Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

Early the next morning, Xiao Wu came to Gai Gong's official office with a few followers.It was spring, and Gai Gong was still sitting under the big camphor tree as usual, shaking his head and reading.Xiao Wu hurriedly walked in front of him, and bowed respectfully.Gai Gong said with a smile, no courtesy, no courtesy, it turns out that an old friend is here. A few days ago, I heard the king say that you are different now.There are two sets of car and Zhu, and two sets of waists hanging down. This is a big official of two thousand stones. How dare I accept such a big gift from you again.

Xiao Wudao, sir, don't be overly modest, no matter how big my official is, but I have the status of master and apprentice with my husband, this will never change. Gai Gong was a little excited, although he thought highly of himself and was unwilling to curry favor with the officials, but suddenly seeing a Erqianshi treat him so respectfully, he was still very happy.He laughed and said, "It's rare that Duke Ming still recognizes me as a master. In fact, Duke Ming has always had a good foundation of knowledge. Although he treats me with respect as a teacher, we really have a lot to inspire each other."

Mr. is too modest.Xiao Wudao, the minister only knows some legal provisions, and he is somewhat confident in this regard.As for Confucianism, it is far inferior to Mr.What's more, Mr. is also proficient in medical divination and even casting, he is really a genius in the world.By the way, I have something I need to ask for advice, so I immediately told the story of the snakes fighting in Handan of Zhao State. Gai Gong frowned and thought for a while, although the old man has learned divination, he has almost forgotten it when he is old.However, according to the old man's inference, there is really a lot of danger in it.Please refrain from talking.

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Xiao Wu knew that some topics were sensitive and it was inconvenient to spread them to outsiders.In the Han Dynasty, officials were not allowed to comment on some disasters and disturbances, especially when they involved the court, and they might be impeached by the chief officials as accusations of public opinion and disrespect.So with a wave of your hand, you go to patrol the guards outside the door, and Gai Gong and I have something to talk about. The entourage filed out.Gai Gong said in a low voice, the old man didn't know if his guess was right.It is said that Jiang Chong, the current favorite minister in the court, is from Handan, Zhao State.

Kobudo, yes. Well, that's right.Didn't Duke Ming read "Zuo Shi Zhuan"? Xiao Wu Dao, I am ashamed, "Zuo Shi Zhuan" is hidden in Shiqu Pavilion, and I grew up in a remote village, so I have no chance to see it. Gai Gongdao, it is recorded in "Zuo Shi Zhuan" that during the time of Duke Zhuang of Lu, there was a fight between the inner snake and the outer snake in the south gate of Zheng Guo, and the inner snake died.This is called snake evil, which is an ominous sign, indicating that there will be disasters in Zheng State in the future.Previously, Duke Li of Zheng and Xiangguo Jizhong colluded to expel his elder brother, Duke Zhao, and made himself the king on his behalf. Later, Duke Li was also forced to leave, and Duke Zhao was restored.After Zhaogong died, his younger brother Ziyi took his place.Duke Li colluded with the doctor Fu Xia again and asked him to kill Ziyi.This is the image of the outer snake fighting the inner snake.Six years after the death of Nei Snake, Li Gongli was born.I'm worried that what Duke Ming said about the snake fighting in Zhao State also indicates some kind of ominous situation.

Are you saying that Jiang Chong will kill the king and replace him?Xiao Wu said hesitantly, this is impossible. Gai Gongdao, Jiang Chong, and Li Er, a gangster in the alley of Zhao Guo, how can they steal high positions.But he might deceive the emperor and kill the eldest son. Xiao Wudao, um, sir's analysis is very reasonable. Jiang Chong offended the crown prince, and he was afraid that he would be punished in the future, so he would definitely rack his brains to think of a way to protect himself. Gai Gongdao, Duke Ming has been on the road for the past month, so he may not know much about the important affairs of the court.I heard that the Guangling Kingdom received the postal documents five days ago, and that the emperor has been in poor health recently. He listened to the slander of the Hudi wizards, thinking that ghosts and gods are haunting him. As long as he points to a certain place, he can immediately arrest the people nearby.In addition, according to the imperial guards from Chang'an, all the arrested people were tortured and plundered, and impeachment was regarded as treason.The prisons in Chang'an have arrested as many as ten thousand people within a few days, and countless people have been tortured to death before being sentenced.

