Before you know it, it's May.

In May last year, Emperor Taizong died. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

With the assistance of the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang and other old ministers, the former crown prince Li Zhi has also secured the throne.

Li Zhi was very fortunate to have a group of old ministers who assisted Emperor Taizong and were loyal to him.

Whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji or Chu Suiliang, they are all people with outstanding talents and abilities. Li Zhi didn't even need to bother much, as long as he followed the rules formulated by Emperor Taizong back then, Xiao Gui Cao was enough. What's more, Taiwei Changsun Wuji is still his uncle, so he naturally has nothing to say to him, he is loyal, and he does things with all his heart.

However, Li Zhi is also very sad.

Emperor Taizong is too good!

is so good that no matter what Li Zhi does, someone will subconsciously compare him with Emperor Taizong.

And the eldest grandson Wuji and others adhered to the rules formulated by Emperor Taizong, and never allowed anyone to change and waver.

After the Tang Empire experienced the rule of Zhenguan, its national strength became stronger and stronger.

But at the same time as it is strong, a powerful interest group is also quietly forming.

The military system, which made the Tang Empire extremely powerful, became more and more out of place with the growth of national strength. Of course, Li Zhi also saw this, but he was powerless. No matter what kind of changes he wanted to make, the eldest grandson Wuji and others were resolutely opposed. This also made him ascend the throne for a year, and although the throne was stable, it gave people the feeling that he was in power.

This also made Li Zhi's heart very uncomfortable.

Jisi Day is the anniversary of Emperor Taizong.

As early as March, Li Zhi decided to worship Emperor Taizong at Chongsheng Temple.

These days, the Inner Ministry and Zongzheng Temple are operating at this time. In May, the entire temple was renovated and cleaned. The Ministry of Internal Affairs even sent a large number of people to investigate and rectify the monks of Chongsheng Temple, and once they found that there were people who were indiscriminate, they would be expelled to ensure that there were no accidents in the worship ceremony.

And in the first three days of Jisi Day, the entire Chongde Fang began to be on alert.

In the past, the Wuhou and Fangding, who were responsible for maintaining law and order, were all replaced by Jin Wuwei, and soldiers and horses were stationed around the Chongsheng Temple.

Everyone knows that the emperor is coming!

The residents of Chong Tak Fang have also become extremely excited, looking forward to it day and night, waiting for their day to come.

However, some people are happy, and some people are angry and sad.

The people of Jidu Lane are very unhappy.

Because Jidu Lane and the mountain gate behind Lingbao Temple face each other across the river, in order to prevent accidents, Chang'an County ordered all the residents of Jidu Lane to move out and bulldoze Jidu Lane. So much so that today's Jidu Lane has become flat.

The horizon has become much wider.

On the ruins of Jidu Lane, a team of Jin Wuwei was stationed.

With a gloomy black face, Yu Chi Baolin walked to the gate of the camp and looked at Lingbao Temple.

"Why are you stationed here, there is a Buddhist temple separated from Chongsheng Temple, in case something happens, it's too late."

"This is the order of the guard, what can be done?"

"Why can those five fools of the Cheng family be stationed in Chongsheng Temple?"

"This ......"

The 'five fools' in Yu Chi Baolin's mouth are Cheng Yanjin's five sons.

Cheng Chuhei, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chucun and Cheng Chuli. Among them, Cheng Chuhei, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi are the daughters of Cheng Biting Jin's step-room Qinghe Cui, that is, born to Mrs. Cui. The Cui clan of Naqinghe is one of the seven families with five surnames, and it is a well-known family in the Central Plains. And Cheng Chucun and Cheng Chuli are a little pitiful, they are Cheng Biting Jin's concubines, but they are actually concubines. The two of them are older than the three of Cheng's heirs, but their mother does not have a prominent family background.

The biological mother of the two of them was Cheng Yanjin's original partner, that is, the third daughter of Sun Lu'er, the county commander of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately died early.

After Cheng became famous, he married the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe.

With the name of Qinghe Cui's family, the three of Cheng Chu's heirs became concubines, while Cheng Chucun's two became concubines.

Fortunately, the relationship between their brothers is very good, and there is no brotherly estrangement like other families.

In addition, Cheng Yanjin also has a son named Cheng Jun, who was born to a concubine.

The entourage smiled bitterly: "Who let that Cheng Chuxia be the person next to His Majesty?" ”

This Cheng Chuxia is Cheng Jun.

He is about the same age as Cheng Chuli, and he once worshiped the East Palace, and followed Li Zhi when he was still the prince.

It's called the Dragon's Skill!

Yu Chi Baolin closed her mouth, and it took a long time before she held back a sentence viciously: "It's just that old rammer is too capable of giving birth." ”

The attendant sneered, and quickly covered his mouth again.

