After Yang Jian was re-employed by the imperial court, he was very satisfied and returned to the capital from his post as Grand Administrator of Nanyanzhou in Jianghuai River to serve as Grand Sima of Food and Clothing.

On the way to take office, Yang Jian muttered to himself.

"The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is like fire and water. On one side of the confrontation are Wang Gui and Yuwen Xiaobo, who once told Emperor Wu to take strict precautions against us. On the other side are Liu Pi and Zheng Yi, the confidants of the new emperor. Although we are noble

For the state leader, I am caught in the middle and am an official with a lot of troops. No matter which way I go, there will be someone I am going to offend."

Yang Jiansi thought about it all the way and was always uneasy. When he arrived at Chang'an, the capital, he knelt down and begged his son-in-law timidly.

"My ministers traveled day and night to return to the imperial court, not daring to disobey the emperor's orders. However, I occasionally felt cold and unwell for a while on the way. I boldly request your majesty to allow me to rest at home for a few days."

Yu Wenyun glanced at Yang Jian who was bowing and didn't know what to say, so he agreed.

"My father-in-law worked tirelessly to return to the court to fulfill his orders. It was really hard on you along the way. We will allow you to go home to recuperate. When my father-in-law recovers, I will call you at any time."

After the new emperor ascended the throne and the important officials from various departments in the court were in place after some bargaining and deliberation, the top priority they had to do now was to hold the funeral for the previous emperor.

Emperor Wu's mourning hall was located in the Dade Hall. In front of his father's coffin, the new emperor Yu Wenyun not only showed no sadness on his face, but also touched the scars where he had been beaten with his father's rod, gritted his teeth, pointed at the coffin and cursed.

"Old man, you are dead, can you still beat us with a stick?"

As soon as these disobedient words came out, many royal relatives and civil and military officials in front of Emperor Wu all pointed at Yuwen Yun.

"Today, the soul of the late emperor has not yet left, but you have cursed your father so shamelessly. Are you still considered a human being for doing this? How can you not make the people of the world laugh at you?"

Not to be outdone, Yu Wenyun immediately started a verbal battle with the Confucians and Taoists.

"You civil servants have always looked down on us before. You always thought that I was an unteachable dandy, and you actually interfered with my father's plan to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. Now that I have inherited the throne, you must be very unhappy, right? Look at the future of us.

How to deal with you bunch of gossips."

In particular, the Grand Prime Minister Qi Wang Yuwenxian was extremely chilled when he heard his nephew say such words.

He recalled the present and the past, remembering the brotherly friendship he had with Emperor Wu when he was a classmate. He remembered that he once followed Yu Wenhu, but was tolerated by the emperor's brother and was still reused. Mixed with many past events, he couldn't kneel in front of the emperor's brother's soul, so he cursed angrily.

"Yu Wenyun, I really regret letting the emperor make you the crown prince. Wasn't it for your own good that your father beat and scolded you before he was alive? Now that the emperor has just passed away, you have shown your bestiality. As the emperor's uncle, we should do it for you.

Dad will discipline you and see if we don’t kill you, you unfilial son.”

As he spoke, Yu Wenxian drew out his sword, and the minister standing by him quickly stopped him with quick eyes and hands.

"General Manager, why do you need to give ordinary knowledge to children? Your Majesty is still young and his temper will naturally improve after a few years."

Thinking of many past events and the virtues of his nephew Yu Wen Yun, Yu Wen Xian knelt in front of the mourning body and cried so much that he almost fainted. Finally, with the help of eunuchs and eunuchs, he went to the back of the mourning hall to rest.

When Yu Wenxian passed by the new emperor, he silently glanced at Yu Wen Yun who was present with murderous eyes, only to see that his eyes were filled with the same blood color as Yu Wen Hu. This glance made Yu Wen Yun feel inexplicable horror.

He was feeling uneasy and his eyes were not focused on his father's funeral at all, but instead he was murmuring in his heart.

"Yu Wenxian is no worse than his father in terms of leading troops in war or in civil and military affairs. Among the current civil and military officials, Yu Wenxian's prestige is higher than that of Wang Gui and Yuwen Xiaobo. Among the seniors of our Yuwen family, none of them are son or stepfather.

However, all the thrones are passed down from brother to brother. After the death of Emperor Taizong Xiaomin and Emperor Yuwenjue, the throne was passed to his younger brother Yuwenyu. After the death of Emperor Yuwenyu, the throne was passed to his younger brother Emperor Wu Yuwenyong. If those ministers with ulterior motives could not look down upon us that day

If we do, we may make the Grand Prime Minister Yu Wenxian the emperor."

