Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 294
The first day of the ninth year of Taichang (540).

Luoyang is decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, saying goodbye to the old and replacing it with the new. The emperor Yuan Shanjian held a banquet for all the officials in the Mingguang Hall, except that the powerful minister Gao Cheng was missing.

Yuan Shanjian was almost desperate for King Gao's cautiousness, and he didn't think of doing it now, but the Gao family and his son were in different places, and Gao Huan was sitting in Jinyang with an army of 20, so Gao Cheng was still so wary.

Gao Huan's physical condition cannot be hidden from others, and when the time came to punish the national traitors, how could he expect Gao Cheng to give him a chance.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shanjian once again blamed Yuan Ziyou in his heart for following the path of future generations, leaving future generations with nowhere to go.

Back in the bedroom, Yuan Shanjian shared his concerns with his confidant, eunuch Liu Siyi.

Liu Siyi thought for a while when he heard the words, and then said:

"Since Gao Cheng doesn't want to set foot in the palace, why doesn't His Majesty come out of the palace to punish the thieves?"

Yuan Shan was disappointed by what he heard and said, and he said it lightly when he went out of the palace to punish the thieves.

Ten years have passed since Er Zhuzhao bloodbathed the palace city, and many little Huangmen have never experienced that horror, so Yuan Shanjian has attracted many people.

But it is impossible to break out of Miyagi under the circumstances that Gao Cheng's confidant Wang Shiliang presides over the imperial army and is in charge of the palace ban.

Liu Siyi saw Yuan Shanjian's sullen expression, knowing that he had misunderstood himself, and immediately explained:
"What the servant girl is referring to is that a tunnel was dug from the palace, leading directly to the Bohai Palace. After Gao Huan's death, His Majesty used a strange army to go out of the tunnel and kill Gao Cheng and his brothers. The Wei family will be happy."

Yuan Shan was refreshed when he heard the words. The reason why Yuan Ziyou failed was that after Er Zhu Rong died, the Er Zhu family was able to push out Er Zhu Zhao as the leader.

The Gao family is different. All the sons of the Gao family are in Luoyang. Once Gao Huan dies in Jinyang and Gao Cheng and others are punished in Luoyang, only two young children, Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, are not enough to take on the big task, and outsiders will not be able to convince the crowd.

Although there are members of the Gao family all over the place, their identities and prestige are not enough to take charge. Facing a state of disunity, a pardoning edict may really make things happen.

It's just that neither Yuan Shanjian nor Liu Siyi thought of a problem. Given the distance between Miyagi and Bohai Prince's Mansion, this is destined to be not a small project, and the excavated soil may be able to build a small mound, so how can it be concealed.

Gao Cheng knew nothing about the conspiracy between the two of them, the puppet emperor is also the emperor, even though the palace city is full of Gao's eyes and ears, there is still some private space, such as the bedroom.

Even if you know it, you won't take it to heart, it's just a mantis' arm.

In the past six months, he=Gao Cheng often received secret letters from Aunt Yuwen, in which he always recorded some unimportant news, and a large part of it was about missing him, and the whole text was full of affection.

It can be said that Aunt Yuwen did not work hard. She often used the opportunity of visiting her two sons, Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong, to send news to the Eastern Wei spies lurking in the Qiu mansion. There is also no access to important information.

This is the first time Gao Cheng hated this evil old society so much, why can't women stand up!

"stand up?"

At night, Yuan Yuyi asked in doubt.

"Yes! Stand up!"

Gao Cheng, who had withdrawn, was firm.

Yuan Yuyi's smooth feet stepped on the ground
Western Wei Dynasty, Chang'an.

In the night, the Anding Mansion was full of singing and dancing, and the lights were brightly lit.

Duke of Anding County, Yu Wentai, a power minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, held a family banquet, and all relatives were in the mansion.

Yu Wentai won the title of king, and after supporting Yuan Baoju to the throne, he was granted the title of King Anding.

However, because he promoted the Zhou rituals in Guanzhong, he asked himself to be demoted to the Duke of Anding County. After all, there is no title of king in the Zhou rituals.

