Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 328 Superstition
"It's all the same!" Liu Qi said with a smile: "The strong man in white is nine feet tall and holds a golden knife in his hand. It's true that your name is in it, but my surname is also Liu. Until the end, no one knows who this is. Right? Everyone gambles with their lives. Heaven is not desirable for intelligence, but if it is destined, even if there are one or two young people, can they still change their fate?"

"That's true!" Liu Weili sighed.Before the Confucianism of the Song Dynasty was rationalized and philosophized, the Confucianism established in the Han Dynasty had a very strong theological and mystical tendency, especially the interpretation and prediction of the destiny, which was extremely valued.Its performance is that the study of prophecy and weft is prevalent. From the emperor to the great Confucianism, down to the common people, they all learn from omens, the relationship between heaven and man, yin and yang and the five elements, especially prophecy, which is extremely valued.Although it gradually declined after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the books of prophecy after the Liu and Song Dynasties were also banned by successive dynasties, and only a few fragments survived, they still have a very high appeal among the people.The two nursery rhymes that Liu Qi just said were very popular in Hebei, Henan, and Guanzhong areas. Many people interpreted them as Liu's Dangxing, which is why he participated in this conspiracy.

"So you don't have to worry too much!" Liu Qidao: "Then Wu Xiaoyi went to Pingkangli first, obviously to go to his teacher to prepare for the funeral. This person is so filial, if he really wants to come out, why wait until now?"

Hearing Liu Qi's comfort, Liu Weili breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that as you said, as long as we work together, people from home and abroad will respond?"

"Hehehe!" Liu Qi laughed: "Brother Zai Li still doesn't believe it, so let me tell you about it? Do you remember the person who met me in Hu Temple in Xishi that day? Yes, where did I get that bag of gold tongbao that I gave Xiaoyi back then? And have you forgotten where I came from?"

"Hmm!" Liu Weili's expression softened when he heard this: "I just think that the world is peaceful today, and it doesn't look like something big has happened?"

"The emperor suffers from wind disease, the prince is young, the state affairs are entrusted to the queen, and the Qi's family is not a big family. Most of the important officials and clans have been killed. This is called peace?" Liu Qi sneered: "Why do you think Li Jingye has to take the risk? Is the risk of genocide involved in this matter?"

"Why?"

"If the empress dies suddenly and the emperor is ill, who is the important minister in the court who can take care of him?"

Liu Weili's complexion changed drastically. Among the important ministers left by the Zhenguan Dynasty, after more than ten years of purges and strife since Gaozong ascended the throne, only Li Ji remained. Send the big event to his house.If the empress died suddenly, the normal operation would be to add officials to the prince's mother's family to support it, but the Wu family was a poor family at that time, and there were no outstanding talents.Then the only option is to ask Li Ji to come out of the mountains to assist the crown prince. At that time, Li Ji's veterans from the four dynasties have left him alone twice. A rising tide lifts all boats, it can be said to lie down and win, and the win is numb.

"It's no wonder that this guy, as the leader of the nobles, still participates in such things?"

"This person is Yuan Benchu's brother, Cao Mengde, a first-class figure, and he is a chaotic person, so what's so strange!" Liu Qi sneered: "Chang'an has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many people like Li Jingye. Chai Mandi, why talk about peace?"

"What Brother Seven said is true!" Liu Weili was completely convinced when he heard this, "Then what if Xiao Yi's assassination attempt fails?"

"Don't be afraid if it doesn't work, I still have plans!" Liu Qi sneered and said, "Don't worry, the queen is assassinated, the first person to look for is definitely not you and me!"

Jin Ren asked the mansion.

"On the Qianqiu Festival, Li Jingye invited you to his house as a guest!" Jin Renwen handed over a famous assassin.

"Thousand Autumn Festival? What day is this?"

"It's the Son of Heaven's birthday!" Jin Ren asked, "Every year on this day, the Son of Heaven will go out of the palace to have fun with all the officials and common people!"

"He, Li Jingye, is also a courtier, doesn't he need to participate?"

"Of course after the emperor's banquet!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "I heard that the concubines of the Li family are as beautiful as those in the palace. Sanlang, you don't have a female waiter by your side. Would you like to go and see? Li Jingye is still very generous in this regard. of!"

"Forget it, I'm going to Baekje soon, and I'm going to bring a concubine, so I'm in trouble!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hands again and again, and now he only wants to have as little relationship with Chang'an as possible, especially this ambitious Li Jingye, who can't wait to never I don't know him, how could I go to his banquet?

"Then I will reject him!" Wang Wenzuo's reaction was as expected by Jin Renwen. He patted the assassin and said, "By the way, you are going back to Baekje. If you have anything to buy, Chang'an two It can be said that the department stores have all these, so take this opportunity and buy them all at once!"

"What do you want to buy?" Wang Wenzuo frowned. There were too many things he wanted to buy, but he couldn't think of them for a while. Jin Renwen saw him like this and smiled, "Forget it, we will go to the two cities together if we have time." Let’s take a stroll, it’s just a way to relax!”

"That's great!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "But Brother Renshou, you are busy with work, can you spare time?"

"Busy with official duties?" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "Sanlang, do you remember what official position I am?"

"Left leader, General Wei!"

"Yes, what is this official position for?"

"It seems to be the imperial guard, the soldiers of the Shangfan government or something?"

"Associate in charge of the imperial guards, people from Sheshengfan in the outer palace, as well as assistants in the west of the imperial city, as well as the gates of the capital and Yuancheng!" Jin Renwen mumbled, "That's what the Ministry of War said, but when I go out At that time, who is in charge of these things?"

"It must be someone else?"

"Hehe!" Jin Renwen laughed: "Sanlang, let me teach you to be good. I, the left-leading army general, is real when I go out of Beijing. I'm a hypocrite in Chang'an. I don't have any official duties! As long as I don't touch In military matters, no one cares about me!"

It turns out that the pinnacle of the military generals in the Tang Dynasty was the General of the Sixteen Guards. At the top, there were vain positions only for the clan and nobles. Jin Renwen was one of the Generals of the Left Leading Guards. Among the Generals of the Sixteen Guards, Except for the four guards who command the remaining 4 guards, the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards (Nanya Forbidden Army), the remaining 12 people usually only lead the military mansions across the country, but in fact the local mansions are in charge of the military mansions. Lieutenant Zhechong, these 12 people really have an army to command only when they go out to lead the army.Like Jin Renwen, although in name he has a lot of responsibilities to assist in the management of the imperial guards, the people in the Sheshengfan of the outer government, the assistant to the west of the imperial city, and the gates of the capital and Yuancheng, but in fact these things have a lot of responsibilities. For the specific handling of officials, unless the emperor specially issued an edict to appoint him to deal with these matters, his unauthorized intervention will only lead to the impeachment of the censor.

"Grand officials have no military power, and junior officials have no status. Isn't this the Tang version of the system of size?" Wang Wenzuo thought to himself.
