Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

To be able to work as an errand in the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, the status is naturally not ordinary, but compared with the person in front of him, those status and contacts are nothing!Her Majesty's nephew borrowed hundreds of people, and then died inexplicably. Her Majesty was furious, and the Crown Prince of the East Palace fished him out with a sword.What's the situation?Tomorrow morning, is this person going to take everyone to send the prince into the Daming Palace to become the emperor?Thinking of these, everyone's minds were warmed up.

"Okay, you all back down!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand, signaling for everyone to back down.

After all the generals Zuodu retreated, Wang Wenzuo let out a long breath tiredly, and his tense body relaxed.He really knows the group of guys in front of him very well. These geographical ghosts who have stayed in Chang'an for a long time have a pair of protruding ears and good noses. They are very good at listening to the wind and smelling the smell.If I don't stand up, I'm afraid they will think that I have lost power, and no one will listen to what I say at that time.

"Sanlang, Sanlang!" Cui Hongdu hurried in from the door: "You are just in time, I just got some important news!"

"What news?" Wang Wenzuo cheered up. Cui Hongdu had been elusive during this time, wandering around the city of Chang'an, and he didn't see him for three to five days, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Did you know? The princess has been selected, and she is the daughter of General Zuo Jinwu Pei Judao!"

"Oh!" Wang Wenzuo nodded disapprovingly: "Just this matter? The crown prince was originally chosen from among the daughters of Pei Judao and Yang Sijian. Now that something like this happened to the Yang family, it is natural to use Pei Judao's daughter to replace him. !"

"Hehe!" Cui Hongdu laughed twice: "Sanlang, the show is behind you! The prince is getting married, so of course he will be granted amnesty. The first one on the list of amnesty is Wu Sansi, the queen's nephew!"

"There is such a thing!" Wang Wenzuo immediately became nervous when he heard the name: "Where did you find out!"

"A Lingshi from the Ministry of Punishment, I met at the wine table a few days ago!" Cui Hongdu laughed and said, "Every time there is an amnesty, the letter of amnesty must be written down on silk, and then issued to each state. The list of prisoners is only available in the Ministry of Punishment. Copy it It has to go through his own hands, absolutely can't go wrong!"

"Well, well done!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "In two days, you will send thirty bolts of silk to that Lingshi!"

"Understood!" Cui Hongdu saw Wang Wenzuo's look and knew that he had done the right thing this time: "Sanlang, the queen has a profound intention in bringing her nephew back at this juncture!"

"After all, she is a woman. Some things are not as convenient as men. When my nephew dies, I will naturally have to replace it with a nephew!" Wang Wenzuo smiled. In various history books and storytelling romances of later generations, Wu Sansi always appears as a buffoon of.Of course, this may be because he ended up on the side of the loser, and the winner will naturally not say anything good about him.But the ugliness also has different degrees. For example, Shangguan Waner, Princess Taiping, and Wu Zetian, although they also failed in the end, the history books still recognize their literary talents, extraordinary abilities, and their good governance when they were in office. It's different, basically the evaluation of him is that he is an ambitious man with no lower limit, no moral integrity, and no talent and vision required for political affairs. The Habayashi army killed the whole family.

"Then how should we respond?" Cui Hongdu asked.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it! What else can I do?" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "As long as the prince is still in power, I will serve the prince and help the East Palace to ascend the throne and become emperor wholeheartedly!"

"Subordinates understand!" Cui Hongdu nodded. Seeing Wang Wenzuo's tired expression, he left after saying a few words. It was only when he left the door that he suddenly realized that Wang Wenzuo had only said half of what he had said—he only said that the crown prince was in power. What should I do, if the prince is not in place?But did not say.Thinking of this, Cui Hongdu couldn't help but shudder, hesitated for a while or left.

British government.

"Brother Li, do you know? The court is about to issue an amnesty order!" King Luo Bin said cautiously, "Wu Sansi, the queen's nephew, is on the list!"

"The one in Longzhou?" Li Jingye asked.

"That's right, that's the one! The son of Wu Yuanqing!" Luo Bin lowered his voice subconsciously: "Besides, there is also Wu Chengsi, the son of another brother of the queen who returned to Chang'an, but this one who was innocent at the time body, so there is no need for a pardon, just a recall!"

