Chapter 535 Empress Xiao's virtuous son-in-law
At the end of the third year of Wude.

It has been nearly half a month since the Turkic troops retreated, and Youjing City quickly escaped from the flames of war and returned to its former prosperity.

It's almost the end of the year, and youjing is facing heavy snow again.

On the most prosperous South Street in the city, the heavy snow that just fell in the morning was piled up on both sides of the square wall.

Now on South Street, tens of thousands of people from Youjing are crowded on the street, pushing and shoving each other.

As the police officer of Youjing, Situ Qiu had no choice but to show up and bring a dozen archers to maintain order.However, with the small amount of manpower in the county government, it was obviously not enough, and Ma Si, the patrolling soldier, also dispatched a battalion.

Situ Qiu couldn't help but stare at the soldiers who were patrolling the city in neat leather armor and maintaining order.

Because of his outstanding performance in the defense of Youjing against the Turks, he is about to enter the patrolling army and horse department.The patrolling soldiers and horses are responsible for night patrols, firefighting, compilation and inspection of Baojia, bans, arrests, prison breaks, and more importantly, the important defense force of Youjing, which is second only to the Tingwei Army.

An archer from the side came up, bowed his hands to Situ Qiu and said, "Boss, you will be promoted soon, brothers are all happy for you."

Situ Qiu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "What's there to be happy about, it's not like being an official in the city."

Archer smiled and said, "Boss, aren't you fooling the brothers? This time you have been promoted to Captain Ma Si, the city patrol soldier. There are [-] people below. That's not a good thing."

Speaking of this, Situ Qiu's face showed a slight hint of color, but it was only a touch.

"Situ Qiu, the prison van is coming soon, how are you doing here?"

"Cai Putou!"

All the archers saluted at the same time, Situ Qiu immediately followed the etiquette of referring to his superiors, and said: "Everything is normal here, and when the prison van passes by, there will be no accidents."

Cai Butou nodded slightly when he saw him, with a look of admiration on his face, he thought that Situ Qiu would pay attention to my former boss after he was promoted, but this kid is still so respectful, he really knows how to behave .

Cai Tutou smiled, patted Situ Qiu on the shoulder, and said in a bossy tone: "Situ Qiu, you are about to go to patrol the city and take up your post, my brother has nothing to say to you, You are smart, capable, and know how to deal with the world, I am afraid that I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."

Situ Qiu quickly said: "Catcher Cai is serious, I need you to take care of me in the future."

Cai Tutou smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, Xu Lang, the patrolling soldier and horse commander, will be my brother-in-law. When you get to the ground, you can report my name, and he will definitely take care of you."

Situ Qiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Cai Butou's kindness to his subordinates, I will never forget them."

Catcher Cai laughed when he heard the words, and walked away patting his chubby belly.

After hearing this, all the archers stepped forward and congratulated Situ Qiu: "Boss, I really want to congratulate you this time. Who do you think this Xu Lang will be?"

As Li Tang's secret work, Situ Qiu didn't know what would happen to Xu Lang, but he was still a city man, and asked with a blank look: "Who is it?"

"This person is the nephew of Duwei Xu today. Do you know that Duwei Xu is a man with all-hands and eyes in Youjing Mansion. Not to mention that Lord Wei is in love with him, even the king of Zhao is also very fond of him. .”

"That's right, the General Xu Lang who climbed up is the Captain Xu. With the support of Captain Xu, he will have the care of Lord Wei. In the future, if he can be valued by King Zhao, he will be able to rise to the top."

Situ Qiu smiled, thinking that the words were over, based on his understanding, Xu Wu was a general from Youjing, not from the direct line of Li Chongjiu, and his ability was very mediocre, so he was able to serve as the captain of Youjing Mansion , has come to an end.

As for Wei Zheng, the governor of Youjing Prefecture, he is known for being ruthless and selfless. He never forms a faction. If you want him to be promoted, don’t even think about it. King Zhao has heard that talented people are the most important. Wang thinks highly of it, or two words.

But no matter how he became the school lieutenant of the Patrolling Soldiers and Horses, for Situ Qiu who had been Li Yuan's house slave for ten years, he had a successful journey in Youjing for three years.

He, Situ Qiu, did not rely on the help of the Li family to get to where he is today, all of this is due to his own efforts.

Zhao Guo's employment of people is based on their talents, and they don't judge people by their birth and family status, so he can have such achievements. If he was in Li Tang's life, he would just work hard without seeing the sun. .

But thinking of his fate as a meticulous worker, Situ Qiu almost looked up to the sky and sighed, what was the meaning of all his hard work, but this step has gone deeper and deeper, and there is no turning back.

"Boss, today we will have a meal in the Zhaoxian Building, and the brothers will welcome you!"

Situ Qiu nodded indifferently, at this moment someone said: "The prison cart is here, the prison cart is here!"

The people of Youjing swarmed up together, Situ Qiu hurriedly shouted: "Don't make a mess!"

The arresters of the county government, the archers, and the soldiers of the patrolling soldiers raised their spears and stopped the people behind them, leaving a five-foot-wide street on the originally ten-foot-wide South Street. .

But see the sign of Dali Temple hanging high in the front!

The two prison cars were rolled out surrounded by hundreds of Zhao soldiers, but Bai Lian, who was in the prison car, wrote "Follow the order to kill the rebellious minister Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenzhi and his brothers".

