In fact, as soon as Cui Geng came in today, he had a sense of déjà vu.

In the records of later generations, it should be Di Renjie who entered the palace to perform an event, and when he saw Zhang Changzong and Wu Zetian playing Shuanglu together, he said: "Weichen also wants to play one game, two wins in three games, and use the purple robe on Weichen to bet on the Jicuiqiu worn by Zhang Changzong." ”

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Liulang's collection of emerald fur is worth more than a thousand gold, and Di Qing's purple robe cannot be equaled." ”

Di Renjie replied: "Weichen's purple robe is the costume worn by the minister when he meets the Son of Heaven, which is noble and priceless; And Zhang Changzong's collection of cuiqiu is just a reward for favor. The two are opposite, and Weichen is still at a loss. ”

Wu Zetian had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Changzong felt ashamed and depressed, his momentum was sluggish, and he lost one after another, and finally lost Jicuiqiu to Di Renjie. After Di Ren distinguished the palace, he gave Jicuiqiu to a house slave to put on and rode away.

As soon as he thought of this allusion, Cui Geng completely thought that today was Di Renjie's job and had nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, history has changed, and Zhang Changzong is deliberately trying to seize the position of the crown prince's left prison to lead the government!

The most important thing is that listening to the meaning of Wu Zetian's words, she also supports Zhang Changzong! Well, Her Majesty the Empress once promised that after she came back, she would be promoted to the head of the Prince's Left Prison Sect, and now she must be taking this opportunity to regret it!

This scheming!

Cui Geng's mind was spinning, and he had already figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that your words are inappropriate. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"The crown prince's left prison is leading the government, although it is not very respectful, but it is also the official position of the imperial court, representing His Majesty's law. With such a job, how can it be compared to a collection of cuiqiu that is worth no more than a thousand gold? ”

This is Cui Geng's old wisdom of emulating Di Renjie, but Wu Zetian respects Di Renjie, but it doesn't mean that he has to respect him Cui Erlang.

I only heard Her Majesty the Empress say: "It is true that the original crown prince Zuojian Men led the mansion to be the main position of the imperial court, but in the future, I am going to change this yamen to control the crane prison." Although the Crane Prison still retains the right to supervise the world, it mainly provides me with offerings, such as fine wine, food, and even entertainment. That is, it is worth a piece of cuiqiu, even if it is entrusted to a non-person, it is not a big deal. ”

I'm afraid I have to add a beautiful man, Cui Geng secretly rolled his eyes.

Of course, Wu Zetian said that this job is so unbearable, and if he can't fall in love with the stack anymore, won't he become a lucky villain? Zhang Changzong can be shameless, but he still wants it?!

What to do?

Cui Geng looked at Di Renjie for help.

Lao Di Tou immediately understood, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty invited Weichen and Cui Shushu to come today, shouldn't it be for this trivial matter?" ”

To tell the truth, Wu Zetian called Di Renjie today, and he really wanted him to be a witness, showing that he was impartial and had no intention of breaking his word and getting fat. However, this purpose can only be understood but not spoken. It's okay to call Di Renjie, a third-grade master, to watch an unimportant game, that is not a wise man's move.

Wu Zetian said: "Of course, it's not just for this matter, I had a dream yesterday that I dreamed that I went down to Shuanglu with a heavenly girl, and I didn't win several games." After waking up, I felt uneasy, and I came to recruit Di Qing and Cui Qing to interpret their dreams. ”

In these years, people pay attention to the induction of heaven and man, and it is not trivial for the emperor to have a dream, so it is not reasonable to ask you Di Renjie to ask right?

However, Wu Zetian still underestimated Di Renjie, and only listened to him: "Regarding Your Majesty's dream, the minister has a solution: the so-called double land is invincible, and the implication is that there is no child. I heard that His Majesty has the intention of changing the prince, this is a warning from the Son of Heaven to Your Majesty! ”

"I ......"

Wu Zetian was speechless for a while by Di Renjie, so he simply changed the topic and said: "Oh, it turns out that the situation of the two continents can involve the intention of the prince to abolish the establishment, that is really not to be underestimated." Case...... I think that Cui Aiqing and Liulang borrowed a double land game to gamble on the position of the crane supervisor, which is not too much. ”

Her Majesty the Empress and Di Renjie were tied this time, but Cui Geng was bitter, so he had to say: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Immediately, Shangguan Wan'er set up the chess pieces and started again with a game of shuanglu.

The rules of this game are that each player holds two dice and fifteen pieces (or horses). Each side shakes its own dice, and after shaking a few points, you can take a few steps. Until you completely remove your pieces from the board, the one who moves out first wins.

Overall, this game is both smart and game-oriented. Speaking of wisdom, it is important to plan the route of the horses because a maximum of two horses are allowed at the same time in one location. Speaking of luck, it is the number of points of the throw, and the difference between two points and twelve points is quite large.

However, just as the game began, another moth appeared.

I saw that Zhang Changzong did not take the original dice on the chessboard, but took out a small brocade box from his sleeve pocket.

When I opened the brocade box, there was a pair of ivory dice inside, white and moist, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Di Renjie couldn't see it at that time, and said: "Zhang Changzhi, you use your own dice, it is inevitable that you are suspected of cheating, right?" ”

Zhang Changzong was named General Yunlu, the secretary and supervisor, the left Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, and the right scattered cavalry, so Di Renjie was called this.

