Chapter 24 The Coming Coup

In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the first day of the third month of spring, and the second hour of Xu.

In Changshoufang, Taiyuan City, two commissars gathered together in the middle of Sunjia Hutong. One held a gong in his hand and the other held a gong in his hand. The two men beat the gong twice, and the gong sounded twice, and then they said in unison: At the time of Xu, the sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle...

The anti-gun man walked to the entrance of the alley, and suddenly stopped holding the gong, turned around and looked around to investigate. He raised the lantern in his hand, looked at the courtyard ahead, and muttered for a moment: "Did you notice that Qilang, have you noticed that a black shadow flashed by just now, as if it flashed into the Sun's house."

Mu Ran shook his head with the bang. For safety reasons, he carried the lantern and carefully checked the door. After checking, he stood up straight and blamed himself in anger: "Don't make a fuss. The saint came to Taiyuan and the left and right Wuhou patrolled day and night, and no one dared to offend the night. Even if the villain appeared, he would not offend Sun Po. Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?"

The man who took the gong hesitated and quickly nodded in agreement. Qilang's words were justified. Sun Po saved lives and helped the wounded. There were countless people living there, and the people called him "living Bodhisattva". The rogues in Bingzhou dared not offend her and would be punished. The two looked at each other and shook their heads, left the Sun's Hutong, and continued to fight for the update.

Wu Kang, who was hanging the courtyard wall, gently closed the dagger. The conversation between you two saved your lives. Be careful to land, pick the small steel crossbow, aiming at the northwest direction, which was where the doghouse was. He held the pathfinding stone in his left hand and threw it out with force. The wolf dog heard the movement and rushed out of the shack quickly.

The two light blue balls are the reflective eyeballs of the dog, providing the best target. Without waiting for it to scream, they decisively pull the crossbow, and the basketball on the left disappeared. The crossbow penetrated directly into the back of the head, and the sound was inaudible. The guard dog died in a bad life. Wu Kang put away the crossbow and entered the backyard through the corner gate according to his daytime memory.

In the study room in the northwest, there was a dim light, and Wu Kang frowned. He approached carefully, hiding outside the threshold, gently pressing against the window frame with his ears, but he heard the old voice: Since the distinguished guest has come, let's go into the house and talk. He is old and weak, and it is not convenient to go out to greet him.

Wu Kang stopped hesitating, pushed the door and stepped into the threshold, raised his eyes and looked over. The old woman had white hair, old man spots on her face, white eyebrows on her cheeks, and her dead fish eyes were dull. She was skinny and her hands were dry and yellow. She was the famous doctor Sun Po.

After finding the main owner, I bowed and sat upright in front of the wooden couch. I took out a golden leaf and put it on the low table and said: Pay your dog; then count out ten pieces and pressed it on it and said: Thank you for your concealment during the day; then took all the golden leaves, put them in the middle of the low table, took off the belt dagger, and pressed them on the pile of golden leaves.

Grandma Sun was calm and pulled her dry and cracked lips, and her voice became hoarse: "As expected by the distinguished guest, it was indeed caused by serious injuries. Today, she chose to hide it. First, the doctor's parents' hearts, and second, to save her life."

He lowered his eyebrows and swept the dagger, looked up at Wu Kang, and said slowly: "The old saying is good. It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. A woman who can be treated prescriptions; a woman who cannot be treated will report the truth. But when facing a general, the old man must conceal it, and your murderous aura is too strong. The old man can assert that the truth was revealed at that time, and the head fell to the ground at this moment."

When Wu Kang heard this, he was prepared for it, but his heart was still as if he was cut off. Mei Niang was right. Xiao Qing Chuanglin was seriously injured, suffered from sequelae and lost her fertility. She couldn't help but feel sad, and regretted and blamed her, occupying her entire heart.

