Turbulent Times Chapter 1533: Uwen Chengdu, who killed people with a borrowed knife
Under Yu Wenzhi's secret plan, Huben Lang sent Dou Sanyong to be arrested by furious Yang Guang before he could escape.
When Yuwen Chengdu brought people to arrest Dou Sanyong, they found in Dou Sanyong's room the letter from Dou Wei, who had already taken refuge in Li Shimin, to Dou Sanyong, as well as Dou Sanyong's plan to escape, some officials who were planning to escape with him, and the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army List of soldiers.
Although Yuwen Chengdu is very murderous, he faintly feels that this matter is very involved, and Dou Sanyong is a general of the fourth rank, so even though the evidence is solid, he did not kill people, but arrested them all and asked Yang Guang for instructions.
Yang Guang's current state is intermittent mania in future generations. When Yu Wencheng reported it, his manic symptoms were committed, and he was very angry. Not to mention all the people who were going to escape together, they were all killed, and their relatives and even friends were implicated, killed and imprisoned.
Dou Sanyong himself is the highest-ranking official who has been killed so far. The effect was even better than what Liu Zhifei planned for Yu Wenzhi.
In particular, the hearts of more than 30,000 Xiaoguo Forbidden Army officers and soldiers were shaken, and their loyalty to Yang Guang was seriously affected.
However, Yang Guang hasn't realized this yet, because sometimes his mind is clear, sometimes he is not. For various reasons, he did not stand up and tell Yang Guang about this matter.
In the end, Yu Wencheng, who seldom participated in government affairs and seldom offered suggestions to Yang Guang, faintly felt the great crisis and the undercurrent of the government and the opposition, so he took the initiative to come to the imperial study to meet Yang Guang.
Yuwen Chengdu came to the imperial study, waited for a while, the **** Ma Paoquan came out, and said to Yuwen Chengdu in a strange way: "General Yuwen, Your Majesty will have an itchy body, so it's inconvenient to see people."
After finishing speaking, Ma Paoquan stretched out his right hand, habitually waiting for Yu Wencheng to give him the benefits of filial piety.
Ma Paoquan is used to receiving benefits. Although Yuwen Chengdu is the emperor's confidant, even Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji will reward him with benefits when they come to see the emperor, so he thinks Yuwen Chengdu should do the same.
When did Yu Wencheng do such a thing, and he was used to solving problems by force, so he frowned and directly lifted Ma Paoquan out.
Ma Paoquan let out an exclamation, and then hit the ground with a bang, and was unlucky, knocked his head on the stone pillar next to him, and burped his fart with a scream.
The screams outside disturbed Yang Guang who was inside the imperial study. The latter was startled, startled, and shouted: "There are assassins, escort, escort."
The nearby guards heard the sound and ran towards him, and under layers of protection, Yang Guang came out of the imperial study tremblingly.
There are two young eunuchs next to the imperial study room, they are the adopted sons of the old **** Ma Paoquan, they didn't dare to speak out just now, they hid far away, when they saw Yang Guang come out, they ran to cry Shouting and knelt down, he recounted what happened just now, without embellishing it, but Yang Guang immediately became furious when he heard it.
This old **** Ma Paoquan is an old man who has followed him since he was the prince. One of the biggest characteristics of Yang Guang is his nostalgia for the past, and he is very kind to those around him.
And no matter how you listen to it, it is Yuwen Chengdu's fault, especially the screams and the bloodless corpse just now frightened Yang Guang and made him behave in a panic.
And this kind of embarrassment was seen by the guards and eunuchs. This is definitely not acceptable to Yang Guang, who has a perverted self-esteem, so he is extremely annoyed now.
If it wasn't for Yuwen Chengdu who was also his confidant and loyal, he would have been killed by the guards on the spot if someone else had been replaced.
When Yu Wencheng saw Yang Guang's expression, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he might have caused a catastrophe unintentionally, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I was in a hurry to see Your Majesty just now, but Ma Paoquan stopped me , That's why I was accidentally killed by the minister, please forgive me."
"Killed by mistake?" Yang Guang stretched out his finger to Yuwencheng, and scolded: "How skilled are you Yuwencheng, how can you kill an old **** by mistake? I think you have killed too many people recently. Unscrupulous, self-satisfied, even I don't pay attention to it."
Yu Wencheng was heartbroken, but he was extremely loyal to Yang Guang. Even though Yang Guang hurt his heart, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Seeing Yuwen Chengdu's seriousness, Yang Guang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"
Yu Wencheng glanced left and right, and said: "Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to let other people step down. It is not appropriate for a third party to know what I said."
Yuwen Chengdu no longer cares about political affairs, but also knows Yang
The imperial palace in Zhouzhou is like a sieve that leaks everywhere. Among the guards and eunuchs, there must be people from Yu Shiji, Pei Shiju, Yu Wenzhiji, and even Li Yuan and Wang Junlin.
