History of Wuzhou Assassination Chapter 37 The Pit of Trickery Li Jingye
Yonghui six years, the ninth day of the ninth month of September, not three quarters.
In the southwest of Chang'an City, opposite the square wall of Chang'an County, is a street of Chang'an City Restaurant. The aroma of wine is fragrant, the wine flag is swaying, and the welcome is endless. In the middle of the wine street, Lulin Restaurant, a three-story red house, is decorated with an atmosphere and stands out from the crowd. The signature wine is red sorghum, the signature dish is chicken fir mushroom, and the signature fruit is Wuzhou big Ya pear.
In the box on the third floor, there is a white-faced guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is quite high-spirited. A wine jar is placed on the table, and a wine bowl is held in the left hand, and a few sips are taken from time to time. Holding a strange object in his right hand, round mahogany like a bowl, and a pattern carved by a famous artist, the high-end atmosphere is high-end.
After drinking the wine in the bowl, touch the left cheek first, then the nose and mouth. Touching his facial features, he smirked at the disc, sometimes squeezing his eyebrows, sometimes baring his teeth. Fingernails plugged into the mouth, picked out the vegetable leaves between the teeth, and wiped them on the table, looking like a psychopath.
Suddenly, the sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and the left thumb and middle finger were flicked back and forth with the bun. Pull down sharply, rip off a strand of hair, and pull three times in a row, tearing off a white hair. Stick out your tongue and lick the ends of your hair, sticking lightly to your chin, like a white beard. Stirring up, giggling again, indeed psychopath.
The young man said to himself: A clear mirror is a hundred times better than a bronze mirror. Look at the material is crystal, the back is specially treated, and the precious mahogany carved frame is really valuable. Those two fangs are so stupid that they only sell five times, either they don't know the goods, or the origin of the mirror is unknown.
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and I wrap it up and put it in my arms. Red sorghum in the left hand, big pear in the right hand, left and right bows, feasting. Tomorrow grandmother will be fiftieth birthday, and she will use the treasure mirror as a gift, and grandmother will definitely like it. Her old man blew the wind on the pillow and begged her grandfather for an errand, which should not be a problem.
Half a pound of wine in the stomach, the stomach rumbling violently, there is a ** to go to the thatched house. The young man frowned, red sorghum with duck pear, he has always eaten like this. The abdomen became more and more distended and painful, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I went out with my stomach covered. Run to the end of the corridor, close the wooden door of the thatched house, and squat on the clean toilet.
About half an hour, I opened the door of the thatched house, covered my abdomen with a bitter face, and went to Lang Zhong to ask for medicine. Passing by the Tianzi private room, I vaguely heard my grandfather's name, and I couldn't help but stop. Listen carefully, there is indeed someone Li Tao. Jun's face turned black into the bottom of the pot, and his anger went straight to the heavenly spirit cover, Tian Shenu was so bold, did he think he had a long life?
This person should really be angry, and his tongue is annoying behind his back, not to mention that the object is grandpa. His name is Li Jingye, 19 years old this year, his ancestral home is Lihu County, Caozhou, Henan Province, that is, Dongming County, Heze City, Shandong Province; His father's name is Li Zhen, and the official worships the history of Zezhou; Grandfather's name is Li Tao, Sikong, Shangzhuguo, British Gong, and a well-deserved big man.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are definitely no more than five people who dare to name Li Tao. Thinking of this, he was furious, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he tiptoed closer. Gently stick your head out, put your ears against the window lattice, and listen to the conversation in the private room.
Voice A: Everyone in the world is a British duke, who has opened up the territory and expanded the territory, has made outstanding achievements, and has won the trust of the imperial court. In fact, in my opinion, he is a thief, and he is a thief in his bones. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he is a thief, indiscriminate, and kills anyone he meets; At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was a thief, and when he was in a bad mood, he went to kill.
Voice B: Brother Eldest Grandson, you have drunk too much, don't talk nonsense, don't talk bad behind your back. We must respect Li Gong and respect him enough. Li Gong's brilliant military exploits are the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty and the standard for our generation to learn.
