Chang'an City.

The king of Qin and the king of Shu are auxiliary to the government, and the brothers have political discord with each other.

The king of Qin tried to continue the reform, open up the tax burden and reduce expenditure, and improve the national treasury silver.

The king of Shu insisted on responding to all changes with the same, rectifying the rule of officials, promoting cadres, and striving to spend a very small price and have a great harvest.

Although each is to improve the strength of the imperial court, they are two completely different paths.

The strategy adhered to by King Qin was the same as Yang Yue's reform in the imperial court, involving a wide range of obstacles, but the reform was successful, and the country was stable and stable for a long time.

The strategy of the king of Shu has little resistance and is easy to implement successfully, however, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and solved the stubborn disease of the imperial court for a hundred years.

In addition, the king of Qin was in charge of the six armies of the Northern Ya, and the foundation was all in Chang'an, and the crown prince was deposed, and he seemed to have an opportunity to seize the heir, which made the king of Qin, who had always been simply loyal to the emperor, have other thoughts.

Secretly contacting the generals in the army, Mingli is friendly with the important ministers of the court, and he is not slow to establish his own power in the court.

The king of Shu is arrogant, but also holds military power, before, and the king of Qin is a general friend, after each other auxiliary government, political opinions, he more and more do not put the king of Qin in his eyes.

The surface did not move at all, and secretly communicated with the generals of the Sixteen Guards, as if he had established power in the army, and in addition, there was a power left by the king of Chu in the court. It is also on a par with King Qin.

The two tigers competed, causing the imperial court to change its decree overnight, and the order was issued by many departments, which could not help but fail to implement the strategy of both sides, and seriously affected the reputation of the court.

Hundreds of officials complained bitterly, causing news to spread in the city of Chang'an, and the king of Qin and Shu began to seek the throne.

However, in Chang'an, people of insight have a heart like a mirror, the king of Qin controls the six armies of the Northern Ya, and the army is mostly stationed near Chang'an, and the king of Shu continues to gather his troops in the states of Gyeonggi Province, and seems to want to gain a foothold in Chang'an.

The two did not directly tear their faces, but they continued to fight openly and secretly, and even installed dead parties in the imperial court, which seriously affected the transformation of Zhang Shaoqing and Gao Xiaoyun.

If it is not controlled, sooner or later the court will be chaotic, and hundreds of officials will be leaderless, causing chaos in the world!

However, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't help but stop going to the court, and even dealing with official documents is often handed over to the king of Shu, or Zhang Shaoqing, Gao Xiaoyun.

The miasma of the imperial court caused dissatisfaction among the officials, and many officials loyal to the royal family did not attach themselves to the king of Qin and the king of Shu, but leaned closer to Zhang Shaoqing and Gao Xiaoyun, waiting for the emperor's well-being.

At this time, the Yuwen family seized the opportunity, went to the court, won the hearts of the people, and among the sixteen guards, bribed, coerced, and the generals of the guards to speed up the pace of rebellion.

Before the end of the year, the lively Chang'an city was very lively, but there was a trace of anger, as if the darkness was going to erode this cold winter.

At this time, at the north gate of Chang'an, a fast horse like a sharp arrow, rushed into the city gate, and the man on the horse went on a rampage, ignoring the pedestrians in the street, and quickly went to the east market.

The messenger arrives at Dongshifang and stops in front of the Yuwen family's house.

Before the end of the year, Yuwen's house has cleaned up the courtyard of the mansion, under the door, hanging red lanterns, and someone is posting Spring Festival couplets, a lively and festive scene.

The messenger jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the guard, and the horse that had just stopped neighed on the spot, foaming at the mouth, and fell heavily to the ground.

Moving to the gate of the mansion, the messenger grabbed the steward of the conductor Ding who posted the Spring Festival couplets, and said, "Take me to the head of the house quickly, there is urgent news from the north!"

When the steward heard the voice, he saw the messenger's anxious expression, and there was a war horse next to him who was tired and died, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "My lord, come with me!"

The snow covers Chang'an, slightly cold, covered in silver, beautiful!

