In the fourth year of Xianqing (659 AD), the fourth month of summer, Dingmao (21st), and the fifth hour of Chen.

Wu Kang wore a green robe with a flowery green robe, an isosceles trapezoidal military hat, and a Thousand Niu Knife on his back. He wore a schema bag on his right, a schema horizontal knife on his left, and a short barrier knife on his bottom. The four-style battle knife of the Tang Dynasty was just a mo knife, which looked like a human-shaped weapon.

Leaving the left and right mansions, along the spacious horizontal street, heading to the right and left mansions. Passing by the other provinces of the Central Secretariat, came towards the guards: two Qianniu prepared themselves, two prepared themselves, sixteen prepared themselves, and sixteen guards.

Stopped on the side of the road and waited for the team to come to the side, the captain raised his guard and shouted to stop. Wu Kang put on a smile and walked to the captain. His words were gentle and soft, but they were unquestionable: "Shen Qing went to Weifang to hand over, and then went home to take care of his wife. I'll be on duty for you."

Cui Shenqing suddenly had a bitter face, nodded in depressed mood, handed out a patrol battle, and walked towards Weifang angrily. Wu Kang sneered, this little bastard should be loose again. He glanced at the guards, blinked at the deputy captain, held the battle high with his right hand, and led the team forward.

Shen Qing was twenty-four years old, and the two were about the same age. Wu Kangxu was three months old. He was Cui Yixuan's sixth son, Xiaoqing's brother, and his brother-in-law. He had been mourning for Lao Cui for three years, and brought his family to join him, so he lived in Xiuzhenfang. Mei Niang got the news and arranged for the right to lead the left and right offices, and the official position was to prepare for the left and right.

Wu Kang warmly welcomed his brother-in-law, and someone finally shared his wife's violent temper. He was in a good mood recently, and the fox hunting operation was progressing very smoothly. The prince Xima Wei Jifang and the supervisor of the censor Li Chao have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and the Secretary-General Xu Jing was tried.

Lao Xu showed his true nature as a treacherous minister. Wei Jifang couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging himself yesterday. Fortunately, he was rescued by the prison minister of the Ministry of Justice and took away his belt. Thinking of this, he was so sorry that he was not strong enough. Lao Xu, who had always been smart, suddenly became stupid and had to remind him.

Following the patrol route, enter the right Yanming Gate and come outside the Secretariat Province. The team stopped and observed through the Secretariat. The familiar Fatty Xu was staring alone. Jiezhang handed to Xu Zisui, squinting his eyes and whispered: "Brother Zisui led the team, I will say a few words to Xu Zhongshu."

Xu Zi then accepted it happily and asked to go to the yamen to drink. Wu Kang nodded decisively and watched them leave. Both of them were good wine and had a close relationship. He was the second son of Master Xu. His daughter was even more powerful. In the future, she married the poet Li Bai and had a son and a daughter.

He walked into the Secretariat, came behind Xu Jingzong, covered his mouth and coughed a few times. When he turned around, he bowed and clasped his fists, and smiled: "Qianniu is ready for Wukong, see Uncle Xu. Uncle's back is lonely. I'm here to find out why he is sad."

Xu Jingzong signaled to avoid the ceremony and sighed, "A nephew who has changed, why should I ask him knowingly? Ji Fang failed to hang himself. He was the prince who washed his horse, and the impact was too bad. Yesterday, the saint summoned him and rebuked him in his words, and his uncle was in a state of great anxiety."

The saint's rebuke is not because of Wei Jifang, but because of your slowness. Wu Kang's eyes flashed slightly and said seriously: "It is difficult to convince people that the prince's close minister and a fifth-rank official hanged himself because of a clique. My nephew secretly thought that Wei Jifang's suicide hanged behind him, and he had to keep some secrets."

Xu Jingzong was disdainful, and soon the fat flesh trembled violently, and his feet couldn't help but stagger. Wu Kang quickly helped him, but he grabbed his right hand and headed straight to the southwest of the Secretariat. He turned around and came to the southwest independent courtyard and ordered his men to guard the gate.

