Acting in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Dou Jiande, who originally proclaimed himself the King of Xia and rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, took the lead and rushed to the palace under the banner of avenging Yang Guang. Several confrontations forced Yu Wenhuaji to retreat in a row. Finally, when he wanted to abandon the city and flee He was captured and sent to prison.

After Dou Jiande entered the city, he dressed neatly and went to meet Empress Xiao. At that time, Qionghua really felt that Xiao's love for power and wealth, besides the personality setting, had true feelings for Yang Guang.This woman calmly looked at Dou Jiande, who appeared to be respectful and professed as a minister, but her eyes were full of all kinds of desires. The only request she made was, "Yu Wenhuaji's head."

Of course, Dou Jiande has not yet become obedient to Xiao's words. On the one hand, he fully agrees, but on the other hand, he delays this matter again and again: Yuwen Chengdu's father, wife and daughter are all in his hands, which is worse than controlling one-third of the world. It makes people happy, not to mention that he doesn't have a third of the world yet.

At that time, Yu Wenhuaji's first thing after forcing Yang Guang to death was to find Yuxi; Dou Jiande caught Yu Wenhuaji, and after a brief chat with Queen Xiao, he also asked Yuxi where.On such a crucial matter, of course, there is also the matter of the Wagang Protagonist Group. The lucky general Cheng Yaojin, who has no rules at all but always works miraculously, accidentally discovered the tunnel leading to the outside world from the palace, took advantage of the chaos and took away the jade seal. , Let Li Mi, who has been attacking Luoyang for a long time and has not gone down to Yangzhou, have enough capital to negotiate with Dou Jiande.

However, Li Mi sent Wang Bodang, Luo Cheng and others to go to the city to discuss things seriously, and it was not the status of the city that they wanted to exchange for Yuxi, but Empress Xiao.Xiao Shi is more determined to increase Dou Jiande's weight, and she wants Yu Wenhua's head.

"Maybe you may not be able to listen to it, but Li Mi is not a good match." After finally coaxing Yu Wenjin to sleep, Qionghua and Xiao Meiniang went out from the back room.She guessed that as early as when Li Mi was an official in the court, Xiao had cast a net on him because of the prophecy of "Li Blossoms", and now it seems that it is time to harvest.But in fact, this bet was wrong.

Xiao Meiniang simply smiled and asked, "Why?"

"When Wagang was first established, Li Mi never made any effort. It was Cheng Yaojin who was able to sit on the throne of Caomang Emperor himself. Shan Xiong believes that their face makes him the so-called emperor. Most of the people in Wagang have deep hatred at home and the court, can they tolerate you?" Qionghua knew that she thought she was standing in the perspective of sister-in-law and wanted to let you go. She guarded the dilapidated Yang family, but she didn't make any excuses. She bluntly analyzed the pros and cons for her, "Exchanging jade seals for beauties, my brother may not even do such a ridiculous thing. Qin Qiong Shanxiong believes that even if they can bear it for a while After a long time, there will always be dissatisfaction, and when the time comes, everyone will betray their relatives, and having nothing is just a trivial matter."

Xiao Meiniang didn't think so, "Li Mi should always have his own means, so he can't rely on Qin Qiong and the others for everything."

"Even so, how do you feel that reckless people like Shan Xiongxin and the others will not offend you when they leave Wagang? How do you feel that Li Mi will treat you as before after losing several generals and half of the country?"

