In the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), the leap month of April 14th, at the seventh hour of Shen.

In the Paiyun Palace in Wannian Palace, Wu Kang and Wu Zhaoyi talk about the mountains from all over the world, all of which are the shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family. The topics are rounded around, but they still circumvent the children; no matter how wrong the building is, Wu Zhaoyi's determination to marry a baby is as tough as a rock.

At the end, Mei Niang was annoyed and made a decision like a parent. If Xiaoqing gave birth to a daughter, she would be betrothed Li Hong as a wife. Wu Kang was not happy, Li Hong had tuberculosis and died young, would my daughter be widowed?

Just as he was looking for an excuse to decline, Li Hong, who was in Mei Niang's arms, was not happy with her tender childish voice: "Honger doesn't like her uncle, she's ugly, so Honger doesn't want her cousin."

You little bastard, my daughter doesn't like you, Wu Kang's face is so dark. Li Hong was frightened by the hideousness and cried, and the Paiyun Palace was in chaos. The palace maids, eunuchs, and wet nurses all went out to take the two-year-old Li Hong away, and the world finally became quiet.

Mei Niang had a headache, Honger was very repulsive of Wu Kang, and it was useless to say so many good things. A few strands of hair were tied behind her ears, trying to resolve the embarrassment: "Children's words are not bad, Kang Lang should not be angry, Honger is timid. Otherwise, if Xiaoqing gave birth to a little lady, she would marry the second son in my womb."

Wu Kang couldn't help but curl his lips, "You're going to blame, Li Xian is even worse than Li Hong. According to historical records, Li Hong should have died of illness, but you killed Li Xian. As for whether it is true, there is no need to consider it. In short, two short-lived ghosts.

He smiled embarrassedly and coughed twice, "Actually, I think children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them make their own decisions for their own lifelong affairs. Besides, the eight characters are not yet mentioned. What if Xiaoqing gave birth to a boy?"

"Nothing nonsense, parents' orders and matchmaker's words have been around since ancient times." Mei Niang rolled her eyes and said for a moment: "It's better to have a boy. When I have a princess, I will be betrothed to my nephew, and I must kiss you."

Please spare me quickly. My temple is too small to accommodate a monk. You only have one daughter, the famous Princess Taiping, and his reputation is bad. If you cuckold my son, you can make me angry to death, and you still want to live a few more years. In short, your baby is not a good-looking lamp, so you must stay away from him.

His brain turned quickly, glanced out of the corner of his eyes, picked up the bronze mirror of the dressing table. He shook his head for a moment, and said to others: "This face is not scary, and it looks even more heroic and fierce with the cute scar. I really don't understand why Honger is afraid of me, it makes no sense."

Mei Niang slammed the table angrily: "Stop making jokes for me, and stop changing the topic. I will tell you Wu Erlang, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. I am pregnant now, don't make me angry, otherwise you will be done."

The domineering female president was online, and she had a naked threat, and she didn't know how to deal with it. The footsteps were rushing, and Siqian reported anxiously, and Li Jiu summoned him in an urgent matter. Wu Kang was ashamed of an amnesty, and he said, "I'll talk about it later." He turned around and ran away, leaving her in the palace messy.

He ran out of Renshou Hall in one breath, tidied up his appearance, and led it into the hall by the guards. He was also messy in the hall, with seven or eight big shots, all of whom were amazing figures. The Shengshi Army Command had information on all the court officials and quickly recalled the portraits... Two of the big shots deeply impressed him.

The second-last place in the west, the General of the Right Guard, who could do anything to destroy countless military achievements. He will conquer the great army with Li Jie and humiliate the Yi, and the troops will be at the city of Pyongyang, capture the King of Goguryeo, and destroy Goguryeo.

The last place in the west is even more amazing. Liu Rengui, the general of the right-leading army, commanded the Tang Dynasty's Invincible Armada at the Baijiangkou in Baekje, and defeated the Japanese Navy. The first Sino-Japanese confrontation was in full swing, and the group of Japanese slaves fought hard, and they dared not provoke China for eight hundred years.

