In the evening, in Chang'an City, Yuwen Shiwu inspected the mansion. Wang Yuwen Wen and his family are now far away in Bozhou. Yuwen Shiwu asked Yuwen Shiwu to go to the King of Bi's mansion in Chang'an from time to time to work as a part-time supervisor in the city.

This mansion is much more grand than the royal mansion in Xiyang City. After all, it is given by the emperor. It is too shabby to be able to take action. Let’s not talk about anything else, the royal mansion cannot occupy too small land.

King Bin made great achievements in combat and made great contributions. He not only saved the emperor, but also saved the eldest princess. If the emperor gave King Bin's mansion in Chang'an was only of sparse and ordinary level, it would be laughed at.

When Yuwen Shiwu came to the backyard, he looked at the garden in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. This garden alone occupies a larger area than the royal palace in Xiyang City. The garden is covered with green trees and lush. At first glance, it seems like it is in the woods.

Of course, this is a carefully created garden scene. The tall tree canopy blocks the rows of buildings outside, which makes people feel illusion.

If you really want to be indulged in the mountains and rivers, you have to set up a villa outside the city to occupy the entire land. The scale of the woods alone can be made large, and hunting for eagles and dogs on weekdays is not a problem.

This kind of life was once what Yuwen Shiwu longed for, and also what the man-in-law longed for.

That year, Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, was just an ordinary idle royal family. He was flew with other powerful children and had fun. His dream was to be a powerful official, then marry and have children, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

There were more than 50 members of the royal family back then, and one of them, Xiyang County Duke, probably had few chances to make a name for himself, so being a free and illegitimate family was Yuwen Wen's biggest and most realistic dream, and Yuwen Shiwu thought so.

However, the situation suddenly changed. In the bloody storm, it was impossible for the master and servant to return to the past and live a leisurely life.

Even though after ten years and after great hardships and finally defeated one strong enemy after another, the road ahead is still uneven. Yuwen Shiwu got Yuwen Wen to analyze it many times and knew that the current situation is not peaceful now.

Therefore, although Yuwen Shiwu, who is in Chang'an, has been socializing every day, he has never taken it lightly and has no delay in his work at all.

Yuwen Shiwu transferred to the side courtyard of the royal mansion and met the guests at his temporary residence. The guests were actually spies from the royal mansion and had to report to him if there were any secrets.

Because Yuwen Shiwu is now in Chang'an, he has become the intelligence leader of the Bin Palace, responsible for taking charge of Chang'an affairs and making decisions on the spot.

Today, the spy submitted a "monthly briefing". Although it is called a briefing, it is a thick stack of information. The spy from the Prince of Bin's mansion has been lurking in Chang'an City for many years. The intelligence network it has created is quite large, so there is a lot of information summarized in the monthly briefing.

According to the rules, information is divided into several categories to facilitate classified reading.

Yuwen Shiwu looked through the briefing and asked about the current situation of some key figures from time to time. The first is the "Class A goal": Yu Wenshu, Duke of Baoguo and his prince Yu Culture and.

Yu Wen Shu, the Duke of Baoguo, is now the general manager of Heyang. His second son Yu Wen Zhiji, had a grudge with Yu Wen Wen at that time, and the two plotted against each other. In the end, Yu Wen Zhiji died, so Yu Wen Shu and Yu Wen Wen had a grudge against killing their son.

But based on various signs, Yu Wenshu's eldest son Yu Wenji seems to be more vengeful, so the first person to be focused on by the spy of the Prince of Bin lurking in Chang'an is Yu Wenji.

Today, Yu Wenjie became a close minister of the emperor because of his contribution to the rescue of the emperor. This is a serious hidden danger for Yu Wen Wen. Therefore, Yu Wen Shiwu now specially made friends with another close minister, Mr. Liu, who was the emperor, to find a way to constrain Yu Wenjie.

The eldest princess and King Bin have a strong friendship and will inevitably speak for King Bin, but they can't let the eldest princess stand out in everything, so King Bin needs other "helpers" to constrain Yu Wen and the emperor.

