Chapter 263 Weng Son-in-law (continued)
"Oh hehe, let me settle the score? Do you still have the face to settle the score with me? You unfilial sons from the Yuchi family remember your deceased father now?"
Yuwen Wen tried his best to suppress his "mouth power". If the person in front of him was not his father-in-law, he would have scolded the other party and vomited blood and died. At this time, he reached out and grabbed Yuchi Shun's collar and roared:
"The King of Shu was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the mainstay of supporting the country. Originally, the king and his subjects could be named after history. You should change the dynasty? Now that it is going to be over, one by one, you will die if you are satisfied. What should you do if you have the tomb of the King of Shu? What should you do if you are whipped by someone to be opened in a coffin? Tell me!!"
"You are leaving, are you going to die, right? It's easy for you to die. Who sweeps the tomb of King Shu first? During the festivals, who worships the tablets of King Shu first?"
"There is a Shun in the name, who is so filial to his father? He also has the face to die! I am not afraid of death, will the King of Shu scold you as a beast first?"
The son-in-law cursed at close range, and his saliva sprayed his father-in-law's face. Yuchi Shun was yelled like this for a while, as if he was taking a blow and realized a problem.
It doesn't matter if he is finished. What if his father is whipped out of his coffin? What if no one worships the tombs and tablets in a day?
Maybe Yuchi Jiade could survive, but he couldn't stand it. However, the Chang'an court settled the accounts after the autumn, and could not say that he would really dig out Yuchi Jiong's coffin and crush the remains torn.
This is not the result that Yuchi Shun wants to see.
"I... I'm here to pay for the crime, and I want to kill me! Whether it's sacrificing or spreading it to the world! These things have nothing to do with my father!"
Yuchi Shun was almost begging his son-in-law. After all, his son-in-law could go and ask King Qi. He had to do everything possible to ensure that his father's body could be more decent. Yuwen Wen saw that his father-in-law had figured it out and let go.
In order to convince the other party not to seek death, Yuwen Wen thought of a "script". Now that he succeeded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You Xu Tuzhi".
"No hurry, the son-in-law has his own arrangements."
Yuchi Shun quickly asked: "What arrangement?"
"I'll know in the future. Let's avoid the limelight first. I can't show up during this period."
Yuwen Wen said confidently that he naturally wanted to protect his father-in-law's family. To be honest, he didn't want to see the King of Shu Yuchi Jiong who was whipped out of the coffin.
The reason is very simple. If Yuchi Jiong had not turned the tide, the Zhou Kingdom would have been over. With the strength of Anzhou and Xiangzhou alone, how could he withstand Yang Jian's enchanting army?
Regardless of whether Yuchi Jiong had any other thoughts after he destroyed the Sui Dynasty, at least Yuchi Jiong did not usurp the throne before his death, he was not good to the emperor. Although he did not return to power, he did not regard Yuwen Qiankeng as a "dog-legged person".
It was Yuchi Dun, who was the son, who had something wrong, and it was not what Yuchi Jiong did.
If the court recaptured Yecheng in the future and did the act of defeating the body of Yuchi Jiong and expelling the bones and ashes, this behavior would definitely be criticized as ungratefulness.
But Yuwen Wen has no choice but to make decisions now, so he has to look at the right time to act. So the most important thing now is to let his father-in-law "disappear" and avoid the limelight, so as not to be difficult for everyone to deal with.
"The son-in-law will find a good place to let the father-in-law calmly cultivate and wait for the official army to recover Yecheng. The son-in-law promises that he will definitely be able to join the whole group..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuchi Shun punched him. Yuwen Wen, who was caught off guard, was punched in the face, and the anger that had just disappeared rose again, covered his face and glared: "What are you doing to hit me!"
Yuchi Shun stared at Yuwen Wen and said, "Si Niang is innocent, but you took her as a concubine. She can't raise her head in front of others. So what if I punch you!"
Listening to this question, Yuwen Wen was stunned and wanted to refute, but couldn't speak because he was in the wrong hands in front of his father-in-law.
It makes sense, but I was speechless!
......
Outside the courtyard, Yuwen Wen, whose cheeks had not yet swelled, explained some things to Zhang Dingfa, the Sima of the Prince's Mansion. Since Yuchi Shun's mood was relieved and he was thinking about it, the next thing would be much easier.
He wants Yuchi Shun to "disappear"
The basic principle is to hide people well. Even if someone may guess that Yuwen Wen, who is the son-in-law, is a fool, as long as there is no evidence, no one can do anything about Yuwen Wen.
This is the most critical point. Yuwen Wen wants his father-in-law to fade out of people's horizons. If necessary, he will live an incognito life from then on and live a life of nobility.
