Three anecdotes

As soon as Yu Zhongyu entered the Qifeng Pavilion, he knelt down and cried, kneeling resolutely, and crying so much.

Shang Chengbi got up himself, went down to help him up, Yu Zhongyu's eyes were red, "Your Majesty, my Yu family is full of loyalty, fighting with Xiangli unyielding, dying righteously, there are still people who want to ruin his reputation, it is really hard work!" Dangerous!"

Shang Chengbi just said, "Give me a seat for my grandfather."

"Your Majesty!" Yu Zhongyu wanted to kneel again.He was picked up by Shang Chengbi and pressed onto the couch.Then, Shang Chengbi said something that made the Yu family unable to sit still, "Of course I believe in the loyalty of my great-grandfather and grandfather, but I also want to know why the people of Hefu are so solid after Tongxiang entered the city. Abandon the city and flee."

Yu Zhongyu knelt down again.This time, Shang Chengbi didn't help, and then, a secret folder was handed to him.

Yu Zhongyu didn't dare to answer, so Shang Chengbi just said, "Look!"

It is clearly written in the secret booklet that Jingkang had continuously strengthened the city defenses and built fortresses, but after a secret discussion with Yu Tongxiang, he hurriedly ordered the city to retreat, leaving only [-] warriors to die for the country.The zhezi only stated the facts without a word of judgment, but what was frightening was a seal on the secret zhezi, which was a rubbing of a small knife about an inch long, and it was the emblem of the Yu family.

After Yu Zhongyu finished reading the secret book, even his complexion changed, so he had no choice but to bow down and kowtow, "The minister's family is utterly loyal, please learn from me."

Shang Chengbi sighed softly, "The Yu family is not only loyal to me, but also kind."

He was never someone who would invite people to buy people's hearts. After saying such a sentence, cold sweat dripped from Yu Zhongyu's neck. He was never the only one who would wholeheartedly serve his lord. Who would dare to talk about kindness with the emperor.

Shang Chengbi went on to say, "I also value this child Tongxiang very much, so I also entrusted the Luan Guard to him."

Yu Zhongyu kowtowed again, "The boy is incompetent." He would rather admit incompetence than rebellion.

"It's a pity, heaven is jealous of talents." Shang Chengbi sighed, and immediately ordered, "I will pass on my will, and the guards will go to Tongxiang to fight against the enemy and serve the country. Fight hard and sacrifice, so as not to fall into the prestige of the ancestors. Two, posthumous name Gong."

Based on Yu Tongxiang's seniority, it must be said that he was honored after his death. Yu Zhongyu thought that he would be punished for entering the palace this time, but he didn't expect that Shang Chengbi would give him such a great favor, so he kowtowed immediately Thank you, "The boy is incompetent and has not been able to solve the crisis in Yanzhou. How can he be worthy of the emperor's special favor."

Shang Chengbi just said, "Cardinal Jin has been planning for many years, and he is scheming, how can Tong Xiang be his opponent. I originally planned to keep him, and he will be my thigh in the future, but it's a pity—" When he said this, he stopped, and turned back. He ordered, "Great-grandfather, the old man, has always valued this great-great-grandson. Now that a white-haired man sends a black-haired man, I don't know how sad it is. Originally, I was thinking of Cheng Anhou's achievements, and I didn't want him to be empty behind him, but I didn't want to. The fate of the pulse is so bad, since Tong Xiang has gone, I originally let him inherit the title of Marquis of Cheng An, and in the future I will choose another son and nephew as his successor, which can be regarded as an explanation to my great-grandfather."

Yu Zhongyu thanked him again, "The emperor is so kind, and the family of the servants will be deeply grateful and swear allegiance to the death."

Shang Chengbi nodded lightly, "It's also fate. The emperor's uncle only accepted such a personal disciple after he was over forty years old, but his fate is so bad. You should tell the emperor my arrangement so that he doesn't worry about it on the front line." .”

Yu Zhongyu clenched his fists and could only say yes.

Due to Shang Chengbi's will, although Yu Tongxiang is not considered to be honored, he is definitely mourned for death. Yu's family has more heroes who died in the battle, and Shang Chengbi ordered him to inherit the title of Marquis of Cheng'an. In addition, titles and posthumous titles were granted, and the specifications of funerals increased even more.

