Chapter Seventy-One: Conspiracy
"Then the imperial brother called me here today, just for this matter?" Yu Wenxuan asked tentatively.
"Why, can't I call you to enjoy the snow and taste the tea?" Yuwenduan smiled, "You and Shaohua grew up together since childhood, and now they are married, do you have any ideas?" ”
"I ...... I don't have any ideas. Yu Wenxuan glanced at Yue'er and couldn't help but smile, "Isn't the wedding date set for the beginning of spring next year?" The major marriage event is not all up to the royal brother and sister-in-law. ”
Yuwenduan laughed, in front of him and Queen Ren, Yuwenxuan and Yue'er were naturally embarrassed to get too close, but the small movements between the eyebrows and eyes were still seen by Yuwenduan. couldn't help but say: "It seems that it's a good idea to let the two of you go on a southern tour together, and you must get along very well along the way." ”
"It's very good." Yu Wenxuan blurted out, he remembered the scene when he was drunk and Yue'er took care of him that night, and then kissed Yue'er again. And how well Yue'er knew Yu Wenxuan, she could guess what he was thinking, if it was elsewhere, she would definitely be ashamed, and she couldn't help but say a few words to Yu Wenxuan, so that he was not allowed to think about it again. But now, Yue'er had to try her best to hold back her emotions, but she still had to let her little face turn from freezing white to red with shame.
Yuwenduan and Queen Ren are also from the past, although they don't have the experience of being able to meet and accompany each other before marriage like Yuwenxuan and Yue'er, but they have been in love for many years. So I don't think it's strange for Yu Wenxuan and Yue'er's reactions. Along the way to the south, something must have happened to these two little guys, but they believe that Yu Wenxuan is a righteous gentleman, and they will never be rude to Yue'er, but what happened between them, only they know.
"Okay, then according to the previous plan, when the spring of the new year begins, the two of you will get married as soon as possible. Even if I have a wish, I can give an explanation to the Sulphur Kingdom, after all, Yue'er has been in Dazhou for more than half a year, and it will be a little inappropriate to drag it out like this. Yuwenduan took a sip of tea and said.
……
"Lord Wang. What are you thinking about? If you don't do anything, it's too late. On the Rongjun Palace, Yuwen Gong and Li Shouren sat opposite each other, and saw Li Shouren asking with an urgent face. He was joined by another man, a man of strong build, but of an ugly appearance, so that when he did not speak, he always kept his head down.
Since meeting Sima Rui again, Yu Wengong has often exchanged letters with him. Because after that meeting, Yu Wengong agreed to cooperate with Bohai State, and Li Shouren was also placed next to Yu Wengong, so Sima Rui felt in his heart that they had already controlled Yu Wengong, even if he helped him take the throne in the future, this was just a puppet emperor, and it would not take two or three years to force him to give the throne to the monarch of Bohai.
Based on such an idea, Sima Rui was negligent and inadvertently revealed the news that the Bohai State would raise troops to enter the customs in the near future. This made Yu Wengong anxious, he knew that the cooperation with the Bohai Kingdom was to seek the skin of the tiger, so he had not wholeheartedly wanted to act according to the rhythm of the Bohai people, but secretly made his own calculations.
As for Yu Wengong's plan, the key to all of them is to take power personally, and it was really expensive to promise to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun in exchange for the help of the Bohai State, but it was also purely helpless, who let his handle fall into the hands of Sima Rui. But how to say that Yuwen Gong is also a member of the Great Zhou royal family, and there is the pride of the Yuwen family in his blood. In addition, its strategic position is really important, it can be called the natural barrier of the Great Zhou in the east and north, if this barrier is easily ceded to others, if the Bohai State raises troops in the future, it will be unhindered and peaceful.
Therefore, Yu Wengong has been thinking about it in recent days, and finally decided that if it is a big deal, he will plan and act as soon as possible, and if it is done, he will quickly eradicate Li Shouren, Sima Rui and other spies of the Bohai Kingdom. If you lose, it doesn't matter, anyway, you don't have anything to worry about, it's better to fight.
