Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

If the king does not keep secret, he loses his country, and if the minister does not keep secret, he loses his body.It's a pity that such a wonderful plan turned into a farce because of a servant's leak, because of Wang Jun's notification, and because of Tang Cheng's pushing hands. The Fuyuan General's Mansion was very lively that day. Staged the most gorgeous orgasm.

Entangling Wanqi's military affairs with family affairs, and tying up the current matter with old grudges to settle accounts, when Mrs. Wang used this ultimate killer move, her opponent was doomed to be indisputable.

Family affairs are never clear.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang seemed to be a master of debate, exposing the old ones and scouring out the new ones. Every word she said in the past was like invisible slaps and slaps towards Wei Zhen and Wei Rui. Poor Wei Zhen and Wei Rui These two people who are quite prestigious in the Wei family have no power to fight back.

Argument, what is the argument?There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang's previous events. If you argue based on this, the result is doomed to be just like digging through a garbage dump. The harder you dig, the more stinky it will be. It's not others but yourself that stinks.What's more, for Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, even if they win the debate, they still lose. The uncle and nephew joined hands to bully the nephew and daughter-in-law. Once such words are heard, Er Wei will immediately become the laughing stock of the whole Chang'an.

Special identities, special genders, and special pasts and presents make Wei Zhen and Wei Rui helpless in the face of Mrs. Wang who is trampled on her sore feet and is fully fired.

Wei Zhen and Wei Rui were very angry, because they were completely ashamed this time; Mrs. Wang was very angry, because the two Wei family members whom she had treated well all these years actually encouraged her husband to kill her clansmen, she really had reason to feel that Angry; Wei Bo was very angry, not only angry at the chaotic situation in front of him that made him feel ashamed, but also angry at Wei Rui's small actions behind his back. It turned out that in the eyes of this brother he confided in his heart, he actually looked down on him; They were very angry, they were loyal to Wei Bo and respected Wei Zhen and Wei Rui on weekdays, but they didn't expect that it was these two people who urged the general to kill them.Being loyal but being falsely accused, being honest but being slandered, this is one of the greatest tragedies in life since Qu Yuan's "Li Sao".

In the end, with the help of Mrs. Wang's infinitely elegant heavy attack, Tang Cheng perfectly realized the purpose here. It goes without saying that the prestige of killing one's body is self-evident, and the breakup between Wei and Wei is a foregone conclusion.

After breaking with Wei Rui, Wei Bo is bound to rely more on himself, and nothing will change in the current Wanqijun. So far, although the curtain of the palace change has not yet officially opened, the climax of the palace change has not yet been staged , but for Tang Cheng, who has already participated in the scientific examination of the Ministry of Rites, his trip to Chang'an has basically ended.

After what happened in the Wei Mansion that day, Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, who were unwilling to let it go, fought back again. Three Weis had another debate in the Daming Palace in Longshouyuan. It is the difference in the way of commanding the Wanqi Army. This is a cliché. What is different from the past is that Wei Bo has shown unprecedented toughness this time. Tang Cheng said in the past and his personal feelings these days are all clearly laid out. Come out, there is evidence of the recent praise of Wanqi's military discipline improvement by hundreds of officials and people in the market. Rao Wei Rui and Wei Zhen couldn't gain any advantage even if they talked about it.

Unable to judge who is right and who is wrong, Empress Wei chose to appease each other, which is doomed to be a futile debate.The above is what Tang Cheng heard from Wei Bo, and another version that was not the same from Li Longji. It is said that in this debate among the three Weis, Wei Bo counted the Wei family's treatment of him over the years. Wei Rui's snubbing and Wei Rui's gossip and petty actions made him cry when he talked about his sadness.

When this issue has been placed in front of Queen Wei for the final decision, it is no longer just a battle of Wanqi's concept of commanding the army. For Wei Bo and Wei Rui, it is more like a question of who is more favored by Queen Wei. The touchstone, the result is not unexpected, Wei Bo won the final victory.

That day, after Wei Bo came back from the Daming Palace, he issued a military order to Tang Cheng in an unprecedentedly tough manner, starting immediately to monitor and investigate and completely eliminate Wei Rui's eyes and ears in the Wanqi Army. Regarding this, Tang Cheng obeyed the order awe-inspiringly .

Not long after this incident, that is, when the season entered March, the world-renowned Southern Suburb Heaven Worship Ceremony was held as scheduled. It was in this Heaven Worship Ceremony that Empress Wei, who was in full bloom, became the first in Chinese history. A queen who served as Yaxian.

