In the sixth year of Yonghui (655 AD), May 22, Shen hour 3 quarters.

In the east of Chang'an City, Wukang and Xincheng are shopping, and they have just come out of the Horse Mansion. Sure enough, as Mei Niang said, the father and daughter had similar eyebrows and eyes, but he was so happy that he hugged him tightly and was reluctant to let go. Erya is very face-saving, with watery eyes, and occasional laughter at the corners of her mouth.

It was originally very harmonious, but it was stirred by the eldest grandson Lin, and the little rabbit cub cried his nose and cried Erya. The two of them worked hard to finally lull them to sleep, and suffering came. Xincheng's brain is funny, Lawukang goes to the bedroom, and ravages in a different way. Especially those stinky feet, it is estimated that he has not been washed for a few days, and he almost smoked him to death.

The shadow hangs over the heart, and there is quite no love. Xincheng felt a little guilty, and smirked to flatter: "Kang Lang, don't be angry, this queen promises you that you will definitely wash your feet next time." Don't be so stingy, manly man, go back and ask you for milk. ”

This girl lacks heart, glared at her fiercely, and left the milk for the baby. Xincheng smiled awkwardly and changed the topic: "This morning, the maidservant reported that she made a fuss with Li Xian, which is really a tragedy... Kang Lang, stay a few more days, Wuzhou Di Renjie is in charge, there will be no big problems. ”

Wu Kang was not angry: "Silly, I don't understand anything, and I can't do small problems." The rice harvest in Zhancheng is imminent, and the Qin Cha will soon arrive in Wu and must go back to preside. Di Renjie sent a letter, and the people went crazy, singing and dancing to celebrate the harvest, and they were repeatedly banned at night. In order to maintain order, the militia has been dispatched, and if I don't go back, something big will happen. ”

Xincheng expressed his dissatisfaction, and comforted him after a few minutes: "Don't worry, Wuguan is not a wine bag and rice bag, he will definitely be able to handle it." It is normal for the people to be crazy, and the spring sowing and autumn harvest have been thousands of years, but they have been broken by the occupation of the city. It is expected that there will be two bumper harvests, double the amount of grain, and no need to pay rent, and anyone will go crazy. ”

It makes sense to say that the field rent is charged on an annual basis, two times per year of rice, and the summer harvest can not be paid. However, I have a hunch that with the urine of the bigwigs, when they return to Beijing to report, they will definitely be demons, and they will definitely propose to collect rent on a quarterly basis.

Secretly made up his mind, coaxed the girls in Xincheng, and went to visit Li Yifu. After finishing the third major event, and then leaving Beijing, Wuzhou was upgraded to Shangzhou, and a large number of government affairs were waiting to be handled. The two passed by a tavern, Wu Kang glanced out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously stopped.

In the tavern, by the window, a middle-aged man sits, pouring himself a drink and drinking stuffy wine, and his white face wrinkled into bitter melon. Quickly recall "Security Who's Who", compare the portrait of the big guy, and the information pours into my mind: Li Yifu's name is Yiming, he is forty-one years old, a native of Raoyang County, Yingzhou (Raoyang County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province), and later lived in Yongtai County, Zizhou (Yanting County, Mianyang City, Sichuan).

Zhenguan for eight years, served as the provincial ceremony; Recommended by Ma Zhou, he was appointed to supervise the imperial history and serve Li Zhi, the king of Jin; Zhenguan for 17 years, served as the prince, and was a bachelor of Chongxian Hall; In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, ascended the throne and served as a scholar in the middle school; In the second year of Yonghui, he also studied national history and received a bachelor's degree in Jiahong Literature.

It was originally smooth sailing, but recently poured blood mold, and it will soon get out. No wonder you can't drink stuffy wine, it's better to meet by chance and solve it in a tavern. He is Mei Niang's true son, and the political storm of abolishing Wang Liwu must be started by him.

whispered to Xincheng, turned into the tavern, and the doctor greeted him with courtesy. Wu Kang pointed at Li Yifu and instructed the counter shopkeeper: "From now on, I will cover the tavern, and the wine money of the diners will be counted on my head; From now on, please go out except for the people at the window. ”

The arrogant words showed the true character of the local tyrant, and the new city pulled him to the corner of his clothes. Li Yifu raised his head, sneered to show disdain, and continued to pour himself a drink. Dr. Wine is demented, the shopkeeper does not dare to speak, and the distinguished guest wears a purple robe, and he definitely can't afford to offend.