Listening to these words, Li Jingye was full of pride, and soon blackened his face again. The nasty voice is very familiar, it's the sworn enemy Changsun Yan... It doesn't seem right, the eldest grandson Yan is a reckless man, and he can't speak in words. Could it be that the person in the private room is his eldest son and grandson Chong, and the voices of father and son are very similar.
Voice A: Wudu Governor doesn't know anything, Li Tao's original name is Xu Maogong, he has a wealthy family at a young age, and he has accumulated thousands of bells. In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, seventeen-year-old Li Tao saw that the world was in turmoil, so he took refuge in Zhai Rang. Ordinary people are desperate when they become thieves; Li Tao was born rich and noble, but he volunteered to be a thief, which is due to his thief nature.
Li Jingye's mind turned and determined that Voice B was Wu Kang. He has a strong Jiangnan accent, the official residence is the governor of Yuezhou, and he is also the assassin of Wuzhou. My favorite red sorghum is said to have been invented by him and given to his sister Wu Zhaoyi. According to the recent arrival in the capital, he rushed around for the abolition of Wang Liwu and took the door of the eldest grandson's house, and he also had to pass.
The annoying voice continued: Li Tao joined the thief army and gave advice to Zhai Rang, the neighborhood is your and my hometown, and it is not appropriate to disturb the villagers. Go to Songzhou and Zhengzhou, the two states are close to the canal, and there are many business travelers in the past, which is convenient for plundering official and private money and goods. Listen to Wududu, is this human language? looting official and private property, and the thief's nature is exposed.
Li Jingye, who was eavesdropping, gradually gritted his teeth, and listened to Wu Kang's advice: Brother Jingming eats more and drinks less, and if he drinks again, he will get drunk. Looting public and private property is to prepare for a great cause, and human life in troubled times is as cheap as a dog. In my opinion, don't accuse Li Gong, Li Gong is loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous, and we are not qualified to accuse.
Li Jingye's face was hideous, and Jingming was the word of Changsun Chong. Okay, you Tianshenu, drink a few more glasses of urine and wine, and slander my grandfather, how can it be reasonable? It's the governor of Wudu, speaking for his grandfather, who is a righteous man and a gentleman. The eldest grandson rushed to wait for me, and when I went back to report it, it was up to my grandfather to decide.
Before his body moved, Changsun Chong continued to fart: Li Gongzhong is filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and he laughs at me, that Tian Shenu is not worthy! Let's first "loyalty", he first took refuge in Zhai Rang, and when he saw that Li Mi was powerful, he persuaded Zhai Rang to vote for Li Mi. Tian Shenu had some skills, repelled the Sui army several times, and was named the Duke of Donghai County.
More than a year later, in Jiangdu, Yu Wenhua killed Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Dongdu, the king of Yue, ascended the throne. Pardon Li Mi's thieves, crown Li Mi as the Duke of Wei, confer Li Tao as the general of the right Wuhou, and order them to crusade against Yu Wenhua. was originally an anti-Sui hero, but he turned around and became a general of the Sui Dynasty, it's ridiculous... Don't worry, listen to me.
Li Mi defeated Yu Wenhua and was defeated by Wang Shichong, so he gathered the remaining soldiers and returned to my Tang Dynasty, and the original territory was occupied by Li Tao. The cunning old thief records the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and counts the military and civilian household registration. pretended to report to Li Mi, but in fact, he expressed to our court that I, Li Tao, was going to surrender again.
Gaozu valued him very much, and gave the country the surname Li, and he also changed his name to Li Shiyun. Later, Dou Jiande captured Yu Wenhua alive and marched to attack Li Tao, and the old thief fell into a desperate situation. Gaozu treats him well, but all righteous people should rather be broken jade than complete tiles.
But he doesn't think so, what morality and integrity, what court and emperor, compared with the life of the family, are all dung. So that old thief took refuge in Dou Jiande again. Dare to ask Wudu Governor, is he worthy of "loyalty" if he is so two-faced and capricious?
The atmosphere was very oppressive, the corridor was very quiet, and the sudden banging sound was particularly harsh. Li Jingye turned around and ran, secretly scolding that he couldn't hold his breath and shouldn't stomp his feet. As soon as his head left the door, he listened to Wu Kang's words again: It is estimated that it is Xu Troublemaker, it is Lu San's pet cat, a very naughty guy. Brother Eldest Sun, don't care, let's continue drinking, I'll toast you.
