Chapter 49 Zheng Rentai is plagued by bad luck

In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the third day of the tenth lunar month in winter, at 3:00 noon.

In the eastern capital Luoyang Ziwei City, inside the southwest Lijingmen, the imperial office, the Censorate, is located in the list. Surrounded by square walls, there is a row of gloomy houses in the southwest of the Supervision History Institute, which is the Censorate Prison. The prison area on the left is where high-ranking prisoners are detained. Only those with official positions above the third rank can be qualified to move in, and is called the Dayu District.

The two gatekeepers, listening to the laughter in the prison area, their scalp was numb. General Wu was hysterical and laughed wildly for nearly half a quarter of an hour. Why was it so happy? At this moment, the inmates in the district were unable to bear the torture. Liu Shenli blocked his ears, Xue Rengui frowned, and Sun Renzhi rolled his eyes.

Two minutes later, Sun Ren couldn't stand it and roared in his throat: "My brother of change, please be quiet. If you continue to laugh like this, either you laugh madly or we are holding it madly. What does the expansion of Anxi Protectorate's Mansion have to do with you? As for being so excited?"

The crazy laughter came to an abrupt end, Shen Li let go of his hands and mocked him sarcastically: "The Western Turks' inner affiliation is Dingfang's credit. You are just a follower, don't put gold on your face. If you want to talk about national heroes, that's also Su Dingfang, and you are not used to it."

Wu Kang sneered, Xia Censors couldn't talk to you, so he was too lazy to pay attention to you. Just today, the Censor General Gongyu sent a lot of official documents, which were all major events in the court. Among them, the expansion of Anxi made him climax instantly, and he was so happy that he danced with joy.

In mid-June this year, the imperial court set up a throne-governor's Office in Tochar, Huoxun Kingdom, Persia and other 16 countries. There were 76 states, 110 counties, and 126 military offices, which were under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.

Tocharo has a vast territory, starting from the Pamir Plateau in the east, bordering the Persian state in the west, ending in the south of Uzbek in the north, and ending in the snowy mountains in Afghanistan in the south. The Huoxun Kingdom covers the Aral Sea, Kazakhstan, and looks north and south with Tocharo.

The Han Dynasty extended its territory to the Aral Sea and Iran, without any past. This was the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the glory of Wukang. It only had its territory today when it fought against the Turks twice. Three months ago, the rebellion against the north of the Mobei Province was still there. It reached the Yenisei River in the north, which included Lake Baikal and the entire Outer Mongolia Kingdom.

The eastern part of Baekje has just been destroyed and the southern part of Linyi is bordered by Linyi. At this moment, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is the most territorial in China. This is the largest territory of the Han people. Once they have conquered Goguryeo, their life will be perfect. Wu Kang secretly believes that if they can participate in it, it will not be in vain to travel through time; with the territory alone, Li Jiu can be called the great emperor.

The inmate mocked again, Rengui sighed: "My brother of change, don't be heartless. We are all in jail, don't worry about that leisure. Life in prison is too hard, and hard cooked cakes and vegetables are rotten, which can be said to be inhuman life. Save some attention and think carefully about how to escape from the crime?"

Master Ren also complained: "These imperial censors are all bastards and treat us harshly. The rice I gave yesterday produced three rice insects and two gravels, which almost hurt their teeth. My brother, please complain to the queen and ask my sister to help me."

Just as he was about to reply, he heard the cold words and mocking him, Liu Shenli said disdainfully: "Empress Wu doesn't love you, don't brag again in the future. For a whole month, he will neither come to visit the prison nor send delicious food. In my humble opinion, if the saint is really good, we will be in danger."

Wu Kang was also helpless. Li Jiu was so kind-hearted that he insisted on dealing with us. He did not allow his family to visit the prison, prohibited Mei Niang from visiting him, and only gave pig food for every meal. In fact, I was the one who implicated you. If I hadn't participated, with Li Jiu's style, you would not be imprisoned.

