? Outside Anlu City, there are gongs and drums and gongs and drums, and people are crowded.

Angels from Chang'an arrived in Anlu, and the Anzhou general manager Yuwen Liang led a group of civil and military officials and Anlu gentry out of the city to form a large formation to greet him.

Before the angel set off, the imperial court had sent a postman who had traveled 400 miles a day to Anlu to convey information, so the preparations of Anzhou were done very well.

This time, the angels went southeast from Chang'an through the Wuguan old road, passed the Jingzhou General Administration, then went to Caizhou and then east, and went to Tangzhou controlled by the Anzhou army to Suizhou.

The governor of Suizhou immediately sent a messenger to go south overnight to inform Anlu to prepare to welcome the envoys of the court. The officials of the Anzhou General Administration immediately took action to clean the government office and cleaned the city appearance, and wiped the entire set of equipment for the orders clean.

The envoys were greeted outside the Shili Pavilion. A group of people surrounded the angels and roared the gongs to open the road and headed to the city's general manager's office. The road was decorated with lights and colors, fearing that the people of the whole city would not know that the court had reconciled with Anzhou.

The Duke of Xiyang County was also very lively. The servants were busy cleaning inside and outside. They slaughtered chickens and geese in the kitchen and made a ball. A small courtyard was tidied up, and the tables and tables were clean. The Duke of Xiyang County, Yuchi Chifan, was directing the servants to arrange the bedding of the home.

This time the angel went south to Anlu, accompanied by the Anzhou envoys who had sent envoys to Chang'an last month and the family of Angu County Duke Yuchi Shun. As for the male owner of the mansion, Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, stayed in Chang'an and had other appointments.

In order to disperse the shadow that the male owner was stranded in Chang'an and unable to return, the female owner Yuchi Chifan decided to make the appointment to welcome her parents and family a grand ceremony to get a good start.

The servants changed into brand new clothing butler Li Sanjiu checked his appearance one by one, Liu Caiyun supervised the formation in the kitchen, and Fu Youcai, the deputy leader of the guards, specially instructed his subordinates to pay attention: "If a family of three knocks on the door in a while, you must be polite!"

Because of the lesson that the male protagonist Yuwen Wen brought two subordinates back to the mansion last time but was beaten by the new guard, the two leaders repeatedly told those stubborns to pay attention.

Although the butler Li Sanjiu had already sent a carriage to the General Administration Office to wait for the boss and father-in-law to take him back, he had to beware of any accidents. If the two old men and their wives and sister came straight to find a place to go but were beaten up by sticks, they both wanted to die.

The servants sent outside the city had already heard from the family servants who had previously sent outside the city: the family of Angu County came to the outside of the city with the imperial envoys, and they had to wait for the angels to leave after the official office announced the edict. The housekeeper Li Sanjiu asked someone to check again whether there were any missing reception work.

"Here, come." Zhang Yiman, who was looking forward to the door, ran into the courtyard and shouted loudly. Yuchi Chifan, who was already standing in the courtyard, led the servants to the gate to welcome his parents after hearing this.

Two carriages were surrounded by several horse-riding guards and stopped in front of the mansion. The first carriage was Yuchi Shun and his wife and their daughter Yuchi Mingyue, and the second carriage was two old servants and luggage.

"Mom!" Yuchi Chifan ran forward and hugged his mother Wang and his sister and cried with joy. The scene of the family finally reunited was touching. Seeing that the time was almost right, the housekeeper Li Sanjiu stepped forward and persuaded him to enter the mansion first and then talk.

The reception banquet began, Yuchi Chifan gathered with his parents and sister, and the servants in the mansion also ate at the water banquet set up in the side courtyard. The dinner lasted for nearly half an hour.

The family was telling the pain of parting. Yuchi Chifan talked about the little things that happened when he left Chang'an and lived in Anlu. Yuchi Shun and his wife nodded while listening. These things had already been told to them when their son-in-law Yuwen Wen was in Chang'an.

Then Yuchi Shun also talked about being under house arrest since May. If he had no son-in-law to come to Chang'an, they would have lived a few days later. When it came to grief, Wang and his two daughters hugged their heads and cried again.

