"Life is really unpredictable, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine, especially grandma's."
The more Wu Chengsi thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He looked at the slave he had brought and raised his fingers.
"come here."
The servant quickly approached and bowed his head.
Wu Chengsi asked: "Tell me, who is more handsome, this Prime Minister or our groom?"
The slave scratched his cheek, what the hell do you need to say? What virtues do you not know about yourself? Is it possible that there isn't even a mirror in such a big prime minister's palace?
Although he thought so in his heart, the slave said: "It depends on whether you want to hear the truth or lies."
"It's interesting. You're still telling the truth, so let's tell the lie first and listen."
"Of course the prince-in-law is handsome and handsome."
Hearing the slave's answer, Wu Chengsi nodded with satisfaction. If the lie was that he was handsome, then the truth must be that he was!
He took out a few taels of silver from his arms and gave it to the slave. Wu Chengsi waved his hand: "It's none of your business. Come on down."
The servant thanked him profusely, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he was smart and not unconscionable.
He originally thought that the lie was that the prince-in-law was handsome, but the truth was that he was even more handsome than Wu Chengsi...
Wu Chengsi looks average, and his personality can only be said to be little better than that of Wu Youji. Many of his relationships are maintained by money.
If it weren't for his surname being Wu and working under Wu Meiniang, no one might have picked on him.
The servant really wants to persuade him. It is a good thing to have ideals, but there is a difference between ideals and wishful thinking...
....
After doing all this, Wu Meiniang finally settled her worries, settled the political union of Li and Wu families, and returned to Luoyang with satisfaction.
Not long after, three months later, as winter approached, a storm suddenly spread among the people!
And the target is not the current emperor, nor Wu Meiniang, but the current imperial advisor, Yuan Tiangang!
It is said that Yuan Tiangang had achieved destiny decades ago, but he knew that destiny was in place but continued to obstruct it, resulting in frequent natural disasters. Many people were unhappy and pointed their anger at him.
I don’t know who made the news, but many of the words were about the Wu family replacing the Li family.
Combined with the previous incident involving Li Tang's clan, there were more and more discussions.
It is said that when the current Queen Mother was three years old, Yuan Tiangang had a look at her face and said that she had the appearance of a dragon with eyes and a phoenix neck, and that if she were a woman, she would have the appearance of an emperor!
There are more rumors from the Sui Dynasty. At that time, some people talked about the song "Wu Mei Niang". When Yang Yong played this song, he was immediately stopped and persuaded by a sorcerer. This was a symbol of Wu's destiny!
If he plays this song and reveals the truth, he will definitely be doomed!
Yang Yong did not listen to the warlock, and finally died tragically at the hands of his younger brother Yang Guang.
And Yang Guang also knew about this. He had guarded this 'Wu Mei Niang' for many years, and had been looking for the so-called words of destiny for the Wu family. Unfortunately, he gave up after several years without finding anything.
It seemed that the outcome was destined. The Yang family's country was replaced, but it was not the Wu family, but the Li family. The Mei Niang who had been buried in Yang Guang's heart did not appear until her death.
Then there are the rumors about the current Tang Dynasty, and the rumors about Wu's proclaiming himself emperor!
This matter had been circulated in some remote places for a long time, but it was suppressed after a short time.
....
【decades ago】
During the Zhenguan period, when Taizong Li Shimin was traveling among the people, he occasionally heard a rumor that Wu was the emperor in the third generation of Li and Tang Dynasties.
At that time, Taizong became interested in this and asked carefully where he came from. However, the man said that it was told by a storyteller. They had only met him once, and they had never seen the man again, and there was no trace of him.
After in-depth investigation, Taizong received information about Yuan Tiangang, that is, Yuan Tiangang had been to the Wu family and had seen his face!
After pondering for a long time, Taizong chose to trust Yuan Tiangang and immediately sent people to block the news there from anyone who knew it! They were all imprisoned!
Then, Taizong decided to look for the person who became emperor of the Wu family alone, the so-called Wu Meiniang. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Not long after, at a banquet, Taizong and a group of ministers were drinking and chatting, and the topic of nicknames came up.
A group of officials and generals announced their nicknames one by one, making everyone fall forward and backward with laughter. Unexpectedly, when it was Li Junxian's turn, he said that his nickname was Wu Niangzi!
Li Junxian was born as a grass bandit. He was born with broad arms and a round waist. According to legend, he was powerful enough to defeat a thousand-strong force!
Such a big and thick man was called Wu Niangzi, and everyone burst into laughter.
Only Taizong couldn't laugh after hearing this name.
Li Junxian was a native of Wu'an County. At that time, he was serving as Zuowuwei General, with the title of Duke of Wulian County, and he participated in the guarding of Xuanwu Gate.
Taizong didn't want Li Tang to fall into the hands of the so-called Wu family's destiny, so he always paid attention to things or people related to Wu.
Now that I heard him call Wu Niangzi, I decided to put him to death!
At the critical moment, Wei Zheng came to make a statement and claimed that what had not happened had happened. How could he summarize it?
If the minister of humerus is allowed to die at the hands of the emperor, then is he a wise emperor or a cowardly emperor?
The meaning is obvious, Mingjun, then don’t believe those things. Dynasties will change sooner or later. What’s so scary about folk rumors?
If he is a foolish king, then you should kill him. If you kill him, the next one will be jealous.
At this point, Taizong and Wei Zheng still had a quarrel, but finally gave up their murderous intentions, but he still demoted Li Junxian's official position and let him provide for him in old age.
Several years later, when Taizong and Li Yunxiao met Wu Meiniang in Luoyang, Li Shimin actually knew the girl's last name.
Because of her appearance, Taizong had already sent someone to draw a portrait. How could he not pay attention to the fact that the person named Wu was a family member of the warrior Xun?
He didn't want to save her at first, he just wanted to watch Wu Meiniang die at the hands of those monks.
However, what those monks did made him angry!
He simply followed Li Yunxiao's words and asked him to rescue Wu Zhao.
Then, Taizong decided to go in the opposite direction and deliberately kept Wu Meiniang by his side and named her Wu Meiniang!
It was not for anything else, because he had gradually come to believe in the word destiny. He and his eldest grandson Wugou once promised before his death that if they met a talented woman, they would accept her.
Now that I have met him, he is still the Wu family. Even if it is destiny, he will continue to be a Khan for generations! How can we be afraid of it?
The series of actions that followed, including the granting of names, were all for him to create this so-called destiny with his own hands, to see if it was really as godly as the rumors said!
During this period, Taizong secretly ordered many sorcerers to calculate the destiny. Everyone's opinions were roughly the same but different.
But most of them are nothing more than flattering words and dare not openly say bad things to Li Shimin.
Just in case, Li Shimin summoned Li Chunfeng at night.
And that day, Li Chunfeng seemed to have known that he was going to summon him and was waiting at the door early!
