In the sixth year of Yonghui, September 13, the fourth quarter of the unitary hour.

Chang'an City opens far away, in the southwest corner of Puning Fang, there is a luxury villa, which is Li Tao's mansion. The vermilion gate is closed, the golden door nails are dazzling, and the tall stone lion is mighty. Opposite the gate is the square wall, and there is a big man with the iron tower on the side of the wall, which is Wukang who eats the closed door.

It was very sad to get up, the Chongyang plan was very successful, and Li Jingye beat Changsun Chong. Li Jiu chose to settle the matter and adopted Yu Zhining's suggestion, and the punishment result was very funny: Li Jingye thought about it behind closed doors for half a year, suspended the secretary and supervisor of Changsun Chong, and thought about it behind closed doors for three months.

The perpetrator took it lightly, and the person who beat the soy sauce was punished heavily, and Wu Kang was fined for half a year. The reason is bizarre, it failed to prevent the conflict, and the malfeasance was serious. Half a year of three positions, the loss of 500 copper coins, this old man is not kind, obviously bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

Since the tenth day of September, he has asked to see Li Tao six times, and he has been closed six times. The reason is also very strange, the big guy is unwell, and Sikong Mansion is closed. Very annoying and helpless, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, except for His Majesty Li Jiu, he can refuse to see anyone.

At this moment, the corner door opened, and he poked his head out, looking curiously. Wu Kang wanted to smile, but he felt that he was still over, the smile on this face was more ugly than crying, don't frighten Lori. According to the records of "Family Members of Celebrities in the Prosperous Age", she is Li Zhen's daughter and Li Jingye's sister-in-law.

The name of the girl is unknown, the milk name is Yuan Niang, and she should be five years old this year. She poked her head out, came over with her heart, and circled around twice. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he showed his cute tiger teeth: "You are a martial cat, right?" Listen to Cui Erniang, during the rat plague in Wuzhou, you learned a few cat meows to scare away 10,000 mice. ”

Wu Kang was a little confused, learn cat meow together, meow meow together? coughed dryly twice, and said, "Don't call me Wu Mao, please call me Wu Hu." In addition, I would like to give you a piece of advice, Cui Erniang is not kind, fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriend prevention. ”

Yuan Niang was also stunned, her eyes rolled, and she giggled. opened the purse on his waist and took out half a rice cake: "I took it quietly, eat it and leave, grandfather doesn't want to see you." He and his second uncle just now will never let you enter the door, and no one will be allowed to pay attention to you. ”

Stretched out his hand to take the rice cake, smiled and thanked him, and did not eat any rice today. The old fox Li Tao was resolute and let me retreat from the difficulty, it was not so cheap. Eating sweet rice cakes, recalling the Who's Who in the Prosperous Age, the second uncle in her mouth should be Li Siwen.

gradually pulled out the banter, Siwen is very interesting, he can be called Wu Siwen. In the first year of the Emperor, Li Jingye rebelled in Yangzhou and attacked Runzhou. Li Siwen was the assassin of Runzhou at the time, and he defended Runzhou City, and the city was broken due to exhaustion.

Before Li Jingye's rebellion, he had already seen the opportunity and had already reported to the imperial court. His subordinates suggested that he be beheaded, but Li Jingye disagreed, and said to Li Siwen: Uncle A attached to the Wu family, and the surname should be changed to Wu. Later, the rebellion was quelled, Mei Niang and Li Siwen, you were expelled from the clan by your nephew, so take my surname Wu.

Lao Li's family was surprisingly wonderful, Wu Kang was happy again, and suddenly sighed. I was so focused that I didn't know that after eating the rice cake, I bit my finger. Yuan Niang smiled and bent over, it was easy to stop laughing, and blinked: "After eating the rice cake, let's go quickly." ”

This really can't go, the key to abolishing Wang Liwu is your grandfather. Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, etc., are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals; The oldest and most vocal are Brother Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and your grandfather.

