Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenhuaji who suddenly walked out of his seat with a gloomy face. A servant really can't be spoiled, and he dared to cut him off.

Yu Wenhuaji bit the bullet and walked to the center of the hall. He didn't know that Emperor Sui was unhappy, but for the long-term plan, he had to do it.

Yu Wenhua knelt on both knees, bent over to salute, lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and his posture was extremely respectful.

This actually made Yang Guang feel a little better, maybe it's not necessarily a big deal.

Yang Guang's brows were not as tense as before, and he took a breath and said, "Oh, what's the prime minister's business?"

Yu Wenhuaji kowtowed his head three times in a row, and then said in a very humble tone: "This old man has the courage to ask the emperor for a favor for my son Chengdu."

It turned out to be like this, a smile appeared on Yang Guang's face, and he said jokingly: "Prime Minister, you don't need to be too polite. Chengdu has made great achievements in breaking the city. I have already promised that there will be rewards. The Prime Minister is too anxious. I haven't said anything yet." After finishing speaking, he knelt down impatiently, get up quickly, the prime minister please get up quickly."

It's just a reward, Yang Guang is happy to be a favor, to buy people's hearts and use it for him.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenhuaji didn't get up in a hurry, but bent down again, and said loudly: "I thank the emperor for your kindness on behalf of my son Chengdu."

Yu Wencheng raised his heart when the emperor mentioned Princess Ruyi, and when his father suddenly got up and knelt in front of the emperor, he frowned even more.

Yu Wenhua couldn't get up, and Yang Guang didn't force it. He picked up the full wine glass with one hand, put it to his lips, and asked, "Tell me, what kind of grace do you want to ask for in Chengdu? Even if it's a marquis, I will agree." Yes, Chengdu belonged to my Great Sui Dynasty, but its meritorious service is outstanding." At this moment, Yang Guang was drinking happily, even though Empress Xiao kept winking at him, he didn't notice it.

"My minister wants to marry Princess Ruyi for my son Chengdu, and I hope the emperor will make it happen."

As soon as the words came out, the people in the field reacted differently.

Yuwen Chengdu's first reaction was to cast his eyes to Luo Cheng, who was looking at him just in the same direction, with a narrow and playful smile in his eyes, not at all the disappointed expression he imagined, which made him He could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't know where his mind was going.

At this time, Yu Wencheng felt guilty towards Luo Cheng.He clearly knew that Princess Ruyi was interested in Luo Cheng. Looking at today's banquet, the emperor and Empress Xiao also intended to recruit him as a son-in-law, but now, his father forcefully took the lead. He might not be able to make this son-in-law. up.

And the one who robbed him of the position of son-in-law was Yu Wencheng.This made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he always felt ashamed of this simple-minded young man.

Since Yang Guang finished Yu Wenhuaji's speech, his right hand was still in the air, but he couldn't drink the wine in the glass anyway. After his expression was a little flustered, he pretended to be calm and called Yu Wenhuaji first.

Logically speaking, since Yu Wenhuaji forcibly interrupted him and made such a request, Yang Guang should be angry.

Did he and the queen just talk for nothing?It was so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were planning to recruit a husband for Princess Ruyi, and the candidate could be guessed.

Yu Wenhuaji is also a person with great eyesight, otherwise he wouldn't be the emperor's confidant, but why did he stand up at this moment?

It's not that he's not afraid of being punished, but that under such circumstances, he can't help but stand up.

It turned out that long before Yang Guang ascended the throne, when he was still His Royal Highness King Jin, in order to win people's hearts, he had long promised Yu Wenhuaji to form a family with his sons and daughters.

But now, the throne is won, and those who disturbed the throne within the court also relied on Yu Wenhua and his influence to eradicate them one by one. It can be said that the reason why he can sit back and relax now is largely inseparable from the Yuwen family.

But now, after drinking some wine and listening to Empress Xiao's whisper, he also cherished his talents, so he wanted to use the position of son-in-law to recruit Luo Cheng, but he never thought that before he said his words, he was caught Yu Wenhua and the old fox arrived first.

