The staying in Taiyuan was originally the King of Guan Yangxiong. After Yang Xiong passed away in Goryeo, the position was empty. Yuwen Shu had been considering seeking this position for himself. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan also fell in love with him, which made him feel a little embarrassed and he was willing to refuse, but the gold in front of him made it difficult for him to refuse.

Yuwen Shu thought about it and smiled, "Let's do this! I will keep these gold here for the time being. I will try my best to find a job for your brother. If it really doesn't work, I will return it to you. What do you think?"

"Then all depends on General Yuwen!"

Li Shentong said a few polite words and bowed to the farewell. Yuwen Shu walked back and forth between the four boxes of gold with his hands behind his back. Now the money is cheap and the gold is expensive. These four boxes of gold are now worth at least 400,000 yuan. How could he bear to return such a huge amount of wealth?

At this time, a family member came from outside the door: "The second master is here!"

The second master is Yuwen Ce, the younger brother of Yuwen Shu. He came just in time. Yuwen Shu hurriedly said, "Let him come to my study."

Of course, Yuwen Shu is not an only child. He also has brothers and sisters. He has three brothers and many clan brothers. Although he is not a famous family, he is also a big family.

Yuwen Shu is the eldest son and the actual patriarch of the entire family. His second brother is Yuwen Ce, and he was named Zhengyi Doctor. He has no actual position for the time being. The third brother Yuwen Chao is currently the magistrate of Longxi County.

After a moment, Yuwence walked into the study. When he saw four large boxes in the study, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother is doing a good business!"

"Hey! Don't mention it, this time it made me a little embarrassed.

Yuwen Shu asked his brothers to sit down, and the maid brought two bowls of hot butterfly. Although it is very popular to drink tea now, Yuwen Shu still maintained the tradition of the past, butterfly, that is, milk or horse milk, which is a custom of the Xianbei people.

"What's the difficulty for brother?"

"This is sent by Li Yuan, with more than 10,000 taels of gold. He wants to take the post of being left behind in Taiyuan."

"Oh? Li Yuan also wants to take charge of military power?"

Yuwen Ce was a little surprised, and he said carefully: "Can Li Yuan also have the intention of being unjust?"

"This is impossible!"

Yuwen Shu waved his hand, "I know this person very well. He is timid and cowardly. He has some small thoughts, but if he wants him to rebel, he doesn't dare to give him ten courage. He just doesn't want to stay in Zhuo County."

"Brother, do you mean he and Yang Yuanqing are not getting along well?"

"It is also one of the reasons, but the more important reason is that he wants to advance one step further. The prefect is one level higher than the prefect of Zhuo County. It is much easier to get on the position of Taiyuan and be a minister of the court and even join the cabinet."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Shu frowned, "The problem is that I want to replace and seek this position left behind in Taiyuan. Yu Shiji has already agreed to recommend it to me. If it is given to Li Yuan, I am a little unwilling to do so."

"What about other positions? Will Li Yuan accept it?"

Yuwen Shu shook her head, "I also asked Li Shentong, and he said that Li Yuan would not consider other positions for the time being."

Yuwence knew his nephew Yu Wenjie's background very well. He pondered for a moment and said to his brother: "Brother, I don't think it's possible to be a left-behind person in Taiyuan."

"Do you think so?"

Yuwen Ce nodded, "The emperor will not let Hua Ji reach the top in one step, and at most let him join the twelve guards to be a general. Brother, to put it bluntly, he is a left-behind in Taiyuan, and Hua Ji has insufficient qualifications. Even if Yang Yuanqing becomes the general manager of Youzhou, he can only get his position by constantly making contributions."

This is actually Yu Shiji advised Yu Wen Shu that it was a bit too difficult for Yu Wen Shu to stay in Taiyuan. Yu Wen Shu looked at the four boxes of gold, and he finally nodded, just for the sake of gold, giving Li Yuan a favor.

At this time, Yuwen Ce remembered something again and hurriedly said to Yuwen Shu: "Last time, Li Zhongliang hinted that his elder brother could deal with Yang Yuanqing. I think it's a bit unreliable?"

Yuwen Shu waved his hand and smiled, "Then Li Zhongliang was because Yang Yuanqing cleaned his nephew, so he held a grudge and wanted to use my hand to retaliate against Yang Yuanqing. After all, he was just a eunuch and had a short-sighted vision. He saw a little wind and rain."

"Brother means not to deal with Yang Yuanqing."

Yuwen Shu glanced at his brother and said lightly: "Now our Yuwen family has something more important. At this time, don't make enemies easily and settle old accounts with him in the future."

As the night gradually deepened, fine snowflakes floated up in the sky. The streets were deserted and extremely quiet. The drums that closed the city gate rumbling, and the drums would be rumbling for eight hundred times, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour before the city gate would be officially closed.

Seeing that the city gates were about to close, the gates of the capital were crowded with people rushing out of the city. There was always such a group of people. Until the last moment, they would not think about leaving the city. It was like this every day, and the soldiers guarding the city were used to it.

"Don't squeeze everyone, take your time!"

In front of Dingding Gate, there were more than a dozen carriages, and it seemed particularly crowded when leaving the city. Hundreds of people shouted loudly, but there was no way out. The carriages had blocked the entire city gate passage.