But for Tang Cheng, what he really cared about in this ceremony was reviewing the habayashi after the ceremony. When the "Holy Emperor and Queen" stepped down from the altar, Tang Cheng's heart was in his throat.

But he was fortunate that under the combined effect of Wanqi's inherent pride and strict military warnings before his departure, the military appearance of the Wanqi army under review under the altar was strict and well-groomed, and he did not live up to the reputation of the emperor's personal guard; Tang Cheng's performance made Tang Cheng even more happy. Li Longji did not disappoint Tang Cheng this time. Under his instruction, those flying cavalry generals gathered by him did a good job of "letting Wei Rui make a fool of himself." " task.

After Tianzi and Empress Wei nodded frequently after reviewing Wanqi and arrived at the Flying Cavalry formation, in the spotlight of all officials, the Flying Cavalry led by Wei Rui was in a state of frequent disturbances, and the sergeant fainted and whispered... These things that happened in the cavalry formation were very small, so small that they could not even be pursued or could not be traced to the specific sergeant, but in this specific southern suburbs ceremony, such small problems were infinitely magnified, so, review Flying cavalry, which frequently occurs in small and medium-sized situations, has become the best footnote for Wanqi's military appearance.

The emperor, queen and all the officials would not care which sergeant made the mistake. They only knew and needed to know that Wan Qi was commanded by Wei Bo, and that Flying Cavalry was commanded by Wei Rui.In the eyes of everyone, the review in front of them is the best test of their ability to command troops.

Wei Bo wins.

For Tang Cheng, the planner of the review of the small and medium-sized tricks, what he wants is not to see Wei Rui deflated. Of course, he doesn't mind this effect. There is nothing wrong with everything, and thereafter unswervingly insist on going on.

It should be said that Tang Cheng's goal has been achieved very well after so much foreshadowing before and following the trend in the current review.

Not long after the review, the results of the Ministry of Rites examination in February were officially announced outside the Chengtian Gate at the junction of the Imperial City and Miyagi. In this examination, a total of 130 people were selected, including 23 candidates from Jinshi. , Tang Cheng, a Gongsheng from Dongdao Township in Shannan, was ranked No. 20 on the most-watched list of Jinshi subjects.

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty did not have a division of first-class and second-class for later generations. All the names of the candidates were arranged from front to back. The higher the name, the better the result in the scientific examination and the more officially recognized talent. Gao, from this background, Tang Chengcheng was selected as the No.2 from the bottom.

As soon as the gold list was opened, there was a lot of sadness, but also a carnival for a small number of people. The horses praised the street, the Yanta pagoda, the Xinglin Guanyan, the Qujiang drink, the selection of flower envoys to visit the famous gardens in central Beijing, etc., and so on. He enthusiastically threw himself into the carnival with many names that attracted the attention of the whole city. As one of the new Jinshi, Tang Cheng naturally participated in everything, but his ranking was too low, and he really didn't have any chance to make a big splash.

Regarding this, Tang Cheng laughed it off, considering his experience in two lifetimes and his current state of mind, these vanity and pomp are not so important anymore.

After the tumultuous tossing about the Jinshi, Tang Chengcheng began to arrange for Guan Qianyu and others to be placed in the Wanqi Army. Strict military law and spy rule are the key to firmly controlling the Wanqi Army in a short period of time. The most effective way, as for the consequences of doing so, is exactly what Tang Cheng needs rather than worrying about.

After busy arranging this matter, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he participated in the customs examination organized by the Ministry of Officials. Officer, this was the practice at that time. Tang Cheng went through the four passes of body test, speech, book and sentence one by one. The highest rank of new Jinshi in Tang Dynasty could only be eight ranks for the first time. Tang Cheng was no exception in this section. However, due to Wei Bo's involvement, Tang Cheng was not sent to the local county government to serve as the county magistrate or county lieutenant like many Jinshi of the same science. In the name of salary and monthly salary, Tang Cheng himself was still borrowed by the Wanqi Army.

The long-awaited imperial examination finally had a result, but Tang Cheng was not as excited as he had expected before coming to Chang'an. "Finally an official." Apart from sighing to himself, Tang Cheng has no dissatisfaction with the official position itself. Anyway, no matter what official position he is given in Beijing now, it is just a short-lived excess. , so why bother?

