In the second year of Lin De (665 AD), on the eighth day of the sixth month of summer, it was a dog day.

When the time entered June, Wu Kang began to be busy, almost inextricably linked, and it was all confusing. Since the feudal society, there have been only three emperors who have sealed Mount Tai, Qin Emperor Han Wu Guangwu. Li Zhi wants to be on a par with it, not to mention the martial arts, the style must be crushed.

At the fifth day of June, officials above the fourth grade discussed the ceremony and decided to hold a special event. All the official offices of the South Ya, the forbidden army of Yulin in the north, and the ten guards of the prince of the East Palace. The civil and military officials of the imperial court, the magistrates of the prefectures and counties, all the internal and external women. The envoys from the south and the north of the world, and all kinds of personal guards and honor guards, all participated in the sealing of Zen.

There are tens of thousands of personnel, and Wu Kang preliminarily estimates that the long queue will spread for hundreds of miles. Zhuwei Qinxunyi Mansion, Guannai Dao Zhichong Mansion, responsible for security work. Li Zhi once again cheated on his father and assigned six people to be in charge, and he was one of them.

Every day, with the rest of the five generals, the route charter was formulated. Wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat less than cats, and run slower than pigs. How tired I was, I went home and fell asleep, and I didn't bother to eat dinner. How busy is it, Princess Taiping was born, and she only took the time to look at it twice.

When the little princess was born, he was not very excited, only full of shock. Once in her last life, her best friend Li Lingyue patted her chest and swore by it. affirmed that Princess Taiping's birthday was June of the second year of Lin De, and it was four o'clock in the sun.

Later calendar conversion, 665 A.D., the 15th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, 11 o'clock at noon. The place of birth of the princess, Ziwei City of Luoyang Palace, Zhenguan Hall of the Inner Sleeping Palace. It's really a hell, no matter the time and place, all of them are said by her, and she is really a goddess.

Wu Kang, as an uncle, asked Xiaoqing to visit according to court etiquette. The meeting gift was sent to the past, and I made it myself, all kinds of children's toys. Such as building block puzzles, wood carving tanks, airplanes, and two large boxes. provoked Li Jiu's contempt, all of them add up, no more than two pieces of money, why are you so picky?

You know a fart, send goose feathers thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light and affectionate. Wu Kang scoffed, you have no eyes, and the gift is very expensive. Take the puzzle as an example, the landscape map above is out of the hand of Yan Liben, and the pen fee is forty times.

The above two poems are written by Yang Jiong and Wang Bo, and the two heroes of the early Tang Dynasty inscribed each other, and they cost forty times. Carved by my own hands, Si Jiaqing Liang Xiaoren, personally came to guide, and the guidance fee was 20 times. If you are too lazy to bother with your lips and tongue, your yin and yang are weird, and Nai Weng ignores it.

Mei Niang likes it very much, the gifts are beautifully made, and she especially loves puzzles. Not only is it ingenious, but it also develops intelligence. Later, I got the news that the landscape poetry puzzle was embezzled by Li Zhi, saying that it was to pass the time. This person who kills a thousand knives and robs his daughter's toys, doesn't he want his face?

On the 19th of July in the autumn, the seventeenth son of Li Yuan, the governor of Yanzhou, Deng Wang, and Yuan Yuxu took office. Wu Kang has also seen him, it seems that he is in the year of Yonghui, in Dengzhou City, Yuxian County. The reason is a bit funny, in order to beat Lu Zhaolin, he is the palace pawn.

Li Zhi felt a little sad and sent Wukang to Dengzhou to posthumously present Yuanyu with a watch. Give a product of Situ, the governor of Yizhou, Xu to accompany the funeral and offer the tomb, and give the name Kang. The so-called dedication mausoleum is Li Yuan's mausoleum, he is Li Yuan's heir, and he is naturally buried in it.

When I saw Lu Zhaolin again, a thirty-year-old young man, I was quite emotional. The last time the two met, I was the Wuzhou Thorn History, and you were the royal mansion signatory, a petty official from the eighth grade. Eleven years have passed, I am a general, and you are still pawning.

