"According to the laws of my Great Zhou, the Writings Bureau, Lang is one person, and the rank is five products; The two of them are written by Saro, from the six grades; There are two school scholars, who are on the ninth grade; Two straight characters, is nine) see the most complete! The fastest updated book Lang wrote inscriptions, blessings, memorial texts, national histories, etc., and divided the bureau ...... with Saro",

As Wu Chenghe's subdued voice sounded, Cui Geng already understood that the Book Bureau was a Qingshui yamen, and he didn't have much to do with the living, but a lot with the dead, and his impact on the government was almost none. As the first brother of the Writing Bureau, of course, he has no real power.

Wu Chengsi seemed to see what Cui Geng was thinking, and said, "Erlang, don't misunderstand Your Majesty's cultivation heart." This location is a great ladder to the sky for you. ”

Well?

As soon as these words came out, not only Cui Geng was stunned, but Wu Yizong, Wu Yanxiu, Tian Guidao, and Lai Junchen were all full of suspicion.

Wu Chengsi glanced around and said, "What?" Don't you believe me? Then let me ask you, today, apart from our surname Wu, who else is the fastest to be promoted? ”

Tian Guidao was a good envoy and said: "King Wei is referring to a person who was born in Jinshi? ”

"The people of the field are really smart." Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "Your Majesty's most important art of carving insects (literary talent), Jinshi, especially Wen Jinshi, is most valued by her old man." ”

Cui Geng swallowed and foamed, and hesitated: "Then Your Majesty's meaning is not to let me study more in the Writings Bureau and prepare for the Jinshi examination." ”

"Of course it's not for you to get into the Jinshi." Wu Chengsi continued to explain: "Because Jinshi mostly went to Suzhengtai, the secretary of the province to serve. Therefore, the officials of the secretary province and the government platform are called the officials of the Qing nobles. The fastest promotion is now the case. The Bureau of Writings is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Secretaries. ”

Tian Guidao's eyes lit up, and he said, "So, what does Your Majesty mean is to let Master Cui gild the book bureau for a few years and prepare for great use?" ”

"Good boy!" Song Genhai, who had been fanning the flames in the crowd, finally couldn't hold it back, shouted, and said, "Now Master Cui is the fifth official." That's it, Your Majesty still thinks he is slow to be promoted? In a few years, won't Lord Cui have to be an official residence? ”

Wu Chengsi said: "Sanpin official? Your vision is too short-sighted, maybe, Your Majesty is cultivating Erlang as a prince. ”

In fact, Wu Chengsi really thought too much this time, and Wu Zetian just didn't want Cui Geng to be in power, so he chose such a position.

However, he was really able to justify himself, and the people immediately believed it, thinking that he had just saved a future prime minister, and there was a burst of joy and thunder.

It's just that Lai Junchen is not very confident in his previous guess, snorted, and left with the armorers.

Wu Yizong even ran forward to burn the cold stove and said, "Cui ...... Erlang, this sentence to death is all the idea of Lai Junchen, and this king is really forced to be helpless. ”

seemed to feel that it was a bit unreasonable to shirk responsibility in this way, and he said again: "I won't say anything superfluous, Erlang, you were sentenced to death this time, one of the culprits is Lai Junchen, the other is Yan Zhiwei, I can't help it, but Yan Zhiwei, you can leave it to me, let him raid the family and exterminate the clan, and answer the proverb of "clan salt"! ”

"It doesn't have to be."

Yan Zhiwei was already crazy, and Cui Geng actually didn't want to be angry with his family, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

But Wu Yizong only thought that Cui Geng was deliberately saying something beautiful, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Three days later, also in Nanshi, Wu Yizong punished Yan Zhiwei, that is, the punishment of dividing the corpses of five horses.

This is not over, after Yan Zhiwei's death, Wu Yizong ordered people to shoot arrows at Yan Zhiwei's corpse, shooting the corpse into a hedgehog.

In the end, he personally shaved the flesh on Yan Zhiwei's body and used a steel file to cut off his bones.

If there is still some meaning of being angry with Cui Geng in the front, in the back, Wu Yizong has simply vented his cruel and vicious perverted ~ perverted desire ~ hope.

Of course, if it was simply to kill Yan Zhiwei, Cui Geng would have no opinion, after all, under his leadership, I don't know how many people were ruined, and this person deserved it.

The three clans of Yiyan Zhiwei, although it is a bit excessive, are also stipulated by the laws of the imperial court, and Cui Geng can only go with the flow.

However, the next thing made Cui Geng feel that he could no longer sit idly by.

The day after Yan Zhiwei was razed to the three clans, Song Genhai came to report, and Wang Meifang asked to see him.

Don't look at the execution ground, Wang Meifang and Lu Ruolan regard themselves as Cui Geng's wives and concubines, and they serve very thoughtfully. However, after the turmoil, the two beauties seemed to be shy, hid at home, and never took the initiative to find Cui Geng.

