After the murder of the emperor's uncle Yu Wenxian, the new emperor Yu Wenyun became even more unscrupulous and went on a killing spree to get rid of his opponents and ordered his servant Du Qian to believe in the truth.
"You rushed to Xuzhou overnight to kill the troublesome Wang Gui and then threw him into the river to feed the fish."
Yan Zhiyi, who was Yu Wenyun's young Taifu and was the imperial minister at that time, heard about it and hurriedly came to see him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is a veteran of the previous dynasty who has made outstanding contributions. If you execute him for an unknown reason, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on the ministers of the dynasty."
Yu Wenyun said dismissively.
"Sir, do you know that Wang Gui is a fence-sitter? If such a person can betray you today, he will dare to betray me tomorrow. Didn't you say that our teacher has no name? If you want your minister to die, you must die, so we will execute him for betraying the enemy for glory."
In order not to cause panic in the court, Yu Wenyun sent assassins to Xuzhou and took advantage of Wang Gui to accompany his wife to enjoy flowers and birds in the courtyard. He fired a cold arrow and heard a mournful cry.
"ah."
Looking at Wang Gui again, he saw that the arrow had penetrated his head and his whole body was slumped, being nailed firmly to the doorpost.
When Yuwen Shenju heard about the situation, he knew that he might not die soon, so he made a cup of poisonous wine at home and drank it all in one gulp. Yuwen Xiaobo, who was both talented and well-mannered, also passed away due to unknown reasons at his home in Chang'an and was discovered by his family. Later, I saw Yuwen Xiaobo still holding a bamboo book in his hand.
Yu Wen Yun encountered almost no resistance and successfully eliminated all the past conflicts and stumbling blocks in the court. Then, with the participation of Liu Pi and Zheng Yi, Yu Wen Yun dealt with the remaining royal relatives who had no military power. Comforted.
After everything was done, Yu Wenyun first issued an edict in the palace.
"Yang Lihua has both virtues and conduct, a gentle personality, and the appearance of a mother to the world. She is now crowned Queen. Imperial envoy!"
A few days later, Yu Wenyun suddenly issued another imperial edict.
"Although the second emperor's uncle is the king of Zhao, he has never won an actual official position. Now the second emperor's uncle Yu Wenzhao is the grand master, the third emperor's uncle Chen Wang Yuwen Chun is the Taifu, the four emperor's uncles are Wang Yuwenda and Teng Wang Yuwen. Kui, the Duke of Lu, Wei Chi Yun, and the eldest grandson of Xue, Lan, were all appointed to the State of Zhu."
After some appeasement, the imperial court began to gradually become calmer. A few days before peace, Emperor Yu Wenyun suddenly received a secret letter attached.
"Several imperial uncles often gathered at home to slander the Holy One who was cruel and unkind and unworthy of his responsibilities. They also discussed together that they should find an opportunity to abolish the Holy One's order and establish a new king."
After reading this, Yu Wenyun was furious and tore the secret letter into pieces and then said to Zheng Yi.
"We have given the most honorable positions of the three princes to several other imperial uncles and enshrined them as our biological fathers. But why do they still slander us? If they are so dissatisfied, it would be better to get rid of them one by one."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this."
Zheng Yi sang the opposite tune this time.
"After the death of King Qi, things seemed to be calm in the court. In fact, the aftermath is still lingering. The private discussions among several imperial uncles are a symptom of the undercurrent. If the killing spree is launched again, it may turn out to be the worst possible outcome. The situation in the court will be even worse in the future. It can be difficult to control.”
"ah?"
Yu Wenyun suddenly lost his idea and turned his head to Liu Pidao.
"What should I do if I learn from you?"
"How do I think it is possible for so many of my fathers to gather in the capital to shut them up? What is even more troublesome is that their ridiculous remarks will be spread to the civil and military officials of the dynasty and affect the emperor's rule. It is better to invite them out of the capital one by one. It would not be a big deal if the Bodhisattva built a temple and exiled them far away."
"Okay, this is a great idea."
Yu Wenyun said happily.
"Just do as Mr. Liu says, and you must do it quickly."
After Yu Wenyun and Liu Pi and Zheng Yi jointly discussed, Luoyang Xiangguo County was the territory of King Zhao, and Hebei Shangdang County was the territory of King Dai. Soon he will leave for his own kingdom.
