In the first year of Lin De (664 AD), the eighth day of the seventh month of autumn, the fourth quarter of the hour.

On the first day of the seventh month, Li Zhi issued an edict, and in the first month of the third year of Linde, there was a major event in Daizong. Daizong is Mount Tai, the hundred officials know it, and the major events related to it, only Mount Tai Feng Zen: the mountain builds soil as an altar to sacrifice to the sky, the merit of the sky, so it is said to be sealed. The hill under the mountain is removed from the ground, and the work of repaying the land is called Zen.

So far in feudal society, there have been three emperors who have been enshrined in Zen, the first emperor Yingzheng, the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, and the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. Their martial arts and martial arts can be called feats, and they deserve to be enshrined. Emperor Li Jiu sealed Zen, I am afraid that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Wu Kang thinks that it is barely reasonable.

At the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the summer vacation period ended, and the holy driver left the Wannian Palace. The team marched towards Chang'an City, and arrived in Wannian County three days later. When Li Jiujue was promoted to the king, he had a mansion in this county, and he happened to pass by on the return trip, so he was fortunate to remember the old one.

When the emperor travels, he will give out benefits, and this time is no exception. All prisoners in the county were sentenced to one degree for all their crimes, and the sentence of beheading was reduced to hanging to exile, and so on. On August 14, I returned to the imperial city and stayed directly in Penglai Palace, and everything returned to normal.

On the 15th of August, Wu Kang took the official document and came to the Yulin Camp to join the company. Outside the Xuanwu Gate in the north city, the dense barracks on both sides are the camps of the Yulin Army. The left and right Yulin armies, each with a thousand people, are responsible for the security of the palace. Because it is stationed at the North Gate, it is called the North Gate Forbidden Army, or the North Ya Forbidden Army.

The general of the left Yulin of the inspection school, and the training of the right Yulin are the official positions of Wu Kang, and they must perform their duties. Get started quickly, and after a simple meeting, get to work right away. The work went smoothly, and the left and right Yulin Second Army, from General Lang to Lieutenant, down to ordinary soldiers, all obeyed the command.

If the reason is investigated, his military career has become the biggest help. The shadow of the famous tree of people, the forbidden army knows him, he fought in the east and the west to fight in the north, and fought on the battlefield for seven years. It can not only strategize, but also charge into battle, and make countless achievements.

In the past, Xuzhou spoke of martial arts, and the strongest captain of the forbidden army was easily killed. The soldiers worship the strong, and in their eyes, the head of the sect is the god. Wu Kang thought that it was not enough, and decided to give Ma Wei a dismissive, only when he was completely shocked, he would be obedient.

On the Xuanwumen school field, the guards of the two armies gathered, and General Yulin arrived. Two left Yulin generals: the right Xiaowei general Qi Bi He Li, and the left guard general Zhang Tingshi. Two right Yulin generals: Xue Guogong Ashina Zhong, and right Wuwei general Li Mengwei.

The selection criteria for the forbidden army are, firstly, superb archery, 50 steps away, three arrows hit the bull's-eye, and three arrows hit the target. Secondly, the strength is infinite, requiring five grains on the back, weighing about 500 catties, and walking 30 steps on foot.

Wu Kang performed on the spot, placing an arrow target a hundred steps away, holding a three-stone strong bow, and ten arrows were all red hearts. Then perform mounted archery, which is also a hundred paces away, and all ten arrows hit the target, and they all leaned into the red heart. Scumbags, take a look, this is a hundred steps through the Yang, you can't compare.

Then demonstrate the weight, carry 600 catties of corn, and walk 55 steps. Cruel words on the spot: All the guards on the scene, if there are those who are not convinced, they will be challenged. No matter how heavy the archery is, as long as it is stronger than me, I will resign as an instructor and never enter the Beiya for the rest of my life.

The so-called strength pretending is to easily crush you in the field you are good at. The dismount was very successful, the show worked very well, and the scene was silent. The four Yulin generals, although they all have ghosts, they all recognize their strength.

Wu Kang justifiably took over the training of the forbidden army and became the head of the forbidden army. These big men have never been on the battlefield, and they are all soft-footed girls. But then again, they are a guard of honor, and they give Li Jiu a façade, and they don't need to go to the battlefield.