There is such a thing, I really don't know.Although Xiao Wu Dao passed many county and country post houses along the road, he didn't ask specifically.The emperor is old and has poor health, so he is very sensitive. He always thinks that his illness is plotted by someone, but in fact it is just his age.As for witchcraft, I don't believe in it, especially for arresting good people for this reason, it is especially hateful.Ordinary people, who is the emperor, has nothing to do with them, whoever changes their own life will still live like that, why bother to curse the Lord?It must be known that if there is a breach of secrecy, the whole family will be exterminated. Who would take such a risk?

Gai Gong frowned and said, otherwise, according to the old man's analysis, Jiang Chong's arbitrary arrest of civilians is not his ultimate goal, the ultimate goal is the crown prince, but he dare not directly point the finger at the crown prince.The prince has been established for decades, and his roots are deep and luxuriant. He is not so easy to shake. The only one who can decide his fate is the emperor. If Jiang Chong wants to gain the trust of the emperor, he can only falsely say that there are witches in the entire Chang'an city, so that the emperor gradually agrees in his heart. In his way, he was convinced that someone was framing him, so he would disregard the relationship between father and son under the accumulated anger and kill the killer.If he pointed at the prince without any foreshadowing from the beginning, it would be too abrupt, and the emperor would suspect that he was avenging himself.

Xiao Wu Dao, sir's analysis is good, Jiang Chong arrests and governs the common people, if the target is ultimately aimed at the prince, then he can tell the emperor that the prince has always been hypocritical, and the people hope that he will ascend to the throne to replace the emperor as soon as possible, so every family makes a paulownia man to curse emperor.You can also spread rumors that the reason why the people cursed the emperor was that the crown prince secretly sent someone to instigate him.If the emperor is furious, he will kill the prince, and Jiang Chong's plot will succeed.

Yes, Gai Gongdao, it is said that the emperor wants to go to war against the Xiongnu again, and the people have always been afraid of war. Jiang Chong can add fuel to this as one of the reasons why the people cursed the emperor, saying that the people are looking forward to a sudden collapse so that the benevolent prince can ascend the throne. Xiao Wu thought to himself, the emperor has a great fear of death, and has always hoped to live forever and become a fairy.Yu Yu for more than forty years, it is too ambiguous in this respect, could it be that there are really immortals in this world.But these words can only linger in his stomach, and he dare not say it, even to the most trusted person.The emperor's punishment was harsh, and leather coins were issued in Yuanshou four years, and a thin buckskin was forced to be worth 400,000 yuan.At that time, Yan Yi, the great minister of agriculture, just twitched his mouth, and was accused by Ting Wei Zhang Tang, saying that Yan Yi, as a Jiuqing, felt that the law was not convenient for the people but refused to speak out to persuade him. Yan Yi was judged to be cut in half.From then on, the imperial court had the "law of defamation", and the courtiers became more trembling and did not dare to persuade them.Thinking of this, he sighed, this matter is too dangerous, according to Gai Gong's speculation, Jiang Chong's plot must succeed?

Gai is fair, according to speculation, it should be so.The last time Ming Gong was in Chang'an, he should have met Jiang Chong. What kind of person is he? Xiao Wudao, Jiang Chong was very handsome and dignified. The emperor praised him as "a strange man in Yanzhao Guduo", which was indeed not a lie.I just didn't expect him to be so treacherous.I think he is the kind of person who wants to bite anyone he sees, and his mood is twisted.This time the emperor worshiped me as the prefect of Yuzhang, and he expressed his dissatisfaction at the court. Well, to be fair, treacherous people often appear to be honest.Now he is full of arrogance, Minggong must not offend him for the sake of his own wealth and life.If the Crown Prince really cannot be preserved, Duke Ming had better wait and see what happens.A lot of things are probably really God's will. Xiao Wu thought to himself, Jiang Chong wants to get rid of the crown prince, not only has nothing to do with me, but it is quite helpful.I'm afraid the crown prince also hates me to the bone. If he doesn't fall, I won't end well either.Although the world may be in turmoil if a prince who has been established for decades is abolished like this, but what harm will it do to me.From any point of view, I did not offend Jiang Chong. The reason why he objected to my appointment as the prefect of Yuzhang was just a little bit of jealousy.However, he colluded with Liu Quyu and Li Guangli to support the king of Changyi. At that time, Liu Quyu and Li Guangli would definitely control the government. These two people are not very intelligent and greedy.It is not a good thing for them to rule the world.It may be difficult to be a good official under them.Thinking of this, a terrible year suddenly filled my heart, why