Chapter 66: Xiao Na will make magic tools (two in one)
Without pop-ups, thousands of book fans watched Ma Zhou, who was confused by himself, fall into thinking again after watching him, Wukong looked at him and didn't say much, so he had eaten almost the same amount of Zhixing and Sanbaozi, and then got up to say goodbye.
"Mr. Ma, I want to go back to my room to rest first." Wukong said politely to Ma Zhou, "If Mr. Ma has anything to do in the future, I need my help, so I can come to me."
"That's it!" Ma Zhou didn't seem to have any intentions for him. He was stunned for a moment before answering, "Okay, then I won't give it to the little master. There are so many dishes left here. Wasting food will be struck by lightning. I have always cherished my blessings, so I have to stay and eat it."
Ma Zhou said so openly that he planned to stay and eat it, which made Zhixing, who was originally planning to mock Ma Zhou for a few words, choked.
Even if this guy is a bucket, at least he is a very open bucket!
After Wukong and the other two returned to Wukong's guest room, Wukong immediately stretched out his hand, "Senior Brother Sanbao, show me the information you have recorded."
"Give it to you!" Sanbaozi was prepared for a long time, so he took out a thick stack of bamboo paper from a cloth bag he carried and handed it over. Although Sanbaozi did not have any talent for intelligence work, he was still very down-to-earth in doing things. Wukong asked him to write down everything he found, no matter how big or small, and he did the same.
This stack of bamboo paper records in detail everything Sanbaozi saw and heard in the past few months, from Du Fuwei's death to the recent rise in grain prices in Chang'an City, everything is available.
Of course, there are detailed records in the rebellion between Yang Wengan and the prince, such as when Li Yuan went out to escape the summer heat, when the prince's two subordinates Erzhu Huan and Qiaogongshan went to inform him, and when His Majesty Li Yuan summoned Prince Li Jiancheng to Renzhi Palace, and when Li Jiancheng went.
There are many things, and the writing is very detailed, which is much more careful than Ma Zhou's words.
Wukong did not study history in his previous life, so he knew about Yang Wengan's rebellion, but he really didn't know when and why. After scanning the information about Sanbaozi, and adding what Ma Zhou said just now, Wukong can basically finalize the truth about the so-called Yang Wengan's rebellion.
The cause of this incident was that two subordinates of Prince Li Jiancheng, Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan, went to report to the story, saying that the prince planned to rebel with Yang Wengan. Of course, Li Yuan might not believe it at this time, after all, Li Jiancheng was famous for being kind. But immediately another foreigner Du Fengju, who seemed to have nothing to do with everyone, came to report to Yang Wengan intends to rebel.
This evidence is ironclad!
So His Majesty Li Yuan sent someone to summon Prince Jiancheng to Renzhi Palace. At this time, Li Jiancheng's subordinate Prince Xu Shimo immediately jumped out and encouraged him to occupy Chang'an, and he really rebelled. It is impossible not to say that this idea is really a scam, and the most important thing is that although this idea is scamming, the problem is that Li Jiancheng's father will definitely not be scammed.
Li Yuan was also the founding emperor after all. Even if Li Jiancheng occupied Chang'an, could he defend it?
Of course, Li Jiancheng was still brainy, so he did not listen to this trick, but honestly pleaded guilty. Then there was the most difficult thing to understand. Li Yuan sent the Siong Qing Yu Wenying to summon Yang Wengan, but Yu Wenying didn't know how to tell Yang Wengan, but the two rebelled together.
So the most funny scene appeared. The rebellious Yang Wengan couldn't even control the army under his command. As soon as he said rebellion, more than half of them ran away. The remaining army seemed to be incomplete with armor, weapons and magic horses. As a result, the Qin King Li Shimin was wiped out in less than a week, and Yu Wenying and Yang Wengan were also dead.
As a result, another incredible thing happened. His Majesty Li Yuan not only did not reward Li Shimin who had made contributions to suppress the rebellion, but instead called Li Shimin in and cursed him, saying that the emperor naturally has a destiny. Do you think you can get it by relying on your cleverness? You kid are crazy to be an emperor!
Then, His Majesty Li Yuan publicly announced that my sons were all good and the bad were temporary workers, so he killed Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan, who reported to him. Then he sent all three temporary workers, including Wang Gui, the Eastern Palace clan, Du Yan, the military officer of the Qin Palace, and Wei Ting, and the priest of the wine.
Such things may be for some later historians, such as Song Qi, Ouyang Xiu, who wrote the New Book of Tang, Liu Bing of the Old Book of Tang, Sima Guang of the Zizhi Tongjian, they would really think that Li Jiancheng wanted to rebel, but for Wukong, who was full of dark thoughts, the context of the incident was really clear.
Obviously, Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan are definitely Erwuzi, Du Fengju is definitely not Erwuzi, he is definitely Li Shimin's dead soldier. If the prince's wife Xu Shimo had not been full of straw in his mind, he would definitely be Li Shimin's dead soldier. Si Nong Qingyu and Wen Ying were the same as him.
