Li Bao'er said: "Jianmen Pass is the gateway to Shu, but since the first year of Tianzhu, this place has been assigned to Longyou Dao, not to Jiannan Dao. Presumably it was you, Cui Da's envoy, who only paid attention to the one acre and three points of land in Jiannan Road, and didn't notice the abnormality of Jianmen Pass, right? ”

"What's wrong with the Sword Gate Pass?"

"Official documents are not allowed to pass without inspection. Ordinary people were all searched, especially letters, etc. ”

Cui Geng's face changed slightly, he laughed dryly, and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is guarding against me Cui Erlang?" However, this act alone is not enough to stop my ears and eyes, right? ”

The corners of Li Bao'er's mouth curled slightly, and she said meaningfully: "Of course, it's not enough to block Erlang's ears and eyes." But, you think, who will tell you about this change of affairs in the court? ”

Cui Geng is right to think about it carefully, now is the critical moment in Wei Yuanzhong's case. In the case that Wu Zetian made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, who would dare to report to him?

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, if their letter is discovered by the defenders of the Sword Gate, aren't they afraid of doing their side a disservice?

Therefore, in fact, Wu Zetian's will is not to plug his own ears and eyes, but to block the mouths of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Cui Geng was puzzled: "Since no one dares to tell me this news...... Then why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send you to Chengdu? ”

"Because he doesn't want to sit back and wait."

Li Bao'er paused, imitated Li Xian's tone, and said: "When King Gu was ousted from the throne and assigned to Fangzhou, he had already died once. This time, the Lone King is bound to fight to the end. Cui Aiqing, if you are willing to help King Gu, you will immediately enter Beijing secretly with Bao'er. If you don't want to...... I'll leave it to you. ”

No wonder Li Bao'er has to convey it, these words simply imply a desperate bet!

Cui Geng secretly pondered, could it be that Li Xian was going to launch a military admonition? No, according to the normal development of history, the "Shenlong Coup" happened four years later, why did it come forward?

Did I change history? Still is...... I understand!

Suddenly, Cui Geng thought of a record of history. Just this year, the eldest son of the crown prince Li Xian, Li Chongrun, daughter Li Xianhui, and son-in-law Wu Yanji were executed by Wu Zetian's decree because they were talking about the Zhang brothers behind their backs.

You must know that Li Chongrun is Wu Zetian's grandson, Li Xianhui is Wu Zetian's granddaughter, Wu Yanji is Wu Chenghei's son, and Wu Zetian's nephew. What's more, Li Xianhui was pregnant at the time!

The three of them complained together, is it worth such a ruthless attack by Mrs. Wu? I'm afraid the water is very deep.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng can basically confirm that Li Bao'er's words are true. That's right, Li Xian really wants to make a big news, as for the result...... Anyway, according to history, it is not optimistic.

Of course, no matter how dangerous it is to return to Beijing, since Li Xian has said this, Cui Geng can't retreat.

Cui Geng said: "The Sword Gate Pass is well defended, if I don't openly rebel, I can't bring back many soldiers." ”

"At the beginning of the Xuanwumen Change, Emperor Taizong used no more than 500 soldiers and horses. The three hundred soldiers and horses of Erlang's right control of the crane prison alone are enough. ”

Of course, Cui Geng understands that this is not how the accounts are calculated. I'm afraid that Li Xian also feels that he is not sure and is encouraging himself.

The reason is very simple, when the Xuanwu Gate changed, no matter which side the courtiers belonged to, they were always the courtiers of the Li family, and there was not much pressure to change the court.

But now, most of Luoyang's military power is controlled by officials surnamed Wu. Even if Li Xian kills Wu Sansi and Wu Zetian, I am afraid that it will be a vicious battle in the end. It is not yet known who killed the deer.

What's more-

He smiled bitterly and said: "Three hundred female soldiers are a gift from Your Majesty, and at the critical moment, loyalty is really doubtful." However, presumably with the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he did not only arrange my troops and horses. Without further ado, then I'll arrange for us to leave in three days? ”

……

……

This time it was a secret entry into Beijing, Feng Changqing, Zhou Xing, and Huang Youwei couldn't take them, their physical characteristics were too obvious, and they would be recognized if they couldn't keep them. The playwright is slightly better, but there are too many people who know him on the rivers and lakes, and it is not very suitable. As for Song Geun-hae...... It's useless to take a risk and take him there!

In the end, Cui Geng temporarily said that he was sick, and there were officials who visited him, and ordered the four of them to block the way. He himself, together with Cui Xiufang and Li Bao'er, pretended to be three scholars traveling together and came in the direction of Luoyang.

The sword gate was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and they didn't pay much attention to the people who went out, and the three of them went out smoothly. On this day, we finally arrived at Zhangzhuang Town, forty miles outside Luoyang City.

The last time Cui Geng went out of Beijing as an envoy to Jiannan Province and stayed overnight at Zhangzhuangyi, which triggered the case of Xu Yuanqing's assassination of Zhao Shiwen.

This time, they returned to Beijing secretly, so they were not qualified to live in Zhangzhuangyi. Fortunately, there is an inn called "Yuelai" next to Zhangzhuangyi, which is used by pedestrians and business travelers to rest.

Cui Geng and the three of them entered the inn on their own, and said in front of the counter: "Man, bring us three upper rooms!" ”

"Three upper rooms? I'm sorry, but there are only two upper rooms left in the shop today. Or, you guys are wronged? ”

"Yes."

Cui Geng and Cui Xiufang have long been husband and wife, and there is no problem with living in one room, as long as Li Bao'er is separated.

Cui Geng was going to pay for it at that time.

But at this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Don't be busy! Isn't it two rooms? Give us a room. ”

"Huh?"

Cui Geng turned his head to look, but saw three people standing behind him, two middle-aged Xie Errand and a prisoner in his fifties.

He was puzzled: "Next to it is Zhang Zhuangyi, why don't the two officials live in the free post station and come to the guest house?" ”

"You think we want to?" The official on the left looked gloomy and said: "The post of Zhang Zhuangyi is looking at people with low eyes, not to say that it is full, and it is not allowed to let us people who have no grade live." I have no choice but to stay in the inn for a while. ”

The guy at the Yuelai Inn refused to offend people, and said, "Having said that, you have to pay attention to the first come, first come, first come, right?" Or...... Do you discuss? Look at this guest officer, can you get an upper room? ”

How dare Cui Geng be in the same room with Li Bao'er, and immediately looked embarrassed.

The two officials knew that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger on the ground in Luoyang, but they didn't dare to force each other because Cui Geng and others were dressed ordinarily.

The official on the left hugged his fists and said: "We are the official of the Jizhou Assassin Mansion, my name is Qian Bao, and his name is Yang Jun." You look like you're a reader, right? Let me tell you, it's okay to look down on us servants, but you can't look down on the prisoners we escort. It makes sense that you have to share our room. ”

Cui Geng frowned slightly and said, "What?" Is this man a loyal and filial son?"

"I don't dare to say if it's a loyal minister, but that filial son is sure." Qian Bao pointed to the door and said, "Actually, one of the two people we escorted couldn't get off the ground and was waiting in the carriage." ”

"What are these two people?"

"The person in front of you, surnamed Du, is called Du Xianyan. I think that at the beginning, he also lived in the fourth rank of the official residence and was the author of the imperial court. The man in the carriage was his son, Duhe. Tut-tut...... What a great filial son, our brothers are very respectful! ”

Du Xianyan? Du and?

Cui Geng's heart moved, remembering that in later records, a major case in the Wu Zhou Dynasty that shook the government and the opposition.
