The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 253 Jiangdu Fengyun ([-])

In Jiangdu City, the court suddenly fell into an undercurrent.

After the emperor Yang Guang quietly went south, the ministers were already thinking about how to plan in the future.

You must know that the Sui court has long been a situation where anti-kings stand side by side and bandits are everywhere.

Who knows, if Yang Guang has gone south now, will he still have a chance to come back?

In the event of an accident, Yang Guang was ambushed and died on the way.

Then the world will be in complete chaos!

On the other hand, the descendants of Yang Guang, because the prince of Yuande, Yang Zhao, died early, and the second son, Yang Hao, was a relative of a villain and a virtuous minister, so he looked ignorant and incompetent.

Although the third son Zhao Wang Yang Gao is intelligent, he is too young to be a political figure in a country.

Who among the ministers is not a shrewd person, how can they not see the disadvantages of Yang Guang's going south this time?

Therefore, apart from loyal ministers such as Yang Yichen and Yu Shiji, in the court of Jiangdu.

The rest of the ministers are all starting to think about finding a way out for themselves.

In the city, Yuwen Mansion

In the main hall, several people were whispering and plotting.

After careful observation, these people are actually important ministers of the Sui court today.

The leader is Yu Wenhuaji, the owner of the mansion, and the subordinates are General Wu Benlang, Doctor Guanglu Sima Dekan, and Zhige Pei Qiantong.

"I don't know why Master Yuwen invited the two of us here?"

Immediately after sitting down, Wu Benlang handed over Sima Dekan and said.

Hearing this, Pei Qiantong also looked puzzled, not knowing what Yu Wenhua meant.

It's no wonder why Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong asked each other so.

This is also because Yu Wenhua and his father Yu Wenshu participated in the planning to support Yang Guang as the crown prince.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, in order to thank Yu Wenshu for his support, he betrothed his eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, to Yu Wenshu's second son, Yuwen Shiji.

So far, Yuwen's family has become a dignitary in the court, and their status is extremely prominent for a while!
Because he lived a comfortable and luxurious life as the son of a bureaucratic family since he was a child, he developed a stubborn habit all over his body.

Moreover, Yu Wenhuaji is cruel and insidious. Relying on his prominent power, he often acts recklessly and does not follow the law.

Relying on his favor to the emperor Yang Guang, Yu Wenhuaji often bullied men and women, robbed men and women by force, and robbed women and men wantonly.

Therefore, all the officials in the court and the central government scoffed at Yu Wenhuaji!
Even Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong who were present at this time were no exception.

Therefore, after receiving Yu Wenhuaji's invitation, the two were so confused.

That's why Sima Dekan asked in person.

In fact, Yu Wenshu, his father, is very clear about Yu Wenhua's character.

Originally, Yu Wenshu did not intend to hand over the family business to Yu Wenhua, but was optimistic about Yu Wenhua and his son Yu Wencheng.

In the end, it was only because Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenshu disagreed that they gave up.

…………

Hearing this, Yu Wenhua smiled and said loudly: "My lords are invited to come, of course it is to reminisce about the old days!"

"Come on, both of you, please have some tea!"

Immediately, Yu Wenhuaji was the first to raise the teacup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp!

Now, even if the two are not happy, the necessary face must be given.

Therefore, the two also picked up the tea in the cup and drank it up!
Afterwards, seeing Yu Wenhuaji still smiling, the two asked each other again.

Immediately after some questioning, Yu Wenhua finally calmed down and said, "My lords, your family should still be in Guanlong, right?"

Hearing Yu Wenhuaji's words, the doubts on their faces became even more serious.

In the end, the two still nodded in agreement.

At this time, Yu Wenhuaji leaked a trace of cold war that was not easy to detect, and immediately said: "Not only the relatives and family members of the two adults are in the Guanlong area."

"The families of many Xiaoguo soldiers are also in the Guanlong area."

"But now, His Majesty has shrunk to Jiangdu and refuses to lead his army back."

"But now, regardless of all the affairs of the court, he arbitrarily went south to inspect the south of the Yangtze River."

"Don't the two adults miss their wives and children at home?"

Suddenly, I saw that Yu Huahua and the instant kung fu spoke to the hearts of Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong.

But soon, Pei Qiantong took the lead to withdraw his thoughts, as if thinking of something, he said quickly: "Master Yuwen, you don't mean to rebel, do you?"

Hearing this, Sima Dekan couldn't help reacting for a while, and hurriedly asked.

"Ha ha!"

"Why do you two speak so badly?"

"My Yuwen family has been in charge of Xiaoguo Army for more than ten years."

"Everything I do is for the sake of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. Now His Majesty doesn't want to go north and return to the imperial capital to preside over the overall situation."

"Instead of staying in the south of the Yangtze River, don't we think about the soldiers of the Northern Army and the soldiers of Xiaoguo?"

Although Yu Wenhua and pointed all the sources to the Xiaoguo Army.

However, as Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong who have been in the court for a long time, how can they not see that this is Yu Wenhuaji who wants to rebel?

However, based on Yu Wenhuaji's reputation, how could the two agree?
"Lord Yuwen, the two of us are just pawns of the imperial court!"

"Master Yuwen has such a heavy responsibility, we really can't afford it."

"According to Kan, Mr. Yuwen should go to other ministers!"

After finishing speaking, Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong stood up and wanted to leave.

But, all of a sudden, Yu Wenhuaji stood up immediately, and his face darkened instantly.

"Humph!"

"Tell you two, starting from when you enter my Yuwen family's mansion today."

"You have no choice but to help my Yuwen family seize power and destroy the Yang family."

"Think about it clearly, now the command of the tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops in Jiangdu is in the hands of my Yuwen family."

"Just to reduce the number of casualties in this rebellion, this general will choose to win over the two of you."

"So, you should think about it carefully. If the two of you choose to refuse, there will always be other ministers."

"But if you refuse, when my Yuwen family wipes out the royal Yang family and returns to Guanlong's imperial capital, your family members will... hum!"

I saw that Yu Wenhuaji walked down the stone steps slowly, snorted coldly, and said to the two of them in an extremely indifferent tone.

Hearing this, the involuntary footsteps of Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong suddenly stopped.

"Ha ha!"

"You guys have to think about it, do you want to be loyal to the Yang family, or come to help my Yuwen family?"

"Don't make a mistake with this choice. Once you choose, it will be a land of eternal doom!"

Immediately, Yu Wenhuaji became even more arrogant, blatantly threatening.

…………

At this time, hearing Yu Huaji's threatening words, Pei Qiantong and Sima Dekan could not help but start to meditate.

After a long time of consideration, the two still chose to compromise and assist the Yuwen family to seize power.

After all, the days of Sui Ting are already declining, and the military power has long lived up to the past!

Now, due to the emperor Yang Guang's going south, the palace in Jiangdu is only the royal family.

As for Xiaoguo's military power, it is firmly in the hands of Yuwen's family.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, this time the Yuwen family and the Yang family clashed.

The outcome is clear at a glance!
Therefore, how could Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong risk their family being punished and die loyal to the Sui court?
