Chapter 64: Under the Current

Yuwen Zhao has been honest recently, and he should not commit the taboo of his nephew, and a difficult joy suddenly swelled in his heart, maybe the nephew changed his mind, and he was no longer so precautionary against the people in the royal family, and intended to let himself go back to participate in politics, so he immediately quickened his pace and walked to the front hall.

In addition to the two eunuchs, there was also a small group of Praetorian Guards who came from Chang'an to Xiangyang to announce the decree, and the leader was Sun Sheng, the chief of the guard, and the idle people in the hall of King Zhao's Mansion had been cleared, and when they saw Yuwen coming, the two rows of forbidden soldiers straightened their chests and looked at him with cold eyes, and the two eunuchs were also expressionless, and one shouted with a sharp voice: "King Zhao takes the order." ”

Yuwen Zhao hurriedly knelt down, the emperor's will began to praise Yuwen Zhao, as if he was about to be entrusted with a heavy task, Yu Wen Zhao was secretly happy to hear it, but in the middle, when he heard that Yu Wen Fang was going to be crowned as a princess to marry the Turks, Yu Wen Zhao almost collapsed to the ground.

After the two eunuchs finished announcing the decree, they handed the holy decree to Yuwen Zhao, who was at a loss: "Congratulations to the prince, Lord Fang will be promoted to princess." ”

Looking at the holy decree handed over by the eunuch, Yuwen Zhao only felt extremely dazzling, his hands trembled, and a eunuch reminded: "Lord Wang, please accept the decree." ”

Yuwen Zhao couldn't wait to tear the holy decree and throw it to the ground, but he saw that the forbidden soldiers on both sides had pressed the hilt of the sword, and if one was wrong, he was afraid that his head would fall to the ground, so he had to take the holy decree: "The minister receives the decree." He motioned to the butler next to him to take the two eunuchs and the Praetorian Guards down.

The housekeeper knew that the prince's mood must be very bad at the moment, so he willingly invited the two eunuchs and the forbidden army out of the living room, and saw that Yuwen Zhao had received the order, so the forbidden army put down the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and followed the chief of the palace out of the hall.

Seeing that the forbidden army and the two eunuchs had gone away, Yuwen Zhao threw the holy decree in his hand to the ground and scolded: "Yuwen Yun, you deceive the king too much. ”

Yu Wenfang rushed out from behind in a panic, his face was pale, and he hugged Yu Wenzhao's arm and cried: "Father, is it true that the emperor wants to marry me to the Turks?" ”

Yuwen Zhao patted his beloved daughter's head comfortingly: "Fang'er, don't worry, your father will definitely not let you marry a Turk." ”

Not only Yu Wenfang's mother is Han, but Yu Wenzhao's mother is also Han, Yu Wenfang likes everything about the Han people, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she even begged King Zhao to invite everyone Yu Xin, who is famous in the capital of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, to worship as a master.

Yu Wenfang can't imagine that if she is really allowed to marry into a barbaric place like the Turks, will she have the courage to live, hearing her father's assurance, Yu Wenfang's face will improve, in her heart, her father is omnipotent, since her father said that she would not marry the Turks, then she would definitely not marry the Turks, even if the emperor said it.

Yuwen Zhao pondered for a moment, and his face softened: "Fang'er, you go down first and invite Mr. Yu here." ”

Mr. Yu is Yu Xin's son Yu Li, Yuwen Zhao was influenced by his mother and wife, and he also loved Yu Xin's words, and there were many works of singing and harmony with Yu Xin, and he relied on Yu Li as a confidant, and discussed everything with him.

Yu Wenfang answered, and soon Yu Li followed Yu Wenfang to the hall, Yuwen Zhao glanced at her daughter and motioned for her to go out, but Yu Wenfang was unwilling, pouting and shaking her head, it was a matter of her life, how could she not listen.