However, if it was changed to before, and Yuwen Chengdu said so, Yang Guang would follow Yuwen Chengdu's request without hesitation and wave the others back.
However, just now Yuwen Chengdu killed the old servant who had been with him for many years, and the body was still bleeding there, which was a big shock to people, not to mention that Yang Guang was too suspicious now.
So, Yang Guang was a little hesitant, and impatiently flicked his sleeves and said, "These are the guards around me, just say what you have to say."
Yu Wencheng was extremely disappointed in his heart, sighed, and gritted his teeth to express his worries.
Yang Guang stood in front of the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and he didn't say a word for a long time. He was really annoyed at this moment, and found that he had indeed made a little mistake in killing Dou Sanyong and other three hundred people.
"In your opinion, how to save this matter?" Yang Guang finally admitted his mistake, feeling a little uneasy.
Yu Wencheng had already thought of a countermeasure before he came, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, since Dou Sanyong and others were killed because they escaped, Your Majesty can disclose the evidence of their escape, so that all the ministers and the generals of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army can understand. The real reason why they were killed has nothing to do with the Dou family's defection to Li Yuan, and it has nothing to do with their origins in Guanlong nobles, but with their escape without His Majesty's consent."
Yang Guang thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Yes, this is a way!"
After a pause, Yang Guang said again: "You are one of the three commanders of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army, so this matter is up to you!"
"I obey the order." Yu Wencheng agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the escape of the soldiers in the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army is largely because their family members are in Chang'an and Luoyang, and now they are here with His Majesty." It has been more than two years in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. They miss their family and their hearts are not in Yangzhou now. If the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Imperial Army can settle down in Yangzhou, then they will have a concern and will not rush back to Guanzhong.”
Yang Guang looked back at him, thinking that there is some truth in it, but Yu Wencheng seldom cares about these things, so why did he suddenly become enthusiastic about these things? Could it be that he wanted to buy the morale of the army?
Because of the previous incident, Yang Guang already had seeds of doubt in his heart, and when he had such an idea at this time, it was easy to think about it.
But he thought that Yuwen Chengdu had always been loyal to him, even if he wanted to kill Yujuluo before, and Yujuluo was also Yuwencheng's master, after the latter pleaded with him to no avail, he didn't say much, and And no complaints.
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Yang Guang suppressed his suspicion of Yuwen Chengdu deep in his heart, and asked: "Then according to Aiqing's words, how should we go about this matter?"
Yuwen Chengdu saw that Yang Guang finally chose to believe in himself, and felt extremely in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that some widows and unmarried women in Yangzhou be rationed to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army as wives, so that they can be held together." heart."
Yang Guang pondered for a long time, finally nodded, and said: "I agree, I will leave this matter to Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, you go down first!"
"Your Majesty, take good care of the dragon's body." Yu Wencheng sighed inwardly, and turned to leave. He felt that the emperor already had suspicions about him.
……
……
What happened and what Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Guang said in Yushufang soon reached the ears of some people, including Yuwen Zhiji.
Yuwen Zhiji was overjoyed immediately, and said with a long smile: "Sure enough, the heavens helped me. I was worried that there was no way to get rid of the biggest trouble of Yuwenchengdu. I didn't want Yuwenchengdu to be stupid, and now he was no longer absolutely trusted by the emperor."
Old staff member Liu Zhifei also stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Second son, I have a plan to get rid of Yuwen Chengdu."
"What way?" Yuwen Zhiji asked in surprise, paused, and added: "This guy Yuwen Chengdu is extremely powerful in martial arts and has the courage of ten thousand men. There are few people in the world who are his opponents, but Xiao Xiao If there are quite a few of his confidantes in the Imperial Army, it would be very difficult to succeed in the assassination, but it would scare the snake away."
"The second son misunderstood." Liu Zhifei shook his head and said: "How can I use such a stupid method."
Yu Wenzhi quickly clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Liu, please forgive me. I misunderstood. Please explain to Mr. Liu."
Liu Zhifei was very satisfied with Yuwen Zhiji's attitude, so he said with a smile: "The second young master can use a knife to kill people and get rid of Yuwen Chengdu."
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Yu Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "Who borrowed a knife? Now in Yangzhou, there is really no knife that can kill Yuwen Chengdu, unless..."
At the end, Yuwen Zhiji's eyes lit up, and said: "Mr. Liu wants to use the emperor's hand to get rid of Yuwen Chengdu?"
Liu Zhifei stroked his beard and nodded, "Second Young Master is wise, the sword I want to borrow is indeed the Emperor's Sword."
