In the first year of Lin De (664 AD), on the eighth day of the tenth month of winter, at five o'clock in the afternoon.

In the northwest of Penglai Palace, in the Sanqing Daojun Temple, in the pavilion to the west, the atmosphere is extremely embarrassing. The two sisters and brothers of the martial arts family sat opposite the stone table, their bodies facing east and west, and their eyes focused on the Helan clan. She is dressed in high-end and atmospheric manners, dressed in fancy clothes, and looks unruly.

I am just twenty years old this year, and I am more touching than when I was young. Regardless of the figure and facial features, it can be said to be the best, which can be called the beauty of the country. If there is a ranking of beautiful women, she will be at the top. Although Mei Niang is very beautiful, it is a pity that she is slightly older and somewhat dwarfed.

Wu Kang couldn't help but sigh that his impression of Helan was still in Wuzhou. Before marrying Xiaoqing, Mei Niang asked Wushun and went thousands of miles to Wuzhou. With a pair of children, as a sister, he organized his wedding, which can be regarded as dedication.

Get along very well, I like Helan the most, every time I come home from work, I always hug her to play. It's a pity that creation makes people, I don't know when, I don't know why, the relationship is suddenly estranged. During the New Year's holidays, she went to Wufu to visit Yang's family, and Minzhi's performance was fine, but she ignored it.

In today's field, she was named Mrs. Wei and hooked up with her uncle. Wu Kang was secretly sad, how could a sensible child grow crooked. If her brain could be on par with her appearance, she wouldn't have come here and might have a good death.

Holding a wooden cage in his arms and containing two white rabbits, it is today's auspiciousness. The time of the morning will be offered, now at five o'clock in the afternoon, less than three hours, to her hands. You don't have to think about it to know that what Li Jiu gave her shows the depth of her favor.

But this extreme child, after getting the white rabbit, actually came to show off. You are aunts and nephews, you should love each other, why do you regard them as enemies? Yu Guang peeked at Mei Niang, her face was already sinking like water, and her phoenix eyes were full of anger. Bazi's eyebrows were furrowed, and his breathing was a little disordered, as if he was suppressing his anger.

In the middle of his thoughts, Wu Kang smelled the conspiracy and secretly scolded Li Jiu for being a bastard. The auspicious rui I offered, he handed it over to the Helan clan, did he know that she would show off her might? deliberately stimulated Mei Niang, made her lose her mind, made overstepping the system, and collected excuses after abolition.

The black-bellied rabbit cub, such a calculating wife, wolf heart and dog lungs, you. Wu Kang quietly stretched out his feet and lightly touched Mei Niang's shoes to divert her mood. Soon there was an effect, two white eyes were thrown, and he stepped on his toes fiercely, and his breath stabilized, and he recovered calmly.

Helan walked into the pavilion, his eyes swept over Wu Kang, and the yin and yang weird accusations: "If I remember correctly, the title of General Wu, the founding prince of Dongyang County, seems to be the second grade." On the other hand, my title, from the first rank of Mrs. Wei, is one level higher than you. Why don't you salute when you see Mrs. Ben? ”

Using chicken feathers as arrows, looking at this shelf, Wu Kang smiled dumbly, and said with a pleasant face: "We are a family, don't be rigid about etiquette, besides, I am an uncle." Xin Hongliang, the general of Fengchen on the right, his uncle is just a commoner, but he treats him as his own father. Treat him with filial piety and be admired by the world. ”

Helan scoffed, came to the stone table, and sat down with a big grin. The wooden cage was put on the stone table, two vegetable leaves were taken out, and the white rabbit was carefully fed, and he still said that he was squeezing: "My aunt is dead and my cousin is not close, and my mother is not close to my uncle, besides, your uncle is still nothing." and my mother, who is not related by blood, picked it up halfway. ”

What she said was not human, Mei Niang scolded sharply: "You shut up in this palace, Kang Lang's biological father is Grandpa's younger brother." This is absolutely true, and no one can question that your surname is Helan, and you are not qualified to accuse. Speaking of rules and etiquette, can Mrs. Wei be bigger than the queen, why don't you do it? ”

The roar was loud, and the silence in the courtyard was particularly harsh. She got up abruptly, condescending, and her eyes were murderous. Helan was frightened, her pretty face burned red, and she quickly came back to her senses. Snorted coldly twice in return, and continued to feed the white rabbit, his expression was extremely unnatural.

