The best of both worlds? You're paralyzed!

Cui Geng heard Wu Sansi's words, so he didn't scold out loud.

The reason is very simple, this kind of military affairs cannot be solved by shaking a wit. Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, can't solve it, and Di Renjie, the famous minister through the ages, can't solve it, so why can he solve it himself? Are you kidding?

There is no need to ask, the reason why Wu Zetian called himself was just to listen to his own opinion, not to seek the best of both worlds.

He sneered: "King Liang Chitose, if you want to ask about the best of both worlds, you shouldn't ask me!" ”

"Who do you ask?"

"Of course it's you, Liang Wangwu, think twice! Today, you instigated all the tributes to break through the door and knock on the drum, if you succeed, first, to make the lower officials die without a place to be buried, and second, to make Zhang Changshi's reputation discredited, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"What?" Wu Sansi's face immediately changed drastically. He originally thought that he had come early, and the tributes had not had time to make trouble, but he didn't expect that Cui Geng had already known everything.

Wu Chongxun was afraid that his father would make a fool of himself, so he hurriedly reminded: "Du Xian provoked the tributes to make trouble because he had a conflict with Cui Kaogong. However, Cui Kaogong was selfless and really took him on. In order to get away with it, he will accuse you of everything, saying that you have instructed everything. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Wu Zetian heard it, he knew that Wu Chongxun was talking nonsense, a little tribute dared to slander King Liang? Isn't that looking for death?

She said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on, Cui Ying, you speak!" ”

"Yes!"

Cui Geng bowed slightly, introduced the incident one by one, and claimed that he could confront Du Xian.

After a little consideration, Wu Zetian understood that what Cui Geng said was true. But what about this? Just a Cui Ying bully is a bully, but she can't help but give Zhang Changzong's face.

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "There is no need to confront each other, I have my own decision." The national elector, the first virtue. Du Xian was talented but not virtuous, framed King Liang, ordered his fame to be deposed, and was not allowed to take the imperial examination for the rest of his life. Other than that...... Wu Sansi! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"Just now, I asked you to ask Cui Kaogong for advice, but I didn't say what the best of both worlds is. What is your sin for perverting the Divine Will? ”

Wu Sansi didn't dare to stiffen his mouth, and said: "Weichen is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Ordered to go to Songshan and supervise the construction of Sanyang Palace. Sanyang Palace is not successful, and you are not allowed to return to the court. ”

"Yes!"

Although Wu Sansi was ordered to think about it behind closed doors for three months, Wan didn't have a reason to kick him out on the spot, and he was still discussing things.

As soon as Wu Sansi glanced at Wu Chongxun, Wu Chongxun asked: "Cui Ying, now that Your Majesty's will is clear, I want to ask you what you think about the case of Gongren." If you can inspire Your Majesty, you can still say some clichés, but you can't live up to Your Majesty's trust in you. ”

Wu Chongxun's words, in the final analysis, still dug a pit for Cui Geng. Choose one of the two, if you don't answer well now, you just can't live up to Your Majesty's trust. If you answer now, but it turns out that you answered wrong, you still can't trust Your Majesty. What if you get it right? Jokes, unless the Great Zhou won a complete victory, and the enemy was injured by a thousand and the self-damage was less than a hundred, how could you find a black spot. At that time, if Zhang Changzong is not involved, Wu Sansi will not pinch you as much as he wants?

Of course, Cui Geng understands the danger of this matter, but - he doesn't care!

Don't forget, the purpose of his answer was to persuade Li Xian Mo to be impulsive, but he didn't plan to pretend to be Cui Ying for the rest of his life. Well answered, of course it is very good, take the opportunity to be valued by Zhang Changzong and listen to some news. But what about a bad answer? It's nothing more than resigning from the official position, and it is not bad to completely whitewash this identity.

Therefore, Cui Geng made a generous statement without any scruples, and said: "Weichen thinks that he should not only take in the meritorious benevolence, but also welcome it with great fanfare!" ”

"Oh? What do you say? ”

"Weichen, please accept the benefits of Gongren for Your Majesty's words: First, although Gongren is a last resort to vote for my Da Zhou. However, it is precisely because of this retreat that Qinling can hold his fists and blood, so he dares to raise troops to rebel. If I return Gongren to Tubo in the Great Zhou, who will dare to raise an army to rebel in the future? ”

After a pause, he said: "Second, my Great Zhou is the ...... of the Heavenly Dynasty."

