The death of Yu Wenyong is really a regrettable and sad thing for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and for the country, there is one less ruler who is eloquent and strategic, and scolds Fang Xuan; For the vast number of the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they lost a generous, benevolent, just and strict monarch; For people with lofty ideals, they are missing a lord who is humble and dares to act.

However, for some petty traitors, the news of Yu Wenyong's death is great news, they finally no longer have to look up at the insurmountable mountain, no longer have to be honestly afraid, and carefully bury their ambitions and desires deeply. And among these people, Prince Yuwen is the happiest.

There is no hatred for no reason in the world, and there is no love for no reason, and Yuwen's hatred for Yuwen Yong stems from the latter's love for the former.

People, whether they are peddlers and pawns, or dignitaries, parents always hope that their sons will become dragons. In his eyes, Yuwen is not only the continuation of his life, but also the inheritor of the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the inheritor of his great ambition.

It is precisely based on this that his requirements for Yuwen are very strict, strict and almost harsh. No matter how cold or hot it is, above the court, Yuwen is no different from ordinary ministers, and he must not have the slightest rest and slackness. Yuwen loves to drink, so Yuwen Yong ordered the East Palace to ban alcohol, and he used sticks and sticks to him, scolded and scolded him mercilessly.

In Yuwen's heart, Yuwen Yong is not a father, but a cold-blooded and cruel tyrant, a stumbling block to his free pleasure. Now, the mountain that weighs on his heart has collapsed, and no one in the world can control his will, how can he not rejoice and look up to the sky and smile?

"Your Highness!" Just when Yuwen was dancing and getting carried away, a low call suddenly sounded in his ears, but it was the woman who was happy under him.

Yuwen is in a good mood now, Fang Cai's unhappiness naturally disappeared, and when he heard the call of the beauty, he looked down and saw that the beauty was pale, worried, and wanted to cry, not as happy as himself.

Yuwen couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely: "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

The woman barely wrapped the spring light on her body with her clothes, sat up, and looked at Yuwen seriously: "Your Highness, the emperor has died, the world is sad, and the slave family thinks about the emperor's past kindness and can't help but feel a little sad." ”

Yuwen frowned immediately when he heard this, and his face showed a hint of displeasure. This Zhu Manyue has been with him for many years, not only taking care of his daily life, but also letting him experience the joy of men and women, and winning his favor. However, Zhu Manyue knew that he was angry with his father Emperor Yu Wenyong, but now he was like this, which really made him angry.

"Your Highness, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and your words and deeds are in the eyes of others, so you need to be cautious!" Zhu Manyue was fearless, and said unhurriedly: "Your Royal Highness is a son of man, and he should be filial to his father, and the prince of a country must know how to be filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, otherwise it will be inevitable to be passive!" ”

Yuwen was shocked, and the excitement in his heart suddenly subsided a lot. The meaning revealed by Zhu Manyue is very clear: You have not yet ascended the throne and become the emperor, everything is unknown, and you must have some scruples in your words and deeds, otherwise you will become the handle of others' attacks, and you are afraid that you will regret it.

"What the concubine said is very true, the widow has been taught, and he will treat the widow to ascend to the treasure every day, and he will call your mother the world!" Yuwen frowned and said with a smile.

"The slave family doesn't dare to ask for extravagance, hoping to accompany His Highness day and night, and share his worries and sorrows!" Zhu Manyue is just a lowly palace maid, and her qualifications are not even a princess, at most she is a concubine, but now when she hears Yuwen say this, her heart is sweet, and she can't help but be overjoyed.

"Justice, your news is very timely, and the widow will remember your merits, and you will have a reward in the future." Yuwen looked at Zheng Yi, who was still kneeling on the ground, extremely respectful, and was very satisfied in his heart, and his tone was very gentle and authentic.

"I don't dare to take credit for my humble duties, I just hope to follow His Highness before and after the saddle, and gallop on the horse in the future, pointing to the world!" The joy in Zheng Yi's heart was no less than that of Yuwen, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Zheng Yi is also a little talented, but his mind is mostly used for speculation, flattery and bullying. Since following Yuwen, this guy hasn't done much good.

Some time ago, Yuwen led the army west to conquer Tuyuhun, and when he arrived in the capital of Tuyuhun, he hurriedly returned to the court, which was the result of Zheng Yi and Wang Duan's advice. Moreover, these two people also collaborated with Yuwen to do a lot of degrading things, and they didn't take Wang Liang and Yuwen Xiaobo in their eyes. Later, Wang Liang showed Yuwen's various bad deeds to Yuwen Yong, and Yuwen Yong was furious, so he beat Zheng Yi and others out of the East Palace.

Yes, Zheng Yi and others hated and angered Yu Wenyong. Yuwen Yong led the army to the east, and Yuwen was less controlled, so he recalled Zheng Yi and others back to the East Palace, and they colluded and acted nonsense. Now that Yuwen Yong has passed away, Yuwen is about to take power, and Zheng Yi, who is quite favored by him, naturally has a sense of excitement and joy to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

"Good, good!" Yuwen's heart was agitated, and he imagined in his mind that he was in a high position, the civil and military officials knelt down under his feet, and the people of the world trembled, and a very wonderful feeling hit his heart, which made him tremble slightly.

