In the first year of Xianqing (656 AD), October 21st, at 3 o'clock.

In the front yard of the Wuzhou Governor's Office, there were lonely round stone tables, and there were four dishes and two pots of wine. Cui Xiaoqing breastfeeded her daughter and Wu Kang fed her wife, which was very warm and harmonious. When the mother and son were full, they began to sweep away the wind and ate all the food, and finished two pots of wine, and burped comfortably.

The daughter kept striking her chest, and the wife rolled her eyes, hugged her in her arms and whispered: "It's all two years old. She pesters the empress every day and wants milk every day. It depends on when you eat it. There is only a pot of wine left at home. Is your husband still drinking? I'll take it over?"

Wu Kang nodded repeatedly. The last red sorghum was the most original and had to be finished as soon as possible. Xiaoqing hugged Nao Nao and disappeared into the Moon Gate, with a slightly heavy step. A figure appeared in the Moon Gate, with a large bag of small bags in her hand, Wu Yuan’s family of five.

In the past three years of Yonghui, they were serving Wuzhou. Five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Wu Kai was about to cry, so he came to the stone table and kowtowed three times. Wu Kang helped them up and said with a smile: "Put the tents ten miles away, and you will all be together for a banquet. Live a good life in the future. Don't cry, I won't send you there, so leave quickly."

The five men bowed again, Wu Kai wanted to speak but stopped, sighed and turned away. He watched them go out until their figures disappeared and could not come back to their senses for a long time. He became a lonely man, and no one was accompanied by Noda's governor's mansion except Xiaoqing and Naonao.

I don't know how long it took, but I couldn't help but sigh. Just as I was about to withdraw my gaze, two people appeared at the door. The big fat man with a red face turned out to be an old acquaintance, British Duke Li Jing; a man in his forties was wearing a purple prince's uniform, looking as if he was dressed as a prince.

Recalling the celebrity directory quickly, information poured into my mind: King Han Li Yuanjia, the eleventh son of Emperor Gaozu, is currently the governor of Zezhou. He was flattered and arrested the little Wu Kang and sent Sikong Li Jie to join forces with the first-rank prince. He was very proud.

Xiaoqing appeared at the Moon Gate, holding Nao Nao in one hand and a wine pot in the other. Seeing the two at the door, their eyes quickly turned red and their delicate bodies trembled slightly. No matter how good they performed, they were still dominated by emotions when things were about to begin.

Qian walked to the table, put down the wine pot in her hand, and sat next to her husband. Wu Kang didn't get up, and placed two tea cups opposite her, filled with three glasses of water and wine, looking up at them: "The most authentic red sorghum, made by Xia Guan, and buried in the wine cellar for four years. This is the last pot, Li Sikong and Han Dawang, how about drinking two cups?"

The two of them looked at each other, and sat opposite the table, and the three raised their glasses to drink together. Li Jie put down the wine glass, and the King of Han was amazed: "It is indeed a good wine, sweet and soft in the mouth, better than jade liquid and nectar. Only the Martial Governor can make such a good wine, Yuan Jiaxin convinced him orally."

Smile knowingly, since you like it, drink a few more glasses. Xiaoqing got up, carried her daughter on her back, and poured wine for the three of them. She pushed the glasses and started to blow each other until the wine in the pot was empty. Wu Kang put down the wine glass and waved to the two of them: "It's time to go on the road after drinking, please give me some advice."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The two looked at each other for a moment and walked to the center of the yard. Li Jie took the imperial edict, raised it high above his head, and shouted: "The General of the Right Wuwei Guard, the Grand Governor of Yuezhou, and the Governor of Wuzhou, kneel down to receive the imperial edict."

Wu Kang left the stone table, walked to them, lifted his robes and knelt on the ground. He clasped his fists and rushed to the northwest, and said loudly: "My minister Wu Kang, please respectfully ask the Holy One."

"Sage, Gong'an!"

