Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

At this time, the governor of the navy came to the bow of the ship and said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang has an urgent report, the Bishui Pass is lost, and the Wagang thieves are coming to the eastern capital." "

"Jiaoyu Wenshu undertakes. "

When I came to Hu'er, I thought about it, it was Yuwen Shu who hid it and didn't report it, and wouldn't it delay the big thing if I handed it over to Yuwen Shu. Laihu'er was thinking about a few more words of persuasion, and Emperor Yang of Sui picked up a poem on the bow table, and said: "Today's masterpiece is appreciated by Aiqing." "

How could Lai Hu'er be in the mood to appreciate the poems, and she was anxious on the side, and Queen Xiao said on the side: "Why did Your Majesty ignore the major events of the imperial court?"

Emperor Yang of Sui sighed and said: "There is a beautiful scenery in Huaiyang today, why worry about the war in the Central Plains." With that, Emperor Yang of Sui brushed his sleeves away and returned to the Dragon Boat Treasure Palace.

Empress Xiao saw that Emperor Yang of Sui had no intention of pacifying the thief's affairs, so she had to say to Lai Hu'er: "Now the emperor only knows how to avoid it, and has no mental politics, and the mourning family can only inquire about Yuwenshu in person." "

In the evening, the dragon boat traveled to Jiangdu, and Jiangdu stayed behind Wang Shichong to welcome the holy driver. When you come to the palace, the singing and dancing banquet has already been prepared, with delicious delicacies, good wines, and all kinds of wine.

The lanterns of the palace are embellished with dazzling patterns, and the long-lost elegant palace house made Emperor Yang of Sui look at Longyan Dayue: "Spread my will, tonight the moon is bright, and when the day is good, I want to feast the ministers." "

Jiangdu Palace, a big feast, hundreds of officials sat together, Emperor Yang of Sui and Empress Xiao Jun, and sat on the throne. Dozens of palace ladies below were dressed in glamorous makeup, dancing when they heard the sound, Yang Guang raised his glass to change the lamp, and drank happily. Xiao Jun watched the emperor indulge in singing and dancing, drunk and singing, and felt sad in his heart.

At a feast, Emperor Yang of Sui was drunk, and several palace people helped Yang Guang down, and the ministers should have retreated, but they saw Empress Xiao sitting on the throne and standing still. Empress Xiao didn't leave, and none of the hundred officials dared to leave the table, and after waiting for a long time without saying a word, Yuwenshu looked at Su Wei, thinking that you are the head of the hundred officials, and you should ask the reason.

Su Wei closed his eyes and recuperated, pretending to be deaf and dumb, just didn't say a word, it happened that Yuwenshu was unwell in the past few days, and was anxious to go back to rest, Yuwenshu got up and asked: "It's been a bumpy road, presumably Niangniang is tired, so let's rest early." "

Empress Xiao said: "The emperor is drunk, but the mourning family is not drunk. Thieves swarmed, affecting Kyushu, civil and military officials, no one cared. Drunk and dreaming of death, day after day, don't you Aiqing say a word?"

The

officials sitting below, each bowed their heads and said nothing, they all squinted their eyes to look at Yuwenshu, and everyone thought that it was you Yuwenshu Commander-in-Chief Military, swearing, boasting, saying that the thieves had been wiped out of nine, and they opened their eyes and said nonsense. Now that the Bishui Pass is lost, it depends on how you explain it.

Yu Wenshu felt that his face couldn't get over it, and he got up and played: "It's not good to suppress thieves, and the old minister feels deeply guilty. The minister also tried his best to think about the strategy of breaking the thief for a long time, but the thief went over and over again, haunting impermanence, and it was difficult to clarify. "

"Yuwenshu!" Empress Xiao is usually gentle and gentle, but she suddenly became angry, which really surprised everyone, and Yuwenshu even raised her heart to her throat. Empress Xiao asked sharply: "The thieves of the world have risen up to expose the rod, and today, how can there be more than a million? You deceive the upper and lower levels, and want to cover up, how do you have the face to face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"The old minister is guilty, the old minister deserves to die. Yu Wenshu hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"The mourning family is a woman, and she doesn't care about the government. People are doing it, the sky is watching, you think about it. Empress Xiao stood up and threw her sleeves away. Yuwenshu was embarrassed, so he had to kneel for a long time.

Back at the pavilion, Yu Wenshu was unwell all the way, but this time he was reprimanded by Queen Xiao, and he was even more anxious and couldn't afford to get sick. Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and his escort were on the side, only to see that the old father's illness this time was committed by the old and new diseases together.

Yuwen Shu, who was weak, saw that his two sons were there, and said slightly: "The Ministry of Rapid Soldiers sent a letter to beg for thieves. "

Yu Wenhua asked: "Father has been fighting all his life, is he really afraid of thieves this time?"

