Chapter 2: Betrayal (3)
Under the spread of well-intentioned people, in less than two days, the disrespectful behavior of Yu Wenshi and the same imperial doctor who asked His Majesty the Emperor to treat his father reached Yang Guang's ears. To the great disappointment of the communicators, instead of being furious when Yang Guang got the news, he immediately summoned the imperial physician Zhang Liangzhong to inquire about Yu Wenshu's condition.
Knowing that his old ministers were running out, Yang Guang disregarded the dissuasion of his ministers, struggled to jump off the sickbed, ordered the guards to set up the car, and went straight to the mansion of Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu. Before he stepped into the door of Yuwen's house, Shi Ji had already taken the family to kneel out to greet him.
"Your Majesty is so gracious, the Yuwen family is unforgettable!" As the temporary head of the family, Yu Wenshi stopped the car and shouted in a choked voice while kowtowing.
"You rebel, Old General Yuwen is sick like this, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Yang Guang was helped out of the carriage by the ministers, and asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not a strange man. Grandpa, Grandpa is afraid that His Majesty will worry, so I am not allowed to disclose his illness to the outside! "Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi, who were dressed in slave clothes, knelt behind Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenzhi and the two, and kowtowed again and again.
"Alas, this old general Yuwen! If he doesn't say it, my heart will feel better! Yang Guang didn't care about the identities of Hua and Hezhi anymore, paused and sighed. Where is the old general Yuwen, take me to see him quickly! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Grandpa kept saying that he wanted to see His Majesty again, but he couldn't get out of bed now. Otherwise, you will definitely come out to greet you! Yu Wenshi wiped away his tears and replied very politely.
"When are you still talking to me about this!" Yang Guang shook off the two ministers who were supporting him, and stretched out his hand to pick up Yu Wenshi from the ground, "You lead the way in front of your head, don't delay." I, I also miss the old general Yuwen very much! Speaking of emotion, his eyes were already red.
This performance is by no means contrived. The friendship between him and Yu Wenshu can be traced back to more than 20 years ago. Yang Guang, who was the king of Jin at that time, practiced frugality in his own home in order to curry favor with the first emperor. There are no more than two dishes per meal, and the clothes he wears and the shoes and socks on his feet are all sewn by his wife. Every time there was a reward in the palace, he used most of it to buy books, and half used it to intersect with literati, and after careful calculation, the real expenditure on the Jin Palace's Mansion was less than one-tenth of that of the Prince Yang Yong's Mansion.
Such a simple behavior did earn him the admiration of the emperor and the reputation of virtue. But Yang Guang never saved the cost of buying eyeliner in the palace and interacting with the children of the family in private. He learned that Yang Su liked Cai Yong's characters in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and actually spent more than 20,000 copper coins to buy it from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River and sent it to Yang Su's mansion privately as a birthday gift. In order to curry favor with Gao Ying, the prime minister at the time, he sent his henchmen to search everywhere, and it took two full years to find most of the "Sun Bin Art of War", and handwritten it to the other party. The expenses of other military generals such as Shi Wansui and He Ruobi are even more huge, which can be described as money like flowing water. Of course, these expenditures could not be squeezed out of Yang Guang's income, and they could only be supplied by relying on Yuwenshu's secret operation of some industries and the full support of the Yuwen family. In order to make up enough money for Yang Guang to make friends with hundreds of civil and military officials, Yu Wenshu even did not hesitate to destroy his future and risked being impeached by the officials to accept bribes.
Therefore, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was eager to share the country with Yuwenshu. For more than ten years, other courtiers who have made great contributions have been killed, or fallen out of favor, but Yuwenshu's career has never been stormy, whether it is the defeat of the Eastern Expedition, or the theft and sale of military rations by children and grandchildren, the fault of stealing and destroying the family on other people's heads has become a trivial matter here in Yuwenshu!
Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi saw that their plot had succeeded, and immediately rushed to the door of the house with a rolling belt, and opened the curtain for Yang Guang in advance to guide the way. As the head of the family, Yu Wenshi and far more stable than his brother and brother, once again led the family to thank the old and young, and only then supported Yang Guang as a horse, and the two Weng and son-in-law comforted each other and entered.
Knowing that Yang Guang had come to see him, Yuwen Shu's dead-gray face flushed. "Woo, lur, uh......" He struggled and tried to roll out of bed to kowtow to Yang Guang. But after all, he couldn't get up, so he sobbed and communicated, and his saliva pulled out a long white line along his beard.
"Yuwen Aiqing, General Yuwen, Bertong, don't move, I don't want you to move!" Seeing this, Yang Guang hurriedly rushed forward and held down Yuwenshu. Because he was walking too fast, he felt a wave of dizziness, and he almost fell headlong beside Yu Wenshu.
"Uh, uh, uh.......!" Yu Wenshu gently tapped his forehead with one arm that could only move, which was regarded as a salute to Yang Guang.
"Grandpa wants to say that His Majesty is so kind to the Yuwen family, and it will be difficult for him to repay him in the next life!" Yu Wenzhihe, who is good at sycophancy, threw himself on the side of the bed and kowtowed to Yang Guang again and again.
