In February of the eighth year of Bao, Wang Zhonghei committed the crime of privately constructing the East Palace and attempting to commit rebellion and was beheaded by the third half, but Ge Shuhan, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, begged bitterly in the court, his words were generous, and his tears were down, and he was willing to redeem him with an official, and the Tang Emperor Li Longji was finally moved by his sincerity, and exempted Wang Zhonghei from the death penalty and was demoted to Hanyang Taishou.

Then he appointed Ge Shuhan as the school inspector Hongluqing, regent Shi Zhongcheng, Longyou, Hexi Jiedu envoy and Xiping Taishou, Ge Shuhan finally replaced Wang Zhonghe, and became a feudal official, and at the same time his intercession for Wang Zhongsi also made him win an excellent reputation in the army.

But the conclusion of Wang Zhongsi's case is just a beginning, on the second day after Wang Zhongsi was deposed and left Chang'an, a bombshell that was enough to change the history of the Tang Dynasty exploded in the sky over Chang'an, the crown prince Li Heng was abolished with a heart of disobedience, moved out of the East Palace, and moved back to the original Zhongwang Mansion, this news immediately swept the whole country, shocked, sighing, ecstatic, indifferent, all kinds of expressions intertwined on the faces of different people, and the Tang Dynasty situation has since moved towards an unstable era.

The sharp copper whistle echoed in the sky above Leyouyuan, and in the middle of the night, a black dot appeared in the air, and gradually the black dot magnified, it was a vigorous falcon, it swooped straight to the master on the ground, about five feet from the ground, and the long wings were retracted, and landed steadily on the body of a man in his thirties, the young man's eyes showed a look of intoxication, and he hurriedly took out a piece of jerky and fed it to the falcon, and then stroked the eagle's neck lovingly, as if caressing the snow-white skin of the beloved woman.

At this moment, a fast horse rushed up from the side, and immediately a long-faced man of the same age raised his whip and laughed. "Brother Wuji, how is this eagle?"

This young man is Zhang Qiu Wuji, the son of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, he was originally the chief secretary of Xinping County, Ningzhou, and his four-year term of office expired, and he was promoted to the chief secretary of Wugong County every year, and he was in the process of being appointed at this time.

The long-faced man is Cui Sadhuai, the son of Cui Qiao, the Qing of Guanglu Temple, three years ago. Cui Beihuai was transferred to the household department by Li Qing because of Cui Qiao's affection, and half a year later he was transferred to the prince Neifangcheng, although he was promoted to one level, but he was idle. He also likes to drink and play with women, so any idle job is contrary to his wishes, wandering the streets of Chang'an all day long, just because he has a great background, no one dares to care about him, his mother is the lord of the clan, his father is a high-ranking official in the court, his sister is the daughter-in-law of the right minister, and there is a layer of relationship that few people know, that is, his wife is Zhang Qiu and Qiong's niece. It is precisely because of this relationship that Li Qing entered Beijing that year. Zhang Qiu and Qiong ordered him to find Cui Qiao to introduce the prince.

And Zhang Qiu Wuji is white and fat, and his appearance is quite similar to his father. He has been taught very strict since he was a child, he is not allowed to laugh, he can't lead the wind, he is locked in the study all day long to practice and read, which also forms his depressed character, he has very few friends, and he also knows Cui Beihuai after coming to the capital, Zhang Qiu Wuji reluctantly returned the copper whistle and eagle to Cui Beihuai. He touched the eagle's back again, and said with a wry smile: "The eagle is naturally the best." But I have received my brother's heart, and my father will not allow me to take this eagle home, so I will return it to you! ”

"Brother Wuji is also thirty years old, when will he grow up?"

Cui Beihuai took the eagle, glanced at him and said, "Do you know what is being said about you outside?" said that you are a nerd, and it was all because of your father's shade that you were transferred to the capital. ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Qiu's face turned red: "I am in the middle and upper ranks every year, and I was promoted to the official of Jingxian County after four years, this is completely my own efforts, what does my father have to do?" ”

Cui Shuhuai patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "This is just the opinion of those stupid men and foolish women, it can't be true, if Wuji is a nerd, how can he let the girl who is unparalleled in singing and art have a unique affection yesterday, now that it is past noon, it is better for us to go to Tianxiang Building." ”

Referring to Nian Nu, the head of the four famous prostitutes in Chang'an, Zhang Qiu Wuji's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "I was scolded by my father when I went home last night, and he ordered me to go home for dinner tonight, so I won't go, and my brother will go alone!" ”

Cui Sadhuai's eyes flashed with an imperceptible discoloration, he took out a silk silk from the leather bag he carried, and said with a smile: "The inn is green and willow-colored, whose thing is this?" ”

Zhang Qiu Wuji was stunned for a moment, and he stammered: "This is the silk silk of the Niannu girl, why is it in your hands?" ”

Cui Shuanghuai stuffed the silk silk to him, and said with a smile: "You refuse to report your name and house, her maids are all over the city to inquire about your details, and finally I have no choice but to give me the handkerchief and ask me to transfer it to you, what kind of goods am I, how can Miss Niannu take a fancy to me?" ”

Zhang Qiu Wuji stroked the smooth silk scarf, the tenderness in his eyes was infinite, at this moment, the remembrance of the falcon in his heart had given way to the longing for the beautiful flowers.

