124 episodes, the daily seats are closed for a long time, and the father and son meet each other

After Emperor Taizong's death, Empress Wu Tian cut her hair into a nun in Luoyang, secretly traveled to Chen Cang and was taken to the palace by Emperor Gaozong, and climbed to the throne of the queen step by step until she monopolized power. After Emperor Gaozong's death, Empress Wu appointed a monk as the leader of the White Horse Temple. This monk was originally a rogue in Luoyang, with his surname Feng Xiaobao, and was strong and handsome. Some people speculated that Empress Wu had an affair with him when she became a monk. At this moment, the old love was rekindled. There are rumors that his lower body was extraordinary, comparable to Lao Ai in ancient times.

No matter what, Wu Zetian named Feng Xiaobao as the master of White Horse Temple, and gave him countless favors, and gave him the surname Xue and his name Huaiyi. Empress Wu is quite interesting. She likes to change her name, and she gives a monk a different name, which is in line with the intention of "monk or not monk".

Xue Huaiyi became the master of the White Horse Temple and often went to and from the Forbidden Palace in the name of preaching. As for what sutra it was, the court knew it well, so it was naturally a happy sutra. Monk Xue was the male favorite of the Empress Dowager. This is an open secret.

It would be fine if Xue Huaiyi was honest in serving the empress dowager, but this person had the habit of being a ruffian. Once he was in power, he gathered outside the palace to idle and stole the market, cheated, extorted, seized, bullied men and women and other bad things, forming an ancient gang with "gangster nature".

Since this group of people relied on the White Horse Temple's leader, Monk Xue, many people simply took off their bald heads and lived in White Horse Temple, so the people of Luoyang called it the Bald Head Party.

Just last month, more than a dozen house-entry robberies occurred in Luoyang City. The bandits were very rampant, but the government did not catch them. Not long ago, while patrolling the Jinwu Guard, a monk who robbed money in broad daylight. The monk was caught on the spot and was not caring about it. He said to the Jinwu Guard: "I am a subordinate of Mr. Xue of Baima Temple."

Jinwu Guard was also in a dilemma. It was a breach of the law if he let the monk go. Not letting him offend him again was an offense to Xue Huaiyi, so he had to let the monk sign and seal it. He handed it over to the White Horse Temple for the master to "severely punish", and it was finally left alone.

As a result, the bald party acted even more fearlessly. Various public security cases occurred in Luoyang City, causing complaints from the people. The typhoons in the left and right sides of the government were heard, and Dali Temple and Jingzhao Jinwu Guards gathered to speak out.

In fact, the officials at the meeting understood what was going on, but Xue Huaiyi was "out of the sky". He was favored by Empress Wu, and no one wanted to take the lead and offend him. In the end, Feng Sixu, the censor of the Right Su Zhengtai, stood up and volunteered to lead people to deal with the lawless bald party. Everyone clapped their hands and agreed and assigned hundreds of Jinwu Guards to the command of Lord Feng.

The Censor Feng did it as soon as he said it. The next night, hundreds of sword-bearing soldiers surrounded Baima Temple with lightning speed and took down all the rogues in the temple who were drinking and gambling, regardless of monks and lay people. That night, the temple master, Monk Xue, went to the palace to "preach". When he came back, Baima Temple almost became an empty temple.

Some things have been the same throughout the ages. When they are not on the stage, they have their own hidden rules, but once things are unveiled, they are shameless. Xue Huaiyi entrusted Wu to plead with love, and only released a group of subordinates with minor crimes or no evidence of illegality. The rest of the skinheads, after being interrogated by Censor Feng, were convicted and imprisoned according to the law. None of them were let go of either the backbone or the exile.

Most of the members of the bald party were wiped out, and the public security situation in Luoyang immediately improved. The people said they were eager, and Xue Huaiyi had no choice. As the censor, Feng Sixu asked the murderer according to the law and had evidence of signing and sealing. Even if he went to Empress Wu to file a complaint, it would be useless. Moreover, Empress Wu only needs a male favorite, not a leader of the Luoyang Blald party. Xue Huaiyi dared not mention such a thing to the Empress.