don't I simply report the rebellion of the king of Changyi and let them all die.Then support the King of Guangling, although the King of Guangling is also an idiot, but if you support him, you will definitely be able to become a marquis and a minister in the future, so why not worry about your ambitions.Oh my god, such terrible thoughts will always come up, and if they leak out, it won't be too late for Xiaoshou Mausoleum.Xiao Wu felt a burst of cold sweat on his back. Gai Gong saw that Xiao Wu's face was pale, and there were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, he asked in surprise, is Mr. Ming in good health?The old man is quite knowledgeable in medicine, so you might as well let me have a diagnosis and treatment.As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take Xiao Wu's pulse. Xiao Wu came to his senses, no, it was just that Jiang Chong was so arrogant, the world might be turbulent, and the people in Qianshou would be displaced, so he felt a little lost.Alas, my great Han Dynasty is not lost to the Xiongnu, must it be destroyed by civil strife? Gai Gongdao, Ming Gong never forgets the safety of the people in the world, which is really admirable to the old man.However, Duke Ming's strength is weak, and there are some things that can't be helped.The emperor trusted them too much. Xiao Wu bowed his head in silence for a while, then suddenly said, there is a way, maybe we can get rid of Jiang Chong and his gang.I don't know if I say it, will my husband support me? What method, Minggong might as well just say it.For justice, as long as it benefits the common people in the world, the old man will never turn back.Even if you can't, at least you can be a Xiong Yiliao. Xiao Wu smiled knowingly, he knew what Ge Gong meant.Xiong Yiliao was a native of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, with extraordinary courage.At that time, Bai Gongsheng of Chu State wanted to kill Ling Yin Zixi, and he wanted to find some capable helpers, because the king of Chu and Ling Yin's guards usually had five hundred people on the left and right.His retainer Shi Qi recommended: "There is a man named Xiong Yiliao in the south of the city. With his help, one person can resist 500 people. Add me to resist 500 people, and it is almost the same." Bai Gongsheng was overjoyed. , took gifts to visit Xiong Yiliao, and told him that he wanted to kill Ling Yin and rob King Chu Hui.Xiong Yiliao refused to refuse, but the statement would not disclose this matter.Shi Qi is also a well-known strongman in Chu State. He drew his sword against Xiong Yiliao's throat, but he didn't move.Bai Gongsheng admired him very much, and said to Shi Qi: "This man is not surprised at all. He is definitely not the kind of person who would tell other people's secrets in order to get rich. Let him go." .That being the case, I will not hide it from you sir, on the way to Guangling last time, we captured a fake embroidered censor whose real name is Zhang Chong.After our plundering, it has been concluded that he was sent by the king of Changyi, who wanted to kill the prefect in Yuzhang County and blame the king of Guangling.If we send him to Chang'an in a car, the emperor will be furious when he learns that the king of Changyi has a different heart, and will kill him.In this way, both Li Guangli and Liu Quyu will be implicated, and Jiang Chong will naturally be unable to escape. Gai Gongdao, this is a good way, get rid of Jiang Chong, the crown prince will be safe and sound.But..., when he said this, he hesitated to speak. Xiao Wudao, sir, don't meet outsiders, just speak up if you have something to say. Gai Gongdao, please forgive me for talking too much, I know that Ming Gong made his fortune by denouncing Gongsun He, and Gongsun He and the crown prince are relatives.I think the Crown Prince must hate Duke Ming deeply.Getting rid of Jiang Chong is naturally beneficial to the common people in the world, but it is not good for Minggong himself.Why don't Duke Ming bear with it for the time being, and watch from the sidelines, and wait until they both lose in the fight, and then come to clean up the mess. Xiao Wu felt a little sad in his heart, and the words "relying on Gongsun He to make a fortune" deeply hurt him.It is true that I made my fortune by denouncing him, but with my own ability, am I not qualified to be a county magistrate?You think I like to make a fortune by reporting on others, why don't I want to be promoted by hard work, but I have no choice.However, although Gai Gong's words were stinging, his concern was still obvious.So he smiled awkwardly, since my husband thinks this is good, then I will wait for a while, and if Jiang Chong and his gang gain more power by then, I will report the adultery of King Changyi.In short, the artifacts of the Great Han Ancestral Temple cannot fall into the hands of Li Guangli, Liu Quyu and his group.Speaking of this, he originally wanted to say that we will simply support King Guangling at that time, but when he thought that King Guangling really lacks the appearance of a king, he was afraid that Duke Gai would not take it seriously, so he swallowed the words back.Let's talk about it then.he thought. Gai Gongdao, what Duke Ming said is very true, by the way, Guo Pohu has been talking about it since Duke Ming came here.It happened to be his turn to take a