As the disciple of King Jingbian, although Yu Tongxiang was humble and not honorable, Shang Yuhan was on the front line and was not allowed to come to offer sacrifices, but Feng Xing stayed in Jing'an. However, at Tongxiang's funeral, everyone saw it clearly, Although Feng Xing served him with great merit, Yu Tongxiang didn't take the lead in important matters, and Yu's family did not treat him with the courtesy they should have towards relatives. Everyone knows that Cardinal Jin is not a Yu Tongxiang who can handle it Yes, with King Jingbian's ability to use soldiers, how could he not know, and because of this, Fengxing was in a very embarrassing situation at the funeral.It's just that he behaves politely everywhere, neither humble nor overbearing, which makes him even more extravagant.

Yu's family is a foreign relative. Although the queen is no longer there, Shang Chengbi has publicly declared that he will no longer be a queen. What's more, there are rumors in the city about Yu Tongxiang's collusion with the enemy, and Shang Chengbi even bestowed such a grand funeral. It can be seen that Yu's family is still favored and rich, so Yu Tongxiang's funeral was full of crowns and hats, and there were many visitors. Everyone admired the unabashed demeanor of Young Master Ying, and they couldn't help but compliment each other, "It really deserves it." He is the son of King Jingbian." Others' funerals made him famous.

On that day, Fengxing set up a road sacrifice in the name of King Jingbian, and the courteous response was thoughtful. Everyone saw that he handled such an important matter at such a young age, and he was well-behaved, so they couldn't help but take a higher look. His attitude changed again.Feng Xing, however, no matter whether Yu Jia treats him with supercilious eyes, indifference, or closeness, he always abides by his etiquette and is impeccable.

When Shang Chengbi heard about the Yu family's attitude, he nodded slightly, summoned Guo Tong, the commander of the Luan Imperial Guard, and issued a secret order, "Before the news of King Jingbian's success comes, I will first send his son's funeral. Report to the past."

Guo Tong was startled, and Shang Chengbi raised his gaze from the map.

Since Guo Tong has become the commander of the Luan Guards, he is naturally not an idler. He has never questioned Shang Chengbi's orders, and it is the same now.

Shang Chengbi lowered his head and continued to look at the map, but he sighed, "King Jingbian sent the Yu family's son to die, and the Yu family couldn't protect his son. It's a coincidence."

After receiving the secret order, the Ziluan guards were looking for opportunities, but Shang Chengbi's order was not only to let Feng Xing die, but also to let him die at home, which was more difficult.What's more, Shang Quhan attaches great importance to this son. During this expedition, Shang Chengbi took Fengxing as a hostage, and Shang Quhan actually kept all his Gale Wind 28 riders. What's more, Fengxing doesn't usually live in Jing Bian Wang's original palace was living in the old house in Leng Sanyue Lane, Weijin, and he wanted to kill his nephew from under the eyes of this stable Xin Yangzi, even if he was a Luan guard who was used to assassination. .

Fortunately, they finally waited for an opening.

Rui Yu, the old Duke of the Yu family, actually wanted to meet this Young Master Ying. After Guo Tong got the news, he knew that this was his only chance. Knowing that Zhao Wenlin nodded, suddenly two men in black floated down from behind the swallow's nest in the corner of the house.

Guo Tongdao, "Marquis Cheng An will work with us for a short period of time, but after all, there is a meaning of robes. Now, you and I should do our best."

Therefore, Zhao Wenlin presented a very simple and elegant black lacquer box.

Luan Guards who made meritorious deeds and died for the country are all proud to be buried with golden scabbards after death. In addition, the summit gave him the flying mallard uniform for his first meritorious service. There are a large number of Luan guards, and not everyone has a flying mallard uniform. Those who are eligible to wear it, but if they die for their country, they will get one.Yu Tongxiang was from the third rank at the time, so he was naturally qualified to wear an embroidered golden knife and a flying fufu uniform, but he was not strictly a guard of Luan, and his posthumous affairs naturally did not have such honors.Guo Tong didn't even go to his funeral, which was full of crowns, and only sent Zhao Wenlin and another acquaintance there. Now, since he wants to come to the door in person, he should find a reason.

Zhao Wenlin bowed and asked, "The commander wants to go in person?"

The Commander of Luan Guards, the true confidant of the emperor, the moment he moves, the situation changes, and he has never been taken lightly.

Guo Tong didn't speak, but took off his embroidered gold knife, handed it to Zhao Wenlin, took the box, turned around and left, and the two men in black immediately followed.

Zhao Wenlin knew that Guo Tong had put life and death on the back of his mind when he left. In fact, from the moment he received this order, he was dead. Not to mention Shang Conghuan was taught by a famous teacher when he was young. What is remarkable is that even if the mission is successful, the 40 King Jing army will not let the suspect go.Therefore, Zhao Wenlin didn't understand whether what the emperor wanted was Shang Conghuan's life or the commander's life.However, as soon as he entered the Luan Imperial Guard, he had no other way to go after death except to be loyal to the king.

