In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the eighth day of the tenth lunar month in winter, at the eighth hour of Si.

In the second floor private room in Yanbin Building, Luoyang, there were a few people with different expressions. Yang Jiong's left face was raised, his donkey blushed like Guan Gong, and his expression was filled with righteous indignation. The Confucian robe was covered with vegetables, his head was not covered with heads, only a ponytail towel, and a bun with meatballs. It was covered with vegetable leaves, and he looked in a mess and was beaten up very much.

I searched for information in my mind and smiled quickly. This kid is very interesting. Similar to Luo Binwang, he was smart and knowledgeable at a young age and read Chinese books at the age of eight. He was awarded the title of disciple and was named a child prodigy last year. At the age of twelve, he was given the treatment of his birth in Hongwenguan.

The so-called waiting system is to wait for dispatch and barely be considered a dismissal. Li Jiu first ascended the Dabao and ordered the students of Hongwenguan to wait for arrangements at the west gate of Wude Hall. He was young and had good academic performance and was waiting for the Hongwenguan. With the salary of the court, he reached the peak of his child's life and was definitely someone else's child.

In fact, among the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wu Kang liked Yang Jiong the most, and his poems were very pleasing to his appetite. The popular poetry style at present is the style of the Qi and Liang Palace style, represented by Guanyi. His poems are graceful and graceful, attach importance to formal skills, and pursue beautiful voices and words, and are called Shangguan style.

Wu Kang was not interested, thinking that this subject lacked generosity and passion, and the spirit of heroism was lacking. Reading it was like chewing wax. Yang Jiong was not caught in a cold, so his poems were searching for other ways and created the style of frontier poetry. Especially when he was in the army, he would rather be a centurion than a scholar.

Just like Hong Zhong Dalu, I awaken the scholars of the Tang Dynasty and take the rise and fall of the world as their responsibility, and don’t complain without any illness. The young version in front of me is in a mess and funny way. Wu Kang half-joking: "I wrote it at night, which is so good, I feel ashamed of myself. But my little brother, I haven’t even grown up all the hair. Isn’t it too early to learn to visit prostitutes?"

This sentence made the hornet's nest, and the private room suddenly became silent. Pei spitted and turned around, calling the old man unreasonable. He was a little embarrassed when he was frugal. This statement was too vulgar, and Yang Jiong was even more angry. He quickly stepped out of the line, and after seeing the Li Li, he defended: "The general of the military misunderstanding, the husband bid farewell to his friend. I had no intention of hearing the poem and essays, so I took the initiative to serve him."

Wu Kang laughed silently. Beauties in this life love talents, and beauties in later life love money, and they have a world of difference in taste. However, the words just now were indeed vulgar and I apologized decisively: "I read a little, and I have been on the battlefield all year round. I have come into contact with rough men and speak vulgar. I will be more polite."

Xing Jian said it was okay, and Yang Jiong's face improved. He was a third-rank general and a royal relative. It was indeed rare to put down his posture and apologize. After this self-criticism, Narcissus was very unhappy and defended his beloved man: "Kang Lang is not vulgar, and he also has several poems. Please comment on Yang Waijian."

He recited the yellow sand and wore golden armor, then the heavy snow covered the bow and knife, and stabbed the hornet's nest again. After a short period of silence, Xing Jian sincerely praised Yang Jiong's face relaxed. Even Mrs. Pei was less disgusted. Wu Kang felt embarrassed. The troublesome little girl was not written by me. What's there to show off?

Qian Shun called the brothel to clean up the mess in the room and prepare the wine and food again. Wu Kang picked up clay dolls from the fish soup, which was beyond recognition. Damn Xu Natural, you are committing a crime, you are committing your own death, and Na Weng will fulfill you.

The mud doll was thrown into the soup bowl and looked at Deng Juju. Wen Yan ordered the brothel: "Prepare clean clothes and change them to Yang Waijian. Ling Minghe, wrap ice cubes in silk cloth, and cold compress on his cheeks. At this time tomorrow, use cooked eggs to compress it. This is the native method of home, to relieve bruises and pain."

The madam was ready as she said, and the two thanked each other again. Wu Kang looked at Xingjian and expressed his sincere apology: "We met for the first time and someone was defeated by Yaxing. I felt guilty. It was because I was not well received and I punished myself for three glasses of water and wine. Please forgive me for my senior brother."

It’s okay to be frugal and go all the way. The two brothers drank three cups in total, and they made sure their eyes were made, showing strange smiles. When the private room was packed, Yang Jiong and Jue went upstairs and had already changed into new clothes. Qian Shun guarded outside the door, and the men and women sat in the seats. Yang Jiong was at the last place, looking flattered.

