Zhang Yongdao: "May I ask what is Zhengshuo?" ”

Wei Li replied: "The righteous one, the beginning of the year; The beginning of the month. Those who are right, the time of heaven is also, and the destiny of heaven is also. Today, my Datang is Zhengshuo, and Zhengshuo is Datang. ”

"Not bad. My Datang has four seas and four Yi guests. Whether it is a small country in Puer, or a large country such as Tibet and Turkic, they all regard our Tang Dynasty as Zhengshuo and use the calendar of our Tang Dynasty. Now the question is, if one day, a certain vassal country promulgates a calendar by itself, how should I deal with it? ”

"That is, the small country of Fanbang does not accept the king, and I should ...... the Tang Dynasty Should...... Envy and power, so that it will be re-enshrined in my Datang Dynasty. ”

"Okay, what a grace and power! I still thought that your brother Wei would say that people from afar were not satisfied with Xiu Wende. ”

"Hmph, so-and-so is not an ancient eater. What's the use of being able to reason with those barbarians? When necessary, it is natural to use soldiers. ”

"Treating the barbarians with soldiers, Zhang has no objection. But...... What if people's calendars are more advanced than our Datang? ”

"How could that not be?"

"How could it not be? Is there no saint in Fanbang? Who was the Buddha Shakyamuni? Moreover, it is not necessary to be a saint, just an ordinary person with natural talents. Our Datang's "Lin De Calendar" is becoming more and more inaccurate, isn't this a fact? ”

"Uh...... If there is really a small country with an advanced calendar, I will select talents to rebuild the calendar. ”

Zhang Yong waited for this sentence, and said: "That's right, it is to rebuild the calendar." The most important thing in rebuilding the calendar is to observe the celestial phenomena in detail. The more accurate the timekeeping tool, the more accurate the observed celestial phenomena will be, and the more accurate the calendar will be. A certain virtuous nephew was entrusted by Cui Xiang to invent clocks and watches, which was to prepare for the imperial court to rebuild the calendar. Imagine, if this clock was invented by the Tibetan people, and then they relied on the clock to invent a more advanced calendar, how could I be embarrassed by the Tang Dynasty? What is the face of my Datang, claiming to be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire? ”

"This ......," Wei Li was speechless.

Zhang Yong was unforgiving, and continued: "Or ...... The Tang calendar is not as good as others, so it is necessary to send troops to attack and force people to use backward calendars? Could it be that Zheng Guogong taught future generations like this? ”

Wei Li hurriedly defended: "I didn't say that. ”

"Since I haven't said that, then Brother Wei, why do you think that clocks and watches are completely strange and ingenious, and they are not worth mentioning at all? Could it be that Zheng Guogong told his children and grandchildren that the fame of the Tang Dynasty is not worth mentioning at all? ”

"Of course not!"

"So...... Does Brother Wei think that he is Zheng Guogong's unscrupulous descendant? ”

"I ......"

Wei Li was so red that he was squeezed, and he really wanted to get into the crack in front of him.

It's just that he said too much just now, and now that he can't even admit defeat.

No, it is a humble title, which means that I am not like someone's descendant, and I am not worthy to be someone's descendant.

It's okay to be humble in this statement, but if you are forced to admit it, for a person like Wei Li who relies on the fame of his ancestors to eat, it is not much better than death.

Fortunately in misfortune, today he took the lead in rebelling against Cui Geng, and someone saved him.

"Brother Zhang has to be forgiving and forgiving, why do you want to do things so desperately?" An old man with gray hair and an extraordinary appearance said.

Zhang Yong really didn't know this person, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Dare to ask you how ...... you are?"

The old man pulled out his chest and said proudly: "Old decay Cui Congli." You may not know my name, but I have a nephew and son-in-law, who are very famous. ”

"Who is your old nephew and son-in-law?"

"It's the day!"

"When today?"

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shocked.

He has already understood the true identity of Cui Congli today, Empress Wei's uncle!

In other words, it was the unlucky guy who was stabbed to death by the Silla people on the Xuanwu Gate that day, Cui Wu's father.

At the beginning, He Lou Aoqing and Cui Wu got married, and Li Xian and Wei Hou were the main marriages of both men and women.

On the one hand, Empress Wei wants to take revenge on Cui Geng, and on the other hand, it also shows that Empress Wei attaches great importance to Cui Congli, a relative.

"The emperor marries a daughter, and the queen marries a woman", which is really extremely honorable.

