Before Gaozu Li Yuan established the country, Liu Ping was just a soldier under Hou Junji's tent, and after Hou Junji's marching method broke his leg, he learned from the pain, rose up to make meritorious contributions, and finally became a county prince after the founding of the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In terms of qualifications, Liu Ping is not at all conspicuous in front of these famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, his name is not well-known until now, and in terms of the ability to be an official, he is actually very mediocre, otherwise it would never be possible to make such a low-level mistake when making amends to Li Su.

When Liu Ping said this, the eldest grandson Wuji's face and tone were not very good, and there was even a faint remorse in his heart, - how did he let such a fool hug his thigh? There are many people in the world who tend to be inflammatory, and they actually chose a pig teammate, which is really unfavorable......

To be able to become the No. 1 minister of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji's cultivation of the city government is naturally not shallow, although he is dissatisfied with Liu Ping in his heart, and even a little bored, but his face does not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and he is still expressionless.

"Li Su, you can't guess it with common sense, the old man has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen such a young man, he has made meritorious deeds and done things, Liu Xianhou, haven't you heard of it?"

Liu Ping lowered his head and said respectfully: "Of course I've heard of it, but it's just ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled coldly: "It's just that it's better to be famous than to meet, right?" At first glance, I think he is just a hairless young man, and he is kind and humble, and even looks weak and deceitful. ”

Liu Ping sighed, his face becoming more and more annoyed.

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted and said: "Liu Xianhou, the old man might as well tell you, looking at the powerful men of Chang'an, including the old man, no one dares to look down on Li Su, although this son is young, but what he has done is unparalleled in the world, many old people who have lived a lifetime are not comparable to him, if he was born thirty years early, he must be a hero who dominates the world, if he is the same age as the old man, even the old man is willing to bow to him, and dare not compete with him, and you Liu County Hou, hehe......"

These words were very polite, and Liu Ping also understood the unfinished meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, and even the current son and the prime minister of the dynasty regarded Li Su as a great figure very solemnly, which onion dare to despise him Liu Ping? Do you have that right to scorn him?

Liu Ping's face turned pale for a while when he heard this, but he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, so he could only listen honestly, and his expression became more and more remorseful.

The eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes, exhaled softly, and said: "There is one more thing that the old man might as well tell you, the old man is now the left servant of Shangshu Province, the prime minister of a supreme minister, and the right-hand man of His Majesty, do you know who Li Su will be in the future?" ”

Liu Ping shook his head in a daze.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "If the old man did not guess the holy will wrong, he will be the second eldest grandson Wuji of the future Tang Dynasty!" ”

Liu Ping was startled and looked at him in shock.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly: "Don't believe it, right?" The old man is getting older and older, there will always be a day when he will tell the old, and His Majesty is the same, the older generation of people are getting old, but the position cannot be vacant, so His Majesty is now slowly cultivating young capable officials, such as Pei Xingjian, Han Yuan, Laiji and other young people, but what His Majesty values most in his heart is Li Su. He often said to me that Li Su has a great talent in the world, but unfortunately his temperament is insufficient, and he still needs to be tempered. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head to look at him and said, "Your Majesty, you should understand what you mean, right?" To put it simply, Li Su is the prime minister candidate prepared by His Majesty for the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the second eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, Wuji, and the old man firmly believes that with Li Su's talent, as long as he is not so lazy, he will be able to create a more magnificent career than the old man in the position of prime minister......"

"Such an important person, it is already unwise for Lang to offend, and you, who came to apologize but still played this little trick, Liu Xianhou, the old man is really disappointed in you......"

Liu Ping was taken aback, the eldest grandson Wuji's words were really serious, from this point of view, Li Su really couldn't afford to offend, and even Liu Ping's backstage backers were not on his side, which showed that the matter was a bit serious.

Liu Ping hurriedly bowed down and said: "The lower official knows that he is wrong, and he also asks the prime minister to see that the lower official is not familiar with the world when he enters Chang'an, and help the lower official point a clear road, and the lower official is grateful." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head: "Ming Lu? If you do things to this point, the old man can't untie this knot, fortunately, Li Sufei is narrow-minded, as long as he doesn't offend him too hard, he usually won't take the initiative to retaliate against your ......"

