Chapter 23 Accompany the emperor and travel to the state
In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the first month of spring is the second day of the first month, and the time is seven.
Qianyuan Hall of Luoyang Palace, Li Zhigao sits on the dragon case, and there are thousands of cows on both sides. Zhonglang took Wu Kang as the leader, wore a red military attache uniform, and stood on the left side of the imperial staircase. Under the hall, there are hundreds of military officials, and the Wendong Wuxi sub-station can be described as full of Zhu Zigui.
Among the familiar faces, there is no general Xin Mao in the service, and in the middle of November last year, Lao Xin died. According to his only son, he died of a cold illness at the age of seventy-five, which can also be called a long life. is so well-behaved, and it is only a year to worship the prime minister, which is difficult to hide.
When the time for the court meeting came, Qianniu prepared to pass the message, Su Dingfang wore a military uniform, and personally escorted Duman to the palace. At the end of November last year, the Western Expeditionary Army returned to Broken Leaf City and directly announced the disbandment. The Anxi soldiers returned to Qiuzi, the Uighur soldiers returned to Mobei, and Lao Su led 900 cavalry, fast horses and whipping divisions.
Li Jiu was in a hurry to travel, so he couldn't delay the trip, so he could only work hard to guard. 1,100 cavalry, less than 900 in class, 200 brothers in robes, sleeping on the battlefield of counterinsurgency. Fortunately, the security guards of the Wu camp were not killed, and only 32 were slightly injured, and their luck was so good that they were bursting.
Escorting the captives to the hall, Li Jiu reprimanded a few words, and the ministers began to perform. All shouted and shouted to kill, and demanded that the city be beheaded, which was used to kill chickens and monkeys. Duman was very unhappy, and Lao Su hurriedly interceded and told him how to persuade him to surrender. Li Jiu pretended to fulfill Lao Su's faith and agreed to pardon Duman.
was nakedly slapped in the face, most of the officials were black-faced, and they already hated Lao Su. Li Jiu issued an edict again, and Lao Su had a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, dismissed General Zuo Xiaowei, and promoted General Zuo Wuwei. The actual seal of Xingzhou Julu increased the number of food towns by 500 households, and rewarded countless treasures.
The generals of the Sixteen Guards are on an equal footing on the surface, but in fact there is a gap between high and low. The left and right guards have the highest status, commanding the sixty folds of Chongfu, followed by the left and right Wuhou Wei, and then the left and right Wuwei. The Tang Dynasty respected the left and was a general of the left guard, slightly higher than the right guard.
Li Jiu took care of Su Dingfang, but he would clean up Wukang and use him to make an example. Remove the left collar Fu Zhonglang general, add the inspection school to the left collar general, and the temporary Qianniu general. As for whether to turn positive, when to turn positive, or to the end, it all depends on Li Jiu's mood.
There is no actual reward, but a punishment for half a year, which can make people feel distressed to death. General Zuo Qianniuwei, the official rank is from the third grade, and the annual salary is 300 yuan. Converted into RMB, about one million, and directly fined 500,000. But it doesn't matter, your good daughter-in-law won't let me starve, she will give private money.
Wu Kang was very depressed, and in the next six months, he had to rely on Mei Niang's help, and his wife and daughter to live. A manly man, who eats soft rice every day, will become a laughing stock. It is estimated that in the crossing realm, I am the most humiliating person and have become a poor bastard.
The queen was very powerful, and on the second day of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, she sent her henchmen and eunuchs to the door. sent two buckets of jewels and thirty gold leaves, all of which were her private money. At the same time, let out cruel words, waste it to your heart's content, and then come to me after the flower, my sister will raise you.
Wu Kang is very pleased, women throughout the ages have a tendency to help their younger brothers. Put on the purple robe again, Xiaoqing and Noisy were broken, and their long-cherished wish was fulfilled again. There is also the benefit of having dinner with colleagues, and they take the initiative to pay the bill.
Including Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, these two people regard wealth as their lives, as long as they have dinner with him, they also take the initiative to settle the bill. In particular, Su Dingfang sent Su Qingjie to send two bells of corn on the same day. Wu Kang couldn't cry or laugh, although he was fined for half a year, the pot could still be revealed.
