In the fourth year of Xianqing (659 AD), the fourth month of summer, Dingmao (21st), was three hours.

Wu Kang left Menxia Province, returned to the left and right office, and came to Changshi Academy to hand over the shift. He did not find Changsun Ze, but only found his clothes on the floor of the courtyard gate. Needless to think about it, it was Changsun Ze's revenge, this guy was petty.

The seventh-rank chief of the Changshi practiced the sixth-rank Qianniu Guard and relied on the power of the Changsun family. He was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he took off the Qianniu Kniu Killing and changed his clothes on the spot. He wore a black security suit, a gray tiger-head cloak, and three Tang swords. He sorted out the Qianniu Coat, put the Changshi Mansion steps, and walked out of the ward.

Walking out of Tongming Gate, there is a wide Tongming Street, and you can go directly to the Xiuzhen Shop. Farewell to all my colleagues, and walk about half a mile to meet a luxurious carriage. Xu Jingzong stuck his head out, looked sad, and his face turned into a bun, and he said hello with a weak voice: "A nephew who has changed, why did you come out? Get in the car and speak quickly."

Seeing his unlucky behavior, he must have no clue and can handle it today. Why should he push it to tomorrow? Li Jiu said he would find evidence, but there is no evidence for false accusation? Wu Kang couldn't figure out what medicine Li Jiu was selling. He sighed softly and blinked and joked: "Get out of the car and walk, you have too much fat, so you can lose eight kilograms first."

Xu Jingzong rolled his eyes, sighed and got out of the car, and the two walked side by side. His family lives in Puningfang, across the street from Xiuzhenfang, and they were on the way. When they passed by Xiuxiangfang, Wu Kang stopped and looked at the gate in a daze. When he was the governor of Wuzhou, a young monk asserted that he would be killed and said that he was in danger, and all of them were fulfilled.

When Mei Niang learned about this, she invited the monk to Chang'an and gave the Dharma name Zen Master Xiuyuan. She also built the Chong Buddhist Temple in Xiuxiangfang as his Zen Temple. Last year, the Buddhist temple was completed and Master Xiuyuan moved in. The queen and sisters Xiaoqing often came here to worship Buddha.

Wu Kang doesn't believe in Buddhism, passes by every day, and never visits. For some reason, he is guided by some emotion and has a strong desire to worship Buddha. Seeing Lao Xu's face full of sorrow, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I have a premonition that as long as I go to Chongfu Temple, I can find the answer. Let's go and have a look."

After saying that, when he walked into the gate, Lao Xu had no choice but to ask his servants to wait. When he arrived at Xiao Chongfu Temple, it looked really shabby and covered less than ten acres of land. This was not a Buddhist temple, it was clearly a Buddhist temple. It seemed that Mei Niang had no rights at this time.

When I entered the temple, I saw a little beggar squatting beside the western wall to drink porridge. Master Xiuyuan did good deeds and helped poor children, and was compassionate. At this moment, a little lady ran out of the Buddhist temple opposite, about five or six years old. She ran to the beggar and handed out the orange in her hand, with a very innocent smile.

The beggar didn't thank him, and couldn't wait to peel it, eating oranges with voracious appetites. The little lady watched quietly, her big eyes flashed and she let out a crisp laugh. The oranges at this time were all in the ice cellar, and she was born in a wealthy family.

Wu Kang stopped and watched. Such a harmonious scene brought a hint of sadness. It was when he was in elementary school, the little loli at the same table always gave him oranges. His life was difficult at that time, and his father did not contract the pear orchard and could not eat fruit at all.

He was like a beggar. He ate the orange flesh and then chewed the orange inner skin. He gnawed it layer by layer until the outer skin is sour and he didn't stop. The little loli at the same table also stared at this, making a silver bell laugh, and occasionally whispering his eyes.

I was stupid at that time and thought she liked me, but later I realized that she liked to tease me. Her family was wealthy, so the reason I gave it to oranges was to appreciate my dessert of eating orange peels. I felt it was ridiculous, life was full of maliciousness, and the damn little girl skin.

The little lady in front of her looked like she was beating, probably with the same mentality. The orange peel was getting thinner and thinner, and Wu Kang couldn't laugh or cry. The sad little beggar, we both felt sick. Suddenly, the light of inspiration suddenly appeared, and it seemed that she had thought of something, subconsciously stretched her eyebrows and crawled onto her face with a smile.

