Chapter 50: Suspected Neighbor Stealing the Axe

Yuwen Zhao was like a sleepy beast, after returning home, he smashed seven or eight pieces of exquisite porcelain in a row, and the fire in his heart was slightly reduced, and the people in the house heard a banging sound from inside, and no one dared to approach the hall.

Yu Wenfang walked in gently from the outside, seeing his father so out of shape, the heart that was originally like stagnant water suddenly rippled slightly, Zhao Wangzhao has always been very well maintained, when he was in Xiangyang, his hair was still black and shiny, and his white face was as soft and lustrous as jade, and it was less than a month after entering Beijing, his hair had turned from black to gray, and the jade-like luster on his face was completely gone, and his eyes were often bloodshot.

"Father, why are you so angry, what happened?"

"It's over, it's over, our Yuwen family is going to be finished, your cousin is as timid as a mouse, and it's not enough to get things done." King Zhao muttered.

Yu Wenfang was confused when he heard it: "What does my father mean by this?" ”

Yuwen Zhao didn't want to say more, stroked his beloved daughter's long hair and said: "Fang'er, my father asked you to marry to the Turks, it used to be the emperor's intention, and my father couldn't object, but now that the emperor is gone, the power is in the hands of the prime minister, and my father still can't object, do you say that my father is very cowardly?" ”

"No, father, I know that my father has a hard time, otherwise he wouldn't have let me marry to the Turks."

Yuwen Zhao nodded: "Yes, my father has a hard time, and my father is afraid that the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou will be taken away, so I want you to marry the Turks, which is to give the Great Zhou an extra layer of protection." ”

Yu Wenfang was taken aback, his father was just suffering from powerlessness before, and he would never say that the Great Zhou was taken away, Yu Wenfang looked up and said in disbelief: "Father, how is it possible, who dares to usurp the Great Zhou Jiangshan, is it the prime minister?" ”

"Who else is there besides Pu Liurujian's unfamiliar wolf cub, now he has great power, although on the surface there is a clan relative who is the right prime minister, and the other is the pillar country, but everyone knows that the king of Han praises and the king of Qin is not a weapon, they are just an ornament."

Yu Wenfang has read many history books, but he doesn't believe his father's words a little: "Father, you are too worried, Pu Liurujian is just a powerful minister, the general manager of the Great Saturday has heavy troops, and the four imperial uncles are outside, how dare Pu Liurujian mess around, isn't he afraid that someone will climb up and shout, he will die without a place to be buried?" ”

Yuwen shook his head: "Fang'er, don't you know, in the past two years, his father has seen every move he has made in his eyes, seeing Pu Liurujian borrow the hand of Emperor Xuan, step by step to cut off the loyal ministers and good generals of the Great Zhou, and ascend to the position of great suspicion, but there is no evidence, but the father is patient with him, and now Pu Liurujian even dares to treat the East Palace as the Prime Minister's Mansion, the traces have been revealed, but many people turn a blind eye, and the father can no longer watch, Fang'er, the father asks you to do one thing." ”

"If the daughter can do it, she will naturally die, and her father will ask for whatever he wants."

Yuwen Zhao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Wenfang: "You ask Mei'er to find an opportunity to leave the house, hand over this letter to King Bi, let him pass it on to several princes outside, and tell them that if there is no important matter, they must not enter Beijing together." ”

The letter was not sealed, Yu Wenfang was curious for a while, pulled out the letter paper, and saw that it was written: "In June of the first year of Xuanzheng, Ding You, Emperor Wu collapsed; Wuxu, the crown prince is the emperor's throne; Jiazi, Zhu Qi Wang Xian.

In the leap month of Yihai, the concubine Puliuru was the queen; In July, Puliu Rujian was the upper pillar country and the great Sima.

In August, Sun Lan, the governor of Shangzhu, was the great Situ, and Wang Yi was the great Sikong, both of whom were friends and in-laws of Pu Liurujian. In the first month of the first year of the elephant, the big front suspected Yue Wang Sheng, the big right Bi Wei Chi Yuan, and the big left assistant Li Mu were all released, and the position of the Yue Wang was cut off, and the fourth assistant only left Pu Liurujian alone in Beijing, and soon Pu Liurujian was reappointed as the big front suspect.

In February of the first year of the elephant, the emperor was located in the crown prince, proclaimed himself the emperor of Tianyuan, and punished Yuwen Xiaobo, Yuwen Shenju, and Wang Rail.