Thinking of this, Yu Wenyun shuddered again and started to think first. The more he looked at his uncle, the more he wanted to kill him immediately to eliminate the trouble later.

That night, in a small room specially arranged for the new emperor next to Emperor Wu's mourning shed, Liu Pi and Zheng Yi were called in, and he stepped back and told Liu and Zheng about their plans to take measures against Yu Wenxian.

"You two have always been our confidants. Yu Wenxian was the one whom my father trusted the most during his lifetime when he held a heavy army. We don't want to be like Zhao Kuangyin 400 years later and was forced to give up his military power over a glass of wine."

Liu Pi whispered.

"Then what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"We wanted to kill him, but no matter how smart Yu Wenxian was, he never imagined that we would let archers ambush him on the roof and shoot him unprepared."

Zheng Yi continued.

"What the Holy One said is absolutely true. The Grand Chief's eyes are really poisonous. Every time I see the Grand Chief, I will feel uncomfortable with his gaze."

Liu Pi added more fuel and jealousy.

"The Grand Prime Minister Yu Wenxian seems to be a humble person in life, but he is much more powerful than when Yu Wenhu threatened the emperor and made the princes and palaces rebel. If this person is not eliminated, it will be a serious evil for the Zhou Dynasty."

Yu Wenyun, who was young and young, was already beating drums in his heart. After the two people said this, he felt that the emperor's uncle was more serious than he thought, so he immediately sent someone to call Xue Guogong's eldest grandson.

Changsunlan himself was generous, refined, and resourceful. He was well versed in scriptures and scriptures, and he was well versed in music. His ancestors had served as officials for generations. Because he was good at attacking cities and strongholds and recruiting enemies, he was appreciated by Emperor Wu and named him Changsunlan.

At this time, the eldest son Lanzheng was commanding the palace guards as a Su Wei and was serving in front of Emperor Wu's spirit. He responded to the imperial edict and entered Yu Wenyun's resting room and said behind him.

"Why is the Holy Minister calling me?"

Yuwen Yun said.

"Please pay attention to the words and deeds of the mourning princes. If you find any inappropriate remarks among the princes, report them immediately and we will reward you generously."

Changsun Lan was unwilling when he heard this, so he rubbed his neck and said.

"Does Your Majesty want us to do something unkind? I don't want any reward from Your Majesty. We have to tell Your Majesty that there are no improper remarks in this palace, only those confused but suspicious kings. Everyone knows about Emperor Shuxian's behavior.

That is because I have devoted my life to protecting the country and serving the great Zhou Dynasty. The loyal words are offensive to my ears. If your majesty wants to take my head, then please do it. If we make a moan, we are not a hero appreciated by the late emperor."

The new emperor wanted to cause a murder during the funeral but failed. During the funeral, everything was calm. Three days after Emperor Wu was buried, the princes returned home. Yu Wenyun was worried and sent his confidant Liu Pi to take Xue Jong to the home of the Grand Prime Minister Yu Wenxian to express condolences.

.

According to legend, Yu Wenxian was Xin Huan Linfan, the deputy minister of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, who sought Jiang Ziya and Huang Tianhua to avenge their master Wen Zhong because King Wu was attacking Zhou. Unexpectedly, he was met by Lei Zhenzi who was coming to support him on the way. Seeing that this person did not look like a good person, he

In the spirit of not practicing martial ethics, he used a wrought iron rod to sneak attack him to death.

After Xin Huan passed away, Ji Jun, the Emperor of the South, saw the Northern Dynasty in the midst of war.

"Xin Huan, Emperor Xuanyuan has sent Ying Long down to the lower realm to become the emperor of the Northern Dynasty. The Northern Dynasty needs to stop the meaningless war that wastes people and money, so you can go down to the lower realm to assist Youdao Mingjun and create an enlightened and prosperous age with him."

Then Yuwen Yun sent Yuwen Xiaobo, who was the junior chief minister, to Yu Wenxian's home to solicit opinions on the prince's appointment as the third official. Yuwen Xiaobo conveyed the decree to Yu Wenxian.

"The Holy One plans to confer the position of Three Dukes to some wise men among his relatives, and especially wants to appoint you as Grand Master, which is a very important position for a minister."

Yu Wenxian immediately declined politely.

"You go back to the palace and thank us for your kindness. However, I am not worthy of this lofty position. We really do not deserve the post of Grand Master. The positions of the Three Dukes should be held by the heroes who fought with Taizu in the past. If

Only using our brothers from the Yuwen family may attract criticism from loyal ministers, which is not conducive to the stable development of the imperial court."

