Chapter 160: The Beast of Power
What does Your Majesty want?
I gave way to Otsuka Zai, I don't know if I can let my brother go?
……
The courtiers were like thunder in their heads, looking at Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Yong, revealing incredible expressions.
What's going on? Is the emperor crazy?!
Yuwen Hu's reaction was the same as everyone else, he stayed for a long time, and then, the scrutiny in his eyes became more and more obvious: "Your Majesty said this, didn't you trap the old minister in injustice?" ”
There was a lot of self-reproach in his tone, but looking at his demeanor, he didn't look like he was wrong. Yuwen Hu couldn't tell what kind of attitude this Yuwen Yong was.
Yu Wenyong's hand was still dripping with blood, which made the eunuchs and henchmen tremble. But at this time, no one dared to stand between this pair of monarchs and ministers at their own death. Yu Wenyong's expression was deliberately flattering and flattering, very indifferent, giving people a sense of sincerity.
"Over the years, Otsuka Jae has maintained the Yuwen clan with the power of one person, and the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been thriving, which is all the credit of Otsuka Zai......"
Yu Wenyong said slowly: "Otsuka Zai is the person entrusted by Emperor Taizu, and he is also a hero of the country, all these years...... Otsuka Zai's exploits are obvious to all in the world...... I, virtue is slightly insufficient, and the statecraft is not as good as Otsuka Zai, Otsuka Zai ascended the throne and sat in the palace, I want to come...... It is also the desire of the people. ”
"Your Majesty......" Wei Chi Hui and the others almost rushed forward to block Yuwen Yong's mouth, but the warriors on duty in the court had already drawn their blades and glanced at the ministers with fierce eyes, as long as there was a change that was not good for Yuwen Protection, they would be killed immediately.
"Your Majesty must not be so ......" Yuwen Hu became more and more confused, and his attitude became more and more cautious.
It's not that he doesn't want to usurp the throne, but now is not the time, not to mention Dugu and the Zhao clan's rebellion, the generals of the Zhu State have long been dissatisfied with Yuwenhu's dictatorship for so long. Originally, at the beginning of Yuwen Taituo Gu, Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin were dissatisfied with Yuwen Hu's monopoly on power and planned to assassinate Yuwen Hu, but Yuwen Hu turned the danger into a disaster, beheaded Zhao Gui, and abolished the second emperor, so they forcibly suppressed the opposition.
However, if a person sits on the throne for too long, it will block the way of others and cut off the interests of some people.
Yuwen Hu understands that in his position, it is like sailing against the current, and if he does not advance, he will retreat.
And there is no turning back, what should he do? Either go further and become the first person in the whole world, or continue to be above ten thousand people and one person under him, and then be beheaded by the emperor one day, there is no other way.
Emperor Yuwen Yong looked very weak and bullied, but Yuwen Hu didn't believe it, as long as he could see hope, no emperor would tolerate having a powerful courtier overriding the supremacy of imperial power. Standing above this court, what is the beast that is not power?
Sooner or later, he will abolish Yu Wenyong, but not now, not now......
Wait for him to send those who oppose him on the road one by one, and then come to clean up this Yuwen Yong who is against the yang and yin!
Yuwen Hu originally planned to tear off one of Yuwen Yong's arms first, and then spend another three or two years to destroy all the forces that stood in his way, and the throne would be the same when he was not in his hands, but he didn't expect Yuwen Yong to give him such a hand, which made him angry.
A big banner that has been conceived for a long time has been disrupted after only a few shots, and I have to reconsider the response, which is simply intolerable for a person with a strong desire to control like Yuwen Hu, but for now, I still have to suppress my anger and accompany Yuwen Yong to complete this scene!
"Your Majesty's words are serious, the old minister is ashamed, and the minister is entrusted by Emperor Taizu to help His Majesty govern the rivers and mountains, how dare you not do your best? As for the matter of the Zen position, please don't mention it again, otherwise the minister will die to thank the world for ......! ”
Yuwen Hu naturally had to pretend to be extremely moved and cry bitterly. As soon as he mentioned Yu Wentai, Yu Wenyong's eyes were also red: "The middle way collapsed before the imperial examination was started, and he laid down the great rivers and mountains, but he died at the most critical time, which is really regrettable......"
Yuwen Yong wept and said: "This country is our Yuwen family, without the sacrifice of the ancestors of the Yuwen family such as my uncle, where will the Yuwen clan dominate Guanzhong?" To this day, it is still unforgettable...... "Yuwen Hu's father Yu Wenhao is Yuwentai's eldest brother, and he is also a hero for a while, he died on the battlefield to save his father Yuwen Hu, if Yuwen Hao does not die, Yuwen family will not be able to support Yuwentai's turn.
Speaking of Yu Wenhao, Yu Wenhu's heart was also a little sad, but at the same time, he was deeply vigilant and didn't understand what Yu Wenyong wanted to say.
Sure enough, soon Yuwen Yong continued: "As a descendant of the Yuwen family, you should take it as your responsibility to unify the rivers and mountains, unite as one, and work together to support the community...... Although the fifth brother is responsible for defeat, he also has merit, and he is also the bloodline of Emperor Taizu, so I can't bear to kill him today, and I can't bear to ......."
"......" Yuwen Hu understood at that time that this kid had said so many scenes before, in order to lead this passage out!
