(This volume is actually the manuscript of Chapter 5: Sacrifice Two Days Later and Liu Shilong’s Style. It is about three people discussing the sacrifice. It was revised many times. In the end, it was greatly compressed because the rhythm was too slow. Ten thousand
The writing was compressed to more than 3,000 words, and many scenes were directly changed to narration. After the change, the pace was much faster, but the character portrayal was weak, and the story background of Taiyuan was also faded a lot. The only way to have peace in this world is to sacrifice it.
One of them. If you are interested, you can take a look. If you are not interested, browse the directory and skip.)
(1) The kindness of women
Wang Wei and Gao Junya wanted to kill Li Yuan. This matter can only be described in history books as a short paragraph. But in the actual historical scene at that time, the two people must have discussed it many times in private.
Dancing Horse can guess the topic of the current conversation in the main hall.
It is understandable that Wang Wei and Gao Junya want to kill Li Yuan. After all, they are Yang Guang's confidants, and they came to Taiyuan to supervise under Yang Guang's orders.
If Li Yuan really rebels, both of them are guilty of negligence, and turning their heads is a minor crime.
As for Tian Shenjun, he could just ignore the matter and ignore it, so why bother to get involved in a situation where he is destined to die?
As an enthusiast of unofficial history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I experienced the major events in the late Sui Dynasty and it is impossible to say that I didn’t feel a little restless.
On the premise of ensuring that he can survive, Wu Ma certainly wants to witness every event recorded in the history books with his own eyes and see the details that are not mentioned in the history books. However, judging from the current situation, history is more than a little distorted.
According to history books, Tian Deping was a man who knew current affairs.
Before Jinyang launched the army, Tian Deping saw that something was not right about the situation and was about to suggest Wang Wei and Gao Junya investigate the recruitment matter. However, the rebel activist Samurai Yun persuaded him to give up decisively.
Later facts showed that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were somewhat foolish. Tian Deping, on the other hand, became a counselor in the General's Mansion established after Li Yuan raised his army, and they never saw each other again.
Dancing Horse then looked at Tian Deping in front of him. It was obvious that he was deeply involved in the matter, and he was running towards the guillotine for the great Sui Dynasty.
"Now that things are inconsistent with official history, the endings of Wang Wei and Gao Junya may not be what the history books say. I must not take it for granted and think that my life is definitely not in danger."
Thinking of this, Maima's slightly calm mentality became more tense because the rain festival was finally ruined in the official history.
The voices of the three people in the main hall were not loud to begin with, and the dancing horses were far away. They sounded vague and indistinct, and they barely uttered a few words.
He thought for a moment, then steered the gray snake towards the direction of the three of them. The pulling force behind him became tighter and tighter, as if a spring came out of his own body in the secret room behind and grabbed the gray snake.
"No...you must listen to what they are saying."
After walking forward for seven or eight meters, it was difficult to move an inch.
Fortunately, at this distance, the voices of the three people talking gradually became clearer.
Just listen to Wang Wei say: "Tian Canjun used blood as a sacrifice this time to detect that Li Yuan must have rebellious intentions. It can be said that he has made a great contribution. I will definitely report to the saint to ask for your merits in the future. You will be promoted to a high position and you will rise to the top. It will be just around the corner."
Dancing Horse thought to himself, it turns out that this is what you did by sacrificing me.
Whether Li Yuan has any objections will become clear just by who he arranges to lead the troops. Why see blood?
Tian Deping said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I am promoted or not. I just want to be loyal to the Lord -"
"Then I won't tell the Holy One,"
Wang Wei handed over his hand and said, "Tian Canjun has a noble demeanor, a breeze on his sleeves, and his fame is deeply hidden. It is really admirable."
Tian Deping said hurriedly: "It's not important to be promoted to an official position. It's not bad to honor the ancestors..."
Gao Junya on the side took advantage of the opportunity and said: "We have taken credit for the contributions of the living people. How can we forget the sacrifice of a strong man? After the event is completed, the contribution of the young gentleman in the secret room must also be mentioned."
