The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 705 Helping You Out
The north wind blows outside the city, blowing the ears of the athletes in the city.

The general wears a ermine coat with a jade tent, holds a wine glass and looks at Xuefei.

——"Northern Wind" Liu Ji (Ming Dynasty)
……

The combination of grace and power, and the combination of hardness and softness are the art of balance.

Bai Fu is a general on the bloody battlefield, but he will not blindly be gentle, appease and support traitors.

The Jinwu Guard and the Jingzhao Mansion announced to the world that those who committed the heinous crimes and committed crimes would be severely punished without mercy.

Bai Fu set down ten sticks of fire paint in front of the Jinwu Guard's office, who dared to kill and set fire to, rob men and women, will be killed without mercy!

Bai Fu holds the Qianniu Dao in his hand, and has the right to cut first and then play.But Bai Fu did not take power lightly, but handed over the criminals to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and they were convicted and sentenced according to the criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The underground gang knows that Bai Fu will do what he says, and will no longer provide shelter for repeat offenders who have violated the criminal law.

Groups of heinous and notorious criminals were brought to justice and transferred to Dali Temple for conviction.After the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviewed the death penalty, he was asked to be executed in the street.This move was very gratifying and quickly won the hearts of the people.

The fish that slipped through the net of the Maitreya Sect participating in the Daming Palace rebellion were also wiped out and transferred to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Fusang, Xinluo, Tubo and other national secret agents lurking in Chang'an surfaced one by one.For these secret spies, Bai Fu firmly grasped their whereabouts, secretly followed but did not arrest them, for future use.

……

On this day, Bai Fu led the Jinwu Guard Xiaoqi to patrol the Sixth Street.

When they arrived at Xuanpingfang, they saw the gate of a mansion open. In the courtyard behind the screen wall of the mansion gate, nearly a hundred soldiers held swords and tied up hundreds of old and young women and children in the mansion.

The soldiers yelled angrily, and waved their whips from time to time, lashing the bound people roughly.

The armor of this group of soldiers is bright, and the lower edge of the shoulder helmet is decorated with black-spotted mastiff fur. One can tell at a glance that they are mastiff guards belonging to the Ministry of the Interior.

The mastiff guard is a secret agency set up by Li Fuguo, the minister of internal affairs. Dozens of quack warlocks named Huzuomin act as hawks and dogs, specializing in spying on the privacy of officials.

Once the political opponent's tricks were discovered, the mastiff guard immediately arrested Renhai and put him in prison, tortured him to extract a confession, and tortured him into a trick.Once the crime was confirmed, the men of the family would be hanged one after another, and the women's family members, women and children would be sent to Yeyou Court as slaves.

All the officials in the imperial court changed their countenance when they heard the name of Mastiff Guard.Photographed by Mastiff Guard's despotic power, the Six Departments of the Central Committee obeyed Li Fuguo's orders, and no one dared to resist and disobey.

Bai Fu frowned, and ordered people to go to find out the situation.

After a while, the school came back and reported that this was the residence of Mr. Zhang Hao, Zuo Sanqi's regular attendant.The bound old and young women and children are the family members of Mr. Zhang Hao.

Speaking of Zhang Hao, he was also a well-known virtuous minister in Suzong's reign, and was known as the "Chivalrous Prime Minister".

In the second year of Zhide (757), Zhang Hao paid homage to the prime minister and served as the Minister of Zhongshu and Tongping Zhangshi.

Zhang Hao was fair and had rescued many officials who had been unjustly imprisoned.Especially for the talented scholars who are well-read in poetry and books, Zhang Hao is more sympathetic to their talents and learning, and takes good care of them:
The exiled immortal Li Bai participated in the rebellion of the Yongwang Li Lin. On the way to exile Yelang, he was pardoned by Emperor Suzong.It was Zhang Hao who obtained the imperial decree of amnesty for Li Bai.

In addition to Li Bai, a small admonisher named Du Fu was also saved from prison because of Zhang Hao's rescue.

Du Fu was implicated in the defeat of Prime Minister Fang Guan, and he was about to be imprisoned and severely punished.It was Zhang Hao who stepped forward again, risking the anger of Emperor Suzong to fight for reason, and finally dispelled Du Fu's murder and was given a lighter punishment.