Wu Kang is also unnatural, Mei Niang has always been steady, how could she be so out of shape? The provocation of pediatrics can lead to loss of reason, which is very abnormal. Could it be that my identity is regarded by her as a reverse scale, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't be. We have no blood relationship, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know it all by heart.

Mei Niang pointed to the rabbit cage and mocked with a cold face: "Four snow rabbits Xiangrui appeared in Kang Lang's house, and two stayed in the Wu family." The palace is at the helm of the martial arts, and the two little white rabbits are also owned by the palace, will I envy you? I have what you have, but you don't have what I have, so remind you, don't be delusional. ”

Helan raised her head suddenly, her angry eyes collided, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Wu Kang frowned slightly, Mei Niang's words just now were a little angry, and she lost her previous level. With her city, she will not be angry and uncomfortable because of provocation?

I couldn't help but be a little worried, looking at Helan arrogant, I felt very ridiculous. is not only a villain, but also like a clown jumping off the beam, in Li Jiu's eyes, you are just a plaything. If a man has great ambitions, he will only pamper beauty and will not indulge in beauty.

Or maybe I was wrong, not just a plaything, but a tool for him. Use you to torture Mei Niang, make her feel threatened, and then faint and stun. Because everything about Mei Niang comes from the queen's position, which is her foundation. The origin is threatened, he will lose his mind, and Li Jiu, who has a black belly, has achieved his goal.

Wu Kang felt sorry for Mei Niang, and decided to send Helan away, still with a pleasant face: "Mrs. Xue of Hedong, the city government is unfathomable, and all the promises given are to amuse you." To put it mildly, eight of you are tied up, and you are no match for her. Therefore, listening to my advice and staying away from her will definitely have advantages and disadvantages. ”

Helan suddenly turned her head, her expression flashed with panic, and then she moaned softly and quickly withdrew her left hand. She was careless and was bitten by a rabbit, which is really pitiful. forcibly calmed down and denied it: "I accompanied her to copy the scriptures, and there were not too many entanglements." The hour is almost up, and I want to accompany the saint to worship the Buddha, so I will take my leave first. ”

After speaking, he didn't salute, and left with the rabbit cage, looking in a hurry, as if he was frightened. Mei Niang gloated, and soon became depressed, with bitterness on her face, gritted her teeth and asked Wu Kang: "What kind of evil has been created, why are the so-called relatives who betrayed me?" ”

There's nothing to worry about, politics has no family affection, and the people who want to calculate you the most are often relatives. Because they know how beautiful you are. Because of envy and jealousy, the lard blinds the heart, and delusions take its place. Also because of family relationships, you will take it lightly and may capsize in the gutter.

This is a cliché, Wu Kang was too lazy to talk nonsense, stood up and stretched out his hand, and put it on her forehead. After feeling it carefully for a moment, he frowned and asked: "I am sensitive to temperature, and my sister has a low-grade fever, thirty-seven degrees Celsius." What the hell is going on, have you been infected with wind and cold, and have you asked for a doctor? ”

Mei Niang rolled her eyes and knocked his hand off, scolding no big or small. Covering his mouth and yawning, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said angrily: "What is Celsius, your weird words, don't talk to me again." But you're right, you did get a cold, and I've been taking medicine these days, probably in Zichen..."

Speaking of this, he blushed, and after a short twist, tears appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's all to blame on that little slut, who took away the soul of the saint, and I didn't come to Penglai Hall for more than half a month." I didn't want to be left out in the cold, so I went to the Zichen Hall five days ago and pestered the saint to make love. The desk was a little cold, so I got a chill..."

