Chapter 19: Clan Drug Lords
Chang'an City, in the conference hall of the back hall of the Prime Minister's Palace, the door is closed, in the middle of summer, knowing the unstoppable call, Wanmu is lush, at this time the guard Cai You is guarding outside the door with a knife, the meeting hall is overflowing, it seems extremely stuffy, there is a bright ring-headed saber on the table in the middle hall, and Yuwentai is wearing armor and sitting wrinkled on the right side of the table, revealing a trace of sadness, his right arm is on the table, and his hand is hard to grasp the corner of the table, at this moment Yuwentai hates the choice of Feng Yi's eldest princess.
Suddenly, I saw him stand up, grabbed the ring-headed saber on the table, pulled out the saber, frowned and carefully looked at the bright saber, only to see him turn around, wave the saber with all his strength, and slash the chair he had sat on, as if he wanted to sprinkle all the anger that the eldest princess Feng Yi brought to him on this poor chair, so he had to "click... Click... The voice, the chair was already in pieces.
Although Cai You, the guard guarding outside the door, had noticed everything that was happening in the room, he knew Yuwentai, the drought was raging, and he was trapped inside and outside, and at this time he was abandoned by the person next to him, and the pressure was unimaginable, he didn't dare to open the door to comfort, so he had to quietly guard outside the door, and let Yuwentai vent all the depression in his heart in the room.
Yu Wentai in the room held the saber in his hand, panting and sweating beads on his face, looking at the chair that was smashed by himself, so he threw the saber on the ground at will, and weakly walked to the corner in front of the bookshelf in the council hall to stop, sat down, slightly messy hair, only to see his head leaning on the bookshelf and staring blankly at the roof, the tears in his eyes came out of the frame, and unconsciously tears fascinated his eyes, this iron-blooded man usually climbs to the top and kills decisively, but who can really understand the bitterness in his heart, only when no one dares to cry, dared to release the grievances in his heart, and he felt lonely at the moment.
About two hours later, the door of the conference hall was slowly opened, Yuwentai walked out, Cai You was about to step forward to comfort, only to see Yuwentai wave his hand, weakly shook his head at the guard Cai You, and said to him: "Chengxian, it's okay!" ”
Yuwentai stopped in front of the door of the council hall, stared blankly at the lush trees, and said to the guard Cai You: "Chengxian, accompany me to the gate of Chang'an City!" ”
The guard Cai You saluted with his hand and replied, "No! Lord! ”
The two hurried through the long corridor towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei, who was wearing a white robe, was in a hurry, full of joy, and looked for Yuwentai everywhere with a fold in his hand, and turned over the main hall and hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and didn't find it, so he hurriedly walked to the Prime Minister's door, there were guards guarding in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei stepped forward to ask one of the guards: "You can see the Prime Minister?" ”
The guard replied: "The prime minister just left the mansion with General Cai!" It's about the direction of Chang'an City Gate! ”
The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei took the fold in his hand, left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hurriedly walked outside the gate of Chang'an.
Outside the gate of Chang'an City, Yuwentai stood in the place where Su Sui was sent, and the guard Cai You was guarding from a long distance, and it was windy from time to time in midsummer, only to see the cloak behind him shaking with the breeze, and his hair was slightly messy, looking at the direction where Su Sui was driving the carriage at that time, he missed this great talent very much, if this great talent was there, the Western Wei Dynasty would not be so complicated, it would not be so difficult, and he unconsciously remembered the moment when the two looked at each other.
I could only hear the voice of "Lord... Breaking Yuwentai's dream, he turned around and saw the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei running out of breath, although he was running very slowly, he saw that he was holding a white robe in his left hand and holding a fold in his right hand, which looked very cute.
Yuwentai thought that there was something urgent, and subconsciously ran over to greet him, and after a while, the two approached, and the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei panted and said: "Lord... Male, marriage. Great strategy. It's done, our army... But let go and prepare, this is an urgent report! As he spoke, he handed the fold to Yu Wentai's hand.
Yu Wentai instantly smiled, this was probably the most gratifying thing he had heard recently, so he said to Lu Wei: "Master book, first pant evenly!" So I couldn't wait to open the recital and look at it.