The gatekeeper who was on duty today was named Yu. When he heard the noise, he ran down from the city, "What's going on?"

Seeing that the city gate passage was blocked by more than a dozen carriages, he couldn't help but angrily said, "Whose horse is this?

A soldier ran up and whispered: "Captain, this is the Yuan family's carriage, a total of twenty-three, all of which are transported out of the city, so it is slower."

When he heard that it was the Yuan family's carriage, Master Yu was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He watched the carriages go out, but he didn't dare to stop them.

A car gradually walked into the corridor. At this time, the curtain on the carriage quietly opened a crack, revealing a pale face. This was a man in his fifties. He had been imprisoned since the second year of Renshou. At this time, he had been rescued by the Yuan family by stealing the slander of the eunuch.

The long-term imprisonment made Yang Xiu extremely silent. From leaving the palace to now, he has not said more than three words. He silently accepted everything. He is like a puppet, at the mercy of the Yuan family.

He opened the curtain and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the car window, and his eyes showed an incomparable loss. The emotions in his inner world could only be revealed from his eyes.

Suddenly, he suddenly saw several Sui soldiers. An officer was looking at him curiously. He suddenly remembered the moment he was pushed into the deep courtyard. No matter how he begged, the Sui soldiers still dragged his beloved son away. From then on, the world was separated, and Yang Xiu's eyes suddenly shot out of deep hatred, piercing the officer not far away.

Captain Yu also found the man hiding in the carriage. He was also a little surprised. It was obviously a carriage loading, but why was there a person hidden in the carriage? But he didn't dare to ask too much, the power of the Yuan family was not something he could afford, a small captain.

At this time, the vicious hatred gaze shot out by the man in the carriage frightened Captain Yu. The gaze that looked like a beast made him feel palpitations and he took two steps back in horror. Who is this person?

The carriage finally left the city, and hundreds of people who were anxiously waiting rushed out, and the city gate finally slowly closed.

Captain Yu shook his head and was about to go to the city to sleep, but a soldier called him, "Person Yu, someone is looking for you."

When Captain Yu turned around, he saw a man who looked like a housekeeper walking forward, and a carriage was parked in the distance.

"General Yu, my master is invited!"

Seeing that the carriage was quite gorgeous and there were dozens of guards on both sides, he did not dare to put on airs, so he asked, "Who is your master?"

The housekeeper stepped forward and said a few words to him. Captain Yu's face changed in fear. He ran towards the carriage in a panic. He knelt on one knee in front of the car window, "Captain Yu Chong met Dugu Prime Minister!"

The car window opened, revealing Dugu Zhen’s face with a kind smile, “I just came out to see the snow scene.”

He changed his subject and asked again: "Whose carriage was that just now? Going out of the city at this time?"

"Reported to the Prime Minister Dugu, it was the Yuan family's carriage, and it was loaded."

"Oh! It seemed like you saw something just now, and you looked a little scared, what was it?"

Yu Jiawei was a little surprised. Why did Dugu Prime Minister know his every move? He didn't dare to hide it and could only say: "Ji Yi discovered that there was a man hidden in the carriage. He was about forty or fifty years old, with a pale face and a fierce eyes like a wild beast, so Yu Yi was shocked."

"Then why don't you go and interrogate?"

Captain Yu lowered his head and said timidly for a while: "That is the carriage of the Yuan family, I dare not be humble.

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you, go!"

Yu Jiawei bowed and left in a hurry. Dugu Zhen put down the curtain of the car, and turned around and headed north.

"Is it him?" Dugu Liang, who was sitting in the back row in the carriage, asked.

Dugu Zhen nodded, "It should be him."

"Honor, what should we do?"

Dugu Liang said with some concern: "If the Yuan family reopens, I am worried that it will harm the interests of our Dugu family."

Dugu Zhen closed his eyes and leaned on his soft back. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "If the Yuan family wants to succeed, he still has to rely on the support of the Guanlong nobles. If he dares to infringe on the interests of my Dugu family, then he will definitely lose."

"Head of the family, I don't think there is any need to let the Yuan family raise an uprising, this will make enemies for us in the future."

Dugu Liang always had some doubts about what the head of the family did. He first supported Li Yuan and Dugu's family made wedding dresses, but now he indulged the Yuan family. He really couldn't understand why he didn't eliminate the Yuan family in its infancy and eradicate future political enemies.

Dugu Zhen could feel the dissatisfaction in his eldest nephew's heart. He sighed in his heart. This nephew always values ​​immediate interests too much, always ignores the main trunk, only looks at the branches and leaves, always feels that the Yuan family will steal the interests of the Dugu family, but forgets that the real enemy is the Sui Dynasty.

"Everything has pros and cons, so we must always weigh the pros and cons. As long as the pros and cons outweigh the cons, it is feasible. Although the Yuan family will become our future enemy, the rebellion of the Yuan family will bring a heavy blow to Yang Sui. Our real enemy is not the Yuan family, but the Yang Sui. The same is true for the Yuan family. Since there is a common enemy, why should we fight internally first?"

Dugu Zhen sneered again, "Why not do it if the Yuan family is willing to be the pioneer and weaken Yang Sui for us?"
