Yu Wenyu's reputation in the court and among the people is getting higher and higher. Although Yu Wenhu still holds military power, if Yu Wenyu continues to be popular, Yu Wenhu will have to hand over the military power due to pressure.
, this is the scene that Yuwen Hu least wants to see. He wants to control the government like his uncle Yuwentai and become the actual controller of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
According to historical records, there was a chef named Li An who was very good at cooking and was favored by Yu Wenhu, so he was promoted to the position of a doctor under the Ministry of Food.
The word "Dafu" under the Ministry of Dining must be related to the kitchen. But there is a "down" and a "doctor". It should be a small official. Put it in the whole court, under the Ministry of Dining.
The doctor is indeed not a high official, but when placed in the kitchen, it is still a big official position.
However, during the Yu Wenhu period, the official position of the junior high official in the dining department was called the junior high official in the dining department. He assisted the senior high official in the dining department to take charge of the emperor's dietary affairs and was the second-in-command of the dining department. In 573, when Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyong reigned, the junior high official in the dining department was dismissed.
The doctor under the Ministry of Food became a senior official, and was called the doctor under the Ministry of Food. In the Sui Dynasty, this official position was dismissed. In the Tang Dynasty, when Linghu Defen and others wrote "Book of Zhou", Li An's official position was "Dafu under the Ministry of Food", not "Dafu under the Ministry of Food".
"Subordinate doctor", perhaps because it was not easy to search for information at that time, Linghu Defen and others could not find the history of this official position. Then, it is possible that Li An was not the deputy minister of the Ministry of Food, but the senior official - the doctor of the Ministry of Food.
Come to think of it, it would be easy to win Yu Wenhu's favor and become the chief of the Food Department. If Yu Wenhu had the intention to place a chess piece, it would be even less likely to be placed in the somewhat restricted position of deputy minister.
Li An is the person in charge of the food department, and in the food department, he knows everything. Therefore, Yu Wenhu asked Li An to poison Yu Wenyu's food. It can be said that he did it easily. From this, it can also be seen that Yu Wenyu's prestige in the court has already
It's not like Yu Wenhu killed Yu Wenjue by killing him whenever he wanted. He could only use poisoning to get rid of him secretly.
After Yu Wenyu ate poisonous food, he did not die immediately, but showed symptoms of illness. Of course, he had to be sent to the imperial physician for treatment.
After checking the pulse, the imperial doctor was shocked and wished that time could repeat itself. He would never come to see a doctor.
Yu Wenyu noticed something was wrong with the imperial doctor and asked with difficulty:
"What's going on? Just say so."
Cold sweat broke out on the imperial doctor's forehead:
Speak out? Do I dare to speak out? Apart from the man in the court, who else dares to attack the emperor?
The imperial doctor was in a dilemma. Either he said it or not, he would die! With trembling hands, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly.
After thinking for a while I said:
"I wonder if the Emperor had eaten or drank anything before the onset of the illness?"
Although the imperial doctor didn't say it clearly, Yu Wenyu already understood.
It is impossible for the emperor to eat spoiled food, and it is impossible for the emperor to get sick due to food spoilage. Then, the only possibility is poisoning.
Yu Wenyu let out a long sigh and waved weakly to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor bowed deeply to Yu Wenyu before leaving with the medicine box on his back.
Yu Wenyu was lying on the bed, looking at the curtains on the bed in a daze. He still had many ambitions that he had not yet realized, but he left at such a young age.
After a period of overwhelming negative emotions, he quickly calmed down:
There is still something I can do, and I can’t let Yu Wenhu continue to be so arrogant!
He summoned his younger brother Yu Wenyong into the palace and sent an order to quickly summon the black-faced Master Zhuo and his entourage back. He wanted to see Master Zhuo.
After Yu Wenyong accepted the call, he hurriedly entered the palace. When he arrived at Yu Wenyu's bedroom, he saw the gray-faced Yu Wenyu and immediately broke out in a cold sweat:
"Why is the emperor so sick?"
Yu Wenyu waved his hand and told everyone else to retreat. There were only two brothers in the palace. Yu Wenyu smiled bitterly:
"Sick? No, I was poisoned."
Yu Wenyong was stunned:
"Poisoned?" He immediately understood and said angrily, "It's him! It's him, right! How did this bastard do it?!"
Yu Wenyu said softly:
"Li An belongs to him." He didn't give Yu Wenyong a chance to jump up and down, and held his hand down, then said, "Yong, calm down, listen to me, now is not the time for you to be angry."
Yu Wenyu valued Yu Wenyong, and Yu Wenyong also respected Yu Wenyu. Therefore, he endured his anger, pressed himself on the round pier, and listened to Yu Wenyu's words.
Yu Wenyu took a few deep breaths and said:
"I will definitely hold on in front of everyone and let you succeed. After you succeed, you must not act too hastily. You must be steady and patient. Look for opportunities to give Yuwenhu a fatal blow. Before you have such an opportunity, you must
Be patient and don't reveal any clues that could make him wary of you."
Yu Wenyong held Yu Wenyu's hand, his eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously.
Yu Wenyu smiled:
"Da Zhou is the empire built by our father. From now on, it will be handed over to you."
Hyun and others, who were happily playing outside, suddenly received an urgent call to go to the meeting. The group of people whipped their whips and ran towards the meeting.
In the carriage, Ning Yan looked at Hyun with a serious face and asked in a low voice:
"Is there a change in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Hyun looked at Ning Yu and said:
"I'm afraid Yu Wenyu may be in trouble."
Ning Yu asked:
"Will it affect Kun Yu Country?"
Hyun shook his head:
"Probably not. This is their business and has nothing to do with us."
Ning Fang was puzzled:
"Since it has nothing to do with us, why call us back?"
Xuan couldn't understand this either. How the throne of Da Zhou changed was also Da Zhou's business. Why did he call them back in such a hurry?
On April 19, his bones were about to fall apart and he ran back to Chang'an. Because Yu Wenyu was in a hurry to recruit Xun, when he arrived in Chang'an, where Ning Yu and the others would stay, Xun was taken into the palace.
Hyun was dusty and her appearance was in a mess. Hyun proposed to clean up before going to see Yu Wenyu, but the palace people said that the emperor was in urgent need of help, so they brought her to Yu Wenyu. Although she was mentally prepared, she saw Yu Wenyu on the bed.
At that time, Hyun was still surprised. From the time he came to Dazhou to discuss cooperation, today, less than a month later, that heroic man has disappeared.
Xuan's disapproval disappeared, and at Yu Wenyu's signal, he sat heavily on the round pillar beside the bed.
Yu Wenyu forced a smile and said:
"Why does General Zhuo look like this? I look bad, don't I?"
Hyun wanted to say something to comfort him, but Yu Wenyu had already started talking about business:
"My younger brother Yuwen Yong will become the next emperor. However, Yong is young, and I'm afraid that like Jue, he won't be able to secure this position."
Hyun comforted:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Duke Lu is calm and resourceful. He will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."
Hearing the praise of Yu Wenyong, Yu Wenyu was very happy and wanted to laugh. However, before he could fully laugh, there was a sharp pain in his body, and his face was deformed in pain.
