Chapter 7 The Immortal Talent
In the middle of the night of the beginning of summer, when the breeze is light, there are occasionally a few starlight dots in the sky, the moonlight infiltrates everything like jade, the insects in the quiet and empty field are competing to hiss, on the official road outside Chang'an City, thousands of torches are lined up in a long dragon, from far and near, take a closer look, it turns out that the Western Wei army led by Yuwentai is returning from a great victory, all drag the tired body to march, slowly march to the moat outside Chang'an City, the army stops and waits, only to hear the army someone shouting: "The army returns victorious, put down the pontoon bridge!" "After a while, I only heard the big iron chain". The pontoon bridge pedal slowly descended, and at this time, I suddenly heard a person shouting: "Behead five hundred, capture nine thousand, the Western Wei is mighty!" Then the soldiers shouted in unison: "The Western Wei is mighty, the West Wei is mighty... Then the army stepped on the pontoon bridge pedal and slowly entered Chang'an City.
After repelling the invasion of the Eastern Wei army, the land of Sanqin returned to its former calm, and at this time Yuwentai was able to breathe.
I saw that the festive cave room arranged in the inner hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still there, and Princess Feng Yi's wedding maid Bi'er was waiting in front of the couch, and said happily: "Prime Minister, the princess has been together for a hundred years!" After saying that, he walked out of the inner hall and closed the door.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Wentai on the bed slowly opened his eyes, supported his head with his right hand, and carefully looked at the sleeping Princess Feng Yi, beautiful and delicate, Chu Chu moved, and then Yu Wentai tiptoed up, for fear of waking up the sleeping Princess Feng Yi, and after a hurried wash, he went to the council hall to call the guard Cai You and said, "Where is Sima Ziru now?" ”
I saw Cai You walk into the council hall and come to Yuwentai's side and said: "Lord, the external troubles have just settled, and on the day of the wedding, are you still busy with official business?" ”
Yu Wentai was wearing a green robe, glanced at Cai You and said, "Wedding, everyone has it, don't you do something?" We should be diligent when we first stand firm in the pass, and besides, there are strong enemies around, so we can't slack off! ”
Cai You helped Yuwentai get dressed, and said naggingly: "The lord is diligent, I can't wait, but the lord should rest moderately, if this goes on for a long time, the body will be unbearable, and the Western Wei Dynasty still has to rely on the lord!" ”
After Yuwentai got dressed, he looked at Cai You, and then said while tying the gold belt: "Chengxian! You also learn to nag, I am 27 years old, you and I are the same year, it is a good time to realize your ambitions, now for my Western Wei "time" is particularly important, although Gao Huan of Kanto temporarily retreated, but did not hurt the fundamentals, I dreamed of taking Guanzhong to exterminate me, although Xiao Yan in the south is old, but he is always looking for opportunities to go on the Northern Expedition, my Western Wei can only survive in the cracks, we must hurry up to make the country rich and the people strong, my Western Wei can last a long time! Can you understand it? ”
Cai You hurriedly apologized and said: "The lord treats me like the sea!" The minister must also serve carefully, but the lord should also adjust moderately, and the minister will not nag! Sima Ziru is temporarily imprisoned! ”
Yu Wentai finished tidying up and said with a smile: "I'm now reduced to being nagged by you, okay, adjust moderately, and follow me to the prison to visit the prison." ”
Cai You also smiled and replied: "No, lord! ”
After the two walked out of the chamber, they happened to meet the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei in the corridor.
Yu Wentai said after seeing the master bookkeeper Lu Wei: "The master book is dusty, what is the matter? ”
Lu Wei was about to salute with both hands, but Yu Wentai hurriedly helped Lu Wei and said: "It's okay to be polite in private, and it's not in the court, talk about things!" ”
The three of them walked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion together, with Yu Wentai and Lu Wei in front and Cai You behind.
