Chapter 18 Adversity Sees the Truth

After marrying into the Yuwen family for so many years, Dugu Ming and Yuwen Jue are worried and incompetent, and are well aware of the characteristics of being romantic.

Dugu Mingjing knew that Yuwen Yu's intelligence and activity, as well as the secret competition between the two brothers during the inheritance of the throne, had always been an indelible shadow in Yuwen Jue's heart and a constant worry.

Although Yuwen Jue once appointed Yuwen Yu to walk in the Military Affairs Office, Yuwen Jue could not generously tolerate the recognition and love of Yuwen Yu by the people around him.

Dugu Mingjing knew that it was precisely because of something that Empress Dowager Kang Ci, Yuwen Yu's biological mother, did accidentally, that Yuwen Jue took his anger on Yuwen Yu and not only took away all positions in Yuwen Yu, but also explicitly ordered Yuwen Yu to "study in the study room" and did not give Yuwen Yu the opportunity to participate in national affairs.

In the summer of the first year of Wucheng, Concubine Kang Ci, who had been canonized as the noble concubine, was seriously ill. Brothers Yuwen Jue and Yuwen Yu often asked about it.

One day, Yuwen Jue went to ask for advice. The concubine was sleeping in a daze, thinking it was her son Yuwen Yu, so she said, "Why are you here again? I have given everything you can give to you. His temperament is unpredictable, so don't be suspicious."

Yuwen Jue found that she had said the wrong thing and immediately called out "Um Mother". The concubine looked closely and found that it was the emperor, not Yuwen Yu, so she turned around and pretended to be asleep and stopped talking.

Since then, Xianfeng had to think about the meaning of these sentences and became suspicious of Yuwen Yu. Another day, Yuwen Jue asked for his wishes, and Yuwen Yu came out of the house. Yuwen Jue asked about his condition. Yuwen Yu knelt down and said that he was afraid that it would be cured, so he waited for the title of Empress Dowager to be able to rest in peace.

Yuwen Jue had no expression on his face, but said "Oh" twice, and said no more. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Yu then went to the Military Affairs Office and ordered his ministers to prepare the enthronement ceremony. The officials in charge came to the emperor with the enthronement plan. Yuwen Jue was very angry, but he was not able to refuse openly and reluctantly agreed to the title, honoring the imperial concubine as Empress Dowager Kang Ci.

Soon, Empress Dowager Kang Ci passed away. A week later, the imperial edict ordered Yuwen Yu to dismiss the military service and return to the study room to study. The Empress Dowager's funeral ceremony was also greatly reduced, and it was said that it was carried out by following the will.

The close relationship between Yuwen Jue and Yuwen Yu ended here. Although Dugu Mingjing did not have more opportunities to contact Yuwen Yu, he still knew a little about Yuwen Yu's abilities.

She knew that Yuwen Yu's courage and talent were completely above Yuwen Jue. She sincerely appreciated this brother-in-law. Therefore, after the British and French forces captured Tianjin, she strongly recommended Yuwen Jue to Yuwen Jue.

After Yuwen Jue escaped to the palace of Mount Li, Yuwen Yu lived up to expectations and was ordered to clean up the ruins of Chang'an, and merciled everything in an orderly manner.

When the two empress dowagers, mainly Dugu Mingjing, confronted Yuwen Hu's party, Yuwen Yu's strength became an important political weight. Whoever can win Yuwen Yu can control the overall situation.

Dugu Mingjing knew that the conditions for cooperation with Yuwen Yu were nothing more than entrusting important tasks. Dugu Mingjing’s urgent need at present was to defeat the autocratic Yuwen Hu party, and an orphan and widow were able to leave the curtain to be a great victory.

Temporarily decentralizing power to Yuwen Yu is not an excessive condition. If you cannot give it, you cannot take it; if you are stingy with reputation, you will lose it. This kind of "great wisdom" Dugu Mingjing possesses.

Yuwen Yu took a deep breath, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Did you make up your mind to refuse to support Yuwen Yong?"

Yuwen Hui, Yuwen Shen replied unanimously: "I refuse to resist death!" Yuwen Yu asked hesitantly: "What if Yuwen Xun, the prince of King of Jin, agree? "

Yuwen Hui disdainedly: "I know he can't stand us, I can't stand my father, so he will fight me if he has the courage! Humph, I think he is a hypocrite, must not be brave! "" Yuwen Yu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, Yuwen Hui and Yuwen Shen looked at him with nervous and expectant eyes.

After a while, Yuwen Yu stopped, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said decisively: "I must protect Yuwen Yong! If I kill him, I will become the sinner of killing my brother. My only hope is to minimize the chaos caused to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time. "

Yuwen Hui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you insist on protecting Yuwen Yong, then we have to persist and we must get rid of the empress dowager!

Yuwen Shen frowned and asked, "But, what should I do?" Yuwen Hui said coldly: ""A ready-made method. Bury yourselves!"

Princess Yu outside the study was shocked when she heard this. Yuwen Yu was stunned and silent. He was weighing it repeatedly, feeling a little unbearable.

Yuwen Hui was very satisfied with his thoughts, and he slapped the table: "This is a good idea! Let her be buried with her!" Yuwen Shen looked at Yuwen Yu and said: "Yuwen Yu, the crisis of the Great Zhou Kingdom is about to break out, and hesitated no time to hesitate anymore!"