rest today, and I already asked someone to call him. Xiao Wu said excitedly, I really want to see him, especially to give him unexpected good news.By the way, I have taken a few attendants in Pengcheng this time, it's interesting to say that they are all the family guests of Gongsun He's mansion.One of them is Ruhou, who used to be a captain of Shesheng, and his archery skills are excellent. My husband has always studied crossbow arrows, so I can discuss with him. When Duke Gai heard the name Ruhou, his expression changed, he was stunned for a long while, and then suddenly burst into tears, is that what Duke Ming was talking about, General Ru, who shocked the six counties in West Longxi?cover justice. Exactly.Xiao Wu asked strangely, why is Mr. so excited? Could it be that he knows him well? Gai Gong wiped his old tears with his sleeves, and sighed, how could he not know each other? He and I are both from Shanfu County, Donghai County. Twenty years ago, we used to learn the same art.He has extraordinary physical strength and can pull a strong bow of three stones.It happened that the old man also liked to be competitive at that time, but it was a pity that he didn't have his arm strength.Later, he simply thought about crossbow skills day and night. At that time, all he wanted was to surpass him. No matter how powerful his arms were, he could not compare with mechanical strength. That's natural, small martial arts, the arm of the crossbow can withstand the pulling force of forty stones, how can a human arm dare to expect it.However, although the crossbow arm is strong, it is not as flexible and fast as pulling a bow with the arm. Gai Gongdao, it is indeed the case, due to the old man's usual temper, he must make the crossbow more flexible than he draws it.So after pondering day and night, I finally made a continuous shooting crossbow, which can shoot three crossbow arrows at a time.In this way, he can almost rival him by cutting off the long and making up for the short. Xiao Wu praised, Mr. is super intelligent, really extraordinary. Where and where, Mr. Ming won the award, and because of my desire to win, I made a big mistake.That day in autumn shooting in the countryside, we each fired twelve arrows, all of which hit Zhibei, and we couldn't tell which one was superior.Seeing that my crossbow arrows are miraculous, my junior brother was dissatisfied and called me to shoot at me. Although I pulled out the arrow this time and was wearing leather armor, but due to the power of my crossbow machine, within a hundred steps, the arrow shaft will still be broken. He shot down.I was ashamed and frightened, so I went far away and hid in Guangling County. Du didn't go out. Later, I heard that he recovered from his injuries and joined the army in the northwest. Xiao Wu secretly smiled, this pair of brothers and sisters really have a lot of character.It seems that although General Naru acts generously, when it comes to fighting for small victories, he doesn't give in at all.That day on Peng Zu Tower, he fired arrows twice to show his martial arts.The last time he agreed to my persuasion to surrender, he still wanted to shoot an arrow, showing that he surrendered not because he was afraid of my officials, but because he succumbed to human morality and genuine temperament.So he laughed and said, no wonder, I have been wondering on the way, the emperor has already issued an edict, the knights who came to the frontier are all selected from the border counties of Longxi, and General Ruhou is from Shandong alone.It turned out to be Mr. Shidi.This time it was really arranged by God to let the master and the brothers meet.If the general please hurry up, all of you can come in. There was a promise from outside the door, and then a group of people rushed in, Tan Chongguo, Guan Caizhi and Ruhou were all inside.Xiao Wu laughed and said, General, I didn't expect Guangling to have your old friend. Ru Hou changed into a robe and looked at Gai Gong, his face immediately changed, Senior Brother, it was you, he blurted out.Gai Gong rushed over earlier, prostrated himself on the ground, he was ashamed, his senior brother shot you at that time, so he ran away in a panic, he didn't dare to take responsibility for the crime, he is really ashamed of being a husband. Ru Hou also quickly knelt down and helped Gai Gong up, senior brother, it really is you.Alas, why did you blame you, senior brother, for that matter.It's still my youthful heart, insisting on trying to compare myself with my senior brother, I'm overthinking myself, what's wrong with my senior brother.That said, I'm really ashamed. Xiao Wu sees that they are constantly taking responsibility for themselves. Although he admires their gentlemanly demeanor, he is also a little impatient. Don't blame yourself. Give me a face and put aside the past. Why don't you just put it here? After the banquet, everyone drank a few glasses to celebrate the meeting. Some waiters have already gone out to handle the banquet.Guo Pohuqia also ran in at this time, although he was a rough man, he had stayed in the army and the palace for a while, and he knew the etiquette well.He knelt down in front of Xiao Wu and said, "Pu Hu failed to meet the envoy, and he was sentenced to death."May you be safe and sound. Xiao Wu said happily, get up, I have a person for you to meet today.At this