Chapter 4 Qiancheng (No. 5 Middle School) Yang Guang was sitting behind the imperial court, with the Hengdao he supervised during the Southern Expedition in front of him. No longer talking, he was still the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He still remembered that he commanded more than 400,000 troops to cross the border.
The memory of the glory of Dajiang will always belong to him. No one can take it away, not even disease and aging. Under the beating candlelight, the hair on his temples can be seen clearly with the color of autumn frost, mixed with astringent and black hair.
between, fragile and desperate
The civil and military officials who stayed in the court did not dare to show their anger. Anyone who displeased the emperor at this time would definitely die without a burial place. Although Yang Guang rarely killed his ministers, it did not mean that he would be merciful to those who betrayed him.
Whether to kill one person as a warning to others or to exterminate the nine tribes, some people secretly wonder in their hearts. Occasionally they raise their heads and look at Yuwenshu and his son with pity.
That's right, among the ministers, the only ones who had the opportunity and the courage to steal military rations to the Turks were Yuwen, Pei, Yu, etc. Let's talk about a few of them. It is possible that these families colluded with each other for this. Other civil and military officials either had no chance to approach the city gate.
, either he didn’t have the chance to get close to the official warehouse, and even if he wanted to betray the country, he was not qualified. Combined with Yu Wenshu’s abnormal behavior after hearing the news about the Turks’ withdrawal, the identity of the criminal was already revealed.
Those gazes were like countless long sticks, piercing Yu Wenshi and causing wounds all over his body. He turned his head and glanced at his father, and found that the old man who usually spoke in the court, his beard, shoulders, arms, and the back of his hands were trembling. He was already a little nervous.
It's cold, especially at dawn. The night wind that refuses to recede blows through the screen window, sending chills down people's spines. But Yu Wenshu is sweating, and the roots of his hair, the tips of his eyebrows, and the ends of his beard are like thin beads of sweat like autumn dew.
It usually condenses into a thick layer
Yu Wenshiji knows who did the bad things. After several years of family efforts, his elder brother Yu Wenhuaji is now the deputy commander of the Chinese Army. His younger brother Yu Wenshiji has joined the army as Sicang and taken over the defense of Yanmen City.
With the infinite trust of our brothers, Yu Wenshiji has never inspected the east gate controlled by the emperor's imperial camp.
What should he do? Yu Wenshiji, who is full of scheming, is so anxious that his ears are burning. A quarter of an hour ago, he was worried about Li Xu's future. A quarter of an hour later, he has to watch his family being doomed. From small to large, he has to watch.
The memories left to him by the Yuwen family were not very pleasant, but after all, they were his family, his roots, and the source of his bloodline inheritance!
"Your Majesty -" After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Shiji begged Yang Guang in a trembling voice that there was another way for the family to escape this disaster. The only way he felt was like ten thousand steel knives piercing his heart.
, but had to pretend to be pious
"Is there anything you can do, Prince Consort?" Yang Guang pulled the horizontal sword out of its sheath, blew on the sharp blade, and then asked with a sneer.
"Please come out of the palace according to the order and help Master Fan Zigai stabilize the morale of the army. No matter who steals and sells military rations, I will arrest him and bring him to justice. I will never protect him!" Yu Wenshiji sighed in his heart and answered bravely that he knew Yang Guang
He won't kill himself. After all, he is a relative of Weng's son-in-law. Even if the entire Yuwen family is destroyed, Yang Guang will be spared for the sake of the princess.
"You, haha, my virtuous son-in-law is so anxious to help me take care of my worries, are you absolutely sure?" Yang Guang put the horizontal sword back into its sheath with a "swish" sound, and sneered. The reason why he ordered the palace door to be closed was to guard against the Yuwen family taking desperate risks.
, the main force in the city is the Xiongwu Camp. If Yu Wenshiji goes out and calls out, with the military power in the hands of his two brothers and the influence of the family, he will definitely cause a big chaos.
Leading troops in battles, Yang Guang admits that he has become more and more unfamiliar with age, but many people have to learn a little bit from him about the ability to suddenly attack and kill people. Whether it is Yang Su back then or Yu Wenshu now, as long as
As long as they don't die, they won't be able to make trouble!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will not betray your Majesty's trust!" Before Yang Guang could say more hurtful words, Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu suddenly came out of the queue, "Plop!" and fell to his knees under Dan Xi with a "plop!"
"Your Majesty, I swear to him that I will never be involved in stealing and selling military rations. This matter started before my troops entered the city. If I colluded with foreign invaders, it would be ten times easier to escape the siege!" When Yu Wenshi saw his old father kneeling down, he said
He also knelt down straight and defended loudly
This sentence was just right. It not only got rid of his own suspicion, but also reminded Yang Guang of who risked his life and death to break into the siege and share the difficulties with him. "Get up, Prince Consort, I have never doubted you!" With a bit of guilt, Yang Guang
Guang sighed and said, "I have always known the consort's loyalty to me, but I have sent Fan Shangshu to take over the defense. The consort is waiting for news about him!"
"Your Majesty, that Xiongwu camp was brought out by Shiji. Fan Shangshu's nature is like a blazing fire. There are no soldiers in the general's hands. If the two of them do not handle it properly, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the soldiers. As for your Majesty's central army, Shiji has gone.
, you can also shed less blood, and you can find out those who are causing harm to the country! I have followed your Majesty for half my life. If your Majesty doubts me, even if you push me out and behead him, it will be thunder and rain. It is all for your kindness. I dare not not accept it, but just in case.
Something happened in the Xiongwu camp, and the reputations of Yuwen and his son will be ruined. Then Your Majesty will try to be more merciful, and my father and son will have no shame to live..." Yuwenshu heard the looseness of Yang Guang's tone of voice, and nodded with his head, "dong dong" without stopping.
The Tutong army could return immediately, and Li Zhongjian's influence in Xiongwu Camp was no less than that of his second son Shiji. In any case, the Yuwen family did not have the capital to fall out with the court at the moment, so he could only rely on the years of friendship between the emperor and his ministers.
Come to seek a way out for your family
A moment later, Yu Wenshu saw Xueyu Scholar and his distressed old father on his forehead. He stretched out his hand to help, but was pushed away by his father. "Your Majesty, my loyalty to Your Majesty will be seen day by day." Yu Wenshu cried while saying,
Continuing to kowtow caused Yu Wenshiji to feel a burst of sadness in his heart, with tears streaming down his face.
Seeing Yuwen's father and son hugging each other and crying, Yang Guang couldn't hold on any longer. He calculated that Lai Hu'er had been out of the city for a while, so he decided to take another risk and said, "Get up, father and son, and I will agree to Shiji's request!"
If you, father and son, wanted to be disloyal to me, you should have taken action long ago, why delay until today? You are all those ignorant beasts who have lost sight of me as the emperor when they saw the money!"
"Old minister, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness, why don't you hurry up and eliminate the traitor for your majesty!" Yu Wenshu escaped from death and lay on the ground to thank him.
"I thank your Majesty for your trust!" Yuwen Shiji kowtowed again, then stood up and walked quickly to the palace gate. With Yang Guang's acquiescence, the guards of the Forbidden Palace opened the door a small crack and let Yuwen Shiji out.
"Alas!" The moment the palace door closed, someone let out a long sigh in his heart.
