Chapter 2 Betrayal (No. 3 Middle School) With the spread of the word by some thoughtful people, in less than two days, the disrespectful behavior of Yu Wenshi and the same imperial doctor who asked His Majesty to treat his father to treat his father reached the ears of Yang Guang and ordered it to be spread.
To the great disappointment of the reporter, after Yang Guang received the news, instead of being angry, he immediately summoned the imperial physician Zhang Liangzhong to inquire about Yu Wenshu's condition.
Knowing that his veteran minister's time was running out, Yang Guang ignored the dissuasion of his ministers, struggled to jump off the bed, ordered his guards to prepare the car, and went straight to the residence of Xu Guogong Yuwenshu. Before he could step into the door of Yuwen's house, Shiji had already
He took the whole family and knelt down to greet him.
"Your Majesty is so kind, and the Yuwen family will never forget it!" Yuwen Shiji, the temporary head of the family, stopped the car and kowtowed while shouting with sobs.
"You traitor, General Yuwen is so ill, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Yang Guang was helped out of the carriage by his ministers and asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please don't blame Shi Shi and Grandpa. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be worried and won't allow us to disclose his condition to the outside world!" Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhihe, who were dressed in servant clothes, knelt behind Shi Shi and Yu Wen.
, kowtow repeatedly,
"Oh, this Old General Yuwen! If he doesn't tell me, I will feel better!" Yang Guang no longer cared about the identities of Hua and Zhihe, he paused his feet and sighed, "Old General Yuwen is here.
Where, take me to see him quickly!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! I have always said that I want to see Your Majesty again, but now he can't get out of bed, otherwise, he will definitely come out to greet you in person!" Yu Wenshiji wiped his tears and answered very politely.
"How long have you been talking to me about this!" Yang Guang threw away the two ministers who were supporting him, stretched out his hand to lift Yuwen Shiji from the ground, "You lead the way, don't delay me, I also miss the old general Yuwen.
Very!" When he mentioned the emotional point, his eye circles turned red.
This performance is by no means artificial. The friendship between him and Yu Wenshu can be traced back to more than 20 years ago. When Yang Guang was the king of Jin at that time, in order to please the late emperor, he practiced frugality in his own home and did not eat more than two dishes per meal.
The clothes he wore and the shoes and socks on his feet were all sewn by his wife. Every time he received a reward from the palace, he spent most of it on buying books and the other half on socializing with literati. After careful calculation, he spent the real money on the Jin Palace.
The expenses are actually less than one-tenth of that of Prince Yang Yong’s mansion.
Such simple behavior indeed won him the late emperor's appreciation and reputation as a virtuous man. However, Yang Guang never saved the expense of buying palace spies and interacting with the children of aristocratic families in private. He learned that Yang Su liked the calligraphy of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He actually spent more than 20,000 guan of copper coins to buy it from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River and privately sent it to Yang Su's house as a birthday gift. In order to please the prime minister Gao Ying at the time, he sent his subordinates to search everywhere and spent two years to find "Sun Bin".
Most of the "Art of War" was transcribed in his own handwriting and handed over to the other party. The expenses incurred in interacting with military generals such as Shi Wansui and He Ruobi were even more huge. These expenses can be described as money flowing like water. Of course, it cannot be measured from Yang Guang's
The salary was tight, all thanks to Yuwenshu's secret management of some industries and the full support of the Yuwen family. In order to collect enough money for Yang Guang to make friends with civil and military officials, Yuwenshu even risked his own destruction and risked being impeached by the officials.
Taking bribes profusely
Therefore, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he wished he could share the country with Yuwenshu. For more than ten years, other ministers who had made great achievements were either killed or fell out of favor. But Yuwenshu's official career was never troubled, no matter whether he was defeated in the Eastern Expedition or not.
, whether the descendants steal and sell military rations, the fault of plundering the family and annihilating the clan on others has become a trivial matter here in Yuwenshu!
When Yuwen Wenshiji and Yuwenzhiji saw that their plan had succeeded, they immediately rushed to the door of their house and lifted the curtain for Yang Guang in advance to lead the way. As the head of the family, Yuwenshiji was far more stable than his elder brothers, and once again led the whole family to thank him.
, he helped Yang Guang up as his consort, and the two men comforted each other and entered.
When he learned that Yang Guang came to see him, Yu Wenshu's ashen face immediately turned red. "Woo, lulu, uh uh..." He struggled hard and tried to get out of bed and kowtow to Yang Guang, but he couldn't get up after all.
We communicated while sobbing, drooling and pulling a long white line down our beard.
"Yuwen Aiqing, General Yuwen, Botong, don't move, I don't want you to move!" Seeing this, Yang Guang rushed forward quickly and held Yuwenshu down. Because he was walking too fast, he felt a wave of pain.
I was so dizzy that I almost fell down next to Yuwen Shu.
"Uh, uh, uh...!" Yu Wenshu gently tapped his forehead with his only movable arm as a salute to Yang Guang.
"My grandpa wants to say that your majesty has been so kind to the Yuwen family, and it will be difficult for him to repay it even if he wears a grass ring in the next life!" Yuwen Zhiji, who is good at flattering, threw himself beside the bed and kowtowed to Yang Guang repeatedly.