"Li Yuan's knife has been placed on his neck,"
Wang Wei has been particularly annoyed recently by Gao Junya, who often cannot understand the situation, so he speaks in a much louder voice.
"What do you care about the merits of the sacrifices of the deceased? I usually think that your mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not like those who do big things. Nowadays, the anti-thief force is strong, and we are walking on thin ice every step of the way. How can you still be so virtuous?"
"Is it possible for a loyal person to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
Gao Junya said: "If Thief Li hadn't recruited his troops with deceit and deceived others, and the situation was already established, how could I have allowed you to do evil and practice this witchcraft?"
As he said that, he turned to look at Tian Deping.
"In two days there will be a rain prayer meeting, and I agree with the preparation of the second blood sacrifice at the meeting.
But we agreed in advance that there are two things we must do -
First, in addition to dealing with Li Yuan, the ghosts and gods invited by the blood sacrifice must also pray for heavy rain so that the people in Jinyang who have suffered from long-term drought can taste the nectar and moisturize the dry land.
The harvest has been good so far. The second..."
"second,"
Tian Deping quickly took over Gao Junya's words and said:
"When you sacrifice, do you want to give the little brother in the secret room a good time so that he can suffer less punishment? General Lang has told you many times, so I naturally understand."
"You must also promise me," Gao Junya said: "After the blood sacrifice, this young man's soul will be able to rest in peace, and he will not become a lonely ghost, nor will his body and soul be destroyed, and he will not enter reincarnation."
"The kindness of women."
Wang Wei snorted coldly and cast a disdainful look at Gao Junya.
Wu Ma listened for a long time and only caught one sentence - "In two days there will be a rain prayer meeting."
Time is really short.
(2) The savior of the horse dance - grassroots cadre Liu Shilong
Wu Ma felt that all these years of watching the unofficial history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were in vain. And the blood sacrifice carried out by Wang, Gao and Tian was also a bit inexplicable.
According to historical records, Wang Wei and Gao Junya actually guessed that Li Yuan was going to rebel through clues (note).
But what Wu Ma saw was that Wang Wei and Gao Junya used sacrifices to drain Wu Ma's flesh and blood, and then they were sure that Li Yuan was planning to rebel.
And he also plans to perform another sacrifice to drain the dancing horse completely.
Regarding praying for rain, this is not what the official history says.
The Book of Tang says that Jinyang has been suffering from drought for several months, so a rain praying conference was held. Wang Wei and Gao Junya planned to set up an ambush at the rain praying conference to kill Li Yuan.
There is no mention of sacrifice in the history books.
The so-called rain prayer meeting was not completed. Otherwise, Emperor Li Yuan would not have been able to do it.
As for the reason why it didn't happen, it was because there was a traitor on Wang Wei and Gao Junya's side, an official smaller than Sesame—Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township in Jinyang County.
Thinking of this, Wu Ma's spirits perked up - yes, since Liu Shilong is a traitor, he must often be walking around the county magistrate's house.
"We must find a way to find him."
It's time for the mayor to show up.
Grassroots cadres should run more errands and show up more in order to be close to the masses.
The most important thing is that there are only two days left before the sacrifice. If Liu Shilong doesn't show up, the horse dance will have to go to hell again.
Then I heard Tian Deping say:
"The two of you are staying behind. I wonder if the location of the rain prayer meeting can be determined. I am humble enough to prepare in advance."
Wang Wei said: "Gao Langjiang and I were arguing about this matter before. Now there are two places to choose from, one is Jinci Temple, and the other is the altar in Jinyang Township——"
"Of course Jin Temple," Gao Jun said elegantly: "Jin Temple connects the Qi vessels and reaches heaven to hear. Only by praying for rain in Jin Temple can the gods hear the voices of the people."
"Pray for rain? Is your brain broken?"
Wang Wei was so angry that his hands shook,
"The head of Jin Temple is close to Li Yuan, and the others have not attracted him.
Once we want to take action, we need to redeploy our troops. What should we do if we are exposed?"
Gao Junya said: "Sacrificing human beings is an act that harms the harmony of heaven and earth. Only by doing more good deeds for the common people can we feel at ease and offset our sins.
