Chapter 53: Sending a Wife Kneeling to the People

In the first year of Xianqing (656 AD), October 23rd, at 3:00 a.m.

Cui Xiaoqing was wearing a security guard black robe, with a large piece of jade and silk cloth on her back, holding a food box in her left hand, and holding her daughter in her right arm, and hurried out of the study. The court did not appoint a new governor, and the record officer was temporarily in charge of the military, so she could temporarily stay in the governor's mansion.

He ran outside the gate and stopped for a moment. Dozens of people stood outside the gate. Di Renjie, Changsun Quan led the way, all his colleagues from Wuzhou arrived, and there were also five county magistrates under his jurisdiction. They were all uncles and uncles, and they were all old subordinates of their fathers. Xiaoqing felt sad.

Everyone saw the ceremony, met the wife of Xingyang, and the magistrate of Jinhua County. Qin Li, the magistrate of Yiwu County, and took two steps forward and said: "The books of all people gathered the names of all people. It is difficult to complete them in time with the wife alone. Lao Wei and the others discussed. Each of them took away a few feet of cloth, visited the people of the county, and asked them to help sign the autograph."

Xiaoqing had tears in her eyes, and her throat was choked, and she kept nodding to thank her. She put down the food box in her hand, and took Nao Nao away. Sister Luo and Sister Zhang helped her to take off the heavy jade and silk. She lay the Jinhua Avenue, three feet wide and more than twenty feet long. Di Renjie took out the scissors and cut them off a few feet and folded them.

Qin Li took the jade and silk, put it in his arms, comforted his wife for a few words, and turned around and left. Wang Linrui, magistrate of Xin'an County, Sun Mao, magistrate of Longqiu County, Sun Yingyuan, magistrate of Yongkang County, and Wei Dingzhou, magistrate of Jinhua County, all put away their cloth, said some comforting words, and hurriedly left on horseback.

Changsun Quan opened the food box, took out the pen, ink, paper and ink, and dipped the brush lightly ink. When he came to the cloth, he signed his name without hesitation. Lao Di and Lao Zhang were slightly stunned. The boss had an affair with the princess, and he knew very well, why did he still sign his signature?

Xiaoqing looked at the name, walked up to Changsun Quan, bowed and thanked him sincerely. Changsun Quan picked up a brush and handed it to Di Renjie, and said calmly: "I hate his people, but I respect his actions and love the people as my heart as my son. In that situation at that time, I couldn't sacrifice myself for the people, and he deserved my signature."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and smiled bitterly. Li Chunfeng was right, only he could save me. Wanminshu's first signature, and I was exiled to Lingnan in the future. Queen Wu would not kill him. The silly woman in Xincheng was still too anxious. Why did she sacrifice her body if the signature could solve the problem?

Di Renjie looked at his back, understood his thoughts, and also accepted this favor. He lifted up his robe and squatted down, signed his name, and handed the brush to Zhang Jianzhi. All the officials signed the brush in this way. Xiaoqing walked up and bowed to the end: "Today's kindness will be rewarded later, thank you all."

The officials returned the greetings, comforted her, and said goodbye to her. Luo Binwang took out the scroll of paper and handed it to Cui Xiaoqing: "I wrote the exaggerated expression to plead for the boss, hoping to help him. The wife will accept it for now and present it to the court with Wanmin's letter."

Xiaoqing took the article and put it away carefully, tears flashed in her eyes. Zhang Jianzhi said: "The boss has the grace of saving Di Gong, and has the grace of knowing me and tourism. If the wife does not dislike it, the three of us will accompany you and ask the people to sign it."

Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears. Xiaoqing couldn't speak and kept nodding and thanking her. The three of them cleaned up the people's words, and Mrs. Di returned to the noodle, packed up the pen, ink, paper and ink. Everyone left Jinhua Road, came to the Dongming Market, discussed for a moment, and acted separately.

Xiaoqing walked into the grain store, and the shopkeeper quickly greeted her. She put down her daughter in her arms and bowed to him: "Hello, Manager Liu, I am Wukang's wife, I ask Wanmin to write a letter to go to Beijing to save my husband. Please be fine, can you sign a big name? I am very grateful."

Manager Liu was stunned and nodded quickly, patted his chest and said, "Madam, you are so polite. Duke Wu is very good at slavery. Last time, the governor blackmailed the gangster, and the governor personally solved the problem. Don't tell me the signature, I'm not vague even if I go to sue the emperor."

The simple words are the most touching. Xiaoqing opened the food box, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the Wanmin watch, and handed out the pen with both hands. Manager Liu did not be vague, signed the name directly, ordered his wife to go to the backyard, called out two sons, and signed the name respectively. Naonao put his hands together, and said childishly: "Thank you, uncle, thank you two brothers."

