Chapter 40: Night Talk

At night, in the emperor's bedroom, the little emperor Yuwen Qiankeng slept on the couch, and Yuwenwen sat on the couch and took a nap.

The so-called cocoon is self-bound, Yu Wenwen tells horror stories to scare children, and even has to spend the night in the palace tonight, but he doesn't care, anyway, returning to the embassy is a long night of tossing and turning, and one more scourge can be one.

Yuwenwen is not empty in the house at night, and there are beautiful people by his pillow, although he is not strong enough to fight every night, but there is no one to accompany him outside the barracks, which makes him feel a little unhappy.

I don't know if Jiangnan has a fight. Yu Wenwen thought in his heart, after seeing the control ability of Prime Minister Chi Hui in Yecheng, he felt more and more that his strength was still too weak, and only strong soldiers and horses could keep his family safe in the war.

The soldiers who have worked so hard to raise cannot stay in the barracks and become moldy, as the saying goes, "the hub does not beetle, and the flowing water does not rot." No matter how big or small the war is, it is the necessary measure to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

How to go next, he is still thinking about it, there is not much room for the land of Jiangbei to be exerted, and before solving the trouble of the Sui State, it is unlikely that the imperial court will use troops against the Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River, so the Bazhou side can only still attack the Chen State and Yingzhou, and if you want to occupy it, you can't do it.

The war against Sui is the key, the risk is high but there are many opportunities, but this has nothing to do with him, there is no Great Plains in Bazhou, there is no hope of playing large-scale farms to farm and store grain, and it is not near the sea, it is impossible to sell salt, and there is no hope for the development of great navigation.

The population is small, the minerals are poor, and there is not much place to raise horses, so it is difficult to fight against the army, and if you take high-tech troops, such as musketeers and artillery, the technology will inevitably spread.

It has only been two years since the thunder appeared, and the secret recipe was taken, if muskets and artillery appeared in Shannan, the secret could not be kept, and the surrounding forces were all stronger than Shannan, if he learned the gunpowder science and technology to rise up and fight more than him, let alone learn it to the Turks, it would be a disastrous consequence.

This is still Yu Chi Cheng is not greedy, if he doesn't care about eating and wants the production method of the glass mirror, although he may not succeed, but it will also make the chickens fly and the dogs jump, Yuwenwen will rely on this thing to raise funds, if the production method is leaked one day, it will inevitably lead to a big decrease in sales revenue, and it is still a question of what to raise soldiers with.

If it weren't for his father's obstruction, the hungry wolves who came in droves could tear him up, either robbing him of the production method, or making him unable to sell a mirror.

After struggling for three years, it was easy to open up a little situation, but then he entered a dead end, with soldiers who could fight but there was not much use, he had been reduced to a bench player, watching the fierce games on the field but helpless, except for farming and small battles from time to time, he couldn't do anything.

Just like the Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms, he was blocked in Yizhou and couldn't get out, he couldn't farm the Wei State, and the violent soldiers couldn't compare with it, so he could only keep attacking to attack instead of defending, but the Wei State would not have the slightest chance if it was not chaotic.

Waiting for the civil strife in Sui? Emperor Wen of Sui's ability Yang Jian is not bad, when it comes to imperial power, this one can be ranked among the emperors of previous dynasties, not to mention that the Guanlong Group is now on the rise, and it will not be left behind to deal with the Yecheng Imperial Court, which has many hidden dangers.

Finally found a way to survive, but it was full of thorns, and he wanted to move forward, but it was difficult, Yuwenwen felt that he had to plan a long-term strategy in advance, so as not to end up in the city of sorrow.

The cavalry is not enough, then it still relies on the spear formation, if it can't be attacked, then at least it can be defended so that people don't attack it, it takes time to farm and raise horses and build weapons, so he will do the Ninja Turtles Divine Move.

Speaking of which, it goes back to the sad "riding by step", winning can not chase defeat and cannot escape, winning is good but losing is really lost, if you play the tactics of fortress advancement, not to mention the cost of massive funds and manpower and material resources, just time is not much less.