If you don't solidify your conscience, how can God grant you your wish?"
"If God could see his conscience," Wang Wei pointed his finger in the sky, "Li Yuan's head would have been chopped off long ago."
Gao Junya opened his mouth, as if he remembered something, and after a while he replied: "There are no people of ours in Jinyang Township."
Wang Weidao: "Then develop one - I specially invited Jinyang Township Mayor Liu Shilong today."
The dancing horse was hidden not far behind Wang Wei. Hearing that Liu Shilong was really coming, he secretly thanked Wang Wei.
He also thought: even if Liu Shilong came here, he would probably be talking in the front hall, and I would not be able to reach him here anyway.
He endured the pain of pulling and moved forward little by little.
"This... is not very appropriate," Tian Deping said: "What we are discussing is responsible for everyone's wealth and lives. This Liu Shilong is a novice after all..."
"Nowadays, there are Li Yuan's informants everywhere in Jinyang, and no one is talking about it." Wang Wei said: "Who is in the same boat with Li Yuan is obvious. Only this Liu Shilong, I have come into contact with him several times, he is an upright man, and he is right to the Holy Emperor.
He is also loyal - I have tested him openly and secretly, and I am sure he can win over him."
Tian Deping said: "Li Yuan is so powerful now, even if Liu Shilong is sincere, he may not dare to go against him."
"The power of sweeping away evil is great, and it goes straight to heaven."
Wang Wei cupped his hands and headed in the direction of Daxing City, "After this is accomplished, he will become famous and prosperous, and he will be famous forever. I am not afraid that Liu Shilong will not be tempted. Isn't that why Tian joined the army?"
Tian Deping waved his hands repeatedly, "In this humble position, I just want to be loyal to my master——"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and quickly added:
"Of course, if the counter-rebellion is successful, it will be best if you have some help from adults."
Gao Junya sneered: "I don't know if we can cross the Li Yuan river yet——
If Liu Shilong is also a guest of Thief Li, the county magistrate may decide to offer a higher price."
Wang Wei stroked his beard and said nothing, seeming to make some sense.
"This is easy to handle," Tian Deping said: "When Liu Shilong comes, let's not talk about praying for rain. How about testing it with words to see what Liu Shilong is thinking before making a decision?"
Wang Wei smiled and said: "You are so smart."
After hearing this, Wu Ma thought to himself: I don't know if these three loyal ministers will become officials, but they are certainly not stupid. The village head Liu Da was born at the grassroots level and should be all-rounded. He can hear the wind and rain, but he doesn't know if he can tell the true story of these three.
Come up with the words.
Just as he was thinking about it, the guard outside announced that he had arrived——
Liu Shilong, the mayor of Jinyang Township, Jinyang County, is here.
(Recommendation vote~Recommendation vote)
————————
Note: It is not very accurate to say that there are clues. In the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Yuan thought about the military affairs, and anyone with good eyesight could see it.
The most important thing is that Li Yuan is recruiting troops. The purpose of recruiting troops is to deal with the rebellious Liu Wuzhou who raised the flag in Mayi not long ago. But the scale of Li Yuan's recruitment is too large, and there is no need to deal with the small Liu Wuzhou.
What is particularly questionable is that Li Yuan handed over the management of the army he recruited to three people, two of whom were criminals who were evading military service. This clearly showed that he ignored the laws of the Sui Dynasty.
All in all, at this time, Wang Wei and Gao Junya were already in a state where everyone was drunk and I was sober, or in other words, everyone was awake and I was drunk alone.
(three)
Not long after the guard made the announcement, a middle-aged man in a green robe slowly walked in from the door, wearing an official hat with two wings on his head. The tips of both wings were pointed upward, which looked a bit funny.
His eyes are not big, but his eyes are very alert. He looked around before entering the door.
The dancing horse moved forward while observing Liu Shilong. Seeing his clever appearance, he felt a little reassured.
He thought he might be able to watch a good show - Wang Wei wanted to win over Liu Shilong, but he didn't know that Liu Shilong had already eaten a full banquet of Jin cuisine from Li Yuan, and his belly was white.
