Everyone retreated, Feng Deyi and Yu Shiji returned to the Inner History Province. Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Shiji complained to him and said, "Who is that Yu Wentian? I am not familiar with him, so how can I let him use it for me?"
Feng Deyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It has nothing to do with him. Yuwen Huan and Yuwen Zhiji, the son of Yuwen Shu, are friends of the Eight Bibles. If you go to Yuwen Shu, the matter will be resolved."
Yu Shiji suddenly realized that Feng Deyi was still very smart. He sent his shoulders and praised him, "It's very good!"
....
Pei Yun hurried out from the palace and walked towards his residence. Yang Guang still had suspicion about Yang Yuanqing. In name, he was checking Zhang Xutuo, but in fact, he was checking Yang Yuanqing. He had to tell Yang Yuanqing to prepare early.
Pei Yun, like all the ministers, lives on a large ship in Linqinchi. The fleet is only ten miles apart from Linshuo Palace. They rode horses to Linshuo Palace in the morning, and rode horses back in the evening. The road is wide and flat, and there are imperial guards all the way.
Protect, so it doesn't take much time on the road.
At this time, it was already dark. Pei Yun walked out of the palace gate. A guard had already prepared his horse. Pei Yun turned over the horse. He had just walked dozens of steps when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, "Pei Shangshu, please
One step slower!"
Pei Yun turned around and saw Feng Deyi running out. He was stunned and tied the reins.
"Is there anything wrong with the sealed clan?"
Feng Deyi also rode his own horse, urged the horse to chase him, and walked with Pei Yun. Feng Deyi sighed slightly and said, "People are under the eaves, so I have to bow my head. I would like to forgive my husband for what happened today.
!”
Pei Yun sneered, "I feel that the clan is living a comfortable life, so why not talk about the word "down"?"
Feng Deyi smiled bitterly, "Yuan Qing is my wife's nephew, and the grandson of Yang Taipu. I have been kind to the Taipu for a long time, how can I harm him? What's going on now is really instructed by Yu Shilang, and everything is arranged by him.
, I just came forward for him."
"But Yu Shiji couldn't think of using Yuwen Il!"
Feng Deyi smiled slightly, "Yuwen Huan is a timid person, who is as timid as a mouse, is it not easy to deal with him? In fact, the person Pei Shangshu recommended today was wrong. If it were another person, Yuan Qingdang was unsurprising.
risk."
"Who is it?"
"Yu Shinan, Yu Shiji's younger brother, is this person called open and upright."
Pei Yun's eyes were filled with regret. He really didn't expect that Pei Yun sighed slightly and patted Feng Deyi on the shoulder, "You are not bad, and you still have a little conscience."
Pei Yun rode his horse and left. Feng Deyi looked at Pei Yun and walked away. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Pei Yun actually said that he still has a little conscience. Does he really have a conscience? He himself didn't know that he just didn't want to offend Pei's family.
...
The court room of the Zuo Yigu General Yuwen Shu is also in Linshuo Palace. Although it was late at night, Yuwen Shu is still busy in the court room and sorting out files of the military governments in various places. Yuwen Shu is still one of the members of the cabinet and is in charge of the Ministry of War.
As for the affairs of the Ministry of Works, he was also one of the generals of the commander-in-chief during the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo. He was also full of uneasiness. He didn't know how he should deal with this Eastern Expedition?
Just as Yuwen Shu was sitting in the court room and was thinking about it, a guard at the door reported: "General, Yu Shilang is here!"
Yuwen Shu was stunned. What did Yu Shiji come to do for him? Is there any military and national affairs to discuss with him? He quickly ordered: "Please come in!"
After a moment, Yu Shiji walked in with a smile, and then bowed and said, "General Yuwen is still busy with official duties so late, which is admirable!"
Yuwen Shu smiled and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do when you go back. These things must be done sooner or later. It's better to finish them early and you can take a little rest in a few days."
Yuwen Shu asked Yu Shiji to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea. Yuwen Shu, like Yu Shiji, was both Yang Guang's follower-in-Long Sect, but Yuwen Shu was dragged down by his two sons and gradually lost Yang Guang's trust. Yu Shiji
Replaced Yuwen Shu and became Yang Guang's number one favorite.
Yuwen Shu was a little uncomfortable with Yu Shiji, but Yu Shiji also had the right to nominate personnel. Yuwen Shu considered his two sons, so he did not dare to offend Yu Shiji.
After chatting about the situation of the Ministry of War, Yu Shiji changed the topic and smiled: "Two days ago, when I talked to the emperor about some available materials in the wild, the emperor actually mentioned Ling Lang Huaji."
Yuwen Shu was shocked and happy. He knew that with Yu Shiji's identity, he would not lie to him. Does the emperor really want to use his son again? But Yu Shiji's subsequent words made him feel cold again.
"But General Yuwen should not be too happy. The emperor mentioned the Lang's name because he had recruited a lot of Shandong soldiers and was considering appointing General Yingyanglang, but he didn't decide whether to use it or not?"
The smile on Yuwen Shu's face immediately became extremely bitter. If he was going to Liaodong to fight, he would rather have his son be a civilian.
"Thank you, Yu Shilang, remind me, I wonder if Yu Shilang is here tonight, is there anything wrong?"
Yu Shiji pondered for a moment and said, "Does General Yuwen know this person?"
Yuwen Shu laughed and said, "He is the grandson of Yuwen Qing. Although he has the same surname as me, he has no in-laws. However, this person grew up in the palace and is quite loved by the emperor. The emperor once told me that Yuwen is him.
The adopted son shows that the Lord trusts him, but this person still lacks the ability.”
Yuwen Shu said it more implicitly, which means that Yuwen is an incompetent person.
