Chapter 2 Betrayal (Part 3) "General Li is indeed qualified for this position, but His Majesty has to make another decree and order someone to ensure his supply of food, grass and baggage!" Seeing that Yang Guang's mind had been persuaded by Pei Ju, he came to protect his son's energy.
Heng Heng added, "Lest anyone deduct military rations and enrich themselves on national affairs!"
"It's just that this way, I'm afraid Luo Yi will have another opportunity to take advantage of!" Before Yang Guang made the final decision, Yu Wenshiji also interjected in a hoarse voice.
This move was very inconsistent with his habits, and could easily be considered as deliberately causing trouble for Li Xu to protect his children. The others turned their heads in surprise, trying to deduce from Yuwen Shiji's eyes why he did this, but Yuwen Shiji just smiled bitterly.
A shrug as an answer to all the doubters
"Your Majesty can order Hebei Ambassador Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji to come to Boling and defend Luo Yi for General Li for the time being!" Feng Deyi cleverly advised Yang Guang.
"Then who will watch over Li Yangcang, and who will destroy Wang Bo?" Dugu Lin asked with a sneer. Feng Deyi is a grassroots with no position, and he can't tell the difference. The foundation of Li Xu is the six counties around Boling. If
The imperial court not only wanted him to serve, but also sent people to steal his foundation. It's strange that he is willing to fight the Wagang Army wholeheartedly!
"I will give an order to Dongdu, asking them to do their best to ensure the food and fodder for the soldiers and horses that suppress the bandits." Yang Guang glanced at Lai Huer, and his reply sounded weak. Without waiting for the other party to thank him, he glanced at Yuwen Shiji again, and then said
The weak voice added: "I only ordered General Li to inspect Henan Province and arrest the ambassador. The governor did not need to bring all the Fenyang troops to Henan. He left enough subordinates in Zhuojun and Shanggu.
Beware of Luo Yi!"
Lai Huer, Dugu Lin and others looked at each other and shook their heads. They knew that Yang Guang was worried that someone would support his troops near Dongdu, so he made a fuss about the inspection. But who was behind Pei Renji, Xiao Huaijing, Liu Changgong and Fang Er?
Without a big tree, how could Li Xu get everyone to follow his lead with just the empty title of arresting ambassador? By then, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to pass on the order, let alone coordinate the various troops to confront the Wagang Army.
Got it!
While he was indignant, he heard Yang Guang's order again: "General Yuwen, take the golden sword that I conquered from the south and send it to Hebei along with my decree. Go and tell the champion in person." He closed his eyes.
As if recalling his bravery back then, he said, "Go and tell the champion general that this sword is worn by the late emperor and me. I want him to take this sword to the governor of Henan and all the troops. Who dares to use this sword directly in violation of the law?"
Just cut it off with a knife!"
At first hearing this, all the civil and military ministers in front of the sick bed were stunned. For a moment, no one thought of stepping forward to receive the order. Yang Guang was too young and lacked prestige when he led the southern expedition. Therefore, the late emperor personally gave it to the army when he swore an oath.
Give him a golden sword, allowing him to exercise the power to kill all civil and military personnel in the army first and then report. Now Yang Guang actually gave this golden sword to Li Xu, which is equivalent to giving a military commander the power of two generations of emperors in the Sui Dynasty.
As long as Li Xu summons this sword when suppressing bandits, not only Pei, Liu and others will not have the courage to provoke him, but I am afraid that the entire civil and military officials in Henan Province will bow their heads in front of him.
"General Yuwen, Yuwen Hao!" Yang Guang waited for a long time, but when no one agreed, he shouted angrily.
"Old minister, I respect your order!" Seeing that he could not escape, the commander of the guards, Yu Wenhuo, had no choice but to bow down and accept the order. "Your Majesty, don't be too laborious. I will definitely complete the errands assigned by your Majesty!"
"This time your Yuwen family failed to steal the chicken, and instead stole a handful of rice!" Lai Huer looked at Yuwen Shiji, with a sneer on his lips.
Although Yang Guang did not completely trust Li Xu, the effect of a golden sword was far greater than that of tens of thousands of Fenyang troops. As long as Li Xu leveled Wagang Mountain as soon as possible, someone in the court would use a little more force to inspect the school.
Couldn't the two words be picked off easily?
As if he understood what Lai was thinking about protecting his children, Yuwen Shiji smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders, then without saying a word, he slowly retreated towards the door.
If one tiger general could save the entire Sui Dynasty, there would be no dynasties that passed away like clouds throughout the ages. Yu Wenshiji believed in Li Xu's talent, but he believed in his own judgment even more. Even if Li Xu was lucky enough to wipe out the Wagang Army, there would still be Fu.
Niushan, Taihang Mountain, and Wangwu Mountain, he tried his best like a fire-fighter. He was exhausted. All the firewood had been ignited. In the end, the fire-fighter could only be like the old general Zhang Xutuo, exhausted and buried in the sea of fire.
After all the civil and military officials retired, Yu Wenshiji did not go back to the court room to continue spending time. Instead, he ordered his servants to take the mount and sneak out of the palace quietly. His father was ill in bed, and his elder brother Huaji and younger brother Zhiji were both demoted to the throne.
As a slave, he is now responsible for everything in Yuwen's family. He has no time to relax from morning to night every day.