time, Tan Chongguo had already sent someone to call Guo Qinu.Guo Pohu rubbed his head, greatly surprised, and said happily, it turned out to be my younger sister—why did you meet Lord Shijun. Guo Qinu recounted the situation that day, but skipped the part where he and Xiao Wu were having fun on the couch in the posthouse.Xiao Wudao, now that your sister is by my side, are you willing to follow me to Yuzhang?Or I will keep your sister and give it back to you, brother. Guo Pohu opened his mouth and didn't speak yet, Guo Qinu blushed and rushed to ask, what's the concubine doing here, I'm not familiar with the place.Moreover, the status of the concubine has been bestowed to the lord by the king of Chu, so naturally he will serve the lord for the rest of his life.My lord is a clean and honest official, and my concubine admires him very much. If my lord left me in Guangling, I would never meet such a good master as my lord. Guo broke the nonsense, my sister is right, I have long hoped that Master Shijun will marry Lord Weng, and the clothes will be returned.Then I will serve with you and travel around the world with your lord. Guo Qinu heard her brother say "I married the Lord Weng", she seemed to be a bit disappointed, but recovered quickly, and said in a low voice, brother is right, my brother and sister are willing to serve the envoy for the rest of our lives. Xiao Wu was very happy, Guo Pohu is a warrior, let him be with him at any time, his own safety will be much safer.As for the matter with the abandoned slave, although I am afraid that Lidu will know about it, but Yiqinu's identity and character will not talk nonsense, and when she and Lidu are together for a long time in the future, there will be no suspicion on both sides, even if she knows, it is probably nothing big problem.He smiled and said, okay, I will now appoint you as the history of Baishi in Yuzhang County. If you do well, you can be promoted to the county Weicheng.Wait until the prefect of Yuzhang is in charge, and then issue documents and formally appoint. Guo Pohu said happily, thank you, my lord.I didn't expect that my family, the head of Guizhou for generations, was also fortunate enough to have a history of hundreds of soldiers, which is enough to glorify the lintel, so how dare we count on the county Weicheng. Xiao Wu said solemnly, don't belittle yourself even if you are Po Hu, I think you are very capable.However, the history of Baishizu is a senior subordinate of the county, and he has to be assessed for grammar every year.You have served as a soldier in Yuzhang County for many years, so you should know a lot of characters, and you should be able to write family letters.Of course, it is not enough to be able to write family letters. The law stipulates that anyone who has recited more than 3,000 satirical characters must be an official.If I promote you in this way, it can be regarded as super-relocation.I hope you don't live up to my expectations. I will find you an official as your teacher when the time comes, so you can't be lazy. Guo Qinu said, the adults value my brother so much, even my concubine and my brother are devastated, there is no way to repay him. Guo Pohu also bowed and said, how can a villain not know the kindness of the envoy.Although he has no culture, he undoubtedly admires people like Xiao Wu who are familiar with laws and scriptures. Such a statement is indeed from the bottom of his heart and out of sincerity. Xiao Wu Dao, well, it is a great honor for everyone to gather here today.Although drinking in groups without an edict is inappropriate, but today's situation is special, Gai Gong and General Ru are more than 20 years apart, so they have the chance to meet in a foreign land, which is already a miracle.What's more, there was a reunion of Pohu's brother and sister, and today is still Pohu Xiumu's day. According to my family, it is justifiable to entertain the princes in the name of Pohu.After taking a bath every five days, the brothers and wives gathered together, and the Yan language was a joy, and the elders in the neighborhood were invited to laugh for joy.This is an ancient ritual, and it is also the rule that my big man follows.When Cao Xiangguo was in power that day, all the holidays were taken from the first day to the next day. Once, Zhang Fudu, a thief in the mansion, refused to take a break. Ru Hou interrupted and said, Mr. Shi Jun is really knowledgeable and strong-willed, not comparable to ordinary officials who only memorize laws and regulations, what he never forgets is how to cultivate the customs of my big man.Like an adult, who can be assisted by scriptures and decorate laws and regulations, he really looks like a public servant, and his future will never end up as a prefect of a county.By the way, I don't know what Cao Xiangguo scolded the thief Cao Jili? Ru Hou has always been reticent, Xiao Wu was a little surprised when he heard him praise himself seriously at first, and then secretly pleased.There is no ordinary person who doesn't like to hear compliments, and these words are especially precious when they come from Ruhou's mouth.Xiao Wu was very happy, and said with a smile, if the general has won the prize, how dare Wu be.When it comes to Confucianism, they all benefited a lot from brother Ling Gaigong.On that day, Cao Xiangguo accused Zhang Fudao: "Why is Mr. Zhang