The Xiuyuan in the Buddhist temple suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the door. After a long time, he sighed lightly, looked at the woman who worshiped the Buddha, and clasped his hands together and said, "I beg the donor, don't step into my temple again. The disaster is destined to be destined. I can only tell you that the donor outside the church has a bad relationship with you."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and continued Amitabha Buddha. The woman's face turned slightly red, and she bowed three times in front of the Buddha and bowed to him. She stepped out of the hall gate, and a voice came from behind: Tell the donor outside the hall that he would die if he did unrighteous things. My temple would not welcome him.

The woman nodded and left. When she saw the scene in the yard, she couldn't help but frown. She ran to the west wall, pulled the little lady up, and turned around to block behind her. She looked like a hen protecting her cub, glaring fiercely with disgust and vigilance.

Wu Kangjue was familiar with her face, and quickly recalled her memory in her mind, and then sneered. Shangguan Yi's daughter-in-law, Shangguan Wan'er's mother, was really a narrow road for enemies. She was in a state of discomfort. She turned around and whispered: "I have guessed the thoughts of the saint, do you want to hear me?"

Isn't this nonsense? Xu Jingzong jumped his feet in a hurry and pulled his sleeve away. When his figure disappeared, Zheng sighed and squatted in front of the young lady, saying solemnly: "The man just now was a treacherous slander in the court. When he saw him in the future, he must avoid it."

The little lady nodded in a wooden manner, and when she saw her brother was very nervous, she felt inexplicable. In the carriage, Wu Kang was playing with Jin Yezi, which was also inexplicable. Xu Jingzong scratched his head anxiously, and his tone was full of begging: "Speak quickly, what does the saint mean? What is the evidence to look for?"

Wu Kang put away the golden leaves and thought for a moment and said, "My uncle misunderstood the holy intention. He did not ask you to find evidence, but to learn from the little beggar and eat the orange peel. Not only do he eat the flesh, but he also needs to chew the orange peel and squeeze out the entire value."

Xu Jingzong savored it carefully, suddenly widened his eyes, and his bearded trembled in a shiver. Wu Kang nodded and said lightly: "The saint cast a net and only caught a big fish, which was obviously not satisfied. He wanted his uncle to send more fish and shrimp into the big net and then catch them all in one go."

The atmosphere was quickly suppressed, and the two of them were sweating at the same time, wiping their foreheads and laughing bitterly at the same time. Xu Jingzong sighed and murmured to himself: "I finally understand that the saint mentioned Gao Yang's rebellion in the Political Consultative Hall, not to express his feelings about the past. I personally think that it was giving a handling opinion and dealing with it in reference to this case."

Wu Kang deeply agreed with Princess Gaoyang's rebellion, a typical political salon. There were only a few people who were amplified by Changsun Wuji and became the knife to eliminate dissidents. He forced all involved King Li Ke of Wu, King Li Daozong of Jiangxia, Prince Zhi Shili, etc.

Li Jiu's intention was to imitate the case, and infinitely scattered fish and shrimps. Thinking of this, he aimed at Lao Xu and was sarcastic: "Uncle couldn't fully understand it, so the saint got angry and gave you a day. If you still couldn't understand it, what would be waiting for you?"

Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly, wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and retorted: "Does the change believe that the saint asked you to enter the temple to protect him? He pulled you into the water and let us understand it together. If the requirements are not met, I am afraid that the one who is unlucky tomorrow will not be the only one who is unlucky tomorrow."

Wu Kang didn't comment, and he already knew it. Li Jiu, who killed thousands of swords, was the most eccentric in the world, and was calculating me. The fox hunting plan was just targeting Wuji, but he didn't expect it to be completely out of control. But it's good that this is the case. Let's calculate the general account for the people who cheated me. At the same time, fulfilling the promise, Mei Niang stays out of the matter, and I will bear the infamy.

Xu Jingzong turned his worries into joy, and his face turned into steamed buns. He said seriously: "If you change, go home first, let us know the wife of Chu, and then go back to Puningfang with me. Let's discuss together what fish should be in this big fishing net, what crimes should be made of, and how reasonable, we must confirm tonight."

