The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 55

Wang Kui of Taihang Mountain sent a letter to Jingzong in Tokyo City to plan

But Xu Jingzong said, seeing Wang Kui's full promise, he said: "You know everything about the court now. Master Wu thought that the sage would be passed on to him, but because Master Di repeatedly obstructed it, everyone was held hostage by him. Now think about it." There is a clever plan, I want you to go to Taihang Mountain, invite Li Feixiong, and discuss important matters with him. If Lord Wu wins the world, I will be the founding father of the country, and you will not lose the position of Marquis. But this has a lot to do with it. Or if you get exposed, your life will be lost. Not only will you suffer alone, but even me and Master Wu will not be able to go there. Therefore, I will discuss with you and leave immediately, and we will have to come and go within a month." Wang Kui said: "What am I talking about, this matter It doesn't take much time. This place is only a thousand miles away from Huaiqing Mansion. The adult knows the foot strength of the villain, and he can return to Beijing in at least twenty days. Li Feixiong has received the kindness of the adult, and the villain went to inform him He, this matter is only a matter of fame and wealth, so there is no reason why he should not allow it." At that time, the master and servant stopped discussing, Xu Jingzong immediately took out 1000 taels of silver and ordered him to use it as travel expenses.Wang Kui said: "Why do you need to spend this money? You only need one or twenty liang, and you can use it. The rest are stored in the mansion, and you will receive rewards after you have made meritorious service." Go to the Taihang Mountains.One day in Lufei, I have reached the foot of the mountain and was about to go up the mountain. I ordered my young men to inform me. Suddenly I heard the sound of a gong, and they lined up. Hundreds of soldiers came out, each holding a knife and gun, blocking the way.He only heard a loud cry: "You are so bold. You are not filial when you go to the front of the mountain! Hurry up and send the money to buy the road, and I will let you go there." Wang Kui laughed and said, "You dogheads, Wu Zhu didn't go blind, and dared to ask grandpa for money, lest you would give it to me instead!" Those minions scolded in unison: "You bastard, don't want to mess around, if you don't give it away, I will wait Do it!" Wang Kui said: "If you want to do it, I'm afraid you don't have the guts. Go and tell Li Feixiong that there is a Wang Kui in the city who is coming to see you, and let him go down the mountain to see me." The group of soldiers saw him and said that he had left the village. Knowing the Lord's name and surname, he was not an outsider. He drove four or five small bosses up the mountain, and said in his mouth: "Children, hello, this is my family." Saying that, he flew away.In a short time, I saw a horse flying from the top of the mountain, and shouted loudly from a distance: "Could it be Brother Wang who came? Brother Yu is late to receive you, and the children have offended Hu Wei, and offended you a lot." Wang Kui looked up and saw that It was Li Feixiong, who hurried up to greet him, and greeted him: "I have been separated for a long time, and I am here to visit Baoshan." My brother is not in the middle of the capital, why did you come to the barren mountain? Is your spirit good?" Wang Kui said: "The villain is here because of his instigation. This place is not a place to talk. Let's talk about it in the mountains." Li Feixiong led the way at that time Passed by a soldier and a horse came, let him ride, and led the way by himself, passed the three wooden cities, and then arrived at the meeting hall.

They greeted each other and sat down, then ordered someone to bring tea to wash Wang Kui's dust, then set up wine and food, and the two sat down.

Wang Kui said: "Little brother is here. Congratulations to elder brother. You want to be a top official." For some reason, Li Feixiong said hurriedly, "Why did you say that? Brother Yu is an outsider. His crimes are heinous. If you are not an adult, you survived your life, and you have been a ghost with a sword head for a long time. How can you still want to be an official? Isn't this a joke?" Wang Kui said: "Your brother doesn't say anything, how does my brother know? It's just because the prince is far away from Fangzhou. Empress Wu wanted to pass on the throne and successor, but because Di Renjie was in the court, everything was blocked, so I specially ordered my younger brother to come and ask my elder brother to come to Beijing to discuss this matter." Li Feixiong was originally a desperado, after hearing this, he naturally Very happy.At that time, he said: "It's not brother Yu boasting, even that big knife is amazing. Since Mr. Xu has been promoted so much, why not go? I will leave tomorrow with my virtuous brother." Now the two of you, you decide what to do, After a swig, the banquet was over.Then he took Wang Kui to the front and back of the mountain to play for a while, and took the weapons, food and grass for a week, and it turned out that there were enough soldiers and food.Wang Kui said: "My brother has such a good place, and he is also a prince outside the Huaihe. Wouldn't it be enviable for one person to monopolize this mountain without restraint? If he succeeds, he will be rich and famous. He is indeed a hero." Li Feixiong saw Wang Kui Congratulations like this, especially happy smile, very proud.In the evening, he called the leader, his name is Chudonghu Zhao Lin, although his ability is slightly inferior to Li Feixiong's, his two square hammers are not inferior to others, except for the village owner, he is the leader in the mountain.At that time, seeing Wang Kui going up the mountain, he knew something was going on, so he went to the meeting hall immediately.Li Feixiong said: "Brother Yu must go to the capital tomorrow, because the two masters, Xu and Wu, have important matters to discuss. Please ask the virtuous brother to take care of the business for a few days. Afterwards, brother Yu will go back to the mountain. At that time, the virtuous brother will definitely be useful." Then he told Zhao Lin about Wang Kui's intention.This generation of strong people, how can they know the king's law, but they are very happy when they hear that Wu Chengsi has won the sky, and then he can be an official.One night had passed, and the next morning Li Feixiong took Panchuan, hid his weapons, and went down the mountain with Wang Kui, looking for the capital.The two were heroes originally, with fast feet, they arrived in the capital within a few days.When they arrived at Xu Jingzong's mansion, Wang Kui first ordered him to sit down in the inner hall, and then he came to the study, but by chance he told him that there was something to do in Wu Sansi's mansion, so he had to order someone to arrange for Li Feixiong to go to Wu Sansi's mansion without anyone notifying him. Enter the study.When the three of them saw him coming back, Jingzong hurriedly asked, "How are you going? Did Li Feixiong come with you?" Hearing this, he was very happy, and then said: "My lord, please go back, it will be even better if you can bring this Li Feixiong, and wait for the next official to test it." Xu Jingzong said: "Since your lord wants to test him , but order him to come, the lower government is afraid that the place is too narrow, and it is easy to get out of the wind, living here, the eyes and ears are much less." Then he said to Wang Kui: "You go back, bring Li Feixiong, and say that Emperor Wu I personally ordered him to live in the mansion to wish." Wang Kui took the order and left, and after a while he brought the big man and walked in.