While there were no outsiders, Yuchi Shun asked his daughter if there was a servant bullying the master in her mansion, because he found that the butler Li Sanjiu was only twelve or twelve years old, and the head of the guard guard was in his thirties for fear that his daughter would not be able to suppress the servants in the mansion and be bullied.

Yuchi Chifan relaxed his parents. The backbone in these mansions was all very reliable brought by his husband Yuwen Wen from Chang'an. It was thanks to the leader Zhang who easily solved the horse bandits who intended to attack the convoy.

As for the butler Li Sanjiu, he is quite capable, although he has managed all the things in the mansion in an orderly manner at such a young age. Besides, it is easy to take care of Brother Yuwen Wen's family next door if there is anything wrong.

"Since that's the case, I'll feel relieved for my father." Yuchi Shun and his wife looked at each other and then took out a letter from their arms: "This is a letter your husband asked to send to their husbands."

When Yuchi Chifan heard this, he took the letter and put it in as if he had received a treasure. The housekeeper Li Sanjiu thought that the time was almost the same, so he "she" appeared outside the dining room and asked Yuchi Shun and his wife and their youngest daughter to stay in the arranged courtyard.

"Sister, I'm going to sleep with you tonight!" Yuchi Mingyue began to shake her sister's arm, "My brother-in-law asked me to help take care of you before he said he didn't come back!"

Seeing that his eldest daughter's eyes were red, Wang quickly pulled her over: "Why are you so careless..."

"Mom, let Mingyue sleep with me tonight." Yuchi Chifan smiled slightly, "Didn't Si Niang sleep with her sister when she was a child? Go and take a shower first."

"Okay~~~" Two dimples appeared on Yuchi Mingyue's face and ran out with a smile.

Yuchi Chifan returned to the bedroom and couldn't wait to take out her husband's letter. He first pressed the letter tightly against his chest and showed a happy smile. Then he came to the oil lamp and carefully opened the envelope.

He pulled out the letter paper with his hands tremblingly and opened it with a breath of breath. Yuchi Chifan was stunned at first, and then tears fell like broken beads and sobbed in a low voice. Under the light, there were only two words on the letter paper:

Miss you.

The two words condense the longing day and night together. These two simple words embodies the husband Yuwen Wen's thoughts about his wife Yuchi Chifan's day and night longing for him thousands of miles away.

How many nights I have been alone in the empty pillow, how many nights I can’t sleep, how many times I toss and turn, how many times I see things and think of people are all contained in these two words.

"Erlang, I miss you too." Yuchi Chifan murmured softly with tears in his eyes, pressing the letter paper tightly on his cheeks to feel her husband's body temperature, and the smell was still smelly. The warm feeling on the letter paper made her feel as if she was thrown into the arms of her lover.

The warm scenes of the two of them reappeared in their minds. At this moment, she felt snuggling in her husband's warm arms. He gently combed his long hair with his hands, kissed his cheeks with his lips, and whispered in his ear:

Miss you.

The knock on the door started, and Yuchi Chifan came back to his senses and wiped away his tears and put away the letter. After a moment, the door opened and his sister Yuchi Mingyue bumped into it: "Sister!"

The two sisters lay on the couch covered with a large quilt and whispered. Before Yuchi Chifan got married, she often slept with her sister Yuchi Mingyue, and the two sisters said nothing.

Yuchi Mingyue was nagging in his sister's arms about Chang'an, talking about being locked up in the mansion with her parents and being unable to go out, and talking about her parents' grim faces and sighing all day long.

"That hateful Yuwen and asked the servant to bully his father and whip his mother with a whip!" Xiaoluoli said this and his eyes turned red. "Fortunately, my brother-in-law arrived in time to teach them a lesson, otherwise Mingyue would be captured by that bad guy!"

"My brother-in-law was so angry that he heard the bad guy scolding his sister, and almost beat the bad guy to death..."

"My brother-in-law knelt down and begged for mercy by another Yuwen..."

"My brother-in-law hung the first bad guy on a tree and beat him, and asked him to kowtow to his father for compensation..."