That's all, Wu Kang nodded happily, leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes. He thought with a bad taste that if later generations follow the Tang Dynasty, there must be my place in "Biography of Treacherous Ministers". Should I let Lao Xu be behind him and become the second treacherous slander, or surpass Lao Xu and become the first treacherous slander.

Suddenly he laughed out loud, politics is a cesspool, and besides dirty feces, they are wriggling maggots. Changsun Wuji is greedy for power, and Li Zhi is in power urgently, and the resolution of the contradictions will end in death. It can be said that Changsun Wuji's fate was for sure when Li Zhi succeeded to the throne.

Without Wu Kang and Xu Jingzong, with Li Kang and Wu Jingzong, Wu Ji and Guanlong giants, they will never escape death. Li Zhi is the culprit, we are just chess pieces or custodians.

If I don’t implement it, he will kill me. Being with you is like a tiger. I comfort myself so much, and I don’t want the upcoming storm, and I feel much better.

The next day, at 3 o'clock, Wu Kang guarded the imperial palace in front of the government, holding his head up and not looking squinted. Li Jiu sat upright on the desk, and all the prime ministers were there, all of them were down. Xu Jingzong held an elephant tablet, and the content recorded on it was the truest lie. Last night, she racked his brains and struggled until the third day, and Li Jiu would be satisfied.

Xu Jingzong reported: "Last night, the Crown Prince Xima Wei Jifang had already revealed his rebellion against Wuji. I asked Wei Jifang: Wuji is close relatives to the country, and is his majesty's uncle, favored by the late emperor and His Majesty. The children of the Changsun family are all officials in the court. How much hatred does it mean? Why do you have to rebel?"

The atmosphere at the scene was strange. Li Jiyouran closed his eyes, Yu Zhining closed his eyes in pain, and his white eyebrows kept shaking. The rest looked down at the ground, as if it was nothing to do with him. Li Jiu was stunned, and his eyes gradually turned red. Wu Kang complained in his heart that the mediocre scene was about to begin.

Xu Jingzong was righteous and said nonsense: "Wei Jifang replied that Han Yuan once said to Wuji: Liu Shi and Chu Suiliang persuaded King Liang to be the crown prince. King Liang was deposed, and Your Majesty had doubts about the Grand Marshal, so he demoted him and went to the capital to become an official."

In just a few short sentences, it included Han Yuan and Liu Shi, the deceased Chu Suiliang and Shen Duke Gao Lixing. They shared the same title, the leader of the Guanlong family and the clan of Changsun Wuji. Liu Shi was the uncle of Queen Wang. At that time, Queen Wang had no son, Liu Shi and Wuji adopted Li Zhong, who lived in Liu Gong, and appointed him as the crown prince.

Gao Luxing was Wuji's cousin. He was probably the first year of Xianqing, after the deposed Wang and Wu, he served as the governor-in-chief of Yizhou. He was a filial son. When his parents died, he had a sad hunger strike and was praised by Taizong Dun. During his tenure as the chief minister, he was repeatedly blessed with the people and was praised by officials. Wu Kang did not want to be implicated, but Lao Xu refused to agree and was helpless.

Li Jiu was about to cry, and Xu Jingzong continued: "Wuji became suspicious and was worried all day long. In order to seek self-protection, he evaded the history museum to compile historians. Later, the clan nephew Chang Sun Xiang was demoted from the court, and Han Yuan was later convicted. Wuji became even more frightened and committed a major rebellion with Wei Jifang and others day and night."

The unlucky Changsun Xiang was originally the Minister of Works. He opposed the deposed Wang Liwu and was demoted to the Chief Secretary of Jingzhou. Wu Kang admired Xu Jingzong and could pick up all those who were scattered by the traitors. Aside from the loyalty and treacherous, Lao Xu was indeed talented and had a memory far beyond ordinary people.

He originally wanted to carve Laiji, but was dissuaded by Wu Kang. Before he established Empress Meiniang, Li Jiu wanted to confer her Concubine Chen, but was stopped by Han Yuan Laiji. Meiniang became the queen and asked to commend Laiji, calling her loyalty. In fact, she killed people with a soft knife, which made Li Jiu even more disgusted with them. At the same time, she divided Han and Lai combined.

