Empress Wei was furious and said, "How can it be the same? The poems you make are man-made, but the folk songs represent the will of God. โ
"Providence?" Cui Geng chuckled lightly and said disdainfully: "The crown princess has never seen the author of the dozen or so "Mulberry Songs", do you know if it is not artificial?" When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised troops, they also knew that people would wear fox skins and say "King Chen Sheng of Da Chuxing". There are many learned people around Zhang Changzong, what is it to make up a few ballads? โ
Wu Sansi said: "No, Zhang Changzong wants to build momentum, why not create his own momentum, but create the momentum of the crown princess?" Isn't this to increase the morale of the enemy and destroy one's own prestige? โ
Cui Geng stretched out two fingers and said, "Two reasons, one is that he knows that no one believes in building momentum for himself, and his efforts are in vain." Second, he knew that if he built momentum for the crown princess, the princess would believe it, so he would go against the grain. โ
The implication is that Empress Wei is not enough to succeed, and it is easier to deceive.
Cui Geng's words can be described as quite unkind.
By now, he has figured out that even if he and Li Bao'er get married, he can't follow Empress Wei too much, after all, this old lady is too capable of tossing. Seeking peace through struggle is the right way to deal with the situation after peace.
When Empress Wei heard this, he was angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and said angrily: "Okay, you Cui Erlang, you dare to be so disrespectful to this palace!" You say that those "Mulberry Songs" are fake, what evidence do you have? โ
Cui Gengdao: "There are so many "Mulberry Songs" in Chang'an City, which of course attracted the attention of Weichen. I sent my subordinates to find out, but in fact, these ballads were spread by Zhang Changzong's subordinates. โ
Of course, this is nonsense, but his next sentence made Empress Wei have to believe it.
I only heard Cui Geng continue: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the words and sentences of these ballads, and even the style, are exactly the same. There are not many people in the world today who are capable of composing songs of this level. Referring to the style of this ballad, the author is almost ready to come out......"
"Who the hell is it?"
"It is Zhang Changzong's henchman, and now he is serving Shi Zheng in the palace."
has a name and a surname, as long as you bring Zheng's old works and find a learned person to see it.
Although Empress Wei understood that she had been deceived, it was impossible for her to thank Cui Geng. On the contrary, she looked at Cui Geng more and more unpleasantly.
Of course, since the "Mandate of Heaven" is fake, and Cui Geng is still needed, Empress Wei can't deny Cui Geng's son-in-law.
She thought for a moment and said warmly: "Erlang Mo is angry with this palace because of today's events. I was pregnant in October, and I worked hard to raise Bao'er, how can I not hope that she will find a wishful husband? But you, you can't even give her a name, can I stand it in my heart as a mother? โ
Cui Geng knew that he was at a loss, and said: "The princess taught me a lesson. โ
Empress Wei continued: "So, if you want to marry Bao'er so easily, it is absolutely impossible. The two million yuan that Changning mentioned just now, you have to take it out as a dowry. โ
"No problem." Cui Geng's answer was categorical.
Let's not say that this amount of money is nothing to him, the key is that the marriage of the two has to be after the Shenlong coup. With Li Bao'er's status in front of Li Xian, how much dowry does she have to bring? The dowry of two million yuan is definitely a big profit!
Empress Wei didn't expect Cui Geng's little Jiujiu, and continued: "Also, what Changning just said to you is true. Gao Qiao's house, you have to find a way to help Changning get it. โ
Cui Geng stumbled slightly, and then said angrily: "Okay, just follow what the princess said!" But...... After these two conditions are fulfilled, do you agree to marry Bao'er to Weichen? โ
Empress Wei reluctantly said: "The prince and Bao'er have agreed, why should this palace be a villain in vain?" โ
"Thank you, Crown Princess!

At the beginning, Li Xin'er gave Cui Geng's idea to use Jing Zhaoyin's power to seize Gao Qiao's house. Cui Geng is a person of character, of course, thank you for not being sensitive.
However, this does not mean that he has nothing to do with Gao Qiao's house. It must be said...... Buy at a high price. Double does not achieve ten times, ten times does not achieve a hundred times, money can make ghosts grind, as long as the money is enough to a certain extent, do not worry about Gao Qiao is not moved.
At the beginning, Changning Guan Cui Geng asked for two million yuan, which was the money needed to tear down and rebuild, and luxuriously decorate.
The land in Chang'an City is worthless, and Gao Qiao's house is in disrepair, Cui Geng guesses that its market price will definitely not exceed 20,000 yuan. He secretly calculated that if he was willing to smash people with two million yuan, Gao Qiao would definitely be taken down.
However, when he came to Gao Qiao's house and put forward all these conditions, people shook their heads again and again.
Gao Qiao is an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, strong spirits, and a bookish face.
He said quite freely: "I don't plan to sell this house for money at all." Cui Xiang, let's open the skylight and say something bright, you didn't buy this house for yourself, right? โ
"Exactly. To tell the truth, this official was entrusted by the county lord of Changning and Yang Shenjiao, the prince of Guanguo. โ
"I guess that's the case. Guan Guogong discussed this matter with the lower officials, but I refused. Of course, it doesn't mean that I just hold on to this house and won't let go. If Cui Xiang can help me do one thing, I will give this house to you. โ
An ominous premonition surged into Cui Geng's heart, and said, "I don't want two million yuan, but I want the official to do one thing." It seems that this is more difficult than making two million dollars. Declare in advance that I will not do anything that violates the law. โ
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the criminal case."
"What the hell is that?"
Gao Qiao Zhengse said: "I want to reinstate the knight." โ
"Revenge?" Cui Geng was puzzled: "You didn't inherit the title of Duke Xu Guo?" You're ...... What the hell is going on? โ
"I didn't do anything, my ancestors were wronged." Gao Qiao said: "My grandfather is Gao Shilian, the Duke of Xu Guogong of the Tang Dynasty. He had six sons, and my father, Gao Zhenxing, was the fourth. Originally, it was my eldest uncle who inherited the title of Duke of Xu Guo, but later, he was involved in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the title was inherited by my father. โ
"Then why did Ling Zun lose the title of Duke of Xu Guo?"
"More than 20 years ago, Zhang Huai's prince Li Xian conspired against the case, and my eldest brother Gao Qi was involved in Li Xian's case. My father was also a little timid, killed his eldest brother with his own hands, and abandoned his body on the road. After Emperor Gaozong, he despised his father's personality and simply abolished the title of Duke Xu. โ
Cui Gengdao: "The death of Li Xian, the prince of Zhang Huai, was ostensibly because of the rebellion, but in fact, it was because His Majesty suspected that he sent someone to kill Ming Chongyan. Now that it has been ascertained that Ming Chongyan was indeed killed by thieves, His Majesty has no resentment towards Prince Zhang Huai. Since this is the case, then Brother Gaoqi is wronged. So, do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to reinstate? โ
"Exactly!" Gao Qiao fell to his knees with a pout, and said, "The lower officials have asked for reinstatement several times, but Your Majesty has not sent them all." I also asked Cui Xiang to be merciful and help the officials say a few good words. After the deed is completed, I will give this house to Cui Xiang as a reward. โ
Cui Geng thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Now it is the two sheets that approve the chapters, not Your Majesty." And this official has always been at odds with Erzhang. Are you sure...... Do you want the official to speak for you? โ
