Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 634 Chapter 652: Conspiracy of Duke Zhao's Mansion
While Li Hao was chatting with Yuan Tiangang, at Zhao Guogong's mansion, Changsun Wuji returned home angrily, went to the main room and sat down, and swept all the tea cups on the coffee table to the ground, making everyone jump. The maid wanted to pick it up, but Changsun Wuji yelled angrily: "Everyone back down!"

His yelling, to all the slaves and servants, it was like a roar of a tiger and a roar of a dragon, and they all backed away in fright.

Zhangsun Wuji was furious, gritted his teeth and murmured: "I finally came up with this trick to deal with Li Hao, and by the way, drive a wedge between him and the emperor. The hateful Di Renjie is just a dog meddling with a mouse. All the plans have been destroyed... and now the Wang family in Taiyuan has suffered such heavy losses, 500 million acres of fertile land... Even if the Wang family can survive, I am afraid that their vitality will be seriously injured, and they will be dying..."

At the end of his speech, he sighed again and again. Now that Li Hao is powerful and wealthy, the most important thing is that he is extremely favored. If the eldest grandson Wuji wants to fight Li Hao, he must win over the big families. The Boling Cui and Lu clans in Seven Watches have been exterminated by Li Hao. Among the remaining gentry, some only thought about protecting themselves. Some time ago, because Li Hao grabbed Changsun Wuji's braid, Changsun Wuji Ji had no choice but to draw a clear line with the Li family of Zhaojun.

At present, Changsun Wuji doesn’t have many nobles and nobles. Taiyuan Wang is his most powerful assistant, but if he is so messed up by Li Hao, he will be disabled even if he is not dead. No wonder Changsun Wuji will be so angry and scold Di Renjie as well. up.

Just when Changsun Wuji was sighing, the steward suddenly came to report: "My lord, Xu Jingzong is here to visit."

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, stood up and snorted coldly: "He still dares to come here. If he hadn't come up with such a bad idea this time, how could the Wang family have ended up like this, causing the old man to lose one of his left and right arms!"

The butler also knew that Changsun Wuji was in a bad mood today, so he bowed his body the whole time, not daring to raise his head. After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he tentatively asked, "Then...Master, this old servant will send him away."

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, then said coldly: "No need, take him to the living room, and the tea will serve you."

"Yes." The butler bowed and retreated.

Xu Jingzong once enjoyed the lowest hospitality treatment, that is, the housekeeper brought him to the living room to wait for the master, and served a cup of tea, which was old tea. Li Hao's knowledge of serving tea was learned by Changsun Wuji.

As smart as Xu Jingzong, after enjoying such a bad treatment, he naturally felt a little bit desperate. He knew that Changsun Wuji was angry and blamed him. He sat there and began to think about how to speak when he saw Changsun Wuji.

After waiting for half an hour, Changsun Wuji finally changed his official uniform and came to the living room. When Xu Jingzong saw Changsun Wuji, he quickly got up and bowed at ninety degrees to salute: "I pay my respects to Mr. Changsun. Plead guilty to the eldest grandson."

Changsun Wuji walked to the main seat and sat down, raising his eyebrows pretending to be confused: "Apologize? Where did the Yan family start?"

Xu Jingzong's character is Yan family.

Changsun Wuji pretended to be confused, but Xu Jingzong didn't dare to be confused, and hurriedly said: "This time the strategy was offered by the lower official, and now it has seriously injured the vitality of the Wang family in Taiyuan and caused you to lose a lot of help, my lord. This is the fault of the lower official." .”

Changsun Wuji felt a lot more relieved when he heard the words. Although he was angry with Xu Jingzong, he knew that Xu Jingzong could not be blamed for all this. Although Xu Jingzong came up with the idea, he formulated the specific action plan. If Xu Jingzong didn't nod his head, it would be useless even if Xu Jingzong broke his mouth. He scolded Xu Jingzong before, but he just wanted to vent and make himself feel better.

Changsun Wuji raised his hand and said: "How can this be your fault, Yanzu, you have advised me for this official, how can I blame you, please forgive me, sit down, sit down and talk."

Dominating the officialdom for many years, Changsun Wuji is very familiar with the methods of imperial servants. What he uses now is the classic routine - "slap a jujube with a slap". When it was time, he sniffed his nose vigorously, frowned and said loudly: "Who served the tea, why is it this kind of inferior tea, withdrawn! Change to Dahongpao!"

"Yes!" The butler hurriedly responded when he heard the words, and sent a maidservant to serve tea, while he himself stepped forward to take Chen Cha.

After all the people in the hall had left, Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Your servants don't understand etiquette, so you've neglected them. Don't take Yan Clan to heart."

"Your Excellency, you are welcome, ha ha." Xu Jingzong also had a smiling face. Regarding Changsun Wuji's tricks, he was like a mirror in his heart. Although his official position was not high, he studied these ways in the officialdom. Well done.

After a while, a servant girl came over with two cups of good tea. Changsun Wuji turned the servant girl away, smiled and asked Xu Jingzong to taste it.

The two talked a lot of unnutritive words, and finally started the topic, Xu Jingzong said: "Master Changsun, this time I am here, firstly, I want to apologize, and secondly, I want to tell you big news."

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup and asked, "What's the big news?"

Xu Jingzong said: "Master Changsun still remembers Wu Meiniang?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Naturally, I remember that since this woman entered the palace, she has had many ups and downs. She first became a talented person, then she was demoted to Yeting, and then she was rewarded to Li Hao. Finally, because of her affair with the crown prince, she was almost killed. The emperor beheaded, the prince pleaded with all his strength, the emperor was extra merciful, and ordered her to go to Ganye Temple to have her hair cut off and become a nun, why did the Yan family suddenly mention this girl?"

