Aqi spent all her savings and did not improve.
Seeing that his mother's condition was deteriorating and he couldn't bear it, he went to the gambling house to pay a huge gambling debt, not only did he have no money to treat his mother, but he was often called by creditors.
The gambling house is an industry under the name of the Puyang County Mansion, which is managed by Erlang Junyu Wenzhi and He, he is known for his ruthlessness and impersonalness, Huang Aqi has no good fruit to eat if he gets provoked, and every time those people come to collect debts, they beat him half to death.
The small courtyard that was originally bought with the money given by the old housekeeper was also sold by Huang Aqi and lived with a family, Chen's condition deteriorated more and more, and he saw his son being beaten every day for his gambling debts.
Lin Youdi spent all his savings and buried the Chen family with Huang Aqi, Yuwen 15 and Zhang Yu also contributed a lot of money to help, although it was said that good brothers did not need to pay it back, but Lin Youdi still solemnly promised to pay it off in the future.
Seeing that the little Huang Aqi was dead, and the old lady owed a lot of debts and had no money, Lin Youdi wanted to ask the lord of Lang Yuwen to reward him with food, but the most important thing was that Yuwen Zhi didn't dare to come to the door to collect the debt, so that Huang Aqi could escape.
A few days ago, after Lin Youdi solemnly made a guarantee, Yuwen Wen asked Huang Aqi to be the porter, three meals a day, a full place to sleep, and did not worry about being called by the creditor to collect debts, Yuwen Fifteen, Lin Youdi took Huang Aqi to the gambling house to 'talk about the number' to repay the principal of the gambling debt owed at one time, of course, on the condition that Lin Youdi advance the salary for the next few years.
Yuwen Wen happened to meet Huang Aqi when he passed by the gate, and when he saw him bowing his head and cowering, he smiled slightly: "Since there is land to help you as a guarantee, you can do things in the mansion well, and don't think about the past anymore." ”
"Yes, Lord Lang." Huang Aqi lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.
After going around the house, Yuwen Wen asked Yuwen Fifteen to stay and take care of various affairs, and then took Zhang Yu out of the door, Huang Aqi asked respectfully: "Where are you going, Lord Lang?" ”
"As the saying goes, 'thousands of flowers have passed through, and the leaves do not stick to the body'." Yuwen Wen shook off the folding fan and shook it and walked out of the door, "There are so many beautiful ladies in Chang'an Lefang, even if you don't pick them, it's good to take a look." ”
Yu Wenwen took Zhang Yu around Chang'an Avenue and walked around to an alley, and he asked Zhang Yu to let the wind out and flash into a yard by himself.
"County Lord, everything entrusted has been arranged."
In the hut in the courtyard, Yang Ji, the 'Loyal Soul of the Ming Dynasty', put several special crotch (vests) in front of Yu Wenwen, and the crotch was decorated with an iron plate on the front and back, which looked like a cuirass.
"Where's the knife?"
"Here." Yang Ji took out a few long knives with sheaths, which were well-made, but they looked very brand new and should be newly built.
Yu Wenwen took out a knife and took it in his hand to look at it carefully, the newly sharpened blade emitted a cold light, he weighed the weight, then stood up and waved the knife a few times to put it into the sheath: "Good knife." ”
"The county lord, there is something unknown below."
"Speak."
"Is it reliable?" Yang Ji's face was solemn, but he only said these three words.
"Unreliable." Yu Wenwen knew what he was asking.
"Is it worth it?" Yang Ji looked puzzled.
"It's worth it."
Yang Ji and Yu Wenwen looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "Since the county prince has made a decision, he won't say much." ”
"How are they?"
"Ready to move." Yang Ji looked disdainful.
"What about the days?"
"It's coming." Yang Ji said with great certainty.
"Just do as promised."
"The county magistrate, there is still something I don't understand, and I ask the county magistrate to explain your doubts." Yang Ji's face became solemn, "Why did the county prince personally go into battle?" ”
Yuwen Wen looked at Yang Ji when he heard this, and smiled slightly: "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention what capital does this father have so big?" ”
"But" Yang Ji wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak.
"Do you want to say that it doesn't make a difference whether my father's arms are weak or not." Yu Wenwen smiled self-deprecatingly, and then restrained his smile: "My father once heard a sentence and thought it was very reasonable, so I shared it with Brother Yang." ”
Yang Ji traveled to this era from the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuwen Wen (Yu Wen) claimed to be Yuwen Wen, who was killed in his previous life, and was 'reborn' to this era again after a thousand years, so for this era, both of them are 'thousand-year-old demons', and they have sympathy for each other.
Yang Ji was twenty-five years old when he was martyred in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Yu Wen was twenty-four years old when he crossed over from the twenty-first century, so he took it for granted that he called Yang Ji Brother Yang.
Seeing Yang Ji sitting upright, he coughed lightly and said, "There will be a heart of death, and there is no greed for life." ”
After listening to Yang Ji's muttering and repeating it a few times, his eyes lit up, and he got up and said, "I've been taught below." ”
"A bunch of servants in this father's mansion are mostly ears and eyes, and they have a headache, you will carefully review whether the plan is proper in the past few days, and if there are flaws, you can repair them yourself."
Seeing Yang Ji nodded, Yuwen Wen got up and walked out of the window, looked in a certain direction and muttered to himself: "I must do this hidden task myself!" ”
