Turbulent Times Chapter 102: Zimo was arrested (fourth update)


(The fourth update is here, and I would like to thank you for the rewards of "me on that day".)

Madam Gao is the most famous female talent since the founding of the Sui Dynasty after the Northern Qi royal family, and she is no stranger to officialdom and court affairs.

Changsun Sheng has always respected her very much, he has nothing to hide from her, and he often discusses with her when encountering important matters.

Eldest Sun Wuji stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Madam is right, this Wang Junlin is only twenty-six years old, and he has made such achievements in this short period of nearly a year. And at his age, It is extremely rare to do things so calmly, with sophistication and thoughtfulness!"

Madam Gao covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Master seems to value Wang Junlin very much."

"Well, this son is both civil and military, and he is indeed talented."

"Since this is the case, has the master ever thought about other things?"

Chang Sun Sheng was startled, turned his head to look at Mrs. Gao in surprise, and asked, "Other things? Ma'am means..."

Madam Gao held Chang Sun Chen's arm and sighed softly.

"Shinu is nineteen years old this year, and he has grown up. After all, he needs someone to support him. When the master is around, Shinu doesn't have to be afraid of anything; but one day, if the master and his concubine die... who can help him? Talk? Although the concubine elder brother has some abilities, he is not from the eldest grandson's family after all!"

Shinu is the baby name of Mrs. Gao's biological son and eldest grandson Wuji, and Mrs. Gao's elder brother Gao Shilian is also a famous official of the generation. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty in the original history.

People in this age like to give their children Buddhist nicknames or baby names. For example, Changsun Wugou is called Guanyin Maid, while Changsun Wuji is called Shinu, who prays for the protection of the Buddha with trees.

Changsun Sheng is not stupid, he immediately recognized the meaning of Mrs. Gao's words, and nodded solemnly.

Wang Junlin and Changsun Wuji walked through the corridor and came to the garden of the central courtyard. In early summer, there were still some flowers in the garden waiting to be released.

Not long after dinner, it is a hot season in the capital, people like to cool off in the yard after dinner, Changsun Mansion is no exception.

At this time, in the garden, occasionally a girl's silver-like laughter could be heard, which suddenly made the garden a bit more lively.

"Brother, brother!"

Wang Junlin heard a childish cry, so he followed the sound.

But he saw a six or seven-year-old girl riding on a branch of a cherry tree, excitedly waving at Wang Junlin's eldest grandson Wuji.

Holding a branch of bright red cherries that seemed to be ripe, she shouted excitedly: "Look, brother, the cherries are ripe, the cherries are ripe!"

Changsun Wuji followed the voice and immediately looked worried.

"Guanyin servant girl, come down quickly, it's dangerous!"

After speaking, he walked forward quickly, letting the little girl sit still while walking.

But the little girl didn't seem to hear it, she was still waving her arms excitedly, especially when she saw Changsun Wuji running towards her, the little girl thought her brother liked the cherries she picked herself, and she seemed even happier.

Crunch!

At this moment, the branch suddenly trembled and made a weak cracking sound.

Changsun Wuji saw that the situation was not good, so he spread his legs and ran towards the cherry tree without caring about his appearance. But when he walked around the pond and was about to reach the tree, he heard the little girl screaming "Ah", the branch broke, and the little girl fell from the tree.

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed drastically, and he ran forward desperately, but although he had already obtained the true inheritance of his father's divine archery, he was busy studying since he was a child, and did not build a foundation for his body, so he was just a He was just a literati, even if he tried his best, he couldn't get up to speed, and he was already screaming in panic.

However, just as he yelled, Wang Junlin had already passed by him, and a tiger pounced on him. At the last moment, he hugged the little girl, and the two fell to the ground. , but Wang Junlin rolled over and vented his strength, and stood up again holding the little girl.

"Guanyin maidservant, Guanyin maidservant!"

Changsun Wuji shouted the girl's name loudly, and the maidservant who had just been sent by Changsun Wugou to wash the cherries also ran towards this side.

On the green grass, Wang Junlin helped the little girl up, and said in a warm voice, "Little sister, are you alright?"

The little girl stared wide-eyed, and suddenly burst into tears. She was so frightened by the sudden incident just now that she forgot to cry. Seeing Wang Junlin at this time, she seemed to feel a sense of security, but she seemed to know who Wang Junlin was, so she burst into tears immediately.

Changsun Wuji ran over in a hurry, hugged the little girl, looked left and right, saw that the little girl was not injured, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Holding the little girl in his arms, Changsun Wuji repeatedly comforted him: "Guanyin maidservant is good, Guanyin maidservant does not cry!"

The little girl was fine, after crying twice, she curled up in Changsun Wuji's arms, and looked at Wang Junlin curiously.

Wang Junlin's image at this time is a bit of a mess, he is dressed in a white robe, which is already dirty.