According to legend, Yuwenzhao is a pair of heaven and earth whips weighing 600 kilograms. This whip can not only hit the enemy, but also be unpredictable. If it hits the enemy, it can be recited to injure the enemy.
Yu Wenchun is the reincarnation of Yin Jiao, the son of Zi Shou. He has a square halberd weighing 500 kilograms and has the unique skill of piercing the sky. Whenever he encounters danger, Yu Wenchun's third eye can distinguish right from wrong and can observe the movements of the enemy. Nicknamed {Three-Eyed General}, a square halberd weighing 500 kilograms often smashed the enemy's ribs into pieces on the battlefield.
Yu Wenda was the reincarnation of Yi, the good envoy of the Xia Dynasty. He had a golden hammer with dragon seals and was good at shooting. It weighed 500 kilograms and was made by an immortal in a dream. He painted a gourd and a gourd to create this hammer. Even the sand sculpture Li Yuanba had to cry when he came.
Yuwen Kuan is the reincarnation of the Winged Immortal who used to be beside Buddha Ran Deng. He has a square iron pole that weighs 400 kilograms and is extremely skilled in martial arts. He has modified Yu Wenhu's special skill of phantom grappling and practiced it to the extreme. His skill is far more than a hundred times that of Yu Wenhu.
Since the murder of King Yuwenxian of Qi, the four remaining brothers, especially the talented King Yuwenzhao of Zhao, have felt deeply in danger.
"The Holy Spirit has released us this time to be the kings of a feudal kingdom. We really feel like a golden bird nostalgic for the old forest."
In addition to leaving their hometown in the capital, they only took some of their soldiers and family members with them and went to the feudal state to enjoy their happiness. Yu Wenyun drove them away. In addition, they got rid of the serious troubles in their inner circle. For this, they breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Pi and Zheng Yi.
"Those who deserve to be killed are killed and those who deserve to go are gone. No one in this court can pose a threat to us anymore."
The person who cared for him died, and the person who wanted to help him was also killed. The unfettered people around him, Yu Wenyun, began to do whatever they wanted, and became more cruel and unscrupulous.
One day, Yu Wenyun suddenly thought of conferring the title of queen on the other three concubines besides Yang Lihua, so he asked Yuki Hiko about this matter.
"If we can make all three of our beloved concubines queens, can we have an explanation that will convince all the people in the world?"
Yukihiko has a straightforward personality.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is equal to the Emperor and has the same dignity, so the Queen is only worthy of having one person. Those beauties in your harem are just some promiscuous women who are greedy for fame and fortune. If they become the emperor, they will not disrupt the entire court like Su Daji. Is that so? I have served as an official in the court for several years and I know very well that Queen Yang is an upright person with a gentle personality and the tendency to be a mother to the world. If your Majesty insists on not listening, I will retire and return to my hometown today and swear not to serve as an official under the faint king."
After hearing this, Yu Wenyun became a little unhappy and turned around to ask the eunuch what was wrong.
"Let's just establish a few concubines. Do you think it's as serious as what Yukihiko said?"
He Tuo said dismissively.
"In ancient times, Emperor Ku had four wives. Emperor Yu and Emperor Shun each had two wives. The supreme emperor could do whatever he wanted. He could grant as many titles as he wanted. There was no limit on the number. Emperor Zhou was lucky enough to rise and build Where’s the cockroach basin?”
After hearing this, Yu Wenyun was overjoyed and immediately worshiped He Tuo as the uncle of Xiangcheng. He said to Xing Yan who was standing aside.
"Don't you want to retire and return to your hometown? We will make it happen for you."
Yukihiko's way.
"With such a king in the court, what is the use of being an official? In the future, I will tell my family that after my death, I will dig out the eyes of the old minister and hang them in the gate tower. I want to see with my own eyes the national destiny of the Northern Zhou Empire under the leadership of a foolish king. How did you lose your glory?"
Then Yu Wenyun personally drafted an imperial edict and conferred titles according to He Tuo's statement.
"The Yang family is Queen Tianyuan, the Zhu family is Queen Tiandi, the Yuan family is Queen Tianyou, and the Chen family is Queen Tianzuo."