……

This is recorded in the facts since Emperor Tianyuan ascended to the pole, every case is simply bloody, every once in a while there are ministers or killed, or degraded, and some people are promoted, many killed, degraded ministers have a grudge against Pu Liurujian, or have a grudge, and most of the people who have been promoted are close to Pu Liurujian, and Pu Liurujian has climbed to a higher power step by step with this, until today's prime minister.

Although everything on this is not Pu Liurujian himself, but it is beneficial to him afterwards, so it is even more terrifying for Pu Liurujian, every time King Zhao adds a record to this letter, he can't help but be frightened, as if he saw that a person is demolishing the beams of the house in Da Zhou little by little, and building a new house next to it.

Seeing the facts recorded on this letter, Yu Wenfang also had to believe it, otherwise how could everything be so coincidental: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely let Mei'er send the letter." ”

Yu Wenxian returned to his own mansion, the words of the sixth uncle during the day were always recalled in his ears, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, since the sixth uncle said so, he was dissatisfied with his uncle, it was certain, but he had always been indisputable with the world, how could he arouse the suspicion of his uncle, Yang Xiong served as a don't drive in Yongzhou, of course Yu Wenxian would know the subtlety, it's just that he has been less in contact with his uncle's family recently, and if there is less communication, of course, there will be estrangement, and it seems that he will have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion more in the future.

After figuring it out, Yu Wenxian felt at ease, and after a few days, Yu Wenxian personally came to the door and presented Yang Jian with a few fox furs sewn from high-quality fox skins and a seven-pound Yellow River carp. As a gift.

Although it is now May day and the weather is hot, it is just that Yang Jian's legs have rheumatism and are easy to get cold, and the fox fur can be covered at night, and although the carp is not a rare thing, it is only seven catties but it is rare, especially rare and alive.

Seeing the gifts given by Yu Wenxian, Yang Nut was very happy, of course he was not happy with these gifts, but Yu Wenxian made his position clear, he supported Yang Jian, Yu Wenxian is the son of Emperor Ming, with his support, Yang Jian does not have to worry that all the clans will rise up against him.

Yang Jian immediately asked someone to take the seven-pound Yellow River carp to the kitchen and kill it, leaving Yu Wenxian to have lunch together, and let Yang Tian, Yang Ying and others accompany him.

Yu Wenxian is thirty years old, and the age difference between Yang Tian and others is too big, Yang Tian has only seen him two or three times, so he is not very familiar, but Yu Wenxian saw Yang Tian very affectionately, one cousin shouted, and also brought gifts to Yang Tian and Yang Ying, what was given to Yang Tian was a military book, but what was given to Yang Ying was mostly something to play.

Yang Tian took the book of soldiers, roughly opened it and looked at it, it turned out to be a previous lone book, which recorded Li Mu, Bai Qi and many other famous generals in the Warring States period with military strategies, Yang Tian was very happy, Li Mu is undoubtedly one of the most respected generals in Yang Tian's previous life, he led the Zhao soldiers to repeatedly hit the enemy army and did not taste defeat, especially the battle of breaking the Xiongnu to create a typical example of the infantry corps in the history of Chinese warfare to annihilate the cavalry corps, if it were not for the Zhao State to destroy the Great Wall and kill Li Mu, whether the six countries could be unified in the hands of Qin Shi Huang is still known, Even if it can be unified, with Li Mu's ability, I am afraid that it can at least continue the national fortune for Zhao Guoduo for several more years.

Now the situation of the Great Zhou is similar to the previous situation of the Zhao State, which is also facing the invasion of the northern minorities, the former is the Xiongnu, the latter is the Turkic, the strategy of the Great Zhou is of course better than that of the Zhao State, the Great Zhou has unified the north, but now the strength of the Turks is also stronger than the strength of the Huns faced by the Zhao State before, and Li Mu's strategy to deal with the Huns is just used to deal with the Turks.

Yang Tian knew that his cousin must have put a lot of effort into getting such a unique book, and now he gave it to himself generously, which is also rare, so he hurriedly thanked him.

