Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 358 Nonsense
The neighing of war horses awakened Wang Wenzuo from his short light sleep. He opened his eyes, and the gray morning light was streaming into the room through the window. He stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and saw a dozen The knights were dismounting from their horses in the square in front of the Zoroastrian Temple. The leader was Jin Renwen. He wiped his face in a hurry, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

"Brother Renshou!" Wang Wenzuo cupped his hands and said, "How is the situation now?"

"Go, talk inside!" Jin Renwen waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to step back, grabbed Wang Wenzuo's arm, walked side by side with him, and said in a low voice, "The situation in the city has almost settled down." !"

"That's great! Thank God!" Wang Wenzuo smiled sincerely: "Can I and my people go back?"

"Don't worry!" Jin Ren asked in a low voice, "The city has settled down, but the real trouble is about to start?"

Wang Wenzuo's face changed slightly: "Are you talking about things in the palace?"

"Not bad!" Jin Ren asked, "When I came out of the East Palace just now, I happened to meet Li Yifu."

"Li Yifu? Li Xianggong?"

"Well, it's him!" Jin Ren asked in a low voice: "It's a pity, if it hadn't happened this time, he wouldn't be able to sit on the aspect for long!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Since you are acquainted with the old man Liu Rengui, you should have heard of his reputation, right?" Jin Ren asked with an intriguing smile.
"Of course I have heard that this person is 'famous' in the history books of later generations!" Wang Wenzuo slandered, but said in his mouth: "I have heard that Li Xiang is a bit narrow-minded!"

"It's not just narrow-minded, this Li Yifu is a dangerous villain!" Jin Renwen's evaluation was more straightforward: "But villains also have the advantages of villains. There are some things that gentlemen are unwilling to do, disdain to do, and dare not do." , but the villain is different, as long as you give enough benefits, the villain can do anything! So Li Yifu can be used a lot, but he can’t be used often. He and the Empress also understand this truth, so I said that he wouldn't be able to sit on the aspect for long!"

"Brother Renshou means that because of this incident, Li Yifu has become useful again?"

"Not bad!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "It saves effort to talk to a smart person like Sanlang. If I guessed correctly, the Son of Heaven will use Li Yifu again, and the last time!"

Wang Wenzuo let out a long sigh. He was very convinced by Jin Renwen's analysis and judgment. This person's special identity allowed him to obtain many high-level secrets that others could not touch. He was also extremely smart, so the judgment he made was naturally accurate.But according to what he said, Li Yifu will definitely do many things that the emperor wants to do but can't do, and he doesn't know how many people will suffer.

"But no matter what, these have nothing to do with me!" Jin Renwen found a chair to sit down, and he pointed to Wang Wenzuo: "Also, San Lang, you have made great achievements this time, and the emperor and queen value you more !"

"Ah!" Wang Wenzuo's face changed slightly: "Will that keep me in Chang'an?"

"I'm not too sure about this!" Jin Renwen shook his head: "Who can guess the mind of the saint! If you want to know, I can help you find out next time you enter the palace!"

"Then thank you so much Brother Renshou!"

"Why do you need to say 'thank you' between me!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "Birth is divided, life is divided! According to my opinion, if you really want to stay in Chang'an, you will probably stay in the East Palace. It is better to stay for a year or two. Those who have the opportunity to go to the border areas, after all, the court does not have many talents like you who are familiar with border affairs!"

"If that's the case, that's the only way to go!" Wang Wenzuo sighed.

"What do you mean it can only be like this? What you say is like the East Palace is some terrible place. The prince of the East Palace is the prince of a country, the future emperor, how many people begged his grandpa to sue his grandma, but he can't come. You still feel like a big loser." generally!"

"That's not true!" Wang Wenzuo said with a wry smile, "It's just that I really want to go back to Baekje, and I don't want to stay in Chang'an and get involved in those things. Brother Renshou, you know all about it!"

"I understand! Alright!" Jin Renwen stood up: "I'm going to inspect the four gates of the south gate now, you stay here first, and I will send someone to replace you later!"

"By the way, I have one more thing here!" Only then did Wang Wenzuo remember the incident of Hei Chi Changzhi shooting and killing someone earlier, and he told Jin Renwen about it: "Brother Renshou, the situation was like this at that time. It was at night, that group of people were very domineering, I had no choice but to let Hei Chi Changzhi shoot and kill one person, and I frightened them, how should I deal with it?"