Under Qionghua's rhetorical question, Xiao was speechless for a while.Suddenly, a child stumbled in from outside the door, yelling that someone wanted to kill him. This child was Yuwen Zen Master, the child of Princess Nanyang and Yuwen Shiji.I have already said that the seniority of their family is very strange. Yuwen Shiji is Yu Wenhuaji’s younger brother, even if he is much younger than Yuwen Chengdu, the uncle’s seniority is there; and Yang Su is Qionghua’s niece... ...Of course, the focus now is not seniority, but Yuwenshiji and Yang Su can be regarded as a loving couple in the eyes of others. After Yu Wenhuaji forced Yang Guang to commit suicide, the couple had no other plans, but now that Yu Wenhuaji was captured by Dou Jiande Seeing that the situation was not right, the scholars and classmates fled wittily, the kind of fleeing where they disappeared without discussing with their wives and children.What's more important is that now the people of Dou's family say that their little Maotou Zen Master Yuwen is a rebel, and they want to rectify the law as an example to others.

Dou Ziyi, Dou Jiande's adopted son, was in charge of handling this matter.Dou Jiande had only one daughter, Dou Xianniang, and he raised his elder brother's son as his own, as if he were his own.After Dou Jiande entered the city, they had a lot of contact with this person because of some etiquette handover.

The Prince Xia watched the child flee behind the two of them, and argued rationally, "Zen Master Yuwen is still a male of the Yuwen family no matter how young he is. Princess Nanyang understands the righteousness and has already agreed to cut love from the law. Please let the queen and the eldest princess Hand him over to obey the law."

In history, Princess Nanyang was the daughter of Empress Xiao. Obviously, there is no half-money relationship here. Xiao's attitude seems to be a bit of a spectator. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be chased and killed today."

Qionghua guarded Zen Master Yuwen behind her, stopped Dou Ziyi and said, "Is it the meaning of King Xia to ask a child with not yet full teeth to die in accordance with the law?"

"My father really intended to spare the young son's life, but Princess Nanyang insisted on exterminating his relatives righteously." The prince of the Dou family is not a vicious person, and his words are well-founded.

But in fact, this sentence does not make sense, Zen Master Yuwen is Yang Su's own son, even if she hated Yuwen Shi and left their mother and son alone, she would not send her son to die.The so-called Princess Nanyang's righteous killing of relatives is nothing more than Dou's family's soft words forcing her to agree.After all, now that the real power is in their hands, the Yang family is just carrying an empty name.

"This child is the late emperor's grandson, and he has the late emperor's blood on his body. What if we insist on protecting this child because of this personal affair?" Qionghua refused to follow his routine of destroying relatives righteously, and dropped this sentence Let's go.We kept talking, and by the way, Xiao Shi was also involved in this matter.

Dou Ziyi was stunned for a while, then finally backed away and said, "Of course we should follow your order and keep this child."

Turkic Ketun, Princess Yicheng Yang Shu of the Sui Dynasty wrote a letter to Xia Wang Dou Jiande to ask for the family members of the Sui Emperor.

"My son thinks that neither party can be offended. Why don't you hand over Empress Xiao to Turkic Ketun at the request of Turkic, and then truthfully tell Li Mi that Turkic is asking for it, and let them make a fuss." Dou Ziyi suggested.

"The war in Tuyuhun will end one day, if Yu Wencheng retreats completely by then, I'm afraid it will be another difficult task." But Dou Jiande was hesitant because of this matter.

"It's not hard to say. Yuwen Chengdu has always been a self-proclaimed loyal to the country. What Yu Wenhuaji did was disloyalty and unrighteousness. In the name of the Sui Emperor's family, the Yang family clan dealt with him, let Yu Wencheng is in a dilemma."

"Why is this so? Give Yuhuahuaji to the Turkic people. Life and death are decided by them. Let's pick it up and clean it." Dou Jiande pondered for a moment, thinking that according to his son's way of thinking, it was the right way to do things.