Just in time for Chen Bin to be investigated, Yuwen Gong simply asked Li Shouren to count the troops on the grounds that he was worried about his exposure, and at the same time asked the Stygian Flower Society to gather the masters in the gang to gather in the Rongjun Mansion to conspire with great things. In this way, even if Li Shouren informed Sima Rui that Chang'an and Yanzhou were far away, even if they were fast, it would take five days to make a round trip, and by then, even if Sima Rui stopped him, he would have already taken action. The second is that he expected that the two brothers Yuwen Duan and Yuwen Xuan would not think that there would be changes on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they would definitely be able to catch them off guard, so that the chances of victory would be greater.
"Hmm. Chen Bin's side, there is no leakage. Yu Wengong added two pieces of charcoal to the stove next to him, and then watched the two pieces of charcoal burn intently. Yu Wenxuan really didn't guess wrong, there were indeed people behind Chen Bin.
It turned out that Chen Bin's habit of corruption and bribery was consistent, and he almost lost his life in the early years, and it was Yu Wengong who helped him settle it, so the two also became acquainted with it. Later, Chen Bin naturally "honored" Yu Wengong if he had any good deeds, whether it was Chen Tao or anyone else, but a lot of the money that Fan Sai gave Chen Bin fell into Yu Wengong's pocket. This time, Chen Tao was investigated and Chen Bin was implicated, but fortunately, Chen Bin still had points in his heart, and he took all the charges, so that he would not be set on fire to the Rongjun Palace.
"Naturally, no." The man with his head bowed said coldly. If Chen Tao was still there, he would naturally recognize this voice as the person who found him in the prison that day.
"Yu Wenxuan, that kid, since he became the king, he has ruined me too much. It's a pity, this king can't beat him, otherwise he really wants to capture him with his own hands and kill him to vent his anger. Yu Wengong's face was gloomy, but he couldn't help laughing at himself, he still knew the gap between himself and Yu Wenxuan's skills. Then he asked the man with his head bowed, "What about you, how do you compare with him?" ”
"Although he has never fought against Yu Wenxuan in Xia, but with my understanding of him, his internal strength and martial arts moves are all top-notch, I am afraid that it is indeed as rumored by the rivers and lakes, he can be regarded as the strongest person in the Great Zhou, and I am eighty percent inferior to him." The man said, "But if our helper is here, we may be able to defeat Yuwenxuan." No matter what he said, others couldn't feel a trace of emotion from it, but when he mentioned his gang leader, his eyes seemed reverent and fanatical, but it was also a flash.
Yuwen Gong snorted coldly and ignored it again. Turning to Li Shouren, he said, "How about the manpower in our hands now?" ”
"In addition to a thousand soldiers, and then there are a hundred killers of the Stygian Flower Society, many years ago, you were given military power, and you are far away from the center of power all year round, so we are now these people. As for the troops around the capital, there are 10,000 forbidden troops in the palace, and its commander Gray is brave, strategic, and loyal, and there are 50,000 Black Feather troops stationed outside the palace, all of which are his Yuwenxuan's soldiers. If we want to succeed, we have to outwit it. Li Shouren said, although he didn't listen to it, he was telling the truth.
As for this Stygian Flower Society, it is a mysterious Jianghu organization, and no one knows where it has risen and developed. Among the assassins sent by Yuwen Gong to ambush Yu Wenxuan and his party, the five leaders were from the Stygian Flower Society. Many years ago, Murong Lin, the deputy leader of the Dark Flower Society, that is, the man who always lowered his head today, found Yu Wengong, claiming to be able to help him achieve great things, so the Dark Flower Society also entered the Rongjun Palace, and became Yu Wengong's doorman. But as for the leader of the Stygian Flower Society, Yu Wengong only knew that he was a strong martial artist, but he had always been secretive and had never met, so it was still unknown who this person was, and after so long.
"Alas!" Yuwen Gong sighed abruptly, and thought, "Isn't it that the first emperor already knew my thoughts, so he had already started to guard against me." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my chest, "Father, what you love the most has always been those two sons, hehehe." ”
"I've thought about it before, and after." Yuwen Gong calmed down again, and immediately assigned tasks to the two of his subordinates, "We are short of manpower, so it is naturally impossible to attack, and I usually rarely have the opportunity to enter the palace except for the court." So the only possibility is on Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the annual custom, on Chinese New Year's Eve, we, the royal family members in Chang'an City, will enter the palace to celebrate the New Year together, and all of you in the Hades Flower Society are top experts, so you need to sneak into the palace in advance. I will draw you a detailed map, you only need to go an hour in advance and hide in the Tai Chi Hall, and ...... during the dinner."