"It's all tears when you talk too much" Yu Wenwen felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but then he shook his spirit, he would not admit defeat, so he had to resist fate no matter what, and the faint monarch who tried to get involved with his wife was finished, and the other obstacles had to be cleared.

The oil lamp crackled, Yu Wenwen gathered his thoughts, looked at the sleeping little emperor on the couch, and then glanced at the attendants standing on the left and right, and the two attendants stood motionless with their hands down as if they were in a state of flux.

I don't know if it's just one or both. Yuwen Wen thought in his heart, the little emperor was supported by Wei Chi Yuan, and it would be strange if he didn't put eyeliner around him, so Yuwen Qiankeng always had eyes and ears around him, which was a matter of course.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven and the ministers, there are not many monarchs and ministers who can pass on each other as a good story for the ages, and even fewer of the two can have a good end, Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister, are one of them, but most of them have no good fruits to eat.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collapsed, after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty (Emperor Haidu), Huo Guang assisted Emperor Wu's grandson Liu Xun (Liu Aiji) to ascend the throne, Huo Guangquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and one person was above 10,000 people.

Because of the abolition of the emperor and the fact that he was in power, Huo Guang was compared with Yi Yin, the exiled son of heaven in the Zhou period.

Liu Xun's queen Xu Pingjun killed the Huo family, and then swallowed her anger and married Huo Chengjun, the daughter of the Huo family, as the queen.

This is a lesson from the past, the power of the minister at least when he was alive, and eleven years ago, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty abolished the two generations of emperors of the Jin Dynasty Yuwen Hu, for the puppet emperor Yuwen Yong personally assassinated, and his sons were all beheaded.

Yuwen Hu has a son, Yuwen Hui, who has been succeeded to the queenless clan, Shao Guogong Yuwenxuan, and was also arrested and killed together after the incident, and there is no possibility of compromise in the struggle for power.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the contradiction between the Son of Heaven and the ministers has intensified, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, either you die or I die, the Son of Heaven can kill in order to keep the country, and the ministers can usurp in order to keep the family.

Taking the original opponent of the Zhou State as an example, in order to prevent someone from threatening the imperial power, the Gao emperors went on a killing spree, as long as they felt threatened, they could do it, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling of the clan, Mingyue Hu Luguang of the Northern Dynasty, and the pillars of the country were killed one by one.

Hou Jing was the right minister, but he went to the Southern Dynasty and made the "Hou Jing Rebellion", killing Yanyu Jiangnan to the bone, and Xiao Liang collapsed.

The survivors are all traitorous ministers and ministers, who will please the emperor and change their ways to make the emperor happy, so when they arrived at Gao Wei, the queen of Qi, the cronies around him were the best among the traitors, and Mu Tipo, He Shikai and others contributed a lot to the instant collapse of the Qi country.

Zhou is not inferior here, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong cut off the power minister Yuwen Hu, although he killed his whole family, but he did not overkill, like the two brothers Yu Chi Hui and Yu Chi Gang, who were closer to Yu Wen Hu, he was not implicated and killed, but the high-ranking officials offered it.

When the loser son Yu Wenyun ascended the throne, he felt that "there is always a powerful minister who wants to harm me", so he first killed the pillar of the clan, Qi Wang Yu Wenxian, and then killed the loyal ministers and good generals such as Wang Liang and Yuwen Shenju, who were reused by his father, and reused Zheng Yi, Liu Fang and other henchmen.

As a result, he had only been on the throne for more than two years, and he suddenly fell ill and couldn't speak, and when his life was in danger, Zheng Yi, Liu Fang and others took the lead in rebelling, sold his son, and packed it with Jiangshan to Yang Jian, the duke of Sui.

Qi State got rid of the ministers, and in the end they got out Mu Tipo and He Shikai, the two best traitors, but the Zhou State got rid of the ministers but made Zheng Yi and Liu Fang, the two traitors who jumped back, if the Son of Heaven fucks up, it will be the same as the end of the country.

