Chapter 83

"Second Mother, do you know what you're talking about?" Yu Wenxian almost suspected that his ears were wrong.

Dou Yan sniffed: "I saw it all around. His Majesty was seriously ill in bed. My cousin came over and said, said..."

She suddenly saw her close relatives, and she was a little excited, and she couldn't even speak for a while.

Yu Wenxian held her shoulders and helped her sit down: "Don't worry, you speak slowly."

Solvay poured water and handed it over himself.

Holding the warm cup, Dou Yan seemed to gradually regain the strength to speak: "Cousin came to visit His Majesty, but said to His Majesty: Why are you still not dead? One day, I couldn't feel comfortable, I finally made you lie in bed and couldn't get up, but you still refused to give up, tossing people for nothing!"

It is not difficult for Dou Yan to repeat these words word for word. She has been wise since she was a child and is familiar with the classics. She also advised Yu Wenyong to endure humiliation for the country and not treat the Queen Ashina too coldly. Yu Wenyong liked this niece very much, and once lamented why Dou Yan was not a boy, he kept her by his side since he was a child. When Dou Yan was younger, he lived in the palace for a few years. The court is also very free, and you don't have to go through many checkpoints like ordinary people.

Given her reputation for being smart in the clan, Yu Wenxian has no doubts about the authenticity of Dou Yan's remarks.

Yu Wenxian was shocked and angry: "Does he really say that?"

Dou Yan nodded: "At that time, His Majesty was ill, and my cousin's long-suppressed temper was gradually exposed. I didn't want to meet him more. When I heard him coming, I first found a place in the bedroom to avoid it. My cousin said this to His Majesty... At that time, His Majesty was furious and said that he was disobedient and unfilial, and he had to ask someone to draft an edict saying that he wanted to abolish the Crown Prince, but my cousin told His Majesty not to waste his energy, but, still..."

She clutched the cup tightly, her face was pale, and she couldn't hide her horror, as if she had returned to the scene of that day. She hid behind the thick curtain, and through that gap, she saw Yu Wenyun standing in front of the dragon couch, bent He pulled up the quilt on Yu Wenyong's body by his waist, and then...

"He suffocated His Majesty! Yu Wenyun suffocated His Majesty, I saw it all!" Dou Yanwu cried, unable to control himself.

No one spoke in the room for a while, only heavy breathing and Dou Yan's crying.

Yu Wenxian's expression changed, and he was speechless for a while.

Su Wei was shocked and did not retreat for a long time. He tried his best to avoid the government and lived in the wilderness. No matter how Yu Wenyong invited him, he refused to take up an official position. It was only because he had a strong personal relationship with Yu Wenxian, Pu Liurujian and others that he took the risk of taking him in. Yu Wenxian didn't expect to hear a shocking story about imperial power's rebellion.

It is not uncommon for a father and son to kill each other in the royal family, but Yu Wenyun has long been established as the crown prince, and sooner or later the throne will belong to him. If Yu Wenyun can't wait, can't wait to kill his father, that's really a loss of conscience.

Shen Qiao asked Dou Yan, "Yu Wenyun knew you heard it, so he wanted to arrest you?"

Dou Yan nodded with red eyes: "At that time, I hid in there and didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by Yu Wenyun. I only came out after he left. He announced the news of His Majesty's death outside. I hurried out to take advantage of the chaos. When Yu Wenyun discovered it, he suspected that I might have seen him kill His Majesty, so he sent someone to chase him home, and wanted me to enter the palace in the name of cousins ​​and sisters."

Su Wei: "Do your father and Princess Xiangyang know about this?"

Dou Yan: "Cousin is suspicious by nature. I am afraid that they will show their signs in front of my cousin after they know the inside story, so I dare not reveal a few words to them. My aunt and aunt only think that I am deeply saddened by the death of the late emperor. , I immediately sent someone to the door, I was afraid that my father and mother would not be able to stop me, so I sneaked out alone, I wanted to go to the side house to find someone, who knows that there is no one there."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Solvay opened the door and went out, and after a while, he brought a bowl of hot noodle soup.

"Ayan is hungry, let's eat something first."

After all, Dou Yan is a child under ten years old. No matter how smart and calm he is, after being hungry for several times, he can't help salivating when he sees this bowl of noodle soup. He eats without saying a word. Fly, showing a bit of gobbling.