Du Fu was so grateful that he wrote a poem "Washing Soldiers and Horses" and talked about his heart: "Mr. Zhang lived a life as a river and sea guest. He was nine feet tall and had a beard. He was recruited at the right time. He knew how to make good plans when he helped the country."

In August of the second year of Zhide, in view of Zhang Hao's versatility in civil and military affairs, Emperor Suzong ordered Zhang Hao to concurrently serve as the Jiedu envoy of Henan and the governor of Huainan and other military forces.

At that time, the rebels besieged Suiyang, and Zhang Xun was in a hurry.Zhang Hao rushed to help.

Zhang Haoli invited his friend Huainan Jiedu envoy and frontier poet Gao Shi to go north to relieve the siege of Suiyang.

At the same time, Zhang Hao ordered Lu Qiuxiao, the governor of Bozhou, to send troops to rescue him.However, Lu Qiuxiao was worried that the failure of the war would harm him, so he deliberately delayed, stood still, and sat back and watched the rebels attack the city.

In October of the same year, the rebel army captured Suiyang, and Zhang Xun and other generals of the Tang army were killed.

Lu Qiuxiao was worried that Wang Changling, a frontier poet, would tell Zhang Gao about his refusal to join the army, so he would be charged with crimes and brutally kill Wang Changling.

After Suiyang was breached, Zhang Gao was furious, executed Lu Qiuxiao on the spot, and killed him with a stick in front of the army.

In November, Zhang Hao commanded Lu Jiong, Lai Zhen, Wu Wang Li Zhi, Li Siye, and Li Huan, five Jiedu envoys, who recovered the counties and counties of Henan and Hedong with outstanding achievements.

In the first year of Qianyuan (758), Shi Siming surrendered falsely.Zhang Hao was worried about the imperial court's approval, so he secretly wrote: "Shi Siming is cruel and insidious, with evil intentions, just like a beast. We can defeat him with tricks, but it is difficult to influence him with benevolence."

At the same time, Suzong advised Suzong to beware of the rebellion of Huazhou defense envoy Xu Shuji.

But because Zhang Hao was upright and upright, he never made friends with eunuchs headed by Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen.Under the slander of Li Fuguo and other eunuchs, Emperor Suzong dismissed Zhang Hao from his position on the grounds of "not being in the right place" and appointed him as the governor of Jingzhou.

In the second year of Qianyuan (759), Shi Siming rebelled against the Tang Dynasty again, and Xu Shuji returned to the rebels.Only then did Suzong remember Zhang Hao's suggestion, and recalled him to the capital, enlisting him as a guest of the prince and a regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi.

……

The school has already found out the reason why Zhang Hao's house was ransacked: Siqi King Li Zhen was ordered to die for treason.Zhang Hao once bought Li Zhen's mansion. Li Fuguo suspected that he was in collusion with Li Zhen, and ordered the mastiff guards to search the house to collect evidence of Zhang Hao's treason.

Bai Fu knew very well about the rebellion case of Siqi Wang Li Zhen, Zhang Hao was not among the gang of people who conspired against him.

Bai Fuxin said: "Master Zhang must have offended Li Fuguo, and Li Fuguo found an excuse to take private revenge. Master Zhang Hao is upright and upright, he is the pillar of the imperial court, how can he be persecuted by the eunuchs."

Bai Fu made up his mind to rescue the famous minister Zhang Hao, and took advantage of this to beat the mastiff guard.

Bai Fu found a soldier and whispered a few words.The soldiers were ordered to leave in a hurry.

Mastiff guards escorted Zhang Hao and his family members out of the mansion.The neighbors in the neighborhood knew that the mastiff guards were not formally organized by the imperial court, so they rushed up and surrounded the mastiff guards, refusing to let the mastiff guards take away everyone in the Zhang family.

The people shouted, "What crime did Mr. Zhang commit? Are you going to take him away?"

Between the two sides, it seemed that the mastiff guard was about to make a move, hurting the common people.With a wave of Bai Fu's hand, Zhangqiu Ruoyu led the cavalry of the Jinwu Guards, squeezed out a path from the crowd, and came in front of the mastiff guards.

The leading mastiff guard general pointed at Zhang Chou Ruoyu, and said: "The mastiff guard is here to handle the case, and the Jin Wu guard will quickly disperse the idlers."