Poor Wang Wei looked around Jinyang County, old and young, and found that all those with high official status and some reputation had basically taken refuge with Li Yuan. In the end, he could only take the mass line and develop the revolution from the township level.
Li power.
There is nothing wrong with the grassroots line.
The problem is that there are countless township chiefs in Jinyang County, but Liu Shilong is the one who has been favored by Li Yuan.
So, what is going to happen should be:
Wang Wei and Gao Junya approached Liu Shilong to discuss countering the rebellion, but Liu Shilong turned around and rebelled.
After Liu Shilong entered the hall, Wang Wei welcomed him with a smile, offered him a seat at the end, and introduced everyone in the hall to him one by one.
Liu Shilong was polite and said:
"I wonder what the commander-in-chief has to say when he summons his subordinates."
Wang Weidao said: "I have always heard that Chief Liu is diligent in official duties in Jinyang Township. He is well-versed in everything, has outstanding political achievements, and is deeply loved by the people. Recently, someone has talked to me about your kindness, saying that you are loyal, civilized and military.
He has both political integrity and talent. Since it is obvious to all that Mr. Liu is a talented person, I would like to express my gratitude to the Holy Lord and put him to good use with you."
"The county magistrate praises me, praises me."
Liu Shilong looked as usual, cupped his hands and replied:
"As an official, Shilong only wanted to share the worries of the Holy King, and never had any hope of rising to prominence. I knew that my virtues were insufficient and my talents were lacking, so I worked hard for fear of betraying the Holy Lord. As for the saint mentioned above.
Shilong is afraid that his abilities are limited and he will live up to the high hopes of the county magistrate."
The dancing horse had moved forward more than two meters at this time. After listening to Liu Shilong's words, he knew that this was an old slippery man.
Wang Wei said: "Gems are hidden in mines, and pearls are hidden in gravel. They can be hidden for a while, but they cannot be hidden for a lifetime. The talent of a world-famous person can be seen by the world and praised by everyone. Why should you be humble?"
"A long time ago,"
Wang Wei cupped his hands toward somewhere,
"I recommended you to Duke Tang. I originally planned to ask Duke Tang to report your achievements to the court, ask for credit for you, and support you."
As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly, "I originally thought that with Duke Tang's qualifications, as long as he was willing to recommend you, the court would be able to reuse you. But I didn't expect that although Duke Tang said that although you have outstanding abilities, you are from a humble background and have very little qualifications.
It takes a lot of experience...it's a pity, it's a pity."
Wu Ma immediately understood - Li Yuan was the hereditary Duke of Tang and was the top leader in Taiyuan. Naturally, the Duke of Tang was referring to Li Yuan.
The twists and turns in classmate Wang Wei’s belly do have some tricks up their sleeves.
He arranged Li Yuan's words in a way that was neither exaggerated nor excessive. It was both complimentary and derogatory, and was reasonable and not like deliberately slandering. It was more realistic and could be included in the textbooks of official sayings.
Since ancient times, destroying people's futures is like blocking people's wealth, taking away people's wives, and cannibalizing people's flesh and blood.
If Liu Shilong hadn't gone to Li Yuan's house for dinner earlier, he would probably hate him to death now.
At this moment, Liu Shilong showed the qualities that a rural cadre with many years of experience at the grassroots level and a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty should have -
He was stunned for a moment, then turned red and said:
"Old thief Li Yuan bullies people too much! It's in vain that I treat him respectfully, always sing praises to him, and follow his orders in every possible way. It's unfair for a dog and rat to treat me like this. I'm really... I'm really..."
As he spoke, he gnashed his teeth and looked resentful, wishing to gnaw his bones and eat his flesh.
The dancing horse was moving forward. Hearing these words, he almost ducked his waist - if he still had a waist now.
The dancing horse couldn't help but want to applaud. Wang Wei's move was very clever. Although Liu Shilong's reaction was half a beat slow, his counterattack was firm and his angle was clever.
Liu Shilong had probably known for a long time that Wang Wei, Gao Junya and Li Yuan were not getting along, so now he turned the topic to them, deliberately arousing Liu Shilong's resentment towards Li Yuan. The two of them must have some conspiracy against Li Yuan, and Liu Shilong was needed to do it.
