Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 407 Retaliation, bad taste, silence

  Chapter 407 revenge, bad taste, silence

   Li Chunfeng entered the palace, and when he was brought to Concubine Xiao Shu's bedroom, he was stunned.

   This has nothing to do with the difference between men and women. Lao Li is a monk, and as he gets older, such taboos are much less.

   But Concubine Xiao Shu's face is as angry as gossamer (full of red), what does this mean?

   "This is..." Lao Li wanted to retreat.

  The accompanying servant said in a low voice: "Tai Shi Ling, Concubine Xiao Shu is besieged by an evil spirit, and no one in the palace can cure it..."

   "Who recommended this old man?"

   Li Chunfeng looked calm, but his heart was turbulent.

  What is the old man's hatred against you? It actually pushed the old man into this vortex.

   "Uncle Wuyang."

  Lao Li lost the ability to manage his emotions, and whispered: "It's too bad!"

   But exorcism still needs to be done.

  He is known as a half-immortal, with a mahogany sword in his hand, he sipped softly.

   After finishing a set of Buddhist rituals, Lao Li seemed to be exhausted, "I am exhausted, so I will leave."

   Concubine Xiao Shu said quietly: "Tai Shi Ling is a master of Taoism, I can't say anything, I can only say that I have recovered."

  She regretted it, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a fuss, but now she can't.

   "Where's Jia Ping'an?"

   "Uncle Wuyang has gone back."

"next time…"

  …

   Jia Pingan felt that his arrangement was perfect, and when he returned to Baiqi, he was booed and treated.

   "Five Fragrance Building! Five Fragrance Building! Five Fragrance Building!"

   A group of idiots who think about whoring women all day long.

   "Vulgar taste, not advisable!"

   Jia Ping'an kept a straight face, but he knew that his brothers were exhausted these days.

   To be a boss, you have to be responsible.

   "Today, we will book Wuxianglou."

  Amidst the cheers, Li Chunfeng floated in.

  Boy, you lack great virtue!

Jia Pingan greeted him happily, "Tai Shi Ling is a coincidence. I thought last time you said that the money in the Tai Shi Bureau was much less. Today when I entered the palace, I encountered an evil concubine Xiao Shu. No, I could have expelled it at will, but I thought Tai Shiling's difficulties. Thinking about it like this, does His Majesty still have the nerve to not give money?"

yes!

  Why did the old man forget to ask for money?

   Li Chunfeng turned around and left.

  Fight with me!

  When Li Chunfeng entered the palace to ask for money and came back, Jia Ping'an had already left.

  Wuxianglou has become a world of hundreds of riders.

  Wuhua said resentfully: "Jia Lang has been away for a long time."

  If I come here often, sooner or later I will be dragged into trouble by you.

   Jia Pingan just smiled.

   "Jia Lang."

  Wuhua's eyes seem to be able to drip water.

  Following Jia Pingan’s mission to Goryeo and his return to Goryeo, several of his poems in Goryeo became popular in Chang’an City, making prostitutes crazy about it.

  Why don’t these young people who are overflowing with talent refuse to take pity on me?

  Five flowers and resentment.

   I just want to get better!

   Jia Ping'an was indifferent to the temptation.

  The old bustard came later and made a look, implying that the old lady is going to report to work, so you get out of the way.

   After Wuhua left, the bustard whispered some recent events.

   "Uncle Wuyang, some people say that His Majesty has the omen of a tyrant and acts overbearing."

  Li Zhi acted domineeringly...

   Isn't this talking nonsense?

   When dealing with political affairs, Li Zhi can be said to be kind and kind. He listened carefully to the opinions of the prime ministers and actively discussed them.

  You say that such an emperor is domineering, right?

   "Some people say that those aristocratic families who followed Emperor Gaozu in the army are now abandoned like worn-out shoes..."

  Is it interesting to say such resentful words?

   Thinking of those two skilled thieves, Jia Pingan asked, "Who said that?"

   "Just two men, they came out shortly after entering the house, panting, shame on me!"

  Aren't you happy to make quick money like this?

   Jia Ping'an was thinking.

   This is a lament and a warning.

  —Back then we helped Lao Li’s family rebel, and now your family is the emperor, but matchmakers can’t throw it over the wall, right?

  Jia Ping'an didn't know how powerful those aristocratic families were, but judging by Li Zhi's reaction, he was able to stand up to the royal family, which was extraordinary.

  Later, both the emperor and the elder sister wanted to weaken the powerful family in Shandong, but Mao did not use it, so he said that the old Cui Yixuan's family, his descendants were all high officials when he was in Xuanzong. For family gatherings, tables are used to stack wat boards, which shows the glory of the family.

   Once such aristocratic families join forces, the emperor can only kneel down.

   No wonder!

   Jia Ping'an felt a little itchy, and wished he could visit Cui's family.

