In the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), the first day of the sixth month, at one moment of Shen.

In the second hall of Zhuji County, Yuezhou, Wu Kang was sweating profusely, and the melting ice cubes next to him could not relieve the heat. This year was a bit unlucky because there was a leap month of April, which was the middle of the mid-day period, and the middle-offs in the mid-offs reached this time. In addition, Xincheng was aggressive, and his whole body was even hot and his sweat was wet.

The clothes stuck to their bodies, which was quite uncomfortable. The princess agreed and ran into the living room, changed her purple robe, and wore loose clothes. At the same time, she thought about it and quickly wrote down her belly. How to explain to Xincheng? Brother Wuji had no good ending.

After getting a general idea, I came to the outer hall again, and my eyes were still cold in Xincheng. I knew I couldn't escape, so I sat opposite me and made my last attempt: "You see, it's quite hot this day, so don't discuss bad things, talk about some romance, and sing and chanting poems?"

The aunt had no expression on her face and directly spread the topic: "Uncle and Chu Suiliang are the ministers of the ninth brother's life. Aye told Chu Suiliang that his uncle was loyal and did not allow villains to be separated. You tell me why there was no good ending, can the ninth brother harm him?"

After breaking the casserole, Wu Kang expressed his helplessness and could only answer the topic: "If you are unlucky, you will fall on the 'Minister of Gu Ming'. Throughout history, especially the powerful ministers of Gu Ming, there are few who have a good ending. You will either be killed during your lifetime or liquidated after your death. Of course, this is the opinion of the family. You must feel unreasonable, don't worry."

Xincheng nodded, and Wu Kang continued: "The most successful person in Gu Mingchen should be Zhou Gongdan, who assisted the young King Cheng of Zhou and had full authority to deal with military and national affairs. When King Cheng of Zhou took power, Zhou Gong was rumored and retreated bravely and became a model of ministers. But your uncle is destined to be Zhou Gong, and there is no interest group behind Zhou Gong."

Seeing Xincheng puzzled, Wu Kang smiled: "Changsun Wuji represents the Guanlong family. The prime ministers he promoted were all descendants of important officials of Zhou and Sui. He wanted to retreat bravely, but the Guanlong family refused to agree. Opposing the abolition of Wang and Wu, it was not that my sister was unfaithful to the wife, but that the "Empress Wang" also represented the Guanlong family and had common interests with your uncle."

Seeing that she could listen, she drank all the water in the cup and then fooled: "Your brother wants to take charge of the government, but your uncle wants to take charge of the government, and conflicts are inevitable. The struggle for power has always been bloody, and the conflict between aristocratic politics and imperial power will end in a bleak situation. If you choose, Brother Jiu and Uncle, who hopes will be unlucky?"

Xincheng was jealous, his expression was dull, and he shook his head subconsciously.

Wu Kang gave a furious message: "In order to resolve the conflict, some ministers of the guardian deposed the disobedient emperor and established the obedient young emperor. Even so, they could not escape being liquidated. Although Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Guang, was killed all the Huo family; Wang Mang of the Eastern Han Dynasty abolished the Han Dynasty and established the Xin Dynasty, and finally the clan was exterminated; Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty and Liu Yu's guardian team were also exterminated by the Xin Emperor."

Among several examples, Liu Yu's team was the most unfair. Because the Shao Emperor was incompetent and rebellious, the team considered the family, country and the people, and jointly abolished the Shao Emperor, and established the talented Emperor Wen of Song. However, what is ridiculous is that after Emperor Wen took power, he killed them all because he was afraid that he would be abolished.

Seeing her eyes dull, Wu Kang continued: "The Grand Marshal Changsun is not able to abolish the emperor. Although he holds power, he has no military power. Neither the Imperial Guards of the North Ya or the Sixteen Guards of the South Ya, he will listen to him. He is doomed to fail. Even if the tree is big and deep, he cannot defeat the Imperial Guards' coup."

Xincheng finally responded, and looked over mechanically and swearing: "The Taiwei is his biological uncle, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the first picture of Lingyan Pavilion is also the one that will not be detrimental to the Ninth Brother. The Ninth Brother is kind by nature and will not persecute his uncle after taking power in the future."

Wu Kang felt ridiculous, the girl thought it was simple, Li Jiu was not simple, he was also the master of talent and strategy. After thinking for a moment, he said lightly: "You can recognize the loyalty of the Taiwei, and the saints will not recognize it. Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and respectful before he usurped the time, so he would die in that year. Who knows the authenticity of his life?"

With the easy-to-understand plagiarism, Xincheng's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "According to your opinion, will Brother Jiu take power, attack his uncle after he takes power? Tell me, what will the uncle end and what will the Changsun family end?"