It was so refreshing and exciting that Wu Kang immediately decided that two foreign wars must be personally involved, even if they were a pawn or a sailor. Liu Rengui was from Weishi County, Bianzhou, that is, Weishi County, Kaifeng City. In my previous life, I was from Kaifeng County and a serious fellow villager.

He put away his thoughts and performed rituals by the king and his subjects, sat beside Liu Rengui, and held his fists with admiration. Old Liu was a little confused. He felt the sincerity of this person and returned the polite and polite manner. Before his butt was warmed up, he listened to Li Jiu's call and quickly got up and left, listening to the teachings respectfully.

Li Jiuyan said: "Your dear, don't be restrained. If you have something to do, please consult you. Eight hundred miles of Yuezhou has rushed out. There was a plague in Zhuji County, thousands of people were affected and more than 500 people died. Zhuji borders Wuzhou, I believe you know the situation of the county and tell the court officials."

I was immediately struck by lightning, and the word "plague" flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but sweat. The plague was more terrifying than smallpox and even more terrifying. The famous Black Death caused 30 million deaths in medieval Europe in three years. Zhuji and Yiwu were bravely bordering. If the plague entered Wu, it would be so tragic.

Countless Wu people died tragically, like a death knives ringing, making him creepy. Soon he was furious and his ears became deaf. Li Jiu's mouth moved and he didn't hear anything he said. His eyes locked Chu Suiliang, his anger rushed to the sky, and his emotions completely collapsed: "Chu Suiliang, you deserve to die!"

His hands and feet were uncontrollable, and he rushed over with a roar, holding his collar with his left hand, and hitting his forehead with his fist as big as a sandbag. General Ashinazhong, the left military guard, stood up with a huge body beside Chu Suiliang. He locked his fist with his left hand, hugged his right arm, and hugged him neatly.

Qi Bibi, Liu Rengui rushed over, Qi Bibi, and Liu Rengui held his waist. Liu Rengui pulled his left hand. The three generals worked together to push Wu Kang down and pressed him to the ground. Renshou Palace was completely infuriated, the eunuchs shouted to protect the emperor, the ministers were dumbfounded, and Chu Suiliang was completely petrified.

The imperial guards rushed into the hall, most of them protected Li Jiu, and a small number of them surrounded the scene. Wu Kang struggled violently, his head was pressed to the ground, and the cold bluestone slabs gradually dispelled his anger. He came back to his senses and felt as if he was ashamed. He was completely finished. He used martial arts in front of Li Jiu, and the birthday boy would drink rat medicine.

He was lying down honestly and cooperated obediently, tied up by the guards and held the neck with a knife. The guards controlled the situation and received the order from Li Jiu and left the hall to wait. Seeing that Li Jiu's face turned pale, the ministers were filled with indignation. He really hoped that time would go back. Impulse was a devil, so why couldn't I control my emotions?

Cui Yixuan knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, constantly begging: "I beg your Majesty to be kind. Your Majesty also knows that Wu Kang has hysteria. He has relapsed hysteria. Otherwise, he would not dare to use force in the court with his courage, let alone hit Your Majesty..."

Li Jiu had heard of Wu Kang's hysteria for a long time, and his face looked much better. When Lai Ji saw that this was not possible, he could not just forget it. He had to put a pretext on the wrong side: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Wu Ping was hysterical or not, it cannot be an excuse to escape from the crime."

Han Yuan went out to join the gang: "Your Majesty, Wu Yan despises the court and looks down on the emperor, so he should be punished. He called Chu Gong's name directly, intending to use force against Chu Gong. If the three generals had not stopped him, Chu Gong would die forever. If he had no intention of such a person, he would have been killed. Please kill this villain to face it."

The loyal ministers' group took advantage of the situation and demanded to kill this villain. The court was full of people. The slanderous ministers' group looked at him on the wall, and Cui Yixuan said lightly and retreated to the next best: "I understand Wu Kang's temperament and will not be out of the way to use martial arts. I beg Your Majesty to let him defend himself. If the words are unreasonable, it will not be too late to punish him again."

