A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 368

Coming out of the East Palace, Huaiyu took a lot of rice paper, jute paper, brushes, inkstones and many paints.

I went back to Yongxingfang first, but I didn't go home last night, so I must explain to Fan Xuanfu.

As soon as he got home, Wu Cheng came to report that Uncle Guo had come.

Changsun Wuji now only has Kaifuyi from the first rank and a casual official from the third division. He has no other duties, so he is relatively relaxed.

"Duke Zhao!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was drinking tea in the front hall, and the housewife Fan Xuanfu arranged for the family music group to play for him.Seeing Huaiyu come back, Changsun Wuji laughed and came up with a bear hug.

This uncle of the country seems to be a little fatter again, with white and fat braided hair and a white bear fur robe, he really looks like a bear.

This guy has been a little bit troubled recently, because of his grandson Anye, a rebellious minister and traitor brother, he and the queen were also implicated, and his right servant was exempted before he had served for a full year. Now, in order to avoid the limelight, all his duties are waived.

I feel aggrieved.

"Your Majesty sent someone to tell me that Erlang should be invited to make portraits of the meritorious officials. I happen to be free, so I hurried to make an appointment."

Changsun Wuji is second on the list of meritorious officials.

In fact, Wu Huaiyu was also very proud of Changsun Wuji before, and had already painted a picture for him. Changsun Wuji was also very satisfied, and hung it at home like a treasure.

But now I have to copy it again.

Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to agree.

"How about painting now?"

"Now? That's fine."

Changsun Wuji was quite happy, this guy also came prepared, several sets of hats and hats were prepared on the carriage, there were crown robes, some were crowned with virtue and some were crowned with honor.

"Why don't you wear the Diao Chan Crown?"

Wu Huaiyu didn't care.

Changsun Wuji immediately asked someone to fetch the Diao Chan crown, the so-called Diao Chan crown is also a kind of Jinxian crown, and its characteristic is that there are sables and cicadas on the crown.

The barrel-shaped hat is covered with an arched shell with three beams.

There is a large jade cicada in the middle of the forehead of the arched outer pot, three small golden cicadas are sewn on each side, and a long mink tail is inserted horizontally behind the head. There is even a pen on the top of the hat. There are also patterns.

This is the Diaochan Jinxian crown, which is usually only worn by officials who live in the first rank, or who are extremely prime ministers.

Anyway, Wu Huaiyu can only wear the Sanliang Jinxian crown now, or the Jinde crown bestowed by the emperor, and is not qualified to wear the Diaochan Jinxian crown.

Wearing the Diaochan Jinxian crown, paired with the upper heart song collar, and the purple robe and jade belt goldfish bag, is really cool.

However, Wu Huaiyu always felt that wearing a sable tail on the hat and inserting a pen, always felt a bit weird. It is said that the sable tail was invented by King Zhao Wuling. The one in the palace.

He felt that the sable tail might have just imitated the Hu people, but since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has become a special decoration for ministers.

Just like the fish charms and fish bags of the ministers.

The eldest grandson, the fat man, changed his clothes and put on a very pretending posture. Huaiyu picked up a brush and drew. Painting is a skill that Huaiyu has learned since he was a child. It is not difficult, and he can chat while painting.

Changsun Wuji came to see Huaiyu today. Apart from making an appointment for a portrait, he was actually free. He took the opportunity to find Wu Huaiyu, a popular fried chicken, to flirt with him. By the way, he wanted to prescribe a side medicine. He has suffered from insomnia recently.

He couldn't sleep all night and lost his hair. Now there are many bald spots on his head. If this continues, he will not be able to comb his braids.

"Recently, I always feel powerless." Fatty Changsun said a little embarrassedly. He is only two years older than the emperor, and he is only 32 this year, but recently he has been unable to do what he wants.

There are so many concubines in the mansion, young and beautiful, but powerless, not to mention the pressure.

Huaiyu looked at his chubby bear-like physique. He had prescribed kidney-deficiency nourishing medicine before, lacked exercise, and preferred milk and meat in his diet. In addition, he may have been under too much pressure recently, so it's normal to be in a bad state.

"There's another thing that happened recently, it's embarrassing to say,"

Changsun Wuji sighed, he was so unlucky that his teeth would get stuck in cold water.

The emperor previously gave Changsun Wuji a belt of seven treasures, which was worth thousands of gold.As a result, recently in the middle of the night, a thief jumped into his bedroom from the rafters of the house, drew a knife to his throat, and threatened him to die if he committed suicide. Go up the beam and escape between the rafter holes.

It's a shame to say this, but the guards of Zhao Guogong's mansion didn't notice it at that time.

After thinking about it, I was afraid. If the robber had murderous intentions at that time, he would have stabbed him to death without a chance to resist.

"Is there such a thing? This thief is too bold."

Wu Huaiyu was also surprised when he heard this.

After that day, Changsun Wuji completely suffered from insomnia at night, and also began to feel powerless.He is afraid and angry now, and he dare not speak out.

Because spreading the word will not only lose face, but more importantly, the Seven Treasure Belt bestowed by the emperor was robbed by someone, which was bestowed by the emperor.

Being robbed now is no small crime.

Changsun Wuji said this to Wu Huaiyu today because he is the emperor's brother-in-law, and he knows Wu Huaiyu's other secret identity, the doctor of the six doors, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment and the governor of Yongzhou.