If you want to talk about the difference in Tang Cheng's life during this period of time, you have to mention that he has at least eight guards with him no matter where he goes, and there is no rule to follow when he sleeps at night, not to mention Xiaoyu and Shuang. Cheng, even Tang Cheng himself didn't know where he would rest that night after he woke up in the morning.

The reason why he changed residences so frequently was because he had suffered two assassinations in less than two months, and the current irregular life was the means to deal with the assassinations.

If you gain something, you are bound to give something. This world is very fair, and it doesn't treat Tang Cheng differently just because he is a time traveler.

The day after the first assassination, seven of Wei Rui's personal guards were ambushed by people in a back alley, five of whom died and two were seriously injured; after Tang Cheng was assassinated for the second time, Wei Rui placed him in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army that day. Ke Changming and his confidantes all died violently within two days. Compared with the assassination and game behind the scenes, the two brothers Wei Bo and Wei Rui were almost at odds with each other. Pressed down, although the bloody dark night assassination subsided temporarily, Tang Cheng no longer dared to sleep peacefully in one place, and even started to have nightmares every night when he slept.

Chang'an in April was very calm, and the storm of Gongbian officially brewed after this short period of calm, and then broke out into a major earthquake that shook the world in May and June.

The strong wind started at the end of Qingping. The first earthquake in the Tang Dynasty this year was caused by a little-known local official—Xuzhou Sima Yan Qinrong. Introduced: "The queen is promiscuous, interferes in state affairs, and the clan is strong; Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu, and Zong Chuke are trying to endanger the clan society." This situation sued Empress Wei, Princess Anle, her son-in-law, and the prime minister, and the crime was still for adultery in the harem. As for the serious crime of treason against the country, the emperor didn't care much about the rebellion, but what made him most uncomfortable was that even the local state officials knew about the scandal of the empress's fornication.

Fang Tianzi doesn't mind wearing a cuckold, but what he really minds is that he doesn't want others to know that he is wearing a cuckold, and it was proposed by a local official in the palace palace, so when he heard Yan Qinrong's words, he was really furious However, this Yan Qinrong is also a strong point. Faced with the emperor's stern interrogation, he still insisted on the plaintiff righteously, which made the emperor very reluctant to step down.

Even so, the emperor, who was weak by nature, upheld the ancestral precepts and did not kill the ministers, and waved Yan Qinrong silently.But what the emperor didn't expect was that just after Yan Qinrong came out of the hall, the cronies of Empress Wei rushed over upon hearing the news.

The courtiers he personally released were killed by the queen's cronies as soon as they left the palace. The emperor, who had been suffocated because of the green hat, couldn't bear it anymore. Expressed extraordinary anger.

At that time, Empress Wei was in an adulterous relationship with two new faces, Ma Qinke, a regular attendant on Sanqi, and Yang Jun, a young minister of Guanglu. The news that Zhongzong was furious because of Yan Qinrong came out. The two heads turned pale with fright, fearing that their affair with the queen would be revealed.

Taking this as the trigger, Ma Qinke, who is good at medicine, prepared ingredients and Yang Jun, who is good at cooking, cooked Fang Tianzi's favorite soup cakes. Finally, this bowl of soup cakes was personally presented to him by Princess Anle. Father Huang.

The emperor did not doubt that he took the soup cake and ate it, but soon after eating it, his stomach ached and his seven orifices bleed. Witnessed his wife and daughter with tears in their eyes, mourning and crying to death.

It's the day, the emperor suddenly collapsed!

After the sudden collapse of the emperor, Empress Wei blocked the news first, and issued an order in the name of the emperor to dispatch [-] local government soldiers to Beijing to stay in the guard; another confidant Pei Tan and Zhang Xi were sent to Luoyang to stabilize and control the situation in the eastern capital; In addition, five hundred soldiers were drawn from the flying cavalry to go to Junzhou to take care of Li Chongfu, the eldest of the two sons of the emperor; Into the political hall.

After the above arrangements were made properly, Wei Houfang officially announced that the emperor passed away due to illness, and according to the "edict of the emperor" drafted by Shangguan Wan'er himself, Li Chongfu, the eldest son of the emperor, who was 31 years old, and Li Chongfu, who was only 16 years old Li Chongmao became emperor and changed to Tanglong.And in this edict of the emperor, the most important sentence is that Empress Wei will come to the court with the honor of queen of heaven.