With the crisp sound of clinking glasses, Li Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and continued, eavesdropping on the eldest grandson Chong's fart: Dou Jiande arrested Xu Gai, that is, the father of the old thief, and took him as a hostage in the army, so that the old thief could guard Liyang. Later, Dou Jiande fought with our dynasty, and gradually showed his decline, and the old thief saw that the situation was not good, so he fled to Chang'an alone and surrendered to Gaozu again...
Governor Wudu, look, is this a human thing? Regardless of past promises, regardless of his father's life or death, he only cares about his own life, and only serves the strong, and if he has milk, he is his mother. Such an old thief, capricious, how can he be worthy of loyalty? Ignoring his biological father in vain and abandoning his biological mother, how can he be worthy of filial piety?
After a short period of silence, Wu Kang didn't answer the phone, and tried to persuade him to drink. The wine glasses touched, and the eldest grandson sneered: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, no matter how benevolent we are, he is even less worthy. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. But in his opinion, there is only one daughter, and there can be many sons-in-law.
His second daughter, Li, married to the Hongnong Du family, is also a good match. In November of the 18th year of Zhenguan, Taizong appointed Zhang Liang as the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March. Li Tao was appointed as the chief of the march of Liaodong Province, leading 60,000 troops to attack Liaodong and march together with Zhang Liang.
Li Tao recruited his son-in-law and asked him to go out with the army, in the name of earning military merits. Governor Wudu, as you know, when the general takes over the army, he first straightens out military affairs, and then establishes his majesty. How to stand mighty, the easiest, killing the flag. Those who are sacrificed to the flag must be carefully selected, and they must have enough status to deter the whole army.
His son-in-law made a slight mistake on his first expedition and was beheaded by him to sacrifice the flag. The weight was large enough, the effect was very good, and the military prestige was successfully established. In fact, in my opinion, calling his son-in-law to accompany the army is not to let him be gilded, but to plan it a long time ago, borrowing his son-in-law's head to sacrifice the flag... Don't be in a hurry to argue, let's have two more drinks and let me continue.
The wine glasses collided, and the fart sounded: In the first month of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, there was civil strife in Xue Yantuo's department; In June, Taizong attacked Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo fled westward, supported a new khan, and sent an envoy to the imperial court, requesting a settlement in Yudujun Mountain; Taizong sent Li Tao to appease, Xue Yantuo wavered, and Li Tao decided to start the war again.
When it was time to sacrifice the flag, Mrs. Li's new husband failed to get up in time and was pushed out of the gate and beheaded. This poor worm, just like his predecessors, was also tricked into the barracks. From this point of view, the death of the two sons-in-law is not a coincidence at all, but a deliberate murder.
In March last year, Mrs. Li remarried Du Huaigong, and the two predecessors were in front of Zhuyu, hoping that poor Du would not become the third unlucky egg. Li Tao is ruthless and dedicated to his family, how can he be called benevolent? So, the English old thief, disloyal, unkind, unjust, outright hypocrite...
"Fuck your stinking fart", roared like thunder, and the door slammed open. Li Jingye's facial features were hideous, and he rushed over with his fists clenched. Wu Kang got up suddenly, stretched his arms in front of him, and said in a fierce voice: Who are you and what do you want to do?
Li Jingye screamed, and the two hugged each other and were entangled for more than five minutes. Wu Kang sighed, was thrown out of the distance, and hit the pillar with his back. The table is full of delicacies, and some people bury their arms in their faces, lying on the table silently.
Pretending to be quite similar, Li was murderous and strode to the table. grabbed the bun with his left hand, picked up his head and looked, sure enough, it was Changsun Chong. Damn Tian Shenu, slandering Naion's grandfather, you think that if you pretend to be drunk, you will be spared?
Pick up the right hand of the pu fan, snap the bow left and right, and the bloody handprint quickly goes up to the face. The eldest grandson Chong was unconscious, and Li Jingye jumped like thunder, you are a king and a calf, and then pretend to me. A few more slaps, his cheeks quickly bulged, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood.
