Chapter 72 After the Event
?The next day, in the study of the Duke of Xiyang County, Yuwen Wen and Zheng Yi, the chief of the Prime Minister, were drinking a small wine.
Yesterday, under Zheng Yi's "work" by Xiyang County, the Duke of Xiyang County, washed away the suspicion and found out the real murderer of the palace banquet at the end of July, and really made great contributions and won favor in front of the prime minister.
Today, Zheng Yi brought a car full of "appeals" to Yuwen Wen to drink. The "appeals" were used by the court to misconceive slander and cause the Duke of Xiyang County to be frightened and sent to the victim to suppress the shock.
After Yuwen Wen and his four masters and servants were imprisoned, they were not punished by Yuwen Wen because they were cautious, but Yuwen Shiwu and three other servants were in great trouble. They were covered with bruises and were now covered in healing in the mansion like rice dumplings.
After all, the prison officers got the greeting first, so they were only suffering from flesh and blood without cramping and bones. The family-born technique of a group of elderly officials drew the three of them to death but did not hurt their hands and feet, and their muscles and bones did not hurt their faces. However, Yuwen Shiwu was evil and Yuwen Zhiji was spent money to instigate the prison officer to beat him a hundred more whips.
After Yuwen Wen was acquitted in the court, the government changed his smile and carefully sent the four masters and servants back to the mansion. He sent a good doctor to help treat the whip. He took too much pain and gave more things to Yuwen Wen, including the expenses of the mansion in the future.
But he didn't want this shocking thing but asked Zheng Yi to "accept it". Zheng Yi initially thought that the Xiyang County Duke was holding his stomach in his stomach and was anxious to persuade him, but he heard that he wanted to transfer from the palace and not be the position of the Little Left Palace.
"Why is this trouble?" Zheng Yi touched the heavy 'meaning' in his arms and was puzzled. He thought in his heart that this boy dared not enter the palace because he thought the empress dowager?
Zheng Yi thought of a rumor: Yesterday afternoon, the Empress Dowager was slapped at the government office and was furious when she was attending the trial. She slapped her father in the face, although she didn't slapped her twice, could it be that?
"Brother, the Empress Dowager will not check for a while and you don't take action. Don't take it to heart. The Prime Minister is still optimistic about you..." Zheng Yi decided to try his best to persuade him. Although he really can't bear to give up a car of property, as a "conscience in the industry" who collects money and does things, he must talk about some credibility. If he agrees, he will smash his own signature.
Yuwen Wen said what the empress dowager was emotionally out of control, and I didn't know anything. The two looked at each other for a while and laughed tacitly. Zheng Yi gritted his teeth and said that he would try his best. If it doesn't work, don't blame him.
A big cart of money, I have to fight for it no matter how hard it is!
The two of them had a drink for a while and Zheng Yi said goodbye. Yuwen Wen sent him out and returned to see a car of property. He felt a little distressed, but then gritted his teeth:
I am so weak. Can't I afford to offend me? Fortunately, I can't avoid this empress dowager now. Even if I can't afford to offend me, even if I go to Bimawen, it's much better than working as a servant in her house.
Yuwen Wen thought about coming to the side room. Yuwen Shiwu, Lin Youdi and Zhang Yu were covered in gauze and lay on the couch like rice dumplings, and there were maids helping with care.
Seeing the Lord of the Palace came to visit the three of them, they struggled and remembered, Yuwen Wen signaled that they didn’t need to do this: “Recovering the wound well will be cured in ten days and half a month.”
Fortunately, Yuwen Shiwu and Zhang Yu were chatting with each other, while Lin Youdi was in a daze and lay on the couch without saying a word. The little boy Huang Aqi, who had betrayed the Langzhu again, brought disaster to the Lord, which made Lin Youdi Wudi, who once guaranteed Huang Aqi's reliability in front of the Langzhu, feel ashamed.
Huang Aqi has a problem with this situation Yuwen Wen had already made a secret with Yuwen Shiwu and Zhang Yu in advance: Huang Aqi is going to have a trap to kill Yuwen Zhiji!
