The next morning, the emperor got up as usual, stretched his muscles in the room, and took a warm bath to wash away the poverty of the insomnia last night.
After Yu Wenyong had a simple breakfast, he asked the eunuchs to serve him, put on the official uniforms for meeting courtiers, and sat in the study to read a book about Tian Wen's writing that he had just obtained recently. As he read, he didn't remember a single key to writing. She closed the book and her eyes inadvertently fell on the jade that the Chief had given her earlier.
This is indeed a rare treasure. The jade body is one foot and two inches long. The upper tip and lower part are as white as mutton fat without any impurities. Yu Wenyong holds it in his hand. It is warm, heavy, and heavy, especially the square bottom end. Craftsmen make it angular.
The emperor grabbed the narrower end of the jade and waved it with his hand. Unconsciously, his heart moved and he immediately ordered the maid Huizhu next to him.
"Today we are going to see the Grand Chief, and then we are going to see the Queen Mother. You and Huilan will follow and bring us this jade. I will give it to the Queen Mother to play with."
"yes."
Huizhu took the jade from the emperor's hand, touched it and put it into his sleeve. After a while, the court doctor Yuwen Xiaobo came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the car to Wen'an Palace has been prepared. We can start driving."
The actual supreme power minister of the dynasty was the Grand Prime Minister Yu Wenhu, not the emperor Yu Wenyong. The place where the Emperor spent most of his daily activities was his own bedroom, the Yanshou Hall. When official state activities were held, meetings with foreign countries and the issuance of imperial edicts were all held in the main hall, the Wen'an Hall.
Wen'an Hall and Yanshou Hall were both close together in the Royal Palace. Among all the activities that had been arranged in advance, the emperor had to ride four red horses and drive a wooden chariot to arrange the honor guard. The emperor entered Wen'an Hall and took his seat in the lead seat. A larger honor guard team and thousands of people took their seats. Only then did Yu's escorting troops arrive surrounded by the Grand Chief's car.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the eight-horse-riding princes of the emperor and the four-horse princes are not worthy of the king's etiquette. However, Yuwen Hu is different from others. He always rides an eight-horse Jimu chariot when he goes out to show his noble status as the chief minister of the DPRK. To command the heroes by holding the emperor hostage.
Yu Wenhu walked into the hall and bowed down to greet the emperor. After Yu Wenyong offered him a seat, he sat down in the seat that had been placed beside the emperor.
the emperor asked with concern.
"Brother, how is your health lately?"
"It's not that Xiao Ao has been in serious trouble one after another."
Then Yuwen Hu changed the subject and said.
"However, the recent rampage of bandits in Tongzhou and the occurrence of several robberies are disturbing."
"We heard yesterday that General Hou Longen said that several bandit troubles were wiped out by the General."
"Oh, how can we allow the troubles in our hearts to spread? Tongzhou is the gateway to the imperial capital, and its bad influence must be eradicated."
The bandit surnamed Wu named Chu led by Tongzhou was originally the military governor of the imperial court. Because he was dissatisfied with the emperor Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenhu, he continued to brainwash Shan Yutong and his group, secretly providing supplies and weapons in order to expand his power, and declared that he wanted to oust the current emperor.
With the support of Grand Chief Yu Wenhu, Shan Yutong's green forest team began to rebel and betray the imperial court. In the early stage, Wu Chu was one of the 12 great guardians under Shan Yutong. He had rich combat experience and was extremely powerful in martial arts. The first of the 12 great Dharma protectors.
Since Shan Yutong's team was defeated by Yang Jian, Wu Chu recruited Big Brother's old troops and called himself {Tongzhou Military Commander}
Wu Chu is the god of rivers who comes to the world to take charge of all the Tianjiang Rivers in the world. In his previous life, he was the reincarnation of Wu Zixu, the doctor of the Wu Kingdom. A pair of copper and iron whips imprisoned the dragon and whipped Yu Wen Xiaobo at the most critical point in the sky to protect the city and defeated Yang Jian 60 times. There was no winner or loser. Yang Jian, who was shaken by the copper whip, simply doubted his life.
