"unusual!"
Dugufeng shook his head.
What Yang Guang did was indeed abnormal and not in line with his character at all.
"But what does this have to do with us, the Dugu Valve?"
He, the Dugu Clan, is not a rebel!
On the contrary, in this era when almost everyone in the world is rebelling against him, he, the Dugu Clan, is still a very 'loyal minister'!
No matter what Yang Guang does, there is no reason to operate on their Dugu clan, right? !
If that were the case, wouldn't he want to chill all his subordinates? Who will be willing to work for him in the future?
You Chuhong shook her head and said very calmly.
"Any rules are set by the strong!"
"Yang Guang has never been a person willing to abide by the rules!"
"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to sit in that position!"
Many people may have forgotten Yang Guang's rise to power, but she, an old woman, has never forgotten it.
According to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", in July of the fourth year of Renshou (604), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was ill in bed, so Yang Guang wrote to Yang Su to ask for advice on how to deal with the affairs of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and his own accession to the throne. Unexpectedly, the messenger mistakenly sent Yang Su's reply to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was furious, and immediately ordered Yang Guang to enter the palace and wanted to question him face to face. At this time, Xuanhua's wife Chen also cried and complained that Yang Guang had intended to molest her on her way here. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had an epiphany and cursed on the bed: "How can you do such a big thing for an animal! Dugu has mistaken me!"
He hurriedly ordered ministers Liu Shu and Yuan Yan to draft an edict to depose Yang Guang and re-establish Yang Yong as the crown prince. After Yang Guang learned about it, he imprisoned Liu Shu and Yuan Yan, and asked his right concubine Zhang Heng to attend the palace of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and send away the attendants around the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
Soon Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty passed away.
Although this period of history does not detail how Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty died, other unofficial histories say that he was killed by Zhang Heng's blood splashing on the screen, or that he was poisoned by Zhang Heng. Anyway, there is no normal death. .
How dare Zhang Heng dare to kill the king?
Only Yang Guang gave him the courage.
For a man who rose to power by killing his father, and who almost offended all the powerful families in the world not long after he came to power, what could he not dare to do?
You Chuhong grabbed Dugufeng's hand hard and said.
"Feng'er, you have to remember that the Dugu Clan can survive to this day and is still standing. It's not because of those rules, but because of the strength of the Dugu Clan!"
"Because the Dugu Clan is strong enough, even Yang Guang doesn't dare to touch us easily!"
"Strength is the foundation of our Dugu clan!"
In the beginning, You Chuhong was actually just like Dugu Feng today, with a hot temper and a tendency to go straight.
But after living for hundreds of years, especially after suffering from asthma and having to cultivate her moral character, she gradually understood many things.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most sober and most thorough person in Dugu clan today.
If she hadn't been there to help Dugu Feng clean up his mess from time to time, how could the Dugu Clan be as powerful as it is now?
Yang Guang had already taken the opportunity to get rid of him!
Yang Guang has always wanted to eliminate the threats posed by the powerful families in the world, and the top priority is their four powerful families.
Although Yang Guang seemed to 'trust' them now, he handed over two of the three forces in Chang'an City to them, the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan respectively.
But in fact, these were not done due to pressure from the outside world, but to appease the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan.
Yang Guang's intention to kill them has never changed!
It's just that because the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan have always been strong and have not made any big mistakes, Yang Guang has never found an opportunity.
"Grandma, are you saying that Yang Guang is very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to attack our Dugu Clan or even the Yuwen Clan?"
Dugu Feng frowned and said.
Although You Chuhong didn't point it out directly, she was keen enough to see the deepest meaning directly through the surface.
She's just straightforward, it doesn't mean she's stupid.
In fact, her own wisdom is also top-notch among the Dugu clan!
But usually, Dugu Feng was too lazy to use it, and there was nothing that required her to use it.
"good."
You Chuhong nodded with satisfaction.
This is why she values Dugu Feng so much!
Whether it is talent or wisdom, Dugu Feng is the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Dugu Clan. Once she grows up in the future, she will be able to take her place and become the new pillar of the Dugu Clan.