The first two resolutely resisted and stayed out of the matter. Li Jiu had the support of Li Tao, so he dared to close the Longmen valve with hard steel. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he said, "I ate rice cakes, but I didn't promise to leave." Go back and tell Li Sikong that I am on a par with him, and if he doesn't see me, I won't leave. ”

"You... I hate you, ignore you, and I won't give you anything to eat", he snorted exaggeratedly and left in a huff. Ran to the door and turned back, pinched his waist and raised his foot, and kicked his leg hard. Then with an oops, he squatted down and kneaded the embroidered shoes, and left again in a huff.

Wu Kang is very helpless, this is also a hot girl, quite cute. Looking up at the gloomy sky, the brain quickly emptied, since the cruel words were released, bear it hard. I don't know how long it took, I was awakened by the slightest coldness and saw snowflakes.

It shouldn't snow in September, this is Chang'an, Shaanxi, not the three northeastern provinces. As time passed, the sky darkened, and the snowflakes became denser. The first snow in the sixth year of Yonghui came earlier than usual, which is not a good sign...

In the backyard of Sikong Mansion, Yuan Niang pouted, looking at the snow in a daze. Holding the big white cat, gently stroked the cat's head, and occasionally hummed twice. I feel warm on my body, and listen to the warm words behind me: It's very cold when it's snowing, so my sister hurries into the house and beware of catching a cold.

Touching the big on his shoulder, he suddenly thought of something, and the white cat stuffed it to Li Jingye, and ran to the front yard. Li Jingye sighed twice, stared at the snow footprints, and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Following the footprints, I found her lying on the door, looking out through the crack in the door.

Walking over with the cat in her arms, the sister suddenly turned around, grabbed the white cat in her arms, cursed fiercely, and ran past him. Li Jingye was in a fog, which nasty ghost froze to death, and which one was the martial cat. Quite a little crying and laughing, walked into the gatehouse, through the crack in the door, suddenly heard the majestic cough.

The scalp was numb, and he quickly turned around to salute, like a grandson: "Please grandfather Mingjian, grandson is not running away, but Yuan Niang is weird, grandson wants to see what is going on... The grandson knew that he was wrong, and asked his grandfather to punish him. ”

Li Tao hummed and said lightly: "From today onwards, during the confinement period, you are not allowed to leave the study for half a step." Calm down, read well, and copy the Analects and the Mean ten times each. Check it out in three days and go back to your room. ”

Li Jingye was like being amnestied, bowed again, and ran to the study. Li Tao glanced at the gate and reached out to catch the snowflakes, his face full of disdain and disdain. Turning around and walking to the living room, the old man wanted to see how long the rabbit cub could survive.

Time passed minute by second, and gradually entered the two watches, Yuan Niang wrapped in a wool quilt, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. There was so much snow outside, and I listened to the maid just now, and it was all up to my ankles. On such a cold day, that nasty person must have gone home. Hugging the sleeping white cat and listening to the rhythm of purring, it is much better than the martial cat.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by a maidservant and went to greet his grandmother. After washing, he put on a big hat, and many servants along the way cleared the snow in the courtyard. It snowed heavily all night, and the thickness of both sides of the aisle was submerged.

When he came to his grandmother's bedroom, he asked for peace in a good way, and Wang rolled his eyes. Yuan Niang grinned, hugged her thighs and coquettishly, wanting to see the treasure mirror. Wang rolled his eyes again, the five-year-old yellow-haired girl was stinky and beautiful in the mirror every day.

Instructed the maid to take it, and Ai Pian hugged her granddaughter: "The crystal mirror is a treasure, it was originally the history of Wuzhou Thorn, dedicated to Wu Zhaoyi." By mistake, it was bought by your eldest brother, and the saint was extra kind and gave it to your grandfather. When Yun Niang comes out of the pavilion, my grandmother will give it to you and give you a dowry... Eh, you kid. ”

What are you running well, and you almost slipped in the snow, a reckless wild girl. Wang smiled bitterly, I must talk to my husband, if I continue to be spoiled like this, my granddaughter will not be able to get married. Give the left and right a look, the three maids and the two mothers-in-law, go out to serve.

