Chapter 144 The Second Emperor

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the warlord Yu Wentai supported the King of Nanyang as the emperor and established Chang'an as his capital. It was called the Western Wei Dynasty in history, which was opposite to the Eastern Wei Dynasty supported by Gao Huan.

Yu Wentai was in control of the political power, and he was actually the person in power in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his nephew Yu Wenhu, who was only six years younger than him, was his capable subordinate.

After the death of Yuan Baoju, king of Nanyang, the eldest son succeeded to the throne first, but was abolished by Yu Wentai within three years, and replaced by Yuan Kuo, the fourth son of Yuan Baoju. At this time, Yuan Kuo was only 17 years old.

One day, during a banquet in the palace, Yuan Kuo entertained Yu Wentai's sons.

Yuan Kuo was 17 years old, and most of Yu Wentai's sons were younger than him, but at the banquet, it was Yuan Kuo, the emperor who ascended the throne, who was the most cramped.

Although their family is a descendant of Emperor Wen, they had no chance to be emperor at first. After being promoted by Yu Wentai, they were manipulated by Yu Wentai and lived on their breath, so they don't blame Yuan Kuo for being careful.

Yuan Kuo was also depressed, thinking about the recent events, drank a few more glasses, then got up to relieve himself.

Yuan Kuo came back alone, and when he was about to return to the hall, he collided with a Taoist.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Wei exterminated Buddhism and worshiped Taoism. Therefore, although Buddhism has a tendency to rekindle among the people, their royal families all believe in Taoism, and there are many Taoist priests enshrined in the palace. This one looks strange, and I don’t know who it is His apprentice came here recklessly.

Looking at it again, this Taoist man is wearing a green shirt, his facial features are gentle and beautiful, everyone has a love of beauty, and Yuan Kuo has no temper at all.

This Taoist was also very conscious, and bowed to Yuan Kuo, "Sorry, I bumped into you."

Although he apologized, he didn't seem to know that he was the emperor at all.

Yuan Kuo thought about it, he had only been enthroned for a few months, and he was also a puppet emperor, so it was normal for him not to know him, so he shook his head, "It's okay, the Taoist priest doesn't need to apologize."

The Taoist glanced at Yuan Kuo, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "You really look like a friend I know."

Yuan Kuo's face turned red, "Really? Maybe it's a coincidence..."

"What's your name?" The Taoist probably saw his obvious features, and said, "My friend is also from the Xianbei family, and his surname is Tuoba."

Yuan Kuo blinked, "My surname is also Tuoba."

The Taoist nodded thoughtfully, "Then maybe it's really..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenjue, Yu Wentai's third son and only disciple, came out at some point, and said mockingly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to restore your last name? Why do you think you are Tuo now?" Bashi?"

Yu Wenjue's mother was also surnamed Yuan, and she was a serious princess in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Unfortunately, she was the last generation. She was related to Yuan Kuo, but this relative is not as close as it doesn't matter.

As far as their surnames are concerned, in order to promote integration with the Han people, the royal family changed the Xianbei surname Tuoba to a Han Chinese surname.

After Yuan Kuo ascended the throne, Yu Wentai didn't like Sinicization and asked him to restore his old surname. This matter has been decided, but it has not yet been officially announced.

Yuan Kuo didn't want to restore his old surname, he just didn't like Yuwentai's attitude, he just resisted a few words at that time, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed at this time, and even called out of his identity, he was a little embarrassed.

Yuan Kuo lowered his head, thinking that now this Taoist would know that he is the useless puppet emperor, even Yu Wentai's son can mock him at will.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Kuo heard the Taoist say happily: "So it's not only the Tuoba clan, but also the royal family, so it's even more suitable."

Why, this Taoist's old friend is also from the Tuoba royal family?

Yuan Kuo looked up, and saw that Taoist was also looking at him, smiling very softly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Yu Wenjue didn't like that they dared to ignore him. He was just a 12-year-old kid, and he said in a vicious voice at this time: "Hey, you are so brave, how dare you come to His Majesty's palace at will."

"Young master, Rong Zhi, the poor Taoist is here to find someone." The Taoist said solemnly.

Yuan Kuo couldn't help saying: "Who are you looking for, I can help you..."

The Taoist said, "Is Yu Wenyong here?"

Yuan Kuo looked at the Taoist in surprise, and then at Yu Wenjue.

Yu Wenjue was also very strange, "Are you from Yu Wenyong?" Yu Wenyong is his half-brother, and the relationship is not very good. The age difference between them is not too big, and they are all from different mothers. Relationships are still tough.

