At the same time that Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, and Yu Shiji were secretly discussing the strategy to deal with Li Yuan, Empress Xiao hurriedly walked outside the hall and said to several imperial doctors on duty: "The Holy Lord is just a minor illness, and now that he has recovered his health, he is not allowed to go out and preach indiscriminately, have you heard?" ”

Several imperial doctors hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Please rest assured, the queen mother, we will never go out and talk nonsense!" ”

Everyone saluted and left, but Queen Xiao was still not at ease, and asked people to find the Wei family of the palace.

Wei is a palace maid who is about forty years old, and has served Yang Guang for nearly 30 years, from a small palace maid step by step to the second real power in the harem after Empress Xiao.

Wei's real power comes from the trust of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, in her, since Yang Guang indulged in wine, even Empress Xiao couldn't see him anymore, Yang Guang's daily life was all changed to Wei's responsibility, it was under Wei's careful arrangement that Yang Guang lived a drunken life for nearly a year, which made Empress Xiao extremely hateful to Wei, but she was helpless.

Not long after, the little eunuch who went to deliver the message came to report, "Qi Qi Empress Niang, Wei Si Palace said that she was unwell and could not come to see Niangniang, so she could only ask the Empress Niangniang for her guilt another day!" ”

Empress Xiao was furious, "The little maid dares to be so rude, come here!" Arrest this maid for the main palace. ”

At this time, a palace maid hurriedly whispered a few words to Empress Xiao, Empress Xiao was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "What you said is true?" ”

The palace maid knelt down and said: "What the maid said is true, the West Palace has already spread, but the saint doesn't know." ”

Empress Xiao fell into deep thought, and the eunuchs who were about to give the order saw that the momentum was not right, and they didn't dare to go to the order to arrest people.

The palace maid told Empress Xiao that the relationship between this Sikong Wei clan and Yuwen Zhihe was not ordinary, and she had to go to see Yuwen Zhiji every night, which really shocked Empress Xiao.

This Wei family does not have any outstanding appearance, and he is also old. Yuwen Zhihe couldn't have coveted her beauty, they must have other plans when they met at night.

Empress Xiao got up and wanted to tell the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, the Son of Heaven trusted the Wei family very much, and if she didn't have evidence, she would definitely not be able to take the Wei family, but she would startle the snake. It's better to get the evidence first.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiao called a few confidants and palace maids and whispered a few words to them.

……….

Although Empress Xiao ordered the news of the Son of Heaven's illness to be strictly sealed, the news of the Son of Heaven's serious illness still spread far and wide, and there were many discussions inside and outside the palace, many people were extremely worried, and it was an indisputable fact that the peripheral army was unstable, and now even the palace guards began to feel uneasy.

Before night fell, a carriage slowly drove out of the inner palace. Stopping in front of an official office, a woman in palace clothes in her forties stepped out of the carriage with the support of several palace maids, she was the Sigong Wei who held the power of the inner palace, perhaps because of her age, Wei no longer had the beauty of her youth, her body was thin and thin, her cheekbones were towering, and her eyes were as cold as an eagle. Looking at her appearance, you know that she is not a good stubble, and no one in the Jiangdu Palace is afraid of her.

She's apparently been to the office several times. There was no need to report, he walked directly to the official office, Yu Wenzhi and Wen Wen greeted him, bowed down and smiled: "Miss Wei is here." ”

Wei Shi smiled when she saw Yuwen Zhiji, completely lost the cold appearance just now, she took Yuwen Zhiji's hand and said delicately: "How can the second general thank the slave family today?" ”

"Good news today?"

Wei smiled and nodded. "News that satisfies the second general."

Yuwen Zhi and Da Xi hurriedly hugged her and walked towards the inner house, half an hour later, Wei Shi, who was full of spring, drank tea and said to Yu Wenzhi: "The saint is sick today is not usual. He had angina pectoris, and he fainted at one point, exactly the same symptoms as the last time Dr. Zhang told me. ”

Yuwen Zhihe rubbed his hands excitedly, they were about to finish, and he asked again, "What is the reaction in the palace?" ”

"Empress Xiao ordered the news to be blocked, but can the news be blocked? I have already asked people to spread the news, and it is estimated that the whole Jiang will know about it tomorrow. ”

"Ahh Did you get the word out? Yu Wenzhi was stunned.

Wei's face immediately became gloomy, "Didn't you ask me to spread all the unfavorable news?" Isn't that right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, the girl did it right."

"Then you'll have to work harder next time."

Wei stood up and patted Yuwen Zhiji's face, threw a wink at him, twisted his waist and walked away, Yuwen Zhiji looked at her back as she walked away, only to feel a burst of nausea, but now he has no choice, now he has a request for this woman.

"Wait until the big thing is done, and let a hundred men clean you up!" Yuwen Zhihe gritted his teeth for a while.

At this time, one of his subordinates hurriedly walked over and bowed down to report: "The general is in a hurry!" ”

The general mentioned by his subordinates was Yuwen Zhihe's brother Yu Wenhua, and Yuwen Zhihe was also about to discuss with his eldest brother, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurried to the western military camp.

