In the forty-third section, the middle-aged man carefully hugged the old man and said, "Dad, I said okay, tell you not to be so sad, if you do this again, I will carry you back."

That's Teacher Tang Ziou, the middle-aged man is none other than his son Tang Xuan.

Wu Ming's heart was hot. Since crossing into this world, if there is anyone who has the greatest influence on Wu Ming, it is this trembling old man. Tang Ziou is close to his prime, including the crown prince, three generations of emperors, princes and princes, and he has also stayed in the position of the owner of the Taixue Pavilion for nearly forty years. Although there were many factions of civil officials in the court, most of them were his disciples and grandchildren. If you want to say who has the most military power now, it is naturally Li Tie. But if there is anyone who has the greatest influence, it is naturally this trembling old man. In the past, although the prime minister and Li Tie fought fiercely, when they saw Tang Ziou, they still had to give way and salute. Although Tao Ren is in the position of prime minister, whenever an important official is appointed or dismissed, he always has to ask Tang Ziou first. Although Tang Ziou did not express any opinion every time, this habit has continued and has not changed.

Tang Ziou used to be just the priest of the country, but now he is also the secretary of the ministry. It seems that the previous Shangshu was also pulled off by Li Tie. Now Tao Ren is locked up by Li Tie, and Li Tie can only use Tang Ziou to calm the scene, otherwise, the civil and official system will be messed up, and it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

Wu Ming has followed the prince in the past few years, and he has not dealt with this old man. It's very much for the other party's humble and erudite demeanor. I also asked a lot of questions from the other party. Tang Ziou also did not hide his selfishness, and gave Wu Ming a lot of convenience. He stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Tang." The disciple has given you a greeting. ”

Tang Ziou rubbed his eyes and was overjoyed: "Oh, this is Wu Ming, I didn't expect to meet here." Tang Xuan smiled slightly on the side, and said in a weird manner: "Lord Wu is really busy, yesterday my father heard that you were coming, and he was so excited that he almost didn't come to greet you in person." As a result, I sent someone to the post house to see, but there was no one. In the evening, I heard that you went straight to the palace for a big feast. Early this morning, we went to invite someone again, but there was no trace of ......" Speaking of this, Yang Tian snorted haha.

Tang Ziou shook off Tang Xuan's hand, "Stinky boy, can't you say a few words?" The deceased is the greatest, and Lord Wu can rush to Lin Shangshuling as soon as possible. It is a pure heart, I am very comforted, you are flamboyant all day long, you are learning more. ”

Tang Xuan was resigned, nodding vigorously. The corner of his eyes swept towards Wu Ming, but with a smile that seemed to be nothing. Wu Ming's cheeks were hot when he saw it, and he saluted again: "I don't know what Teacher Tang is looking for a kid?" Please do not hesitate to ask. ”

Tang Ziou waved his hand and sighed: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I'll go see my old friend first." ”

Lin Yinghuan is now without bones, and what is in the coffin is only the clothes he wore before his death. The paint of the coffin is old, dull, and you can see that it is an old coffin, and the material is not very good, and it is placed alone in the middle of the lobby at this time. In the entire hall, there is now a monk singing the mantra of death. The hoarse chanting echoed in front of the empty mourning hall, adding to the desolation. Tang Ziou put on incense with Tang Xuan's support. looked at the empty lobby, wiped his eyes, and then said to Tang Xuan: "You go back today, go to Song Fushou Ji at the south gate, and replace a better coffin for Lin Shangshu." In addition, I went to the Shangshu Bureau to invite the best female musicians to come, and I wanted an eight-person group, all of which were shouting nonsense. Alas. After speaking, he frowned and glanced at the monk not far away.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the sacred land of Cangsong Pavilion, the status of Taoist priests was much higher than that of monks. Generally, if a slightly wealthy family has a mourning at home, that is, to ask a Taoist priest to do it. Only those who really can't do it, then ask those wandering monks to do the practice of dispel disasters. And the real important ministers of the court or relatives of the emperor, it must be the female music of the Shangshu Bureau, which is a great honor given by the emperor to the courtiers. Now there were not many people in this hall, and although Tang Ziou's voice was not loud, everyone heard it. Lin Xiaoshui's face suddenly flushed, and he was speechless.

Wu Ming was thinking in his heart, Teacher Tang Ziou even invited the female music of Shangshu Bureau now, and it didn't seem like he was losing power. He should still have some right to speak. But it's no wonder that Tang Ziou's influence is too great, and it is estimated that even Li Tie only has Baba's offering, and he really doesn't dare to move.

At this moment, there was another commotion outside, and the two little guys who were standing at the door just now suddenly fell down and flew away, and then a violent voice sounded: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the captain is here, what are you two still blocking at the door?" Looking for death? ”

The two little guys were pushed to the ground by each other, fell into a rut, and couldn't get up for a long time. Wu Ming was also taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw that the gate of the Lin Mansion compound had been rudely slammed open. Immediately afterward, a large group of soldiers rushed in. A silver-topped sedan chair was carried in by a large crowd of people.