He walked to the innermost room, closed all the doors, stared at Wu Kang for half a quarter of an hour, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that in July of the second year of Yonghui, Li Hongtai, a native of Luoyang, reported Wuji's rebellion. The saint asked without asking, and directly ordered Qianniuwei to behead him and abandon the market."

There was such a thing. In the end, Yu Zhining advised Li Hongtai to behead him. But this time, Li Jiu urgently needed Changsun Wuji to help him consolidate the throne. At this moment, Li Jiu regarded him as an enemy and wanted to kill him.

Wu Kang nodded, pondered for a few breaths, and changed the topic: "From the former Sui Dynasty to our dynasty, emperors of five generations spared no effort in destroying Goguryeo. Wu Kang was a little talented and could not understand the clues, so he asked his uncle to solve the doubts."

Xu Jingzong was shocked and was discussing Wuji. What was Goguryeo talking about. Without thinking, he said: "Goguryeo has many soldiers and generals, with subway mines everywhere, the border is close to the grassland, and there are sources of war horses. It is a confidant. For example, any emperor will be regarded as a strong enemy and must be destroyed quickly."

After saying that, he sat on the Taishi chair, pointed to the high chair opposite, and signaled to sit down and talk. Wu Kang took off the Qianniu Knife, took the knife and took the seat and smiled: "My uncle's words are reasonable. The existence of Goguryeo is a threat to the Tang Dynasty. In a word, how can others snore on the side of the bed?"

Xu Jingzong nodded, and cunning flashed in his eyes, understanding the implication. The dormant Changsun Wuji is a jackal hiding in the dark, a sharp blade hanging above his head. Only by completely eradicating can one be completely at ease. I have always dreamed of killing Changsun Wuji.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Wu Kang smacked his lips and said straight to the point: "Wuji colluded with Ji Fang, framed loyal ministers and close relatives, attempted to regain power, and then took advantage of the siege to rebel. Yesterday's conspiracy was exposed, and Ji Fang chose to commit suicide in fear of crime in order to protect Wuji."

Old Xu picked up his long beard with no surprise or stumbled around the bush, and said with a firm word: "The purpose of change is to let me meet the saint and report Wuji's rebellion. Go back to the question just now, how can you guarantee that you will not follow Hongtai's footsteps? The fox did not catch it, but instead made a flirtatious. If the saint disliked me, I would lose my official position and get rid of my title."

Damn old fox, you, Shengjun Zhenglong, can't lose your official position. My promise is useless. I guess in your heart, I want to report the rebellion, but I'm just hesitant. And my job is to help you make up your mind to start this political storm.

Seeing that the white jade paperweight was exquisite, he played with it in his hand and said sarcastically: "On the day of Bingchen this month, the prince's tutor Yu Zhining was promoted to the prince's junior teacher. He was exempted from his Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and he was still the third rank of the subordinate of the Zhongshu. He promoted his empty title and dismissed his actual position. Uncle Xu, what does this mean?"

Xu Jingzong ignored the deaf ears, took away the jade paper, wiped it carefully, and re-placed the book case, complaining seriously: "This is mutton fat jade, given to me by the queen, worth more than 800 jin. If you break it, it doesn't matter to my uncle, and the queen will definitely beat you up."

The old fox refused to accept the call, and Wu Kang was not too slow: "If the saint wants to move Wuji, they need to shut up. Li Jie must shut up, but Yu Zhining is not sure. The exemption of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe was a warning to him. If he did not know the current affairs, he would lose more official positions and even demoted him to Chang'an."

He looked at Xu Jingzong and said with a firm word: "The saint asked you to preside over the trial in the case of Wei Jifang and Li Chao, just to let you take the opportunity to pull Sun Wuji into the water. Warning Yu Zhining was the first political signal for Uncle Xu. But unfortunately, Uncle didn't catch it, so it can be said that you failed to understand the saint's will."

He took the paperweight again and continued to play with it. He said coldly: "On the Yichou day of this month, Huangmen Minister Xu Wu, and the third rank of the subordinates of the Secretariat, the new prime minister appeared. He is from Anlu, Anzhou, not the Guanlong clan, and he is also dirty with Wuji. This is given by the saint, and you still didn't catch the second political signal."

