Yu Chi Gong’s elder brother Yu Chi Xu was much older than him. He had a serious illness when he was young, which caused his calves to atrophy and develop slowly. When he grew up, his legs were crippled and his body was not very strong.
Yu Chixu knew that he was not worthy of the position of crown prince, so even though he was his eldest son, he still withdrew from the competition for crown prince early.
In his weak years, in order not to hinder Yuchi Gong and for the sake of the country and the country, he even asked to seal off the war-prone border areas and guard them as a prince.
One blow shattered the rest of the princes who had disloyal intentions in the capital. These people could only put away their evil thoughts and enfeoffed them with hatred.
In an eventful year four or five years ago, there was a sudden flood in the south, and several official ships transporting grain sank in this section. As the prince, Yu Chigong personally went south to provide disaster relief and inspect the sunken ships, and discovered a shocking case of corruption in water transportation over the years.
But at this time, battle reports came from the border, and a small group of brothers were harassing them. The place of attack was the place where brother Yuchi Gong was guarding.
At that time, Yuchi was in charge of disaster relief, and the investigation of corruption and water transport chaos in the Qing Dynasty was at a critical stage. He had no time to care about it. He only thought that this time the enemy invaded and harassed as usual.
Accidents occurred frequently, and the late emperor was exhausted and exhausted, so he handed over border affairs to the Ministry of War.
When Yuchi Gong's campaign to the south was in full swing, he received bad news one after another. First, there was an urgent report from the border. What was originally a small harassment by the Xiongnu turned into a large-scale and menacing invasion.
Immediately afterwards, I received news that my brother had passed away suddenly, that there was a crisis at the border, and then that the late emperor was in severe pain and vomited blood and fainted in the hall, and that the prince who had been entrusted was about to make a move, and many other bad news.
More than half a month had passed since these news reached his ears. The court was in turmoil and the internal and external situation was critical.
The Queen Mother, who was still a queen, endured the sorrow and guarded the former harem by herself, trying her best to support it.
Yuchi Gong ignored his grief and resisted the idea of ​​going to the border in person. He mobilized troops from surrounding camps and used thunderous power to clear up the corruption in water transportation within two days.
While arresting, interrogating, beheading and copying, they divided the stolen money and grain into two parts, one to go to disaster relief and the other to the border.
The matter was not settled yet, so Yuchi Gong did not want to stay too long, so he left his confidants behind, assigned a few officials to deal with the aftermath, and led 500 elite soldiers to the north. They marched at high speed on a starry night, killing many plots on the way and returned to the capital, where they took over the heavy responsibility from the hands of the Queen Mother.<
/p>
From then on, the prince supervised the country!
Use iron and blood to calm the floating hearts of the people in the court, and crush the vassal king's conspiracy with a critical force.
He mobilized his troops, appointed generals, agreed on a plan to attack the enemy, used new bows and crossbows, and defeated the invading enemies. He beat the Xiongnu to the ground and rushed to Mobei, where they did not even dare to return to their old nest.
At this point, the crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to covet it.
After the war, the Ministry of Revenue made a detailed calculation and found that the national treasury was actually quite sufficient, and the stolen money confiscated from the water transport made up a lot, which shows the huge amount of corruption in the water transport that has been suffering for many years.
From then on, the late emperor's health was not as good as before, and Yuchi Gong uncharacteristically restrained his sharpness. After waiting for the late emperor to get better, and having a secret talk with the late emperor for a long time, he suddenly retired from the court and lived in seclusion for a long time without being seen until the late emperor passed away.p>
Yuchi Gong came to the court to observe the government at the age of eleven. He rose to prominence at the age of fourteen or fifteen, showed his talents at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and then faded out of sight. He became emperor at the age of nineteen and less than twenty.
Folks don't know much about what happened during the prince's period. They only know that the prince suppressed his wife and his family, and suppressed them very severely.
