In the first year of Lin De (664 AD), the eighteenth day of the fifth month of summer, two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the past, Taizong died, and the Turkic Ashinadur and the Tiele people Qibi He Li asked for a funeral for Zhaoling, but were stopped by Li Jiu. Faithfully moved the emperor, and all of them were added to the ranks, and the two mixed very well. He Li, the Duke of Yuguo, worships General Zuo Xiaowei, and the saints are honored and favored to this day.

Masan Ashinadur, the official worshiped the general of the right guard, and the general of the town army was sealed, and he was buried in Zhaoling after his death. His son, Ashina Daozhen, worships General Zuo Rongwei and is a serious lieutenant general of the army. has taken over his father's class, became the emperor's confidant, and will be promoted in the future.

The princess of Xincheng died, Wu Kang's heart was like a knife, and he trespassed into Zhaoling to worship, out of sincerity. But he went on a hunger strike for six days, but he was acting, imitating Zhaoling and being martyred. took the initiative to ask for removal, but in fact, he took retreat as advance, Li Jiu ate this set and promoted him on the spot.

Current official positions: General Zuo Fengchenwei, General Zuo Yulin, Zhiright Yulin Training, Inspector Prince Right Prison Guard, General Xuanwei of Shangzhu State, Founding Duke of Dongyang County. It sounds scary, but it's actually scary, and it's pitiful with little real power.

Wu Kang's tears rained down, crying because of guilt, but this guilt has changed its taste. used his dead lover to gain Li Jiu's trust, so as to be promoted and make a fortune. Promotions are ridiculous, more and more politicians, and no matter what, they will squeeze profits. This kind of guilt is not only to be a bitch, but also to set up an archway.

The types of official positions in the Tang Dynasty are roughly divided into five types: honorary titles, civil and military officials, civil and military officials, knighthoods and honors. Wukang's Shangzhu Kingdom, the commander of the twelfth turn, has been trained to the full level. The founding prince of Dongyang County, the title of the second grade, is also the second highest, and then the prince of the country.

Dongyang County is Wuzhou, Jinhua District, Zhejiang, and once served as the Assassin of Wuzhou. The daughter Mrs. Dongyang County, the fate of Sanpin, and the wife Mrs. Chu Guo, the fate of Congyipin, are all in the Jiangnan area. The next goal is to mix with the Duke of Chu and train the title to the full level.

And the civil and military officials, there are those who have no position, and they are mixed and wait for death. His General Xuanwei is a four-rank military officer, so it doesn't matter if he has it or not. And the honorary title refers to the three princes and three divisions, Taiwei Situ Sikong, Taishi Taifu Taibao. They are all genuine products, they are all honorary titles, and most of them are posthumously presented to the dead.

Civil and military officials, with specific positions, and above the second rank, are not in a high position. The real power is the Zhengsanpin officials, including all the prime ministers, the Sixteenth Wei General. General Zuo Fengchen is subordinate to it, and the military attache is mixed up. The higher left and right guards are estimated to be very difficult, and they have no intention of pursuing.

And Li Jiu's promise, General Zuo Yulin, is equivalent to General Zuo Fengchen, and he is also a military attache of the third grade. At this time, the left and right Yulin Army, although it has been established, has not yet been formally established. The general and the general, concurrently served by the sixteen guards, were inspected before their posts.

But then again, whether it is the Northern Ya Forbidden Army or the Southern Ya Zhuwei. The position of general is generally rarely appointed, and is mostly held by the prince. For example, Li Xian, the king of Pei, is also the general of the right guard; After Zheng Rentai was demoted, two-year-old Li Xulun was also the general of the right military guard.

It was the two generals who really handled military affairs. In fact, it is very easy to understand, taking Zuo Yulin as an example, the two Yulin generals must be restraining each other. Their disunity, fighting each other for supervision, for the emperor, can sit back and relax.

If there is a great general and monopolizes the military power of Yulin, Li Jiu will not be able to sleep. This position will only be granted unless you are particularly trusted and treated as your own. It's a pity that the reality is skinny, Li Jiu doesn't believe in Wukang and will never trust it. To General Zuo Yulin, it is also nominal, and it can be said that it is insignificant.