Zhang Qiuruo said with a silly smile: "This is the area under the jurisdiction of our Jinwu Guard. It is appropriate for this lord to handle the case with us first."

The mastiff general got impatient and reprimanded: "It's a joke! The mastiff is arresting important criminals from the imperial court, so do we need to say hello to you?"

Zhangqiu Ruoyu was calm and said with a smile: "Since you are an important criminal in the imperial court, you ransacked your house and seized people, do you have arrest documents?"

The general of the mastiff guard said proudly: "Our mastiff guards arrest people, why do we need to arrest documents."

Zhang Qiu Ruoyu took his time and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is an official to the prime minister. Without the arrest document issued by Dali Temple, you rashly ransack your home and arrest people. Isn't it in conformity with the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

The leading Mastiff General was furious and shouted: "Bold! So what if you didn't sign the documents? You, a mere Jinwu Guard, join the army, and dare to point fingers at me?
Don't talk about an outdated prime minister, even if he is a first-ranker in the dynasty, our mastiff guards will arrest them if they want to, and ransack their homes if they say they want to! "

"Presumptuous!" A thunderbolt came from the Jinwu Guard's banner.

Bai Fu sat on the horse, his sword eyebrows were erected, his face was frosty.He pointed at the general of the mastiff guards, and snapped: "How dare you bind the court officials without arresting the documents?! You are really crazy.

Boys, let me take them down! "

With a cry, dozens of Jinwu guards rode horses and galloped, holding long spears and military crossbows, and surrounded the mastiff guards.

Only then did the mastiff general recognize Bai Fu, the general of Zuo Jinwuwei.However, he didn't panic at all, he sneered and said, "Who am I? So it's General Bai.

Zhang Wu, the last general of the mastiff guard Zhonglang, has seen the general, and I would like to ask the general for his convenience! "

Zhang Wunai is the adopted son of Li Fuguo, who has always been arrogant and domineering, without knowing the heights of heaven and earth.

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Qiuqiongyu like a demonstration.

Zhang Qiuqiongyu read the manuscript, his face changed drastically.It turned out that this letter was written by Li Fuguo himself, requesting that Zhang Hao and his family be imprisoned for questioning and that their homes be ransacked.

Li Fuguo is powerful and powerful, and he is good at power.Since he wrote the letter clearly, if he didn't obey it, it would be clear that he was against him.

"Is this eunuch not easy to mess with?" Zhangchou Qiongyu thought to himself.

Zhangchou Qiongyu handed the letter to Bai Fu, and secretly gave Bai Fu a wink, signaling Bai Fu not to meddle in this business, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

After reading the manuscript, Bai Fu suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Mrs. Xu on Yuan Xi night:

Back then, Yang Yichan was bullied by Li Musheng, and she clearly had the right to do so, but because she was afraid of Li Linfu's power, she didn't dare to punish Li Musheng.Li Musheng was spared, but it caused more troubles, which led to a series of events and changed his own destiny.

Although many years have passed, Taifu Xu's words linger in my ears.

Taifu Xu Xu said: "The law of war says: the stronger the enemy, the more enemies the enemy has. The more powerful Li Xiang is, the more political enemies he has, and the stronger the opponent is. If you continue to punch, even though you have a deep hatred with Li Xiang , but it also clearly stated its position, which strengthened the determination of Li Xiang's political opponents to win you over.

In this matter, you are justified, but he has a guilty conscience.It is true that Li Xiangquan is all over the world, but he cannot cover the sky with his hands.If you make a big deal out of it, sue the Golden Luan Hall, bring the lawsuit before the emperor, and someone will speak for you.

Besides, falling out publicly is not without its benefits. When Prime Minister Li wants to frame you with a false accusation in the future, he will be worried about giving others a handle, and he will have more worries on the contrary.You are safer.

If you hold back your punches and don't dare to hit, the snake and the mouse will end up with endless troubles.Not to mention the delay of the fighter, but to expose your weakness.Li Musheng got a glimpse of your inner timidity.Only then did he have the confidence to bite back and come to arrest you. "

……

The past is vivid in my mind, and Taifu's voice and smile are still in front of my eyes, as if it happened yesterday.

"Lack of courage is due to lack of wisdom."

Thinking of this, Bai Fu's body trembled, and his eyes shone brightly.
