Wu Sansi was slightly stunned and said, "What...... What tells you? โ€

Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wasn't King Liang Chitose in the palace just now?" Didn't you hear? Your Majesty said...... Dig three feet into the ground and find Princess Jincheng. โ€

This...... Is this Nima also counted?

Wu Sansi was so happy that he said, "What Your Majesty said is that even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Princess Jincheng." Cui Erlang, are you crazy because you are afraid of death? How can you misinterpret Your Majesty's words so indiscriminately? โ€

"Where." Cui Geng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom and Jade Words, every move implies heavenly opportunities. Therefore, she said that if she wanted to dig three feet into the ground to find Princess Jincheng, she would definitely be able to find it. โ€

"You ......" Wu Sansi was blocked by Cui Geng and rolled his eyes.

Although he knew that Cui Geng was arguing with strong words, he couldn't say that Wu Zetian was not a golden mouth, right?

Wu Sansi took a deep breath and said, "Even if Your Majesty points you a clear path, but the Second Holy Palace is so big, I want to see how you Cui Erlang digs!" โ€

This makes sense, digging three feet into the ground is an imaginary number, who knows how deep to dig? Such a large project is simply impossible to complete in a short period of time.

However, having said that, since Cui Geng dared to bet with him, he had a certain certainty.

This grasp is really related to "digging three feet into the ground".

Just now, Cui Geng was in the Fengxian Palace, listened to Wu Zetian's words, and suddenly remembered a record of later generations.

Later generations, when excavating archaeology, discovered a secret passage in the Jiaofang Hall (the queen's bedroom) of Weiyang Palace.

According to later speculation, there are mainly two palaces in the Han Dynasty: one is the Weiyang Palace is the emperor's residence, and the other is the Changle Palace for the queen mother's residence. The size of the two palaces is about the same, indicating that the emperor and the queen mother often fight against each other, and this secret passage may be built by the emperor to prevent changes in the palace.

Now, Princess Jincheng can't be found, isn't it in the secret passage of the Han Dynasty?

Of course, despite Cui Geng's speculation, there are still a few obstacles. For one, this guess may not be accurate. Second, people have been looking for so many days and haven't found it, which means that the mechanism for opening the secret passage is very secretive. Third, how can I explain to everyone that I am more familiar with the Second Holy Palace than Yang Wulian?

Of these three points, the second is best addressed. The people of later generations did not find the secret path only after discovering the mechanism, but dug it out randomly. Paint the scoop according to the gourd yourself, and let people dig the hometown of the pepper house.

The first point is not a problem, anyway, I was forced to do this part, and if I don't dig it, I have to dig it.

The most difficult thing is the third point, how do you Cui Geng know that you want to dig the hometown of Jiaofang Palace?

Cui Geng's eyes rolled, and he said nonsense: "The official guesses that since His Majesty said that he would dig three feet into the ground, the princess must be in a secret passage somewhere." If Yang Wulian didn't even know about this secret passage, it was likely to be a secret passage built in the Han Dynasty. Mca! โ€

"In!"

"Did you say that the official guessed correctly?"

What did Ma Huaxin say right? How do you know that Yang Wulian doesn't know where that secret is? However, he would never give Cui Geng face in front of Wu Sansi, and said with a clear conscience: "It makes sense!" โ€

"Well, then you say, since it is a secret passage of the Han Dynasty, where should its entrance be?"

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. โ€

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "Fengxian Hall was originally His Majesty's bedroom, and Yang Wulian specially set up a secret passage here. People have the same heart and the same reason, did the Han Dynasty also set up a secret passage in the queen's bedroom? โ€

"This ...... Perhaps. โ€

"Then can you find out where the queen of the Han Dynasty is located?"

Ma Hua said proudly: "The queen's bedroom was called "Jiaofang Palace" in the Han Dynasty. According to the records of the classics, the type of the palace, find out the "Jiaofang Palace", when there is no problem. โ€

"Okay, Feng Changqing listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

"You will lead the soldiers and horses, and according to the instructions of the horse army, go to dig the Jiaofang Palace!"

"Whoa!"

Feng Changqing has infinite confidence in Cui Geng, and immediately executed it to the letter.

Afterwards, Cui Geng greeted Chen Xuanli again and said, "General Chen, there are many people who are easy to work, you can also take people there." โ€

"I ......"

Chen Xuanli said in his heart, aren't you Cui Erlang forced by Liang Wangwu Sansi to be anxious and talk nonsense? Look at what you just said, it is simply full of flaws, and people don't know how to refute it.