It’s hard to answer, let’s continue to show the facts: “If you cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will blow again, and the powerful ministers will fail, and the end is extremely bleak. Sun Quan’s Gu Zhuge Ke was destroyed by the barbarians; Cao Shuang, Gu Wei’s Gu Ming, was rebelled against the three tribes. The lesson of the past is that the outcome of the Changsun family is probably not optimistic.”

A few minutes later, Xincheng's tears rustled, and Wu Kang didn't want to hide it, so he told him: "In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not the saint who ruined the Taiwei family but the power. In order to prevent the resurgence of the death, even if the saint could let go, the powerful ministers who defeated the Taiwei's wise men would not let the Changsun family go. The Taiwei could not escape the death, the Changsun family could be killed or liberated, and Changsun Quan was in a doom."

Finally cried out, and the blow was indeed quite big. But then again, I was mentally prepared, which was better than hearing the bad news suddenly. Seeing that she was crying sadly, Wu Kang regretted it and said embarrassedly: "Do you need to lean on your shoulders? My shoulders are very wide, and there is no limit on usage time, and there is no charge for any fees..."

I didn't get a response, and I carried forward the gentlemanly spirit and slowly leaned over. With the weight of my right shoulder, I heard sobbing in my ears: "I have known these things for a long time, I knew them before I came to Wuzhou, Di Renjie told me. Now you say this too, is it really irreversible? Is there really no way?"

Wu Kang was a little confused, and Di Renjie got the answer soon: "Mrs. Di and I met since childhood. Once, I asked my husband for his official position. Di Renjie asked Mr. Di to persuade me. Using the words he said just now, I kept my husband away from the government and might save his life in the future."

You have known each other earlier, no wonder Di Laoxier dares to take you to Zhuji. But then again, Lao Di does have the talent of a prime minister.

Xincheng continued to tell: "I was very scared at that time, so I went to the Taishi Bureau to find Taishi Li and asked him for advice. Taishi said that the one who could save Changsun Quan was a young man named Wu, who was in Jiangnan and was also an official in the court."

The Taishi Bureau is in charge of calculation, divination and calendar, and is the largest superstitious institution; Taishi Ling is from the fifth rank and is a feudal superstitious leader. Wu Kang is very disdainful, but he suddenly stares widened in less than a few seconds. If the memory is not bad, the current Taishi Ling is Li Chunfeng, a big boss who is as famous as Yuan Tiangang.

It's a bit interesting. Li Chunfeng actually thinks that I am Changsun Quan's savior? What an international joke? Where does your confidence in me come from?

Xincheng said: "By chance, I heard your name and made many achievements. I think the savior Li Taishi said was you. It happened that the judicial army was vacant, so I reciprocate my favor and asked my ninth brother to agree that Di Renjie came to Wu to serve."

It’s a bit interesting. Lao Di came to Wu to join the military service. It turned out that you were the ones who helped the fire and must be grateful.

Just as I was about to be humble, I whispered in my ears: "Before Huaiying comes to Wu, let Mrs. Di pass the message, and if necessary, let your husband come to Wu. First, stay away from the court and try to avoid being implicated; second, you are Zhaoyi's cousin, let me establish a good relationship. When the disaster comes, please plead with Zhaoyi and protect my husband."

Wu Kang smiled bitterly. A wise man would make a mistake in his mind. Di Laoxier miscalculated. In the future, Changsun Quan was exiled, and it was Wu Zhaoyi who sent someone to kill him in the exile. Next, I can also guess that I was promoted to the governor of Wuzhou, and you asked Li Jiu to let Changsun Quan be the chief minister. It was not a waste of energy. I planned it carefully to protect Changsun Quan's life.

Is this love? Wu Kang sighed, and Xincheng continued: "Worried about making mistakes, he sneaked out and came to Wu with his husband. We are here to make relationships, not to hinder government affairs, never. But you bastard, met us on the way and delivered me a baby, everything changed..."

When he talked about this, Wu Kang felt very wronged and could not take the blame. If you didn't deliver the child that day, you would have a bad life, and Li Jiu would definitely kill me. I wanted to argue, but I'd better forget it. Just curse me and listen carefully.

After a long time, the voice sounded again: "My husband is narrow-minded and completely hates you. He does everything in front of me. In order to save the situation, I have a good friend to Xiaoqing and try to repair the relationship. Xiaoqing is named the wife of Jinhua County, and is also the ninth brother I beg for. I asked my husband to follow closely, carry the rat disaster together, and enter the epidemic area together, but he couldn't listen..."