"This is Yang Guang's last chance. If he can destroy our Dugu Clan and even the Yuwen Clan, and obtain the information about our two great clans, he will have a chance to make a comeback!"
"He will never miss such an opportunity!"
This was one of the reasons why You Chuhong was so sure that Yang Guang would attack them.
In the previous wars, Yang Guang had basically destroyed the royal family's wealth. Under the suppression of the major aristocratic families, even if he wanted to cultivate his character and cultivate his character, it would be impossible for him to accumulate wealth again.
The world will only become more and more chaotic, and the number of rebels and rebels will only increase, until the last bit of power of the royal family is exhausted.
At that time, it will be time for all their major families to come to an end and compete for the world.
Normally, during this process, Yang Guang was completely hopeless.
As time goes by, their royal family will become weaker and weaker, until they swarm over and push them away, or they become their puppets, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!
But the sudden appearance of Yang Gong's treasury and the Evil Emperor's relics gave Yang Guang his last chance.
Now that the royal family has not fallen to the end, it still has the power to fight. As long as he can take the opportunity to destroy the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan and embezzle the assets and wealth of these two great clans, it is entirely possible for him to gain enough power to once again Participate in the game of fighting for the world.
"Then why don't we participate in this war?"
After listening to You Chuhong's words, Dugu Feng obviously realized the real crisis of the Dugu Clan.
Once the Dugu Clan dispatches high-level combat forces to fight for Yang Gong's treasury and the evil emperor's relics, they will inevitably be attacked by Yang Guang, who is secretly watching. If one mistake is made, the entire Dugu Clan may be ruined in the hands of Yang Guang!
Realizing this, Dugu Feng then put forward his own ideas.
Since they might be stolen by Yang Guang if they go to war, wouldn't it be okay if they don't go to war?
As long as they stick to their own door, even if Yang Guang has any thoughts about them, with the power of their Dugu Clan, they can deal with it easily.
"Son, if possible, grandma would also like to do this, but...it can't be done!"
You Chuhong sighed.
"Traveling is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
"This war is not only a huge crisis for us, the Dugu Clan, but it is also a huge opportunity!"
Normally, with the strength of their Dugu clan, it is indeed almost impossible to win the world.
But if we can get Yang Gong’s treasury and the Evil Emperor’s relics...
Especially the latter!
If you can obtain the Evil Emperor's relics, with You Chuhong's current strength, it can almost be said that you will be able to break through to the Grand Master level.
Once the Dugu Clan has a great master-level expert, everything will be different.
Even because of the ability of Dugu Feng and others, it is still difficult for them to take over the world, but with a great master-level powerful man sitting in charge, in the future, their Dugu Clan will cede territory and become king, or become a country like the Lingnan Song Clan. In the country, everything is very simple.
"But, with the strength of our Dugu clan..."
Dugu Feng wanted to continue persuading her. Of course she knew what You Chuhong said, but she knew even more clearly that there were no experts in the Dugu Clan!
Except for You Chuhong, the top grandmaster in the world, the entire Dugu Clan only has two or three master-level experts.
This amount doesn't seem too small.
Except for a few of the famous Eight Gangs and Ten Hui, the other dozen or so forces do not even have a single master-level powerhouse.
The Dugu Clan has many master-level experts, including You Chuhong, the top master in the world, who is definitely worthy of the title of the Four Clan.
But in today's Chang'an City, where at least dozens of master-level experts have gathered, the possibility of them obtaining the Evil Emperor's relics is still very small.
Not to mention, their top grandmaster, You Chuhong, also suffers from asthma and cannot maintain peak combat power for a long time. This will undoubtedly further reduce their possibility of obtaining the Evil Emperor's relics!
All in all, according to Dugu Feng's calculations, the probability of their Dugu Clan winning the Evil Emperor's relics was less than one percent.
With such a low probability, even Dugu Feng, who has always been 'reckless', felt that it was better for them not to get involved.
It's better to stay at home and guard their one-third of an acre of land.
"Feng'er... ahem! I know what you're thinking, but the reality is, even if we hide like this, how long can we hide? One year? Two years? Or three years?"
