In the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), the 20th day of the summer month, the 3rd hour of the year.

In the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City, there is the Dongtai Office Courtyard inside the Yanming Gate of Tai Chi Hall. In the north, Li Jiu sat in a straight face, his face was as deep as water, and his eyes were locked in the documents. If he observed carefully, his breathing was a little rapid and his aura was filled with anger.

On the left front of the desk, Wu Kang is as tall as a pine, his eyes are as clear as a nose and a heart. He is wearing bright light armor, with a Qianniu Royal Knife on his back, and a ring-headed horizontal knife on his waist. He holds the hilt of the knife in his left hand and the Yanyue Knife in his right hand, which looks like Guan Yu's Qinglong Knife in film and television dramas.

Report to Li Jiu for approval, Liu Shenli opened a small stove and was the lieutenant colonel's office to create twelve swords. The one in Wu Kang's hand weighed about twelve and a half pounds. He was not as good as Guan Yu, and he really couldn't control the 80-pound Qinglong sword. If he didn't cut off a few enemy soldiers on the battlefield, he would be exhausted to death first.

This knife looks majestic, and the guards use it to stand guard to show the majesty of the royal family. Li Jiu likes it very much, first creating five hundred pieces, three hundred as ritual vessels, and equip the left and right guards for Chen. The remaining two hundred pieces are given to Wukang, equipped with Wuying personal guards, and test the actual combat effectiveness.

In Wu Kang's view, these Yanyue swords, used to replace Mo swords, can only be used as surprise soldiers. The two armies are close to each other, and the Guandao team will slash together to quickly open the situation. If the battle situation is unfavorable, the Guandao team will attack and turn the situation around as soon as possible.

When the troops gain the upper hand, they will jump to the enemy and jump to meet the enemy. After all, twelve kilograms of weapons exceed the range of arm strength, even the elite troops in the army cannot continue to fight. Wu Kang has conducted experiments and relied on his strong body to chop hundreds of times at most, and was so tired that he was panting.

On the east side of the Zhengshi Hall, Xu Jingzong sat upright, now he was the right prime minister, which was equivalent to the Secretariat Ling. He closed his eyes and rested, leisurely stroked his beard, and the old god was there. Opposite him, Li Yi Mansion, was also content with his official position. He was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and was the Minister of Personnel. He was the third rank of the East and West Taiwan, and was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

There was a man standing in the middle, wearing a purple official robe and a square face with clear edges. He was Master Xu, and in late May this year, he was appointed as the Left Prime Minister. The so-called Left Prime Minister is the chief of Dongtai, and is equivalent to the Minister of the Secretariat.

Xu Natural's case of stepping on the field was at this moment. At this moment, Li Jiu held an anonymous report letter. As his father, Master Zhu was preparing to accept questioning and show his righteousness. Speaking of which, this matter was promoted by Wu Kang, and the plot was quite tortuous.

On the fifth day of this month, I took my sister Wu Shun to visit Xiaolin Valley with me. Xu Naturally took his troops to hunt in Xiaolin Mountain, trampled on the millet land with horses and stomped on the land. He had a conflict with the landlord. Xu Er was so angry that he actually shot the landlord. In fact, he was just a scare, and the long feathered arrow shot flew over the head of the landlord.

It was originally a small matter, but Wu Kang was interested. His thoughts were turned on and tricks surged into his mind. So he started to make arrangements and used small events to bring down the dynasty. Master Xu was a big man, immersed in the officialdom for many years and experienced too many storms. He was definitely an old man.

When you are in the face of big things, you know how to choose and will not give someone a handle. But these big people often disdain when facing small things. If you lose your vigilance, you will reveal flaws. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, if you want to overthrow big people, you must start with small things.

Slowly rolling snowballs, and unexpectedly, the gutters will capsize. Wu Kang is good at this, and he did it perfectly. Luoyang scholar Li Fengjie, who existed like an ant, was seduced by him because he failed the imperial examination: sued the Censor Li Chao, the Crown Prince Xima Wei Jifang, and secretly formed a clique for personal gain.