Yu Wenhua has gradually controlled the 80,000 Xiaoguo army, he used the large number of Xiaoguo troops to flee as an excuse, so that Yang Guang listened to his slander, dismissed Yun Dingxing as a general, transferred Yun Dingxing to the military department, Yu Wenhua and promoted to the general of Zuotunwei, and mastered the power of the Xiaoguo army.

At present, the 80,000 Xiaoguo army is divided into two large camps, east and west, stationed on the east and west sides of Jiangdu Palace, and Yu Wenhua and he take turns to live in the east and west camps, so as to facilitate his complete control of military power.

In the big tent, Yu Wenhua and worriedly paced back and forth, he just received two unfavorable information, one is that the consumption of military food is huge, the food in their warehouse can only support half a month, the second news makes him even more worried, there are rumors that a 10,000-person cavalry appeared in Donghai County, although the news does not know the truth yet, but it is enough to make Yu Wenhua and shocked, he suddenly found that he has no time.

At this time, a soldier outside the tent reported: "The second general is here!" ”

Yu Wenhua nodded, "Let him in!" ”

After a while, Yu Wenzhi walked in excitedly, and said with a smile: "Tell my brother a good news, Zhang Yizheng's medicine has worked, and today the faint monarch actually fainted, at most half a month, the faint monarch will die!" ”

Yu Wenhua was not a little excited, he said worriedly: "Our plan may have to change, and we can't wait for ten days." ”

Yuwen Zhi was stunned, "Why?" ”

At this time, a soldier appeared in front of the tent and reported: "The Yuanshe people are here." ”

"You called Yuan Min too?" Yuwen Zhiji was a little surprised.

Yu Wenhua nodded and said to the soldier, "Please let him in!" ”

Yuwen Zhiji suddenly felt that the problem was a bit serious, and he asked urgently, "What happened?" ”

"It's hard to say, wait for Yuan Min to talk about it together!"

After a while, Yuan Min walked into the big tent quickly, and he was also a little surprised, "Huaji, what happened." ”

"Sit down and I'll tell you."

Yuan Min and Yu Wen Zhihe glanced at each other, the two sat down full of doubts, Yu Wenhua sighed, and said slowly: "Two things, the first is that we are short of food and grass, and the forage is enough, but the food can only support half a month. ”

Yuwen Zhihe suddenly said urgently: "Didn't you say that it can be supported for two months?" ”

"Two months includes 100,000 stone of summer grain from the counties of Jianghuai, but Du Fuwei occupies the counties of Jianghuai, and the summer grain is gone, so-"

"What about the grain in Jiangdu County?"

Yuan Min asked puzzledly: "Jiangdu County also has 30,000 stone summer grain, at least it can solve the urgent need." ”

"Don't forget Chen Ling's army, he struck first and took away the grain from Jiangdu County."

Yu Wenhua scolded hatefully, and said to the two of them: "Actually, the food problem is not very big, it really can't be done, I can collect the grain on the surface of Jiangdu, and I can still get 100,000 stone of grain, the key is the second thing, Zhang Xuan may be coming." ”

This news made the two jump in shock, "Big brother, how do you say this?" Yuwen Zhihe asked anxiously.

"I got the news from a businessman, it is said that there is a cavalry in Donghai County, there are more than 10,000 people, I think it can't be the Wagang army, except for us and Zhang Xuan's Qingzhou army, no one can have such a powerful cavalry."

"Is the news reliable?"

Yu Wenhua shook his head, "That merchant also heard about it, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so I can only say that it is possible, but in any case, we must prepare for the worst." ”

The three of them were silent, according to Yuan Min's plan, Yang Guang, the son of heaven, would die violently due to excessive drinking, and then they supported Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, to ascend the throne, and finally Yang Gao gave the throne to Yu Wenhua, but if it was really the arrival of Zhang Xuan's army, I am afraid that their plan would not be implemented.

After a long time, Yuan Min said in a deep voice: "I just got the news this afternoon, the faint monarch has officially canonized Zhang Xuan as the king of Qi, Shangzhu Kingdom, and the general of the hussars, I'm afraid that Zhang Xuan's arrival is the secret decree of the faint monarch, let him come to escort King Qin, we don't have much time." ”

The Yuwen brothers no longer care about what kind of king Zhang Xuan makes, they only care about their own interests, at this time, Yuwen Zhihe gritted his teeth and said: "Just don't do it, just kill the faint king, and don't give Zhang Xuan any chance." ”

This is actually Yu Wenhuaji's idea, so he asked his brother and Yuan Min to come over to discuss, Yu Wenhua and looked at Yuan Min again, "What do you think?" ”

Yuan Min felt that it was inappropriate, Zhang Xuan didn't know what his intentions were, so he first took on the charge of killing the king, which was really a stupid decision, he pondered for a moment and said, "Have you considered the consequences?" ”

Yu Wenhua said coldly: "Since I want to do great things, I can't look ahead and backward, I succeeded, and the annals of history will be written by me, if I fail, then let others comment." ”

Now that the words have come to this extent, Yuan Min feels that he has no need to persuade anymore, this is the choice of his two brothers, and it has nothing to do with the Yuan family, he nodded, "Since this is the case, then do it!" (To be continued.) )
