The next morning, residents of Zhangshanfang saw that there was a white banner hanging in Yuwen's mansion. Someone was dead. People in the yard were talking. Someone saw the princess and the prince consort's carriage coming at night. Everyone guessed that it was very likely that Yuwen Shu had passed away.

Soon, the news of Yuwen Shu's death spread throughout Luoyang City. Yuwen Shu started his business by slandering people. Countless families were destroyed in his hands, causing him to make countless enemies in the court and the country. Few people sympathized with his death. Most people couldn't help but be excited when they heard the news of his death. Many even heard the sound of gongs and drums.

However, there are many different opinions on the cause of Yuwen Shu's death. Some people say that he couldn't do it a few years ago, and it is normal to delay it until now. Some insiders say that it was because of his son Yuwen Zhiji's accident that Yuwen Shu was angry to death.

There was a lot of crying in Yuwen's mansion. Yu Wen and mourning were wearing hemp and mourning clothes. He stood in front of the mourning hall to accept some old friends and officials coming to mourn.

At this time, Yuan Min, a middle-class man, hurried over. He bowed to Yu Wenhe and went into the spirit shed to burn incense and worship. After a moment, he came out and whispered to Yu Wenhe and said, "Brother Yuwen will take a step to speak."

The two walked aside and Yuanmin asked, "How is Zhiji's situation?"

Yu Wenji sighed, "Life is saved, but without legs, I can't stand up in the second half of my life, but I don't know who made the harsh move!" At the end, Yu Wenji couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

"Don't he know?"

"He was drunk and said he only remembered that he had caught him in a forest and had no idea who had taken him, but he said it might be."

"It may be Zhang Xuan, right?" Yuan Min said coldly.

Yu Wenji was shocked, "How do you know, brother?"

"He told me last night that he had a conflict with Zhang Xuan's men at noon. He broke Yang Shanhui's limbs, so he broke his legs. Isn't it just to fight tooth with teeth?"

"This damn bastard!"

Yu Wenhua and his eyes were red with hatred, "My father died at his hands. I want to report to the Lord and let the Lord punish him severely!"

Yuanmin shook his head, "If there is no evidence, I advise my brother not to act rashly."

At this moment, a family came to report, "Young Master, the King of Yan is coming down."

Yu Wen and Yuanmin were both shocked. This was the King of Yan coming to celebrate the filial piety for the emperor. Yu Wenji didn't care about Yuanmin and hurriedly walked towards the spiritual shed. He saw Yan Wang Yang Neng wearing a plain white dress, walking expressionlessly surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

Yu Wenji knelt down in a hurry and saluted. "I'm going to see Your Highness!"

Although Yang Nai deeply hated Yuwen Shu for his misfortune, the emperor's grandfather asked him to come and confess his filial piety, and he dared not come. He resisted the annoyance in his heart and reached out to give in, "A person cannot be resurrected when he dies. Please ask Mr. Yuwen to be mourning and follow the changes. The emperor should have come to express his filial piety in person, but his health has not yet recovered, so he had to let this representative come."

Yu Wenhe said in tears: "Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your care!"

Yang Neng didn't say much, walked into the spirit shed to burn incense and worship. At this time, Yuan Min gave Yu Wen and was moved. Yu Wen and understood. When Yang Neng came out, he knelt down and cried, "My father died of sadness because of his brother Zhihe's injury. Zhihe was seriously injured in innocent life. He begged Your Highness to make the decision for the empress!"

"Who is your brother hurt?" Yang Yan was already a little impatient, but he still held back his anger and asked.

"Your Highness, my brother was seriously injured by Zhang Xuan. He was tortured in the Jamshaven and lost his legs. He was extremely cruel!"

Yang Qing frowned, how could it be Zhang Xuan? He shook his head and said, "Young Master, you're wrong! Zhang Xuan came from Mayi County yesterday. How could he hurt your brother for no reason?"

"Your Highness doesn't know that because Zhihe had a misunderstanding with his subordinates at noon yesterday, he held a grudge and took revenge on Zhihe cruelly last night."

Yang Qing pondered for a moment, "Do you have any evidence?"

"This... because Zhang Xuan was too cunning. No evidence was left, but I know it was what he did!"

Yang Qing's face sank, "General Zhang is an important official in the court and the first hero to save the emperor this time. I know that his achievements will make many people jealous, but if there is no evidence, it is best not to frame him randomly. If it were not for Ling Zun's death, I would never give up those who have ulterior motives!"

Yang Qing couldn't bear it anymore, so she turned around and left quickly. Yu Wen and her face turned white and red. He knew that Yang Qing had always favored Zhang Xuan, which made him feel so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but there was no way.