Then he used Bai Yang to instigate Xu Jingzong to involve Chang Sun Wuji and create a major case of rebellion. He continued to fuel the fire, and the snowball became bigger and bigger, resulting in Wuji being killed and the reign of the Long ties being liquidated. In the end, he was involved very widely, and countless innocent people were beheaded or exiled.

He had planned to do something before, and Wu Kang was vengeful and was ready to play another game. Take the first step first, and grab the master's handle through small things. Take out the official seals and send someone to inform the landlord and go to the Constitutional Platform to file a complaint. I will be your backing.

The backing was very thick. General Fengchen Guard and the queen's subordinate brother were absolutely thick. The landlord was grateful. According to Wukang's arrangement, he ran to Hongwenguan first and found Yang Jiong to get the paper. He went to the Sixiantai to sue. The Grand Secretary Xian Yang Deyi was recommended by Master, but he was not accepted.

He thought so, and the little man sued the prime minister, and basically had no way to appeal. As long as he ignored it, he would sink into the sea and ended up leaving it alone. The master also thought so, and received a report from the Germans, and naturally beat him to think about it for half a year. In the end, he was treated coldly, but he did not report it.

This is understandable. If your biological son commits a crime, he will try every means to protect his sins. Those officials who kill their relatives for justice and regard the law as the gods are included in movies and TV dramas. I guess in his opinion, trampling on farmland is not a problem at all. He has taught him a lesson, and it is not my stepping on it. He must be safe and sound.

When Wu Kang got the news, he almost laughed out loud: "Mr. Xu and Yang Deyi, the handle of not reporting the information has been caught by me. Shunzi, do you know that people make mistakes. The key is to see who will use the mistakes. These two old fried dough sticks have indeed lost their vigilance in the face of trivial matters."

You don’t think about it. A commoner dared to refuse to give in because of a trivial matter. He came directly to the Constitutional Platform, submitted a complaint, and sued the second generation of the Prime Minister’s family. Where did he get the courage and confidence, and he was not afraid of the prime minister’s revenge?

If you use your brain a little, you can find out the clues. Behind the landlord, there must be a strong backer and a challenge to the prime minister. But it is a pity that you have lost your vigilance and did not think deeply. If you make mistakes in the exam paper I have prepared, you will be wrong in the next step.

Qian Shun replied in a low voice: "The first step has been completed. We should proceed to the second step. We will continue to fuel the fire and roll the snowball up. However, our subordinates thought that the boss should not come forward. If you two have a holiday, the saint will definitely know. If you come to report it, it may be counterproductive."

Wu Kang smiled but said nothing. As long as the group became a snowball, someone would push it. Just wait and see. On the tenth day of June, the landlord who had no choice but to appeal met a enthusiastic person. The Xitai Sheren and the Sixian Doctor Yuan Gongyu sent someone to inquire about the process, then changed his name and reported it to Li Jiu.

Speaking of Yuan Gongyu, Wu Kang admired him very much. He was highly knowledgeable and talented, and was appreciated by Emperor Taizong. He was promoted to Dali Sizhi. When Li Jiu ascended the throne, he was promoted to Dali Temple Chief. He had a reasonable and justified judgment and the sentencing was fair and reasonable. No one had appealed the cases he handled. Li Jiu was also very appreciated, and holding two official positions was the best proof.

He has a very good character, does not rub sand in his eyes, and is also jealous of evil, so he takes the initiative to help ordinary people. After his death in the future, he will be buried in Mangshan, Luoyang. Wu Kang reads his epitaph in his previous life, written by Di Renjie. The loyal minister Di Renjie has highly praised him, which is consistent with the facts.

However, what is funny is that Yuan Gongyu in the official history is not a loyal minister, but a treacherous minister who frames loyal and good deeds. The biography of treacherous ministers in the new Tang Dynasty also has his name, and is known as Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Wu Kang's father-in-law, and the deceased Cui Yixuan, and Wu Zetian's four lackeys.