Yu Shiji asked again with a smile: "I heard that he has a good relationship with Lang Zhihe."
"It's OK! They used to be the guards in the palace, and my son was his immediate boss."
Yuwen Shu looked at Yu Shiji strangely, "Yushilang, what happened?"
"Actually, there is nothing big. The emperor suspected that Yang Yuanqing was protecting the Qi County Magistrate Zhang Xutuo, so he sent Yuwen I to investigate Zhang Xutuo again..."
Yu Shiji stopped talking with unfulfilled intentions, looked at Yu Wenshu with a smile on his face, and Yu Wenshu's eyes narrowed with a smile. He understood what Yu Shiji meant. This was indeed a good opportunity to defeat Yang Yuanqing. He and Yu Shiji looked at each other.
Both of them laughed tacitly.
....
Yu Shiji said goodbye and left. Yuwen Shu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. He was still pondering about Yu Shiji's purpose. It was obvious that Yu Shiji wanted to join forces with him to deal with Yang Yuanqing. So, can we make the two of them form because of Yang Yuanqing, a common enemy.
For an alliance, Yuwen Shutai needs an alliance like Yu Shiji.
On the other hand, if Yang Yuanqing was brought down too early, there would be no common enemy between him and Yu Shiji and would lack the basis for alliance.
Since Yuwen Shu discovered that the Sui Dynasty became full of dangers because Yang Guang fought against Goryeo, he realized that the opportunity to take the Sui Dynasty and replace it was coming. At this time, Yang Yuanqing's si hatred was no longer important, and he paid more attention to how to accumulate as much as possible.
Power, wait for the opportunity.
Today, he suddenly realized that Yu Shiji hated Yang Yuanqing to the core. He immediately thought that this was a good opportunity to catch Yu Shiji. Yang Yuanqing could not be easily removed like this. He wanted to keep Yang Yuanqing's bait.
At this time, his son Yu Wenhe came in. Yu Wenhe had no official position and was also helping him with his si staff.
"Father, the baby is back."
"Um!"
Yuwen Shu turned around and asked, "Has he given it?"
Yu Wenhua asked his uncle Li Hun for money on his father's order. Li Hun was Yuwen Shu's brother-in-law and one of the nobles of Guanlong. His family had a huge fortune. His father was Duke Shen Li Mu, but Li Mu had ten sons.
Li Hun is the youngest, and it is not his turn to inherit his father's title. In the second year of Renshou, Li Yun, the eldest grandson who inherited the title, died of illness. Li Hun wanted to seek the title. He found his inner brother Yuwen Shu and promised that as long as Yuwen Shu helped him inherit the title.
He pays Yuwen Shu 50,000 yuan a year.
Yuwen Shu made Li Hun get what he wanted through Yang Guang's relationship and was granted the title of Duke of Shen, but Li Hun was not trustworthy and only gave it for two years. Later, he stopped giving it, which made Yuwen Shu extremely hated. Last year, Li Hun was again
The title of Duke of the Kingdom of Hui was changed to Duke of the Kingdom of Hui, and the number of Guanglu was promoted, which made Yuwen Shu even more hated.
In the past few years, Yuwen Shu didn't care about this little money, but as he had the intention to make trouble, he needed to accumulate wealth to recruit soldiers, Li Hun's money became particularly important. Li Hun now owe him six years, totaling three.
After 100,000 yuan of money, Yuwen Shu asked his eldest son Yu Wenhua to ask for the money.
Yu Wenji shook his head, "Father, he said he only promised his father one year, but he gave it for two years. He gave it twice, so that his father would not be foolish anymore."
"asshole!"
Yuwen Shu was furious and smashed the window with one punch, gritting his teeth and said, "One day, I will make him worse than death!"
Yu Wenhuahe didn't know how to persuade his father, so he said, "If the father has nothing to do, the child will go back."
Yuwen Shu thought about what happened to Yu Shiji just now, so she held back her breath, "Where are your brothers wise men?"
"He is outside. He just met an old man Yu Wen I, chatting and reminiscing about the past."
Yuwen Shu was stunned. It was a coincidence. He quickly smiled and said, "Go and invite both of them in. I have something to say to them."
....
At this time, Yang Yuanqing had been inspecting Hebei and Henan for nearly three months, with a total of twenty-two counties, gradually approaching the end. At this time, he was inspecting the last county, Beihai County, and he had almost circled around and investigated Beihai County.
After that, he returned to Qi County and ended the inspection.
At this time, he was talking about the situation in front of him in the county yamen and the prefect of Beihai County Cui Mu. Cui Mu is an important figure in the Cui family in Qinghe. He was about 40 years old and has been the prefect of Beihai County for nearly three years. He is a natural optimistic person.
When others feel pessimistic about the prospect, he feels that the situation is not as bad as he thinks.
"After all, the people are unwilling to be bandits unless they really can't survive. But I think most of the rebels are mobilized nowadays. As long as the Battle of Goryeo ends in the first half of next year, they will mobilize troops to sweep away these rebels. It can be said that they are not
It was a waste of effort, so I infer that before the summer harvest began next year, the Sui Dynasty would restore the original order, and now all worries are redundant."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "The key is that in the first half of next year, will the war end?"
"The small country of Goryeo Dongyi is not as large as a county in the Great Sui Dynasty. If millions of troops in the Great Sui Dynasty cannot handle it, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the world?"
Yang Yuanqing also sighed slightly, "As you said, I also hope that the war can end soon and return the people to calm down, but I think the situation may not be so optimistic. It depends on whether the court can stabilize the situation in Shandong this winter.
If you can't hold on, there will definitely be more rebellion."
At this moment, someone at the door said, "Yang Yushi, someone from Zhuo County is here, saying that there is something important to come to you."