As a physical education teacher, I am good at formalism, so for the purpose of training, the formation is good-looking. After returning to his old profession, he took physical education classes and followed the military training of later generations. Standing in a military posture and turning left and right, shouting slogans and walking in unison, as long as it is pleasing to the eye, you can complete the task.

A variety of training programs that start with the essentials and then put them into practice. Take the standing military posture as an example, in front of 2,000 soldiers, under the scorching sun. Wu Kang was as tall as a pine, for two hours, and his body did not move. It's so simple and crude, like a wooden man, and it shocks everyone.

When the military training is very beginning, the team is the unit, and the team is doing the supervision. Wu Kang held his hands behind his back, and his attitude was extremely arrogant: You are all weak chickens, and it is indeed difficult for a strong person to stand upright for two hours. So my request, insist on half an hour, count you qualified, ladies come on.

The naked ridicule is not human words, but the soldiers eat this. After the military posture training, teach them the blade. The forbidden army has changed its costumes, with short soldiers ring the head and horizontal swords, and long-handled glaive closing knives. The Guan knife weighs about ten catties, looks very majestic, and is deeply liked by the emperor.

is still simple and rude, Wu Kang practiced it and told about the chopping action. Guan Dao Li split Huashan, slashed one hundred and eighty times in a row, and said arrogantly: My requirements are not high, I keep chopping ninety times, even if I pass the training, work hard, girls...

After the demonstration, he will be the shopkeeper, and all the training tasks will be handed over to Yulin Changshi. Leaving the Beiya military camp and dealing with Zuo Fengchen's affairs, he was almost busy like a dog. When passing through the harem, Mei Niang will send henchmen to deliver various news.

After the holy driver returned to Beijing, the crown prince Li Hong wrote a letter to revise the military law of the Tang Dynasty. Fleeing to avoid the expedition, or failing to arrive within the time limit, no longer sit with family members. Li Jiu was very satisfied, praised his kindness, and ordered Xiantai and Si Rong to revise the military law as appropriate.

Mei Niang followed the suggestion and released the two little princesses from the Yeting Palace and moved into the Princess Garden. Li Jiulong Yan Dayue praised her for being reasonable and a virtuous helper. At the same time, for two days in a row, I stayed in Penglai Hall and lingered with her gently.

The days go by every day, two o'clock a day, and life is boring. When he left home, and when he arrived, Beiya trained the forbidden army. Rest around noon, go to the Imperial Mansion in the Inner Palace, the Food Bureau, and eat a loving work meal.

The so-called Shang Food Bureau, which is subordinate to the Sixth Bureau of the Inner Palace, is responsible for the emperor's food. The dishes of the chef's diet, still eaten and tasted by the emperor, were not poisoned and then served. Under layers of tasting, it is basically impossible to poison the emperor.

In order to win over the ministers, the emperor would order the Shangshi Bureau to provide a love lunch, which was eaten by Wu Kang. Every time at lunchtime, Mei Niang will also send someone to reward all kinds of pastries, in fact, there is a secret message. After eating, he left the harem and went to the imperial city to Zuo Fengchenwei to deal with the affairs of the guard.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Penglai Palace on time and took Qianniuwei to patrol. Shen got off work at four o'clock, went home to accompany his wife and daughter, and paid the public salary on time. Stay in the bedroom embroidery, sew chess boards, carve chess pieces. All made by hand, planning to give him a birthday gift on Yuan Gongyu's birthday in the lunar month of this year.

On August 20, Zuo Fengchen's office received good news. Da Si Xian Dou Dexuan, moved to Si Yuan Taichang Bo, and inspected the left phase at the same time. This is a political signal, and he and the right minister Liu Xiangdao are both political enemies of Li Yifu. He was promoted to the secretary of the household department, and for the account of Chayi Mansion, Li Jiu was going to do it.

