Zhang Changzong sneered: "Oh? Why does Cui's book think so, this official is willing to hear it in detail! ”

Cui Geng said confidently: "Does Zhang Changshi still want to ask, can the son of Princess Taiping also offer such a precious treasure bed to his mother?" In fact, these two problems are one and two, two and one problems. The official thinks that for the son of man, offering this bed to his mother is not only not filial piety, but also great unfilial piety, and the son of Princess Taiping will never be like this...... Birds ~ beasts are not as good! ”

"You ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Cui Geng didn't give an inch, and said: "Yes, all the items on this Qibao bed are precious and abnormal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this bed is worth even the city." But, then again, what is a bed for? It's used to sleep. Zhang Changshou thinks that sleeping on this bed will make it easier for people to sleep peacefully than in an ordinary bed? ”

"I ......" Zhang Changzong was speechless for a while.

In fact, the decorative significance of the Qibao bed is far greater than the actual meaning, it is just good-looking, and no one will really sleep with this bed. There are all clear-eyed people present, and if Zhang Changzong opens his eyes and says nonsense, it will be humiliating himself.

Cui Geng was unforgiving, and continued: "So, can this official think so, this Qibao bed is not used by you to dedicate to your mother to help her sleep, but to prove to outsiders that you are very filial. The maid is not sincere, only for the sake of her own reputation, the official said that you are not as good as a bird ~ beast, is it too much? ”

"I ......"

In fact, Zhang Changzong's filial piety to Wei Azang is by no means as serious as Cui Geng said. Wei Azang likes luxury, and he must be very happy to get this treasure bed, isn't this considered filial piety?

However, Cui Geng's sentences were deducted from the use of the bed itself, which made Zhang Changzong really difficult to refute for a while!

After a long time, he thought of the wording and said, "No matter how inappropriate this bed is, it is also a piece of love for my mother." Now that my mother is enjoying all the wealth, what is there not? Isn't it just these extravagant things that are a little new? Cui Siye's words are too nitpicky, and he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

"Oh? Is it? Cui Geng sneered and said, "The official said that your mother's filial piety is not enough, and you still don't believe it, this time you finally showed your feet, right?" Let me tell you, Xue Chongjian's little prince also prepared a treasure bed and dedicated it to Princess Taiping, although this bed is far less precious than your seven-treasure bed, it is very comfortable. ”

How could it be such a coincidence?

Zhang Changzong pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, whether there is such a bed or not, isn't it up to you Cui Siye." This official can't take someone to search Princess Taiping's mansion right now, right? Moreover, whether it is comfortable or not, Princess Taiping said yes, and if she said no, it was not, and it didn't make any sense. ”

"Of course, this official has a way for Zhang Changshi to verify." Cui Geng said: "Princess Taiping was very happy to see the treasure bed, and she was ready to make another one to dedicate to Your Majesty." In a few days, Zhang Changshou will surely be able to see a similar treasure bed. If you don't believe Princess Taiping's words, you have to believe Your Majesty's words, right? ”

Of course, Princess Taiping knew that what Cui Geng said was purely false, but at the critical moment, she couldn't drop the chain, and nodded: "Well, the matter of the treasure bed is indeed true." ”

This time, Zhang Changzong was dumbfounded, and said hatefully: "Okay, then the official will wait and see!" ”

……

……

The whole wedding of Wei Azang and Li Zhenxiu, in the end, Princess Taiping was in the limelight, and even her son Xue Chongjian was praised by people for offering both new dishes and treasure beds.

Of course, Princess Taiping was very satisfied, but ...... If the matter of the treasure bed is exposed, then the previous work will be wasted.

After leaving the wedding scene and coming to a secluded and uninhabited place, Princess Taiping gently pulled Cui Geng's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Erlang, is the treasure bed you said reliable or not?" ”

"Of course, when did you see me Cui Erlang say big things?"

Princess Taiping glanced at him and said, "Hmph, there are no big words, but there are a lot of lies." Who knows which of your sentences is true and which one is false? For example, today, during the banquet, if you and Li Bao'er do something, I suspect it...... Does this really like Princess Ben? ”

Belch...... Why does it smell like vinegar?

Cui Geng hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What, let's talk about the bed." Let me draw a pattern, and you will send someone to the palace to make this "bed" ready, which will definitely satisfy His Majesty and block Zhang Changzong without words. ”

"Why did you go to the palace to do it?" Princess Taiping wondered: "Shouldn't it be done and sent to the saint again?" ”

"Of course not, because ...... What Weichen wants to do should be called ~ bed accurately, but ...... "kang". ”

That's right, what Cui Geng is going to use to deal with Wu Zetian is not an ordinary bed, but a "fire kang". What kind of tricks can the bed be tossed, the bed of later generations and the bed of the Tang Dynasty, the style may be different, but the essence is not different.