Li Chunfeng's criticism, my offspring is difficult and has come true. Xiaoqing cannot give birth, and I will never leave her, so I will never have any children. After a long time, I let go of my fists, try to keep my mind calm, stare at the dead fish's eyes and said, "Thank you for your honesty, is it possible to heal? I want to hear the truth."

After a brief silence, Sun Po shook his head dejectedly: "I suffered a fatal blow, my internal organs were damaged, and I was unable to conceive, so I could burn incense and worship Buddha. I dare not hide it. Even the Daluo Jinxian would be powerless."

Wu Kang was silent again, for two quarters of an hour, slowly picked up the dagger, put it next to the golden leaves, gently tapped the scabbard, and said coldly: "Tomorrow, go to Wenshui Wu's house and check my body. The examination results are as follows: The first expedition to the Western Regions, he was not convinced by the local waters and soil, which caused miasma to enter the body and lose fertility."

Sun Po suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief, and his dim fish eyes gradually became radiant: "The general admires Ling's wife's love. The general should know that if a woman cannot have children, her life will be bleak. If a man cannot have children, the consequences will be even worse, and the woman will be even more contempt."

He stared at Wu Kang and said with a firm word: "The general is in his prime and his career is smooth. He is less than 30 years old and has served as a third-rank high-ranking official twice. If he bears this name, he will be despised by his colleagues and excluded by all officials, which will definitely affect his career. Please think twice."

Wu Kang waved his hand to interrupt, pushing Dog Jin and Thank Jin to the opposite side of the low table. His fingers were piled with gold and daggers, and his words were indifferent and alienated: "This is my private matter, and it is not a matter of outsiders to worry about it. You just need to make a choice. The so-called respect for the elderly and love for the young is not my virtue, and my patience is very weak."

In less than half a minute, the dry hand reached out and took away the golden leaves. She laughed so uglier than crying, and said to herself: "The richer and more stingy, the older the older, the more afraid of death, I am ninety-three years old, and I want to live a few more years. In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, my husband and fellow villagers were killed in Wuyi Lane. He died young, and I want to live for him."

You always read it thoroughly, and in just a few short words, you will express the various aspects of life. The dagger was hung around your waist, you stood up to thank and say goodbye, closed the door of the study, left the Sun's house. You climbed over the wall of Changshoufang, followed Sun Po's advice, and took a detour to Wuyi Lane.

In places where there are many dead people, living people will be in awe, especially after nightfall, the guest dares not fight. In the wide alley, there is gloomy and quiet, and he can only listen to footsteps. Wu Kang doesn't care. As a slaughter of corpses and blood, how could he be afraid of ghosts?

I took the risk tonight to determine my wife's condition and decided to force Sun's wife to come to my house. It was thoughtful. Sun's wife was respectful and said that she could not have children, so I could not have children. She completely comforted her daughter-in-law, cut off her random thoughts, and ensure a stable life. At the same time, she would stop Mei Niang and stuff women into her home, so she would be better for Xiaoqing.

The most important thing is to take this opportunity to save your family and life. Because Changsun Wuji and Li Jiu hated the relatives and families of foreign families. The best proof is that they kill Changsun Wuji and demote the Wu brothers.

In less than three or five years, he would attack me, either demoting me from Beijing or killing me. He had hoped that Li Jiufeng would relapse and Mei Niang could take over the power and thus save her life. But after the end of the Western Expedition, after thinking hard, it was unlikely.

According to the historical trend, if the emperor and the empress fight for power, Mei Niang will be defeated. The prime ministers promoted by Li Jiu, such as Shangguan Yi, Yan Liben, and others, who valued the military general Wang Fangyi, were all thorns in her eyes. This means that Li Jiu was in power until his death.

If I can't have children, he will take it lightly and eliminate his strong vigilance. In the formation of aristocratic families, marriage is an important way, and relatives who cannot have children will never become a climate. Wu Kang even believes that Li Jiu will reuse it for this and will have unexpected gains.

