Cui Geng said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen recommends a person who can lift the black stone again." ”

Wu Zetian still wanted to win the Tubo people, so he immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Oh? Who is this person? ”

"His name is Gao Xianzhi! He came from Danzhou to attend Weichen's wedding. It's just that Gao Xianzhi is only a fourth-grade general Mingwei, and he can't enter the hall to watch the ceremony. Just call him and you'll be able to lift the black stone. ”

In fact, Gao Xianzhi is now in the fourth official position, and his official position is quite not low. However, again, the score is compared to whom.

Foreign military attachés are naturally one level lower than Beijing officials, and in Luoyang, he can only be equivalent to a fifth-grade official. This hall can hold more than 100 people in total, and of course, it is not Gao Xianzhi's turn to enter and take a seat.

Feng Changqing was able to come in because he was Cui Geng's confidant, and he was responsible for helping greet guests here. Gao Xianzhi himself is a guest, and he has to go elsewhere to eat according to the rules.

When Wu Zetian heard this, his resentment towards Cui Geng immediately disappeared, and he said, "Don't hurry up and invite Gao Aiqing here!" ”

"Yes!"

The effort is not big, Gao Xianzhi has already arrived.

His person was heroic, the jade tree was in the wind, Wu Zetian was happy when he saw it, and said: "Gao Aiqing, Feng Aiqing once lifted this black stone just now. Now Cui Aiqing recommends that you can also lift the black stone, I wonder if you are sure? ”

Gao Xianzhi knew that the opportunity was rare, and said: "What Brother Feng can do, Weichen can also do!" ”

After finishing speaking, he lifted the black stone without dragging the mud and water, and also turned it around five times, and his face did not change when his breath did not grow.

Wu Zetian was overjoyed, in front of so many people, he couldn't talk about merit and deeds, right? Gao Xianzhi held the black stone and turned it around five times, doesn't this show that this Tubo attack has been completely solved?

She said happily: "General Gao has made a meritorious contribution in lifting stones today, and he has been crowned a man from Miyun County." Cui's work is recommended meritorious, and the "Shendu Times" will continue to be in your hands, and the secretary and supervisor have no right to interrogate. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui Geng and Gao Xianzhi knelt down together to thank him.

Lou Shide saw the bargain, glanced at the four prime ministers, and knelt on the ground and said: "I have many famous generals in the Great Zhou, and there are successors, all of which are caused by Your Majesty's great fortune, and Weichen congratulates Your Majesty!" ”

The implication of this is, of course, to take off the name of "unable to read people".

The ministers also knelt on the ground one after another, and said, "The ministers congratulate Your Majesty." ”

Wu Yizong even pulled his neck and shouted: "Weichen also has merit, in the first battle of Danzhou, among the meritorious ministers recommended by Weichen, there are two generals, Changqing and Gao Xianzhi!" ”

"Good, good, good!"

Wu Zetian was in a very good mood and said: "It is a blessing for me and a blessing for the country to be able to win the two generals of Changqing and Gao Xianzhi in my Great Zhou!" Belch...... Of course, there is also the prime minister's ability to regulate yin and yang, and the merit recommended by the king of Hanoi! Come, Zhuqing, let's drink this cup to the full! ”

"Whoa!"

"What are you happy about?" When the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were enjoying themselves, they suddenly said cool words on meritorious deeds, and said angrily: "Your actions today reminded me of an allusion!" ”

"What allusion?"

"It is said that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty in your Central Plains, the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had the general Hua Xiong under his command, and the princes could not win. In the end, it was the horse archer Guan Yunchang who slashed Huaxiong with warm wine. Later, there were three heroes fighting against Lu Bu, and the three brothers of Liu Bei have been famous all over the world since then. However, it's a pity that Liu Bei later became the emperor, and Yuan Shao, the original leader of the alliance, died and the clan was wiped out. Think about it, is it very similar to today's events? ”

Okay, in order to sow discord, this guy did not hesitate to compare himself to Hua Xiong, and he also wanted to say that Cui Geng implied a heart of disobedience.

But then again, this one might ...... It's a little bit there.

Now whether it is Feng Changqing or Gao Xianzhi, they are not very old, but one official residence has six grades, and one official residence has four grades, and they do have extraordinary abilities, which can be called promising.

In another ten or twenty years, the military courage of the imperial court may be these two. They are all loyal to Cui Geng...... It's not that Cui Geng will definitely rebel, but it gives the emperor a headache, and even Cui Geng takes the initiative to participate in the abolition of the establishment, which is almost certain.

Cui Gengxin said, Nima's practice is too insidious, right? It's like a thief biting into the bone! With such an accusation, I can't even tell it!

He said in a deep voice: "On Gongzi, don't you think it's too much to provoke the relationship between my Great Zhou monarchs and ministers like this?" Tell you, useless! Even if I didn't have two generals in the Great Zhou, you Tubo would never be the opponent of the Great Zhou! ”

"A thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, is it too unfortunate for Cui to write this?"

"Not at all." Cui Geng said disdainfully: "If you have a lot of strength, you can win the battle?" How is that possible! Again, the key is ...... This! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his head and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to lift that black stone at all, it's almost feasible for everyone. ”

On Gongxing was slightly stunned, and said, "What do you mean?" You won't say that because there are many people in the Great Zhou, you will use people to carry them, right? ”

"Of course not, my Great Zhou is stronger than you Tubo, not only strength, but also wisdom! For example, with pulleys, you can easily lift heavy objects, so why do you need a strong man? ”

Pulleys have appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the skilled craftsmen of Tubo certainly understand the truth of pulleys, but they don't know about merit, so they hesitated: "Pulleys? What do you mean? ”

"If you don't believe the son, this official can show you now!"

Of course, Cui Geng doesn't have pulleys here, but the Ministry of Industry has, anyway, Qinghuafang is not far from the imperial city.

It didn't take much effort, so some officials from the Ministry of Industry brought a few pulleys and pieced together a simple lifting device.

Then, Cui Geng easily lifted the black stone one foot high and said, "What's the matter?" What this official can do by adding a few small tools alone, let Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing ...... Uh, and you said that Childe did it, it doesn't seem to be something to be proud of, right? Than what Guan Yu warm wine to cut Huaxiong? It's too much, it's too much! ”

Finally came over, and Cui Geng only breathed a sigh of relief until now.

Originally, great strength and a famous general are two different things, but it is not easy to explain it clearly - yes, even if Wu Zetian is a wise monarch through the ages, it is not easy. Her Majesty is only good at governance, and she is a mess militarily. Otherwise, he would not have held a good hand of cards in his hand, but he was cleaned up by the Turks and Tibetans and lost his temper. Otherwise, Wu Youyi, who is not good at military affairs, would not have been able to lead the troops all the time.

"How can that be the same?" On Gongren immediately saw through Cui Geng's careful thinking, and said: "What we just talked about is the battle between the two countries, of course, the personal martial arts of the general is very important. On the battlefield, how can you have time for what pulley to use? ”

"Hmph, short-sighted!" Cui Geng Zhenzhen said: "The role of the pulley is not only to lift heavy objects, but also to use it on the body of the trebuchet. Do you dare to say that trebuchets are not important on the battlefield? Not important in siege? ”

"Can it be used on trebuchets?" I really don't know about merit and deeds in this matter, and said: "Okay, even if your Cui book is reasonable, fighting a war mainly depends on the mind." Then why did your Zhou army repeatedly lose at the hands of our Tubo? It's not as good as our brains, right? Ha ha! ”
