Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wind Is Not Even, The Waves Are Not Quiet
It's easy to end the duty and come out of the palace, what Yu Wenwen does every day in the mansion is to sleep, and he was tortured by Yang Lihua a few days ago and couldn't sleep at night, but he had to make up for his sleep.
Then there is a letter, one to his beloved wife Yu Chi Chifan and one to his father Yu Wenliang, the letter to his wife is very numb, and the letter to his father is much more honest, because Yu Wenwen is lying again.
One of the key reasons why he tried his best to persuade his father and brother to let him come to Chang'an as hostages was that the vassal kings of the clan who were stranded in Chang'an were dissatisfied with Yang Jian and would inevitably take action, and he would participate in it and strive to use the power of the vassal kings to kill Yang Jian.
But at that time, it was said that Yuwen Wen was hiding behind the scenes, but now he is on the stage in person and has played a bitter trick, and if he doesn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid that after he goes back, the old man will blow his beard and stare at him and not let him go out of Anlu City, and the game will be over.
Soul is weak, this stage is the rising period of my career, don't let the old man do bad things!
There is also a way for his father to find a way to make conditions with Yang Jian to let him return to Anlu, the longer he stays here, the more inexplicable hidden tasks will be triggered, and he can't go on like this.
When he came to Chang'an in late July, he thought that something was wrong and ran away, but it didn't take long for him to trigger the task and accept Yang Ji, a "hot-blooded man of the Ming Dynasty", as his subordinate.
If you accept it, you will accept it, and if you meet a knife master on the road, you can still help cut people when you meet someone who buys road money, but now this Yang Lihua is not good.
Yu Wenwen felt that his career had not yet been settled, and he inexplicably triggered the "harem mission" and provoked Yang Lihua, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could he get it if he continued like this.
Time flies, Yu Wenwen felt that he had not rested enough before it was time to change shifts and enter the palace on duty, and after bathing and burning incense and praying, Yu Wenwen entered the palace with his bags with 'bad motives'.
Maybe the Queen Mother Yang Lihua figured it out, or she was angry and didn't trouble him again, Yuwenwen never saw Yang Lihua and her henchwoman Anu until she left the palace after changing shifts.
This made Yuwen Wen, who was bent on 'getting it' Yang Lihua, melancholy, but he didn't care because he couldn't help the other party when the time came!
The days passed, and Yu Wenwen's hostage life soon passed for more than a month, and in a blink of an eye, it was the middle of October of the second year of the elephant.
He has been away from Anlu for nearly three months, and his thoughts about his wife Yu Chi Chi are increasing day by day, and the situation is beginning to become clearer.
Only three years after the Great Zhou defeated the Northern Qi to unify the north, the Northern Qi homeland split off to become another Great Zhou, just like the Northern Wei established by the Tuoba clan (Yuan), and was finally divided into two sections: east and west.
The two imperial courts in the east and west respectively called each other the puppet dynasty, and the general history of the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties continued to repeat itself, when the Yuan royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was held hostage by the powerful ministers Gao Huan and Yuwentai and divided into two courts.
Today's Great Zhou is also the same by the Yuwen clan controlled by Yang Jian and Wei Chi Hui divided into two Great Zhou, East and West, each claiming to be orthodox, and the fate of the Great Zhou seems to be following in the footsteps of the Northern Wei Dynasty and gradually disappearing.
And Yang Jian's pace of cleaning the Yuwen clan has also accelerated, starting with the children and grandchildren of Yuwentai, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty:
At the end of August, the Autumn Government cracked the case of attacking the imperial city, and the king Yuwen Zhen attempted to rebel, and his son Yuwen Dewen was killed together; His younger brother Song Wang Yuwen rebelled and killed; Ji Wang Yuwen attempted to rebel and killed;
Next are the descendants of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong:
In early September, the autumn government cracked the major case of colluding with the puppet emperor to intend to rebel, and the Qin king Yuwen Zhen attempted to rebel, and his sons Yuwen Jingzhi and Yuwen Jingren were killed together; Cao Wangyu Wenyun was killed in an attempted rebellion;
In late September, the autumn government cracked the case of assassinating the prime minister, Daowang Yuwen attempted to rebel and killed, Cai Wang Yuwen attempted to rebel and killed; King Jing Yuwen Yuan attempted to rebel and killed.
