??Chang'an, in the backyard of the Duke of Jieguo's mansion, the abdicated Emperor of Zhou. Now the Duke of Jieguo Yuwen Chan of the Sui State was staring blankly under the pavilion. He moved here for several months from the palace where he lived since childhood. Although the weather has warmed up, his heart is still cold.

His younger brother, Lai, Wang Yu, Wen Zhu, and Wang Yu, Wen Shu, had died of illness. Yuwen Qia, the Duke of Bin, who often came to the mansion to visit him, was also executed not long ago for his conspiracy and his youngest son. No one has visited him since then.

The grandfather who once met every day, the current emperor of Sui State has never seen him since his abdication and his grandmother was the same. Yu Wen Chan was quietly staying in the corner like a forgotten bird in a cage watching the birds flying by the sky.

He missed his father Yuwen Yun who had blurred his memory, his mother Yang Lihua who taught him to learn calligraphy, his biological mother Zhu Manyue who often held him silently and shed tears, and his queen Sima Lingji who was like an elder sister.

All of this has disappeared with the wind. My father has passed away and my mother died of illness inexplicably. My biological mother has become a monk in the temple and has not seen her for half a year. Yu Wenchang held the string of Buddhist beads in his hand and rubbed her to remember her biological mother's voice, appearance and smile, but found that her impression was a little blurred.

He was stunned for a moment: Is it the mother with gorgeous hair and luxurious clothes, or the mother with black hair shaved off her hair and black clothes chanting scriptures in the evening drum and morning bell?

Two years ago, his father was killed by an assassin, everything changed. He became the real emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the help of his mother who became the empress dowager, the Duke of Sui, Yang Jian, governed the country. His mother was very strict with him but also very good, so he obediently handed over the power to the Duke of Sui.

Then he didn't have to do anything, and he usually practiced calligraphy in the palace, but he could see fewer and fewer books. Yu Wenchang occasionally thought that this was not a puppet, but people around him said that the Duke of Sui was loyal to the country, and that the Duke of Zhou in ancient times would naturally return to power when he grew up.

So in the end, the throne was abdicated. Everyone said that this was a plan for the whole world, and no one mentioned that he would return the power in the future.

Yuwen Chan lived alone in this mansion, and the people serving him were no longer familiar faces in the palace. They all looked stern, as if they were guarding him like a thief. He missed his former queen Sima Lingji more and more.

He had a good life with the queen who was like a big sister, but that day his grandfather suddenly said that she was a traitor. He looked at the queen who was crying and was taken away and wanted to come forward to hold the other person's hand but was stopped by left and right.

He didn't even see what was written on it clearly, so he was stamped with a jade seal. Everyone said that the father of the queen, Sima Xiaonan, was a traitor, so the queen could no longer be the queen in order to avoid harming His Majesty's life.

"Will you harm me?" Yuwen Chan murmured to himself as he looked at the sky. He didn't believe that the queen would harm him. The queen, who was like an elder sister, kept taking care of herself like a younger brother, so he didn't believe that she would do this.

‘It’s been half a year in a flash. I wonder how you will be after leaving the palace...’ He thought to himself that there is no longer a royal family in Chang'an. There are only four people left in the world. One is in Yecheng, Xiangzhou, and the other three are in Anzhou.

"They are all rebellious!" This is a common word from the people around you. Yu Wenchang no longer remembers how many times he heard it. He originally agreed with it, but now who seems to be rebellious?

Abdicate. The country passed down by Emperor Wen is gone. They said that this is in accordance with the will of heaven, but the people of the Yuwen family are rebellious. Yuwen Chan now figured it out, but what else can he do?

He remembered a scene that was still fresh in memory: it was two years ago when an envoy sent from Anzhou was on the main hall. The Duke of Xiyang County, Yuwen Wen, was questioning the ruling Duke of Sui. It was the first time he had seen someone dare to talk to his grandfather like this after he ascended the throne, and he remembered the appearance of this cousin.

If possible, Yuwen Chan really wants to change his position with the other party and let his cousin be the cousin's cousin's throne and he goes to the free Anzhou to have a happy life.

"Duke. The decoction is ready."

The voices from his ears interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head and saw three servants standing behind him, one of whom stood in front of him with a bowl of medicine.

"I...what do I do if I am not sick?"

"The Duke of the State, if the air is cold and warm today, it is said that drinking soup can strengthen the body and keep all diseases alive."

"It's three parts poisonous. If you have nothing to do, you can take it down."

Listening to Yu Wen Chan saying this, the man exchanged glances with the two behind him. The two then walked up to him, one left and one right, holding Yu Wen Chan hostage. Yu Wen Chan struggled to scold him for being rude, but the other party grabbed his hair and made his head raise.

"I won't drink! You...heaaa..."

The servant holding the soup handed the bowl to his mouth and forced it down. Yuwen Chan struggled desperately but to no avail. He was just nine years old and was not a match for the three adults.

The spicy feeling spreads from the tongue to the throat and then the stomach, then the severe pain.

Yuwen Chan curled up in pain and twitched on the ground. He felt his stomach stirring like many knives, which made people feel unbearable pain. At that moment, he suddenly understood what the other party was drinking.

"You...you...you..."

The consciousness was slowly getting blurred. Yu Wenchang suddenly remembered a story he had read in the book. The impression of that story once became blurred. When he wanted to find a book to read again, he could not find it. But now he remembered it.

