Chapter 42 The incident of stealing the princess
The first year of Xianqing (656 AD), the eighth day of the third month, at the third hour.
There is a small courtyard on the west side of the official hall of Wuzhou, which is the office room of Changshi. Changsun Quan sat upright, squinted his eyes, held his pen, and was dazed. The flat peach blossom paper, the beautiful white body, and the beautiful poem: You regard it as a rock, and I regard it as a cattail grass. The cattail grass is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer.
Looking back on the past, I looked back at the past, the zither sounded, things were different, my heart gradually became cold, and the brush in my hand moved in mid-air. The sweet smile turned into a bitter smile, the bitter smile turned into a sneer, and my eyes gradually blurred. The tip of the pen was hung on the word "Jun" and could not be found and swayed lightly. Suddenly, the ink dripped down, and the rice grains were large ink, soaked in beautiful handwriting.
Changsun Quan was awake, and his thumb quickly applied ink, pressed a clear fingerprint to cover the entire word "官". His anger surged in his heart, his facial features gradually became ferocious, his pen was flying and phoenix danced, and his graffiti was graffiti and beautiful handwriting. Until the white paper was pitch black, his pen fell down dejectedly, staring at the black paper in a daze.
About half a quarter of an hour later, a scream came from the next door, and Changsun Quan was barely coming back to his senses. A sneer came from the corner of his mouth. Next door was the back hall of the Faya Department, the bad security interrogation room, and was torturing merchants. These wine bags, the case trials are completely different and there will never be any result.
There was a rush to knock on the door, and Changsun Quan asked which one was the judicial officer Wang Xu. He said lightly, wait, the peach blossom paper nest formed into a ball and threw it into the wooden barrel at his feet. He straightened his waist and raised his voice: "Shifa Wang, please come in, bring the door with him."
Wang Xu flashed into the door, and the stationmaster Sun Quan greeted him respectfully and bowed with fists. He expressed his grievances: "Di Renjie and Luo Binwang, who tried the assassination case of the governor, did not allow me to interfere. I am a judicial officer and cannot participate in the affairs of the legal yamen. This is unreasonable. Changsun Changshi, they are too presumptuous and clearly look down on you."
Changsun Quan did not comment and pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be angry at Wang Chanjun. At the fluorite trade fair, Governor Wu was almost injured. The perpetrator failed to escape and died of bleeding from his seven orifices. It was really strange. If you don't ask about it, there may be a reason, do your job well."
Wang Xu was even more dissatisfied. I was chasing you with you. They excluded me. You can't be a turtle. Just as he was about to argue, Changsun Quan waved his hand to stop him and gave him a calm face: "It's time to go to the yamen. If nothing else, please go back."
After saying that, he looked down at the official document. Wang Xu was speechless and turned around and left in disappointment. The door opened, and the howling came, and he became more upset. He blocked his ears, frowned, staring at the hourglass on the table. He waited until two moments of Shenshi, and the screams stopped abruptly. He moved his arms, looked at the wooden barrel under his feet, and turned around to leave the room.
The door of the room was locked, and he left the yamen and returned to the Changshi Mansion. On Dongming Avenue, militia and bad guards were all fierce and fierce, questioning the passing pedestrians. Changsun Quan sneered, Fatty Qin died on the spot, and you could not dig out the envoy behind the scenes.
Wu Ning often acted injustice, and the people who wanted him to die were like crucian carp crossing the river. He shook his head slightly, left Dongming Road, and entered Wuming Lane. He walked along the high wall and walked to the center of the alley. He saw someone in the distance, leaning against the wall in a daze.
The burly man in the head was wearing a security suit for the Shengshi, and he was very familiar with his back. As the distance got closer, he recognized who the person was and stopped in an instant. They stopped talking and turned around to walk here. Changsun Quan's heart trembled, subconsciously turned his head, and there was a security guard behind him, and he was surrounded.
