Li Chun then issued an edict to summon Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling back to Beijing, and handed over the three legal divisions to discuss the crime, at this moment only five days from Wang Shuwen out of Beijing, Wang Shuwen's carriage and horse had not yet arrived in Luoyang, and when he heard the news, he knew that he could not escape death, so he committed suicide at the post station.

Not long ago, Wang Ling died of illness on the way to be demoted, and finally escaped.

Soon thereafter, there was a royal history of Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling's corruption and bribery, and Yousi found a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade in the wall of the old house of the two in Chang'an, totaling no less than 200,000 yuan.

The evidence of the crime was conclusive, Li Chun was furious, and ordered the two to open the coffin and kill the corpses, thinking that the subjects of the world would be punished.

Affected by this, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and others successively received new depreciation letters on the way to be degraded, and after thanking God, they silently packed their bags, went east to west, readjusted the direction, and embarked on a new round of degraded journey.

Wang Shuwen committed suicide in fear of crime, was opened in a coffin and killed, and his home was raided, and Wang Pu was also imprisoned and interrogated by Jingzhao Mansion on suspicion of assisting his father in accepting bribes.

Perhaps because of the poor food in prison or the fact that he had not drunk alcohol for a long time, Wang Gongzi was in a trance after being released from prison, and he actually fell into a street ditch on the way home and drowned.

After Chang'an County examined the corpse, it was reported that Wang Pu had cut himself off from the world. The first reason is that the street is wide and there are few pedestrians on the road, so they do not take the right path in the middle of the street, but prefer to choose the woods on the side of the street to walk through, so that they tripped over the roots of the trees and fell into the ditch. The second reason is that the water in the street ditch is only two feet deep at the beginning of spring, which is not enough to drown an adult healthy man.

To sum up, Wang Pu's misfall into the water was not an accident, but he was dissatisfied with the court's treatment of his father, and made a silent accusation with death.

The county decree quoted scriptures and asked the Son of Heaven to ask for the head of the owl to show the public.

The emperor said, "Although his father is guilty, his sin is not as good as that of his descendants." He may slander the court, but the court cannot kill without guilt. "Rejected the request of Chang'an County and ordered the local government to restrain the burial.

When the people heard this, they all praised the new emperor for his kindness and wisdom.

After Wang Pu's death, Li Mao made a special trip to the Qingniyi outside the city to see Tian Qian, Tian Mao asked Li Mao with a smile: "Did I have a conflict with you?" Li Mao said: "What do you mean by this?" Tian Qian said: "Whenever I meet you, I will never have anything good." ”

Li Mao said: "People fell into the water and drowned, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

Tian Qian said: "Do you know it in your heart, why bother to explain it to me." He sighed again: "I have married three times, but I can't marry three times, I'm afraid I don't have this blessing in my life." I plan to become a monk in the capital, do you think it is better for me to cut my hair and become a nun, or to take refuge in the Three Qings. ”

Li Mao said: "If the fate of the dust is not over, it is better to take refuge in the Sanqing, and it will be convenient to return to the vulgar in the future." ”

Tian Qian glanced at Li Mao and said quietly: "I really didn't expect it to be such an ending, it's really like a dream." ”

Li Mao said: "The dream has just begun. ”

Tian Qian became a monk in the Xuanzhen Temple of Chongrenfang, which is separated from the imperial city by a wall, and then moved to the Xuanzhen Temple of Yongchongfang in the east of Jing'an Fang, guarding the flower garden for the master. This is a very leisurely errand, the master of Xuanzhen Temple is not a person who loves flowers, she took a fancy to a piece of land in Yongchongfang, and wanted to take it for herself, so she built this flower garden.

Although the Emperor Taishang was also called "Long Live" by his ministers, like all emperors in the world, Long Live was just wishful thinking. Human life will eventually come to an end, and one day the lamp will run out, and shouting ten thousand times will not save the footsteps of the deceased.

In April of the first year of Yuanhe, Emperor Li Yu collapsed in Xingqing Palace.

Datang opened a new page, and Li Mao also started a new journey.

After Jia Tan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, paid homage to the prime minister, the position of Honglu Qing has been vacant, and Du Huangshang wanted Li Mao to take over this position, but Li Mao was not much interested. Hongluqing is one of the nine kings, although his power is seized by the inner court, his reputation is still there, and he still has an irreplaceable lofty position in the hearts of scholars and ministers.

Li Mao thought that he and the scholars and scholars were not all the way, and just plagiarizing Du Mu's poem and half a sentence was not enough to get into the circle of scholars and scholars and establish his tall image of Confucianism and erudition.

People are self-aware, and Li Mao feels that he still doesn't want to make that false name.

In addition to the word "name", Hong Luqing still has to do something, Li Mao has no experience as the principal of such a high-level yamen before, and it is second to be laughed at if he can't do well, isn't it a sin to delay the business of the corpse vegetarian meal?

Li Mao said to Du Huangsheng: "It's really not good, I'd better go back and be Shaoqing, I'll look at Honglu Temple for you for a while, and when you find a suitable candidate, I'll let Xian go." ”

Du Huangshang said: "What is this called, is there still a shortage of candidates for the dignified Hongluqing, there are many of them, I will let you come, is it ......?"