.
So what Liu Shilong said is very interesting.
He expressed his surprise at Li Yuan's refusal to recommend him, his disappointment at the hopelessness of promotion, and at the same time firmly stated that he and Li Yuan were not in the same trench.
The implication is obvious - Lord Jun Cheng, if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly.
Wang Wei glanced in the direction of Duke Tang's Mansion, "Head Liu must be careful what he says..."
"I only said this in front of the county magistrate,"
Liu Shilong looked around the three people in the hall and whispered:
"The people here are all loyal and upright people, so why should we be taboo? Besides, you don't have to be respectful to these three monsters if you stay behind."
Liu Shilong stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Li Yuan's mansion,
"He, Li Yuan, is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit and holds a high position, but these three thieves may not be loyal to the Holy One. I have heard people talk about it recently, saying that Li Yuan's recruitment of troops is very large, which seems to be very counter-intuitive.
Why don't the county magistrate go to the court and find out that he has ulterior motives and intends to rebel, so that he can't eat anything and walk away!"
Wu Ma thought about it and must applaud Township Chief Liu's performance.
——————————
Note: Logically speaking, the mayor of the Sui Dynasty was such a sesame official, so small that he didn’t even have a high rank. If Liu Shilong wanted to get acquainted with Li Yuan, the probability was almost close to the probability of hitting someone by throwing a flower pot from the twentieth floor.
.
The one who got hit must happen to be a high-ranking official.
But sometimes things in the world just don't make sense.
Because of the introduction of Pei Ji, a famous pimp in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, Liu Shilong and Li Yuan met by chance.
In terms of personal style and ambition, Li Yuan, who would later become the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was ten thousand times more powerful than Wang Wei, who failed to put down rebellions and did nothing.
Liu Shilong finished the whole meal of Jin cuisine and boarded Li Yuan's pirate ship without looking back.
No, it should be said that it was the aircraft carrier Wude bound for the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
According to the history books, Liu Shilong later followed Li Yuan and became a minister of Honglu, Taifu, and Shaofu. He was also named Ge Guogong, with an official rank ranging from the third rank. Today, he is the top official of the national ministries and commissions, and a senior official.
Senior officer.
If you don't count the fact that he was later sent to Lingnan for his crimes, Liu Shilong was still in the right boat.
(4) Dancing horses will never sit still and wait to die.
Wu Ma really wanted to give a thumbs up to what Liu Shilong blurted out——
Li Yuan's recruitment of troops was on a large scale, with the intention of raising the flag. At this time, many people in Jinyang City had already speculated privately. As Li Yuan's opponents and monitors, there was no reason that Wang Wei and Gao Junya could not guess it.
Liu Shilong must have thought of this meaning.
Simply, he took the initiative to bring up the topic and lured Wang Wei to tell him the following words and many plans to deal with Li Yuan.
After detecting the enemy's situation, Chief Liu can sell the information as soon as he goes out.
Moreover, this information is very valuable, a word worth a thousand dollars, and one day it can be replaced by a founding hero, a third-grade official.
"oh?"
Wang Wei's face flashed with joy, "Do you have any proof?"
Liu Shilong said: "As long as you stay behind and give me some time, I will secretly send people to investigate and collect, and I will definitely be able to catch Thief Li."
Wang Wei was about to say something.
However, Tian Deping hit the table angrily and said angrily: "A mere township official dares to slander Duke Tang. If you don't want to live, don't implicate us and others."
"this……"
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, "Why should Tian Canjun be so harsh? It's not like Township Chief Liu believes that Mr. Tang is plotting rebellion... He's just complaining."
Tian Deping said: "Everything must be supported by evidence. This person is talking nonsense. Just because Tang Gong refused to support him, he took revenge for personal gain and slandered important officials of the court. This shows that his morals are corrupt, his character is bad, and he cannot be used in a big way."
No matter what Liu Su thinks, Tian is ashamed to be in his company."
Wang Wei and Liu Shilong were confused.
The dancing horse in the distance figured it out.