Lu Wei said: "Xie, lord, after the Eastern Wei Dynasty's high army captured Luoshui, I heard that Dou Tai was beheaded, and then he urgently withdrew his army. The siege battle is also remarkable, and now retreating to Luoshui and Hou Jing are preparing to train the army, and now the assassin Shi Quanqi is leading people to restore the city, Shangluo is worry-free, but I still don't have time to breathe in Western Wei. ”
Yu Wentai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously patted the little mosquito fly that fell on his robe with his hand, and said as he walked: "Bohai Gao Aocao is the most brave member of the Gao family. ”
The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei then interrupted Yuwentai's words and said, "Lord, there are such hidden things? ”
Yuwentai then said: "This is what Emperor Xiaowu's entourage said in order to serve me, it should be true!" ”
The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei said thoughtfully: "Lord, why don't you release the news and let the Eastern Wei Dynasty have civil strife, and it can also relieve the Eastern Wei Dynasty's attention to me!" ”
Yu Wentai then said: "The time has not come, Gao Ao Cao believes or does not know whether he believes or not, this matter is top secret, and our army can use this plan to attack in the east in the future, not at the moment, Gao Huan really has the wisdom to know people, old and calculating, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is full of talents, I really don't know how many dark stones are hidden at the bottom of the river, I am waiting for this time to make a batch of false attacks on the Eastern Wei army, but in the long run, my Western Wei is still very weak compared to the Eastern Wei and Xiao Liang, and no matter how rich the country and strong the army are, we can only wait for overturning!" ”
Lu Wei seemed to notice that Yuwentai was worried, and then said: "The lord is too worried, many things are not in a hurry, and the current policies are being implemented in an orderly manner, which is much better than when we first entered Chang'an!" The three of them walked in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, only to see the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion coming and going in a hurry, and all the servants saw the three of them holding their right hands and bowing their left hands to Yuwentai, and then hurriedly left, unconsciously the three of them had walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yuwentai suddenly stopped, watching the sporadic pedestrians outside the door shuttling back and forth outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then said: "Although the decrees are being implemented, you see that there are few pedestrians outside the door, and they are very plainly dressed. ”
Lu Wei followed Yuwentai's line of sight and looked at the few pedestrians outside the gate, and when he heard Yuwentai's worry, he hurriedly comforted: "Lord, the minister doesn't know where the Western Wei is going, but there is a little bit of conviction of the minister. ”
Yu Wentai came back to his senses and interrupted Lu Wei's words and said, "What is the master book sure of? ”
Lu Wei said: "The lord's shoulders are like iron, his mind is broad, he is the lord of the world, the Western Wei Dynasty is helmed by you, and the future will definitely be rich and prosperous!" After listening to the main bookkeeper Lu Bian, Yuwentai laughed heartily, and Cai You, who was behind him, also covered his mouth and snickered.
Yu Wentai said happily: "Look, even Cheng Xian (Cai Youzi), who is usually not smiling, snickered, and the words of the main book compliment people are really useful!" What I am capable of is just the result of everyone's collective efforts! ”
Lu Wei also smiled and said: "The lord is humble, the minister hopes that you can laugh heartily often, the minister is really not flattering, what the minister just said is true!" The lord can wait for the opportunity! ”
Yu Wentai said happily: "Okay, listen to the words of the master book, wait for the opportunity, you go and get busy, I will go to the prison to meet Sima Ziru!" ”
Lu Wei then saluted with both hands and said, "No, lord! ”
Yu Wentai then turned back to Cai You and said, "Chengxian, let's go." ”
Then the two of them left the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and rode away.
In the prison, it was dim and damp, and the only window was also covered by rags, at this time Sima Ziru was wilting and leaning against the corner of the wall to sleep, with the big lock of the prison ringing, Sima Ziru opened his eyes slightly, Yuwentai walked in, Sima Ziru immediately came to the spirit, got up and quickly knelt down to Yuwentai's knees and begged: "Prime Minister Yuwen, please let me go!" Yu Wentai hurriedly picked up Sima Ziru and sat down on the prison couch and said, "Brother Ziru, don't do this big gift!" ”
After seeing Sima Ziru sit down, Yuwentai looked around the environment in the prison, and then saw that the wine and meat on the desk had not moved, walked to the side of the table and put the wine and meat in front of Sima Ziru and said slowly: "Brother Ziru is ashamed and angry, there is no need to fight, the first battle between the East and West Wei has nothing to do with Brother Ziru, Brother Ziru was kind to my Yuwen family in the past!" ”
Yuwentai was furious and shouted: "What about the warden? How can you let Ziru live in such an environment? Bastard thing! ”
Then he said to Cai You, the guard next to him: "Chengxian, reprimand that dog thing for me." Cai You bowed and replied, "No! Lord! Then he hurried out.