After the empress seal matters were completed, Yu Wenyun held a banquet in the harem and ordered all the officials and wives to come to celebrate. For a while, the harem was decorated with lights and colorful skirts, and beauties were flying like clouds and singing and singing.
On weekdays, most of the married women of officials' families live in deep houses and compounds, and are ignorant of the affairs of the public. They are all very excited when they have seen such scenes. The appearance of so many gorgeous and beautiful women in front of Yu Wenyun made Yu Wenyun even more unusually happy.
Yu Wenyun danced and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, just like a hunter noticing his prey, sparks blooming in his eyes.
Not far from Yu Wenyun, there was a girl in her prime with delicate skin and clear eyes, sitting calmly in front of the banquet and paying attention to several clowns with colorful faces painted on their faces.
The woman was amused by the clown's funny actions for a while, and then showed a look of surprise and worry at the unexpected surprise. The more Yu Wenyun looked at it, the more he felt that this slightly innocent little daughter-in-law was really cute, so he pointed at her and whispered to her. Yang Lihua said.
"Who are the woman's family members?"
Yang Lihua glanced at her husband impatiently and muttered to herself.
"The emperor wants to make crooked ideas about other women again."
Yang Lihua wanted her husband to know the woman's family background so that Yu Wenyun could give up his evil thoughts, so he pointed at her and introduced her solemnly.
"Her name is Yuchi Chifan. She is the granddaughter of Yuchi Jiong, Duke of Shu. She is married to Yu Wenwen, Duke of Xiyang. In terms of seniority, she is the niece of the Holy Emperor."
"Oh my god, not only can the Duke of Shu lead troops in war, but he also has such strong family genes. No wonder we heard rumors that when he was young, the Duke of Shu was known as the most beautiful man in the world. At that time, even our uncle Yu Wenhu You all have to stand aside."
Yu Wenyun cast his eyes on Yuchi Chifan and praised with jealousy on his face.
"Yu Wenwen is so lucky to have such a good wife."
After saying that, Yu Wenyun didn't know which part was wrong, picked up a glass of wine, walked to Yuchi Chifan, put the wine on the table and said.
"Niece-in-law, I, as my uncle, didn't have time to attend your wedding to Wen'er. Come on, how about you have a drink with me today?"
Yuchi Chifan, who was staring at the dance with concentration, was about to kneel down when he saw His Majesty the Holy Lord. He was so disappointed that he was about to kneel down, but was grabbed by Yu Wenyun. The two looked at each other as if sparks were about to fly. Yu Wenyun spoke first.
"Today we have already announced that we will not follow the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, but you must drink the wine we give you."
Unable to disobey the king's orders, Yuchi Chifan had no choice but to pick up the glass of wine, tilt his neck and drink it down without hesitation. For a moment, all the women cheered. Yu Wenyun looked at Chifan again, only to see that his originally delicate and white face had changed. It is already blooming like a peach blossom and looks even more radiant and charming!
At the beginning of the Holy Sage, all the beauties followed suit, vying to toast Yuchi Chifan. How could a little girl with a thin body withstand the waves of toasts that came one after another? In order not to refute others, they drank till they were drunk. He was helped by several maids to go to the palace to rest!
During the dinner, Yuwen Yun ordered someone to speak to the servants and bearers who came to pick up Chifan.
"The queen is drunk and has rested in the palace. There is a doctor in the palace to take care of her. Don't worry. Everyone, please go back."
That night, Yu Wen Yun couldn't wait to rush into the harem with a bad smile on his face to visit Chi Fan, who was sleeping soundly. Since Chi Fan entered the palace, Yu Wen Yun's family sent people to ask for his daughter-in-law from the emperor every day. Yu Wen Yun searched for various reasons but refused to give her.
More than ten days later, under Chi Fan's insults and pleadings, Yang Lihua learned through the eunuch that her husband had imprisoned Chi Fan, and quickly ordered someone to send her back home. Before leaving, Yang Lihua did not forget to comfort her.
"Don't tell the Duke of Shu and the Duke of Yongchang about Chi Fan, otherwise the two families will fall out and cause trouble."
After returning home, his father-in-law Yu Wenliang saw that Chi Fan was in bad condition and kept holding his stomach. He immediately noticed that something was wrong. Under repeated questioning by Yu Wenliang and Yu Wenwen, Chi Fan confessed everything while sobbing.