"What are you doing, how do you beat people indiscriminately? He is the secretary and chief supervisor Sun Chong, the eldest grandson Wuji's son-in-law", Wu Kang hugged his waist and dragged back. Li Jingye didn't let go, pulled the eldest grandson Chong's bun, and overturned the entire table. This time it was even more lively, and the dishes and dishes were all smashed on the eldest grandson Chong.
Li Jingye screamed, knowing that he was the eldest grandson Chong, and he was the one who beat him. Shook Wu Kang again, gritted his teeth and raised his feet, and kicked Changsun Chong's back fiercely. Wu Kang fell again, got up with two snorts, blocked in front of Li, and shouted in a strange voice: Kill someone, kill someone, come quickly...
The people who came to Mao'er have already been cleared by us, you are too bad, big guy. Erxian, who was hiding under the bed, bit his lip tightly and covered his mouth with both hands. His eyes were full of smiles, and the donkey's face was distorted, because the picture was too joyful.
The unlucky Li Jingye goes out without brains, the big guy has infinite power, and he is the first fierce general in Wuzhou. With your body, it is impossible to break free, and he carries you up with one hand, which is similar to carrying a chicken. But the big guy is more cola, can't you persuade him well, don't step on Brother Chong's face.
The eldest grandson Chong thinks he is smart, and Wu Yu's things dare to eat, and your mouth is bleeding. In fact, I invite you to the meeting, not to walk through the back door, but to ask you to be beaten. Since entering the box, the big guy has only talked nonsense, never mentioning the abolition of Wang Liwu, but has just kept persuading him to drink.
After a few glasses of wine, find the right time, and quietly take sweat medicine. This medicine is powerful, Li Chunfeng is equipped with a large amount of nails, which can stun the bullock. At the beginning of Zhuji's fight against plague, the big guys were all poured by the princess's medicine, and the leather whip and dripping wax wheels were on the wheel, and they almost died.
Under the eyes of his wife, the big guy had a tryst with the princess's sister, just to sweat the medicine. After designing the eldest Sun Chong, he designed Li Jingye, and he was also brainless. The crystal treasure mirror, the whole crystal grinding, lasted more than half a year, and it was a gift to Zhaoyi. Fools know that the priceless treasure mirror, how can it only be sold for five times?
You have laxatives in your wine, and after you have diarrhea, you leave the hut and deliberately let you hear it. Of course, those words are not the eldest grandson Chong, but my second son. I have a mantra, as long as it is a voice, I can imitate it, and I can confuse it with falsehood.
The room crackled, the smile disappeared, and a haze swelled in my heart. The purpose of doing this game is to create contradictions for the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Tao and make them antagonistic. Brother Wuji opposed the abolition of Wang Liwu, Li Tao was a turtle with a shrunken head, and the big guy wanted to pull him into the water.
In order to help Wu Zhaoyi, is it really worth offending the two important ministers? If the matter is revealed, neither the eldest grandson Wuji nor the old fox Li Tao will let him go. Erxian was entangled for a moment, and he felt that he would not be exposed, and the person who sold the mirror, Pinglang would deal with it.
Seeing that the time was about the same, Li Jingye was taken away, and the sound source quickly went downstairs. Erxian immediately drilled out, glanced at Changsun Chong, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face. I walked around, took off my shoes, took them in my hands, ran downstairs to the backyard, and escaped through the back door.
Along the way, he met the brigade of Wuhou, the corners of his mouth pulled out sarcasm, and he returned to Xiuzhenfang at speed. Seeing Qian Shun and Pinglang, they made an OK gesture, and the two of them replied with a thumbs up gesture. Walked into the backyard wing, plugged in the door, and began to whisper.
waited until dusk, but still didn't see the big guy come back, and the three of them were anxious. In the end, they reached an agreement to tell Mrs. what happened today. Let her find Cui Gong and the Yang family to inquire about the situation in the palace, but don't make any extraneous branches.
Their worries did not happen, and at this moment, the west inner hall of the palace was nervous and happy. Li Jiu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Li Tao and the eldest grandson Wuji all closed their eyes and said nothing. If you look closely, Brother Wuji's goatee is trembling slightly. General Hou Wei looked at the sky, Yu Zhining looked at the ground, and Wu Kang knelt on the ground and was silent.