"Uh, uh, uh.......!" Yu Wenshu shook his arm, and pointed at Yu Wenhua with his fingers that could not be brought together and flexed, and Yu Wenshi and then pointed at Yang Guang's feet, and kept signaling. Hua and the two brothers obeyed their father's call, and also walked to Zhiji's side, both knelt down, and said: "The Yuwen family has received such a great favor from His Majesty, and they will be reciprocated." My father couldn't get out of bed, and my two brothers thanked His Majesty on behalf of my father! ”
Seeing that several sons fulfilled their wishes for themselves, Yuwenshu breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded himself with his stiff five fingers, touched Yang Guang tremblingly, and then pressed his big dry hand on his chest, making a gesture of heart-to-heart between the monarchs and ministers. His eyes were no longer anxious, but showed a little relief.
"I know you have me in your heart. I know you won't fail me! I've been in a bad mood lately, so I didn't bother to go out of the palace to see you, Berton, don't be disappointed. Recuperate well, and when you are healed, I am still waiting for you to lead the army to sweep away the thieves in the world! Yang Guang wiped his tears with his sleeve and called Yuwenshu's words to comfort.
Yuwen Shu saw Yang Guang crying, and shook his head vigorously on the sickbed, "uh, uh, uh......." He shouted in a low voice, trying to comfort Yang Guang not to be sad, but there were bean-sized tears rolling out in strings in his eyes. The two have been friends for decades, and now one is about to die, and the other is lingering, how sad and sad this situation is.
Yu Wenhua and the three brothers, who were kneeling beside the bed, had already cried into tears. "Grandpa said that the most regrettable thing in his life was that he failed to sweep Goguryeo for His Majesty. Later, he became a half-wasted person, even if he had the intention to lead the troops, he didn't dare to insult the prestige of the Great Sui Army! Yu Wenshi wiped his tears and prayed.
"I know that when the old general Yuwen recovers from his illness, I will immediately raise the army of the country and hand it over to the old general Yuwen to wash away the shame!" Yang Guang's eyes were red and he assured loudly.
"Uh, uh, uh......." Yu Wenshu heard Yang Guang's promise, and half of his hands and feet that could still move kept bending and stretching. There was no emotion on his face, but there was a smile in his eyes. Yang Guang knew that it was his promise that made his friend happy, so he wiped away all the tears and said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, I will definitely do what I promised you." What else do you want, today together, I can do it, and I will never shirk it! ”
Hearing this, the smile in Yu Wenshu's eyes became even stronger. He covered his face with his stiff palms and closed his eyes to show that he had no regrets in his life. After a while, he opened his eyes again, looked at Yang Guang reluctantly, and then looked at the three sons kneeling at the head of the bed, and sighed softly.
"I know, I know!" Yang Guang deserves to be Yuwenshu's confidant, and immediately guessed the other party's thoughts from his eyes. Among the three sons, Yuwenshu likes the eldest son the most, and has always been cultivated as the head of the family. But the mistake made by this son in the siege of Yanmen last year was too great, so the angry Yang Guangcai demoted him from the position of the heir of the Yuwen family to a house slave. Now that nearly a year has passed, Yang Guang's anger has long been calmed down. I no longer feel that Yu Wenhua and Hezhi and his brothers are hateful, and of course I can't find a reason to be dissatisfied with the dying wishes of my old friends.
Hearing Yang Guang's words, Yu Wenshu's eyes showed a scorching heat, as if all life had returned to his body, his arm suddenly became much more flexible, and he quickly stretched out, pointing at Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhiji, and signaling the two of them to thank Yang Guang. "Uh, uh, uh......." he shouted as he waved his arms. His body writhed and swerved, and he almost rolled off the bed and fell to the ground.
"Don't move, don't move!" Yang Guang knew that this state of Yu Wenshu was a return to the light, so he pressed his shoulder hard, and then turned to Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and the two and shouted: "You two fools, I have forgiven your sins for the sake of Berton's face today." Yu Wenhua will continue to return to serve in the DPRK from tomorrow, and serve as the general of the Right Tunwei, I will give you a year, and you must retrain an elite army for me. Zhi Ji will be the young eunuch and assist Pei Ju in taking charge of Jiangdu. As for who will inherit the family business in the future, it is still arranged according to Berton's wishes, and I will not interfere! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and the two were overjoyed, crying and kowtowing. Snot, tears, and dust wrapped together made the face dirty.
"You two don't fight for it! Alas! Yang Guang sighed and shook his head. It seems that the two of them are their nephews, even if they have been, they can't bear to be harsh as uncles.
Looking back, he looked at Yu Wenshu again. I found that my old friend's expressionless face for many years showed a strange smile, and his gaze was already stiff.
In the autumn and October of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Xu Guogongyu died in Wenshu. Yang Guangwei kept the spirit for half a day, and posthumously presented him as the Great Situ, Shang Shuling, and the Ten Counties Taishou. Forty swords, chariots, front and rear preaching. He said Gong, so that the Huangmen waiter Pei Ju sacrificed to the ether prison, and the secretary and supervisor Feng Deyi guarded the funeral.
In the same month, the Poyang thief Shuai Cao Shi begged himself to be the king of Yuanxing, built Yuan Shixing, and captured Yuzhang County.