How did she get here?

Cui Geng was suspicious in his heart and ordered Song Genhai to lead the beauty into the house.

"Husband, ......" Wang Meifang's eyes turned red when she saw Cui Geng, and bean-sized tears rolled down her cheeks.

Cui Geng couldn't see a woman crying the most, so he immediately messed up and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, who bullied you?" My husband will definitely give you anger! ”

Wang Meifang choked up and said: "No one bullied the concubine, the concubine wanted to ask her husband to help and save ...... Save those kids, right? ”

"Kid? What child? ”

"It's too late to say, husband, come with me!"

Wang Meifang took the initiative to grab Cui Geng's sleeve and walked out, but Cui Geng had to follow closely.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Cui Geng saw a sea of people in front of him, although there were many people, they were not noisy, on the contrary, almost everyone was crying.

Without much effort, Cui Geng had already squeezed into the crowd, but saw that the prisoner cars were moving around.

Behind the cart were thirty or forty children, some five or six years old, some seven or eight years old, but no more than ten years old.

The children walked slowly forward, surrounded by armoured soldiers with knives and guns on either side. The children had never experienced such a scene before, and they were full of curiosity and looked left and right.

"Alas, pitiful, so pitiful!"

An obese old man with a slight lame right leg kept shaking his head, bought two catties of caramel from the vendor next to him, and said, "Children, come here, grandpa will give you candy to eat." ”

Of course, the children couldn't get over, but they got closer. In desperation, the old man threw the candy in his hand.

The children's eyes lit up and they scrambled for candy. Hee-hee-ha, noisy and non-stop.

Cui Geng had already realized something vaguely at this time, and said, "This is Yan Zhiwei's clan?" ”

Wang Meifang cried out again and said, "These children are all from Yan Zhiwei's distant relatives, and they are not in the three clans at all. In this way, they were still arrested by Wu Yizong, ready to start the knife and behead! It's a pity that these children don't know how difficult it is, and they are still fighting for candy. ”

This is really too much, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou), even if the crime of rebellion, children under the age of 16 can be exempted from death. What's more, these children and Yan Zhiwei are almost out of the fifth suit, and they are completely innocent according to the law.

Wang Meifang said: "They are all called husband Cui Qingtian, and even Lai Junchen is afraid of you." The concubine thought, can the husband ask Wu Yi to intercede to save these children from death? ”

"Alas, little lady, don't be difficult for your husband, he can't control this matter!" Before Cui Geng could speak, the crippled old man suddenly interjected.

Wang Meifang's eyes widened, and she said unconvinced: "What can't be done?" Do you know who the husband of the slave family is? ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "How many people in this world are not afraid to come to Junchen?" The old man could guess that he was Lang Cuigeng, who is now in the limelight. Little lady, tell you, it's useless, do you think it was Wu Yizong's intention to execute these children? Hehe, if he didn't ask for an order, he would dare to do such a thing that would be so unpopular in the world? ”

"Your old majesty is, this is also what your majesty means?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, our majesty, although he is a woman, he is actually extremely resolute. A little writer trying to persuade him to change his mind? Hey, no way! Totally impossible! ”

"That'...... So what to do? ”

Although Wang Meifang took pity on these children, she never had the intention of letting her husband resist Wu Zetian, and suddenly the six gods were ownerless, and she cried again.

Cui Geng was also uncomfortable at this time, he clearly remembered that in history, this did happen, but at the last moment, the courtiers pleaded with Wu Zetian together, and these children were finally pardoned.

Why is it that now, no one has come forward?

Yes!

Like a bolt of lightning swept through Cui Geng's mind, his heart suddenly brightened.

In history, there is no such thing as Cui Geng and Cui Erlang, and of course there is no matter of Li Zhaode leading the high-ranking ~ officials of the imperial court to break into the court.

Therefore, although Li Zhaode was framed and imprisoned by Lai Junchen, there were far fewer officials implicated, and the vitality of the imperial court was still there.

Now that a major case has come down, the upright people in the court have almost broken their backbones, and I'm afraid no one dares to make a war horse.

In other words, if these children do die, they will be to blame!

What to do? What to do?

Cui Geng's mind was racing, and suddenly his eyes lit up, staring at the old man in front of him.

Crippled and fat, with good thoughts, he revealed his identity in one word, and casually pointed out the key to this case, so that the identity of this old man is about to come out.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Meifang, don't worry, the safety of these children is on me." ”

The old man said anxiously: "Cui Erlang, don't be overwhelmed, you can't control this matter." If you don't get it right, you'll have to set yourself on fire. ”

Cui Geng bowed to him and said, "Yes, this kid really can't manage this matter, but someone can manage it." ”

"Who?"

"This person is far away, close at hand. You're right...... Lou Xiangye? ”
