Volume Two, Chapter Thirty-Seven, Turmoil
Thousands of people rushed towards the palace shouting, dozens of meters away from the palace. Suddenly, the surroundings were bright and countless torches were lit up, and there were figures around. Yuwen Liang's subordinates were at a loss and were in a dilemma.
An old man came out under the fire and shouted: "Duke Qi, put down your weapons and order your people to surrender. I can plead with the Heavenly Lord and spare your father and son."
Yuwen Liang saw clearly that the person who came was the current Shangzhu Kingdom. Duke of Yun Wei Xiaokuan was dark, and realized that the matter had been leaked. It was probably difficult to succeed today. But now, the arrow was on the string. It was not that he was not fired. Yuwen Liang raised his long sword: "Punish the foolish monarch, save the country, and rush."
Wei Xiaokuan shook his head pity: "I overestimate my ability." He waved his arm.
Countless shield players and gunmen rushed up from behind, blocking the surroundings. Then, a "swish, swish." sound came from the sky, and countless bows and arrows fell into the unobstructed crowd in the middle, screaming everywhere.
Yuwen Liang, Yuwen Wen and his son rushed in front, and the first wave of arrows shot the two of them down. Yuwen Wen looked at his body full of arrows and said reluctantly: "Kill the foolish monarch and save the country." He fell to the ground with a bang.
In just a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of long arrows fell in the middle square, and no one of Yuwen Liang's subordinates stood up. Ru Kuan praised beside him: "Duke Yun eliminated thousands of rebels without spending a soldier, and no famous general in ancient times could match."
Although Ru Kuan's secret report easily eliminated Yuwen Liang's rebellion, Wei Xiaokuan had no good feelings for such a person who informed him and said coldly: "Get out."
Ru Kuan had to retreat to the back embarrassedly, and only heard Wei Xiaokuan say: "Find out the bodies of Duke Qi and Duke Xiyang, and bury them well. I want to report to the emperor."
Emperor Tianyuan received news that Duke Qi wanted to rebel before going to court in the daytime. Not only did he not angry, he became happy. Although he only released Yuchi Fanchi for one day, he was obsessed with Yuchi Fanchi's beauty. Duke Qi and his son rebelled and killed them. Yuchi Fanchi became a widow and happened to be recruited into the palace.
After receiving the report that Wei Xiaokuan had completely wiped out Yuwen Liang and his son, Emperor Tianyuan was so happy that he could not sleep that night. The next day, the emperor immediately searched the entire family of Duke Qi. Except for Yuchi Fanchi, all the people in Duke Qi's mansion were demoted to slaves.
When Yuchi Fanchi got his father-in-law and her husband died of misfortune, she wanted to cry without tears. But when she wanted to die, she was picked up by the Duke of Shu. When she returned to Taoist home, Yuchi Fanchi cried loudly in front of her mother. Everyone was optimistic about a marriage, but she didn't expect that she would end up like this. At this time, she could not seek death, otherwise even the Duke of Shu would be implicated.
When the ministers learned that Yuwen Liang and his son were executed for rebellion, although they had many sympathy, they could not say it. However, the news that followed made the crowd turbulent. Within a few days, Emperor Tianyuan took Yuchi Fanchi to the palace, first made him the imperial concubine, and then wanted to make Yuchi Fanchi the fifth queen.
As soon as the emperor was about to establish a queen, the whole court suddenly became an uproar. Xiao Yu Bo Xinyan's way of saying, "It is said that from ancient times to the present, there is only one king and emperor, and there is only one empress, and this dynasty has established four empresses. It is inappropriate for the traditional laws of the previous dynasty. I believe that we must not establish a new empress."
After Xin Yanyi finished speaking, Yuan Yan, Wang Gui, Yuwen Shenju, Yuwen Xiaobo and other important officials all opposed it. Even Yuchi Fanchi's uncle Yuchi Yun was also opposed, and only Yang Jian, Zheng Yi and others did not speak.
Emperor Tianyuan was extremely angry. In his opinion, it was entirely his personal matter to establish a few queens. The ministers insisted on opposing him. He wanted to kill all the ministers who opposed him. However, seeing the surging feelings, he was a little scared, so he had to glance at Dr. He Tuo and signal him to explain.
He Tuo was prepared and said: "I think what the ministers said is not without reason, but it is not entirely true. Emperor Ku had four concubines in the pre-Qin period, and Yu Shun had two concubines. It can be seen that there is no limit on whether one or several queens were established in the pre-Qin period. I think that whether one or several queens was established has nothing to do with the prosperity of the country or the country, only the will of the Heavenly Lord."
Everyone secretly hated He Tuo for flattery, but He Tuo was a doctor in charge of classics and etiquette. As soon as he supported the emperor, all the ministers expected that Emperor Tianyuan turned anger and laughed: "He Qing is worthy of being a doctor, with a profound knowledge, very good, and the matter of establishing a queen has been decided. We have to do the relevant texts according to your words and leave the court."
The ministers could not react in time and watched the emperor retreat into the harem. Who would have the courage to chase after him and oppose the emperor?
A hundred miles away from Chang'an City, the Qin Emperor Mausoleum was full of beautiful mountains and rivers and quietness. Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility. Four horses rushed to a mountain bun. After a gray horse screamed, four men in minks immediately fell. The oldest was in their forties, and the youngest was thirty-five or six years old, all with beards. They looked at the small hill bun in front of them affectionately, as if they were looking at old friends. Without a word, except for the heat exhaled from their mouths, only their beards fluttered in the wind.
The four of them surrounded the hill bag, watching casually but attentively. Suddenly the four of them dropped their horses and lay on the hill bag and cried loudly: "Emperor, Master, we are here to see you."
It turned out that under the hill was buried the former Emperor of Great Zhou, Emperor Wu, Yuwen Yong, and several tomb guards heard the sound of horses and cried. They were about to come to check it out. Looking at the guards guarding behind the people from afar, they had to retreat and knew that someone was coming to worship Emperor Wu. Over the past year, as the new emperor ascended the extreme, he had to act more and more rebelliously, Luo Yi, the old minister who came to worship the former emperor, was constantly talking about his depression in front of the tomb of the late emperor.
