Chapter 459: The Empress Gives Marriage
"Huh? Cui's book doesn't belong to Shensi, but he is not satisfied with this Wurong County man? Just when Cui Geng was thinking wildly, Wu Zetian pulled him back to reality with a word.
Cui Geng was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen was born in selling wine, and he was favored by His Majesty to enter the official career, in just a few years, the official title of Wupin Lang, the title of Wurong County man, what kind of grace is this?" If Weichen is still dissatisfied, is it still a person? ”
In fact, with Cui Geng's credit, this reward is indeed not very good, but the key is that he is young. In less than thirty, he achieved this achievement, and almost all the children of the family were killed. If Wu Zetian rewards Cui Geng again, he may really become the target of everyone. Therefore, Wu Zetian's reward must not be considered thin.
Wu Zetian said: "Since Cui Shushu is not dissatisfied with the officials who have been rewarded by me, what are you thinking?" ”
"Uh...... This ......"
Cui Geng can't say that he wants Di Renjie to regain his appearance, right? This matter can be mentioned by others, but he, a recognized member of the "Di Party", must not mention it!
Eh, there is!
Cui Geng's wit moved, and said: "What Weichen thinks is that His Majesty once promised that if I can say that the Turks will send troops, you can let Weichen marry two wives." Now that Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored, you didn't mention it in your holy decree! ”
Wu Zetian glanced around, and said with a smile on his face: "Dare to love Cui Aiqing is worried about this, in fact, there is no need for a holy decree in this matter, as long as two people nod their heads." ”
"But I don't know which two of them?"
"One is Cui Aiqing, and the other is Cui Yuanzong, my virtuous minister."
At the beginning, Cui Yuanzong was demoted by Wu Zetian because he ate the melon of Li Zhaode's rebellion. Later, the case of Liu Sili and Qi Lianyao broke out, and the prime ministers Li Yuan and Sun Yuanheng were implicated, and only Lou Shide, Su Wei and Li Qiao were left in the prime minister team of the Great Zhou.
In the end, Wu Zetian transferred Cui Yuanzong back to Luoyang, and added Wei Yuanzhong, who was newly transferred back from the northwest, to form a new five-member prime minister team.
To be honest, although Cui Geng recognized the Boling Cui family, because of all kinds of mistakes, he really didn't have much to do with Cui Yuanzong, let alone any friendship, it can only be said that he knew each other.
Cui Geng was puzzled: "How can Weichen's marriage be related to Cui Xiangye?" ”
"Originally, it didn't matter, but if Cui Aiqing didn't want Princess Pingyang to be wronged as a concubine, there must be a relationship." Wu Zetian seemed to be in a very good mood today, and when he had sold enough, he uncovered the mystery and said: "As long as Cui Aiqing recognizes Cui Xiang as his father-in-law and has two rooms, he can naturally marry a second wife." ”
That's right,!
Cui Geng finally understood Wu Zetian's plan, although according to the laws of the Great Zhou, it is impossible for a man to marry two wives, even the emperor is no exception. However, there is one circumstance that can be accommodating.
For example, there are two brothers, the elder brother has no heir, and the younger brother has only one son. Inherit this son to the elder brother, and the younger brother will be the heir again. What can I do? This is where Kanji comes into being.
This son is counted as the son of the elder brother and the son of the younger brother, and he may marry two wives. In fact, these two so-called "wives" are not sisters who serve a husband, but concubines.
Of course, Cui Geng didn't have this idea before. But first, this is not equivalent to recognizing a godfather, but equivalent to recognizing one more father, and he really can't pull his face. Second, even if he really recognizes a cheap father for Radami Zhu, this candidate is not easy to find.
Don't forget, what is Cui Geng's identity now? The five products of the official residence, the Great Zhou writer? Who is worthy to be his father?
Even if the identity is enough, two conditions must be met: first, at least the surname Cui, and it is a member of the Boling Cui family, otherwise both parties cannot afford to lose this person. Second, the cheap father that Cui Geng wants to recognize must have no heirs.
The range of options is too narrow.
Cui Geng pondered for a while, and felt that there was little hope. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian really found this almost impossible candidate.