   "Uncle Wuyang!"

  A prostitute got drunk, got up and said: "I know that the willows are so beautiful that I can't bear to sleep with Uncle Wuyang, so I danced to entertain Uncle Wuyang."

   Jia Ping'an nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation.

   This dance was so good that Jia Ping'an even clapped his hands.

   Later, he walked out of Wuxianglou, took a deep breath, exhaled the smell of makeup and alcohol in his lungs, "I'll go back first."

  Why are there so many brothels in the Tang Dynasty? Because of boredom! I do things during the day, and when I go home in the afternoon, the door of the workshop is closed, forming a closed community. Therefore, brothels and wine shops are the spiritual sustenance places of Chang'an people.

  Bao Dong and Lei Hong came out quickly, as the second generals of Heng Ha, they needed to send Jia Pingan home.

   The clatter of horseshoes was especially clear at night.

   Jia Ping'an was thinking about Hu Kang.

  The interrogation of Hu Kang was not handed over to Baiqi, but to the Ministry of Punishment.

  Why is this?

  There are many people in the criminal department, once the results of the interrogation are leaked...

   Li Zhi did it on purpose!

   Jia Ping'an suddenly woke up.

  Only in this way can Li Zhi's motive for throwing Hu Kang to the Ministry of Punishment be explained.

  After the results of the interrogation were made public, those old Guan Long would be put to death.

   But Baiqi's knife is temporarily out of use.

   Li Zhi, the emperor's methods are really convincing. He built up his prestige bit by bit, and made use of all the resources around him.

   Awesome!

   Jia Ping'an suddenly had a warning sign in his heart.

   "Uncle Wuyang!"

  Boom!

  The sound of pulling the crossbow was heard far away in the night.

  Jia Pingan turned over without hesitation.

  My Po!

  The crossbow arrow flew over the place where he was sitting with great precision. If he didn't dodge, he would be shot in the chest!

   "Lei Hong protect Uncle Wuyang!"

   Bao Dong drew his sword and rushed over.

  A few tens of steps ahead, a few dark shadows were vaguely seen evacuating.

   "There are assassins!"

   Lei Hong loudly warned.

  The people of Jinwuwei were dispatched.

  The sound of horseshoes came from behind, and Lei Hong shouted: "Assassins have crossbows!"

"Archer!"

  The general's shout pierced the night sky.

   "Rush!"

   More than ten riders rushed over.

   But the assassin disappeared without a trace.

   Bao Dong came back, his face livid, "They couldn't catch up, they fell into the workshop as soon as they missed a hit, and then they didn't know where to go."

  Once you enter Fangshi, if you want to find it again, you have to surround the whole Fangshi, and then use hundreds of people to go in and search intensively.

   "That's all!"

  The people of Jinwu Guard are back.

   "Wu Yangbo knows who the assassin is?"

   "You don't have to worry about this matter."

  Jia Ping'an didn't want to burden these ordinary people.

   "Uncle Wuyang!"

  The general frowned, "This is a question that must be answered."

  This kind of serious person is sometimes cute, sometimes it is a headache.

  Jia Pingan said: "For those who you can't control, I will naturally report to His Majesty later."

   Bao Dong shook his head, signaling the general not to pester him.

  Back to Daodefang, most of the servants were asleep, and Du He was waiting for him to go home.

  After entering the house, put Abao in place first, and then go to wash up.

   "Lang Jun."

   While Hongyan was packing up the bedding, Sanhua quietly appeared.

   "What is it?"

  Jia Pingan was rinsing his mouth, looking up.

   Sanhua held a towel in her hand, "Lang Jun's back is soaked, let me wipe it for you."

  The back is really not easy to rub.

  Jia Pingan nodded, and Sanhua took the towel in from the back of her neck, and wiped it.

   But why is that hand taking the opportunity to fumble?

   Jia Ping'an was thinking about something, so he didn't pay attention.

   "Lang Jun!"

   Hongyan came, and she looked at Sanhua contemptuously, "This is just scratching the surface, I have to take off my clothes."

   Recently, Hongyan has been actively studying, and the idiom "scratch the itch" is used well.

  Can take off clothes...

   Hongyan untied Jia Ping'an's outer garment in two strokes, and then...

   Jia Ping'an was still in a daze, only the underwear was left on his body.

   Hongyan groped in from behind with a towel, and easily wiped Jia Pingan's back.

   The towel has been iced with well water, and it feels so refreshing when it touches the skin!

   After finishing, Jia Pingan took the towel and wiped it himself.

   After he entered the bedroom, Hongyan turned her head proudly, "You don't know how to serve people at all."

  You are worthy of competing with me?

   Hongyan rubbed the towel triumphantly.

   "Can you write?"

  Swan Goose: "..."

  What is this woman talking about?