Yuwen Shiwu's father was still following Yuwen Liang in the Anlu General Administration Mansion, Zhang Yu's sister-in-law and little nephew, Lin Youdi's three good brothers Zhang Yiman, Hu Sanzi, and Fu Youcai also worked in the Anlu Yuwen Wen mansion.
There is an important handle. Yuwen Wen is not afraid of their rebellion, so he dares to take Yang Jian with him, but he does not tell Lin Youdi about Huang Aqi's truth to kill Yu Wen Zhiji, because Yang Ji discovered that Huang Aqi had entered the mansion and went privately with Yu Wen Zhiji.
Yuwen Wen learned through Zhang Yu that Huang Aqi had asked about things he shouldn't have asked about after entering the mansion. After discussing with Yang Ji, he decided that he was Yu Wen Zhi and the eyes and ears placed beside him did not say anything.
When Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji were assassinated, they made a series of plans to allow Huang Aqi to find his "flaw". As a result, Yuwen Zhiji took the bait. He was turned around by him during the confrontation in the lobby and was forced to get out of the palace banquet.
Yuwen Wen was not sure whether Yuwen Zhiji's instructions were just to beat rabbits, but Yuwen Zhiji must die, and he didn't want to keep a poisonous snake to deal with him all day long.
The only regret is that Yu Wenji did not mix in, otherwise he could have double kills.
After talking for a while, he went to the mansion to ask for a meeting. Yuwen Wen explained some matters and then went out to greet Yang Ji, who was called "Strong Practice".
They stood in the middle of the yard and chatted. The house was given by the Queen Mother, as the Duke of Xiyang County, in Chang'an, and all kinds of servants were provided. However, there were countless servants among them. They could only stand in the middle of the wide and unobstructed yard and talk.
"The county magistrate is good at making a move. My subordinates thought it was a plan to retreat as a move, but they never thought it would be a plan." Yang Ji changed his body and dressed as gentle as a scholar, and he could not tell at all that he was a master of swordsmanship.
"Then Yuwen Zhi and his young age can't stand the scare, and I just took the lead." Yuwen Wen touched his smooth chin and didn't know what he was thinking.
"The county magistrate first used words to induce Yuwen Zhi and run to plead with Yang Jian, and then induce him to pick up the long sword and rush towards him, which makes people misunderstand that he wants to assassinate Yang Jian. It is really a good method." Yang Ji was also in the lobby yesterday, witnessing how Yuwen Wen led Yuwen Zhi and to a dead end step by step.
"The same sentence, Yu Wen Zhi is just young."
"Monday, how do you do next?" Yang Ji was very concerned about this issue. Seeing Yu Wenwen going crazy that day, he was really worried that he would kill Yang Jian again.
Opportunities must not be lost, and now Yang Jian has been wary of it and it is rare to be successful.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong." Yuwen Wen was still disappointed. He had three tasks to come to Chang'an this time:
Main mission: Go to the capital city, after completing the negotiations, wait for an opportunity to get rid of house arrest and escape from Chang'an, and return to Anlu safely. The escape route has been planned, and the task is half completed.
Side mission: Save father-in-law Chi Shun's family, has been completed.
Hidden mission: Assassination of Yang Jian has failed once.
The reason he convinced his father and brother in Anlu was that several royal vassal kings in Chang'an City would definitely not wait for Yang Jian to usurp the throne. When he arrived in Chang'an, he privately colluded to kill Lieutenant General Yang Jian with one blow.
Yuwen Wen's confidence comes from the fact that Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao had attempted to assassinate Yang Jian in history. At that time, he used a sword to stab the fruits and fruits to Yang Jian. The blade was shaking in front of Yang Jian but he didn't dare to take action. As a result, after a long time, Yang Jian's follower Yuan Zhou ruined a good thing.
So Yuwen Wen's first plan after coming to Chang'an was to recommend himself to ask King Zhao Yuwen Zhao to arrange for him to serve him at the banquet. You King Zhao is born noble, right? Then I will do it myself!
As a result, Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao did not look down on him, a small Duke of Xiyang County. He was sent away by the butler several times when he visited the royal palace.