You Chuhong coughed several times before continuing.
"I know my own body well, and I can't hold on for much longer. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at most one or two years..."
"grandmother!"
"Listen to me!"
You Chuhong pressed Dugu Feng's words and continued.
"This is an opportunity! A chance to really save my Dugu clan! If it succeeds, my Dugu clan will still be one of the four great clans in the world, and it is unknown whether it will even go further."
"If you fail... Feng'er, you are the Dugu Clan's last hope! Everything about the Dugu Clan will fall on your shoulders!"
You Chuhong looked heavy and said affectionately.
This is the reason why their Dugu Clan must fight to the death!
She won't live much longer.
As the biggest pillar of the Dugu Clan, once she dies, there is a high probability that the Dugu Clan will not be able to survive with only Dugu Feng.
Instead of sinking completely in a year or two, it is better to fight for a glorious future for him while he still has the strength to fight now!
Dugufeng was silent.
It took a while before he spoke.
"Grandma, what you said makes sense. It's really time for the Dugu clan to give it a try!"
"But I think your arrangement is a bit unreasonable."
"You should arrange for your eldest brother (Dugu Ce) to be the guardian of the house. I'm a female, so what's going on if you arrange for me to be the guardian of the house?"
"Besides, it's not like I can fight, eldest brother! If I participate in the battle, my effect will be much better than his!"
She accepted You Chuhong's explanation, but she could not accept You Chuhong's arrangement.
"Feng'er, I know what you're thinking, but the Dugu Valve can live without your elder brother, but it can't live without you! If, I mean if, if the Dugu Valve really doesn't exist in the future, do you think your eldest brother will be able to rebuild the Dugu Valve? Really? He doesn’t have that ability!”
You Chuhong said word for word very calmly.
She didn't deliberately belittle anyone, she just told the facts truthfully. Although Dugu Ce had almost been appointed as the next leader of the Dugu Clan, this was not because of how good he was, but because he was the current leader of the Dugu Clan, Dugu Feng. The eldest son, and all his peers are in trouble!
If it weren't for the tradition of women being the leader of a clan, You Chuhong would have wanted Dugu Feng to be one.
"Feng'er, sometimes, it takes more courage to survive!"
You Chuhong looked confused, thinking of her past.
"You know? When your grandpa left, I wanted to go with him. But I knew I couldn't. This family still needs me! I have to persevere!"
"Now I can't hold on any longer. The burden of this family can only be left in your hands."
"Little Phoenix, I'm sorry. Originally, I wanted to protect you from the wind and rain for a while, but God didn't give me this opportunity. I can only protect you here..."
"grandmother!"
Dugu Feng held You Chuhong's hand tightly and felt the wrinkles on it. For the first time, she felt that the pillar of her family was really old.
······
No coincidence.
All major aristocratic families have also taken corresponding measures.
They may not have the eyesight like Mrs. You to see Yang Guang's hidden conspiracy, but they also sensed the imminent war.
Some are ready to do whatever it takes to have a future!
Some arrange backup plans so that even if they fail, they still have a certain future.
There are also people who are doing their best to achieve as many results as possible in the coming war.
"Master, Li Mi's military advisor Shen Luoyan sent me a greeting card, saying that we have something important to discuss."
In a private room of a certain inn, Xu Yi was leisurely preparing to have dinner, when Yin Kaishan at the side suddenly heard such news.
"Oh? Then let her in."
"Master, do you want to see her in person?"
Yin Kaishan was a little surprised.
Xu Yi shouldn't be suitable to meet other people now, right? Even if he wanted to meet, Xu Yi asked him to send him away.
But looking at Xu Yi's current intention, it seems that he wants to meet Shen Luoyan in person?
"Let's meet, it's almost time anyway."
Xu Yi looked at the sky outside and said casually.
"Yes, Master!"
When Yin Kaishan heard this, he didn't dare to say anything and quickly agreed.
Ever since.
After Shen Luoyan came in, he saw Xu Yi leisurely drinking a small drink.
She was suddenly shocked.
"There's something wrong with this person..."