"I wish... I will not be born in the next life... my family..."

......

The Zhou Youth Emperor Yu Wen Chan, who gave way to his grandfather, died of illness at the Chang'an Mansion. The news spread quickly to all directions. The Zhou State's general manager, Yu Wen Liang, Duke of Qi State, built an altar in Anlu, and soon announced that he would rule Xia'an, Huang, Xiang, and Jing State's general managers military and civilians held the Yecheng court as orthodox. Emperor Liang Xiao Kui also held the Yecheng court as the main minister.

The Yecheng court, which was justified and became the orthodox of the Great Zhou Dynasty, responded quickly. Emperor Yuwen Gankeng of Zhou issued an order to appoint Duke of Qi Yuwen Liang as the Taiwan Envoy of the Southeast Road Taiwan General Office, An, Huang, Xiang, and Jing Si General Office, and Jiangling General Office, located in Liang State, under the jurisdiction of the military of thirty-six prefectures.

Since the establishment of the General Administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the system of Zhengtai was abolished. Now Duke Qi cannot enter the dynasty in Yecheng, so he has made a "flexible" to lead the General Administration of the Four Prefectures to take the Jiangling General Administration of the Jiangling General Administration. The Great Sima of the Great Zhou Dynasty has passed away. Now the Emperor of Sui’s father-in-law Dugu Xin has also held this position, so it is not a fabrication.

Southeast Road, also known as Shannan East Road, refers to Zhongnan Mountain, the south Jingxiang area of ​​Taihua Mountain. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Jingzhou, Xiangzhou, Anzhou and Jiangling were the general administrations of the four prefectures. Now these places, plus the six prefectures in Jiangbei in Huangzhou, are well deserved under the control of Yuwen Liang.

Next were two other royal families, the Prince of Qi, the governor of Xiangzhou, Yu Wenming, was promoted to the General of Cavalry, and was appointed as the General of the Secretariat, and was appointed as the Minister of the State Council. Yu Wen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, was officially appointed as the governor of Bazhou, the General of the Transfer of the Cycling and the General of the Sanqi, and the title of Yi.

In addition, the other major generals and officials have all been promoted. Although these general administrations in Southeast Road are not bordered by the Yecheng court and the imperial edict cannot be transmitted, it is legitimate to have news.

Because these were all the results that both sides had already agreed privately, and they were waiting for Yu Wen Chan to "died" after he announced that the Yecheng court brought the land of Shannan under his jurisdiction, and Yu Wen Liang and his generals and officials could also be promoted openly with the authentic imperial edict, which was said to be very happy.

......

In the Duke of Pei, Duke of Pei Zheng Yi was watching the kabuki performing singing and dancing comfortably. Since he was dismissed from office last year, he has been leisurely for several months and has now come out again. Not only has his two sons been entrusted with important positions, but they have also been promoted to the title.

It's really a sailboat!

The old classmate of the new dynasty became emperors and did not treat all his supporters badly. Zheng Yi felt glad that he had not "stayed his faith" in Lianghekou and did not join Duke Qi Yuwen Liang. However, he felt good about the "old customer" Yuwen Wen. Duke Xiyang County, who is similar to his son, is indeed talented.

If his son had the level of that guy, he would be completely relieved. To be honest, he would be very tired when he was shameless and "creating income" was also very tired. Of course, the most important thing was that he was tired. If his son was not good, he would have to take the risk to make money.

Money is a good thing. If you want to make money quickly, you have to rely on power. Yuwen Wen gave him a way to ensure that he is not afraid of losing power, so he is sincerely grateful. Sometimes he will think how comfortable it would be to make money together in Chang'an if that guy is not named Yuwen.

The housekeeper sent a reply letter to him. Zheng Yi took apart and looked at him. He looked at him and then calmly ordered the housekeeper to take people to the study. He asked Kabuki to retreat and threw it into his mouth with a piece of pastry. Then he rubbed his hands and walked towards the study, with his steps light and joyful face.

A moment later, Zheng Yi, who was sitting in the study, saw the visiting guests. The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old and looked at his figure. Zheng Yi looked at the other party for a moment and asked, "What's the price of your husband?"

"The man sent a young man to send the night pearl."

"Raise your glass to invite the bright moon." Zheng Yi suddenly asked.

"Meet Galen in the grass." The man answered neatly. Zheng Yi nodded and asked what he had brought. The man carefully took out a wooden box from his arms.

The wooden box opened in front of Zheng Yi and attracted his eyes firmly. The man was a little tired after holding the wooden box for a long time. He coughed lightly and closed the wooden box and then held it in front of Zheng Yi: "The Lord said that it was a long time since I saw you, this is a meeting gift."

"You're welcome, you're so kind!" Zheng Yi was overjoyed. He carefully held the wooden box in his hand for fear of accidentally falling and breaking it. Seeing this, the man took out two more letters and handed them respectfully.

"I'll ask the Duke to personally release this letter. This... Well, the Duke will know after reading the letter."

After putting the wooden box, Zheng Yi took the first letter apart and took out the letter paper. He frowned and then let go, and then calmed down. He put away the other letter and asked, "I have read the letter, your husband has already explained it?"

"The Lord of the Lang asked the Duke to help arrange the place to stay."

"Well, I'll be able to arrange it later. How many people are there in total?"

"Five people."

"May I have your name?"