"These dog slaves!" Jin Renwen scolded: "It's okay, if this matter falls on others, it would be troublesome, but you are not afraid, after all, the emperor also knows that you are guarding the West Market with your servants, and the lawsuit will be brought to you." You won't suffer in front of the emperor! At most, let Donggong come out and say a few good words for you!"

"It feels so good to have people above!" Wang Wenzuo thought to himself, he sent Jin Renwen out of the workshop, and then returned to his residence, laying down on the bed without taking off his coat, and soon snored heavily.

Daming Palace.

In the pavilion in the platform garden, the emperor and the empress watched two beautiful deer playing not far away while eating breakfast. The thick purple curtain blocked the cold north wind, and the heat from the earth dragon It was warm in the kiosk, like a spring day.

"Come here, untie the curtain to the south!" Li Zhi said in a deep voice, "I want to see what's going on in the city now!"

"According to the order!"

Because the Daming Palace is located on the Longshouyuan, its position is higher than the entire Chang'an City, where the emperor can overlook the entire city: the narrow and winding alleys in the square city and the wide and straight Zhuque Avenue, temples and barns, shabby rooms and palaces , gardens and ponds, burned squares, rising smoke columns.Outside the city walls are the vast plains, the wide Weihe River, the towering raised land in the distance, the verdant Zhongnan Mountains, patches of orchards, and vast fields.Sitting in this high garden, everyone will feel like a god, living on the top of the holy mountain.

"Your Majesty, there are no more fireworks in the West Market!" Wu said in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Li Zhi nodded. He didn't need his wife to explain. He could see the current situation in Chang'an clearly. After all the troops were dispatched into the city, the riot itself was no longer a problem, but the army itself was a huge threat to Chang'an. Not to mention the huge blow to his reputation caused by the riots.

"Pass down the order to capture Liu Weili alive and give him an official to the Zhu Kingdom!"

"Shangzhu Kingdom?" Mrs. Wu was taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately realized that Li Zhi hated the leader of the bandit to the utmost, and simply executing him was not enough to vent the hatred in his heart. It was obvious that he wanted to torture Liu Weili, so as to intimidate potential victims. rebel.

"Your Majesty! This is the memorial presented!" A eunuch came forward holding a stack of memorials.

"Let's put it here first!" Wu Shi pointed to the corner of the table, then she casually took the top copy and flipped through it. Just after reading two lines, her breathing became heavy.

"Your Majesty, please read this memorial!"

Li Zhi glanced at his wife, took the memorial and read it. Following the number of lines he read, his back subconsciously leaned forward and approached the memorial. Before he finished reading it, he jumped directly to the final inscription: "With Liu Ren, governor of Fangzhou, is willing?"

"Your Majesty, it is Liu Ingui who offended Li Yifu and was demoted to Baekje for his crimes and meritorious service!"

"Yes, yes, it's him, I remembered!" Li Zhi patted his thigh lightly: "The strong man in white is nine feet tall, holding a golden knife in his hand and raising Dongfang, such obvious demonic words Luoyang Mu turned a blind eye to it, and did not hear it, and it turned out to be Such a catastrophe. But an old man who is recuperating in Luoyang is still required to play the imperial court. What is the use of such a person who sits on a vegetarian diet? The decree: Recruit Fangzhou Governor Liu Ren to come to Chang'an to meet the widow, Luoyang Mu dismissed the official, and handed over Three justices punish the crime!"

"Your Majesty, from my concubine's own experience, I'm afraid that such rumors are not unique to Luoyang. We should order the guards from all over the place to investigate strictly. We must investigate and find out the truth!"

"Yes, add the queen's words!" Li Zhi said to the servant who was drafting the imperial edict.

The servant drafted the imperial edict very quickly, but in a blink of an eye, it was finished, and the emperor previewed it and sent it to the political affairs hall.Maybe it was because the excitement consumed too much energy just now, Li Zhichang sighed, raised his head and said, "Ah Wu, what do you think 'this strong man in white is nine feet tall and holds a golden sword in his hand to lift up the east' means? who?"

