The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"I haven't seen the Holy Majesty yet. As for why the Holy Majesty made such a decision, I don't know for the time being. I think the Holy Majesty may have come to give an explanation to the brothers and sisters of Zhong County Hou." Changsun Wuji felt very uncomfortable, looking at Wei Zheng and the others After coming over, he arched his hands and responded to the starter

On weekdays, he could see Li Shimin casually, but today, it was the first time that he couldn't see Li Shimin, and he couldn't even enter the palace.

Moreover, the more helpless thing in his eldest grandson Wuji's heart was not that he could not enter Miyagi, but because of Zhong Wen, the Marquis of Miangu County.

Ever since Zhong Wen appeared in Chang'an, Li Shimin seemed to be a different person.

He basically didn't listen to some requests or advice from his brother-in-law.

The former king of a country is no longer the former king of a country.

After a while, all the civil servants and generals in the capital came to the gate of the palace city, and they were all inquiring about the Gufan mission.

At the moment, at the gate of Miyagi, there are people, carriages, and horses everywhere.

This is about to become as lively as a square city, and there is no such thing as the palace gate.

Although the civil servants and generals were somewhat at odds, and there was a big fight yesterday, but now, everyone seems to have nothing to do, you ask me a question, and I answer you.

After these generals knew about the Tubo Mission, they were very happy. At least, Li Shimin sent Li Shan to kill the Tubo Mission. This was in their favor, so it must be a good thing.

However, those civil officials seemed to have eaten a headless fly, which made them feel uncomfortable, and they just wanted to advise Li Shimin quickly so as to prevent Li Shan from executing.

……

But at this moment, the personal guard came to Wang's servant's courtyard and found that Zhong Wen was behind him, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to report.

After hesitating for a long time, the personal guard finally explained the matter in detail, which relieved him from suffering.

"Jiu Shou Xiao Taoist, what do you think of this matter? The Holy Majesty has already left Li Shan to execute the sentence. I think this is an explanation for the brothers and sisters of Jiu Shou Xiao Taoist." After Wang's servant heard this, he was not in a hurry. Then he spoke to Zhong Wen.

"Wang's servant, in your opinion, what should we do? Let them go to see His Majesty? Or is it just like that?" After listening to the narration of the personal guard, Zhong Wen basically knew why Li Shimin came to his place suddenly this morning. Why did you talk to him so much.

Li Shimin's original intention was to give an explanation to Zhong Wen's brother and sister. As for the issue of the two countries, Zhong Wen didn't know what Li Shimin thought, but according to Zhong Wen's thinking, it is estimated that Li Shimin would definitely deal with Tubo Kingdom's revenge in the future up.

"Master Nine Heads Xiaodao, you are the owner of the case, you can decide this matter, and I will forget it." Wang's servant said this, as if he had let go of the matter and left it all to Zhong Wen.

"That's fine, I'll take care of this matter." After Zhong Wen heard this, he also knew that Wang's servant wanted Zhong Wen to handle it by himself.

Perhaps there was some deep meaning in it, but Zhong Wen didn't think about it, got up, called the guard, and walked towards the gate of the palace city.

……

"It's been a quarter of an hour, so why hasn't the king's servant come out? If we wait any longer, the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom will be decapitated. Duke Zhao, think of a way." Qiao Guogong Chai Shao was eager asked Zhangsun Wuji.

"I don't know what to do. I can't even get into the palace city. What do you want me to do? Break into the palace city?" Changsun Wuji was very angry at this time. Putting together many factors, he felt that Li Shimin had left him in the cold. Generally, the fire will rise.

"Auxiliary machine, how about we break into the palace?" Sun Shunde, the eldest son of Xue Guogong who was standing on the side, suddenly broke in and said.

Changsun Shunde is the uncle of Changsun Wuji, and he is also a minister of the same dynasty, so the relationship is naturally quite good.

Although the eldest grandson's family has a great relationship with Li Shimin, if they really break into the palace, it is probably not a big deal, at most they will be reprimanded.