still in charge of Cao's affairs today? On this day, all the officials have to have a holiday. This custom has a long history. Although Cao Li has unfinished business, the Jun's family also counts on him. For your personal favor, I hope that you will go home and share the family happiness. You should go home immediately, set up food and drink, and have fun with your parents, wives and elders in the neighborhood. This is in accordance with the times and people." The words were very gentle, and they were scolding, but in fact Just mild reproach.That Zhang Fu originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by his boss instead, so he had to go home in shame. As Hou said, Cao Hou is indeed a generation of virtuous ministers.The minister is from Qi, and he has heard many anecdotes about Marquis Cao since he was a child. He was the first prime minister of Qi, and he was also the best and most popular. Gai Gongdao, yes, Cao Hou was born as a small Qin official, so he would not have much knowledge, but his words are not something ordinary people can say.Governance within the door, kindness cannot be concealed.Doing things for the court is based on righteousness; harmony with the family is based on kindness.But righteousness is based on grace.Although Cao Hou believed in Huang Lao's art, the truth he talked about coincided with Confucianism.It can be seen that Emperor Gao is able to conquer the Han Dynasty, such assistance is absolutely indispensable.Some literati who wag their tongues say that they are like flies flying thousands of miles away, which is simply flattering the Lord regardless of the facts. Hearing what Gai Gong said, Xiao Wu laughed inwardly. Although this Gai Gong is knowledgeable, he really should only hide in a remote county and read his short books with all his heart.If he is also so wild and unrestrained in the temple, he is afraid that he will be impeached by the censor at any time, and the gray head will be cut off.Literati and historians may not be ignorant of the roles played by Xiao He, Cao Can, and Han Xin in conquering the world, but besides praising Liu Bang as a god, and belittling those heroes, what else can be done?Otherwise, doesn't it imply that each of these ministers has the ability and qualifications to seize the world?How can the world be governed if everyone thinks they are talented and covets divine weapons?Back then, even though Han Xin claimed to be talented, he could only flatter Emperor Gao. His success as an emperor was a gift from heaven, not manpower.Xiao Wu saw that the waiter at the banquet had already set up a banquet in the courtyard, so he changed the topic, and the gentlemen went to the table.Today, when we rest and take a bath, we will follow the example of Cao Hou, not talking about business affairs, but only talking about the joy of life. Gai Gong said with a smile, if it is said that Xiu Mu returns home to enjoy family happiness, Ming Gong should come with Weng Lord.But for a period of time before getting married, you should avoid suspicion, right?Lido's personality has indeed changed quite a bit. During the few months that Duke Ming went to Chang'an, according to the servant, she often sat on the Lingbo Terrace in a daze. Hearing them mention Lido, Xiao Wu always felt his heart beating faster and a little dizzy when he was happy.Lingbo Terrace was the place where they made oaths, Lidu sat there in a daze, naturally she missed him, he said with a smile on his face, since sir is so eager to drink wedding wine, please ask him to choose an auspicious day for me. To be fair, to choose an auspicious day, you have to ask the Congchen family or the Jianqi family to help you. The old man has never believed in these things.According to the old man, as long as it is not a poor day like Guihai, there is nothing wrong with it. Xiao Wudao, too, I also want to finish these things as soon as possible.The emperor specially gave me a vacation to welcome my relatives, and I can't delay it for too long, it's better to rush to Yuzhang as soon as possible to take up the post.As he said this, he thought of his parents in Yuzhang County. He didn't know what they were doing. Maybe they were watering the garden, or maybe they were resting on the roof. Do you want to return the clothes in a beautiful way?He can imagine the excitement of his parents when they saw him in a tall car and four horses. Unfortunately, the only younger brother has died, so I can't let me show him how to do his duty and love his hometown.I can't help feeling mixed feelings. In the fifth month of summer in the twenty-fifth year of King Guangling, that is, in the second year of Zhenghe in the Han Dynasty, Shen Wu, the prefect of Yuzhang County and the emissary of embroidered clothes, held a wedding ceremony for Lord Shangcheng at the Guangling Palace in Guangling County. . It was dusk, and the three carriages drove to the Xianyang Hall of the palace.The hoods are all black Ziping carts, and the attendants of the two carriages in front got off, each holding candles.A carriage stopped at the back, Xiao Wu was wearing black dark clothes, dismounted, the attendants of the palace greeted the bride, Xiao Wu approached, handed over the chariot to the bride, and the bride led her into the chariot.Xiao Wu sat on the seat of the emperor, drove the carriage around the atrium in front of