Throughout the whole process, Empress Wei's arrangements after Emperor Zhongzong's death are almost exactly the same as those of her mother-in-law Wu Zetian after Gaozong's death. Sima Zhaozhi's true thoughts are well known to everyone. Facing this series of deja vu arrangements, The well-informed Chang'an people have begun to guess how long Empress Wei can endure before abolishing Li Chongmao and becoming emperor herself.

It's a pity that the past insights of the common people in Chang'an did not play any role this time. Just a few days after Li Chongmao ascended the throne, another palace change was launched vigorously in one night.

The incident started with Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli of the Wanqi Army. Since Tang Cheng led the Wanqi Army's discipline supervision and implementation at the beginning of the year, all the Wanqi soldiers have not had a happy day, especially in the past month or so. The spies are densely spread, and the sergeants are easily blamed, and this guy even started to dismiss the sergeants from the army.

After the dismissal from the Wanqi Army, these sergeants can only be slaves again, and this has become the last straw that crushes the Wanqi soldiers. The spring is bound to rebound after being pressed to the limit, but because of There is no general to take the lead, and a single sergeant can only reluctantly endure due to many factors such as family members. It will be the courage of the soldiers. I couldn't bear it any longer, and almost didn't need Ge and Chen to do anything to mobilize, so they picked up guys one after another.

When the two ministries turned against each other, the rest of the ministries responded with a lot of people. Among them, three generals showed a little hesitation on their faces and were surrounded and killed by their soldiers on the spot.

As a result, the Wanqi Army was divided into two divisions. One was led by Ge Fushun to join Li Longji and Liu Youqiu in the Forbidden Garden, and directly entered the inner palace through the Forbidden Garden with the cooperation of the director of the garden, Zhong Shaojing.The other part, led by Chen Xuanli and others, beheaded Wei Dang in Chang'an City, leaving no one who was higher than the whip.

That night in Chang'an City, the sound of gold and iron horses screaming for killing was endless. Although Empress Wei escaped from the inner palace by chance and hid in the flying cavalry army, when the Wan cavalry army came with Wei Rui's bloody head, she thought that her fighting power was not enough. Empress Wei was beheaded in the flying cavalry barracks, and Princess Anle, who was going to bed and dressing, was beheaded in front of the dressing table. Almost none of the Yingwei party escaped.

As for the [-] local government soldiers transferred by Empress Wei, they were as docile as kittens in front of the wolves and tigers of Wanqi and Flying Cavalry, and they quietly did not let a single soldier out from the beginning to the end.

Among the palace changes tonight, the only exception was Tang Cheng, who shouted the most killing voices against him, and also had the most Wanqi sergeants looking for him everywhere. If we talk about the murderous intent of these sergeants, this Tang Cheng ranked first.

It's just that thousands of sergeants searched tirelessly day and night, but they still couldn't find Tang himself. This person seemed to be missing, not even one of the servants in his small mansion.

Just because they couldn't find it, they desperately searched for it. The people in Chang'an, who were awakened by the movement outside that night, hid in the door and shivered, fearing that the rioters would rush in; while wondering in their hearts, who is this Tang Cheng?I have never heard of such a big man in the court, why did he make such a big fuss.

No one would have imagined that at this time Tang Chengcheng was standing silently in front of the window in a small courtyard of Xiangwang Mansion, guarded by thousands of horsemen, listening to the shouts of killing resounding throughout the city.

Just listening to the sounds outside, one could tell that Wanqi's progress was going well. However, such smooth progress did not make Tang Cheng happy at all. On the contrary, the haze in his heart became heavier and heavier. It can't be blown open, and it can't be blown away.

A lake satin gown was lightly draped over Tang Cheng's shoulders. After Qizhi adjusted the outer clothes for Tang Cheng, he didn't walk away, but turned around and snuggled into his arms, "Tang Cheng, What on earth have you done, so many people outside are shouting to kill you."

"I did what I thought I should do", standing with the lamp behind, the night cast a heavy shadow on Tang Cheng's face, Rao Qizhi had put his heart into it, but he still couldn't see clearly. "The shouting outside is not only the achievement of my work, but also the price I am destined to pay."

Qizhi didn't quite understand Tang Cheng's words, but she didn't ask again, but squeezed her body into Tang Cheng's arms again, "Say, will they rush in? Or, will the people here hand you over to me?" go out".