Seven tables of diners left six tables, someone was very good, only one scholar in a Confucian robe remained, and he drank indifferently. Wu Kang strode over, opened the counting bag on his waist, and took out two taels of silver ingots. Gently put the wine table, leave without saying a word, and whisper to the shopkeeper.

In less than half a minute, the scholar got up and left, and the silver ingot was taken away. The shopkeeper ran to the stairs, and the doctor closed the door and stayed out of the window. Wu Kang walked to the window, hugged his fist at Li Yifu, moved the stool to the east, and waited for Xincheng to sit down.

Go around to the opposite side of Li Yi's mansion, take out the goldfish bag around your waist, take out your personal seal, and hand it to the doctor outside the window: "Take my token, go to the red sorghum wine factory, and move a jar of eighteen miles of red." Ben Guan and Li Sheren, have a few drinks here. ”

Li Yifu raised his head, made a gesture of invitation, looked at it for a moment, and put on a professional smile: "Eighteen miles of red is a good wine, Zhaoyi gave three altars, and the old man has treasured it to this day." If what you expect is true, your Excellency is Zhaoyi's cousin, the assassin of Wuzhou and the governor of Yuezhou, I don't know what to advise? ”

The appearance is gentle and respectful, and the smile is like a spring breeze. In line with the evaluation of historical books, the idiom hides a knife in a smile, and it is because of him that he was born. Wu Kang was very interested, and saluted respectfully again: "Recently, in Chang'an, I have encountered trouble, please help solve it, how to charge your price." ”

Talking about business, you, Li Yifu was happy, and his smile was still kind: "Wudu Governor said that he laughed, Zhaoyi was favored by the saint, if she couldn't solve it, the old man would have nothing to do." In addition, please call the old man Li Gong, or call Mr. ”

Wu Kang smiled lightly: "Chang'an, the capital city, is a scholar of the house, is on the fifth grade, and has a real official position; Bizhou in Shuzhong, Sima in Bizhou, from the six products, has no power and no power; Downgraded six levels in a row, heaven and hell, the end of the world is close at hand, sad and lamentable, ridiculous and resentful. ”

The wine glass stopped at the edge of his mouth, the smile disappeared, his brows were twisted, and his heart was surging: I offended the eldest grandson Wuji, I was demoted to Sima of Bizhou, and the edict was in Zhongshu Province. Wang Dejian, a member of the Zhongshu House, is my best friend, and he told me this morning, how did he know?

Wu Kang smiled lightly: "Degrading the official edict, going to the door of the province, it is a certainty, and it is a big crisis." The so-called crisis, in danger, contains opportunities. If Li Sheren helps, I will show the way and ask the saint to stay in the middle and not send it. You continue to be a scholar in the middle school, and even add an official to the knighthood, I don't know if you are interested? ”

Li Yifu scoffed, he was not very old, and his tone was not small. It is the eldest grandson Wuji who harms me, I can't be taken seriously by the saint, and he won't tear his face with the eldest grandson Wuji because of me. Don't say you're a hairy boy, even if Wu Zhaoyi pleads, it won't help.

After drinking the wine in the glass, the wine glass is placed on the table, and the perfunctory smile is displayed. Seeing Dr. Jiu returning, Li Yifu shut up and tried to maintain a smile. Wu Kang took the wine jar, uncovered the mud at the mouth of the altar, poured out the old wine in the wine pot, and changed it for eighteen miles of red. Put the wine jar and serve the wine jug, fill it for the two of them, and wave your hand to invite you to drink together.