You're going to die tomorrow anyway, and I still want to live, but I can't go crazy with you.

If it doesn't work, I'll give you an ugly look now, maybe King Liang will see me pleasing to the eye, so he will help me say a few good words in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanli shook his head and said, "Captain Bendu thinks that Cui Jingzhao's guess is too far-fetched, so he won't get involved in this matter." I'm going to have my soldiers search other places. Cui Jingzhao, I'm sorry! โ€

"Haha!" Wu Sansi smiled: "Cui Erlang, did you hear clearly?" Chen Duwei is not optimistic about you. What do you say now? โ€

Cui Geng said contemptuously: "It's strange to be a lower official, where did you get so much confidence King Liang?" When it comes to investigating cases, how old are you? Chen Duwei, how old is it? โ€

If someone else said this, they would definitely be called arrogant. But now, Xu Wuzhan died of illness, Di Renjie committed suicide, and Zhang was killed, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cui Geng is the first person in the world to investigate the case. In other words, Cui Geng Cui Erlang really has the capital to be arrogant!

Wu Sansi said coldly: "Okay, your Cui Erlang's ability to investigate cases is the first in the world, then the king wants to see how you dig three feet into the ground today and find out the princess of Jincheng." โ€

Cui Geng said firmly: "This official will not disappoint King Liang Chitose." โ€

It is really not difficult to find the location of Jiaofang Palace, and it didn't take half an hour for MCA to get it.

The so-called pepper house hall is to coat the walls with pepper and mud to make it warm, fragrant, and symbolize many seeds. The idiom "pepper room is the only pet" is derived from this code. Although the Jiaofang Hall has been damaged now, its soil quality is special, and it is different from other places, so the general range was quickly determined.

Then, Feng Changqing gave an order and soon began to excavate.

They made such a big move, of course, it attracted the attention of Wu Zetian and even the courtiers.

In addition, Wu Sansi deliberately made Cui Geng ugly, and as soon as he agitated with oil and vinegar, Wu Zetian immediately decided to come to the scene with his ministers.

"Alas, Cui Jingzhao is in a hurry to go to the doctor."

"There is a way that generals will not raise troops out of anger, how can they be teased by King Liang for a few words, and what kind of pepper house palace will be dug up? Cui Jingzhao is really famous, but it's actually difficult to deputy! โ€

"That Chen Yuanli Chen Duwei, he didn't blindly follow Cui Jingzhao, he really has the style of a general!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The words of the ministers sounded in Wu Zetian's ears, which really made Her Majesty the Empress tired for a while.

The reason is very simple, what Cui Geng said, the crooked reasoning in the ears of others, but in her mind, it is right!

She really believes in her destiny and has the mysterious ability to follow the law, otherwise, she would not have changed Sun Wanrong to "Sun Wanqi", Li Jinzhong to "Li Duan", Gu Dulu to "Bu Lu Lu", and Mo Du to "Chop". Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed the name of Da Zhou in a year or two.

Her Majesty the Empress certainly understood that the courtiers did not approve of her actions, but no one dared to expose them to her face.

She really hopes that what Cui Geng said is true, and her casual words imply that she can find the location of Princess Jincheng.

In that way, facts speak louder than words, and even in the history books of later generations, you have to praise yourself, "the destiny of heaven returns".

As for how Cui Geng guessed that the secret passage was in the Jiaofang Palace, Her Majesty the Empress didn't care.

"Cui Geng, since you boasted about Haikou, don't let me down!" Wu Zetian said silently.

However, thousands of people toiled to dig the ground, and after an hour, they still found nothing.

Wu Zetian was a little impatient, and said, "Cui Aiqing, are you sure, the secret passage is in the Jiaofang Palace." โ€

"Wechen is sure."

"Then why haven't you seen the secret passage until now?"

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "The secret passage in the Jiaofang Palace is for the escape of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, how deep it is to dig, Weichen doesn't know, please wait a little longer?" โ€

Wu Sansi said disappreciatively: "How long is a period of time?" An hour? One day? Or three or five days? It's not very clever for you to expect this to be a rhetoric and stall for time. acquaintances, or admit that they were talking nonsense just now......"

"Find ...... I've found a secret passage! At this moment, an excited shout suddenly came from afar, interrupting Wu Sansi's words.

"Huh? Is there really one? The courtiers looked at each other dumbfounded!