"My son is really selfish. My father will use the name of the new king to order the world in the future. If there is a royal elder who belongs to our family, everything will go well. I just feel that the eldest princess's temperament and appearance are in line with my wishes." Dou Ziyi suddenly knelt down with a plop, and said calmly, "Zhan Master Yuwen is an ignorant child, so he let it go if he let it go. But Yu Wenhua and his crimes are extremely heinous, so he deserves to die. In the name of the Sui royal family, let the eldest princess come forward and execute him personally." Without him, it is impossible for her and Yuwen Chengdu to be separated by so much hatred. Breaking her connection with Yuwen Chengdu is the son's selfishness. More importantly, Yuwen Chengdu has always boasted loyalty and filial piety, and the Sui Dynasty died in the At the hands of my father, the wife and family with children executed my father out of righteousness, no matter how heroic I am, I’m afraid I can’t bear such a blow. What’s more, now that no one cares about the border, sooner or later there will be a day when ammunition and food will run out.”

"This..." Dou Jiande stroked his beard, still considering the pros and cons.

Zen Master Yuwen was at an age that only knew how to have fun. After escaping death, he went to play hide-and-seek with Yu Wenjin, who didn't know whether he was his niece or aunt in terms of seniority.After Yang Su got it back, he still had lingering fears. He always stared at the child, and he was reluctant to let go of him for a moment.

"It's said that being a mother is tough. It's good for you to send your son out to be slaughtered." Although Qionghua knew that she was being forced, she still couldn't hold back a few words.In fact, Dou Jiande still has to use the banner of the Yang family to do things, so he won't tear his face in the open, be tough, saving a child is not very difficult.

"Auntie should also know that with our identities, everything has been arranged and planned since we were young, and we don't know what worry and fear are. But these days, I have experienced both ups and downs." Yang Su Wiping tears beside the pillars in the courtyard, he said gratefully, "If it wasn't for my aunt who saved this child, I'm afraid I wouldn't have any interest in living."

"It's all over." Qionghua thought for a while, and then said, "Even if you don't have children, you should still live for yourself."

Yang Su gave a wry smile, but he still couldn't make it through.But he also knew the seriousness, and said with concern: "I heard that when this matter happened, King Xia actually wanted to connect his adopted son and aunt. I don't know what to think."

"The emperor he wants to establish must be your father's descendants, and he wants to use my seniority in the royal family as a check." Although she can think of what is going on, after so many things have happened, Qionghua has no idea whether she can do it or not. Let this end normally.

When she rescued Shan Yingying back then, she had the foresight to tell Luo Cheng about repaying the favor.This time, Luo Cheng, who obviously didn't agree with Li Mi's desire for Empress Xiao, took the initiative to follow Wang Bodang to discuss matters with Dou Jiande, and happened to meet up.

She asked Luo Cheng if he still remembered that he owed her life for saving Shan Yingying, and now he wants to pay it back: save Yu Wenhuaji.

It's not that Yu Wenhuaji can't die, it's just that she can't be manipulated to die in her hands.

Yangzhou's death row "brings out a large number of talents", in addition to Yu Wenhuaji, there is also an acquaintance Ma Shumou.Originally, he was imprisoned only because he failed to supervise the building of the canal. As a result, the wall collapsed and everyone pushed him. He was jointly reported by the local people for using his position to traffic people for violence, and even cooked children in pursuit of immortality. Sentenced to be cut in half, it can be regarded as one of the few good things Yang Guang did.Of course, as Yang Guang went to Xitian by himself, the execution was put on hold.After Yu Wenhuaji and Dou Jiande came to power one after another, they didn't bother to care about such an insignificant person, so the guards in the prison resented him for being domineering and domineering on weekdays, and added several punishments every day, which made him aphasia and decadent.

Yu Wenjin is a good age for remembering people, or it may be due to blood relationship, and she has a natural closeness to Yu Wenhua.Earlier, she refused to eat or sleep and clamored to see her grandfather. Qionghua had no choice but to bring her to the sky prison. After learning about Uncle Ma’s imprisonment, she had seen him with her own eyes. Staring at the child and drooling, it scared Yu Wenjin enough, it was really vicious.