Xu Jingzong suddenly looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid of someone eavesdropping, Changsun Wuji saw his sly eyebrows, spread his hands and said: "Although the Yan family said, there will never be ears behind the walls here."

"Then let me tell you." Xu Jingzong cleared his throat and said, "Wu Meiniang is pregnant with the prince's child."

"What!" Changsun Wuji's eyes widened when he heard this, the news was so frightening, Li Zhi really slept with his father's woman.

After Changsun Wuji was shocked, his eyes rolled several times, and he frowned and asked, "What is your intention of telling me this news all of a sudden?"

Xu Jingzong smiled secretly, and said: "My lord, Wu Meiniang may be an opportunity for my lord, a great opportunity to bring down Li Hao."

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and asked calmly, "How do you say that?"

Xu Jingzong said: "My lord, as far as I know, the crown prince is extremely obsessed with Wu Meiniang, and her feelings are extraordinary. Wu Meiniang is also pregnant with the prince's heir. Although her future is worrying, the word "future" is really too much." Unexpectedly, the key depends on whether someone helps her."

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up and said: "You mean...to ask me to help Wu Meiniang?"

"Exactly." Xu Jingzong nodded, and said solemnly, "My lord, although Wu Meiniang is in a difficult situation, if she can get help from her lord, it will be different. Maybe one day, she will be able to be the mother of the world. The prince and Wu Meiniang I will be grateful to my lord, and with your status as the prince's uncle, even ten Li Hao can't compare to your lord; besides, there is nothing like the pillow wind. Wu Meiniang is the prince's beloved woman, and the prince is very affectionate. Wu Meiniang must be obedient."

What Xu Jingzong said was so tempting, Changsun Wuji was almost tempted, but Changsun Wuji is not such an impulsive person, he still has a lot of worries in his heart, he frowned and pondered for a long time, then sighed slowly : "This Wu Meiniang was originally a talent of His Majesty, how could she marry the Crown Prince? will be implicated.”

Xu Jingzong said: "My lord, compared with the general principles of ethics, which is more important? As for Your Majesty, Your Majesty also knows that His Majesty suffers from heart disease. If you say something disrespectful, the Crown Prince may not be far from the throne. What my lord has to do is to help Wu Meiniang hide this matter from His Majesty until the crown prince ascends the throne, when Wu Meiniang will give birth to a dragon son, my lord, you only need to persuade the ministers, and she will be able to enter the harem smoothly."

Changsun Wuji was moved again when he heard it. Everything Xu Jingzong said sounded so perfect, and it seemed that it was not difficult, but he thought about it carefully, frowned and said: "It is not difficult to hide it for Wu Meiniang, but if In case the matter is revealed and His Majesty finds out, how should I deal with myself..."

Xu Jingzong said: "Sir, with your ability, you can naturally keep His Majesty from knowing."

Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time when he heard the words, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will take a gamble. Within ten days, I will change the abbot of Ganye Temple."

Xu Jingzong asked doubtfully: "Change abbot? What's the use?"

Changsun Wuji said: "What do you know? The new abbot must be someone arranged by me. At that time, I will ask the new abbot of Ganye Temple to arrange a separate courtyard for Wu Meiniang, and no one will be allowed to approach her. This official will also send someone to secretly protect Wu Meiniang, even if Wu Meiniang gives birth inside, no one will know."

Xu Jingzong heard the words and hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't have to trouble your lord about sending someone to protect you. The lower official has already sent someone to protect him, and he is a very powerful ranger in the Jianghu."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered what Li Hao said to him today, so he asked: "Ding Quan was rescued by someone from you. It is not so easy to save people, how did you do it?"

Xu Jingzong said: "My lord, although I am not very happy in the officialdom, I like to meet knight-errants, and I accidentally met some knight-errants with high martial arts skills. The so-called dragon has the way of the dragon, and the way of the snake has the way of the snake. There are some things that cannot be seen. Light, it is very appropriate to send these rangers to do it, if your lord has any urges in the future, just let the subordinate officials know, and the subordinate officials will let them do it immediately, and everything will go well."

"En." Changsun Wuji nodded upon hearing the words, and suddenly asked, "Can the Yan family introduce these rangers to me?"

"This... this..." Xu Jingzong didn't expect him to say this sentence suddenly, he was suddenly very embarrassed, he secretly sighed in his heart that Changsun Wuji was too careless, and directly stated that he was digging the wall, it was shameless.

Changsun Wuji just asked a question tentatively. Seeing Xu Jingzong's appearance, he laughed and said, "Haha, I'm just joking. Yanzu, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, hahaha..."

"Haha..." Xu Jingzong could only laugh in embarrassment, but secretly despised Changsun Wuji in his heart.

The two chatted for a long time, Xu Jingzong was about to leave, Changsun Wuji sent a butler to send him out.

After Xu Jingzong walked out of Changsun Wuji's house, two guards stepped forward to salute. Xu Jingzong nodded, glanced at Changsun Wuji's house, snorted coldly, and thought to himself: "Old fox, do you think you are still ten years ago? It's not because you still have a little value to use, I don't bother to talk to you."

He thought to himself, turned around and left, Xu Jingzong was definitely a mudslide among the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, he had already taken refuge in Yuan Tiangang, at most he was just using his eldest grandson Wuji, Yuan Tiangang would not be so stupid as to recruit his eldest grandson Wuji, because he was not sure that he could convince Zhangsun Wuji, what he said in front of Li Hao was just bragging.