This is understandable. A typical one-size-fits-all approach has long been common. All civil and military officials in the court, no matter what they have done or what their moral character, as long as they support Wu Mei, they will be the number one treacherous minister. As long as they oppose Wu Mei, no matter what the reason is, they will be loyal ministers and generals.

Master Xu in official history was blown out of the sky, a loyal minister. Wu Kang was determined to set up a task to deal with Master Zhu, and he would definitely be a treacherous minister. If you stand up for the people, as long as you hurt loyal ministers, you would be a treacherous minister. But it doesn’t matter. The infamy during your lifetime and the slander after death will all go to his mother.

The first two steps have been completed, the snowball rolls big enough, and the ending is about to begin. This time, Li Jiu's question is the last chance. If you don't deal with it well, I will achieve my goal. You will roll the bed and leave, and the Grand Secretary Xian Yang Deyi will also be implicated by you. The snowball melts into water or condenses into ice, in your mind.

Li Jiu coughed a few times, stared at him and said lightly: "As the prime minister, Master Wu has no way to teach his children. He naturally stepped on the farmland and after a quarrel, he whistled to shoot the people. But you concealed it and did not report it. Wouldn't it be abusing your power or a blessing?"

Master Zhu's face was as deep as water, and he secretly glanced at the Zongyi Mansion, and replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am the prime minister of the central government. With a innocent heart, I serve Your Majesty with the right way. Unfortunately, everyone is difficult to adjust and cannot unite the hearts of the people. Therefore, I am attacked. I ask Your Majesty to give a clear explanation."

Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion turned a blind eye to Wu Kang's smile. Until this moment, you didn't know who was the one who harmed you. Master Zhu, Master Zhu, it was not my situation, but your cooperation. In the end, I hoped to break the deadlock and be ruined by you, and I'll be waiting for a big trouble.

Li Jiu looked ugly, and Master Zhu continued to defend himself: "Through history, those who can be powerful and blessed may be held in a strong army or live in a major city. I am a civil servant who serves as a wise and wise monarch. I only know how to defend myself and do not dare to be arrogant and blessed? I hope Your Majesty will be careful."

The aura suddenly became silent, Wu Kang had excellent hearing and breathed heavier behind him. He couldn't help but laugh, Master Zhuo cooperated too much and was accomplished. The third step in this game was to let the protagonist in the game touch the nerves of power and provoke the authority of the leader.

The horse trampled on the farmland and whistled the landlords, it was originally a small case. Moreover, the main culprit of this case was not Xu Guoshi, so Li Jiu would not care. He just put it on the line and just bow his head to admit his mistake. Li Jiu could only make a warning, and then the small matters would be gone.

But when he faced the accusation, he actually chose to defend himself, and the nature was immediately serious. The reason is obvious. If your defense is correct, does it mean that the emperor's accusation is wrong?

The imperial power was provoked and absolutely unwilling tolerate it. Li Jiu slapped the table directly. He pointed at Master Xu and asked with a sharp voice: "Are you complaining, are you not soldiers in your hands? Why not do this? The General Fengchen at the left and right will be the position of your Master Xu. General Jinwu at the left and right, I will also let you serve as the position?"

Li Jiu was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. The hat was too big, and Master Xu could not bear it. He collapsed on the ground, and his sweat fell from the big beans. The emperor was furious and had to take the blame. Jingzong decisively took action: "How can a minister do this? He is really not allowed to be punished."

Yifu was unwilling to let it go. Only by trampling you to death can the left prime minister fall on Li's head. So he stood up and saluted and began to beat him: "The master is in the center, the son is arrogant and the son is arrogant and protects the situation afterwards. Yang Deyi, the Grand Secretary, actually knew that he would not report it. He ignored His Majesty's trust and agreed to be a free place."

Master Wu was stunned and Li Jiu was furious: "Jingzong drafted an edict, but Master Wu knew that it would not report it. He immediately dismissed the left prime minister and escorted it to Xiantai Prison. His second son Xu Natural deliberately attempted to kill someone and was exiled to Qianzhou, Jiangnan. His eldest son Xu Zisui dismissed Qianniu Bei and closed his door to think about his mistakes at home."

