Chapter 1127 Intensification of Contradiction (2)

When Yu Yun died, Dou Wei was also upset. In the middle of the night, the emperor sent someone to send him a letter to appease the Guanlong nobles. Dou Wei did not sleep all night. Of course, he knew the seriousness of this matter. The emperor had not given the Guanlong nobles a clear explanation last time that he used Luoyang business to exchange for millions of money and food, and had not made it clear. Today, the news of Yu Yun's death came again. Compared with Yu Yun's death, the death of money and food is not so important.

Yu Yun, the great-grandson of Yu Jin, the Grand Tutor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was an official for generations and had a deep connection in the court. He himself was a commander of the third rank. He would have committed suicide because he was investigated by the Censorate, but it would have fallen into Li Yuanji's hands.

Li Yuanji issued a suspicion order, and would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one person go, which has aroused public anger among all civil and military officials in the court. So who would believe that Yu Yun was colluding with the enemy? Everyone must think that Yu Yun was innocent and killed.

Dou Wei couldn't help but secretly complain that the emperor was confused. How could he ask his son to investigate Yu Yun's affairs? Isn't this obviously causing trouble?

Dou Wei did not know the cause and effect, and thought that Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanji to investigate Yu Yun's affair with the Zhou Dynasty.

Dou Wei didn't know how to appease the Guanlong nobles, but as the leader of the Guanlong nobles, Yu Yun died, and he had to go to worship as soon as possible.

When Dou Wei was worshiping, he happened to meet Hou Mo Chenduo, the head of the Hou Mo Chen family, and Zhao Shang, the head of the Zhao family. After the worshiping, the three of them exchanged greetings in front of the spirit shed. At this time, Yu Qinming and Dugu Qian walked out of the mansion.

Dugu Qieliu stepped forward and said, "Everyone is here, let's talk!"

Dou Wei also had this intention, so he nodded and agreed, Yu Qinming said: "Please come to the palace for negotiation."

Another carriage came from a distance, stopped in front of the spirit shed, and got off the carriage, but it was Yuan Renhui, the head of the Yuan family. Yuan Renhui was the son of the general Yuan Zhou, and was named Duke Wuling County. When everyone saw the ceremony, Yuan Renhui said, "Everyone will go first, and come here immediately after I finished worshiping Duke Yu."

In the inner hall, six leading figures of Guanlong nobles sat in a circle, and Yu Qinming said slowly: "I guess everyone has heard about my elder brother. I want to tell everyone why my brother died at the hands of Li Yuanji. Because Li Yuanji fell in love with Qingyun Restaurant a month ago, he wanted to use it to monitor all officials, so he came to my brother to ask for it, but my brother refused and burned Qingyun Restaurant a fire, which offended Li Yuanji."

Dou Wei is here to ease the conflict, not to intensify the conflict. He shook his head and said, "But your brother did communicate with Zhang Xuan privately. The letter is now in the hands of the emperor. I don't think public and private should be mixed together."

Yu Qinming was very dissatisfied. Dou Wei was obviously favoring Li Yuanji. He continued: "My elder brother did have a correspondence with Zhang Xuan. Regarding this matter, I need to explain it to everyone. My elder brother's eldest son Yu Weihua is now serving as the county magistrate of Gaoping County, Changping County. This is the appointment of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the ninth year of Daye.

Changping County has been under the control of the Zhou Dynasty for nearly four years. Weihua is actually a minister of the Zhou Dynasty. Since the eldest son is a minister of Zhang Xuan, as a father, I think it is definitely not a ruthless thing. As far as I know, even His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince has had correspondence with Zhang Xuan. After all, the Tang Dynasty has always been hostile to the Zhou Dynasty. Our two countries have formed an alliance to fight against the Turks. Now the question is, should my brother be convicted of this? Should he die so unknown?"

Dou Wei sighed and said, "I can understand my nephew's mood, but the head of the Yu family did not have been killed, but committed suicide in front of the Zhuque Gate. It's not clear!"

Dugu Tuo sneered, "Dou Gong was also in the Zhuque Gate at that time?"

"Of course I'm not at the Suzaku Sect, but this matter was announced by the Lord. Will the Lord tell lies?"

Yu Qinming was finally angry by Dou Wei's attitude. He stood up in anger and said, "I dare not say that the emperor lies, but I will show Dou Gong something."

He ordered, "Come on!"

A group of family members immediately raised more than a dozen rolls of mats, and Yu Qinming ordered: "Release the mat!"

