Chapter 372: The Bitter Lord Appears
Outside the Imperial City, Duanmen Square.
"Pit, what a pit!"
The fiery sun scorched the earth, and Cui Geng knelt under the "Tianshu" and secretly slandered.
Originally, he thought that Lou Shide would take him into the palace to face the saint, and when the time came, he would face the gong and drum in front of him, reason with Wu Zetian, and persuade her to withdraw her fate.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Lou's idea was to kneel here to petition like an ordinary person, and this has to kneel until such a time? If the guards guarding the door don't see it, then they will kneel in vain, right?
The good thing is that the worst didn't happen.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I finally saw Liu Laosi and a team of eunuchs riding high-headed horses, holding the holy decree in their hands, and galloping away.
A quarter of an hour later, the cheers of the people were heard.
Cui Geng looked at Lou Shide beside him and said, "It seems that the children have been saved, which is really gratifying." Or...... Xiaguan is going to help you up? β
"No need, the old man's old arms and legs can still make do!" As he spoke, Lou Shide put his hands on the ground and slowly got up.
Cui Geng asked just now because Lou Shide was old and had a high official position. Lou Shide was still kneeling, and he stood up first, which was too rude. Now he could finally get up in peace, but, at this momentβ
"Cui Geng, you kneel!"
With a loud shout, a middle-aged eunuch with a helmet and armor, a loyal appearance, and a white face walked out of the end door.
This person Cui Geng knows, it is Wu Zetian's henchman, Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will be the eunuch Wu Zhuang!
I think that at the beginning, Cui Geng and Li Shan opened a frosting workshop together, and came to Junchen to falsely accuse them of stealing the secret recipe of Lijingmen, and it was this person who was sent by Wu Zetian to investigate the case.
Cui Geng didn't dare to get up, and said, "Gonggong Wu, what do you mean by this?" β
"Your Majesty has a message."
This time, Lou Shide didn't dare to stand, knelt down again, and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." β
Wu Zhuang coughed lightly, learned Wu Zetian's tone, and said: "What you do today, the favor belongs to you, and the grievance belongs to the king, but is it the way to be a minister?" Lou Qing is a loyal elder, and I can forgive him for being in a hurry. But what you Cui Geng is thinking, I can't guess. From now on, kneel here, when you get up, I will escort those children to the execution ground again, and behead them. β
After reading the message, Wu Zhuang smiled with a smile on his face, picked up Lou Shide and said, "Old man Lou, get up quickly, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace." β
Lou Shide winked at Cui Geng and said, "Cui Shu, you can ask for more blessings, the old man can't help you this time." β
After speaking, Shi Shiran followed Wu Zhuang into the palace.
Wipe!
Could this old man have known that this was the result and came to me on purpose? Unexpectedly, this thick-eyed and big-eyed Lou Shide is also a white-haired old fox!
Cui Geng couldn't help but feel a burst of broken thoughts in his heart.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In this way, Cui Geng knelt under the "Tianshu" for seven days and seven nights, but fortunately, Wu Zetian was worthy of him, allowing him to move when he and pee, and drinking water and food were always supplied. There is just one rule, there are four eunuchs following at all times, don't want to be lazy.
I can't stand kneeling for a long time, so I don't need to mention it. The most important thing is that I can't sleep well. After seven days, Cui Geng was already in shape and confused.
Lou Mansion, the main hall house.
Lou Shide's grandson Lou Zhixue glanced at him, and the maids and servants who were serving all retreated with each other.
While beating his grandfather's back, he said cautiously: "Grandpa, this Cui Gengdu has been kneeling for seven days, so you won't plead for him?" β
"Intercession? How to intercede? Lou Shide said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but at the same time, she is still a woman. This woman is a little cautious. You don't let Your Majesty sprinkle this breath on Cui Geng's body, do you want her to sprinkle it on Grandpa and me? β
"However, I heard that Cui Geng is almost unable to hold on, in case he really dies under Tianshu, it will not be good for your reputation?"
Lou Shide shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you can't die, Your Majesty always has this bit of proportion." The old man estimated that it should be about the same. β
Bang~~
As soon as Lou Shide's words fell, suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded in mid-air, followed by a downpour.
Lou Shide's eyes lit up and said, "It seems that Cui Geng's case will have a result today." You hurry up and take him home with a soft sedan car. β
"Don't use it?" Lou Zhixue hesitated: "Cui Geng's wife and concubine, as well as a few loyal subordinates, stay there day and night, and stay there to guard, do you still need me Zhang Luo for this matter?" β
Lou Shide said: "Silly boy! Cui Geng's future is limitless, how many years can grandpa live? I'm asking you to get married in advance. It doesn't matter if the sedan chair can be used, the most important thing is to show an attitude! β
Lou Zhixue scratched his head and said a little unconvinced: "Then why are you deliberately cheating people?" β
"This is called the Dead Dao Friend Immortal Poor Dao. Besides, isn't it kneeling for seven days? After a few days of rest, I was alive again. If Cui Geng cares about this little thing with me, then it is not worthy of the old man's attention. β
"Well, you have a point. The grandson went. β
"Go, go!"