Speaking of this, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others all followed suit. Chu Suiliang came back to his senses, stepped out to Wu Kang, bowed and said, "Please give him a chance. I also want to know why Wu Yan wants to kill the old minister."

Li Jiu pushed the boat and sighed softly, "Wu Aiqing, I will give you a chance to explain why he beat Chu Suiliang? I can't tell you that Zi Chou Yin Mao, so I can't convince the court officials. Don't be the governor of Wuzhou, go home to raise pigs."

Wu Kang was a little confused. This is my catchphrase. How did you always know? At the same time, you were relieved. The worst result was to lose your official position and not lose your life. It’s just that I’m sorry for Mei Niang. Lao Chu’s handle cannot be used by you.

Just as he was about to tell the scene, the guards outside the hall came to report that the savior Wu Zhaoyi had arrived. It was a bit interesting. Mei Niang didn't want to let this handle and wanted to fire at Lao Chu. The hall was silent immediately. Li Jiu ordered a request. Changsun Wuji suddenly opened his eyes without any disgust. Li Ji glanced at him, continued to close his eyes and restlessly, and looked out of the way.

Mei Niang knelt beside Wu Kang, tears came as soon as she said that, crying very sadly. Li Jiu felt very distressed and subconsciously went down the steps. Changsun Wuji coughed dryly, forcing him to stop. Li Jiu was very depressed, and had no choice but to surrender to his uncle's tyranny and quickly ordered him to give up his seat.

The actress queen started acting and said she did not dare to sit down. She wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty's expression, there is a reason why the governor Wu beats Shangshu Chu. I believe it very much. Any court officials with conscience who will angrily denounce Shangshu Chu after listening to my explanation."

The hat was very tight, and all the court officials were silent. Chu Suiliang was completely confused. What did I do? Li Jiu didn't wait for everyone to start criticizing him and immediately smoothed out the scene for his beloved concubine: "Mei Niang is careful of his words, and Chu Shangshu is open and honest. I know you are eager to protect your brother, but..."

Li Jiu wanted to speak but stopped. Mei Niang was not afraid. She stared at Chu Suiliang with a sharp look and then threw the bombshell: "As we all know, the rat disaster will bring about the plague. The rat disaster that broke out in Yuezhou was Chu Suiliang."

The court was in trouble again, and Changsun Wuji and Li Ji opened their eyes at the same time. Chu Suiliang expressed dissatisfaction and immediately refuted: "What does Wu Zhaoyi mean? Please forgive Lao Chen for being foolish."

Li Jiu was very anxious and signaled everyone to quiet: "Mei Niang, don't talk nonsense. Whether it is a rat disaster or a mountain torrent, it is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. I know that you are eager to protect your brother, so I'll punish you lightly. Go back to Paiyun Palace quickly, I'll deal with it here."

Changsun Wuji had a black face and coughed twice. The loyal minister immediately jumped out to attack. Mei Niang signaled Li Jiu to be at peace and saluted Chu Suiliang, and said blankly: "The plague in Yuezhou was caused by the rat disaster. Do you agree with the Secretary of Chu?"

Chu Suiliang nodded, Mei Niang continued: "There are too many rats, and it will be flooded. I dare to ask Shangshu Chu, under what circumstances will the number of rats surge? I dare to ask Shangshu Chu, my Tang Dynasty is over thousands of miles away, why is the rat disaster in Yuezhou?"

The problem was very tricky, and all the court officials pondered. After a long time, Chu Suiliang shook his head. Han Yuan came out and saluted Li Jiu first, and said with a concise word: "Natural disasters cannot be predicted. Rat disasters are not only in Yuezhou, and they may break out at any time and anywhere. Not to mention the distance, there was also a rat disaster in Weishi County, Bianzhou three years ago."

When he heard his hometown, Liu Rengui also took the lead: "Report to Your Majesty, my hometown is in Weishi. My father mentioned in his letter that a rat disaster did break out that year. The situation was quite serious. Countless fields were destroyed, and even the food hidden in the beams was stolen by rats."