At this time, Yuwentai, who was elated, admired from the bottom of his heart while watching the performance: "Shen'er is really a good son of my Yuwen family, but it can be of great use!" This matter is very difficult, but I didn't expect it to be done! ”
The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei also praised: "Yuwen is young and promising, proficient in strategy, and talented, the lord should rely on it!" ”
So he pondered for a while, and said to Yuwentai: "Lord, the marriage has been decided, I don't know how our army is ready for war, at this time, the minister should not be disappointed, but Shangshutai has been full of many twists and turns, and the drought has spread to the land of Jingzhao and Gyeonggi, we should immediately plan the Eastern Expedition to solve the urgent need!" ”
Yuwentai put together the folding, and said calmly: "There is indeed a crisis right now, we should send troops as soon as possible!" Lord, would you like to drink a few wines with me at night? ”
The chief bookkeeper, Lu Wei, knew Yuwentai's situation, so he saluted with his hand and hurriedly replied: "No! Lord! ”
The three of them faced the scorching sun and walked towards Chang'an City.
At this time, a very large mansion is located on a remote street, although it is deserted, but extremely luxurious, the courtyard of the three entrances is orderly, just like the specifications of the palace, only to see two biao sergeants standing at the door guarding, the people who live here are either rich or noble.
Suddenly, a person dressed in ordinary clothes walked not far from this mansion, carefully checked the surrounding environment and few pedestrians on the street, and in the case of confirming safety, he walked straight to the gate of the mansion, the sergeant saw this person holding his hand and saluting, only to see this person take advantage of the situation to push open the door of the mansion, and subconsciously poked out his head to look around the surrounding environment before closing the door of the mansion, so he closed the door.
This person hurriedly walked through the second courtyard, and when he came to the third courtyard, he saw a person under the tree teasing the eaglet in the birdcage with a branch, and there was a table and a chair next to it, which seemed to be used for enjoying the coolness.
I saw that the person just now immediately knelt down under the tree, and blurted out: "Lord, the brothers sent were all shot, Yuwentai is safe and sound, and the minister is guilty of death!" ”
The person under the tree was still teasing the eaglet in the cage, and did not pay attention to the kneeling person, and after a while, this person turned around and glanced at the kneeling person, who turned out to be the noble Yuan Xin of the clan, and then inserted the branch on the cage, turned around and said calmly to the kneeling person: "Get up, I can expect such a result, I didn't expect to kill Yuwentai once!" ”
I saw that this person was still kneeling, his arms were trembling, and the beads of sweat on his face kept flowing down, and he apologized to Yuan Xin: "Lord, the minister is guilty of death!" Then he kept kowtowing to the man.
Yuan Xin hurriedly helped this person up with a pleasant face at this time, and said slowly: "Okay, I don't blame you, why are you so afraid?" Get up! Get up! ”
This person was helped up by Yuan Xin, and said apologetically: "Lord, I have been planning this operation repeatedly for a long time, but I didn't expect that on the way from Longyou Road to Chang'an, in such a secluded place, someone would actually go to the rescue, God is unfair, Yuwentai really shouldn't die!" Next time, next time the minister will definitely not miss! Do your best to repay the Lord's kindness! ”
Yuan Xin suddenly walked a few steps with this person on his back, and said while pulling something in his sleeve with his right hand, "Next time?" This excuse is good, but what's good? It's good to put all the blame on God! ”
I saw that after Yuan Xin finished speaking, he held a bright dagger in his hand, and suddenly turned around and ran to this person's side and stabbed it in, this person immediately fell to the ground, Yuan Xin kept stabbing like a madman, only to see this person's blood flowing, and he choked on the spot.
The panting Yuan Xin stood up, took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the blood on his hands, and after wiping it, he threw the handkerchief on the person on the ground, and scolded angrily at the dead subordinates on the ground: "Before the action, I ordered five times, don't come back to see me if the matter is not successful, I have been planning for a long time, how much food I have wasted, and if the assassination was unsuccessful, I actually licked my face and came back to see me, you have no next time!" Stupid waste snack! ”
So he shouted to the housekeeper Yuan Bin and said, "Yuan Bin, Yuan Bin... ”
At this time, I saw a man who was trotting all the way to Yuan Xin's side, and when he trotted, he glanced at the dead subordinates on the ground, and he was not frightened, and saluted with his hands: "Lord, the plan has failed?" ”
Yuan Xin exhaled angrily: "This waste dim sum blames God for his incompetence, it is better to raise a dog than to raise him!" Waste so much money and food from me, I might as well give the money and food to Yuwentai and let him help the drought, at least I can get a favor! After saying that, he didn't hit one place again, and kicked the person on the ground again.