In early October, an attempted poisoning of the emperor broke out in the imperial palace, and Wang Yuwen Qianyun, together with his younger brothers Yuwen and Yu Wenqi, attempted to rebel and killed; Wing Wang Yuwen Xuan attempted to rebel and killed
At the beginning of September, in addition to the little emperor Yuwentai and his younger brothers Ye Wang Yu Wenwen and Yingwang Yuwenshu, the fifteen men who were still alive were now all killed.
The rest are the descendants of the Great Zhou clan - the Yuwentai brothers, the fourth youngest in the Yuwentai family, with three elder brothers: the eldest brother Yuwenhao, the second brother Yuwenlian, and the third brother Yuwen Luosheng, of course, they and their sons have passed away, and the existing ones are grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Yuwen Yuanbao, the son of Yuwen Lian, the prince of Qiguo, was succeeded by Yuwen Hao's grandson Yuwen Liang (that is, Yuwen Wen's father), and Yuwen Luosheng died without a queen when Yuwentai was not yet rich.
Therefore, now the clan outside the imperial city is Yuwen Hao's son Yu Wendao and Yuwen Qiankeng, who was supported by Yu Chi and established as the emperor, he is the youngest son of Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, and the daughter princess who married the Turks is his sister.
Now the only clan leading the troops outside is Yuwenwen's father Yuwenliang, and Xingzhou Assassin Shi Yuwenxuan has been defeated and killed by Yang Su, the prince of Qinghe County.
Under the bloody wind and rain, everyone in the Yuwen clan who used to be high above was in danger, and they were waiting for the doom to come in fear, and now there is only one person in the clan who dares to swagger and shop in Chang'an City, and that is Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County.
It is also the only clan that makes Prime Minister Yang Jian have a little scruple in Chang'an City.
At this moment, Yuwen Wen walked on the street with three of his subordinates, and only then did Yu Wenwen visit the fifth uncle Yuwen Zhong's mansion but ate a closed door.
Yuwenwen's grandfather Yuwendao had a total of five sons, the eldest son Yuwenguang inherited his title of Duke of Fenguo, and now Yuwenguang has passed away and his son Yuwenqia inherited the title of Duke of Fenguo; The second son, Yuwen Liang, succeeded to his cousin Yuwen Yuanbao and inherited the title of Duke of Qiguo; The third son, Yuwenyi, died early, and Yuwenliang's second son, Yuwenwen, inherited his title as the duke of Xiyang County.
The fourth son Yuwenchun was named the Duke of Yongchang County, and the fifth son Yuwenzhong was named the Duke of Tianshui County, these five people and their sons are the existing clans, except for Yuwenliang and his eldest son Yu Wenming, a total of eleven people are in Chang'an.
When the imperial court made a move on Anzhou, none of them wanted to live, so fate made the clan concentrate their resentful anger on Yuwenliang and his son, and Yuwenwen, who happened to be in Chang'an, bore the brunt.
Yuwen Wen went to his cousin, Yu Wenqia's house to visit the housekeeper 'politely' blocked the door, yesterday in front of the fourth uncle Yuwen Chun's mansion to eat a closed door, today in the fifth uncle Yu Wenzhong also can't please the housekeeper sent out.
The reason why he was treated like this was because the uncles thought that because of Yu Wenliang's short-sightedness, Yang Jian was too big, and if the Anzhou army could go north in July to capture the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion in the northeast, or support Li Hui, the assassin of Shenzhou in the north, to seize the entire territory of the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion, then why would Yang Jian be so rampant.
In a month, the fifteen men of the royal family were killed, leaving them with these side branch clans to fill the scene, and the world of the Yuwen family was slowly lost in this way, and Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, could not escape the blame.
In order to keep his position as the chief administrator, but regardless of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what face will he see in the future!
"Bastard, those vassal kings are not angry one by one, but they have come to our house!" Yuwen fifteen kicked a flying stone, and he followed Lord Lang with a total of five people who dared to assassinate Yang Jian and almost succeeded, while the vassal kings all had dozens or hundreds of guards in their palaces, but none of them succeeded.
Yuwen Wen ate three closed door soups in a row, and his mood was not much better, who can blame the clans for not being able to get a butcher's knife to their necks one by one?
