Chang'an.

Yu Wenxian rode a war horse and led a large number of knights to appear on the official road to the north.

Yu Wenxian looked particularly tired. He had lost a lot of weight, his face was dull, and his eyes were so bloodshot that he couldn't even open them.

After getting Yu Wenyong's order, he had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​recapturing Xiazhou, and only recovered a dilapidated Yanzhou.

After arranging the front line deployment, he hurried back to Chang'an. The emperor ordered to summon the important ministers in the country to discuss important matters together.

In the previous wars, Yu Wenxian was one of the few generals who could confront Gao Changgong, Hu Luxian, and Hu Luguang head-on, put some pressure on them, and win each other's battles. His status was thus improved.

In the past, he was only valued because of his status as the emperor's younger brother. Now, many people recognize his military talents and treat him as a true commander-in-chief.

Yu Wenxian didn't know what he was looking at, but there was deep worry in his eyes.

When they arrived at the city gate, someone from a distance came to greet them.

Several of Yu Wenyong's close confidants and important ministers were among them, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to Yu Wenxian, and the person who took the lead was none other than the emperor's eldest son, Duke Yuwen of the State of Lu.

Yuwen was wearing ordinary clothes and stood at the front of the crowd, looking around with indescribable grievance and pity in his eyes.

Yu Wenxian quickly dismounted, and he led many other ministers and walked quickly in the direction of Duke Lu.

Although Yu Wen has not been officially registered as the crown prince until now, as the eldest son, he has no flaws or shortcomings, so it is only a matter of time before he becomes the crown prince.

This can be seen from the fact that Yu Wenzan asked him to come to greet his uncle.

Yu Wenxian looked at the little guy in front of him.

Yuwen was one year younger than the Northern Qi Emperor and had just turned ten.

He looked timid, his eyes were full of fear, there were obvious scars on his forehead, and half of his face was red and swollen. Looking at him, the smile on Yu Wenxian's face solidified.

"Ah...how did you do this?"

Yu Wenzan looked at his uncle, but did not dare to speak and just shook his head.

Yu Wenxian originally had many things to say to him, but he couldn't say them at the moment. He sighed and touched Yuwen's head.

Then, he looked directly at another minister not far away.

Deng Guogong Dou Chi.

Dou Chi was injured in the previous battlefield and had no choice but to retreat and returned to the temple first.

Yu Wenyong trusted him quite a lot and asked his opinion on many things.

After the two met, they walked into the city together.

Yu Wenyong didn't say anything and silently followed the two princes.

Inspector Yu Wen glanced at him, and then looked at Dou Chi, "Brother, why are you so harsh? You're just a man. Dou Chi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "This emperor's family affairs...

Yu Wenxian did not ask any more questions, and the two of them rode horses side by side. Dou Chi felt a lot of confusion in his heart, "I heard that Yanzhou was severely damaged. Is this true?"

Yu Wenxian did not hide the other party, saying truthfully: "Gao Changgong almost moved Yanzhou to the empty, and the one who could be taken away did not fall. Only some people were spared.

, The south of the south failed to preserve. "

"We exhausted, but we got a vacant land ... ::

"Fortunately, those cities under my control still have not been destroyed, at least it will not really become an open space."

Yu Wenxian's expression was low, and he said: "Gao Changgong is really cunning ..: From the beginning, he never thought about keeping Yanzhou. He Ruoyi was right, and he had been transporting materials and manpower behind him."

Looking at such a sad Yu Wenxian, Dou Chi didn't dare to ask other things again.

He just persuaded: "Qi Guogong, this is just a temporary defeat. Although this time is frustrated, there are many young handsome Jies come out.

The knife, but there are these post -living people, Da Zhou is not unsatisfactory. "

‘Especially Qi Guogong. When he followed Yu Wen’ s protection, Guogong just knew some military, but now he can fight with Gao Changgong.

There may not be a chance to defeat Liu Taozi! "

Dou Chi was very optimistic and persuaded a few words,

Yu Wenxian just returned to his slightly bitter smile.