What should come will always come, Wu Kang knows that Li Mao's gravediggers are all in place. Li Jiu is reminding me that if I pretend to be deaf and dumb when I start a political storm, the ending will definitely not be beautiful. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he raised his head and said lightly: "Is it Huaigong, come in and talk." ”

Du Huaigong entered the door, with a hippie smile on his face, and thumbs up: "The general is so powerful, just listening to the footsteps, you can know who is coming, better than my uncle Weng." The subordinates dared to assert that the general would be able to return home blindfolded, with his ears and eyes and with his nose and smell. ”

This rabbit cub, scolding me for being a dog, your father-in-law Li Tao, I can't compare. Wu Kang rolled his eyes, and said in a strange manner: "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and the ability to gag is probably unmatched." Don't talk nonsense, let you investigate, is there any result? ”

When it came to business, Huai Gong was serious, closed the door casually, and whispered back: "The subordinates can assert that Qianniu is prepared for Tingzhi and is full of hostility towards you." I invited him to dinner and drink that day, and when I was half drunk and half awake, I deliberately led the topic to the general. In between conversations, he inadvertently said the word Wu Locust. ”

Huai Gong continued: "Locusts and rats, they are not good words, they mean disasters, and he is scolding you. Locusts are commonly known as grasshoppers, and there is a saying among the people that grasshoppers after the autumn harvest can not stumble for a few days. Ting Zhi's implication is that the general will have a catastrophe, and it is right in front of him. ”

Wu Kang tapped on the table, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth, the catastrophe was brewing. That day, in Jing'an Palace, he met his wife Zheng and asked her to give her a message and invite Tingzhi to be a guest. But to this day, he has not come to the door, and the line is drawn. It can already be determined that the Xue family's conspiracy to reverse the military is in full swing, and it will be launched in a few days.

Shaking his head slightly, he said with a smile: "After late autumn, the weather gradually gets colder, and food begins to be in short supply. After the male grasshopper mates, he ends his life, and the female grasshopper will freeze or starve to death after laying eggs. So the grasshopper after the autumn can't jump for a few days, is there any other news? ”

Huai Gong spread his hands, and his smile suddenly became obscene: "I want to catch some locusts and see how they fit, it must be very interesting." There is no news from Shangguan's family, but there is news from my uncle. The old man said yesterday that the Xue family recommended her niece at the beginning of Xianqing and begged the sage to make a concubine, but then it was over. ”

Wu Kang smiled with his eyebrows, Xue Jieyu has a really big heart, where did she get her confidence. The harem of the Guanlong system has just been cleaned up, and the wolf cannot be lured into the room. Is it because of this that you have become a monk, and your temper is not small?

I have seen everything through, you are against Mei Niang, not for loyalty, but for profit. It's still the same old saying, the queen is Guan Longnu, so it is in your interests. This is a struggle for power and profit, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, let alone loyalty and treachery.

Restrained his smile and said sincerely: "In the future, the patrol mission will not be arranged for you, gather all your energy and pry open Tingzhi's mouth." On my behalf, I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to the British Princess, and I also thank Brother Huaigong, who will be repaid in the future. ”

Huai Gong crossed Erlang's legs, winked and said with a strange smile: "Tingzhi informed last night that a new woman has been added to his family, and ten days later, he will be invited to drink full moon wine." I just don't understand, it's not to give birth to a son, what are you doing with that pomp, did you notify General Wu? ”

Shangguan Tingzhi's daughter should be Shangguan Wan'er, and she is also a poor child. Wu Kang shook his head lightly, a bad taste swelled up, and he said with a sense of concern: "The Wu family and the Shangguan family once had an agreement to marry, and the future heirs of the Wu family will marry this little girl." But the world is impermanent, and I can't give birth to an heir, so I can only sigh. ”

Huai Gong sneered, put down the teacup in his hand, and his expression was quite disdainful: "Why should the general hide it, my uncle mentioned it by chance, I know the reason." The Shangguan family is too arrogant, and there is no one in everyone's eyes, and if he really marries his family, he will pour blood mold. Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to work, full moon wine gift money, pay me in advance. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, looking like a child, Wu Kang lightly ordered: "Go to the right Fengchenwei, in my name, inform Cui Shenqing." Let him take leave to go home, inform the housekeeper Qian Shun, and the time to close the net has come. Xin Hongliang, the general of the right Fengchen, is my best friend, and he should give face. ”

Huai Gong promised loudly, arched his hands perfunctorily, and left humming a little song. Wu Kang scoffed, this kid is very likable. Acts informally, talks wittily and humorously, and doesn't do anything right all day. The popularity is also very good, and he is always in a happy mood when he interacts with him.

