"Whoa."
With a promise, from the side hall of the Taiji Palace, a young official came out, wearing a light scarlet robe and decorated with a gold belt, which was the costume of the Wupin Shulang.
This person Cui Geng knows, it is Tang Luzhi!
His face was a little embarrassed, he clenched his fists slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, Cui Xiang, a certain ...... So-and-so has been lying to you. โ
"Huh? Lie to me? โ
A chill surged from Cui Geng's heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You betrayed this official?" That's how you came to be? โ
"You can say the same thing."
"What about Tang Xiu's reappearance?"
"Of course, thanks to Choi Sang."
Although he said it vaguely, Cui Geng understood that this was not referring to himself giving Tang Xiu money and asking him to bribe Empress Wei, but ...... The Tang family father and son sold themselves for a good price!
"Okay, good, you father and son really did it." Cui Geng laughed angrily and said, "I didn't expect that this official would make a pair of wolf-hearted and dog-lung gangsters!" That's it! That's it! I'm blind. โ
Wei Hou's face sank, and he said, "Erlang is cautious! Tang Xiang informed the palace and His Majesty of your small actions out of a loyal and patriotic heart, where can you talk about any wolf heart. But you dare to make some noise in the palace. It's too daring. โ
Cui Geng's face was pale, he knelt on the ground, and said; "Weichen is guilty of capital crimes, please ask the queen and His Majesty to issue a decree to punish him."
Li Xian waved his hand and said warmly: "Get up, what is not guilty?" It's just a matter of children, but am I still as knowledgeable as you? โ
Is it not too much to say that your own actions are suspected of rebellion? Just let it go so easily?
Cui Geng couldn't believe his ears.
Li Xian seemed to see what Cui Geng was thinking, paused, and continued: "Of course, a slight punishment is still required, General He Lounei, don't think about it." Tomorrow, I will preside over the marriage of her and Cui Weiqing. โ
Empress Wei added with a smile: "So that Erlang can know that the secret letters between you and Qing'er have been secretly exchanged by the palace." Qing'er was disheartened and had already taken the initiative to agree to marry Cui Wu, her cousin of the main palace. She even signed the marriage letter, and it was difficult to change it. โ
In fact, with the will of Empress Wei and Li Xian, it makes no difference in law whether He Lou Aoqing signs the marriage letter or not.
But, then again, the symbolism in this heart is really very different.
Thinking that He Lou Aoqing was completely dead to himself and willingly married Cui Wu, Cui Geng was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Let Cui Geng suffer a big loss, so that he can get out of his chest, this is what Empress Wei meant, but Li Xian didn't want to make the relationship between the two sides too stiff.
He said: "The matter has come to this, Erlang, you can accept your fate." In fact, General He Lounei's marriage to Cui Weiqing is not a bad thing. Cui Weiqing is nothing more than a good man, and I have a way to help him turn it around. โ
Cui Geng was puzzled: "Is there a way to reverse this kind of thing?" โ
"Of course. Jin Xiaoji, have you seen it? I'm going to give her to Cui Weiqing too. is so especial~ thing, I'm not afraid that he won't be moved. โ
Let a stunning beauty straighten Cui Wu? Cui Geng thinks how he thinks and thinks it's unreliable.
Besides, why!
Oh, I was busy working in Jinyulou for a long time to marry Cui Wu's little wife!
Li Xian's words not only did not play a comforting role, on the contrary, Cui Geng became even more depressed.
He swallowed and foamed, and said in a dumb voice: "So far, Weichen only asks His Majesty for one thing. โ
"What's the matter? Do you still want to see if Mrs. Longxi's invitation to Zigu is pretending to be a ghost? No need. General Helounei has already signed the marriage certificate, and whether Mrs. Longxi is accurate or not, it is meaningless. โ
"It has nothing to do with Mrs. Longxi. Wechen was wondering if he could invite General Heloune out and let me make it clear to her. โ
"This ...... It's not that I can't say yes, but I advise you not to do it. โ
"Why?"
