Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 276
Gao Cheng set off from Luoyang to pay homage to Gao Huan in Jinyang, naturally he planned to reunite his family.

Before that, there was someone in Kansai whose mother and child were separated because of their Gao family. That person was none other than Yuwentai's nephew Yuwenhu.

Yuwenhu is the third son of Yuwentai's elder brother Yuwenhao. Among all the brothers since childhood, he is the most loved by his grandfather Yuwenji, and he has the highest expectations for him.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the Six Towns Uprising, he would be the one to inherit the Wuchuan family business.

After his father and grandfather died in battle one after another, he followed his third uncle Yuwen Luosheng and fourth uncle Yuwentai in Ge Rong's army.

Ge Rong was defeated, the Yuwen family was moved to Jinyang, the third uncle Yuwen Luosheng was suspected and killed, and the fourth uncle Yuwentai got He Bayue as a guarantee, so he survived by luck.

Yu Wenhu lived in Jinyang for a long time until Gao Huan rebelled in the first year of Putai (531).

Yu Wenhu, who was 19 years old at the time, was released by Erzhu Zhao to show his sincerity in forming an alliance with Erzhu Tianguang.

Together with Yu Wentai, Yu Wenhu's second brother Yu Wendao and cousin He Lanxiang were also picked up.

However, the eldest brother Yuwen Shifei and a group of cousins ​​remained in Jinyang as hostages, including mother Yan Ji, sister-in-law, second aunt, and third aunt.

Yuwenhu made many inquiries, but there was no news. It was not until recently that he heard that five years ago, Gao Huan learned that Yuwentai had set up a new center in Kansai, and angrily killed all the men of Yuwen's family in Jinyang.

Among them are the elder brother Yuwen Shifei, the second uncle Yuwenlian's son Yuwen Yuanbao, the third uncle Yuwen Luosheng's son Yuwen Bodhi and others.

This made Yu Wenhu feel like a knife twisted his heart. Needless to say, his elder brother Yuwen Shifei, Yu Wenhu and his two cousins ​​Yuwen Yuanbao and Yuwen Bodhi had an inseparable relationship since childhood.

The three of them once plotted with their cousin He Lanxiang to kill the teacher because of the teacher's strict discipline, but they leaked the news and were severely beaten by their respective mothers.

Only He Lanxiang was exempted from punishment because of the loss of his mother.

Now that they know that their siblings have been killed, their mother Yan Ji, sister-in-law and two aunts have nothing to rely on in Jinyang, and they don't know whether they will live or die.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Huo was heartbroken. He took out the silk robe he wore when he left Jinyang eight years ago, and stroked the veins in it. Every stitch and thread was stitched by his mother Yan Ji.

Tears fell in an instant.

I am prosperous and wealthy in Kansai, but my mother, sister-in-law, and two aunts are in Jinyang, serving as slaves, Yu Wenhu dare not think about it anymore.

The 27-year-old General Zhendong of the Western Wei Dynasty and the governor Yu Wenhu held this silk robe with tears in his eyes to find his fourth uncle Yu Wentai.

As soon as they met, Yu Wenhu burst into tears and choked up to tell his uncle about the situation of Jinyang's family.

When Yu Wentai learned that all his nephews had been killed, he was also heartbroken, beat his chest and regretted it, and bluntly said that he would have no face to see his three brothers again after his death.

"Uncle, I beg you to send an envoy to Jinyang and ask for the family members."

Yu Wenhu kowtowed and knelt down to pray.

Yu Wentai helped his nephew up and said:
"Even if Ah Hu doesn't mention it, I will bring them back."

After all, the uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried.

Since the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Weis, which had never had any envoys, made an exception.

Yuwenhu asked to go to Jinyang to find his mother in person, but Yuwentai refused. He himself was sent to Jinyang as an envoy, and he was almost forced to stay by Gao Huan.

If he really had to choose, he would rather ignore the three sisters-in-law and younger sister than put Yu Wenhu, his nephew, in danger.

