As night fell in the capital, Yu Shiji's carriage slowly stopped in front of Yu Wen Shu's mansion. The concierge had already rushed in to report, but Yu Shiji did not come out of the carriage. He believed in his identity and naturally refused to stand in front of the steps and wait.

After a moment, he saw Yuwen Shu hurried out of the mansion, then slowly walked off the carriage, bowed and smiled at Yuwen Shu, "Duke Yuwen, take the liberty to come to the door, please don't be surprised!"

"Oh! What is Yu Xiangguo saying? I'm afraid that Yu Xiangguo's elegant and wonderful people would like to think Yu Wen Shu is vulgar and refuse to come to the door."

Yuwen Shu ran out with a spring breeze on his face, grabbed Yu Shiji's sleeve and smiled, "If you don't leave me two calligraphy, I won't let you go today."

"If Duke Yuwen wants my handwriting, then I will be ugly."

Although he is not very modest, Yu Shiji is indeed a famous calligrapher. He and his brother Yu Shinan are known as the "Er Yu". Yu Shiji is extremely conceited about his own words.

In the study, Yu Shiji stood in front of the rice paper and focused for a moment. He picked up his pen and waved his "Poem of Slicing the Stones and Falling the Tongs" and put it aside, laughed and said, "I'm so ugly!"

"Good handwriting, what a cursive official!"

Yuwen Shu praised repeatedly and read: "The three autumn stems are falling, destroying a hundred feet of Ke. Half of the heart is left, and business is gradually gone."

The poetic artistic conception was quite bleak, which made Yu Wenshu feel moved and nodded, "Prespect Yu, please sit down!"

The two sat down, and a concubine served tea. Yuwen Shu took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "What do you think of the court in the prime minister? But it is time for 'business to be less'?"

Yu Shiji and Yu Wen Shu formed an alliance because of Yang Yuanqing, the common enemy, but they both had their own scheming. They were far from heart to heart. Yu Shiji smiled, "The dragon boat on the priest is about to be built, and the departure time has been set, just half a month later. This time we go, we probably have to celebrate the New Year in Jiangdu."

"It's okay to celebrate the New Year. I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of my life in Jiangdu." Yuwen Shu tentatively said again.

Yu Shiji shook his head, "This is not the case. This time, it is mainly to supervise southern officials. Recently, southern officials are quite discontent. The emperor is worried about the division of the south, and he also told me clearly that he would return to Beijing in April next year."

Yuwen Shu frowned and asked carefully: "There are rumors that the emperor wants to move the capital to Jiangdu. Does the prime minister think that the emperor really has this intention?"

Yu Shiji pondered: "The water transport is cut off. The taxes are meager. In Luoyang, you can only sit and eat the whole country. You have to consider the long-term. The Jiang is a prosperous place in Jianghuai, with a stable supply of food. The emperor sits in Jiangdu and can also command the world to suppress bandits. When the bandits are quelled, then return to Luoyang. The emperor also said that he will pass the throne to Changsun and return to Jiangdu to support his old age. Therefore, I think it is impossible to move. Besides, you and I are both confidants of the emperor. Can we believe the rumors outside?"

Yuwen Shu laughed, "Yu Xiangguo said it very well, but I have misunderstood."

Yuwen Shu didn't say anything anymore. In fact, Yang Guang's choice was just right for him to go to Jiangdu. Now that Yang Guang's schedule has been set, the major plan of his Yuwen family is gradually coming.

At this time, Yu Shiji took out a memorial and placed it in front of Yuwen Shu, "Duke Yuwen takes a look at this memorial."

Yuwen Shu was puzzled and picked up the memorial and read it. He was furious. This was actually the memorial that Pei Renji impeached his eldest son Yu Wenjie and blackmailed the place and accepted bribes in the name of suppressing bandits. Yuwen Shu slapped the table heavily, "He is so brave!"

Yu Shiji smiled and stood up and said, "If nothing happens, I will say goodbye. In addition, I remind Duke Yuwen that Pei Renji is a Guanglu doctor after all, and Wenxi Pei. If Duke Yuwen is willing to deal with him, it is better to treat Duke Yuwen."

"Thank you for the reminder of Prime Minister Yu!"

Yuwen Shu sent Yu Shiji away and returned to the study. At this time, he had no intention of appreciating Yu Shiji's calligraphy. Pei Renji's impeachment of his son made him angry, but he still forced himself to calm down. Of course, he understood Yu Shiji's intention, which was to use his own hands to deal with the Pei family. However, he knew that Yu Shiji had selfish intentions, but he had to follow Yu Shiji's prompts. At this critical moment, his son could not have any problems.

This time, Pei Renji's impeachment memorial was intercepted because of Yu Shiji. What about the next time? If he asked Pei Yun to impeach, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yuwen Shu was anxious. He couldn't sit down for a moment. He immediately stood up and ordered: "Prepare the carriage immediately, I want to enter the palace!"

.........

The palace was messy and there were cages everywhere. This was common for the people of the palace. The emperor's long-term tours made them unpack and pack them up. However, this year it was a bit strange. It was usually packed five days before the trip. However, this time, it was said that it would take half a month to go on tour, and the queen told everyone to bring everything that could be taken away, which gave everyone an ominous premonition.

Yuwen Shu walked hurriedly and happened to meet the head of the guards on duty in the Xuanzheng Hall Square, Sima Dekan, Sima Dekan and Yuwen Zhiji were sworn friends. When he saw Yuwen Shu, he hurried forward to salute, "I'm going to see Uncle Yuwen!"

"Is it my nephew on duty tonight?"

"It's my nephew!"