"That day when we went to the palace for a banquet, the emperor kept letting me drink wine until I fell unconscious, and then I was humiliated by him."
Collapse often happens in an instant. Yu Wenwen yelled and then trembled all over.
"Ah......... My wife and child are just pregnant, Yu Wenyun, how dare you do this? Such a beast is no better than a beast, so take my wolf fang and iron tree, and we will rush into the palace now to seize Yu Wenyun's bird position and seek an explanation for Chi Fan."
When Yu Wenliang heard such rebellious words, he turned around and said in Yu Wenwen's face.
"How old are you? How come you are still as impulsive as a child? It would be great if the servants at home could hear these words and report them to that foolish king."
At this time, several big men who were eavesdropping outside the door opened the door and came in. They knelt down and said.
"Master, how can I swallow my breath after being so humiliated? I've been here for many years. No one can't say good things about my character. Every year during the holidays, my wife would send us money and send it home, so that our family can After all, my children have gotten away with it. If we want to seek revenge in the future, we must follow our master's family to fight against the emperor and create a peaceful and prosperous age. As for the seller seeking glory, we can't do that."
One of the house slaves interjected.
"The wing room in our house has always been free and soundproofed. Why not use it to build weapons, develop forces, and rectify the grievances of the empress? The opportunity to rectify the grievances of the empress starts from the first step. Over the years, we have observed that the virtues of the young master's family are much better than that of Yu Wenyun. More than that, if you want to be the emperor, you have to do it with the master’s family and the young master’s family.”
After Yu Wenliang thought deeply, he felt that the army he commanded alone was not enough to overthrow the absurd monarch, so he secretly told Du Shijun, the commander of the army.
"The Holy Emperor is now even more dissolute and unethical. The Northern Zhou Empire will soon fall at his hands. As a royal clan, we cannot stand by and watch the country's demise. Now if we lead an army to sneak attack Duke Yun and annex his army, then recommend an uncle of the clan. Who wouldn’t follow my uncle’s grand march on behalf of the military leader?”
The Duke of Yun in Yu Wenliang's mouth was Wei Xiaokuan, the general who was responsible for the war against the Chen Dynasty. Little did he know that people's hearts were very different from each other. This conversation was heard by the emperor's spy in Yu Wenliang's house, Ru Kuan, who immediately reported the matter in a letter. Gave it to Wei Xiaokuan.
"Yu Wenliang will lead his troops to attack General Wei's camp from time to time. General, please be on guard at all times. Your Majesty, Kuan!"
The next day, when Yu Wenliang was about to set off with his army, he said to his son Yuwen Wen.
"If something unexpected happens when dad goes away, you must remember not to show off your edge. You must learn to use deception to avoid the suspicion of the foolish king. As long as you are alive, our family will have hope."
The two men talked until midnight. When Yu Wenliang's scouting horse saw the lights in the opponent's barracks turned off, he raised a fire to signal that he could march. Yu Wenliang immediately led 300 cavalry to launch a sneak attack on Wei Xiaokuan's barracks under the waning star and moon. Unexpectedly, Wei Gong had been prepared for it.
Yu Wenliang was shocked and couldn't believe Wei Xiaokuan's ingenious plan. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and he saw a heavy black cavalry spread out in a series of formations and surrounded Yu Wenliang's troops and horses. Wei Xiaokuan came out and said.
"Why did you betray the imperial court and attack our camp at night? Could it be that you are going to be a treasonous traitor?"
When Yu Wenliang saw this, he said directly without hesitation.
"Brother Wei Xian, you and I have known each other for many years. Do you know that Yuwen Yun insulted my daughter-in-law? Today I have decided to rebel. No matter how many troops the court sends to suppress us, how can we beg that yellow-skinned boy to spare his life? Brother Xian, If you join forces with me to destroy Yu Wenyun, I am willing to share the world with my virtuous brother."
Wei Xiaokuan said.
"Forgive Xiao Kuan for disobedience, and we also know a little about Chi Fan. But now when we are attacking Chen, the morale of the army must not be weakened. My brother is old and his bones and muscles are not strong. If he puts down his weapons and surrenders today, I can intercede with the Holy Lord. I will never pursue what happened today, and I will count it as a great achievement for you when you and my brother join forces to destroy Chen Ba."
"Bah, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to join me in fighting against the evil king and insist on helping him do evil, then don't blame us."