Hearing this punishment, Master Hu trembled all over and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and soon burst into tears. Wu Kang was a little confused. The so-called Qianzhou in Jiangnan was Ganzhou in Jiangxi. Xu Natural, a half-baked boy, deserved the crime, but why was my subordinate Xu Zisui also affected?

Li Jiu completely ran away, and the poor Yang Deyi was exiled to Tingzhou without judicial trial. Tingzhou was in the Kingsoft Protectorate, and there were many celebrities. My senior brother Pei Xingjian was there to be the chief minister. His old opponent came to Ji and was demoted to Tingzhou governor and could take care of Germans.

The edict began to be drafted, and Wu Kang traveled beyond the sky to summarize his experiences and lessons. If I put myself in my shoes, I would protect myself, after all, I was my own son. But ordinary people were not afraid of the prime minister and went to the Constitutional Terminal to sue. There was definitely something wrong with it.

At this moment, we must realize that there is a force that is conspiring to me in the dark. Master Xu took it lightly, so he easily entered the game. The correct way to deal with it is to prevent the situation from escalating. He decisively killed his relatives, held my son, and surrendered himself directly to prevent the snowball from rolling.

First, separate the relationship and then operate behind the scenes, and then solve the problem perfectly. Because the other party’s target is not my son. Secondly, find out which grandson is the opponent, which is the secretly fueled the fire. In fact, it is easy to confirm, it is a political opponent. If I fall, whoever can get the benefits will be the suspect.

The most important thing is that when the emperor criticizes, he should bow his head and admit it and not make excuses. Don’t consider other people. Li Jiu’s attitude is the most important thing. Li Jiu said it is right, you are right, and you are wrong. The accusations of the rest of the people are irrelevant.

He is not afraid of you making mistakes, but he is afraid of you being disobedient. Take Li Yi Mansion as an example, selling official positions and titles at will, and the court is in chaos. Li Jiu knew very well, why didn't he deal with it? It was because he was obedient. He was a good dog that bites people. All officials complained and had no use at all.

If you speak up and make the power nerves, it means despising the leadership, provoking the imperial power, and waiting to wear small shoes. Wu Kang secretly thinks that the best strategy will break the arm and protect yourself, and the worst strategy will accept the punishment before the king. The dead end is a defense. Poor Master Xu chose the dead end.

Time passed by, and the edict was drafted. The emperor confirmed it correctly. The emperor personally approved the word "官". Jingzong folded the edict and Li Jiu said lightly: "The General Zuo Fengchen, Wu Kang, the Duke of Jinhua County, was imprisoned by the criminal officer Xu Yushi, and went to the Sixiantai to await trial. You are appointed as the envoy of the edict, and the imperial edict was issued by Yang Deyi of the Grand Secretariat."

Wu Kang turned around and accepted the promise, put away the two edicts, squatted in front of the Master, and put down the edict of dismissal. He came outside the Political Affairs Hall, Guan Dao handed it to Li Yang, and lowered his voice and ordered: "Go back to the office to draft the document, remove Xu Zisui and put it on my desk. Huai Gong led two teams to take the Master to the Xiantai."

Everyone agreed to act. Li Yang left with a knife, Huai Gong led people into the hall. Two guards forced the troops to drive the master to the outside of the political affairs hall. After walking out of Zuo Yanming Gate, Wu Kang said quietly: "Can Mr. Xu leave? It's very tiring to support you."

Master Zhu's face was ashes. He was silent for two minutes, pulled the guard's hand away. He looked stubborn and slowly followed behind him, with his footsteps slightly staggering. The guards surrounded him layer by layer, Wu Kang slowed down, left the Tai Chi Palace Gate, and headed straight to the Xiantai outside the palace.

When he arrived at the Xiantai gate, Du Huaigong suddenly scolded him. Wu Kang stopped and turned around, saying with a kind look: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, when the saint's aura disappears, the matter will be over. Last time I went to Taiwan Prison, the crime was even greater than you, and I was safe and sound."

