Three Jin and two Wei dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Since Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the equalization system, supported dependent peasants to establish households and divide land, and restricted ordinary landlords from using slaves, so that agriculture could be restored and developed, thus making it possible to revive the handicraft industry, the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty has gradually strengthened.

The 19-year-old Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Jun set up internal and external officials, nominally responsible for the imperial family's diet and daily life, but in fact supervised the Cao, prefectures, and towns for the emperor. Hundreds of civil and military officials accepted bribes and stolen goods, and the cloth reached two zhang, and they were beheaded.

Probably the sense of crisis in the emperor's throne, the emperor always has to find a way to see if the courtiers under him are secretly saying bad things about themselves, so Qin has a black ice platform, Han has embroidered clothes, Cao Wei has a school office, the Northern Wei Dynasty has internal and external officials, the Ming Dynasty in later generations has Jinyiwei, East and West Factories, and the Qing Dynasty has blood droplets and sticky rods. It can be seen that the secret service was involved in all dynasties. To Emperor Wen of Sui usurped the throne of Zhou, the internal and external officials continued, Wang Xi always thought that the Tang Dynasty's spy agency was the hundred cavalry division that had been rumored, but he didn't expect that it was the internal and external officials of the Sui Dynasty, and he didn't expect that Ouyang Yin, the dignified prince of Nanhai County in the Tang Dynasty, would be Li Er's private eagle dog.

Wang Xi looked at the direction of Taiji Palace, for more than two months, the foreign waiting officer personally went out to test it, no matter what the result was, I believe that it won't be long before Li Er will dispose of himself.

Taiji Palace, Mingde Palace

Killing his brother and imprisoning his father, maybe he didn't think it was necessary, Li Er didn't abolish Li Yuan in the end, but he was only respected as the emperor, and he didn't drive him out of the Taiji Palace, and he also earned a good reputation for filial piety for himself, and what Li Er lacked most at the moment was reputation, after all, the influence of killing his brother and imprisoning his father was too bad.

The Taiji Hall could not be used, and Li Er could only temporarily use the Mingde Hall of the East Palace as a place for courtiers to discuss politics.

In the Mingde Palace, Li Er frowned and reviewed the folds, the new Ninth Five-Year Plan, the rebellion has not been eliminated, the old party of the prince inside and outside the government and the opposition, Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, Li Er's current situation can be described as difficult.

After a long while, Li Er raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yin, who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Has the foreign waiting officer contacted that Guigu heir?" ”

Ouyang Yin gave a salute and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since Wang Xi entered the Mansion of the State of Residence, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family have all gone to send a post, but they have all been resigned by the Duke of Su Guo, in the opinion of his subordinates, this move just shows that Wang Xi is not a means laid down by the two families, otherwise he should not take the initiative to contact at this time, arousing suspicion." The foreign officials visited the people who came into contact with Wang Xi in Zhangjiazhuangzi in Jingyang County, but they got very little, because the Turks suddenly betrayed and plundered that day, Zhangjia Zhuangzi and the neighboring Xujia Zhuangzi were slaughtered, and it was only found out that Wang Xi was adopted by a butcher in Zhangjiazhuang, and his biological parents and origin are unknown. ”

"Humph!" Li Er said fiercely: "Turkic, one day sooner, I will definitely be so humiliated!" ”

After Li Er's emotions calmed down a little, Ouyang Yin continued: "The minister learned from the mouth of the survivors of Xujiazhuang that Wang Xi once treated the injury of a young man in Xujiazhuang, and Qin Huaiyu, the righteous son of Yiguo, was also on the spot. The minister also found out that Wang Xi had repaired a letter that day, and asked Qin Huaiyu to hand it over to the Duke of Yiguo, the letter was unknown, without His Majesty's personal order, the minister did not dare to privately inspect the Mansion of the Duke of State, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins. ”

Li Ersi paid: "That's it, Yiguo Gong has made great contributions to the country, don't be disturbed, and when I have a chance in the future, I will personally inquire and tell me what you think of this Guigu disciple." ”

Ouyang Yin said: "The minister took advantage of the courtiers to welcome Dr. Wen Yanbo back to the court today, Su Guogong is not in the mansion, the name of the fake Guiguzi is tempted, and he didn't see anything wrong, but the minister always feels that Wang Xi saw through the identity of the minister for another reason, as for whether he is really the heir of the Guigu, the minister dare not assert!" ”

Li Er got up, shook his legs and feet, which were a little numb due to his long kneeling, and said loudly: "It's okay, I can even pardon Xue Wanche, who attacked and killed me in Xuanwumen that day, and also ordered him to lead the right army, how can I be afraid of a child who has not grown up?" Summoned, tomorrow morning, after the court, King Xuan Xi will come to see me, let me also see what kind of demeanor the disciples under the Guigu Sect are! ”