Yu Wenxian looked sad and couldn't help but said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Shen Qiao: "Since Yu Wenyun is such a person, could it be that the late emperor didn't notice it when he was in power?"

He had also met Yu Wenyong once, but the other party was really not such a faint-hearted person.

Su Wei remembered that he hadn't introduced Shen Qiao yet, so he said to Yu Wenxian, "His Royal Highness King Qi, this is Taoist Shen from Xuandu Mountain."

Yu Wenxian sighed: "Daochang Shen doesn't know anything. When the late emperor was alive, he was very strict with the prince. Because he knew that the prince was addicted to alcohol, he didn't even allow half a drop of alcohol to appear in the East Palace. You have to endure hard."

Needless to say, Shen Qiao already understood.

Yu Wenyun has been suppressed for too long, and his temperament is inevitably deviated, becoming tyrannical and easy to kill, but his father is in his prime, and he doesn't know when he will be able to take the throne, so he can't wait to start.

As for Yu Wenyong, even as a prince, whether he could harm Yu Wenyong with his own power, it would be useless to get to the bottom of it now. Yuwenyong banned Buddhism and banned Taoism, destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was preparing to fight with the Turks. There were enemies all over the world, and many people were willing to cooperate with Yuwenyong. Just one queen, the Ashina family, who was close to the water tower, had many more opportunities than others. .

Shen Qiao suddenly remembered Yan Wushi. His previous evaluation of Yu Wenyun and his judgment on the Northern Zhou Dynasty Bureau were now realized one by one.

Thinking of the scene in the small temple, his heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath and force it down.

"I heard from outside the city that Yuwen Yun is doing a lot of construction projects, building palaces, and arresting many people who have made comments from Shangshu?"

He was not a commoner of the Zhou Dynasty, and because Yu Wenyun was indeed unpopular, no one felt inappropriate to call him by his first name at this time.

Su Wei: "This is a long story. After the death of the late emperor, according to the etiquette system, the mourning should have been kept for more than a month, but Your Majesty only kept it for about ten days, and then ordered to remove the uniform. Following filial piety, His Majesty said that the ancestors of the Yuwen clan were from Xianbei, and there was no need to follow the etiquette of the Han family, and there was no need for ministers to talk nonsense about the affairs of the heavenly family. Release Beijing."

Yu Wenxian continued: "Your Majesty thinks that the palace where he lives now is too small and has no heavenly style, so he needs to rebuild the palace and build a garden outside the palace for the royal hunting and rest. Before the imperial court attacked Qi, it would have been a waste of time. With little manpower and financial resources, the late emperor refused to increase taxes on the common people, so he confiscated all the property from the Qi Palace into the national treasury, who would have thought that after His Majesty ascended the throne, the property would be transferred out and transferred to the inner treasury..."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly: "Many people were sparse because of this, and they were suppressed by His Majesty."

Shen Qiao frowned: "Tiger father and dog son, what a pity!"

Zhou Dynasty saw the prosperity of the country, could it really be ruined in the hands of this son?

Yu Wenxian shook his head: "The Taoist master is devoted to martial arts, and he may not have a good understanding of the intrigue between the court and the court. Your Majesty's move is obviously to use money for his own use, but in fact it is to exclude dissidents and try to find out who is truly loyal. His people. Those who are nostalgic for the late emperor, or who are unwilling to follow His Majesty wholeheartedly, he naturally has to do it first, so as not to leave future troubles. After all, His Majesty has been a prince for many years.

Su Wei said coldly: "Yeah, I don't know anything about running a country, and eradicating dissidents is self-taught, so His Royal Highness King Qi has to run to me to avoid disaster!"

Yu Wenxian smiled bitterly.

Thinking of what Yan Wushi once said to help Yu Wenxian, Shen Qiao said: "Forgive the poor and bluntly, it has been said since ancient times, there is more help if you get the way, and there is little help if you lose the way. It will be broken along with it, and now that the state of Qi has just been incorporated into the territory, the foundation is still unstable, the Turks are eyeing and waiting for opportunities, and His Royal Highness King Qi is known for his prestige..."

Yu Wenxian made a gesture, he did not pretend to be frightened and confused, but looked sad: "I know what Daochang Shen wants to say, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he took back all the military power in my hands, and ordered people to monitor my house day and night, and take me to the throne. The whole family is under house arrest in the house, not to mention that the late emperor was very kind to me, I don't have that kind of intention at all. If I really want to do something wrong, wouldn't it be his intention to let him detain me as a messenger and thief. infamy?"