"To capture the thief, capture the king first, and then we capture you first."
After saying this, Yu Wenliang immediately stepped forward and raised his spear, which was about to fall over his head. When Wei Xiaokuan saw this, he dodged and his spear fell directly on the horse. Suddenly, hundreds of bows and arrows rained down from the sky, killing most of Yu Wenliang's soldiers. .
Just when Yu Wenliang was hiding from the arrow and taking advantage of him, he only heard an exclamation.
"Ayo."
Wei Xiaokuan, who has been practicing martial arts for many years and has excellent physical fitness, only used 30% of his strength to smash Yu Wenliang's head into thousands of peach blossoms.
Legend has it that Yu Wenliang was the sixth descendant of the ancient god Dayu, Si Shao Kang Lin, the leader of the Youyun tribe. Because he taught the people to cultivate rice under the good weather of You still's governance, Han Zhuo, the minister, was jealous and killed Shaokang in front of Yu Si, the leader of the Yu tribe with the same surname. With the help of the news, Si Shaokang's descendant Si Houzhu finally defeated Hanzhuo and reestablished the Xia Dynasty.
After Yu Si died, because he still had two years of dragon life left, he turned to Yu Wenliang's father, Yu Wen, to guide the lower world to become emperor, while Shaokang turned to Yu Wenliang to assist his father.
At that time, in order to be able to serve as an official and worship his prime minister, Director Yu Wen ignored the opposition of others and insisted on establishing Yuan Baoju as the puppet emperor, which posed a great threat to Yu Wenhu. He invited Director Yu Wen to a banquet while he was drunk, went to jail and tortured him to death.
The good news of Wei Xiaokuan's execution of Yu Wenliang soon spread to Chang'an. In order to exterminate the remaining forces and convict Yu Wenliang of treason, the palace soldiers broke into Yu Wenliang's house overnight and started killing. Under the desperate protection of several male servants in the house, they heard someone turn around and shout. .
"Young master, you and my wife go first. There is hope for you while you are alive."
Yu Wenwen watched as the fire burned half of the mansion and ignored the many generals who pushed Chi Fan out of the door.
"Chifan, walk quickly, the farther you go, the better."
Several palace soldiers became more and more excited as they killed each other and walked to Yu Wenwen to see his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes and said angrily.
"Kill my father and humiliate my wife. Even if we die today, we will drag Hunjun to hell with us."
Yu Wenwen ignored the intensity of the fire and pushed down several palace soldiers ten meters away. The fire became bigger and bigger. Soon, the raging fire covered the entire mansion. Yu Wenwen was about to get up and was about to go out to look for Chi Fan, but was dropped by a pillar of fire. He was hit dead in the middle of his forehead.
After getting Chi Fan as he wished, Yu Wenyun became even more addicted to wine and sex. Sometimes he would sleep with Chi Fan in his arms and even lose the intention of going to court, so he announced to the minister.
"I'm getting old. As for the throne, I'll pass it on to Chan'er if I want. It would be great if we could be the Supreme Emperor who doesn't have to go to court. This would also save some of you from scolding me behind my back as an unpopular emperor."
In order to please Xinhuan, Yuchi Chifan was soon enthroned as the Great Queen of Tianzuo. Yuwen Yun personally issued an edict.
"On the third day of the last day, a ceremony will be held for the new queen, and everyone in Chang'an City will hand over ten pieces of silk to congratulate her."
This edict was read out by Changsun Lan, who had a particularly loud voice.
"Your family has accumulated good deeds, your appearance is gentle, virtuous, and your moral character is both prosperous and generous. I praise you very much for this, so I use such a grand ceremony to promote such a grand ceremony. You must carefully abide by the laws of womanhood, treat destiny respectfully, and always present the grand beauty." Things are."
Despite this, Yuchi Chifan was not happy in his heart. Changsun Lan's voice was as loud as a song, and his words of praise were as sweet as honey, but they were like a sharp steel needle pricking into the pain in Chifan's heart. She couldn't help but murmur.
"The slave family has been able to survive until now with dozens of fresh lives from the husband's family. Can Yu Wenyun hold such a grand ceremony for me today to cover up the bloody crimes he has committed?"
The weak Chi Fan thought of this and two lines of blue tears involuntarily came out of her beautiful eyes.