This is also the biggest difference between the reforms of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Gao Cheng didn't have much interest in the so-called Zhou rituals. When his father Gao Huan supported Yuan Shanjian's enthronement, he even used the old Xianbei rituals.

Yu Wentai sat in the main seat, and his wife Yao accompanied him.

Because Yuanxiu entered the customs alone, there was no female family member who could marry Yuwentai, so Yao was made his first wife after giving birth to his eldest son Yuwenyu.

Yu Wentai looked around the audience, looking at all the juniors, the smile on his face was even bigger.

Nephews such as Yuwence and Yuwenshen will not be mentioned.

Shan is a close relative, the eldest sister's son He Lanxiang is smart and brave, and the second sister's sons Yu Chijiong and Yuchi Gang are also brave generals in the army.

Especially Yu Chijiong, who was smart and quick-witted since he was a child, and his talent was superior to Yuwenhu's.

The reason why he is not as favored as Yuwenhu is because his surname is Yuchi, not Yuwen.

But it was only compared with Yuwenhu that he was at a disadvantage. Yuchijiong lost his father at the age of 7 and was raised by his mother since he was a child, so he had a blind date with his uncle's family.

When he was an adult, Yu Wentai appointed him as the governor of the tent and granted him the title of Marquis of Xidu.

Following Yu Wentai's defeat of Gao Huan, the 24-year-old Yu Chijiong is now the leader of the army and is deeply trusted.

During the family banquet, everyone talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but Qiu Yuan was the only one who looked at Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong having fun by his mother's side, his brows were full of sadness.

Aunt Yuwen entered the customs for more than half a year, and he asked his wife and brother several times to intercede on his behalf, but Aunt Yuwen still refused to get back together.

Yu Wentai also has nothing to do with this little girl, as long as she is asked to reconcile with Qiu Yuan, Aunt Yuwen always wipes her tears and tells the grievances she suffered in Jinyang, and the three widows also turned to her, so Yu Wentai no longer Ask about it.

Like Gao Cheng, he was busy working on state affairs all day long, leaving his housework to his nephew Yu Wenhu, so he didn't have the energy to be a lobbyist for Qiu Yuan.

Qiu Yuan was drinking alone, he really didn't know what his wife's plan was.

In the past, when I went back to the mansion to visit my son, I went to look for her by myself, but I avoided seeing her again.

Aunt Yuwen also had her own difficulties, and with Gao Cheng in her heart, she couldn't tolerate Qiu Yuan anymore.

Maintaining this marriage that exists in name only is nothing more than hearing that Gao Cheng is a good wife.

A few days ago, someone in the palace asked for their wishes on their behalf. It turned out that Yuan Baoju saw that Qiu Yuan and his wife were at odds, and tried to force them to reconcile and separate, and brought Aunt Yuwen into the palace himself.

It's not that she covets Aunt Yuwen's beauty. To be honest, she is far inferior to Yuan Yuyi's peerless beauty, but she can't stand that she is Yuwentai's own sister.

Seeing that Yuan Shan, the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, still had great ambitions, he tried to cheer himself up.

Yuan Baoju, the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, witnessed Yuan Xiu being forcibly poured poisoned wine by Yu Wentai's henchmen, and was frightened out of his wits.

Feeling insecure, he naturally set his mind on Aunt Yuwen, hoping to use this to add a talisman to himself.

Aunt Yuwen only treats Qiu Yuan as a stranger, but treats Yuan Baoju with disdain because of what happened to his wife, Empress Yifu.

Empress Yifu has a gentle and gentle personality. She has been married to Yuan Baoju for 15 years and has a very deep love.

But in order to win over Rouran and marry her, Yu Wentai persuaded him, so he abolished the queen as a nun and appointed Anahu's daughter as the queen.

And because of the jealousy of Anahu's daughter, Yi Freund was finally given to death.

Although Yuan Baoju had no other choice, Aunt Yuwen still looked down on this puppet who couldn't protect her beloved.

When Yuwentai asked about this, Aunt Yuwen said bluntly:
"Brother is a powerful minister, and he will surely win the country. If my sister marries into the palace, how will she deal with herself in the future? The empress is jealous. If the emperor kills me, what will my brother do?"

Only then did Yu Wentai stop thinking about marrying Yuan Baoju.