   "I know how to learn, Mr. Lang said, as long as I am willing to learn, let Zhao Yan teach me, and the housekeeper can also teach me."

  Zhao Yan is Jia Ping'an's only student, and Du He is a former official. They teach Hongyan literacy, which can be said to be overqualified.

  Stupid woman, just like you, you can’t learn it in ten years!

   But I am different!

  Sanhua raised her head slightly, the night wind blew, and her clothes fluttered.

   "My family is knowledgeable and can compose poetry, can you?"

  This year, if you want to call yourself a scholar, then you have to choose one of poetry, prose and article.

   Hongyan sneered and said, "Mr. Lang's poems are praised by countless people, but is there anyone who praises your poems?"

   "Red sleeves add fragrance, can you know it?"

   Hongyan was stunned.

   Sure enough, she is a vulgar and illiterate maidservant!

   Sanhua instantly felt happy.

  She turned and left, ready to rest.

   Hongyan suddenly thought of it, and said: "If you don't burn incense, you are dreaming sweet dreams!"

   Sanhua staggered from the back.

  …

  Wake up in the morning, wash first, and then practice knife.

   Ah Fu is on the sidelines, and Wang's second son is teaming up with Jia Ping'an in sparring.

   "Mr. Lang's sword skills are becoming more and more fierce, but if Mr. Lang can send and receive freely, it will be even more powerful."

"Take it easy."

  Jia Ping'an is only old, so he is not in a hurry.

  Xu Xiaoyu practiced on the side, and asked, "Second brother, what about my sword skills?"

  Wang Er Er glanced at him, although he felt sorry for the half of his disciples, but he still told the truth, "Your talent is far worse than Lang Jun."

   Jia Pingan just smiled.

  What talent?

  Since he came here, he has been practicing swords every day, and once he is free, he will think about his own sword skills and verify them immediately.

  Calluses on the palms of the hands, and accidental injuries are common.

  But he overcame these difficulties one by one and persisted for several years.

   This is the reason for his success, not any talent!

  Wang Lao Er and Xu Xiaoyu finished practicing, but Jia Pingan was still practicing.

   Arriving at Baiqi later, Cheng Da looked listless, and Ming Jing sneered.

   "What's wrong with Lao Cheng?"

  After the morning exercise, Jia Pingan looked energetic, in stark contrast to the sluggish Cheng Da.

  Cheng Da hesitated to speak, but he was a little ashamed.

  Ming Jing sneered and said: "He dozed off while reading the news, missed an important news, and plausibly said that he went to bed early last night..."

   Cheng Da seemed to call a prostitute last night, and then disappeared.

This is…

   wilted?

  It really is so powerless in middle age!

  Cheng Da sighed, "I just... didn't sleep well."

   A group of men went to Wuxianglou, what can they do?

  Looking at Cheng Da's appearance, Ming Jing felt that **** Jia's character was indeed good, at least he wouldn't use public office for personal reasons.

  …

   Today's discussion went smoothly, but Li Ji felt that the atmosphere was not right.

  Changsun Wuji looked calm, but Li Ji thought he was watching a play.

   Chu Suiliang was smiling. It had been a long time since I saw Chu Suiliang like this, as if he was gloating.

  Yu Shi and others saw that they were out of their minds.

   Only Cui Dunli suffered.

  Hu Kang, a doctor of the Ministry of War, escaped and was arrested, which involved a major incident in which the proportion of generals and soldiers in the Zuotun Weifan was abnormal.

   And Cui Dunli, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, is sitting on the wax.

  You want to say that this happened after Cui Dunli left and has nothing to do with him. But this matter has been prepared for several years. Cui Dunli had it when he was in the Ministry of War, but he was not discovered.

  One matter was discussed and decided, Li Zhi said with a smile: "Yesterday, a hundred cavalry took people, and the city was full of riots. I heard that someone in Zuo Tunwei was beheaded and someone in the military department fled. Do you know?"

  This is asking knowingly.

  Generally, the emperor asked this question mostly because he wanted to take the opportunity to draw out the topic.

  Changsun Wuji was silent and relaxed.

  Gao Jifu got up without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Hu Kang, the military commander, and General Mao Qi of the Zuo Tunwei colluded with each other and privately transferred more than 30% of the soldiers from Luoyang to the Zuo Tunwei. It is shocking!"

  Cui Dunli glanced at him, thinking that Gao Jifu looked like he was about to fall down at any moment. Was this to show his loyalty to the emperor before he died and work hard for the future of his children and grandchildren?

  But it depends on Li Zhi's opinion.

"Thirty percent of Zuo Tunwei's soldiers are from Luoyang, what do you want?" Li Zhi's voice gradually changed, "I am also quite uneasy in the palace, I would like to ask, at the Ministry of War...who promoted Hu Kang? "

  Cui Dunli stood up and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

  Li Zhi was surprised and said: "What is Cui Qing's crime?"