But Feng Xing understood very well the reason why the son of a daughter can't sit down, he didn't go alone, Wei Jin Leng accompanied him to Yu's house.

Of course Feng Xing didn't dare to work with Third Martial Uncle Wei to be his bodyguard, although Wei Jin Leng had the intention of defending him, and there was no way to predict that he would be able to escort his nephew together, but Ding Guogong's family suddenly wanted to meet him, a master The young owner of the bank exchanged some bank notes. The old man had not cared about worldly affairs for a long time, so he naturally didn't need to come forward for such trivial matters, but he just passed on the word to invite Mr. Xin Yang to come with him.Considering his seniority, age, and the relationship between the elder brother and the Yu family, Wei Jinleng was naturally willing to accompany his nephew to this move.

In fact, Wei Jinleng knew very well that once Yu Tongxiang left, the covenant between the Yu family and King Jingbian would be broken.Nowadays, there are powerful enemies around outside. Cardinal Jin and He Lianxi are fierce tigers and hungry wolves. Of course, these two parties have blood feuds with Shang Quhan, and they have a deep relationship with Liang Zi of Yu's family, especially with the The Empress, Yu Wentai, and Yu Tongxiang had three lives. Secondly, the internal troublemaker was suspicious. Shang Chengbi sent Shang Quehan to suppress the rebellion, but left behind his son. The Yu family seemed to be favored and well-off. His death was too ambiguous, he had been in the middle palace for nine years, he had nothing to say, and he died unexpectedly. If it was said that Shang Chengbi had no precautions against his family, even Huangkou children would not believe it.Now, the two sides are facing the enemy, even if the right and wrong of Yu Tongxiang is caught in the middle, they have to let go of their calculations, repair the misunderstanding, and re-establish the alliance.

As we all know, among the three juniors of King Jingbian, Chu Yi is indifferent to worldly affairs, Jing Shanbo is too young, and what Shang Quhan really trusts and values ​​is this new Young Master Yangwei who is known as being as stable as Mount Tai. , Wei Jin came here coldly and in vain, it was the tacit understanding between King Jingbian and Yu's family.

Feng Xing and Wei Jin Leng rode together, Feng Xing whispered, "Actually, the third uncle doesn't need to go. Father left a message before leaving that the fifth generation of the Yu family will not fail, and it has its own ability. Whether it is an alliance or not, it doesn't matter It's cheap, don't force it."

Wei Jinleng just nodded, but didn't speak.He really didn't understand the intention of the elder brother. Since he accepted his apprentice, no matter what his aptitude or temperament, he should teach him well and help him become a talent. Why did he arrange for him to die? This is not an alliance, but an enmity.

Feng Xing judged his appearance and knew that the third uncle was unhappy, so he didn't dare to say any more. He just sat upright. When the car arrived at the Duke's mansion, Wei Jin gave him a cold look and said, "These days, I have wronged you."

His father killed someone else's son, but he had to support him at his funeral, so he was naturally wronged, but although Feng Xing was young, he had a firm temper, and said calmly, "Although there is some misunderstanding, but the whole government of the Duke's family is very kind to my nephew. "

Wei Jin glanced at him coldly, "In front of me, you don't have to be so tense all the time." In fact, he doesn't like Feng Xing who is getting more and more mature, especially after the incident with Yu Tongxiang, Wei Jin coldly understands that Yu Jiayuan's love for Feng Xing was very resentful, and suddenly changed his attitude. It was precisely because he saw the ambition of the elder brother in Feng Xing, Wei Jin frowned coldly, and Feng Xing immediately confessed, "My nephew knows it. It's just that I'm used to it." Fortunately, the third uncle loves me."

Wei Jinleng looked at him carefully again, and saw that he was sitting upright with a calm demeanor, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the elder brother taught his son so well, with such a demeanor, how can a border king who has no desires and desires be able to support him? from.Even a businessman like himself can see the difference in Fengxing, not to mention, ten years ago, the Yu family, who had a keen eye for knowledge and a lot of money, supported Shang Chengbi and raised a queen.

Wei Jinhan wondered if the Yu family wanted to produce another queen, but the Yu family was just watching.

Yu Zhongyu didn't understand why his father had to meet this Young Master Ying. Looking at his son, Yu Bingcheng deeply felt that he had to live longer, otherwise, how could the mediocrity of his children and grandchildren support the precarious Yu family? The building will fall.

