Tang's dining table

Once the army loses control and causes a military disaster, it will be more terrible than any disaster in the world.

Therefore, the power of the military, a purely violent institution, is best not to be dispersed and cannot be dispersed.

This is not even negotiable.

Wen Wen didn't know, but Yun Chu knew that the reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty was that military power was dispersed in the hands of Jiedushi. The most terrible thing was that the position of Jiedushi not only had military power, but also administrative power and coinage power.

The power of each Jiedushi is greater than the power of the king. It would be unreasonable for the Tang Dynasty not to fall.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was supposed to be a very good system in which the generals did not know the soldiers and the soldiers did not know the generals. Unfortunately, this had no effect on people like Li Ji. He had been in the army for too long, and the government soldiers were not Due to the inheritance system, military households have basically always been military households.

Li Ji worked his way from a small soldier to the supreme commander. Even if he had never commanded new soldiers, he must have commanded old soldiers, not to mention generals and generals.

Therefore, Li Ji's influence on the army was really great.

This is the reason why Li Zhi kept tormenting Li Ji. Unless he died, Li Zhi would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Now, Li Ji is finally going to die, and Li Zhi feels that he must watch Li Ji die.

Yun Chu warned almost everyone, but until now no one on Lishan Mountain took the initiative.

Yun Chu felt that this was actually quite good. How could a person like Li Ji not have any burial objects?

In fact, Yun Chu himself also doubted whether Li Ji would die this time. Although the old immortal said that Li Ji would die in June, judging from the old immortal's behavior becoming more and more like a naughty boy, what he said sometimes was very strange. It's unreliable.

What if Li Ji doesn't die?

After Yunchu arranged the affairs in Lintong, he returned to Chang'an. He felt that he did not need to help anyone and watch others die. Death is a very personal matter and has always been determined by God.

After coming out of the epidemic area, although he thought he was fine, Yun Chu still followed Yu Xiurong's advice and did not go home. There were many babies at home and they could not withstand the torment of the epidemic.

A group of eunuchs came out from Chang'an Palace.

This group of eunuchs knew at a glance that they were members of the Royal Inner Court's torture chamber.

Yunchu thought that something happened about him taking a bath in the Hot Spring Palace, but unexpectedly, people asked him by name about the whereabouts of the Wu brothers.

Ever since Yun Chu ordered the blockade of Lishan Mountain, the Wu brothers, who were accustomed to seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, followed Yun Chu back to Chang'an.

It has to be said that these two brothers are really concerned about the errands arranged by the queen. As far as Yunchu knows, Shen Ru and the others have always wanted to sell some of the remaining materials that they started building the Daming Palace a few years ago to the Wu brothers at a high price. , so that we can get some benefits for the brothers in the yamen.

Even though Shen Ru had already given all his money to the Wu brothers, he was still rejected by them. They were extremely serious about the materials used in the Nancheng reconstruction project, so seriously that Yun Chu couldn't bear to turn this project into an unfinished project. .

The two brothers hurried back from the construction site. When they heard that it was the imperial city officials who were looking for them, they both felt that this time they could really see Yun Chu make a fool of himself, so they went to change into new clothes before coming here.

After the Luoyang officials headed by the Wu brothers and the officials from Wannian County arrived, the eunuch talked a lot about the queen's teachings.

The core content is that the water in the hot spring palace pool was polluted. The Wu brothers were blamed for not taking good care of it, and fifty large boards were posted to see the effects.

Hearing this, Queen Jiao Yunchu was not surprised. The emperor and the queen were both human beings. If they couldn't even see this hint, they would have been hanging around in the most treacherous political circle in the world for so many years. .

On the other hand, after the Wu brothers listened to the Queen's teachings, they all stared at Yun Chu with all four eyes. Even when they were executed on the spot by the eunuchs, they did not scream and just looked at Yun Chu.

At this time, the Wu brothers no longer considered whether it was fair for the queen to hit their brothers, but were thinking about the fact that the water in the Hot Spring Palace was contaminated. The person who polluted the Hot Spring Palace was Yunchu, and the evidence was conclusive.

Why did the Queen's Church only punish them for lax supervision but didn't say a word about Yun Chu taking a bath in the Queen's bathhouse?

The fifty-year-old spank was neither light nor heavy, and the eunuchs' beating was quite satisfactory. The two brothers' buttocks were broken, and the blood dyed their pants red.

In the middle, the Wu brothers remained silent and could be called heroes.

After being beaten, the Wu brothers supported each other and went back to their mansions without saying a word from beginning to end.

At this moment, Li Chengxiu came, and he was determined to go to Lishan to protect his old father.

Yun Chu just glanced at Li Chengxiu's appearance and swallowed his words of persuasion.

Some people and some things cannot be stopped. For Li Chengxiu, the matter of taking care of his old father who is about to die of illness has transcended his life.

Although typhoid fever is a terrible disease, and Li Ji, the Duke of Ying, also strictly ordered that no one from the Ying Gong's mansion go to Lishan to do business, this was not the reason for him to give up and ignore his seriously ill old father.