Besides, with Li Shimin's wife, Empress Changsun, it would not be a big problem to break into the palace, otherwise, it would be impossible for Changsun Shunde to say such a thing.

"Zhao Guogong, let's go, there are so many of us, can the Holy One really blame us?" At this moment, Xing Guogong Fang Xuanling also joined in, and said to Zhangsun Wuji.

Who is Fang Xuanling? He is a very strategic person. It is recorded in history that Fang's schemes are not decisive. From the lines, we can know that in addition to being able to plan, he also knows how to advance and retreat.

But this time, can it really be so easy to advance and retreat?

"Okay, then let's break into the palace city." Changsun Wuji looked at his clan uncle, then at the other princes present, and nodded heavily, as if he had made a big decision.

Immediately, all the princes and civil servants went straight to the gate of the palace city, making the imperial guards guarding the gate of the palace city all carry weapons and be on guard carefully.

It was the first time for these civil servants to break into the palace city, and so many princes participated in it.

Kill, can't kill.

They couldn't fight, so the imperial guards had no choice but to retreat into the palace city.

While retreating, he was also shouting at these civil servants.

As for those generals, they seemed to be watching the excitement, standing far away, watching the excitement.

……

But at this time, in the palace city, Zhong Wen and the personal guard walked over slowly.

Zhong Wen had already seen the scene at the gate of the palace city, but he didn't hurry, and walked slowly towards the gate of the palace city.

"Mr. Zhao, that Zhong is here. Why is he in the palace?" Chai Shao, with sharp eyes, saw Zhong Wen approaching slowly, and shouted at the leader, Changsun Wuji.

At this time, all the civil servants who broke into the palace had already seen Zhong Wen, and they all stopped and did not move forward.

Zhong Wen stopped after walking over, looked at these officials with cold eyes, and asked slowly to the relative behind him: "If there were shadows, what would he do to those who broke into the palace? Kill or what?"

"If the shadow is there, he should have been killed." Hearing the voice from Zhong Wen's mouth, the bodyguard felt very cold all over his body, as if he was in an ice cellar, which caused him to be killed before he replied. The sound is intermittent.

Zhong Wen got a response, and turned his head to look at the civil servants inside the gate of the palace. There was no color in his eyes, "Today I will replace the shadow guarding the palace. On the first day I take office, you will give me such a good job." To make a good show, do you want to embarrass me, Zhong, or think that you are civil servants and military generals, so you can ignore the Miyagi law? Do you know that the only way to break into the Miyagi is death?"

Chapter 382 The Confrontation between the Two Sides

Zhong Wen's words were not loud, but there was a hint of coldness in every word, which made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, making people's hairs stand up after hearing it.

The civil servants at the entrance of the palace, and the generals not far away, they were very clear about the matter of breaking into the palace.

Only, they never did.

All of them knew shadows too, and had seen shadows.

But the shadows never come to the gate of the palace city, let alone prevent them from entering the palace city. Even if something happens, when they are stopped at the gate of the palace city, they are basically handled by Li Shan or the king's servant. .

But they never thought that Zhong Wen would replace Shadow today.

Even the king's servant disappeared, which really made everyone suspect that Li Shimin was responsible for this matter.

In their hearts, they were all thinking that Li Shimin must kill those Tubo people, otherwise, he would not have pulled Zhong Wen, the county marquis, over as a shield.

Shadow is not there?

This is impossible.

The shadows seldom left Miyagi since they saw them.

Where will it be absent, Zhong Wen, the county marquis, will take over. It is obvious that Li Shimin pulled Zhong Wen over as a shield.

"Marquis Zhongxian, are you going to step in and take over?" At this moment, Changsun Wuji calmed down, took two steps forward, looked at Zhong Wen and said in a cold voice.

Zhong Wen looked at Changsun Wuji, and didn't know what was going on today. The leader was not the representative of the famous family, but the eldest grandson Wuji who was related to Li Shimin's family.