However, what is ridiculous is that this letter of commendation saved Lai Ji's life. Last night, Wu Kang advised: Lai Ji was commended by Mei Niang, but now he was involved in it, and it was a slap Mei Niang in the face. I would not agree, and Mei Niang also disagrees, so let's do it yourself.

At this moment, Lao Xu put down the elephant scepter in the hall of the government and said with confidence: "I have checked the statements and they are all true. Please arrest them according to law. There is also evidence. Last year, the water from Xianchi was flowing away and a large area of ​​garden was burned. Sun Dan, the chief supervisor of Shanglin, planted eight poplar trees when he was restoring the garden. Fortunately, he was discovered and told the old minister in time, so that Ji Fang would confess."

Everyone looked up, their eyes focused on Wukang, silent. The prime ministers were all knowledgeable and knew what the poplar trees meant. Changsun Dan planted poplars and cursed the palace as a tomb. Whether intentional or not, they were rebellious and rebellious. The Changsun family was completely finished.

Wu Kang wanted to curse her, why did the damn Xu Jingzong take no regard for the agreement and pull me into the water? The old fox present knew what to do. Master Xu said first: "The evidence in this case is conclusive. I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to arrest the relevant criminals."

Xin Mao's general immediately agreed, Li Jie was out of the matter, and Yu Zhining stared at Wu Kang. Suddenly, the crying sounded again, and Li Jiu shouted loudly: "Even if I rebelled, I will never kill me. If I kill my uncle, how will the people in the world discuss? How will the descendants of the future be discussed?"

The crying was heartbreaking, and Wu Kang sneered, "Don't be the emperor, go and sing a big show." You, who is black and cruel, expressed two meanings: first, confirm Wuji's rebellion, and secondly, pretended to perform mercy, expressing your mercy, and exempt Wuji from the death penalty, so as not to be ridiculed by the people.

When Gao Yang rebelled, you said the same thing, Changsun Wuji disagreed. Then at this moment, Lao Xu also disagreed.

As expected, Old Xu Yi said sternly: "Bo Zhao, the uncle of Emperor Wen of Han, assisted him in inheriting the throne, and he worked hard and made great contributions. However, Bo Zhao killed Zhong Yu, and Emperor Wen cried bitterly and sent ministers to his residence to cry for funerals, forcing him to commit suicide."

Xu Jingzong shouted: "However, to this day, everyone in the world thinks that Emperor Wen of Han is a wise lord. Wuji failed the kindness of the two dynasties and tried to subvert the country. His crimes are not the same as those of Bo Zhao. Fortunately, the traitors revealed themselves and all the gangs confessed. Why is Your Majesty hesitating?"

Li Jiu cried even louder, and the same kind of speech. Xu Jingzong continued to persuade: "The ancients said that they should be constantly interrupted and suffer from chaos. The opportunity for safety is urgent. Wuji is now a traitor, Wang Mang, Sima Yi and others. If Your Majesty hesitates, I am afraid that the situation will worsen and it will be too late to regret it. Please give up your order and kill the traitor and wicked Wuji."

After saying that, he knelt down, and the Xianghu was placed on the ground, and the kowtowed and banged. Master Xu and General Xin Mao confirmed their eyes and bowed to each other and expressed their support, but they did not kowtow. Li Ji saw the wind and moved, got up and came to the front of the hall, and chose to discuss. Yu Zhining was dead and had no expression, staring at Wu Kang.

Wu Kang felt very unfair. I said Mr. Yu that the eight poplar trees had nothing to do with the overall situation. It was just an excuse to make Li Jiu silence and legalize the case. You also understand that without those eight poplar trees, Wu Ji would definitely die, so why bother venting his anger?

The crying was still loud, and Li Jiu stamped his feet and beat his chest: "Why did he force each other to force me to kill my uncle? I will never kill my uncle Yuan. Sikong Li Ji issued an edict to dismiss the Grand Marshal of Yuan, and all his fiefs were cut off. He was the Grand Commander of Yangzhou and sent him to Qianzhou to settle the first rank and provide him with the first rank."

The so-called "never kill" is just a trick to deceive children. There are hundreds of ways to force Changsun Wuji to commit suicide. Crocodiles will shed tears when they eat prey, which is called crocodile tears. Li Jiu's grandson, tears are more fake than crocodiles, allowing himself to occupy a moral high point.