The shopkeeper said he didn't dare. The county magistrate was so innocent, and he kept shouting that he had committed evil in his heart. Good people were not rewarded. He wiped away the tears in his eyes, ran out of the door, and shouted: "Dear shopkeepers, my wife, I'll collect the letters of the people and go to Beijing to seek justice for the governor. Come and sign the autograph quickly. I said Zhu Datou, don't be a turtle, you must not forget your roots when you are a human being."

Manager Zhu rushed out of the store and shouted and said, "You have just shrunk your head. Last year, the pear garden has harvested a lot and the Wupear is piled up like a mountain, but I am worried. When the governor learned about this, he arranged for us to go to Hangzhou and sold out quickly. I said, Lao Qin and Lao Huang, you have also received kindness, so you can't be cowardly."

The middle-aged man cursed and scolded Zhu Datou for being a coward, so he quickly walked over here. The shop owner went out one after another, shouting for autographs, and rushed into Liu Ji rice and grain shop. Manager Zhu held the pen and suddenly felt bitter, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I can't write, my name is Zhu Erquan. All of them are Quanquan, Madam, please sign for them."

Cui Xiaoqing shook her head, picked up the spare paper and ink, and spread white paper on the table. She wrote his name, Chen Ken explained: "The books of the people are written by the people. Others are not sincere in writing, and they are also deceiving the saints and the court. I have trouble with the shopkeeper Zhu, writing them on the paper, which will cause you trouble."

Manager Zhu said he didn't dare to say that he held a brush in his big hand, and wrote a stroke and took a look at the traces on the paper. After a long time, he wrote the whole name. The words that were unsightly were like dogs, but they could touch people's hearts. Xiaoqing pulled Nao Nao and bowed to Manager Zhu to express his sincere gratitude.

Lao Zhu waved his hands repeatedly: "The governor helps us, and we help the governor. It is natural, so I should not be able to say thank you. Madam, please wait. Now I will go home and call the four cowards to come over. I will ask the governor to have Fu, they have been to school in a private school and must come over to sign."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away, the crowd cheered and approached the signature. He talked about praise and was excited. The governor was in Wu for four years and never made a name. Apart from commercial tax, we did not pay more than half a penny, and we had to repay the great kindness.

As the crowds were crowded, shopkeeper Liu shouted: "I won't do business today. Dalang and Erlang, move the table out and put it in front of our store. Then go to our house and notify Fangzheng and Fangmin, asking them to sign. Collect all the letters of the people as soon as possible, and let the wife come to Beijing as soon as possible, and we will welcome the governor back as soon as possible."

The masses all applauded, and the tide surged out of the street, and the venue was pulled out of the street. The people received the news, put down their work, and ran to this side. Dongming Road was out of water, Xiaoqing bit her lip and knelt down: "I can't repay my life-saving grace, so I kowtow to the villagers."

The people were in an instant and shouted, and several women came to help the mother and son up. Manager Liu wiped his tears and shouted to the crowd: "Madam and the county lord are life-long wives, we can't bear it. Let the governor's wife and daughter kneel down and worship, God will make his life short."

Huang Jianzhangguan asked: "The governor loves the people as much as his son. Everyone knows it. Now that he has been harmed by a traitor, he cannot ignore it. Everyone signs the autograph quickly, don't be idle after signing it. They run around and inform more people to come. I still don't believe it. There are tens of thousands of people in Wuzhou City, and I can't write a letter to the people?"

The shouts were deafening, and the people surrounded the wooden tables and rushed to sign their names. Lao Di and Lao Zhang received the news and came quickly to help. Luo Binwang brought bad people and maintained order on the spot. He moved out many tables, formed a circle in the middle of the road, and divided the books of the people into several copies, and several of them were responsible for it.

Those who know how to write directly signed, and those who don’t know how to write said names. Di Renjie first wrote on paper and asked them to write accordingly. The doctor of literature also came, bringing all the students of the state school to help the illiterate people. Teaching them to hold the pen, explain it tirelessly, and guiding them to sign.

Xiaoqing bit her lips tightly, clasped her hands together, and looked up at the sky. The master said right, sow good causes and good results, and benevolent policies can be rewarded. Looking to the northwest, I prayed devoutly to the Buddha, husband must be strong, and I will definitely save you from danger.

It takes time to collect books of the people, and it takes time to escort Wu Kang into Beijing. Entering Huainan Road, I finally felt relieved, Qian Shunpinglang did not show up. I was really worried that they would be in trouble and took their brothers to rob the prison cart. It was a death act. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the three hundred security guards were planning in Chang'an, which was more terrifying than robbing the prison cart.

Li Ji and Li Yuanjia did not make things difficult for him all the way, and they were delicious and delicious. When they were on the way, they took the prison bus and drove into the inn to drive the prison bus. They prepared to eat a lot of food and drink and meat every meal. They slept alone in the room and there was no one outside to guard them, so they were very relieved.