This matter is one after another, and it cannot be said that it is almost the same. Although there are many logical differences, the final fact is that the prince’s confidant Yang Wengan rebelled, and even if Prince Li Jiancheng was confused at the time, he would have embarked on the road of rebellion.
That's right, His Majesty Li Yuan did see the truth later, but what happened? There is no evidence. What else can he do besides calling Li Shimin over and scolding him? Could he really kill his son?
Those who are good at attacking will move above the nine heavens!
This dazzling plan is in line with General Tiance Li Shimin’s usual skills!
Of course, it was not that Li Shimin had begun to kill his brothers, but that in this matter, the number of two or five boys around Prince Li Jiancheng was really there were everything from senior white-collar workers like Prince's servant Xu Shimo to Lang Zheng Erzhu Huan and blue-collar workers like Master Weiqiao Gongshan!
Damn it! The people around Li Jiancheng are almost bribed by Li Shimin. This is no wonder the Xuanwu Gate incident went so smoothly. Li Jiancheng's East Palace is already full of holes. It is not a problem with the number of Erwuzi, but a lot of people who are not Erwuzi.
The number one wise king in the world is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Of course, Li Jiancheng is also a ruthless person. When he was dealing with Liu Xiancheng, he used the name of repairing the city to gather the Hu people under Liu Xiancheng, summoned the army to surround him and bleed one by one, killing more than 6,000 people in one breath.
Can a person like this lose money if he suffers such a mute?
So, now the guards of the East Palace are now going to find fault with the guards of the Tiance Palace. If you have anything to do, they will take them to the corner of Chang'an City to fight. In the information given to Wukong by three buns, there are several reports about how many guards of the East Palace are seriously injured, or how many guards of the Tiance Palace are killed, etc.
After thinking about it, Wukong flipped forward again, then flipped back again, and said to Sanbaozi, "Senior Brother Sanbao, is it that no one cares about the East Palace Guards and the Iron Guards of the Tengce Mansion?
"One side is the crown prince and the other side is the King of Qin. Even His Majesty can't control it now. Who else dares to control it?" Sanbaozi replied, "The Chang'an County Magistrate and Wannian County Magistrate are almost worried about this period, but fortunately, these people are just fighting each other and have not caused any greater trouble."
"So where do they usually fight?" Wukong continued to ask.
"It's usually in remote places." Sanbaozi answered very smoothly. He should admit that although he has no talent for the importance of intelligence, at least he is still very down-to-earth in doing things. "For example, Zhuangyan Temple in Yongyangfang, the lower right side of Chang'an City, and the Daqin Temple near Kaiyuanmen, etc.."
"What are these guys doing?" Zhixing said, "I have to come to the monk temple when fighting in a group. Don't you know that this kind of thing can't be done in the monk temple?"
"There is no way!" Sanbaozi replied, "Chang'an has the strictest investigation of private monks. There are only four monks left in Zhuangyan Temple, and there are only four monks left. Although Daqin Temple is better, there are only a dozen monks left. There are not many people going to burn incense in these places a day. It is really a good place to fight in groups."
"This is an opportunity!" Wukong held his cheek with his hands and pondered without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Sanbao, Senior Brother Zhixing." After hesitating for a while, Wukong finally made a decision, "I have something now that I hope you can help me with it."
"What's the matter?" Zhixing asked.
"You go and find out where the East Palace Guards and the Tince Iron Guards are fighting in groups, and then spend money to hire a group of idle men. If you have nothing to do, go to these places for a walk."
"What's the use of this?" Zhixing curled his lips, "Are these soldiers and gangsters afraid of those idle men going to see when they fight?"
"So you need to go to the county government offices of Chang'an County and Wannian County, and spend some money to let the county government offices use the reason to clean up these idle men to go to these places for stroll."
"These officers went to use the eggs, and they didn't dare to catch people."
"It doesn't matter, it's just disgusting them." Wukong smiled cunningly, "But you spare the place of Zhuangyan Temple and let them go here when they fight."
"Okay!" Zhixing stood up, "It's not my money anyway."
After sending Zhixing and Sanbaozi out, Wukong took out the famous post left by Li Gang from the bag he brought and the gift he specially prepared for Li Gang. It must be said that this famous post by Li Gang is still very important to him, but unfortunately, after using it this time, I am afraid that it will not be used in the future.
After seeing the famous post, Wukong remembered something again. It seemed that Lu Fu, or Li Fu, was in Li Xiaogong's mansion in Chang'an City. Since he was here in Chang'an, he seemed to have to go and see him. No matter what, at least with his help, his plan to hoard and seal money was a great success.
By the afternoon, Wukong had calculated that when Li Gang had already returned to his home, he walked out of the inn with a tin staff and a famous post from Li Gang, asking all the way to Li Gang's mansion in Xuanrenfang.
Li Gang's current residence is no longer the one that Emperor Wen of Sui was awarded to him back then. Because that residence has been rewarded by His Majesty Li Yuan to Gao Shilian, after Li Gang entered Chang'an, His Majesty Li Yuan specially gave the current residence to Li Gang to show his favor.