On the contrary, Yu Wenyuan has been serving Gaozu on the sidelines, and he seems to have realized something, so Yu Bingcheng pointed at his great-great-grandson, "Tell me about it."

Yu Wenyuan said, "Wenyuan heard that Mr. Guo from the Luan Imperial Guard is also coming to visit you."

Guo Tong's post was directly sent to Yu Bingcheng. With Yu Bingcheng's status, not everyone can easily ask to see him. With Guo Tongluan's status as the commander of the imperial guards, he said that he would come to greet him. , it is not impolite.Yu Wenyuan has been serving by Bingcheng's side for these years, and he helped break up these invitations. Yu Zhongyu has other important things to do, so he doesn't know.

Hearing Yu Wenyuan's words, he frowned, "What is he here for?" Most of the Luan guards entered the door, killing people or ransacking their homes. So bad luck.

Yu Bingcheng didn't speak.

Yu Zhongyu looked at his grandson, "Say it."

Yu Wenyuan said, "The commander of the Luan Imperial Guard is only of the third grade. Although the official is not high, he has direct access to the sky. He is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and he has the right to do things cheaply. Such a person has never had friendship with our Yu family. Regarding the matter of uncle, it is enough for two acquaintances to come to express their condolences. How could the commander come in person? As soon as grandpa released the news that he wanted to see Shang Conghuan, the invitation letter from the Luan Imperial Guard arrived, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart .”

Yu Bingcheng showed admiration in his eyes. It seems that there is nothing wrong with bringing his great-great-grandson by his side to teach him for so many days, and letting him go to contact the courtiers.

Yu Zhongyu has been rolling around in the court since he heard Yu Wenyuan's words, and immediately understood very well, looking at his father and said, "You mean——Guo Tong to Shang Conghuan—" He was startled when he thought of this, "King Jingbian is still fighting Helianxi on the front line. If it is as we expected, won't the emperor be afraid of chilling the hearts of 40 soldiers?"

Yu Bingcheng remained silent and only gestured to Yu Wenyuan with his eyes.

Yu Wenyuan said, "It's not chilling, these 40 people are already not close to me, it's always good to be able to pluck out a piece of heart from others."

Having said that, I heard the report from the servants, saying that Commander Guo has already entered the door.Yu Bingcheng leaned back from the bed, ordered the curtains to be lowered, and ordered Yu Zhongyu to say, "Please command and send your lord to come into the inner room. I am old and old, so I won't get up to greet you."

It's like Zhongyu went out, but Yu Bingcheng taught Yu Wenyuan, "You can guess other people's intentions, although it is beneficial, but you should not be too complacent, especially in front of your grandfather, how can you talk endlessly and fail?" I have a respectful heart." He has always called his great-great-grandson here as a joke, so although his precepts and deeds have impressed his ears and eyes, he has never said such serious words. Now, seeing Yu's family declining, Yu Zhongyu and Yu Tongxun both Unbearable to use, so I pinned my hope on my great-great-grandson, and I hereby teach him strictly.

Yu Wenyuan was spoiled since he was a child, and he saw through things that his grandfather hadn't even guessed, so it was inevitable that he would get carried away. Being reminded by his grandfather, his face flushed with embarrassment, but he was a little bit unconvinced.

Yu Bingcheng could understand his great-great-grandson's heart just by looking at his face, thinking that he was getting old and the talents of the younger generations were withering, so he felt a little bit depressed.Therefore, when Guo Tong came in, he felt that the Dinghaishenzhen of this country and Yu family was really old.

Guo Tong first bowed respectfully to the old man and confessed his crime, and then he explained his intentions, "The emperor Long En ordered the Marquis to attack the noble, and Cheng'an Marquis Quan knew it, and his wish was fulfilled. These two things, the younger generation, should have come sooner rather than later." Here you go, but the Yu family is a loyal heir, followed the emperor Taizu to establish a foundation, and served the country for longer than the Luan guards set up the gate. It was a big event in the family, so how could they come to disturb, so I dare not come to the door, but I hope the old man will forgive me."

His words were polite, and Yu Bingcheng was also very polite, "Master Guo is serious."

Guo Tong presented the box, and continued, "It's just that Yu Qianshi sacrificed his life for his loyalty to the country, and he is the commander of the Luan Guards, but he dare not forget Yu Qian's contribution. Therefore, the golden scabbard and flying The clothes are brought together, one is the loyalty of the whole thing, the second is the friendship of the comrades, and the third is that I can meet with the old man and listen to your old man's teachings, which is also my blessing."

