Chapter Ninety-Eight: Threats
'General Cheng! Thinking of that old man with no lower limit on discipline, the corners of Cui Ran's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but shudder, and countless boogers came to his face like a torrential rain.
Whether to compromise or not has become the biggest problem facing Cui Ran, as one of the five surnames and seven hopes, he has a natural alliance with the Taiyuan royal family, and he can add a little blockage to Li Chengqian, which is also a situation that these families are happy to see.
But what if Lao Cheng's goods really come? Will it feel bad to be dumped all over your nose?
Cui Ran, who was hesitating, finally decided to drag it out first, and wait for the evening to go back to discuss: "Your Highness, if the small county does not approve it, it is indeed that I don't know where it is more appropriate for a while, I don't know if Your Highness can give a few days of grace, and wait for the small county to find out the county records, so as to give His Highness an accurate answer." ”
Li Chengqian showed an unfathomable smile, glanced at Changsun Chong, jumped down from the chair (height is always a hard injury, no matter what chair he sits, Li Chengqian's feet can't reach the ground), and said to Cui Ran: "So the palace will not be disturbed, so I will leave." ”
can be so easy to fool through, Lao Cui is secretly glad at the same time, but also despises Li Chengqian's thunder and rain, Lao Li has chosen such a prince, and the rise of the family in the future is just around the corner.
Despised in his heart, but he did an impeccable job in terms of etiquette, and put on a respectful look, Lao Cui got up from his chair and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, eldest grandson." ”
Li Chengqian's smile became more and more weird, and he waved his hand to Lao Cui and said: "That's it, Lord Cui is strict as an official, this is a good thing, when I go back to the palace, I will definitely ask my father to re-examine." In addition, cousin, it will be up to you to say a few good words for Master Cui in the Gong Gong Division. ”
Although Li Chengqian's words are good, the secret meaning can be understood by fools, and it is clear that Cui Ran is going to die.
Changsun Chong's Laozi, Changsun Wuji, has not yet been promoted to the right servant of Shangshu at this time, and he is still the identity of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, so Changsun Chong still has the ability to say a few words in the Gong Division.
After all, the current official is not as good as the current management, and the son of the boss says something, who knows if it is from the hint of the boss, and there may be no reward for doing it, but if you don't do it...... I'm afraid that the small shoes in the future will have to be worn for a while.
Cui Ran, who had thought all this clearly almost instantly, was originally full of smiles, and his face was pale at that time, and cold sweat continued to flow down his head.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a lot of waste to be revived, and it was not a big problem to complete part of the 'Four Virtues and Twenty-Seven Most' evaluation, coupled with Cui Ran's family background and background, he could at least get a middle and upper level in every evaluation.
If you really let the two brothers walk out of this door empty-handed today, I am afraid that within three days, an exam will be placed on Lao Li's table.
Will Lao Li embarrass his son for the sake of an official from a family? I'm afraid it may not be.
So at that time, not to mention the Beijing officials, whether the capital can stay or not is a big question for Cui Ran.
In a flash of thought, Cui Ran changed his mind: "Your Highness, wait a minute, Xiaoxian suddenly remembered that there is indeed a piece of land by the Bahe River, but it is just against the river, and there are often floods." ”
The so-called world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Anyway, it's all from the old Li family, and it's a little impossible to catch up with your future for the sake of a bit of a battle of will.
"Oh? Do you have land again? If you don't have it, don't force it, I won't give it to you. Eldest Sun Chong's face was full of disdain, and he sneered.
"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly, it's just that the land is relying on the water, I'm afraid that His Highness will not be satisfied." Cui Ran put the two villains under his feet and stepped on them desperately, complaining about the second generation of these donkey days, but the smile on his face was extraordinarily sincere, and he couldn't see a trace of embarrassment.
has been an official for many years, and his face has long been trained, and the children of the family are not deep in the city, and they still understand the truth of not suffering immediate losses.
Moreover, how many resources are consumed by the Wang family and Li Chengqian's fighting method, and the other families have a good idea of how much they know, Cui Ran doesn't think that his family will fight with the prince because of such a little useless land.
So let go when it's time to let go, and it's not a shame to be stepped on by the prince.
Holding the eldest grandson Chong, who was about to make sarcastic remarks, Li Chengqian put away the smile on his face and said to Cui Ran: "Send someone to accompany us to have a look." ”
The so-called killing is not enough, since Cui Ran admits it, there is no need to step on it again.
Li Chengqian didn't want to offend a family because of this trivial matter, and the battle with the family was just beginning, and it was still in a tentative stage. Although I don't know what the old man means, if I provoke another family, I am afraid that I will be beaten when I go back.
"Xiao Xian go and prepare, and accompany His Highness over immediately." Anyway, it's already cowardly, and Cui Ran doesn't mind showing a little more sincerity.
In this way, under the compromise between the two sides, the group was ready to set off for Baqiao, but when they went out of the yamen and saw Li Chengqian's broken car, Cui Ran pursed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed back when they came to his mouth.
According to Li Chengqian's thoughts, Lao Cui's words translated into modern Chinese should be pretended13.
Walking after row, Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the carriage, chatted with the eldest grandson Chong, and was despised by him. Changsun Chong thinks that as the 'leader of the martial arts alliance', Li Chengqian must ride a horse, and what is the matter with always hiding in the car.
However, Li Chengqian is bitter and self-aware, and now he is getting closer and closer to the third year of Zhenguan, and according to the historical records, he will be lame in three years, so he has to be more careful recently, for fear of a little accident.
The road became more and more difficult to walk, and after crossing the Baqiao, the group turned to the country road, and Li Chengqian's carriage kept letting out a miserable moan, as if it would fall apart at any time.
"Cousin, did you do it on purpose?" Seeing that Li Chengqian was so jolted by the carriage that he almost didn't get out of the window, the eldest grandson Chongqiang couldn't help but smile and said to him.
"No guess, that bastard must have done it on purpose. Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself, this old thing is also hard enough. Rubbing the big bag that was knocked out of his head, looking at the official road running parallel to the path not far on the left, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.
"This old guy dares to play tricks on us, and he wants him to look good when he comes back." The eldest grandson Chong rode on the horse, parallel to Li Chengqian's horse, staring at the equally bumpy carriage in front of him, and said with a sneer.
"Now is not the time, wait until later, otherwise people will think that I crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and I can't row." Li Chengqian sat in the car like a tumbler, saying a word intermittently, and biting his tongue twice during the process.
In the end, Li Chengqian decided to give up the examination, his intestines were about to be turned upside down, and he was still in the mood to continue walking.
After glancing at the eldest grandson, Li Chengqian decisively asked the 'bald king' to stop, but did not notify Cui Ran, who was running all the way in front.
Old goods, you run in front, it's a while longer, and the master won't accompany you.