Tang Cheng didn't speak, but Qizhi clearly felt his body trembling like a shiver. It seemed that these two unintentional questions just stabbed the most fearful corner of his heart.

"Tang Cheng?"

"No", Tang Cheng, who was in the shadows in front of the window, shook his head vigorously, "at least the current Li Longji won't".

Qizhi has a natural love for singing and dancing, but she has no interest in politics at all. What, you have been standing for such a long time, go to bed early, everything will be fine when you wake up."

"Yeah, everything will be fine once I wake up." Qizhi's heartless words warmed the room surrounded by the sound of killing. Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked her satin-like silky head He said, "Listen again, let me listen again...".

When the first ray of morning sun from the sky broke through the window and shone through the window, Chang'an, who had been tossed by blood and screams for a whole night, finally calmed down exhausted.

Tang Cheng, who had stood silently in front of the window all night, finally let out a long breath after hearing the last shout of killing outside.

What should come is finally here, at least for now, what should be over is also over!

In the next few days, Wanqi took over all the defense of the capital, while Tang Cheng lived in the humble courtyard of Xiangwang Mansion and quietly watched the situation outside.

The palace change is a palace change, and the early court still has to be early. The next day after the palace change, the new emperor went out to watch the morning court as usual, and took his seat on the throne. Li Chongmao said loudly: "The heir is going to abdicate to uncle, what do you ministers think?" After the bloodshed last night, most of the remaining courtiers in the court are now Princess Taiping's cronies. Li Changjun.

Then Princess Taiping said to Li Chongmao before the throne: "People's hearts have returned to the king, it is not your child's seat, come down quickly." Princess Taiping of Zhenguo didn't say anything else, she stretched out her hand and pulled the little emperor by his collar and pushed him off the emperor's throne. Then An Guoxiang Wang Li Dan became the emperor after three resignations, and the little emperor Li Chongmao burst into tears Wang Wang stood at the head of the palace to pay homage to the new emperor. He was conferred the title of King Wen, and later changed to King Chu.

In the early dynasty, Princess Taiping abolished the young emperor and set up the new emperor. What she did was clean and neat, and the scene where she said a word was full of applause was a sign of another political strong woman on the political arena of the Tang Dynasty after Wu Zetian and Wei Shuren. The forefront of the government.

An Guoxiang Wang Li Dan is no different from his father Gaozong and his brother Zhongzong who died not long ago in terms of personality.Now, out of gratitude and for the purpose of quickly stabilizing the government after the great change, the prime minister immediately ordered his sister, Princess Taiping, to be a counselor for political affairs after he became the king. The Zhengshitang is carried out, and the report of the Zhengshitang also needs to be presented to the emperor and the princess at the same time.

After the palace change, the prime ministers promoted by Empress Wei died or were arrested, and the political affairs hall was empty. Among the seven new prime ministers who joined the political affairs hall, five of them came from the princess family. The power and power of the emperor actually approached that of Empress Wei's day.

After the palace change, Li Longji was promoted to the throne as Prince Ping, and then Li Dan wanted to establish a prince. Most of the civil and military courts in the Manchu Dynasty followed the princess's wishes and asked Li Chengqi, the eldest prince who was most like his father, to be appointed as the prince. The third son, Prince Ping, Li Longji, was a man of few words, and the dispute between the crown prince and Prince Ping had arisen at the beginning of the court.

At this time, Li Chengqi, who had the highest voice for the establishment of the crown prince, bid farewell to the position of prince, and asked Li Longji, the third brother, to be established.This kind of sincerity can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Many ministers in the court insisted that the prince should be the head, but Li Chengqi insisted that he would not accept it, and said that Guoan should be the head. Once he heard the words, he praised the king of Song highly, and he was rewarded a lot, and Li Longji, the third son of the emperor, was promoted to the crown prince.

The court has been leveled, and the rewards for meritorious deeds have been completed. At this point, the series of palace changes in Chang'an has officially ended.And the next wave of new palace changes is quietly brewing.

After the dust settled, Tang Cheng no longer had the slightest interest in paying attention to the changes and news in the imperial city and the palace city. Already deeply bored.Betrayal, killing, coercion, and assassination, no matter what the ending is, the process is always dark and destructive, which is incompatible with the change he deeply desires.

One such experience is enough, enough.Chang'an, the capital of all nations and the city of gold, it is better to go back, it is better to go back!

Chapter 211 Only as Chief Officer

It was a morning when the sun was just emerging, and suddenly there was a burst of coughing in a quiet small house in Daozhengfang, Chang'an.