"That's it! Come on! Wu Chongxun impatiently planned: "It's all some clichés, my father has already said it just now, can't you say something new?" ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Fresh? Of course there are. For example, Gong Ren is a student of Jiannan Province to visit Cui Geng. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"Of course. I heard that Cui Geng once predicted the defeat of the Khitan and the death of Li Jinzhong (Li Jinzhong), I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"Uh...... That's true. ”

"I also heard that Cui Geng once accepted Gongren as a disciple, and told him that the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and I am afraid that there will be unbearable things in Tubo. If Gongren is cornered, he can come to Da Zhou. ”

Cui Geng and Gong Ren got along alone, and what they said, of course, they had to report to the imperial court, and there were many people who knew about it.

Wu Chongxun said: "There is also this matter, but this kind of military affairs, you can't say what Cui Geng says, right?" ”

"That's nature. But I guess, since Cui Geng predicted the Tubo Rebellion a few years ago, he is much more ambitious than you, right? Since he proposed that Gongren was desperate and could come to Da Zhou, shouldn't His Majesty consider it carefully? ”

"I ......"

Immediately, Wu Chongxun was speechless.

In fact, he understands that in addition to this reason, Cui Ying has another reason not to say it - since Cui Geng can predict the victory or defeat of the Great Zhou and the Khitan, can't he predict the victory or defeat of the Great Zhou and Tubo?

Since Cui Geng wants to talk about Gongren's return, he must have confidence in the battle between Da Zhou and Tubo.

Wu Chongxun could understand this truth, and of course the other people present could understand this truth even more, and they instantly thought about Cui Geng's side.

Especially Zhang Changzong, he has a lot of supporters, but talents? To be honest, there is no one except Ji Ji, who has been dismissed.

Hearing Cui Ying's new way and reasonable words, he immediately listed him as the number one training target.

Zhang Changzong said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Cui Kaogong said is very reasonable. My Great Zhou court not only wants to take in Gongren, but also takes it in with great fanfare. Let that little Zampu of Tubo see what the majesty of the Heavenly Empire cannot be degraded. If he refuses, let him bring his troops to fight. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Changzong's last sentence can be regarded as completely moving Wu Zetian. You must know that since Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, foreign wars have always won fewer victories and more defeats. To quell the Khitan rebellion, it even depended on the Turks to send troops.

Seeing that his time was short, the question of his posthumous name has been bothering Her Majesty. If she can defeat Tubo once, of course she will be happy to see it, and nodded and said: "According to what Cui Aiqing said, send ......"

She glanced around and said, "Move Zhang Changzong to be the general of Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, and welcome Gongren on behalf of the suburbs." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

The plan of the monarch and the ministers has been decided, and the ministers will go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

Zhang Changzong couldn't be idle, and hurriedly prepared for the outskirts. In order to cultivate Cui Geng, he even arranged for Cui Geng to be the deputy envoy of the suburbs.

The next morning, he politely welcomed Gongren into Luoyang City. It was not until this time that people knew that the nobles in the original team did not see Gongren, and his own uncle was not on Zanpo.

At noon on the same day, Wu Zetian personally met with the two people, and gave them a banquet in the Wuwei Palace, as well as gave them Danshu iron coupons, which could be worth three capital crimes in addition to rebellion.

In the end, he appointed Ronzanpo as the general of the auxiliary state and the acting general of the right guard, and returned to the king of Dejun; On Gongren is the general of Zuo Yulin, the Duke of Anguo, and has 2,000 households. As for the deployment of their belts, they are still under the command of these two people and are placed in Xingyuan Valley in Liangzhou.

The Tibetan envoys who came immediately after the Gongren were treated very ordinarily. He was arranged in the guest house, accompanied by officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he begged to see Wu Zetian several times but was denied.

After the news of Gongren's canonization came out, the envoy knew that he had messed up the errand, and he didn't visit Wu Zetian anymore, so he was angry and turned back to Tibet directly.

Then, the Great Zhou court began to wait worriedly, in the end, will Du Song Mangbu start an army to attack Zhou because of the matter of meritorious benevolence? If the army is really raised, will the result of the battle be as Cui Geng expected, will the Great Zhou win a complete victory?