The eldest grandson Chong was covered in bandages, his head was swollen into a pig's head, and his eyes were full of tears. Li Jingye was grief-stricken, recounted the situation at the time, added fuel and vinegar, and burst into tears. Halfway through, Li Tao's beard also trembled slightly. Li Jiu immediately stopped it, let Wu Kang get up, and asked lightly: "Wu Aiqing, why are you looking for Changsun Chong?" ”
Wu Kang replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is looking for the eldest grandson eunuch for Wu Zhaoyi." My aunt visited the lieutenant several times, but she was sternly refused, and she was depressed all day. I went to the eldest grandson and begged him to say a few good words for Zhaoyi in front of the captain. ”
The voice fell, and he snorted coldly, and the source of the sound was Changsun Wuji. Li Jiu's face was slightly good, his eyes flashed with approval, and he looked at Changsun Chong: "What Wu Kang said, is it true?" Is what Li Jingye said true? When you go to Lulin Restaurant, do you plan to accept Wukang? ”
After a few questions in succession, the eldest grandson Chong was stunned, endured the pain all over his body, and burst into tears: "Back to Your Majesty, what Wu Kang said is true. But when the minister went to the appointment, he didn't promise anything, he just wanted to see "Duck Head Pill Post". After we met, we chatted a few words, and we were not used to drinking red sorghum, and soon got drunk. ”
Li Jiu looked at General Hou Wei, who hurriedly clenched his fists: "After investigation, and asked the housekeeper of the eldest grandson eunuch, what the two said is true." Wudu Governor looked for Xu Shangshu, bought the ink treasure offered by the king, and sent someone to give it to the eldest grandson. Falsely claiming that there was still Mobao, he asked the eldest grandson to meet, and the eldest grandson also agreed. ”
Signaling General Hou Wei to retreat, Li Jiu asked Changsun Quan again: "After you met, what did you talk about, how much wine did you drink, and when did you get drunk?" After getting drunk, does Aiqing remember it, and has she ever insulted Sikong? ”
The eldest grandson thought for a long time, and cried with a sad face: "Your Majesty, after we meet, we will drink two cups of etiquette." Knowing that there was no "Duck Head Pill Post", it was not good to leave immediately, and after drinking five or six cups, he became unconscious. The minister can guarantee that he did not speak disrespectfully, Li Jingye slandered the minister, and begged His Majesty to call the shots! ”
Li Jingye was not convinced, and Li Tao coughed dryly to stop it. Brother Wuji turned around and looked at Li Jingye: "Chong'er has always been humble and will not hurt people, this matter is too coincidental, there must be something strange in it." The so-called seeing is believing, and hearing is false, since it is eavesdropping, it is not enough evidence. ”
Li Jiu summoned General Hou Wei again, and the latter told the truth: "Hou Wei carefully inspected the room, and there was no third person haunting, and there was no secret passage in the secret room. Dali Temple is not handsome, carefully compare the footprints, and no third party was found. The person who sold the mirror has been found, and after being interrogated by Dali Temple, the mirror was picked up. ”
When Wu Kang heard this, he felt uncomfortable, that brother, he didn't suffer less. Don't listen to Pinglang's advice, don't kill people, just because you trust your brother. Thinking of this, I was secretly sorry, and respectfully announced: "That treasure mirror is for my sister, I lost it yesterday, and I have reported it to Hou Wei." Now it was bought by Brother Li, it was Brother Li's, and I went back to cancel the case. ”
At this point, everyone also believed that the eldest grandson Chong lost his words after drinking and was broken by Li Jingye, so there was a tragedy later. Li Jiu had a headache, raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhining, and said lightly: "Yu Aiqing thinks, how to deal with it?" ”
Yu Zhining wanted to scold his mother, a hot potato. Involving two bigwigs, how else can you deal with it, it's a big deal. After pondering for a moment, he decided to make peace with the mud, and respectfully hugged his fists and said: "The eldest grandson is drunk and lost his words, Li Dalang shot too hard, and the lower officials thought..."