"Senior officer, what's the matter? You can let the little one go to hire a doctor. See how thin the senior officer has become these days, and he keeps coughing like this." Lai Fu's voice was almost crying , "If you continue to toss like this, how can I explain to my wife when I return to Jinzhou?".

"Don't be so evil, I can't die!" After another series of low-pitched coughs, Tang Cheng waved to Laifu, "Go, bring the sackcloth I asked you to prepare yesterday."

"Where is the official going? Not long after Wan Qi was dismissed from his post, Mr. Zhang explained that it is best not to go out these days."

"Go as soon as I let you go." Seeing that Laifu still doesn't move, Tang Cheng sneered and said, "Okay, okay, I can't even make you go with Mr. Zhang. In this case, you just go and follow him. It's okay." What are you doing here?"

Seeing that Tang Cheng started an unknown fire again and said harsh words, Lai Fu only felt bitter in his heart. Ever since he heard that Wei Bo's family was slaughtered on the night of the palace change, the officials were as if they were in a daze. These days Not only did he never smile again, but he became thinner and thinner every day, even his temper became erratic, and he would get angry at every turn.

Lai Fu knew the temperament of high-ranking officials, knowing that he couldn't resist, he didn't say anything more, Wu Yan turned around and came back wearing a special sackcloth for mourning.

Tang Cheng didn't want Laifu's help either. After taking the sackcloth and putting it on carefully, he coughed and walked out the door. Laifu hurriedly followed after seeing this.

After leaving the courtyard, Tang Cheng took a deep breath, and then sold a large bamboo basket, incense, framed candles and other things to the birthday material store in the square, and then waved for a pedestrian.

"Yizhuang in the west of the city", when Tang Cheng reported these four words, Lai Fu felt bitter. Of course he knew what Tang Cheng was going to do. The problem was that it was not the right time.

"Senior officials, the twelve gates of the four cities of Chang'an are now controlled by flying cavalry troops." Laifu tried to lower his voice as softly as possible, "Is there anyone in the flying cavalry who doesn't know...".

"Wanqi is looking for me. I'm not afraid of anything you are afraid of." After waving his hand and saying this, Tang Chengcheng didn't say anything, just buried his head in stacking the paper money in the bamboo basket. Pushed away by him.

When walking out of the city gate, the hairs on Laifu's body in the car suddenly stood up, lest the flying cavalry sergeants guarding the gate would step forward to question him, but Tang Cheng didn't seem to feel anything, and his hand that was stacking the paper money didn't even shake.

Fortunately, after the tension of the past few days, Chang'an City, which has now settled down, has resumed the previous access control. There is no inspection when leaving the city, and inspections are required when entering the city. Therefore, the pedestrian that Tang Cheng hired was safe and sound. Out of town.

Gently lifted the curtains of the car and glanced at the city gate behind him, after a long sigh of relief, Laifu turned his gaze to Tang Cheng.

The high official knew it, so he knew it a long time ago!After thinking about it this way, Lai Fu was stunned again, no, since he dismissed all the people serving around him that night, he has been following him these days, except for a few visitors, and transferred to this He hasn't even been out of the house since the new residence, so how did he know the news?

It's difficult for the officials to know that the trip just now was pure luck?Still not right, a smart person like a senior official would do such a thing that is asking for trouble, and is even very likely to ask for a dead end?

Does the high official know or not?On the way out of the city, Laifu has been entangled with this problem.

There were too many people killed that night in the Rigong Bian, and most of the adults of the Wei clan were killed. Even those who escaped by chance did not dare to come out to collect the corpses. A Yi Zhuang that only collects corpses without owners.Most of the corpses were buried together in a big pit, let alone a coffin board, and there was not even a tombstone.Only a few dignitaries of the Wei clan have marks, this is also to prevent the imperial court from issuing any edicts against these corpses in the future.

There are too many corpses sent in these days, not to mention that the common people dare not come here, even the old widowers in Shouyi Village are afraid of being too dark and looking for a place to hide, unless there is another task of burial, in that case I have the tolerance of Jingzhao Yamen to call them, otherwise they would never come now.

Yizhuang was originally a deserted place, and since then there was not even a single person. When the car Tang Cheng hired was three or four miles away from Yizhuang, the driver refused to go any further.

"Let's settle the score", after Xiang Laifu ordered, Tang Cheng picked up the bamboo basket and got out of the car.