Yu Wenshu shook his head and said weakly: "The old man is not afraid of heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of thieves? I am afraid of Queen Xiao's pillow wind." "

"My father has never even been afraid of the emperor, how can he be afraid of the queen?" asked Hua Ji.

"Alas. Yuwen said: "There are more than three thousand concubines in the harem, except for Mrs. Xuanhua back then, no one has been able to shake the head of Queen Xiao's six palaces, and it is extraordinary to be around the emperor." "

"Oh?" Yu Wenhua said, "I didn't expect Queen Xiao to be such a strange woman." "

Zhiji also said: "If Queen Xiao doesn't give up, things will be in trouble." "

Yuwen said: "Back then, Yang Su could not escape the queen's impeachment, and now it is the turn of the old man. From now on, the door will be closed, and the old man will no longer go out. After that, Yuwen didn't see anyone, and he called the dynasty sick. That's it:

Year after year, he was loyal and treacherous, and he scolded him in his old age.

Yang Su is strange and difficult to avoid death, and Yuwen is insidious and prolongs his life.

After living in the palace for a few days, Emperor Yang of Sui did not see Yuwenshu for several days, and felt strange, so he said casually to Empress Xiao: "I haven't seen Yuwenshu for many days, and I don't know what the condition is?"

Empress Xiao said: "In the melee in the Central Plains, Yuwenshu must be worried about the country and overworked. "

"Yu Wenshu is my confidant minister, I can't ignore it, I will visit it personally. "

Empress Xiao thought to herself, Yuwenshu was good at greeting, and she had a lot of crooked eyes, so she said: "Your Majesty will visit in person, but Yuwenshu will be sincerely afraid and uneasy." "

"Then send the prince Yang Hui to visit on my behalf. "

"As a prince, Yang Jian spends all day drinking and acting recklessly, so let him stay in the palace so as not to show off. "

Emperor Yang of Sui touched his head, lost his mind in his heart, and asked, "According to the queen's opinion." Who do you think is the right person to send?".

"It's better to send a female official to send condolences to show care, and Yuwenshu will be recuperating with peace of mind. "

Emperor Yang of Sui was overjoyed and said happily: "It makes sense, the queen is really the mother of the world, and she knows how to comfort people's hearts the most." "

There are many female officials around Empress Xiao, so she ordered Chen Guiren to choose a stable and clever female official, and Chen Guiren chose the Sigong Wei family. The Wei family has been in the palace for a long time, and the official palace is in charge of miscellaneous affairs on weekdays, and Queen Xiao looks at this Wei family, who is handsome and smart, although he is older, but he is mature and steady, and can calmly deal with the princes and nobles, and is very trusting.

Chen Guiren said: "Xu Guogongyu Wenshu is sick, the emperor ordered the female official to visit as a messenger, and the queen chose you, so I can listen to the mother's dispatch." "

Wei said: "Niang Niang just orders." "

Empress Xiao said: "The mourning family has prepared a gift, you send it on behalf of the mourning family, by the way, I wish him a speedy health and don't live up to the emperor's favor." With that, Xiao Jun took out a pair of cloth shoes and handed them to Wei.

Wei asked, "Why did you give a pair of cloth shoes to visit the patient?"

"I heard that Xu Guogong was not lightly ill, and he didn't get out of bed for a few days, and his official boots were heavy, so the mourning family gave him cloth shoes and let Xu Guogong walk more. Xiao Jun said. Wei understood Xiao Jun's meaning, wrapped the cloth shoes, and went to Yuwenshu's palace mansion.

The female official Wei came to the official residence, and at this time Yuwenshu was on the sickbed, only to see Yuwenzhi and hurriedly enter the house, and said: "Father, the emperor sent someone to visit." "

"Whom to send?".

"Female officer Wei. "Wisdom and Taoism.

Yu Wenshu was stunned: "Why did you send people from the harem?" and then ordered Yu Wenzhi and invited the female official to come to the house to see him.

After a while, the female official Wei followed Yuwen Zhihe to the sickbed, Yuwen Shu tried his best to sit up, and said: "The imperial envoy is visiting, the old man can't get up, and I hope to forgive me." "

"Xu Guogong doesn't have to be polite. Wei said.

Yuwen Zhihe moved a stool, Wei sat down, and said to Yuwen: "The emperor and the mother are concerned about the body of the prince, and ordered the slave and maid to come to visit and give a pair of cloth shoes. The official boots are heavy, and the prince can wear cloth shoes to walk more. "

"Oh......" Yuwenshu hurriedly took the gift box with both hands, secretly thinking that it was not Emperor Yang Sui's idea to send a female official, maybe it was the queen's thoughts, Yuwenshu pretended to be grateful, and trembled with the gift box and said: "The old minister is dying, the emperor and the mother are still thinking about the old minister, bathing in Longen, and I am very grateful." "

Wei said: "The prince of the country does not have to be taboo, if there is anything to say, the slave and maid will tell it on his behalf." "

Yuwen said: "The old man knows his fate, my son is the eldest son of the minister, and when he built the Fenyang Palace, he was responsible for the emperor's grace, and he has been waiting for the crime to be retained, and I hope that His Majesty will have mercy on him." "

"Understood. Wei said: "Guogong should rest early, the slave maid needs to return to the palace earlier." "

"The old body is inconvenient, and the wisdom is to send it on my behalf. Yuwen said. Wei got up and left, and Yuwen Zhihe hurriedly followed and sent him out.