The three Guogong returned to the palace, and it was unobstructed all the way.

Yu Wenzheng saw Dou Chi and Yu Wenxian standing together, but Yu Wen fell at the end. He opened a long distance from them.

"Axian."

Yu Wenzheng smiled and pulled his brother's hand, and invited the two to sit down enthusiastically.

Dou Chi knew big things very much, dared not stay, and resigned. Yu Wenzan wanted to walk and did not dare to walk aside. He was at a loss, Yu Wen looked at him, even more angry, "What do you do here?!"

Yu Wenzan didn't quite understand, and asked carefully: "Then me ... sit down?"

"What to sit down? Go out! Go out now!"

Yu Wen looked at his father's look, and was even more confused. I don't know if she should go or stay.

Yu Wenxian opened his mouth in time, "Azan, you go back to rest first."

Yu Wenzan left his head and left.

Yu Wenyi looked at the son disappointed, and looked at the younger brother on the side.

Yu Wenxian said softly: ("Brother, Azan is still young, how can he be so severe to him?"

"Besides, I think there are still injuries on his body ... \ n Brother, my brother is too much."

"This is the country's future Chu Jun. I also ask my elder brother not to be so harsh ...

Yu Wenyong frowned and said softly: "It is because he is the eldest son that I am strict with him."

"It's not because I don't love him. You also understand the current situation. He can't read well, use a sword well, and can't even treat others. How can he inherit the career left by his father? How can he deal with those people?

Where are the ferocious enemies?"

"I'll let you say whatever you want about other matters. But on this matter, please don't try to persuade me!"

Yu Wenyong has a stubborn character and will never change anything he believes in.

Yu Wenxian could only give up.

The two stopped talking about Yu Wenzan, and Yu Wenyong suddenly felt much better. He did not blame Yu Wenxian for the previous defeat. Instead, he praised his brother's bravery and was particularly pleased with his extraordinary military talent.

.

After praising him like this for a long time, Yuwen Yong finally got down to business with him.

Yu Wenyong asked everyone to leave for the time being. When only the two brothers were left in the room, he slowly spoke of his thoughts.

When Yu Wenxian heard this, he was shocked.

"Brother wants to attack Chen??"

Yu Wenxian looked at his brother in disbelief and said hurriedly: "Brother, how can we send troops now? We just suffered a defeat in the north, and the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an is even more in chaos...

"If you lose it, go to the north; if you take it, go to the south."

Yu Wenyong said calmly: "I will not fight Liu Taozi easily again."

"This war is enough to prove that Liu Taozi's national power is already superior to ours."

"We have to find ways to improve our national strength now, and we have to think about the future."

"I am planning to crown the clan king.

"Kingdom??"

Yu Wenxian still couldn't understand it.

Yu Wenyong explained: "Previously, I issued edicts to attack the wealthy clans and the Buddhist family, but I did not achieve much breakthrough. All policies were limited to Chang'an and could not go to other places."

"I later figured out that this was because the people in the place had become the climate."

"Officials in various places may be loyal to me, but they are more loyal to their clan and friends than to me."

"These officials are either from rich families or military leaders. Their interests are intertwined with each other. They don't care about the prosperity of the country at all. All they can see is their own interests."

"And the people of my great Zhou Dynasty actually went to help Liu Taozi's army to deal with our own people."

"How sad is this?"

"How much harm have these insects in this place brought to my people??"

Yu Wenyong's face was gloomy, "I need you to help me."

"In the past, Yu Wenhu made more use of his sons and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. I always hated him, but now, I understand some of his thoughts."

"The only ones who can control these noble families are the clan."

"I'm going to make the king a king, let the clan gradually take control of the military and local areas, and use them to implement the reforms I want."

"Axian."

Yu Wenyong looked at his younger brother, "What do you think?"

"Don't hide anything, and don't be afraid that it will affect our feelings. Just say whatever you want, and you must tell the truth."