Everyone nodded, Mei Niang smiled strangely, and turned around and asked Liu Rengui: "Please recall General Liu, was there any strange phenomenon in the sky the year before the rat disaster?"

Liu Rengui thought hard, suddenly widened his eyes, bowed his fists and said, "The first winter was half a month warm, which looked like spring came early. The people were very happy. Soon, the strange phenomenon appeared. The day before, the sun was bright, and the next day it suddenly fell heavily. Is it a sign of a rat disaster? "Dare you dare to ask Wu Zhaoyi, this sudden cold and hot cold is a sign of a rat disaster?"

Everyone became interested, Wu Kang knew it clearly and silently praised her. Mei Niang ignored her and looked at Liu Rengui: "General Liu should know that he can't see snakes in winter because they are afraid of the cold and hide under the ground to sleep. Erlang called it hibernation."

Liu Rengui nodded, Mei Niang continued: "After half a month of warmth, the snake felt the heat and ended its hibernation; when the sudden snowstorm, the snake did not have time to hibernate, and all were frozen to death. General Liu should know that the main food for snakes is mice in the field. Without snakes eating rats, the number of rats surged, and a rat disaster naturally broke out."

The hall was silent and very simple. Liu Rengui was a smart man and quickly thought through it. Shi Feng expressed his teachings and gave him a magical assist: "Wu Zhaoyi's meaning, the reason for the outbreak of the rat disaster was the sharp decline in the number of field snakes. In this way, the disaster of Weishi was indeed a natural disaster."

The implication is that the snake in Yuezhou has dropped sharply, and it is a foregone conclusion. The court officials were unbelievable, Wu Kang was calm, and Li Jiu was dumbfounded. Changsun Wuji and Li Ji opened their eyes at the same time, with strange eyes in their eyes.

Those who can stand here are smart people and know it well. God-given opportunities cannot be missed. Li Yifu took the lead in attacking: "In this way, the rat disaster and plague in Yuezhou are the people who are catching snakes, and it is the one hand that some people have helped."

Cui Yixuan followed closely: "Last year, the governor of Yuezhou wrote a letter asking the court to allow it to pay the land rent with blue and white snakes. Chu Gong believed it was feasible and believed that it was beneficial to the country and the people, and joined forces with Han Gong and Lai Gong to try his best to promote this matter. The people caught snakes in large numbers, and the blue and white snakes were almost extinct, resulting in a sharp increase in field rats, which eventually led to a tragedy. The old minister begged him to take a clear look."

In a panic, Chu Suiliang's face was pale and his feet were almost falling. His hardcore allies wanted to refute but could not find an excuse. If they were to mess around, they would fall apart.

Mei Niang knelt down again and pleaded for Wu Kang: "Report to Your Majesty, the plague can be contagious and is the most terrible thing. Erlang understands the cause and hears that the plague broke out, which may harm Wuzhou. He was so angry that he was in a hurry, causing the recurrence of hysteria and made rude actions. Please be kind to Your Majesty."

The slander ministers who were bought by Mei Niang with money, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, all pleaded for Wu Kang. Changsun Wuji did not say anything. He wanted to protect his right-hand assistant Chu Suiliang based on the condition of "pardoning Wu Kang".

Li Jiu replied: "Although Governor Wu is reckless, he is absurd because of the plague. I have decided to let him down, but I will not be the case. I will release the bondage to Governor Wu... Mei Niang returns to Paiyun Palace first, there is nothing you have to do here."

Mei Niang was disappointed and bowed to Li Jiu and helped her leave with her maid. Wu Kang also understood that Lao Chu was a minister of life. If she did not touch Li Jiu's bottom line, Li Jiu would not be able to make up her mind. This is the best result. My disaster is gone, so I have to control my emotions in the future!

Li Yifu and others were unhappy and questioned each other, and the Guanlong family was facing tit-for-tat. Wu Kang also felt that it was normal. The power cooked cake was so big, and the Guanlong family ate a lot, so others were naturally dissatisfied. The court became a vegetable market, and those who could keep quiet were the generals such as Liu Rengui, the Taiwei and Sikong.