Before he could say anything, all the ministers bowed down one after another, making a very emotional appearance, "Your Majesty is merciful! ”
Yuwen Hu's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched, today Yu Wenyong moved out of Yuwentai and played the emotional card, he knew that he would not be able to kill Yu Wenxian with a knife today no matter what.
Why was Yuwen Hu able to control the court without prestige in the first place? It is because he is the designated power transfer person of Yuwentai, and his power is inherited from Yuwentai, if he kills Yuwentai's parents because of this small defeat, then ...... But I can't say enough!
Yuwen Hu was extremely angry in his heart, but he still made a sad appearance, and said sadly: "This is not the original ......intention of the old minister, since Your Majesty said so, the old minister did not allow it, then Yu Wenxian will take away the title and be confined in the mansion......
As a result, the tense atmosphere suddenly became joyful. Yuwen Yong burst into tears and laughed, and then ordered to go down to the palace to put a celebration banquet for Otsuka Zai Yuwen Hu, and on the spot to Yuwen Hu's sons all added officials to the knighthood, the two monarchs and ministers seemed to be intimate, which is not to be mentioned later.
The night is cold and dewy, and the moon has gone up to the middle of the sky. The banquet had dispersed, Yuwen Yong personally escorted Yuwen out of the palace gate, and then, with heavy steps, returned to the Taiji Palace, repelled the eunuchs, and sat alone.
This matter has finally passed without danger, but Yu Wenyong's heart is not calm. Today, he showed his edge, and with Yuwen Hu's suspicion, he would definitely be afraid of him, and the days ahead would be even more sad......
The dragon case is full of cantatas. He picked up a book and flipped through it casually, and at the beginning was Yuwen Hu's instructions: Yes. Yu Wenyong paused, lifted the pen, dipped it in vermilion ink, and slowly put it on: quasi-play. He read it one by one, criticized it one by one, Yuwen Hu said yes, then it was allowed to play, Yuwen Hu said no, then the music was rejected. One by one......
Suddenly, the brush snapped in two, and Yuwen Hu threw the broken brush out of the gate, stood up and struggled to overturn the heavy dragon case! The dragon case rolled down, and the music was sprinkled all over the white jade steps, one after another, messy......
He sat down weakly, his chest rising and falling like a blower, and his eyes bloodshot.
muttered, "This ...... Is that the Great Zhou I want? Yuwen Hu is aggressive, and the top of my head is like a sharp sword hanging high, and I may lose my life at any time, and I have to see his face at any time...... Hehe, what kind of emperor am I? What kind of emperor am I!! ”
A touch of white fish belly had just emerged from the sky, and only Yu Wenyong's low roar echoed in the main hall, like a rolling thunder hidden behind the clouds.
…………
In Northern Qi, a falcon swoops down from the clouds. Suddenly a large black forest sprang up on the plains it swept by!
This is a forest of steel, at the end of October of the first year of Wuping, Emperor Gao Wei officially drove Jinyang, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the creaking sound of ruts filled the avenue. The Emperor's authority has been initially revealed, and everyone is to obey his will and not to be disobeyed.
The scale of the emperor's trip is huge, and there is still a big distance from Jinyang, so the emperor eats in the car, wears in the car, and handles government affairs in the car. Along the way, he will also stop to inspect the local officials, and what he does is of course not for the sake of sightseeing, but to strengthen the understanding of the state of the empire, strengthen the central government's rule over the localities, and show the majesty of the emperor.
More than 20,000 forbidden troops lined up in a long line and ran over the plain, silent and solemn, the closer they got to the emperor, the more no one dared to speak loudly. Heavy armor clicked, blades reflected in a glimmer. Only countless black flags hunted in the wind.
A burst of laughter suddenly came from the emperor's carriage: "So, Yuwen Hu can't hold it anymore?" ”
The carriage was very spacious, as big as a small room, Liu Taozhi knelt down and said respectfully: "Yes, Yuwen Hu has indeed shown signs of turning his face, but he still let Yuwen Yong save the day......
Gao Wei's face was full of smiles, and he smacked his lips with some regret, and said, "If you don't die if you fight a snake, there will be trouble." Yuwen protects this old thief, don't accidentally plant it on Yuwen Yong. ”
Liu Taozhi saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so he said: "Yes, Yuwen Yong is a character...... and then he changed his words and said: "But Yuwen Yong's ending is already doomed, and he can't turn over...... Yuwentai chose Yuwen Hu at the beginning, I don't know if Jiuquan will regret it?" ”
Gao Wei pondered for a while, the smile on his face gradually converged, and said: "If I were him, I wouldn't regret it, as long as Yuwen Hu was still standing, the country of Zhou would not have another surname, he had no choice but to choose Yuwen Hu ......"
"Although Yuwen Hu is not good at war, he is still stubborn and self-serving, but over the years, the power of Zhou has indeed grown slowly in his hands, if there is no Yuwen Hu, maybe the foundation laid by Yuwen Tai will fall apart again......"
"Supporting Yuwen Hu, you can not only keep the Zhou Kingdom, but also keep the foundation of the Yuwen family, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss...... As for the sons who were killed...... Oh, Yuwentai won't care......"
"This is the hero of the world......"
The Emperor looked at the gray cloud-covered sky thoughtfully.
I don't know if I was frightened by the flashing thunder, or if I was affected by something else. The swooping falcon screamed and flapped its wings away......