The fundamental purpose is to show sharp minions, warn the relatives of the Wu family to be content with me. Thinking of this, I sneered and said indifferently: "We are fighting on the battlefield, eating moldy wheat rice and drinking animal blood. The food here is very good. Next time I eat rice insects, I will add food to me, which is rich in protein."

The three of them shut up at the same time, and the atmosphere gradually became depressing. After a long time, Liu Shenli said, "I have never eaten what you said, and I probably have never eaten the two generals Sun and Xue. Let's not talk about this, the culprit Ren Tai has not yet trained at this moment, so something big is probably happening."

The lice on the bald man's head, Zheng Rentai, who killed thousands of swords, was definitely involved in a big deal, otherwise he would have come as a companion. Could it be that bad luck came, he encountered a huge blizzard on the Mongolian Plateau? If that were true, the picture was simply too beautiful, and Wu Kang dared not think deeply.

Rengui suddenly sighed and gritted his teeth and said, "I have a fellow villager who is also a censor. He once told me that the food in Taiwan prison is not bad. Especially in the big fish area, there are meat and fish in every meal, and we are targeted. The Censor and the Germans, who have offended you, why are you so harsh?"

The inmates fell into deep thought and shook their heads without saying a word, saying that they were not familiar with him. Wu Kang couldn't help but frowned. The Germans were sarcastic and seemed to be full of hostility when they were prosecuting the governor of Yuezhou, Yuezhou had never been involved in matters of all sizes, so why did they offend him?

At this time, the outer door opened, and Qianniu Guard rushed in and guarded the four prison doors. Five maids in the palace, holding tools in their hands, and quickly cleaned. The inmate was dumbfounded. Wu Kang recognized Baliang and immediately felt at ease. She was Mei Niang's confidant.

The palace servants dispelled the smoke and dust, and the chief master came quietly. Two censors followed respectfully. Wu Kang slowly stood up and looked at his familiar face, feeling full of style. The baby fat was more obvious, and his demeanor was elegant and luxurious. His every move was unquestionable.

The sister and brother stared at each other affectionately, Mei Niang rolled her eyes, pouted naughtyly, and gloated with gloating. Wu Kang sneered, "Women of thirty-seven, don't pretend to be young anymore. You should pay attention to the influence. If someone discovers it, it will damage the image of the queen.

Wu Mei waved her hand, and the eunuch Li Deguan issued a duke voice: "The Censor Yang Gong impeached General Zheng. He killed the surrendered, and made the enemy flee, and did not care about the soldiers, and did not count the resources. He blocked the bones and abandoned the equipment to provide the enemy. This was the greatest defeat since the founding of the Holy Dynasty."

Everyone was stunned. The greatest defeat in the founding country was, how much defeat was? Mei Niang coughed lightly and added lightly: "Wan Si cavalry, traveled lightly and chased to Xian'e River, but there was no Tiele. On the way back, they encountered a blizzard and the guards suffered heavy casualties."

The atmosphere was instantly depressed, and Xue Rengui's three inmates focused on their eyes at the same time. Wu Kang laughed bitterly, the so-called Xian'e River, also known as Xian'e River, the Selenge River in later generations. The northernmost part of Mongolia entered Russia and was injected into Lake Baikal.

A blizzard is a snow storm. The snow is swept up by strong winds and runs with the strong wind. People are in it, like blind people who open their eyes, not knowing whether it has snowfall. When snow encounters obstacles, it will accumulate in large quantities, forming a real snow disaster. The world is white and there is no food and grass. How should people and horses live?

The more I thought about it, the more blocked my throat, the blue veins on my forehead collapsed, and the sounds squeezed out between my teeth: "I told him that the weather in Mobei is bad and I can't march in autumn. But he just refused to listen, believed in the rumors of scouts, and was eager to make contributions, resulting in heavy casualties. Is he a fool?"