Yuwen shouted: "Fang'er, be obedient and go out." ”

Hearing his father's unprecedented strictness, Yu Wenfang had no choice but to pout unhappily and go out, and Yu Wenzhao personally closed the door before handing over the holy decree to Yu Li: "Sir, please look, how should this king deal with it?" ”

Yu Li finished reading the holy decree and smiled: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." ”

Yuwen Zhao's face sank: "Mr. Yu, this king's favorite daughter is going to marry a Turk far away, you are sarcastic to me." ”

Yu Li shook his head: "Lord Wang, I sincerely congratulate the Lord Wang, how can I be sarcastic about Lord Wang, Lord Wang, do you think, can Da Zhou start a war with the Turks at this time?" ”

Yuwen Zhao fell silent, and Yu Li said: "Since the Great Zhou cannot fight with the Turks, peace is naturally the best choice, and the county lord marrying the Turks has at least four benefits for the prince, the first is to keep the Great Zhou's Jiangshan Sheji." Second, if the prince listens to the order this time, it will definitely reduce the emperor's suspicion of the prince. The third county lord marries the Turks, and the prince is equivalent to having Turkic people to help, and no one will dare to touch the prince easily in the future. The fourth prince has been away from the capital for a long time, and this time he can just return to the capital in the name of sending relatives to the county lord, and re-establish contact with the ministers of the court, maybe the prince will have the opportunity to stay in Beijing. ”

When Yu Li talked about the third benefit, Yuwen Zhao was already moved, but he was still struggling in his heart: "But Fang'er, Fang'er ......"

Yu Li interrupted Yuwen Zhao's words: "Lord Wang, since he was born in the emperor's family, many things are involuntarily, can the prince really refuse the emperor's will, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, the prince, King Qi is a lesson from the past." ”

"But how does this make this king tell Fang'er." Yu Wenzhao's tone was extremely weak.

"The prince can rest assured, the county lord is full of poetry and books, and he understands things well, for the sake of the prince, for the sake of the Great Zhou Jiangshan, I believe that the county lord will make a wise choice, if the prince is not willing to talk to the county lord, he is willing to persuade the prince on his behalf."

Yuwen shook his head: "No need, this king will tell her." ”

"Yes, my lord, I will retire immediately."

When Yu Li opened the door, Yu Wenfang was eavesdropping with his ears on the side, but the two of them spoke quietly, and the living room was too big, Yu Wenfang didn't even hear a word, and when he saw Yu Li coming out, he was immediately overjoyed: "Sir, is there any good way?" ”

Yu Li looked at Yu Wenfang, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, such a beautiful and intelligent girl is about to marry far away to the Turks, which is really worthy of sympathy, but after thinking about it, Yu Li put away all the sympathy, this is the price that the Yuwen family should pay.

"County Lord, the prince is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, sir, then I will see my father."

Looking at Yu Wenfang's back, Yu Li sighed slightly, Yu Li's father Yu Xin was originally Liang Chen, and when he was ordered to envoy to the Western Wei Dynasty, Liang had been destroyed by the Western Wei Dynasty before he returned. Yu Xin was forced to stay in the north as an official, he has a long reputation in the literary world, and has many kings intersected, the official fortune is prosperous, the official to the general of the chariot and the general, the opening of the palace and the three divisions; After the Wei Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, he was relocated to the hussar general, the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and was made a marquis.

Although Yu Xin was a prominent figure in the surrounding body, respected as a master of the literary world, courteous by the emperor, and friends with the kings, he never forgot his homeland, and was ashamed of his being an enemy country, and cried sadly because he could not get freedom.

Now the Liang State only has a little big place left in Jiangling, attached to the Great Zhou in order to survive, and there is always a danger of being annexed by the Zhou, Yu Li tried to persuade Yuwen to recruit into Beijing, but did not rely on Yuwen Zhao, the Great Zhou court was more chaotic, so as to keep the only remaining bit of land in the Liang State.

People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, relied on by King Zhao, Yu Li still cherishes his homeland, how much he is ashamed of King Zhao, but in addition to this move, there is no other way: "Lord, when you get to Beijing, whether you can succeed depends on yourself." Yu Xin read silently.