The imperial edict of the earth-yellowed was opened, and the words were strong and powerful. The disciples: the 30th day of the first year of the Qing Dynasty; rituals are the basis of respect; rituals are the chariot of etiquette. Therefore, the "Li Yun" says: rituals are the master of the king, so they should not be disrespectful, consider the system, and distinguish benevolence and righteousness. They should blame the greatness of the offense, and they have no solemn and quiet heart, so they are called great disrespect.

When the Wenshui and Wu Kang of Bingzhou were surrounded by Wu, there was a great disrespect. He said: He dismissed the position of governor of Yuezhou, dismissed the position of governor of Wuzhou, and abolished the reputation of general of Right Wuwei; he said: Li Ji, King Han Li Yuanjia, immediately escorted him to the capital. He did not get on his shackles, and took a prison carriage and handed over to the Dali Temple Minister, Minister of Justice, and Chief Censor of the Censor to jointly hear the judgment.

The Secretary of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Se

It's interesting. The face is so great that the three departments will be tried. I originally thought that it was the minister of the Ministry of Education, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Censor of the Censorate, and other mistresses. I didn't expect it to be the Grand Third Department, which will be worth the vain. Thinking of this, I clasped my fists and said lightly: "The criminal minister Wu Kang, I will follow the order."

After getting the imperial edict, he slowly got up and handed it to his wife. Xiaoqing turned around and ran away, entering the moon gate. After a while, he brought something over and put it in Wu Kang's hand. The folded turtle shell and purple robe collected all the rags and sewed them one by one, which was absolutely a miracle.

The golden jar is engraved with "Wanhu Altar" and contains ten thousand households of rice. Starting from supporting the chickens, to ash forests, and then to the rice in Chameng. Wuzhou has formed a routine. Every time the people harvest, each household sends grains to autumn harvest rice and puts them into the Wanhu Altar, and the jar is filled with ten thousand households of rice.

Holding it in my arms, twitching my lips, staring at my wife and daughter, and for a long time I squeezed out "I'm sorry". I'm not a good husband or a good father, I'm sorry for you. I stared at Nao Nao's little face, grinned and walked towards the door.

When Li Ji and King Han saw Wanhutan, they thought of rumors in the capital, and they could not find out what they wanted.

Outside the gate of the governor's mansion, there are countless guards on the left, lined up neatly and fully armed. On the right is a prison car, similar to a simple cell, and the prison door has been opened. Wu Kang held the clothes altar and walked over and got into the prison car.

The car door was locked, and he turned back to the door and said goodbye to his wife and daughter. Xiaoqing bit her lip tightly, preventing tears from falling, and was unable to wave her right hand. No one was unclear, so she was very scared when she saw the stranger, and she called out to Dad, her chubby little hands, wiggling randomly.

Wu Kang grinned, turned his head hard, and closed his eyes quickly. He made an agreement with Xiaoqing before that not letting them see him off would cause shadows to Nao Nao. I hope she can abide by it. I felt a little sarcastic. I had longed for countless times that the scenery entered the capital. I really didn't expect that I would go to Beijing in shame in this way.

As the saying goes, there are unexpected changes in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time. What a true portrayal. The guards shouted loudly, the prison carriage gradually started, and Wu Kang forced himself to emptie. After a long time, I heard the familiar voice, and they were the three confidants, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Luo Binwang.

All colleagues, including the chief secretary Changsun Quan, leaned against the wall. Old Di was fat and sad, bowed to the end, and promised: "Don't worry about his family. When this matter is understood, the subordinate will make arrangements and send his wife to Beijing."

Zhang Jianzhi asked the wine pot and handed it through the slit of the prison car. Thousands of words formed a sentence. Wu Gong took care of it all the way. Wu Kang glanced at everyone, took the wine pot and raised his head, and finished the wine in the pot in one go. The wine pot was handed out, and he smiled with a fist and said, "Please, brothers, wait for this matter to pass, and then send them to Beijing."

