In March of the first year of Zaichu, the training of thousands of horsemen was completed, and he went out to train with Zuo Yu Linwei every day, and the Empress Dowager Wu handed over the Xuanwu Gate to Wuqing to garrison, and Wu Qing had no choice but to set up a study and bedroom on the tower of the Xuanwu Gate, stationed in the Xuanwu Gate. The gates of the palace are guarded alternately by the left and right feather forest guards to protect the safety of the forbidden palace.

The Wuzhou Revolution is imminent!

Wu Qing knew that Empress Dowager Wu was going to put herself in a position of holding military power, so his heart moved, and he asked to review Zuo Yu Linwei's nine thousand soldiers to appease the courtiers.

On the Lichun platform, the Empress Dowager Wu was lying on the rattan chair leisurely, and Shangguan Wan'er was reading the music, and her voice was like a yellow warbler, which was very good. Empress Dowager Wu's rattan chair was also given by Wu Qing, and Empress Dowager Wu liked it very much.

After Shangguan Wan'er finished reading Zhou Xing and others about the Lijingmen prison, she had to pause for a while and wait for the Queen Mother to speak.

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Keep this book in the middle and read the next one." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "This is the general's song, does the God Emperor want to see it in person?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu nodded, then took the song, read it all, and said with a smile: "Qing'er still has an idea, this note will be sent down immediately, I want to review Zuo Yu Linwei before the Dragon Boat Festival, so that the hundred officials can see the prosperity of our forbidden army."

Shangguan Wan'er agreed.

After Wu Qing received the holy decree, he smiled and said to himself: "It seems that this matter is against the Queen Mother's appetite. Immediately, he asked people to go to Xia Guan and Chun Guan to get the army drill manual. It took two days to figure out a reasonable step, but Wu Qing was not prepared to do so, and if it was carried out according to the drill manual compiled by the Spring and Xia Officials, it would take at least three hours. For the already old Empress Dowager Wu. The body can't support it for that long, not to mention before the Dragon Boat Festival, when the weather starts to get hot.

Hot weather. Not to mention the elderly, even the young people, they may be a little unbearable, let alone three hours! Immediately Wu Qing thought about it, he wanted to simplify the steps. In his mind, he was going to turn a soldier into a purely military man, so. What sacrifices to heaven and earth and the like are omitted. He decided to set up the review location outside the end gate, where the people of Shendu could see it, and it was estimated that it would stimulate the senses of the Empress Dowager Wu even more.

Nine thousand feathers Lin Wei. It is divided into nine phalanxes, including light cavalry, infantry, spearmen, archers, sword soldiers, heavy cavalry, honor guards, sailors, and baggage soldiers. If he could, Wu Qing really wanted to get a phalanx of female soldiers, but it was a pity. The women of this era are open though. But after all, the status of women is still not too high, so Wu Qingti didn't mention it.

Of course, if one day he governs the country with his ideas, then maybe there will be female soldiers in the army, and even literary and artistic soldiers.

Ordered someone to summon Guo Zhiyun, who had just been promoted to General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, and now Guo Zhiyun has become very calm, which is also an important reason why Wuqing promoted him. And Guo Zhiyun has read a lot over the years, and he often talks about the art of war with him. can impress Wu Qing, if he can, Guo Zhiyun will be a rare general.

"My subordinates have seen the general!" Guo Zhiyun knelt on one knee, this is the biggest military salute!

Wu Qingyi waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, sit down." ”

Guo Zhiyun looked resolute, lowered his head, and said, "What is the general calling his subordinates for?" ”

Wu Qing handed the new drill manual to Guo Zhiyun and said: "In the future, I will perform according to this, don't slack off, understand?" ”

Guo Zhiyun didn't know what was inside, but he knew that this matter must be extraordinary, but the general didn't say it at this time, and he couldn't ask, this was the rule for many years, to be exact, it was the general's rule. According to the general, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, even if there is an abyss in front of him, he must jump!

"My subordinates understand!" Guo Zhiyun bowed and saluted, and was ready to retreat.

