Chapter 36: Suspicion (II)
"Let's go in and talk." Zhang Shaohua was also frowning at the moment. If this matter fails, it is equivalent to burying a huge hidden danger in Chang'an City, and no one knows when this hidden danger will recur. What's even more frightening is that the mastermind behind this scene even dared to attack the convoy escorted by Prince Xi Yuwenxuan, so what else did he dare not do. Nowadays, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and often the unknown is the most terrifying.
Zhang Shaohua took Yu Wenxuan into the hall, and the two sat down, drinking fragrant tea while exchanging their views on the attack on Liangzhou.
Yue'er stood in the shadow of the corridor, Yu Wenxuan and Zhang Shaohua were discussing, she knew that it was inconvenient to disturb, and she quietly looked at the flowers in the garden alone.
The wind in early autumn is not like midsummer, less hot and more comfortable, slowly drifting by, blowing away the clouds, and a wisp of warmth happened to fall on Yue'er's delicate face. The sun soaked through her long, curled eyelashes, creating a faint shadow in her eye sockets.
"Alas, I've been checking this for so many days, and I still don't have a clue!" Yu Wenxuan complained.
Putting down the teacup, he subconsciously looked up at the window, and at this time, Yue'er also happened to move her gaze to him. The two men looked at each other for only a moment, but it seemed like a century had passed.
Suddenly, Yu Wenxuan had something more in his mind, he stared at Zhang Shaohua, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. This looks really weird.
"You, what are you doing. Don't look at me like that, you laugh, I'm me, I'm panicking. Zhang Shaohua was confused by Yu Wenxuan's sudden laughter, leaned back, blinked, and stammered a little.
Just now, Yu Wenxuan finally had some thoughts in his heart about what happened in Liangzhou this time. There are not many people in the entire capital who have the ability and courage to cause such a bad incident, and it can be said that there are only a handful. But after analyzing them one by one, there was only that person left, although there was no evidence and it was uncertain now, but when Yu Wenxuan figured it out, everything became clear.
It stands to reason that Rong Wang Yuwengong became famous much earlier than Yu Wenxuan, and he had also trained in the army for several years, and he was a person who led soldiers to fight.
But then somehow the first emperor took back the small amount of military power in his hands overnight, and established a government for him in the capital.
Most of the other princes of the first emperor were given titles and fiefs when they came of age, and they left Beijing one after another. Only the crown prince of the year, the current long live Ye Yu Wenduan, the seventh son of the emperor Rongjun Wang Yu Wengong and the youngest tenth son Yu Wenxuan remained in the capital. In the eyes of others, not to mention that the prince must stay outside the capital if he wants to inherit the throne in the future, the other two princes must be the most favored by the first emperor, so they are fortunate to be accompanied by the capital.
This is not the case. Yu Wenxuan now finally understands why he and Seventh Brother are both staying in the capital, he was named the commander of the Black Feather Army at a young age, and he holds the important task of border defense in the north and east of the Great Zhou Dynasty, while Yu Wengong was sealed as an idle vacant position, without any real power in his hands; Why did he and Seventh Brother also make outstanding military exploits, but before his father died, he made a decree to crown himself as a prince, but Yuwen Gong was always a county king.
It turned out that the former Yuwen Gong had also fought for the Great Zhou for many years, and he had made great contributions, and he once had some prestige in the court. But later, his ambition was gradually exposed, and he secretly continued to grow his strength with bad intentions. Fortunately, the first emperor noticed in time, and took advantage of his fledgling wings to take back the military power early, and pulled him back to Beijing, apparently to give high-ranking officials heavy responsibilities, but in fact it was not a position with power, the first emperor just wanted to watch him personally, just in case.
The first emperor remembered the relationship between father and son, and said a few times about Yu Wengong's thoughts, and Yu Wengong was also an acquaintance, and successively showed that he had no two hearts, so he saved his life and the glory of the official.
When the first emperor was there, he talked to the crown prince Yuwenduan about Yuwengong many times, so when Yuwenduan succeeded to the throne, Yuwengong was still not reused. Not only is it not taken seriously, but it is also constrained everywhere. Of course, these Yu Wenxuan don't know.
So at this time, no matter how much Yu Wenxuan didn't want to believe it in his heart, when all kinds of signs secretly pointed to the truth of his seventh brother Rongjun King, he couldn't help but not believe it. The short-term joy that I had figured out suddenly turned into anxiety and contradiction.
"Recently, someone from Yanzhou came to Beijing to report on his work, led by the deputy chief soldier of Yanyun named Sima Rui." Yu Wenxuan said unhurriedly.
