"Kidnapping?"

Cui Riyong understood in an instant, waved his hand, and said, "Erlang Mo said so ugly. At the beginning, the overlord of Chu used to use Han Gaozu's father to coerce Han Gaozu. The history is full of history, and the reputation of the overlord of Chu is okay. ”

Cui Geng said angrily: "In this case, should the prince Li Chongfu reply: My mother is your sister-in-law, after cooking, you should give me a broth to drink?" ”

After a pause, he muttered: "Anyway, Empress Wei is not Li Chongfu's mother, and the two sides are on the same page." What can you threaten with Empress Wei? ”

Cui Ri raised his eyebrows and said firmly: "Why should the virtuous brother deceive himself? That's right, Empress Wei can't threaten Li Chongfu, and we don't plan to rely on her to threaten Li Chongfu. But isn't she a threat? Even if you don't have those vows, can you watch Li Bao'er's mother die and not save her? ”

Cui Geng was speechless for a while, and said, "You ...... What do you really want? ”

"As long as the virtuous brother can admit his mistake to His Majesty, not only can Empress Wei return it to you, but His Majesty can also crown you as the King of Chu, hereditary replacement. In addition, Hebei, Shandong Erdao and even the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate are all considered your fiefdoms, and all military and political affairs are decided by you with one word. ”

"That sounds generous. If an agreement can really be reached, then I, Cui Erlang, will not have the name of the emperor, but I will have the reality of the emperor. But...... What about Prince Li Chongfu? ”

"Of course, it is to access Jingzhong Rongyang."

Cui Geng smiled coldly and said, "Then, in a few years, Li Chongfu and the young emperor Li Chongmao died of a violent illness?" ”

Cui Ri said earnestly: "Erlang, there are some things, if you really say it too clearly, it won't be interesting." For example, this Li Chongfu, if he doesn't die, will Your Majesty be able to sleep peacefully? Why do you give up the opportunity to tear the earth and become the king for the sake of a Li Chongfu? ”

Cui Geng's expression was solemn and said, "Since you have said this, I will also say something from my heart." Indeed, I don't have a deep friendship with Li Chongfu, so I can't fight for his life. However, I have a deep relationship with another person. ”

"Who?"

"It's the First Emperor!" Cui Geng said angrily: "Even if the first emperor can't live with the people of the world, he is definitely worthy of me Cui Geng and Cui Erlang." How could I watch him die? So...... If you want Li Chongfu's life, please step on my Cui Erlang's corpse first. ”

Cui Riyong's face didn't look good, and said, "That's what you don't talk about?" Would you rather give up Empress Wei for the sake of Li Chongfu? Could it be that if you do this, Li Xian's spirit in the sky will be very happy? ”

It's weird!

I'm afraid that in Li Xian's eyes, a hundred Li Chongfu can't compare to a little finger of Empress Wei. Of course, it is completely impossible for Cui Geng to betray Li Chongfu like this.

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let Li Chongfu be incognito and declare that he is dead." ”

"No! As long as Li Chongfu lives for one day, he is the biggest threat to His Majesty's power. You can't pin the safety of the throne on the strict guarding of Li Chongfu. Besides...... Will you keep a strict watch over him, but not necessarily? ”

……

In this way, because Empress Wei fell into the hands of Li Dan, the two sides had the intention of peace talks.

Of course, it's just an intention. In Li Dan's view, Li Chongfu's death is the bottom line. However, Cui Geng had to keep Li Chongfu alive, and the two sides were completely irreconcilable.

In the end, the two sides agreed to discuss another day, and Cui Riyong went back to his life.

……

……

Inside the palace of Linzi Wang.

Liu Youqiu, Cui Riyong, Zhong Shaojing, Zhang Shuo, Jiang Jiao, Wang Ju and other Li Longji's henchmen gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Li Longji propped his chin and groaned: "Then Cui Erlang is bent on going his own way and wants to save Li Chongfu's life, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Jiao said: "Since he toasts so much and doesn't eat and drink, let's simply announce the news that Empress Wei is still alive, forcing him to give up all his duties and resign." Isn't he Cui Geng called Cui Qingtian? What's the matter if you don't care about your mother-in-law's life or death? As long as there is no Cui Geng's support, Li Chongfu is a toothless tiger, and we will take his life ourselves! ”

"That's not what you say."

Wang Ju shook his head slowly and said, "It's really urgent, Cui Geng can completely say that Queen Nawei is fake." Don't forget, it was we who released the news that Empress Wei was dead. How can the world believe us? Besides, he gave up Li Xian's wife for Li Xian's son, which is not a sin in the eyes of the world. ”

Zhang Shuo nodded: "Exactly." Empress Wei is notorious, and perhaps, people still think that he is righteous and killed relatives. ”

"So what do you say?" Jiang Jiao said unconvinced: "Is it possible, let's really agree to Cui Geng's request and let Li Chongfu be incognito?" ”

Wang Ju groaned: "Of course it can't be incognito. Without Empress Wei's constraints, Cui Geng is not ready to tear up the agreement at any time. Huh! Pregnant! ”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "What about letting Li Chongfu live?" I have a plan, even if he is alive, it will be difficult to cause any harm to us. In addition, it can also make Cui Geng like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and he can't say what he is suffering from! ”

Li Longji said: "Will the plan be released? ”

"The people we can worry about are none other than Cui Geng and Li Chongfu, one is very strong, the other is righteous, and the two together are difficult to resist. So...... Wouldn't we just let them get together? ”

"Eh, that's interesting, keep talking."

"Wait until tomorrow, let Brother Riyong negotiate with Cui Geng again, not only agree to his conditions, but also exceed it."

Wang Ju stretched out three fingers and broken: "First, Cui Geng was changed from the king of Chu to the king of Ji, split the soil, ruled the two provinces of Hebei and Shandong, as well as the Andong Protectorate, and the imperial court did not interfere in all military and political affairs. Second, Li Chongfu was renamed the king of Yan, and temporarily handled the military and political affairs in the territory for Cui Geng. ”

Zhang Shuo interrupted: "You want to ...... Let Cui Geng and Li Chongfu fight each other? ”

"No, no." Wang Ju shook his head and said, "Li Chongfu is just a Chinese asset. If Cui Geng is a tiger, then Li Chongfu is just a dog at best, why should he compete with Cui Geng? Note that I'm talking about letting him "temporarily handle the military and political affairs in the territory for Cui Geng". In other words, Cui Geng must agree to our conditions, stay in Chang'an City, and do the Pingzhang work under the Zhongshu Sect! Ha ha! ”

When he said this, people understood in an instant.

Even if Cui Geng's original conditions were agreed, before Li Chongfu was incognito, everyone would have to let Empress Wei go. Otherwise, Cui Geng didn't know whether Empress Wei was dead or alive, and he would not be able to reach a compromise at all.

Now it's okay, let Cui Geng continue to be the prime minister in Chang'an, and then put Empress Wei back in Cui Geng's mansion and keep a close watch on his mansion. This is equivalent to putting Empress Wei and Cui Geng under house arrest.

And outside, there is Li Chongfu's army, ensuring that Li Dan will not jump over the wall in a hurry and kill Cui Geng, on the surface, it is really a solution acceptable to both parties, it depends on whether Cui Geng agrees or not.