The ordinary life continues, and the Yuan Festival with his wife and daughter is indeed more lively than Wuzhou. On the twenty-third day of the first month, Li Jiu selected officials to jointly patrol and merge the state. Including Su Dingfang, all the prime ministers, the sixteen guard generals, etc. Wu Kang is General Qianniu, the head of Li Jiu's bodyguard, and he must escort him.
The team is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance. Starting from Luoyang, passing through Tongzhou and Xuyang County, passing through Huaizhou and Zezhou, passing through Changpingguan and Luzhou, and finally arriving at Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. This post road is called the West Line, with a total length of 800 miles, and it is a shortcut from Luoyang to Taiyuan.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, he arrived at Changping Pass, and it is said that the general of the Qin State rose from Bai and killed 400,000 Zhao in this pit. Leaving Changping Pass, Mei Niang began to lose, all the passers-by she met, regardless of men, women and children, all appreciated the jade silk.
In order to recover his losses, Li Jiu sent someone over to spread the word and deduct the annual salary. In the future, half of the annual income will be deducted to make fat powder money for Erya. The reason given: I couldn't bear the decadence of the new city, and when I left Changping Pass, I had already assigned her to marry and marry Wei Zhengju. In order to protect her reputation, Erya's identity is the daughter of the eldest grandson, and she will go to live in the Wei family.
Wu Kang readily agreed, thinking about starting some industries, and all the money he earned was used as a dowry for his daughters. Li Jiu is very good to the new city, whether it is Luoyang Palace or parallel to the state, he takes the new city with him. Wei Zhengju was also born in a famous family, his father was the prince of Pengcheng County, who served as Li Jiancheng's family commander, and belonged to Jingzhao Wei's East Dependents.
The procession continued to march, continued to distribute benefits, and the states and counties it passed through along the way, pardoned the exile sentence and emptied all the cells. At noon on the tenth day of February, I went to Taiyuan City in Bingzhou and continued to send gift packages. First of all, amnesty was granted to the state, and those military attachΓ©s who sacrificed their lives for the country and died in the state were rewarded to their descendants.
Elders over eighty years old, the history of the assassination and the county decree are actually false names and have no practical benefits. At the same time, it is permissible to drink for three days, that is, for three days. The people of the Tang Dynasty could drink stuffy wine alone, not three people together. However, this decree is basically in vain.
Accompanying Li Jiu every day and participating in various activities, it was boring and helpless. Busy until the end of February, it was determined that on the fifth day of the first month of March, Mei Niang held a banquet in Jinyang Palace to invite relatives to the old days. This is the main event, or the purpose of this trip, to show off to the neighborhood.
The once wild girl, the flying branches turned into a phoenix, and now she is back home. The saint will feast the male guests, and the female guests will follow me to the inner sanctum, and we will settle the account. All who have helped me will not hesitate to reward; So the bully of me, waiting to tremble.
On the second day of the first month of March, in the old house of the Wu family, Mei Niang gathered relatives and introduced Wu Kang to them: This is my change from my father and brother, surnamed Wu Kang, and I am twenty-six years old this year. In the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, my uncle separated from my grandfather and moved to Pheasant County, Muzhou. However, the sky has eyes, and the sisters and brothers reunited again, and came to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
The so-called subordinate father and brother have a common grandfather, that is, a cousin. Relatives praised one after another, and there was an eighty-year-old man who said that Wu Kang resembled his grandfather. Mei Niang smiled, and rewarded two jade silks on the spot, plus two copper coins.
Completely blow up the pot, relatives are full of words. said that he was a samurai family, and he was too similar to the samurai, and he was all rewarded. Wu Kang was very depressed, not to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but to forget his ancestors. But then again, I don't know who the ancestor is. Daddy is an orphan and was adopted by the surname Wu, so he follows the surname Wu.
After the benefits were sent, Mei Niang pulled him and introduced the neighbors one by one. Wu Kang almost cried, the baby who ate snot was actually the ninth uncle; The babbling child is his second uncle; The baby in the swaddling clothes was his thirteenth grandfather.
