In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty (688 AD), heavy rain suddenly fell in Hegong County, Luozhou, and the outside of the small post house on the outskirts of the city was "booming!" Bang Dang! There was a quick knock on the door, and the old man was a little impatient, and shouted: "Coming, coming!" ”

He slowly walked over and opened the latch, the mottled cedar door made a piercing "creak" sound, the door opened, and there stood a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old at the door, with short hair, strange clothes, like a beard but no sleeves, and his feet were stepping on strange riding boots, soaking wet, drenched like a chicken in soup, he saw the old man, and immediately bowed: "Uncle, polite!" ”

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, he spoke the authentic Luozhou official dialect, and the old man's expression relaxed slightly, but he was still very serious, his eyes stared at the young man, as if he could see through it, and the young man's smile immediately became a little stiff!

"Is there a public test?" The old man said coldly.

"Uh...... Yes! Some! The young man hurriedly took out a piece of paper the size of an envelope from his bosom and handed it over carefully.

The old man took the things in his hand and looked at them carefully: "Yue Erlang......"

The old man's eyes are a little difficult, and he doesn't seem to be very literate, but his serious energy makes the young man really nervous.

The young man's name is Yue Feng, and this "public inspection" is not true to him, because he is not the "Yue Erlang" written on the official examination at all, and his real identity is actually a modern special forces.

He got lost in the jungle and accidentally fell into the abyss, and when he woke up, he was surrounded by strangers in Tang costumes, including an old woman with a kind face, who hugged him and cried very sadly.

Now he knows that the old woman is his mother, in addition to his brother and sister-in-law, and there is a younger sister in his family who was drafted into Luoyang Ziwei Palace two years ago, and there has been no news.

Yes, Yue Feng crossed into Yue Erlang in such a daze, and on the day of the crossing, he was temporarily conscripted into conscription, according to the Tang Dynasty's "Juntian Law", the male tax is the "rent and Yong" system, "rent" is the field rent, and the "tune" is to pay local specialties to the imperial court, generally silk, cloth, hemp, and "Yong" is to serve, each male needs to serve the country for 20 days a year.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the twenty-one man is Ding, Yue Feng is just eighteen years old this year, he is only a middle-aged man, in principle, he does not need to serve, but this time it is a special recruitment.

According to the law, in the case of Yue Feng, if he is conscripted for 20 days, he can be exempted from the rent of a household, which means that if Yue Feng completes the service period, his family's field rent and cloth and silk taxes can be reduced this year, which is definitely a great thing for ordinary farmers, so although the mother is reluctant to let Yue Feng serve, she still gritted her teeth and let Yue Feng serve......

"Ignorant Tian She'er, can you enter this place too?" The old man suddenly shouted, and he threw the "public inspection" in his hand in front of Yue Feng, his face full of disdain.

Yue Feng was instantly embarrassed, it turned out that only officials could enter the post station, Yue Feng's "public inspection" general wrote his origin and identity clearly, he was just a civilian, even if he was called up to serve, he was not qualified to enter the post house, and the strict rank of the Tang Dynasty poured a basin of cold water on Yue Feng.

It was pouring rain outside, and the sky was gradually getting dark, if Yue Feng had no place to rest, he would really have to spend the night in the wind and rain tonight, and when he was in trouble, a long laugh came from inside the post house: "Grandpa, let him come in!" In these years, it is not easy for everyone, so it would be good if we could have more helpers tomorrow! ”

Only then did the old man let go of half of his body, and his face was still serious: "For the sake of the faces of several martial marquis, let you rest for a night, rest noisy, and make trouble, otherwise you will be severely punished!" ”

Yue Feng was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and when he entered the post house, he saw four people talking with interest around a large brazier.

Look at these people, they are all wearing dark narrow-sleeved bearded clothes, wearing cyan hats, and knives on their waists, and they are really a few bad people in Wuhou. The Wuhou of the Tang Dynasty was also known as a bad person, equivalent to a small official who maintained law and order such as a piece of police, and their status was not high, and they were a little stronger than Yue Feng's "Tian Sheer".