Everyone bowed and shouted in unison, sending Mr. Wu respectfully. Wu Kang waved his hand, turned his head and closed his eyes, forcibly letting go of his thoughts. The two of them were not implicated, which was a very good result. Xiaoqing's wife Xingyang and the raucous Jinhua County Lord were actually preserved, which was the credit of Mei Niang.

It's funny to say that it was once rich, but at the last moment, there was only one house left. In the cultivation workshop of the capital, it was still given by Mei Niang. In the world, only Empress Wu can take care of my wife and daughter. With her current ability, it is already rare to be able to protect my wife and daughter.

The Guanlong family counterattack, a well-founded counterattack, even the saint Li Jiu was helpless. The only regret was that the engagement between Nao Nao and Li Xian was not resolved. It shouldn't be said that the dignified Princess Lu could not be the daughter of a death row prisoner.

Suddenly, when the prison car stopped again, Wu Kang opened his eyes and was stunned. The prison car was surrounded by people, calling Wu Gong in all his mouth. Some of them were holding weapons, and they should be Wuzhou militias. Looking at Dongming Avenue again, there were crowds of people and the roads were blocked.

Judging from this situation, there were crowds of people, and the people were crowded, squeezing the guards. Wu Kang hesitated for a few moments, put down his tortoise robes and ten thousand households, and clasped his fists around him. The noise intensified, people looked sad, and some even shed tears.

Li Ji and Li Yuanjia smiled bitterly at the same time. His reputation in Wuzhou was greater than expected. Before coming to Wuzhou, Li Yuanjia proposed to go to Yiwu County, northeast China to recruit Yiwu militias and enter Wuzhou to maintain order. It is ironic now that the first person to surround the prison van was the Yiwu militia.

The scene was almost out of control, and the guards did not dare to come forward for fear of being affected by anger. There was a scolding coming from the front. In front of Feng Ji's coffin shop, Wumin clashed with the guards. Seeing the coffin, Li Jie's pupils shrank slightly and immediately sent his personal soldiers to inquire. After learning the truth, he discussed with Li Yuanjia, but had no choice but to compromise.

The two-wheeled flatbed cart was placed with a black coffin. The people went out of the way and pushed the cart over. Boss Feng came to the prison cart, feeling extremely excited and his words were unclear: "I have prepared the longevity materials that the governor wants for you. Are you satisfied with the service?"

Old Feng's eyes were full of bloodshot. He should have been working day and night, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. That was three days ago, the magistrate of Yiwu County sent a confidant to inform the imperial envoy to Wu. Wukang found Lao Feng, and his words were still in his ears: I once said, maybe one day, if you need your help, maybe you will never come this day. I hope you can help me when the time comes. Can you serve me now?

Li Ji sent his personal soldiers to take over the flat-panel ox cart and put on the spare horse. Wu Kang clasped his fists around and said politely: "My fellow villagers, I am very happy that you can come. Please make way and let the prison cart go over, don't let the imperial envoy make things difficult for the imperial envoy..."

The effect was very bad. The Wu people continued to surround the situation and the scene was almost out of control. Wuzhou officials rushed over, and Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi tried hard to persuade them, but it was meaningless to do so. In the end, there was nothing to do. Wuzhou officials held hands and surrounded the prison cart in the middle.

The three confidants were open to the road, and they were also very famous, barely allowing the prison car to move. The scene was completely out of control, and the people vented their anger and smashed all kinds of things. Rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, eaten duck pear cores, and angry abuse.

The soldiers who escorted their heads were all in trouble, and they all held their heads in their hands and endured endless public anger. They did not dare to fight back, and they would be torn apart by anger and would become exposed. Li Jie quickly sent an order, so the soldiers were calm and were not allowed to conflict with the people. After passing the order, the personal soldiers raised their shields and surrounded him in the middle.

Li Yuanjia was crying. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were exclusive to the prison car. Why did they hit us? I would have known this would happen, and I wouldn't come to death. Wumin was so scary. Turning his head to look at Li Ji, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, regretting taking the trip.

