Chapter 357 Taizong's legacy?

Han Yi didn't know that they had entered the Censorate, nor did he know what happened, but this was not important. This token was enough to explain everything, that is, Zheng Shanxing and the others were already on Li Zhi's side.

In the small courtyard behind the Lu Shi Gua Medicine Shop, Lu Shi Gua and Wang Xuandao sat in confrontation, with a chessboard in the middle, which was clearly black and white.

Wang Xuandao stroked the little turtle in his hand with one hand, his eyes full of confidence.

But Lu Shigua frowned, and the black sperm in his hand could not fall. Suddenly, he threw the black sperm into the porcelain jar next to him and sighed: "I lost again. Six years ago, I was within ten sons of you, but six years later, I miss you a total of thirty sons."

Wang Xuandao showed his signature stingy smile, "Brother Lu, why should you be modest? You spend all your thoughts on saving the world. I, a plain person, just play chess with myself at home all day. If Brother Lu can be the same as me, I think Brother Lu's chess skills are determined by me."

Lu Shigua shook his head and said, "You flatter me by saying this. If I practice every day, I may not lose thirty sons, but I will definitely not win you. Since I was a child, you have an unparalleled talent in chess skills. I am ashamed of this."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing a hearty laughter suddenly sounded outside the door, Zheng Shanxing walked in and said, "Brother Lu, you are humiliating yourself again."

Mr. Lu said, "Huh? You're back."

Zheng Shanxing said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say that we will advance and retreat together. As a result, I will let me go alone on the first day of taking office. It's really unfaithful."

Mr. Lu apologized: "You know that I am most annoyed by the hypocritical human feelings in the officialdom. If I don't go, I know what the scene will be like."

Zheng Shanxing said: "Do I like it very much?"

Wang Xuandao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, you are half a businessman after all, and you always learn a little hypocritical. It is perfect for you to do it."

Zheng Shanxing snorted and said, "Don't be proud of you, then you will go to the government office sooner or later. Do you think you can hide?"

Lu Shigua sighed and said, "You can hide for a while, just count for a while. In fact, you can't go either. You are worried about Brother Han, so you can't help but want to go."

Wang Xuandao said curiously: "Did those censors bully Brother Han?"

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "When I went, he was sitting in the corner looking at the official list. What do you think?"

Lu Shigua sneered: "Just knowing it's like this. It's hopeless."

Wang Xuandao asked, "Will Brother Han surrender to them? I remember Brother Han dared to collide with Chu Suiliang."

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "I thought so before, because I was afraid that Brother Han would make a big fuss about the Censorate on the first day, so I went over and take a look. I realized that I was worrying for nothing. Brother Lu's ancestor said something well, it was not my aspiration, nor was it what I wish."

Wang Xuandao nodded and said, "So that's it."

Lu Shigua suddenly asked, "Is Brother Han still reading the list in the official office?"

"He is hiding at the door and eavesdropping on us." Zheng Shanxing pointed his hand behind.

"I know you can't rely on it."

Before he finished speaking, Han Yi walked out from behind the door, looked embarrassed and bowed to Wang Xuandao and Lu Shigua, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang. Don't be fine."

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Brother Han, this move is not a gentleman."

Han Yi laughed and said, "Who can be a gentleman in the Censorate, I don't believe it anymore." He walked up and said with emotion: "You are more carefree. If you don't go to work, no one will say a word. Instead, you will get some greetings. I went there early. I was afraid that someone would be caught, but in the end I saw them preparing to jointly impeach me. If I don't go, wouldn't I be impeached until death by them?"

Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "Brother Han is too modest. Even the Minister of Revenue cannot do anything to you, let alone those censors, if they really impeach, they really don't know who was impeached until their death."

Zheng Shanxing said, "Xuandao, you are worthy of being deeply versed in metaphysics. This sentence is very important!"

This guy always speaks so badly. Han Yi smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, who among you has the best chess skills?"

Lu Shigua said: "Xuan Dao is known as the best white robes in the world. At that time, Grand Secretary Cen Wenben liked to hold black selves and took precedence, never lost. There was no rival in the court, but Xuan Dao liked to hold white selves and liked to take down others, never lost. It's a pity that Xuan Dao did not compete with Grand Secretary Cen, and it was impossible to know who is stronger in Black and White. It's really a pity."

"That's not." Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "Brother Lu, have you forgotten that the female devil was the twenty-eight sons of Xuandao at the time."

Wow! My wife is so chess skills, why didn’t she hear her blow? It’s so weird. Han Yi was shocked.

Mr. Lu said: "That's all the female devil's tricks behind her back."

So that's it. Han Yi nodded silently, which was in line with Xiao Wuyi's personality.

Wang Xuandao said lightly: "The past is over, why both brothers should be mentioned again?"

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua looked at each other, both smiling but not speaking.

Han Yi was curious and thought to himself, what magic did the fairy use again? It seemed that he had to go and inquire about it another day. He smiled and said, "The three young men are so unkind. They are actually hiding such a big thing from me."

Lu Shigua first glanced at Zheng Shanxing, then smiled slightly, and said, "I thought you had already expected today if you said those words."

Han Yi shook his head and said truthfully: "I didn't expect this. I just tried to work hard. Prince Wang said it well, "This is a matter of planning and a matter of heaven."

Lu Shigua looked at Han Yi and said, "Then please forgive me and ask me, what are you planning?"

Han Yi was stunned and smiled and said, "People like me who are born in the past have nothing but two possibilities to pursue a career. Either they want to join the ranks of nobles, take revenge on society, take revenge on those who look down on me, or they want everyone to be the same as me. What do you think I am planning?"