This arrangement is a good way. It is not difficult to do it, but you must be cautious. The fewer people who know the inside story, the better. Of course, if Yuwen Wen is cruel enough, killing most insiders is the safest way.
But he felt it was unnecessary, because such a way of defeating character would make his subordinates feel heartbroken. Even if Yuchi Shun's identity was leaked in the future, Yuwen Wen felt that there would not be too much trouble at that time.
As long as Yuchi Shun doesn't show up now, he will not be killed. He avoided the limelight. After the power of the Yuchi family disappeared, he might need a "mascot" to reflect the clear rewards and punishments of the emperor, and his affection and righteousness.
Yuchi Jiong, who turned the tide and saved the country from danger, even if his unfilial son does a great deed, he still has his descendants bathed in the dynasty's kindness. Isn't this the best reward for loyal ministers by the emperor?
Yuchi Shun, who holds heavy troops, is an accomplice to assist the evildoer, and the emperor wants to get rid of it and get out of the way; while Yuchi Shun, who has no ability to cause trouble, is the best person for the emperor to show his demeanor.
But Yuwen Wen was not sure if the emperor could really do this, so he had to let Yuchi Shun "disappear" first. After a few years, he would make further plans depending on the opportunity.
He would not take the initiative to protect his father-in-law because it would cost a lot of political resources and would have to owe many favors, let alone Yuwen Wen himself owed a lot of debts.
Yuwen Wen's prince Yuwen Weicheng was a pseudo-emperor, and the princess Yuchi Chifan was a "responsible queen". These were all death sentences of great rebellion. Even if the mother and son were forced, in the era of "the king, the ministers and the ministers", this was a political stain that would never be erased.
Even though the emperor pardoned the mother and son's sins several times, this matter was still unavoidable. In order to relieve his wife and son, Yuwen Wen had consumed a lot of political resources and favors. If he had to evade Yuchi Shun's crimes, the price he had to pay was very high.
It was so high that Yuwen Wen could not bear it.
Because those civil and military officials who participated in the quelling of the "Yuchi Rebellion" and made great contributions to all kinds of contributions, they would inevitably feel suspicious when they saw him killing his father-in-law Yuchi Shun, and they were afraid that they would be counterattacked in the future. Then their hostility and vigilance would inevitably surge, and they would even directly choose hostile stance.
In the court, offended a large number of powerful officials for no reason and created a large group of potential hostile forces. This was extremely stupid political suicide.
So for Yuwen Wen, instead of resisting and protecting Yuchi Shun, it is better to hide the other party first. After a few years, the "remnant poison" of Yuchi's family was wiped out, and the emperor is very likely to need to build a archway.
At that time, it may be based on the story of Huo Guang in the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang was the entrusted official of Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, who assisted Liu Fuling (Emperor Zhao of Han). Liu Fuling died. Huo Guang welcomed Emperor Wu's grandson Liu He as his new king, but he was deposed as the Marquis of Haihun after only twenty-seven days.
Huo Guang then found Liu Bingji, the grandson of Prince Li Liu Ju, who was wandering among the people, and made him the emperor.
Huo Guang, who deposed the emperor, was powerful in the court and the country. After Liu Bingji ascended the throne, he changed his name to Liu Xun. He lived under the shadow of Huo Guang, and his original wife was also killed by the Huo family. When Liu Xun got along with Huo Guang, he felt like "a thorn on his back".
After Huo Guang's death, Liu Xun eliminated the Huo family who intended to rebel, but did not implicate Huo Guang and did not open the coffin and whip the body.
A few years later, the Han army defeated the Huns. Liu Xun recalled the past assisting the meritorious officials, so he asked someone to paint images of eleven meritorious officials in Qilin Pavilion to commemorate and commend, and Huo Guang ranked first.
However, because his family was beheaded after his death, the portrait did not remember Huo Guang's full name, but was only respected as "Grand Sima, General, Bolu Hou, and the surname Huo". Later, Han emperors throughout the ages respected and worshiped Huo Guang, and regarded Huo Guang as the descendants of Huo Guang's cousins as Bolu Hou, and worshipped Huo Guang.
There is such a precedent. Yuwen Wen felt that the emperor would probably "follow the rules" in a few years and give Yuchi Jiong a decent treatment to similar experiences. At that time, if Yuchi Jiong's son Yuchi Shun and grandson Yuchi Jiade appeared, he could be erected as a archway.
Before that, Yuwen Wen wanted to make Yuchi Shun "disappear". If time could not erase the emperor's hatred, or the situation could not allow Yuchi Shun to appear, then Yuchi Shun and his son would hide their names, and he would serve the tablet of Yuchi Jiong at home and silently continue the incense for the Yuchi family.
As a son-in-law, Yuwen Wen felt that he had done this and had done his best. However, when he was able to recover Yecheng, how would he place his father-in-law and his family be settled?