The current Zuo Yulin, the two inspection generals, namely Qibi He Li and the general of the Left Guard, Zhang Yanshi, are all diehards of Li Jiu. Wu Kang wooed them, basically wishful thinking, and estimated that General Yulin would be overshadowed by them.

Knowing the training of the right feather forest, it is even funnier to say, and he is responsible for the training of the right feather forest. Wu Kang even felt that the general of the left Yulin and the training of the right Yulin were combined, and they were the head of the forbidden army. is similar to the Water Margin, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army is scared to death when he listens, but in fact he is just an instructor.

The prince's right prison guard rate, one of the ten rates in the East Palace, similar to the right prison guard. One guards the gates of the palace and the other guards the gates of the East Palace, similar to the doorman. What's even more ridiculous is that the school is inspected before the official position, indicating that it was appointed by the emperor, and it is not recorded by the ministry, and it is not an official position.

Therefore, his official position, the one who really has real power and can make full power is General Zuo Fengchen. To sum up, Wu Kang and Li Jiu are not things. Someone's acting skills are superb, and someone sees the tricks, no matter when and where, they are intriguing.

After leaving Zhaoling, Li Jiu sent an edict to fulfill his promise of promotion. Give him two months of vacation, he doesn't have to accompany Wang to escort him, and he goes home to recuperate first. Wu Kang said goodbye to Mei Niang, took his family back to Chang'an, relieved his bad mood, and sorted out all kinds of trivial matters.

Choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, take your wife and concubine and daughter, and go to worship your sister Wushun. met Helan Minzhi, he was filial piety in the knot, thin and not human-looking. However, for Wu Kang, the etiquette is very sufficient, and calling his uncle in his mouth is not perfunctory.

This kid is very good, he is not affected by his mother, and he is still close to his uncle. When I visited Yang's family, I didn't eat behind closed doors, but I had a bad heart. Yang looked haggard, his hair was much grayer, his waist was also crumbling, and his forehead was full of wrinkles.

is very cold to Wu Kang, and he is not shy about the daughters of the Wu family. It is estimated that in her heart, she believes that her nephew is the murderer. She guessed well, but unfortunately there was no evidence, except for Mei Niang, she didn't know the truth. The people at the scene of the murder, Erxian committed suicide by poisoning, and the rest were all killed.

The worse thing is coming, Erya has a cold attitude, is silent all day long, and does not let go of the box. Don't communicate with people, no matter who cares, don't pretend. When I went back to my room after eating, I didn't come out to play, like a wooden man.

Wu Kang's heart is like a knife, this girl is like her mother, and the wordless cold violence makes him feel haggard. In fact, I can understand that when my mother was seriously ill and died, my father was not around. Her loneliness and helplessness, all her heartache and pain, all her hatred, hating her father for not being responsible.

There is really nothing to be done, but to double the pampering and meticulous care. Whenever in the dead of night, after being awakened by a nightmare, the endless guilt in my heart turns into tears. Crying silently with my head covered, I am sad and helpless, and sometimes I think, is this retribution?

Make full use of the holiday, accompany the daughter-in-law to talk to the Buddha, accompany the noisy to learn and play, and accompany the second girl to embroider in a daze. The most important task is to take Erya to play, although she is cold and violent, she is very obedient. Whether you go shopping or go on an outing to watch a play, you will never refuse.

just doesn't talk or laugh, and doesn't answer questions, looking bitter and hateful. Wu Kang is extremely convinced that no matter the pain of hatred, it will be healed by time. After all, blood is thicker than water, as long as you care for it, even if it is an iceberg, you can fuse it.

Shopping at two ends for three days, hoping for a miracle, hoping that Erya will speak, even if it is just a coincidence. Until noon today, in the antique street of the West Market, a coincidence was finally ushered in. Outside a certain store, when he met Xu Jingzong, he also happened to be shopping.

The coincidence came suddenly, and if he believed it, then he was a fool. This old horseman, with countless prostitutes at home, lives a drunken life and will not go out shopping. Even if you want to go shopping, you won't take people with you, bypass the bustling East Market, run half of Chang'an City, and come to the West Market to join in the fun.

However, this old fellow, with a very tough body, is seventy-two years old this year, and his eyes are not dazzled or deaf. The official fortune is still prosperous, just three years in Longshuo, the official worships the prince and the young master, and the three products of the east and west are still supervising the history of the country.

