Chapter 12 Send Yuan Gongyu to Wuzhou
In the first year of Linde (664 AD), the nineteenth month of autumn is at the 7th hour.
Li Yifu, the Duke of Hejian County, is known as the hidden sword in his smile, and is nicknamed Li Mao. He used to be a powerful man and had countless cliques, but now he is a big tiger, and has been defeated by gloriously. Li Jiu was cruel and exiled to the state of Wuzhou, which is Xichang, Sichuan. Stay honestly, wait for thousands of years to see the launch of satellites.
His eldest son Li Jin was exiled to Zhenzhou, went fishing in Hainan Island, and participated in the Haitian Festival. The rest of the descendants, daughters and relatives, together with his son-in-law, were all exiled to Tingzhou to support the construction of Xinjiang. The matter was not to do personnel, and the family was exiled separately, scattered from all over the world, and could not take care of each other.
According to the customs of the court, after knocking out the tiger, he seized his property. He did not bother the two masters in one matter. He carefully considered the Xing Zhengqing Wu Kang and became the minister of the family. He led the Zuo Fengchen Guard, the left and right Yulin Imperial Guard, and Si Yuan recorded the officials and confiscated the Li family's property.
The oil that is fat for errands must be filled with your own pockets and implement the 37-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
Three percent of them were given to colleagues, that is, all staff members who participated in the search of the house; three percent were given to Li Jiu and enrich the palace treasury; three percent were given to Mei Niang and used as cosmetics for her. The last percent was divided equally with Xu Jingzong, so in the end, he only got 600 stagnants.
When he was planning to Yifu, he asked his friends for help. Now the overall situation is decided and he must return favors. So he made a joke, and he threw out six hundred guan and gave out another five hundred guan. The wife was angry and cried, and pointed at his nose and scolded: Others searched their houses for food, but you threw money out. In the future, the houses were banned from being raided, and this life was impossible...
Wu Kang was very depressed. Our old couple, don’t mention divorce, just live a dodge. The fall of Li Yi Mansion was celebrated, and the people rushed to tell us that today, the four evil clans will be killed. The so-called four evil clans refer to the son-in-law of Yi Mansion, which shows how deep the sins are.
The people of Chang'an City spontaneously organized celebrations. If there were firecrackers at this time, the New Year would definitely be celebrated in advance. The most funny one was Yang Jiong, a great master of the early Tang Dynasty, who secretly wrote a Lubu article. The name was very interesting: Wu Kang, the chief marching chief of the Hejian Road, and Li Yifu, the great bandit in the Bon Tongshan.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the marching practice was to attack a certain place and appoint a general manager of a certain road. Yifu was named Hejian County Duke, and the person responsible for handling him was the general manager of the Hejian Road. The so-called great bandit in Tongshan is a metaphor for being insatiable and gathering copper coins like a mountain.
The article is short and concise, such as the sins of Yifu. For example, it is said that it is mixed with slaves and servants, and everyone knows the family and competes for it. The meaning of this sentence is that Yifu plunders the people, including strong men and beautiful women, and forces them to be slaves and servants.
Wu Kang confiscated the Li family and burned the slave documents according to the court's instructions. All the slaves in the Li family were compensated for money and gave them freedom. The slaves knelt on the ground to thank them, and each of them was grateful and went home for a while, just like a reservoir laying a gate.
Literati scrambled to copy and paste the streets and alleys, which led to the preciousness of paper in Chang'an. The central idea of revealing cloth criticized Li Yifu and praised the morality and reform. How much hatred does Yifu have, how much respect does Wukang have, and how much praises it has, who doesn't know you in Chang'an?
The favor must be paid back, sixty-six guan and six coins, which means that it is very easy to do things. I sent someone to Yang Jiong. This time, the show was very effective, and the wife smiled. She snuggled in her arms, and acted coquettishly: My husband is thoughtful, and Nu Nu should not be wrong. In the future, we will search the house more and live a good life...