I'm a mother, I'm not ashamed of you, you're forty years old, and you're still playing difficult. Mei Niang was not shy, but even more miserable: "I can feel that he is perfunctory to me, and even snub me." The day before yesterday, he had a menstrual affair, and his lower abdomen hurt badly, so he asked Baliang to inform him, but he ignored it. ”

It's not just the snubbing, there will be more ruthless, but unfortunately I can't say it explicitly. Wu Kang groaned and whispered to her: "When a woman comes to menstruation, her body temperature rises slightly, which is normal. Maybe it's not the wind and cold, stop the medicine first, it's the medicine is three parts poison, and you can't eat it. ”

In his previous life, he was a warm man, and he was also a spare tire, in order to please the goddess, he understood physiological knowledge. During the menstrual period, a woman's mood will be unstable and fluctuate greatly. Prone to irritability, even if it is trivial, they will quarrel over it, and they can't control their anger.

Helan clan's provocation, she didn't handle it well, and this is probably the reason. Mei Niang nodded, covered her mouth and yawned, her mood was still low: "The saint's indifference, I know the reason, meddle in political affairs." But I don't blame me, he was ill and allowed me to participate in politics. ”

Mei Niang whispered accusations, as if venting, and said a lot. Wu Kang listened attentively, his heart was very heavy, and it was all expected. Power is like a drug, as long as it is contaminated, it will be unstoppable. Li Jiu inherited a wind disease, and under repeated attacks, she changed from an occasional part-time job to a full-time secretary.

Politics is interests, and after dealing with them for a long time, there will always be disagreements. Differences breed contradictions, Mei Niang is relatively strong and may be good at asserting. Touching the nerve of the right naturally provokes displeasure. The contradictions accumulate deeper and deeper, the resentment gathers bigger and bigger, and there will always be an outbreak.

The fuse was Li Yifu, who was rude that day and soon realized that something was wrong. But this deflated calf has a very immodest attitude, and he doesn't ask the righteous lord to ask for guilt, but he asks Mei Niang to make peace. The result was self-evident, and Li Jiu was even more disgusted and dismissed his right minister. He didn't want to be left in power, so he was angry with Mei Niang, and his resentment finally broke out.

But they have a good relationship, after all, they are married and have four sons together, so they are hesitant. If a person has something on his mind, he feels uncomfortable in his heart, and he always wants to find someone to talk to. Mrs. Xue of Hedong is his intimate person, enlightenment teacher and nanny, and is the best confidant.

The Xue family was born in the Guanlong system, the most resolute anti-martial faction, because of the abolition of Wang Liwu, he directly became a nun. In the face of a God-given opportunity, he will definitely not let it go, so a storm is brewing. First of all, he added fuel to the fire and said bad things about the Wu family, which intensified Li Jiu's heart and disgust with the Wu family.

secondly, courtiers, such as Shangguan Yi and Liu Xiangdao, were recruited through various channels to weave Wu charges. Just like Xu Juan said, Shangguan Yi secretly went to the top and implored the Wu clan to be deposed. Li Jiu'er has soft roots, and the harem and courtiers blow the wind, which breeds the heart of abolishing martial arts. For that note, he chose to destroy it, which is the best proof.

The Xue clan persevered, continued to add fuel to the fire, and aimed at the Helan clan. deliberately befriended and co-opted, took advantage of her ignorance, and provoked and suppressed Mei Niang. is still the same sentence, the foundation of Mei Niang's foothold is the queen's throne. In order to keep her position, she will lose her cool and even do whatever it takes.

is in the arms of the Xue family, and what she wants most is this result. If people lose their coolness, they will make mistakes and fall into the trap. She is eyeing her, if this handle crosses Li Jiu's bottom line, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wu Kang was very sure that Helan got the white rabbit, and there were only two ways to go. Either from Li Jiu, or Xue Shi asked for it, and then transferred it to Helan. But no matter what you say, Helan will come to provoke, and she will be instructed by two people, and it is very likely that the Xue family.

couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Mei Niang said later, but she didn't listen to half a word. What exactly is the mistake that can break through that line? Stinky Taoist priest Guo Xingzhen, the person who claims to be 100 years old, but is less than 50 years old. inexplicably entered the palace and colluded with the Xue family, what role did he play in the Xue Group?