However, if Cui Geng comes up with a "fire kang", he can win by surprise.

Although the "fire kang" has almost disappeared in the modern society of later generations, in the more than 1,000 years after the Tang Dynasty, "south bed and north kang" is a common phenomenon. The south is hot and humid, and people live on bamboo and wooden beds, suspended from top to bottom, which is conducive to air flow, which is cool and not easy to get damp, which is very suitable. The north is cold, and the ondol is the most convenient and convenient way to heat up.

In Luoyang City in this era, the "fire kang" is more advanced than the "bed", representing a more advanced productive force.

Especially Wu Zetian is seventy years old this year, his body is weak, he is close to the brazier, and it is too hot. It was far away, and I suddenly felt cold. Sometimes, it's even cold in the front and cold in the back, and it doesn't feel right.

But with the ondol, it's different, this thing is like an earth heater, not only has a uniform temperature, but also has a therapeutic effect, which is very good for her old arms and legs.

This kind of benefit does not have to be manifested for many years, and after only one night's sleep, it feels relaxed and full of praise. I even felt so comfortable that I wanted to "never be the king from now on".

After hearing that this thing was offered by Xue Chongjian, Wu Zetian was overjoyed and personally summoned this grandson and named him the Duke of Yingguo.

In this way, Xue Chongjian didn't do anything, and he got a big lottery.

However, as soon as the benefits of this "fire kang" are recognized, it means that the two Zhang brothers were defeated that day, can the mood be good?

Imperial Palace, inside the Yingxian Pavilion.

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi sat facing each other, and there was their dog-headed military advisor Ji Ji next to them, sitting sideways to accompany each other.

Zhang Changzong frowned slightly, and said sourly: "Hmph, Li Lingyue's cheap~ person, she has been very proud of the spring breeze recently." Not only did his son get the light of Cui Geng, but he was knighted by the old lady. is also known as "Princess Xian" because of her funding into a prison. Hehe, a virtuous princess who is as good as she can do, those people can really scream. ”

Ji Ji said cautiously: "You can't say that, Princess Taiping's original reputation is like that, but later, what a high sword." Cui Xiang, Cui Di, Cui Li, they all went to teach in Sungjun. Many people said that she used to pretend to be a prodigal wreckage, but she was actually selecting materials for the country. ”

"Hmph, choose materials for the country to go to bed?" Zhang Yizhi disapplauded, and said: "What kind of virtue is she, she can hide it from others, but she can't hide it from our brother." ”

Zhang Changzong waved his hand and said, "It's useless to say that, now that Li Lingyue is tied up with Cui Geng, let's think about how to get rid of them." Alas, our biggest reliance is the old lady, but this reliance is of little use to the two of them! ”

"Useless?" Ji Ji rolled his eyes and said, "That's not true. Actually, I think it's not useless, but how to use it! For example, in front of His Majesty, suing this pair of dog men and women for their tricks, it will definitely not work. Your Majesty is a British lord, and if you don't rub sand in your eyes, you will be able to see through it. We have to find an opportunity for them to really make mistakes on their own initiative, and then take the opportunity to make His Majesty feel bad for them. ”

Zhang Changzong's eyes lit up, and he said: "Listen to the meaning of your words, do you have a plan?" Okay, say it, say it! ”

Ji Ji nodded and said, "Princess Taiping is Your Majesty's biological daughter, so she can only figure it slowly. The top priority now is to deal with Cui Geng and Cui Erlang. Isn't he mainly busy with Cheng Junjian now? As long as he messes up this errand, can His Majesty continue to protect him? ”

Zhang Yizhi hesitated and said, "But this Chengjun Prison is teaching students." The people invited by Cui Geng are all knowledgeable, and those students are also very diligent when they hear about it, how can they be much better than those gentlemen in the original prison, how can they mess up? ”

Ji Ji smiled slightly, and said, "Messed up or not, isn't it just a word from Your Majesty?" Don't forget, the inmates of Chengjun Prison are divided into four levels, with a five-year school system, and they can be promoted by exam every year. If you pass the exam every year, you will be awarded directly after five years. If...... None of Cui Geng's nearly students could be promoted, and His Majesty saw it with his own eyes, so he couldn't quibble. What do you say, what does this mean for Cui Geng? ”

When Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yiyi heard this, they instantly understood in seconds, cheating. It's just that the usual cheating is to get students high scores. This cheating is to pit all those loyal ministers! In addition, we have to find a way to let Wu Zetian come to the scene in person, and even preside over the exam in person.

Zhang Changzong patted Ji Ji on the shoulder and said, "The idea is good, but the specifics are ...... What to do? ”