Xianyang Hall three times, and then drove to Qingyue Hall, which was the new house temporarily arranged by King Guangling for Xiao Wu.Since the wedding was held in the palace, the bride's family didn't deliberately put on a weeping and weeping parting atmosphere. The whole palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of festive atmosphere.Numerous guests are feasting and carnivaling in the Xianyang Hall, ordinary people's homes do not extinguish candles for three nights, let alone princes and princes? When the guests were cheering and drinking in the Xianyang Hall, Xiao Wu was already sitting in the new room with her new wife.In the room, the green cloth curtains were hanging down, and the silver horns stood tall. According to the rules, they themselves had to perform the wedding ceremony.After the drinking ceremony, the attendants withdrew. Xiao Wu looked at his newly married wife in front of him, although he had tasted it when he fled in Fat Niu Pavilion, seeing her intoxicating beauty under the candlelight tonight, his heart was still fluttering and he couldn't stop, feeling that he would never get tired of seeing her for the rest of his life.Liu Lidu seemed to be no longer the person she used to be. Her eyes were flowing under her long eyelashes, but she didn't look directly at her.Walking and stopping are shy and peaceful, and the soft and charming attitude is all contained in it.Xiao Wu said with a smile, although it is said that a new bride is bound to be reserved, the more reserved, the more in line with etiquette.However, I am still the Lord of the Guangling Kingdom, and my status is that of a son-in-law, so it is me who should be reserved.If the emperor conquers the Xiongnu and recruits the people to join the army, I will be relegated to the "Seven Divisions" within it.On the battlefield, there is always a narrow escape, are you worried or not? Liu Li burst out laughing, you are a fugitive official, you know how to joke and talk nonsense like this.You are now the majestic prefect of the county, what kind of son-in-law is you? If all the son-in-laws in the world are as arrogant as you, talking and laughing proudly, then the life of us big men will really change.Don't talk about "relegation from seven subjects", even "relegation from seventy subjects", it's not your turn. You have confidence in me, Xiao Wudao, we people are not as lucky as your clan.How cruel the laws of the Han family are, even the son of the prime minister must be guarded at the border. I don’t know how many people in Yuzhang County died in the Western Regions in vain. Liu Li leaned her head on Xiao Wu's chest, Brother Wu, don't be emotional.Such an auspicious day, let's not let it down.What's more, if you have something to do, how can I live alone? —Brother Wu, let me play a song for you.Speaking of which, Liu Li got up, twisted her waist and walked to Bao Se on the bedside, knelt and adjusted her posture, and pressed her fingers with both hands, making a series of clear sounds.Her lips also temporarily drew the cherry piercing, and sang in a low voice: Formed as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection. Rejoice in Jinxi, Yanwan and good time. Zhengfu embraces the road, starting to look at the night. Shenchen is gone, go and say goodbye. On the battlefield, there is no time to meet each other. Shake hands and sigh, cry for a living. Work hard to love Chunhua, and don't forget the happy time. Life should come back, death should be longing. At the end of the song, Xiao Wu was leaning against the head of the bed with a smile on his face. When he heard the word "Zhengfu", he couldn't help but sit up straight, and said, what happened today? You just blamed me for talking nonsense, but you got worse.Where did you learn this poem? It sounds so bleak, sparse and full of frontier air. Liu Li said, "Brother Wu counts your vision. I heard this from the veteran soldiers of Guangling Kingdom who retired from the frontier fortress. It is said that it is spread in the Western Regions."Back then when General Hussars led his soldiers across Mobei, all the soldiers sang this song, and a moment of sadness enveloped the entire army. Xiao Wu walked behind Liu Lidu, wrapped her arms around her soft waist from behind, and said with a smile, then I will learn from the ancients and chant in frontier winds, just take a few strategies.I'll just take the two sentences of "Entertainment is tonight, Yan Wan is in good time" and "Work hard to love Chunhua, and never forget the happy time". Liu Lidu turned her head, stared at her husband-in-law with wonderful eyes, and said, Brother Wu, I am very happy tonight, you don't know how much I hate this palace.It's worth dying to be with you even if I die immediately.Don't say anything about the Lord Weng, even though I am Lord Weng, you don't have to worry about my identity, I can serve you like an ordinary girl from a poor family.Look at how well I play the lute, I learned it from Zuo Ji. Although it is not as delicate as hers, but with food and wine at home, it will definitely satisfy my husband-in-law and increase his appetite. Xiao Wu kissed her clean and greasy face, and murmured, it looks like I want to enjoy the ostentation of being a doctor in ancient times.I remember that it was said in "Spring and Autumn" that when you go to the doctor to have a meal, you