Li Yuanjia is a wonderful person. He carries a wine pot every day to drink and chat with him. Wu Kang knew very well about him and was once the key surveillance target because his son Li Zhuo would join the Li family in the future with Li Zhen, Li Chong and his son, and raise an army to oppose Mei Niang.

Later, the rebellion failed and was sentenced to death by Mei Niang and changed his surname to the clan. Detective Di Renli, the Shining of the Snake Spirit, was his descendant. What interested Wu Kang even more was his dexterity with his dexterity, his left hand drawn round and right hand drawn square, suitable for practicing and fighting with each other. He was also knowledgeable and talented, and was a great painter who married Fang Xuanling's daughter.

He is also a filial son. His mother, Concubine Yuwen, was seriously ill and bedridden. He cried and went on a hunger strike and almost left his mother. I really can't figure out why such a perfect person participated in the rebellion? Mei Niang treated you well and was named the first-rank Grand Marshal, plus the governor of Dingzhou (Dingzhou City, Hebei Province). Why is he not grateful?

On the third day of November, the team entered Henan Road and was getting closer and closer to Chang'an. On November 20, I arrived at Luoyang Inn. At about two o'clock in the hour of You, Li Yuanjia brought a pot to visit. After three glasses of wine, he laughed and said with a serious smile: "I have news about you in Chang'an City recently. Do you want to listen?"

Wu Kang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and knew that he could not hide his words, so he simply poured himself a drink. The King of Han didn't care and smacked his lips and sighed: "For you, the queen entrusted her relationships everywhere and walked everywhere. She even visited the Grand Marshal, but was rejected harshly and was anxious to seek medical treatment."

This is very reasonable. The one who wants to kill me the most is Changsun Wuji. I pushed the deposed Wang Liwu to capture Li Ji's support and plot against Changsun Chong. He must know the truth. It should be my luck, and it became the cover of the political struggle between Guanlong and Li Jiu.

You make a fuss about me, suppress Mei Niang's power, and cut off Mei Niang's wings. But it's a pity that you won't succeed. After drinking the wine in the glass, you took the wine pot and said lightly: "There's nothing else, go back, I'm going to rest."

Li Yuanjia snatched the wine pot back and put it on the two of them. He blinked and smiled, "I haven't finished speaking yet, but I'm still interested in the queen. You must be interested. This time you broke the sky, and the three brothers of the Wu family were all implicated by you and were all demoted from the capital."

Seeing Wu Kang's doubts, Li Yuanjia popularized science: "Your sister ascended the throne, the sage was named Wu's family, your aunt was named Daiguo's wife, your sister Yuan's wife was named Han. Wu Yuanqing was appointed as Zongzheng Shaoqing, Wu Yuanshuang was appointed as Shaoguan of the Shaofu, and Wu Weiliang was appointed as Shaoqing of the Weiwei."

It is normal for a person to attain enlightenment, and a chicken and a dog to ascend to heaven. Mei Niang hates them, but in order to stabilize the position of the rear, she must rely on their support. She chose to let go of her past grudges, arranged them to be an official, and arranged for me to enter Beijing and serve as the general of the Zuo Qianniu Guard. But I was not good at it, committed a heinous crime, and let her down.

Li Yuanjia continued: "It is because of you, Wu Yuanqing was demoted to the governor of Longzhou, Wu Yuanshuang was demoted to the governor of Haozhou, and Wu Weiliang was demoted to the governor of Shizhou. Empress Wu had a very bad relationship with them. When Duke Zhou died, the wife of Dai Guo went to join him and was kicked out of the house by them. Did he have a rift at that time?"

Wu Kang thought hard, but it was not actually the Wu brothers. The fundamental reason was that the warriors were the ones. He first married Xiangli, leaned against Li Yuan's thighs, and abandoned his wife. Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were with him, Wenshui's mother in his hometown. Later, Xiangli died of illness, and he did not go home to bury his wife.

Xuxian Hongnong Yang gave birth to three daughters and was favored by the palm treasure. The Wu brothers were very miserable. The father did not care when his mother died. He lost his mother's love and father's love, so he naturally was hostile to Yang. After the warrior died, Yang went to surrender and was driven out of the house by the two brothers.

I feel that it is understandable. If I think from the perspective of others, I don’t like Yang. But I will take them in because my sisters are so beautiful, so it’s okay to stay there to please the eye. But I won’t take the blame. Wu Yuanqing and the other two were demoted, and they were plotted by Yang.

He blocked Li Yuanjia's noise and tried hard to recall the history books, and his eyebrows gradually frowned. According to historical records, Yang invited three brothers to a banquet and told them that they were about to be promoted. He said this: Mei Niang wants to go through the grievances of the past and promote you again. He will help Mei Niang in the future.