He secretly thought that something bad was going to happen this time. If he really wanted to drag Liu Shilong into the ship of counter-rebellion, Tian Deping would never say such cruel words.
Instead, you should follow Wang Wei's wishes, follow the temptations and lead you to the right path.
Then, there is only one possibility——
Tian Deping must have noticed something wrong in Liu Shilong's performance, so he suddenly interrupted Wang Wei's rhythm.
This is not a good sign.
If under Tian Deping's warning and reminder, Wang Wei also became vigilant, and Liu Shilong finally left with nothing, the dancing horse would inevitably be made into Jin cuisine, served on the altar, offered to the sky with the wind, and turned into dew.
"I can never sit still and wait for death."
After some movement, the dancing horse was only two or three meters away from Liu Shilong, and the huge pulling force behind him kept pulling him.
This huge force seemed to be exerted directly on the mental level, making Wu Ma feel that there was an invisible, cold hand, pulling hard on the nerves, almost breaking them.
With every inch he advanced, the pain from the dancing horse became more intense, much more terrifying than in the secret room just now.
He was about to faint from the pain.
But Wu Ma knew he couldn't retreat.
Every step forward brings more hope for life.
Once you retreat even half a centimeter and enjoy the pleasure of less pain, it will be like letting go of your grip on the edge of a cliff, giving up all your strength, and you will surely fall into the abyss, with no bones left.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, getting closer and closer to Liu Shilong, and then thought about how to tell Liu Shilong the message.
Judging from the previous sound transmission experiments between Wu Ma, Yan Xiaoliu and Wang Tiedan, others could only hear the first two words of what I said.
This is far from enough.
Dancing Horse has too much information to reveal——
A rain-praying meeting. The conspiracy of Wang Wei, Gao Junya, and Tian Deping to "defeat" the rebel trio. Evil sect's sacrifice. Li Yuan's rebellion will be unlucky.
The most important thing is that there is a living person lying in the secret room in the backyard who will be used as an animal and carried to the altar.
How to condense such a large amount of information into two words...
Suddenly I heard Liu Shilong pointing at Tian Deping and glaring angrily:
"Jun Cheng, don't listen to this man's nonsense. If Tang Gong really has any objections, he can join the army as a small soldier, and the boat can be easily turned around. He can stay and go as he pleases, without fear of being implicated.
The county magistrate has a high position and he either raises the flag with Li Thief or is implicated by him, so it is better to strike first..."
"presumptuous,"
Tian Deping stood up and cupped hands with Wang Wei and said:
"If the county magistrate still allows this person to continue talking nonsense, please forgive his humble position and rudeness. He will be taken down and put into prison for interrogation to see where he borrowed the courage to slander important officials of the imperial court."
"Under the cover of the nest, are there any intact eggs?"
Liu Shilong glared at Tian Deping,
"If Thief Li really raises the flag of rebellion, does Tian Canjun really think he can escape... Furthermore, when it comes to official positions, you are only a small soldier. How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the county magistrate."
Tian Deping said: "Some people don't even have a grade, but they can spit shit and spit in the sky. What should I be afraid of?"
"That's all,"
Wang Wei seemed to notice something hidden in Tian Deping's words. He rolled his eyes, pretended to be a peacemaker, and waved his hand:
"We are both officials in Jinyang and work together, so why should we be so unhappy?
That being said, Shilong will go back first and wait for the good news.
I will definitely do what I promised you."
Although Liu Shilong looked dissatisfied, he looked at Tian Deping angrily and opened his mouth several times, but finally stood up, handed over his hands and planned to leave.
At this time, Dancing Horse Kankan rushed to an inch behind Liu Shilong's head.
Seeing that Liu Shilong was about to leave, Wu Ma jerked away, leaned forward an inch, and penetrated into Liu Shilong's head in one breath.
Resisting the state of being about to faint, Wu Ma shouted with all his strength:
"Kill Li Yuan! Wang Wei... wants to kill Li Yuan!"
________________________________________
Extra, please note again:
Regarding the nickname "Three Ru Thieves" given to Li Yuan by Liu Shilong, it is indeed recorded in "New Book of Tang" that "Li Yuan's style has three Ru thieves."