With a flash of his eyes, the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him and said, "What's the matter with you and the Hou family?" Hou Junji has been exiled, and there are only some old and weak women and children left in Chang'an City, even if you had some grudges with Hou Junji back then, there is no reason to poison his family now, do you want to do it as a county marquis? Do you think Your Majesty really hated Hou Junji when he exiled him? ”

Liu Ping was startled again, and then the cold sweat on his forehead began to seep out.

Eldest Sun Wuji's gaze is getting colder and colder, this guy who takes refuge in him is really uneasy, and it seems that it is not only a lack of heart, it is simply a defective IQ, at this moment he can't help but regret more and more in his heart, why did he accept such a mental retardation in the first place......

Although Hou Junji was involved in Li Chengqian's rebellion, he was not deeply involved, and on the night of Li Chengqian's rebellion, he also took the initiative to kneel in front of the Taiji Palace to ask for guilt, His Majesty actually couldn't bear to ask for the guilt, but he was worried that the public would not be able to hide it, so he was exiled to Qiongnan, but His Majesty has been thinking about Hou Junji, the old man guessed that within five years, Hou Junji will inevitably be recalled to Chang'an and re-used, Liu County Hou, at this time, you take the Hou family's women and children, even if you are not afraid of Hou Junji coming back to retaliate, are you not afraid that Your Majesty will be angry after knowing it? Do you think Hou Junji will never be able to turn over in his life? ”

Liu Ping was in a cold sweat when he heard this, this mistake was much more serious than the mistake that offended Li Su, and he would lose his head if he didn't do it.

"Xiangye, Xiaguan, Xiaguan is just ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly and said: "That's it, fortunately, you are not seriously wrong, Ling Lang just beat Hou Jie, and was stopped by Li Su halfway, Ling Lang was also beaten by Li Su, even if Your Majesty knows, it will not be re-treated by you, but Liu County Hou, the old man wants to warn you, from today on, you Anping Hou Mansion must not have any provocation against the Hou family, especially to discipline your son, as for the reason, you are clear, if the Hou family has three long and two short, the first to trouble you is not Hou Junji, not Li Su, but today's son!" Do you understand? ”

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and nodding constantly.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, glanced at him dissatisfied, became more and more disappointed in Liu Ping, and secretly made a decision in his heart, this Liu Ping is not enough to lose, leaving him in his own camp is really a time bomb, whether it hurts people don't know, but it will definitely hurt himself, after today, let's abandon this one.

Then the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the eldest grandson Wuji sent Liu Ping away.

Seeing Liu Ping leave the front hall uneasily, Eldest Sun Wuji's face suddenly turned cold.

In front of Liu Ping just now, the eldest grandson Wuji has been speaking for Li Su, and he has also made it clear that he will not stand on Liu Ping's side, let alone help Liu Ping out, but ......

What Li Su did made the eldest grandson Wuji unhappy after all.

It's no problem to protect the Hou family, and it's no problem to conflict with the Anping Hou Mansion, but you send twenty troops to guard the gate of the Hou family day and night, with a desperate posture with the enemy, this ...... It's very problematic, it's impossible for you not to know that Anpinghou is standing behind the eldest grandson's family, so what do you mean by this? Who is it for? Don't take the slaughter quite a cadre, right?

Taking a deep breath, Eldest Sun Wuji's face gradually returned to his usual serious and upright appearance, but the discomfort in his heart grew bigger and bigger......

*****************************************************************

Chang'an City is never short of topics and excitement.

As a capital city with a population of more than one million, Chang'an is full of new things every day, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, they are pieced together, constituting the appearance of all beings in the world, even the monks can not get rid of the world, they also occupy a scenery in the picture of all beings, and ordinary people, are affected by the love and hatred in the red dust, only the golden body Bodhisattva in the temple sits in the temple, and looks at the sorrows and joys of all beings with compassion.

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji and Liu Ping thought that the last conflict had passed, something happened in Chang'an City.

This matter is related to the Hou family and the Hou Mansion of Anping.

The reason for the incident is very simple, last time Hou Jie was blocked by Liu Xian on the road and was almost abolished, and then Li Su met it, stopped this conflict, and couldn't bear to be bullied by his family, so he sent twenty subordinates to guard the door of the Hou family day and night, giving the Hou family a full sense of security, not only that, Li Su also sent rice noodles and silver money to the Hou family, ensuring the life of the Hou family's full of women and children.

With a sense of security, there is no shortage of money, Hou Jie, the son of the Hou family, was originally a prodigal son, rich and not afraid of being beaten, so he naturally resumed the happy life of buying drunk green buildings and laughing in the wine shop in the past under the guise of Li Su.

