By dusk, the murder case that occurred in the wine shop "do not return until drunk" overshadowed the martial arts that attracted much discussion and attracted worldwide attention, and became a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Daxing City. Originally, this kind of murder case was not a big deal in this era when human life was so important. However, the two parties involved in the fight were the sharp-edged Wei Wang Yang Ji and the notorious Yu Wen Zhiji, so a small matter became a big deal.
Yang Ji is a high-ranking prince with outstanding merits, while Yuwen Zhiji is a white man who does all evil and is hated by everyone. In terms of status, there is no comparison between the two; but Yuwen Zhiji has a father who is a saint! His father has the same status as Yang Ji.
There was a lot of discussion in several bustling streets in Daxing City. After continuous rumors, the cause of the conflict between the two people has become strange and has different opinions.
Someone said: Yang Ji took his concubine who was as beautiful as a fairy to a restaurant for dinner this afternoon. When Yuwen Zhiji saw the concubine of King Wei, he was so shocked that he lost his mind and relied on his father's power to ask Yang Ji for the concubine, but she couldn't get it. Then he drew his sword with the intention of killing King Wei and preparing to rob the concubine.
Some people say: Yang Ji and his concubine hosted a banquet for their friends. Yuwen Zhiji suddenly came to approach his friends and pledged their loyalty to Yuwen's family. Yang Ji stepped forward to persuade him. Yuwen Zhiji knew Yang Ji and did not embarrass his friends, but the condition was that they would be allowed to surrender. The concubine slept with him for a few nights. Yang Ji wanted to protect his friends as well as the concubine. Yuwen Zhiji drew his sword and killed people in anger. During the fight, Yang Ji stabbed him and then he killed in anger.
Some say one, some say two, then some say three, four, five...ten, twenty. Each rumor is different, but each rumor has several things in common.
First, the concubine of King Wei was as beautiful as a fairy; second, Yu Wenzhiji saw the beauty; third, Yu Wenzhiji slashed Yang Ji with his sword; fourth, Yang Ji was stabbed before he became angry and killed.
In a word: Yang Ji was on the victimized side and was forced to resist. And people are convinced of this argument. Just because Yu Wenzhiji, like his elder brother Yu Wenhuaji, was cruel and insidious, and liked to rely on his father's power to do random things, so he never paid attention to the laws of the court. Due to Yu Wenshu's indulgence and protection, he developed a greedy and arrogant nature over time.
Unlike ordinary people who come to hear anecdotes, the aristocratic families and dignitaries are waiting to see this conflict, eager to try it, and looking forward to it with great anticipation. They knew that with Yu Wenshu's violent and violent temper, it would be absolutely impossible for him to bear this bad breath, and this matter would definitely cause quite a stir.
In the study room of Yuwen Mansion, Yu Wenshu sat upright on the couch. In front of him were his close confidants who were secretly sent to follow Yu Wenzhi. Yuwen Shu sent dead men to follow Yuwen Zhiji, not because there was any deep hatred between father and son, but because he did not want Yuwen Zhiji to make the same mistake as Yuwen Zhiji, otherwise the third son would follow the same detour that the eldest son had taken, so he subconsciously Restrain him, keep an eye on him, and encourage him to develop the good habit of reporting to himself before acting and not lying to himself.
The dead man did not dare to hide anything and told him in detail what happened in the wine shop. However, he did not know what Yuwen Zhiji's mission was, and he was worried that he would be noticed by Yuwen Zhiji's followers and leave the matter. The scene was found to be relatively far away, so he didn't know much about the details of the conflict. So he said matter-of-factly: "Master, I saw Sanlang and King Wei talking and laughing. After Sanlang gave King Wei something, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed at King Wei. King Wei took a few steps back and picked up the table. The big casserole was served, and a big pot of boiling porridge was poured all over Saburo's head and face."
Yu Wenshu's face remained expressionless, but the corners of his eyes twitched a few times without any trace. He nodded and said, "Then what?"
The dead man continued: "Then the King of Wei called for the assassin, and the entourage of both sides started fighting. Although the two sides fought fiercely, no one drew their swords. They only used fists and kicks. Unexpectedly, Yu Wenliao slashed at King Wei in the chaos. , a large gash as long as a foot was opened on King Wei's body..."
When Yu Wenshu heard this sentence, "A large wound as long as a foot was made on King Wei's body", he was so frightened that he stood up. Before the dead man could finish speaking, he asked anxiously: "Is King Wei injured?" Yet?"
Judging from the statement of the dead man, the fault lies entirely with the third son Yuwen Zhiji. If Yang Ji was seriously injured, things would be out of control.
"No!" The dead man shook his head: "King Wei evaded in time, otherwise he would definitely die. However, it also angered King Wei. He and a guard joined forces to kill Yuwen Liao, and other followers of Saburo were also seriously injured. Soon after, the county magistrate Dou Qing and the county prime minister Qu Tu Gai arrived."
