Shangguan Wan'er said; "Erlang is really smart. In the second year of the light house, the North Gate Bachelor has a big tail, and His Majesty has set up an organization called the Mouse Club in order to solve the North Gate Bachelor. โ
Cui Geng repeated: "Rats will? โ
"Don't look down on the name, in fact, the rat will be very powerful. After the North Gate Scholar was dismantled, His Majesty thought that the rats would be too dark and bloody, so he shelved them and only used Zhang's internal guards to act. Now, His Majesty is afraid that Zhang Changzong will not be able to control the situation, so he will hand over the rat meeting to Zhang Changzong. โ
"I see."
Cui Geng secretly pondered, probably Wu Zetian's temperament was similar to those emperors of the Ming Dynasty. First, Jinyiwei, and later Jinyiwei felt unreliable, so he set up the East Factory. felt that the east factory was not safe, and ordered someone to set up the west factory, and there was an inner factory after the west factory...... The stacked bed frame house is to ensure the absolute safety of the emperor.
Wu Zetian's cleverness lies in knowing that this rat will not be easy to control, and he has put it on the shelf for more than ten years.
No wonder the courtiers don't support Zhang Changzong, he is still in the mix, it turns out that there is this secret organization.
He asked, "This rat will only be under the command of Zhang Changzong, it should have a real leader, right?" โ
"That's nature. However, Erlang, don't think about rebelling against this person, his name is Zhang Tongxiu, and he is Zhang Changzong's family. โ
Cui Geng said thoughtfully: "Zhang Tongxiu? โ
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Wan'er asked a little strangely, "What?" Has Jiro ever heard of this name? Did I find out with a hard time? โ
"I didn't ...... Not. โ
Cui Geng drank all the wine on the case, but his hands were a little trembling.
Originally, in Cui Geng's thoughts, the Shenlong coup was very simple. According to historical records, Zhang Cambodia took advantage of the power of the prime minister to install many cronies in the forbidden army.
Then, taking advantage of Wu Zetian's serious illness, he raised his arms and led the remaining four kings in the Shenlong Coup, as well as all the Yulin soldiers, to Chengtian Gate.
Then invite Li Xian out, go to Yingxian Palace, slaughter Erzhang Yizai, and force Wu Zetian to abdicate, and this matter will be counted as alive.
There is no danger or danger, it is a grand march of merit for nothing.
However, after listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words Zhang Tongxiu, Cui Geng could no longer firm up his original thoughts.
In historical records, the three words "Zhang Tongxiu" only appear twice.
For the first time, Zhang Tongxiu's identity was a Chunguan squire, saying that Prime Minister Yang Zaisi looked like a Goryeo, but Yang Zaisi was not annoyed, but took the initiative to provoke the Goryeo dance.
The second time, on the night of the Shenlong coup, Zhang Changqi, Zhang Changyi, and Zhang Tongxiu were beheaded on the Tianjin Bridge together.
In the first record, the position of "Spring Official Squire" is very strange, at least Cui Geng has never heard of the name Zhang Tongxiu now. But since he can make Yang Zaisi bend his waist, this status is definitely not low, and it is by no means as simple as Zhang Changzong's clansmen.
The second record shows that people do regard Zhang Tongxiu as Zhang Changzong's ironcore, and they must be killed that night in order to rest assured.
Now the problem is that Zhang Tongxiu is under the command of Wu Zetian, who is a little afraid of the rat club, and is Zhang Changzong's henchman.
Can he not know about Zhang Cambodia's infiltration of the forbidden army?
In the meantime, maybe how many secret wars have been experienced before the Shenlong coup can be completed. If you are not careful, it is not known who will kill the deer.
The most important thing is that this secret war is not clearly written in the history books, and he has completely lost the advantage of foresight!
Shangguan Wan'er Bingxue was smart, of course she saw Cui Geng's gaffe, and said unhappily: "What? Are you still hiding with me? โ
Cui Geng said: "It's not that it's hidden, it's that I suddenly remembered something." โ
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Wan'er pursed her mouth slightly, and said narrowly: "Could it be, the only heroes in the world are Jun and Cao'er, right?" โ
"Aunt said with a smile, I'm not Liu Bei, and you're not Cao Cao. What the son-in-law wanted to say just now was, the ...... Zhang Changzong has such a force, will he use any dirty means against you, he is really anxious. โ
Shangguan Wan'er said: "When you don't have the strength, you will use dirty means." has strength, of course, it is to use yang. Zhang Changzong has been delivering a message to His Majesty and pointing me out to him. โ
It turned out that Zhang Changzong did not dare to openly get involved with Shangguan Wan'er because she was Wu Zetian's personal secretary. Now that Shangguan Wan'er has lost her original status, Zhang Changzong of course has no scruples.