The young master of the crown prince is from the second grade, and he is also a high-ranking power, and he is awarded to the old courtier. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wu Kang hugged Erya, and his tone was almost pleading: "My precious girl, this is your Xu Daweng, how are you okay?" ”

The heart is raised to the throat, the eyes are attentive and urgent, and the smile is sweet and bitter. For two minutes, the expressionless Erya, her lips trembled slightly. Looking at Xu Jingzong, he finally opened his mouth: "The slave has seen the big man, and I wish the big man a long life." ”

Wu Kang almost cried, his throat was blocked uncomfortably, and his eyes were full of tears. It's been almost two months, and the girl finally spoke, and all the effort was worth it. The method was wrong before, so I took her to visit the old guys in the future. For example, Li Yifu, Yuan Gongyu, Li Tao, etc., Erya is polite...

Jingzong smiled, looked at Wu Kang with emotion, nodded at Erya, and said half-jokingly: "Erniang's wish can be realized, Daweng, this old bone, will live for at least another ten years." Change with me into the store and buy a meeting gift for Erya, I can't be rude. ”

Next to it is a calligraphy and painting shop, which sells famous calligraphy and paintings, and ordinary people can't afford to buy them. Wu Kang knew that there must be something wrong with Jingzong, but Erya opened his mouth and had to follow in. No matter what bad water there is, as long as I can help, I'll do my best.

The two went in together, the store was very large, the decoration was magnificent, and the cabinet was full of calligraphy and paintings. Appreciating aimlessly, I came to the Mobao area, and the doctor introduced it attentively. Jingzong's eyes rolled, and his fingers were the most conspicuous, and he said, "You want this, are you satisfied?" ”

Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, looked over with his hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly. The doctor nodded and pat Jingzong's fart: "The father-in-law's vision is really good, this is "Duck Head Pill Sticker", Wang Zijing's Mobao." The slave took it off and invited two distinguished guests to enjoy it in the private room upstairs. ”

The doctor carefully took the painting, Jing Zong's smile was weird, and Wu Kang scoffed. I feel very interesting, Wang Xianzhi's "Duck Head Pill Sticker" was collected by Jingzong and sold to Wu Kang at a low price. Because of the abolition of Wang Liwu, Sun Chong, the chief of Wukang's calculations, relied on this authentic painting to deceive him.

used Erxian's ventriloquism, imitated his voice, and scolded the British Gong Li Tao. Li Jingye jumped like thunder and beat the drunken eldest Sun Chong, and the two families formed a grudge. In order to protect future generations, Li Tao supported the abolition of Wang Liwu. Mei Niang got the top position and was able to be the mother of the world, all because of Li Tao's recruitment.

Therefore, there is no doubt that "Duck Head Pill Sticker" should stay in the eldest grandson's house. Later, Wuji fell and was forced to die in Qianzhou, and the eldest grandson rushed to Lingnan. The three generations of the eldest grandson's family all stayed in Chang'an and still hold this authentic work.

In the Longshuo period, Li Jiu's conscience found that he was kind to the three generations of the eldest grandson's family. Among them, the most representative is the grandson of Brother Wuji, who seems to be called Changsun Yan. His father is the eldest grandson Chong, who is still in Lingnan at the moment, and his mother is even more amazing, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, Li Jiu's sister.

If it is not bad as expected, this "Duck Head Pill Sticker" should belong to the eldest grandson. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and he should have no worries about food and clothing, so as not to sell his ancestral property. The appearance of the real work in the store, what exactly it represents, is quite intriguing.

The two came to the private room, and the doctor spread out the notebook and respectfully bowed and took his leave. There were footsteps in the corridor, and there was a breath outside the door, and the servants brought by Jing Zong had already completed their vigilance. Wu Kang smiled dumbly, put Erya on his lap, and waited for the opposite side to make a move.

Jing Zong smiled without saying a word, carefully rolled up the original handwriting, and put it into a strip-shaped brocade box. Pushed to Wu Kang, he said: "In February this year, Liu Xiangdao, the chief prosecutor, concurrently served as the right minister of the school. The former right minister Li Yifu, the head of the Yin Wangfu, the same as the east and west Taiwan three products. Your greatest strength, political acumen, do you have any thoughts on this? ”

King Yin is Li Xulun, Mei Niang's youngest son, and the little guy is very favored. The history of the prince's mansion, the official rank is from the fourth grade, and the left phase is the third grade. In this way, it has been downgraded four levels in a row, and the political signal is obvious, and the human cat Li Yifu is losing his holy family.

