Chapter 279 Eventful Night (Part 2)

Mingde Hall is Yang Guang's study in the inner palace, and it is also the place where he meets ministers in the inner palace.

The study room was brightly lit, but when Yuwen Shu and his son were led into the room, Yuwen Shu was stunned.

There were not only the emperor Yang Guang in the study, but also two others, one was the king of Yan Yang, and the other was Zhang Xuan. The emperor Yang Guang was walking back and forth in the room with his hands on his back, looking extremely angry.

Yuwen Shu quickly glanced at Zhang Xuan, and it happened that Zhang Xuan was also looking at him. A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes. Yuwen Shu was secretly annoyed. He quickly pulled the eldest son and bowed forward, "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!"

Yu Wenji also knelt down and saluted respectfully, "I am the one who is not as good as my emperor, I wish you a long live your Majesty!"

Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Don't give me a favor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Wenhua and stood up and before he could speak, Yang Guang asked, "I just heard from the emperor's grandson that you sent troops to arrest the Bohai rebels tonight. Have you gained any gains?"

Yuwen Shu was secretly frightened. How did the King of Yan know that he had sent troops to arrest Bohai tonight? He looked at Zhang Xuan vigilantly. Could it be that he told the King of Yan? Yuwen Shu suddenly realized something, and I am afraid that Wu Shaoyou was taken away by Zhang Xuan.

Yu Wenji quickly bowed and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, I will catch all the Bohai Association in one place."

Yang said coldly, "Is this word really appropriate to catch all the things in one go?"

Yu Wenhua and his heart felt weak and hurriedly explained: "Report to Your Highness, although Gao Hui has not caught it, the Wei Minister has already set up a net of heaven and earth, and she can't escape!"

"Yu'er, don't be too harsh!"

Yang Guang said lightly to his grandson, and then smiled at Yu Wen and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Yu Wen Aiqing, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied."

Yu Wenhe was excited and hurriedly said: "It is the duty of a meritorious minister to share your worries, and I am willing to continue sharing your worries for you!"

"It's indeed improved."

Yang Guang smiled, then looked at Yuwen Shu and said, "I want to know now, what is the relationship between Yuan Min and Bohai?"

Yuwen Shu suddenly realized that what the emperor really cared about was not the Bohai Association, but the Guanlong nobles. Yuan Min was the step his son climbed up, not the Bohai Association.

He hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, Mu Shouli's explanation, the reason why the Bohai Association destroyed the Hero Association was because they reached a deal with Yuan Min. They helped Yuan Min destroy the Hero Association, and Yuan Min promised to give Central Plains to the Bohai Association."

"Give the Central Plains to the remnants of Gao's family? This Yuan Min was so angry! Did he think the world belong to his Yuan family?"

A murderous intent burst out in Yang Guang's eyes and he said coldly: "It seems that I am too tolerant of the Yuan family."

Yuwen Shu seized the opportunity and said, "The old minister is willing to share the worries of Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang did not speak, but looked out the window with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he sighed softly, "God General tells Yuan Min that I can spare his family, but he should know what he should do, go!"

"I obey the order!"

Yuwen Shushi gave a gift and took his son Yu Wenhe and retreated. He quickly glanced at Zhang Xuan, turned around and left.

Yang Guang pondered for a long time and said to Zhang Xuan again: "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhang. Go back and rest!"

Zhang Xuan bowed, "Goodbye to me!"

Zhang Xuan retreated, leaving only Yang Guang and Changsun Yang Neng in the study. Yang Guang then said slowly: "Yuner must be very surprised. Why is I not very interested in Bohai? Why is the Yuan family still letting go and only Yuan Min is investigated?"

Yang nodded, "The grandson really doesn't understand!"

"The remnants of the Gao family in the Bohai Association are just rootless Pings. The power they can use is nothing more than Dou Jiande. Zhai Rang's rioters cannot accomplish a big deal. The power that truly threatens the Sui country is the Guanlong nobles. But if the Yuan family is now confiscated and exterminated, it will inevitably arouse a strong backlash from the Guanlong nobles. The world will be in chaos. Therefore, I am also afraid of the rat and can only endure it again and again, and use Yuanmin to warn them first."

The emperor's grandfather's words made Yang Qing nod silently. In fact, Zhang Xuan told him before that the emperor would not be interested in Bohai, and the emperor's target was the Guanlong nobles.

Yang Neng whispered again: "Did the emperor's grandfather still consider that killing Yuan Min and leaving the Yuan family will prompt the Guanlong nobles to be completely divided!"

Yang Guang was very pleased by Yang Qing's words. He gently stroked his grandson's head and sighed: "I have such a grandson, which is enough to comfort my whole life."

Yuwen Shu and his son Yu Wenhua and left the palace in a carriage. The two were silent all the way. When they arrived at Tianjin Bridge, Yu Wenhua finally couldn't help but say: "Father, the child suspected that Wu Shaoyou was taken away by Zhang Xuan!"