The most terrible thing is that although Cui Wu was not killed by Cui Geng, it would not be in line with reality to say that it had nothing to do with him.

Cui Congli came here today, there is no doubt that this is to find Cui Geng's trouble.

Zhang Yong couldn't care about squeezing Wei Li at this time, laughed dryly, and said: "It turned out to be Old Man Cui, of course you have to give your old face." ”

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring to blow up the thorn."

Then, Cui Congli turned his head and said to Zhang Zitao again: "It's not too early, the old man wants to go to the high platform to sit, Zhang family master, you don't have any opinions, right?" ”

Qinghe Cui's family advocated Zitao's complexion, which was already extremely ugly at this time.

Nominally, this grand event was hosted by the Zhang family, and the Wei family only assisted. However, when Cui Congli came, he didn't know it.

Zhang Zitao secretly scolded in his heart, grandma's, Lao Tzu was put on the table by Wei Li again! If I hadn't been prepared today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Of course, Cui Congli also saw his displeasure, and said, "What? Isn't the old decay qualified to be on stage, say a few words? ”

Zhang Zitao had no choice but to say: "Where, of course you are qualified to take the stage." ”

"That's good."

Immediately, with the support of Zhang Zitao and Wei Li, Cui Congli stepped onto the stage.

After a while, the gong sounded, the flags were lined up, and Cui Geng's honor guard arrived.

"See Cui Xiang!"

Anyway, Cui Geng is now the Pingzhangshi of the Zhongshu Sect, the Household Department Shangshu, and the Duke of Chu Guo, with a noble status, and the people in the audience have greeted him.

But Cui Congli, who was on the high platform, said in a deep voice: "Don't kneel!" ”

As a result, Wei Li and Zhang Zitao, like this old man, sat on the high platform.

Of course, Cui Geng also saw this anomaly. He ordered everyone to get up, and he took Wei Yun'er and Wei Xue'er to step onto the high platform, clasped his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Dare to ask the old man, who are you?" ”

"Hmph, I have heard Cui Geng arrogant for a long time, and he can't be a lifetime. When I saw it today, it was true. How? Don't you even recognize the old man? ”

Zhang Zitao hurriedly introduced: "So that Cui Xiang can know that this old man is also surnamed Cui, and he is the uncle of the current queen." ”

As soon as Cui Geng heard it, he understood that the taste was coming.

This is Cui Wu's father, no wonder he was so weird to himself just now. Arrogance is unacceptable...... When did you ever have this name?

Cui Geng bowed and made a big salute and said, "It turned out to be my uncle and grandfather in person." Uncle and grandfather are above, please be worshiped by my son-in-law! ”

The queen's uncle is Li Bao'er's uncle and grandfather, and of course Cui Geng has to be called so. This week is a matter of course, and it is not a loss.

Cui Congli's expression eased slightly, and said, "So many people came to participate in this conference today, for the sake of Cui Erlang." The old man has a few heartfelt words to say, would you like to hear them? ”

"The son-in-law is willing."

"Okay, listen up...... The old man had 100 households in Weizhou, and they suffered from the drought, and the old man was deeply sympathetic. However, this tax cannot be reduced! Don't look at the old man is the queen's uncle, he is glamorous on the outside, but he is actually very empty on the inside. The closed households in Weizhou do not pay taxes, do they want the old man to take the whole family and go out to ask for food? The queen's face, do you want it? ”

Cui Congli exhaled, his voice was loud, it was obvious that this was said to Cui Geng on the surface, but in fact it was said to everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience became noisy.

"Yes, yes! This Weizhou's tax cannot be reduced or reduced! ”

"Those people are all households, and even if they don't harvest, they must have savings. What's the point of making them pay taxes for a year? ”

"These closures are the result of the merits of my ancestors, why should Cui Xiang be generous to others?"

"The land of the Andong Protectorate is worthless, we don't want it!"

……

Originally, these people were hindered by Cui Geng's power, and they wanted to discuss with Cui Geng and ask for compensation.

But with Cui Congli taking the lead, their courage suddenly increased. There are those who cry poor, those who question Cui Geng's intentions, and those who even intimidate and accuse.

Gradually, it became a siege.

Wei Li's face showed a smug smile, and he secretly thought in his heart, Cui Erlang, Cui Erlang, when you ordered your subordinates to beat me, did you think about today's fate? Right now...... But regret it?