Only by enduring Li Jiu to death will you be completely safe, and Mei Niang won’t harm me. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It was a bad thing, but it could make a big fuss. No matter good or bad things, it would extract surplus value and become more and more like a politician!

The only disadvantage is that men who will be discredited by others will be labeled as incompetent. Even if a thousand years later, a more enlightened future generation will be thrust into the backbone. But it doesn’t matter, I am used to doing things myself and don’t bother to care about others.

Being harmonious with your family, comparing your wealth, life and life is nothing wrong. When you go home, you will persuade Xiaoqing not to adopt her adopted son, and if you don’t agree, you will sleep. You will walk leisurely in Wuyi Lane. Suddenly, you will hear a slight step and flash into the wall. You will see a black shadow two feet away, and your tracks are extremely suspicious.

He sneaked and walked to the east courtyard gate and tapped it three times. Such a quiet alley seemed extremely harsh. In less than half a moment, the courtyard gate creaked open, and the black shadow looked around and quickly flashed into the courtyard. Wu Kang breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not discovered by him.

When the gate of the courtyard was closed, he became interested in the moment. He was definitely a woman who opened the door for the black shadow. He began to make up for the wild mandarin ducks. It seemed very interesting. The gossip fire became more and more prosperous, and in a good mood, he grinned and decided to eavesdrop on the corner of the wall.

Men have childish hearts regardless of age. A fifty-year-old father would kick a few times as long as there were stones on the road. Just now, the black shadow came in and did not hear the dog barking, so he would not reveal his whereabouts. So he came outside the yard, held his breath and jumped up, grabbed the wall firmly, and turned over and jumped into the yard.

Hidden by the window, listening to the ambiguous and charming puff, peeping to be satisfied. The battle in the room was fierce, the man was panting like a cow, and the woman shouted Sixun. Wu Kang couldn't help but laugh. No wonder the male voice was familiar, it turned out to be Yang Sixun.

He was appointed as the General of the Youtun Guard. This time Li Jiu visited Bingzhou, he was also a general. He was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. His father Yang Gongren was the prime minister of Emperor Gaozu and Taizong. After his death, he was buried with Zhaoling. His uncle Yang Shidao was the prime minister of Emperor Taizong and Princess Shang Guiyang; his grandfather, Wang Guan Yangxiong, was a great figure in the Sui Dynasty and the family of Yang Jian and his son.

He had a close relationship with Meiniang. Meiniang's mother, Yang, was the daughter of Yang Da, the former Sui Dynasty. Yang Da and Yang Xiong, a brother of the mother, Meiniang and Yang Sixun, can be said to be cousins. He was originally the general of the right-leading guard, but after Meiniang's favor, he promoted the general of the right-leaning guard.

The Yang family of Hongnong County, who had been married to Li Tang for many years, was a supporter of Li Tang. During the Xuanwu Gate coup, Li Er killed Li Yuanji and took his sister-in-law Yang as his concubine. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also born from the Yang family. If she was adopted as a concubine, she would get the support of the Yang family and she would have to make a profit without losing money.

Yang committed to killing his son and enemies, but in fact he was powerless. She was just a woman. Just like the African lion group, the victorious lions would kill the young lions. The lions were powerless, so they could only choose to reproduce with the new lions.

The room suddenly shouted loudly, and the waves were calm in an instant, and Wu Kang was dumbfounded. In less than five minutes, you are still a general, so it is embarrassing to see you. You are twenty times stronger. You were in a whim and you were about to get up and leave, but you heard Lao Yang say: My little heart, which is better, me or brother Baojie?

The woman laughed charmingly and praised in a coquettish voice, which was much better than Murong Pilfu. Wu Kang gritted his teeth and refused to let himself have a sound. This was a funny pair of funny guys. His interest was aroused again. Baojie was Murong Baojie, and he was appointed as the general of the Right Guard.