The unlucky little girl, Wu Kang, was so amused that she sighed. She brought her wife back to the bedroom, took out the gift, embroidered chessboard, and carved chess pieces. She originally planned to give him a gift to Gongyu on his birthday on the twelfth lunar month. Unfortunately, luck made people so bad that the old uncle had to give it out in advance.
According to the court's convention, after the big tiger fell, it would liquidate the small minions. Liu Xiangdao, the right prime minister of the prosecutor, was promoted to Taichangbo of the Secretariat, and deal with those who bought officials. Carefully screen and identify them, find out the small backstage, and all the dismissals were dismissed and investigated. Those who had any disputes with him in the court would be impeached by the censor.
The wind was heard and his butt was unclean, and his butt was trembling. Yuan Gongyu, the doctor of Sixian, was a good friend of the Yifu, and naturally encountered impeachment. The Censor Huangfu Gongyi first submitted a memorial to report, and the rest of the people were moved when they heard the news.
Li Jiu stayed at the end of the school and did not announce it. Three days later, Gongyu made a fool of himself. He actually wrote a memorial to the court, saying that the Yi Mansion was in poor health, praying for the saints to be kind to him and equipped with a pack horse for transportation. He then stabbed the hornet's nest, because Taizong stipulated that all exiled people must go on foot.
The Censor Li Xingmin impeached Yuan Gongyu at the court meeting. Li Jiu questioned him sternly and could only bow his head and confess his guilt. The punishment followed: dismiss the Xitai Sheren, dismiss the doctor of Sixian, and demoted him to Sima, Wuzhou. He quickly went to Siyuan to hand over and left the capital within ten days.
The official of the fifth rank of Beijing, who is from Sima, who is from the fifth rank of Beijing, is very pitiful. At around noon today, the men, women, young and old of the Yuan family will bid farewell to the capital of Chang'an through the gate of Mingde. Then they will travel a long distance to Wukang's nest and manage the people of Wuzhou.
Ten miles south of the city, beside the ancient road outside the Changting, there were only loess across the sky and luxurious horse carriages. Thirty guards were alerted, Zhao Sheng took care of the horse carriages, Qian Shun and Chu Shenke, and guarded the big boss next to him. Wu Kang and Cui Xiaoqing were under the bare willow tree, staring at the fields in a daze.
Xiaoqing was in a bad mood, holding a willow branch in her hand, wiggling without rhythm. Finally, she threw it into the ground, and her words were full of resentment: "As soon as Li Yi Mansion was dealt with, the saint issued an edict, your details of Xing Zhengqing will be dismissed by him immediately. This is to cross the river and destroy the bridge. I want to be a third-rank civil servant."
The wife was an official fan, and Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything. Li Jiu was expected to act like this. The prosecutor and the prosecutor only asked for the trial of Yifu, and he would naturally take it back. In fact, the identity of the relative of the foreign country was born with the attribute of being beaten. It can be believed that as long as Li Jiu was alive, he would not let him participate in politics.
Wu Kang knew very well that he could give me General Zuo Fengchen and General Zuo Yulin. Because he had no use and had no military power. Especially Fengchenwei, those who served in it were all children of high-ranking officials and could not control it. Take Shangguan Tingzhi as an example. With his father Shangguan Yi here, he would not be able to make friends with me.
He looked at her gently and comforted her softly: "Don't worry about gains and losses. I don't want to do it because I think Xing Temple can exhaust people. Li Jiu is pretty good. Yesterday, in the edict, the prosecutor You Chongye Wei led the prosecutor You Chongye Wei, and removed the word " prosecutor You Chongye". So from now on, my husband is formal, and the prince You Chongye led the prosecutor You Chongye."
He patted his chest and laughed strangely: "General Zuo Fengchen Guard, General Zuo Yulin, General Zuo Yulin, and the third-rank military officer; Prince You Chongye led him, and the fourth-rank military officer. Sixteen Guards of the South Yai, the North Yai Imperial Guard, and the tenth-rank military officer, and the three major military institutions. I have all performed high-ranking positions. I am very good at contentment."