Li Yifu swiped his wine glass, clinked glasses perfunctorily, and drank it all with his head up. The mouth is soft, the throat is a line, and it is really good wine. put down the wine glass and said lightly: "Governor Wudu understands the inside story, and the old man will no longer hide it." Three days later at the latest, the edict arrives in Menxia Province, and the old man must leave Beijing. So may I ask Wudu Dudu, what do you want the old man to help you with? ”

You are finally on the road, and Wu Kang smiled very truly: "The sage wants to establish Zhaoyi as the queen, but he can't get the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is worried that the prime minister will oppose it, so he has not officially proposed it." He needs a certain important minister, publicly write to ask for Zhaoyi, and completely put it in the court. ”

Li Yifu's body trembled slightly, his smile gradually disappeared, and his wine glass became tighter and tighter. Liang Jiu shook his head decisively, his eyes were full of ridicule, and the yin and yang were weird: "Huangkou Xiaoer, talking nonsense, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they can all go to the book, but they dare not go to the book." Even if the old man reads the book, the edict will not be left behind, and the old man will still be degraded, or even farther away. ”

Suddenly, he heard a crisp and cold snort, and Xincheng glared at Li Yifu, showing signs of rampage. My Kang Lang, I can only beat and scold, what are you?

The two were stunned at the same time, Li Yifu's face was full of displeasure, and the uneducated scholar rushed over with vicious eyes. Wu Kang secretly shouted that it was not good, the table was under the table to appease Xincheng, and his aunt and grandmother were calm, don't be bad.

In about half a minute, the tigress turns into a small sheep. Xincheng restrained his anger, took the wine jug on the table, and filled it for the two of them. Wu Kang was dumbfounded, Li Yifu's face softened, and he didn't care about the scholar. Looking up at Wu Kang, he still hid his knife in his smile, and raised his glass to invite him to drink.

Putting down the wine glass, Wu Kang said: "What Mr. Fang Cai said, I have a different opinion. The recital of the abolition of Wang Liwu will have different consequences if it is handed over by different courtiers. If I were to deliver it, the saint would not be grateful, or even angry with me. ”

Li Yifu's face sank like water, and Wu Kang continued to flicker: "Back then, Princess Tong'an introduced the Wang family to Taizong, and Taizong promised King Jin as a princess. After that, the king of Jin was appointed as the crown prince and canonized as his crown princess. King Jin ascended the throne and canonized her as queen. Only the ministers who witness this process are qualified to write the book, otherwise they will only add to the ridicule. ”

The reason is very simple, Li Yifu was slightly moved, and soon thought so. Those who have not experienced the whole process are not qualified to point fingers. bar

Wu Kang was very satisfied, and then flickered: "When the sage was the king of Jin, you served in the palace, and later became the crown prince and watched the sage grow. In the whole world, only your book is the most convincing and the most grateful to the saints. ”

Li Yifu's calves trembled slightly, and he felt that there was some truth, and he was silent for a moment and said: "I am just a Wupin Sheren, and I have served the saint for many years, and I have never been taken seriously. Wudu Governor's uncle, the imperial historian Cui Gong, the official residence is the third product, and he was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe. In my opinion, he is better at reading, so why did he come to me? ”

There was a sound on the stairs, and the shopkeeper came with a wooden plank, a chessboard and black and red chess pieces. The two looked at each other and smiled, and they cleaned up together, setting up the chessboard and setting up the chess pieces. Wu Kang took the red first, picked up the left horse, and jumped out of Zhengrige.

Li Yifu marched into the army to deal with it, and Wu Kang said with a smile: "As Li Gong said, it is okay for Cui Gong to write a book, but he doesn't have the courage and feels that it is unnecessary." The eldest grandson Wuji will oppose it, and the prime ministers will also oppose it, for fear of retaliation from them. ”

I am also afraid of retaliation, Li Yifu pulled out a mockery, and quickly thought of something, and his expression gradually became cautious. Carefully savored the words, and gradually revealed: Queen Wang is the granddaughter of Wang Sizheng, and Wang Sizheng is the left servant of the Western Wei Dynasty; Changsun Wuji is the son of Changsun Sheng, and Changsun Sheng is the former Sui and the right Xiaowei general.

Lai Ji is the son of Lai Hu'er, Lai Hu'er is the former Sui, General Zuo Yiwei; Han Yuan's ancestral home is Sanyuan, Yongzhou, and he was recommended by his eldest grandson Wuji before he was promoted to prime minister; Chu Suiliang is the son of Chu Liang, Chu Liang is a former Sui, and he is a regular attendant.

