Chapter 4 Qiancheng (Part 7) Seeing Yu Wenshu fainted, Yang Guang quickly ordered someone to send the imperial doctor to him. The two monarchs and ministers had always been in love. Ever since Yang Guang had not replaced his brother as the prince, Yu Wenshu had been beside him.
The late emperor Yang Jian was fond of frugality, so the salaries he provided to his children and grandchildren were very meager. Only with Yu Wenshu's private funding did Yang Guang have the financial resources to win over courtiers and make friends with famous people. With the concerted efforts of everyone inside and outside, he defeated the crown prince Yang Yong.
Finally got his wish and finally ascended the throne
After becoming emperors and ministers, the friendship between Yuwenshu and Yang Guang has never diminished. Several old ministers who had served the dragon were either favored and arrogant, or they were self-sufficient, and they were all alienated from Yang Guang. Only Yuwenshu was still like Yang Guang.
Just like before he became the emperor, he entered the palace without any scruples and talked with him all over the world. If Yu Wenshu could get hold of the rare treasures, he would definitely be presented with the same delicacies that Yu Wenshu liked to eat within three days.
It appeared on Yang Guang’s dining table ten times more exquisitely.
This is a fate that has lasted for decades. It has transcended the relationship between monarch and minister, and they are brothers. Therefore, Yang Guang did not want to see Yu Wenshu die in front of him anyway. As for the national laws and the opinions of the ministers, they were all thrown out of the sky for a while.
A moment later, the imperial doctor rushed over and ordered Yuwen Shiji to lift his father's head higher, and then pierced Yuwenshu's middle with a silver needle. "My son--!" Yuwenshu howled and faintly woke up.
"We, our father and son got together today!"
Two lines of muddy old tears flowed down Yu Wenshu's eyes, leaving two white marks on his wrinkled old face. He couldn't spare his hands to wipe them. The expression on his face looked like crying, but also like laughing or maybe...
Between the wry smile, there is a strangeness that is hard to watch
The imperial doctor shook his head, pulled out the silver needle from Yuwenshu's upper lip, and bowed to Yang Guang to apologize, saying that he could not do more. Then the ministers discovered that Yuwenshu could no longer move his arms. Yang Guang trusted him most.
Originally, one face was stiff, but this time the other face simply lost consciousness and was held in Yu Wenshiji's arms, with glistening saliva dripping down along with tears.
"Shiji, please wipe it for father. We can't do it. It's rude to you!" After crying a few times, Yu Wenshu, who seemed to have had all his life taken away, trembled his lips and gave vague instructions.
"I know!" Yuwen Shiji wiped away his tears first, then lifted up a corner of his robe to wipe his father's face. The father and son looked at each other with tears in their hearts, filled with infinite sadness.
That robe was worn by Yuwenshi and the Turks in the city head area. They have not changed it since they led the troops into the city to escort them. The robe was stained with blood. I don’t know whether the blood came from the enemy or from Yuwenshi and himself.
As soon as his saliva was moistened, it immediately became transparent, and the dried blood stains melted again, making the old man's beard and face blush.
"Shiji, help me up, let's thank His Majesty for your magnanimity!" Yu Wenshu couldn't see the color on his face, sighed, and whispered, "Your brother and the third child will definitely not be able to survive. The emperor is willing to show mercy and not implicate us."
The rest of the Yuwen family are already very lucky to have a father in misfortune. I don’t dare to ask for anything more. I just hope that you will have a safe life. Don’t, don’t cut off the incense of our Yuwen family!”
After saying that, tears and saliva flowed down alternately
Yang Guang, who was standing behind the case, listened to every word that Yuwen said. He couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but also thought that he had ordered Yu Wenhua and his brothers to be pushed out of the house and beheaded. These words of comfort were
I can't say it anymore
After calming down from his anger, Yang Guang understood in his heart that Yu Wenhua and his two brothers were definitely not the real masterminds of stealing and selling military rations. Killing them was just a gesture to the ministers.
Pei Yun, a historian, said that during the decisive battle between Emperor Wu of Wei and Yuan Shao, countless advisers communicated with the enemy privately. The reason why Wei Wu burned all the captured manuscripts was not because he was generous, but because he had to face reality.
The reality in front of us is that smart ministers all know how to leave a way out for themselves. The so-called loyalty and the so-called courtesy of monarchs and ministers are just deceiving fools. They are all gamblers. For the sake of their own future, both sides gambled and changed the emperor.
However, they kowtow to another person, and they still say the same thing, and their subordinates still do the same thing. No matter who is on the throne, even if it is a Turk who they don't want to look at.
Taking a long breath, Yang Guang sat down heavily, feeling uninterested in his identity. At this moment, there was another noise outside the palace gate and a cold wind blowing in his face. The Minister of Internal Affairs
Xiao Yu stepped inside
"Your Majesty, five generals including General Qu Tutong of Zuo Xiaowei, General Dugu Lin of Auxiliary State, General Yin Shishi of Zuo Xiaowei, General Li Xu of Wu Benlang, and General Yao Junsu of Yingshilang defeated the Turks last night and beheaded four people.
It's a wonder that the seizure of oxen and carriages is useless. At present, soldiers from all walks of life have been ordered to prepare their troops and are waiting for His Majesty's holy instructions outside the city!" Xiao Yu, who was full of joy, pretended not to see the pitiful appearance of Yu Wenshu and his son, and reported in a loud voice.