Wu Chengsi looked out, he was nine feet tall, purple-red face, two thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes, big nose bridge and wide mouth, about forty years old, strode up to the eaves, said to Xu Jingzong: "Little man!" Li Feixiong, pay your respects to your benefactor!" He kowtowed and went down.Wu Sansi couldn't help praising: "What a hero! Are you Li Feixiong?"

Xu Jingzong said: "This is the emperor's relative Wu Sansi, and you will see me." At that time, Li Feixiong had finished his salutes and stood in front of the eaves.Xu Jingzong first asked Wang Kui when he came to the mountain and walked for a few days on the road, and then said to Li Feixiong: "This court calls you to come here. Wang Kui has already mentioned all the things you need. Do you dare to do it?" " Fei Xiong said: "The villain has been honored by the lord to save his life, and the emperor Wu's relatives have promoted him so much, so there is no reason why he should not do it. But I don't know when the lord will start the incident, and how to arrange everything. I have to give instructions before we can follow it."

When Wu Chengsi and Sansi saw him agreeing, they hurriedly said: "If you are able to do this, I will give you a great future. But the military uniform and banner must follow the Luling King, and then order other magistrates to believe it. I don't know. How many helpers are there in Rushan? If you want to go down the mountain and start an army, where should you attack first?" Li Feixiong said: "The villain has just arrived here, even though he has a whole body of skills, he can only fight with a knife and fight to the death. I want to decide my luck. I need some advice from your lord." Wu Sansi said: "In this case, let's rest overnight later, and follow the plan tomorrow." At that moment, Wang Kui took him out of the study, and there were already family members from Wufu who came to take care of him.Sansi ordered the cook to prepare a first-class banquet for Feixiong.That night, Xu Jingzong was invited to discuss it.First draw up a call, according to the tone of the king of Luling, saying: "The lonely family is the eldest son of Gaozong, the heir of the world, and he is collectively called Zun, and he is in charge of the government. I was relegated. I asked myself, deeply regretted, and hereby ordered Li Feixiong, the owner of the Taihang cottage, to lead the army to conquer the rebellion, to restore the unification, and to determine the name. All the prefectures and counties I passed by will pay attention to the wind and pay the money to welcome them. Subjects, respect the emperor directly. If you fight against the king's teacher, you will be a rebellious minister, break through the city, and beheaded without pardon. Let this be announced!" The three drafted this draft first, so that they can be delivered before sending troops. So that the local officials can use this as evidence to inform Empress Wu.Then he drew up the style of the banner, what order to use, where to enter the army, and where to station.The two of them can't agree until after the fourth drum.

When he came back from court the next day, Wu Sansi said to Xu Jingzong: "Although Li Feixiong has this ability, the lower officials have never seen it, and I feel deeply regretful. If you want him to perform it, I wonder if he will agree?" Xu Jingzong said: "This matter It's not difficult, just order him to come." Immediately, Li Feixiong was called to the study, pointed to a peak stone in the courtyard and said: "My lord ordered you to take on this important task. If you don't start the performance here, how will the Emperor Wu know? What are your means? Can you lift this peak and stone?" Li Feixiong wished he could sell all his abilities to him so that he could admire him. It's not difficult to lift the peak stone." As he spoke, he took a few steps, and when he reached the front, he rolled up his left and right sleeves, put his right hand on his waist, took a T-step with both feet, stretched out his hand, and first pulled the peak stone outward. pile.Leaving the ground, I saw my body bent, palms down, and as soon as I spoke, I saw a pair of hands lifting a stone as tall as a person.Walked back and forth once.Then when it was in place, it was gently arranged again.Wu Chengsi couldn't stick out his tongue, and hurriedly said: "I have seen many people with great abilities. I have never seen such a god-like strength. From this point, we can know his martial arts." The two praised each other for a while, then set up a table of food and drink in the study, and invited Li Feixiong to sit down.

Feixiong hastily resigned: "What kind of villain dares to sit with the emperor? I dare not do this. Wherever you are assigned, the villain will do his best." Wu Chengsi said: "This is to plan for a major event in the world. In the past, Gaozu of the Han Dynasty wanted to use Han Xin, but he went up to the altar to pay homage to the general, and now a certain hero is invited to send troops, and this is the meaning of this seat, so why be stubborn and humble." Xu Jingzong also ordered him to sit up.

Li Feixiong saw that everyone was like this, so he had to apologize and sit down.After drinking for several rounds, Xu Jingzong gave him the banner he had planned, and then Wu Chengsi sent [-] gold and ordered him to bring it back as food and salary.

Li Feixiong went back to the mountain early the next time and sent troops to revolt, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