Everyone in the world says that Mei Niang is cruel, but compared to Li Jiu, a small witch is a big witch. In such a major case of treason, the defendant was not there throughout the whole process, and he did not summon Wuji to confront him and made a judgment directly. It can be seen how strong the heart of killing Wuji is.

Xu Jingzong stopped kowtowing again, which was incredible. He was about to continue to persuade him, but when he saw Wu Kang's eyes, he hesitated and closed his mouth. Li Ji stood up to salute, and after coming to the desk, he took a pen to draft the edict. Master Xu and Xin Mao were confirming and signed the edict.

Li Jiu and Zhu Bi Yu criticized the imperial edict, and the edict was announced to take effect, and he covered his face and cried again. Wu Kang knew very well that this was a step-by-step process, first confirming the charges, and then killing them. After three or five months, if the established facts are created, he will raise the butcher knife.

Now that the main culprit has been decided, it is time to deal with the accomplices, Xu Jingzong reported again: "Wuji's plan to rebel was made by Chu Suiliang, Liu Shi and Han Yuan, who jointly formed a fan. I asked Your decree to surrender and kill the traitors of the rioters and rule the country."

Li Jiu was very satisfied and was not in the mood to act again. He accelerated the process of closing the net and ordered the prime minister to issue an edict: Suiliang's official title was cut off, his family was exiled to Aizhou, and his female family members were invaded into the Yeting Court; Liu Shi and Han Yuan were dismissed from office and removed from office; Yizhou Governor Shi Gao performed and demoted to the governor of Hongzhou.

Secretary-General Sun Chong, Honglu Shaoqing Changsun Huan, Changsun Jun, Changzhou Governor Changsun Yan, Changshui County Governor Changsun Yan, Shangyi Zhichang Sun Wen, Shanglin Governor Sun Dan, Shangyi Fenghuang, Chengzhou Governor Changsun Xu, Xiangzhou Governor Changsun Zhan, Shangyi Fenghuang, Shangyi Fenghuang, Shangsun Jin, Left Commander left and right prefecture Changsun Run, Taichang Shaoqing Changsun Run, etc., were all dismissed from office.

He is really cruel. Wuji's twelve sons were all exiled to Lingnan and fend for themselves. Thinking of Changsun Ze, Wu Kang secretly despised him. If he doesn't have a diamond, don't mess with me. He will make a clever trick in exchange for a family disaster. It's really not worth it.

After dealing with the direct lineage, he then dealt with the clan members. Changsun Xiang was exiled to Lingnan and Changsun Quan was exiled to the vicious states. I remember Gao Yang's rebellion, and Li Ke cursed before his death: Changsun Wuji steals authority and frames goodness, and his ancestors have spirits, so his clan will be destroyed.

The Changsun family fell apart, and the curse of King Wu was fulfilled, and the cause and effect were cycled, and retribution was unhappy. Now it was just exiled, and when the butcher's knife was swung, blood would flow into a river. Wu Kang could be sure that the Changsun family could survive for three generations, and the second generation would undoubtedly die.

When I thought of Changsun Quan, I was full of helplessness. What should come will always come. You can hold on to Xincheng. Mei Niang won’t kill Changsun Quan because when I was in trouble, he signed the letter of the people. Now I can only pray that Li Jiu will be kind to you. For your sake, I will let Changsun Quan go.

At this time, the overall situation was settled. Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, ignored the gentleman's agreement, and showed his fangs again, shouting loudly: "I reported Yu Zhining and rely on Wuji's gangsters, please let Your Majesty observe clearly."

Lao Yu had no expression on his face and seemed to be free from his disposal. Nothing more than being sad than being heartbroken. Li Jiu had disliked him for a long time. He just agreed that you were just pretending to be deaf and dumb, and obviously disagreeing. So he issued another order to remove all his official positions and take back his official residence.

Yu Zhining opened his eyes, as if he was much older, and staggered away from the hall. Wu Kang withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Jingzong, and looked contemptuously. You are really a treacherous minister. Without Yu Zhining, Li Ji was not in charge, so you are the boss.

But then again, the life and death of others has nothing to do with me. As long as Changsun Quan is not dead, as long as Xincheng is open-minded, as long as my Erya is safe, and other loves are all done. Gradually, I made up my mind to take Xiaoqing to visit the princess of Xincheng in a few days...