Master Xu stared at him and gradually sneered: "The mastermind behind this is not the destruction of the Changsun family. I always thought that Xu Jingzong was the mastermind. I missed my mistakes. You are not as cunning as you are not as old as you are. You are not as cunning as you are. You are fighting against the big ones with a small one, and you are decisive and ruthless, and I am convinced."

Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything. I was the strongest king, but you regarded it as bronze, so the gutter was naturally capsized. So he put away his smile and pretended to be stupid and cute, "What does Xu Gong mean? Please forgive Wu Kang for being stupid and not understanding the meaning. Don't think about it randomly. Si Xian Gongyu, a friend of mine who is forgot to age, will take care of you."

Master Zhu's smile became colder, almost gritting his teeth: "First there was the Changsun family, and then Master Zhu's today, if you are a small matter, you will be able to perfection. On the day of the incident, you were also in Kobayashi, but I didn't care. Yifu is sweet-mouthed, you are a tiger with a cat face, I will record this account."

Then let’s take a look. If you can do it for the first time, you can do it for the second time. Wu Kang continued to pretend to be stupid, took out the edict, and said seriously: “I want to find Mr. Yang, please make it easier. We will have a long way to go.”

Master Zhu sneered and walked into the gate, and everyone followed closely behind. Huai Gong reported the news. For about half a quarter of an hour, a large number of censors welcomed him, led by Yang Deyi. Wu Kang read the edict, and the censor was immediately busy, leading the Censor to go through the procedures and have a few days of jail.

Germans looked ugly, Wu Kang smiled and took out the "Annihilation of Yang Deyi" and read it slowly: Grand Secretary Xian Yang Deyi, due to his little skills, he has been greatly promoted. The benefits of dust and dew have not been expressed in the interests of the public; the reputation of justice and integrity is inconsistent with the Yi classics.

To favor one's own private interests, to sell favors and give the court favors; to injure the laws of the country, to deceive the people's livelihood. They are free to eat, and to ignore the heavy trust, to form cliques and to make private personal gains, and to be aware of the virtuous, to be defiled, to be vicious, to be deprived of political affairs. They are especially responsible for many years, but they have not been able to punish them severely, so they should be abandoned, to be eliminated from the court, and to be dismissed from the title and to be granted the title.

The Germans were as if they were struck by lightning, and their old body was shaking. Everyone quickly stopped. Wu Kang reached out to support him, his tone was anxious: "Don't be excited, a temporary ups and downs do not mean anything. Victory, defeat, military affairs are unexpected, and shame is a man. I advise Yang to be strong."

About half a quarter of an hour, the Germans came to their senses, stared at the dead fish's eyes, and trembled lips. Wu Kang opened the calculation bag, took out two golden leaves, and comforted him softly: "You can take this to solve the problem. My senior brother Pei Shouyou is the chief of the Protectorate's Office. I will prepare a book for him and ask him to take care of him."

I don’t know how long it took, the Germans burst into tears, holding the golden leaves in their hands, almost crying: “I have changed in the past and made things difficult for me to make things difficult for me to feed myself. Today, I have lost in the past and have changed in the past and have helped me generously, and I feel guilty…”

As he spoke, he cried bitterly, and everyone followed suit and looked at Wu Kang's gaze with some respect. Only Yuan Gongyu had a smile on his face and looked contemptuous. My heart was like a mirror. The two of them fell, and it was your support for the fire. Don't cry for rats.

After arranging Yang Deyi, Gongyu came to see him, and the two of them took a walk and chatted. When they reached a secluded place, Gongyu lowered his voice: "I admire the means of change. Without Master Xu, the dust has been settled this time when the Eastern Expedition is in place. But I am puzzled. Why are you obsessed with the Three Kingdoms of Haidong?"

Wu Kang was too lazy to answer, so he changed the topic: "I guess my sister will give birth to your painkiller next month. I will lend me a few doses of it. Please rest assured that I remember your goodness to the Wu family, including this help."

Gongyu stopped, the two looked at each other and laughed, everything was silent...