Yu Chi Baolin can say that, he can't.

Moreover, Cheng Biting Jin is capable of being born, and Wei Chigong is indeed inferior to Cheng Biting Jin at this point, with only three sons.

"Forget it, let everyone be refreshed, tomorrow Your Majesty will come to worship the first emperor, maybe you will pass by here.

Don't be compared to the five dogs of the Cheng family, if anyone dares to embarrass me face, after it's over, he will pick his skin. ”

"Whoa!"

The entourage hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Yu Chi Baolin sighed and turned to return to the camp.

At this moment, a man walked in the distance.

He rode a horse, followed by a white-headed calf, and shouted from afar, "Is it a turtle?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin's face changed, and she walked a few steps quickly and shouted: "Su Jixiang, I warn you, I am Yuan Yu, not a turtle." ”

Someone has already arrived in front of Yu Chi Baolin.

He jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Old Hei, don't be angry, I have a heavy accent, and you don't know." ”

"Thief, mom, you did it on purpose."

Yu Chi Baolin was not really angry, and only scolded the other party.

"Su Qingjie, it's a night ban now, why did you run out again?"

"I'll look into the case."

"Investigating the case?"

Yu Chi Baolin was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a big night, what case are you investigating?" Besides, what identity do you investigate? ”

"It's the appointment of the county lord and me, and I have a pass token."

As he spoke, Su Qingjie took out a waist card and shook it twice at Yu Chi Baolin.

"You said that you are the son of the dignified Zuo Wei Zhonglang General, and you can choose a lot of future, what kind of case are you investigating."

"I like it."

"Okay, if you like to investigate the case, what are you doing here?"

Su Qingjie said: "Discuss something, I'm going to stay with you, you won't object." ”

Yu Chi Baolin raised her eyebrows, pulled Su Qingjie to the side, and said in a low voice: "Lion, let me tell you, don't mess around." Tomorrow, Your Majesty will come to worship the first emperor, and if you cause trouble, your father will be implicated. ”

"What can I mess with?"

Su Qingjie said: "Don't worry, I just stay here with you and won't cause trouble." ”

"Really?"

"My words count."

I think that at the beginning, Su Qingjie and Yu Chi Baolin almost fought in Tongshanfang, and they also made a feud.

However, everyone was a teenager, and later there was a fight on the edge of the Kunming pool. Although Yu Chi Baolin lost, she did not hold a grudge against Su Qingjie because of this. On the contrary, he and Su Qingjie have become friends, and when they are fine, they will get together.

"Then you come with me, remember, don't make trouble for me."

"Rest assured, I'm not like that."

If another person said this, Yu Chi Baolin might believe it.

Kesu Festival...... Although he and Su Qingjie have known each other for a short time, they can be regarded as understanding.

This guy is a bold man, and he is adventurous in his bones, which is completely different from his father Su Dingfang's steady temperament.

If it was someone else, Yu Chi Baolin would definitely refuse.

But Su Qingjie's words, he thinks, there will be no problem.

"Okay, don't cause trouble."

"Long-winded, why is there so much nonsense."

"Lion, tell me honestly, what do you want to do?"

"When you talk about investigating the case, why don't you believe it."

"What kind of case are you investigating, you want to hide in my barracks?"

"I can't tell you now, but when it's right, I'll tell you.

But don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, I just want to borrow your territory and spy here. ”

"Surveillance?"

"Okay, okay, don't ask so much, it's annoying."

Yu Chi Baolin is older than Su Qingjie, but in front of Su Qingjie, she seems to have no confidence.

It's no wonder that these second generations are all arrogant. People who don't have the ability, no matter how much they have an identity, they won't look up to it. Because, no matter how much identity they have, they can't compare to them. Even if the children of the Li Tang royal family provoke them, they are not ambiguous; But if you have real skills, even if you don't have any status, they will accept it. Of course, if you have an identity, it's easier to fit into their circle.

In short, this is a group of unattainable groups in the eyes of outsiders.

But within them, everything depends on their ability to speak.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Su Qingjie is, Yu Chi Baolin will not take it to heart.

Who made him unable to beat Su Qingjie? At the beginning of Kunming Pool, Su Qingjie beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, and he obviously had spare strength.

This also made Yu Chi Baolin have special respect for Su Qingjie.

It was past the hour, and the night was thick.

In the Taiwei Mansion, the lights are still bright.

The eldest grandson Wuji is fifty-six years old, but he is still in good spirits.

After he finished his official duties, he did not go to rest immediately, but took a few entourages and came to the west courtyard of the back house.

"Huaiyu, why haven't you slept yet, and climbed onto the roof?"

On the roof of the west courtyard, there stood a majestic boy.

Hearing the shouts of the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately jumped down and landed silently.