Li Jiu was troubled by the quarrel, and Changsun Wuji spoke at the right time: "Wu Zhaoyi's remarks do make some sense, but the crime is not as serious as that of Shangshu Chu. The initiator of the rat disease was the governor of Yuezhou. He was dismissed from his post and investigated it with the advice of an old minister to serve as a warning to others."

This is to force Chu Suiliang to protect Chu Suiliang, and to use his power to suppress others. All the members of the Long department agreed. The slander officials had no voice, and they were not yet in a state of chaos. Without Li Jiu's support, Li Ji was still out of trouble and could not make any trouble.

Li Jiu looked at Li Ji, very disappointed and unwilling, and listened to Changsun Wuji's continued: "The most important thing now is to curb the plague in Yuezhou. The governor of Wu learned the inside story, and Wuzhou was close to Yuezhou. Therefore, he was advised by the old minister and appointed him as the imperial envoy, and was fully responsible for this matter."

Cui Yixuan immediately objected, and was flooded by the Guanlong ties, and Wu Kang was amused and crying. Good, you Changsun Wuji, you are clearly cheating me. I am not a doctor, how can you deal with the plague? If it is ordinary smallpox, you will definitely be the only one. Cowpox cannot cure the plague.

Just as he was about to refuse, Chu Suiliang suddenly knelt down and blamed himself ashamed: "The old minister has failed to investigate, he is ashamed of the trust of the late emperor, and the people of Yuezhou. Please let Your Majesty know that the old minister has made meritorious service and went to Yuezhou to supervise the plague. The old minister here vows that the Zhuji plague will not go for a day, and the old minister will not return to Chang'an for a day."

The picture was quiet again, and Chu Suiliang volunteered to win everyone's praise. Wu Kang raised his hands and praised him, and Lao Chu blocked the gun for me. Why is it so cute? It's the plague and it's going to be killed. It's too late for others to hide, but he takes the initiative to take over it, and he doesn't accept the noble sentiment.

According to historical records, he was indeed a loyal minister. He was demoted to Vietnam by Mei Niang by opposing the "deposing the king and establishing Wu", and ended up in depression. Mei Niang was rehabilitated in her later years. The political struggle was alive and the death of her life and death, which did not affect her appreciation for Lao Chu.

Li Jiu was also very pleased and immediately agreed: "Chu Aiqing's move is great. I will make any requests. I agree all of them... I will get up and speak."

"Thank you Your Majesty", Chu Suiliang stood up, glanced at Wukang, and made a request: "I beg Your Majesty to select fifty imperial physicians and follow the old minister to go to Yuezhou. Also, the old minister needs a deputy, the governor of Wuzhou Wu, please agree."

Wu Kang was stunned. The great hatred of Lao Chu who killed thousands of swords, even if he was dead, he would take me back? Why did he cheat me so much if he didn't mess with you? He would never agree. As long as the plague does not enter Wuzhou, it will not harm the people of Wuzhou, and Yuezhou will be at my own risk.

Just as he was about to politely decline, Li Jiu spoke first: "I agree, and at the same time give Chu Aiqing the right to act cheaply. Wu Aiqing can charge and fight against the cannibal rats, which is the most suitable candidate. What conditions do Wu Aiqing have? Even if he proposes it, I will agree."

Wu Kang had a feeling that Mr. Li wanted to cheat himself, and he was confused for a moment and said embarrassedly: "I do have the conditions, so don't do it... I also ask Your Majesty to give me the right to act cheaply. In addition, I am the governor of Wuzhou and interfere in Yuezhou's government affairs, which is not justified."

The court officials couldn't help laughing, and Chu Suiliang sneered, and he didn't even want to be a face, and he blatantly wanted to be an official. As for the cheap, he was afraid that I would take revenge on my own, so I was not so scrupulous!

Li Jiu smiled: "Wu Kang, the governor of Wuzhou, has the right to act cheaply and is appointed as the "Governor of Yuezhou, the chief inspector of the procuratorate". The two dear ministers set out immediately and waited for the plague to be lifted and there were many rewards."
Chapter completed!