Wu Kang smiled lightly: "Empress Wang and the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as those prime ministers, are either after Wei Chen or after Sui Chen. They have a common name - Guanlongmen Valve. The queen's background is in the interests of Guanlongmen. ”

Pi Ma rushed out of the river boundary, and Wu Kang continued: "Li Meiniang is the queen, and they are against it; If Concubine Xiao Shu is appointed as the queen, they will also oppose it; All women in the world, as long as they are not from the Guanlong family, they will oppose it. ”

Li Yifu trapped Pima and got out of the car to attack the left side. Wu Kang Zhishi defended and said with a light smile: "The Guanlong Gate Valve monopolizes the government, and the sage is eloquent and strategic, and he is unwilling to be set aside." The abolition of Wang Liwu is just a pretense, and in the final analysis, it is still a political struggle. In this political chess game, the sage must be a chess player, not a chess piece. There needs to be an important minister, acting as a vanguard officer, to start this game of chess. ”

Single-handedly chopping horses, Li Yifu smiled: "The chess game is too big, the virtuous brother's horse, greedy for merit, isolated, so he was hanged." Cui Yixuan didn't dare to be a pioneer, he was afraid of the revenge of the Guanlongmen valve, wasn't I afraid? ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, and defended himself: "The revenge of the Guanlongmen valve, the worst result is nothing more than the dismissal of the official." Uncle Weng's family has a big business, and he doesn't dare to cast a mouse taboo, but Li Gong is different. You have lost your official position, you are already facing the worst outcome, what are you afraid of? ”

staring at the chess pieces of the Nine Palaces, his words were chiseled: "The horse is isolated and helpless, the car is rampant, and it can be attacked and defended." The more aid is needed, the more aid is available. Guanlongmen valve dictatorship, colleagues have long been dissatisfied, as long as the car goes out, someone will definitely get on the car. ”

Li Yifu picked up the car, moved to the top door "Xiang", shook his head and said: "Brother Xian's hand is a stinky chess, and he deliberately sent me the prime minister." However, this phase is not the other phase; This prime minister is not the prime minister. Brother Xian didn't have this ability, and neither did Wu Zhaoyi. ”

Wu Kang did not deny it, and said lightly: "You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and you shouldn't think about the prime minister now; The retention of the degraded official edict is the urgent need. Again, the crisis I understand is an opportunity in danger. The opportunity is just around the corner, go to Shu to be a Sima? Continue to be a scholar in China? It's all in Li Gong's thoughts! ”

The car smashed on the photo, making a crisp sound. Li Yifu lifted his face, tucked it into his sleeve, and smiled a little more sincerely. Pointing at the red handsome, he stared at Wu Kang and said, "I am now a general, and if the virtuous brother wants to solve the situation, he can only abandon the car and marshal the car." ”

Wu Kang didn't care, he gave up the two cars, and Li Yifu smiled: "Brother Fool is very puzzled, you and Wu Zhaoyi have no blood relationship. Why put yourself in her shoes and think about her everywhere? There is only one handsome, I don't know who is the real handsome in the heart of the virtuous brother? ”

Wu Kang didn't want to answer, so he opened the pocket on his waist and grabbed the red handsome and stuffed it into the pocket. stood up and hugged his fists, and began to blow to each other in business: "Li Gong's chess skills are superb, and Wu Kang is ashamed of himself; Li Gongqi's victory is a good sign. ”

Li Yifu laughed heartily and returned the salute with a fist: "By virtue of the good brother Jiyan, I still have something to deal with, so I will leave." If the flag is victorious and becomes a victorious general, this picture in the sleeve will be returned to the virtuous brother one day. ”

After another moment of greetings, the conversation ended and Li Yifu was sent away. Finally finished the third thing, and when I returned to the chessboard, I saw Xincheng with red eyes. sighed helplessly, and came to kill him: "Shuyu I'm sorry, this is the general trend of history, and we can't stop it." With Li Yifu's virtue, even if I don't mention it, I will give it a go. ”

Xincheng looked up and looked directly: "I can't control this, and I don't want to care about it, I want my eldest grandson to live." Your daughter will be happy as long as he lives, otherwise I'll take her... Marrying the butcher who killed the pig made her suffer for the rest of her life. ”

Wu Kang was stunned on the spot, unlucky girl, she is also your daughter. Full of helplessness, I was about to say a few words, and then I heard Xincheng ask: Li Yifu's question, you haven't answered it yet, tell me quickly... Don't pretend to be stupid for me, why do you help Wu Zhaoyi? Who is the handsome in your heart?