Li Tao is old-fashioned, and choosing him as his son-in-law is really a treasure. No wonder a few years later, he wanted to use his head to commemorate the flag of the expedition. After drinking a cup of tea, I left the office and came to the outside of the workshop. The guards have been assembled, and thirty are ready to guard, led by Shangguan Tingzhi.

Enter the palace from the Danfeng Gate, go north along the royal street, and go to the periphery of the Hanyuan Palace. Wu Kang shouted to stop the team, looked at Shangguan Tingzhi, and his tone was a little self-reproachful: "I heard Huaigong just now that Tingzhi has added a new woman, please drink the full moon wine." As your boss, you didn't get an invitation and didn't do your job well. ”

The atmosphere was suddenly embarrassing, and Ting Zhi forced a smile: "I wanted to invite the general, but I was stopped by my father, who said that the general was busy and it was inconvenient to disturb trivial matters." The woman's full moon wine, on the tenth day of this month, if the general deignats, my family can't ask for it. ”

Wu Kang smiled and said nothing, his smile was secretly weird, and he didn't say much. The guards were divided into two groups, one team patrolled the Western Government Office, and the other team continued northward. This game between the two sides is absolutely very bloody and can be called endless. No matter what the result is, the Shangguan family's banquet is destined to be blessed.

Walk through the Xuanzheng Palace, bypass the Zichen Palace, walk through the spacious horizontal street, and enter the harem dormitory area. Surrounded by tall palace walls, the main hall is Penglai Palace, which is the queen's bedroom. There is a cool hall behind the palace, and the north of the hall is adjacent to the liquid pool, and it is very cool in summer. Penglai contains two halls, several secondary halls on both sides, and it is juxtaposed with the east and west.

In addition to the guards, there are only palace eunuchs and foreign ministers who are forbidden to enter. The team led by Wu Kang patrolled according to the route and came to the Hanliang Palace. Seeing Li Deguan from afar, he turned around and instructed his subordinates: "You continue to inspect and wait for me outside the palace gate." ”

The guards left as promised, and the German officers hurried over, greeted each other, and the two walked together. Along the corridor to the north, to the edge of the liquid pool, in the pavilion in the lake, you can see the familiar back. Two palace maids served, Mei Niang turned her back to the palace, looking at the lake in a daze.

The back was slightly melancholy, Wu Kang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but stop. The German official sighed, his expression full of pleading: "Since returning to Beijing, the queen has not been in a good mood, and she has not smiled for half a month. The slaves and maids are in a hurry, general, you can persuade you, this will not work. ”

If persuasion is useful, then there will be no sadness in this world. Wu Kang smiled helplessly, walked towards the gazebo, and tried to take his steps as lightly as possible. Mei Niang didn't look back, put the porcelain cup on the tray, motioned for the palace people to leave, and sighed at the lake: "Kang Lang, tell me, who is the most difficult to prevent?" ”

Wu Kang took the porcelain cup, came to her side, pinched the fish food in the cup, and gently sprinkled it on the surface of the lake. Countless carp scrambled, waving layers of ripples, and replied softly: "Day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, relatives and friends are difficult to prevent." When people face relatives and friends, they often take it lightly and capsize in the gutter. ”

The fish in the lake grabbed food, Mei Niang looked down, and sighed softly after a long time: "Since the twentieth day of July, the saint has been busy with government affairs and has slept in the Zichen Palace. And two ends in three days, I went to the Helin Temple in the west to accompany Xue Jieyu to worship the Buddha, and I was not allowed to follow. ”

My stupid sister, they are plotting to depose you as a concubine, and they will definitely not let you accompany you. Wu Kang stopped his movements, and a wry smile gradually came to his face, this time the conspiracy after the abolition, Li Jiu was the mastermind. Maybe we are nostalgic for the old feelings, so we are hesitant, this is the best news for us.