   After all, it is going to be slapped in the face in public!

  Cui Dunli said bitterly: "At the beginning, I didn't see Hu Kang's wolf ambition, so I spoke well of him when he recommended him."

   Tang officials want to be promoted, and Shangguan's opinion is very important. The Ministry of Officials needs the Shangguan's evaluation of this person, and then makes a final decision based on the person's speech and administrative performance during his official career.

   Li Zhi is silent.

  At this moment, he misses his confidant Xu Jingzong very much. If Xu Jingzong was here, he would definitely muster his tongue at this moment and attack Cui Dunli vigorously.

   "Cui Qing... sit down."

   Li Zhi didn't reprimand, but this made Cui Dunli suffer more than reprimanding.

  Emperor is too embarrassed to talk about you, so tell me what happened?

   "The minister... is guilty!"

  Cui Dunli can only plead guilty again, and this moment will be recorded.

  The emperor's reaction will also be recorded, which will become one of Cui Dunli's historical evaluations in the future.

   Li Ji looked and saw Li Zhi frowning slightly.

  —Emperor is not afraid!

  Old Cui got a bad review.

   "Your Majesty!"

  A servant came outside, "Hu Kang, a former doctor of the Ministry of Military Affairs, died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

   Li Zhi asked: "But died by torture?"

  The servant said: "It is said that the jailer delivered the food in the morning, and found him lying on the bed with a sharpened chopstick stuck in his throat."

  Cui Dunli only felt a chill in his throat, subconsciously said: "Who did this?"

  Li Ji glanced at the emperor. He knew that the emperor's motive for throwing Hu Kang over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation was to make the results of the interrogation widely known, but Hu Kang was silenced just before the start.

   "Dare to dare!"

   Li Zhi was furious, "The dignified Ministry of Punishment actually let the thieves do it, waste!"

   Trash is the emperor's worst evaluation of officials, someone in the Ministry of Punishment is going to be unlucky.

  Elder Sun Wuji stood up and said, "The Ministry of Punishment should take action against the British Lord."

  Li Ji nodded, "I will investigate this matter strictly later."

  Li Zhi said indifferently: "How many people like Hu Kang are there in the Ministry of War?"

  Cui Dunli lost his composure and looked up, wondering if the emperor wanted to clean the Ministry of War?

  Leader of the Six Departments, Zuo Pu shot Li Ji and said: "I am guilty of negligence."

  Li Zhi said coldly: "It's time for the British public to read the sixth part. Don't wait until a catastrophe is caused before you realize it."

  Six Departments have always had opponents holding back Li Ji, often tripping him up, and the emperor knew about it, so these words were hitting Changsun Wuji and others.

   Li Ji agreed.

   Then they dispersed.

   Later, Shen Qiu came.

   "Can you see it?"

Shen Qiu nodded, "The servants were in the prison last night. At the end of the ugly hour, someone came in quietly and threw a sharpened chopstick in. One of the fellow cellmates was still awake, so he picked up the chopsticks and rubbed them against Hu Kang's face. The mouth pierced his throat, and the sound of struggling alarmed the criminals nearby, who called Hu Kang to commit suicide!"

   "The criminal in the same cell?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

   "Your Majesty, a felon like Hu Kang must arrange someone to be in the same room with him in order to prevent him from committing suicide."

  Li Zhi nodded, "I see."

  The outside world didn't know about it at all, and Li Zhi was very clear about the silence, and his subordinates even witnessed it with their own eyes.

  …

   "Those people's hands are stretched out, and they actually silenced their words in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. They are a bit unscrupulous."

  Chu Suiliang was a little dissatisfied.

  Changsun Wuji took a sip of warm water, and said flatly: "If you don't keep your mouth shut...then you will become the laughing stock of the world."

   "This is His Majesty's method."

   "So what?" Changsun Wuji felt that this was a good job, "Those people unscrupulously planted people in Zuo Tunwei. They did this in the former Sui Dynasty, but this is the Tang Dynasty."

   "Last night..." Chu Suiliang lowered his voice, "Someone found the old man and said that His Majesty's people entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night."

   "It's to watch the excitement."

  This is the emperor's bad taste... Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Your Majesty's move is to force them to do something, and it is also a warning."

  Chu Suiliang froze for a moment, then asked suddenly: "What if those people don't do anything?"

  Changsun Wuji raised the water glass, the water was steaming, and his voice became more ethereal, "Then His Majesty's people will do it."

  Hu Kang knows too much. Once it comes out, Li Zhi can't just sit back and watch, and can only do something to those aristocratic families. And those aristocratic families are also unable to deal with themselves, they can only take action...

   "Datang... can't be messed up!"

   Chu Suiliang understood, "Since Hu Kang was brought back, he must die!"

  Changsun Wuji nodded slightly.