In front of the sedan chair, two people rode horses to take the lead, one of them was Li Zhong, and the other was wearing a pitch-black moon armor, eight feet long, sitting upright on a horse, but there was a kind of arrogance that was not angry and arrogant. Wu Ming's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Rayfil who was standing not far from him. Sure enough, the man from Rayfil had a light in his eyes. The man was full of power, and he also saw her at the same time, got off the horse and walked over, with a smile on his face: "Fei'er, are you there too?" As he spoke, he was going to grab Rafeier's hand. Lei Fei'er glanced at Wu Ming a little uneasily, and then shook off the other party's hand with a slightly red face.

This person is none other than Xiahou Tian, the captain of the North Gate.

At this time, Tang Xuan next to him had already said in a loud voice: "Who is my Dao with such a big aura, but it turns out that Lord Taiwei has arrived." Are you two guys really, with your heads on the back of your necks? With such a big pomp, who else can there be in the majestic official sedan chair now besides being the captain of the court? Still not up yet? Yes? He was talking about the two young men in Tsing Yi standing at the door, and at this time the two of them were getting up with a disgraced face, and they dared to fight back. Hearing Tang Xuan's reprimand, he hurriedly ran over and stood behind the two of them, bowing his head and not speaking.

Tang Xuan's poisonous mouth is well-known throughout Kyoto, and the princes once privately compared "Tang Poisonous Mouth" and "Li Shameless". Although there are many teasing elements in this, the power of Tang Xuan's mouth can be seen.

At this time, I could only hear someone in the sedan chair say loudly: "The fact that the eldest prince Tang is here really makes the old man overjoyed." The voice was sharp, like a thin thread, and it made people uncomfortable. He said that he was overjoyed, but there was a half-overjoyed meaning in his tone.

Two people who looked like family members had already trotted forward, and one of them respectfully opened the sedan curtain. The other person smiled, bent down to catch a hand that poked out of the sedan chair, and then carefully helped the other person out of it. The old man suddenly looked around, and a pair of narrow eagle eyes shot a striking gaze. Although he was not very tall, standing there, he had a taste of Yue Zhi Yuan. Wu Ming was swept by him, but his heart was cold, and he had a feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake, he hurriedly collected his mind and looked back at the past lightly.

This person is not an outsider, it is Li Tie, the captain of the dynasty, the famous "Li Shameless".

Li Tie swept over everyone. His eyes paused on Wu Ming, and the surprise on his face flashed, as if he didn't expect Wu Ming to be here. Then he naturally swept over and fell behind Tang Ziou, who was aging Long Zhong. He smiled slightly, and said to the family who was supporting him: "Ah Li, who pushed the descendants of the Tang Mansion just now." The two family's faces changed dramatically, and they looked at each other. Then they knelt down in unison, kowtowed again and again: "Lord Taiwei spare your life, Lord Taiwei spare your life!" ”

Li Tie smiled slightly and put his hands behind his back: "So, you two have made a move, right?" Each of them cut off one finger as a punishment. ”

When the two family members heard this, their faces showed joy. He gritted his teeth, then took out the small dagger from his arms, and raised the knife in his hand. I could only hear a soft "poof", and the two little fingers had already rolled from the hands of the two and fell to the ground. Blood flowed out like a fountain and flowed down the hands of the two of them. The hands of the two of them were suddenly painted with bright red patterns, which was shocking.

Li Tie nodded, and said lightly: "You two go down first, and bandage it yourself." The two housekeepers kowtowed gratefully, then retreated, and hurriedly bandaged them.

After dealing with these things, Li Tie strode over, smiled at Tang Xuan and said, "Tang Gongzi, are you still satisfied with the old man's disposition?" Tang Xuan is a scholar after all, looking at the bloody little finger, his face is a little pale, and there is still leisure to raise the bar with the other party. Li Tie didn't care about him, glanced at Wu Ming, and then saluted Tang Ziou and said, "Tang Shangshu." ”

Tang Ziou "snorted" from his nostrils, but did not answer. Li Tie didn't think it was wrong, turned his head to look at Wu Ming and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, because I wanted to welcome the envoy from Beimeng yesterday, I didn't greet him, and I hope that my lord is not strange." ”

He was above board, admitting that he had gone to meet the envoys from the north yesterday. But this is not a big secret, Wu Ming will also know sooner or later. He stepped forward and saluted: "It's an eventful time now, Lord Taiwei is even more in charge, and Beimeng is the great enemy of our dynasty, and it is related to the sword and soldiers of the two countries." Lord Taiwei is dedicated to saving the court from the suffering of swordsmen, and he is a model for my generation, how dare he blame Taiwei. ”

The irony in these words was very obvious, and Tang Xuan even chuckled. Li Tie's face was like a spring breeze, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Wu can think like this, it is really a blessing for my dynasty." Tomorrow, I will convene hundreds of officials to discuss the rebuilding of the new dynasty in the north and south, and I originally wanted to go and inform Lord Wu in person after participating in Lin Shangshu's ceremony, but since I met it, I saved my effort. ”

Wu Ming was stunned, almost suspecting that he had misheard. Is this Li Tie so good? When he also convened hundreds of officials to discuss the reconstruction of the new dynasty in the north and south, he couldn't help but look at Tang Ziou suspiciously. Tang Ziou coughed, nodded and said, "The old man has already drawn up a charter for this matter, and Lord Taiwei has also agreed." I came to you yesterday to refine the first draft of the agenda. ”