The family lifted the mat and a bloody aura suddenly came to their faces. Everyone couldn't help but cover their noses. It turned out to be more than a dozen corpses. Yu Qinming pointed to the corpse and said angrily: "They are all my brother's entourage and coachman. They were killed by Li Yuanji's soldiers outside the mansion last night. My brother's carriage was kidnapped to the military yamen. It was at this time that my brother was forced to commit suicide and died at his doorstep, rather than committing suicide in front of the Zhuque Gate!"

Dou Wei said for a while: "But there is no evidence that the head of the Yu family died at the door of his house."

"you"

Yu Qinming was so angry that he could hardly speak. He restrained his anger and said, "The housekeeper witnessed all this with his own eyes, so I'll call him here!"

"No!"

Dugu Teng stood up and said coldly: "Even if the butler testified, he will say that the butler makes up. Even if you come up with evidence, he will say that the evidence is false. Anyway, our Dou Gong recognized the emperor's statement. Yu Yun committed suicide because he was afraid of the crime and died. Is it right? The head of the Dou family!"

Dou Wei stared at Dugu Qian angrily, "Master of Dugu family, how did you speak? I am your elder, and it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

Dugu Tuan snorted coldly, "You are not only an elder, but you are also the leader of the Wuchuan Association. I'll ask you, how did my sixth uncle die? Do you think I don't know? If my sixth uncle dies, no one will fight against you. You can dominate the Wuchuan Association and become Li Yuan's lackey to exploit us. One million stones today, and another million stones tomorrow. Do you think we are pigs and sheep?"

"Enough!"

Dou Wei stood up in anger and said sternly: "Yu Yun had an affair with Zhang Xuan. The evidence is conclusive. Even if he was executed, he deserved it. Dugu Chuan, don't think you are clean. Where did the tincture oil in Zhang Xuan's army come from? Do you think I don't know? Do you think the emperor doesn't know? Your Dugu family wants to die, and no one stops you. Please don't harm others again."

After saying that, Dou Wei turned around and walked out. Dugu asked, "Dou Wei, Wuchuan Blood Swear, have you forgotten?"

Dou Wei stopped, looked back at Dugu Qian, and said coldly: "Do you think Wuchuan will really exist?"

He looked at the heads of the other three families and asked them, "Do you three virtuous brothers plan to follow me or stay here?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Hou Mo Chenduo said slowly: "Mr. Dou is sorry. If I leave today, I will probably die at the hands of Li Yuanji tomorrow."

Dou Wei snorted and asked Zhao Shang and Yuan Renhui again, "Where are you two?"

"We also believe that Mr. Yu should not die at the hands of Li Yuanji."

At this moment, a family member ran over in a panic, "Master, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" Yu Qinming asked.

"Just just now, the Ministry of Justice sent someone to say that Mr. Yu heard that his father committed suicide, so he also committed suicide!"

Yu Qinming was extremely sad and angry. He knelt down and raised his hand and shouted, "Oh my God! Do you really want to kill all our Yu family?"

Dou Wei's face changed drastically, his lips moved, and finally sighed and turned around and left.

......

Since the parties involved in the case Yu Yun and his son committed suicide, the case could no longer be investigated. With the strong persuasion of Zhao Cijing, the Minister of Justice, Li Yuan finally agreed to adopt a compromise plan, and did not declare Yu Yun guilty or not guilty. At the same time, Yu Weiming's body was returned to the Yu family. All parties involved in the case were released, and the Grand Third Department of the case was announced to be dissolved, and the Ministry of Justice also revoked the case.

Although the Ministry of Justice revoked the investigation of the treason for the Yu father and son, Li Yuan also deprived Yu Yun of his hereditary title for "impaired communications" and allowed his family to be buried with Yu Yun as a county minister. The case was concluded in one paragraph and no one was allowed to discuss it again.

Li Yuanji was not criticized. On the contrary, a few days later, Li Yuan gave him a manor with hundreds of beautiful maids to commend him for his diligence in handling the case. However, Li Yuan also knew the dissatisfaction of the court officials, and soon after, he secretly ordered Li Yuanji to stop the unpopular suspicion order.

Although the Yu Yun incident, who was born in Wude for five years, was finally left alone with a thunder and a little rain, it had a profound impact. This case became the beginning of the split between the Guanlong nobles and Li Yuan, and eventually led to the Guanzhong turmoil in the future.

The hot topics of the news are always very short. Soon, another hot news replaced the Yu Yun incident and became the focus of attention of the government and the opposition. Wei Yunqi, the special envoy of the Great Zhou Empire, officially arrived in Chang'an on the tenth day of September, bringing new suggestions that the two countries can divide their boundaries.