I felt something was wrong, so I forced myself to calm down and despise the big man opposite. Qian Shun held his fists and saluted, smiling with harmless smiles, and speaking very politely, but there is no doubt: "The boss is in the governor's mansion, please come over and have tea. I advise Mr. Changsun, we are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so don't make things difficult for us."
Outside the study of the governor's mansion, the security guards in black patroled, laughing and laughing in the room. Wu Kang hugged his beloved daughter, played with the cat on the table, and giggled with his little hands. The cat was so desperate that he curled up in a ball and shrank his head, and his cat claws covered his beard, making everyone smile.
A few minutes later, Wu Kang looked at the windowsill hourglass, put Nao Nao on his legs, and put his gentle smile on his face: "My little heart, it's time for office hours again, go and play hide and seek. Aunts hide and seek, can you find a cat? "
Nao Nao was unhappy, stepped on my father's thighs, kissed my old face perfunctorily. He was depressed, twisted his body and reached out to ask for a hug. Yu Yuzhen hugged her quickly and coaxed her softly: "Nao Nao is not angry, Aye wants to work, we are hiding and seeking."
He still had a small face tense, pouted and glared at Grandpa, and babbled for a long time. Wu Kang laughed and patted his chest and said, "It turns out that our family is angry with Xiaobai. This lazy cat really hates it. How dare you not play with the romance. Don't worry, my daughter, Dad teaches it a lesson and gives it a memory."
Naoba smiled and waved his hand to say goodbye to his father, and was taken away by Yu Yuzhen. He ordered the maid to send milk, carry out the box from the bookshelf, and take out the milky white wine pot. Put the wine glass on the table, half a cup of milk and half a cup of wine, stir evenly with your fingers, and put it to Xiaobai's mouth.
Xiaobai smelled the milk fragrance and stood up lazyly, stretched his head to lick the milk. Within three strokes, Wu Kang took the wine glass and poured it into the copper basin at the bottom of the table. The cat star was unhappy and looked at the unscrupulous owner. Meow Meow expressed dissatisfaction, and his heart was so cute that he melted.
Pick up the wine pot, scan the inside of the handle of the pot, find the big rice grain button, and gently touch it with your thumb. Take it to your ear and press the button. The noise is faintly unheard. Pull out disdain at the corner of your mouth, pour half a glass of wine and mix half a cup of milk. Use the pen holder to stir well, put it in front of Xiaobai, and lick it lightly when you watch the cat's tongue.
After half a cup of milk, Xiaobai suddenly twitched, his limbs were spinning on the spot, and he fell to the desk in an instant. He kept meowing, like in heat, white foam came out of his mouth, and his pupils gradually expanded. In less than three minutes, the cat's eyes were bleeding and his limbs were stiff and straight.
Pour the copper basin of wine and throw the wine glass in, pat the palm gently. The study door opened, and the security guard Zhao Sheng came in and directly instructed him: "Tao the copper basin and cat corpse, don't let Nao Nao run into it. Go to the Dongmingdao Market and buy the same milk cat, the same size and color, and Nao Nao will have fun tomorrow."
Zhao Shengyingnuo quickly packed up and turned away. Wu Kang studied the wine pot. The wisdom of the ancients was really admirable. The legendary mandarin duck pot is similar to mandarin duck hot pot, which contains poisonous wine and fine wine. There is a button at the handle of the pot, which is the starting mechanism to switch between fine wine and poisonous wine.
The two of them drank a pot of wine together, I'm alive, you were poisoned to death by the wine wine, which is quite interesting. Looking through the mouth of the pot, I couldn't see any clues. I wanted to break the research, but I felt that it was a waste of resources. I pondered for a moment and felt that it was a bad thing. Mei Niang should like such a murderous artifact.
Prepare paper and pen immediately and write instructions: Fill the pot with fine wine. The surface of the pot is close to the horizontal line of the mouth of the pot. Press the handle of the pot, and then pour poisoned wine into the pot. Test it before use, and it is recommended to use a cat or a dog. Friendly reminder: test it a few more times and don’t poison yourself.