His face was smug, his eyebrows were raised in eight characters, and his expression was very worthy of beating. Just now, two generals of the army and one lieutenant general, could still be on par even if he met the prime minister. Who dared to be better than me in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty? If this is in future generations, it will definitely scare me.
Xiaoqing scoffed at him and spoke sarcastically: "Brother, according to your words, two security captains and one guardian, why are you so arrogant? If I were asked to choose, I would use all your official positions to exchange for the third rank of the East and West Taiwan."
The tender hands pinched the slender waist and continued to mock: "When will you be the prime minister? You also ask your baby to call you a few words. It is really annoying to be a military officer only, not a civil servant. If the unlucky Li Yifu sells the position of prime minister, even if he loses everything, I will buy you one."
He died of chatting again, and the scene was extremely awkward, and the guard couldn't help laughing. Wu Kang rolled his eyes and decisively changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this for now. Since we mentioned Yifu, I will tell my wife about his legendary life. How did he become prosperous, how did he expand, and how did he decline?"
Xiaoqing was very interested and Wu Kang talked endlessly, so she passed the time. Let’s talk about the official system of the early Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination was a joke, and being an official depends on his father. As long as he came from a family, he was in a high position and relied on his family relationship, he could become an official. The left and right guards of the left and right prison guards were all children of bureaucrats.
Yifu was born in a poor family. His grandfather was in Zizhou and served as the magistrate of Shehong County. The small official of sesame and mung beans gave him the convenience of reading. He had the talent for studying, studied day and night, and had been working hard for more than ten years, and he could be said to be well-educated.
Understanding talent is similar to pregnancy. It is discovered sooner or later. The article is brilliant and written, so that it will be able to operate in time. The inspector Li Daliang admired his talent and recommended it to be a disciple of the disciple. He was recommended by Ma Zhou and changed to the position of the Censor of the Supervisor. His poems and essays impressed Emperor Taizong and served as King Li Zhi of Jin, and his life was cheated from then on.
Therefore, throughout the ages, poor families could not compete with their fathers, so they could only study hard. Knowledge changes their destiny, even in later generations, this is the same. However, Li Yi Mansion was very lucky. Li Jiu became the crown prince and gave him the crown prince's servant. Li Jiu became the emperor and gave him the Zhongshu servant, and finally made it through.
Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty officialdom was very sensible. Those wealthy families always despised poor families. The Yifu worked diligently, but Wuji hated him and wanted to demote him from the central government.
Yifu was very unwilling to accept it. At the end of the journey, he received guidance from Wu Kang and started to abolish the king and establish Wu. So the future was dark and the official career was rising, and he was promoted to prime minister step by step.
But it's still a pity that the desire for money is a common problem among poor families. He couldn't control it, so Li Jiu went with the flow and chose him as a biting dog. He kept covering up and indulging him, making him lawless and biting the Guanlong family to death, causing complaints.
Then he started beating the dog, and the Yifu suffered the consequences and received the punishment due to his due. The people ran around and told him, and the officials were overjoyed. He could only praise His Majesty Li Jiu. Few people discovered that the root of the Yifu's arrogance came from the emperor's indulgence, which was done intentionally by the emperor.
The routines of the superiors: choose to bite a dog, bite the opposition to death, and deliberately indulge it. Wait until the heavens are angry and people are resentful, beat the evil dog in public and let it take the blame. As a dog owner, you must be clear and grateful to the officials and the people. Then choose the evil dog and recycle the above routines. Don’t worry about the source of the dog, because there are too many people who want to be a dog.
Xiaoqing sneered: "It sounds like some truth, but I don't agree with it. You are also from a poor family, but you don't have any penny, just have brute force. Look at you, a third-rank general, at the peak of your life. Let me tell you, how did you make a fortune?"
He died of chatting again, and the guards couldn't help laughing and laughed. Wu Kang's old face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to get into the cracks. His history of making a fortune was very alternative and difficult to talk about, and he relied on women to gain a strong reputation.