Guo Tong's status is so sensitive, even if the official position is not high, Yu Bingcheng will not neglect easily, just pressed his chest and coughed a few times, Yu Wenyuan quickly brought tea, and after drinking, he said, "I am old and frail, and I am already hanging on the tree. , I can talk to such a talented person as Mr. Guo, and I feel that I am not so old. Mr. Guo is so polite, how dare I be an old man." He coughed a few more times after he finished speaking.

Yu Wenyuan has been serving by his side, Guo Tong praised, "Young master is a young talent, and he is so filial, it is really rare."

Yu Bingcheng glanced at Yu Wenyuan, his eyes were very loving, "He said he was filial, but the old man is not humble. If he is a talent, how dare he be." When he said this, he immediately turned to the topic, "It's also a coincidence. King Jingbian's son and younger brother are coming soon. When it comes to young talents, these two deserve it. If the Commander has nothing to do, why don't you stay and have a meal together? Although old people are useless, but there are two young talents accompanying you, it's okay to think about it Not boring."

Guo Tong came here just for this purpose, how could he refuse, and immediately said, "I have heard that Prince Jingbian is a dragon among men, and Prince Xin Yangwei is also famous in the world, but it is a pity that these two, a long-time In the desert, a person who lives in seclusion in the rivers and lakes has no chance to know the thorns, if it is not in the mansion of the Duke, where there are outstanding people, how can I be blessed to meet the two high sages."

Having said that, both Yu Bingcheng and Guo Tong understood each other's meaning. Yu Bingcheng knew why he came, and Guo Tong didn't hide it. Firstly, the Yu family first neglected Shang Conghuan and then became courteous. The emperor thought that the Yu family was having an affair with King Jingbian, so he wanted the Yu family to show his loyalty. As for the Yu family, he was old and cunning, and neither side wanted to offend him. Cong Huandu made an appointment at the mansion, but Wei Jinleng was also invited. It seems that the Yu family also wanted to use their own hands to weigh in as King Jingbian.

Guo Tong said in his heart, the Yu family has been a general for five generations and has been in business for a hundred years, and has a lot of power in the army. If he falls into the hands of that Young Master Wei today, the emperor may not even be able to use this relative.Thinking of this, Guo Tong wanted to meet this famous Iron Fist Wei San even more.

Wei Jinleng didn't know that the fearsome commander of the Jinyiwei was also in Yufu, his carriage had just entered Xiangyang Street, and Yu Wenyuan came to greet Yu's house in person, and Wei Jinleng followed Yu Wenyuan into the main hall. After entering the door, he already smelled a murderous aura, he remained calm, and gave Fengxing a look, Fengxing also deeply felt that there was some unusual jitteriness in Yu's house today, so he paid attention, but his steps became more and more steady.

Guo Tongyou and Yu Zhongyu accompanied him to drink tea, and Qing Er could already hear the sound of a footstep, which seemed light but very heavy, clear but almost indistinguishable, like a tiger walking on the clouds, lifting weights as if they were light and unpredictable.Guo Tong thought, Wei Jin Leng is really not simple.He raised his head, wanting to take a closer look at this wealthy young man who is said to be more stable than his internal strength, but when he raised his head, his gaze was fixed on a teenager in his teens, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

There were three people who came in. Yu Wenyuan and Guo Tongshi had just met each other. Originally, the grandson of the Yu family was already a dragon and a phoenix, but the young man he accompanied was actually a dragon and a phoenix. , but the young man accompanying that young man was so extravagant that one couldn't help bowing down.His nobility is not the power and wealth, but a kind of honor that is cultivated in his bones. The world always says that the sky is noble, and the purple air comes from the east, but no one can tell where this nobleman is, and where the purple air is. from where.But I only looked at the young man in front of me, he was very young, although he was tall, he was not fully grown, his face was still childish, but it was hard to hide his elegance, he followed Wei Jinleng and bowed to Yu Zhongyu, His attitude is courteous, but he has the taste of a gentle and courteous corporal. Feng Xing and Shang Chengbi are cousins, and their faces are always somewhat similar. , faintly felt the atmosphere of the prosperous Xianjun.

Yu Zhongyu hadn't introduced Wei Jin Leng and Feng Xing to Guo Tong, but Mr. Wei suddenly cupped his fists against the corner, "The two brothers who are facing away from the corridor behind the screen, please put down the blue dark blue in your hands, and show up to see them." .”
