[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 19 Relatives 07

Wu Yuanqing's death didn't matter, but it scared the officials in Guangxi to death.

The person who died is not an ordinary person, but he is Uncle Zhun, okay?

In addition to Wu Yuanqing's sensitive identity, the appearance of his death was also really ugly. The officials in charge of investigating the case didn't know how to describe the... tragic condition of this corpse in the death report.

It is said that there is a punishment called "Ling Chi" among the top ten tortures, which cuts the flesh piece by piece and cuts him into pieces, but Wu Yuanqing's death method is not much better than Ling Chi's. It should be stabbed at least a thousand holes =. =

How much hatred is this, so that the person who does it can insist on poking Wu Yuanqing so many holes ==

However, the place where the crime happened was still on the way to Longzhou, in a dense forest where strong men appeared at first glance, and no matter what, by the time the official uniform sent someone to come, the murderer had already disappeared!

The officials in Guangxi were so devastated by this case that they didn't want to take responsibility. They blamed each other until the corpse stinks. In the end, it was Li Xiaojiu's people who reported the whole story to Chang'an.

Wu Xu heard that Wu Yuanqing didn't die in office, so his complexion was not very good-looking, and then he heard that Wu Yuanqing didn't leave to take office according to the official document of the Ministry of Officials, and took a group of beautiful concubines to travel around the mountains and rivers along the way. A girl from a good family, with a large amount of belongings, is slowly heading towards Longzhou...

Wu Xu was suddenly furious, and only gave a four-character comment: I will seek my own death.

He looks like a fat sheep and dares to swagger through the poor mountains and rivers where the folk customs are tough, he will die who will die!

"Sage, let's deal with this matter according to the casualties of ordinary officials. It's better for me to avoid suspicion." Wu Xu yawned involuntarily after reading the two investigation reports on Wu Yuanqing's death in Guangxi.

Both investigation reports concealed that Wu Yuanqing was deliberately tossed to death, but the Guangxi prefectural report indicated that the murderer might be a bandit, while Li Xiaojiu's people said that the murderer might be Wu Yuanqing's enemy...

No matter what kind of murderer it is, it's impossible to catch it anyway!

Wu Xu couldn't help but yawned again.

It is estimated that few people would like a person like Wu Yuanqing, and it is not surprising that his corpse was lying on the street.

As for the news of the death of Wu Yuanshuang, another Wu family brother, soon after, Wu Xu was already very calm: the rich second-generation dude really can't enjoy the blessings, and he went to such a beautiful place to be an official, but he can still die?Don't you see how many white-collar and gold-collar workers in modern times run to the deep mountains and old forests if they have nothing to do, wishing to stay and not leave!

Tut tut...

Now Father Wu really doesn’t have a son =. =

Seeing that Wu Xu was too lazy to care about the truth about the death of the Wu family brothers, Li Zhi couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But at this time Wu Xu suddenly asked He Lanminzhi: "What is Dalang up to lately? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time? Hong'er told me last night that brother hasn't been to the Hongwen Museum for a long time. It's..."

"You said Da Lang..." Li Zhi saw a strange look on his face when he heard about it, and then he said with a smile: "He said a while ago that he wanted to go to various states to study, so I gave him a jade card and told him..."

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Wu Xu interrupted him in surprise: "What?! You let a kid like him travel?"

His two uncles just died in the backcountry, okay?

Kid Helan is not yet an adult, what if something happens...

rub it!

This matter was known by Yang, who was protecting the calf, so he wouldn't go berserk, right?

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw that Wu Xu completely treated He Lan Minzhi as a weak young man, and couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat: He Lan Dalang is 16 years old (fake age), how can he still be a child?When I was my age, I already married a princess, uh...stop, stop!

"Awu, don't worry, I have assigned a lot of guards to Dalang..." Besides, that brat's swordsmanship is quite good, and in time he might become a top swordsman!

"Come on, you..." Wu Xu walked up and down on the couch a little irritably. Although it was almost autumn, the Tai Chi Palace was still as stuffy as a big steamer. Drip into the gauze...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu looked at the looming spring on someone's chest, and couldn't help feeling a little distracted...

"You kept this matter so tight... If A Niang finds out... Sigh!" Wu Xu wished she could kick Li Xiaojiu twice and let He Lan boy out. Shi has been unwell for the past two days and has no time to pay attention to his grandson's situation, maybe he has been exposed early!

Li Zhi couldn't help rubbing his nose, he said from left to right, "It's so hot these days, why don't we go to Wannian Palace to escape the summer heat?"

"Are you sure the Wannian Palace can still be inhabited?" Wu Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the words. After the flash flood that year, the Wannian Palace was almost destroyed. Except for the Tai's uterus in the east, the other palaces were not damaged. All reduced to rubble.

When Wu Xu calculated the cost of repairing the palace, he was so distressed that he cried out. Later, when floods occurred in various places and natural disasters such as the rebellion of "Emperor Wen Jia" occurred, Wu Xu simply gave the cost of repairing the palace to him. Appropriate...

Thinking about it now, it is they themselves who suffer =. =

She and Li Xiaojiu were exhausted and worked overtime at the risk of heat stroke. If the people below didn't obey the command, one or two 'Emperor Wen Jia' and 'Emperor Wu Jia' would appear!