In the front yard of Sikong Mansion, the old housekeeper commanded the servants to shovel snow and clear the aisle. From the living room to the door, there is still a distance of Zhang Xu, Yuan Niang couldn't wait, and instructed the old housekeeper: "Open the corner door immediately and see if there is anyone outside." ”

The housekeeper promised, raised his feet and stepped on the snow, but the snow surface was knee-free. The servants came and quickly cleared the snow and sprinkled it with wood chips. The housekeeper opened the corner door, suddenly screamed, and squatted on the ground: that person hasn't left yet, frozen into a snowman...

Yuan Niang ran to the door, and was stunned for a moment, yesterday in that position, a tall snowman appeared. After a long time, he came back to his senses, ran to the main house again, and shouted when he entered the door: "That fool didn't leave, he stood outside the door for a night, and became a snowman... Grandchildren see grandfathers. ”

Li Tao waved his hand, motioned for the servant to leave, and pondered for a moment: "He is the assassin of Wuzhou, concurrently serving as the governor of Yuezhou, and the general of the right military guard of the school." is a third-grade court official, and he also respects the old man, and Yuan Niang must not be rude. Tell grandfather, how did you know him? ”

Yuan Niang nodded obediently, retracted into Wang's arms, and chirped: "Yesterday gave him rice cakes and asked him to leave quickly after eating, but he was a scoundrel." He also raised the bar with his grandfather, and if you don't see him, he won't leave. ”

Wang Shi was dumbfounded, and his face was slightly nervous: "It was so cold last night, I covered a three-layer quilt, and he was frozen outside all night?" Lang Jun go and take a look, he is not only an official of the imperial court, but also Wu Zhaoyi's cousin, and he can't have an accident at our doorstep. ”

is such a stubborn offspring, Li Tao is a little entangled. After a quarter of an hour of silence, he sighed helplessly, got up and left the main house, and ordered the study to be cleaned up. Wu Zhaoyi's two brothers, as well as two cousins, are all shrunken turtles, what are you doing?

When I saw the big snowman, I was really shocked, and I shook my head slightly. Covering his mouth and coughing twice, he instructed the onlookers to say: "Dust off the snow on your body, if you are alive, carry it in and pack it up, and send it to the study; If you die, take it to Yongxing Fangwu..."

Before the words fell, the mutation was rampant, the snowman's arm moved, and the snow fell. Wu Kang's face was pale, his lips were blue, and his eyes were blood-red. Shake your head hard, and snowflakes fly around. He stumbled slightly, stiffened his legs, and barely stabilized his body.

The servants came running and cleared the snow from their bodies; The maidservant brought hot water and handed a large bowl of hot tea. Wu Kang thanked him, took the tea bowl, and drank it all in spite of the hot stuff. The throat is numb and unconscious, and the warmth flows into the abdomen, and the whole body is comfortable.

Li Tao sighed lightly, he is such a persistent madman, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal. Dare to charge, dare to enter the plague area, dare to volcano to save people. If Zhen'er and Siwen have three points of ability and three points of courage from him, they will be at peace with their old arms.

Turning away, I went to the study and waited for the negotiations. In less than half an hour, I heard a knock at the door, and the butler brought someone in. After greeting and saluting, the guests and hosts sat down, and Li Tao squinted: "Letting you enter the door does not mean that the old man supports the abolition of Wang Liwu." ”

Wu Kang knew that the old fox was very bad, he didn't see rabbits, and he wouldn't scatter eagles. Too lazy to talk nonsense, put the rabbit first, open the counting bag, and take out the book. Put it on the desk, slowly push it out, look at the nose, look at the nose, look at the heart, and wait for the old fox to take the bait.

Li Tao's eyes swept over, the red sorghum recipe and brewing, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a shallow smile, what a big stroke. Sorghum wine, sorghum brewing, sorghum is a coarse grain, and there are few growers. Since two and a half years ago, the Lujia Distillery settled in Chang'an, and sorghum wine was born.

The cost is cheap, the taste is sweet, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous. As a result, the people outside the city are all planted with sorghum in inferior fields, which are still in short supply. It is Wu Zhaoyi's industry, and it is also a good deed, and the reduction of corn consumption is supported by the imperial court. Today, it is popularized throughout Guanzhong, and it can be called a daily gold.