On the prison cart, the Yuwen brothers were wearing heavy shackles on their hands and feet.

An old man in the crowd said: "It's a pity for a generation of heroes to end up like this. In comparison, Liu Heikai's death is dead, but it is as tragic as the overlord's suicide. Although Dou Jiande is a prisoner, he will not lose in the future." Prince. In comparison, Yu Wenhuaji is in a much worse situation."

An old Confucian scholar said: "The Yuwen family, deeply favored by the emperor, committed the act of killing the king in Jiangdu. It is really insane. I will not swallow their flesh alive."

Someone else said: "If you kill the faint king, you will kill him. Anyway, Li Yuan wants to kill him, and Li Mi wants to kill him. Whoever can't kill him will be a big treason. What a joke. I think this person is a real hero. Dare to If you dare to act, that sentence of a man can not be an emperor for a day, even if Liu Xiang and the two of them are resurrected, they will not be able to say such a thing."

"Haha, it's true that there is no father and no king, you bastard, the old man beat you to death with this crutch today."

"Old man, you are already old, why bother to be violent! I am a student of the county school."

"All the books are read by dogs, and they are still students."

"The master said, I, Da Zhao, have never been convicted of crimes with words, so what if I talk about it."

The people on the street were all arguing, sometimes persuading them, and sometimes watching jokes.

Yu Wenhua, who was in the prison car, saw the commotion in all directions, and thought to himself that this scene was completely different from what he had imagined.

It is his great ambition for a real man to be a five-dish food in his life and a five-dish cooker in his death, so at this moment, he also thought about his infamy in the history books, and also thought about how countless people threw eggs at him at the scene of his execution Stone, so that the life of a man will not be wasted in vain.

But now seeing these mediocre people making a fuss, Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help but sneer, these ignorant common people, how can they understand what I, Yu Wenhuaji, really want.

The street was noisy all around, but the sky was snowing quietly. Yu Wenhuaji looked at a little snowflake falling in front of his eyelashes, couldn't help but chuckled, and said to himself: "Life is really lonely."

Shuo Palace is in the north of the city.

Among the palace walls, the rubble was being swept away.

Empress Xiao stepped on the snow and walked on the palace road of Linshuo Palace.

When the Turks invaded, they invaded Linshuo Palace.At that time, the soldiers guarding the palace fought a battle with the Turks. Although the Turks did not occupy the royal city of Zhao, the palace walls and houses were always damaged.

But now the palace of Linshuo Palace is being rebuilt.

Empress Xiao couldn't help thinking that it was in Linshuo Palace that year, Yang Guang came to this palace to lead the army to prepare for Goguryeo.How smug Yang Guang was at that time.After the defeat of Goguryeo, it was also in this palace. After everyone in Yang Guang retreated, he cried bitterly alone.

This scene flashed before the eyes of Empress Xiao. The relationship between the couple has always been harmonious, but Li Yuan discredited Yang Guang, saying that he was greedy for his father's concubines, Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua, and forced his father to death after the incident. Non-existent things.

Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua are both dead long ago, and have nothing to do with Yang Guang.

"elder sister!"

Empress Xiao turned her head around, but saw two women in hoods approaching. They were the daughters of Empress Chen, who were later married by Yang Guang as concubines. county.

"Is Yu Wenhuaji dead?" It was her elder sister Chen Yu who asked the question, and she asked Empress Xiao with a suspenseful look.

Empress Xiao sighed, Chen Yu was the fourth daughter of Empress Chen, who was enshrined as a nobleman back then, and she was favored by Yang Guang. Yang Guang even restored more than a hundred members of the Chen family to officials after Chen's death because of her.

At that time, Chen Yu was very favored, and it was inevitable that he and Empress Xiao would compete for favor in the harem. For a while, the two were at odds with each other, fighting openly and secretly.

But all of this followed Yang Guang's death, the collapse of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the quarrel between the two disappeared. During the period when she fell to Wei County, Empress Xiao saw her holding the relics that Yang Guang gave her all day long and crying, and felt pity immediately. .

The two turned enemies into friends and supported each other during those bleak days.

Empress Xiao said: "Yes, today the beheading has been pushed to South Street."

"Rebel, finally there will be retribution, and there will be today!"

After speaking, Chen Yu and his younger sister began to cry together, and Empress Xiao couldn't help but also burst into tears.

The three women wept for a while, and Chen Yu said quietly: "Your Majesty's great revenge has been avenged, and I have neither love nor hatred in this life."

Empress Xiao pulled Chen Yu and said: "I have already told Zhao Wang, I will live with you in Linshuo Palace from now on, E Huang is going to give birth soon, you are all her elders, you should be by her side Just look at it."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu nodded and said: "It is thanks to King Zhao that Yu Huaji was able to be punished this time. They are the benefactors of our Yang family."

His younger sister said: "King Zhao is already a family. Sister, I really envy you. You have such a son-in-law. Not to mention his current status, but his affection for E Huang. How many kings of a country do you think? Such a person can be so sincere to the woman around him."

Hearing the compliments of the two, a smile suddenly appeared on Empress Xiao's face. As a woman, who doesn't like to live in the envy and jealousy of others.

It seems that my son-in-law is not bad.
