Liang Guogong Mansion, back house flower hall.

Di Renjie poured Cui Geng a glass of wine with his own hands and said, "Today's events, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have made great contributions to Cui Geng's work." Come, old man toasts you! ”

"Where, in fact, the main thing is that King Luling behaves well, and Xia Guan just has a small idea."

Di Renjie said: "The key is, of course, the King of Luling. In fact, Your Majesty also knows that the words that King Luling said, nine times out of ten, were your Cui Geng's idea. But so what? As long as King Luling is willing to express his position in public, maintain the existence of the Great Zhou and live in harmony with the martial family, she will be satisfied. ”

As he spoke, Di Renjie pointed to his head and continued: "The old lady has no choice but to deceive herself. No matter whether King Luling said this sincerely or falsely, she listened to it seriously! ”

Cui Geng also understands this truth, "Alas, Your Majesty is also a generation of heroes, and it is really embarrassing to be reduced to this point." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? But...... The cycle of life and death, the cycle of withering and glory, is the right principle in the world, and no one can avoid it. ”

After a pause, Di Renjie seemed to think that his days were numbered, and he couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, and changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about Your Majesty." Or let's talk about you, Jiro? How did you come up with the idea of a "three-hoop week for ten thousand years"? What a stroke of genius! ”

Cui Geng's source of inspiration is, of course, the allusion of later generations, "a bucket of evergreen." ”

At that time, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was in power, and the ministers offered various precious gifts. Gao Shiqi's family was poor, and he was an honest official, so he didn't have any treasures to give, so he had an idea and offered a wooden barrel. The barrel contained grass and was named "Unified Evergreen".

Qing is the homonym of "Qing", Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and rewarded Gao Shiqi.

Cui Geng also offered barreled grass today, but he made a few changes to its "meaning".

Later generations recorded Wu Zetian's arrangements for the aftermath in great detail. Cui Geng's slight trick can make King Luling scratch Wu Zetian's itch every word.

Of course, there is no need to explain the cause and effect of this to Di Renjie clearly, Cui Geng chuckled lightly and said, "It was also the Luling King Hongfu Qitian, who was lucky enough to think of it at the next moment." ”

"Where, Cui is too modest. You are full of wisdom, which is the word "fluke", can be described? I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty in the future will have to rely on your assistance. ”

As he spoke, Di Renjie suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Cui Shushu, what do you look at such a thing?" ”

"What is this?"

Cui Geng took it and looked at it, but it was a deed, saying that on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain person, someone was willing to worship someone as a teacher. In the future, those who are teachers will teach their disciples sincerely, and those who are disciples will also respect their teachers. If this deed is violated, the gods will be worshipped. There is no evidence for empty words, and words are proof.

The names of the masters and apprentices on it are all empty, only the guarantor has three big characters written: Di Renjie.

Cui Geng groaned: "What does Master Di mean...... Is someone who wants to worship the official as a teacher and entrust it to your side? This person's face is really big enough! ”

Di Renjie shook his head slightly, and said nonchalantly: "It is okay for Cui to accept a few disciples, or to worship others as teachers, it doesn't matter." And most importantly......"

"What?"

"You've got to sign this!"

"Huh?" Cui Geng's heart moved, and he said, "Then if the lower official accepts disciples, who can he accept?" ”

"There are too many, such as Xue Wangang, the grandson of Xue Sixing, the general of Zuo Weiwei, and Wei Mingfang, the grandson of Wei Xiang...... Wait,"

"Then what if the lower official is apprenticed?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Zhang Cambodia, Cui Xuanwei, Jinghui, Huan Yanfan, Yuan Shuji, Cui Shuji, you can choose one by yourself." ”

"I ......"

If Cui Geng doesn't know what Xue Sixing's origin is, then he knows "Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan, Yuan Shuji" too well.

These five people were the key figures who launched the "Shenlong Coup" in the future and forced Wu Zetian to abdicate to Li Xian.

In this case, it is obvious why Di Renjie signed this deed by himself.

Cui Geng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Di, you want to sign a letter of nomination for me!" ”

"That's right, it's just a vote, once the matter is defeated, Your Majesty can arrest people according to these deeds." Di Renjie said with a straight face: "I'm afraid the old man won't see the day when Li Tang will be revived, so he can only pin his hopes on young talents like Cui Shu." Ignorance...... Will you not sign this deed? ”

……

……

Here Di Renjie and Cui Geng had a secret conversation, but over there Li Xian was left behind by Wu Zetian. The reunion of mother and son, the meeting in the secret room, although it is not to the point of hugging and crying, but it is also full of family joy to talk about goodbye.

The mother and son talked for more than an hour, and Wu Zetian rewarded Li Xian with a lot of things, and said: "Xian'er, your Luling Mansion in the capital, although it is dilapidated. But I don't think you can stay there for a few days, so I don't have anyone to rest, so you can bear with it for a few days. In a few days, I'll find you a better place to go. ”

Isn't a better place to go than the Luling Palace, the prince's East Palace? Li Xian knelt down again and thanked him, and said: "The saint's kindness to Erchen is really hard to repay!" ”

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Okay, my mother and son, there is no need for such politeness." Belch...... When I am tired, kneel down. ”

"Yes!"

Li Xian kowtowed a few more times, resigned from Wu Zetian, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, he went out of the palace gate.