Yang Guang gritted his teeth with hatred. If he insisted on betrotting Princess Ruyi to Luo Cheng just now, Yu Wenhuaji couldn't do anything about it. Yu Wenhuaji interrupted him at a critical point. It's his fault for being careless. Thinking that what Yu Wenhuaji wanted was high officials and generous salary, he had already promised Yuwen Chengdu's grace.That's why he let himself ride a tiger, and the only thing in front of him was to allow or not to allow.

When Empress Xiao saw the emperor's expression, she had already guessed wildly, and she was afraid that this matter would not come true.

Yang Guang wanted to slap the table, make jokes, and think of him as a majestic emperor, but he can still be controlled by others!

But Empress Xiao held her hand, put it down lightly, and shook her head at him.

Yang Guang calmed down and thought about it, if he refuses to allow it today, there must be a grudge between the monarch and his ministers. It is very inappropriate to abandon the Yuwen family for the sake of the Luo family.

Secondly, Yu Wenhuaji can be said to be his right-hand man, no matter before or after his ascension to the throne, he has done a lot of things for him to eradicate dissidents, even the death of the first emperor.

In the end, he was at fault after all. Princess Ruyi had promised Yuwen Chengdu first.

Yang Guang finally picked up the wine glass high, put it down lightly, and looked at Empress Xiao before pretending to be relaxed: "What is the prime minister doing, get up quickly, please get up quickly. I can trust this child in Chengdu." , Ruyi and Chengdu have been in love with each other since they were young, and I am also happy to see it come true. If it becomes a marriage, it must be a match made in heaven."

"It's just that Ruyi is still young and hasn't reached the peak yet. I'm afraid Chengdu will have to wait for two years."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of Chengdu." Yu Wenhuaji burst into tears of joy when he heard this, and looked very moved. When he even stood up, he did not forget to tuck his eyes with his sleeves.

This made Yang Guang's discomfort of being calculated by others fade away a little bit. After thinking about it, he is just an old man who is anxious about his son's marriage.

"Chengdu, don't hesitate to thank the emperor! The emperor's grace is so great, the family of the humble ministers must do their utmost to pledge allegiance to our Great Sui Dynasty."

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, if he refuses again, it will not only damage the reputation of Princess Ruyi, but also offend the emperor.Yu Wencheng had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow again: "I should protect Princess Ruyi well and not let her suffer any grievances."

"Okay, okay, this is also a happy event." Empress Xiao smiled, but when she glanced at Luo Cheng who was standing aside, she felt a little uncomfortable. Lo and behold, Luo Cheng stared at Yu Wencheng almost two holes out. Yes, that's right... If Yu Wenhuaji hadn't stepped in, this son-in-law must have been him.

Sigh... What a good young man, what a pity, who made Ruyi the only princess without a marriage contract, otherwise, she could have both.Empress Xiao felt sorry for Luo Cheng, and Yang Guang also felt sorry for Luo Cheng, so on the second day, all the generous rewards went to the Peking Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City.

However, even so, so what, in the eyes of everyone, how could those rewards compare to the position of consort, Luo Shaobao unknowingly became the object of sympathy for everyone, and everything was accommodated to him, even Yu Wenhuaji, for a long time Time, didn't bother him, probably because he felt that he was the winner and robbed Hu, so let's stop for a while before talking.

Luo Cheng does not go to court on weekdays, and with the identity of walking in front of the imperial court, he hangs around Yang Guang during the day. If Yang Guang is playing chess with others, he will stand in a daze. disappear automatically.

In fact, Yang Guang stayed in the palace all day, so he didn't need someone to protect him. Luo Cheng's life was very easy, and he didn't know why Yang Guang asked him to come here.

After thinking about it, he finally had no worries, and Luo Shaobao, who was so stubborn to the end, sometimes couldn't sleep.

Once a man thinks about it, it's scary!

No, Luo Cheng imagined that Yang Guang actually wanted to detain himself in Chang'an City, under his nose, in order to blackmail his father.To put it bluntly, the status is equivalent to those protons in ancient times.

No, he had to save himself.

God knows that Yang Guang actually really likes this young boy with outstanding martial arts skills, outstanding appearance, and straightforward heart.