Empress Wei proudly replied: "Those letters were carefully changed by Zheng, Li Qiao, and Zhang Xi, and you will definitely not be able to explain them clearly for a while." Erlang, are you sure you want to bring humiliation on yourself? โ
Although the character of Zheng, Li Qiao, and Zhang Xi is not very good, their talents and learning are definitely the best in the world.
A few of them worked hard to set up a trick, Cui Geng wanted to explain it clearly, and the difficulty can be imagined. What's more, this is not only a matter of a few letters, but also the provocation of He Louqian, the person closest to He Lou Aoqing!
Cui Geng thought for a moment and said firmly: "If you take your own humiliation, you will take your own humiliation!" I also ask for your Majesty and the Queen's permission. โ
"Alright, bring General Heronne."
"Yes."
After a while, with the sound of footsteps, He Lou Aoqing walked into the main hall. After not seeing her for many days, her figure was very light, and there was an expression of sadness on her face that was more sad than dead.
Cui Gengdao: "General He Lounei, listen to me, He Louqian betrayed you and me, and the letters she passed on were all fake!" โ
"What? Do you still want to act? He Lou Aoqing sneered: "If you Cui Xiang are willing to act, you can act by yourself, but I want to marry a wife and abide by the way of a woman." โ
"It's not acting, what Cui said just now comes from the bottom of my heart."
"Oh, from the bottom of my heart, but what does it have to do with me?"
"You ......"
Sure enough, it's really not clear.
Cui Geng had cold sweat on his forehead, but he had no countermeasures.
Empress Wei's heart at this time was as ironed as eating an iced watermelon on a dog day, and said, "Cui Xiang really doesn't want General He Lounei to marry Cui Weiqing?" โ
"Of course."
"Well, this palace will give you a favor." Empress Wei showed a cat-and-mouse expression on her face, and said, "In today's tug-of-war, this palace has thought of a novel way to play. The Datang high-level ~ officials at the scene, about 700 people, formed a team. This palace gives you seven hundred palace maids, and also forms a team. The two teams started to tug-of-war, if the palace maid team won......"
"You're going to annul General Herone's marriage contract?"
"You want to be beautiful!" Empress Wei said: "At best, this palace promised you that you can postpone the wedding by a day." โ
It's a very unfair bet.
Cui Geng won in order to postpone the wedding of He Lou Aoqing and Cui Wu by one day.
So what price does he have to pay?
First of all, Cui Geng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, commanded a group of palace maids to tug of war, is it a shame to spread it?
Secondly, if these palace maids win the courtiers and spread the word, where will the faces of these courtiers go? Wouldn't Cui Geng become the target of public criticism?
And most importantly, men's physical strength and weight are congenitally much stronger than women's. Why does Cui Geng think he can win?
It can be said that when Empress Wei said this, she was just pretending to be generous.
However, a good Cui Erlang, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, prefers to go to Tiger Mountain!
He thought for a moment and said, "It's good to delay for a day, Weichen will ...... Promised! โ
"Huh? Did you know what that means? โ
"Of course Weichen understands." Cui Gengzheng said: "But Weichen understands better that if you don't agree to this matter today, you will regret it in the future." โ
As he spoke, he looked at He Lou Aoqing and said, "General He Lounei, for your sake, the prime minister is willing to lead seven hundred palace maids to tug-of-war, and bear all the consequences." Does this count as sincerity? โ
Cui Geng's self-proclaimed "true appearance" is not to play official prestige, but to emphasize that he has to pay a huge price for this matter.
The hesitation in He Lou Aoqing's eyes flashed, and he said, "No matter what you say and do, the slave will no longer believe you, and it will be in vain." โ
"Even if General He Lou Nei doesn't believe it, Cui is also responsible for it." As he spoke, Cui Geng looked at Wei Hou and said, "I don't know...... Is it possible to start now? โ
Wei Hou said: "Since Erlang, you insist on doing it, why should this palace be a villain in vain?" Let's go. โ