The peak of life today depends entirely on three nobles and two founders. The first is Cui Xiaoqing, who was born in the Cui family in Qinghe, but his eyes were not good, and he fell in love with Wukang in a rough house. Her father Cui Yixuan was the governor of Wuzhou and was very caring for his son-in-law and the first founder.
The second nobleman was the queen Meiniang, his god sister. Meiniang was a little superstitious. He listened to Li Chunfeng's words and believed that her lucky star was Wukang in Wuzhou. So he surrounded his relatives and revised the Wu family genealogy. The two people who had nothing to do became father, sister and brother.
The third nobleman was the Princess Xincheng, who was also fooled by Chunfeng. In order to protect his husband's life, he forcibly lost his virginity and gave birth to Wu Xiu. Li Jiu loved Xincheng because of this daughter, so he did not take any ruthless measures. Otherwise, his fate would be similar to that of the Wu brothers, who were demoted to the prefectures and counties and could never return to Beijing.
Li Chunfeng, the bull's nose, is his great benefactor and the best founder. In fact, to put it bluntly, Wu Kang's history of making a fortune is a history of soft-fried food, which is entirely taken care of by women. What's even more annoying is that his appearance is not online, and he is even a little ugly, and the beauty is blind.
Zhao Sheng hurriedly reported that the Yuan family convoy arrived and finally resolved the embarrassment. Wu Kang rolled his eyes and told Xiaoqing softly: "My good wife, please accompany my uncle Yuan and say something to yourself. Ask what you lack, let Qian Shun prepare and give him more money."
Xiaoqing nodded obediently, put away her naughty and funny, and returned to her dignity and elegance. The couple waited on the roadside, and when the convoy appeared, they looked very shabby. Three black-topped carriages, two flatbed trucks, less than ten servants, and there were no guards.
Gongyu went to Wuzhou and only brought his youngest son. He just got married last year. He was over 60 years old and was really pitiful. Wu Kang couldn't help but sigh and stopped the car and shouted: "Wu Kang saw off his uncle, please get out of the car to reminisce about the past. Let's have two drinks."
The convoy stopped in the road. Gongyu lifted the curtain and saw Wu Kang and his wife, and half-joking said, "I originally thought that no one came to see him off, and the change of couples arrived together, which was an unexpected surprise. Yue Niang got out of the car, and the wife of Chu was here, so you go and talk."
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the Yuan couple got off. Although they were old and very strong. When they greeted each other, Wu Kang took out the chess box: "My uncle likes chess. In my spare time, I made this set of chess tools. The chessboard was embroidered by myself and the chess pieces were carved by myself. I hope my uncle liked it."
Yuan Gongyu was stunned and did not take over the chess box. He opened Wu Kang's hand. Looking at the small wound, he sighed and said, "This is the hand that holds a knife. I can't hold the embroidery needle. It's scarred and there is no need. I like the gift very much. I'll give it to your uncle first. Let's go there for a walk."
The two left the official road, walked into the farmland, and walked along the winding path to the fields. Looking at the piles of dung big and small, Gongyu sighed: "We have known each other for nine years. You have called you uncle for nine years. I know it well, are you really or false? I know it. Is the chief secretary of the Pei Palace and the censor Huangfu Gongyi, is the queen's person?"
Wu Kang shook his head and told the truth: "Huangfu Gongyi's son-in-law, General Zhao Daoxing, Zuo Jinwu, has some friendship with me. Through Zhao Daoxing, I asked Huangfu Gongyi to impeach his uncle. I hope to borrow the Li Mao case, involve you and demote you from the capital."
Gongyu was a little surprised and soon laughed: "I guessed it long ago that the people who impeached me are all related to you. I just didn't expect that you were so honest and could meet honestly. I couldn't believe that you value feelings and treated me like an elder, why did you suddenly harm me?"
Looking up at the sky, Gongyu said lightly: "I thought about it for three days, but I still couldn't understand it, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Understanding your character and such strange behaviors will definitely happen. I don't want it to be difficult for you to do it, so I wrote a memorial to the court and give Li Yi's house a horse."