Yuwen Zhiji was a little hesitant, and said: "It's just that although the emperor has suspicions about Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengdu has always been loyal to the emperor. After all these years, it is difficult for Yuwen Chengdu to have a crush on Yuwen Chengdu in a short period of time. We don’t have so much time to operate, I don’t know if Mr. can make a good plan.”
Mr. Liu looked confident and said with a slight smile: "I do have a plan, let the emperor kill Yuwen Chengdu, even if he can't kill him, at least he can remove Yuwen Chengdu's military power."
Yu Wenzhi lifted his spirits and quickly asked, "Please teach me, sir."
Mr. Liu saw that his Guanzi was almost sold, and said: "I know that there is a person in Yangzhou City who is good at imitating handwriting. Before the second son tried to get some handwriting of Qin An Wang Wang Junlin, I can find this person to imitate a few. Wang Junlin's letter to Yuwen Chengdu."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhifei intentionally paused. Smart staff would never say all the strategies at once, but stop when they reach a certain level, and let the master figure it out along the way. The master will not be disgusted, but also pleases the master.
Yuwen Zhiji did understand what Liu Zhifei meant right away, slapped his thigh fiercely, and said with a smile: "That's right, sir, just like Zhuge is alive, Yuwen Chengdu and Wang Junlin are brothers, and they both learned from Yu Juluo Martial arts, secret contact can also be justified, but Yang Guang hated Wang Junlin deeply, and he was very suspicious. Coupled with what happened in the Yushufang today, Yang Guang would no longer believe in Yuwen Chengdu. Even if he didn't kill him, he would Removing him from the position of commander of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army, as long as Yuwen Chengdu loses his military power, he will be like a tiger without teeth, although it can also scare people, we don't have to be afraid anymore."
……
……
Yu Wenzhi and the conspiracy surrounding Yuwen Chengdu soon unfolded.
An **** who was close to Yang Guang accidentally discovered the private correspondence between Yuwen Chengdu and Wang Junlin, King of Qin'an, and told Yang Guang in a clever way.
Yang Guangguang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of Yuwen's residence in Chengdu.
Yu Wencheng thought he was innocent, so he let the people who came to investigate search his house, but the people who searched found three letters, which were written to him by Wang Junlin.
When did Yu Wencheng be wronged so wrongly by someone, with a murderous intention, he directly beat the person sent by Yang Guang to half death, if he didn't calm down in the end, he would directly beat this person to death.
After Yang Guang read these three letters, he was extremely angry, but in the end he did not order Yuwen Chengdu to be killed, but dismissed his official position as the commander of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army, and handed over his subordinates to Yuwen. Smart and.

"Yu Wenzhiji is really going to rebel, the prince is really a man of God." Next to Yangzhou, there is a naval camp covering an area of more than 10,000 mu by the Yangtze River. The chief general Huang Shaoqiu looked at the secret letter in his hand, face emotion.
Two years ago, in the twelfth year of Daye, Yang Guang went south from Luoyang to Yangzhou.
Because there was a shortage of warships at that time, and Wang Junlin did not completely break his face at that time, under Wang Junlin's ingenious plan, Yang Guang borrowed 30,000 sailors from the Far East Army to **** him, and returned Yang Guang thousands of dollars. A river and sea warship.
The 30,000 sailors were the Sea Shark Battalion led by Huang Shaoqiu. At that time, they brought thousands of river and sea warships into the Yangtze River Basin from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then came to Luoyang in the Central Plains along the Grand Canal. The royal harem, half of the officials of the imperial court, and the families of the 100,000 imperial troops were transported to Jiangdu in the south of the Yangtze River.
Adopted the suggestions of Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji along the way, Yang Guang wooed Huang Shaoqiu in every possible way. The Yangtze River Basin in the south of the Yangtze River built a navy camp for the navy and provided sufficient military pay and food.
Huang Shaoqiu couldn't bear the temptation, and after sending Yang Guang and his party to Jiangdu, they stayed in Jiangnan.
Yang Guang thought that he was clever and won the loyalty of 30,000 elite navy soldiers, but he didn't know that this was Wang Junlin's various schemes, trying his best to cram 30,000 elite soldiers into Jiangnan, where the situation is very complicated.
But regardless of whether Huang Shaoqiu's 30,000 sailors are still loyal to Wang Junlin or Yang Guang, Yu Wenzhi is always on guard against these 30,000 sailors, so he has been sending people to watch the navy.
But what Yu Wenzhi didn't know was that every move he made in Yangzhou, and all his plans would be sent to Huang Shaoqiu within two hours after he made the plan.
So, as Yuwen Zhiji's plan started, the 30,000 navy and the Far East Army's Military Intelligence Mansion, Xiaoyu Theater, and Wulin Guild in Yangzhou also secretly became active.