Later generations of people cursed in dialects, and everyone didn't understand why, but they knew it was not good things. Rengui sighed, Renshi sighed, and his face was full of contempt. Zheng Rentai should scold him. Wu Mei glared at Wu Kang, paid attention to my words, and then added with a gentle voice: "The army lacked food, and the troops died of starvation. 14,000 cavalrymen, and only 800 people came back."

The meaning is self-evident, and the inmates are in a heavy mood. The horses are starved to death, and everyone is frozen to death. The picture is tragic. There are only 800 cavalrymen who have returned, but they are still losing their troops in non-war situations. The snow melts in the coming year, and more than 10,000 magic weapons and weapons all fall into the enemy's hands. The bones block the wilderness and abandon the armor and the enemy is worthy of their reputation.

The biggest defeat in the founding country was without exaggeration. Zheng Rentai was a pig. Why didn’t he freeze to death? Why didn’t he come yet? The more he thought about it, he became more angry, and he wanted to curse people. He was treated with Mei Niang’s eyes and closed his mouth awkwardly.

Li Chunfeng's prophecy came true. For Zheng Rentai, this was a great misfortune. Almost all the troops were wiped out and almost buried in the snow nest. Although they survived from death, the court still had to pursue it. Suddenly, they thought of something and looked up at the inmate, with gratitude.

If it weren't for you, Rentai would have been suppressing people with power, I would have followed the Northern Expedition. Facing the ice and snow, I had no choice but to do anything. In front of nature, people and nature are like ants. If I were in the scene and food was extremely scarce, I would not guarantee that I would be on the surviving list.

The inmate knew it well, accepted gratitude calmly and gave him a comforting look. Wu Kang wiped his cold sweat. After he was released from prison, he would definitely bring great gifts and visit them separately. Especially Li Chunfeng, he followed the gifts and was at peace with the situation. If he didn't give any advice, I would still be in the dark.

Mei Niang took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat of Wu Kang. Li Deguan continued: "The Censor Yang Gong impeached General Xue, General Xue of Lushan Road, General Sun of Precipitation, Li Ledao Liu Dugu, and General Shi Wu of the marching chief. He was imprisoned in the prison and was greedy and self-indulgent. Although he was proud of his gains, he did not make up for his destruction. Please submit it to the judicial department to the court for the promotion."

The general meaning is: these four garbage were robbed and killed 100,000 prisoners of war. They accepted bribes along the way, captured Tiel's women, and enriched their own harem. The seized spoils cannot make up for the losses. They were sent to the military court, and the three departments were held for trial, and they were convicted according to the military law.

All the things said were true. Wu Kang was ashamed and did not dare to look up. Mei Niang snorted coldly and said lightly: "The sage is nostalgic and issued an edict specially. Wu Xue, Sun and Liu and other generals have all their merits and demerits. How to deal with Rentai? Officials above the fourth rank will discuss together in the court meeting every ten days."

Yuan Gongyu ordered the prisoners to act and open all the prison doors. Wu Kang breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the matter was left unresolved. In the eyes of the court, it was not a serious crime. It is estimated that the so-called humanitarianism is nothing in the eyes.

I remembered Zheng Rentai again and gritted my teeth again. Mobei returned in a defeat and came back for at least five days. The impeachment of the Censorate was not taken to the yamen. It is estimated that Li Jiu was reluctant to leave. After all, Zheng Lao failed and participated in the Xuanwu Gate coup, and was a supporter of Li Er.

I guess I have thrown the blame on the climate again. God is about to fall in a blizzard, but manpower cannot control it. At this moment, my heart is like a cat's claw. I have seen blizzard scenes in movies and TV dramas in my previous life. Especially on the grassland, the area of ​​snow disasters is wider, and there is no food, and war horses will definitely be eaten.

The brain turns quickly to calculate the food consumption. After the war horses are eaten, they can only marches. A few hundred miles away, the horse meat is definitely not enough, and they still have to starve. Without food supplements, soldiers will starve to death. According to normal circumstances, the entire army will be wiped out. How can the 800 survivors survive?

