The death of the Zhou State Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong, King Shu, died. This news spread throughout Yecheng in an astonishing way and then spread to the surrounding area. Although the prime minister was old and would die sooner or later, it was unexpected that it came so quickly.

．

Yuchi Jiong was the nephew of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a royal relative of the Zhou Dynasty. After decades of ups and downs, he also turned the tide in critical moments, turning the country into danger. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great contributions.

Seeing that Shu was about to be regained, the territory of Zhou State was no longer missing, but the pillar of the sky collapsed. For a moment, the people of Yecheng sighed.

Prime Minister Yuchi was in power and the government was in power. When he was there, all forces did not dare to do anything. Now that the Prime Minister has left, the movements of the powerful people who were already gathering in Yecheng became intriguing.

In the afternoon, two hours after the bad news came out, the originally bustling streets of Yecheng gradually became deserted, and more and more soldiers appeared on the streets, tense and the situation began to become tense.

People began to notice that the atmosphere was not good and began to retreat to their homes.

The restaurants and houses were closed one after another. Some pedestrians walked on the streets in a hurry and dared not stop. Most of the gates of the north city of Yenan City were closed, and the remaining gates also began to strictly control the access control.

You can leave the city, but if you want to enter the city, you have to undergo a check by the city gate official. No bulk goods are allowed to enter the city. All luggage and other items you carry with you must be unboxed to check, so as to prevent someone from transporting prohibited items to the city.

In Yebei City and the streets around the Shu King's Mansion were guarded by soldiers. Although they did not set up a horse to resist, the spear like a forest could force back any cavalry who dared to forcibly rush to the ban.

There were many civil and military officials who went to the Shu Palace, most of whom were with guards, but they were all stopped at the outer intersection. After the soldiers were allowed to pass the passage to the palace, they could continue to move forward, and the entourage could only wait on the spot.

Behind a courtyard wall, several people were using periscopes to observe the situation of the intersection ahead. This was the closest observation point to the Shu Palace. It was impossible to move forward any further. With the periscope enhanced by using the Thousand Mile Mile Mile, they could observe each other's situation calmly.

"It's already the tenth group of people, I don't know which powerful family is."

"Are there any more troops?"

"No, just armed."

"Continue to observe and be careful."

"yes."

After Zhang Ding finished his explanation, he moved to a small cottage in the yard, where several subordinates were waiting for him to give orders.

Looking around everyone, Zhang Ding spoke, "The situation is subtle and may not happen, but it may happen. Therefore, we have to deal with it in the worst situation."

"Sima, please give an order."

"Then follow the plan..."

Zhang Ding began to arrange various matters. Yuwen Wen ordered him to lead the Xiyang Prince's Mansion Guard out in full bloom, just to ensure that the princess and the prince traveled back and forth between Yecheng safely. After entering the city, he was not idle.

In order to deal with various emergencies, various countermeasures have been formulated so that different measures can be taken according to different situations.

In Yecheng, no one is brave enough to be unfavorable to the granddaughter of King Qi's daughter-in-law, Shu's granddaughter, and the same is true for the prince, so Zhang Ding and others only need to be a good guard for traveling frequently.

The emperor is about to get married, and important officials gather in Yecheng, and King Qi and the prince are among them. According to normal circumstances, Prime Minister Yuchi is unlikely to lose his mind, so there will be no accident.

However, now the Prime Minister suddenly passed away. What if someone is ready to move?

The one who wants to take action will not be King Qi, because Yecheng and surrounding areas are not his sphere of influence at all, so the one who really wants to take action will only be the other side.

This is the worst situation, and the chance of occurrence is very small, but the worst plan must be made: Zhang Ding must lead most of the guards, break through with King Qi and the prince, and rush out of Yecheng.

Then what about the princess and princesses? Could it be that I just ignore it?

Of course I have to take care of it, but I can't save it, because the princess and the prince live in the Duke's Mansion of the Kingdom of China and don't go anywhere else on weekdays. Once there is something wrong, the mother and son will definitely be unable to fly. Although the guards can sacrifice their lives to rush out, what's next?

What should I do if the Duke of the Kingdom of Shrine or his wife stops in front of me?

No matter where something happens, it will be a tragedy of human relations, so Wang Yuwen of Xiyang made a choice before leaving:

If something really happens, it must be Yuchi's actions. The guards want to escort the princess and the prince to break through the siege and go back to Shannan thousands of miles away, which is a delusion. Then it would rather let the mother and son be under house arrest than take risks.

If you flee thousands of miles away, you will be unable to get into the chaos at any time. It would be better to let the mother and son be placed under house arrest by their parents' family in the Duke of the Kingdom of Li. At least with the Duke of the Kingdom of Li, you can survive for a while.

The princess is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yuchi, and his life must be worry-free. As long as the princess is there, there is hope to save the prince's life. Therefore, some of the people in the escorts of the Xiyang Prince's Mansion still need to lurk in Yecheng and wait patiently for the opportunity to save people.

Zhang Ding needs to judge how to operate. Perhaps the situation will not come to that point. If it is pre-arranged, it may be a waste of time.