Yuwen Shu sighed softly, "We made a mistake in judgment. We always thought it was Dou Qing's actions. In fact, it was Zhang Xuan who was making trouble behind the scenes. Liang Jingyao was assassinated, and it must be his actions, including Gao Hui, who even ran away in time. I suspect that he was secretly informing him."

Yu Wenji was surprised, "What are the benefits of letting Gao Hui go?"

"Of course it's not good for him, but it's a little trouble for us. Bohai will be a powerful enemy in vain."

Yuwen Shu had gradually figured out the causes and consequences of this matter, and then he realized that he had always been played with by Zhang Xuan, which made him very depressed. The geese he had beaten for a lifetime could not beat Zhang Xuan, a young goose who had just debuted.

Yu Wenji finally understood, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, "At that time, we should have told the emperor that Zhang Xuan and the Dou family colluded, so he couldn't afford to take it."

"Damn it!"

Yuwen Shu cursed angrily: "Didn't you see him with the King of Yan? You pulled Dou Qing in. Do you want to say that the King of Yan also colluded with the Dou family?"

Yu Wenhuaji was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. Yu Wen Shu glared at him for a moment before saying hatefully: "Do you think I can't deal with him? If it weren't for the King of Yan behind him, I would have killed him long ago. In the future, you must control your mouth and don't talk nonsense with self-righteousness."

"Yes! I remember it."

Yuwen Shu's health was indeed very bad. He couldn't support it until midnight. He closed his eyes and said coldly for a while: "Do you understand what the emperor means?"

"The child understands that the child will lead troops to force Yuanmin to commit suicide."

"You don't need to lead the troops. The Imperial Guard should have gone. Just bring Mu Shouli's confession. Remember, don't give Yuanmin a chance to speak."

Yu Wenhua nodded, he understood what his father meant

Yuanmin also had difficulty falling asleep at this time. He received news soon after he fell asleep. Yu Wenhe led his army to arrest members of the Bohai Association everywhere in the city.

The news shocked and angry. He never expected that Yuwen Shu would be so despicable and shameless. Not long ago, the three of them sat together to discuss the plan, but in a blink of an eye, Yuwen Shu turned against him and arrested him.

Although Yuanmin is over 70 years old, he does not seem wise because of his age. He is neither Dou Qing's scheming nor Yu Wen Shu's despicable nor Gao Hui's shrewd and cunning. On the contrary, he is still as impulsive and unwise as when he was young, and is eventually exploited.

In the room, Yuanmin paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He felt that he should do something, but he didn't know where to start?

He never figured out what happened from beginning to end. What happened? He didn't know that Wu Shaoyou had been arrested, Li Zitong's assassination case had been revealed, and he became the biggest loser in this game.

At this moment, grandson Yuanjun rushed in and shouted anxiously outside the door: "Grandfather, the army has surrounded our mansion."

Yuan Min felt a sudden turn of the sky and the earth, and sat down depressedly. After a while, he sighed, "I don't know what I am wrong with knowing people!"

Yuanmin stood up and helped her grandson to the gate. He saw that there were bright fires outside the gate, and thousands of people surrounded Yuan Mansion. Yuanmin recognized the leader, and it turned out to be Zhang Jin, the general of the Youtun Guard.

"Is it General Zhang?" Yuan Min asked loudly.

Zhang Jin slowly urged him to step forward, clasped his fists and said, "The veteran general, I haven't seen him for many years!"

"What does it mean to lead the general to surround my mansion?" Yuanmin asked glaring at him.

"The following is to come by the will of the Lord and carry out the will of the Lord. If the old general asks the reason, it is best to ask the Lord, or the old general knows it in his heart."

"I don't know at all. General Zhang, please tell me what crime I have committed!"

Zhang Jin still said calmly: "I just led troops to come with orders. What does the emperor mean? The old general should not ask me."

"Who will I ask?"

"Ask me!"

In the darkness, Yu Wenhua, who had a sinister face, walked out of the group of soldiers, sneered: "The head of the Yuan family should be very clear about what he did?"

"It's you!"

Yuanmin took two steps back, his eyes spurted out of fire, staring at Yu Wenhua and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable and shameless, will your Yuwen family collude with Bohai? What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson!"

Yu Wenhua completely inherited his father's shamelessness. He sneered: "I will still slander people when I die. Do you think the emperor will believe your slander? Yuanmin, if you want to save your family, you will commit suicide! If you resist, it will be the serious crime of the Yuan family being raided and exterminated. You will choose it yourself!"

After saying that, Yu Wenhe took out a gold medal and glanced at Yuan Min. Yuan Min saw clearly that it was the gold medal "like I came in person". He seemed to have become ten years old and took two steps back, his eyes full of despair.

"Yu Wenji, my Yuan family is innocent!"

"Whether you are innocent depends on your own performance."

"General Zhang, if Yuanmin resists the order, arrest me!" Yu Wenhua and ordered sternly.

Zhang Jin had no choice but to turn around and say, "Each army is ready!"

Yuanmin sighed to the sky, "Forget it, Yuanmin is stupid, no wonder others."