Wu Kang begged hard to keep his peace of mind, and finally closed his eyes and did whatever he wanted. He was shocked and moved. He served as the governor of Wuzhou for four years and did many practical things, but they were all in their own affairs. It is natural to serve as an official and benefit the people. Tens of thousands of people saw him off, but it was incredible when he was shocked.

The prison van was slowly moving to the city gate and stopped again. The soldiers who opened the way forward retreated one after another. Li Ji scolded him a few times and suddenly shut up. The personal soldiers protected them and retreated to the prison van gang. Li Ji ordered the shield to be removed.

The soldiers retreated in a herringbone shape, revealing dozens of roadblockers, white-haired old men. They were old, hunched, and with crutches, some were carried. Wu Kang knew the elders of Changshou Village, Sun Qilao and Wang Qilao, and the Wusheng Temple was erected in the village, and they were fans of the governor.

When they came close, Sun Qi Lao stared at Li Ji, and his words were choked: "We old guys went to the city half a month ago and lived in the inn. Today, we blocked the road, so I want to ask, "Do you dare to ask the two imperial envoys, can't the court tolerate good officials?"

The words were very heavy, and the scene was soon quiet, and the imperial envoy was speechless. At this moment, he finally realized that the court sent a first-rank Sikong and the prince to Wukang together, which was not a waste of talent. However, the court still miscalculated, and even Sikong and the prince could not leave Wuzhou City.

After looking at each other and smiling bitterly, Li Jiliang revealed his identity: "Reply to the old man, Li Ji can answer, and a good official will be rewarded. We escorted the governor Wu, but we went to Beijing to investigate and wait until the three departments reviewed it, and then everything would be determined."

Li Yuanjia gave a tribute and said with a kind look: "I am King Yuanjia of Han, the descendant of Emperor Gaozu, and the uncle of the saint. Li Sikong said correctly. If the conviction of the governor of a state is required to inquire by the saint. Without the imperial decree, no one has the right to deal with the governor of a state. Please rest assured that the saint will observe clearly and the three departments will also handle it impartially."

The elders didn't buy it and were very excited. Sun Qi Lao said, "Mr. Wu was killed by a traitor. He was in the blue sky of Wuzhou. He could not be disrespectful. He lived for eighty-five years. He had never seen an official who burned himself to ask for rain due to drought. He had never seen him. In order to protect the seedlings, he fought with the rat group and was bitten and injured."

The more he spoke, he became more and more excited, and he cried: "To prevent the plague from entering Wu, he sacrificed himself to risk and entered the plague area; to support the poor households in spring, and to carry grain for the disabled households in autumn; to improve various agricultural tools, try every means to collect more grain for the people; to plant ash trees, open fluorite mines, and see more money for the people. King Han, why can't he tolerate him?"

Li Yuanjia was speechless, with a sore throat in his throat and tears in his eyes. On that day, 70% of the officials in the court forced the saint to issue an order to punish Wu Kang for his death. Only a few ministers such as Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Yuan Gongyu fought for him, while the rest remained silent.

The saint could not withstand the pressure, so he issued an imperial edict in tears, and specially sent me and Li Ji to comfort me. If he was a slander, I hope all officials would be such a slander. Li Yuanjia clasped his fists and promised Sun Qi Lao: "Please rest assured, what you see and hear today, when you return to the capital, you will report it according to the facts."

Wang Qilao stepped forward tremblingly, Li Ji quickly helped him. He looked at him and said, "When the rebellion was suppressed, the militia was killed and disabled. Wu Gong visited him every year and sent rice, flour and cloth. Can such a general be called a loving soldier?"

Li Ji nodded, and Wang Qilao continued: "The remaining soldiers in the nearby village work as supervisors in the mines, and their wages are no less than others. The Yongkang water broke the dam two years ago, and Wu Kang brought people into the water, blocked the dam with his body, and finally blocked the river bank. General Li, would such an official be disrespectful?"