Wu Kang remained silent, and Jingzong continued: "Not long after the change crossed the sea, the human cat went to the sage and asked to rebury his grandfather on the side of Yongkang Mausoleum. When the sage approved the performance, he personally came forward, and the people were full of grievances, and he wanted to know? ”

The so-called Yongkang Tomb is the cemetery of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the grandfather of Gaozu Li Yuan. Li Jiu was able to approve, which shows that he is favored. As Jingzong narrated, Wu Kang smiled, and people and cats were too capable of death.

The seven county orders personally went out to recruit the people of the seven counties and transport soil to repair the tombs day and night. Among them, Gaoling County Commander, who was too old to work hard, was tired to death on the way. When it was time to be buried, people and cats moved the crowd, and on the seventy-mile road, the flow of people was endless.

The princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty vied with each other to present the funeral, and I am afraid that the prince's funeral was not so grand. Yesterday, I heard Xiaoqing say that on the day of the funeral, he sent someone to send a piece of money, which was full of twenty taels of silver. With such a large amount of money, people and cats disdain it, it is estimated that it is too little.

In the first month of this year, the old mother of Yifu died of illness, and Xiaoqing sent fifty taels, but she still couldn't look at it. That's 50 yuan, enough for a family of five to save money for 50 years. You're too greedy, I'm a poor bastard, and I can't afford to pay for it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile: "These are nothing, with our status, we will not fall if we bend the law for bribes alone." Political attacks by colleagues, and the attitude of the saints who like and dislike, are the most important. I said, old Xu Tou, don't make a fuss, it is an open secret that Li Yifu can create evil. ”

This is true, the lovely Li Yifu has long been full of evil. He was appointed as the chief of the office, presided over the election affairs, and took advantage of his position to sell his official beard on a large scale. The so-called selection refers to the system of electing officials, and officials above the fifth rank are personally appointed by the emperor.

Those below the sixth grade, except for the staff wailang, the imperial history, and the worship officer. Civil officials shall be examined by the Ministry of Officials, and military attachés shall be examined in accordance with regulations, and shall be awarded official posts after passing the examination. Li Yifu's regulations say that whoever gives more money will give it to whoever is official.

He was not greedy enough, and he also interfered with the military attaché, and once sent someone to find Wu Kang and sell Fengchenwei's officials. He is narrow-minded, Liu Renliang offended him, and it was not enough to be dismissed, and he had to be killed. Liu Renyuan was willing to town Baekje, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, but because he did not kill Liu Renliang, he was framed by his slander.

The crime is ridiculous, supporting the army to divide Baekje, intending to commit treason and stand on its own. It is estimated that Li Jiu has disliked Liu Renyuan in his heart, and the promotion of General Zuo Fengchen is the best proof. Because Feng Chenwei on the left and right is just the emperor's bodyguard, he is not far away from the Zhichong Mansion.

Suddenly, I heard a soft yawn and found that the second girl was sleepy. At this time, it was inconvenient to say goodbye, so he raised his legs and hugged the gentle princess. The cloak was pulled to the front, covered her daughter, and carefully coaxed: "Erya squint for a while, I'll finish chatting with Xu Daweng, let's go home and sleep." ”

Erya closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and Wu Kang lowered his voice: "The saint's ears and eyes are everywhere, and he knows all the sins committed by people and cats. But he misses the old love very much, and when Wang Liwu was abolished, the people and cats contributed a lot. Therefore, the saint protected him, and the imperial history repeatedly impeached, not only could not bring him down, but caused trouble. ”

Jingzong looked at Erya and tried his best to lower his voice: "When human affection is finally exhausted, many injustices will kill you, and your merits will not be guaranteed for life, and Li Yifu's qi is exhausted." Listen to me, and you will understand the purpose of today's meeting. ”

Wu Kang listened attentively, the more he listened, the bigger his eyes became, and the more he smiled, the stronger his smile became. Before Li Jiu went to the Wannian Palace, he had a heart-to-heart talk with the Yifu and said something like this: Mrs. Qing's son-in-law is quite careless and does many illegal things. I am still covering up for Qing, and Qing should quit and change it.

