Chapter 69 Buddha Blessing
In Chang'an, the palace, Yang Lihua burned incense and prayed in front of the Buddha, thanking the Buddha for saving her son Yuwen Weihan's life. Otherwise, the letter she received today would not be the letter written by her son, but the letter of comfort written by Yuwen Wen.
The matter was simple and exciting. Not long ago (more than a month ago), the prince Yuwen Weihan, who was fighting against the Turkic army with the army on the grassland, led a team of 100 cavalry out for reconnaissance, but encountered the enemy.
The opponent was also a small group of Turkic cavalry that came out to investigate. The battle broke out and the battle attracted their respective reinforcements, which eventually turned into a big melee, with a total of more than 10,000 troops participating in the battle.
Fortunately, Zhou Jun won in the end.
During the melee, Yuwen Weihan changed his mount three times, was chopped several times, and was hit by several arrows, shaped like a hedgehog. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and was fine.
My son was so miserable that when Aye's Yuwen Wen didn't care, he personally drew a "close-up" to the injured Yuwen Weihan, and then brought the "close-up" and the letter from his family to the return team back to the country and sent it to the palace to "report peace."
In the close-up, Yuwen Weihan, who was covered in scars on his body (on the armor), sat on a stone with his feet hanging down, holding his knees with one hand, posing out scissors with the other hand, and smiling at the "picture". When Yang Lihua saw "this love and this scene", she felt her heart was like a knife.
After finally coming to his senses, Yang Lihua read his son's handwritten letter repeatedly and confirmed that his son was not seriously injured. So she worshipped the Buddha and made a wish, begging the Buddha for blessing, and blessed Yuwen Wen and Yuwen Weihan to come back safely.
She knew that Yuwen Wen did not believe in Buddhism, and her son did not seem to be truly believe in Buddhism after being affected, but she felt that she could believe it. As long as she was sincere and pious, the Buddha would definitely appear.
Now that her son is safe and sound, she thinks it is the result of the Buddha's blessing, but the war continues, and Yuwen Weihan still fights with the army, so Yang Lihua thinks about where to go to the temple where she often goes to give alms, incense and money, which is to fulfill the vow and make a wish.
After the Buddha's worship, Yang Lihua turned to the dormitory, looked at her son's handwritten letter, and then looked at the separate paragraph written by Yu Wen Wen in the letter, feeling that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Before, Yuwen Wen stationed in Jinyang, and his family was there. Later, Yuwen Wen led the army to personally fight, asking the prince Yuwen Weicheng to return to Chang'an to supervise the country, and asked Yuwen Weihan to follow him out of the frontier. He said that he would not lead troops to attack, so Yang Lihua felt relieved to return to Chang'an.
As a result, when Aye actually asked his son to search for the enemy situation, he encountered a fierce battle when he went there. Yang Lihua was very worried, but he could do nothing about it.
What else can you do besides burning incense and making wishes from time to time?
Thinking of this, Yang Lihua sighed.
She was sighing, and on the other side, Empress Yuchi Chifan was also sighing. At this moment, Yuchi Chifan looked at her son who was almost overwhelmed by the memorial, and felt very distressed.
Yuwen Wen had itchy hands when he didn't fight for a long time, so he personally went out to fight, leaving the crown prince Yuwen Weicheng to supervise the country. This was an amazing test, so Yuwen Weicheng had worked very hard for a while.
Although Yuwen Wen explained that as long as it is not too critical, the officials of the Zhengshitang would deal with it, Yuwen Weicheng still reads the memorial carefully in order to better fulfill the important task of supervising the country.
The so-called key issue is nothing more than the important military power. The army is mobilized. Yuwen Wen made corresponding arrangements. Even if something really happens, someone will give advice. Yuwen Weicheng does not need to worry about it.
Those who gave advice were all Yuwen Wen's confidants, loyal and reliable, so Queen Yuchi Chifan was not worried.
What she was worried about was that her son reads memorials like this every day, and he was already sleep-deprived and even a little haggard. If he continued like this, he might get tired.
I want to persuade him, but it is difficult to persuade him. After all, if the crown prince makes any mistakes, it will definitely have an impact on Yuwen Weicheng's status as the crown prince.
After thinking about it, Yuchi Chijian could only work with his son, and from time to time she reminded him to pay attention to rest. After a while, she felt very tired.
She felt that Yuwen Weicheng had not experienced much experience, and it was very difficult to take on the main responsibilities as soon as she started.
As he thought about it, Yuchi Chifan only hoped that Yuwen Wen would return as soon as possible, and that his son would not have to bear so many heavy responsibilities.