Sure enough, as soon as they turned onto Zhuque Street and before they even stepped into the stirrups, more than a dozen family members had already gathered around them, panting. Before Yu Wenshi could ask questions, the family members cried with red eyes: "Second Young Master, can you please leave the court?"
Sir, I have been waiting for you for an hour!"
"What's the matter? Tell me slowly!" Yu Wenshiji felt his heart tightening after hearing this. He tried his best to slow down his tone and asked. Since the family suffered a setback in Yanmen County last year, his father's health has become worse day by day. This spring, he was barely able to
I was able to go to the court and maintain the prestige of the Yuwen family, but now I can only lie at home and listen to him report the news in the court and the public.
For an old man who has been in power for half his life, being unable to go to court and participate in politics is tantamount to being deprived of all the joys of life. Therefore, Yu Wenshu's body is weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he is on the verge of running out of oil.
"The master had tea at noon today and was eager to listen to the Second Young Master's report on the court's movements. As a result, he waited for more than an hour and you didn't come back. The master felt anxious and wanted to get up and go for a walk. Several slaves came forward to help him, and then he supported him.
When I straightened up from the bed, I felt half of my body was gone!" Yu Wengao, an old man from the family, reported with tears streaming down his face.
"Then why don't you go and invite the doctor? What are you waiting for me to do?" Yu Wenshiji felt anxious after hearing this, and shouted loudly that the affairs of the state were as corrupt as a servant, and the affairs of the family were as chaotic as a mess. He couldn't help but feel anxious and angry.
"Please, several famous doctors in Jiangdu City refused to come again, saying that they were unable to save their lives. We went to ask the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor said that there was something going on in the palace and he did not dare to leave his post without authorization!" Yu Wengao cried and told his heart.
"When our master was in good health, which imperial doctor was not always available like a dog, but now they all have become more prestigious..."
"Don't talk about anything else. Take my jade pendant and go to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor!" Yu Wenshi and Duotou gave the family a slap in the face, interrupting the other party's cry. "Go to the Imperial Hospital, take my jade pendant and wait for a doctor."
Call the imperial physician Zhang Liangzhong and he won’t be available right away, but other than him, don’t invite any other imperial physicians!”
"Alas, alas!" Yuwen Gao, who was stunned, agreed repeatedly, took Yu Wenshi and the jade pendant he took off from his waist, ran out for a few steps, turned around again, and asked hesitantly, "Second Young Master, I am sure,
Does the surname have to be Zhang? The master’s illness..."
"If you want to go, just go, don't ask questions!" Yu Wenshi and Tie Tie scolded him with a livid face. He remembered that the imperial doctor who treated Yang Guang today was Zhang Liangzhong. His medical skills were not the best in the imperial hospital, but at the moment
The Yuwen family also needs more than just a doctor who can treat patients...
The reality developed just as he expected. It was only at midnight that Zhang Liangzhong found time to rush to Yuwen's house and check Yuwenshu's pulse.
It's a deficiency fire attacking the heart. It's not a big problem. As long as you keep calm and take a few soothing and refreshing medicines, you can recover. However, this medicine is a bit slow to take effect and it will take some time. So please don't be anxious and take your time to nurse yourself back to health.
…”
"Wuwu, lulu, wuwu..." Yu Wenshu tried hard to open his mouth, but couldn't make a sound that could be heard clearly. After struggling several times, he closed his mouth helplessly and let saliva and tears flow down alternately.
"Master, please don't be anxious. I have seen many such diseases and they were cured slowly. Just take care and it will be fine!" Zhang Liangzhong saw that he could not deceive Yu Wenshu. He was so anxious that he was sweating and stammering.
comfort
"Forget it, please do your best and write out the prescription first, and leave the rest to me!" Yu Wenshiji sighed and ordered in a low voice.
As if Zhang Liangzhong had been granted amnesty, he quickly got up and went outside to prescribe medicine. Fang Yuwen Shiji walked to the bedside, wiped the pillow for his father, and then put his hand on his father's forehead, using his own body temperature to warm the body in front of him that had no signs of life.
After receiving his son's concern, Yu Wenshu tried his best to open his eyes again. He was still speechless, but the eagerness in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal with me in the court today. It's just that His Majesty passed out twice in the study!" Yu Wenshiji slowly reported in an extremely calm tone.
In an instant, two strong rays of light lit up from Yu Wenshu's eyes. Only at this moment, his fire of life became intense. "Woo, lulu, woo..." He tried to express like a mute.
My own thoughts, the limbs on the left side were moving wildly, but the limbs on the right side were as limp as mud.
"I know, I will try my best to fight for my elder brother and Zhiji. It is estimated that in these two days, His Majesty will know your situation and he will come to see you. You must hold on!" Yuwen Shiji felt the message from his father's eyes.
Under the pressure of the past, he swore firmly that "the doctor who will treat you today is the same doctor who treated your Majesty." He lowered his voice as low as possible and leaned into his father's ear and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the look in Yu Wenshu's eyes changed from anxious to relieved. There was no expression on his face, but there was an obvious smile in his eyes. He understood the full meaning of his son's words, and was deeply proud of it.
Only the son of the Yuwen family can know how to use every opportunity to seek benefits for his family. Shiji has already done it. Yuwenshu can rest assured that he will hand over this family to him.