"Yue Zu acting as a substitute? I am You Sanqi's regular attendant appointed by the Holy Majesty, dare to ask Zhao Guogong, do I need Yue Zu acting as my substitute?" Zhong Wen squinted his eyes, looked at Changsun Wuji and snorted.

After Changsun Wuji heard Zhong Wen's response, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood why a seal was sent out from the palace some time ago.

At that time, I just looked at it casually, and didn't look carefully.

Now, as soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, he realized that Li Shimin's rewarded You Sanqi Changshi was actually the Zhong County Hou Zhongwen in front of him.

You Sanqi Changshi, although affiliated to Menxia Province, is different from other officials.

The reason is that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the function of the Menxia Province has been the function of an attendant in the palace, but by the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the function of the Menxia Province had become one of the three provinces.

Changsun Wuji knew very well what kind of position You Sanqi's regular attendant was, and he also knew that non-ordinary people could not hold it.

Although, the shadow hangs the Zuo Sanqi regular attendant, and Zhong Wen hangs the right Sanqi regular attendant. It can be said that the two duties of the regular attendant are completely handed over to the guards.

If it were another person, such as Wang's servant, it would be impossible to reward You Sanqi's regular servant, because Wang's servant belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because he is a eunuch, but Ying Ying and Zhong Wen are not.

No matter how many ways there are in it, although Zhong Wen doesn't know it, Changsun Wuji and other officials are very clear about it, otherwise, at this time, he probably wouldn't have scruples about Zhong Wen and rushed into the palace.

Zhong Wen's response really scared the people present back a few steps.

The left and right cavalry attendants belonged to the highest guard officials in the palace, who could decide on any safety-related matters in the palace, let alone such things as breaking into the palace.

Is Miyagi so easy to break into?

Is it true that Miyagi is a vegetable market?

The civil servants and military generals present were very clear in their hearts.

"Zhong Changshi, I need to report something to the Holy One, please let me go. If Zhong Changshi doesn't let me go, then, then I will sit here quietly until the Holy Majesty appears." Changsun Wuji had no choice but to have another Choose a detour to find a way to meet Li Shimin.

"Whether you want to meditate or commit suicide, please leave one foot away from the gate of the palace city, otherwise, you will die!" Zhong Wen didn't care what Changsun Wuji thought or what the people present, he was just doing his duty. It is his duty not to allow anyone to act inappropriately.

Zhong Wen's response came very directly.

At this time, all the imperial guards also started to act, holding weapons, and walked towards these civil officials, in order to carry out Zhong Wen's words, and let these officials retreat one zhang away from the gate of the palace city.

"Zhong Changshi, are you going to start a killing spree?" Wei Zheng shouted loudly at Zhong Wen, facing the swords of the guards.

"Massive killings? Hmph, are you worthy? The guards obey the order, and if anyone refuses to retreat, kill them!" Zhong Wen didn't care at all whether the massacres were committed or not. Defend?

Besides, breaking into the palace city is already a crime of conspiracy.

If he is really going to be killed for the crime of conspiracy, let alone him, it is estimated that the nine clans may be implicated.

No matter how radical Wei Zheng is, he also understands that he cannot do this.

As soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, the swords of the imperial guards aimed directly at the civil servants, forcing them to retreat.

But at this time, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng seemed to have an iron stake on their feet. Even if the swords of the guards in front of them were aimed at them, they still did not retreat and glared at Zhong Wen.

"Hmph!" Zhong Wen looked at the posture of the two men, and was about to resist. After a cold snort, he walked slowly towards the two.

"Retreat or not? I will give you the number of ten breaths!" Zhong Wen approached, staring at the two, whispering slowly.

"We want to see His Majesty, but if we don't see His Majesty, I won't back down!" Wei Zheng stared at Zhong Wen with bull's-eye eyes, and responded loudly.