Xue Huaiyi held a grudge against Feng Sixu, but he had no choice but to use the means of a hooligan in the city. On Feng Sixu's way home, he was ambushed and attacked him, so he let out a sigh of anger. This happened to be caught by Mei Zhenyi, and all the perpetrators were arrested.

After hearing this, Mei Zhenyi sighed: "Mr. Feng's actions are admired by me. They are also in line with the way of worldly practice! As for the way of never letting go of the murderers today, it is very necessary. These gangsters rely on the protection of the White Horse Temple to commit crimes everywhere. It is nothing more than tolerating the yamen, not not afraid of death. Today, Master Feng can truly shock and eliminate similar incidents."

After hearing the story, I said goodbye to Lord Feng. Mei Zhenyi did not tell her identity. He did not want to leave her name. Censor Feng did not ask questions. When he returned to the front hall, Qingfeng was still sitting there. Two maids from the Feng family were teasing him: "This guy is so handsome, do you drink water? Do you have any fruits here?... Oh, why don't you eat it? What a poor child. I don't know how the Taoist priest controls him on weekdays. He doesn't dare to move while sitting here, and he doesn't dare to say anything."

The fairy boy Qingfeng was actually teased by two maids, and sat there with a stern face and helpless. Mei Zhenyi laughed in her heart and looked majestic and said, "Qingfeng, follow me!"

The two left the Feng Jingshi's house. As soon as they walked a few steps, they found someone leaning out at the intersection not far away. They looked at the same group of gangsters as they were just now. They should have been unlucky. As soon as they saw the Taoist priests coming out with the boy, they lost consciousness immediately. Mei Zhenyi didn't want to take these tails to the Southern Lu Gong Mansion, and knocked out the several gangsters who were following them, and threw them up and hung them on the tree next to the road for exhibition.

After passing through the streets and alleys, I came to the Nanlu Duke Mansion. This mansion is much more grand than the Feng Jingshi family. Although the area cannot be compared with Jingwu Villa, the eaves are tall and the rich and the doors are so strict. The guards standing in front of the door are all brave men from a hundred miles away, with their bodies as straight as javelins.

Mei Zhenyi walked to the door. Before she could report, she saw a big man walking out of the corner door. When he saw him facing him, he said "huh" and stopped.

Mei Zhenyi went forward and whispered, "Is it Uncle Mei Gang? We're meeting again!" The strong man looked nearly fifty years old last year, but his eyes were sharp and his steps were full of wind, his behavior was very sharp, and his facial features were a bit like Mei Yi. I remember that in the Northwest Army, this person was next to Mei Xiaolang and met Mei Zhenyi from a distance. When I saw him again, I could guess who he was at a glance.

"Young Master? It's really young master! You are taller again, can you recognize me?... Come in quickly, the master has received a letter from Wuzhou and has been waiting for you and this fairy boy!" Mei Gang's voice was not loud, but his expression was very excited.

"Uncle Yi has always been very concerned about his brother in Wuzhou. I ask me to come to Luoyang here and I must report my safety." Mei Zhenyi first brought a sentence for Mei Yi. As soon as she entered the mansion, a servant ran to the back to report to Mei Xiaolang, and the young master had arrived.

Mei Zhenyi did not walk fast to Luoyang, and she also went around a lot of circles. Jingwu Villa had already sent someone to send a letter to the Southern Lu Duke Mansion, saying that the young master disguised as a Taoist priest in Yunyou and rushed to Luoyang with a fairy boy. The Southern Lu Duke Mansion had already prepared for receiving the letter and specially set up a quiet villa in the backyard for Qingfeng.

Qingfeng was not polite, and he didn't even go to see Mei Xiaolang. After entering the mansion, he went straight to the backyard and told others not to disturb him.

In that era, filial piety was the first priority. My son came into the house to pay homage to his father, but there was no reason for his father to welcome his son. However, when Mei Zhenyi walked to the main hall of the inner house, she found that the whole family was all here, and the scene was very grand. It was obvious that she received the news to wait for the eldest young master.