Of course, as a close minister of the emperor, Mr. Liu should not be too close to foreign ministers if he has a little brain, at least on the surface. Therefore, the main purpose of Yuwen Shiwu's move is to show off his posture and let Mr. Liu know King Bin's kindness.

Mr. Liu and Yu Wenji were not from the same place. They were both heroes who saved the emperor and were trusted by the emperor and could speak well in front of the emperor. Yu Wen Shiwu should indirectly warn Yu Wenji not to always think about saying strange words about King Bin in the ear of the emperor.

Of course, even if the emperor has an opinion on King Bin, it doesn’t matter.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Shiwu looked at other contents of the briefing and listened to the introduction of the spy.

In short, there is no peace in Chang'an City, and all forces are competing in secret. Although they will not break up, they can be called a surging undercurrent. After all, with the demise of the Yuchi family, another contradiction will gradually intensify sooner or later.

The emperor will never be willing to hold the power in King Qi's hand.

This is an extremely sensitive issue. The powerful and powerful people in Chang'an City avoided talking about it, but as time goes by, this issue will not be avoided sooner or later. Will King Qi return to power?

In theory, we should return to politics, but what is the difference between this and suicide?

These decades of bloody storms show that the emperor and powerful ministers can no longer coexist.

Of course, Yuwen Shiwu knew that the court was in harmony today, and there was no gap between the emperor and King Qi, at least to outsiders.

The emperor never made any dissatisfaction with King Qi, but what the emperor thought in his heart was indefinite.

Yuwen Shiwu knew that King Qi was not the prime minister. Although he was the chief of the Tianguan, he did not have the power to "the chief of the five prefectures and the heavenly officials". In theory, he was not in power and could not threaten the emperor's power.

However, as long as you have the power to "govern the military affairs of China and abroad", it is enough.

"General the military affairs of China and foreign countries" means commanding the military and foreign countries. As long as the military power is in hand, King Qi will have a real and nameless rule, just like Taizu, who was "General the military affairs of China and foreign countries" in the Wei State back then.

At that time, Taizu even resigned from his position as prime minister, retaining the title of "General of the Chinese and foreign military affairs" and firmly holding the power of the court.

So, in a few years, will King Qi take that step and replace it?

Yuwen Shiwu believes that many powerful people are thinking about this problem in their hearts, and it is also because of this. Now that Chang'an City is not peaceful, the information collected by the spies from Prince Bin's Mansion indirectly confirmed the situation.

The emperor has been winning people's hearts and trying to cultivate the "Imperial Party". Now he is planning a wedding and is selecting girls from aristocratic families, and then recruiting them as queens to attract foreign relatives as strong support.

King Qi made a secret arrangement without hesitation, and continued to control the power by appointing his confidants and confidants to take important positions.

In fact, King Qi is also winning people's hearts. Yuwen Shiwu didn't know whether King Qi really had that idea, or to assist the emperor more effectively and protect the country, but he knew that King Qi would not take it lightly.

Everyone who can use it has used it, and for this reason, King Bin also became a chess piece of King Qi and played an important role.

Yuwen Shiwu knew that King Bin is now in charge of Henan, but not only has the open responsibilities, but actually shoulders an important task given by King Qi, which is to monitor Hebei, especially Yecheng.

The position of Xiangzhou chief supervisor, King Qi did not allow his own people to serve as a selfless person, so the current Xiangzhou chief supervisor, who is left behind in Yecheng, was directly appointed by the emperor.

If there really is one day, the Xiangzhou General Manager is very likely to issue a "secret edict" and lead his troops south to attack Luoyang, and then enter Guanzhong to serve the king.

But before that, the other party had to resolve the threat from Henan, and King Bin, who was in charge of Henan, could send troops to cross the river north through Baimajin and advance to Yecheng, so that the other party could understand the situation and not make wrong choices.

The court with a harmonious atmosphere on the surface is actually undercurrents. Yuwen Shiwu, who is in Chang'an, is in a whirlpool. Through the briefing in his hand, he sees the erratic position of the powerful and wealthy people. Looking back on the ups and downs over the past ten years, he can't help but sigh.