The pawn is a royal official, and King Deng has passed away, and he has lost his job. Yuanyu took care of him very much, and went to the court several times to recommend his neighbor as an official. Li Zhi knew that he was talented and gave a new appointment, the lieutenant of Xindu County, Yizhou. From the county lieutenant of Jiupin, he was demoted, which is really pitiful.

Complete the posthumous mission, return to Luoyang immediately, and sort out the security work. On September 20 in the autumn, Liu Renliang entered the eastern capital and brought envoys from the five countries. Silla and Baekje, Tamna and Wa, and Goguryeo. Goguryeo has the most cards, and the prince Gao Funan came in person to serve Li Zhi Feng Zen.

As expected, Li Zhilongyan was happy, praised the benevolent rail, and gave him an official and a knighthood. From the history of the state of Obifang, he was promoted to the great priest, which is the imperial doctor. At the same time, he is also the governor and can participate in the government affairs, which is the temporary prime minister.

Rocket-like promotion, really envious of others, this is out of the picture. Tian Shenu Liu Renyuan, if you listen to me, you will be promoted. He has respect and compassion for Liu Renliang before he had a relationship. In the past, when I was victimized, I also felt sorry, but later I had a deep friendship, and it was difficult to rise to a good feeling.

He is too good at drilling, he is extremely hypocritical, and he is a typical politician. On the second day of the first month of October, I talked with Yuan Yishi and got strange news, so I was even more disdainful. In the past, the eastern expedition to Baekje, the Ren Rail was the history of Qingzhou Thorn, and the inspection school ferry sea grain. Unfortunately, there was a storm, and many grain ships were lost, and Ding Fu drowned.

After a thorough investigation, the imperial court supervised the imperial history Yuan and went to Qingzhou for interrogation. Li Yifu found a different style, let him go to Qingzhou, and forced Liu Renliang to commit suicide. Ren Liang didn't want to commit suicide, so he fought for it on the basis of reason, which was quite righteous and awe-inspiring.

He returned to Beijing in a different way to restore his life, and in order to prevent him from escaping, he was chained with iron chains. Later, Lee Ji Kai En, Ren Rail hid in Baekje, and began to work hard. finally survived, was promoted to the chief priest, and became the head of the imperial history. Poor Yuan Yishi, who is still supervising the imperial history, has become his subordinate.

Because of that old grudge, I was worried about the communiqué and personal vendetta, and I couldn't live in fear. The funny thing is here, on the day of Ren Rail's entry, he found Yuan Yishi. poured the wine on the ground and swore that I had never cared about the previous unpleasantness, and if I declared a personal vendetta, it would be like spilling this wine on the ground.

Probably speaking, the past will not be investigated, and the future will be sincerely cooperated. Strange Cheng Cheng was terrified, found Wu Kang to mediate, and prepared to hold a banquet to invite the guilt. Before the banquet was ready, Ren Rail was a demon again, and he actually recommended Yuan Yishi to serve the imperial history in the palace.

There are three kinds of imperial history, the highest level of imperial history, responsible for correcting hundreds of officials. The imperial history in the palace is secondary, in charge of the palace ceremonies, picketing illegal ceremonial guards. Supervising the imperial history is the hardest, responsible for local states and counties, and traveling every three or five times. The task sent by the imperial court, if they are far away in Lingnan, can make them cry.

Therefore, this move of benevolence is to repay grievances with virtue, and Wu Kangle made a pig voice. What a hypocrite, this political show is appreciative. As the saying goes, those who declare personal enemies are despicable villains. Those who repay grievances with virtue are not in accordance with common sense, and there will be deception in their hearts.

The great Mr. Confucius also disagrees with repaying grievances with virtue. Could it be that you Liu Renliang are more noble than Kongqiu, what are you kidding? I didn't bother to ask again, and warned Yuan Yishi, don't hold a banquet, hurry up. Find a relationship immediately and leave the Yushitai, that person is too insidious, you can't fight him.

On October 15 in winter, Mei Niang made a statement: In the old days, when the Zen ceremony was sealed, when the god of the earth was sacrificed, the queen mother accompanied the sacrifice, and the three princes and nine qing were the main sacrifices. The concubine is based on the Zhou etiquette, and it is inappropriate to steal, and there is no difference between men and women. I beg your Majesty's permission to lead the women of the Inner and Outer Orders to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

This was discussed, Li Zhi was true to his word, and soon issued an edict: the earth god of Sheshou Mountain, Empress Wu is Yaxian, as the second echelon. The Yue Kingdom Concubine Yan, as the third echelon, completed the final sacrifice.