Introduce the whole department, each is an elder, and the second master is the lowest. Wu Kangsheng has nothing to love, our neighbors are outrageously low, can they only be grandsons, who can withstand this. I endured and endured, and I didn't say the sentence: I want to cut off relations with you.
Xiaoqing and Noisy are two, behaving very normally, without losing etiquette to say hello. Wu Kang pinched his nose, put on a warm smile, and called his grandfather vaguely. It stands to reason that it should not be, and the level of general seniority depends on whether the person is prosperous or not. The more prosperous the people, the lower the seniority, our family is almost extinct, and the seniority should be high.
After recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, and sending away distant relatives, Mei Niang pretended to reprimand: "Look at your appearance, the seniority is like this, no one can do anything." In addition, the sage decreed that the grandmother of the original fang was crowned Taiyuan Junjun and sealed 200 households. The original workshop was changed to the longevity workshop, and you passed the decree in the past, and at the same time diagnosed and treated Xiaoqing. β
Wu Kang recalled a little and knew who she was, before she set out on the expedition last year, Mei Niang mentioned her. Ninety-three-year-old elderly, blinded and deaf, a well-known gynecologist specializing in infertility. Xiaoqing came to Merge State, and the main purpose was to let her check her body.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's eyes were red, Wu Kang hurriedly rounded the field: "Forget it, this kind of thing is not easy to say, why bother with it." We've already had a fuss, and we're definitely okay with our bodies, and it's a matter of time before we get pregnant, so don't worry. β
Mei Niang was resolute and comforted Xiaoqing: "Don't be sad, there was no problem before, it doesn't mean now." In the past, Kang Lang was in trouble, and you broke into the Hundred Sticks Forest and was seriously injured. My sister was very suspicious that it was the dark wound that left that time, which caused her to not be able to conceive. β
The atmosphere began to be depressed, Wu Kang picked up his daughter and stood beside his daughter-in-law. Seeing that they were crying, they didn't feel good in their hearts, so they looked at Mei Niang and said, "If that's the case, there's no need to check." Xiaoqing suffered because of me, and she will not abandon her wife in this life, even if she cannot have children. Don't worry about it, boys and girls alike..."
Mei Niang couldn't help but go wild, slapped out, and stiffened in mid-air. took the tearful niece, hastily comforted a few words, and continued to reprimand Wu Kang: "Don't talk nonsense, my daughter is a foreign family, and when you are old in the future, your heirs will be able to support your old age." If your daughter marries someone else, they will not know that you will die in the family. β
This is very heart-wrenching, it simply adds fuel to the fire, and the trouble directly cries. Mei Niang was very embarrassed, and hurriedly comforted her. After comforting the little one, he reprimanded the big one: "I am the head of the family, I must go tomorrow, I will accompany you." β
It's just nonsense, why should a married girl be the head of the family? Wu Kang was too lazy to refute, Xiaoqing took it and said, "Let's go and take a look, since my husband went on the expedition, it is difficult to sleep and eat all day." Let Grandma Sun diagnose and treat, if it's my problem, I'll let Fujun take a concubine..."
After that, he hid his face and cried, crying very sadly. Wu Kang took her into his arms, full of helplessness, and begged Wu Meiniang: "Don't make trouble, you've already cried twice, do you want to make me cry?" Let's go over tomorrow, don't think too much, and we'll talk about it after the inspection. β
Mei Niang rolled her eyes, and her tone was very resentful: "I'm for your good, look at your virtue, I don't know good people's hearts." Prepare well tonight, and I will go back and beg Your Majesty to bring Xincheng out as well. She didn't see anyone all day, she didn't dress up, she looked like a madman. β
Wu Kang felt worried again, the fierce medicine had no effect, the new city was very strong, what was good about the eldest grandson? was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mei Niang: "Don't worry too much, since the saint got married, the situation has been much better." In recent days, I have started to pull my hair in a bun and have also walked around the palace. β
It seems that the fierce medicine is useful, she is a kind person, and when she learned that she was married to Wei Zhengju, she believed my words. I hope that history will change, and after marrying Wei Zhengju, I will control my temper more. She lives a few more years, the second girl can be happy for a few years, and I will alleviate my sins.