In an instant, all the melancholy on Yang Guang's face turned into joy. The soldiers who returned in time added a layer of security to his palace, so that he no longer had to worry about more troubles caused by improper handling of Yu Wenhua and his brothers.
, he even forgot who a few hours ago secretly complained that the generals did not care about him as the emperor, and refused to enter the city to escort them and "passively avoid fighting" on the outside.
"What are you doing with so much red tape? Let them bring troops into the city. General, you and Fan Shangshu go out to help settle the soldiers Xiao Qing. Let several of my generals and warriors under my command come into the palace to talk about Yu Wenshiji. You and your son don't do it either.
Keep kneeling and find someone to help the old general go down to rest first. As for the debt between our monarch and his ministers, we will settle it slowly another day!" Yang Guang slapped the imperial case with his palm and issued a series of orders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua, and their son kowtowed heavily, and then helped each other stand up. The change was so sudden that they and their son could not believe their ears. It was not until they took five or six steps that they suddenly understood.
He turned around and verified in an unbelievable tone: "Your Majesty, brothers Huaji (brother) and Zhiji...?"
"Let's record the death penalty for now. Wait for a hundred years for the old general to hold them accountable. From now on, they will no longer be your sons. They will be deprived of all honors and will be regarded as slaves of the Yuwen family, pigs and dogs!" Yang Guang sighed again and shook his head.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty, ah-ah!" Yu Wenshu fell to the ground again, wailing loudly. The two sons finally saved their lives. As for fame and wealth, they are all external things. As long as the Yuwen family does not fall, Huaji and Zhiji
The two brothers are not worried about not having a chance to make a comeback.
"Okay, okay, don't cry either. I don't want to see you being pissed off by two beasts today, and I don't want you to have a white-haired man give a black-haired man to you!" Yang Guang wiped the corners of his eyes and announced, "Your
After the family business is over, let Shiji take over and take the two little beasts back and discipline them well, so they don’t cause any more trouble for me!"
Is this okay? The eyes of the civil and military officials almost fell to the ground. For a crime that could confiscate their families and exterminate their clans, big things were reduced to trivial matters, and trivial things were reduced to nothing. In the end, no one was even held accountable for their crimes! "What a pity, Xiongwuying."
Those loyal and brave soldiers!" Some people sighed in their hearts, some secretly shook their heads, and some secretly made decisions about their future.
Yu Wenhua, He Zhi and his two brothers were already in front of the palace. The guards had their hair and shirts removed, and they were waiting for Yang Guang's order to operate. Suddenly, someone heard a decree ordering the two death row prisoners to be released. All the guards
Jaw-dropping
"Your Majesty, the brothers from the Xiongwu Camp risked their lives to steal books and expose this shocking case. Your Majesty, my loyal and honorable minister, please reward the living to appease the souls of the deceased in heaven!" Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town palace, quickly ran back to the Golden Palace and started playing loudly.
He did not dare to protest Yang Guang's unfair treatment, so he had to ask the other party to look at the blood of loyal people before making the final decision.
Yang Guang was slightly stunned when he was blocked, and the expression on his face instantly became a little embarrassed. "General Yang, what is the name of the strong man you rescued? If you don't mention it, I have really forgotten about him like this. Please pass on the order."
, and asked him to report the names of the martyrs who went to the imperial camp to steal the elders to the Ministry of War. All survivors would be promoted to one rank, and the war dead would be rewarded with ten coins.
Rong Xiaowei, he will be paid regularly according to his military position in the countryside."
"They all died at the hands of Yu Wenhua and his brothers!" Yang Wenxuan clasped his fists on his chest and insisted.
"Have I not already punished Yu Wenhua and the two brothers? Today is a good day for the army to triumph. I don't want to kill more people!" Yang Guang was a little impatient and said with a serious face, "Besides, didn't they also kill Yuying?
Are you a person? Even if the two are offset, it will be clear!"
"Your Majesty, how can the life of a loyal and upright person be compared with that of a treacherous person!" Yang Wenxuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood and protested loudly. Thinking that the person he was guarding every day was such a fool who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, he couldn't help but feel a wave of pain in his heart.
He turned around to look at the civil and military personnel, and found that the eyes of countless people were full of despair.
"You, what do you want from me? Do you want me to go back on my word again and again?" Yang Guang started to get angry and shouted in a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, my brother was at fault in this matter, and the deceased were all soldiers and brothers in the camp. Therefore, the soldiers are willing to wear sackcloth and pay filial piety, and send the coffins of several warriors out of the city with the gift of a junior. The family members are willing to pay for the placement.
The men, women, old and young in the family, all the scholars and scholars will take care of them to the end." When Yuwen Shiji saw that things were about to get tense again, he quickly stepped forward to mediate between the two parties.
Such a result is already the greatest benefit that Yang Wenxuan can obtain for the living and the dead. "It's a pity that a few warriors did not die at the hands of the Turks!" He sighed longly, and then clasped his fists towards Yang Guang again, "My lord,
I was reckless for a moment and lost my manners before you. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"I don't want to punish anyone today!" Yang Guang waved his hand and emphasized again
