Finally, the hard work paid off, as soon as Li Mu and Dugu Jiu appeared at the gate of the fang, Xu Jingzong found them and trotted to the horse.

He recognized Li Mu, Li Mu and Dugu Jiu didn't recognize him, suddenly someone rushed over, Dugu Jiu immediately pulled out his sword and put it on Xu Jingzong's neck.

Xu Jingzong wanted to kneel in front of Li Mu's horse in one go, but with a sharp blade on his neck, he didn't dare to move recklessly, and the whole person froze there.

"Who are you? Don't want to die? ”

"Xiaguan Xu, Xu Jingzong, suddenly saw Hou Ye, and they were so happy that they offended Hou Ye, capital crime, capital crime, capital crime, capital crime, capital crime......"

"Oh, Master Xu." Li Mu waved his hand, got off the horse, looked at Xu Jingzong, and said, "The bachelor is too early, Ben Hou still wants to deal with other things, and then wait for the bachelor." ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "The bachelor doesn't dare to be, in front of the Hou Ye, the bachelor is only worthy of calling himself a student." How dare you let Hou Ye wait, naturally he should come early. ”

Li Mu smiled and didn't say anything, but thought in his heart, sure enough, he knew about it in the TV series, this person was a villain.

In fact, saying that Xu Jingzong is a villain also has some elements of wrongdoing. Throughout Xu Jingzong's life, although it is not very glorious, it is not to the level of a villain. But Li Mu believes that he is a villain, and there is a reason.

Since he made up his mind to contact Xu Jingzong, Li Mu sent Jinyiwei to investigate this person, and he was very ashamed of some of the things he had done.

Xu Jingzong's father, Xu Shanxin, was in the Sui Dynasty. In the middle of the Sui Dynasty, Xu Jingzong was admitted to Xiucai and awarded Huaiyang Shuzuo. Soon, he was on duty at the Confessor's Desk, responsible for delivering documents, and being able to meet the emperor in person, not to mention the green clouds, but also a young talent. At this time, Xu Jingzong had no stain in his life. But then Yu Wenhua staged a coup d'état and killed Emperor Yang of Sui, and his father Xu Shanxin was not spared. At this time, Xu Jingzong was not only indignant at his father's death, but begged Yu Wenhua to spare him from death. Yu Wenhua spared his life, and soon he defected to Wagang to take charge of the documents together with Wei Zheng for Li Miji's room. His friendship with Wei Zheng began at that time.

After the fall of Wagang, he defected to the Tang Dynasty with the remnants of Wagang. Wei Zheng took refuge in Li Jiancheng, and Xu Jingzong was more optimistic about Li Shimin, although Li Shimin was the king of Qin at that time, but he was not the prince after all, so he could only recruit Li Jiancheng to recruit talents.

It should be said that according to his qualifications, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he should be reused. But perhaps it was Li Shimin who heard what he had done and was not ashamed of his character, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he did not reuse him, but sent him to a quiet place, served as a writer, and was ordered to repair the history of Sui.

Don't look at the Sui Dynasty for many years, but the work of repairing history is very cumbersome and requires continuous research, and Xu Jingzong has fallen into the quagmire since then, and he can't get out. What's even more helpless is that there is no place for outstanding history cultivation at all, and there is no merit to make meritorious contributions, so it gradually fades out of everyone's sight.

This is a stain on the first half of his life, and Li Mu, as a person who has crossed over, also knows the stain of his late childhood.

Xu Jingzong is older than Li Shimin, but he can live much longer than Li Shimin. When Li Zhi became the emperor, he was still alive and kicking when he was seventy or eighty. Because he was the prince's right concubine, he was close to Li Zhi, and he could also guess Li Zhi's psychology. Therefore, when Li Zhi wanted to abolish Queen Wang and establish Wu Zetian as the queen, he was the first to stand up and express his support.

At that time, Xu Jingzong had a little bit of Li Muyu's demeanor of fighting Confucianism. He was alone, confronting the 'Empress Bao' faction led by the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other ministers who cared for their lives, plus Li Zhi's partial gang, and finally contributed to the abolition of Wang Liwu. Its ability to reverse right and wrong in black and white, and its shameless posture are by no means comparable to others.

Therefore, on two points, Li Mu decided that he was a villain. But Xu Jingzong's character is certainly contemptible, but this person's literary talent is not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed to revise history, and he would not have played an important role in the process of abolishing Wang Liwu. What Li Mu values is his advantages in this regard.

Cultivating the Tang Dynasty Law is not an overnight thing. Now I don't know how Li Shimin wants to decide, but listening to the tone, Li Shimin probably wants to make a separate yamen, specifically responsible for repairing the law, so in this yamen, Li Mu must have a capable undercover agent, just like there is Wang Jingze in the Yushitai.

Xu Jingzong is the person he chose.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and politely let each other into heaven and earth. Stepping into the private room on the second floor, I sat down under the waiter's service. Xu Jingzong did not ask Li Mu to order food with great fanfare, but ordered a few side dishes according to his own speculation. This shows his thoughts, what kind of person is Li Mu! In today's Chang'an City, he dares to say that he is the richest man, and absolutely no one stands up to stand up. If Xu Jingzong asked Li Mu to order casually and put on the momentum of an upstart, it would be a failure, and it might cause him dissatisfaction.

But if you order your own food, it doesn't matter. Because Li Mu was looking for him, after all, it wasn't for food. And if he can order Li Muhe's dishes, he will show his meticulousness.

"I heard that Hou Ye was summoned, Jingzong didn't sleep all night last night, and he was thinking about what happened to Hou Ye's call, and what can Jingzong do for Hou Ye......"

Xu Jingzong's sycophants are also obviously a level higher than the likes of Ergou, sycophants are like drizzle, moisturizing things and silent, and they will not be disgusted because they are too densely shot.

Li Mu took a sip of tea, laughed, and said: "I want to see the bachelor because I have seen the master's ghostwriting, which is brilliant, thoughtful and meticulous." I asked Xu Ji again, and learned that the bachelor is now just a writer, and he is not worth it, with the bachelor's literary style and ability, a writer Lang is obviously overkill. ”

"This ......" Hearing Li Mu mention this matter, Xu Jingzong's eyes crossed a gloomy, he smiled bitterly, and said: "When Jingzong was young, he did an unsightly thing, and with today's experience, Jingzong has nothing to say. ”

"Oh?" Li Mu roughly guessed what he wanted to say, and was quite surprised, pretending not to know, and said, "What is it that makes the bachelor so concerned?" ”

Xu Jingzong sighed: "In the past, he rebelled against the thief Yu culture and rushed into the line to kill Emperor Yang and his father. Jingzong begged for his life to live to this day. You can't avenge your father, you can't be filial, you can't be a thief, and you're unfaithful. Jingzong is a disloyal and unfilial person, and what kind of literary ability he talks about, it is just to increase his spurning. ”

The corners of Li Mu's mouth hooked up a smile, he noticed that when Xu Jingzong spoke, although his eyes did not look at him, Yu Guang had been paying attention to him, and after saying this, his body tensed in vain, showing that he was very nervous.

If it's an unsightly thing, why does he still say it?

It is enough to see that he deliberately did the opposite, which is also a big gamble for him!