Mei Niang didn't stay long, and left in a flutter, leaving a mess. Wow wow cried twice, Wu Kang trembled twice, and asked for my own life. In less than half a minute, a large number of people poured in, who were the brothers of Wu Ying. Led by Qian Shun, with a knife in his hand, all of them are fierce and vicious.
What kind of chaos is there, Wu Kang widened his eyes, and ordered lightly: "Tomorrow, the queen will be served, and our family and Xincheng will accompany us." Location: The original square in the east of the city, the home of the target Sun Langzhong, you poured out of the nest, and the level is red alert. Qian Shun went to inform Lao Chu, suspended the surveillance work, and joined the security guard. β
Everyone promised to leave, Qian Shun saw this scene, entangled for a few seconds, looked at the trouble, and had a pleasant face: "Grandma has something to say, the trouble is the most well-behaved, let's go swing." Uncle Shunzi assured that the big guy comforted Madame and would definitely come to us. β
He was very sensible, broke free from his father's arms, and left with Qian Shun. Wu Kang let out a long breath and decided to coax it first, patting his chest and guaranteeing: "Xiaoqing, don't feel uncomfortable, your body is fine, let's make persistent efforts, we will definitely get pregnant." β
However, it didn't work, and the crying became louder. In desperation, he was forced to magnify his moves, stand on a scientific point of view, and reason with facts. Husbands and wives can't get pregnant, the responsibility is not all on the woman, and the man is also possible, it may be my problem.
If you don't believe it, ask the queen to investigate, and it's in Taiyuan City. There will definitely be women who are divorced because of infertility, and then marry other men, and as a result, give birth to two fat boys. In the end, my mouth was dry, and I finally comforted him, so I quickly replenished my water and went out to comfort the little one.
Xiaoqing followed her like a shadow, and the two did their best to appease their daughter. Wu Kang's eyes were bright, and Qian Shun immediately said goodbye, but Xiaoqing sneered, stared at Qian Shun and said, "You are intimate with the trouble, you must know the reason." So until tomorrow, stay in the courtyard and don't go anywhere. β
The trick was discovered, Wu Kang was very embarrassed, and wanted him to go to the original workshop and explain to Grandma Sun to be cautious. glared at him fiercely, and reprimanded with a straight face: "What are you still doing in a daze, obey Madame's arrangement, don't let me see you before leaving tomorrow." β
Qian Shun is like being amnesty, Wu Kang is like falling into an ice cave, and his daughter-in-law is too shrewd to give a chance at all. When Qian Shun left, she was inseparable, and Shangfangfang followed. It's better to give up, stay in the house decisively, and wait until the night to sleep, she is still holding on.
In the early morning of the next day, the caravan drove up, and Meiniang New Town joined forces. Mei Niang took Li Xian, and Xincheng took Erya, all of whom traveled in simple clothes. Since returning from the expedition, the first time I saw Xincheng, I have indeed lost a lot of weight. The two confirmed their eyes, and Xincheng turned his head, looking like a stranger.
Xiaoqing took the trouble to the car and let Wu Kang sit on the wheels and act as a handlebar. She cares very much and does everything she can to prevent collusion. I was also very scared for fear that the results of the examination would be unfavorable. In fact, it doesn't matter, even if you can't have children, just raise a child.
Because the emperor was fortunate to merge with the state, the people wanted to get the dragon's spirit, so they poured in from all directions. The left and right Wuhou guards, the left and right lead the left and right mansions, and are responsible for maintaining order. Horse-drawn carriages are prohibited from passing through various traffic arteries, and Mahara Workshop is also among them. Wu Kang didn't want to have privileges, so he discussed with Mei Niang and decided to walk over.
In less than half a minute, I regretted my bowels, so let's engage in privileges. The three of them spoke in unison, decisively rejected him, and obediently hugged the child. So he hugged the left arm to make trouble, the right arm hugged Li Xian, and the neck rode Erya. The second girl, who lacked heart and eyes, grabbed his hair bun and kept crying, like driving livestock.