God does not help people to help themselves, and always thinks that relying on others is that life and death are in the hands of others.
According to the historical trajectory, Yang Jian was slowly cleaning the Yuwen clan in batches in the second half of the second year of the elephant and the next year, and now because of the confrontation with Xiangzhou Wei Chi Yuan, he couldn't pretend to be reserved in order to eliminate future troubles, so he quickly cut through the chaos.
The fate of the powerful minister Yuwen Hu is a lesson from the past, Yang Jian will not let the Yuwen clan have any chance to fight back, and the two younger brothers of the little emperor Yuwen Yan, Ye Wang Yu Wenjun and Ying Wang Yu Wenshu, are enough as substitutes.
A few days ago, the envoy sent by his father Yuwenliang had come to Chang'an to discuss with Prime Minister Yang Jian about letting him go back to Anlu, if he could go home, then the next time he came to Chang'an, he didn't know what year and month, so he had to take a look at this "world-class metropolis" again.
From late July to the present nearly three months, the three governors of An, Xiang and Huangzhou have proved the sincerity of the strike with actual performance, to be honest, it is impossible to stop the other party from doing it with just one proton, just like the rebellion of the three feudatories in the early Qing Dynasty, Wu Yingxiong, the eldest son of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, was a proton in the capital and failed to prevent his father from raising troops.
So Yu Wenwen doesn't plan to sit and wait, he is already trying to find a way to retreat, if he can leave openly, it is naturally good, if he can't talk, then he will run away by himself, anyway, he has already mentioned this in the letter to his father and said hello, presumably after learning that he was 'missing' for a period of time, he can pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Then I have to take the Queen Mother Yang Lihua away, she is my woman, so I have to take it away!
As he walked, Yu Wenwen suddenly saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who should not have appeared on the streets of Chang'an: Anu, a confidant female official next to the Queen Mother Yang Lihua.
It's not impossible for people in the palace to go out of the palace, like Li Sanjiu, who often went out of the palace alone to buy before, but the problem is that a senior female official like Anu is alone without an entourage, and her whereabouts are suspicious, Yuwenwen caught a glimpse of her sneakily turning into a pharmacy.
There is no need for the imperial doctor in the palace to go out of the palace to buy medicine if she is sick, headache and brain fever or something, and it is not impossible for a henchman like her to prescribe some good medicine, so the question is: why did she go out of the palace to buy medicine?
Either there is something that cannot be known to the imperial doctor, or what medicine is to be used cannot be known to the imperial doctor. The disease that can't be known to the imperial doctor is some hidden disease that can't be seen? What kind of poison is the medicine that can't be known to the imperial doctor?
Yuwen Wen frowned tightly in his heart, and quickly thought about the key, Yuwen Fifteen and the others couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Lord Lang in a daze......
Anu came out of the pharmacy with a few packets of medicine, looked left and right, there were no suspicious characters, stared at her, and left in a hurry, she didn't think that just a few steps away, a figure next to her rushed by, and looked down in his hand, and the packets of medicine were gone.
When I looked up, it was a kid who grabbed the medicine and ran forward, she opened her mouth and wanted to shout that someone was robbing something, but she couldn't help but chase after her, the kid was as slippery as a loach and drilled around in the crowd, and she was about to escape, but she almost fell down, and Anu didn't think much about it when she saw this.
She ran fast as a female streamer, and followed the boy in front of her to catch up, but he was always a little close, turning around in the alleys and alleys, and finally blocking him in a dead end.
"Hand over the stuff!" Anu pulled out his dagger and slowly approached the man, "Hand over the things and spare your life!" ”
The boy hesitated for a moment, holding the bags of things in the palm of his hand, as if to hand them over, Anu was about to step forward to get them, but saw him throw them suddenly and threw them behind him.
Anu was anxious and turned around to grab it, but found that three people appeared behind him, catching the packets of medicine, and when the first one stepped forward slowly, when she saw the face of the person who came, she couldn't help but be shocked and blurted out: "It's you?"
"It's me"
"Why are you here!" Anu doesn't feel good.
"I'm already here."
"What are you doing here!" She clutched the dagger tightly.
"It's a coincidence."
That person was Yu Wenwen and the two minions behind him.