Wu Qing shouted and said with a smile: "How old are you this year?" ”

Guo Zhiyun hurriedly bowed down and said, "My subordinates have wasted thirty of their twenty this year. ”

Wu Qing paused and said, "You have been lonely and poor since you were a child, what relatives do you have at home?" ”

Guo Zhiyun didn't know what Wu Qing was going to do, but he still answered truthfully, "Originally, there was an aunt, but she died three years ago, and she has no relatives." ”

Wu Qing stood up, then looked at Guo Zhiyun, and said: "I have a wife and sister who is eighteen years old, and she has been in the boudoir so far, and her appearance and temperament are very good. ”

Guo Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said: "My subordinates have been poor since childhood, and they have been loved by the generals and have to join the army. ”

Wu Qing hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Between you and me, we are like brothers, you don't have to be so polite, you come to my house another day, you will meet first, if you are satisfied, you can get married, if you are not satisfied, you can go to my study and talk to me." Men should get married and women should get married, you are not young, it is time to start a family, I am a few years older than you, but I already have more than ten children. ”

Guo Zhiyun was happy in his heart, and then bowed deeply and said, "My subordinates have thanked the general." ”

Wu Qing said with a smile: "In the army, you and I have a relationship between the top and bottom, and in private, you and I are brothers." Now go ahead and arrange the drill. ”

Guo Zhiyun was moved to withdraw from the official residence, and Wu Qing was immediately relieved, and finally completed Wu Yuer's entrustment. It stands to reason that now the Wu family is a new upstart in the DPRK, and the daughter of the Wu family should be very popular, but the Wu family who followed Wu Qing did not get much benefit. Although the family has solid resources, it is a bit of a gap compared to Wu Chengji and others. Let's just say that the people of the Wu family around Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi don't know how many are officials. Some idle official positions almost have their shadows.

And there are only seven or eight households left with Wuqing, and only Wu Youzhi, who has been named a sacrificial wine, is an official. Fortunately, Wu Ming'er is very virtuous, and after staying in Wufu for a long time, she also likes military generals and dislikes civil officials, so Wu Yuer begged Wuqing to find a suitable military general. Wu Qing thought about it, and only Guo Zhiyun made do.

After finishing this matter, he left the palace and returned to the mansion, so he told Wu Yuer about it and asked Wu Ming'er to dress up.

Recently, auspicious things have been published in many newspapers, so the scolding war between science and Confucianism is not very conspicuous. What's more, after scolding for a long time, he will be tired, Wuqing decided to enter a state of truce, and Qingxin Daily directly turned into a civilian daily. And sent a new profession, journalists! Of course, this profession is not public, and the officials and masters of this era cannot afford to provoke, if they find out about the private lives of the officials, it is estimated that they can be tortured to death by cool officials.

For example, Qiao Zhizhi, the right supplement, has a maidservant Bi'er who was born very beautiful, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And the article is also first-class, and it can be empathetic, Qiao Zhizhi has never married a maid for this reason. I don't know how Wu Chengsi heard that there was such a servant. He was lustful, so he borrowed Bi'er on the grounds of teaching his wife and concubine. As a result, Wu Chenghei borrowed but did not repay, and forcibly accepted him as a concubine. Qiao Zhizhi regretted it. So he wrote a poem and sent it to Bi'er. As a result, Bi'er knew that she couldn't escape from Wu Chenghe's mansion, so she jumped into the well. Wu Chengsi asked someone to fish out the body, and when he saw Qiao Zhizhi's poem, he was furious, so he asked Wang Hongyi and others to falsely accuse Qiao Zhizhi and behead him directly in Nanshi.

This matter was secretly spread by Wu Qing, and the original purpose was to make Wu Chengsi more restrained, but he didn't expect that he even put the people who talked about this matter into Lijingmen.

Lijing Gate is also called the Case-Door Gate. The name of the cool official Wang Hongyi is beyond the meaning. That is, when you enter this door, you go in vertically, and you go out horizontally. Wang Hongyi is a ruffian hooligan, and for the sake of disaster in the township, the villagers see him like a plague god. There is an old melon farmer who can't ask for a melon, so he sues the county order, and there is a golden jade rabbit in the old farmer's melon field. Now all states and counties are offering auspicious rui to promote officials, how can the county order not to search and arrest, but the jade rabbit was not found, and a ripe melon field was trampled. Soon traveled to Zhaozhou and Beizhou, saw hundreds of elderly people in Luli as a yizhai, and after coming to the divine capital, they beat the drum to accuse them of rebellion, and more than 200 people were killed. Wang Hongyi was awarded the title of guerrilla general, and soon served as the imperial historian in the palace, and was specially imprisoned.

After taking charge of the prison, he quickly sued Wang Anren, the governor of Shengzhou, for rebellion, broke his whole family, and when he passed by Fenzhou, he also beheaded Mao Gong, who invited him to dinner, and went to the street with his bloody head.

Wu Qing was dressed in civilian clothes, leisurely riding a horse from the house to Xuanwu Gate to keep vigil, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Hongyi, looking at the person in a seven-grade official uniform riding a horse, a hemp rope put a dozen heads into a string, tied to the tail of the horse, dragged to the ground, left a blood mark on the heavenly street, the horse galloped, a head was thrown on the stone pier next to the street, and suddenly the brain cracked, and coincidentally splashed on Wu Qing's face.