Just like in the case of corruption in water transport, the corrupt officials killed included his prospective father-in-law’s family.
Yuchi Gong broke into it with his troops and horses, his whole body was filled with fear, and he ordered his prospective father-in-law's family to be captured. He showed no mercy and beheaded many of the culprits on the spot.
Naturally, the people hate corrupt officials, and what the prince has done deserves respect, but he is somewhat afraid in his heart.
The courtiers naturally know that today's emperor is not a vegetarian, and he is not as kind, courageous and skillful as the late emperor.
They did not dare to forget the iron-blooded tactics of the prince back then, which was like a murderous god. Therefore, Yuchi Gong's ascension to the throne was unprecedentedly smooth. Even though there was no heir for three years after he ascended the throne, they did not dare to comment.
It was during that turbulent period that Wu Dingbang was noticed by Yu Chigong. He was among the officials who completed the canal transport case and collected and transported grain and grass. He did things beautifully, so after Yuchi Gong ascended the throne three years ago, he recalled him
To the capital.
It was also during that period that Mrs. Wu's mother, Mrs. Zhou, passed away, and Mrs. Wu was unable to go to express her condolences and pick up her youngest daughter.
In the past three years, Yuchi Gong has been in power mainly focusing on cultivating his health and recuperating his health, and has not made any major changes. Now that he has discovered that some country's moths dared to take action during this critical period, how can he not be angry?
Yuchi Gong always believed that Yuchixu's death was not simple. Even if the cause of death was perfect, he still had doubts.
It’s just that I didn’t have enough time at the time. When I went back to investigate, I couldn’t find anything anymore. All the evidence that should be eliminated was eliminated.
He didn't give up, but he made little progress in the past three years.
Although his elder brother is weak in body and has disabled legs and feet, he is clever and clever. He has been low-key and unassuming since he was a child, focusing on the art of machine craftsmanship. In the eyes of the courtiers, he seems to be a prince who does not do his job properly. If no one mentions it, they forget that there is Yuchixu.
This is the eldest prince.
When the Huns were defeated, the new crossbow that Yuchi Gong used against all the opinions was the one Yuchixu sent to him with a reply.
The drawings were attached to the letter. Yuchixu was very happy when he talked about this crossbow. The new crossbow can fire ten arrows in a row, and its range has been greatly improved. It is now on par with bows and arrows, and it is much less laborious than bows and arrows.<
/p>
However, he was not satisfied with its power and said he would study it further.
When the last letter came back, Yuchi Xu was very excited. He told in the letter that he had an idea of ​​improvement. If he could make a crossbow, it would be accurate, powerful, and capable of shooting far. Even new soldiers could use it, and a crossbow could be trained in a short time.
A team of divine crossbows with powerful lethality, no one will dare to attack again in the future.
Unexpectedly, that was the last communication, and we were separated forever.
When Yuchigong learned the bad news, Yuchixu had passed away. A fire destroyed all his brother's hard work. Yuchigong did not see the improved crossbow in the end.
Everything happened by coincidence. Yu Chigong didn't believe it was a coincidence. Every time he thought of his brother, he felt unbearably sad.
Today he discovered that someone in the Ministry of War dared to commit fraud at that time, which made him furious.
Recalling the death of his brother, he was sad and painful. After approving the memorial, he felt really depressed and uncomfortable, so he went out for a walk in the evening. The sky became darker and darker, but Yuchi Gong's heart became colder and colder, and he did not want to go back. Finally, he walked to
The place where his brother accompanied him to train hard.
The pavilion in this small garden was built for him by his brother himself, saying that it would protect him from wind and rain.
In the darkness, when Yuchi Gong was reminiscing about the past, someone suddenly broke in and ran into his arms. She looked like a woman, with a delicate body.
Unfortunately, the woman hit him when he was in a bad mood.
At that time, Yuchi Gong's face turned cold. He was about to push the person away and punish him for the crime of collision. He wanted to punish the person severely.