After finishing the pen, blowing dry the ink marks, folding the letter paper, and putting it in the envelope. The knock on the door, the door opened, and Qian Shun came in. Changsun Quan saw the mandarin duck pot, his pupils instantly tightened and his shoulders trembled slightly. In less than half a minute, beads of sweat as big as beans slid behind his neck.
Wu Kang glanced at him, picked up the mandarin duck pot, activated the rotating mechanism, and poured out the water and wine in the pot. He signaled Qian Shun to come forward and handed over the envelope: "Send someone to Chang'an, give my wife the letter and wine pot to my wife, and let her pass it to the queen. You all go out, I will talk to Brother Changsun, and no one is allowed to come in."
Qian Shunnuo left, signaled Changsun to take his seat, and smiled warmly: "Don't be nervous, just talk about family matters and make the topic clear. Brother Changsun is knowledgeable and talented, and I must know the "Tang Rules Commentary". Article 5 of "The Law of Thieves and Thieves": What explanation should be given to murder the lord of the palace and other officials?"
After a long period of silence, Changsun Quan narrowed his eyes and sarcastically sarcastically at the corner of his mouth. According to fact, he replied: "The governor, governor and county magistrate are the state and the highest county chief, and they are called the lord of the prefecture. The subordinates murder the lord of the prefecture will be sentenced to two thousand miles of prisoners; if the lord of the prefecture is injured, the subordinates will be sentenced to hanging; if the lord of the prefecture is dead, all the principal culprits and accomplices will be sentenced to beheading."
Wu Kang praised: "Fluorite Ordering Club, the shopkeeper of Qin in Yuezhou, killed me. After a long battle formation, I reacted more sensitively and barely avoided murderous intent. He failed to get a blow, turned around and fled to the door, and bleeding from his seven orifices. Before he died, he looked at him and pointed his hand at you and me angrily."
Speaking of this, he stopped staring at Changsun Quan and said with a firm speech: "My eyesight is very good and I feel very accurate. He is not referring to me, but you on the back. Brother Changsun, do you know each other? Why did you criticize you before you die?"
Changsun Quan laughed wildly, and his laughter continued for a long time. He glared and said, "At present, don't act pretentiously. The assassin is my person, and I am the mastermind behind the scenes. I can't understand why you are safe and sound after drinking the wine? Is the mandarin duck pot failing, or are you already prepared for it?"
The confession was clean and neat, and Wu Kang couldn't keep up with the rhythm. He was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "At that time, I didn't know that the Yuanyang Pot was prepared. Before going to the venue, Shunzi reported that Xue, who fell into the water, was probably an assassin and was likely assigned by you."
He sighed softly, feeling a little sad: "As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be wary of others. At the auction site, you will add a show temporarily, and I am even more suspicious. I didn't drink the wine, pour it into my collar, and escaped."
Thinking of the scene that day, I couldn't help but feel scared and sighed, "To prevent the attack, to alert the snake, to gain time, and to find the wine pot, I ordered martial law across the city to control the merchants, pretend to interrogate; to mobilize militias, and to conduct investigations. The emperor paid off and found the mandarin duck pot in the study of the Changshi Mansion."
Changsun Quan was not concerned and his eyes were aggressive: "Qian Shun was right. Xue is also my person. He deliberately fell into the water on the Shangsi Festival, just to assassinate. You are a hypocrite, good at bewitching people's hearts, good at playing scenes, and you will definitely go into the water to save people. Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and your dog disrupts the plan."
Wu Kang scoffed and said disdainfully: "Although the plan is thorough, it is not perfect. Not only Qian Shun, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi also found clues, but they were not relieved. If I was killed, with their ability, I would definitely find you."
He stared at Changsun Quan and said extremely seriously: "It is unjust to kill each other, and nine out of ten evils will be unforgivable; killing the chief of our government and harming people with poison is a death sentence. The greater the grudges, the greater the grudges, will make you take risks and burn them to death."