Yuwentai picked up Sima Ziru and said: "Ziru brother, treat slowly, treat slowly, I really shouldn't let Brother Ziru suffer such a crime, my fault!" ”
Sima Ziru looked at the Western Wei powerful minister in front of him who had no frame but was so benevolent, he couldn't help but become restrained, and then "Alas... sighed, and then said: "Yuwen Cheng calls me a brother, I really don't dare to be, I'm just an insignificant mediocre minister, let me go!" ”
Yuwentai looked at Sima Ziru and said: "Brother Ziru, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, in the era of Erzhu Rong, you are his cronies, when Erzhu was exterminated by Gao Huan, Brother Tai, you have become one of the "four nobles" of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the official Zhishang Shu left servant shot, I think you, you don't have this kind of ability, you are so comfortable in the meantime, what is the secret?" I would like to hear about it. ”
Sima Ziru looked carefully at the person in front of him, and the young minister was taken aback, but he still tried his best to hide himself, so he laughed and said, "Haha... Prime Minister Yuwen Cheng's eyes are like a torch, my ancestors are descendants of the royal family, and they all want to use the prestige and power of my Sima family to help stabilize the general trend, what questions does Yuwen Cheng have about this? ”
Yuwentai looked at the submissive Sima Ziru in front of him, and suddenly became arrogant, soft and hard, so he walked to the window of the prison, pulled down the dusty curtains, and saw the sunlight outside the window shine in, then shook his head and smiled, turned back to Sima Ziru Kankan and said: "Brother Ziru, I think when you were a cronie under Er Zhurong's account, my Yuwen clan just served Er Zhurong, Er Zhurong was afraid of my Yuwen clan's prestige, and killed my brother. I can't bear to kill you, but if Brother Tai is ruthless and wronged, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Sima Ziru looked at Yuwentai in a daze and said: "What happened at the beginning, don't mention it, now that I am in prison, how can there be any secret, the days of fresh clothes and angry horses are very far away!" ”
Yu Wentai slowly walked to the opposite side of Sima Ziru and said slowly: "Brother Ziru, I really want to let you go, I stand up with faith, my husband spit on a mouthful, a nail, and will never break his word and get fat, and your lord Gao Huan is good at suspicion, one set in front of him and one behind the other, like to fiddle with power and scheming, this is the fundamental difference between me and your lord Gao Huan, is Brother Ziru looking down on me?" Or do you deceive me that Yuwentai doesn't have the ability to know people? ”
Sima Ziru was speechless, staring blankly at the wine and meat in front of him.
Seeing the situation, Yuwentai hurriedly said: "Brother Ziru looked at the wine and meat in front of him, indicating that Brother Ziru still wants to survive, but it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, please rest assured, Tai will definitely be fruitful." ”
Although Sima Ziru was dirty, he was still shocked, and then said, "Alas... ”
Then he said: "No wonder my lord Gao Cheng dominates the world, and now the first head-to-head confrontation with the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated, you two are chess opponents, I don't know what to do, it should be difficult!" ”
Yuwentai quietly listened to Sima Ziru in front of him.
Then Sima Ziru said: "Brother Yuwen attaches so much importance to faithfulness, I can call you that!" ”
Yu Wentai nodded at this time, and then said: "You and I are originally old friends!" You don't have to be polite. ”
Sima Ziru said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to say, if I really tell the foundation of my life, Brother Yuwen is indeed as I said just now?" ”
Yuwentai said eloquently: "Ziru brother is clear, talking to smart people is happy, no wonder Brother Tai can stand tall in the chaotic world, Tai admires it very much!" ”
Sima Ziru was extremely reluctant, and said helplessly: "Admiration? Alas... In fact, I don't have talent, the reason why I can play with ease is because the doorman is planning for me! ”
Yu Wentai came at this time, and stepped forward to approach Sima Ziru, and asked eagerly, "Oh? What kind of doorman is this? ”
Sima Ziru said slowly: "My guest, his name is Su Sui, the word Lingxuan, Guanzhong martial arts, the ancestor once served as the servant of Emperor Wei Wen Cao Pi, in the early years from Guanzhong to Luoyang, because of its entanglement, coincided with the chaos, he went to my door as a guest, Erzhu era to the current Prime Minister Gao Cheng is in charge, he twice planned for me, so that I entered, assisted me during the period, many insights are impressive, its talent is only rare, I benefit from this!" ”
Yu Wentai excitedly asked, "Really?" How talented is it? ”
Sima Ziru said helplessly: "Let's say so, its knowledge runs through the ancient and modern, deep understanding of the way of a hundred schools, the equipment is magnificent, can be called an immortal talent, my official Zhishang Shu left servant shot high is the best example, the battle of Tongguan, it has predicted that Prime Minister Gao will be defeated, I really regret not accepting his words, resulting in today's prison disaster!" ”
After hearing this, Yuwentai got up and stood up, and shouted with excitement: "Chengxian... Inherit the first ... ”
Cai You hurriedly ran in, and Yuwentai immediately said to Cai You: "Chengxian, change a clean house for Brother Ziru, serve well, and don't be lazy!" ”
Cai You looked at the excited Yuwentai and said hesitantly: "No... Lord! ”
Sima Ziru asked anxiously: "Prime Minister Yuwen, aren't you going to let me go?" ”
Yuwentai said excitedly: "Brother Ziru, you rest, when the time comes, I will naturally let you go, you can rest assured!" ”
Yu Wentai happily ran out of the prison, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, happily jumped into the door of the mansion like a child, and immediately ordered the guards next to him: "Call the chief bookkeeper Lu Wei to see me, hurry up!" ”
Predict what will happen next, and see how it will be broken down next time!
