Chapter 647: Finally Returning to Luoyang
Speaking of this Guo Balai, he is very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not a good reputation, though, but a lot of notoriety.
Guo Ba is also a child of the family, and he was recommended to become an official and was awarded Ning Lingcheng for the first time. He felt that this official was too small, so he wanted to go up and carry out activities.
Coincidentally, at that time, Xu Jingye raised troops in Yangzhou and rebelled against the sky. So, Guo Ba had an idea, and put on a concert, expressing his infinite indignation against Xu Jingye, the most famous sentence is: After catching Xu Jingye, he wanted: "Draw his tendons, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and cut off his marrow"!
Although Wu Zetian knew that Guo Ba's grandson did not learn and did not know how to do it, his spirit was commendable, so he promoted him to "the history of the palace servant".
People were unhappy that Guo Ba was promoted so easily, so they gave him a nickname, called "Siqi" Yushi.
Since Guo Ba got this lottery, he thinks that slapping horses is the only way to be promoted.
On this day, his immediate boss, Wei Yuanzhong, the middle of the imperial history, fell ill, and his colleagues went to visit him. Other imperial histories are all given gifts, and then they greet Wei Yuanzhong and leave.
But this Guo Dayu Shi is different. Before he left, he caught up with Wei Yuanzhong and wanted to go to the toilet. As a result, not only did he serve Wei Yuanzhong, but after he was done, he also dipped a little of Lord Wei's feces with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it, and he was silly while tasting it.
Wei Yuanzhong had never seen this, and said nervously: "What do you want to do?" ”
Guo Ba said: "The doctor's feces taste sweet, or not." The taste is bitter now, and it will get better immediately. This sentence is changed into popular language, that is, the doctor said that the dung of those who are sick is sweet. Taste it for a while, your dung is bitter, and it should be healed soon.
This flattery is the pinnacle. It's a pity that the boss he met this time, unlike Her Majesty the Empress, despised this practice very much, not only despised, but also publicized it everywhere. Guo Ba's name of tasting dung imperial history began to circulate in officialdom.
Cui Geng's strange thing is that according to historical records, this guy should have been dead for more than a year, why is he still alive now?
However, when he thought about it, it was not impossible. According to rumors, when Guo Ba died, he dreamed of an unjust soul asking for his life. Frightened, he died by gouging out his abdomen, and people found that his stomach was full of worms.
According to the scientific concept, Guo Ba should have died of parasitic infection. And the source of this parasite is probably the experience of tasting feces. Due to his butterfly effect, Guo Ba tasted dung one day earlier and one day later, and the result may be very different.
……
……
Guo Ba didn't care about the titles of "Taste the Dung Imperial History" and "Four Its Imperial History", and said: "Yes, it is the lower official." Qi Cui dethroned, the thief has been punished or captured, and it is safe outside, so come out quickly. ”
"That's ......" Cui Geng said, "How did you know that this official is here?" And...... I haven't heard of the news that you are the assassin of Bazhou? ”
Guo Ba explained: "Xia Guan has also just taken office. Yuan Shuji Yuan Xiangye, has always looked at the lower officials unpleasantly, he has just been promoted to prime minister, and he kicked the lower officials to Bazhou. After Xiaguan came, I heard that Cui Dizhi was staying in Xiafeng County, not to mention how happy you were, so I hurried to Xiafeng County...... How can it be so coincidental, it is also the sky has eyes, and it is good that the lower officials met the villagers who came to report the case. ”
Cui Geng pondered carefully, Guo Ba took office as a new official, and he didn't have any pigtails to catch him. The opportunity is rare, and it is really understandable to rush to pat yourself on the back.
He thought for a moment and said, "Across the stone gate, the official doesn't know if you are Guo Ba." In this way, you go to Xiafeng County and go to Song Genhai. When he arrived, the official opened the stone door again and came out. ”
"Yes!"
Guo Ba responded and executed it to the letter.
Only then did Cui Geng discuss with Zhang Jiazhen how to deal with the treasure.
Zhang Jiazhen waved her hand again and again, and said: "It is about the dispute between Your Majesty and King Yong (Li Xian), and I don't dare to make peace in the future." Cui Dizhi didn't want to mix with the property in it. The only thing I want to ask you for is that more is better than less, and don't tell the court. Otherwise, according to Your Majesty's temper, the blessings and misfortunes will be unpredictable! ”
Cui Geng nodded and said, "This official understands." ”
Since Zhang Jiazhen is not mixed, Cui Geng will be easy to do. Let the playwright open and cover these boxes, just waiting for Song Genhai's arrival.