This is a tragedy. Wu Kang smiled bitterly again and said embarrassedly: "So that's it. Before, you pretended to be rude and thought it was interesting to me. Although you admired your efforts, it was useless. The one who killed Changsun was Wu Zhaoyi."

The crying stopped suddenly, leaving only whimpers. Wu Kang sighed: "Tell me the truth, no matter how good our relationship is, I can't help it. Politics will not take into account family affection. Even if the saints spoil you, they will exil to Changsun Quan. You don't deserve it, so what am I? As for pleading with my cousin, I can't do it."

With a long sigh, he said the truth: "Compared with the saint, I am more afraid of my sister. I am too cruel and ruthless. The more the Taiwei resisted the deposed Wang Liwu, the more she hated her, the less she would let the Changsun family go. Not only was my pleading for mercy, it would make her disgust and not worth the loss."

The whimpering sound disappeared, the shoulders became lighter, and the atmosphere became colder: "If you are surnamed Wu, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree. Let me leave the words today. If my husband is in trouble, you should not think about a good life. There are ways to deal with you."

Wu Kang was completely confused and became angry, but he whispered softly: "I said to a big girl, you can't be so shameless or unreasonable. That's a political incident. I am really helpless when I talk lightly! Besides, I don't owe you favors, it's because you owe me life-saving grace, and you can't be ungrateful..."

With a knock on the door, Xincheng turned his back and quietly wiped his tears. Wu Kang was very depressed and was worried that he had not had a punching bag, so you sent it to them? He immediately sat next to the desk, slapped the table and shouted: "Which bastard is outside, come in and talk."

The door creaked open, and three bastards appeared, Di Renjie, Lin Pinglang and Qian Shun. The three of them all looked at the floor. Di Renjie replied: "Report to Mr. Wu, the corpse has been buried. The tomb has been laid and the trees have been planted. Are there any instructions?"

Wu Kang ignored him and shouted behind him: "I said Brother Meng, come out quickly, don't be sneaky. There are all men here, and there are no women at all, so why are you shy? Is the report from Baxiang? Come on quickly?"

Zhang Jianzhi was slow and held the official document bag with both hands, looked down at the ground. He walked forward carefully, put the documents on the desk, and coughed twice and said, "The officials have something to do. Don't disturb Mr. Wu's handling of official affairs. The officials will retire."

Without waiting for Wu Kang's order, he turned around and left quickly, never looking up from beginning to end. Wu Kang was furious, trying to cover up, you slammed the table and roared: "The princess is a daughter-in-law, she is willing to take risks and inspect the anti-plague work. What's the problem? Are there any money on the ground? Look up to me... Forget it, get out of here, you'll get up when you see you."

The three of them were as if they were amnesty, and they ran out in shame, without even giving their farewell gifts. Xincheng also left silently, and Wu Kang was puzzled: "What are you doing? You didn't ask you to get out... No, it's quite hot outside, there are ice cubes here, it's very cool."

Xincheng disdained: "What are you afraid of? Can't I see the light? Those four right-hand assistants have long cleared the yamen and there will be no news. I am very hungry now, so I'm going to find something to eat, okay?"

Leaving freely without a cloud. Wu Kang's mouth twitched straight, doing whatever you want, no one dared to say that it was not possible. Erashes the sweat beads on his forehead and read the official documents of the Baxiang towns carefully. There are joys and sorrows. What is worrying is that there are soldiers quarantined, which are more than twenty; what is joyful is that there are four days, there are no new infections, only suspected ones.

In Zhuji County, a total of 208 people were isolated, 40% less than before. This is a good phenomenon. As long as there is no cross-infection, the plague can be cured. When the infected person dies or is cured by Yu Yuzhen's folk remedy, the disaster relief will be over.

Tomorrow, thirty suspected people will be released. They must visit and go to Di Renjie's hometown. Make up your mind to continue reading, never miss any words, and the smile becomes deeper and deeper. As the sky gets darker, the candles of the desk are lit, and the thirst is unbearable.

I don’t know when the smell of rice came. When I heard the sound of the door closing, the new city came over. I was so flattered that I quickly got up to greet me, and after saying thank you, I received the tray. I held the hot rice porridge, and continued to read the boring documents to relieve the embarrassment.

I don’t know how long it took, and I burped comfortably after two bowls of thick porridge. I took the teacup handed to Xincheng, thanked me and buried my head, pretending to read the official documents. I didn’t dare to talk to her, for fear of starting the topic of “pleading” again, and I really can’t help.

A passage of text aroused interest. Lao Zhao, a doctor of medicine, reported that two young and old came to Yiwu. An old man from the countryside and a handsome young man went up the mountain to pick kudzu roots and gave them to the people from door to door. This behavior must be praised, and a letter of praise is written, and a sign is posted tomorrow.