In an instant, Wang Hongyi also felt that something was wrong, and when he grabbed the reins of the horse, he saw a scholar in civilian clothes with a weak appearance, so he scolded: "What do you see? You have dog eyes, look at your dog eyes again. Let you enter the routine door and taste grandpa's methods. ”

Suddenly, Wu Qing's face changed, but then he thought that this person was the mad dog of the Empress Dowager Wu, if he moved, he would inevitably be suspicious of the Empress Dowager Wu, but this person was too arrogant, everyone was dead, and he had to waste his head so much, is there any humanity? Endure a breath and say in a deep voice: "If you want to live, get out of here!" ”

"I didn't see it when I shouted, you are polite, you still have a bit of backbone, left and right, take him for me, tonight this imperial history will make this guy feel good!" Wang Hongyi came to Shendu in March, and Wuqing only went to the court, Wang Hongyi, a seven-grade official, was not qualified to go to the court, and the Empress Dowager Wu was not willing to let the cool officials go to the court. After all, some people are on the surface, and she herself feels ashamed. Therefore, Wang Hongyi did not know Wuqing, and the Jinwu guards who followed Wang Hongyi were recruits, and they did not know Wuqing.

The two Jin Wuwei were also used to bullying people, and when they got off the horse, they came to Wu Qing, pointed their spears at them, and yelled: "Get down!" ”

Wu Qing squinted his slender eyes, not moving at all, and the sweat and blood horse swooped out, just spraying one of them with snot all over his face.

The Jin Wuwei soldier was furious, "Look for death!" A shot was stabbed at the horse's head.

As soon as Wu Qing reined in the horse, the sweaty horse raised its front hooves, almost stood upright, dodged a stab, and then stepped on the chest of the Jin Wu soldier with both hooves, and directly stepped on it and collapsed. Suddenly, Jin Wuwei spat blood from his mouth, and the account was settled in a blink of an eye.

There were already a lot of people around, and they couldn't help but panic when they saw the killing.

Wang Hongyi was furious, pointed at Wu Qing and said, "Okay, well, kill this fang on the spot!" ”

When the Jinwu guard saw that his companion was trampled to death by a horse, he couldn't help but be furious, and he poked Wu Qing's ribs with a single shot. Wu Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out the sword on his waist, the sword flashed, and a head flew to Wang Hongyi, scaring Wang Hongyi into death.

Wang Hongyi yelled at the more than ten Jinwu guards beside him: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you kill that rebel!" ”

Some people in Jin Wuwei felt that Wu Qing was familiar. So stunned, the other Jinwuwei soldiers got the order and rushed towards Wuqing like crazy. Killing rebels, that is to be promoted and make a fortune, such an opportunity to make meritorious service, how can it be given to others! So they swarmed up.

Wu Qing shouted angrily, turned over and dismounted, kicked his legs, and his speed was at the limit. In just two breaths, Wu Qing had already rushed in front of Wang Hongyi. Wang Hongyi was startled, and then saw that the more than ten Jin Wuwei fell to the ground one by one.

"Hero. Spare your life! Wang Hongyi was finally scared.

Wu Qing didn't look at it, pulled out his long sword and cut off four horse legs with one sword, and then cut off Wang Hongyi's head with another sword, and then stepped on Wang Hongyi's head with one foot. Poof. Brain bursts.

Suddenly, an old woman saw Wang Hongyi's head being trampled on, and she cried and stepped forward to lift her foot and step on the corpse. Immediately afterwards, some ordinary people stepped forward and began to unscrew Wang Hongyi's arm, biting it fiercely, dripping with blood, and then swallowing it alive.

After Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, he knew that there were really not a few people framed by Wang Hongyi.

Since he killed Wang Hongyi, Wu Qing has nothing to say. Seeing that there was still a Jin Wuwei standing still, Wu Qing looked at him coldly. said: "Don't go to Luoyang County to report to the official!" ”

That Jin Wuwei came to his senses instantly, knelt on the ground, and cried: "The villain doesn't dare, the general spares his life." ”

Wu Qing said sharply: "Call you to report to the official, and you will go!" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will go!" The Jinwu guards stumbled towards Luoyang County, and fled as if they were gone.

"Young man, run away quickly, you killed Wang Hongyi and made the people angry, but she is the mad dog of the God Emperor, and the God Emperor will not let you go." An old man led Wu Qing's sweaty horse and handed the reins to Wu Qing.

