Chapter 118: Remnant Sun

At dusk, the sunset is full, Jinyang City is dyed with a layer of golden yellow, the curfew is about to begin, and the sound of bells and drums echoes in the air, reminding people to hurry home, or stay in places of recreation such as Le Fang and don't go out again.

Chi Qin, the governor of Bingzhou, stood on the tower of the palace city of the old Jinyang, looking at the southeast direction, trying to let his eyes see the scene of Yecheng through the mountains and mountains.

Today's wedding of the Son of Heaven is an important day, for the Son of Heaven, for Prime Minister Wei Chi Dan, and for Wei Chi Qin, the same is true, as the governor of the state, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country and the family at the same time, so it is time to act.

Since the Zhou State destroyed Qi and set up a governor's office in Bingzhou, Wei Chiqin was the fourth governor of Bingzhou, commanding this important place between Guanzhong and Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain).

After the fall of the Qi State, the Zhou State set up a governor's office in the state, Shangzhu State, Chen Wang Yuwenchun was the first governor of the state and annexed the state assassin history, and the new monarch succeeded to the throne after the death of Yuwenyong, Yuwenchun was transferred to Yongzhou Mu, and the successor was Yuwen Shenju, a confidant of the first emperor.

However, not long after he arrived in office, Yuwen Shenju, who had long hated Yuwen Yun, the new monarch Yuwen Yun, who had long hated him, was killed in Mayi.

The third governor of the state was Taizu Yuancong and Shenguo Gong Li Mu, but in the second year of the elephant, this Yuancong Xungui, who should have been the pillar of Zhou Guoshi, directly threw himself into Yang Jian, who was then the auxiliary prime minister.

From then on, Bingzhou became the territory of Yang Jian, that is, the Sui State, until last year, when the Zhou army regained lost territory and regained control of Hedong, and Wei Chiqin was appointed governor of Bingzhou.

And the state of Jinyang for the world of Xiongcheng, in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Qi, is and Qi capital Yecheng and called the important place, known as "don't capital", the elite soldiers will be Xianhui here, the horses are far stronger than Yedu.

The reason why Jinyang had such a status in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Gaoqi was because the Prime Minister's Mansion (Bafu) of Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was located in Jinyang.

And Jinyang is the nest of the Gao family, which is actually the core of power in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the overlord is the real court, and the court in Yecheng is just a decoration, and the Qi State lost Jinyang and completely went to the road of destruction.

A little further, after the Six Towns Rebellion that year, the overlord of the Quanchen Er Zhurong was also located in Jinyang, and the emperor and the court of Luoyang were a puppet, which shows the importance of Jinyang's status.

Even after the Zhou State destroyed Qi, Jinyang is also an important place, for Chang'an, Guanzhong to the west of Hedong, and Yecheng, Shandong to the east of Hedong, Jinyang has a tendency to be a towering position.

The Governor's Office of Bingzhou also undertook the important task of guarding against the Turkic states in the steppe in the northwest, so it was necessary to garrison heavy troops here, but this also posed a threat to Chang'an and Yecheng.

Therefore, the position of governor of the state is very important, last year when Wei Chiqin was appointed as the governor of the state, he was very surprised by this, because everyone thought that this position should be held by Wei Chi Shun, but Wei Chiqin was relieved when he thought of his uncle Wei Chi Hui's family was not peaceful.

Wei Chishun was born to Yu Chi Yuan Yuan, and Wei Chi was born to the Wang family of Xu Xian, last year, Yu Chi Shun became the son of the king of Shu, if Wei Chi Shun was appointed as the governor of the state, the relationship between the two sides would not be good, and once mutual suspicion was feared, I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later.

However, Jinyang must be in the hands of the Wei Chi family, so Wei Chi Qin became the best candidate.

In terms of qualifications, there are qualifications, there are military merits, and he is the backbone of the Weichi family, and it is natural for the family to sit in Jinyang and control Hedong.

Not only to defend against the Turks, but also to work with Xi Piluo, the governor of Yizhou in Shudi, to monitor Yuwenliang in Guanzhong from east to west, and when necessary, to attack each other from east to west.

And "when necessary", Wei Chiqin knew that it would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Because this day is after the wedding of the Son of Heaven.

As early as a few months ago, Wei Chiqin received an order from Prime Minister Wei Chi Dan, who asked him to reorganize his troops and horses to prepare for the "Autumn Defense", the so-called "Autumn Prevention" is to guard against the invading Turkic army, and the other side usually enters the border in a big way after the autumn, harassing the border and robbing livestock, cattle and sheep and population.

Although in recent years, there have been infighting among the Turkic tribes, and the large and small khans are divided into different camps to fight, but some tribal leaders leading their troops to attack and disturb the south in the autumn have also happened from time to time, so they have to be guarded against.

However, not long ago, after he arrived in Yecheng, he learned one thing from Wei Chi Dan, that is, the Son of Heaven planned to assassinate Yu Chi Tang on his wedding day and launch a palace rebellion to seize power.

This matter is not trivial, once the Son of Heaven succeeds, whether he can finally grasp the power or not, not to mention, the Wei Chi family is just like the Erzhu family back then, and they were killed in a river of blood.

Sooner or later, the Yuchi family and the Yuwen family will break up, since the Son of Heaven wants to make the first move, then break up, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Wei Chiqin thought so, and Wei Chi Dan's idea was similar, that is, let the Son of Heaven do it first, and then subdue him, and completely put the Son of Heaven under house arrest by isolating him from inside and outside, and then change the dynasty when the time is ripe after a few years.

This kind of completely empty emperor is similar to Yang Jian back then, to put it bluntly, today's Wei Chi family will become a chaotic minister and thief of the Zhou State like the Yang family, which is completely different from the idea of the late Shu King Wei Chi Yuan.