Wu Kang was responsible for the introduction. The three of them greeted each other for a while, and the water and wine brought the relationship closer. After three rounds of wine, Yang Jiong couldn't help but ask carefully: "As a general, there is no need to be afraid of the prime minister. Xu Er talked badly to each other, why should you be tolerant of it step by step? You should have some friendship with the wife of Juju, why don't you save him when you die?"

With naked accusations, Xing Jian shook his head slightly. The boy in front of him was too enthusiastic. Wu Kang didn't care, and said seriously: "A person has a rebellious mentality. I protect him. He became more and more aggressive. I don't care. He was lacking in interest. I can help her for a while, but I can't help her for a lifetime."

He stared at Yang Jiong and said lightly: "Are you thinking about what you see and hear today? I would like to report it to the Censorate? I would like to advise you not to do this. If the Censorate accepts it, the saints will at most reprimand and will not dismiss the throne of the throne because of this matter. They are unscathed, but you offend the prime minister and your career will end here."

Yang Jiong was very dissatisfied and passionate. Wu Kang laughed and said, "I endure the calm and calm for a while, take a step back and the vast sky. Han Xin endures the humiliation under his crotch to achieve success in the future. As for my concessions, I just show my weakness to encourage his arrogance and tell you a story."

When he was the governor of Wuzhou, he once went up the mountain to hunt and was attacked by a bobcat. Xiaoqing was injured. Wu Kang chased him outside the cave, hid in the bushes, and waited for three days and three nights. It was the cold winter season, and he ate dry food when he was hungry, drank water when he was thirsty, and took a nap when he was sleepy. When the bobcat came out of the cave, he quietly pulled the bowstring and hunted him with one arrow.

After telling the story, a brief summary: "If you don't die when you hit a snake, you will suffer. If you are not sure, I will not take action. Today, I will not teach a dandy lesson, but there is no benefit, and it will only attract strong enemies. If someone comes to step on me, I will not slap him in the face or make a verbal dispute, but it will only kill him."

The so-called "pretending to be slapping" in the face is not beneficial except for attracting hostility. What I want to deal with is Prime Minister Xu, so Xu naturally is not enough to watch. The scene was silent, everyone's expressions were different, and they were frugal and laughed without saying anything. Yang Jiong frowned and thoughtful.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded, Qian Shun came in to report, Chen Shi San was here. Time flies so fast, Wu Kang stood up to apologize: "Today I meet with my senior brother, I have to meet Ren Tai. I was too late, but I was delayed by miscellaneous matters. I am really ashamed."

Xingjian stood up and returned the favor, and said with a kind look: "Young brother, don't do this. We are brothers and we will have a long life in the future. Since there is an appointment, I will not stay for a long time. If I have time in the future, I will go to my house to be a guest. My family Dalang Zhenyin is very much missing my brother."

Wu Kang immediately promised that he would definitely visit him if he took time out of the day. The two brothers bid farewell, and Pei suddenly made a fuss: "Uncle wants to see outsiders, but the daffodils cannot be left behind. The guard outside also needs to leave a guard. I want to pay homage to my wife, so my grandfather will send me over and send daffodils along the way."

If there is a situation in the ghost girl, you will think about me and you will definitely hold up bad water. Xing Jian agreed happily, bid farewell to Wu Kang and left with everyone. Pei walked to the door, turned his head and rolled his eyes, raised his small fist, which was full of threat.

This girl movie is quirky and very troublesome. I suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but be stunned. Later generations heard from Ling Yue that a daughter of Xingjian married Su Weitan, Zhaozhou. This Su Weitan was Su Xun's ninth generation ancestor.

Is Madam Pei in front of me the 10th generation grandmother? That's too funny. I was too lazy to pay attention to her, so I sent Yang Jiong out and ordered Qian Shun to prepare a banquet. The madam came over and replied carefully: "The general of the good teacher knows that half an hour ago, Mr. Zheng had arrived and was waiting in the attic."

Rentai has arrived, because he has a request and has a very low attitude. In fact, there is no need. As long as Li Jiu covers up, he will have no worries about his life. The edict releases the accomplice, which is a political signal. The meaning is self-evident, so you have to take it lightly.

However, it was not that easy for him to pass the test, and he would definitely be demoted. He followed the madam upstairs and ordered Qian Shun to guard the gate. He soon saw the master. He couldn't help but sigh. He was so energetic that he had marched in Mobei in the past. At this moment, his eyes were deep, with countless white hairs, and he was haggard.

Rentai greeted him with a smile, and his attitude was extremely kind. He held Wu Kang's wrist and filled the wine glasses himself. After a few glasses of water and wine, the two of them didn't get into the topic and they were talking nonsense. Fun things in Luoyang City, joyful news in the romance and moonlight, and the Zhang family and Li family's shortcomings.