Su Wei: "Daochang Shen didn't know anything. After the death of the late emperor, His Majesty lifted the prohibition of the late Emperor one by one, and once again appointed Zen Master Xueting as the national teacher. Now the concubine Yuan Gui, who is next to His Majesty, is also a lay disciple of Zen Master Xueting."

With Xueting, the big Buddha in charge, it is basically impossible to eliminate Yu Wenyun through assassination, and if it is clear, Yu Wenxian doesn't have much advantage, and he himself is not willing to make a big deal about it.

Dou Yan had finished eating the noodles long ago, and his face returned to blood, and he was listening carefully to what they had to say.

Yu Wenxian smiled when he saw this: "The Taoist priest sent Ayan here, but I haven't thanked you yet."

Shen Qiao: "It's just a matter of raising a hand, King Qi doesn't have to worry about it."

Yu Wenxian: "The Taoist priest is here in Chang'an, but what's the important thing?"

Shen Qiao: "I was entrusted by my old friend. I wanted to come to Beijing to check on the emperor's well-being, but who knows it's still a step too late."

Yu Wenxian: "The old friend you are talking about is Master Yan?"

Shen Qiao: "Exactly. Sect Master Yan had expected that the capital might experience a sudden change when he was under heavy siege. He once told me that if anything happened to the late emperor, he would come to King Qi."

Yu Wenxian smiled bitterly: "I understand what Sect Master Yan means, but he thinks highly of me. Now that I have little military power left, what's the point of fighting other than bloodshed and killing innocent people in vain?"

Su Wei disagreed and said, "Then your Highness can't just sit still like this? You have led the army for many years, and you have a great prestige in the army. Even if you don't have the military power at this time, as long as you climb up and shout, there will still be many people who are willing to respond. There may not be room to turn around.”

Yuwenxian said angrily: "If Yuwenyun threatens my family, what can I do? Can I disregard their lives and still want to ascend to the throne? So what is the difference between me and Yuwenyun? If the name is not right, the words are not right. Yu Wenyun is the king who succeeded the throne. Even if he did such a thing to the late emperor, how many people would know? Take Yu Wenyun and retreat calmly. At that time, they will be the king of the territory, and the Zhou Dynasty will be in civil strife, and the great situation of finally reunifying the north will be gone. This is all my brothers and I have worked hard for these years. , how can I watch myself become the sinner who indirectly caused the turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty?"

Solvay was silent.

Dou Yan seemed to understand, tears filled his eyes, and he was about to cry.

Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Some people are destined to be kind and soft -hearted, which has nothing to do with whether there are kills or how many people have been killed. In the troubled times, this temperament is destined to be a hero, so even if Yu Wenxian knows how to do it, he can't do it.

"Fearless, you have never wanted to add more with the clan. The reason why I have a private relationship with me is not because I am different from those clan that I don't want to do things. Is it on the road? "

Su Wei sighed and worshiped: "I am out of words, and please don't blame His Royal Highness!"

Yu Wenxian supported him: "You are the most known to me. Others say that I am rich and can use soldiers, galloping the battlefield and killing countless enemies. If I can choose, from the beginning, I am unwilling to find a mountain and clear water. Local, bring a family of old and young, raising flowers and grass, that is the bliss in life! "

But now, Qi Wang, who is making people, can only hide here.

When Yu Wenxian saw everyone sad, he asked Shen Yan actively: "What is the plan to do now?"

Shen Yan thought about it: "I don't know that King Qi knows the whereabouts of the edge of plums?"

Yu Wenxian shook his head: "After the Emperor's death, the border house went to the building overnight, and no one knew where they went. I thought it was the border brother who had had a disaster today, so he avoided it early. He is much better than me. "

Su Wei: "If Shen Daochang does not dislike it, he will live in Sufu first. On the same day, you have grace on my Su family, and his mother often remember it. Take your mother and brother to meet you. "

Now that Yu Wenzheng is dead, the edge of the edge is not seen. Although he wants to find Yan Wushi as soon as possible, he does not know where he should go to find it. He can only ask the movement of the Yueyuezong or Huan Huanzong slowly, and Chang'an is in all directions. The news is obviously more spiritual than elsewhere, and it is also a choice to live here for the time being.

Thinking about this, Shen Yan said: "Then I am annoying Meiyang County."

Su Wei laughed: "You don't have to see it, just call me fearless."