In the evening of the same day, Wang Xi received a warrant to enter the palace to see him, there is no Fengtian carrier on TV, and there is no need to put any incense case, Wang Xi is a grass citizen, if there is an official position, he doesn't even have to kneel down, the warrant is very simple, a little eunuch with clear eyebrows opened and read a sentence: "The Tang Emperor's order, the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang in Jingyang County will enter the palace tomorrow to see him." Chin this. After that, he handed the edict to Wang Xi and said: "Your Majesty's special decree, Xiao Langjun first arrived in Chang'an, it is inconvenient to travel, tomorrow the slave maid will bring the frame in the palace to welcome Xiao Langjun into the palace, and Xiao Langjun will rest in the Guogong Mansion." ”

Hearing that Wang Xi was finally summoned by Li Er, the Suguo Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief, the Duchess of Guo took the little grandfather Cheng Chumo personally sent a brand-new robe, and carefully explained to Wang Xi the matters that should be paid attention to when meeting His Majesty, Cui's has been silent since the murder of his father-in-law Wang Qi, and after Wang Xi thanked the Duchess of Guo, he instructed with tears in his eyes: "Xi'er, A-Niang knows that you have a university question, but the royal family has been with you like a tiger since ancient times, remember to be cautious in words and deeds, A-Niang can't help you anything, you can only pray for peace in your heart." ”

Wang Xi's nose was sore, and he had to be comforted at the moment, Xiaoxiao'er had lost his former agility and liveliness since his father was killed, and he was holding his brother's thigh and sobbing softly at the moment.

Wang Xi didn't notice that the Duchess of Su Guo looked at Cui's eyes a little strangely when she left.

Early the next morning, Wang Xi and his stepmother and Xiaoxiao had a morning meal early, and did not wear the expensive robe given by the Duchess of the Kingdom, Wang Xi only wore a white dress, and boarded a pair of linen shoes sewn by Cui's own hands, carefully cleaned his mouth, and Cui's helped tie his hair very seriously. It's not that he has any prejudices about the Suguo Mansion, but Wang Xi feels that this dress is in line with his identity as a hermit in the deep mountains.

Before the hour arrived, the housekeeper came to inform him that yesterday's little eunuch was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, and the stepmother took Xiao'er and the cheap brother Cheng Chumo to personally send them out of the mansion.

Chang'an City has a strict curfew system, the cities are separated by walls, and the mansions of non-third-grade adults and above are not allowed to open the doors on the wall of the fang, as Li Er's hardcore subordinates Cheng Biting Jin is no problem, the little eunuch kneels in the carriage, a groom drives, four guards accompany him, Wang Xi looked curiously at Chang'an City outside the carriage, through the doors of some markets, you can see that some restaurants in the fang are selling some food such as Hu cakes, there are not too many pedestrians on the street, and they didn't go far, so they turned to a square • Wang Xi really thought it was a small square at first, The little eunuch smiled and explained before he understood that this was the famous Suzaku Street.

Not long after entering the imperial city, he walked a short distance, and arrived in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, Ouyang Yin, who was dressed in bright armor, stood in front of the door with a knife, and when Wang Xi got off the horse, he beckoned: "Xiao Langjun, we meet again." ”

Wang Xi looked at Ouyang Yin, who was a little dazzling in the sun, and said with a smile: "Ouyang Yin, seventeen years old, served as a famous man, and was rewarded today, serving as an envoy and Turkic, not worshipping the court, the court Jiazhi, returning, and sealing the prince of Nanhai County." I heard that the Duke of Langya County fought for half his life, and he made countless wounds, and he was awarded the title of Lord of the County in battle, and how easy it was for the Lord of Ouyang County to come by, Wang Xi had a lot of resentment in his heart, and now he saw that the dignified County Duke was only the duty of the palace gatekeeper, and he realized that the fortunate man and the meritorious general are finally a little different, what does Ouyang Gong think? ”

Ouyang Yin looked at Wang Xi with an ugly face: "Xiao Langjun is just summoned by His Majesty, so he is so arrogant and evil, aren't you afraid of reaping the consequences?" ”

Wang Xi laughed: "In the ninth year of Wude, in March, in the Turkic Koling Prefecture, Ouyang Yin, the Duke of the South China Sea, was a pedestrian, leading fifty people to cover the khan's tooth tent, plot to vent, and be detained by the captives. The public is Dingyuan for my Datang class, how dare Wang Xi be evil? Hahaha•••"

Ouyang Yin's face was completely overcast, and he leaned into Wang Xi's ear and said viciously: "Xiao Langjun remember to be cautious, don't fall into the hands of a certain family, a certain family is very much looking forward to discussing with Xiao Langjun what the Guigu family has about torture, I believe that Xiao Langjun's advanced knowledge will no longer be mysterious at that time." ”

The little eunuch on the side looked at Ouyang Yin and Wang Xi tremblingly, and couldn't help it anymore now: "If the two Lang Jun have something to say, we will talk about it later, if you delay Your Majesty's summons, the slave and maid can not afford to bear the crime." After that, he bowed and bowed to Ouyang Yin and Wang Xi.

Wang Xi snorted lightly and left with the little eunuch. Bluffing, Wang Xi must show a look of not entering to block all suspicions and temptations, otherwise all the lies he weaves will be easily caught by people with a heart, and it doesn't matter if he dies or not, it will be a catastrophe if he is involved with his stepmother and Xiaoxiaoer!