From the march in Yanran Mountain to the Xuanwu Gate coup, he was remembering the past. After saying these nonsense, Rentai got back to the point: "Our army was in Yalu River and killed 30,000 bandits. Jun Chuo was the ambassador of the ruler and managed all the places of Goguryeo. When Qieban returned to the court, Jun Chuo made great contributions and was appointed as the general of the left leadership."

It is about Du Junchuo, who was also a vanguard in the past Xuanwu Gate coup. He was appointed as the general of the left leader. The ambassador of Liaodong Road and the general leader of the Northern Road Army. Qi Bi Heli won the battle and was promoted to the general. It is really ironic.

Rentai continued: "Yesterday, the family was held. Jun Chuo and Brother Huibin, who all praised him when they mentioned the change of nephew. They can both charge forward and plan, and their future is limitless. However, Brother Huibin, I have some opinions about you. Both families have relatives, so you should go more."

Wu Kang smiled but said nothing. I'll leave, your grandson, so I'm going to suppress others with power. Hunting Bin is Li Mengchang, the vanguard of Xuanwu Gate, and the general of the right sect. His wife Cui is Xiaoqing's aunt. Every time during the holidays, I always visit and turn away.

The three of you were stumbled, one of your nostrils breathed. It roughly means that if your nephew helps, we will be friends. Let us share some suggestions, you will have a bright future, otherwise you will have a difficult step. Last time you marched in Mobei, the chief executive might have been disturbed by Li Mengchang and became the chief of the march.

But there is no way. They are too old and are at the level of generals. They are deeply trusted by Li Jiu and their energy is too great. Even Wu Meiniang cannot be taken lightly. Wu Kang looked kind and said seriously: "Mr. Zheng Gong is right. If his relatives don't move around, they will be alienated."

Rentai didn't comment, so he opened the bag at his waist and took out a few documents. He let it go, and smiled: "I know that the wife is the one who I like to change, and I am also a beautiful woman. This is Yan Bin's land deed. As long as the nephew helps, the land deed will be yours."

This hand is beautiful, and can be used to bribe and also to shake hot potatoes. He already knew what happened just now, so he chose to stay out of trouble and throw me away the trouble and let me face the teacher with a very bad conscience.

At this point, we must make a clear statement. Wu Kang said lightly: "Mr. Zheng found the wrong person. I am General Qianniu and have no political affairs. No matter the elders, Jingzong or the favorite minister, I will not listen to me. I really can't persuade them not to impeach them."

Rentai flashed with contempt, naturally you can't do it. I was looking for the queen. I tapped the wooden couch with my fingers and opened the right path: "Xu Jingzong Li Yi's mansion is the queen's supporter. My nephew met the queen and asked her to help her. No matter what the result is, the letter of the covenant will belong to you."

Mei Niang's move this time was not to deal with In Tai, because Li Jiu protected her, and she had no choice. The fundamental purpose of impeachment was to obtain the support of veterans from In Tai. If the old foxes suppressed them less, Wu Kang's military career would be much smoother.

The purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to grasp it. Wu Kang pretended to be entangled and said after a long time, "I can find the queen, but I can't make a promise. I believe Mr. Zheng knew that she was very independent. Although she loved me very much, she did not obey her plans."

Rentai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the four prime ministers stopped, letting the prime minister be in Liaodong, and the rest were not afraid. Tomorrow's grand ceremony was just a formality, and I could pass the testimonials easily. My smile became more and more kind, and I stood up and gave the letter of the contract in my hand.

Wu Kang took over slowly, picked him up and looked up at him, his smile warmly and falsely. Suddenly, his smile was stiff, and there was a thin red rope hanging in Rentai's collar. On the left side of the red rope, there was a black oil stain, less than half an inch in length.

It was after the Tianshan Battle. When I was taking a bath in the camp, I overturned the sesame oil tank and was soaked in the amulet. I suddenly stood up, grabbed Rentai's collar, and pressed it against the wall. I pinched the red rope, pulled it out quickly, and stayed there for an instant.

After taking a shower that day, I walked through a camp and heard the erotic songs. I went in and joined in the fun, got to know Zheng Huochang, ate his elm-seed buns, and gave him a talisman. I temporarily withdrew my thoughts, stared at my pale face, and squeezed out a voice between my teeth: "Where did you get this amulet?"

Rentai looked at the talisman and couldn't help but sweat as he clenched his lips. Wu Kang laughed bitterly, his words like ice skates: "This amulet was asked by the queen to give it to me, and she had signed it by herself. I was in the military camp and gave it to Zheng Huochang, and I would go to war with you later."

