"In other words, Duke Hui is really dead?"

"Yes, dead, not angry, dead."

"Since that's the case, what's the previous arrangement?"

"No need to be so tense."

"yes."

Ye, Qi Wang Mansion, Qi Wang Yu Wen Liang was having a close conversation with the prince Yu Wenming, and he wanted to make adjustments to the series of arrangements he had made before. The troops that had been arranged could be relaxed and there was no need to wait for attack at any time.

This afternoon, Yuwen Liang went to the Duke of Hui to pay his respects to the condolences. Although everything was as usual, he actually took great risks.

The so-called risk refers to the fact that if Liang Shiyan pretends to die or there is an ambush in the mansion, Yu Wen Liang, who comes to pay his respects, will not escape the disaster.

To this end, Yu Wen Liang made careful arrangements in advance, then "taken the risk with his own life", walked to the Duke of Hui's Mansion, stayed for more than half an hour, and found a way to confirm that Liang Shiyan, who was lying in the coffin, had really died of energy, and then returned safely.

Just when Yu Wenliang arrived at the Duke of Huiguo's Mansion to pay his respects, Yu Wenming was dispatching the troops outside and arranged in advance were ready. Once something happened to the Duke of Huiguo's Mansion, he would immediately rush to help.

It’s not that Yu Wen Liang did something wrong and was afraid of being plotted against. It’s really a lesson from the past.

His uncle, King Yuwen Hu of Jin, when he entered the palace, he never thought that he would embark on the road of no return and be assassinated by the emperor and die in the palace.

When the news spread, the young Yuwen Liang could hardly believe his ears. He could not believe that the uncle who firmly controlled the power was easily eradicated.

Yes, killing a vassal king is no different from killing a pig, just a knife.

Not only Zhou State, but Qi State is the same. How much effort did the emperor Gao Wei, the emperor of Qi, kill the royal family and the nobles?

Gao Wei killed Lanling King Gao Changgong, but only sent an envoy and did it with a glass of poisonous wine. In order to deal with Lanling King, Zhou's army suffered countless casualties on the battlefield and could not do anything to the other party.

Gao Wei killed the nobles and his father-in-law Hu Luguang, so he tricked him into entering the palace and then got a few people around him to get it done.

A little further away, Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Wei killed the powerful minister Erzhu Rong, and did it just trick him into entering the palace, and it was done with just a few people?

The past is vivid in my mind. Yuwen Liang doesn't want to follow his uncle's footsteps, so he is very alert.

Liang Shiyan, Duke of Hui, suddenly passed away, and many people secretly thought it was related to Yuwen Liang, which made Yuwen Liang feel inexplicable because he had never had such an idea at all.

Is the death of Duke Hui an accident or a conspiracy? Yuwen Liang doesn't know, but he won't take it lightly.

Emperor Wu killed Yuwen Hu, with the excuse of asking Yuwen Hu to enter the palace to persuade the empress dowager to quit drinking; Emperor Qi killed Huluguang, with the excuse of Queen Hulu giving birth to a son and let Huluguang enter the palace to see his grandson.

Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Wei killed Erzhu Rong on the excuse that Empress Erzhu gave birth to a son and asked Erzhu Rong to enter the palace to see his grandson.

Then, when Duke Hui died, King Qi came to the mansion to pay his respects, but was killed by ambush troops. It was not impossible.

Yuwen Liang knew that the emperor wanted to regard the Liang family as his relative, which was obviously to restrain him, and he was not easy to object. Then Liang Shiyan, who had been kin to the emperor, would lead him to the mansion to pay condolences after he had committed suicide and then all the ambushed soldiers were out.

If this is the case, what should I do?

Yu Wenliang's choice was to take risks with his own life, but he would not take his prince Yu Wenming with him. He entered the Duke of Hui's Kingdom's mansion. Yu Wenming was outside to dispatch troops and generals. Once something happened, he would kill those who should be killed, even the emperor was no exception.

And if he unfortunately died in the Duke of Hui's Mansion, he would wash the eyes of the world with blood and let everyone see clearly who was betrayed whom.

Yuwen Liang thought very clearly that he had two very outstanding sons, one inside and the other outside. His potential opponents had no chance of winning whether they were conspiring in Chang'an City or "rescuing the king" outside.

So even if you sacrifice yourself, you can get it. At that time, your son has the name of "revenge for his father", and can start a massacre in Chang'an City, eliminate dissidents, and clear up obstacles for sitting in that position.

Of course, this is the worst plan. If Duke Hui's death is just an accident, then when he goes to the mansion to pay his condolences, he can appear open and honest, and let the rumors be broken.

Now, Yuwen Liang personally confirmed that Liang Shiyan had passed away, and he returned safely from the Duke of Huiguo's mansion, which shows that Liang Shiyan's death was indeed an accident. So, do whatever he should do next, and don't be too sensitive.

Yuwen Liang didn't want to be suspicious of the gods and ghosts. Without waiting for others to plot against him, he would have a heart disease. One day, an accident happened and a heart disease broke out and died.

The father and son talked about some things, and then turned to the political achievements of the Henan Road Weaving Department. The Henan Road Weaving Department actually spun more than 710,000 pieces of linen this year, accounting for almost 70% of the national linen production in previous years, which surprised Yu Wenliang.