Brother Baojie is so unlucky. The concubine he raised in the outer room was cheating on Yang Sixun, and there was a grassland above his head. His nephew Murong Qing was killed in the downtown area while shopping with his dog legs this morning, and his dagger was stabbed to death.

The nephew of the General of the Right Guard was killed in broad daylight. When the emperor was lucky enough to Bingzhou, he was slapped in the face. Li Zhi completely ran away and immediately issued an edict: a special task force was set up immediately, and the detective Di Renjie was the leader. He must solve the case within ten days to restore the dignity of the boss.

Wu Kang was also implicated because the two had an argument on the street today. After checking their wife, they found out when they returned home that Di Renjie had been waiting for a long time. He was really shocked to learn that Murong Qing was killed and felt that he had been cheated.

After the routine question ended, Wu Kang immediately said that someone had framed the blame. We had a slight quarrel, and we would not have to kill people in trivial matters. Even if I wanted to kill him, I would not be attacked immediately. It was obvious that I would have given someone a handle. I just had an argument and sent someone to kill him. I was not so stupid.

Mei Niang and Xincheng testified. From morning until now, we are inseparable. Kang Lang has no time to commit the crime. As for sending people to commit the crime, it is even more nonsense. There is a queen and a princess in the team. The security work is greater than the sky, and the increase in personnel is not enough, so it is impossible to divide the troops and commit the crime.

The analysis was reasonable, and Di Renjie agreed deeply. He had no time to commit the crime and had no motive to commit the crime, so he ruled out the suspicion of Wu Kang. At the same time, the murderer was extremely professional, with a dagger sticking to the fifth rib and stabbing directly into the heart. It was closest to the heart, and the flesh was the weakest, which was quite neat and neat.

Mei Niang was furious and issued a death order, and she had to find the murderer. I want to see who is not open to her eyes, Kang Lang, who dared to frame me. She is not shocked, and as long as Wu Kang is involved, she will lose her mind. Di Renjie immediately patted his chest to ensure that the task was completed, and then led the task force to leave.

The war broke out again in the house, and Wu Kang was in a lack of interest, such as affair and cheating, which were common in the Dirty Tang Dynasty. I wanted to leave again, but suddenly I thought that Baojie and Yang Sixun had once pushed the Tang Dynasty to amend the rules. The current "The Law of Thieves and Thieves" was sentenced to hang when poisoning and killing people. It happened that this year, Li Jiu revised this rule and was sentenced to beheading.

Hanging is to hang, and a whole body can be left; beheading is to behead the head, and the whole body cannot be left, and the sentencing is even more serious. Later generations chatted with Li Lingyue, and she said that the revision of the "Legislative Law" was caused by them. The cause was a coup, a coup that was still in the womb.

Therefore, when we went to war last year, we passed the eunuch to remind Mei Niang to beware of these two people when we were lucky enough to Bingzhou. As for what coup and who was targeted, Xiao Lingyue did not explain it clearly. Wu Kang couldn't figure it out, and it was not recorded in history books, and it felt like it was false.

I was not in the mood to listen to the corner of the wall and began to think about who the coup was targeted. The house stopped again, and Wu Kang suddenly glared and beads of sweat fell. Whether it was Hongnong Yang family or the Murong family of Yan State, they were all typical Guanlong family members.

The Guanlong family supported Li Tang, and the coup would not be targeted by Li Jiu, but would definitely be targeted by Mei Niang. Taking advantage of Li Jiu's in Bingzhou, his guardian power was weak and he planned to launch a coup. Just like the Maweipo Incident, he forced Li Longji to kill Yang Guifei, forced Li Jiu to kill Mei Niang, and replaced the queen of Guanlong.

All of you deserve to die, Wu Kang smiled fiercely. It seems that preparation was not in vain. I, Wu Kang, will make you pay the price of bleeding. I was very confused and I was no longer in the mood to gossip. I quietly flashed out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how important the next conversation was. Yunyu stopped again, the man and woman rubbed their ears together, and the woman said softly: "Mr. The husband asked the slave to pass the message, and Murong Qing was killed in the downtown area, which gave the best excuse. The blame was on Wu Kang, and the excuse of clearing the king as an excuse is the most legitimate."