Wu Kang smiled and said chiseledly: "Sikong is erudite and talented, and he knows that it is better to give him a fish than to give him a fish." Zhaoyi and the Lu family own wine stocks, but there is no secret recipe. Xiaguan doesn't beat around the bush, as long as you support the abolition of Wang Liwu, the secret recipe is the Li family. ”

Li Tao was disdainful, and said with a smile: "The old man knows that he is given to fish, and he also knows that he is guilty, and you have bad intentions in this future life." How much power, how much interest to protect, although the secret recipe is good, it is not what the old man wants, please take it back from the governor of Wudu. ”

It's a bit interesting, Wu Kang did as he was told, and stuffed the book into his counting bag. Take out the bag, unfold the paper, and push it over again, it is a three-percent share. Leave a bag for Mei Niang before, and let her take out the shares in it when she needs it the most, and bribe Li Tao's boss.

But she misunderstood, and understood the time when she needed it most as a matter of life and death. Thinking of this, he was speechless, and looked up at Li Tao: "The secret recipe and thirty percent of the share will be submitted to the sage; Thirty percent is in the hands of Zhaoyi, and one percent is in the hands of the Lu family. Again, as long as you support it, it's yours. ”

Li Tao didn't answer, Wu Kang was not in a hurry, and began to flicker: "Thirty percent of sorghum wine stocks are extra gifts, and it's normal to look down on them." I have a story that really happened last year, and it feels a little interesting, how about I hear it to you? ”

Without waiting for him to express his position, Wu Kang said to himself: "I have a subordinate named Qian Shun, who ran out of grain before the harvest last autumn, and the five people had no rice to cook. He had three uncles, all of whom were well-off, so he went to them to borrow food. When the uncle found out, he immediately sent a bunch of rice, which was enough to eat until the autumn harvest. ”

put down the teacup, and then flickered: "Three days later, the second uncle sent Shihu, and the third uncle watched coldly. After Qian Shun finished harvesting the autumn, he returned it to his uncle and second uncle, each with eleven hundreds. I was very puzzled at the time, my uncle borrowed one, and you paid back ten more; The second uncle borrowed ten hundreds, and you only paid one more. Dare to ask Sikong, do you know why? ”

Li Tao tasted tea leisurely, didn't mean to speak, Wu Kang laughed: "Qian Shun and I, uncle sent charcoal in the snow, I am grateful, and I will return it tenfold; The second uncle sent ten times, but it was the icing on the cake, so he only paid one more. ”

The meaning is obvious, it is you four big men who can abolish Wang Liwu. Brother Wuji and Chu Suiliang objected, and you and Yu Zhining were silent. The first supporter is the uncle who sent charcoal in the snow, and the investment benefit is high; The rest of the supporters are the second uncle who is the icing on the cake, and the investment has benefited greatly.

Five minutes later, he continued to make a fierce announcement: "In June this year, the summer harvest in Wuzhou, the people are happy. Qian Shun's third uncle, however, was very happy and sad, and when he burned the straw, he set fire to the rice field. I asked my nephew to borrow grain, but I ate it behind closed doors, and my nephew didn't borrow rice. Even the eldest uncle and the second uncle did not lend food to the third uncle, **naked revenge. ”

The implication: The husband still takes revenge, let alone the son of heaven? Those who are resolutely opposed will be punished; Those who sit idly by will also be retaliated. If you want to be comfortable, you must send charcoal in the snow, and be the first to support the abolition of Wang Liwu.

Wu Kang's smile was even stronger, Mei Niang's heart, Lao Yu, who stayed out of the matter, was really retaliated against in the near future. was framed by Xu Jingzong and demoted to the history of the Rongzhou assassin, and it was not until his death that he was transferred to the history of the Huazhou assassin.