"Looks like there's going to be a big commotion coming up!" Li Jingye said with a smile, "Okay, the bigger the commotion, the better. Let the empress and Wang Wenzuo fight to the death, and let's just watch the fun in peace!"

"Then brother Li, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"It depends on how the emperor's body is!" Li Jingye said with a smile: "If the emperor's body is healthy, then Wang Wenzuo will probably lose; if the emperor's body is unhealthy! Haha -" At this point, Li Jingye couldn't help but spoke.

"Looking at it from below, even if the emperor's body is healthy, Wang Wenzuo may not lose!" King Luo Bin said.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"At the time of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Emperor Gaozu's health was not bad!"

Li Jingye was stunned when he heard the words. One of the main reasons why he thought the outcome depended on the emperor's health was because he felt that if the emperor was in good health, the chance of the prince ascending the throne in advance would be reduced.

"That's quite different! The first emperor has experienced hundreds of battles. He wears armor and holds a sword to conquer the world. He has returned to his heart for a long time! Although he is a virtuous prince, he has not made great contributions to the world. How can he do this?"

"It is true that the crown prince has never experienced fighting, but Wang Wenzuo has experienced many battles. If he loses to the empress this time, his family will be destroyed. This man is familiar with the art of war and has practiced deceitful techniques. How can he sit still and wait for his death?"

Li Jingye stroked his beard and realized that if he were in Wang Wenzuo's position, he would really choose to raise an army.He thought for a moment and then said: "The prince is benevolent, even if Wang Wenzuo wants to go to war, it won't happen if the prince doesn't agree!"

"Brother Li, do you really think the crown prince would disagree?" King Luo Bin sneered and said, "That's right, the position of crown prince is still very stable up to now, but that's because the younger brothers are still young. King Pei is the fifth year of Yonghui. (655) stranger, this year is already sixteen, even if he is not interested in the throne, those around him will not accept their fate honestly!"

The room fell into silence. Brotherly dispute was an eternal topic in the Imperial House.So far, Li Zhi and Li Hong, father and son, are kind and filial, and can be regarded as a model of an imperial family. However, the problem is that Li Hong's brothers are still young and not enough to threaten Li Hong's crown prince position; and as Li Xiannian As the years went by, the threat to the throne from the prince Li Hong became more and more serious. The possibility that Li Zhi would elevate the status of Li Xian and other children to check and balance the prince Li Hong became more and more likely.If this happens, no matter how benevolent and filial Li Hong is, he will do something unimaginable in the past, even if it is to protect himself.

"If that's the case, then it seems that there will be another bloodbath in Chang'an City!" Xu Jingye sighed, but his eyes were full of excitement.

Fang Xiangsi

The sky in Chang'an was gloomy and oppressive. Standing at the door of Fang Xiangsi, Li Bo could feel the humidity in the air, as if it was going to rain soon. If it really rained, he would be very happy, so if someone was following him, He is easy to spot.

It has been almost six years since he left Chang'an last time, and Li Bo was sometimes amazed that time passed so quickly.The beard on his chin has become one with his temples, and the muscles in his shoulders and arms have grown stronger enough to handle the pair of heavy iron halberds. He has also changed from a wicked boy on the streets of Chang'an to a deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu , Prince Youwei led the government soldiers Cao Shenjun, the dignified military officer of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the two manors of Waguo and Baekje.And there were still bustling crowds around him, and Fang Xiangsi in front of him was still so dilapidated, as if nothing had changed, and everything that happened to him was just a dream, and when he woke up, he was still that poor and evil boy in Chang'an.

"Brother Li, please come this way!" As soon as Li Bo entered the door, An Wuniang greeted her. Compared to a few years ago, she was much older, and her face with only one eye was already full of wrinkles. , the hair is more white than black, but she is in good spirits. She welcomed Li Bo into the room graciously, and poured a glass of water and wine: "You came early, and that guy will arrive later!"

"It's okay, just let him in when people arrive!" Li Bo sat down, the familiar noise and air let his nerves relax suddenly: "After so many years away from Chang'an, I still miss your sheep blood sausage and mixed meatballs , if there are any, bring some up first!"

"Yes, yes! I didn't expect that you are a big shot now, and you still remember the stuff from the villain!" An excited expression appeared on An Wuniang's face.