The man was silent for a long time, sat up perfunctorily, and sat on the head of the bed to ponder. The woman leaned over, snuggled into his arms, stroked his beard, and said in a coquettish voice: "My beloved, the arrow is on the string, and he has to fire it. The person above said that when things are done, he will agree to the benefits of the Yang family, and there will be no lack of any."

Yang Sixun refused to comment, and had been struggling for a long time, finally nodded. He looked up at the window, gradually narrowed his eyes, and suddenly thought of Wu Kang, and quickly frowned. He felt in his heart that every time he looked at me, he was alert and murderous intent, as if he had insight into the opportunity...

Wu Kang was invisible in the dark night, bypassed countless patrols, and returned home safely. He entered the yard through the back door, and before he could take five steps, five black shadows flashed out. The bright horizontal sword occupied an excellent position and surrounded him tightly. Less than ten seconds later, the black shadow flashed into the night and had already recognized the boss.

Until I entered the master bedroom, I was surrounded by nine teams one after another, one team more than the other. Fortunately, I made rules. If outsiders broke in, they should not be shot by crossbows and arrows, and they must be caught alive. If not, they would have become hedgehogs long ago, that would be too funny.

I changed into my pajamas and robe, looked empty and saw that the big bed was empty, and sneaked to the east. When I came to the small bed, my wife and daughter hugged each other and slept. I would like to thank my daughter tonight. It was she who pestered her daughter-in-law to have the chance to get out. I climbed up on my face and kissed the mother and daughter’s forehead.

Embarrassment followed, four small eyes opened, two screams of surprise, and two warm jades entered their arms. I really wanted to slap themselves, but my wife smiled and ran away like a flower, and she acted coquettishly in a coquettish voice: "Your husband is alone in the empty bed, it's a matter of Nu Nu. Don't go back, just sleep here."

He cheered in the middle of the nao, pulled it to the bed, Wu Kangsheng had no desire. Such a big daughter always pestered her father to sleep, which was really inappropriate. She lay helplessly in the middle, forced to hug her left and right, blinked and said helplessly: "This is the last time, I'm going to sleep obediently, I want to think about something."

The mother and daughter nodded obediently, each holding a hand and snuggling tighter. Wu Kang closed his eyes lightly and continued to think divergently. He quickly concluded that the relationship between the Yang family and the Wu family was very subtle. The Wenchuan Wu family is a small local surname, and it is inconsistent with the Yang family, Hongnong Yang family.

The warrior sold wood to get rich and helped Li Yuan raise an army in Taiyuan, so he was highly valued and appointed as Duke Yingguo. The original wife, Li Yuan, personally chose a marriage, and reunited the Yang family as his wife. Then the Wu family squeezed into the Li family, Wei family and Yang family, this marriage group.

When Mei Niang was eleven years old, the warrior suddenly died of illness, and the Wu family disrespected her mother and daughter. Yang was not the original wife, and there was no boy inheritance. Since the death of the warrior, the mother and daughter have depended on each other and experienced countless ups and downs. However, the Yang family, Mei Niang's uncle, almost ignored her and did not provide any protection.

Later, Mei Niang became powerful and forced to promote the Yang family due to her mother's request. However, the ice was frozen for three feet, and it would not last a day. Mei Niang and her uncle's family would not have any affection. The Wu brothers were retaliated and accidentally killed the chicken to warn the monkey. The Yang family was also trembling with fear.

Therefore, the interests of the Hongnong Yang family with Guanlong are greater than those of Mei Niang. The queen in their hearts is the daughter of the Yang family, not the niece. It is reasonable to participate in the coup, and the damn rolling eyes is a wolf.