Yu Wenjue's mother is the main wife and has obvious advantages, while Yu Wenyong has performed well since childhood, so the two are not close.

If this Taoist belongs to Yu Wenyong, it is not surprising that he has never seen him.It's just strange what Yu Wenyong wants to use Taoist priests for, and I don't see him worshiping God so diligently.

The Taoist didn't answer, just smiled and said nothing.Yu Wenjue suddenly felt a little strange, while staring at him closely, he immediately asked someone to call Yu Wenyong.

After a while, Yu Wenyong really came out.

Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenjue are one year apart, about the same age, but Yu Wenyong's eyebrows seem more stable, he walked out without haste, and said to Yu Wenjue without squinting: "Why is your brother called Yong?"

Yu Wenjue pointed to the Taoist and said, "Is this your man?"

Yu Wenyong looked up and saw Huang Zhu who came to look for him specially. He was very sure that he had never seen this person before.

Yu Wenyong's eyes stayed on Huang Zhu for a long time without answering.

Yu Wenjue raised his eyebrows: "Fourth brother, is this person talking nonsense?" His guards moved immediately, ready to take Huang Zhu down at any time.

But Yu Wenyong twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "He is mine."

After Yu Wenyong finished speaking, he was also a little surprised.He had never seen this man before, but almost unconsciously, he recognized him.

"It's your man... Tell me earlier, I don't talk all the time, I thought you didn't want to admit him because you were afraid he would offend His Majesty." Yu Wenjue said with a smile.

Yuan Kuo frowned, wanted to say that he didn't, but finally closed his mouth.

"Thank you third brother," Yu Wenyong said blankly, without any intention of responding to Yu Wenjue, and then said to Huang Zhu lightly, "Come in."

Huang Zhu then walked over to Yu Wenyong, took the time to turn around and smiled at Yuan Kuo, "Goodbye, Your Majesty."

This is actually impolite, but Yuan Kuo nodded shyly, "Goodbye."

Huang Zhu followed Yu Wenyong into the hall, Yu Wenyong did not return to the banquet, but took him to a separate room.

As soon as he entered, Yu Wenyong took out a short knife from his sleeve, pressed it against Huang Zhu's waist and said, "Who are you?"

Huang Zhu raised his hand and said innocently: "Fourth Young Master, am I not yours? You just admitted it yourself."

Yu Wenyong's actions were really unreasonable, he himself felt guilty, and when he heard Huang Zhu's ridicule, he tightened his dagger: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Huang Zhu had no choice but to "honestly" say: "I was sent by my wife to protect the young master. It is said that someone wants to harm the young master." As he spoke, he also took out the "token" and showed it to Yu Wenyong.

Of course, this token was just changed by him at random. Yu Wenyong was convinced of his identity after seeing it. He didn't even ask who was trying to harm him. Anyway, he could guess with his toes.

"Then are you a real Taoist priest or a fake Taoist priest?" Yu Wenyong didn't understand why his mother hired a Taoist priest to protect him. Could it be a cover-up?

Huang Zhu: "Of course he is a true Taoist priest! Do you need a poor Taoist to recite a sutra?"

"No need," Yu Wenyong looked at Huang Zhu again, "What's your name?"

Huang Zhu still used that pseudonym: "Minggan."

If this name was uttered during the reign of Emperor Wu of Wei, some people might still know it, but if it was uttered a hundred years later, no one would have known it long ago.

Yu Wenyong: "Minggan, Tingting Minggan shines on that Minggan?"

Huang Zhu nodded: "Not bad."

"Since it was sent by my mother, then I believe you have a sense of proportion. I won't say anything about today's matter." Yu Wenyong was referring to Huang Zhu who seemed to have bumped into Yu Wenjue just now, and he thought Huang Zhu might be following orders. .

Huang Zhu also acquiesced, "Yes."

"That's it." Yu Wenyong said, wanting to go out, walked a few steps, stopped again, looked at Huang Zhu carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Do you have anything to say to me? "

Yu Wenyong also couldn't tell what he wanted to hear, this would be his person in the future, to hear him swear allegiance?then what?

Huang Zhu said seriously: "I just want to say, young master, please treat me like a human being."

Yu Wenyong: "..." He snorted and walked out, only thinking that the Taoist priest had something wrong with his mind.

What does it mean to treat him as a human being?

Of course it means, but don't fall in love with me just because the chairman is a god!

If it is said that Tuoba Tao has a small chance to be the fault of Tiandao, and he is only admiring the gods, then he will be safe to contact Yu Wenyong this time as a mortal, right?