Silently speaking, Li Ji was silent. Wang Qi Lao was dissatisfied and threw away his support and faced the elders: "My brothers, once Duke Wu enters the capital, we will definitely be harmed by a traitor. We cannot agree. The two imperial envoys thought that the city gate could be able to step on the old body."

After saying that, sitting on the ground, the elders followed suit, and the city gate was completely blocked. The people waved their arms and waved their arms, and thousands of people shouted for injustice, which was shaking the earth. The soldiers escorted the soldiers were silent, and Li Ji simply closed his eyes, feeling like a rat crossing the street, being scolded by thousands of people.

Li Yuanjia was anxious and begged the elderly, his face turned red with an anxious look. He had no choice but to do anything, and he noticed that his sleeve was being pulled. He lowered his head to see Li Ji's gesture, and immediately turned around and begged: "You are saying something, uncle has not made things difficult for you, don't make things difficult for uncle."

This donkey was exhausted and began to catch up with relatives. Wu Kang sighed, "This is not a solution, so he nodded and agreed. Li Yuanjia was ecstatic, wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, took the keys of the prison car, opened the chains himself. He picked up Wanhutan, clamped the turtle shell coat with his armpit, looked at him with a gracious look, and begged on his face.

Wu Kang got out of the prison car, came to the elders, and slowly fell to the ground. The elders quickly stood up and pulled him up. Wu Kang smiled bitterly: "Sir, this is useless, they are ordered to act, and it is meaningless for them to do nothing. There is no decisive number yet, I am just going to Beijing for trial, and everything is unknown."

Sun Qi Lao shook his head: "Don't lie to me. I'm not a fool. If I go to Beijing for trial, I won't be in the prison car. You cut the holy robe to save the victims. Is the lives of tens of thousands of refugees not as good as a robe?"

Di Renjie stepped forward and pleaded with his fists, "Mr. Sun, this is really useless. The saint will definitely be aware of it. Duke Wu's sister is the queen of the current dynasty. She does not have to allow anyone to harm Duke Wu without reason."

The Wu official begged hard, and Li Ji and Li Yuanjia also persuaded him with great sincerity. Wu Kang promised countless times that he would not be in danger of his life, but he went to Beijing for trial. The stalemate was still useless, so he had no choice but to pick up Sun Qi Lao. The officials all took action and hugged him so the old man finally left the city gate.

He turned around and wanted to get into the prison car, but was stopped by Li Ji. Li Yuanjia locked the prison door directly. If you enter the prison car again, we can't walk out of Wuzhou. He was really helpless. He walked in front of the team and acted as the pioneer of the road. He was soon shocked again. The people on both sides of the official road were everywhere, and there was no sight at all.

There are thousands of people who send Wu Kang to the streets, and there is no regret in my heart, so I will not be in vain for this life. I keep bowing to the left and right, unlike going to the capital to die, but rather like being welcomed by a crossing road. Before leaving Wuzhou, I will lie down during the day and leave at night to save the troubles.

The city of Wuzhou is empty and the governor's mansion is empty. Xiaoqing cried helplessly. The many women next to her are the family members of her colleagues, and comforting is useless. Luo's mother is crying and she is crying for evil. Sister Di hugged her and kept coaxing her.

At this moment, the Buddha's name sounded at the door, Xiaoqing stopped crying in an instant, stood up and rushed over. She knelt in front of the monk, folded her hands together, and begged hard: "Master once said, I can save my husband, please give me some advice. No matter how many swords and fires are, even if I lose my life, I will save my husband."

Everyone surrounded him, and the little monk helped him and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the wife is exempted from rituals, and the ancestors of the monks came for this. The people in Wuzhou all came out, and the elders blocked the road and shouted for justice, and the people lined up to the border of Wuhang."

The monk recited the Buddha's name again: "Good, good, such a picture is touching. As the saying goes, good, hearing is false, seeing is true. Only by letting the saints and court officials feel the will of the people can we save Duke Wu from danger. Only by saving Duke Wu is the only people, Amitabha Buddha."
