Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Xianfu Palace is two hundred miles north of Jiangdu, next to the Grand Canal. It was originally a palace built by Yang Guang for the convenience of visiting Jiangdu.  Now Xianfu Palace has welcomed a new owner, Yu Wenji.  In ten days, Yu Wenhuaji led one hundred thousand Guanzhong Xiaoguo to only travel four hundred miles. It can be said that this journey was extremely slow.  However, General Xiaoguo was dissatisfied but had nothing to say. After all, Yu Wenhuaji fulfilled his promise and began to return north.  In the Xianfu Palace.  The new emperor Yang Hao had already dismissed him, and Yu Wenhuaji sat unceremoniously in the main seat. That was Yang Guang's position before, but at this moment Yu Wenhuaji did not shy away from it at all.  Now that Yu Wenhuaji has come to power, he has begun to enjoy himself wildly. Even his travel rituals are no different from Yang Guang's travels.  A eunuch in the hall reported it.  "Reporting to the Prime Minister, Du Fuwei rejected the Prime Minister's solicitation and claimed that he was willing to obey the orders of Yang Tong in Luoyang." "After the Prime Minister left, Chen Leng, the governor of Jiangdu, openly moved the mausoleum for the late emperor." "The puppet emperor Yang Tong recruited Li Mi to surrender.  Li Mi was appointed as the general manager of the march on the Southeast Road. He thought that the army was gathering in Wagang and would meet our army soon. "" Yu Wenhuaji sat in the chair and listened to the bad news one after another.  came and couldn't help but get a headache.  ¡°They are all trash, they all deserve to die?¡± Yu Wenhuaji roared.  The eunuch retreated wisely.  Before taking power, Yu Wenhuaji was very envious of Yang Guangda's power.  After the coup, Yu Wenhuaji discovered that the position of emperor was not just about the glory on the surface, but there were huge risks behind the glory.  There are many powerful enemies outside, soldiers inside are encouraging people to return north, and forces secretly loyal to Yang Guang abound.  A lot of things came flooding in, making Yu Wenhua extremely annoyed.  "Brother! The situation is not good now!" Yu Wenzhi said worriedly.  Since Yuwen Zhiji planned the mutiny with Yuwen Wenji, his status has greatly increased. He was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe, and his status is second only to Yuwen Wenji.  "Are the soldiers still safe now?" Yu Wenhuaji asked worriedly.  Thinking of these soldiers, Yu Wenhuaji felt itchy with hatred.  Jiang didn't even wait for him, he had to make a fuss about returning north to Guanzhong, and he didn't even think about what the situation would be like now.  You, an ordinary soldier, may be fine if you return to Guanzhong, but you don't want to think about Yu Wenji. He will probably be hacked to death without a place to bury him before he reaches Guanzhong.  But even so.  However, Yu Wenhuaji had to listen to the soldiers' advice to return north, otherwise Yang Guang's fate would be a lesson to him.  "There are many resentments among the Xiaoguo people. There are rumors in the army that the eldest brother is delaying his return to the north, and is not considerate of the soldiers. He gave the carriage and horse to the beauty, but made the soldiers carry weapons and armor. The carriage was full of treasures but there was no reward.  To the soldiers." Yuwen Zhiji said truthfully, there is no need to say false words when we are brothers.  "Bump!" Yu Wenhuaji's face was full of anger and he slammed the table hard.  "These soldiers are really messing around! The truth has returned north according to their wishes, and now they are acting like this?" Yu Wenhuaji was extremely angry.  March and April were the spring drought season, the water level in the canal dropped, and Yu Wenhuaji went north soon.  The ships could no longer be used. As a last resort, Yu Wenhuaji ordered the seizure of two thousand ox carts.  How to divide one hundred thousand soldiers and two thousand vehicles among them?  In this regard, Yuwen Zhiji also shook his head. After all, they had just taken power and lacked prestige. They could only appease these arrogant and powerful generals.  "How many soldiers can we control now!" Yu Wenhua asked with hatred.  "During this period of time, we can only guarantee the loyalty of 30,000 soldiers to our eldest brother. The rest of the soldiers are still in the hands of the previous generals." "Thirty thousand soldiers?" Yu Wenhuaji frowned.  "This is far from enough!" "Brother, this is the limit of what we can do. Even so, many generals have noticed it. If we continue to do it, there will be trouble." Yuwen Zhiji said.  "But don't worry, brother, as long as we take our time. Sooner or later, all these soldiers will be in the hands of brother." Yuwen Zhiji said.  "Are you afraid we won't have time?" Yu Wenhuaji sighed.  The situation is tense now, and the daily consumption of a hundred thousand troops is extremely terrifying. Even so, Yu Wenhuaji still marches slowly because he needs enough time to control the army.  Now that Li Mi has surrendered to Luoyang, he has freed up his hands. Soon, Jiangdu Army will meet Wagang Army, and there is not much time left for Yu Wenhuaji.  &nbsp"Second brother, choose ten carts of treasures and reward them to the generals!" Yu Wenhuaji said.  "Ten carts of treasure!" Yuwen Zhiji said distressedly.  "Go and execute the order immediately!" Yu Wenhuaji ordered.  "Yes!" Yuwen Zhiji left heartbroken.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Outside the Xianfu Palace, in the military camp, Zhao Xingshu walked around alone in the military tent, his face sometimes compromised, sometimes struggling.  He, Sima Deji and Yuwen Zhiji are all close friends. When he and Sima Deji were planning to escape, he was the one who brought Yuwen Zhiji here.  As a result, brother Yuwen killed Sima Deji immediately in order to calm down Xiaoguo's anger.  Zhao Xingshu felt that he had killed his friend Sima Deji. At the same time, he also discovered that Yu Wenhuaji had quietly replaced the original Xiaoguo generals because the families of these generals were controlled by Daxing City.  If Daxing City comes back to contact Daxing City in the future, and if Daxing City uses these family members to threaten the generals, I am afraid that Daxing Army will switch sides in an instant.  Zhao Xingshu can understand Yu Wenhuaji¡¯s approach. If it were him, he would do the same.  He also knew that the best outcome for him would be to be ignored. He could either comply with Yu Wenhuaji's wishes or try his best again.  At this moment, one thing placed in front of Zhao Xingshu was two boxes full of jewelry, and the other was a thin piece of letter paper. Zhao Xingshu looked at the two things in front of him and fell into a deep tangle.  The two boxes of jewelry were sent by Yuwen Zhiji just now, saying they were gifts from the prime minister, and the thin letter was a letter from home, sent by him from the high hall of his hometown in Guanzhong.  In the letter, his parents wrote that their whole family is currently being held in solitary confinement in Daxing City, and they have not been subjected to any abuse. Everyone in the family is safe, and they asked him not to worry about it.  Zhao Xingshu read the letter carefully several times. The last word stood out a little when it was raised. It was the secret code between father and son. He confirmed that this letter was indeed written voluntarily by his parents.  This is just an ordinary letter from home. It contains greetings from parents and the situation at home. There is not even a word of advice. But the more it is like this, the more guilty Zhao Xingshu feels in his heart. Zhao Xingshu couldn't help but burst into tears as he read it.  The guilt for Sima Deji and his parents suddenly came to his heart, and Zhao Xingshu was in extreme pain.  For a long time, Zhao Xingshu raised his head in silence, looked at a shadowed corner in the tent and said firmly: "Is the promise made by His Highness the King serious?" A figure in the corner stood quietly and replied calmly: "My emperor has never broken his promise.  However, as long as General Zhao can assassinate Yu Wenhuaji, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, our emperor will release everyone in the Zhao family and return all their property. The same goes for all participants. " Zhao Xingshu struggled for a long time and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"  "General!" Soldiers immediately poured into the tent.  Zhao Xingshu looked at the black shadow, looked at the soldiers, waved his hands suddenly and said: "Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Pu She Mansion, and tell me that I will invite the Prime Minister to go hunting in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts tomorrow." "Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left.  .
