Volume Two, Chapter 33, Carrying the Coffin into the Remonstrance
It was not until the whole banquet that Yuwen Wen woke up a little. Seeing that his wife was not around, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He just looked around the entire hall and saw that Yuchi Fanchi was not there.
Yuwen Wen hurriedly asked Yuwenti and Yuwen Shi, who had been sitting next to him: "Duke Ji, Duke Song, can you know where the cunning Jing is?"
Yuwen Shi and Yuwen Ti were full of gloating smiles on their faces: "Hey, Xiyang Gong, is your wife missing? Then you have to look for it quickly, otherwise such a beauty will be taken away by someone if you accidentally."
Yuwen Shi's wife was a little unbearable: "Mr. Xiyang, your wife was drunk just now and was helped by two palace maids to rest."
"Talk too much." Yuwen Shi was dissatisfied with his wife.
Yuwen Wen's head buzzed, and the emperor's harem was behind him. Of course, he knew who Emperor Tianyuan was, and even his stepmother would not let go. If his wife fell into the hands of the emperor, Yuwen Wen could guess what the consequences would be. He quickly found his father, Duke Qi Yuwen Liang, to explain.
Yuwen Liang also realized that his daughter-in-law was in danger, so he hurriedly pulled Yuchi Fanchi's father Yuchi Shun to meet with the emperor, asking to take Yuchi Fanchi back.
The eunuch who was told that the emperor had rested and that Yuchi Fanchi was drunk was inconvenient for him to leave. The queen kept her in the harem and asked Yuwen Liang, Yuwen Wen and his son to pick him up tomorrow.
All three knew that it was an excuse for the queen to keep people. Tomorrow, everything would be too late. But as a minister, it was impossible for him to trek into the harem. Yuchi Shun first gave up. For him, the married daughter was the water splashed out, and Yuwen Wen was the cousin of Emperor Tianyuan. It was embarrassing that the royal face was the royal family, and it had nothing to do with the Yuchi family.
Yu Wenliang patted his son's shoulder helplessly: "Wen'er, go back? Take Chi'er back soon tomorrow and pretend nothing happened."
Yuwen Wen's face turned pale and his whole body trembled: "Dad, the hatred of taking away your wife, can you let me bear it so much?"
"He is the king, we are the ministers, what if he does?"
Yuwen Wen said angrily: "A person like this is not worthy of being a lord."
Yuwen Liang was shocked and hurriedly covered his son's mouth and almost dragged him home.
The next day, Yuwen Wen arrived at the palace early in the morning and wanted to take his wife back. Yesterday, the father and son discussed secretly for one day and decided to temporarily endure the humiliation. However, when Yuwen Wen arrived at the palace, he sent a message to the chief supervisor to tell him that several queens and Yuchi Fanchi got along very well and wanted to keep her in the palace for a few more days.
Yuwen Wen drove home in an empty carriage, and was so angry that he danced wildly at home with his sword, and cursed Emperor Tianyuan for being a fool.
Emperor Tianyuan got Yuchi Fanchi and seemed to have obtained a beloved toy. He did not attend court for more than ten days. He stayed in the palace general Yuchi Fanchi for fun before he released Yuchi Fanchi home.
When Yuwen took his wife back, he still had a glimmer of hope and asked his wife what she had done in the palace over the past ten days.
Yuchi Fanchi talked miserably: "Your husband doesn't need to ask too much, I'm sorry for you today." He pulled up the long sword that Yuwen Wen was carrying and was about to commit suicide.
Yuwen Wen was shocked and quickly grabbed his wife's sword. There was a blood mark on Yuchi Fanchi's neck. If it was a little slower, Yuchi Fanchi would die.
Yuwen Wen hugged Yuchi Fanchi tightly and cried: "Chi'er, this is not your fault. If you die, how can I live alone?" The couple suddenly burst into tears.
After a long time, the two of them packed their tears. Yuwen Wen picked up the long sword on the ground and swore to the sky: "The tyrant monarch is unrighteous, and the country is not a country. If this revenge is not avenged, how can you be a human being?"
Yuwen Liang had two thousand troops in his hands, plus family soldiers, and four or five thousand soldiers were allowed to drive. That night, Yuwen Liang and Yuwen Wen and his son sent people to summon dozens of confidant generals to discuss matters.
Yuwen Liang first said: "Emperor Tianyuan gave up the government and focused on it. One day, one day will flourish. If this continues, the country and the country will sooner or later fall. I am among the royal family, and all the Dukes are also loyal ministers and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can we bear to be indifferent to the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
The generals heard about Yuchi Fanchi's affairs. The emperor treated his ministers like this and made everyone feel heartbroken. In addition, since Emperor Tianyuan ascended the top, he only knew how to be arrogant, extravagant and lustful, and never did a serious matter, and each one was very angry.
One person said: "I dare to ask Duke Qi, what method can I do to stop the emperor from continuing to be so ridiculous."
Yuwen Liang and Yuwen Wen and his son looked at each other and felt that the morale of the army was available. Yuwen Liang said: "Emperor Tianyuan was unscrupulous when he was the crown prince. Now it is hopeless. If you want to save the country of Great Zhou, you can only establish a new king."
Everyone was shocked. Establishing a new king would be like rebelling. They just looked at the shiny lights around. It was obvious that there were ambushers buried in Duke Qi's mansion. If they did not follow, they would probably land on the ground immediately. Emperor Tianyuan did not look like an emperor. After a while, everyone knelt down and said, "I hope to die for Duke Qi!"
Yuwen Liang was overjoyed and made an alliance with everyone. He agreed to take action tomorrow night, invade the palace and depose Emperor Tianyuan.
The next day, Emperor Tianyuan finally went to court. Yuwen Yun had been hiding in the palace for more than ten days. Yuchi Fanchi's affairs had almost spread throughout the court. Everyone looked at Yuwen Liang and his son with sympathy. Yuwen Liang and his son thought that everyone was laughing at them, their faces were full of burning, and their hearts were secretly ruthless, and they waited until the night to see who would laugh to the end.
Although Emperor Tianyuan was only twenty-one years old, he had been singing every night for more than a year. He had been emptied by wine and sex. He sat on the dragon throne and yawned constantly. All the ministers shook their heads and said nothing. Just as the government was about to end, there was a sudden uproar outside the hall, and many sounds of the footsteps of the imperial guards came.
All the ministers looked outside, and Emperor Tianyuan was also excited and said to a eunuch beside him: "Go and see, what happened?" He felt excited. Maybe some minister made a mistake and could hit him at that time.
As soon as the chief magistrate went out, Yu Zhi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, came up: "Heavenly Master, it's not good. Jingzhao Cheng Leyun brought a coffin to the outside of the hall."
All the ministers were shocked, and Emperor Tianyuan almost jumped up from the dragon throne: "What are he going to do? What a madman, hurry up, drive him out of the hall."
Yu Zhi said in embarrassment: "Tianzun, Le Yun wants to carry the coffin to advise. He said that as soon as we approach, we will immediately hit the coffin."