When they heard that they were going to be promoted, they were very grateful and promised. However, Yang was a demon and began to turn over old accounts: when we drove us out, we ignored our past grudges and promoted you. So think about it carefully, who has enjoyed the blessings and who has gained the power.

This was too much. If it were me, I would have politely declined. The three brothers of the Wu family did the same, not eating the food they gave, and refused to be promoted again. Yang made a report, and Mei Niang was furious. In anger, she was all demoted from the central government, causing Wu Yuanqing to die.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Wu Kang stood up, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Li Yuanjia's scalp was numb, his eyes were so scary that he subconsciously got up and ran away. At this moment, the wine table was calm, and Old Li sighed and complained with a long sigh: "Don't be shocked, my uncle is timid."

Wu Kang sat down slowly, his eyebrows were clumps, and he began to summarize. After something happened to me, Mei Niang must have relied on them and wanted to promote them. She was a filial child, and her brother and mother were dirty, so she asked Yang for permission.

Yang used chicken feathers as a command arrow, and those words were said on purpose, with the purpose of angering Mei Niang and driving away the Wu brothers. Not only did he avenge him, but he also had a deeper purpose. The old woman was not simple. Mei Niang became the queen, and in order to stabilize her status, she had to rely on her mother's family.

Now my brothers and I are all in trouble. She can only rely on her uncle's family, namely the Yang family. The married woman is always close to her family. When she recalls history carefully, it seems that this is true. The Yang family of Hongnong made a comeback. Later, Mei Niang realized that she had been cheated by her mother, so she valued Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

Yang not only avenged a revenge and allowed his parents' family to take advantage of it, but it was a killing of two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Wu Kang sneered even more. She killed three birds with one stone. Now everyone thinks that the Wu brothers were demoted by me. Yang successfully turned the blame, and the Wu family would hate me, and she could stay out of the matter.

This old demon woman, I am a dying person, are you still cruel to plot? I feel very irritable, so I snatched the wine pot and raised my head, drank the wine in the pot, and slept on the bed. Li Yuanjia was bored, but he had no choice but to comfort him, and left with a sigh.

In the middle of the night, Wu Kang sat up and reached out to his waist. He looked at the figure beside the bed and quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "You are scaring me to death. This place is very dangerous. You can leave quickly."

Qian Shun clasped his fists and said, "Big Boss, don't worry, brothers, are lurking in the capital and are fully prepared. If you have nothing to do, everyone will be happy; if something happens to you, we sneak into Dali Temple, smash the prison door, rescue you, and flee to the Western Turks."

Wu Kang immediately ran away and stared at him and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? Killing Dali Temple Prison is equivalent to rebellion, which will implicate the queen. If you defect to the Western Turks, you can think of it, and your ancestors don't want it? Shunzi, I warn you not to do anything randomly."

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, Qian Shun's two-way tear was cleared, and he suppressed his throat and choked: "What's the point of that woman? Is it worth your efforts like this? In order not to implicate her, I am willing to be killed? He is the queen of the palace and has nothing to do with you, and you will never get her."

"Shut up," Wu Kang shouted in a deep voice, gradually softening his tone: "Treason is unforgivable. My family will die, your family will die, and your brothers will be implicated. Shunzi heard from me that you should not be selfish and cannot live for yourself."

Qian Shun shook his head: "This time you go to Beijing, you will definitely die. Too many people want you to die. Before entering Beijing, all the brothers were separated from the family tree and were all homeless people. Madam and the county lord, Di Renjie will arrange it, you have no worries. Listen to my advice, keep the green mountains there and don't worry about burning firewood."

Wu Kang was stunned on the spot, shook his head slowly for a long time, walked to Qian Shun, stared at him and said, "There are the imperial guards in the north of Chang'an and the sixteen guards in the south of the south of Chang'an, which are not a bag of wine. We can leave Dali Temple, but we can't get out of Chang'an City, and we can't leave the Tang Empire. Don't do stupid things, take your brothers back to Wuzhou and live a peaceful life."

Qian Shun shook his head again, turned around and strode away. Wu Kang's eyes were ripped off, and he followed him in two steps, pulled out his horizontal knife and put it on his neck. His wrists kept trembling, and he felt sad and persuaded him with great sincerity: "Former good brother, I lost Wen Ruo and Erniu, and the scholar also left me, and I don't want to lose you again."

He sighed softly, and put his sword in the sheath, almost begging: "In the world, only Queen Wu can protect my wife and daughter. She lives well, and Xiaoqing and Nao Nao can be carefree. Shunzi, I beg you, take your brothers and go home."

Qian Shun turned around and bowed to the end: "My premonition is very accurate. Only two can harm you. Wu Binlin is dead, and only Wu Meiniang is left. Qian Shun has always been obedient to you, but I won't listen this time. Since you don't kill me, don't interfere with me. Please take care of yourself."