The hesitation flashed across Yuwen Yu's face. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded with determination. The sky was completely dark, and the lights were lit in the side hall. The royal family members who were waiting for the news were anxious and panic all day long.

The major event was not decided, and the eunuch in charge arranged residences for each clan. Yuwen Yong, Princess Yu, Jialuo and King Yang of Qi were assigned to the Bailiang Hall. Yuwen Xian, a nine-year-old child, fell asleep on the bed in the inner hall.

Princess Yu had already escaped from the back door of Jianzhang Palace. Seeing Yuwen Xian sleeping soundly, she covered him with a thin quilt. The guards and guards all looked coldly at the royal family's every move.

Gala looked at Yuwen Xian who was sleeping and whispered: "Poor King Yang of Qi, after crying for so long, he finally fell asleep!" "" Yuwen Yong looked at the corner of the wall, dazed blankly. Gala walked over and said gently: ""Yuwen Yong, don't be sad!" ""

Yuwen Yong was anxiously: "Why haven't my sister-in-law come back yet?" ""                                                                                                                   

Yuwen Yong suddenly grabbed Gala's hand nervously: "Gala, you won't leave, right?" Gala was surprised: "Gala? Where to go?"

Yuwen Yong was sad and sad: "You just came and encountered these things. I'm afraid you... don't want to stay here... Gala: Since you come, you can rest assured. Besides, you need me! You said, believe me and will never leave you alone." Yuwen Yong couldn't speak and looked at Gala gratefully.

Gala: It's quite late, let's take a break? Yuwen Yong: I can't rest. I always think... what the emperor said to me. Gala: Oh? What did he say to you?

Yuwen Yong looked at the lights and said in a daze: That day... it was the morning before the former emperor went to the hot spring in Mount Li to recuperate...

Yuwen Yong recalled: "I rode my horse to Shanglinyuan for morning exercises. Suddenly, I came here alone. I saw that it was my last emperor. The last emperor told me that I was going to the hot spring in Mount Li and asked me to practice literature and martial arts more quickly. The last emperor said that if I could tell you all my life experience and ideals."

Yuwen Yong suddenly stopped and began to explore something: "Look, it's this, the old emperor gave me this dragon-patterned jade pendant."

Yuwen Yong seemed to be talking to himself: "The old emperor said that wars on the battlefield are difficult to fight; wars in people's hearts are even more difficult to fight... Only by subduing oneself can the enemy be subdued!"

Gala thought: Could it be that Yuwen Yong had guessed it? Yuwen Yong saw Gala as if he was in deep thought and woke her up hard: "Gala, what's wrong with you?"

Gala pondered: "Well, I'm just thinking about the few words you just said. I don't understand what the deep meaning is in these words. However, Emperor Wen's words must make sense in his lifetime."

Yuwen Yong showed the dragon pendant to Gala: "The emperor asked me to save this well. He said, "Your dragon pendant is nothing else!"

Gala tempted: This means... did he choose you to succeed the emperor?

Yuwen Yong shook his head: How could I know? But I don’t think so. Later, he chose Brother Jue as the prince.”

Garo thought and said: Maybe... your late emperor had already made a decision in his heart, but you are neither legitimate nor elder. You are young and cannot suppress others without military merits. He had no choice but to make the decision.

Yuwen Yong was sad: I was not in the mood to think about it now. I only miss my mother. Gala, I was worried that something must have happened to her. Gala comforted him: What can happen? No.

Yuwen Yong asked in confusion: Why did the Datongzhu lock us up here and not go out? Gala's speechless: This...

Yuwen Yong said worriedly: Gala, can you find a way to ask if my mother is still safe in the bedroom? Why don’t she come out? She doesn’t let us in?

Gala felt a little timid in his heart, but when he saw Yuwen Yong's expectant gaze, she thought about it and decided to take this risk.

Yang Jian and other civil and military officials returned home before the Tianhei Palace were handed down, but they were not allowed to go out privately. The main aristocratic families were monitored by officers and soldiers and could not act rashly.

Dugu Mansion is as usual. Mrs. Cui complained about the world: "Master, what did you think about Otsukazu, where did we leave our Xiaoqi? He..."

Dugu Xin looked leisurely: "Why are my foot washing water not ready yet?"

Mrs. Cui: "Master, you think of a solution! No matter how the situation changes, our Xiaoqi stays there, and innocence may become guilty in the future!"

Dugu Xin said: "I want to save you. You have to know that old man, I am now the fish on the chopping board and can be slaughtered at any time. But don't worry, Otsukazai has always felt guilty about Gala's biological mother and wants her granddaughter."

Cui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's right, the tiger poison is not enough to eat the child. Can the master rely on the relationship between Xiaoqi and Otsukazai to seek peace with Otsukazai, so that we don't have to be slaughtered."

Dugu Xin laughed: "What you think is beautiful! The death of Gala's biological mother, Otsukazuka has always hated me. I have never settled this account with me for so many years. I am already lucky. I still borrowed the light of Qiyatou?"

Cui was very angry: "This indiscriminate Otsukasaki."

Dugu Xin sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that Gala's biological mother is so beautiful that she was granted a sick person because she was a concubine's daughter. I was full of confidence and wanted to take her out of such a hell-like life, but she lost her life!"