The Son of Heaven can't tolerate the ministers, and the ministers are more usurpers, Yuwen Wen doesn't know what the ending of Yuwen Qiankeng and Yu Chi Hui is the 'pair', but the clan background can no longer let him stay out of the matter, if there is really a moment when the picture is poor, the break between Yuwen and Yu Chi is inevitable.

And his wife is the daughter of the Yu Chi family, his sister-in-law, half of the blood of the Yu Chi family, if he really comes to that point, what should he, who is a husband and a lady, do?

The Son of Heaven and the Ministers broke up, if the Son of Heaven wins, Yuwenwen's wife is the remnant, and the son is half of the remnant, the Son of Heaven will not allow the remnant to live in the world, if a man can't even keep his own woman and son, what's the point of living in the world?

If the minister wins, he will definitely be the one who will be killed as a clan, and even his son will be cut down and eradicated, and he will not be able to live, no matter which side wins, it will make no difference to him.

"I really hope one is Adou and the other is Prime Minister Zhuge ."

"Ahh The corpse has changed! ”

An exclamation interrupted Yuwen Wen's thoughts, the little emperor Yuwen Qiankeng suddenly woke up, sweating profusely waving his arms, Yuwen Wen hurriedly leaned over and grabbed the other party's wrist, and said with relief: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." ”

The waiter who stood on the left and right also stepped forward to persuade him, Yuwen Qiankeng looked around in horror, seeing that it was a familiar person, his mood finally calmed down, he wiped his sweaty forehead, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I dreamed, I dreamed that I was walking in the mountains and forests, and I met a warlock to drive the corpse, and when I had nowhere to hide, suddenly a corpse changed."

"Weichen is frightened, he shouldn't tell that absurd story, so that His Majesty is frightened!" After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated, and was about to kowtow to apologize, but was supported by the emperor's order to support the inner servants.

"What is Xiyang's crime? It's such a good story, I'd like to hear more about it. Yuwen Qiankeng waved his hand and said with a smile, "What Xiyang Gong has seen and heard outside, you can say a little more, so that I can also open my eyes." ”

'Do you want to hear Sadako's story?' Yu Wenwen complained in his heart, but this kind of story is not suitable for children, if it is really scared, it will be terrible, seeing that the little emperor is unharmed, he saluted and apologized: "Please also ask Your Majesty to rest first, and it is not too late to listen to it tomorrow." ”

"Well, I'll hear it tomorrow." Yuwen Qiankeng nodded, seeing Yuwen Wen's panicked look, he opened his mouth and said: "Xiyang Gong also rest, just fall asleep on this couch and have a good sleep with me." ”

"Wechen was terrified and didn't dare to overstep." Yuwen Wen saluted and said, "Weichen is willing to watch the night for Your Majesty, please go to bed with peace of mind." ”……

Ye, in a corner of the north city, in a room of a mansion, a man was reading a book by the light of an oil lamp, and there was a bowl of soup on the bookcase, but there was no sign of moving, although the man was looking at the book, he seemed to be absent-minded.

"Lord Lang, the people are here." Someone outside the door whispered, the man pressed, the door opened, and two people walked in one after the other, the latter one with a white face and a hurry, as if he had just arrived from somewhere else.

"How's it going? How is the little one doing? How is Yuwen Wen performing? The man asked.

"Back to the county duke, Your Majesty behaved normally, didn't say anything more, Yuwen Wen didn't see anything suspicious, gave gifts and said some scenes, and began to tell the story, Your Majesty was very fascinated, so he stayed in the palace for the night."

"Have you arranged for the bedchamber?"

"Please rest assured, keep an eye on it."

"What story did Yu Wenwen tell that fascinated the little guy so much?"

"This little one is listening to it on the side, it's all some strange things, and I don't know where Yu Wenwen heard it, but it's very interesting."

"If the story is good, then listen carefully." The man laughed, "Don't get distracted and let the little guy get into trouble!" (To be continued.) )