In an empty field that was as silent as death, Tang Cheng's back, walking alone with a bamboo basket on his back, looked thinner and thinner.

After paying the fare and leaving, Laifu quietly watched Tang Cheng's back gradually get smaller and smaller, but he didn't follow. He knew that high-ranking officials now need to be alone. After going through this trip, after burning the basket of paper money, Tang Cheng's heart can be released.

The officials really... can't go on like this!

Because the floating soil on it was too thin to suppress the strong smell of blood, so although this Yizhuang is large, the place where Wei's family is buried is easy to find.Not long after, Tang Chengcheng saw the word Wei Bo scrawled on a wooden sign in front of a small earthen grave.

After putting down the bamboo basket on his back, Tang Cheng squatted down in front of the earthen grave. After a long time, he was like a sculpture, looking at the small loess without moving.

"Why didn't you leave that night?" After a long, long time, Tang Cheng finally spoke, muttering to himself like a mosquito ant: "Before I left, I clearly sent you a letter, and even the back road was prepared inside." , why don’t you leave? Why do you want to go back to the Wanqi Army?”.

"Just to go back and get that knife? Just to be loyal to that fucking empress Wei? Wei Bo, you are an idiot." The voice like a mosquito and ant became louder and louder, and Tang Cheng who stood up suddenly couldn't help squatting too much. Jiu's legs and feet were already numb, and as soon as he stood up, he fell down again. He didn't care about it, and when he stood up again, he was like a madman, pointing at the pile of loess with blushing fingers and roaring. , "You are an idiot, you are the idiot if you don't see that I have different intentions, it is even more idiotic if you can run or not that night, it is even more stupid if you don't run or let your wife and children run, you Such an idiot deserves his death!"

Tang Cheng pointed at the loess and roared, still unable to vent his emotions, he even used his feet, kicking the small grave mound into the air, "Don't blame me, I'll tell you You are the enemy, and the enemy is life and death. If you found out that I killed me, I would only blame myself for being stupid, and never blame you. Now you can run or not and kill yourself. Blame me, it's not my fucking fault, you see, it's not my fault!".

After the roaring and dancing, Tang Chengcheng, who coughed a series of times, collapsed on the ground as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

So he lay on the edge of the messy grave for a long time, perhaps because the dust was so big that his eyes were dazzled, Tang Cheng unexpectedly rolled two drops of muddy tears from the corners of his eyes.

After wiping away the two tears with his sleeves, Tang Cheng, who turned over and got up, resumed the silence when he first came, but his two hands never stopped, picking up the dust that had just been kicked away with handfuls. They were piled up again on the messy grave mounds.

He took handfuls of soil and patted it with his hands. Seeing that the height of the grave had returned to the previous height and was even more rigid than before, Tang Cheng didn't realize it. He still mechanically repeated the action just now, piled handfuls of loess on top, and slowly When Tang Cheng's back began to show dark sweat marks, Wei Bo's originally pointed mound had become round.

Where the sky is round, only those buried in a round grave can fly to the heaven. People in the Tang Dynasty believed this!

"Although you are stupid, I respect you for being so stupid." Tang Cheng covered the grave with the last piece of floating soil he could find nearby and patted it down. However, his speech now is much more peaceful, peaceful It’s like talking and laughing among old friends, “I used to think that since it’s something I want to do, I don’t have to care about it; now I know that’s not the case, it’s not the case! A lot of things don’t matter what you want to do, think What you do or what you have to do, but you can't help but care."

"Wu Que, Wei Bo's death is God's will, why do you have to suffer so much?" The person who came over was Zhang Liangzhang, who was recommended by the prince for meritorious service after this palace change. Mingzhi, following him is naturally Laifu.

Seeing that Tang Cheng, who used to be well dressed and acted calmly and calmly in the past, is now thin, haggard, and dusty, Zhang Liang felt an inexplicable bitterness in his eyes and mouth. The bright official clothes he was wearing made him couldn't help but flush a little on his face.

Zhang Liang is already like this, but Laifu is even more unbearable. He ran to Tang Cheng's side in a few steps and stretched out his hand to help him up. The words in his mouth were already choked with sobs, "Young official, don't torment yourself." , You have made meritorious service, you have made great service."

"I'm fine." The only thing that pleased Laifu was that although Tang Cheng's description was more embarrassing than when he came just now, his voice was obviously a little more relaxed than before.