Lu Shigua smiled and nodded, saying, "But we are all from aristocratic families, and you are from a poor family. Do you really think we can cooperate?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "If you can't, why do you want to enter the Censorate again?"

Mr. Lu said, "Do you believe in us so much?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Because this is the only bargaining chip I have in exchange for your trust."

Mr. Lu said: "But do you know that all of us like to act emotionally and we have always been reluctant to be officials. One of the reasons is that we are afraid of implicating relatives and friends. It is definitely not a wise move to cooperate with us."

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I may not be very rational. Otherwise, I would not wear this official robe, nor would I be stupid enough to challenge the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, I think that if a person loses his pursuit of his dreams, it will be difficult for him to succeed. In the process of pursuing his dreams, feelings and passion are essential. People who are too rational are prone to lose these two things. Therefore, they feel afraid. Besides, since I have chosen this path, I have already bought the coffin first."

Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "I don't know if you are really ready. Anyway, I'm really ready because our enemy is too strong."

Lu Shigua nodded, was silent for a moment before saying, "But unfortunately, to defeat this powerful enemy, the first person we have to face is Changsun Wuji, the first person in the dynasty."

Han Yi smiled knowingly and gave two grateful gazes to Lu Shi Gua.

Zheng Shanxing stood in the sun, smiled knowingly, and then said, "Now Changsun Wuji is in power. We may not be able to figure out how powerful he has. And we are just small officials who have just entered the government. Can we really defeat him?"

"That may not be."

Han Yi and Wang Xuandao said at the same time.

Wang Xuandao looked at Han Yi in surprise and said, "Brother Han, do you see this too?"

Han Yi said in confusion: "I don't know if you are referring to what I am thinking."

Zheng Shanxing said curiously: "What are you referring to?"

"Sir Taizong."

Wang Xuandao and Han Yi said in unison again.

Lu Shigua was stunned and said, "Are you saying that?"

Wang Xuandao said: "I remember how powerful this was when Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang became a small Pei Gong. Later, he defeated Xiang Yu and created the prosperous Han Dynasty. However, after unification, he could not avoid killing generals with outstanding military achievements such as Han Xin and Ying Bu. The Emperor Taizong also unified the country with force, but among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, except for Hou Junji who rebelled and was killed later, the rest had a good end. This shows that Emperor Taizong's master's skill in controlling people is far better than Emperor Gaozu of Han."

"I see."

Zheng Shanxing said: "In the late Zhenguan period, Changsun Wuji once took over power, and Changsun Wuji and Taizong Sheng were friends of common people. The person who knew Changsun Wuji best was Taizong Sheng. The problem lies with this minister of resignation."

These guys usually talk about some things, either divination or medical skills, and do good deeds. They only brought out their true abilities until now. They are really hidden enough! Fortunately, I am not bad. Han Yi said this and knew that he was also the time to show his skills. He said, "Yes, the problem lies with the minister Gu Ming. I heard that before the Emperor Taizong died, he entrusted His Majesty to Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. However, according to the emperor's psychology, he would usually be happy to see two factions fighting in the court. However, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were the same voice. Didn't he think that the Emperor Taizong would expose the power to them?

These are hard to find out, and they are all told by Xiao Wuyi, but his talent is to find out some unusual things from seemingly ordinary things, because he always has to pretend to be strangers and imitate the characteristics of these strangers. This is the ability he relies on to survive.

Zheng Shanxing frowned and said, "I have considered this, but don't forget that before Your Majesty ascended the throne, the princes died and exiled in order to compete for the Eastern Palace. Some of the ministers once supported the deposed crown prince, some supported the King of Wei, and some supported the King of Wu. If Emperor Taizong did not do this, it would be difficult to stabilize the court. Who can guarantee that they will not make a comeback? Only Changsun Wuji can prevent all this from happening."

Lu Shi Gua said: "And the relationship between Emperor Taizong and Changsun Wuji is a commoner. The relationship between the monarch and minister is unprecedented. Not only that, Changsun Wuji is also the uncle of His Majesty today. It is very likely that Emperor Taizong believes in him."

Wang Xuan said: "Although what you said is not without reason, the emperor is always the emperor. I always think that the Emperor Taizong must have left behind the trick. Otherwise, under the current situation, he would not be able to defeat Changsun Wuji. After all, he has been the prime minister for thirty years, and most of the important officials in the court are his."

Lu Shi Gua said: "In other words, if we can find the legacy left by Emperor Taizong, we will be able to defeat Changsun Wuji."

Zheng Shanxing nodded, looked at Han Yi again, and said, "Brother Han, what do you think?"

Han Yi said: "I agree with the words of Prince Wang. Although the friendship between Emperor Taizong and Changsun Wuji is indisputable, I heard that the princes were extremely fierce in the past. Moreover, don't forget that Emperor Taizong also ascended the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident. According to human nature, Emperor Taizong cannot be unpredictable. Why did Liu Bang kill Han Xin? It is very simple. It is because he relied on Han Xin to gain the world. You are right before. The current emperor of Emperor Taizong entrusted his majesty to Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang to prevent the revival of the princes in the court. Since he could think of this, he should think of guarding against Changsun Wuji."

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned and said, "There is another point that can be proved that it is Fang Yiai's rebellion case."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, whether the rebellion of Fang Erlang is true or false. In fact, Changsun Wuji used this to eradicate all the important officials in the court who were unfavorable. I guess he guessed this. But he didn't know who the person arranged by Emperor Taizong was, so he had to start a massacre. What I worry most is that this trick might have been eliminated by Changsun Wuji first."

Mr. Lu said: "Who are you referring to?"

Wang Xuandao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Jiangxia King Li Daozong."