Zhang Changzong played such a trick deliberately, of course, he had already thought about the countermeasures, snorted, and said, "Cheating? What cheats? This pair of dice was given by His Majesty himself, is Manager Di trying to slander the monarch's father? ”

Wu Zetian also said: "This pair of dice was indeed given to Liulang by me, and there is no reason to cheat." ”

The devil believes in you! Can't cheat, Zhang Changzong is full of dice and dice!

Cui Geng and Di Renjie scolded together in their hearts. But that is, I scolded in my heart, and I must not openly doubt the credibility of Her Majesty the Empress.

Cui Geng even thought about it, yes, I know that my ability to play Shuanglu is not as good as Zhang Changzong, but Zhang Changzong himself doesn't know. So, he wanted to cheat on this pair of dice to win me safely.

If the technique doesn't work, the dice can't work, then I'm not going to lose?

Hey? That's not right!

Dice...... Dice that can cheat......

It seems that there is still a chance to win!

Like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind, Cui Geng's heart suddenly brightened!

"Since Zhang Changshou can use his own dice, can Weichen also use his own?"

As he spoke, Cui Geng stretched out his hand and took out a very small brocade box from his sleeve pocket. When I opened the box, there were two dice inside!

The dice seemed to be carved from a piece of flawless jade, glowing with a strange sheen. Although it is not very bright, it has a special charm of its own, which makes people reluctant to take their eyes off it at first sight.

There is no doubt that these two dice are much more high-end than Zhang Changzong's two.

What's going on? Didn't Cui Geng be recruited temporarily this time? How could he come with such high-end dice? I haven't heard that Cui Geng is addicted to play!

By now, Di Renjie, Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, and even Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi are all completely confused.

Zhang Changzong said: "Cui Shushu, where did you get this dice?" I can use these two dice because they were given by His Majesty. Your two dice are of unknown origin and must never be used! ”

Cui Geng snorted coldly and said, "Although this official is not a gift from His Majesty, it is to be dedicated to His Majesty." ”

Zhang Changzong was surprised and said, "What? Dedicated to Your Majesty? ”

Cui Geng didn't continue to ignore Zhang Changzong, looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that Chai Yunrui, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Rao is the city government of Wu Zetian, and he couldn't help but blush when he heard this. Chai Yunrui? Of course she remembers, this is her old love~ person. It's just that after having the Zhang brothers, he gradually forgot about him. Even this time, Chai Yunrui didn't come back with Cui Geng, and he didn't ask.

Wu Zetian asked: "Of course I remember Chai Aiqing, but what do these two dice have to do with Chai Aiqing?" ”

"At the beginning, Weichen was stationed in Danzhou City, and 100,000 Khitan people attacked, and there was a worry that the city would be broken at any time. At the critical moment, Chai Shilang led two hundred righteous troops to suddenly kill from behind the Khitans and relieved the danger of Danzhou. At the celebration banquet, Chai seniors praised Weichen's good luck and asked Weichen for something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"He said that what he promised His Majesty has been done, so he will not return to Luoyang, and let Weichen restore his life on his behalf."

Although Zhang Changzong didn't know who Chai Yunrui was, it didn't prevent him from accusing Cui Gengdao: "So, you agreed?" The courtier should be loyal to the king, and the person surnamed Chai will leave directly, which is already a big crime! You are guilty of helping him! ”

Cui Geng said: "Of course I know that Chai Shilang's move is inappropriate, and he is kind to persuade him." But Chai Shilang insisted on not listening, and handed me this brocade box and a letter for me to pass on to His Majesty. ”

Wu Zetian couldn't wait to say, "Where is that letter?"

"It's under the brocade box, and Weichen doesn't dare to look at it."

Only when you lose can you know how to cherish, Wu Zetian turned his bowels at this time, and tremblingly took out a piece of paper from under the brocade box, which was densely written with fly's heads.

Mei Niang saw the letter like a meeting: ...... Reminiscing about the old days when I had a drink under the moon......"

As the lines of handwriting came into view, Wu Zetian's mind returned to that unusually beautiful night.

At that time, he and Chai Yunrui were drinking under the moon, and he proposed to play backgammon. But the enemy insisted on refusing, he said that he was really invincible.

I didn't believe it at first, and I kept begging to be coquettish, just like a young girl. As a result, Chai Yunrui was forced to agree to play the next game with him.

I was dumbfounded this time, Chai Yunrui's technique was too clever, even if it was an ordinary dice, he could roll two sixes at will, and he had no chance of winning.

He was coquettish, so Chai Yunrui promised himself to help himself make a dice that could roll two sixes at will.

I thought this was a joke, but I didn't expect him to really remember it.

"Yunrui, Yunrui, you're making it difficult for me." Wu Zetian looked at Chai Yunrui's last request, and couldn't help but murmur.

But it turned out that in the end, Chai Yunrui asked Wu Zetian to take care of Cui Geng.

On the one hand, there is an old love~ people, and on the other hand, there is a new love, and it is really difficult to decide.

She thought for a moment and asked Cui Gengdao, "Since this letter and dice have long been in Cui Shu's hands, why do you only think of transferring it to me now?" ”

Cui Geng said cautiously: "Isn't Weichen afraid that His Majesty will be angry?" So I didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it. Later, you never asked Chai Shilang about it, and Weichen kept this brocade box with him, ready to report to His Majesty at any time.

"That's ......"

Wu Zetian thought about it carefully, and said that he had failed Chai Yunrui's affection.

That's it, that's it, let me make up for it a little bit.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I will allow Cui Shu to use the two dice that Chai Shilang gave me to hit the double land." Now I announce that this game has begun, and the winner will be determined by one round! ”

"Yes!"

Cui Geng and Zhang Changzong responded in unison and started the game!
