In fact, this matter is not something that Li Dan and his son took the initiative to provoke. Instead, after the incident happened, Li Dan and his son just pushed the boat.

The crux of the problem lies in Cao Yuechan's younger brother Cao Hao.

At the beginning, Cao Hao pursued Yu Linglong, the first prostitute in Chang'an, but Yu Linglong's heart was tied to the body of Li Chongjun, the king of Wei.

Even if Cui Geng took 100,000 yuan to redeem Cao Hao for her, Yu Linglong still looked down on Cao Hao.

After the failure of Li Chongjun's coup, Yu Linglong, as a fellow party, was arrested by the government.

Cao Hao's old love was unforgettable, and he begged Cui Geng's face again and let Yu Linglong go. Yu Linglong had nowhere to go, so she became Cao Hao's concubine. Cao Hao even announced that he would not marry a wife for the rest of his life for her.

It is said that this matter is over, and it is a beautiful talk.

But what is good is that Yu Linglong really doesn't look down on Cao Hao, and a few days ago, she hooked up with a lifter who went to Chang'an to catch the exam.

Cao Hao caught the two of them in bed, and in a fit of rage, killed the lifter.

If this was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it would not be a matter of this, and the husband was not guilty of killing the adulterer in bed.

However, during the Tang Dynasty, the sentence of exile was limited to the lesser than murder.

The Cao family has a big business, and it runs Jufenglong, which is equivalent to the National Bank. Li Dan handed over the case to the right imperial Shi Dafu Su to deal with.

Judge the case impartially, it is said that Cui Geng can't say anything.

But someone privately passed the word to the Cao family, Su Zai is a square person, and when he encounters such a big case, he has to follow the emperor's wishes.

His Majesty the Emperor means that poor Cao Hao is a lone seedling of the Cao family, and the Cao family is deeply related to the King of Ji, so he can show mercy outside the law, and directly issued an order to pardon all Cao Hao's crimes.

Of course, this favor is not completely in vain, Cao Yuechan has to dedicate half of Jufenglong's shares to the crown prince Li Longji, and half to Li Dan.

As soon as Cao Hao died, the Cao family would be considered the last one. Cao Yuechan is open to her own share, but don't forget, half of it is actually owned by Cui Geng, and Cao Yuechan is just holding it. How could she take Cui Geng's share and exonerate her younger brother?

If you don't say yes, you can't.

The messenger said that he wanted all the shares, and not a penny less. If the Cao family doesn't obey ...... Although Cao Hao's crime did not lead to death, it is not a new thing that a prisoner died of a violent illness in Yushitai.

Give the Cao family a month to think about it, and after a month, the Cao family will bear the consequences.

In desperation, Cao Yuechan wrote a letter to Cui Geng, asking him to quickly find a way.

Therefore, Cui Gengcai said what he just said.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "What the Li father and son did is indeed not authentic, I don't know how you are going to deal with Erlang?" ”

"How long is it until January?"

"You have been in Yaozhou for a long time, and there is no news, and now it is only nine days."

"Nine days?" Cui Geng said: "Li Dan and his son are clearly trying to blackmail money, and any tricks are useless. So far, I only have to go to Chang'an. ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "It's not that easy. First, you are now a pacification envoy of Jiannan Province, and you will return to Beijing without an order, and you will be regarded as an accomplice. Even if you don't care about the charges of rebellion, what if the officials along the way refuse to let them go? Second, after you leave, will the overall situation of Jiannan Dao be stable by relying on a Rongzhou Thorn Shi Niu Cyclamen? What should I do if Quan Huai'en takes power and completely destroys the good situation of Jiannan Province? ”

"This ......"

Cui Geng was deeply embarrassed, his brows furrowed,

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Shangguan Wan'er's face was not in any hurry, with a smile on her face, her chin was lightly raised, and she looked at herself for a long time.

The meaning is clear: beg me! Ask me, and I'll tell you.

He hurriedly laughed and said, "Alas, I'm so stupid! Wan'er is known as the first talented woman in the world, and she must have become a bamboo in her chest. Don't sell it, or tell ...... quickly For the husband. ”

"Cut, what is the husband, shameless!" Shangguan Wan'er's face flushed, and she changed the topic and said: "It's easy to crack the power of Quan Huai'en, you leave the military talisman seal letter of Jiannan Dao, and let me deal with the military and political affairs of Jiannan Dao." ”

No matter how trusted by Cui Geng, Niu Cyclamen lacks prestige and is difficult to convince the public.

But Shangguan Wan'er is different, she has been Wu Zetian's intimate little secretary for many years, and there are many things to approve and play on behalf of her, and many people have long regarded her as the prime minister.

It is even rumored that when Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Zheng Shi, was pregnant with a child, she dreamed that a giant appeared in front of her, holding a big pole in her hand and saying, "Your daughter should weigh the world with this."

The qualifications of the above officials are as long as they are in the right name. Dealing with the officials of Jiannan Province, who dares to disagree?

Cui Gengdao: "Okay, I will immediately issue an official document and appoint you as the deputy governor of Yizhou and the patrol envoy of Jiannan Province, and act on my behalf." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Although there was no appointment of the deputy governor of Yizhou before, if you think about it carefully, it is not completely nonsense. But what's the matter with this Jiannan Road patrol envoy? Who ordered me to make the rounds? ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's on my behalf as the king of Ji." Why not? Plainly...... Who belongs to this world, that's really not certain. I don't believe it, which official in Jiannan Province dares to blow up the stab? ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Cui Geng, and at that moment she was full of charm, and said: "In this case, I am the uncrowned king of Shudi." Jiro, do you really trust me so much? ”

In fact, it is not deliberate that the beauty is so seductive ~ confused. It's that she has a strong desire for power~ and instinct.

Cui Geng was stunned by her electric power for a while, grabbed the beauty's soft and said, "With the relationship between the two of us, what is there to distrust?" ”

"Uh...... That ......" Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face turned crimson, withdrew her jade hand, and said, "Erlang Mo is like this...... Let's get down to business, and this second question. ”

"Second question?"

Cui Geng understood that what Shangguan Wan'er was referring to was the refusal to let go at the passes along the way.

He didn't have anything to do about it, and said, "Do you think I'm going to be able to disguise myself?" ”

"Of course not. Since Li Longji has done such a lack of morality, how can he not prepare for the passes along the way? There are so many passes, can you fool one or two, can you fool them all? Even...... has Li Longji's hardcore, so what should I do if I just plan and poison you? ”

"What about Yi Wan'er's opinion?"

"In my opinion, you just don't do anything, and go directly with the 1,000 barbarians under your command, as well as the countries of Tubo and Nanzhao! These people are all relatives of Fanbang. Whoever dares not to open the gate will be ordered to attack the city. I don't believe it, which official dares to shoulder this responsibility? ”

The leg of the Tubo State Minister is gone, and he has to take care of his injuries, and the Minister of the Southern Zhao State has to wait for the handover of the Yue Xi Zhao people, and now they are all in Cui Geng's camp.

"Wonderful!" Cui Gengdao: "Even if Li Longji doesn't care about his friendship with Fanbang, those officials are still afraid that he will be used as a scapegoat in the future, so they will definitely not dare to stop him." That's right! ”

Cui Geng slapped his thigh violently and said, "Wan'er said this, but it reminds me of a person......