Zhong Wen didn't speak, but closed his eyes slightly, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, waiting for ten breaths.

After ten breaths, Zhong Wen stretched out his foot and kicked the two of them.

After two "bang bang" sounds, Zhong Wen kicked the two of them five or six feet away from the palace gate, rolled to the side, and knocked down some officials behind them.

"Shame on the face, if there is another time, it will not be a one-shot." Zhong Wen looked at the two who were kicked away, and felt relieved.

"Zhong Wen, you, you, you..." At this moment, Changsun Wuji's clan uncle saw that Changsun Wuji was kicked out of the palace gate by Zhong Wen so cruelly, and rolled into the distance. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at Zhong Wen, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhong Wen's two kicks will definitely not kill the two of them, at most they will be injured a little bit, how could Zhong Wen really kill someone.

After all, these people are also high-ranking officials in this country. No matter how reckless Zhong Wen is, he still knows how to keep a hand.

Wei Zheng was helped up at this time, and after checking that there was nothing serious about him, he walked towards the gate of the palace again, as if he was going to die, even Changsun Wuji was like this at this time.

"Come on, kill the two of us if you have the ability." Changsun Wuji approached and roared angrily, completely ignoring what Zhong Wen said just now.

Zhong Wen looked at the two people in front of him, and knew that they were going to confront him forcefully.

This is what is commonly known as a lever.

Zhong Wen is not afraid.

No matter how capable the master is, Zhong Wen can handle it.

There is a saying that is good, the spirit of the gangster is great, and the spirit of the gangster will never retreat.

After Zhong Wen thought about it for a while, he ordered to the guards behind him: "Take the two of them as the charge of treason in the palace, find someone to post a notice to Quan Chang'an and send it out; I want everyone in Chang'an to know Sun Wuji, Duke of Zhao, and Wei Zheng, Duke of Julu County, spoke good words for the Tubo people, and even trespassed in the palace city, planning to blackmail the current emperor in order to achieve their goals. Nine tribes."

Zhong Wen's way of dealing with Gang Jing came so directly and so suddenly that everyone present was shocked by Zhong Wen's words as if their souls had come out of their shells.

"Yes." Although the guard was shocked by Zhong Wen's words, did he know that Zhong Wen dared to do this, which showed that this matter was not so simple, and besides, he was afraid of Zhong Wen in front of him. .

A master can make you disappear into this world at any time, how can he not dare to obey this instruction, even if he is not afraid of death, he must die as much as he wants

"Zhong Wen, how dare you!"

"Son, if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about. I must break into this palace today. Even if I die here, I will stop the killing of the Tubo mission and stop the war between the two countries."

Changsun Wuji is poor in eloquence, but Wei Zheng is not. He is a member of a prominent family, and he reads the books of sages and sages. What kind of things come to his mind, just turn around a little, and he can scold you like his ancestors. Eight generations don't know who it is.

"You are really powerful, but you will not die. If my country of Tang needs to go to Tubo as an envoy, I will personally send you to Tubo as an envoy, so that you can go to Tubo as a running dog. In this case, you can You have served the monarch of Tubo, and your name will be written in the history books." Zhong Wen praised Wei Zheng's words and said.

"However, even if my country of Tang is not going to go to Tubo as an envoy, I will send you to Tubo, because only in this way can your writing be brought into full play, so that you can educate the people of Tubo. Contribute, don't put your Confucian holy words on me, Zhong Wen, because that won't work."

What Zhong Wen said can be said to be straight to the point.

Go to Tubo Kingdom?

It is estimated that if you go, you will die.

Although not everyone will die if they go to Tubo, but in this era, people don't understand altitude sickness at all. How could it be possible to know that Tubo is located on a plateau and will die due to the reaction caused by the plateau region.

But as soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, Wei Zheng's face turned pale with fright.

He believed that it was impossible for Li Shimin to send him to Tibet, but he also knew that with Ying Ying and Zhong Wen's ability, he could definitely be sent to Tibet.