Wu Zixu once tried to protect the country of Wu, but he was slandered and killed by a villain. After Doctor Wu passed away, Emperor Ji Jun looked through the book of life and death and saw that his fate should not be terminated, so he named Wu Zixu the god of Jiang. The Wu family of common people.
Yang Jian was defeated and Yang Lin held a pair of horned dragon sticks and fought with Wu Chu. When Wu Chu saw the man opposite him, he had a face like a powder, two yellow eyebrows, a curved body, nine feet long, a waist of ten girth, and a mustache with three locks, he felt that this man was not an ordinary person, so he couldn't help but say He raised his whip and whipped Yang Lin, who was staggering, but he ducked sideways just in time.
Yang Lin saw that Wu Chu had lost his strength and struck the dragon with the stick. Wu Chu only took three moves. The first move was taken by Wu Chu smoothly. The second move was taken by Wu Chu smoothly. Wu Chu was a little exhausted. The third move made Wu Chu's fingers numb and seemed a little labored. If you can't hold it any longer, hurry up and say.
"Boy, we didn't have lunch today. When we go back and have enough to eat and drink, we will come back to fight you."
After saying that, Wu Chu quickly reined in his horse and left.
Wu Chu was exhausted from the wheel tactics of Yang Jian and Yu Wen Xiaobo, and was already covered in sweat. If he continued to entangle with Yang Lin, it might be detrimental to him, so he could only pursue the strategy of thirty-six tactics.
Yu Wenhu then narrated the situation of his inspection of Tongzhou and informed the emperor of several transferred officials, including the reactivation of Wei Guogong Yuwen who had been dismissed for several years and directly transferred him to Tongzhou as the general manager.
"We agree with the reinstatement of my brother-in-law. I don't know what the chief minister is doing. He doesn't come to see us on weekdays, but he often nags me next to my mother."
Then the emperor stopped his smile and said.
"But as the Grand Chief said, Tongzhou is located in a choke point. My brother is a rough man. I don't know if he will be promoted no matter where I send him."
"Whether he gets promoted or not, we'll see first."
Yuwenhu asked next.
"How is your health, Queen Mother?"
"My mother's daily life is quite normal, but she is too greedy and gets drunk as soon as she drinks. Once she is drunk, she falls unconscious. I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother later and hope that the Grand Chief will give her some advice."
"Okay, this matter will be taken care of by us. We will first tell the Queen Mother that Wei Guogong will be re-appointed as the general manager of the Zhou Dynasty and the Emperor Li is very close. The Queen Mother will definitely be happy for Wei Guogong, and then we will persuade him to stop drinking. Keep yourself healthy.”
"Okay, she will be happy to hear that the Duke of Wei has been reinstated."
Emperor Yu Wenyong smiled and took out a folded page from his sleeve and said.
"We have an anti-drinking advice here. Please ask the chief minister to read it to the queen for a while. The effect will be better."
Yu Wenhu took the wine and drank it. He saw that the writing was humorous and catchy. He laughed while reading.
"Okay, we will sing the song according to the script in a while. She will be happy to hear it and will definitely accept it. Can we go see her now?"
Yu Wenhu put the wine report into his sleeve and walked out of Wen'an Palace with the emperor. When he saw the honor guard and the guard lineup below on both sides of the road, he suddenly asked.
"How come your Majesty is traveling without any Royal Guards?"
The emperor pointed at Yuwen Xiaobo who was clearing the way.
"We simply brought a few guards with us. There is no need to make a big fuss in the palace wherever we go. We know that the Grand Chief will be accompanied by a cavalry passed down by you personally. We will go with you to see the Queen Mother. Can anything unexpected happen?"
"Your Majesty really does take good care of your palace guards, but you should not be careless and guard yourself against others."
The monarch and his ministers stepped off the cart respectively and got on their respective carriages. The emperor's ceremonial guard and Ji Mu's carriage were at the front. The grand chief's ceremonial guard and carriage were followed closely by the heavily armed light cavalry guards. Go towards the majesty of Hanren Hall.
After a while, the emperor's Ji Mu car stopped in the middle of Hanren Hall and he ordered.