Ancient people always had some inexplicable auspicious ideas that people today can't imagine. In other words, there were always people who liked to arrange weird and weird visions on emperors. From today's perspective, some visions are closer to genetic mutations. For example, Liu Bang had a
Seventy-two moles, as if they had been shot by a machine gun.
I don’t know if Lu Pheasant, Bo Ji, and Mrs. Qi have trypophobia. Anyway, I feel goosebumps all over my body.
In addition, Liu Bei has ears hanging down from his shoulders, and his hands are above his knees. Qin Shihuang has a saddle nose, cross-eyed eyes, and chicken breasts. He does not have the aura of the first emperor at all. Xiang Yu is the most terrifying, with one eye and two pupils, almost like an alien.
As for Li Yuan, I once saw a saying in an article -
It is said that this matter is not recorded in the "Old Book of Tang". It was first mentioned in "Taiping Yulan" compiled by Li Fang in the Song Dynasty. So the record about Li Yuan's three concubines was most likely copied from "Taiping Yulan"
Come here. Because the language of "Old Book of Tang" is simple and there are no exaggerated descriptions, and it was only 30 years after the fall of the Tang Dynasty when it was written, it is more credible.
So later on, some people speculated that Li Fang and others had most likely done something to Li Yuan's chest. What a terrible taste. In this way, many of the strange phenomena on ancient emperors may not be reliable.
Finally, why did the dancing horse travel through thousands of years and enter the Sui Dynasty on the first day when he heard the rumor about Li Yuan's threesomes, and it came from the mouth of a township chief.
I think it can be explained like this: Mr. Li Yuan does have a third child, but his family doesn’t think it’s strange. They think it’s a sign of being born rich and noble, so there’s no problem in saying it. “Did you know that Mr. Li in our family was born with a child?”
She has three breasts." So it was passed on to many people, and Liu Shilong also knew about it. Well, I just wrote it blindly.
(5) Township Chief Liu’s on-the-spot response
After the dancing horse finished speaking, it could no longer withstand the strong pull and retracted like a spring. It rolled up the gray snake's body and rolled and fell into the corner behind the screen. Looking at Liu Shilong again, he had finished saying goodbye.
But the man didn't leave. He stood there and looked around with his eyes. He probably heard what Dancing Horse said.
As for how many words I heard...mostly the first two words.
That's right, after Wu Ma thought about it again and again, he decided to start with "Kill Li"——
Because whether it was praying for rain, suppressing rebellion, offering sacrifices, secret rooms, or Li Yuan, these prompts would only make Liu Shilong confused.
"Kill Li" couldn't be more clear.
In Taiyuan, Li Yuan is the biggest Li.
The only people who want to kill Li Yuan are Wang Wei and Gao Junya.
All Liu Shilong needed to know was that Wang Wei wanted to kill Li Yuan.
Then, Mayor Liu can follow the established trajectory in history and complete the greatest mission of his life——
Reported to Li Yuan, opened the faucet of Jinyang's army, and poured down, creating this mighty river in the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty.
With Li Yuan's intelligence, he would take action in advance.
As for Wu Ma, why does Wu Ma know that only the first two words are effective, but still use all his strength to say the entire sentence?
Wu Ma just feels that just two words represent a lonely existence.
When placed in a complete sentence, these two words will come alive and float out with the meaning of the whole sentence.
What if Liu Shilong could really hear a whole sentence?
The dancing horse looked towards Liu Shilong.
At this moment, Liu Shilong showed a contradictory state - confused and alert.
Liu Shilong clearly heard Wu Ma's words, but he still didn't realize what they meant.
He stood there with his eyes rolling and his body shaking slightly, but refused to move away, hoping that the person who had just sent the message would say something more.
Tian Deping sneered: "Does Mayor Liu want to stay for dinner?"
Liu Shilong looked at Tian Deping with wandering eyes and swayed left and right.
Suddenly, he clutched his chest, collapsed on the ground, and murmured:
"Help...help...life!"
Judging from his pale face, he seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.
The three people in the hall quickly stood up and surrounded him.
