Chapter 36: The Two Great Traitors

Liu Hao felt that Xiaoyaozi had something to say, so he asked Lilac to go to the next room to take care of Baguio and them. Then he swallowed the preserved fruit in his mouth and said to Xiaoyaozi: "It's much better, it's just that this medicine is too bitter, but this stimulation has made me sober up a lot." Because of the matter of my Liu family, you are not at peace, and I am really ashamed! ”

Xiaoyaozi smiled when he heard this: "Uncle Shi don't want to be like this." When the news came from Xinxiang, Poor Dao had already come to the house with all the sons and listened to a few sons. Usually you are like your own brothers, but now when you encounter this kind of thing, who will sit idly by? If it weren't for Poor Dao and Mr. Weide to stop you, those sons would have crossed the Yellow River to meet you. ”

After a pause, Xiaoyaozi continued: "When Shigongxi went to Chang'an, he once told Poor Dao about the masked daughter in the carriage, and when the holy decree arrives, don't let her go to the front yard, such royal matters, sometimes cannot be decided by the royal family. When Uncle Shi is successful in the future and can confront the family, His Majesty will definitely give you an explanation. ”

Liu Hao sat up after hearing this: "Is there anything else going on in this matter?" Who is Baguio's father? At that time, Princess Taiping no longer asked about the world, why did Li Longji give her to death? Liu Hao mentioned the mother-in-law who was famous in history, and he was a little scared unconsciously.

Xiaoyaozi listened to Liu Hao's words and quickly made a silent gesture, and whispered to him: "Uncle Shi, you don't want to die?" His Majesty's name is not mentioned casually. Back then, Emperor Wu killed so many people, and Princess Taiping was her daughter, of course, there were ministers who wanted to get rid of her, and then it was too fast, and His Majesty's foundation was not stable back then, so he had to do it. It is said that those family lords are really hateful, and since Emperor Wu returned to heaven, he has become more and more fond of interfering in court politics. ”

Then he attached himself to Liu Hao's ear and said: "As for the biological father of the Baguio girl, it should be a certain face of Princess Taiping." As for why she valued it so much, Poor Dao listened to Shigong because Princess Taiping believed in a religion similar to Buddhism at that time, and it is said that this religion is quite mysterious, and it was secretly created by the remnants of the previous dynasty, under the pretext of Maitreya of Buddhism to develop believers. Shigong visited for more than ten years but did not find their nest. ”

"Damn! Maitreya? Isn't this the predecessor of the White Lotus Sect? Liu Hao stood up excitedly, and his voice was much louder, and before he could finish speaking, he was covered by Xiaoyaozi: "Uncle Shi, don't make a noise!" ”

When Liu Hao sat down, Xiaoyaozi continued: "Back then, Princess Taiping secretly borrowed the assassins of the Maitreya Sect to listen to information in order to calm the rebellion after Wei and His Majesty. It is said that Princess Taiping promised the other party to have another daughter to be a saint for them at that time, which was just a casual remark, but who would have thought that she was really pregnant, and finally gave birth to a girl. That is Princess Taiping already knows the details of this mysterious power. Coupled with the fact that the family members jointly put pressure on His Majesty, Princess Taiping chose that ending. ”

Liu Hao closed his eyes, and his mind was like a pot of eight-treasure porridge. What the is going on? Why did Maitreya pop up? Princess Taiping and Li Longji fought with Wei Houji, and they actually had to rely on the power of the cult, did Lao Tzu travel through the wrong place or was the history of the previous life a novel written by a few boring people?

Xiaoyaozi saw that Liu Hao didn't speak, and said in his ear: "At that time, Empress Wei had the support of several major families, and Jin Wuwei was also controlled by Empress Wei's family. So this choice is also helpless. However, the master said that Maitreya's religion has also probed some eyebrows. That group of people is just acting secretively, with the purpose of causing trouble to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Its main means are assassination and the like, and its power is not very strong. If they can find their lair, they don't need to be helped, and the people in the poor Dao Temple can kill them in one pot. ”

A litter to end up? You don't know how crazy a fanatic can be. Liu Hao was about to say something, there were footsteps outside, Yan Zhenqing and Wang Wan pushed the door in, Wang Wan asked Liu Hao as soon as he entered the door: "How does Zhicai feel now?" Now that everything outside is ready, a few soldiers have just come to inform them, and the Qin Messenger will come to deliver the decree in a short time. Hurry up and change your clothes and freshen up, don't be rude. ”

Waiting for Liu Hao to pack up his mind full of questions, he went to the mourning hall in the front yard with the support of Lilac and Ling'er to wait for the holy decree. All the gentlemen who were good friends with Liu Hao were there, and one by one they were wearing filial piety clothes and were busy greeting the neighbors who came to mourn. Xiaoyaozi set up the incense table in front of the mourning hall, flying up and down with a sword in one hand, doing tedious ancestral rituals.

When he finished his work, Liu Hao, as a filial son, first kowtowed to his ancestors, and then thanked Xiaoyaozi and the neighbors who came to mourn according to the etiquette Wang Wan said. At this time, I heard a shout outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived!" Then a group of people walked in, the first of them dressed in a purple robe, with a white face and a long beard, and probably in his forties. Looking at that dignified appearance, I think I was a handsome guy when I was young.