The war was dangerous, and Yuchi Chifan could only worship Buddha from time to time to make wishes, hoping that the Buddha would bless him and let Yuwen Wenping return to Beijing safely.
In order not to disturb his son's memorial, Yuchi Chifan stood up and left, but he heard the eunuch report that the Secretariat's son Hao Wu Bo asked to see the crown prince and report some routine affairs.
The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, the fifth rank, is an important position in the Secretariat Province. He is under the Secretariat Order and Minister. Although the rank seems to be very average, he is actually the second-rank official and the prime minister who enters the State Council as the basis.
As Yuwen Wen's confidant, Hao Wu Bo was naturally responsible for this important task to prepare for the future. This time, the crown prince was the "consul" who Yuwen Wen left to serve as a helper for his son.
Yuchi Chifan knew this and knew that Hao Wu Bo would come to the palace from time to time to report some things to the crown prince, so he asked the eunuch to spread the matter, but she did not intend to stay and listen, so that people would not think that her son would be unable to make any decisions if his parents were around him.
......
Yang Ji, who is wearing a police uniform, is reading the briefing, which was submitted by the "secret police", involving the movements of officials in Chang'an City in recent periods, etc.
The "secret level" of this brief is very high, and he was not qualified to read it.
For example, today Zi Yu personally led the army to fight against the Turkic army on the grassland. The crown prince supervised the country, Yang Ji, as the emperor's confidant, naturally took on the important task of surveillance. Once he found that the situation in Chang'an City was wrong, he had to report to the queen and the crown prince immediately.
If someone plots badly, his police will rush over and arrest people. If the conspirator is eager to jump into the wall to launch a mutiny, the police force of the Gyeonggi Police Department will be the first line of defense to buy time for the Hulin Army equipped with artillery.
Everything depends on whether the intelligence is timely, and the responsibility of the "secret police" is to monitor and collect intelligence.
The Gyeonggi Police Department openly monitors and collects intelligence in the name of maintaining public order, while the "secret police" secretly monitors, both open and secret, and does not belong to each other.
Surveillance officials, this function is similar to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but Jinyiwei is a strong and open-minded organization, and the "secret police"...
In fact, the imperial court had no official office like "secret police" on its face. Yang Ji knew that the emperor cleverly hid this secret agency in the Sixth Courtyard, and quietly used this "secret police" as his eyes and ears.
The king of a country must have his own eyes and ears and sources of information to not be easily deceived by bureaucrats. Although Yang Ji speculated that he was probably moderately monitored by the emperor's "secret police", he felt that this was nothing.
He was sitting upright and didn't have any ambitions, and he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Now, the emperor gave himself the important task. Yang Ji did not dare to neglect at all. He carefully read the briefing several times and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. He threw the briefing into the brazier and burned it, and then smashed the ashes.
Standing up and walking back and forth at the desk, Yang Ji was quite moved when he looked at the high-legged seats - chairs, high-legged desks, and looking at the narrow sleeves and narrow trousers-legged police uniforms.
Yuwen Wen ascended the throne for more than four years, and the times are undergoing drastic changes. Just judging from the popularity of high-legged seats, Yang Ji is very impressed.
In his opinion, Yuwen Wen, who has experienced history, will definitely make the times very different.
The emperor is only in his thirties. If he is healthy and can still be in power for at least twenty years, then the fate of the Central Plains will definitely be different from "historical". Many wrong paths will never "repeat the same mistakes".
Yang Ji has always had such expectations, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
As he thought about it, he looked at the newspaper on his desk. This was the newspaper published today. The content published on the cover of its first page was the news that the official army defeated the Turkic army again and won a great victory.
Yang Ji sat back in his seat and looked at the newspaper. He couldn't help but pray in his heart: Buddha bless him, bless the emperor to return safely...
As a person in the late Ming Dynasty, Yang Ji knew about the Tumu Fort Incident in the Ming Dynasty, so he did not want this scene to appear in this era.
Yuwen Wen was in charge of the army. It was said that nothing would happen. If something really happened, Yang Ji decided to help the prince overcome the difficulties no matter what.
As the director of the Gyeonggi police, Yang Ji-ren vigorously rectified the security of the capital. He enforced the law and was selfless, which ruined the good things of countless people. He secretly hated him. He knew that once he lost the emperor as his backer, he would easily be attacked by the crowd.
During the Ming Dynasty's Tumu Fort Incident, news of the emperor's capture came, and excited civil and military officials beat Ma Shun to death in the palace.
Now, if something happens to Yuwen Wen, will he end like that?
As a person who has died once, Yang Ji is not afraid.