Wu Kang's eyes were shattered, and his voice began to tremble: "After the three meetings, I will go to Zheng Huochang. Liu Shenli told me that he will follow you to chase the enemy. He is one of them. If you encounter a snowstorm, he is not a survivor. Now tell me, how did he die?"

Zheng Rentai wanted to argue, looking at the fierce murderous aura, he couldn't speak in his throat. Wu Kang sneered and said lightly: "You don't want to say it, I'll tell you for you. Mongolia's snowstorm is covered with snow, and there is no food. You can travel lightly and you are struggling with dry food, and you will finish it soon."

Outlined the scene at that time, she smiled and said, "In order to survive, kill war horses and eat meat. Ten thousand war horses and ten thousand cavalrymen, if you can hold on for a long time, the horse meat will be exhausted. In that case, only the meat of the robes can be filled."

Rentai's body was limp, Wu Kang raised up and pressed against the wall. He stared at his wet face and described it slowly: "The guards killed each other, and the strong killed the weak. Use his robes to keep warm, and use his flesh and blood to fill his stomach. Thousands of miles of snow sealed people and marches, and kept eating people."

Wu Kang closed his eyes, was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and grabbed his neck: "Until one day, you and your personal guards ate Zheng Huochang and found the amulet. The talisman the queen asked for should have effect, so you put it on your body. It also did have effect. You walked out of the snow field, sat in Yan Bin Building, and drank and chatted with me."

Looking down at him, his smile became colder: "There are almost all the troops wiped out, not killing the battlefield. Your stubbornness and your greed for success, they have no corpses, and they have become lonely ghosts. What kind of face do you have to stand between heaven and earth?"

He let go of his collar and let him collapse to the ground. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and placed it at his hand. His voice was extremely evil: "The person you ate has turned into a life-seeking ghost, pestering you day and night. They will say this, I died so miserable, you will give me my flesh..."

In-tae suddenly screamed, his eyes widened, and he pulled his hair like a madman. The aura of fear lingers, and he moans intermittently, as if life is worse than death. Wu Kang looked quietly, waited until he stopped self-harm, and squatted down and bewitched: "If I were you, I would definitely have no face to live. Just stop it and you will not suffer any more."

In less than two minutes, his hand, which was shaking like a sieve, slowly grasped the hilt of the knife, and the blade turned into a rattle. Wu Kang laughed strangely and continued to add fuel to the fire: "If the saints of the court, all the civil and military officials in the court knew what would happen if you ate human flesh? You would lose your official position and dismiss him, then betray your relatives and be drowned by spit."

Rentai's body was stiff, and suddenly raised his head. The dagger was raised in front of his face, and it still trembled violently. Wu Kang looked at the tip of the knife, pointed his right hand at the heart, and said sarcastically: "I want to kill someone to silence me, I'll give you a chance. Hold the dagger tightly and use all my strength to stab it here. No one knows your little secret anymore, so why are you hesitating?"

I don’t know how long it took, but the dagger fell to the ground, Rentai burst into tears. He hugged Wu Kang’s thigh and begged: “A nephew of the change, please let me go. I am over 60 years old and don’t want to be ruined. Please give up your hands. As long as you keep the secret, you will listen to you in everything, please let me go..."

Lao Pujie is quite sensible, and he is waiting for this sentence, just serve you well. Wu Kang comforted him gently, waited for his emotional stability, and pretended to support him: "Uncle, what are you doing? How can you kneel down to me? God will make your life short? What's this? Uncle, get up quickly, let's talk about it if you have something to do."

He held him onto the chair, started to serve tea and pour water, and kept enlightening him. After two cups of hot tea, Rentai gasped, his eyes turned red and his eyes turned into rabbit eyes, and he said in a weak voice: "Don't worry, if you go on a war in the future, I will do my best to recommend you as the chief manager."

Wu Kang stretched out his right hand, gave him gentleness and righteousness, and said righteously: "God wants snow, no one can do anything about it. The Censorate is holding on. The Censor Yang Deyi is obviously not kind. Uncle, don't worry, my queen and brother will not add to the insult. Jingzong and Yifu will also shut up."

The negotiations ended successfully, Wu Kang was quite satisfied and kept urging him to drink. Until In-tai got drunk, he carried him to the bed and gently covered him with a brocade quilt. He simply cleaned up the house, took the tiger-head cloak, and left with a humming little song.

Today's gains are too great. Rentai represents the military. He can turn to Mei Niang, and he will definitely dream of it. Wen has two prime ministers, Wu has an old general, and no one can shake her status as a queen. Whoever has the desire to covet her will be dig her heart.