"Oops! It was actually Li Zhongcheng who came, do you remember the poor road? As soon as Xiaoyaozi saw this person, he immediately greeted him.

Wang Wan whispered beside Liu Hao: "This person's name is Li Linfu, the imperial history of the dynasty. Yesterday, I heard from my colleagues that the person who delivered the decree this time was a high-ranking official, but I didn't expect it to be this person. ”

Li Linfu? This is the famous traitor Li Linfu in history? Liu Hao felt that his brain was short-circuited all of a sudden, how could he be this big traitor? The Luoyang County Commander is his person, is it because he wants to save him this time?

Li Linfu walked slowly to the front of the mourning hall, and solemnly bowed to the tablet of Liu Hao's ancestors.

The deceased is big, and the etiquette of the ancients is really thoughtful, but this does not reduce Liu Hao's vigilance against him, and the history books say that this person is a honey-bellied sword and a sinister villain. After worshipping, he came to Liu Hao, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the eldest man of the Liu family was actually a beautiful young man, and it happened that the incense case and candlesticks were all ready, ready to receive the order." ”

The ancient holy decrees were all written in the pun style, which was catchy to read, and Liu Hao knelt down and listened to it drowsily. In his previous life, Liu Hao's level of ancient literature was not bad, but in this way, he only listened to a rough idea, which roughly means that he praised Liu Hao for his young and promising talents, and ordered Liu Hao to enter Beijing on the same day.

As soon as the holy decree was recited, Xiaoyaozi said: "I am afraid that it is not possible to enter the Beijing to face the saint, firstly, I will be filial piety, and secondly, the poor Taoist uncle is in poor health, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go west if I can't get to Xijing." ”

Li Linfu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's will is like this, and so-and-so is also acting according to the order." The implication is that Liu Hao must be brought to the capital.

Xiaoyaozi's face suddenly became a lot gloomy, and he was about to say something more, only to hear another shout outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

This holy decree made everyone stunned, including Li Linfu, who also looked confused.

There was a rush of footsteps at the door, and a group of guards walked in with a middle-aged man in tow. The man at the head is not tall, but he looks very powerful, like a general.

He smiled when he saw Li Linfu: "Didn't Gonumo just read the holy decree?" Haha, the old fairy who hasn't been seen for many years after you left actually appeared, and His Majesty personally issued an order, and he won the position of this angel. ”

Li Linfu took a few steps forward and bowed: "I knew that the senior internal supervisor was coming, and it was boring to be bored." ”

Here, Xiaoyaozi is also a floating dust, and he performed a Taoist etiquette: "Don't come to the high inner prison?" I haven't seen it for a few years, and this belly is getting bigger and bigger. Ha ha! ”

This person also laughed when he heard it: "The Taoist chief is really funny when he speaks, although he has a big belly, he pretends to be loyal to His Majesty." However, I haven't seen the Taoist for a few years, and I want to come and cultivate more and more diligently. ”

The two of them were playing haha, Liu Hao didn't understand a word, but Liu Hao's social circle surprised Liu Hao, a Taoist priest actually knew the ministers and eunuchs. came to deliver the message, this person did not speak without the shrill voice of the eunuch in the film and television works, if it weren't for the sentence Liu Hao, the senior internal eunuch, who would have thought it was.

Wang Wan pulled Liu Hao's sleeve: "I think this person is the powerful eunuch chief Gao Lishi, and that Li Linfu was able to have a place in the court because of him." ”

Liu Hao was shocked: Day! Just came a big traitor Li Linfu, but I didn't expect a big eunuch Gao Lishi to pop out in just a few minutes, wasn't he the one who strangled the little chubby girl to death in history? The traitor Yang Guozhong was also killed by his order. For Gao Lishi, Liu Hao didn't know what to say, saying that he was a traitor, but the starting point of his work was to be loyal to the emperor, especially when he heard the news of Li Longji's death in his later years, he vomited blood and died.

I can receive two decrees in one day, and it is estimated that few people in the past and present have been able to do this. When everyone was on their knees, the great eunuch began to read the decree.

This time, the holy decree lost the gorgeous rhetoric and the style of the four and six, and it was as straightforward as the vernacular, and gave Liu Hao a loose official who rode the lieutenant, and rewarded him with some money. Luoyang County ordered the father and son, Taixi and the master who led people to attack the heavens and the earth, and the rest of the family members were enslaved forever, exiled to the Anxi Protectorate, and all the family property was confiscated. Wang Wan became the lord of Luoyang County, and the post of county commander was arranged separately.

What Liu Hao didn't expect was that Lu Yue actually helped him arrest a few people from Luoyang County last time, and he was actually promoted and became the captain of Qipin.

After the decree was read, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, just because of the slap, this was too ruthless.

Liu Hao couldn't help but have infinite admiration for the old guy. With such a big stroke, it is estimated that he can do it.

After receiving the holy decree, Gao Lishi looked at Liu Hao with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is also ready to give marriage to the Liu family, but unfortunately now the Liu family is filial piety, I am afraid that it will have to wait for a while." ”

Marriage? What kind of marriage is given? Want to marry the princess to yourself? Liu Hao smiled wryly, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, one or two are very keen on extramarital affairs, isn't this to find excitement for themselves? Thinking of this, Liu Hao suddenly felt that his head was green.