After a short period of entanglement, I continued to feed the fish and decided to continue to keep it secret, this kind of bad thing, I will solve it myself. Mei Niang turned her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes: "You also guessed that the worship of Buddha in Helin Temple is actually a disguise." Because the little slut is also in the Helin Temple, the moral officer has found out that the two of them have an adulterous affair. ”

Tears fell, and Mei Niang cried aggrieved: "Sister Yuan passed away, and the saint was named Helan, the lady of Wei Guo, and brought back to the palace to take care of it." It's just that I can't think of it, taking care of the bed, why would my niece be like this? ”

The more he talked, the more sad he became, and his voice broke: "I am not thin on Sister Yuan, Minzhi succeeded the martial family, changed his name to Wu Minzhi, and became a descendant of Grandpa." In addition to filial piety, Bailantai Taishi Ling, attacked the duke of Zhou. Look at their mother and daughter, how do they repay me and seduce my husband? ”

Wu Kang's bitter smile was even stronger, this kind of bullshit was upside down, a slap didn't make a sound, and Li Jiu was very responsible. Mei Niang continued to cry, gritting her teeth with hatred: "I let go of the two princesses, and the saint stayed in the dormitory, and he actually tested me with words." Trying to make her a concubine, let's die of this heart, as long as I am alive, the harem will not be touched. ”

is a greedy person again, with glory and wealth, and still wants to covet the back position. Wu Kang took a silk handkerchief, wiped her tears, and comforted her softly: "If there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and she is not a good bird, I have already guessed it." Don't worry, she's just a vase, I'll explain it to you. ”

Shaking her head, she said lightly: "A vase-like woman has a beautiful appearance and an empty belly. My sister was full of wealth, and when the saint was sick, she helped deal with state affairs and was called a political ally. The saint is eloquent and will not give up his right hand because of the vase. ”

Wu Kang poured all the fish food into the lake, admired the hundreds of fish competing for food, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Without diamonds, don't do porcelain work." Not so capable, don't have too much ambition, will laugh and be generous. If my sister is not at ease, I will help you deal with it, just like dealing with Wushun..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Mei Niang and lowered his voice: "Wu Shun was killed by me, she is your sister, presumably there is some hatred in my sister's heart." Unfortunately, I don't have a choice, no matter how much you hate me, I'll do that. I will not allow anyone to threaten your safety. ”

Mei Niang cried again, shook her head and said firmly: "That incident is over, never mention it again, I have no grudge against you, let alone hate." Kang Lang, listen to me, the saint is very protective of the Helan clan. General Fengchen is in charge, and the Lin Army is assisted, you don't have a chance, don't act rashly. ”

Wu Kang nodded, handed her the handkerchief, and said with a wry smile again: "Maybe starting tomorrow, Li Yifu will be unlucky, and nine times out of ten, he will be exiled after being imprisoned." His gravedigger, the manipulator behind the scenes, is actually me. ”

Mei Niang was dumbfounded, and Wu Kang smiled dumbly: "Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only a few people who will help you speak." Yifu is also your right-hand man, but I want to cut him off. I'm afraid that not only Yifu, but also others, is also your helper. ”

After half a quarter of an hour of silence, Mei Niang gradually came back to her senses, shook her head and said firmly: "Yifu is arrogant and domineering, the saint is disappointed, he is self-inflicted. I can feel that it is a big deal that you have something to hide from me. But I'm not worried, because I'm sure that Kang Lang won't hurt me. ”

Wu Kang was very pleased, carefully observed the surroundings, made sure that it was absolutely safe, and asked in a low voice: "Your eyeliner in the palace, how is the arrangement?" For example, in the Zichen Palace, who did His Majesty meet, what things were discussed, and how long would it take to know? ”

Mei Niang immediately replied: "My sister has been in business for many years, and the rewards given by the saints have all bought people's hearts. In the entire palace, there are eyeliner everywhere, and what Kang Lang just said will only be reported in two days at most. Tell me honestly, what the hell is going on, and why is this a question? ”

Wu Kang smiled with relief, shook his head and did not answer. If you are well-informed, our siblings' heads will be a little more stable...