It is impossible not to say that this kind of mansion is bigger than that. Shortly after Wukong entered Xuanrenfang, he could see the continuous houses inside through the wall. In front of the mansion, he seemed to be waiting for two or three guests who wanted to visit Li Shangshu.
When Wukong came over with his tin staff, before he could say a word, he saw that the servant in green clothes had already welcomed the mountain. Then he touched Wukong's little bald head very enthusiastically, and then stuffed something hard into Wukong's hand without saying anything.
Wukong looked down in confusion and found that it was actually three cents!
I'm here to cook, what are you doing?
"This little master!" Qingyi at the door was very polite. "Now there is no leftover food in the mansion. Please buy two steamed buns for this little money."
Wukong rolled his eyes at the servant in blue depressedly, then took out Li Gang's famous post from his arms, and handed it over to him, "Please inform Mr. Wen Ji, and I'll say, please see Master Daoxin's disciple Wukong!"
The servant in green was stunned when he looked at the famous post written by Li Gang in front of him. He never expected that this teenage novice monk was not here to beg for food...begging for alms, but took out Mr. Li's famous post seriously for asking for a visit.
It must be said that this scene is really a bit inconsistent!
"Okay, Master, wait a moment." After all, Wukong was holding the old man's name post, so the servant didn't dare to take the post negligently, and then went back to report it.
After a while, the servant came out again, "Little Master, please come in!"
"Have you been done!" Wukong answered politely, then smiled apologetically at the waiting people next to him, and then followed the blue-clothed servant in.
However, the servant did not lead Wukong to the direction of the hall, but led Wukong through the side hall and headed straight to the study in the backyard. Of course, this is a place that can express intimacy or be considered rude, but Wukong is really too young. If Mr. Li really meets in the hall, it will be too expensive.
When Wukong entered the study room, he saw an old man with all white hair at first sight. He was holding a book to his face and trying hard to identify where he was. After hearing the movement, the old man put down the book in his hand, then narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Wukong.
"You're Goku?"
"I am Wukong!" Before Wukong entered the door, he had already handed the tin staff to the servant. At this time, he calmly stepped forward, folded his hands together, "I have met Mr. Wenji."
"So young!" Li Gang narrowed his eyes and looked at Wukong up and down, "It is said that you have the fate of a great Buddha, and have opened up the wisdom of your past life. Is this a matter?"
"I don't know if I have a great Buddha connection." Wukong smiled slightly, "But I did realize my previous life under the guidance of my master Daoxin."
"Is that true?" Li Gang pointed to a bench beside the study with his hand, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Mr. Wenji!" After Wukong clasped himself again, he calmly sat down on the Hu bench.
"So what did your previous life do?" Li Gang asked curiously.
Wukong smiled slightly, but no answer.
"What, may you have any hidden information?" Li Gang asked with some displeasure.
Yes, you are so smart! I, I, lived in more than a thousand years in my previous life, do you think I would just talk about such an important thing?
"It cannot be said, it cannot be said!" Wukong shook his head slightly, "The previous life was not false, but the current life was not true. It doesn't matter who I was before this life, and it doesn't matter who I am in this life. Wen Jigong, you are too attached to appearances. You must know that in a moment, it will be eternal. We should still live in the present."
"What you, the little monk, said is a little bit reasonable." Li Gang nodded, "It's true that I'm obsessed with the appearance. After all, my previous life has passed. No matter who you were in the previous life, you are Wukong now."
"Mr. Wen Ji really has wisdom." Wukong immediately climbed up along the pole.
"Is Master Daoxin good now?" The conversation with Mr. Li finally got to the point.
"The teacher is still healthy. Thank you for your concern." Wukong stood up and answered sincerely.
"Yeah, it's good to be healthy." Li Gang nodded, "This person, health is more important than anything else! I'm not good at body like me."
"Mr. Wen Ji is too modest." Wukong replied, "In my opinion, Mr. Wen Ji, you are mentally sound and have no diseases now?"
"It looks like this." Li Gang sighed and said casually, "But my eyesight is getting worse every day. Now a memorial takes two hours, which is just like a blind man."
"Oh, this is simple!" Wukong patted his chest, "Although I don't have the ability to revive you, nor can I make you rejuvenate yourself, but it is not a big problem to refine a little magic weapon so that you can see clearly when you look at the things around you."
"Oh, is that?" Li Gang's tone was filled with a hint of enthusiasm, "You can refine magic weapons?"
"I just know one or two." Wukong replied modestly, "Your spirit is strong enough to show your health. The problem of eyesight is just because when a person gets older, his energy and spirit are not as good as a young man. This is a simple matter. I just need to refine a crystal mirror to make you see clearly when you look around you."
"Crystal Mirror?" Li Gang asked in confusion, "What materials are needed?"
"I don't know if there are transparent crystals in Wen Ji's mansion." Wukong rubbed his hands, "I want that kind of thorough and flawless."