The laughter became even more presumptuous, and Changsun Quan burst into tears. He slapped the table with his palms, leaned forward with his waist, and his voice and expression were stern: "You and that bitch have sex with you, don't you think I know? Chang'an City Prince Consort's Mansion has my eyeliner. Every time you meet in private, I know. Abductive and tycoon is not to be cherished, I just regret not succeeding!"
As expected, Qian Shun expected it again, and Wu Kang smiled bitterly. He felt very wronged. That time in Zhuji County, I was also a victim. I pondered for a moment, stared at his eyes, and emphasized his tone: "You can scold me for being an adulterer, don't scold Shuyu. She is innocent, she is for you..."
"Don't let your mother's stinky farts," Changsun Quan burst out in a thick state, twisted Wu Kang's collar, twisted his facial features into a ball. His eyes were red, and he screamed at the top of his lungs: "Is it for my good to have sex with a man and secretly give birth to evil? Do you think I am a fool?"
Wu Kang was calm and his tone slowed down: "This is the fact, believe it or not. Know Li Chunfeng, he criticized Xincheng. In the near future, the Changsun family will suffer a great disaster. Changsun Wuji and the children of the Changsun family will die in a bad life. The so-called general trend is irreversible, and the details can be changed. Li Chunfeng believes that I can save your life."
I felt that my collar was slightly loose, and Wu Kang felt a little relieved and started a journey of deception: "It sounds very funny, but after careful consideration, I felt it made sense. From the Western Wei to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, from the former Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, you Guanlong clans always controlled the government."
Shaking his head to make his breathing smoothly, then fooled: "The talented and wise Emperor Yang of Sui was unable to handle it well, and the internal strife between the Guanlong clans led to the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty; the talented and wise Emperor Taizong valued the Shandong gentry and indirectly suppressed the Guanlong clans. Taizong had great achievements and could shock them, but His Majesty is not good at this time..."
Staring at Changsun Quan, he said with a firm word: "They worshipped Taizong, but they did not accept the saints, and even put him in a weak position. The saints were also very talented and unwilling to be puppets, so they started a war against the Guanlong clan. You are too strong and cannot fight head-on. He chose to deviate from the strategic circle, which means that the king and the martial arts were abolished."
The collar relaxed again, breathing completely smoothly, and Wu Kang continued to work hard: "Empress Wang was born in the Guanlong family. If she abolished her, she would be able to settle the country. She would first be able to fight against foreign countries. As expected, the Guanlong family resisted fiercely, but unfortunately, the saint was supported by Li Jie. Li Jie was highly respected and was a representative of the military, so the Guanlong family would be defeated."
Changsun Quan was not stupid, gradually fell into deep thought and gradually suppressed his anger. Wu Kang took away his hand, rubbed his throat, and then fooled: "The deposed king and Liwu were very successful. The saint's flag was opened and he demoted Chu Suiliang to the governor of Tanzhou. This was just the beginning, and a bigger political storm was brewing... Brother Changsun, sit down and talk."
After three minutes of stalemate, Changsun Quan sat down, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Wu Kang smiled and continued to fool him: "In February this year, the minister Han Yuan submitted a memorial to defend Chu Suiliang. The saint refused to listen, and Han Yuan resigned, but the saint refused. Why not? The time has not come, and the court has been dismissed in a short period of time, and the court is unstable."
Wu Kang stood up, poured him wine, and then fooled him: "After Han Yuan submitted a memorial, Du Zhenglun became prime minister and filled Chu Suiliang's vacancy. This is a political signal, to promote Wuguanlong and exclude Guanlong. When the court is stable and the time is ripe, Han Yuan and Laiji will be liquidated."
I temporarily stopped talking, poured myself and waited for his mood to stabilize. Five minutes later, I felt good and talked to smart people. It was really comfortable: "Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan and Lai Ji, are Changsun Wuji's followers. After cutting out the followers, it was Changsun Wuji's turn."
