Early the next morning, the residents of Zhang Shanfang found that Yuwen Mansion hung out a white flag, this is someone died, people in the workshop talked about it, someone saw the princess and the horse car driving over at night, everyone guessed, it is very likely that Yuwenshu died.

Soon, the news of Yuwenshu's death spread all over Luoyang City, Yuwenshu started by the whole person, countless people were ruined in his hands, so that he made countless enemies in the government and the opposition, few people sympathized with his death, most people couldn't help but rejoice when they heard the news of his death, and many people even heard the sound of gongs and drums.

But the cause of Yuwenshu's death is different, some people say that he died a few years ago, and it is normal to delay his death until now, and some insiders say that it was because of his son Yuwenzhi and the accident, Yuwenshu was angry to death.

There was a cry in the Yuwen Mansion, and Yu Wenhua and Dai Xiao stood in front of the mourning hall to accept some old officials to come to mourn their filial piety.

At this time, Yuan Min, a member of the Zhongshu House, hurriedly came, he bowed to Yu Wenhua, and entered the spiritual shed to worship incense, and after a while, he came out and whispered to Yu Wenhua: "Brother Yuwen borrowed a step to speak." ”

The two walked to the side, and Won Min asked, "How is the situation with Zhiji?" ”

Yu Wenhua sighed, "My life was saved, but without my legs, I couldn't stand up in the second half of my life, but I don't know who made the poison!" In the end, Yu Wenhua couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Doesn't he himself know?"

"He was so drunk that he said he remembered that in a wood, he didn't know who caught him and who did it, but he said it might be—"

"It could be Jang Hyun, right?" Yuan Min said coldly.

Yu Wenhua was shocked, "How does Brother Xian know?" ”

"He told me last night that he had a clash with Jang Hyun's men at noon, and he broke Yang Shanhui's limbs, so he broke a pair of legs, isn't it a tooth for a tooth?"

"This damn bastard!"

Yu Wenhua and hatred are so angry that their eyes are red. "My father died at his hands, and I will report to the Holy One, so that the Holy One will come and punish him severely!"

Yuan Min shook his head, "If there is no evidence, I advise my brother not to act rashly." ”

At this moment, a family member came to report. "Childe, His Royal Highness King Yan has come down."

Yu Wenhua and Yuan Min were all startled, this was King Yan coming to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, Yu Wenhua didn't care about Yuan Min, and hurriedly walked towards the spirit shed, only to see Yan Wang Yang Qi dressed in plain white, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, walking expressionlessly.

Yu Wenhua hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Weichen see His Highness!" ”

Although Yang Qi hated Yuwen for misleading the country, the emperor's grandfather ordered him to come to pay his filial piety. He didn't dare not come, he held back the boredom in his heart, and stretched out his hand to support it, "People can't be resurrected after death, please Yuwen Gongzi mourn and change, the Son of Heaven should have come to mourn filial piety in person, but his body has not yet recovered, so he had to let the representative of this king come." ”

Yu Wenhua and wept and said: "Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your care! ”

Yang Qi didn't say more, and walked into the mourning shed to worship incense. At this time, Yuan Min gave Yu Wenhua and a look, Yu Wenhua and understanding, and when Yang Qi came out, he knelt down and cried again: "My father died of excessive grief because of his brother Zhihe's injury, Zhiji was seriously injured, and begged His Highness to be the master of Weichen!" ”

"Who injured your brother?" Yang Qi was already a little impatient in his heart. But he still held back his anger and asked.

"Your Royal Highness, my brother was seriously injured by Zhang Xuan's hands, tortured in the silkworm room and lost his legs, which is extremely cruel!"

Yang Qi frowned, how could it be Zhang Xuan. He shook his head and said, "Childe is mistaken!" Jang Hyun only came back from Mayi County yesterday, for no reason, how could he hurt your brother? ”

"Your Highness doesn't know because Zhiji had a little misunderstanding with his subordinates at noon yesterday, so he held a grudge and took revenge on Zhiji cruelly last night."

Yang Qi pondered, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"This ...... Because Jang Hyun was too cunning to leave any evidence, but I knew it was him! ”

Yang Qi's face sank, "General Zhang is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is the first hero of this rescue, this king knows that his merits will make many people jealous, but if there is no evidence, it is best not to plant it indiscriminately, if it is not for the sake of Ling Zun's death, this king will never spare the ill-intentioned people!" ”

Yang Qi couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked away quickly, Yu Wenhua and his face were white and red, he knew that Yang Qi had always favored Zhang Xuan, which made him vomit blood with hatred in his heart, but there was no way.