Now although Dou Jiande has never proclaimed himself emperor, he still follows the orthodoxy of the Yang family, but in fact he is very strict with the clan. Now with the help of experts, it is not difficult to implement the plan. It is nothing more than a civet cat for the prince.A small fire caused Ma Shumou, who had already been insane, to successfully disappear from the prison. In the chaos, the prison boss confirmed that the real felon Yu Wenhuaji was still in the prison, and then he personally sent a group of people. I went out to search for Uncle Ma, but couldn't find it. Instead, I met Luo Cheng, a melon-eating passer-by who had frequented contacts with King Xia to discuss peace talks. With his kind suggestion, he simply reported Uncle Ma's death and threw away the mess Bury the post, so as not to be held accountable in this eventful autumn, and harm yourself.

"The reason why Yu Wenhuaji was not directly rescued is to give an explanation to the people of the world. If you still have to act in such a scene of killing relatives righteously, and then write to Yuwen Chengdu to tell the whole story, Your Highness is really well-intentioned." Luo Cheng said through the Wagang envoy It is quite convenient to enter the palace under the name of the head, and he reported that he had arranged for Uncle Ma to settle in a certain place, and he even lamented that Qionghua was very affectionate.However, he still has some concerns, "If this matter is exposed, there may not be any good results."

Qionghua glanced at the servants of the palace who were standing far away. While placing the tea sets, she whispered frankly in a voice they couldn't hear, "No matter what the result is, at least I tried my best."

Forget it, Luo Cheng was relieved to finally have the chance to repay the favor.He also asked with concern: "Yangzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, after this matter is over, how are you going to prepare?

"Turkic Kedun is the elder sister of the clan. She has the right to hide there for a period of time, and the Dou family and his son will not refuse to let her go." The temporary place to retreat is something that should have been considered long ago.On the premise that she can't change the general environment, she can only clarify the temporary details step by step.Dou Jiande suppressed a lot of words in the open and in the dark, wanting to marry his adoptive son, and the Princess Xia took the seven aunts and eight aunts to test whether she really wanted to steal her husband. There is always an end to the day.

"The cousin sister-in-law is also the cousin of His Highness. If it weren't for the fact that Wagang is only supported by brotherhood, it would be a temporary place to stay." Luo Cheng couldn't help sighing. It's not difficult for Jin to take it with him. He doesn't have to go outside the Great Wall and leave his hometown. If he is in the Central Plains, he will have a better chance of reuniting with Yuwen Chengdu in the future.But thinking of the variables that exist in Wagang today, I can't say this anymore.

"If Li Mi still behaves like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later the brotherhood will be broken, and Wagang will fall apart. It's time for you and Second Brother Qin to make plans."

"The Li family in Taiyuan is indeed recruiting, but my cousin is too affectionate. First, I can't bear to leave Wagang, who is full of blood; second, seeing Shan Wuge and the Li family have a deep blood feud that cannot be resolved, so I always It’s hesitating.” Luo Cheng has a clear view of the matter, and now he stays in Wagang just because Qin Qiong is still in Wagang.

Seeing that the topic was heavy, Qionghua felt like she couldn't continue the conversation, so she had to find another way to talk, "There are rumors in the world that the previous case of the King of Peking has come to fruition, and the princess has searched for famous doctors to cure Jiang's eyes. Now the two are as good as one person. It's like, shopping together all day to enjoy the flowers, ignoring your father. You and Miss Yingying should be settled, right?"

A few years ago, Luo Cheng's identity was exposed, and Yang Guang sent someone to Beiping to destroy Luo's family. Of course, because Shan Yingying conveyed Qionghua's entrustment, Luo Cheng had already brought his family to Beijing. The Wagang reunion caused no tragedy.However, Luo Cheng and Shan Yingying were wiped out because of Shan's family, Shan girl was determined not to take revenge and not get married, and the affairs of Luo's family and seniors were also delayed.

"I hope everything will go well." Luo Cheng nodded, wishing everyone well.