The dancing horse couldn't help but want to shout "Great job" - of course Liu Shilong was pretending.
If he fainted here, Wang Wei would definitely leave him at his house to recuperate, and then ask a doctor to treat him.
As long as Liu Shilong stays here, Wu Ma will still have the opportunity to reveal more information.
Mr. Mayor, your mind is spinning so fast.
Wang Wei stood on Liu Shilong's side, looking up and down.
"Hey, we were just at a critical moment, why did this happen?"
Gao Junya seemed to be proficient in medical skills. After checking, he found that the pulse was still there, only a little weaker, and said: "I am afraid that Mayor Liu has heavy official duties and does not get enough rest. There are signs of a stroke, but he may not be alive for a while."
"
"That's how it is,"
Wang Wei's worries subsided a little, thinking that he had finally managed to invite someone here, but he rolled his eyes and fell ill in his own house.
Seeing the sacrifice right in front of us, this is really unlucky, so we should just heal the person and send him away as soon as possible.
"When I saw him coming in, his expression was not very good, so I asked someone to help him go to the back hall to rest, and then sent a doctor to take a look at him."
Tian Deping leaned into his ear and whispered: "No, absolutely not."
Wang Wei said: "What's wrong?"
Tian Deping and Wang Wei winked and pursed their lips towards Liu Shilong, "It's better to ask someone to take Mr. Liu to the medical center for treatment quickly. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time to go back and forth, which is not good."
Gao Junya said: "Chang Liu has fainted so much, how can he withstand the bumps on the road?"
Tian Deping said: "Mr. Liu has fainted so much, how can he withstand a moment's delay?"
Finally, Wang Wei understood what Tian Deping meant, and said, "Then please ask a few strong sedan bearers to carry Mayor Liu to the hospital, and tell him to be careful on the road and avoid bumps."
Gao Junya wanted to say something else, but Wang Wei waved his hand to stop him.
The dancing horse was lying on the corner, and he could only let out a long sigh. He thought to himself that Tian Deping was a character with a delicate mind.
Liu Shilong was carried out by several strong men, and Tian Deping said: "You two stayed behind, but you forgot that there are some shameful things in the back hall."
"Human lives matter,"
Gao Junya said: "He is already like this, what else is there to worry about?"
Tian Deping said: "Even if he dies now, it would be better than if our conspiracy were discovered by him and we would be destroyed forever."
Gao Junya said: "Isn't it because the county magistrate summoned Liu Shilong here that he can be used by me?"
Wang Wei said: "I did think so before..." As he said that, he looked at Tian Deping.
"This Mayor Liu seems to be loyal and noble,"
Tian Deping looked at the stretcher outside the door and narrowed his eyes.
"But I guess he has voted for Li Yuan a long time ago - if not, why didn't he feel a little bit happy when the county magistrate promised to take credit for him? I'm afraid Li Yuan would have promised him the title of marquis and general."
Gao Junya said: "Perhaps this person is very deep in the city, and his emotions and anger are invisible. Or maybe he really cares about the people and doesn't pay much attention to his official career."
"Everyone in the world is motivated by profit. This has been the case from ancient times to the present. How can there be someone who doesn't want fame, profit, and doesn't want to be an official?"
Tian Deping said: "If he is willing to be the head of the township, he is willing to be the county magistrate; if he is willing to be the county magistrate, he dares to be the governor; if he dares to be the governor, he dares to be an extremely popular minister; if he dares to be an extremely popular minister, he may not even be able to get the throne.
Xiao thought about it, wasn't this how the founding saint of this dynasty established the foundation of the Sui Dynasty?"
"As for the city?"
Tian Deping said:
"There are indeed some people like this, but it's just a shallow pit. Look at the pretentious gestures that the county magistrate just talked about Li Yuan, and the mayor Liu. I don't know what relationship he has with the county magistrate. It's just the first time we met you and I. It's far away.
Why don't you show your heart to yourself like this?
If you are so eager to take sides, you may be a fool.
Either he has colluded with Li Yuan a long time ago and wants to deceive us and others for his hard work!"
Well, the dancing horse reluctantly applauded Tian Deping...