At this time, Yuan Min stepped forward and said seriously: "Without evidence, Childe should not expect others to make decisions for you, if you want to avenge this, Childe can only rely on himself, and one day, Childe will be in charge of the world, are you afraid that you will not be able to kill Zhang Xuan?" ”

Won Min's very straightforward provocation did not make Yu Wenhua and disgusted, on the contrary, Yuan Min's words spoke to his heart, and he slowly clenched his fists, this is his father's will, he must wait for this day to come.

Zhang Xuan led the army to leave the capital overnight, he didn't know the news of Yuwenshu's death, and he couldn't imagine that his revenge on Yuwen Zhiji would be angry with Yuwenshu, if he knew, he would definitely put on a drink to celebrate the death of the great enemy.

Before dawn, the army came to Longtan, which is a deep pool formed by Yishui, moored thousands of Yang Guang's large ships, with special officials in charge of guarding, Zhang Xuan really admired Yu Shiji's power and efficiency, just yesterday afternoon, he got the approval of the Ministry of Industry's Ship Department and the transfer order of the Shaofu Supervisor, allowing him to select ten large ships from the miscellaneous ships to go south.

The so-called miscellaneous ships are ships other than the dragon boat team, mainly auxiliary ships that transport materials or grain and grass, and at least half of the dragon boat team of the Son of Heaven belong to miscellaneous ships, and the load is more than 1,000 stones.

The dragon boat is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Supervisor Zuo Shang, not only the dragon boat, the Son of Heaven chariot and other water and land walking tools are within their purview, the official responsible for taking care of the dragon boat is Zuo Shangcheng, just an eight-grade petty official, named He Zhengyu, in addition to the official office, there are also a thousand soldiers responsible for guarding the safety of the dragon boat.

When Zhang Xuan handed over the ship transfer order signed by Yu Shiji to this Zuo Shangcheng, He Zhengyu was full of stammering, bowed down and smiled at Zhang Xuan: "Although the general picks the ship, the two thousand miscellaneous ships can be chosen by the general." ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "I want a few big ships, I heard that two transoceanic boats are also here, does He Zhicheng know?" ”

Hengyangzhou is the name of the army, He Zhengyu is just a small civil official of the eighth grade, he has never heard of it, he looked through the registration book for a long time, but could not find the so-called Hengyangzhou, at this time, a shrewd old official next to him reminded in a low voice: "I'm afraid General Zhang is talking about the two big ships that transport forage." ”

He Zhengyu suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Could it be that General Fei refers to the two largest forage ships?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "I'll see if I look at it." ”

He Zhengyu hurriedly arranged a small boat to accompany Zhang Xuan into Longtan, which was densely packed with all kinds of boats, covering the sky and the sun, stretching for dozens of miles, and he couldn't find the boat he wanted from the shore at all, and walked seven or eight miles, He Zhengyu pointed to the two big boats anchored in the middle of the river in front of him, "That's it!" ”

Although these two ships were a little dilapidated, Zhang Xuan still recognized them at a glance, they were the two transoceanic boats he was looking for, the hulls were unusually large, and they were mixed with hundreds of ships transporting forage and grain, which made Zhang Xuan sigh secretly in his heart, the country's heavy weapons were ignored to such a point, which also proved the decline of the Great Sui Dynasty from one side.

The old official who accompanied them to watch the ship next to him was a knowledgeable person, and he also sighed and said: "When the Great Sui Dynasty was in its heyday, we built ten such ocean-going ships in Luoyang and Jiangning, but now there are only two left, and no one cares about them anymore. ”

Zhang Xuan glanced at him and asked with a smile, "What is the name of this big brother?" ”

"Don't dare, the villain's name is Wang Heng, and he was the deputy manager of the Luoyang Shipyard."

Zhang Xuan's heart moved, he felt that this thin old official was hinting to himself, since he was the deputy manager of the Luoyang Shipyard, he must know these two transoceanic boats very well.

Zhang Xuan smiled at He Zhengyu and said: "He Zhicheng, I don't know much about ships, and I just lack a person who understands ships, so it's better to lend me this subordinate of yours too!" ”

"This"

He Zhengyu glanced back at Wang Heng, and Wang Heng hurriedly said, "I am willing to follow General Zhang south." ”

He Zhengyu didn't dare to refuse Zhang Xuan, so he had to agree, "Okay! I have no opinion. ”

Everyone went ashore, He Zhengyu went to arrange the boat, and Zhang Xuan smiled at Wang Heng at this time: "If I guess correctly, these two transoceanic boats were personally supervised by Steward Wang, right!" ”

Wang Heng bowed, his eyes were a little moist, and his voice choked: "Only the general in the world understands its importance, how can I, Wang Heng, not follow the general!" ”。 (To be continued.) )