"My brother-in-law is the best for me! He will take me shopping every day and buy whatever I want..."

"My brother-in-law said he asked me to take care of my sister when he didn't come back..."

"Brother-in-law did a bad thing, and he ran to drink!"

"Sister, why are you crying?"

......

Chang'an, Zhao's mansion.

The brigade of honor guards stopped in the courtyard of the mansion, and in the dormitory between several porches, Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao was entertaining distinguished guests - Prime Minister and Duke of Sui Yang Jian.

His sons, Yuwen Guan, Duke of Deguang County, Yuwen Guan, Duke of Yongkang County, and several confidants stood on the left and right, each standing with his sword. Yang Jian's entourage Yang Hong, Yuan Zhou, Yuan Wei, and Tao Che were all sitting at the door of the dormitory, and the rest of the entourage were with the Prime Minister's ceremonial guards in the courtyard.

"The Prime Minister is working hard on national affairs, so I will do it first." Yuwen Zhao drank the glass of wine in one go, and Yang Jian then drank the wine in the glass to the sky.

Yuwen Zhao was the son of Yuwen Tai, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was half-brother of Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong. Although his talent was not as good as another brother, Yuwen Xian, the king of Qi, was also considered a more capable vassal king among the royal family.

In the first year of Daxiang, he joined the State of Zhao, and used the Xiangguo County of Mingzhou as the state of vassal state to have 10,000 households. In February of the second year of Daxiang (this year), the Turks sent envoys to Chang'an to propose marriage. Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun chose a good day for his daughter's daughter Princess Princess, who married the Turkic Shaboluo Khan in the north.

In April, Emperor Tianyuan was assassinated and died. The young emperor issued an edict to summon him and four other vassal kings to the capital. One was for the funeral of the late emperor, and the other was for the marriage of the daughter-in-law.

When Yuwen Zhao received the Xuan summons, he was hesitant but had to go back to Chang'an. However, he could never leave again. After the burial of the late emperor, his daughter, Princess Qianjin, also left Beijing in tears in June, but she was left in the capital by the little emperor in the name of assisting the government.

The little emperor obeyed his grandfather's advice, as it was Yang Jian's plan. Yuwen Zhao originally thought that the move to keep him in the capital was just to monopolize the power.

Just take it. I remember that my hateful cousin Yuwen Hu killed two brothers in a row. For a moment, the power was so powerful that he was finally solved by his third brother Yuwen Yong? Then I will watch how long Yang Jian can be rampant.

The general manager of Xiangzhou, Yuchi Jiong, Duke of Shu, raised an army to rebel against Yang's youngest son, was supported by him as the emperor. Now that Yuchi Jiong is powerful, it is no longer something that Yang Jian can shake for a while.

When his daughter married into the Turks, the Turks went south to invade the Central Plains all day long, even if there was no excuse, they would have to make excuses. They didn't believe what Yang Jian dared to do to him.

But now Yang Jian is really going to attack the royal family and vassal kings!

Although the emperor issued an edict to give himself special treatment: he did not need to run quickly when he went to court, and could go to the hall without taking off his shoes. However, this kind of false gift could not be worthy of real power. Yang Jian has been appointed as the prime minister and the general of military affairs in China and abroad today, and all important positions in the capital were his confidants.

He had military power, but the royal family and vassal kings had completely become decorations and even had no power to protect themselves. Yuwen Hu, the powerful minister back then, was worried that the royal family would not dare to do too much. He even killed two emperors but did not dare to usurp the throne. But now no one can suppress the Duke of Sui Yang Jian.

Yuwen Liang, the chief manager of Anzhou who is the only royal family leading the army, didn't know what medicine to take, actually negotiated with Yang Jian. As long as Yang Jian defended Wuguan and Luoyang, in the Yubi area, he could do whatever he wanted in Chang'an. Those so-called loyal ministers of the Great Zhou who had been favored by his father Yuwen Tai and his third brother Yuwen Yong are now flattering Yang Jian, probably waiting to persuade him to enter.

Therefore, I cannot sit still and wait for death, and today I will kill this traitor Yang Jian!