The housekeeper Mei An, and Mei Zhenyu, the younger brother Mei Zhenyu, the younger sister Mei Suzhi and a group of servants. The family generals were all in the hall, surrounded by a man in his early forties. The lying silkworm had thick eyebrows and a warm face, and three long beards. It was Mei Xiaolang, the Duke of Southern Lu.

"Teng'er..." The voice of Nanlu Gong trembled a little. Looking at his son walking into the door, his eyes were a little wet.

Without introducing it, Mei Zhenyi walked up to him and bowed: "Sir, I kowtowed to you!"

Mei Xiaolang pulled up his son, held his shoulders, stared at his face, looked left and right, and his hands trembled slightly: "Teng'er, you have grown so old that you finally called me father..." When he said this, his voice was choked, and he forced himself to hold back his excitement, and he could no longer say anything.

"Teng'er was wrong. It shouldn't have been here for so long. Please forgive me, dad..." Mei Zhenyi's eyes were wet, and her voice was as choked as her father.

Mei Xiaolang in front of him is truly his father. As soon as he meets him, the indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy between his relatives will naturally be revealed in his heart. Mei Xi was an orphan before traveling through time and did not have a deep feeling about the concept of father, but after traveling through time, he was Mei Xiaolang's son, although he had never met. Mei Xiaolang's concern for him was everywhere from beginning to end.

The arrow in front of the two armies gave a helpless gap between the father and son. Mei Zhenyi kept thinking. When she saw her father's ground, what would she react? When this moment really came, Mei Zhenyi realized that the thoughts before seemed so redundant, and in fact she had been looking forward to this moment.

The wound of the arrow disappeared with the half-question between the father and son. There was no need to mention it again. Mei Zhenyi had an inexplicable urge to cry, and wanted to throw herself into her father's arms and cry, which was really like a child who found her father.

At this time, the butler Mei An came over: "After so many years of going there, the eldest young master finally returned safely. This is a great joy for our Mei family. The master and the young master should be happy."

"Yes, you should be happy, it's a great joy... Teng'er, you have seen Zhenting and Sujie, and you also have your younger brother Zhenyu and sister Suzhi in Luoyang." Mei Xiaolang held his son's arm tightly with one hand, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and he personally introduced the rest of the family.

Mei Zhenyi discovered that in addition to his father, other people in the family, including younger brothers and sisters, looked at him with a sense of awe. This is not surprising. Although Mei Zhenyi had never been to Luoyang, many things about him in Wuzhou had been spread throughout the Southern Lu Gong Mansion. The family admired the eldest young master very much, and at the same time felt a little awe.

That night, the mansion was held to welcome the eldest young master. Mei Xiaolang was naturally on the main seat, and Mei Zhenyi sat in the place where he added a cup with his right hand. Mei Xiaolang originally wanted to invite fairy boy Qingfeng to the seat, but Mei Zhenyi told his father that he did not need to invite fairy boy, nor did he have to send his servants to serve him, as long as he did not disturb him.

The wine is a special brew of old spring yellow at Wanjia Hotel in Wuzhou, and the dishes are all Mei Zhenyi’s favorite food, which surprised him a little. The butler Mei An explained on the side: "The wine was sent by Zhang Guo. The master will wait until the eldest master comes back before he will open the seal. As for this dish, it was specially prepared for the master."

Mei Zhenyi: "Butler, how do you know I will be here today?"

Mei An smiled: "I don't know if the young master will arrive today. The master told the kitchen to be prepared every day, and it will be the same when the young master comes."

Mei Xiaolang was the Duke of Southern Lu, and this cost was nothing. What was rare is that he knew what his son liked to eat in normal times, and he specifically ordered his servants to prepare it in this way, which showed his expectation. He had a very happy meal and was very moved. Mei Zhenyi wanted to cry for a while, and felt warm in his heart. I haven't felt this way for many years. Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but think of the meal he had eaten at the Qu family in the false realm.

Mei Xiaolang drank a lot of wine without any need for other servants to serve him. Mei Zhenyi kept adding warm old chrysanthemum to him on his right hand. After the meal was over, she was still unsatisfied and told the servant to send two jars of wine to the study. The master and the young master had something to talk in private.