The old man has unknown identity, but the young man is from Yiwu. He is over thirty years old and claims his surname is "Luo". He is very interested. There are not many surnames in Yiwu County, only Luojia Village in Yilin Township. The east end of the village, Luo Laohou, has a nephew named Luo Binwang, who is the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty.

He was 35 years old this year, with his name as a tourist, and one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. The proclamation to challenge Wu Zhao, Mei Niang applauded. When Zhang Jianzhi sorted out his household registration, he accidentally learned that he was from Yiwu, but he was not in Wuzhou. Wukang sent a special person to squat and had to stay as an aide.

If you want to spray someone in the future, let Lao Luo take the initiative to kill them. If you are old and look-alike, you should go back to Wuzhou and you must send someone to investigate. Suddenly, you realize something was wrong. What kind of milk is in the cup, and the taste was strange.

Take a few more sips and savor it carefully. It is not milk or goat milk, it has a yogurt feeling, and it has a faint salty and salty taste? It sounded like a buzzing sound on my forehead, and my mother suddenly stood up and glared at Xincheng: "You...you are too much, how can you let me drink..."

My vision suddenly blurred. The two new cities in front of me shook their heads hard, but they were still two figures. I completely understood that I was drugged by this girl and had a despicable sweating pill. What do you always want to do? I soon lost consciousness, smashed the book case, and the porridge bowl fell and broke.

Xincheng quietly stepped forward, twisted his ears and turned his face open, sure that he would not wake up, showing sadness and helplessness. He clapped his palms and came in. The two men were Lin Pinglang and Qian Shun. Xincheng ordered disdainfully: "Look at your virtues. Can the mouse eat you like a cat? Carry the living room inside and guard the gate of the second yamen."

The two of them were extremely reluctant and shivered and raised the boss. Qian Shun was scared to tears. Dear boss, if you offend you, you will lose your head at most; if you offend the princess, you will lose your head. If you offend the princess, you will lose your head. The two evils will be the least. You must understand me, the medicine is given by Lin Pinglang and it is not my business.

Lin Pinglang was also praying that although I gave the medicine, it was bought by Qian Shun. You should look for him by the boss. In short, no matter how they prayed, even if they said it loudly, Wu Kang, who was unconscious, had no idea.

I was confused and regained consciousness, and felt warm and full of warm jade; I frowned and opened my eyes, staring at the pretty face at a distance... The cool dragon beard mat, the thin silk quilt, the cold back wall, the heart was cold. Tears came down, why did I commit such a crime to me?

Tears were gently wiped away, and the voice was tepid: "Dear Kang Lang, if we are in the current situation, if it is revealed to Brother Jiu, no matter what the reason is, you will die. If I say this, do you have any objection?"

Wu Kang shook his head in a muffled manner, Xincheng shook his head: "It's not enough, it's safe. Xiaoqing and I have learned a lot, and the most interesting thing is the danger period and the safety period. Xiaoqing said that what you taught, Kang Lang knows women's bodies better than women. Unfortunately, I tell you that today is the danger period..."

Wu Kang was dumbfounded, Xincheng laughed happily: "When I have it, you can't lose it. The imperial physician has many ways to determine the relationship between father and son. Li Taishi is a living god. I believe his words, you are the savior of your husband. I don't have high requirements, let him live..."

This is not high, it is as difficult as climbing the sky, okay? Wu Kang looked sad, Xincheng continued: "By that time, Changsun Quan and I will definitely be forced to divorce. If you don't save Changsun Quan, I will threaten my child and ask my ninth brother to marry us. Your wife Cui Xiaoqing will definitely be sentenced to death, and you will not have the chance to divorce your wife."

Wu Kang was tearful. The girl was right. The princess must have a good wife. Princess Taiping married Wu Youji and Wu Meiniang gave his first wife to death. It was really cruel.

Xincheng sighed: "I can do anything to save my husband's life. Please promise me that you will do whatever you want to keep the Changsun Quan safe at all costs. If he is alive, we will be safe; if he is dead, you can wait for the bad luck."

Wu Kang also sighed: "If this is not love, what's sorrow to be like? I envy Brother Changsun. But Your Highness, all assumptions are based on pregnancy. In just one time, the winning rate is very low, only about 20%. You... you actually tied me up? Help, Qian Shun, Lin Pinglang, get in... Why are you doing with a candlestick? Don't be so heavy... Ouch!"

"So keep shouting, even if you scream, no one dares to come..."

At the gate of the second yamen, Lin Pinglang and Qian Shun looked at Fanxing with expressionless faces. They stuffed chopsticks into their ears and wrapped in silk cloth. They really couldn't hear them...
Chapter completed!