In the courtyard of Yuwen's house, covered with snow, the family cleared, passed through the courtyard, through the corridor, the steward met the housekeeper in the house, and said: "Uncle Bao, the lord from the north, there are 100,000 urgent matters, report to the master!"

Yu Wenbao heard that the messenger wanted to see the head of the house, and led the other party into the inner courtyard.

In the courtyard, Yuwenshi was dressed in linen coarse clothes, holding a broom, cleaning the snow in the courtyard, leisurely and leisurely.

The two kings competed, he waited and watched the changes, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Now, everything is properly arranged, just waiting for the king of Qin and the king of Shu to fight, or the emperor dies, and the court is in a panic.

The Yuwen family took the opportunity to cavalry, seize the Yang family, and return to the peak of power!

The messenger came over, and when he saw Yuwenshi, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and Yuwenbao next to him approached Yuwenshi in advance, and said in a low voice: "Master, the messenger from the Northern Xuanhuang Sect has returned!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Wenshi stopped his broom, stared at the messenger in front of him, and said, "What's going on in the north?"

Xuanhuan Gate is the Jianghu force secretly supported by the Yuwen family, and the Nine Heavens Gate controlled by Han Xifan from the Phantom Sound Pavilion and the Hedong Jiedu, and is known as the three major schools of the rivers and lakes.

However, the relationship between the Yuwen family and the Xuanhuangmen is secret, and few people in the court and in the rivers and lakes think of the relationship between the two.

When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly took out a pair of jade pendants from his arms, presented them to Yuwenbao, clasped his fists and saluted Yuwenshi, and said, "Master, please take a look!"

Yu Wenbao took the jade pendant and handed it to Yu Wenshi, Yu Wenshi took it in his hand, looked at it in detail, and said, "You are a disciple of the Yellow Character Sect, what is the matter?"

The messenger didn't dare to speak, but just looked up at Yuwenbao, Yuwenshi understood, waved Yuwenbao to leave, and asked, "Say, what's the matter?"

Moving closer, the messenger stuck to Yuwen Shi and muttered softly: "The second son, the army failed in Youzhou and was suppressed by King Yan, and now, King Yan imprisoned the second son, Mu Qianjun, and completely controlled the Youzhou army."

Hearing the sound, Yuwenshi's face immediately drooped, his expression was complicated, he never expected that on the eve of the Yuwen family's cavalry, Yang Yue dared to mutiny in Youzhou and control the Youzhou army, could it be that he was ready to rebel in Youzhou?

However, he doesn't care whether Yang Yue rebels or not, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it is for the Yuwen family.

It's just that the right guard under Yuwen's horizontal tent was forcibly seized by King Yan, which caused a lot of losses to the Yuwen family, and it is very likely to destroy the Yuwen family's plan.

Yu Wenshi couldn't help but ask coldly: "You said, Heng'er was detained by King Yan, and the right guard fell into the hands of King Yan?"

"Master, this matter is true, in addition, on the way back to Beijing, the owner of the door sent a killer to prevent King Xiaoyao from entering Beijing, and the villain rushed back in advance!" The messenger did not dare to hide anything, and cut the railroad to the fore.

King Xiaoyao on the way back to Beijing?

For a while, Yuwenshi's heart became more and more frightened, it seemed that Yang Yue's mutiny was very likely to be instigated by King Xiaoyao and deliberately hit the strength of the Yuwen family.

If Yang Yue and King Xiaoyao are in collusion, and the Yuwen family rebels in Chang'an, the resistance will increase a lot.

Yu Wenshi let out a long sigh and said, "Tell the master of the Yellow Character Sect that no matter what the price is, you must delay the return of King Xiaoyao to Beijing, go!"

"Yes!" The messenger ordered, bow down and exit the courtyard!

At this time, Yu Wenshi hurriedly moved to the front of the family who was clearing the snow, and ordered: "Find the steward immediately and let him go to the study, and in addition, you go to the eldest prince yourself."

"Yes!" The family put down the broom and hurried away.