Wu Qing smiled and said: "Thank you, old man, Lang Lang Qiankun, someone must come out to extinguish the arrogance of these mad dogs, the God Emperor is also blinded, I believe she will understand sooner or later." ”

After getting on the horse, he crossed the Tianjin Bridge and headed towards the imperial city, where he wanted to enter the Xuanwu Gate before closing the palace gate.

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Luoyang Ling reported the killing of Wang Hongyi at Tianjin Qiaotou to Empress Dowager Wu, and at the same time, Wu Qing's note to Empress Dowager Wu was also presented to the case.

Empress Dowager Wu watched Wu Qing's recital and listened to Luoyang Ling Zheng Zhuo's statement.

Wu Qing did not shirk responsibility, but fought back because Wang Hongyi ordered the Jin Wuwei soldiers to kill him, and the witnesses were the people of Luoyang, and there was also a Jin Wuwei soldier who was present and did not make a move. Wu Qing resigned from the post of General Zuo Yu Lin Wei and General Qianqi Zhonglang, and hoped that Empress Dowager Wu could retry the prison system, so as not to let fear be buried deep in the hearts of her subjects. Because he saw the people's hatred for the cool officials, it can be seen that the law of the cool officials could not appease the people.

Although Wu Qing did not directly point out the fault of the Empress Dowager Wu, it was not a long-term solution to appoint cool officials and let the ruffians, idle gangsters, and lowly people fill the court.

Who is the Empress Dowager Wu, how can she not tell, but the position of General Zuo Yu Lin Wei is extremely important, the rest of the martial arts family really does not have that talent, and she is not at ease to let others take on it, and at this critical moment, she does not dare to hand over the task of guarding the Xuanwu Gate to others, the Xuanwu Gate is a sword hanging behind her, if you don't let a trustworthy person hold it, the consequences will be unimaginable, and she can't help but start to ponder.

Finally, after Luoyang ordered out of the main hall, Empress Dowager Wu said: "Wan'er, let's draft a decree, remove Wuqing Zuo Yu Lin Wei from the post of general, and fine him for one year." Then he paused and said: "Feng Wu is the right general of Lin Wei." ”

As a result, Wu Qing was demoted from the third rank to the fourth rank of the military general, as for the fine for one year, for Wu Qing, that little money is nothing.

Of course, for the hundred officials, Wang Hongyi's death made them very happy, and they seemed to see a glimmer of light, so whenever they saw Wu Qing, the hundred officials still called "general", and the general seemed to have become Wu Qing's title.

There is one less Wang Hongyi among the cool officials, but there are also Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Hou Sizhi, Lai Junchen and others, these people are not ordinary ruthless.

Wuqing lost General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, so Zuo Yu Lin Wei was in charge of Guo Zhiyun, and he still trained soldiers in nine phalanxes according to Wu Qing's drill manual.

On this day, the end of the month.

Wu Qing called Guo Zhiyun to the mansion and had a banquet, during which a girl in white presented a piano song in a plump manner.

In the middle, Wu Yu'er asked, "Sister, what do you think?" ”

Wu Ming'er showed the appearance of a little daughter, but didn't speak, Wu Yu'er understood a little, and then smiled: "You go back, the master is in charge of this matter, as long as you are willing, you will be seventy percent sure." ”

So Wu Yuer entered the lobby and gave Wu Qing a lamp, and Wu Qing said to Guo Zhiyun: "At the right time, can you see the woman who played the piano just now?" ”

Guo Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then showed an ugly expression, and arched his hand: "General, my subordinates only care about drinking with the general, and they haven't seen it, please forgive the general." ”

Wu Qing was speechless for a while, ignoring the strange eyes of his wife and concubine, and said to Wu Yu'er: "You go and call Ming'er and let her add wine." ”

But after a while, Wu Ming'er walked in, wearing a well-fitting placket skirt, with a graceful posture and a face showing the true colors of a beauty.

When Wu Qing saw it, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, fortunately he was immune to beautiful women, but he didn't expect this little sister-in-law to look so good with makeup. It seems that women really have to rely on makeup.

Guo Zhiyun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a beautiful woman coming in.

"General, let the slave take care of it for you." Wu Ming'er's voice was soft like honey poured into Guo Zhiyun's heart, and he nodded mechanically.

The women present couldn't help but snicker when they saw Guo Zhiyun's appearance. Wu Qing, who had been in the flowers for a long time, coughed lightly and said, "Ming'er, let's go back to the room." ”

Wu Ming'er chuckled, then bowed and replied in a low voice, "Yes, brother-in-law." ”

With Wu Ming'er coming out like this, Guo Zhiyun was a little distraught, and Wu Qing asked: "When the time comes, do you think Ming'er can be a wife?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm not worthy" (to be continued......)