Xu Jingzong stood up again, took back the white jade paperweight, and continued to wipe it, but his fingers trembled. Wu Kang rubbed his hands and said lightly: "Yesterday, the saint scolded him, not because of Wei Jifang's suicide, but because of your disadvantage. This is the third signal. If you ignore him, wait for uncle..."

The implication is self-evident. Wu Kang reached out and took the Jade Paper back from his stiff palm, and said to himself: "The saint set up a chess game, but the chess piece is unknown. It's really bad. Just like before the war, the sword suddenly rusted. No matter how expensive it is, I will give it up, and I will risk my life."

After a long period of silence, Old Xu sat down depressedly, his fat flesh trembled. He frowned and said in great confusion: "This matter is very important. If there is any change, I will lose my official position. What I said just now is the queen's instruct or take his own initiative? Let me tell you the truth, without the queen's support, I dare not act rashly."

Wu Kang laughed silently, looked straight into his eyes, and said loudly: "Whether the queen knows it doesn't matter whether the overall situation is concerned, I let her go. So Uncle Xu, if she dies of this, she will not express any opinions."

Xu Jingzong was silent again, pursed his lips and said lightly: "Wuji has been a prime minister for 30 years. I am really afraid of the great people of the Changsun family. Even if the saint supports it, it is not foolproof. I need help, at least Master Xu, and it is best for General Xin Mao."

Wu Kang shook his head decisively, put the paperweight in place, and then gave a heart-boosting injection: "I saw the yard empty the day before yesterday, and suddenly had a whim and planted a few poplar trees. But my wife got angry and picked up the broom and hit me, which made me run away with my head. Finally, she ordered my servant to pull out all poplars. Uncle Xu, why is this?"

Lao Xu said lightly: "My wife did the right thing. If my juniors planted poplars in the courtyard, they would break his legs. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Tong, the crown prince of Zhaoming, compiled "Selected Works of Zhaoming". It contains nineteen poems from Han Dynasty, including "The Days of Memorials of the Departure", do you know how to change it?"

Wu Kang nodded and recited softly: "Those who leave are often distant, and those who are alive are already close. When they go out of the village, they look directly at the hills and tombs. The ancient tomb plows are fields, and the pines and cypresses are destroyed as firewood. The poplars are full of sad winds, and they are whispering to kill people. I want to return to my hometown, and I want to return to the road without a cause."

Xu Jingzong smiled slightly: "Popular trees have many sad winds, and they are whispering to kill people. Since the Southern Liang Dynasty, poplar trees represent death and graves. Many eulogies and eulogies use poplars to express grief, which is especially popular in our dynasty. Planting poplars at home and turning their homes into graves, and the wife will definitely beat you."

Wu Kang nodded repeatedly. Your old man is knowledgeable and suddenly pretended to be surprised: "No, Uncle, I visited the queen last month and found many poplar trees in the garden of Xianchi Hall. Mei Niang once told me that last year, Sun Dan, the chief supervisor of the Shanglin Bureau, was responsible for restoring the garden."

In less than five seconds, Old Xu suddenly stood up, his face full of incredible eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Kang. He smiled lightly first, then laughed loudly, and finally laughed wildly to the sky. He danced and knocked down the wooden chair, picked up the white jade paperweight, put it in Wu Kang's arms, pulled his sleeves out.

Wu Kang was not too slow, so he put the paperweight into a calculation bag, patted his fat hand off, and behind the back of the sword. Old Xu didn't care, opened the door and ran away, his body trembling. He ran to the Zhongshu Hall and ordered Zhongshu Shi to invite Li Jie and Yu Zhining, Xu Shi and Xin Mao General to gather in the Zhengzheng Hall.

He ordered the Secretariat to ask the Tai Chi Palace man to report the news and respectfully invite the saint to come. He also pulled Wu Kang's sleeve and said impatiently: "Go with me, Changsun Wuji rebelled, Bai Yang is the evidence. Success or failure is today. You are the main witness and cannot be out of the matter."

Wu Kang readily agreed, strode behind him, and his smile became more and more strange. He walked past Tai Chi Hall, entered Zuo Yanming Gate, and came to the gate of the gate. Lao Xu entered the Political Affairs Hall, his face was extremely flushed, and he kept rubbing his fat hands, and he probably had an orgasm.