Yue Feng stepped forward to greet them one by one, and several people were very enthusiastic, giving up their seats to Yue Feng, and shouting to let the old man of the post house cook a bowl of "Dumplings" for Yue Feng, which was actually a noodle soup.

"You know what? Recently, there is auspiciousness in Luozhou, it is said that there is a natural white wall with the eight characters of "Our Lady of the People, Yongchang Emperor", you say it is strange? It is said that this is a holy map bestowed by heaven, indicating that the queen of heaven will reign over the world......"

Yue Feng "chuckled" in his heart, and looked at the person who spoke, this person was about twenty years old, with a short figure, his appearance was not good, and his eyes were particularly flexible, giving people a sense of shortness and precision. This kid's surname is Zhu, and his name is Zhu En.

Why does this auspicious rui sound so familiar? Yue Feng's mind was spinning, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, thinking that before the empress Wu Zetian ascended the throne in history, Wu Chenghei Xianrui created momentum by finding a white stone and asking people to engrave words on it, and also decorated it with "purple stone miscellaneous medicine", so that people could dedicate it to Wu Zetian and pave the way for Wu Zetian to become emperor?

As soon as he thought of this, Yue Feng's hairs stood on end, and he instantly realized that the time he had crossed over turned out to be the most chaotic, complicated, dangerous, and turbulent time in the Tang Dynasty.

Wu wants to be the emperor, in order to sweep away Li Tang's resistance, she Guangxing cool officials, a big killing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are in the cool officials' "weaving" false accusations everyone is in danger, in this process in the court in the book, Menxia, Shangshu and other provinces of the prime minister was almost killed, and the Li Tang clan was killed by all kinds of princes, there are as many as 100 people, among which there are countless people who have been implicated.

That is to say, almost all the officials at all levels of the current court from top to bottom will be replaced in the next few years, and those officials who have been replaced will either be killed by cool officials or killed, and they can be regarded as the luckiest to be demoted and exiled! The Tang Dynasty under the shroud of cool official politics will soon be completely chaotic, and a bloody storm is about to come.

Hegong County, where Yue Feng is now located, is close to the eastern capital Luoyang, no wonder it feels like the law is so strict, it turns out that Wu Zetian is in full swing preparing to ascend the throne, and Luozhou naturally needs to maintain absolute stability!

It is said that now there are scholars and people in all states who are ready to write to the court and urge the queen to ascend the throne!" There is another bad humanity.

These people gathered around the stove and talked eloquently, and the one named Zhu En said: "But some people are trying to go against the sky, recently there is news from Luozhou, saying that the prince is a rebel Hao Xiangxian, and when he was about to be executed, he actually spoke falsely and exposed the secrets of the harem, which is really old and decaying, and deserves to be beheaded......"

He paused, and then said: "Brother, pay attention, it is said that this Hao Xiangxian case is very widely implicated, and there are many 'floating escapes' who have fled from Beijing recently. Perhaps our future glory and wealth will lie in these people! ”

"Hehe, Zhu Shilang thinks it's quite beautiful, where is the great credit so easy to take, cut off a head, and get ten dollars. Get a lifetime, and reward three silk horses! Tsk, Zhu Shilang, have you ever beheaded someone? ”

"Coax!" Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, and the old man leaned over with a gloomy face and said, "Bad people wait for silence!" Hugh disturbs the purity of the adults in the inn! ”

A few bad people only then relented, and at this time there were a few coughs from the post house, and a faint old man could be seen reading in the post house, looking at his green robe, wearing a soft foot, he was undoubtedly an official.

The hierarchy between the officials and officials of the Tang Dynasty is quite strict, and the small officials like bad people were originally not qualified to live in the post house, and it is also a special situation recently, and the post house is relatively free, so they were temporarily arranged to rest here.

Worried about disturbing the purity of the nobles, several bad people held down the conversation, just when the sky was already dark, and everyone had worked hard for a day, so they all rested around the stove and clothes, and after a while, several people fell asleep.