This concubine of Yue Kingdom is Concubine Taizong Yande, the mother of Li Zhen, the king of Yue. Concubine Yan De's mother, and Mei Niang's mother, are cousins. Mei Niang and Concubine Yan are cousins, the concubine has a modest personality, and the relationship between the two is good.

In the past, when Mei Niang entered the palace, she was recommended by Concubine Yan, and Wu Kang also respected her. In the future, Li Zhen will fall into the martial arts, and Mei Niang will kill her all over the house, and she will not be implicated in the tomb of Concubine Yan. When Li Jingye rebelled, he not only killed people, but also dug up Li Tao's tomb. In the end, the coffin was whipped and hung at the head of the city to be exposed, which shows that the relatives are sparse.

On October 24, Li Zhi issued an edict again, which probably means that the previous Mount Tai Feng Zen, the altar of the gods of heaven and earth, and the tablet decoration is very shabby. What are the dried wheat straw and the wine scoop made of clay? I wanted to be different, and I used silk and satin, gold and silver flasks, and this custom was followed in the future.

It also issued an edict designating that the suburbs should worship heaven and earth, and the temple should worship ancestors, including palace banquets, each with professional dance music. The cultural dance "Success Celebration and Good Music", and the martial dance "Divine Skill Breaking Chen Music" have become a routine in the future. The so-called Wen Wu Wu takes different things, Wen Na Gu Di chicken feathers, Wu Na shield axe.

On October 26, everything was arranged. Li Zhi was sympathetic to his subordinates, and the officials had a two-day holiday and set off on the 28th. The approximate route is as follows, starting from Luoyang, first going to Diqiu Puyang, passing through Yunzhou, Shandong, arriving at Qizhou, Shandong, and finally at the foot of Mount Tai.

As for the return route, Li Zhi meant that he would talk about it after sealing the Zen. Wu Kang had a rare rest, so he rushed home and helped pack his things. The little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl have a destiny to follow Mei Niang and complete the Asian sacrifice.

The whole family went, all kinds of daily necessities, clothes were entangled, etc., and six carriages were loaded. This time, the team is huge, and it can only stay in the wild, so it must be cautious. The two battalions of Wu and Wu, a total of more than 600 people, also followed the guards.

The excitement was very exciting, and she had long wanted to experience the feeling of living in a tent when her father was marching and fighting. has long been pestered with Qian Shun, weaving small armor, and transforming small bows and knives. The small body wears military uniforms, all kinds of pocket equipment, rides a jujube red pony, and looks heroic.

also made an unreasonable request, and when the holy car set off, he followed his father and guarded the jade chariot together. Wu Kang couldn't cry or laugh, did you go into battle as a father and daughter soldier, this is inherited from your mother. On the other hand, the second girl Xiuniang is still silent, holding a little white rabbit, and can be in a daze all day.

The two sisters are two extremes, which makes him have mixed feelings and sorrows. After lunch, stay in the backyard wing and chat with them. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Shun sent someone to report that the Wu brothers had come to visit and were waiting outside the door.

Wu Kang frowned slightly, the Wu brothers who came here are Huaiyun and Weiliang, the heirs of Wu Shiling. There are four brothers of Samurai Tong, Wu Shiling is the eldest brother, Shi Yi Shi is the second, and Shi Tong is the elder brother. Today, all four brothers are gone.

Huaiyun and Weiliang, Yuan Qing and Yuan Shuang, were framed by the Yang family and demoted from the capital. Huaiyun moved to Zizhou Thorn History, Yuanqing moved to Longzhou Thorn History, Weiliang moved to Shizhou Thorn History, Yuan Shuang moved to Haozhou Thorn History. The worst is Yuanqing, who just arrived in Longzhou and died of depression.

This time, Mount Tai sealed the Zen, more than half of the thorn history, followed the witness ceremony. Haozhou assassin Shi Yuanshuang, who was not named by the emperor, still stayed in office. From this, we can know how disgusted Mrs. Rongguo Yang is. Huai Yun was lucky enough to be allowed to serve in Beijing, which was handpicked by Li Zhi.