"I want to know how Sanlang is doing?" Yuwenshu heard that Yang Ji was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked the question he was most concerned about.
As long as Yang Ji was not injured, "little things" such as who provoked first, who took the knife first, whether he was killed or injured, were not as important as his son's situation to Yu Wenshu.
"Reporting to the head of the family, Saburo couldn't stand the boiling porridge, so he used his hands to shake off the porridge on his face, grabbing his hair, and his face fell off. Blood was everywhere, and it looked extremely scary." The dead man looked at it. Yu Wenshu, who had a ferocious expression on his face, glanced and whispered: "Master, before King Wei goes to the county government, he asked his concubine to invite the princess into the palace and ask the queen to make the decision for his concubine."
After Yu Wenshu heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred and kicked the table in front of him with a "crash".
A set of exquisite jade tea sets on the table fell into pieces, and the tea leaves and tea were scattered all over the floor.
"Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down!" Sima Yuanqian, the mastermind next to him, reminded loudly that this was an order given to him by Yu Wenshu. Once he lost his mind and calmness, Sima Yuanqian was asked to remind him loudly to calm down.
"Huh!" Yu Wenshu exhaled a breath of bad breath and waved his hand to the dead man, "You should step back first and find a few people to keep an eye on the county government."
"I obey, little man." The dead man bowed deeply and stepped back with relief.
Yu Wenshu asked Sima Yuanqian: "Yuanqian, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Sima Yuanqian was in his fifties, very thin, with a goatee on his chin. He had an honorary officer as a governor during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian eliminated such small and redundant officials without backing. . Sima Yuanqian's father was once Yuwenshu's old subordinate, and he himself was very scheming, so he gradually gained Yuwenshu's attention. During the more than 20 years of following Yuwenshu, he tried his best to advise Yuwenshu, making him step by step. Get high.
Yu Wenshu also took advantage of him. He not only regarded Sima Yuanqian as his mastermind and treated him with great kindness, but also sent his legitimate sons Sima Dekan and Sima Deji into the Forbidden Army and arranged them to serve as captains of the left and right guards; Sima Wenju also sneaked into Zuowuwei under the name Ma Wenju.
"I would like to know what the head of the family means. Do you want to use this matter against King Wei to avenge Dalang for being deposed? Or do you just want to rescue Sanlang?" Sima Yuanqian asked.
Yu Wenshu held the beard on his chin and pondered for a moment, then slowly said to Sima Yuanqian: "King Wei is growing at an alarming rate and has gradually become a climate. If he is allowed to grow, he will become my old enemy sooner or later. I want to kill him as soon as possible. Remove it to avoid leaving endless troubles."
Not long ago, Yang Ji said in front of Yang Zhao that if his three thousand fake men were all fire chiefs, then he would be able to control the 30,000 Sui army. If they were all captains, he would be able to control an army of 150,000 men. He said that he had been recruiting talents in the name of the Northern Zhou royal family... The most important thing was that Yang Ji frankly said that he had controlled many of his lies and many of his important criminal evidences.
These words made Yuwenshu's hair stand on end, and he wished he could kill Yang Ji as soon as possible.
He might not be able to kill Yang Ji in a short while, but he could use Yang Ji's identity as "Liangzhou Mu" to alienate him step by step in front of the emperor, causing Yang Guang's trust in Yang Ji to change from a deep belief to a half-doubt. , totally don’t believe it…
Sima Yuanqian listened to Yu Wenshu's words and shook his head: "Master, I think it's not possible because of my humble position, and I can't bring down Yang Ji."
"Is it because Yang Ji is the saint's cousin?" Yu Wenshu said angrily.
Sima Yuanqian glanced at him, smiled slightly and said: "It does have something to do with the saint, but not much. I feel that the saint is more careful than most people. He will observe a person from many small details. For example King Wei repeatedly resigned from the post of pastor of Liangzhou and stayed in the capital for a long time without going to Liangzhou, which made the sage discover the side of King Wei who was not greedy for power. Another example is that King Wei encouraged Yang Liang to give evidence of treason with the enemy. It seems to have left hidden dangers for the saint, but the saint saw the side of King Wei that valued love and righteousness; also, for the long-term inheritance of the imperial court, King Wei stood against the enemies of the family regardless of personal gains and losses. This not only made the saint see him His loyalty and righteousness, and he also openly broke with the family members and various forces. Even if he rebels in the future, there will be no big forces to follow and support him. And what can ordinary people do? On the contrary, although the head of the family stayed with the saint for a long time, It has been a long, long time, but in some details, King Wei has outdone and outperformed him."
"What about?" Yu Wenshu asked unconvinced.