Looking at Lou Zhixue's distant back, Lou Shide muttered: "In addition, Cui Geng, a little bastard, dares to coerce the people to threaten the old man, how can he not let him suffer a little?" However, this time he was also a blessing in disguise. Hehe, in order to save the child and kneeling for seven days, the sympathy of heaven and man descended on Ganlin, this time Cui Qingtian's name is going to resound in Luoyang City. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Lou Shide's speculation is still a little wrong. Cui Geng went through this difficulty, but he didn't just rest for a few days.
The key is not the seven days of kneeling, but a heavy rain, Cui Geng launched a high fever and a serious illness. If it weren't for Song Genhai making an aspirin to save his life, it's hard to say whether he would be able to recover.
It wasn't until a month later that Cui Geng fully regained his health.
Cui Geng had just arrived in Chang'an, and everything was complicated, although he was named a writer, he did not go to the yamen to officially work.
There's no particular reason now.
Cui Geng lived in the Jishanfang Inn not far from the imperial city, on this day, he had breakfast early, took Song Genhai, walked into the imperial city, and went straight to the secretary of the provincial book bureau.
But before he could reach the gate of the Writings Bureau, he was stopped by a young man. οΌ
This person looks about the same age as Cui Geng, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are clear, his teeth are white and his lips are red, the only regret is that his eyes are not very bright, he is not very confident in looking at people, and he is always dodging.
As soon as he saw Cui Geng, he immediately pounced, pulled his neck and shouted: "Cui is gracious, Cui is gracious!" β
Rub, what's going on?
My book bureau is a Qingshui Yamen, how can I still stop the grievances? Besides, how did he know I was coming to work today?
Just when Cui was full of suspicions, many officials from the secretary province gradually gathered around, pointing at the two of them, and discussing a lot.
"Isn't this Cui Erlang? His illness is cured, and I want to learn a few words of poetry and songs with him. By the way, who is that kid? β
"Brother Zhao Nian, don't you smell of it? This is Duan Jian from Shangshu Province! β
"What? Duan Jian? The man pointed to the grass next to him, and said with a strange expression, "That's it...... Lai Junchen...... Cui Geng...... Yes? β
"Hey, isn't it? There's a good show to watch this time! β
β¦β¦
No matter how stupid Cui Geng is, he also understands the taste at this time, this is Wang Meifang's ex-husband, who was forced to divorce his wife by Lai Junchen with an edict.
If you think about it carefully, this is also a big bad luck! However, even if he still wants Wang Meifang back, just say no to himself secretly? Why do you want to be embarrassed in public?
Cui Geng said with his hands in his hands: "Duan Du, please get up quickly, if you have anything to say, let's go to the book bureau and talk slowly." β
Duan Jian hugged his thighs tightly and said, "No! If you don't answer me, I won't get up from death!" Cui Shu, you have Lu Ruolan, just return Meifang to me! Without her, I wouldn't have survived a day! β
Flutter~~
Song Genhai behind Cui Geng couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Can't live a day? Who believes! Little lady Wang has been with you for two years, aren't you living a good life? β
"Uh...... That's what it means, anyway. Duan Jian still hugged her thighs and said, "All in all, I have to take Meifang home today,"
No way!
Isn't that a scoundrel?
Cui Geng frowned and said, "Meifang is going home with you, what should I do if I come to Junchen and ask you for someone else?" Can you protect her? β
Duan Jian nodded firmly: "Yes, too capable." Lai Shaoqing has already promised me that he will never fight Meifang's idea in the future. β
Song Genhai interjected: "Why are you so stupid? If you can believe Junchen's words, the sow can go up the tree! β
"Huh? How to speak? β
As soon as the words fell, a person squeezed out of the crowd, and it was none other than Lai Junchen!
He arched his hand in all directions, and said; "Ladies and gentlemen, there may be many people who have opinions about this official, it doesn't matter, now I just want to ask you one sentence. Since someone became an official, has there been a time when words are not counted? β
People pondered carefully, Lai Junchen lied a lot, and there were many things to frame Zhongliang. , but to ask him if he has broken his word? Not really.
Suddenly, someone answered, "No! β
"That's all right." Lai Junchen looked at Cui Geng and said: "Cui Shushu, since the safety of Little Lady Wang is no problem, and you are not married, should you let Duan Jian and Little Lady Wang reunite?" If you resolutely refuse, I'm afraid you won't be able to live up to Cui Qingtian's name. β
"Dare to wait for this official here!" Cui Geng sneered: "What if the official returns Meifang?" What a blow to me? Come to Shaoqing, don't you think it's too boring for you to disgust your own official with this little thing? β
Lai Junchen snorted lightly and said, "Now it's not about Ben Shaoqing, it's about you Cui Erlang." Don't change the topic, just give someone a happy word for Duan Jian now, right? This Wang Meifang, are you still or not? β
"Can't pay it back!" Wang Meifang suddenly appeared. I don't know which one is not too big to see the excitement, so I gave her a message.
Lai Junchen was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Little lady Wang, there are really not many people in the world who can resist this official." The events of the day, Duan Dushi was also forced to be helpless. Now that the time is ripe, but you refuse to remarry, I'm afraid you have to count it as yours! Could it be that the five surnames and seven princesses are this virtue? β
"Hmph, come to Junchen, you don't talk to me." Wang Meifang said with a frosty face: "Just three days ago, ......"
After listening to Wang Meifang's story, people suddenly realized, and their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at Duan Jian.
Some people even scolded loudly, saying: "Little lady Wang did the right thing!" A soft bone like Duan Jian is not worthy of a wife! β