Xiaoqing also mentioned that after the brothers entered Beijing, they came to the door five times before and after. It's a pity that Wu Kang is too busy, he goes out early and returns late every day, and he hasn't met. Today happened to be a holiday, and they visited again, but they also persevered.

For the two of them, the impression is not bad, and there is some friendship. The last time I went out to Baekje and gathered the soldiers of Zizhou, I drank wine with Huaiyun. After a meal, he said again and again that he wanted to repair the family relationship with Mrs. Rongguo.

The purpose of this visit should be the same, they want to return to Beijing. Leaving the backyard room, Xiaoqing gently reminded: "Aunt and the queen, they both hate them, don't have too deep relationships." It's better to do this, the husband doesn't come forward, I'll send them. ”

It doesn't seem to be necessary, Mei Niang doesn't bother them, it's just because of the Yang family. went back to the room to tidy up his clothes, and Wen Yan comforted his wife: "I'll go to receive them, don't go, check your luggage well." Don't take care of your daughter, you follow the queen, so many women, you can't be rude. ”

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said it so many times, her ears became calloused. Wu Kang scratched his head in embarrassment, strode to the front yard, saw the two of them outside the door, and laughed: "Brother Lao has been waiting for a long time, Wu Kang is ashamed, hurry up and speak in the living room." ”

The attitude was very attentive, and the brothers were relieved, especially Wu Weiliang, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief greeting, the three of them returned to the living room, and each guest and host sat down. Tell the housekeeper Qian Shun to make the best tea and prepare a few desserts.

Wu Kang is exquisite, he is not half lazy, and the conversation is harmonious. After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them became less reserved and gradually spread out the topic. First of all, when it comes to Wushun, the brothers sighed and sighed, somewhat sad, and more aggrieved. After they entered Beijing, they wanted to pay homage to her, but Yang refused.

There is nothing wronged, Yang is insane, and I can't go to the grave for the two of you. Then talking about Yuanqing, the brothers had red eyes again, and Huaiyun sighed: "Yuanqing is not in good health, Longzhou is located in Shuzhong, and the northerners are not adaptable, so they were not spared in the end." ”

Weiliang took over and said: "After Yuanqing passed away, he left orphans and widows, so he could only stay there. Life is unfamiliar, and there are no pillars, and life is indeed hard. Thanks to Chu Gong, he has funded them for many years, and they barely have no worries about food and clothing. Think twice about that child, don't dare to write to you and ask me to convey my gratitude..."

His desire to speak stopped, Wu Kang knew it, waved his hand and smiled: "Our own brothers, don't see outside, just call me to change." That kid is really stupid, and it is only natural for him to write a letter to his uncle. There are also two brothers, we are on different sides of the world, and we often contact each other if we have something to do, so don't alienate our family. ”

These words were said beautifully, and the two of them looked relaxed and continued to talk politely. Huaiyun put on the gift and began to get to the point: "On the occasion of the Zen ceremony, thanks to the saint's refusal to give up, click on us to accompany the car." Prepare local specialties, which is to change, Zibo top windproof. ”

Without hesitation, Wu Kang took over and thanked him, this is a good thing. Shandong's Chinese medicinal materials are more difficult to find for the treatment of rheumatism and paralysis. The gift given by Weiliang was arrowroot powder from Siju, which was extracted from kudzu. At that time, there was also one in Wuzhou, and Xiaoqing was very fond of it, and she came to eat it every day, saying that it was for beauty and beauty.

After the two gave the gifts, they put on the big gift box, Huaiyun wanted to cry, and his tone was quite sincere: "In the past, he was young and vigorous, and he neglected Mrs. Rongguo, which made the queen disgusted. The foolish brother couldn't regret it, and he hoped to repair the relationship, but he had no choice but to hit a wall everywhere. ”

Wei Liang was heartbroken, and also sighed: "I went to visit Aunt Yang, and I ate closed door soup three times, and the gift to the queen was returned by the prison guard." The chamberlain Li Deguan said that the queen was weak after giving birth, and her diet was specially customized. ”

Huaiyun was very depressed, and saw that Wu Kang was very kind, so he had the courage to confide: "The special products we brought, only two copies were given out, and Mrs. Wei accepted it, and she didn't dislike it." The foolish brother told the truth, and wanted to ask for the mediation of the change and help transfer it to the queen. ”

Wu Kang knew that this was the purpose of the visit, and asked me to be the middleman and get Mei Niang's understanding. It's useless, brothers, it's still the same old saying, Mei Niang doesn't hate you. Those who demean you to go out of Beijing, the initiator of the Yang family, fueled Li Zhi.