Li Tao was indifferent, still did not express his opinion, Wu Kang was very impatient, and directly threw the killer weapon: "Sikong should remember that at the beginning of the fourth year of Yonghui, Princess Gaoyang plotted against him. According to Li Ke, the king of Wu, he was framed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and finally died unjustly. ”

looked directly at the old fox and said chisely: "Taizong dislikes His Majesty's weakness and wants to make King Wu the crown prince, but he is opposed by the eldest grandson Wuji, so he can't do it." Later, Taizong summoned King Wu and took Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty as an example to warn King Wu to keep to himself. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know the content, so he chased after the wind and shadows, thinking that Taizong borrowed King Wu to restrict his rights. ”

Li Tao's pupils shrank, it was a secret matter of the palace, how did he know?

Wu Kang sneered and continued: "Since then, he has hated King Wu to the bone and tried to punish him. The rebellion of Fang Yi's love is a godsend. During the interrogation of Fang's bereavement, he told about Su Gan Chengji, intending to implicate King Wu. ”

That Su Gan Chengji was Li Chengqian's dead soldier, reported Li Chengqian's rebellion, and was rewarded for his meritorious service: he was named the commander of Youchuan Mansion and the Duke of Pingjian County. The tendon of Fang Yiai, following the example of Su Gan Chengji, framed Li Ke, the king of Wu. not only killed Li Ke, but was also beheaded.

Wu Kang continued: "Your Majesty has a good temperament and wants to pardon King Wu's capital crime, but the eldest grandson Wuji will not agree. Cui Dunli, the secretary of the military department, took Zhou Gong's punishment of Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai, the rebellion of Emperor Jing Ping, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, King Yan of the Han Dynasty, and Princess Gai Chang as examples, and strongly demanded the execution of King Wu. ”

Hearing this, Li Tao was slightly moved, thinking that before King Wu died, he angrily scolded the eldest grandson Wuji for taking power. The curse is vivid, if the ancestral temple has a spirit, the eldest grandson's family is not far from destruction.

finally had the effect of the show, Wu Kang made persistent efforts: "You have worked with him for the longest time, understand his temperament, he is narrow-minded and will be repaid." On the day of Chongyang, the eldest grandson Chong lost his words after drinking and was beaten by Li Jingye. Your Majesty personally reconciles and reconciles the two of you, can you really reconcile? I'm afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji already holds a grudge, and King Wu dares to frame him, what kind of thing is Li Jingye? ”

"Presumptuous", Li Tao was angry and murderous. The triangular eyes glowed green, staring at Wu Kang and sneering: "What if you hold a grudge, is being an old man a waste?" As long as the old man is in the court for a day, he will not dare to be presumptuous. ”

Wu Kang experienced the sea of corpses and blood, so he was naturally not afraid, and said lightly: "I believe this, if you are alive, the Li family will be safe." It's a pity that you are the same age as him, and your body is very strong, so you can't tell who will die first. If you die in front of him, then your family will be like King Wu and like Fang Xuanling, and they will be wiped out by the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

The murderous aura was even stronger, and Wu Kang was calm: "You and the eldest grandson Wuji, whoever survives first is really not good." You are an old fox, and you know that the safest way to protect your family is to kill the eldest grandson Wuji before you die. ”

A cold light flashed, and the three-foot green blade came out of the sheath and went straight to the forehead. The eyebrows were slightly cold, the sword paused, and a sneer began: "The old man has long suspected that you carefully planned the beating of Changsun Chong by dedication. You'd better be honest, don't think that if Wu Zhaoyi supports you, the old man won't dare to kill you. ”

The warmth rushed through the bridge of his nose, stretched out his right hand to wipe it, saw that his fingers were red, and licked it clean in his mouth. looked directly at Li Tao and said lightly: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Li Jingye did beat Changsun Chong." Even if you kill me, or report it to Your Majesty, you won't be able to change the facts. ”

Wu Kang was very happy, and he bewitched: "If you kill the eldest grandson Wuji, you will bring down the Guanlongmen valve; Knock down the Guanlongmen valve, and you will form an alliance with Your Majesty. The abolition of Wang Liwu was a heaven-given opportunity, and it was the first decisive battle with the Guanlongmen valve. I really want to know, what will Li Gong, who is covered in the blood of thieves and only follows the strong, choose? ”