need to play music to accompany it.I don't know if my appetite will increase with you being around every day, but I think the desire between men and women will increase greatly.I don't want to eat anything but you.Well, I really don't want to worry about your identity as the Lord.As he spoke, he hugged Liu Lidu with both arms, and Liu Lidu was lying in her arms, blushing, and said, you are really wordy now, you usually talk about laws and regulations, but now you have changed to Jingyi .Xiao Wu said vaguely, "This shows that your husband-in-law has the potential to conceive gold and purple." He walked to the couch while talking, and the lights went out in an instant. The attendants showed strange expressions on their faces, they didn't know why there was such a desolate rustling sound from inside just now.Especially Xiaowu's family minister, Tan Chongguo, always felt that this was an ominous omen. Xiao Wu didn't stay in Guangling country for too long, and he was going to Yuzhang.During this period, he went to see Zhang Chong. Zhang Chong was entered into the studio of the palace by Liu Xu and became a hermit prisoner.Xiao Wu retreated from his followers and summoned Zhang Chong alone.Zhang Chong was very surprised when he saw Xiao Wu, and blurted out, Your Excellency has been promoted, but I still won't tell you the secret you want me to tell.Xiao Wu smiled and said, I don't want you to say anything today, I just came to see my old friend, don't come here without any problems.He knew that although Zhang Chong was not shrewd, he had more backbone, and now he was not forced to confide anything, so why not just pretend to condolences to him. Zhang Chong seemed a little grateful, it's rare that the adults still remember me, it's like a dream.Although he was stubborn, but he knew his identity, and it was unavoidable to be grateful that two thousand officials came to see him in person. Xiao Wudao, how could he not remember.Mr. is a man of great backbone, which is admirable.I'm going to take office in Yuzhang County, sir, do you want to go with me? Zhang Chong was startled, he couldn't believe his ears, what did your lord say? Xiao Wu Dao, I admire your character very much, would you like to work under the government? Zhang Chongdao, if your lord is willing to let the past go, why don't you want to.It's just that the minister is a prisoner, and the adults take him in. Aren't you afraid of others' comments? Xiao Wu knew that Zhang Chong was unwilling to report the king of Changyi for treason, and if the crown prince fell in the future, it would be too late to torture him hastily.This Zongzi seems to be the kind of person who prefers softness to toughness, why not accept him as a vassal, show him kindness, and then slowly talk to him, maybe he will gradually lose his gratitude to Feng Qianqiu, It is also unknown whether Ken assists him to achieve his goal. It is because I see you tough that I want you to be my subordinate.Xiao Wudao, I don't care about your past affairs.It doesn't matter what other people are talking about. My big man is quite different from the previous dynasty. Not only can torturers be prefects and subordinates, but it is rare for them to be two thousand stones or even three princes and nine ministers. Zhang Chongxi said, then the minister will definitely live up to Duke Ming.Hu Qian, the minister's entourage at the time, was a good friend of the minister's in Juye County. Please openly show your kindness and take him in together? Xiao Wudao, Mr. Wu dare not agree to this request.Come and report to the king, I want to ask the king to pardon the two prisoners.If there is a loss, I will compensate the king. Tan Chongguo hurriedly went out to spread the word, Liu Xu heard Xiao Wu's request, and rushed over immediately, and said with a smile, the son-in-law is too alien, these two prisoners were originally acquired by the son-in-law, if the son-in-law needs them, the widow will take them It's just a dowry for the little girl.The son-in-law still lacks manpower, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. Xiao Wu smiled and said, Your Majesty is so kind, and my minister Wu Ming is deeply moved.It’s a good story to say, in ancient times, many prisoners who were married as dowry were sages—he paused, looked at Liu Xu, and said something, don’t worry, your lord, these two prisoners will definitely help us a lot . Liu Xu said gratefully, everything is thanks to my son-in-law.They have been talking in secret for a long time these days, and they have approved of Xiao Wu's plan to wait for the time to change, and wait for the crown prince to fall before dealing with the King of Changyi.For a moment, he vaguely saw himself wearing a crown and performing the enthronement ceremony of the Han emperor, his face beaming with joy. Xiao Wu turned his face away in disgust, this stupid thing, he sighed secretly, doesn't look like a gentleman in any way.Fortunately, if he is lucky enough to ascend to the throne in the future, with my assistance, he won't be able to govern the world too badly.It would be best for him to die within a few years of ascending to the throne, and let the crown prince Liu Ba succeed him. Liu Ba is Lidu's biological younger brother, kind and intelligent.He became the emperor, and it was not in vain for me to risk my life and death to help him spy on the artifact.