"Uncle Wuji, I'm practicing on it."

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, looked up at the roof twice, and said with a smile: "Can you still practice on the roof?" ”

"Yes."

"Huaiyu, you are really diligent."

The eldest grandson Wuji said, reaching out and patting the arm of the scared young man.

No way, the boy is too tall! The eldest grandson Wuji is not low, nearly six feet (184 cm), but standing in front of the boy, he is much shorter. Visually measuring the height of the young man, when he was six feet six inches, he was almost a head taller than the eldest grandson Wuji.

He was a majestic man, like a bear.

In particular, he has a pair of long arms, like a gibbon.

His face is slightly blue, but his appearance is very heroic, not too ugly.

Listening to the praise of the eldest grandson Wuji, the young man grinned.

"Uncle complimented me, I'm just used to it."

This young man, named Qin Huaiyu, is Qin Qiong's son.

After Qin Qiong's death, Qin Huaiyu was ostracized by his brother and was almost kicked out of the house.

What happened to him was just learned by the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji was also born in Jiangmen, and his father Changsun Sheng died of illness in his early years, and he was also excluded by his brother and clansmen, and he depended on his sister for his life. Qin Huaiyu's experience made him seem to see himself when he was a teenager. So he found Emperor Taizong and implored Emperor Taizong to be the master, and arranged Qin Huaiyu to be the lord of the army.

Qin Huaiyu's mind is not very bright, and he is a little stupid.

But he knows the good and the bad, so he is very grateful to the eldest grandson Wuji and regards him as a relative.

Early this morning, he was found by the eldest grandson Wuji. But the eldest grandson Wuji has been busy until now, and he hasn't even seen him.

Qin Huaiyu was not angry, but was very leisurely alone in this West Cross Courtyard.

"Huaiyu, let's go to the house and talk."

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he motioned to the servants to guard the outer door of the West Cross Courtyard, and then went straight to the room.

Qin Huaiyu agreed, and followed closely behind the eldest grandson Wuji.

"This is your weapon?"

When entering the house, the eldest grandson Wuji saw a stick placed at the door.

The stick was neither gold nor iron, and the whole body exuded a jade color.

He stretched out his hand suspiciously, trying to pick up the stick, but his face suddenly changed.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is a scribe, he was born in Jiangmen after all. It's not as strong as Cheng Biting Jin's people, but it's not too bad compared to ordinary people.

But he couldn't pick up the stick.

"Well, it was left to me by my father when he was alive, and I don't know what it was made of."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog!"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and didn't ask.

He walked into the room and motioned for Qin Huaiyu to sit down as well.

"Huaiyu, do you know why I brought you here?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, then let me tell you, I have a very important task for you, would you like to take it over?"

"Yes."

Qin Huaiyu didn't even ask what the task was, so he agreed.

His attitude also made the eldest grandson Wuji very satisfied.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of the first emperor, and His Majesty will go to Chongsheng Temple to worship the first emperor."

Qin Huaiyu sat in front of Eldest Sun Wuji, listened to his words carefully, and did not open his mouth to interrupt Eldest Sun Wuji.

"But I got the news that someone wanted to make trouble that day."

"Who? I'm going to kill them. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but laugh when he heard Qin Huaiyu's words.

"Huaiyu, with your words, I am relieved."

He stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside.

Turning back, the eldest grandson Wuji said, "Listen, I don't need you to kill anyone."

Tomorrow, I will take you into the palace to meet Your Majesty. When the time comes, I want you to stay by His Majesty's side and keep him safe. ”

"Good!"

"Don't be in a hurry to say okay, your task seems simple, but it's actually important.

I want you to never leave Your Majesty! Whoever asks you to leave, you don't have to pay attention. Anyone who wants to harm His Majesty, you just have to take action, and you don't have to have any scruples. Huaiyu, I want you to remember that anyone who endangers His Majesty will be killed. ”

Qin Huaiyu nodded vigorously and said, "Don't leave an inch, whoever wants to harm Your Majesty, no matter who it is, will not be merciful." ”

"Yes!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said, and lowered his voice again, "Even if it's King Wu, as long as he has the slightest movement, I will kill him." ”

"Even if it's King Wu, you don't have to show mercy."

Qin Huaiyu did not hesitate and repeated the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

This also made the eldest grandson Wuji very satisfied, he stood up and said softly: "It's not early, let's rest early."

At three or two o'clock, I will send someone to find you. When the time comes, you will enter the palace with me. That's it, I'll go back and rest first. ”

"Uncle, rest early."

Qin Huaiyu sent the eldest grandson Wuji out of the west courtyard, and then turned around and came to the door of the room.

He reached out and picked up the nearly three-meter-long stick, rounded it in his hand, and slashed it down, revealing a bright smile.
