Chapter 474 Seeing the old minister's love of serving His Majesty for many years
Chapter 474
Two days later, Yu Wenshu also arrived at Jinyang Palace, but at this moment, the former most favored minister around the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty no longer had the unruly attitude of the past.
His face was filled with a look of extreme anger and even a bit of unspeakable fear.
He came on his own, because his two sons, Yuwen Wenji and Yuwen Zhiji, had been escorted to Jinyang Palace by Suona, the embroidered clothes envoy beside the emperor.
Even though he was the most favored minister among His Majesty, he was extremely angry and helpless when facing these embroidered messengers who showed no regard for any emotion at all.
What's more important is that these two bastard sons of his actually secretly sent people to find merchants in Taiyuan County while His Majesty was patrolling the northern border fortress, and secretly conducted salt and iron trade with the Turks.
This is really a death-defying rhythm. If His Majesty had not been besieged by the Turkic Shibi Khan and his army at Yanmen Pass.
So, even if His Majesty knew about this, for his own sake, the most he could do was give him a severe reprimand, a fine, and a demotion.
But the problem is, the experience of almost being strangled by Shibi Khan in Yanmen was like walking around the edge of hell, which made His Majesty's mood even more corrupt.
The secret report from Princess Yicheng mentioned that it was precisely because those merchants who were trading with the Turkic tribes mentioned the emperor's itinerary.
Regardless of whether it was because these merchants leaked His Majesty's whereabouts, Shibi Khan suddenly raised troops to the south.
As long as your majesty now believes that this is a fact, it will definitely be a fact. If this happens, the lives of not only the two bastard sons will be at risk.
Even if you are yourself, you will be in a miserable situation.
With a livid face, Yu Wenshu finally arrived at the outskirts of Taiyuan City. After thinking about it, he did not rush directly to Jinyang Palace to apologize.
Instead, he recruited a confidant and asked him to rush to Dongdu immediately to find Sanlang Yuwenshiji, and asked Yuwenshiji to ask his wife, His Majesty's most beloved Princess Nanyang, to come forward.
However, it is difficult to save the fire that is close by such distant water. Next, it is time for my own performance.
Whether you can find a chance to survive and keep those two bastard sons alive depends on you.
"You will quickly go and get some thorn strips, and then help me remove my armor and clothes."

"I regard you as my confidants, but what have you done?!" Yang Guang's hair and beard were all flaring at this moment, roaring like thunder.
At the foot of the steps in the palace, Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhiji, who were still as unruly and domineering as usual, were bowing down at the foot of the steps with fear.
The cold sweat was like rain, soaking through the clothes completely.
A group of ministers watched with cold eyes, sizing up the two self-sufficient and beloved sons of Yu Wenshu who were favored by the emperor. They were simply bastards who did all kinds of evil.
They were all secretly rejoicing in their misfortune, wishing that Yang Guang could just pull out the sword at his waist and cut these two cheaters in two cleanly.
"You actually disobeyed me, secretly colluded with the Turks, and engaged in the salt and iron trade that I strictly prohibit."
"He also leaked the whereabouts of my patrol in the northern frontier to the Turks, so that the thief Shibi had the opportunity to block me in Yanmen."
"Tell yourselves, why am I keeping you here?"
Yu Wenhua and his heart were extremely frightened at this moment, and he could still hear the fierce murderous intention gradually seeping from Yang Guang's eyes and voice under his rage.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I, I really didn't expect it to be like this. I just want to make some money..."
Yang Guang's hand was already on the sword inlaid with gold and jade at his waist, and his eyes became more and more ferocious.
"The money I gave you and your son are not enough? Are the fields not enough? Are there too few slaves?"
"Your Majesty, please take pity on me and others to accompany you and serve Your Majesty since childhood. For the sake of our father and son's undying loyalty to Your Majesty, please spare me and others..."
"Loyalty? Your father can be the judge of this. However, you two have ignored all my hard work and are worse than pigs and dogs."
With a cry, Yang Guang pulled out the sharp blade at his waist, and the sharp blade covered with beautiful patterns filled his body with coldness.
"Hurry up, come on, take two more steps, and then you'll be done with one stab. Brother Emperor, you have already grabbed the throat of fate, kill it quickly."
"Qian'er, what are you mumbling about?" The soft words of my father, Yang Ning, came from beside me.
Yang Qian, who was watching intently that Yang Guang was about to change his own destiny and luck, replied in a low voice without looking back.
"The child is watching the historical scenes of His Majesty changing his destiny."
"..." Yang Ning looked at her son with a dark face, his eyes focused and his expression nervous. He was completely confused as to what the hell this kid was mumbling about.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please spare my life." Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhiji also saw Yang Guang showing his fierceness and descending the steps with a knife. They were so frightened that they cried repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, General Yu Wenshu is shirtless and carrying thorns. He has come to plead guilty and has arrived outside the palace gate..."
"Yu Wenshu?" Yang Guang, who was about to raise the sword in his hand, looked at the two bastards who were wailing more and more loudly and even giving off a fishy smell.
He covered his nose in disgust and retreated. "Take these two damn bastards away first."
"Your Majesty, how should they deal with it?"
Eunuch Wang Zhong also had a cold face, staring at the two shameless bastards who were peeing and peeing with evil eyes, and asked Yang Guang in a low voice.
"Let's wait until I see Yu Wenshu before we talk..."
Yang Guang's gloomy eyes looked at Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhiji being pulled out of the hall, and he said impatiently.
#####
Yang Qian watched the two guys being dragged out, and saw several young eunuchs quickly sweeping away the dirt in the palace and lighting incense.
At this moment, Yang Qian really didn't know what to say.
Next, Yu Wenshu, who had gray beard and hair, bare his upper body and carried thorns on his back, knelt down in front of the steps.
He slapped himself dozens of times and even professed the death penalty. Please ask your majesty to punish the death penalty...
Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenshu with a gloomy face, but said nothing and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Although he has the power of the emperor, he no longer has the emperor's wrath.
The look of anticipation and eagerness on Yang Qian's face gradually faded away, and his heart became colder and colder.
"Yu Wenqing, please step aside first. I know your contribution very well, but I will never forgive those two damn bastards."
"I am old and have only three sons. Now, these two unfilial and rebellious sons have committed a heinous crime."
"I don't dare to intercede for them. I just ask Your Majesty to leave the corpses of those two disobedient sons intact..."
The emotional cry, coupled with the scattered white hair and beard, as well as the scars all over his body, also made Yang Guang feel compassionate.
He asked several eunuchs to help Yu Wenshu out of the hall, and then waved his hands indifferently to signal the ministers to leave.
Yang Qian and his father Yang Ning had just reached the entrance of the palace, but they were blocked by a young eunuch who was walking quickly.