He hoped that Wu Huaiyu could help him recover the Qibao belt.

"Does Zhao Guogong know who the thief is?"

"I suspect it's Master Duan."

"Master Duan?"

"This man is a gangster. He once worshiped under Chai Shao's younger brother. He is good at flying over eaves and walls,"

Chai Shao is very skilled in martial arts. He used to be a famous young man in Chang'an. Chai Shao also has a younger brother who is best at lightness kung fu.

At the beginning, Li Shimin bet with Chai Erlang to steal the saddle from Changsun Wuji's house, and then specially notified Changsun Wuji in advance to take precautions, but at night, Chai Erlang flew into Changsun Wuji's mansion like a big bird, When everyone was caught off guard, the knife cut the saddle and then jumped and disappeared.

There are a lot of guards in Changsun Wuji's mansion, but they didn't even touch a hair.

Later, Chai Erlang went to the princess's bedroom to steal the engraved golden letter pillow. After sneaking in, he sprinkled some dust on the princess's face. The princess raised her head and dusted the dust. So she ran away, and the princess found out that the pillow had been stolen in the morning.

Chai Erlang was even able to run directly up to the top of Chang'an City from the ground without using his hands. He could also step on the pillars of the Buddha Hall to climb up to the rafters of the roof after the run-up, and then turn over the roof, walking on the ground like walking on the ground on a [-]-foot-high building.

Because Bilong was so powerful, Li Shimin was a little afraid of him, and immediately transferred Chai Er to other places as an official after he ascended the throne.

This Duan Shizi used to follow Chai Erlang in Chang'an, he was regarded as a half-apprentice who brought art to his teacher, and he was also a crazy admirer of Pilong.

After Bilong went to other places, Duan Shizi began to imitate Chai Er crazily.

His behavior of going to Changsun Wuji's house to steal the Qibao belt in the pillow letter is obviously imitating Chai Er's stealing the princess pillow letter, and by the way, going to Changsun Wuji's house to steal the saddle.

Two-in-one, he directly stole the Seven Treasure Belt from Changsun Wuji's bedroom, but obviously his skills were not at home. When he sneaked into the bedroom, Changsun Wuji found out, so he had to draw a knife and grab it.

"Are you sure it's Master Duan?"

"determine."

Wu Huaiyu was surprised that since he knew the identity of the other party, why didn't he catch him?
"The teacher came and went without a trace. I can't find anyone. I know he must still be in Chang'an, but I can't find anyone. I want to ask Erlang to help take this person down. The most important thing is to find him. The belt of seven treasures bestowed by His Majesty."

Wu Huaiyu thought for a while, "Why don't you go directly to Chai Consort, ask him to come forward to find Chai Erlang, and then ask Master Duan to hand over the treasure belt?"

"I don't have a good relationship with Chai Shao," Changsun Wuji said.

He looks for Chai Shao, but Chai Shao may not pay attention to him, but Chai Er has a close relationship with Master Duan, so he will definitely cover it up.

Besides, Changsun Wuji felt very aggrieved, how could a dignified uncle let a jumping bandit threaten him with a knife, how could he swallow it?
He had to capture this person, not only to get back the Seven Treasure Belt, but also to tear this little thief into thousands of pieces, otherwise he couldn't swallow this breath.

His elder grandson Wuji couldn't do this with his own strength, but he didn't want to report to the officials, so he had to ask Wu Huaiyu's six sects to help.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back, and I will definitely get back the Seven Treasure Belt for Uncle Guo and capture this thief."

Wu Huaiyu is also very dissatisfied with people like Master Duan and this kind of behavior. You are a thief, why are you going to mess with Changsun Wuji? Isn't this lighting up the lights in the toilet to seek death?

Naturally, this provocative act of madness and death cannot be tolerated.

As the leader of the powerful department, he had to take this guy into action, just to stand up.

Besides, he doesn't have much affection for Chai Shao. He still remembers that guy's use of him as bait, and he still hasn't forgotten the face of that kid Chai Zhewei.

To find a gangster like Duan Shizi, it is actually not difficult for Six Doors to make a move, because Six Doors has a lot of hidden stakes in the capital's three religions, many bandits and beggars, etc. There is still a certain status in the rivers and lakes.

It is definitely not difficult to find it officially, but it is not difficult to find it from the road.

"I want to live." Changsun Wuji asked.

"no problem."

Wu Huaiyu will officially take office in Yongzhou Zhizhong in the next year. This kind of daring bandit must be cracked down, it is too rampant.

This kind of person didn't want to touch Changsun Wuji, but after he was captured, he was recruited to come over and become an eagle dog in the six doors.

"In Chongxian Hall today, thank you Erlang for helping Chengqian."

As the prince's uncle, Changsun Wuji was very grateful for Huaiyu's actions.

"Now I am the owner of the Chongxian Pavilion and the prince's horse washing, and also the prince's right guard. I am an official of the East Palace, and I must also protect the prince."

Although Chengqian failed to secure the crown prince in history, but now Chengqian is only ten years old, even if he was finally abolished as in history, it was also in the 16th year of Zhenguan, which is still 15 years from now.

As an official of the East Palace, Wu Huaiyu would be seriously dereliction of duty if he did nothing.

What should be done has to be done, so that even if the prince is still deposed in the future, at least Wu Huaiyu is still a good courtier in the eyes of the emperor.