"Go forward and wait until the car reaches the left side of the palace gate before stopping."
The Grand Chief's car was parked on the right side of the gate. The Emperor saw the Grand Chief's car stopped before he got out of the car. At this time, the Grand Chief also got out of the car and waited for the Emperor and the Grand Chief who were about to enter Hanren Hall. Shi Huizhu walked out from the crowd and knelt in front of the emperor and the chief minister.
"who is she?"
Yu Wenhu glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and then looked at the emperor.
"Isn't she the maid Huizhu you gave us as a gift to the Chief Executive?"
Huizhu stood up in front of the public and lowered his head shyly.
"Oh, it's Huizhu."
Yu Wenhu laughed in relief.
"I heard that General Hou Longen said that you are becoming more and more promising and you are teaching the sage how to play chess."
Huizhu's waist and head were so low that she didn't dare to reply.
"That's right. Her chess skills are indeed good, but I have to thank the Chief for giving us such a good slave."
Then Emperor Yu Wenyong said to Huizhu.
"Hurry up and take out the things. We almost forgot."
Huizhu took out the heavy jade jade from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor with both hands above his head.
Yuwenhu asked curiously.
"What is this? It can't slide."
"The Grand Chief is so forgetful. This is the jade you gave us. The Queen Mother likes to play with jade, so I'm going to give it to the Queen Mother to play with."
After saying that, he put the jade into his sleeve.
"We really didn't know that our ancestors were so elegant and rare in jade. We still have a few more exquisite ones, and I will send them to her tomorrow."
The monarch and his ministers walked into the Hanren Palace while chatting. The eunuch and a group of slaves and maids cheered and embraced them into the living room.
"Sheng and I will go up to Hanren Hall to visit the Queen Mother, so you don't have to follow us."
Before leaving, Yu Wen Hui, nephew of Yu Wen Hu, felt something was wrong because his right eye kept twitching, so he gave instructions.
"Uncle, my nephew's eyelids have been twitching these days. You'd better bring more troops, or bring your weapons, in case of emergencies."
Even though Yu Wenhu was over 50 years old, his martial arts skills were still unshakable throughout the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"It's too much to worry about. Even if we don't bring anyone with us, there will be a bunch of people in the court, and no one will dare to touch us."
At the door of Yu Wenhu's house were carved two iron lions weighing more than a thousand kilograms. Seeing that his nephew was still worried, he walked up to the front door.
"Huiji, take a look."
Yu Wenhu tied the two iron lions together on both shoulders and lifted them above his head with great strength. He lifted and released them three times without taking a breath.
The Empress Dowager Chinu is nearly 60 years old, so today is the official reception for her. She is neatly dressed and still looking very strong. She is sitting on the chair of the grand master, waiting for the ceremony. The Prime Minister Bi is sitting on the right side of the guest's seat. The Emperor Yu Wenyong is sitting on the left side of the empress.
Yu Wenhu said first.
"Queen Mother, Yu Wenzhi has been restored to his original position."
Then asked again.
"Your Majesty, are you okay with your food and daily life lately?"
The Empress Dowager Chinu was in a good mood and said with a hearty smile.
"It's nothing else. We just have a few sips of wine. After all, age is not forgiving. It doesn't matter how much we drank when we were young. But now it's too late and we can't stop the alcohol after just a few drinks."
"You have to pay attention to your health. It won't be a problem for our ancestors to give up drinking and live to be 100 years old. I have a wine message that I might as well read to my ancestors."
"no, I'm fine."
The Empress Dowager Chinu waved her hands and smiled.
"The people from Hanren Palace have tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail."
"This wine report from our ancestors is extraordinary. It may be more effective than the imperial doctor's hangover soup."
"Is it really that good? Mr. Zai might as well read it to us to relieve our fatigue."
Yuwenhu glanced at the emperor with interest, then took out the wine from his sleeve and began to read.
Yu Wenhu had been studying very hard since he was a child. Now when he read the wine speech, he was even more precise, cadenced and melodious. The Empress Dowager laughed and laughed as she listened. Tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing this, Yu Wenhu became more devoted and shook his head with emotion.