Since this is the case, let’s have a mantis stalk the cicada and the oriole behind you! You guys will definitely not be able to do anything, I am ambushing outside the mansion!
He stared at him everywhere, so he and his subordinates couldn't make some fire medicine. He didn't want Yang Ji to take the risk if something happened, and if there was an accident, this powerful helper would be no longer available.
Just as the technology tree of compressed air has been initially opened, Yuwen Wen thought of a new trick to connect the whistle to the small air tank. In this way, just press the mechanism to release the compressed gas in the air tank and blow the whistle, it can scare the horses.
The actual effect is very good. This gadget called "Shocking Cicada" even made Yang Jian and his guards temporarily deaf. It was a blessing that some of them could have been blocked at that time, otherwise they would have suffered.
As a result, he failed to hurt Yang Jian but failed to kill him. What's ridiculous is that when he was fighting with Yang Jian's convoy for five people, there were so many personal soldiers in the royal palace not far away, but Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao did not dare to rush out and give it a try.
So what if you die? As long as the Great Zhou or Yuwen family is the most incompetent, your son can be the free prince and deserve to be killed by Yang Jian one by one!
"I wonder if the "machine-singing worms" mentioned in the lobby yesterday is similar to the Western music box?" Yang Ji came from the late Ming Dynasty and had some understanding of Western things.
Yuwen Wen said yes, and originally wanted to make a few to sell for money to subsidize the household income. Later, he simply used them to put a trap on Huang Aqi. There were also several pairs of iron vests used for breastplate. As for the trick used to deceive Huang Aqi, he thought that he was injured after a strong training.
Yang Ji and Yang Zan, the younger brother of Yang Jian, had a friendship with Yang Jian's brother, so he used him as a guise. Although Yang Zan was indeed dissatisfied with his brother Yang Jian's usurpation of power several times in history, Yuwen Wen did not let him know that the plan was just to use his identity to resist the possible outbreak of Yang Jian's anger.
"Brother Yang's sword technique is indeed exquisite. It is really important to defeat more than ten guards by one person." Yuwen Wen began to believe what Yang Ji said before that he could defeat Jiannu's white armored soldiers.
Yang Ji was just sad. How could the Qing Dynasty end up in the Central Plains if he could fight alone?
The late Ming Dynasty was already an era when artillery was king. After a few cannons of siege, the city wall collapsed as soon as the tide of Jiannu rushed in through the gap, how many could he fight or block him?
He once discussed with Yuwen Wen why he did not build artillery to help the Anzhou army conquer cities and plunder. Yuwen Wen said that Anzhou's territory was small and its manpower and material resources were not as good as Yang Jian. Yuchi Jiong and even Chen Guo in Jiangnan. If he really wanted to build artillery, he would probably build one in Anzhou and others to build five.
Besides, if you learn it for the Turks, there will be no peace in the Central Plains. Everything will be implemented until you have territory and strength, including muskets.
"Yes, Jiannu had no artillery when he raised his army with thirteen pairs of armor..." Yang Ji felt lost, but then he cheered up again: "There is no firearm to follow Qi Shaobao's "Soldier Training Documentary" to train troops and can also drive the world."
The topic turned to how to leave Chang'an. Yuwen Wen said that he would not be anxious for a while, and Anzhou also needed time to adjust. Since he had come to Chang'an, he would try to gain more time. Besides, the situation in the Xiangzhou General Manager Yuchi Jiong was good, and Yang Jian didn't care about Anzhou.
"I am surrounded by ears and ears. Since Brother Yang is outstanding, I will be able to do it." Yu Wen Wen decided, thought for a while and added: "I have already decided on the path, but I just need to arrange a reliable guard to escort all the way."
"The so-called cunning rabbit has three holes, and another house must be built in order to prevent accidents."
"Dare not obeying orders." Yang Ji bowed and said withdrew.
Before stepping out of the gate, Yang Ji looked back at Yuwen Wen, and recalled the other party's desperate behavior during the assassination that day. He thought about the silent silence of the Zhao Prince's Mansion not far away and shook his head and walked out.