Sima Yuanqian sighed and said: "For example, in order to deal with Yang Su, the master of the house, you did not hesitate to leak the news about King Wei to Yang Liang. This kind of behavior is disloyal to the king, unkind to his colleagues, and unkind to the soldiers." It's unjust, but King Wei didn't care about it and showed his open-mindedness. But you blamed Dalang, which lost a lot of points in the saint. For example, the head of the family was originally the chief inspector of the military examination, but you were afraid that the saint would be dissatisfied. I didn't want to offend anyone, but King Wei took it. In this way, it was immediately obvious who was more loyal to the saint. Of course, these are not the main reasons why the saint did not reuse the family leader. The reason for the humble position is the family leader's twilight. .”
Yu Wenshu asked in confusion: "Twilight Qi? Could it be that the saint thinks I am too old?"
"Yang Su is also old, but whenever important matters are involved, Yang Su is the first thing the saint thinks of."
"Yang Su has already been sent to build the city, why should he be taken seriously?" Yu Wenshu sneered.
"If you build a Luoyang New City alone, it is indeed a distribution." Sima Yuanqian said: "But don't forget, more than ten states including Luoyang New City have been included in the defense system of the new capital. As for where It is up to Yang Su to decide whether to build fortifications, how high, how deep, how deep, etc., which is completely handing over the destiny of a country to Yang Su. If this is not to value and reuse, what is it?"
Yuwenshu was stunned for a moment.
"So, old age has little to do with age." Sima Yuanqian defined it, and then said: "The head of the family is capable, but sometimes he thinks too carefully, and when he acts, he is timid and indecisive. It's too late to move forward. This does not meet the needs of the saint. I can understand that this is the saint's concern about the future of the Sui Dynasty, so he is eager to change, but it is inconvenient for him to come forward, so as not to tear the thin paper and make everyone unable to He was unable to step down, so he longed to possess a sharp sword that could cut through obstacles and charge into battle on his behalf, sweeping away all the shortcomings and crises of the Sui Dynasty."
"And King Wei is such a magic sword. He has been in office for less than three years, but he has done a lot of things that the emperor wanted to do but could not do or dare not do. I wonder what emperor has such a magic sword? If you don’t like it, which emperor wouldn’t reuse it?”
Yu Wenshu suddenly fell into deep thought. He had to admit that Sima Yuanqian saw Yang Guang very clearly. Yang Guang was indeed full of worries about the future of the Sui Dynasty, but he was too busy to take care of both the center and the local area at the same time. As soon as Yang Ji appeared, he immediately did many major things in Liangzhou that made their father and son happy and benefited the country and the people. How could Yang Guang not reuse Yang Ji?
If Yang Ji was lost, who would dare to do these things?
This means that as long as Yang Ji continues to fight with the family members and as long as Yang Ji does not make the same mistakes as Yang Liang and He Ruobi, Yang Guang can tolerate him.
Just because Yang Ji's actions are so in line with the needs of the emperor, but the problem is that they all know the benefits, but no one dares to do it: on the one hand, it is related to their own interests, and no one is willing to dig their own graves to bury themselves. Family; on the other hand, no one dares to be as talented as Yang Ji. If he follows a small quarrel, he will become the laughing stock of imitation, and he will also offend a lot of people.
Yu Wenshu sighed secretly in his heart, the so-called times make heroes, it is nothing more than this.
Yang Guang was already a little dissatisfied with him now. If he slandered Yang Ji in front of him again, I'm afraid it would only make Yang Guang hate him even more and alienate him.
After a long time, Yu Wenshu sighed and said: "It seems that the top priority is to rescue Sanlang first." He smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that judging from the news received so far, everything is wrong with Sanlang. So what? Hurrah?"
Sima Yuanqian laughed, "In this case, we have to use connections and some wealth for this matter. Now that Sanlang is in Daxing County, the county magistrate Dou Qing is not afraid, but the county prime minister Qu Tugai is quite difficult to talk to. , he may not be willing to pay attention to the family head’s thoughts, so you might as well find someone to suppress him.”
Yu Wenshu asked: "Who does Yuan Qian think is the most suitable?"
Sima Yuanqian said: "Both Pei Ju and Yu Shiji are fine! The head of the family can choose one of them based on whether the relationship is close or not. In addition, please invite Princess Nanyang to the palace, not to mention asking the queen to help intercede, but at the very least, she must It's important to keep her neutral."
Yu Wenshu asked again: "I'm afraid Sanlang is seriously injured. I want to bail him out and go home to recuperate first. What do you think?"
Sima Yuanqian smiled bitterly and said: "It depends on King Wei's attitude. If he is admitted to the cell, there is no reason for Sanlang who got into trouble to get out. Before the master goes, it is best to prepare good medicines."
"I have to think carefully about who to visit and how to speak. So the county government asked Yuan Qian to go there for me." Yu Wenshu didn't realize how serious Yu Wenzhiji's injuries were, thinking he was scalded by the boiling porridge. The face, at most, suffered some physical pain. If he knew that one eye was blinded by the soup and his throat was burnt and mute, he would probably not be so calm.
"I humbly obey my orders." Sima Yuanqian bowed and bowed.