Of course, Hou Jie's approach is quite controversial, after all, the Hou family is in such a situation, and his father exiled Qiongnan to be released in a bad year, but when the family was in difficulty, Hou Jie continued to live the prodigal life of the past under the guise of Li Su, taking Li Su's money.

Happy times are always short-lived, and when Hou Jie was looking for pleasure and buying drunk prostitutes in Chang'an, something finally happened again.

Li Su sent twenty subordinates to guard the door of the Hou family, which was equivalent to releasing an obvious signal to the magnates of Chang'an City, the Hou family will be covered by Li Su in the future, but anyone who is not too lacking in heart and eyes, it is best to weigh whether he can afford to provoke Li Su before making trouble with the Hou family.

Regardless of whether there is a grudge with the Hou family, as soon as Li Su came forward like this, the magnates of Chang'an City really didn't make any moves against the Hou family, saying that they were afraid of Li Su, or that they were giving Li Su a face, in short, the Hou family was safe, and even Hou Jie thought so, he felt that he could probably continue to walk sideways in Chang'an City.

However, Hou Jie finally met the one who didn't have a long eye, or rather, he deliberately went at him.

One afternoon, just after a conversation with a dusty girl in the Qinglou, Hou Jie walked home satisfied, passing by a dark alley, Hou Jie was unexpectedly pulled in, and then ...... A violent beating, Hou Jie was beaten to cry dad and call mother, and even alarmed the Wu Hou patrolling the street, when the Wu Hou hurriedly came, the perpetrator was nowhere to be found, only Hou Jie was left in the alley lying on the ground wailing, unfortunately, his left leg was broken, the calf bone was bent softly at a strange angle, and Hou Jie wailed for a while and fainted in pain.

Hou Ming's affair was on the hot search headlines of Chang'an City on the same day. After all, the grudge between the Hou family and Anping Hou was just quelled by Li Su, and Hou Jie was still rubbing the headlines of the last incident, and something happened again in a few days, so he rushed directly to the first place on the hot search list.

Chang'an City has different opinions about Hou Jie's inexplicable attack, some say that it is the revenge of the Marquis of Anping, some say that Hou Jie is jealous of a certain gentleman in the Qinglou for the girl to fight with a certain gentleman, and some directly aim the spearhead at the eldest grandson Wuji, saying that the eldest grandson Xiangye killed chickens and monkeys, deliberately broke Hou Jie's leg to show Li Su, and warned Li Su not to meddle in his affairs, and not to get involved in the grievances between the Hou of Anping and the Hou family......

Anyway, Hou Jie is the victim, as the people in the market who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, they don't have any bias, and the various versions of the rumors spread by everyone have only one purpose, hoping that the plot will develop in the direction they want most, so Li Su and the Hou family were pushed to the forefront again, and the Changsun family and the Hou Mansion of Anping were also inexplicably detained in a basin, wanting to argue but couldn't, full of grief and indignation.

No matter what you say, in short, Hou Jie's leg has been broken, but the murderer is nowhere to be found. After Hou Jie was carried back to the Hou family by Wu Hou, Hou Junji's main wife, Hou Fang, immediately ordered the door to be closed, and the Hou family was not allowed to go out for a single step, and even the daily food was bought with the help of the Li family at the door.

After the incident, the Anping Hou Mansion, the Changsun Mansion, the Hou family, and the Li Su family. None of the four families on the cusp of the storm launched a servant to go to Chang'an City to refute the rumors and explain, but there was already an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City, and the attack on Hou Jie was slowly fermenting in the silent market, spreading at an incredible speed, or distorting and rendering.

It is said that on the day Hou Jie was attacked, the Changsun Mansion sent a servant to hurriedly take Anping Hou Liu Ping to the Changsun family, two hours later, Anping Hou Liu Ping, who was full of cold sweat and a sad face, hurriedly came out of the eldest grandson's house, his face was very ugly, full of anxiety and anger, obviously chatting with the eldest grandson Wuji was very unpleasant.

As for the Li family, of course, he didn't explain out loud, everyone knew that Li Su didn't need to explain anything, he was not an enemy of the Hou family, and he had no motive to harm the Hou family at all.

The strange thing is that the Hou family, as a real victim, it stands to reason that this is the time when the Hou family is crying and shouting, but it has been two days since the Hou family happened, and the Hou family is still closed and has not heard any movement.