Probably means, I know all about you selling official beards. It's just a matter of remembering the old feelings, giving you cover, and mending your ways. This is a wake-up call, an ultimatum, if I am righteous, I will kneel down and confess. Pray for Li Jiu's forgiveness, and at the same time dissect his mind and express his change of heart.

Li Yifu was not like this, he actually changed color, his neck and face were red, and he asked angrily: Who told Your Majesty. Wu Kang couldn't help but smile, and on the way to death, he went farther and farther. Li Jiu didn't want to mess with him, otherwise he wouldn't have given an ultimatum, but he offered God to assist.

It's still the same sentence, I don't care if you make mistakes, I'm afraid that you will be disobedient. At this time, Li Yifu did not think that he was at fault, and thought that it was impeachment by his colleagues. The former prime minister Xu Yushi, in the face of the emperor's accusations, also chose to defend. touched the nerve of power, not only did he dismiss the prime minister, degraded the history of assassination, but also affected Yang De.

Li Jiu had a fire in his heart, and replied to him like this: What I said is the truth, you just know it, and you don't need to ask where you know it. The human cat ate the soft nails, and did not bow his head to apologize, but turned away. With such an attitude, anyone will be angry, let alone the emperor?

So it didn't take long for the right prime minister of Xitai to be dismissed, and he was appointed as the head of the pro-guard mansion, and he still served as the prime minister. Wu Kang slowly raised his head, saw his weird smile, and suddenly thought of something. Jingzong Sheng's family is long, Li Jiuxing Wannian Palace, will definitely take him.

In the past, Chunmingmen was a prisoner, and he and Shangguan Yi presided over it. Afterwards, Shangguanyi left and went to Wannian Palace to accompany him, but he stayed in Chang'an, which was very unscientific. The brain was spinning rapidly, and soon I was confident, and the development of things became more and more interesting.

I remember when I was in high school, my early love was reported and I was placed on probation. If you behave well, then the past is not to blame, and if you do not repent, the old and the new will be counted together. The current Li Yifu is on probation, and the person in charge of supervision is Xu Jingzong.

As the saying goes, dogs can't change their, Wu Kang smiled dumbly: "People and cats look for the eldest grandson, promise an official position, and collect a certain amount of money." The eldest grandson Yan was walking on thin ice, and he didn't dare to expect to be an official, let alone offend him. In the face of extortion, selling "Duck Head Pill Stickers" is very pitiful. ”

looked directly at Xu Jingzong, and said with convincing words: "You and I know that a little fight will not endanger Li Mao, and neither can the eldest grandson Yan." I just don't understand, you two have a good relationship, why did you fall into the ground? Could it be that the cat moved your rice cakes? ”

Jingzong was stunned for a moment, his smile suddenly became obscene, and he gave a thumbs up: "Everyone calls you a poisonous snake, but in fact, in my opinion, it is a poisonous snake that has become a spirit." Fortunately, the two of us are friends who have forgotten the year, and if it is a political enemy, I will not be able to sleep well. ”

This sycophant is flattered, Wu Kang hehe. Jingzong twisted his long hair in his hand, lowered his voice and said, "Right Si Lang Li Jin, the son-in-law of Li Yifu, go to visit the eldest grandson Yan." The price is 700 yuan, and he sells him to the Jinjian, and Li Mao is too much. ”

The so-called Sijin Supervisor is the messenger of the capital water, and the name was changed by the capital water supervisor. Responsible for water conservancy and irrigation, mainly governing the Yellow River, and the official level is on the fifth grade. It is also a fat difference, the Yellow River does not break the embankment, the official position is not in danger, and the wealth is rolling in.

Jingzong scoffed: "Originally, it was good, your second brother Xu Yu was appointed as the supervisor of Sijin." Li Mao is treacherous and wants to sell to the eldest grandson. My friendship with him is not worth 700 yuan, and the old man has nothing to say, so he can only do business. ”

Wu Kang shook his head, expressing his lack of interest, and Xu Jingzong also hehe: "You must participate in this matter, otherwise what awaits you will be endless bad luck..."