This is a good answer, Wu Kang coughed dryly, and said: "Mei Niang is the queen, I can be promoted and become the prime minister." As for this handsome, what Li Yifu said is not right, there can be more than one handsome. All my loved ones, including you, are my handsome. ”

"You can pull it down, the ghost believes you", Xincheng rolled his eyes, turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "Li Yifu is condescending and respectful, and he still calls you virtuous brother, and he doesn't want to have a face." You only call him Li Gong, not Brother Tai, do you hate him very much? ”

Wu Kang pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I hate him very much, I have great powers and know what will happen in the future, and that grandson will not end well." Since Shuyu is interested, let's have a good chat, and I'll tell you about the future of Li Yifu..."

The story is whimsical, and the more Xincheng listens to it, the more angry he becomes, Li Yifu is really not a thing, a full traitorous official and minister. However, the male protagonist of the story, at this moment, trotted all the way to Pingkangfang. found Wang Dejian's concubine, saw the fox friend and dog friend, and left Meizizi.

Performed the night shift for Wang Dejian, all the way to the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, the office of Zhongshu Province. Wipe off the sweat on your forehead, prepare the four treasures of the study, and bite the pen to brew. The pen walks the dragon and snake, sprinkled with joy, which roughly means: the queen has no children, and she is not qualified to be a mother in the world; Wu Zhaoyi has a acting king and a king of Lu, and should be established as the queen.

When I stopped writing, I was full of regrets and slapped my mouth. On the nineteenth day of the first month of this year, Li Hong was crowned the king, and Li Xian was crowned the king of Lu. It was the Acting King, the oldest prince, which meant vicarious succession. The signal is so obvious, why don't you feel at ease, now you owe Wukang favors, how can you pay it back?

Curse a few words and continue to write, put down the pen after writing, lean over to dry the ink. Carefully check it three times, whether it can soar, just look at this watch. Carefully folded, tucked into a hard board, and snug against the chest. ate indiscriminately, waited for half an hour, and went straight to the harem.

Luxurious Ziwei Palace, Li Jiu and Mei Niang, are teasing little Li Xian. The eunuch hurriedly came to report, and the old face smiled into a bun: Tell Your Majesty, Zhaoyi, Li Yifu, a scholar in the middle of the night, knock on the door and write a book. Request to depose the queen and establish Zhaoyi instead.

When she was silent, Mei Niang was the first to come back to her senses, and she couldn't suppress her excitement. Li Jiuzhi rubbed his hands, and Le's facial features were hideous: "Where is he, let him go to the study and wait, and I will meet him immediately." You go to Sande, take out a bucket of jewels, and I will give him a reward. ”

Mei Niang helped from the side: "A few days ago, the concubine heard that Li Yifu, a scholar from Zhongshu, was demoted to Sima of Bizhou because he offended his uncle. The edict is in the province of Zhongshu, and it has not yet been issued to the province, so such a loyal minister and a good talent can't be degraded. ”

Li Jiu nodded again and again, and ordered people to go to Zhongshu Province and find the edict to stay in Zhongzhong. tidied up his appearance slightly, said goodbye to Mei Niang, and left with Siqian. Walking all the way, the United States could not find the north, and finally found the pioneer officer.

Mei Niang coaxed Li Xian to sleep and came to the outer hall to meditate, and the whole person was like a spring breeze. The henchmen said hello one after another, praised Li Yifu one after another, and all of them were rewarded. Send away the maidservant, sit quietly on the Taishi chair, and grin silently.

I really didn't expect that Kang Lang would find Li Yifu, a more suitable candidate than Cui Yixuan. Do your best, and do it so beautifully, my sister won't treat you badly. Thinking of this model, I got up, threaded the needle under the light, and the tailor wore a purple robe...
