Finally, hard work pays off. As soon as Li Mu and Dugu Jiu appeared at the gate of the house, Xu Jingzong discovered them and trotted to the front of the horse.

He recognized Li Mu, but Li Mu and Dugu Jiu did not recognize him. Suddenly someone rushed over. Dugu Jiu immediately drew out his sword and hit Xu Jingzong's neck.

Xu Jingzong originally wanted to kneel in front of Li Mu's horse in one go, but the sharp blade and neck did not dare to move at all, and he was stiff.

"Who are you? You're dead?"

"The lower-ranking official Xu, Xu Jingzong, suddenly saw the marquis and was very happy and offended the marquis, for the death penalty, for the death penalty..."

"Oh, Mr. Xu." Li Mu waved his hand, got off from the horse, looked at Xu Jingzong, and said, "The bachelor came early. I want to deal with other matters and wait for the bachelor."

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, "I dare not be a bachelor. In front of the marquis, the bachelor is only worthy of calling himself a student. How dare I let the marquis wait? Naturally, I should come early."

Li Mu smiled and didn't say much, but thought to himself that he knew almost the same in the TV series, and this person was a villain.

In fact, it is also a bit unfair to say that Xu Jingzong is a villain. Looking at Xu Jingzong's life, although he was not very glorious, he could not reach the level of a villain. But Li Mu had a reason to believe that he was a villain.

Since he made up his mind to contact Xu Jingzong, Li Mu sent the Jinyiwei to investigate this person and was very ashamed of some of the things he had done.

Xu Jingzong's father Xu Shanxin was appointed as a servant in the Sui Dynasty. In the middle of the Sui Dynasty, Xu Jingzong passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the assistant minister of Huaiyang. Soon, he was on duty at the Jewelry Station, responsible for passing documents and being able to meet the emperor. Not to mention that he was a straightforward person, he was also a young talent. At this time, Xu Jingzong had no stains in his life. But then Yu Wenhe launched a coup and killed Emperor Yang of Sui, but his father Xu Shanxin was not spared. At this time, Xu Jingzong did not feel angry because of his father's death, but instead begged to ask Yu Wenhe to save him from his death. Yu Wenhe spared his life, but soon he defected to Wagang and took charge of the documents with Wei Zheng. His friendship with Wei Zheng began at that time.

After the demise of Wagang, he joined the Tang Dynasty with the remaining troops of Wagang. Wei Zheng defected to Li Jiancheng, while Xu Jingzong was more optimistic about Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin was the King of Qin at that time, he was not the crown prince after all. Therefore, he could only recruit the remaining ones of Li Jiancheng. Xu Jingzong was considered a big man from the slaughter and became one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.

According to his qualifications, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he should be valued. But perhaps Li Shimin heard about what he had done before and was not ashamed of his character. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he did not value him. Instead, he sent him a leisurely place, served as a writer, and was ordered to compile the history of the Sui Dynasty.

Don’t think that the Sui Dynasty has not had many years, but the work of studying history is very complicated and requires constant research. Xu Jingzong has since fallen into a quagmire and cannot get out of his origin. What’s even more helpless is that there is no excellence in studying history, and there is no contribution to making contributions to it, so he gradually faded out of everyone’s sight.

This is the stain of the first half of his life, and Li Mu, as a time traveler, still knows that he is not safe in his later years.

Xu Jingzong was older than Li Shimin, but he could live much more than Li Shimin. When Li Zhi became emperor, he was still alive when he was seventy-eighty. Since he was the right concubine of the crown prince, he was closer to Li Zhi and could also guess Li Zhi's psychology. Therefore, when Li Zhi wanted to depose Queen Wang and make Wu Zetian the queen, he was the first to stand up and express his support.

At that time, Xu Jingzong had a bit of Li Mu's style of fighting against many scholars. He alone competed against the "Emperor Protection Sect" headed by Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other ministers. In addition to Li Zhi's side gang, he eventually led to the deposed king and the legitimate sect. His ability to reverse right and wrong and shameless attitude was absolutely comparable to those of people.

Therefore, Li Mu believed that he was a villain. However, although Xu Jingzong's character was despised, his literary talent was not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed to study history, nor could he play an important role in the process of abolishing the king and establishing the Wu. What Li Mu values ​​was his advantages in this regard.

Practicing the Tang Dynasty's laws is not a matter of one day or one night. I don't know how Li Shimin will decide, but according to the words, Li Shimin probably wanted to create a yamen alone and be responsible for the practice of the law. Then at this yamen, Li Mu must have a capable undercover agent, just like Wang Jingze is present at the Censorate.

Xu Jingzong was the one he chose.

The two sides exchanged greetings and politely gave in to each other to the heaven and earth. They stepped on the private room on the second floor and sat down under the waiter's service. Xu Jingzong did not ask Li Mu to order dishes with great fanfare, but ordered a few side dishes according to his own guess. This showed his thoughts. Who is Li Mu? In today's Chang'an City, he dared to say that he was the richest man, and no one stood up to challenge him. If Xu Jingzong asked Li Mu to order casually and show the aura of a nouveau riche, it would be a failure and might also cause his dissatisfaction.

But if you order the dishes yourself, it doesn't matter. Because Li Mu looks for him, after all, it's not for eating. And if he can order the dishes that match Li Mu's taste, he will show his meticulousness.

"I heard that the Marquis summoned him, and Emperor Jingzong didn't sleep all night last night. He was thinking about what the Marquis summoned him, and what could Emperor Jingzong do for the Marquis..."

Xu Jingzong's flattery is obviously one level higher than Ergou and others. The flattery is like drizzle, moistening things and silently, and it will not make people disgusted because of the dense slap.

Li Mu drank tea, laughed and said, "I want to see a bachelor because I read the memorials written by the bachelor. I have a brilliant literary talent and thoughtful and meticulous manner. I also asked Xu Ji and learned that the bachelor is now just a writer, and it is not worth it. With the bachelor's literary talent and ability, a writer is obviously a waste of his talent."

"This..." When Li Mu mentioned this, Xu Jingzong's eyes flashed with gloomyness. He smiled bitterly and said, "When Jingzong was young, he did something shameful. He had something to say today, and Jingzong had nothing to say."

"Oh?" Li Mu guessed roughly what he wanted to say, but was quite surprised. He pretended not to know, and said, "What is it that makes the bachelor so worried?"

Xu Jingzong sighed: "In the past, the thief Yu Wenhua and the rushing into the throne were killed by Emperor Yang and his father. Jingzong begged for his life, and he lived to this day. He could not avenge his father, be unfilial, and be unable to fight against the thief, and be unfaithful. Jingzong, a person who was unfaithful and unfilial, would he talk about literary abilities and be more despised."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth. Although he noticed that Xu Jingzong did not look at him when he was talking, Yu Guang kept paying attention to him. After saying this, his body was tense, showing that he was very nervous.

Since it is a shameful thing, why should he say it?

It is enough to see that he deliberately did the opposite, which is also his big bet!