"Don't be nervous, maybe it's just a false alarm, so don't panic, don't be confused!" Zhang Ding explained to his subordinates, calm and calm.

"Have the message been sent?"

“Sent out.”

......

In Yenan City, the neighboring courtyard of the Qi Wang Mansion was closed, and the door was deserted. Since receiving the bad news several hours ago, the Qi Wang Mansion has closed its doors to thank the guests. More than a dozen visitors have been politely rejected.

In the study, King Qi Yu and Wen Liang were discussing solutions with the prince Yu Wenming. When the father and son came to Yecheng, they had fully considered various risks, but it was unexpected that Yuchi Jiong's sudden death.

Before leaving for Yecheng, Yuwen Liang judged that Yuchi Jiong was unlikely to lose his mind and took action when the emperor married. After all, there were many opportunities before, but the other party did not do it. However, this person had already gone to the fore. It is hard to say what would the successor Yuchi Dun think.

"The child thinks that Yuchi Dun will not take extreme actions."

"How do you say this?"

"The Prime Minister suddenly passed away. Yuchi Dun's duty was to stabilize the situation so as to make a smooth transition and calm people's hearts. After all, many officials were only loyal to the Prime Minister, but not necessarily loyal to him."

"Besides, Yecheng and even Hebei, Henan and Hedong are all under the control of his Yuchi family. We can't make any big waves in Yecheng. The situation is obviously beneficial to it. Why did Yuchi Dun take the risk?"

Yuwen Liang stroked his beard and nodded from time to time, agreeing with the eldest son's judgment, but he did not interrupt but listened silently.

"If we kill our father and son, Erlang can take over immediately in Shannan, and if there is a father's arrangement in Guanzhong, he will obey him. Will Yuchi Dun be afraid of forcing Erlang to be in a hurry and surrender to the Southern Dynasty?"

"At that time, Erlang and Chen State are attacking each other from the east and west, and Yuchi Dun will take over the prime minister's affairs again. The generals under him are very likely to be half-hearted. If he doesn't handle it well, Yuchi will even fall apart like Erzhu's. Who will suffer a big loss?"

"The surrendered general of the Sui State was already worried. When it was a time of chaos, should he be willing to join the Yuchi family to eat leftovers, or would he be happy to stand on Erlang's side or even join forces with the Southern Dynasty?"

"What the child means is that as long as the father does not make a misunderstanding, Yuchi Dun will naturally not take the risk."

Yu Wenming talked freely. The father and son gathered in Yecheng. It was not that they thought there would be huge risks, but after careful study, they did not think that something would happen in Yecheng, because Prime Minister Yuchi's mind was probably that the Yuchi family and the Yuwen family shared the world.

Just like the Southern Jin State, when "the king and horse share the world", the country belonged to the Yuwen family, but the Yuchi family was the one who ruled. Yuchi Jiong was worthy of his uncle and his own family, and everyone was happy.

Yuchi Jiong thought so, but his nephews might not think so. With the old prime minister in charge, Yuwen Liang and his son would not have any trouble in Yecheng, but now that Yuchi Jiong suddenly passed away, it is inevitable that someone would be ready to move.

What Yuwen Liang and Yu Wenming discussed was how likely the other party would be to lose their minds and take action. Their father and son were in Yecheng, and at this time they were like tigers entering a cage, and their destiny was in the other party's thoughts.

However, after careful analysis, Yu Wenming felt that Yuchi Dun would not have the heart to deal with them. Yu Wenliang agreed with his son's judgment, but it did not mean that he could rest assured.

"Yuchi Dun may not move, but there will always be people who want to benefit from the fisherman. Erzhu Rong was killed by the Emperor of Wei, and Erzhu successfully counterattacked and still controlled the great power of the Yuan Wei Dynasty. His strength was still extremely powerful. What's the result? Gao Huan was the one who laughed to the end!"

"My father meant that he was afraid that someone would instigate Yuchi Dun and let the Yuchi family and my Yuwen family fight each other and suffer both losses. How could he benefit from it?"

"Of course, if my father and son are killed, Erlang will definitely lead Shannan Guanzhong to form an alliance with the Southern Dynasty. At that time, the east and west will attack north at the same time. When he was in a state of great difficulty, he could only let the generals act cheaply."

"Isn't this the way Gao Huan took the opportunity to grow bigger back then?"

Yu Wenming fell into deep thought when he heard this. When Emperor Wei Yuan Ziyou killed the powerful minister Erzhu Rong, the king of Taiyuan, but Erzhu Zhao, the nephew of Erzhu Rong, succeeded in counterattacking, abolished the emperor, and still controlled the power of the court.

The Erzhu family became more arrogant and domineering, causing civil rebellion. In order to suppress the refugees, Erzhu Zhao ordered Gao Huan, who was entrenched in Hebei, to command the refugees in six towns. As a result, Gao Huan took the opportunity to achieve great achievements.

"It is hard to say that no one has such an idea. If your father can do it, you don't know if Yuchi Dun can." Yuwen Liang said this and made a decision:
