It is said that dealing with such a major matter is the work of Wu Zetian and the important ministers of the court, and it has little to do with Cui Geng and Wu Chongxun, let alone those tributes.

However, these new Jinshi and Mingjing have just passed the examination, and their enthusiasm for participating in politics is particularly high, and they have refused to leave for a long time.

They refused to leave, and those who had nothing to do refused to leave. Even Cui Geng was afraid that something would happen to him, and Wu Chongxun was afraid that Du Xian would add fuel and vinegar after he left, so he refused to leave.

So, hundreds of people stood stupidly in front of the end door and saw what was going on.

In a few moments, the cars of the ministers arrived. Wu Zetianxia ordered the end door to open and ordered the ministers and the knight who beat the drum to enter.

The retinue of these important ministers stood with the tributes, and the little that Wu Sansi did soon became known to everyone.

After waiting for another hour or so, it was almost five watches, and there was still no movement.

Cui Geng yawned and said, "I said everyone, it seems that something terrible has happened, and it is difficult for Your Majesty and the important ministers to make a decision for a while. It's no fun for everyone to wait here, so let's disperse and go back to sleep. ”

"The teacher's words are wrong!" Du Xian stepped forward and said: "Chengjun Prison has a sub-couplet, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the family, the country, and the world care about everything. When such a major incident has happened to the country, we should actively listen and offer advice for the country, so how can we go back to sleep in a hurry? ”

"What Brother Du said is extremely true!"

"Since we have received the emperor's favor, we should do our best to serve!"

"The teacher is tired, you can go back to rest first, and the disciple will inform you if he has news!"

Most of these new scholars still have the dream of "a clever plan to be appreciated by the emperor and rise to the top from then on", and they have responded one after another.

Cui Geng didn't want to discourage their enthusiasm, and he was helpless for a while.

Wu Chongxun was in a hurry to go home, but he said disdainfully: "Cut! Just you, Du Xian, still contribute to the country? It's not that I look down on you, let alone you, it's Cui Kaogong, and there is no room for beak in this kind of big thing! ”

It is also in line with Wu Chongxun's bad luck, how can it be so coincidental, as soon as his words fell, Wu Zetian's personal eunuch Gao Lishi walked out of the end door.

At a glance, he saw Cui Geng's dazzling light green robe, and beckoned: "Cui Kaogong, you are here, hurry up and come with the slave maid, Your Majesty has summoned you!" ”

"I ......"

Wu Chongxun's face was full of disbelief, and he said, "Gonggong Gao, you are not wrong, right?" His Majesty now has the kung fu to summon him...... A six-rank official? Isn't there a big incident in the imperial court now? ”

Gao Lishi said: "Yes, it is precisely because His Majesty and the prime ministers cannot make a decision on that major matter that Cui Kaogong was summoned to ask questions!" ”

"How is that possible?"

"How could it not be? The last time Du interrogated the case, it was difficult for His Majesty and the prime ministers to make a decision for a while, and Cui Kaogong came up with a clever plan to find out the facts of the case. Now that Your Majesty has a problem, why can't you ask Cui Kaogong? ”

Cui Ying interfered in Du Pre's case, and for the sake of Wu Zetian's fame, the court only announced that he had written to abolish the "ban on slaughter". Wu Sansi didn't mention it to Wu Chongxun because it was too small, so he really didn't know about it.

Now after Gao Lishi's little "Du Xianyan", he understood in an instant, and said: "According to this, Your Majesty really summoned Cui to ask questions?" ”

"Why am I lying to you?" Gao Lishi said: "Gaoyang Wang Chitose, don't stop me, I have to hurry back with Cui Kaogong to restore my life." ”

"Don't mind!

Wu Chongxun instantly remembered a very serious problem, just now his father Wu Sansi had already entered the palace.

However, he went in a hurry, and what exactly happened here, but it was not very clear. What if Cui Ying is allowed to say it in front of His Majesty, and his father is defenseless?

Thinking of this, Wu Chongxun hurriedly smiled and said, "Father-in-law Gao, Xiao Wang has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"This ...... Xiao Wang also has a heart to serve the country, and there is such a big thing in the court, can you take me with you? ”

Wu Chongxun was favored in front of Wu Zetian, and Gao Lishi really didn't want to give him face, so he had to say: "Okay, then the slave maid will mention to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't see you, I don't dare to guarantee it." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Gao."

Cui Geng and Wu Chongxun followed Gao Lishi into the end gate, and the gang of new scientists and Ming Jing behind them exploded.

"How? See? ”

"How's that?"

"Our teacher, good fellow, so young, less than thirty, he has become a foreign examiner, and he has to be so valued by His Majesty, isn't this a great future?"

"Nonsense, you can see it? Tell you, this is not only an issue that His Majesty attaches great importance to, you must know that now the important ministers of the court are in the palace. When Your Majesty made this will, why was no one to stop it? This shows that the teacher's talent is recognized even by the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government! ”

"In this way, with the teacher taking care of you, wouldn't our candidates have a great future?"

"That's natural, we have to fight in the future, don't embarrass the teacher. In addition, our own people can be as close as possible, twisted into a rope, serve the court, and share the worries of the teacher. Belch...... By the way, in the next Songzhou Niu Wannian, I don't know if your surname is Gaoming, brother? ”

"I'm Ezhou Qiaoyun Mountain."

……

……

The new jinshi discussed a lot, and Cui Geng himself, together with Wu Chongxun and Gao Lishi, entered the palace and came to Tongtian Palace.

Gao Lishi went in to report, and Wu Zetian immediately issued an order to announce that the two of them would enter the palace.

When the monarch and the minister saw that the ceremony was over, after Wu Zetian gave the seat, as soon as he made his eyes, Wu Sansi, the head of the prime minister, coughed lightly and told the story of the big event that happened.

It turned out that just ten days ago, Tubo Zampu Dusong Mangbu could no longer bear the monopoly of power in the Qinling Tomb, and took advantage of the fact that he went out to raise the army, gathered more than 2,000 henchmen and soldiers to uproot the clansmen and cronies in the royal capital.

When he learned about it, he was furious, rebelled, and fought a big battle with Dusong Mangbu. Although he used his soldiers like a god, his name was not right, and the Tibetan army was more loyal to Zampu. Eventually, Lun Chinling committed suicide in Tsongkha, and hundreds of people were voluntarily martyred with it.

Of course, that's not the point.

The key is that now on Qinling's second son, Gongren, is leading more than 7,000 tents and more than 38,000 people into Zhou to ask for asylum.

When Tubo Zampu Dusong Mangbu learned about it, he sent an envoy to the Great Zhou to negotiate, demanding the return of Gongren, otherwise he would declare war on the Great Zhou.

Anxi Du Guo Yuanzhen did not dare to call the shots, and flew to report to Wu Zetian.

However, after Gong Ren learned the news of the arrival of the Tibetan Zanpu envoy, he was deeply afraid that Guo Yuanzhen would betray him. So, he immediately took more than 3,000 people under his heart and abdomen to get out of Guo Yuanzhen's control and came in the direction of Luoyang.

Of course, Guo Yuanzhen can lead people to chase him, but what if Gong Ren misunderstands and there is a fire between the two sides?

People are of the same mind and reason, and local officials do not dare to stop them.

What is good is that after the messenger learned the news, he was afraid that after he returned, Tubo Zampu would punish him, and he also took the servant Pegasus to pursue Gongren.

Therefore, Guo Yuanzhen had to send his henchmen to report the news as quickly as possible, and ask Wu Zetian to make a decision - whether to leave Gongren behind, or hand it over to the Tibetan envoy?

Now, whether it is the envoy or the Gongren, it is only half a day's journey from Luoyang.

The courtiers debated whether or not to protect Gong Ren.

After several years of recuperation, the Great Zhou court was not afraid of Tibet. But is it worth it for the sake of a meritorious person?

Besides, who dares to say that the war is dangerous? In case the Great Zhou War is defeated, tens of thousands of teachers are lost, and the people are displaced, who will bear this responsibility?

And the most important thing is that if you talk about merit and benevolence, you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Obviously, he is a lost dog, and he has no choice but to vote for Da Zhou, and this kind of benchmark for surrender is necessary!

Therefore, many courtiers were opposed to the acceptance of Gong Ren.

Of course, there are also people who support meritorious benevolence, for example, Her Majesty the Empress herself is very enthusiastic - if Tubo wants someone to release him, wouldn't I be very faceless? In addition, now that Tibet has gone through a civil war, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and if he does not come to attack me, I still want to meet him!

In this way, the two sides argued, and Wu Zetian had an idea, remembering Cui Ying's last offer, so he asked him to ask the right question.

After Wu Sansi finished his introduction, he asked Cui Gengdao: "Regarding whether to accept or not to accept merit, I wonder if Cui Cha has any strategy for the best of both worlds?"