The little girl suddenly laughed out loud, the delicate dimple of pear blossoms and rain, the little girl of six or seven years old actually showed a bit of charm because of this smile.

"Little brother, eat cherries!"

She still held the branch of cherry in her hand, and handed it to Wang Junlin.

Wang Junlin was startled, then smiled, took the cherry from the little girl's hand, and ate it casually.

The little girl's smile became even brighter.

"Brother Wang, this is my sister's eldest grandson Wugou, thank you for saving me just now, Wugou was not injured."

When Wang Junlin heard this, his pupils shrank involuntarily!

This little girl is the eldest grandson Wugou?

In the original history, there were many very powerful women during the Tang Dynasty, not counting Wu Zetian, the most famous one is the 30 volumes of "Women's Rules", which has influenced the code of conduct for Chinese women for more than a thousand years Empress Wende's eldest grandson Wugou.

The first empress in history to have an independent posthumous title was Wei Zifu of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, until Tang Gaozu’s wife, Dou, all queens had only single-character posthumous titles. The word "Zhong" is the so-called "cong posthumous posthumous title". For example, when Tang Gaozu came to the throne, he pursued Empress Dou as "Empress Mu", and after Tang Gaozu died, he combined his posthumous title as "Empress Taimu". However, Empress Changsun was given the posthumous title "Wende" by Li Shimin directly after her death.

According to the Spring and Autumn Etiquette, a single posthumous posthumous posthumous title is positive, but double posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles are not. There are countless famous ministers and virtuous ministers, but there are very few people with this honor.

The two posthumous titles of "Wen De" of Empress Changsun are both beautiful posthumous titles, especially the word "Wen". Chinese dynasties have all believed that "Wen" is the best posthumous title, and "there is nothing more beautiful than that". Even among the beautiful posthumous titles, there is no posthumous title that is more beautiful than Wen. It can be seen the grandson Wugou's Shengde.

Among them, the most famous one that has been passed down through the ages is "Court Service and Admonishment".

Once when Li Shimin returned to the palace, he scolded very angrily: "I will kill that bumpkin when I find a chance in the future!"

Empress Changsun asked, "Who offended His Majesty?"

Li Shimin replied: "Wei Zheng often humiliates me in court."

Empress Changsun confronts her furious husband. There was neither any incitement or submissiveness, and no daring to speak out. She made a strange move, temporarily ignoring her husband, retreating to the inner room, and changing into a formal court dress. Then go up to her husband to congratulate her. Li Shimin was very surprised and asked his wife's intentions. Empress Changsun smiled and replied: "I heard that the monarch is enlightened and the ministers are upright. Now Wei Zheng is upright and speaks out because of His Majesty's enlightenment. How can I not congratulate him!"

Li Shimin turned his anger into joy after hearing this, and then paid more attention to Wei Zheng.

Many people in later generations knew this story, and Wang Junlin was no exception. Even Wang Junlin was extremely curious about such a woman, and even admired her.

But he never expected that he would see himself so soon, and meet him in such a way.

My heart was full of emotions, but Wang Junlin just had a strange look in his eyes, and said: "So it's sister Wugou, didn't you scare me just now?"

Changsun Wugou's pink face showed a blush, he huddled beside Changsun Wuji, nodded lightly, hummed, but didn't speak again, obviously remembering that Wang Junlin is the people The poisonous uncle who said he was very fierce was a little scared.

Wang Junlin took a careful look at Changsun Wugou, thinking that no matter how powerful and virtuous Changsun Wugou was in history, she is still just a naughty and active little girl now, and now with him, Wang Junlin Will the grandson Wugou marry Li Shimin? So as to become a generation of virtuous queens?

With a strange thought in his heart, Wang Junlin cupped his hands and said, "Wuji, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore. Maid Guanyin, please behave yourself in the future, and you can't climb trees."

"Yeah!" Changsun Wugou obediently agreed.

After returning to Wufu Tea House, Yu Zimo hadn't come back yet, but Zhan Peng sent someone back to report that Yu Zimo was staying overnight with his second uncle. This was normal, and Wang Junlin didn't care.

After reading the news that Sun Wentao had inquired these days, Wang Junlin practiced the unnamed exercises for a while, and then went to bed early. He will go to see the Sui Emperor tomorrow, and he must maintain a good mental state.

There was nothing to say all night, in the early morning of the second day, Wang Junlin, dressed in the uniform of a military officer, and with four guards, left Wufu Tea House on a blood-maned horse and headed for the imperial city.

Just as he walked to the gate of the teahouse, he saw Zhan Peng galloping towards him with a guard on horseback, and immediately there was a dead body. .

Seeing this, Wang Junlin's expression changed slightly, his heart sank, and he asked sharply, "What happened?"

"My lord, Master Zimo was taken away, and Siwa Chen was beaten to death by them." Zhan Peng said in a panting voice with red eyes. Chen Siwa was a guard who followed Zhanpeng and Yu Zimo last night.