"What a big man!" Li Bo smiled: "They are all murderers working for the master, they have gone all the way, and they still miss the food in Chang'an!"

"That's it, that's it!" An Wuniang laughed proudly: "Why don't you say that this is the imperial capital! Wait a moment, and I'll serve it to you right away!" After finishing speaking, she turned her round body and went to It's outside.

"An Wuniang is still the same, just older and fatter!" Li Bo took a sip of wine and said to himself, he was sent by Wang Wenzuo, so he immediately found Fang Xiangsi, he knew this winery Fish and snakes are mixed here, there are all kinds of people, if you want to inquire about news, it is the most convenient.Moreover, An Wuniang also got a little benefit from Wang Wenzuo during the Chang'an chaos, and she will do her best to do things.Sure enough, after Li Bo confessed, he responded within two days, saying that they would meet in this square.

Li Bo was thinking about the past when the door curtain was lifted, and An Wuniang came in, followed by a short, red-nosed man. An Wuniang sang to Li Bo: "This is Chen Qi. brothers!"

"Chen Qi?" Li Bo felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered: "Didn't you look at the grave before? Why did you go to the Wannian County Government Office?"

"Brother Li has such a good memory!" Chen Qi smiled and gave a thumbs up: "It is true that the villain used to look after the grave, but there was an uncle who was a servant in the Wannian County Government. He had no heirs, so he took me as a servant." Youzi, a few years ago when I got older, I let the villain take over the job! The villain has been working in the Wannian County Government for three years!"

"I see, this is a good thing, at least it's better than looking at the grave!" Li Bo laughed and said, "Wu Niang, we haven't served the food yet. Come, Seventh Brother, sit down and talk!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Chen Qi said a few words humbly, and just sat down opposite Li Bo. At this time, An Wuniang had already delivered the food and wine. Li Bo picked up his chopsticks and paused: "I ran a lot outside today. After half a day, I didn't eat anything, I was already hungry, we are also acquaintances, so you are welcome, let's talk about things after we are full!"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Qi responded, but didn't dare to put down his chopsticks. Seeing that Li Bo really ate and drank as much as he said, he started eating.An Wuniang chose from outside and sent seven or eight dishes in. Although Chen Qi worked as a servant in the county government, how could he eat this kind of food on weekdays? The more he ate, the more excited he became. A three-pointer faster than Li Bo.

"Comfortable, comfortable!" Li Bo put down his chopsticks, patted his bulging belly, and said with a smile: "After traveling all over the southeast and northwest, the food in Chang'an is still delicious. Can Brother Qi still eat well?"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Qi hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped the oil stains from his mouth, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Li has something to send, so the villain came here in a hurry, but I didn't know what it was, so I asked for instructions." Down!"

"Don't talk about this first!" Li Bo waved his hand: "Brother Seven, I remember that you got along well with An Wuniang back then, but now you are considered half of the official family, why don't you live together!"

Chen Qi didn't expect Li Bo to ask this question, and bitterness appeared on his face: "Brother Li doesn't know something, it's true that An Wuniang and I also have some interests, but although I went to the county government, my salary is meager. It's not easy to make a living at home, and there is no real estate shop in the family, anyway, An Wuniang also has a restaurant, and there is living money every day. If you don't have money, how can you do good things?"

"That's true!" Li Bo nodded, but didn't ask any more questions, just smiled: "The magistrate of Wannian County, Zhou Xing, how much do you know about this person?"

Chen Qilai had heard some rumors from An Wuniang before, and with some mental preparations, he carefully replied: "This person is originally from Chang'an. Although his family background is good, his family background is not good. He has been studying hard since he was a child." , is very proficient in the law, after becoming an official, his reputation in Heyang County was not very good, he was dismissed from office, and finally became the magistrate of Wannian County again!"

"Wannian County is a big county, and it's under the foot of the emperor. Is it considered a promotion from Heyang County to Wannian County?" Li Bo asked, "How could he be promoted so easily after being dismissed?"

"Brother Li, you don't know!" Chen Qi said with a smile: "On the surface, this is a promotion, but officials below the capital are not easy to be, so like the county magistrates of Wannian County and Chang'an County, although they are big County, but the officials who are waiting for election are not willing to come, Zhou Xing has been a county magistrate for ten thousand years, in fact, he can only be regarded as a mediocre transfer, not a promotion!"