Suddenly, he widened his eyes and thought of the scene. He immediately covered his abdomen and retching. Mei Niang frowned and even covered his mouth and vomited when she saw him. The cell was in chaos in an instant, and all the palace servants were surrounded. Wu Kang didn't think too much, so he immediately stepped forward to support him, patted his right hand on the back, and signaled the palace servants to disperse.

The vomiting continued. Baliang took out the hawthorn and handed it to Wu Kang. He carefully fed it. After the two hawthorns were eaten, Mei Niang slowly stood up. He rubbed her lower abdomen with both hands, swallowed her saliva continuously, suppressed her desire to vomit, and her brows frowned in a straight line.

It feels very abnormal, it looks like a woman with morning sickness, is there a ball in her stomach? I searched my mind and laughed quickly, and slapped my chest with confidence: "I also want to congratulate my sister on having another baby. I am 100% sure that I will definitely be a prince, who will be born in June next year."

The cell was silent, and Baliang immediately congratulated, and all the palace ladies agreed. Mei Niang hesitated slightly, revealing her warm motherhood. She gently stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand and gave her a gift to her brother. "I hope she is a prince, and she will be born in summer and will not be infected with the cold. Look at your words, can you predict the future?"

Absolutely, the child will be named Li Xulun, who is Ruizong Li Dan. His son Emperor Xuanzong of Tang will kill your daughter in the future. Wu Kang is full of confidence and suddenly thought of something, so he quickly ordered Baliang: "Take the queen away quickly, the environment here is too bad."

Mei Niang waved her hand to stop her, Gongyu brought a chair, and Wu Kang helped her sit down. Three prisoners who cheated her father came side by side to greet her, and they all felt grateful for her words. They also understood that the main crime was not decided, and the queen would release her accomplice first.

Mei Niang signaled to dismiss the ceremony and actually told the war report: "On August Jiaxu, the general manager of Pyongyang Road, Su Dingfang was in Wujiang, defeating the Goguryeo bandit army. He won consecutive battles and troops arrived at the city of Pyongyang, waiting for the Northern Line to meet together to attack Pyongyang."

Everyone listened attentively, Wu Kang was excited, and the teacher was really strong. I really wanted to have both wings and participate in the strong attack on Pyongyang. The Wu River is the Datong River, which crosses Pyongyang, and is a symbol of North Korea. I remember that in my previous life, I traveled with Lingyue, sailed on the Datong River, and remembered Kim Dapang.

Soon he fell into deep thought, worry replaced excitement. Pyongyang City was strong and strong, and it was the capital of Goguryeo. Dingfang attacked by water, and the navy crossed the Yellow Sea, and there would not be too many troops. He had to wait for the northern line and the two armies met before he had the strength to attack the city.

Mei Niang continued: "The progress of the northern line is slow. The powerful minister Yuan Gaisuwen sent his son Quan boy to lead tens of thousands of elite troops to defend the Yalu Waterfront. The guards were unable to cross the water. The stalemate was in the end of September and the weather began to be severely cold. The Yalu Water formed ice, and the general manager Qieli led his army to cross the ice and contacted the bandits with close forces."

Speaking of this, he stopped talking, his eyes were locked in Kang Lang, his eyes were naughty. The inmate looked weird, and he looked straight, and he held up his ears to listen. Wu Kang's heart was like a cat's claw. Sister, you are too much. This is a military and national event. Don't tell the story. What is the situation of the battle? Don't swear people's appetite.

After more than two minutes, Zhu Li finally started lightly: "Goguryeo was defeated, our army pursued dozens of miles and beheaded more than 30,000. The rest of the troops surrendered, and the Quan boy was only exempted from his own life. Qi Bi took advantage of the victory and pursued the army, and the army won consecutive battles and surrounded Pyongyang with Dingfang."