"Uh, uh, uh...!" Yu Wenshu shook his arms, pointed at Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Shiji with his fingers that could not be brought together or flexed or stretched, and then pointed at Yang Guang's feet, constantly signaling to Hua and Heshi
Ji's two brothers obeyed their father's call and walked to Zhiji's side. They both knelt down and said: "The Yuwen family has received such great kindness from Your Majesty. I will break my body into pieces to repay my father's inability to get up. My two brothers take my father's place and thank Your Majesty!"
Seeing that his sons had fulfilled their wishes for him, Yu Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief. He tapped himself with five stiff fingers, then touched Yang Guang tremblingly, then pressed his big dry hands on his chest and acted like a monarch and his ministers.
The heart-to-heart gesture no longer showed anxiety in his eyes, but showed a bit of relief.
"I know you have something in your heart, and I know you will not let me down! I have been in a bad mood recently, so I didn't bother to leave the palace to see you. Bo Tong, don't be disappointed and take good care of yourself. When you recover, I will still be waiting for you to lead the army.
Go to war and wipe out the evil thieves in the world for me!" Yang Guang wiped his tears with his sleeves and called out Yu Wenshu's words of comfort.
Seeing Yang Guang crying, Yu Wenshu shook his head vigorously on the hospital bed, "Uh, uh, uh..." He shouted in a low voice, trying to comfort Yang Guang not to be sad, but there were big tears rolling out in strings in his own eyes.
People have known each other for decades, and now one is dying and the other is still lingering. This situation is so sad and sad.
Yu Wenhua and his three brothers, who were kneeling beside the bed, had already burst into tears. "My grandpa said that the most regretful thing in his life was that he failed to defeat Goguryeo for His Majesty. Later, he became a semi-invalid person. Even if he wanted to lead the army, he would not dare to humiliate him."
The Sui army is so powerful!" Yu Wenshiji reported while wiping his tears.
"I know that when Old General Yuwen recovers from his illness, I will immediately raise an army that will overwhelm the country and hand it over to Old General Yuwen to wash away his shame!" Yang Guang promised loudly with red eyes.
"Uh, uh, uh..." Yuwenshu heard Yang Guang's promise, and the half of his limbs that could still move kept flexing and stretching. His face could not express any emotion, but his eyes were full of smiles. Yang Guang knew that it was his promise.
The friend was happy, wiped away all the tears with his strength, and said with a smile, "Botong, don't be impatient, I will definitely do what I promised you. If you have any other wishes, let's talk about it together today. I will never shirk if I can do it!"
"
Hearing this, the smile in Yuwenshu's eyes grew stronger. He covered his face with his stiff palms, then closed his eyes to show that he had no regrets in this life. After a moment, he opened his eyes again, and looked at Yang Guang reluctantly.
Then he looked at his three sons kneeling on the bedside and sighed softly.
"I know, I know!" Yang Guang is worthy of being Yu Wenshu's close friend, and he immediately guessed the other person's thoughts from his eyes. Among the three sons, Yu Wenshu's favorite is the eldest son Huaji, and he has been cultivating him as the head of the family. But last year
The mistakes made by this son during the siege of Yanmen were too great, so an angry Yang Guang demoted him from the position of heir to the Yuwen family to a domestic slave. Now that nearly a year has passed, Yang Guang's anger has long since subsided.
No matter how despicable Yu Wenhua and Zhihe’s brothers are, there is certainly no reason not to be satisfied with his old friend’s dying wish.
Hearing Yang Guang's words, Yu Wenshu's eyes were filled with heat, as if all his life had returned to his body. His arms suddenly became much more flexible, and he quickly stretched them out, pointing at Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji, gesturing towards them.
Yang Guang thanked him, "Uh, uh, uh..." He waved his arms, yelled and twisted his body around, almost rolling off the bed to the ground.
"Don't move, don't move!" Yang Guang knew that Yuwenshu's state was a reflection of his past, so he pressed his shoulders hard, then turned to Yuwen Wenji and Yuwen Zhiji and shouted: "You two idiots, I
Today, for the sake of Botong's face, I will forgive your sins and continue to serve in the imperial court from tomorrow on. I will appoint you as General Youtunwei. I will give you one year. You must retrain an elite army for me to fight against the enemy.
I will serve as a young eunuch and assist Pei Ju in taking charge of Jiangdu's supplies. As for who of you Yuwen clan will inherit the family business in the future, it will be arranged according to Botong's wish, I will not interfere!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhihe were overjoyed. They cried and kowtowed their noses. Their tears and dust were mixed together, making their faces dirty.
"You two are not living up to expectations! Alas!" Yang Guang sighed and shook his head, as if the two of them were his nephews. Even if they had, the uncle could not bear to be harshly criticized.
Looking back, he looked at Yu Wenshu again and found a strange smile on his old friend's face that had been expressionless for many years, and his eyes had become stiff.
In the autumn and tenth month of the twelfth year of Daye, Yang Guang, the deceased of Xu Guogong Yuwenshu, kept vigil for him for half a day, and posthumously awarded him the title of Great Situ, Shangshu Ling. The prefects of ten counties gave him forty swords and chariots, and the posthumous title "Gong" was preached at the front and rear.
Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, offered sacrifices to Yitailao, and Feng Deyi, the secretary and supervisor, guarded the funeral.
In the same month, the Poyang thief commander Cao Shiqi called himself King Yuanxing, established Yuanshixing, and captured Yuzhang County.