Once Luo Cheng figured it out, he couldn't give up training.There was nothing he could do about being called into the palace to wander around during the day, and when he returned to the mansion at night, he doubled his practice and made up for all the exercises that had fallen during the day.

The days passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was more than ten days in Chang'an City.

Today was the same as usual, Yang Guang was writing memorials on top, while Luo Cheng standing below was drowsy.

Suddenly feeling something flying towards him, Luo Cheng took advantage of the situation and caught it straight.

He raised his head and stared at Yang Guangda.

Luo Cheng looked down and saw that it was a memorial!

Seeing that Yang Guang's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, he didn't know whether it was this memorial that made him unhappy, or his own rash behavior made him unhappy.

It seemed that he was too slack these days, and when others gave him a good face, he almost forgot the nature of the person in front of him.

Luo Cheng resignedly handed the memorial in his hand to the desk, rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "I accidentally squinted for a while, and I was about to fall asleep. When I heard the wind, I picked it up... that , Your Majesty, please forgive me."

After hearing his nondescript explanation, Yang Guang not only didn't get angry, but his complexion improved a lot. He felt that he was not like some people in the imperial court who would only flatter horses all day long. This is true.

"Luo Cheng, do you want to know what is mentioned in this memorial?"

Luo Cheng shook his head: "This minister doesn't understand."

Yang Guangchang sighed and said: "Eight hundred miles urgent report, Nanyang Pass has fallen again."

"Ah?" Luo Cheng was also taken aback, it's only been a few days?They were fine when they left, why did they suddenly fall again?Could it be that Wu Yunzhao called back again?

In fact, Wu Yunzhao didn't call back, but his cousin Wu Tianxi, whom Wu Yunzhao asked for help before, arrived with reinforcements.

Luo Yi originally guarded Nanyang Pass temporarily, but once it settled down, Luo Yi naturally couldn't stay for long, so Yuhuaji sent Zhang Daxin, one of his confidants, and others to receive it.

As soon as Zhang Daxin and the others arrived at Nanyang Pass, their eyes were flooded with light. This is a fat job.We must know that when Wu Yunzhao was the commander-in-chief, he was diligent in governing and caring for the people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Therefore, although Nanyangguan is not rich, it is still rich.

After Zhang Daxin went, he sent troops to search for money from house to house without a word. If he met someone who had no money, he would also search for chickens, ducks, fish and the like. , acting directly, for a while, there were constant wailing in Nanyang Pass.

As mentioned in the previous article, when Luo Cheng rescued Wu Yunzhao, he met a black-faced sweaty man disguised as Zhou Cang from the Han Dynasty to help Wu Yunzhao.

Zhang Daxin's actions completely angered the common people, and Zhu Can simply joined forces with other people in the village to stage an uprising.

When their team was fighting Zhang Daxin's Sui army, they happened to meet Wu Tianxi and the others who came to support Wu Yunzhao.

Zhu Can may not be able to defeat Zhang Daxin and others, but who is Wu Tianxi?Wu Tianxi was Wu Yunzhao's cousin, with high martial arts skills. It was rumored that his two arms could lift ten thousand catties, and a Hunyuanliu Jinyu made him completely flawless, so he beat Zhang Daxin to death on the spot.

As soon as Zhang Daxin died, the Sui army was terrified. The main general was dead, so what kind of fight was there, and they all abandoned their weapons and fled. A banner with the word "Zhu" was planted on the top of the wall, and a group of people headed by Zhu Can declared themselves kings and formally vowed to oppose the Sui Dynasty.

When the news reached Chang'an, Yang Guang was so angry that he jumped.You said that when the Luo family and his son were there, they were obviously doing well. Why did they leave, and someone turned against him immediately?

Yang Guang couldn't bear the disturbance, so he hurriedly called Lai Yuhua to discuss the matter.

Before Yu Wenhuaji entered the palace, he tried his best to calm down his anger, but his expression was still a little strange, and even the little thought of framing Luo Cheng in his daily life was gone.

There are not many things that can make him look angry, and there is one more in front of him——
