Chapter 8: The Conspiracy of the Duke of Xu

Jiangdu, in addition to Jiangdu Palace, the largest building area in the city, the most luxurious decoration is the Xuguo Mansion. Only the door needs a few people to work together to hold the two huge gilded stone lions, the plaque is written with the Sui Yang Emperor's personal inscription "Xu Guo Gongfu", when you know the position of this family in the Great Sui Dynasty, it symbolizes the status and wealth of its owner Yu Wenshu during his lifetime.

At this time, the Xuguo Mansion was still brightly lit, and the ordinary maids and men went back to their rooms early to rest, and a team of patrolling families with handles in their right hands and knives in their left hands went back and forth to all corners of the mansion.

In the mansion of Xu Guogong, there is an underground secret room.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people crowded into the relatively spacious secret room, and they all looked rough and heroic, with vigorous figures and capable dresses, and obviously most of them were in the army.

Yu Wenhua, who is over forty years old, has soft skin, has heavy eye bands under his eyes, and indulges in wine all the year round, which makes his lips dull, and his body is not very strong, not like a military general, but like a scholar.

Yu Wenhua was a well-known "light and thin son" in Daxingcheng in his early years, greedy and arrogant, relying on his father's power, often acting recklessly and not obeying the law. He often goes to the major shops in Daxing with his brother Yu Wenzhi to collect protection fees, and when he sees others with delicious food, good looks and fun, he will definitely find a way to get it.

When Emperor Yang of Sui was still the crown prince, Yu Wenhua was often dismissed for accepting bribes, but he was used many times after that.

At the beginning of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui came to Yulin, accompanied by Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and the two brothers who violated the ban to trade with the Turks.

is such a gentleman who was born in the Guanlong family, but has neither literary nor military skills, and no size of the merit, just because of the relationship between his father Yu Wenshu, not only got the weight of Emperor Yang of Sui, responsible for leading the Xiaoguo army, this mutiny, everyone also forced him out as the leading brother.

At this moment, Yu Wenhua and the generals were sitting in the middle, and everyone was discussing the details of the mutiny, but he was always silent and restless.

"Alas, if you want me to say, this secret room is airtight, it's too hot! Why don't we go up and talk to the main hall. Anyway, no one can hear it! Ying Yanglang kept fanning himself with his pu fan hand, and complained.

Huyalang stopped Zhao Xingshu and said: "It's better to be careful, after all, let's put our heads on the belt of our trousers, and the lives of the whole family will be in one fell swoop!" ”

Yu Wenzhi sneered and said, "Come on, Brother Zhao!" Your whole family is in Guanzhong, and now you are alone here, which is like our Yuwen family, the whole family is full of ages! ”

Pei Qiantong, the general of the Zhige, hooked his mouth and said, "If you want me to see it, just take care of it tonight, anyway, the saint is unaware of it!" When I was on an errand in the palace, I saw with my own eyes that the saint took the harem concubines to linger in the garden every day, and today I sat alone by the lake for a few hours, and I didn't know what to think! ”

Yuwen Zhihe said coldly: "Hmph, the saint is ignorant but not stupid, he also knows that his time is running out, so he breaks the jar and breaks it, and wants to see more of the scenery before he dies!" ”

"Uncle, you said that the saint stayed by the lake for so long, it wouldn't be because he wanted to commit suicide! Ha ha! Honorable Yang Shilan said with a smile.

Yuwen Zhihe had a gloomy face and said, "What do you care what he thinks!" I think we'll do it tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

Hu Benlang frowned at Sima Dejiao and said, "Isn't it too hasty?" Although we have informed the brothers, we are not yet fully prepared, so should we wait two more days? ”

Yu Wenzhi said impatiently: "What are you waiting for? It's not to go to the battlefield to fight, we're just 'exploring the bag and taking things', and we don't need to work so hard! As long as the eldest brother gives an order, the generals can lead the troops to enter the city smoothly under the response of the Lang Tang brothers at the city gate, and then go straight to the palace city, and General Pei will open the palace gate to answer us and others, and finally catch the saint. In this way, the big picture is decided in one fell swoop! ”

As a result, everyone looked at Yu Wenji, who was sitting in the center first, and waited for the final instructions of the mutinous leader.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yu Wenhua was a little nervous, and he actually had no opinion in his heart, but he had to express his position at the moment, so he asked in a low voice: "Second brother, isn't it too urgent to start things now, wouldn't it be better for us to make more preparations and be foolproof?" ”

Hearing this, Yuwen Zhihe knew that the eldest brother was afraid that he would be cowardly again, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and roared: "Big brother! It's always the sooner the better! It's better to be a day late than a day earlier, and if it's late, it will change! ”

Yu Wenhua then moved his gaze to the face of a general of the Xiaoguo Army, and saw that most of them did not support the current incident, so he used his imagination and persuaded: "Second brother, it's not a bad thing to be safe!" I have been with the saint for more than 20 years, and I know that the saint is forbearant and cunning by nature, maybe he has heard some rumors, what General Pei saw today is just an illusion that the saint deliberately showed us, the purpose is to paralyze us! ”

While the two Yuwen brothers were talking, Yuwenshu's third son, Yuwen Shihe, came to the door of the secret room, knocked on the door, and said, "Big brother, someone is coming to the palace, in the main hall, looking for you!" ”

Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Wenhua hurriedly gestured to everyone, signaled everyone to boo, and replied calmly: "Oh, I know, you go, I'll come out immediately!" ”

When Yu Wenshi left, Hu Benlang said with a smile: "What, you are still hiding this from Shiji?" ”

Yuwen Zhihe snorted coldly: "Our third brother, after all, he is a horse master!" Since I was a child, I couldn't pee in the same pot as my eldest brother! ”

After a while, Yu Wenhua tidied up his clothes, came to the main hall, saw that it was Wen Yidao, hurriedly walked two steps, hugged his fists and bowed down: "Oh, it's Director Wen!" That gust of wind has blown you here, and the younger generation is so polite! ”

Wen Yidao leaned sideways and said, "Xu Guogong, you can torture the old slave!" ”

Yu Wenhua and sneered: "Where, where." Director Wen is here, what is the so-called matter? ”

Wen Yidao arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said, "In the spirit of the Holy Lord's edict, the edict of the Gongyu culture of the country and the immediate audience!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Wenhua hurriedly bowed in the direction of the palace and said: "Yu Wenhua and the order!" ”

After worshipping, Yu Wenhua hurriedly inquired to Wen Yidao: "Director Wen, do you know that the Holy Lord summoned me late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Wen replied with a smile: "Don't you know if you go?" Hehe! ”

Yu Wenhua keenly found that Wen Yidao's attitude towards him today was a little ambiguous, which was really different from usual, and what he was doing now was a big crime of punishing the nine clans, so he was suspicious of this summons.

Just as he was hesitating, a hearty voice came from the side, saying, "Father, I'll go with you!" ”