At this moment, Emperor Yu Wenyong stood up and walked around from the side of Empress Dowager Chinu to behind Yu Wenhu. He quickly took out the jade bi from his sleeve and swung it down with all his strength. He saw a white light flashing across and a muffled sound of jade. It hit Yu Wenhu on the back of the head.
Yuwen threw away the wine notice in his hand in pain, covered the back of his head, and walked straight towards Yuwen Yong with a blue light in his eyes. A little eunuch below noticed something was wrong and shouted quickly.
"Guard you, escort you."
A group of swordsmen and axemen who had been lying in wait for a long time rushed in quickly from both sides of the door. Each of them was tall, powerful, and experienced in many battles, and they were all the emperor's palace guards.
"Quickly, capture this rebellious old traitor."
Seeing the swordsman and axe, Yuwen Hu rushed towards him. He had no bodyguards around him and was arranged to eat, drink and rest in the Wen'an Palace 3 kilometers away. He could only bite the bullet and hit Yuwen Yong with the boring machine. Yuwen Xiaobo appeared out of nowhere. The gun tilted the sun and the moon.
Yuwen Xiaobo and the young generals controlled Yuwen Hu's life and death in the Hanren Hall. Yuwen Hu beat the young generals several times, killing and injuring most of them. Yuwen Xiaobo could only stab Yuwen Hu with a spear, but he dodged it, and then he fired a boring blow at Yu Wenxiao who was shocked. His arms tightened and the pain suddenly intensified.
While the two were fighting, a pair of sledgehammers came down and hit Yuwen Xiaobo directly on the handle of the gun. He was sitting on the ground with his legs spread apart. Riyue Boring stabbed Yuwen Xiaobo face to face again. He used four-quarter force and a sledgehammer flew out. Seven or eight meters.
Yuwen Xiaobo used all his strength to stab him with all his strength. Seeing that his eyes were red, Yuwen Hu knew that he had used his strength. In order to prevent accidents, Yu Wenhu used six points of force to meet him. Yuwen Xiaobo was ejected several meters away. Unable to bear it, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, picked up King Xiang's gun, and staggered away in defeat.
A hidden arrow flew directly and hit General Sledgehammer in the back. Seeing this, Yuwenhu quickly pulled up General Sledgehammer and flew out of the palace where he almost died.
This blow fully vented the anger of the emperor for 13 years. A generation of powerful officials, Yu Wenhu, fled in embarrassment. The black hat on his head, symbolizing a first-class official, rolled to the ground.
The Queen Mother was shocked and her smile suddenly disappeared. She glanced at the Emperor's son and saw that the murderous look on his face was still holding the piece of bloody jade in his hand. Then she knew that he was serious about the Queen and stopped asking any more questions.
"Well done, it can be considered as comforting the souls of your two royal brothers in heaven."
Emperor Yu Wenyong and many soldiers quickly walked into Hanren Hall to find out what was going on. He saw Yuwen Xiaobo holding the tip of King Xiang's spear on the ground and struggling with all his strength.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die. We can't defeat Yu Wenhu. He and another Sledgehammer general completely ran away."·
"General Sledgehammer? Is that man named Yutong?"
"We don't know. During the fight just now, we saw a single word engraved on the two sledgehammers."
The empress dowager, who had been fighting with Taizu Yuwentai all her life, was already accustomed to blood and killing. She was frightened because she had no prior knowledge. At this time, she stood up and pointed the dragon-headed cane at her two sons.
"We are no longer as old as we used to be. Please ask your servants to clean up and leave no traces of blood."
After that, he left by himself without anyone’s help! !
The two brothers whispered to each other for a brief discussion. Yu Wen immediately called the eunuchs and guards in the palace, wrapped the bodies of the young generals in cloths and moved them out of the palace. They roughly cleaned the palace and let Yu Wenyong sit in the queen mother's chair.
"No one can talk about this matter to avoid alerting others. As for Yu Wenhu, I believe he will always show up. Next time we meet him, we will kill him with lightning speed."