The reason for this kind of mentality is nothing more than the fact that the only son Yu Wenyu is too young, and he is only five years old now.

Yu Wentai is now twenty-two in his thirties, which is not considered young anymore.

His son, Yu Wenyong, was dubbed a "cute and good husband" by ministers in his 30s.

Gao Huan next door is in his early 40s and is already making arrangements for his death.

Yu Wentai fights all the year round, if anything happens, the Yu Wen clan still needs this nephew to support him.

Historically, Yu Wentai made exactly such a choice. Even though his eldest son Yu Wenyu was 23 years old and his first son Yu Wenjue was 15 years old when he died, Yu Wentai still transferred power to his nephew Yu Wenhu, who was in charge of military affairs.

After Yu Wentai's death, Yu Wenhu forced Tuoba Kuochan, Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, to give way to Yu Wenjue and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

From the reign of Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty in the third year (557) to the death of Yuwenhu in the first year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (572), he has been in power for 15 years, and he has indeed lived up to Yuwentai's trust.

It's just that in the early days of his administration, within three years, Yu Wenhu killed three emperors, Yu Wenjue, Tuoba Kuo, and Yu Wenyu.

Then they killed Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui.

Unfortunately, Yu Wenyong, whom he established, has become a model for the very few who have successfully killed powerful officials.

And Yu Wenhu himself not only won the title of a dragon slaying master for killing the three emperors in three years, but also became a negative example of not wearing a helmet in the upper hall because Yu Wenyong opened his head.

Of course, Yu Wenhu is not the master dragon slayer in this time and space. It took him three years to kill the Three Emperors.

Gao Cheng's father-in-law, Yuan Quan, smothered Yuan Gong, Yuan Ye, and Yuen Long to death with quilts one after another.

Of course, he himself was eventually smothered by Hu Luguang with cotton, which was a bad retribution.

Since the envoy left Chang'an, Yu Wenhu has been concerned about his mother's safety with all his heart.

Yuwentai didn't send his confidants, but just randomly found a scribe to act as the main ambassador. This made Yuwenhu slightly dissatisfied, but he also knew Yuwentai's difficulties.

Jinyang is in a wolf's den, and it is difficult to get in and out, just as he does not want to let himself go, and he is also worried that the rest of his confidants will be kept by Gao Huan.

What kind of political credibility can you expect He Liuhun to have.

When the envoys from the Western Wei Dynasty arrived at the border, it really caused a commotion. The two families have been fighting for so many years. Although they secretly sent spies to each other, it was the first time that they communicated publicly.

It's just that compared with the excitement among the people, the attitude of the upper echelons of the Gao family, or the father and son of the Gao family, is much colder.

The father and son had already made up their minds to go west next year, so how could they care about the goodwill shown by the Western Wei Dynasty.

But the soldiers never tire of cheating, so Gao Huan still sent people to welcome the envoys to Luoyang. If they could be misled into thinking that the two Weis might have good relations and they could relax their vigilance, then why not do it, anyway, it was just receiving a few people.

"Xiaozhang, Xiaoyu, do you know why grandfather welcomed the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty?"

Gao Huan seems to want to test the school's two grandchildren.

Gao Huan sighed as he watched the two brothers bewildered.

Gao Cheng, who was washing his father's feet, said with a smile:
"Father, they are only two years old. If they respond appropriately and follow the rules, they are not evildoers."

It was only then that Gao Huan came to his senses. The white-haired man leaned forward and backward with a smile, and stretched out his hands to hold the two little grandchildren in his arms, his face full of kindness.

Gao Cheng wiped Gao Huan's feet clean, asked someone to fetch a basin of clean water, sat beside Gao Huan, and said to Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu:
"You guys have just seen what it's like to be a father, now it's your turn."

Unexpectedly, the two brothers took off their shoes, stepped into the basin, and waited for King Gao to wash their feet.

Seeing this, Gao Huan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he slapped Gao Cheng on the back of the head who was about to get angry, and urged:
"Since you are a filial son, you should be a loving father again."