"Justice, you quickly mobilize the widow's guards, pay close attention to the movements of Chang'an City, and if anyone makes any changes, control them immediately!" After a while, Yuwen's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Ling, send someone to get the widow's token out of the city to meet Yang Guogong, don't let the edict fall into the hands of others!" ”

Although Yuwen is arrogant and extravagant, he is not learned or unskilled, but he was born in the family of the emperor and is used to seeing the darkness and blood of power, he is not mentally retarded, and naturally understands what to do at this time. Although he is the crown prince and has the position of supervising the country at this time, as long as Yu Wenyong's edict is not issued to the world for a day, he will not be able to really control the country.

"Yes!" Zheng Yi's heart was surging, and he answered loudly and took the token handed by Yuwen and left in a hurry.

"Your Royal Highness, although you are the crown prince, there are many people in the court who have ghosts in their hearts and cannot believe you, and the slave family thinks that you should know about this matter Zuo Gongzheng (the head of the imperial palace) Yuwen Xiaobo." After a pause, Zhu Manyue continued: "Lord Yuwen is steady and serious, and he has quite a prestige in the court, and it should be much easier for him to plan for you. ”

Yuwen frowned, and lowered his eyebrows.

Although Yuwen Xiaobo's official position is not high, he holds extremely important responsibilities, which shows Yuwen Yong's trust in him. Yuwen Xiaobo's loyalty to Da Zhou and Yuwen Yong, Yuwen does not need to doubt it, but his human nature is upright, and naturally he does not have much in common with Yuwen, a despicable person.

After thinking for a while, a gleam flashed in Yuwen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "What Concubine Ai said is good, the widow will go to Yuwen Xiaobo." As he spoke, Yuwen smiled again, and slammed a handful into Zhu Manyue's arms, causing the latter to scream in shock, while he laughed, pulled the clothes on the ground casually, and walked out in the shape of a corpse.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and paper cannot hold fire at all. No matter how reluctant Yuwen was, the news of Yuwenyong's death still spread. Suddenly, the whole country was shocked, the people were panicked, and the people with ill intentions were fierce and ready to move.

On November 20, Ji Wang Yuwenkang, Duke Yuwenliang spread the word to the world, Zheng Yi, Wang Duan and others pretended to be the name of the prince, acted arbitrarily and colluded with the wings, not only assassinated Yuwenyong, but also led to the failure of the Eastern Expedition.

So the two of them held high the banner of "Qingjun's side", sent 100,000 troops, and attacked all the way, but they besieged Chang'an in one day.

Yu Wenwen has no virtue, he does evil on weekdays, Zheng Yi and others are even more pretending to be tigers, and the dog is powerful, offending many people. And there are already many people in the royal family Yuwen clan who are salivating for the throne, and at this time, Yuwenkang is the leader, and the responders are very heavy. There are also many people who want to depose Yuwen and set up his younger brother Yuwen Yuan as the prince and inherit the great treasure.

When Chang'an was in the midst of war, in the Jinyang Palace, thousands of miles away, Emperor Gao Yanzong's mood was very complicated and depressed.

Looking at the white clothes in front of him, handsome and flawlessly happy, Gao Yanzong's eyes were half-narrowed, his face was very embarrassing, and his fists clenched in his sleeves trembled slightly. He was the emperor of the Great Qi Empire, but he did not have the slightest superiority and dignity in front of happiness, and the latter's penetrating and condescending eyes made him very angry and hateful.

If possible, Gao Yanzong would like to crush Xing into a ball of flesh with his huge size, but this can only be his intention. He couldn't forget the scene of the young man killing like a demon that night, and he knew more clearly that it was the young man in front of him who defeated Yuwen Yong, and the 300,000 army was almost wiped out.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your complexion is getting better and better." Happy with a warm and kind smile on his face.

"Hypocrisy!" Gao Yanzong scolded secretly in his heart, and he could see the coldness in his happy eyes. Raising his eyebrows slightly, Gao Yanzong smiled and said, "Thanks to my nephew, everything is fine." The virtuous nephew has won a great victory for several days and defeated the Zhou thief, which is really gratifying! ”

"Thank you uncle for the compliment, I wonder if you have anything to reward me?" smiled happily, stared at Gao Yanzong tightly, and said lightly.

Gao Yanzong's breathing tightened, and a flash of anger flashed on his face, can't you wait, so naked. Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Gao Yanzong said with a smile: "I don't know what reward the virtuous nephew wants, as long as I allow it, I will definitely satisfy you!" Gao Yanzong's tone was a little dry, and his smile was very reluctant.

How noble he was, and now let a little bastard be so slow.

"According to my uncle's intelligence, don't you know what my little nephew wants?" The curvature of the corners of Xingxing's mouth rose slightly, and his tone was still flat, but a cold aura slowly diffused from his body.

"I'm a little confused, and I'll ask my nephew to speak clearly." Gao Yanzong's face turned completely cold, and he said bluntly.

Xing Xing shook his head gently, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be mocking, as if he was disdainful, "The person you sent to deliver the letter to Rencheng Wang Gao met the robbers halfway and unfortunately died, and the little nephew got the secret letter by luck, and this thing was returned to the original owner." As he spoke, he happily handed a letter stained with dark red blood to Gao Yanzong.

Looking at the dark red blood stains on the letter, Gao Yanzong's face turned pale, his body staggered, and he sat down on the ground in a daze, silently closing his eyes.