Only by killing Wuji can he rest assured and be as stable as Mount Tai. Li Ji faded out of politics, the sages hated Zhining, and the rest were not afraid of them. In the future, no one could shake him in the entire court, and no one could surpass him.

Wu Kang was the Qianniu Guard. He couldn't enter the Political Affairs Hall, so he closed the door and stood at the door to escort the guard. After about half a quarter of an hour, the patrol team appeared, and it was his own team. He turned his eyes a few times, and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a white jade paperweight to block their way.

Sai Xu Zisui's hand and said softly: "Sorry, Brother Zisui, I'm not allowed to drink with you. Today I'm a party, so I'm sorry to exchange paperweight for wine. After going to the yamen to hand over, I will lead the brothers to Pingkangfang for fun."

The guards were not in a mess, and they all looked happy and shook their eyes at him. Xu Zisui shook his head and whispered: "I don't know what happened. This is mutton fat white jade, worth more than 800 jin. Please pack it up quickly. Today I am the boss, and I will be responsible for the wine money."

Wu Kang pushed it over again and said with great wealth: "I said I can't spend money on my business. This white jade paperweight is to drink money tonight. Brother Zisui quickly takes it. If you don't feel bad, let your good son-in-law write me a few poems in forty or fifty years."

Xu Zisui couldn't help but smack his tongue. He heard the footsteps outside the yard, quickly put away the paperweight and led the guards to leave. He kept complaining in his heart, Bianzhi said that he was very strange. I haven't gotten married yet, so where did my daughter and son-in-law come from? He also said that forty or fifty years, can you predict the future?

The person who came was Master Xu. When he saw Xu Zisui, he glared at him fiercely. He nodded at Wukang and hurried into the Political Consultative Hall. About half a quarter of an hour, Xin Mao and Yu Zhining came. Xin Mao nodded kindly, but Yu Zhining ignored it.

Wu Kang smiled bitterly. To be honest, he admired Lao Yu very much. He was similar to Wei Zheng, both of whom were upright officials. He had advised Li Chengqian several times, which made his grandson angry and secretly sent an assassin to assassination. When Yu Zhining learned about it, he simply lay down on the mat with a broken mat and the loess outside the mat. The assassin could not bear to take action, so he was spared.

But unfortunately, he represented the Guanlong clan and was the target of Li Jiu's cleaning. This time, if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can stay for a few more years. As long as you plead with mercy, you will definitely be dismissed or even demoted from Chang'an.

He continued to wait boredly. After about half an hour, Li Ji appeared. He walked around Wukang and slowly turned his head and smiled strangely. I guess this old guy was already very happy. With his cunning, he must have known it. Changsun Wuji was gone, so he was also restless. As long as his descendants did not rebel, they could maintain prosperity for several generations.

After another half a quarter of an hour, Li Jiu appeared in front of him, and Li Yang's team guarded him. It was estimated that the entire palace would appear only when he was in control. Wu Kang stepped forward to salute, but listened to the Dantian order: My dear will enter the palace to protect him.

Guarding the yarn, no one in the old guy inside can beat you except the boss Li Ji. After complaining about opening the hall gate, he and Li Jiu only had their eyes and no mouths behind him. Everyone saluted and went to the inner hall together, looking for their own seats. Wu Kang was guarding the side, his body was as tall as a pine.

Xu Jingzong made a brilliant appearance and according to Wu Kang's words, he threw out a bombshell: "I told Your Majesty that Ji Fang wanted to deal with Wuji, and framed loyal ministers and close relatives, so that the great power would return to Wuji, and waited for an opportunity to rebel. Today, the rebellion happened, Ji Fang committed suicide for fear of the crime, so please let Your Majesty observe clearly."

The needle fell in an instant, and Li Ji was calm and dumbfounded. Master Xu and General Xin Mao quickly returned to normal. Yu Zhining was stunned for a moment, his lips trembled three times, and finally chose to speak. Wu Kang felt glad that you always performed well, so continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Li Jiu suddenly stood up, his face full of incredible feelings, and then he was shocked: "What is this? What Xu Qing said is true? My uncle was provoked by a villain. He may be suspicious of me or complaining about me. How could he be so rebellious?"