At this time, Yuan Min walked up and said earnestly: "Without evidence, young master, don't expect others to make decisions for you. If you want to avenge this revenge, young master can only rely on himself. One day, young master will take charge of the power of the world, are you still afraid that you can't kill Zhang Xuan?"

Yuanmin's very straightforward provocation did not make Yu Wenhua and his disgust. On the contrary, Yuanmin's words reached his heart. He slowly clenched his fists. This was his father's will, and he must wait for this day to come.

Zhang Xuan led his army to leave the capital overnight. He didn't know the news of Yuwen Shu's death, and he didn't expect that his revenge on Yuwen Zhiji would be so angry that Yuwen Shu would die of fury. If he knew, he would definitely drink wine and drink to celebrate the death of his great enemy.

Before dawn, the army arrived at Longtan, which was a deep pool formed by Yishui. Thousands of large ships of Yang Guang were moored, and special officials were responsible for the supervision. Zhang Xuan really admired Yu Shiji's power and efficiency. Just yesterday afternoon, he received the approval of the Shipbuilding Department of the Ministry of Works and the Shaofu Supervisor's ship transfer order, allowing him to select ten large ships from the miscellaneous ships to go south.

The so-called miscellaneous ship is a ship other than the dragon boat team, mainly an auxiliary ship that transports supplies or food. At least half of the emperor's dragon boat team are miscellaneous ships, with a load of more than a thousand stones.

The dragon boat is under the jurisdiction of Zuo Shang Office, the Shaofu Supervisor. Not only the dragon boat, the emperor's chariot and other water-walking tools are all their powers. The official responsible for the dragon boat is Zuo Shangcheng, who is just an eighth-rank official named He Zhengyu. In addition to the official office, there are also a thousand soldiers responsible for guarding the safety of the dragon boat.

When Zhang Xuan handed over the transfer order signed by Yu Shiji to the Zuo Shangcheng, He Zhengyu flattered and bowed to Zhang Xuan and smiled: "A general can carry a ship, and the general can choose any two thousand miscellaneous ships."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I want several large ships. I heard that two strait boats are also here. Does He Shucheng know?"

Hengyang Zhou is the name of the army. He Zhengyu is just an eighth-rank civil servant. He has never heard of it. After rummaging through the registration book for a long time, he could not find the so-called Hengyang Zhou. At this time, a shrewd old official next to him whispered: "I'm afraid General Zhang is talking about the two large ships carrying forage materials."

He Zhengyu suddenly woke up and smiled and said, "Can the general refer to the two largest forage ships?"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and knew it.”

He Zhengyu quickly arranged a small boat to accompany Zhang Xuan into Longtan. The dragon pond was densely filled with various ships, covering the sky and the sun, stretching for dozens of miles. The ship he wanted was not found from the shore. He walked seven or eight miles. He Zhengyu pointed to the two large ships in front of him that were parked in the middle of the river, "That's it!"

Although the two ships were a little worn, Zhang Xuan still recognized them at a glance. They were the two horizontal boats he was looking for. The hull was extremely large and mixed with hundreds of ships carrying forage and food, which made Zhang Xuan sigh in his heart. The country's important weapons were actually neglected to this extent, which also proved the decline of the Great Sui Dynasty from one aspect.

The old official who accompanied them to watch the boat next to him was a knowledgeable person. He also sighed and said, "When the Sui Dynasty was in its prime, we built ten such ocean-going ocean-going boats in Luoyang and Jiangning. Now there are only two left, and no one cares about them anymore."

Zhang Xuan glanced at him and asked with a smile: "What do you call this big brother?"

"I dare not, the villain is called Wang Heng, who was originally the deputy manager of Luoyang Shipyard."

Zhang Xuan's heart moved. He felt that this thin old official was hinting that since he was the deputy manager of the Luoyang Shipyard, he must have known these two scattered boats very well.

Zhang Xuan smiled at He Zhengyu and said, "Shicheng He, I don't know much about ships. I just don't have a person who understands ships. Why don't you lend me your subordinates together!"

"this"

He Zhengyu glanced at Wang Heng, and Wang Heng hurriedly said, "I am willing to follow General Zhang to the south."

He Zhengyu did not dare to reject Zhang Xuan, so he had to agree, "Okay! I have no objection."

Everyone got ashore and He Zhengyu went to arrange the ship. Then Zhang Xuan smiled at Wang Heng and said, "If I guess correctly, these two Hengyang boats were personally supervised by Manager Wang, right!"

Wang Heng bowed and bowed, his eyes a little wet, and his voice choked and said, "Only the general in the world understands its importance. How can I, Wang Heng, not follow the general!". (To be continued.)