Du Huangshang glanced out of the door and said to Li Mao: "I just received the document from Shuofang, Huaixin Khan died violently, and his death is unknown, and now the internal strife is fierce. The Uighurs are important to my Datang, so I don't need to explain anything, I asked you to do this Hongluqing so that you have the opportunity to get in touch with this aspect of things. ”

Li Mao said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, I want to go to the grassland to see with my own eyes." ”

Du Huangshang pondered for a moment and said: "Since the fourth year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty, the Uighurs have been our vassals in terms of system, and according to the custom, our country only needs to send the adjutant of the Honglu Temple to the canonization ceremony of the Uighur Khan. ”

Li Mao said: "Shaoqing, the young eunuchs are all from the fourth grade, they have not been promoted or lowered, I don't feel wronged." ”

Du Huangshang laughed and didn't say anything more. The next day, Li Maofu was appointed as the Honglu Shaoqing, serving as the canonization envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and went to the Uighur court to perform the canonization ceremony on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

Before leaving, Li Chun summoned Li Mao to give a face-to-face lecture and said: "The Uighur Khanate has recently had frequent changes of thrones, and the lords have fought for power and profit, attacked and killed each other, and the internal friction was very huge. The Uighurs are strong and bad for me, and the decline of the Uighurs is not good for me. You should go to the desert, carefully spy on its reality and distinguish its factions, so as to be the basis for formulating diplomatic relations in the future. ”

Liu Xiguang brought a wooden box, Li Chun handed it to Li Mao, and said: "This is my filial piety to Princess Xian'an. ”

Princess Xian'an is the eighth daughter of Li Chun's grandfather Li Shi, and she is Li Chun's aunt in terms of seniority. After the death of the longevity Khan, according to the step-marriage system of the step-marriage, he remarried his son Zhongzhen Khan, and when the loyal Khan died, he remarried his son Fengcheng Khan.

In the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, Fengcheng Khan died of illness and had no children, and Tang canonized his prime minister as Huaixin Khan, and the princess married Huaixin Khan. In eight years, the princess married four husbands, ranging in age from sixty to fifteen, served four terms as a knight, and raised three children.

Now Huaixin Khan has died again, and the princess is widowed again.

Li Mao, the name of Princess Xian'an, has long heard of it, and admires this princess who married away from the grassland and made outstanding contributions to the diplomatic cause of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiaoru also yearns for this legendary princess, and shouts to go together, Li Mao said fraudulently: "The princess has lived in the desert for a long time, and she can't see her hometown. ”

Xiaoru said: "She really likes me, so I will stay and wait for her." ”

Li Mao nodded affectionately at Xiaoru's eyebrows and said, "Words count, if I really want to leave you, you are not allowed to cry." ”

"Don't cry, don't cry, the princess traveled thousands of miles of yellow sand for my Tang Dynasty, exhausted her efforts, and made compromises to seek perfection, in exchange for the Uighurs to form an alliance with my Tang Dynasty, contain Tibet, and make my people in western Beijing have peace for decades, such a great man I am willing to serve her all my life."

Li Mao looked at her and scolded: "I don't mean it, I really want to keep you, I don't know why you cry." ”

Xiao Ru shrank her head and giggled twice, and said, "You take me there, it's more convenient for me to go to see the princess." ”

Li Mao also had this intention, Princess Xian'an had lived in the desert for a long time, and she was the fourth Kedun, so she must have a large number of Uighur secrets, but because of this, the Uighurs must have been very closely monitoring Princess Xian'an, and Li Mao saw that she was definitely not as convenient as Xiaoru.

Li Mao left Beijing in early March, turned north, and came to Xiazhou one day, where Xia Suiyinjie envoy was stationed, Han Quanyi sent his nephew Yang Huilin out of the city to greet him, Li Mao took a look at Yang Huilin, praised his elegance and demeanor, and was a Confucian general.

Yang Huilin is in her early thirties, with a white face and red lips, she does have some elegant temperament, and he himself is also willing to mix with literati and scholars. After listening to Li Mao's praise, Yang Huilin was overjoyed.

Han Quanyi greeted him out of the city, the etiquette was solemn, and after the meeting, he asked Li Mao about the movement in Beijing, and Li Mao didn't hide anything from him, Han Quanyi asked tentatively: "The old man is old, and he can't bear the wind and frost at the border, and if he wants to return to the dynasty to have a leisure, can Shaoqing recommend it on his behalf." ”

Li Mao said: "The old handsome Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, and he is powerful in Xirong, how can he easily say that he will return to the dynasty, and he will never be able to do it." ”

Han Quanyi smiled: "I'm old, I have to take it." Yang Huilin was introduced to Li Mao and said: "This is my unworthy nephew, I have always been raised as a son, rough and embarrassed, and I will ask Shaoqing to take care of me in the future." ”

Li Mao said: "How dare you, how dare you, General Yang can be civil and martial, he is a rare generation of Confucian generals in the army, and it is none other than a general who will inherit the mantle of the old handsome in the future." ”

Han Quanyi said happily: "Maohua really sees it like this, the old man can thank you first." ”

After the banquet, Li Maoluo lay down and rested for a while, turned over and bullied Xiaoru, Xiaoru refused: "What are you doing, don't you want to die, you have walked so far, you have drunk so much wine, and you still have to." ”

Li Mao lowered his voice and said, "Don't do it, you have to ask for it." ”

After speaking, he pointed to a screen in the room, Xiao Ru screamed out in surprise, and Li Mao shouted: "What is it called, it's not the first time, it's hypocritical." After speaking, he hugged Xiaoru, and after a burst of chaotic kissing without a head or face, he whispered in her ear: "The wall has ears, pay attention to cooperation." ”

Xiaoru wanted to ask how to cooperate, but the close-fitting clothes had been torn apart by Li Mao. Xiaoru resisted: "No, it's disgusting." Li Mao said: "At most, he has a good time, and he can't see it." Xiaoru said: "That's not good." ”

Li Mao laughed loudly: "Little lady, this can't do this, that can't do it, how are you going?" ”

Fighting hard, Xiao Ru screamed, and her cheeks suddenly turned red. She wrapped around Li Mao's body like a vine, refusing to leave for a moment, lest she be seen by the eye hidden in the dark. (Dissertation College)