Yuwen Shu knew that if Yang Guang wanted to send guards to arrest people, it would have been assigned by Sima Dekan, the general on duty. He quickly pulled Sima Dekan aside and whispered to him a few words. Sima Dekan patted his chest, "Uncle, everything is on my nephew."

Yuwen Shu praised him and walked quickly towards the side hall...

In the imperial study room, Yang Guang was in a very heavy mood and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Although he demoted Xiao Yu to a local official, a memorial submitted by Xiao Yu before leaving still upset him. More than thirty counties in the world lost contact, and they were all old places in the Northern Qi Dynasty. If it were either the officials rebelled, the counties would have fallen.

Everyone has his weaknesses, and Yang Guang is no exception. He is talented and has lofty ambitions. He uses Chen Shubao's debauchery as a mirror, is diligent in government affairs, and is alienated from women. This is his advantage, but hidden behind his strengths, he has fatal weaknesses, and he cannot withstand setbacks.

The siege of Yanmen lost all the dignity of the emperor. He no longer had confidence in himself. Faced with the increasingly fierce rebellion in various places, he thought of escaping.

Now, almost the entire Shandong has been trapped in the tide of rebellion. Luoyang is surrounded by enemies and is no longer a safe place. He needs to find a safe place and calmly deploy the bandit suppression, either Guanzhong or Jiangdu. Guanzhong is the nest of Guanlong nobles. It is more dangerous than Luoyang. He will not go there, but Jiangdu.

Thinking of Jiangdu, a trace of warmth appeared in Yang Guang's heart. It was the destination of his soul. The humid climate, the rich water town, the elegant scholars, the beautiful women, and the gentle tone. Everything made him extremely intoxicated.

Yang Guang held his hands behind his back and looked silently at the night outside the window. A thought surged from his heart. Pei was unstoppable. He wanted to go to Jiangdu and forget all the troubles in the north. At this time, Yang Guang was anxious and felt that he could not wait for a moment.

At this moment, an eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Xiangguo is here, and he says there is an urgent matter to report!"

Yang Guang sighed, Yuwen Shu's arrival pulled him back into reality, "Supreme him in!"

After a moment, Yuwen Shu hurried into the imperial study room. Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't know his arrival. Although Yuwen Shu was anxious, he did not dare to interrupt Yang Guang's thoughts at this time.

After a while, Yang Guang asked slowly, "Yuwen Aiqing, you are my old minister. After years of storms, tell me, should I go to Jiangdu?"

"Your Majesty, I only know that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Yang Guang turned his head and stared at him, "You mean, Luoyang is a wall now?"

"Your Majesty, there are rampant bandits in Northern Qi outside Luoyang, the remnants of the nobles in Long have not been eliminated, the food and grass are not continued, and the taxes are cut off. Yang Xuangan rebelled and shouted in Luoyang, and the people responded. It can be seen that the people are not attached to each other. I can't think of any safety in Luoyang? Once the bandits gather in four groups, I am afraid that the emperor's orders will not be passed on for a hundred miles. I am so sincere that your Majesty will understand your words!"

Yang Guang sighed. He thought so. He temporarily put down his southern tour and asked, "What's the matter with Yuwen Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the eldest son Huaji. Pei Renji had ulterior motives and had the intention to respond to Yang Yuanqing by placing Shangluo County. The situation was extremely urgent."

Yang Guang frowned and said, "Although Pei Renji belongs to Wenxi Pei's family, Pei Yun still has no intention of being unfair. Why is he like this?"

"Your Majesty, Pei Xingyan, the son of Pei Renji, is a general under Yang Yuanqing. He is helping Yang Yuanqing for his son, not the Pei family."

Yang Guang didn't know that Pei Renji's son was beside Yang Yuanqing. He asked in surprise: "Is what Yuwen Aiqing said true?"

"Everything is true. If Your Majesty does not believe that Pei Renji is treasonable, you can send guards to arrest him and interrogate him in detail. If Your Majesty's report is not true, you can punish him!"

Since Yuwen Shu said this, Yang Guang believed it a little and immediately ordered: "Transfer my order and order the guards to go to Shangluo to arrest Pei Renji and return to Beijing immediately!"

Yuwen Shu was secretly proud. With Sima Dekan's help, Pei Renji couldn't escape his palm.

............

In the Yanei of Shangluocheng County, Yu Wenhe sat in the living room and slowly drank tea. His eyes flashed. He had been in Shangluocheng for five days. Today is the second time he came to find the prefect Zhang Ji. He fell in love with Shangluocheng very much. There are many people here and there are many wealthy businessmen, which is enough to make a fortune.

But the prefect Zhang Ji was too slow to wait, which made him anxiously. Fortunately, Zhang Ji sent a song and dance genie to accompany him to have fun every day. His impression of Zhang Ji was not bad, so he could wait any longer.

"Premier Zhang is here!"

Someone at the door reported, Zhang Ji walked in with a smile and bowed, "Let General Yuwen wait."

"As long as things are done, it's okay for me to wait!"

Yu Wenji squinted and asked, "It has been five days, how is that happening?"

Zhang Ji sat down, took out a gift list and placed it on the table, "This is the military expenditure I raised from some wealthy families, a total of 300,000 yuan. If General Yuwen could wait a few more days, there would be about 300,000 yuan."

Yu Wenhua and his eyes were bent in their smile. It was great! Shangluo County was indeed a wealthy place. In other counties, they could only extort 100,000 or 200,000, but they actually got 300,000 yuan here. After a few days, there would be 300,000 yuan, which made him feel overjoyed.

"I understand the feelings of Zhang Taishou. I will definitely report to my father. I will transfer the Taishou to the court as the minister. I don't know how many days will I have to wait?"

Zhang Ji smiled, "Then I would like to thank General Yuwen for his kindness. At most, 600,000 yuan will be offered as much as two days."