Cui Geng guessed that Shangguan Wan'er's fall from grace was not only due to Erzhang's slander, but also because she was too close to herself, which was also one of the reasons. After all, he is the number one thug of the crown prince Li Xian, and Wu Zetian must be guarded against.
The only thing Cui Geng hasn't figured out is that
"With the special relationship between His Majesty and Zhang Changzong, can you agree to such a request?"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Do you think that with Your Majesty's current age and physical condition, you can still do things like men and women?" She sometimes even looks at Erzhang and the palace maid...... That's what. It's just that I still have some face in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty has never let go. However, Zhang Changzong is soft and hard, and I am afraid that he will not last long. โ
Her Majesty is really good at playing.
Cui Geng frowned and said: "The only way to do this is to marry my aunt." โ
"Marry whom?" Shangguan Wan'er said: "First of all, that person has to be in front of His Majesty, and his face will not be lost to Erzhang." Secondly, he had to promise that after I got married, he would not touch my body. โ
It is not difficult to find someone who can speak in front of Wu Zetian. For example, Wu Sansi, such as the crown prince Li Xian...... However, what man can look at Lan Xinhui's Shangguan Wan'er and not do it?
Cui Geng's inspiration moved, and he thought of Li Bao'er's proposal at the beginning, and said, "Or, you go out of the palace to cultivate?" Then the two of them won't be able to control you. โ
"That's a good idea." Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed, and said, "With my face alone, it is difficult to ensure that Your Majesty will release people." Besides, there is Zhang Changzong who makes it bad. โ
"That's okay, the son-in-law will find a suitable opportunity to make a statement to His Majesty."
Shangguan Wan'er said happily: "Okay, Erlang, you have a lot of ghost ideas, maybe Your Majesty will really give you this face." โ
Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said, "Eh, by the way, Erlang, if you ask Your Majesty to marry me, do you think Your Majesty will agree?" โ
"The generations are all different, my aunt laughs ......" Cui Geng said this, and suddenly stumbled.
After careful study, there is no relationship between Cui Geng and Shangguan Wan'er, and it is too reluctant to call this aunt. It's just that every time Shangguan Wan'er insists, he called it.
For example, Lu Xiong is Lu Ruolan's godfather, and Cui Geng doesn't call this old man "godfather" or "godfather" all day long, and the world generally doesn't call him that.
Moreover, in these years, seniority is really not a big problem. For example, His Majesty Li Zhi, the great Tang Gaozong, once accepted Wu Shun (Wu Zetian's sister) and Wu Shun's daughter Helan Minyue together, plus Wu Zetian...... It's a mess.
For another example, Li Xian accepted Jincheng princess Li Nunu as a righteous daughter, but in fact, she is the granddaughter of the late prince Li Xian, and Li Nunu should be Li Xian's granddaughter.
Of course, no matter what you say, Cui Geng can't really ask to marry Shangguan Wan'er.
Otherwise, if you invite this Buddha back, where can Lu Ruolan, the eldest woman's face, go? The etiquette is passable, but Lu Ruolan's heart is absolutely unbearable.
Cui Geng hurriedly got up and said, "Aunt said that she laughed, if there is nothing else, my son-in-law has left." โ
"Really don't think about it?" Shangguan Wan'er licked her lips. deliberately teased: "Taiping is very interested in you." It's not like I can't promise you once or twice if I'm with her. โ
Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er together?
Cui Geng's mind quickly flashed a piece of beautiful scenes, he couldn't resist it, and said, "What's that...... The son-in-law retires! โ
Then, he fled into the wilderness.

The next few days were generally peaceful, and the only thing that was a little unusual was that the Silla envoy did not return to China after receiving the receipt from the Chunguan (Ministry of Rites), but stayed in Chang'an. He and Zhang Changzong have a very close past, and they don't know what kind of conspiracy they are engaged in.
The negotiations with the Russian special service and Da Zhou were not very smooth, but Cui Geng was too lazy to care about the life and death of the nine Turkic surnames, and he had to avoid suspicion, so he simply ignored it.
After all, the two Tibetan nobles still didn't meet Lu Ruolan, so they stayed temporarily in the State Guesthouse in Da Zhou. As for which side of Da Zhou is helping? To be honest, Da Zhou is now fighting fiercely, and he really can't take care of Tubo's affairs.
On this day, Cui Geng suddenly received a gilded invitation, and the prince Li Xian was invited.
What's up?
Could it be that you really came up with a way to marry Li Bao'er to me?
Cui Geng's heart was excited, and he came in the direction of the Prince's East Palace.