Yu Wenxian hurriedly shook his hand: "Cousin don't thank me, as the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, the cousin defeated the Turkic army of 20,000 with only 2,000 people, and repelled 100,000, that is, Li Mu, Bai Qi reborn, and it may not be possible, although the foolish brother is a state pastor, he has no interest in military affairs, and it is a waste to leave this book in his hand, and it is just right to give it to his cousin. ”

At this time, although the Great Zhou was a tribute to the Turks, and it was a relative, but from before the death of Emperor Wu, the entire Great Zhou was preparing for the conquest of the Turks, but the day was not a holiday, Emperor Wu died of illness when he was about to send troops, and the conquest of the Turks had to be suspended.

Yang Tian said with a smile: "I borrowed my cousin's auspicious words, if I go to the Turks one day, my brother will naturally be unwilling to be left behind." ”

The Dugu clan had already commanded the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to bring up the dishes one by one, and the seven-pound Yellow River carp was in the middle, and when he heard the conversation between Yang Tian and Yu Wenxian, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about these military affairs, let's eat." ”

Yuwenxian's mother-in-law Dugu Brahma was poisoned to death by Yuwen Hu after only two months as the queen, Yuwen Xian was only a few years old at the time, and three years later, Yuwen Hu simply poisoned Emperor Ming to death, and supported Emperor Wu to ascend the throne, Yuwen Xian became an orphan at the age of five or six.

Dugu Xin once took this grandson to his home to live for a period of time, the age difference between Dugu and Yu Wenxian is less than a year, the two have been together for a few years when they were children, Dugu also has some feelings for this nephew who is about the same age as himself, and when he came to the door, he was happy in his heart, and his voice revealed a little joy.

Hearing Dugu's urging, the two had to look at each other and smile, and sat down under the command of Dugu's family, Yang Jian also talked and laughed at the dinner table, and the family ate happily.

After Yang Tian sent Yu Wenxian and came back, Yang Jian had already summoned his nephew Yang Xiong in the study and asked: "Didn't you say that Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenzhao conspired, then why did Yu Wenxian give a gift today?" ”

Yang Xiong was stunned for a moment before he said, "Prime Minister, I don't know what kind of gift King Bi sent?" ”

Yang Jian roughly said the gift, and Yang Xiong said: "Prime Minister, King Bi is harboring evil intentions and satirizing the Prime Minister." ”

Yang Jian asked suspiciously, "What is the explanation?" ”

Yang Xiong said: "He sent the fox fur to his uncle, which is in response to a scolding idiom fox fake tiger might, seven is missing, seven catties of carp is the meaning of lack of reason, can't you just send seven catties of big carp, not send six catties, eight catties?" ”

Yang Tian just heard this, he had already seen that Yu Wenxian was timid and cautious, and it was impossible for him to dare to secretly sarcastically mock his father, so he pushed the door and smiled: "This explanation is too far-fetched, otherwise what does he say about the military book he sent me, I think Yu Wenxian has strengthened ties with us, indicating the intention of investment, and having such a prince by our side will undoubtedly play a great stabilizing role in Da Zhou." ”

Hearing Yang Tian's words, Yang Jian suddenly felt quite reasonable, and was about to agree, Yang Xiong hurriedly said: "Shizi, don't be deceived by Yu Wenxian, he gave Shizi a book of soldiers, and the conspiracy is even bigger, Bai Qi, what kind of person is Li Mu, although they are invincible, but all of them are wiped out, not to mention that he only gave Shizi a book of soldiers, isn't it that the son of the Tao can only be a general?" ”

Although Yang Xiong is the son of Yang Tian's second uncle, Yang Jian married Dugu at the age of twenty-six, and all Yang Tian is the eldest son of the big house, but he is eight years younger than Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong's words made Yang Jian's heart feel like a thorn in his heart, whether these gifts were given by Yu Wenxian unintentionally, or whether they really had their meaning, he would rather believe them than believe them: "Okay, Xiong'er, continue to strengthen the surveillance of Yu Wenxian, and if there is any change, he will immediately take his military power." ”

"Yes." Yang Xiong responded excitedly, with this order, he could remove the stone on his head at any time, but Yang Jian's order could not make him completely satisfied, and continued to ask: "What to do if he resists." ”

"This ......" Yu Wenxian has always respected Yang Jian, and he has been called an uncle-in-law for almost ten years, but these are nothing compared to the great cause: "It's best to capture it alive, if it doesn't work, kill it." ”

"Yes." Yang Xiong finally got the answer he wanted.

Yang Tian was secretly alert when he heard it, his father had already revealed his suspiciousness, and it seemed that he should pay more attention in the future, otherwise he would end up with the fate of being abolished.
