In the second year of Zhenguan, after the turbulent undercurrent in Li Shimin's harem passed, another big and small thing happened in the court.

The Governor of Liangzhou, Yu Wenshi, was also involved, and the report said that he had committed illegal acts in Liangzhou, colluded with businessmen, took bribes and committed murder, and the emperor was angry, and Yu Wenshi was dismissed.

Speaking of Yu Wenshi and this person, it is really not easy to evaluate him as a virtuous minister or a minister, he and Yu Wenhua, the head of the Yuwen Gate Valve, are brothers.

When he was young, he married Princess Nanyang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, as his wife, and she was proud of the spring breeze and noble.

Yuwen Gate Valve has always been at odds with the Li family, and the two families fought for decades, but as a result, after his brother Yu Wenhua and the army were defeated and died, he abandoned his wife and children, and resolutely took refuge in Li Tang.

Yuwen Gate Valve is a wealthy family in the world, its influence is not trivial in the court or the opposition, in the face of such a person to come to defect, Li Yuan is to sweep the couch to welcome, not only to give a good knight, but also to accept his sister into the palace, named Zhaoyi.

Li Shimin was extremely disliked for this person at first, thinking that this person was the son of a family, but he had no backbone at all, greedy for life and afraid of death, the Yuwen family fell, and immediately defected to the former enemy, he was simply a typical villain who tended to be inflammatory.

But Yu Wenshi and Li Shimin are particularly favored, he seems to have the skills of an unpredictable prophet, and soon after he defected to Li Tang, he followed Li Shimin with all his heart, like a loyal old scalper, helping Li Shimin do things.

When Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, he made a lot of effort, and over time, Li Shimin's impression of him slowly began to change, coupled with the influence of the Yuwen family itself, after ascending the throne, he began to reuse Yuwen Shi and.

In the ninth year of Wude, at the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, he was named the Zhongshu Order, and in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Youliang, the governor of Liangzhou, committed a crime, and Li Shimin entrusted Yu Wenshi and full authority to handle the investigation.

Yu Wenshi, who was very good at grasping Li Shimin's heart, did this very beautifully, and soon after he arrived in Liangzhou, he found out many incriminating evidence of Li Youliang, and then Li Youliang was executed, and Yu Wenshi took over Liangzhou.

But he took over Liangzhou for less than a year, and was sued again, which made Li Shimin quite angry, but in view of Yuwenshi and his performance over the years, Li Shimin did not immediately convict him, but only issued an order to remove him from the post of governor of Liangzhou, and gave him the opportunity to return to Beijing to reprimand.

After Yuwen returned to Beijing, without saying a word, he immediately came to ask the emperor for his guilt, and Li Shimin realized that the person who denounced Yuwen Shi and others was not a filthy accusation out of nothing, but that he did something wrong in Liangzhou, and he committed the crime of covering up.

As for the cause of the incident, it has to start with his niece, this niece is none other than Yu Wenhua's granddaughter Yu Wenqiao.

Yuwen Qiao has a brutal temperament, but he is quite good at things in front of his elders, and he is deeply loved by the elders of the Yuwen family.

Yuwen Shi and no exception, Yuwen Qiao was extremely uneasy with the eldest grandson Empress when he was a teenager, and later the Yuwen family was defeated, and she and her husband were implicated.

Overnight, from a wealthy family to a common person, Yuwen Qiao almost couldn't accept this fact, she went crazy for a long time, and finally recognized the truth and slowly quieted down.

Yuwen Qiao's husband's surname is Wang, and he was able to marry the Yuwen family back then, naturally he was not an ordinary family, such a thing happened to the Yuwen family, affecting the husband's family, coupled with Yuwen Qiao's domineering temper, if it weren't for Yuwen Shi's presence, she would have been abandoned.

After Yuwenqiao recognized the facts, in order not to be abandoned by her husband's family, she helped her husband plan with all her heart, and her husband's career was broken, so she was ready to help her husband earn more money.

When she got married, the dowry was quite large, and later the Yuwen family was defeated and the family property was confiscated.

The place where they settled happened to be in Liangzhou, in order not to be poor in the future, Yuwen Qiao asked people to help with some shops, coupled with the relationship between Yuwen and Shi, their business has been getting better and better over the years, and life is also good.

Last year, after Yu Wenshi took over the post of governor of Liangzhou, there was a local street fight to the death case, and it was found out that this matter was related to Yuwen Qiao's husband, Yu Wenshi and hesitated, plus Yu Wenqiao begged bitterly on the side, Yu Wenshi and shielded his nephew and son-in-law.

Yu Wenshi and never expected that because of such a thing, he would go to the sky, and the other party didn't know what way to report this matter to the emperor.

"Shiji, you are really, now that I have not long established the Tang Dynasty, everything needs to be done according to the law, your niece and son-in-law have committed something, you, how can you blindly favor and bless you......" Li Shimin was a little speechless after listening to what happened.

In fact, he can understand Yuwen Shi and that after the defeat of his Yuwen family, the person in charge, that is, Yu Wenshi and his direct blood relatives, all died almost dead.

There are no children left between him and Princess Nanyang back then, and it is not surprising that Yu Wenqiao is such a niece, whether it is out of care for the blood or the relationship between uncle and nephew in the past.

After all, people are animals with feelings, and in the face of the law and human feelings, there are indeed not many people who can completely ignore family affection, and he Li Shimin himself can't do it.

Out of this kind of heart, he wanted to severely punish Yu Wenshi and his heart, no matter what kind of heart this person had for defecting to Li Tang in the first place, but he had indeed helped himself and helped Li Tang do many things over the years of attaching himself to Li Tang.

"It is the minister who has betrayed His Majesty's trust and has failed the king's grace, please punish Your Majesty." Yuwen and Shi bowed their heads.

"That's it, since this matter has been revealed, it must be sentenced heavily, your niece and son-in-law killed someone, even if the death penalty is not given, exile is inevitable, since you feel sorry for your niece, take her to you."

"When there is a suitable candidate, you can help her find a family business." Li Shimin waved his hand, he didn't know who this niece of Yu Wenshi was.

In this regard, Yuwen Shi and naturally inconvenient to say anything, can only thank him, and then write a letter to Liangzhou, let people take his niece, Yuwen Qiao is three years older than the eldest grandson queen, now twenty and nine, a total of one son and two daughters.

Yuwen and want to take her back, naturally it is impossible for her to bring her children over, and the Wang family will not agree, in the end, Yuwen Qiao and her husband reconciled, and came to Kyoto alone, and lived in Yu Wenshi's house.

After 20 years of separation, she once again stepped into the Daxing City of the former Great Sui and the current Chang'an City, Yuwen Qiao was in a trance, especially the eldest grandson Erniang, who she was most unaccustomed to in the past, and now she is the queen of the world.

"Qiao Niang, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to live well, give me some peace, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for ignoring my uncle and nephew." Yu Wenshi, who knew a little about her temperament, saw her flickering face, and couldn't help but say a word of warning.