"Son, you ordered Mei Yi to send a message to you. You have really extraordinary experience. This is something that has never been seen in the ages. You can actually think of it as a disciple of the Supreme Immortal of Donghua." The father and son slowly drank wine and talked about the message sent by Mei Zhenyi at the beginning, which was to remind Mei Xiaolang that he wanted to be the female emperor.

After several years, Mei Xiaolang has completely figured it out, and what his son said is true. Empress Wu, who is both intimate and meritorious, promoted a large number of confidants from the Wu family. At the same time, she also valued real talents. However, during Empress Wu's power, she dealt with a large number of important officials, either killing, demoting or exiling. Even the old official like Pei Yan could not see the real tricks, but Mei Xiaolang saw it.

Empress Wu was in power, recruiting talents and purged court officials. This seemingly contradictory behavior actually had only one intention, which was to pave the way for herself to ascend the throne and make the empress. Empress Wu was good at rewarding people, as long as you deserve it. But Empress Wu was also good at punishing people because those people opposed her taking charge of the government. Empress Wu was in power in the early stage and appointed many cruel officials. It seemed that she was abusing her punishment, but in fact she was using cruel officials as a knife.

Mei Xiaolang has been the chief minister for many years. On the one hand, he is indeed an important official in civil and military affairs. On the other hand, he never disturbs matters such as the emperor's personal rule, so he is safe and sound in the turmoil of the court. This is also the reminder of Mei Zhenyi.

Mei Zhenyi asked tentatively: "Father, you have been in the court for many years. How do you evaluate the Queen of Martial Arts?" Such words can only be discussed without any concern in such private occasions as father and son.

Mei Xiaolang held the wine glass and pondered: "Although Wu is a woman, if he is a king, he is stronger than the last emperor, Bizhe and Dan, the two princes are much stronger."

Mei Zhenyi asked, "From my father's opinion, you don't object to the Wu family's claim to be emperor?"

Mei Xiaolang did not directly answer his son's words. He put down his wine glass and asked, "Son, I have been in charge of the military empress over the years. You have grown up among the people in Jiangnan and have been to many places. What is the current situation of people's livelihood, administration, and national strength?"

Mei Zhenyi replied: "In the Jiangnan area, except for Xu Jingye's rebellion, the people live in peace and prosperity. Although it cannot be said that officials are all virtuous, most officials are peaceful and there is no trouble to disturb the people. As for the prosperity of the country, there is no need to mention the four barbarians who hand over the country to pay tribute to the court. Among them, there is also the contribution of your father to assist the country... It is a bit chaotic in Luoyang."

What he said was the truth. With the conditions at that time, people's livelihood, public security and the good mental state of the people, he even far surpassed the 21st century before his time travel.

Before traveling through time, Mei Zhenyi was an orphan growing up in the world. She had experienced a lot of things. She was not a taken-for-follow angry young man. She would not deviate from reality and dream of promoting modern things in the Tang Dynasty. He occasionally had ideas, hoping that this wealthy and powerful national power could continue forever and not experience the decline of modern times. But he was also a practitioner with a clear mind. His delusion had been destroyed and knew that everyone could only do everything they face.

Mei Xiaolang smiled: "As long as the court fights do not harm the country and the people, it will only be a change of powerful ministers. It is not easy for the Empress of Martial Arts to be able to achieve success in this way. There is a dragon or a phoenix above the throne, and there is no need to worry about being a father." As he heard this, Mei Zhenyi's father's thoughts were still very "advanced". Whether Obama or Hillary came to power, the prime minister didn't care.

Mei Zhenyi: "My father misunderstood. The Luoyang I mentioned was a bit chaotic, which was not the government but the market. Today I encountered a group of gangsters attacking the censor Feng Sixu and found out the origin of the bald party. There was such a group of people in Luoyang, which was also related to Xue Huaiyi, the male favorite of the Martial Arts Empress."

Mei Xiaolang was slightly surprised: "I heard that a Taoist priest helped Jingshi Feng hold the murderer on the spot. It turned out to be you!... Since you mentioned this, then my father also asked you, when you entered the door at noon, Mei happened to go out. Do you know what I sent him to do?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I don't know, is it related to this matter?"