Sure enough, it is not easy to be a good head of state who endures hardships and stands hard work!

Before Wu Xu could finish her emotion, Li Xiaojiu's face suddenly became a little subtle, and then threw her an urgent secret booklet.

"Awu, look at..."

After reading the booklet, Wu Xu couldn't help being stunned. This is another real case of a general who didn't manage his soldiers well and ended up making a big mess.

The excerpt was written by Cheng Zhijie, the general manager of the Onion Mountain Road, and described his military operations in the past few months, detailing everything.

Wu Xu's eyelids twitched when he saw the words 'soldiers looting property' on it...

However, at the beginning of this year, Li Xiaojiu suddenly remembered that there were still a few barbarians on the border who refused to accept the Tang Dynasty, so he sent Commander Cheng Zhijie to lead an army to attack the Western Turks.

As a result, several months have passed, and the little barbarian has not been killed, and the military operation that was originally a sure thing has capsized in the gutter!

Now, the grandson Xianggong couldn't take sick leave to stay behind closed doors, so he rushed into the palace to plead guilty.

Different from the former emperor's martial arts, which was divided in victory and defeat throughout his life, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu has never suffered a loss in fighting the enemy with force since he ascended the throne. Although this march on Congshan Road was not a big defeat, it was clearly a tragic victory.Cheng Zhijie delayed the fighter plane, causing the chief culprit to flee. Although he captured Tandu City, he failed to restrain his subordinates, resulting in chaos, and lost a large number of soldiers in vain...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was furious when he heard the news, and immediately dismissed the coach Cheng Zhijie from his post, and escorted him to Beijing to await trial.

As the eldest grandson Xianggong and Lai Ji who supported Cheng Zhijie's expedition at the beginning, they are all jointly and severally responsible.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu unceremoniously cut the official ranks of several people, and temporarily retained the status of several people to see the aftermath.

In the end, under the protection of Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie was spared the death penalty and was exiled to Qizhou.

However, people with a discerning eye can see the clues at a glance. Chu Suiliang and Cheng Zhijie were demoted one after another, and the eldest grandson seems to have lost his left and right arms. Han Yuan, Lai Ji and others are of no help at all!

The saint is really 'If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster'!

However, on the following Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu brought back the official rank of his uncle, grandson Xianggong, at the banquet of the ministers without any grievances, and asked him to edit the history of the Five Dynasties.

We must know that in the Tang Dynasty, a courtier was able to be entrusted with the important task of "editing history" by the sage, which indicated that this person was extremely trusted and valued by the sage.In this era, there are still sayings that "worshiping the prime minister", "repairing the history" and "marrying women with four surnames" are the three major goals that scholars strive for throughout their lives.

In addition to entrusting Uncle Changsun with important responsibilities, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also promoted the official position of Sun Quan, the husband-in-law of Sixteen Niangs, and let him enter the Ministry of Education, as if he was going to take over Uncle Changsun's class.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's overtures to the Changsun family made everyone, including Changsun Wuji, think that it was a step down from the sage who wanted to restore the relationship between his nephew and uncle.

Changsun Wuji is not a pedantic person, or he is actually a person who is very good at timing.

It's just that many years of being pampered and powerful has made him forget the precarious and intense dark days on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's offer of favor to grandson Wuji did not refuse, but he still didn't give his nephew a good face.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest grandson, Xianggong, continued to claim that he would not be sick, and Han Yuan and others, who followed his example, also took sick leave to show their non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

With the lack of signatures of a few big bosses under the Zhongshu sect, some imperial edicts of His Majesty the Emperor could not be issued.

Leaving aside His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's mood, some members of the Changsun family are unavoidably shaken.

Princess Yangchang of Liuniang Cheng went to Zhao Guogong's mansion first, but unfortunately Liuniang couldn't persuade her uncle, so she had to leave with her husband, Changsun Quan, who had been silent since entering Zhao Guogong's mansion.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu heard about Sixteen Niang's actions, and he was very grateful in his heart, but he had already made up his mind to throw it under the surface of submissiveness. As long as Changsun Wuji was still in power in the court for a day, the relationship between him and Uncle It must be like fire and water, no matter how difficult it is to reconcile...

On the second day after the Sixteen Niangs and his wife visited Zhao Guogong's mansion, Li Zhi gave them a set of Taoist classics newly printed by Chang'an Bookstore. It's a matter between the two nephews.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be He Lanminzhi's 16th birthday.

He Lan Dalang, who had been absent from the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, rushed back to Chang'an the day before his birthday.

Wu Xu, who was almost unable to hide the truth from the Yang family, heard the news and almost wept with joy: Now it is finally possible to hold a Yuanfu ceremony for Helan boy, and let him change his surname into the Wu family tree!

I haven't seen him for a few months, but Helan seems to have grown a lot taller, and looks even fairer!

rub it!

She was worried to death in Chang'an, this kid has a pretty good life ==

Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and stared at the more handsome boy with a half-smile.

After tomorrow, there will be no Helan Dalang, only Wu Dalang, hehe...

The author has something to say: Well, Wu Dalang...