His waist gradually straightened, and Zhang Qiu Wuji ignored his father's strict orders and resolutely said, "Let's go!" Let's go to Tianxiang Building. ”.

"Return to Huang Dansi, and return to Lang. Return to Huang Danbai, where to ask for Lang? I can't say anything in my heart, and I will redo the wheel spinning. When I knew Lang, I was afraid that people would hear about it. ”

The gentle and affectionate singing still echoes in Zhang Qiuwuji's ears, Xiao Qiao's posture and gentleness are like water, and his smile makes him fascinated, and a grudge and a sigh make him haunted by his dreams.

The weak and boneless jade finger pressed on the back of his hand, "The concubine's heart is like ice jade, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Zhang Qiu Wuji gently stroked the back of his hand, savoring the cold and delicate taste, and muttered, "I do, of course I do, but. Cui Wai's ridiculous laughter echoed in his mind again: "Zhang Qiu has that heart, but he doesn't have that courage, with his father, he can only be a negative man." Zhang Qiuwuji's hand couldn't help but grasp the chair cushion, and his knuckles were white.

At this time, it was already a watch, Wan Lai was silent, the carriage turned a corner, slowly stopped in front of the gate of Taipingfang, Zhang Qiu Wuji seemed to have just woken up from a dream, the gate of Taipingfang was closed, the coachman stepped forward to knock on the door, the gatekeeper recognized that it was the carriage on the ground of the Zuo Xiang's house, and they did not dare to stop it, quietly let the carriage slip into the door, and walked for a while, and slowly stopped in front of the gate of the house, the gate of Zhang Qiu's house had already been closed, he suddenly remembered his father's strict order in the morning, and he couldn't help but play a small drum in his heart, at this time the coachman came down and opened the door, and whispered: "Young master, Let's go through the back door! There's a locust tree over there that you can climb into. ”

Zhang Qiu Wuji hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly nodded, "Then the carriage will drive over directly." ”

Just as the carriage was starting, the side door suddenly opened, and a family member came out and beckoned: "Young master, the master is waiting in the hall." ”

Zhang Qiu Wuji's face turned pale, if his father waited in the study, there was still room for negotiation, but waiting in the hall would be the family law service, "Quick!" fast

Cui Mansion. He was so anxious that he urged repeatedly, but the coachman did not move, and said: "Young master, you don't know the temper of the master, you just accept your fate!" ”

"Accept your fate!" Zhang Qiu Wuji's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Nian Nu's resentful eyes, "Can the concubine only accept her fate?" ’

"Nope! I don't want to admit my fate," blood gradually poured up in his head, his pale face turned red, and a courage that had not been seen in twenty years grew in his heart, "Niannu, I'm going to discuss with my father, no matter what, I must marry you!" He pushed the door open, jumped out of the carriage, and strode toward the door.

At the same moment when Zhang Qiu Wuji was fighting against the woman he loved, in Li Linfu's study, the owner Li Linfu rolled his eyes at the ceiling, one hand gently stroked his huge nose, he glanced at the person in the corner, and said coldly: "Does he really like that woman?" ”

In the corner of the study, Cui Shuhuai, who had just broken up with Zhang Qiu Wuji, was standing with his hands down, cautiously peeking at Li Linfu's face, but was swept by the sharp gaze, and his legs trembled in fright, and he hurriedly responded: "His subordinates have used Pu Zhishu and used horses and falcons, and he is not tempted, but he has a soft spot for Tianxianglou's slave, and he should be moved by true feelings." ”

Maybe it was because of Cui Sad's hard work, or maybe it was because he thought of Cui Liuliu, who gave birth to a grandson for himself, Li Linfu's face gradually eased, and he smiled and said: "Nian Nu can be the top red prostitute in Chang'an, so she naturally has her ability." Zhang Qiu Wuji is in the prime of life, and it is normal to be difficult to resist, and what I care about is whether he can be willing to turn against his father for a bitch. ”