Yu Wenshu opened the gift box and saw that it was a pair of cloth shoes, turning it over and over, looking left and right, and did not understand its meaning. At this time, Yuwen Zhiji returned to the room and saw his father fiddling with a pair of shoes, and Zhiji asked, "The emperor only gave a pair of cloth shoes?"

"It's not the emperor, it should be a gift from the queen. "

Yuwen Shu asked Zhiji to put on shoes for himself, Yuwen Zhihe took the rewarded cloth shoes and tried them on Yuwen Shu, but he couldn't wear them. Zhiji said: "My father has swollen feet, and these shoes are not of enough size, so they may be sewn with smaller feet than women, and the small shoes can't be worn, so how can I walk?"

"Alas...... It seems that the queen really can't tolerate the old minister. Yu Wenshu sighed, collapsed on the bed, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, the water and rice did not enter, the more serious his illness became, and he died in a few days. It's really true:

Good ministers are frustrated to raise traitorous ministers, and it is difficult for tyrants to survive themselves. Deceiving the king becomes a clever strategy, and sycophants flatter the old and faint.

Calling for wind and rain is always wishful, and the evil lies deceive the heavens and misunderstand the emperor's grace. Fear is self-inflicted, and slander is bound to plague.

Yuwenshu fell ill and died, and Emperor Yang of Sui did not know that it was the queen who used a plan to force Yuwenshu to die, and still sent a decree to stop the dynasty for three days to mourn Yuwenshu. Yang Guang sat alone in the palace, thinking and drinking, drunk like mud, and did not see outsiders.

At this time, Laihu'er hurried to the palace again, only Empress Xiao sat alone in the imperial study, flipping through a few books, Laihu'er asked: "Dare to ask Niangniang, when will the emperor be able to govern?"

"Hundreds of thousands of rebels are not as good as one Yuwenshu, and the mourners don't know when the emperor will mourn. "

Lai Hu'er said: "The rebel army on both sides of the Huai River endangers Jiangdu, Hailing Li Zitong, Huaibei Zuo Caixiang, Liuhe Du Fuwei, there are tens of thousands of people, the situation is critical, and it can not be delayed any longer." "

Xiao Jun asked, "Who is the candidate to quell the thieves?"

Lai Hu'er said: "Weichen recommended Qi County to guard Zhang Xutuo to rescue the eastern capital, and Chen Ling, the general of the navy, crusaded against Huaibei. "

"The mourning family is ready to play. "

Lai Hu'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "I am afraid that it is inappropriate to call soldiers and horses without the emperor's instructions." "

"Alas" Empress Xiao sighed bitterly and said, "The emperor hasn't reviewed the fold for half a year, so the Duke of Rongguo will draft it on his behalf." Lai Hu'er saw that the queen's expression was bitter and sad, so she had to silently take the order and leave.

Came to Hu'er to write cursive and sent a letter to Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County. Zhang Xutuo saw that Empress Xiao and Lai Hu'er ordered troops to be sent at the same time, and knew that the rescue of the eastern capital was of great importance, so he summoned all the generals under his command and ordered the troops to be dispatched.

......

Besides, Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Righteous Army, was very anxious when he learned that Zhang Xutuo was leading his troops. Convened the heads of all the departments under his command to discuss the return to Wagangzhai to avoid the limelight for the time being.

The second leader, Li Mi, asked: "The hearts of the officials and soldiers of the Great Sui are disrespectful, why should the great leader be afraid of Zhang Xutuo?"

Zhai Rangyan said: "Brother Xian doesn't know, my brother Zhai Hong died at the hands of Zhang Xutuo when he occupied the mountain as the king. I still have lingering palpitations. "

Pei Renji also said: "Zhang Xutuo is extremely brave, Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode, Lu Mingyue, Guo Fangpre, Pei Changcai, Zuo Xiaoyou, etc., the leaders of the uprisings, large and small, are not opponents, on both sides of the Yellow River, east and west of Mount Tai, no one dares to reach. "

When the leaders listened, they exchanged heads and discussions, and Li Mi said: "Zhang Xutuo has courage and no strategy, although he has won many victories, but the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and they can be captured in a battle." The elder brother is waiting in formation, and the younger brother will be able to break it. "

Li Mi swore an oath, and Zhai Rang remembered his brother Zhai Hong, who was once bitten by a snake, and was afraid of tightening the rope for ten years, walking around and making indecisive moves. At this time, the military advisor Jia Yanfu said: "The master of the big village does not have to be embarrassed, but he has a plan." "