After waiting for a day and a night, Song Genhai finally arrived with a large team, and Cui Geng opened the stone gate and came out.
Guo Ba is a person with eyes, and he didn't ask what was inside the stone gate at all, but handed over all the captives to Cui Geng, and emphatically stated that he had not interrogated the captives and didn't know anything.
Cui Geng praised Guo Ba a few words and ordered him to take people back to Bazhou City, and then began to interrogate Song Youbin and others, and Zhou Lizhen was naturally among them.
With Zhou Xing, an expert in torture, Zhou Lizhen poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained his plan.
Cui Geng was overjoyed and secretly pondered: Wu Sansi sent someone to assassinate him, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here, indicating that he was the mastermind of the assassination case?
Report this matter to the public, and you will be able to get rid of a great enemy.
However, is it really that simple? Is it really so easy for Wu Sansi to be brought down? In a trance, Cui Geng actually had a feeling of unreality.
Sure enough, his recital and even the witness Zhou Lizhen were pressed down, and he didn't even make any waves.
Li Xian even personally sent Wei Shifang to Xiafeng County to warn him not to act rashly.
Cui Gengqi said: "Why? Could it be that with the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he still can't see through Wu Sansi's wolf ambition? If Wu Sansi really doesn't want to be an emperor, why should he make wind and rain? ”
Wei Shifang waved his hand, sighed lightly, and said, "Alas, it's useless to see it. At this time and then, now the prince has joined forces with Wu Sansi to fight against Erzhang. ”
"Why?"
Wei Shifang swallowed and foamed, and said with a straight face: "Shao Wang Li Chongrun is dead. ”
Li Chongrun is not an ordinary prince, he is the eldest son of Li Zhi, and he was named the emperor's grandson by Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong. It can be said that the legitimacy of his succession to the throne is even higher than that of Li Dan, the prime minister!
When Cui Geng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he said, "What...... How did he die? Wasn't he fine before I came back? ”
Wei Shifang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Knowing how to die, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so afraid of Erzhang." But the problem is, he doesn't know! Just seven days ago, His Majesty summoned King Shao to the palace, and in the afternoon of the same day, he ordered the little eunuch to carry back King Shao's body, saying that he died of a violent illness. You say, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find out the cause of King Shao's death? Does he dare to find out the cause of King Shao's death? ”
Cui Gengdao: "The death of the prince must be related to Erzhang. Therefore, he decided to unite with Wu Sansi to fight against Erzhang? ”
"Exactly. Therefore, your share of the music was suppressed by Zhang Xiang, and Zhou Lizhen was also released, as if no such thing happened in Lingnan Road. Wei Shifang said earnestly: "Erlang, you have to focus on the overall situation, don't make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince embarrassed." ”
Cui Geng has no complaints about Li Xian's arrangement.
After all, Erzhang killed Shao King Li Chongrun so unruly, it has reached the level of flipping the table. It is not only the crown prince who threatens him, but also himself. Now, the close alliance of the Wu and Li families is also a good thing for themselves.
He nodded and said, "Okay, this time, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, this official can not blame King Liang for the past." However, if King Liang takes the initiative to provoke my surname Cui again, then I can't say it, I want to settle the new accounts and the old accounts together. ”
Wei Shi Fang said: "That's nature. ”
……
……
Cui Geng stayed in Xiafeng County for a few more days, and when the Freemasons arrived, they opened the stone gate and transported all the belongings in the cave. Then, with the team, he went straight to Luoyang.
Seeing the Luoyang City Gate in sight, he couldn't help but feel surging for a while, secretly thinking, Luoyang, Luoyang, I, Cui Geng, have finally come back in a bright light! My son must be more than two years old now, but father and son have never met. What Wu Sansi, Zhang brothers, I don't care for the time being, this time back, I want to enjoy the joy of family!
However, the heavens do not obey people's wishes, he does not want to cause trouble, but things come to provoke him.
Flute ~~
With the ringing of the bell of the horse coat, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, and the leader of the group clasped his fists and bowed his hands, and said in a loud voice: "Cui Dizhi, Yuan Shuji Yuan Xiangye is invited, you can go with me." ”“