Yun Chu is now his master, so naturally he will not let his disciple fall into a situation of disloyalty and unfilial piety. If it is his father who is lying in Lishan Villa waiting to die at this moment, he will go too.

"Every time I see you Aye, remember, you must wear a mask. The mask must be soaked in antiseptic and then dried in the sun. I have white clothes here from the Tai Hospital. Remember it." Tie the cuffs and collar tightly.

Your father's feces must be collected and boiled with quicklime.

You are not allowed to eat food from Lishan Mountain, you are not allowed to drink the water from Lishan Mountain, especially raw water, and you are not allowed to bathe in the water from Lishan Mountain.

When leaving, remember to bring a tent and camp at the door of the villa. Limit the number and time of visiting your Aye every day.

Furthermore, just listen to Lao He. As long as he is fine, you will be fine. "

After listening to Yun Chu's words carefully, Li Chengxiu said with hope: "Will I, Aye, get better too?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "You must be mentally prepared."

After hearing Yunchu's words, Li Chengxiu drove a carriage out of Chang'an in frustration and went to Lishan to fulfill his filial piety.

After Li Chengxiu left, Yun Chu stood at the window of the official house and looked at it for a long time. He knew that it was inappropriate to allow Li Chengxiu to visit Li Ji who was suffering from the epidemic. There was no other way. This was the Tang Dynasty, and some people valued loyalty and filial piety more than their own lives. important.

"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand. Please clarify my confusion."

Wu Chengsi, who had been standing outside Yunchu's window for a long time, finally spoke up.

Yunchu asked: "What's the matter?"

Wu Chengsi asked: "Why are our brothers blamed by the queen?"

Yun Chu said: "Why don't you ask me why I am not blamed?"

Wu Chengsi said: "The king is not punished. This is the ability of the king. I just want to ask why our brothers are punished?

It is only said that we did not guard the Hot Spring Palace well, but who can guarantee the safety of the Hot Spring Palace under the attack of fierce generals like Junhou? "

Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi and said, "Do you still remember the riddle I wanted you to guess?"

Wu Chengsi said: "Remember, the king is very resourceful and our brothers are not opponents. The best way is to stay within the rules and not exceed them."

Yun Chu said: "Obviously, the queen's expectations for your brothers are not quite satisfactory. It is as simple as not exceeding the rules. The reason why you are being criticized is because of your lack of ability."

Wu Chengsi asked: "What if something goes wrong?"

Yun Chu glanced at Wu Chengsi and said, "You have an aunt who is the queen, so why are you afraid of making mistakes? In other words, your aunt sent you to do things to hone your character and ability. If you are worried about your brothers making mistakes, Do you think your aunt can’t find ministers who are more thoughtful and smarter than you?”

Wu Chengsi saluted Yunchu and said, "Thank you for your teaching, but I still have a question. I wonder if..."

Yun Chu said: "I'm in a very depressed mood today. Just tell me. It'll just relieve the depression in my heart."

Wu Chengsi intervened and said, "Why do you want to beat our brothers?"

Yun Chu said: "This is a normal political struggle. The queen wants to cultivate your brothers for her use. I know the prince very well, so naturally I want to prevent your brothers from growing up. I will beat you and make your brothers fear me. That will be a success." It's a way to prevent your brothers from becoming talented. Under normal circumstances, people who are scared out of their courage cannot use it."

Wu Chengsi said: "Why do you want to say it?"

Yun Chu rolled his eyes at Wu Chengsi and said, "You have already been crippled by me, so why bother telling you?"

Wu Sansi, who was hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping, jumped out from behind the tree and pointed at Yun Chu and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

As soon as Yun Chu jumped out of the window, Wu Sansi shouted and hid behind the big tree again.

Yun Chu said to Wu Chengsi who also reluctantly took three steps back: "Look, your brothers' fear of me has penetrated deep into your bones. Although your hearts tell you not to be afraid, your bodies are faster than your hearts." He made dodge movements."

Yun Chu smiled and patted Wu Chengsi on the shoulder and said, "Be obedient. When you do something to become my enemy, just choose to stay away. This is the best choice for you brothers."

Wu Chengsi's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he said with difficulty: "I don't believe it."

Yunchu looked into Wu Chengsi's eyes and said, "When you confront me in the future, you will believe it. Now be obedient and get out of the way. I'm going to have lunch."

Wu Sansi watched helplessly as Wu Chengsi obediently made way for Yun Chu, with tears gushing out like a fountain.

When Yun Chu arrived at the canteen, the cook immediately brought a plump roast chicken and a bowl of soup stewed with the chicken fat flowing out of the roast chicken.

Yun Chu pointed at the fat chicken and said, "The imperial court decrees that meat is not allowed in official meals."

The fat cook said with a smile: "I just heard from Chief Shen that the court issued a new law that chickens do not count as meat!"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Then I'll give everyone a piece of roast chicken and I'll take care of the account."

The cook said: "You don't need to count the Lord. We have a lot of food left in the back hall. Even if the Lord eats every day, we can still afford it."

When Yun Chu heard this, he sighed and said to Shen Ru, who had just walked in: "You have also seen that nowadays, all laws and regulations are changed day by day."