Yuwen Xiaobo returned to the palace and reported Yu Wenxian's words to Yuwen Yun word for word.

At this time, Yu Wenyun felt that he had hit a soft nail, not too big or too small. He also felt that this imperial uncle would be difficult to deal with, so he thought in his heart.

"This Yu Wenxian is really a tough guy. It can be said that it is easy to shake a mountain, but it is difficult to shake Yu Wenxian."

After a few days of careful arrangements by Liu Pi and Zheng Yi, Yu Wen Yun once again ordered Yu Wen Xiaobo to go to Yu Wen Xian's house.

"The Holy One has asked you and several princes to come to the palace tonight to discuss important matters with the princes!!"

Yu Wenxian still trusted Yuwen Xiaobo and felt that his family didn't think much about it. He entered the palace in a sedan that night. The sedan stopped in front of the Yanshou Hall. When Yu Wenxian got off the sedan, he only felt that the lights were bright and shining in front of him.

My eyes can't see anything clearly.

This Yanshou Palace is the most familiar royal palace to Yu Wenxian. From the time his brother ascended the throne to his death, Yu Wenxian has been in and out of this palace countless times.

Now when he adjusted to the surrounding light and looked up again, he saw that the appearance of the palace had changed so much that he almost couldn't recognize it, so he couldn't help but say.

"Alas, the emperor's nephew has just renovated the Yanshou Hall as soon as his coffin was buried. This emperor's nephew is really heartbreaking."

After saying that, Yu Wenxian raised his head and three new characters {Tiantai Palace} came into his eyes.

Yu Wenxian held the corner of his court robe with his left hand and climbed onto the single pool under the guidance of the eunuchs. He stretched out his right leg and was about to step into the palace door when he suddenly heard a roar like a beast.

"Take him down."

Yu Wenxian was good at making weapons of the 18th class, and was especially good at forging an iron wolf's tooth. It was forged by a blacksmith on Kunwu Mountain in the ice of the East China Sea for 4 years and weighed 380 kilograms. Because of this iron wolf's teeth, he was given a nickname by the people who protect the country {

Iron Pillar Kingdom}

I saw seven or eight burly men rushing out from both sides of the gate and slinging ropes to tie Yu Wenxian tightly. When Yu Wenxian saw the ropes getting tighter and tighter, he knew that he was about to die, so he used the strength of his hands to break the ropes.

He punched a strong man in the body and saw the big man staggering back a few steps and fell to the ground, dead.

Several other big men picked up the knife and put it over Yu Wenxian's head. Yu Wenxian cut off the blade with his hands, then hooked his legs, pulled his shoulders, released his strength, threw his fists, and used all his strength to throw one of the strong men into the air.

Yu Wenxian punched him again and only heard a moment of wailing. Then he saw the guy lying on the ground, twitching as if he had been electrocuted.

Yuwen Yun said hiding in the dark.

"The emperor's uncle actually knows Yu Wenhu's unique skill of phantom grappling?"

The Phantom Grappling Hand and the Choking Hand were both independently developed by Yu Wenhu and later became the Yuwen family's unique skills. Following the rule of not passing them on to outsiders, the Phantom Grasping Hand was passed down to immediate family members, while Yu Wenhu's Choking Hand was passed down to the immediate family.

The phantom grappler is extremely powerful and difficult to master if you don't work hard to practice it. Anyone who is hit will soon bleed from the orifices and have their internal organs broken and die.

The eunuchs and eunuchs who followed the emperor's uncle were stunned with fright. Whether it was because they were too sad or because they had not had a good rest recently, Yu Wenxian was exhausted. After fighting the strong man for several rounds, he surrendered without mercy.

There was no resistance anymore, and the remaining strong men were allowed to be tied up again with ropes. Suddenly, a deep voice came.

"Young man, I must ask for your forgiveness."

Yu Wenxian was escorted into a hall by the guards. He saw that the emperor Yu Wenxian refused to kneel down despite any words, but the guards at the side kicked him in the crook of the leg and forced him to kneel in front of Yu Wenyun.

Yu Wenxian looked around. This hall was the Yanshou Hall where Emperor Wu often received him and performed rituals in the past. Now the new emperor was sitting on the dragon throne of Emperor Wu. Liu Pi was sitting on the supreme chief chair that he used to sit on.

.

Zheng Yi sat next to Liu Pi on the outermost side. Emperor Yu Wen Yun sat on the other side, but Yu Wen Xiaobo sat on the other side. At this moment, Yu Wen Xian's heart was filled with thoughts, and his face showed a hint of despair.