Then I thought of Sun Zi Yuwen Li.

Yuwenli has now become the general manager of Yizhou and took office in Chengdu. Chengdu has the world-famous Shu Jin, which has become famous since the Han Dynasty. As for Chengdu's name "Jinguancheng", if Yuwenli can greatly increase the output of Shu Jin, it would be a good political achievement.

Yuwen Liang felt that his nephew (second son) Yuwen Wen had been operating in Huangzhou for many years, and Huangzhou's textile industry was very developed, and the Henan Road Weaving Department performed well. If Yuwen Wen could strongly support Yuwen Li, it would be a good way to make Yuwen Li achieve political achievements quickly.

With Henan Road Weaving Department, you can also come to Shannan West Road Weaving Department to build a hydraulic textile workshop outside Chengdu city, and also have a "surprise" at the end of the year. It's really good.

Yu Wenming felt that his father had a good idea. As a father, he also hoped that his son would have a promising future and could achieve decent political achievements within a few years.

"No further ado, please write a letter immediately, discuss with Erlang, and discuss how to operate the specific matters."

"yes."

......

The snow was flying and the wind was cold. In the Xiaohuang of Bozhou, Yuwen Wen was reading the letter. This was the letter written by Prince Qi Yu Wenming, the prince of King Qi. In the letter, the other party introduced some recent trends in Chang'an City, including the death of Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Hui.

Yuwen Wen learned from the letter that King Qi and Yuwen Liang of Qi went to the Duke of Hui to pay condolences a few days ago, and he took great risks for this.

Yu Wenliang went to mourn Liang Shiyan. Yu Wenming dispatched troops outside to prevent accidents. All signs later showed that Liang Shiyan's death was indeed an accident, not a conspiracy in speculation.

In this regard, Yuwen Wen felt that King Qi was really too risky, but now it is calm, which is not bad.

What happened a few days ago has proved that King Qi went to the Duke of Hui to pay his respects to his motherland, but Yuwen Wen felt that it was still necessary to be on guard. After all, political struggles are so cruel.

For both sides of the struggle, the best way to break the deadlock is to "violently break the deadlock" and physically eliminate the competitors. In this way, the opponent's power can be quickly dismantled, which is a great achievement.

All the examples from ancient times to the present have confirmed this point. Yuwen Wen not only knows the examples of this era, but also knows many examples of later generations.

For example, the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the early Tang Dynasty, the disadvantaged Qin King Li Shimin attacked his brother, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, and his younger brother, King Qi Li Yuanji, and also placed his father Li Yuan under house arrest, completing a wonderful reversal.

Whether it is the Xuanwu Gate Incident, or other coups, palace Incidents, protecting the safety of your lord is the top priority. If you don’t do it well, it will be easy to take advantage of it.

Yuwen Wen felt that it was necessary to be suspicious when his father and brother were in Chang'an, so as not to be blindly attacked one day, which would be a bad thing.

After all, there is gunpowder in this era, and when a carriage full of gunpowder explodes, it is powerful.

Yuwen Wen was thinking about whether to write a letter to remind his father and brother immediately, but his thoughts were interrupted by Yuchi Chifan who walked into the study.

He took the chicken soup handed over by the other party and told him while drinking: "You should have to rest more and pay attention to your health. After giving birth, you are prone to illness. This is not a joke."

Yuchi Chifan nodded and sat next to Yuwen Wen. She gave birth to a daughter for her husband, and now she has finished recuperation.

The daughter was taken care of by the wet nurse, and Yuchi Chifan began to perform her duties as a princess again. Her important helper, her sister Yuchi Mingyue, was pregnant and devoted to "preserving the fetus" and could no longer count on her.

"Brother meant that I asked me to help Ali. Of course I have to help you, but I have too many things to do, so you can help me arrange related matters."

"Yeah." Yuchi Chifan asked Yuwen to inform the content of the letter, knowing that she wanted to support her nephew, but she was concerned about another thing now: "That New Year's Day celebration?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow will be here, look at my memory." Yuwen Wen patted his head and smiled, "Let's talk about this after the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Yuwen Wen put away the letter and began to plan the New Year celebrations with Yuchi Chifan.

As the general manager of Bozhou, Yu Wen Wen, as usual, summoned his subordinates at the official office on the New Year's Day and spent the New Year with everyone. This is a practice in the officialdom. If there is no accident, you cannot violate the rules.

Similarly, the governor of the state and the prefect of the county should also convene their subordinates to celebrate the New Year in their respective offices. At the same time, in the capital, the emperor would also summon all the ministers to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the New Year.

The chief official must entertain the officials, which is the banquet for men, and the chief official's wife must entertain the wives of the officials, which is the banquet for women. Therefore, Yuchi Chifan also attends the New Year celebration the day after tomorrow to entertain the wives of the officials of the General Administration Office.

There is a lot of red tape in this kind of public place. Yuwen Wen is experienced in this, but Yuchi Chifan is not very familiar with it, so Yuwen Wen did not forget to explain: "Actually, it's nothing important. There are rules in everything, and it's right to follow the rules."

"If you don't understand, there will naturally be a specialized and responsible assistant to remind Sanniang, don't worry."

"Um."