Several people were talking, and there was a knock on the door. Su Wei went to open the door, and saw the daughter -in -law standing outside: "Lang Jun, two people came to the back door, one, one, and one small. Calling Yan Ying, saying that he brought Xiao Langjun of Qi Wang's Mansion, and wanted to see His Royal Highness Qi. "

Su Wei frowned: "How can they know that King Qi is here?"

Yu Wenxian said: "Is it Yan Ying? He is indeed my arms in the army. Perhaps the princess told him that he took him to come here to avoid it, let them come in first, and I went out to see each other. ","

Suwei took them out of the study from the original secretary and came to the flower hall.

The maid hurriedly passed on. After a moment, a young man in his arms followed behind the maid.

Yu Wenxian was shocked and happy: "Yan Ying! Are you brought Qilang?"

The other party kneeling down, tears in tears: "His Royal Highness, you want to be shy!"

Yu Wenxian said: "Get up, get up! The man has tears and does not bounce lightly, what are you doing, get up!"

He picked up the child in Yan Ying's arms, and the latter held Yu Wenxian's face, carefully looked at it for a while, and jumped out: "Ah, you are thin."

Yu Wenxian hugged him tightly, and after a while, let's let go: "How can you find here?"

Yan Ying: "After your disappearance of His Royal Highness, Beijing -Chinese rumors have said that you are Yu Wenzheng ..."

Half of the words, I reluctantly changed their mouths under Yu Wenxian's stare: "I was placed under house arrest by the emperor, and Qi Wangfu was surrounded by a few days. What dare to do, Wei Yan said, in case Qi Wangfu, let me go to the princess first, ask your whereabouts, and then bring the Xiaolangjun one by one and send it to a safe place to avoid the emperor What do you do when you are angry! "

Yu Wenxian: "So the princess asked you to take Qilang out?"

Yan Ying: "Yes, the princess said that Qiro was the youngest and had not yet been scored. Even if there was anything, it was not easy to be found. Let the subordinates bring Qilang to see you."

His princess was even the worst situation. Yu Wenxian heard soreness and could only hold the child in his arms.

Su Wei looked dignified: "You said, Wei Yan suggested that you do this? Then you have found someone tracking with Qilang?"

Yan Ying thought hard: "There should be no, I am careful ..."

Just said this, Shen Yan's expression changed, and he stood up.

Others can't help but notice: "Shen Daochang?"

Shen Yan: "Many soldiers are running here!"

The crowd changed sharply, and Suwei said, "Quick, go into the dark room!"

Yu Wenxian said: "It's too late, the other party must follow Yan Ying, surround the Su family, and the intention will be exhausted.

Yan Ying patted his thigh: "Is it because Wei Xiana's Bastu Dan deliberately asked me to find the princess. It is expected that the princess will trust me, say your whereabouts, and then follow me?"

During the speaking, the brigade's horses had arrived outside the Su family, and the door was loud and fierce, and even everyone in the flower hall could be heard.

The housekeeper of Su Fu came over and reported: "Master, it's not good, there are many people outside, saying that he is ordered to be the order of his Majesty, and come to arrest King Qi. If we do n’t open the door, we will rush in. What can I do? ! ""

Yu Wenxian sighed: "It is blessing or a disaster, but the disaster cannot be dodged. It seems that I am destined to run away. You go to open the house door. I just follow them. Do not make them hurt the people of the Su family!"

Suwine: "Where to go! Even if you can't go out, the crime of wrapped in the hidden bags of my Su Jiawo can't run away. Why should you hide so much? You go to hide it first. The Su family was dismantled! "

"It seems that Meiyang County is not in his eyes at all, and he would rather hide the crime of Qin, and the whole family is coming!"

A few people such as Suwei and others have no internal skills.

Among these people who came in, they first had Yu Wenqing, who had been to Chen Guo with Shen Yan, but the person who spoke was not him, but the person behind him.

This person Shen Yan is no stranger. The other party met Shen Yan, but he was surprised by slightly, and immediately laughed: "Shen Daochang, wherever he meets, why can you meet you wherever you meet?"

"Murong Qin." Shen Yan called out his name and said faintly, "Is Chen Gong okay?"

Murong Qin laughed: "Naturally, it is excellent. I forgot to talk to Shen Dao. My master's public dedication to Da Ajian had meritoriousness, and His Majesty had been named Zhao Guogong."