Wu opened his mouth, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Obviously, although Li Zhi called these two words a monster, deep down he was still quite afraid, or he couldn't believe it.To put it bluntly, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the folk sang "Peach and Plum Song" (Peach and plum, the flood surrounds Yangshan Mountain. Peach and plum, Mo Langyu, Huanghu flies around the mountain, and turns into the garden.), which aroused the extreme fear of Sui Yang Emperor, thinking that Someone with the surname Li will usurp the world with the surname Yang, and then massacre the ministers surnamed Li in the court. Many important ministers surnamed Li lost their heads inexplicably, but it is a pity that Li Yuan was missed.

Later, after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, some people said that Li Yuan's surname was Li, and he was granted the title of Duke of Tang. In ancient times, Emperor Yao was first granted the title of Tao, and then moved to Tang. When connected with "peach", flood can be interpreted as yuan, so the "Peach and Plum Song" refers to Li Yuan.Both Tang Gaozong and Empress Wu knew about this matter. In their view, there is some kind of mysterious power in the dark that can ensure the realization of these nursery rhyme prophecies, which makes them dare not believe it, but also dare not disbelieve it.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Li Zhi didn't know what she was thinking. He sighed and said, "Forget it, Ah Wu, ask the Ministry of Officials to count the officials with the surname Liu who are above the sixth rank in the imperial court, and copy them over!"

In the next few days, Wang Wenzuo lived the decadent life he had dreamed of for many years—he was like a real ruling class in the Tang Dynasty. It's fun.Anyway, after such a big event, anyone in Chang'an City who has good eyesight will not impeach him for being inappropriate. On the contrary, the upper class of Chang'an City agree that this person knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat. He is really a rare wise man.To put it bluntly, everyone was frightened by Wang Wenzuo's ability to cause trouble. He has only been in Chang'an for a few days, and he has made such a big loophole. This disaster star should concentrate on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, otherwise the city of Chang'an will be in danger tomorrow morning. It may not be necessary to dismantle it for him.

Of course, Wang Wenzuo didn't know how he felt in the hearts of the people. He didn't leave the door, and he didn't leave the second door. He wholeheartedly enjoyed life in Jinrenwenfu. Waiting for enjoyment, it is natural to have a good time before leaving; if you are left in Chang'an, there will be more to do after the political struggle, and there will be no shortage of these days.To put it bluntly, Wang Wenzuo really doesn't want to have any side effects before his appointment. It's best to be an otaku with peace of mind.

In stark contrast to Wang Wenzuo's demeanor, Jin Renwen has become a busy man during this time. He runs between various mansions and palaces, shuttling between various banquets, and sometimes has to attend four or five banquets in one night. At a banquet, if he wasn't a man, Wang Wenzuo would have called him a socialite.However, his running was not in vain. Wang Wenzuo was able to get a lot of important news from him, so that he would not become a blind person.

"Sanlang, I have two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

"Good news, bad news?" Wang Wenzuo put down the sheep stick in his hand, looked at Jin Ren, who was besieged by the world, and asked, "Then let's hear the good news first!"

"Your Majesty summoned Liu Rengui yesterday and praised him a lot. I heard that he is going to stay in Chang'an!"

"Oh? It's great to have such a thing!" Wang Wenzuo laughed, anyway, Liu Rengui was also a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side in Baekje. At such an old age, staying in Chang'an is better than continuing to go to Baekje to drink The northeast wind is stronger: "Is it going to be promoted?"

"It should be, I heard that he is going to be the imperial doctor!"

"Doctor Yushi?" Wang Wenzuo rubbed the back of his head: "This seems a little wrong? Forget it, after all, it's good to be promoted! Where does Mr. Liu live now? Tomorrow we will prepare a generous gift and come to congratulate him!"

"There's no rush for this, it's not too late to go after the edict comes down!" Jin Ren asked with a smile.

"Yes, what about the bad news?"

"Bad news? Liu Renyuan may be transferred back?"

"Returned? This is not bad news, is it?" Wang Wenzuo smiled, but he quickly saw something from Jin Renwen's dignified face: "Returned to punish the crime? Why?"

"Punishment is not enough!" Jin Ren asked in a deep voice, "Sanlang, do you still remember the piece of paper you pulled out from the brazier at Liu Weili's house?"

"The one you took out? Are you talking about those prophecies?" The smile on Wang Wenzuo's face disappeared: "But what does this have to do with Liu Renyuan?"

"First, his surname is Liu; second, Baekje is in the east!"

puff!
Wang Wenzuo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "Just because of this? How many people in the world have the surname Liu? If so, then Liu Qi is also surnamed Liu, and Hebei is also east of Chang'an!"
