"Zhou Lizhen. The palace wants to recommend Zhou Lizhen as the governor of Guangzhou. ”

"No way!" Li Dan, Li Longji and Cui Geng spoke out in unison.

Of course, Zhou Lizhen and the others knew that this person was one of the "three thoughts and five dogs" who served the imperial history in the official residence of the Zetian Dynasty.

For Li Dan and Li Longji, when Li Dan was the emperor for the first time, Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De died in the palace for unknown reasons, and the decree must be the will of Wu Zetianxia. But who is it doing? I'm afraid that Wu Sansi can't escape the involvement, and it is really suspicious whether Zhou Lizhen was involved in it.

For Cui Geng, when he was the envoy of Jiannan Province, he was attacked by Song Youbin, the son of Song Bazi, the richest businessman in Shuzhong, and the person who provoked Song Youbin to do it was Zhou Lizhen sent by Wu Sansi. It was only later, when Zhang Changzong was powerful, Li Xian and Wu Sansi reached a compromise, and the matter was closed.

It can be said that Zhou Lizhen is a thorn in the side for both of them.

It's just that Zhou Lizhen is smarter, and after Wu Sansi was killed, he did not turn to Wei Hou or Zong Chuke, but invited himself out and was named the governor of Guizhou.

Guizhou is the Guilin of Guangxi in later generations, and it can be called the standard Tiangao Emperor Yuan during the Tang Dynasty.

After Tang Long's coup d'état, neither Li Dan nor Cui Geng nor Cui Geng were too lazy to continue to worry about him.

But that being said, it doesn't mean that he is forgiven!

The governor of Guangzhou has the military power of Lingnan Province, and he is many times stronger than the governor of Guizhou, how can this be endured?

Princess Taiping said unhurriedly: "What? King Ji doesn't even want to give this face? ”

"It's not that you don't want to give, but you ......"

"And what? Oh, Hongu sees. The governor of Guangzhou has been able to get Quanzhou, are you afraid that he will be bad for your hometown? ”

"The governor of Guangzhou gets Quanzhou?"

Cui Gengjing passed through Princess Taiping a little, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Only now did he understand what Princess Taiping meant: Zhou Lizhen had taken refuge in Princess Taiping.

Although Zhou Lizhen intended to assassinate herself, didn't she succeed? It's not a dead knot that can't be untied.

The relationship between Zhou Lizhen and Li Dan's father and son is different, the bodies of Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De have not been found yet, and he can't explain it at all.

Therefore, Zhou Lizhen is destined not to take refuge in Li Dan's father and son.

Aren't you afraid that Kairadis will be bad for the Lin family in Quanzhou? That's good, Zhou Lizhen's official position can overpower Kairadis.

Although the governor of Guangzhou can only manage military affairs, not civil affairs, it doesn't matter, as long as the two sides can reach a certain balance and don't let the Lin family suffer too much. The Lin family has been operating in Quanzhou for many years, and it is not without chance of winning as a local snake to deal with a rootless thorn history.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Where, the princess said with a smile...... The prime minister agreed that Zhou Lizhen would be the governor of Guangzhou. ”

Princess Taiping looked at Li Longji and Li Dan again, and said, "Brother Huang, crown prince, what do you think?" This governor of Guangzhou is not in the history of the four major governors and the six major governors. ”

The so-called four major governors are the capitals of Yi, Yang, Jing, and the four prefectures, and their governors have always been the princes. The six major metropolitan protectorates, namely Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate, and Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, are not among the Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansions.

"I ......"

Li Dan and Li Longji didn't want to agree, but they had nothing to say.

The reason is very simple, no matter how they object, Princess Taiping can use the words they just said to Cui Geng to scare them!

Cocooned himself, lifted a stone and hit his own feet, nothing more.

Li Longji even thought that he had just exchanged Quanzhou Thorn History for a short prime minister, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a prime minister in vain! This game is another big defeat!

But no matter what, at the Shuori Imperial Meeting, officials above the ninth rank in the capital were present, and Emperor Li Danshen could not be unreasonable.

In the end, he had to say: "According to Taiping's words, Zhou Lizhen can be the governor of Guangzhou." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

……

There was a dispute in the court, and Cui Geng won the biggest prize. Officials, who were very sensitive to the direction of the imperial court, began to gradually move closer to Cui Geng.

Of course, even if Cui Geng's restoration is just a name, there are still no important military matters for him to handle. If he wants to influence the government, it is more through Princess Taiping.

On this day, Cui Geng was sitting in the mansion, and suddenly, Wu Zhi walked in with a strange face.

"Cui Xiang, Guo Zhongxiang and his wife come to worship."

"It's strange, Guo Zhongxiang has been grounded by Guo Yuanzhen since he was almost used by this official last time. Why did you come to see this official again today? ”

Wu Zhi's face was still very strange, and he said, "Uh...... Probably forced by his wife. ”

"Guo Zhongxiang's wife? You mean Yang Jiao? ”

"Exactly."

Cui Geng was a little anxious at that time, and said, "I said Lao Wu, what's the matter with this expression on your face?" Others don't know, don't you know yet? Between this official and Yang Jiao, it is absolutely innocent! ”

"It's not...... I didn't say you weren't innocent! Wu knew: "You can misunderstand me, it's not this thing that I want to laugh about." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"The people who came here today are not only Guo Zhongxiang and Yang Jiao, but also Yang Jiao's family. These people all want to meet you, thank you for saving Yang Jiao. ”

"All here?"