He raised his glass to invite him to drink together, but Changsun Quan ignored him, and Wu Kang also let him go: "For most, five years, at least three years, when the court is stable, the day of the Wuji reckoning. He will be demoted, and his family will be dismissed from office. All of them, including you, will be exiled, at least in Lingnan."
Changsun Quan's hands trembled, and there was no end to the nest when he collapsed. He was not a bag of wine. Xincheng was the eldest princess, the most favored by the saints, and he would definitely be left in the capital and marry again. Thinking of this, his eyes were red and he shook even more violently.
Wu Kang sighed softly and said softly: "The matter has not ended here, and it will not end. Han Yuan, Lai Ji and Chu Suiliang may be able to save their lives, but Wuji will die. He is a big tree in Guanlong, and only when the tree falls, the money will disperse. The saint will not allow it. The Guanlong relationship will be rekindled and will definitely be eradicated."
Changsun Quan suddenly looked up and stared at him. Wu Kang didn't care, so he raised his glass again, and his eyes met. The picture was frozen, and half a quarter of an hour later, and his soul was still moving. He really couldn't figure out why many people called Li Jiu a useless person?
The political abilities of aristocratic families and the improvement of the imperial examination system are in line with the historical trend. The king and Wu were abolished, and the progress was carried out step by step, burying the aristocratic families. The political skills are not inferior to Li Er. If it weren't for physical reasons, Mei Niang really had no chance and Wu Zetian would not appear.
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and when the wine glass hit, Changsun Quan spoke: "According to the words of the governor Wu, Changsun Wuji will die. All the children of the Changsun family will be exiled and then killed? The saint is kind-hearted and will not be so decisive."
This is ridiculous. He is not a kind-hearted person, but a cruel and black-hearted person. He nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a firm word: "The saint's kind-hearted person is your destiny. The queen and Li Yifu are worried that they will call you back to the court in three or five years. In order to eliminate future troubles forever, they will kill the roots and send someone to kill you."
The atmosphere was depressed again, Changsun Quan drank three cups in a row, staring at Wu Kang and said, "Li Chunfeng's advice, the princess asked for help in order to save my life. You are the confidant of Empress Wu, and you have saved her life, and even promoted the deposed king Liwu. If you plead, will she let go of the Internet and spare my life?"
Wu Kang shook his head and said to the truth: "I don't have confidence, and my plea may not be useful. She is cruel and intelligent, so she will not let you go. So in Zhuji, I decisively rejected the princess' plea, but who knows..."
After struggling for two minutes, she decided to give up and laughed a little, saying, "I was drugged by the princess. When I woke up, I tied up and abused me in various ways. I refused to obey. She took the initiative and thought of a bad idea, and used the child to force me to submit."
After saying that, his face turned slightly red and said embarrassedly: "I have been snatched from my weakness. I will beg Queen Wu because of my child. If she doesn't agree, I will take the risk and send my subordinates to protect you from hiding and live an incognito life."
The study was silent, and Wu Kang was able to fool him successfully. This guy listened to it. Thinking of Xincheng, his scalp was numb. Since the adventures in Haozhou, her mentality has changed and it is unpredictable. How should I deal with the future interactions, from occasional slight abuse to no abusive at all?
It’s all because of Li Chunfeng. I want to smash your sign. If you say that the child is difficult, I will have more sons. Thinking of this, my scalp is numb again. His goodness is good, and the child is a little difficult. Ruyan and Qin Niang have been with me for more than four years, Yuzhen and me for a year. They didn’t neglect them, but their stomachs were not moving. Could it be that this thing is still picking people?
Hearing the chair rubbing, he looked up instantly and stared at Changsun Quan's back: "Her heart is on you, and she sacrifices too much for you, please don't blame her. If you are angry, kill Li Chunfeng or beat me up, I will not fight back. I promised Xincheng to save your life, so the assassination has never happened."
Changsun Quan snorted coldly and slammed the door and left him confused...
Chapter completed!