"Lord Wang, your horse."

"Hmm."

Li Xian took the reins handed over by his entourage and was about to turn over and get on his horse.

But at this moment, suddenly a shout came from afar, saying: "King Luling, King Luling, wait for the lower official, wait for the lower official!" ”

Li Xian followed the prestige, but saw a tall official in a scarlet robe running towards him.

At today's reception banquet, Li Xian had seen this person. It's just that it doesn't know who his surname is and what his official position is.

He wondered, "May I ask ...... you?"

The official hurriedly smiled and said: "Weichen's name is Ji Xuan, because of his meritorious service to Junchen, he was promoted by His Majesty to the title of Zhongcheng of the Imperial History of the Right Su Zhengtai." ”

"Ji Ji?"

"Yes, Ji Ji is Wei Chen, Wei Chen is Ji Chen. I am tall, I walk with my head held high, I look high and look far away, and people give me the nickname "Wangliu Camel" ......"

Ji Ji kept chattering, but he saw that Li Xian, the king of Luling, was at a loss on his face, and after a while, he was not interested.

He thought for a while, and simply said directly: "Didn't King Luling listen to Cui's writings and mention Weichen?" In order to reconcile the Zhang brothers with you, Weichen spent a lot of thought! ”

At the beginning, Cui Geng was going to mention Ji Ji with Li Xian, but Li Xian had a ghost in his heart at the time, and he was eager to say that he "didn't help each other", so he diverted the topic, so he didn't know what role Ji Ji really played in this.

Now seeing that Ji Ji took the initiative to show his merits, he suddenly thought crookedly, and only thought that Ji Ji was a shameless villain who was greedy for Cui Gong's work.

Now, Li Xian is 110,000 grateful to Cui Geng, how can such a thing happen?

His face sank, and he said coldly, "Oh? Is it? Cui really didn't mention you. Could it be ...... The Zhang brothers reconciled with this king, and you have the credit of Ji Ji Zhongcheng? ”

"He's ......"

It's true that Ji Ji is a villain, but he is different from other villains, not by slipping his whiskers and slapping horses, but by doing everything he can to see the seams. Such characters never think that there is something wrong with their character. On the contrary, they are arrogant and have no eyes.

Hearing Li Xian's words, a nameless fire suddenly surged into Ji Xian's heart, and he said coldly: "Oh, it turns out that it is all the credit of Cui's writings, and the lower official is really too abrupt." Belch...... It's not early, the prince will take care of it, and the official will leave! ”

After that, he made a hasty salute and went straight to the palace gate, asking to see Zhang Changzong.

Ji Ji's current official position is the middle of the imperial history, and he can really be regarded as a dignitary in the court, and the eunuchs guarding the palace gate dare not slack off, and they are quick to pass through.

It didn't take much effort, and Ji Ji met the Zhang brothers in the Yingxian Pavilion.

"Come, Ji Zhongcheng, sit here!" Zhang Changzong took the initiative to get up to greet him and said, "Our brother is ready to thank you, and you took the initiative to come, this is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

"Oh? Thank you, Xiaguan? Why? ”

Zhang Changzong first drank a glass of wine beautifully, and then uncovered the mystery and said, "Ji Zhongcheng, you are really smart and confused for a while." Isn't this obvious? Your Majesty intends to appoint Li Xian, the king of Luling, as the crown prince, and this has the merit of our brother advising His Majesty. With such a great achievement, won't our brothers be able to enjoy wealth for a long time? ”

Zhang Yizhi added: "And the reason why our brother can make such a great contribution depends on your guidance from Ji Zhongcheng. Shouldn't I thank you? ”

After a pause, he said: "Hey, by the way, that Cui Geng is very favored by King Luling, you say...... Shall we find a chance to reconcile with Cui Geng? ”

Erzhang and Cui Geng reconciled?

How could Ji Ji tolerate this happening?

He secretly thought in his heart, Cui Geng, Cui Geng, this official has tried his best to do things for you, but you have covered up the work of this official! Since you are unkind, don't blame the official for being unjust!

Thinking of this, he said with a solemn face: "Never! ”

"Why not?

"Uh...... Cui Geng's family is the most resentful, but His Majesty's nephew Wu Sanzhong offended him, and he set up a poisonous plan to destroy his family. Lai Junchen just competed with him for a woman, and he was killed without a place to be buried. In addition, there are Sun Yangao, Fan Guanglie, and Jiugongzi...... Wait a minute. Even if you want to reconcile, can Cui Erlang agree? ”

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi trusted Ji Ji a lot, and when they looked at each other, they also felt that this matter was not so simple.

Zhang Yizhi: "Having said that, how do you know if you don't try?" After all, Cui Geng is the confidant of King Luling, if the old lady has any accidents. We have to rely on the King of Luling to make a living. It's really too stiff to have a relationship with Cui Geng, so it's not a big deal, right? ”

Ji Ji smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong?" The reason why King Luling regarded Cui Geng as a confidant was just because he was useful. If we make him useless, it won't be long before Cui Geng will fall out of favor! ”

Zhang Changzong said: "Will the plan be released? ”

"The lower officials have a plan, which is called to use the way of others to govern the other side. As long as the two of you are ...... So...... Tell Your Majesty that keeping it can make Cui Gengzhi lose his temper! ”