Cui Geng understood what Wu Zhi meant after thinking about it a little, if he was an ordinary person, the Yang family's move was sincere. But with their current status, these people's actions today are very suspicious.

He said, "Since they are here, let them all in." ”

"Yes."

The effort was not big, and under the guidance of Wu Zhi, Guo Zhongxiang, Yang Jiao and Yang Jiao's family walked into the living room.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, after a few words of greeting, Cui Geng finally understood the family structure of the Yang family.

Yang Jiao's father is called Yang Zhiqian, and he has three sons and four daughters. The three sons are: Yang Xuanyan, Yang Xuangui, and Yang Xuanyu; The four daughters are: Yang Lian, Yang Jiao, Yang Xi, and Yang Mei.

Yang Jiao is the second daughter and has been married. The rest of the three sons and three daughters have not yet married.

Don't look at Yang Zhiqian is Hongnong Yang's family, his father even did the Jinzhou Thorn History of the Tang Dynasty. But Yang Zhiqian is not doing well, and he does not have an official position.

Then it was Yang Zhiqian's performance time, he worked very hard to shoot Cui Geng's sycophants, but he couldn't shoot the idea, and he broke the iron law of "thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants", which made Cui Geng embarrassed for a while.

Even Yang Jiao felt very embarrassed, and while constantly giving her father a look, she gave Cui Geng an apologetic look.

Finally, Cui Geng felt that the time was almost up, and said, "If Old Man Yang has nothing else to do, let's stop here today." The official is busy with official business, so he will not accompany him. ”

That's what it means to chase customers.

Yang Zhiqian shook his head and said, "In addition to thanking Cui Xiang today, there is one more thing to ask for. ”

"What's the matter?" Cui Geng replied casually.

At the same time, he was also ready, and when Yang Zhiqian asked him for an official, he asked him to find Guo Yuanzhen.

However, Yang Zhiqian's answer was much beyond Cui Geng's expectations, and said: "The little Xuanyan is stubborn, and he really can't be disciplined. Cui Xiang has the talent of heaven and earth, can he let him worship you as a teacher? ”

Burst!

Cui Geng's mouthful of tea soup squirted out, and he said with a smile: "What did you say?" ”

"Alas, my eldest son, Xuanyan, likes to mess with scoundrels on the street the most on weekdays, which month is not allowed to hurt people three or five times? In addition to asking for money for the decoction, he was also very scared. lest he miss one day and beat someone to death. Cui Xiang, you are capable, can you discipline one or two for me! ”

"Old man Yang, what do you think?" Without waiting for Cui Geng to speak, Wu Zhi couldn't help it and said, "Who is Cui Xiang's apprentice?" Xue Chongjian, the king of Lijie County, An Guogong talks about merit. Don't say it's your son, even you yourself are not worthy of being Cui Xiang's disciple! ”

Cui Geng beat the round and said: "Eh! Lao Wu, don't talk nonsense, I have a relationship with Guo Ke, the Marquis of Fuyuan, and it is said that I am the same generation as Guo Zhongxiang. Old Man Yang can be regarded as an elder of his true appearance, how can I let him apprentice? ”

The implication is that Yang Zhiqian, your son and I are the same generation, so you don't have to think about apprenticeship.

But Yang Zhiqian still didn't give up, and said: "Even though Xiao'er is not worthy of worshipping Cui Xiang as a teacher, it's okay to stay by Cui Xiang's side as a guard, right?" ”

Cui Geng looked Yang Xuanyan up and down, and said, "Ling Lang is less than sixteen this year, right?" Although he has grown up, he is really a little younger, and it is not suitable to be a guard. ”

When Yang Zhiqian asked Yang Xuanyan to worship Cui Geng as a teacher just now, his face was flushed, and he lowered his head, as if he felt extremely ashamed.

However, now that Cui Geng is questioning his ability to be a guard, he will quit.

"Cui Xiang, don't look down on people!"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? I'll tell you, I'm not even sixteen this year. However, when it comes to being a guard, I admit the second, and no one can recognize the first. ”

"Pull it down." Wu Zhi said disdainfully: "How many skills can you have at such a young age?" If you really have the ability, you can practice with Zang Xilie, the general next to Cui Xiang. Wang Maozhong, the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, knows, right? None of them are Zang Xilie's enemies. ”

Yang Xuanyan glanced at Wu Zhi with disdain and said, "Dead fat man, do you understand?" I said that I was the first guard, but I didn't say that I was the first general. ”

"What...... What do you mean? ”

Yang Xuanyan said proudly: "I admit that I am not as good as General Zang Xilie in fighting." However, he is not as good as me as a guard. You know? I've had a lot of instincts since I was born, and when I fight in the streets, no one can sneak up on me. Some people even think that the police knife, one of the top ten treasures of the Tang Dynasty, has fallen into my hands. In other words, as long as I'm by Choi Sang's side, the assassins don't want to sneak up on Choi Sang. ”

Cui Geng laughed: "The experience of street fights is not reliable. Slowly, it's just a "rumor" that the police knife is in your hands, but it is really in your hands...... Well? Yang Xuanyan? Police knives? ”

His heart suddenly moved, and he changed his words: "You keep you by the king's side as a guard...... That's fine! ”