The housekeeper Yuanbin then greeted loudly: "Someone! Carry it away! Buried in a secluded place! ”
So four servants hurried up and lifted up the dead man, and one of them wiped the blood from the ground and hurried away.
At this time, the housekeeper Yuanbin nagged disdainfully: "Don't be angry, the lord is too eager, the big picture is slow, you can't kill a group of people if you fail once, so that we can't gather momentum, we can't get rid of traitors, control the court, and nothing will happen after all!" ”
Yuan Xin glanced at the housekeeper Yuan Bin with a gloomy gaze, and said slowly: "In today's situation, the school office in charge of the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei is very closely monitored, you dare to save the dead privately, how dare you have the guts?" ”
The housekeeper Yuanbin said helplessly: "If you don't do this risky move, you won't have our own power, we can only use the knife and I as the fish, don't hold the knife handle, and always let others slaughter, the minister doesn't think that killing a Yuwentai can solve the problem!" ”
Yuan Xin said to him fiercely: "Although I am a nobleman of the Great Wei, but since the death of Emperor Xiaowen, the Great Wei clan has gradually been humiliated, first Er Zhurong, Heyin has changed dramatically, and they were all slaughtered in an instant, and then it was Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and finally escaped to Chang'an, but there was another powerful minister Yuwentai, what is the Xiaowu Emperor Yuan Xiu, and he can actually sit on the throne, that throne should have been mine, the reason why I am ridiculous in front of people is to paralyze the enemy, as long as Yuwentai relaxes his vigilance, I will have a chance!" ”
The housekeeper Yuan Bin said: "Lord, I know that you have great ambitions, and I know that what you are doing is the Taoist art of hiding clumsy Tao!" But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and it should not be rushed! ”
I saw Yuan Xin turn around, pick up the branch that was inserted in the cage to tease the eaglet in the cage, and said with a little sadness: "Survive in the jungle, don't you turn yourself into a beast?" I also want to sit back and relax, rich and glorious, but after a hundred years of Great Wei, the foundation created by the ancestors was stolen by thieves, I am not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! The last two sentences of "I am unwilling" were said very loudly, as if to express the resentment that I had suppressed for a long time.
The housekeeper also said a little sadly: "Yes! Sometimes the change of people's hearts only takes a moment, and the obsession in the heart of the Lord is well known and empathetic! As he spoke, he seemed to be thoughtful, so he hurriedly approached Yuan Xin, who was on the edge of the cage, and said mysteriously: "Lord, the minister recently heard that Yuwentai sent a secret envoy to Rouran and kiss!" ”
Yuan Xin asked puzzled while teasing the little eagle in the cage, "Rouran and kiss?" I don't understand this, I don't care about the drought, but I send a secret envoy to make peace, and it's so mysterious? ”
The housekeeper Yuan Bin also said thoughtfully: "Lord, the minister feels that this matter will never be so simple, Yuwentai made a peace when he was in a hurry, I am afraid that he must have a plan!" ”
I saw Yuan Xin throw away the branch in his hand at this time, sit on the chair under the big tree, his brows locked in thinking, but his hand unconsciously stretched out to the table next to him, picked up the tea that had already been brewed, opened the tea lid and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said puzzledly: "Although Yuwentai is the prime minister, but he has not yet been able to make a decision, I have observed for a long time, dog thieves have always been in the habit of that, that is, once the court encounters a major event, or an unresolved matter, it will always consult the core people around it, and this matter is covered up so tightly, I have never heard the slightest rumor in Zhongshu Province, what is the real purpose behind it? ”
The housekeeper Yuanbin said at this time: "Lord, the minister thinks this is an opportunity, does the minister go to inquire about the real purpose of the dog thief?" ”
I saw Yuan Xin quickly put the teacup on the table, waved his right hand and said: "No, this time I want to go out in person, the school government controlled by Lu Wei can't be guarded against, if the news leaks, I will immediately fall into death!" Be cautious and ask those closest to you! Maybe God can give us a chance! ”
Yuan Xin and the housekeeper were silent at this time, and they all looked at the eaglet in the cage under the tree.
Yuan Xin, who has always behaved in front of others, has nothing to do with himself, and is even a little ridiculous and ridiculous, but at this moment, he shows his hideous face and paralyzes everyone, and his real purpose is to seize the highest power.
Predict what will happen next, and see how it will be broken down next time!