Wu Kang was inexplicably sad. With his prudence, he must have known the policy. The exiled man rode a horse and violated Taizong's orders and would inevitably cause trouble. At that time, he thought that Gongyu was confused, but he did not expect that he did it on purpose.
The Censor Li Xingmin impeached Lao Yuan and overruled the system, resulting in his demotion to Wuzhou. In fact, it was my instructor that Li Xingmin would serve as the chief of the Right Chongye Guard. His cousin Li Shanling was prepared by Zuo Qianniu, and his father gave him the minister Li Chongde to me for helping me.
Gongyu turned around slowly, his eyes fixed on Wu Kang, and said with confidence: "Seeing that chess tool, I finally made sure that the change was about to implicate me, not a temporary idea, but a premeditation. Before moving to Li Yi's mansion, you started making chess tools, to make up for the apology and to make yourself at ease."
Wu Kang smiled bitterly, and Gongyu sighed: "Actually, there is no need. My uncle is old and doesn't want to go through the storm anymore. I can feel that you are extremely afraid, which is very abnormal. Can you tell me what big thing is causing you to be in chaos?"
It's not just a mess, but I want to die. It's so fucking torture. Wu Kang shook his head and replied helplessly: "I'm not afraid of killing people for the first time, facing the killing of Xishi City, and the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield. But this time I faced it, which made me helpless and made me feel desperate. My uncle didn't know it."
Gongyu smiled slightly: "Everyone thinks that Li Yifu and I are the queen's confidants. If you attack us, you will definitely be related to the queen. The fear in your heart is also because of the queen. Only her affairs can make you afraid and make you lose your heart. I have long wanted to ask, who do you think of Queen Wu as, just a brother?"
After a long period of silence, Wu Kang said the truth: "My past and present lives have lost my mother at a young age and longed for maternal love. So what I like is mature women, and I am always teased by you. In my heart, the queen is not just a sister, but also a mother. Isn't she very perverted?"
Gongyu curled his lips and smiled slightly: "I don't understand perverts, follow my heart, and I won't regret it. Li Yifu and I are both people in the game. I hope this move can help you. Don't feel guilty, this is the officialdom: to achieve our goals, we do whatever we want, regardless of our relatives, we are all chess pieces."
He patted his shoulder and continued to comfort him: "You have promoted you to Zhang Jianzhi, the governor of Wuzhou, and Luo Binwang, the chief of Wuzhou. Si Lie Taichangbo said that the people of Wuzhou are still thinking about your good deeds at this moment. We are friends forgot about our years, so my work will surely be smooth."
Wu Kang doesn't agree. I hope that as you said, your sacrifice will be useful. It can reduce Li Jiu's disgust for Mei Niang's interference in politics. The lower his disgust, the higher my chances of winning. Old Yuan, don't worry, when the storm passes, I will try every means to transfer you back to the central government.
The two of them were talking freely and felt very comfortable. Wu Kang shook his head and coughed a few times and said, "Since it's a farewell, I'll recite the farewell poem. My uncle listened carefully. Yangguan Wanli Road, no one came back, but only the geese by the river, and autumn came and flew southward."
Gongyu sneered at him and waved his hand to mock him: "The Southern Liang Yu Xin's work, named "Recent Farewell to the Secretary of Zhou", is somewhat suitable. I heard from him that if I have time in the future, I will read more books. If I always dance with guns and sticks, I will become a reckless man."
Wu Kang sneered at him and was about to face him, and suddenly heard Qian Shun shouting. The empty fields seemed particularly clear. On the official road in the distance, the guards lined up, and the horizontal swords were unsheathed. The group of people opposite him had a bamboo sedan chair in the middle, and there was a person sitting vaguely. More than ten strong men were carrying them, and they were so big...
When Wu Kang despised the confrontation, he sneered, and the depression in his heart could be relieved. Gongyu also smiled and said sarcastically: "That poem does not fit the scene. There are many people returning. If you say goodbye to me, don't cause trouble. It's better to save your worries and save your energy to do that big thing."
You are right, go do that big thing...