I couldn't figure it out, the more I thought about it, the bigger my braincase became, and I scratched my ears and cheeks in annoyance. Wang Ba lid drops, since he is a monk, he should see through the red dust. The Buddha often taught that sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of ants, cherishing moths and gauze lamps, and being a monk with compassion. But you don't do anything, brew a political storm, and implicate countless families...

Wu Kang cursed Xue, suddenly felt a headache, and his forehead was knocked again. Mei Niang yawned and pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "What kind of god am I talking to you, isn't it nagging?" Then let's not talk about it, go back to accompany Xiaoqing, I have a wife and forget my sister. ”

What he said was not human, Wu Kang couldn't cry or laugh, shaking his head and shaking his head to be funny: "Don't knock on the door, it's dull enough, it's stupid to knock again." I am thirty years old, not thirteen years old, so that the younger generations will find out that there is no place for my old face. ”

Mei Niang pursed her lips, stood up and complained: "It's best if you're stupid, circle you up, and stay with me forever." But then again, our sisters and brothers talked for a long time, and we were much more cheerful. Send me back to the palace, the entire palace, and even the whole world, only Kang Lang is intimate, and he only dares to trust you. ”

This is my honor, Wu Kang smiled silently and accompanied her out of the pavilion. When he came to the courtyard gate, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Guo Xingzhen was looking at the entrance of the main hall. A sneer pulled out from the corner of your mouth, no matter what medicine you sell in your gourd, it will become poison, and then you will eat the consequences.

The discharge gate went south, walking in front of the guard of honor, and the procession was mighty. Soon Zou frowned, seeing that she yawned again and again, as if she had not woken up. I asked in a low voice and got a strange answer, and after the menstrual period, I slept very well.

When I slept until dawn, I didn't even dream, and I slept longer. This is an evil sect, sleeping for ten hours, and even having no energy. After some meditation, I still can't figure it out, I guess I'm old, and it's affected by my menstrual period.

Coming to the north gate of the dormitory, signaling the team to stop, Wu Kang lowered his voice: "Sister, listen to me, be cautious in your words and deeds recently, and don't interfere in government affairs." Whatever you do, think twice and never be impulsive. Don't go to Sanqing Palace, that hundred-year-old liar, and don't make friends again. ”

Mei Niang hesitated, and finally nodded, supported by eight taels, and entered the Penglai Palace. She could feel that Kang Lang had something on his mind and was dealing with big things. Since he doesn't want to say it, then don't force it, he has his concerns, and it won't hurt me anyway.

Along the wall of the Zichen Palace, Wu Kang continued to travel south, and when he passed by the Tong Forest, the palace people ran out of it. The right hand quickly held the knife, and relaxed the nerves in an instant, it turned out to be Xu Juan'er. As if nothing had happened, she threw the ball of paper at the edge of the forest and passed by him.

Sure enough, she found the right person, the little girl is very smart, and Wu Kang threw out a flattering look. When he came to the paper ball, he took out a silk cloth from his bag and pretended to wipe his leather boots. After looking at the six roads, pick up the small paper ball, rub it open with one hand, and read it quickly.

Juanxiu's handwriting weighs a thousand pounds, and the first sentence at the beginning: Shangguanyi has been here. When I look at the whole content, I feel that the world is spinning, and my teeth are pressed against my tongue, forcing myself to calm down.

The note said: Liu Xiangdao will no longer inspect the school, and Shi Yuan, the head of the Zhou Palace, will take over this position. He also has a younger brother, Xiangzhou Linzhangyuan is sincere, and the official worships the county order of Wannian.

Jianzhou assassin Xue Yuanchao, and his aunt Xue's letter, was successfully intercepted by Wu Ying. The information extracted from the letter has already determined that the two Genji brothers belong to the Reverse Martial Forces. The second bombshell, Zuo Suji Zheng Qintai, was promoted to Si Rong Taichangbo.