Although the reputation is not good, this is an inevitable result, the Son of Heaven and the ministers will inevitably break up, the loser will be cut down and eradicated, Wei Chiqin does not want to be loyal to the Yuwen family anymore, because this family is no longer worthy of everyone's loyalty.

Eleven years ago, after the death of Yuwen Yong, the new governor of the state Yuwen Shenju, was killed by the new monarch in office, and it didn't take long for Kozuka Zai Yuwen Xiaobo to die at home by the new monarch.

In the following year, Wang Liang, the governor of Xuzhou, was sent by the new monarch to kill him in office, and soon after, the governor of Qinzhou, Chi Yun, died of fear.

These people are Yuwen Yong's ministers of the humerus, but they are hated by the crown prince Yu Wenyun, so not long after the new monarch ascended the throne, he killed the killers one by one to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Wei Chiqin only learned later that his brother Wei Chiyun did not die of fear, but in order not to implicate his son, he had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison before Yu Wenyun could do it.

These ministers were loyal to the Yuwen family and were good ministers of the Great Zhou, but because they saw that the then crown prince Yuwenyun was stubborn, they thought that the succession to the throne in the future would inevitably damage the foundation of the Great Zhou, so they advised Emperor Wu to set up another prince.

Although this move is a big taboo, it is also for the sake of Zhou Guo and the Yuwen family, what is the result in exchange?

The courtiers who are loyal to the Great Zhou and the Yuwen family will end up with death!

Not to mention outsiders, Qi Wang Yuwenxian was famous because of his merits, and he was also killed by his nephew who found an excuse at will, the loser of the Yuwen family ruined the family business, whoever stopped him would die, so there was that fool who gambled his whole family's life to stop it?

Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the new monarch succeeds to the throne and lets the old emperor and the old minister stand aside, this kind of thing can be understood, but Yu Wenyun's approach makes people shudder.

Wei Chiqin figured it out, and most of the powerful people in the Zhou State figured it out, so when Yu Wenyun died suddenly, Yang Jian, who originally didn't have much merit, stood out and suddenly took power with his stepfather's identity, everyone acquiesced.

No one wants the people of the Yuwen family to come out and preside over the overall situation, because the previous clan Yuwen Hu, who presided over the overall situation, killed the powerful and bloody, and no one cared about what the little emperor should do, because his father killed everyone and scattered everyone's hearts.

After the death of Yu Wenyun in the second year of the elephant, Wei Chi Hui planned to raise troops against Yang in Xiangzhou, sent a letter to Qingzhou to Wei Chiqin, and mobilized his nephew to respond to the army.

Yes, he didn't plan to serve the Yuwen family, because what this family did made him disheartened and disheartened by many powerful people.

But later, Wei Chiqin still responded to his uncle's call to raise troops, not for the sake of Kuang Fu Zhou, but for the sake of the family, his brother-in-law Wei Chi'an had already voted for Yang Jian, so as a typical practice of betting on both sides, Wei Chiqin had to stand on his uncle's side.

Wei Chiqin's father, Wei Chi Gang, and Wei Chi Hui are brothers, and they are the nephews of Zhou Taizu Yuwentai, Yu Chi Hui wants to be loyal to the Yuwen family and his uncle, this is just the idea of the previous generation.

As a nephew, Wei Chiqin followed his uncle for the sake of the family, so when the Sui State fell, he had to think about the future of the family.

Yu Chi Hui's idea is obvious, that is, Yuwen and Yu Chi share the world, but Wei Chiqin thinks that this is self-deception, even if the Yu Chi family wants to share the world, the Yuwen family will be unwilling, isn't that young son of heaven just a wolf cub who can't be raised?

Although Wei Chiqin did not wait to see Wei Chi Shun and squeeze out Wei Chi Shun, his attitude on this matter was the same as that of the other party: If the Son of Heaven is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!

It is a matter of the rise and fall of the family, and the family cannot be slaughtered because of the kindness of the woman, Wei Chiqin thinks that the family has done its duty to the Yuwen family, and the grievances are omitted.

Therefore, at the request of Wei Chi Dian, he did not reveal this inside story to others, including Wei Chi Shun, and after returning to Jinyang from Yecheng, he planned intensively, and today is the wedding day of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the day when the two families break up.

The Son of Heaven will be placed under house arrest, and Chi Qin, the governor of Bingzhou, will lead the Hedong army south to Puban, cross the Yellow River from the Pujin pontoon bridge into Guanzhong and go straight to Chang'an, crusade against the rebel thief who sent people to assassinate the Son of Heaven, Yuwenliang.

The footsteps sounded, and Shi Shi, the governor of Bingzhou, walked up to the city and reported to Wei Chiqin: "Governor, the defense of Bingzhou has been arranged, and once the Turks attack, they will definitely not be able to endanger Jinyang." ”

"Okay, this officer will lead the troops south, and the state defense will be handed over to you."

Wei Chiqin was supposed to lead his troops south today, but a few days ago, envoys from the border states came to report that there had been an abnormal movement among the Turkic tribes in the steppe, and he had to stay for a day in order to arrange for the "autumn prevention" matter.

Wei Chiqin has to deal with Yuwenliang, but he also has to arrange all kinds of matters, lest after the army goes south, Jinyang will be taken by the Turkic army going south, and the situation in Hedong will be erosive, and it is very likely to make a big mistake.

was about to walk down the city, Wei Chiqin turned to look at the west, only to see the sun waning in the west mountains, and the remnant sun was like blood.

The Zhou Kingdom of the Yuwen family is like the remnant sun that is about to disappear, and there is no hope, so if it should be destroyed, it will perish.