The high-flying Xiangguo actually spoke to himself in a consultative tone, Cui Beihuai suddenly felt dizzy and excited, he swallowed his saliva and stammered: "Mowgli, no!" Zhang Qiu Wuji grew up with his subordinates. His subordinates know him best, and remember that when he was twelve years old, he ran to the Wild Goose Pagoda to see the inscription of the Jinshi without his father's consent, and came home late, but was severely beaten by his father, and he ran away from home in a fit of anger for three days without returning, and finally his father relented. So don't look at him usually as timid as a rabbit in front of his father, but once he is more serious, his temperament will become fiery, and he is a completely different person, even ten cows can't pull it back. ”

Li Linfu smiled faintly, "That's why you dare to pat your chest in front of the prime minister?" ”

"Yes! The subordinates dare to guarantee that Zhang Qiu Wuji will definitely turn against his father for this woman this time. ”

"Well, I'll believe you once."

Li Linfu nodded, he took out a wooden box from the cupboard, handed it to Cui Shuanghuai, and said, "This is the land deed of 5,000 acres of land in Xinping County. You hand it over to that woman, as long as she has a way to get Zhang Qiu Wuji to sign and draw on it. I agreed to her request. ”

Cui Huaihuai's hand seemed to be burned by fire, and he took the wooden box at once. His heart was pounding, where was the title deed contained here, it was clearly Zhang Qiu and Qiong's talisman, he said in a trembling voice: "That subordinate has resigned." ”

Li Linfu slowly stepped forward, gently pressed Cui Huai's shoulder, stared into his eyes and said, "I have high expectations for you, don't let me down." ”

Cui was extremely excited in his heart, "Plop! 'Fall to your knees. He kowtowed heavily and wept: "Xiangguo's kindness." The subordinates are willing to report the grass ring! ”

"Go ahead! This image will remember you. ”

Li Linfu listened to Cui Sadhuai's brisk footsteps gradually disappearing, and a hint of a gloomy sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "Zhang Qiu, the old man's move is a move that you can't dream of!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=

In Suzhou, a manor on the south bank of Shihu Lake, Li Li, the son of King Qing, was discussing with Wang Daoshi a plan to assassinate Li Qing.

Maybe it's because of the close proximity to the lake, the room is very damp, the walls and roofs are faintly emitting a musty smell, the living conditions here are much different from the mansions in the city, but they are very safe, although the conditions are not good, but Li Li's mood these days is unusually brisk, the prince was deposed so that his father's hope of entering the East Palace has greatly increased, and he himself has seen the possibility of his own accession to the throne in the future, and now, how to assassinate Li Qing and successfully frame the Yongwang has become a top priority.

"Master, I'm only worried that after the 100,000 taels of silver appears, if Li Qing himself refuses to go and sends his men down, what should I do now?"

Wang Daoren is nominally Li Li's west seat, so Li Li has always respected him, this time Wang Daoren came to Suzhou to personally layout, King Qing gave him absolute command, including Li Li must also listen to his arrangement, the first step of his layout, is to disappear for a few days, so that Li Qing found nothing, so that his heart became anxious, and then bait, in the psychological advantage, and now the East Palace has changed, Li Qing must be anxious to return to Chang'an, the time is ripe.

"Little prince rest assured, Lao Dao has studied Li Qing's style of doing things, he likes to do it himself, and he has not been to Taihu Lake since he came to Suzhou, so I am sure that he will definitely go to check it out in person."

Li Li is still haunted by the failure of Yangzhou's assassination of Li Qing, and this time, he can't fail again no matter what, he must let his father take a look, Li Qing, who is as deep as the sea, finally died in his hands, he couldn't help but clapped his right fist and said fiercely: "I want to personally command this operation, and I must not let Li Qing live again." ”

Wang Daoren smiled, he walked up to Li Li and said seriously: "Duan, it's not our purpose, our purpose is to blame King Yong and clear the obstacles for the old prince to enter the East Palace, so it doesn't matter if Li Qing dies or not, the important thing is that the assassination incident should take place in Guo Changshi's mansion, he is the second uncle of King Yong, only in this way, even if he Li Qing does not die, King Yong will not be able to clear the suspicion of arson, does the little prince understand?" The delicate matter of competing for the crown prince only needs a little effort. ”

Li Li also felt that what the master said was reasonable, but he was still unwilling to say: "But Li Qing is not dead, and my father's hatred is hard to eliminate!" ”

Wang Daoren couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he laughed and squinted his eyes and said coldly: "When the old prince ascends to the throne, isn't it as simple as pinching an ant to death to kill him?" ”

Li Li suddenly realized, his frustrated heart just now became excited again, he stood up and said anxiously: "Then without further ado, let's start acting now!" ”