Everyone knew this and knew it. Yu Zhining closed his eyes in pain. This question has been identified as a case of rebellion. Wu Kang secretly complained, but as expected, a black-hearted bastard. His implication is to guide his subordinates to jump out and turn the question mark in other words, to make the question affirm.

The old fried dough stick Xu Jingzong would not disappoint him, and immediately reported loudly: "After my careful investigation, the evidence has been conclusive. After repeated investigation, the reversal has been revealed. To this day, Your Majesty still thinks it is doubtful, and it is not a blessing for the country."

As the question became certain, Li Jiu burst into tears and paused his feet and beat his chest: "It's a misfortune to the family. Why do my relatives have many different ambitions? In previous years, Princess Gaoyang colluded with Fang Yiai to rebel, and today's uncle Yuan is the same. I am ashamed of the people of the world. If this matter is true, how should I deal with it?"

The prime minister all stood up to stop Your Majesty from self-harm. Take care of the dragon body. Wu Kang felt that it was not Li Jiu behind him, but Liu Bei of Shu Kingdom. In terms of the degree of blackness, they were both the best in history. His words just now were the final conclusion, and he asked directly what to do and perfectly grasped the rhythm.

Old Xu was also confused. It was so smooth. If I had known this, I would have been on the way. I took a few breaths and replied loudly: "I love you and rebelled with a woman, it is impossible to succeed. Wuji assisted the late emperor to seek the whole world, and the world would obey his wisdom. He was the prime minister for thirty years and feared his power. If he rebelled, who would His Majesty send to stop him?"

Li Jiu did not speak, but cried. Lao Xu continued: "The ancestral temple showed its spirit, and the emperor was afraid of evil. Because of small matters, he was traitorous, and the world was celebrated. I was very worried. Wuji learned that Ji Fang committed suicide, but he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. In a hurry, he raised his arms and shouted, and the evils gathered quickly, and he would be worried about the ancestral temple!"

Everyone remained silent, watching their eyes, nose and nose, and watching the performances of the king and ministers. Wu Kang was convinced and said, Lao Xu was knowledgeable and talented, and his words were touching. If what he expected was not bad, after he had finished talking about the big truth, should he present the facts?

As expected, Lao Xu continued: "Former Sui Yuwen Shu was trusted by Emperor Yang and married the government. When Yuwen Shu died, he was in charge of the imperial guards. He caused chaos in Jiangdu overnight. If he killed the unsatisfied first, his family would also suffer disaster. Su Wei and Pei Ju all followed the leader, for fear of causing trouble. The Sui family was destroyed day and night, and the past was not far away. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision."

What Lao Xu said is true, that's the case. His father Xu Shanxin was killed by Yu Wenhua and during the Jiangdu coup. He begged and saved his life. He first joined the Wagang Army, then Li Shimin, became a bachelor of the Qin Mansion, and began to rise to the top.

Everyone was still silent, Li Jiu was still crying, feeling quite heartbroken. After a long time, the crying gradually stopped and his voice choked: "I can't believe it, that's my uncle, why are he involved in the rebellion? Xu Aiqing continued to interrogate and found the real evidence, and report it tomorrow."

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Xu Jingzong was very happy and there was evidence. He could not only block the court officials' mouths, but also block the mouths of the people, and would not attract criticism. He glanced at Wu Kang quietly, looked at him with gratitude, and then looked at Li Jiu in front of him and replied: "Don't wait for tomorrow, the evidence is conclusive. Please ask Your Majesty to judge..."

Suddenly, everyone's hearts trembled violently. Li Jiu slapped the table and angrily scolded Xu Jingzong: "I asked you to retrial and find conclusive evidence and report it tomorrow."

After saying that, he left with tears in his eyes, leaving everyone in a daze. About three minutes, Li Ji left first, and everyone followed closely, leaving only Xu Jingzong confused. Wu Kang frowned slightly. Li Jiu wanted to deal with Wuji and could do it now. Why wait until tomorrow? What medicine was he selling in his silence?