Then Yu Wenzhi came to the door of Hanren Hall, glanced into the distance and said majestically.
"The palace official Yuwen Xiaobo and the generals of all countries, Hou Longenhou Wanshou, listen to the order."
When Yuwen Xiaobo was injured, he left first. The two people waiting outside the hall came out from their respective ceremonial guards and knelt under the main hall. Yuwen straightened his clothes and stood facing south, looking southward, and announced.
"The empress dowager Chinu gave a banquet to entertain the emperor and the chief minister, and summoned Marquis Wanshou Long En to the table. All the other people lined up and returned to the house."
The flattered Hou Longen brothers immediately ordered the Grand Chief's honor guard and cavalry guards to line up back to the mansion. Yu Wenzhi also ordered the emperor's honor guard and entourage to return to the Yanshou Palace.
Although Yu Wen Xiaobo didn't make it clear to outsiders, there were hints in his words that indicated that the Grand Chief had submitted and immediately wanted to deal with the two brothers Hou Longen and Hou Wanshou.
Yuwen Xiaobo was a little more skilled than the two brothers and could only go out again to solve this big problem for the emperor. At that moment, several people gave in to each other and followed Yuwen straight into the living room of Hanren Palace. Yuwen Yong slapped the bloody jade on the table and shouted. road.
"Get it for me."
The two brothers Hou Wanshou and Hou Longen are not vegetarians. How could they see death before their eyes? Just when Yuwen Xiaobo was about to stab him with his spear, Hou Wanshou deflected the shot and missed him. Hou Longen saw the right moment and wanted to kill Yuwen Xiaobo. A side stab killed Hou Longen.
"brother."
Hou Wanshou yelled and saw his brother lying motionless on the ground. Anger rushed into his heart and he threw his head over his head.
"Do you know my gong?"
Yuwen Xiaobo forcefully took a move and staggered back a few steps. When Hou Wanshou saw this, he wanted to take Yuwen Xiaobo's life directly. He lifted it on his back and swept him with another blow. Yuwen Xiaobo raised his arms and penetrated the gap. .
Seeing that guy's eyes turned red, Yu Wen Xiaobo struggled so hard that he could only drop his Xiang Wangqiang and used his unique skill to choke his throat. He punched his Adam's apple with one punch. Hou Wanshou lost all strength in an instant. He hesitated and fell down after a while. on the ground.
Hou Wanshou wanted to stand up desperately, but he had no strength, so he could only kneel on the ground, scratch his neck and kick his legs to end his life.
Then Yuwen Zhi and Yuwen Shen raised their hands and held the imperial edict and led the imperial army into Yuwenhu's house. In one fell swoop, their son and nephew Yuwenhui, Yuwenzhi, Wenjing, Wenjing, Wenqian, Jiayuwengan, Wei, Yuwengan attacked their nephew Yuwenguang, Yuwenhui and arrested them.
On the way to being escorted, Yuwen Huiji beat several guards to death with shadowless fists. Knowing that his uncle was probably not alive, he staggered towards the original mutual protection city.
When Wang Gui counted the number of people, he found that Yuwen Huiyu and Yuwen Huiji were missing, so he issued an order.
"All the military offices in Chang'an City will kill Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Huiji immediately if they encounter them."
And began to implement static management in Chang'an City, and discovered Yu Wenhu's associates on a large scale.
Two days later, Yuwen Zhi and Yuwen Shenju were ordered to go to the Yanshou Hall and the emperor handed them a batch of execution lists that had been personally approved and decided.
Yu Wenzhi looked over it and asked.
"This Li An is the cook. Why did he be executed?"
Yuwen Yong said.
"Brother, you don't know. Our brother Emperor Ming was poisoned to death by this person. He deserved his death."
Yuwen said directly.
“Then should Yu Wenxian, the fence-sitting faction, also be executed?”
Yu Wenzhi has always disliked Yu Wenxian's tendency to please both sides.
When he was about to tell the difference, Emperor Yu Wenyong said with a solemn expression.
"Brother, there's no need to say anything. Yu Wenxian has never done anything bad, so let's forgive him."