The shape of the monkey show has a super high return rate, and the crowd laughs. The three women walk slowly, and when they encounter something new, they will stop and watch. Wu Kang had a sad face, and suddenly found Xincheng, and a light smile flashed on his melancholy face.
couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, the Tang version of Mona Lisa, Shuyu actually laughed. Wu Kangle wanted to cry, and couldn't wait to order: "Er Ya shouted a few more times, and the driving, nest, and child came together." The longer you shout, the more Grandpa hurts you, so shout now. β
The crowd burst into laughter, but Wu Kang didn't care. Erya was very shy, and when she saw her sister's glaring, she closed her mouth aggrievedly. The three women rolled their eyes, Xincheng slowly raised his head, and explained to his daughter: "Don't be rude, sit on it honestly, and beware of falling." β
Erya responded crisply, Wu Kang was relieved again, and his daughter had no fear. This means that Xincheng, who is in a bad mood, has not angered Erya.
The crowd continued on, and in less than three minutes, they were disgusted again. The three stunning beauties, who are still happy, will definitely attract jealousy. In this world, there is no shortage of bullies, and there will be people who will make trouble. And there was a young man, dressed in silk and silk, and with a great number of servants, who stood in his way.
The human-like dog-like gentleman, his eyes swept to the three beautiful women, and he immediately drooled. Wu Kang coughed softly, and the security guards hiding in the shadows did not act rashly. The three of them were extremely deep, all expressionless, and they looked at them with contempt.
The young man was defeated, looked up at Wu Kang, and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Tai is not shallow, and the third concubine's room is as beautiful as a flower, and she is simply envious of others." Brother, please make a price, I will buy it all, and I will never let you suffer. β
This bastard boy is quite bold, the holy car is in Taiyuan, and he can still be so arrogant. With a warm smile, he said lightly: "Brother Tai misunderstood, they are not concubines, they are female brothers and female brothers, and my wife." β
There should be pretending to be forced here, Wu Kang said with a smile: "Brother Tai looks dignified, stretches out silk and satin, and is also a rich and noble family." stared directly at the woman, behaved very rudely, please respect yourself. If nothing else, please get out of the way, we have something to do. β
The gentleman went berserk in an instant, the script returned to normal, and he pointed his nose and shouted: "Damn Tian Shenu, what are you, why teach me a lesson?" To tell you the truth, Naiweng's uncle is the general of the right guard. Give Naiong some acquaintance, your brother and brother, I want to..."
Suddenly there was a roar, it was the patrolling Wuhou Wei, the man was unwilling, gouged out Wu Kang's eyes, and left with the dog's legs. Wu Kang smiled dumbly, Murong Baojie's nephew, no wonder he was so arrogant. As if thinking of something, he coughed three times quickly, and explained embarrassedly: "Choked by saliva, it's not in the way." β
Everyone scoffed, but Mei Niang slowed down and said: "This kind of gentleman is all over the street, Kang Lang doesn't have to mind." When I return to the palace, I will inform Murong Baojie and ask him to discipline him well, and the province will be embarrassed. β
Wu Kang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't step on shit when you wear new shoes, that kind of little minion is not worthy of our shot." There is another two miles of road, which is the original fang, pay attention to safety, let's go back quickly..."
On the crowded street, more than a dozen doglegs opened the way for Murong Qing. When Murong Qing thought of the beautiful woman, his heart was itching for a while, and his face flushed with excitement. Especially his female brother, who is simply a stunner in the world, must get his hands on it.
The doglegs knew it, gave advice to the master, and nodded again and again. At this time, the man who was in a hurry accidentally bumped into Murong Qing. Dogleg was furious, turned around and scolded: "Stop for Naiong, the one in white still wants to leave after hitting someone?" β
However, in less than half a minute, the white clothes disappeared into the crowd. The dog's legs jumped angrily, scolded and turned his head, and in an instant it was like being struck by lightning. Murong Qing was lying on the ground, his body was twitching, and at the center of his heart, there was a dagger inserted...