Wu Kang roared Ouye, his fists as big as a sandbag, and his wind was dancing. His face was quickly congested, and his facial features began to twist. The inmates were no less, and their faces were flushed. If the queen was not here, he would definitely raise his head and laugh wildly. After decades, he finally got what he wished. Goguryeo would go to hell.

However, at this moment, a large basin of cold water poured down, and Mei Niang's pretty face turned ice: "It's a pity that half a month ago, Tiele rebelled again, and tens of thousands of barbarians went south to harass the Hexi Corridor. After discussion, the center ordered the Qibian army to be called on the army of Tiele to be pacified. The Hongluo Minister Xiao Siye and the General Manager of Xian'e to jointly appease Tiele."

Wu Kang was struck by lightning and his whole body was petrified. Tiele really rebelled again, and the court also changed its policies, adopted the Huairou strategy, and sent Chie Heli to appease him. He was born in the Chiei clan and was the most suitable candidate. He surrounded Pyongyang and declared his death in the womb.

The chain reaction occurred, Goguryeo escaped, and Zheng Rentai deserved to die. Rengui was dumbfounded, and the verbal ritual was unbelievable, and Renzhi was full of admiration. In the past, killing prisoners of war, Wu Kang's all speculations came true at this moment. Could it be that the martial arts transformation can really predict the future, and it can be considered to be completely omitted?

However, in less than five seconds, their facial expressions were replaced by fear. What they said on the day of change would be what would happen if they spread to the court? Fortunately, the court did not know that Tiele rebelled again. The fundamental reason was that the Tianshan pit prisoners were captured.

I hope that the remarks will never be spread. After a long period of silence, Liu Shenli spoke first: "My woman is already out of the box, but she has two nieces, who are still in her infancy. If she changes, she will come to visit her door and you and I will become in-laws."

Master Sun Ren stopped and said seriously: "On the journey on the past, I decided to change. If the wife of Chu was happy, whether it was a man or a woman, she would marry the Sun family. If you come first and then arrive, don't interfere."

Shen Li responded immediately, Rengui also wanted to interrupt, but suddenly he heard a cold snorkeling and the argument stopped immediately. Mei Niang looked up slightly, her eyes flashed with anger, and she ordered: "You are imprisoned, your family is anxious. You can escape safely at this moment, and you can go home to reunite."

The three of them dared not say much, saluted respectfully and left the prison area quickly. Wu Kang laughed strangely, "My inability to give birth is the queen's heart." Three hooligans and rogues, not our relationship, Mei Niang will give you little shoes."

Leaving the Censorate, Wu Kang helped her and strolled in Ziwei City. After a while, Mei Niang sighed: "No child is not a family. Every time I think of Kang Lang, my heart is like a knife. When the end of the year, I will summon the elders of Bingzhou tribes and adopt Minzhi to you."

You can pull it, he can piss me to death, but he is not as good as Wu Chengsi. Thinking of this, he laughed and said with a pity: "Brother Yuanqing is gone, and the sister-in-law and Chengsi are left to depend on each other in Longzhou. Take them here, I raise Chengsi to adulthood, but it doesn't matter if I pass."

Mei Niang stopped and looked at Wu Kang quietly. After a long time, she sighed helplessly: "I know how good you are to me. If you can take Wu Chengsi back, my sister will not be able to do it, and it will make my mother sad. If you secretly help me, my mother already knows it and she has a lot of complaints about you."

Wu Kang laughed dryly, Mrs. Rong Guo’s wife Yang was like a snake and a scorpion. The two continued to walk, and Mei Niang expressed her thoughts: “In my sister’s heart, Kang Lang and her mother are the most important. My mother is an elder and has suffered a lot. Kang Lang promised me not to be alienated from her.”

There is no question of alienation, filial piety is impossible, just live by. Mei Niang sighed again and said softly: "You don't like Minzhi, I don't force me, and my mother doesn't agree. Zheng Rentai wants to see you, don't give him a good face. I will let him know that Kang Lang, who is calculating me, will have to pay the price..."