Wu Kang smiled bitterly, walked out of Yanying Gate quickly, looked at the palace building, and suddenly got lost. Turning my head to look left and right, three classic questions hovered in my mind: who am I, where am I, what am I doing...

The Xue clan's inverted martial arts group, its power swelled dramatically, which frightened him. A Han king Li Yuanjia, two prime ministers, a secretary of the ministry, a criminal secretary, a military secretary, a general of Zuo Wuweiwei, a Zhongshu scholar, a Wannian county order, a Chang'an county lieutenant...

I'm just a general, I don't have the slightest military power, and I don't have any helpers. Single-handedly, Douxue Group, where does the confidence come from, and what is the fighting method? Even if you are covered in iron, how many pounds of nails can you make? At this juncture, what does it mean for Li Jiu to be promoted to their official position?

I want to spit out the fragrance in my mouth, but I don't know who to scold, and I walk aimlessly, but I don't know where to go. There was only a smirk on his face, no one would help me, even if Su Dingfang learned about the other party's forces, he would be discouraged. Since there is no chance of winning, let's suffer alone, let my wives and daughters, as well as my sisters, be happy for a few days.

I don't know how long it took, but my vision gradually blurred, and I couldn't see. So he stopped, regained a trace of consciousness, and it turned out to be tears. Raising his sleeves to wipe his tears, he heard a concerned inquiry: "What's wrong with General Wu, is he unwell?" ”

The sleeve wiped the corner of his eyes, and his soul immediately returned to his shell, and the two little officials in front of him had expressions of concern. Wu Kang looked around, pulled out a wry smile, and replied politely: "Thank you two for your concern, my body is fine." Just now, I was careless, and the mud and sand were blinded. ”

Trying to retrieve the memory, comparing the buildings in front of him, in a daze, came to the Lantai Office. Originally known as the Secretary Province, it was subordinate to Xitai (Zhongshu Province), and consisted of two departments, the Bureau of Writings and the Bureau of Taishi, and now it is called the Bureau of Literature and Literature and the Bureau of the Secret Cabinet.

In the past, the Taishi Bureau order, and now in the secret pavilion, it should be Li Chunfeng. His main business, the changes of the sun, moon and stars, the difference in wind and clouds, and the difference in complexion, lead his subordinates to occupy it; His part-time business, looking at divination, is referred to as the old god stick.

Just now, my brain was down, my legs were uncontrollable, and I actually came here. It seems that in the dark, I am being pulled by a mysterious force, can Mr. Li Chunfeng help me break the game. He was a lifesaver, Wu Kang bowed: "May I ask the two brothers, Li Langzhong of the Secret Pavilion Bureau, I want to visit him if he is not in the official office." ”

The two nodded happily and led the way sideways, their expressions quite excited. The tall and thin man on the left patted his ass in a low voice: "The world says that General Wu, a high-ranking official of the third grade, treats people like a small person." Even if you meet a beggar, you will treat each other politely, the general is approachable, and the rumors are true. ”

Wu Kang is gentle and modest, he was a dick in his last life, and he can't be proud in this life. But that's fine, only by respecting others can you gain respect. Soon arrived at the Secret Pavilion Bureau, the little official went to report, and in less than half an hour, Chunfeng came to greet him.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and then walked together and walked into the Secret Cabinet Office. He is sixty-two this year, and his spirit is very good, and he has a lot more gray hair than the last meeting. So Guo Xingzhen must be a liar. Li Chunfeng is such a cow, he will age naturally, what kind of thing are you?

When he came to his office, Wu Kang closed the door, lifted his purple robe, and knelt directly on the ground. looked up at Li Chunfeng, and his words were very sincere: "When a catastrophe comes, I have nothing to do." Please, Mr. Lee, help me one more time. ”

Chunfeng was stunned first, and did not support Wu Kang, but quickly calculated. Suddenly stunned, his face was unusually ugly. I don't know how long it took, I sighed and said lightly: "The old man is shallow, he can't spy on the chess game, and naturally he can't break the game..."