And I have a hunch that Li Zhi may not have good intentions when he asked you to come. He spared no effort to suppress his relatives, and I am more bitter than you, walking on thin ice all day long. If you are selected to enter Beijing, you must be holding back the bad water, but I can't guess.

Looking at the gifts on the table, and the earnest eyes, I really couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking about it, he decided to prevaricate first: "Two brothers Mingjian, it's not that I don't help, now is not the time." Sealing Zen is a big event, and no matter the saint or queen, she will be cautious. At this juncture, private matters must be slow. ”

The brothers couldn't hide their disappointment, Wu Kang and Yan Yuese: "The two brothers can rest assured, family blood is thicker than water, how can the queen not know?" She is open-minded and will not anger the Wu family because of the past. It's a pity that I can't help myself, because I can't do it because I treat my mother to filial piety. ”

At this point, both brothers also understand that their disappointment has been reduced a lot. Wu Kang struck while the iron was hot and continued to fool them: "I will look for an opportunity to make it clear to the queen, so don't worry." At the end of the Zen journey, when you return to the Eastern Capital, you can present your gifts again. ”

The disappointment vanished, the excitement took its place, and the brothers got up to thank them. They know that Wu Kang is the queen's confidant. As long as he's willing to help, it's done. They are not demanding, they do not seek to climb the dragon and the phoenix, they just want not to be targeted.

Wu Yuanqing was demoted to death, and Wu Sansi's suffering, they were uneasy. Every day, I am afraid of people coming to the capital, especially the imperial historians, who will bring derogatory documents. Like Chu Suiliang, he was relegated to the extreme south, and innocent guests died in a foreign land.

The three of them sat down again, Huaiyun was deeply touched, and praised sincerely: "What Sansi said is good, and it is a blessing for the martial arts family to value family affection." I'll take the gift back, and when the meditation is over, I'll help with it. At that time, our brothers, personally brought gifts, and went into the palace to thank the queen. ”

Wu Kang said a few polite words, and decisively got to the point: "Brother, don't be polite, we are a family, and we must help each other." Actually, I also have something to do, and I need your help, about Mrs. Wei Guo. She did something wrong, and I listened slowly. ”

The conversation box opened, and his niece Helan hooked up with his uncle Li Zhi. Recently, I heard from the German officer that she has intensified her efforts again, and she was sneaky before, but now she is blatant. Li Zhi was even tempted to make her a concubine, but before the words could be spoken, she was blocked by Mei Niang.

If it doesn't go on like this, the Helan clan is dying, and it will follow in the footsteps of Wushun. After listening to Wu Kang's narration, the brothers were dumbfounded and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. I don't know how long it took, Huaiyun opened his mouth with difficulty, and asked tentatively: "What does it mean, let us brothers, persuade the Helan clan?" ”

Wu Kang nodded lightly: "She has gone mad, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn back, but I don't want to give up." Knowing that it is unlikely, he has to implore his brother to persuade Mrs. Wei Guo as an elder. What she did can be said to have betrayed humanity and brought shame to the samurai. ”

After a long silence, the two brothers confirmed their eyes, and Huaiyun spoke again, slightly lacking in confidence: "We are all foreign ministers, we can't enter and leave the palace, and we need to be helped." When the Zen seal is over and the queen is given a gift, we gently advise. But if it changes, it may not work, don't be too disappointed. ”

Obey the destiny of heaven, there is no need to be disappointed, Wu Kang replied with a smile: "When the holy driver returns to Chang'an, I will thread the needle and arrange for the two brothers to enter the palace to meet the saint." Then find an opportunity to go to the harem to see the queen, and then persuade Mrs. Wei Guo..."