But don't worry, we'll have to make sure at the end.
Cui Gengdao: "Does Cui Xiang have no son?" ”
Wu Yizong couldn't help it, and said, "Hey, don't talk about my son, this old Cui Tou doesn't even have a daughter." Because when he got married, he was fifty-eight years old......"
Then, he told a legend of Cui Yuanzong.
Cui Yuanzong's family is in the Boling Cui family, which is regarded as a side branch, and the family background is not very good. He has great ambitions, and he has always wanted to be a Zhongjin Shi and glorify his ancestors, so he is old and has not married a wife.
finally won the jinshi, and also joined the army in Yizhou, and Cui Yuanzong also became a thirty-nine-year-old leftover man.
It's time to get married, right? No.
At that time, the date was set, and Cui Yuanzong suddenly had a dream, in which a man of God said to him: "The woman of this family is not your destined daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law was born today." ”
Cui Yuanzong was vague, followed the god man to a house in the north of the West Road of Luoyang Luxinfang Cross Street, and saw a woman give birth to a daughter.
The man of God pointed to the infant baby and said, "This is your daughter-in-law!" ”
Cui Yuan felt that this dream was too ridiculous, and woke up in an instant.
Zi is silent, strange and ghostly, of course Cui Yuanzong will not take a dream seriously. However, the news came immediately that the woman he was about to marry had died of a violent illness!
This time, Cui Yuanzong couldn't believe it, and he didn't think about marriage at all from then on, until he was fifty-eight years old, and he married the cousin of Wei Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The bride was only nineteen years old, and she was the woman the man of God was referring to.
Although they are old husbands and young wives, after marriage, the two respect each other like guests, raise their eyebrows, and their small days are also beautiful. The only fly in the ointment is that Cui Yuanzong is old, and it is completely impossible to give birth to a boy and a girl.
In fact, to recognize Cui Geng as his son, Wu Zetian has already talked to Cui Yuanzong. The old prime minister is almost seventy this year, and he has not closed his eyes for a few nights in a daze.
He was also quite nervous at this time, swallowed and spit, and said, "If Erlang doesn't dislike it, let's get married." The old man has checked it, and this generation is good. Belch...... The old man doesn't expect Erlang to be filial to you, mainly for the sake of Princess Pingyang, he ......"
"Cui Xiangmo said it again."
Cui Geng has now figured it out, and if he wants to marry Radamizhu as his wife, there is no way out except for the two rooms. If you have to recognize another father, Cui Yuanzong is really the best choice.
Thinking of this, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt on the ground, and said, "Daddy is above, please accept the child's worship!" ”
"Okay, good, good, please." The old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and helped Cui Geng up with his own hands, looking up and down, looking left and right, the more he looked, the more happy he was, and muttered: "I, Cui Yuanzong, have a future, I Cui Yuanzong has a future!" ”
Wu Zetian joked: "Cui Xiang is not only a queen, but after Cui Aiqing and Princess Pingyang get married, the day when you hold your grandson is not far away." I am a good person to the end, and this will marry Cui Aiqing, huh...... What auspicious days of the zodiac have not been there recently? ”
"Yes! Yes! Cui Yuanzong pinched his fingers and said impatiently: "Half a month later, August 20, it is appropriate to get married, there are no taboos!" ”
"Okay, then the day when Cui Aiqing officially marries Princess Pingyang is set for August 20. Although the Turks must have sent people, I must not be stingy. As for Cui Aiqing's side......"
Cui Yuanzong said in a big way: "Of course, it is all wrapped up in Weichen's body, isn't it a natural thing to marry a son?" ”
So, the marriage was so happily settled.
Then, after the suburban greeting ceremony was completed, Wu Zetian returned to the palace, and the rest of the ministers went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.
Radami Zhu has his own princess mansion, and Cui Geng just took Mo Xiaoxing back to his home. But...... Regarding Mo Xiaoxing's identity, how should I explain it to Lu Ruolan?
Concubine?
Maid?
Spy?
Cui Geng hesitated.
However, he soon stopped worrying about it. Because outside the door of his mansion, an unusually nasty smiling face appeared.
And the owner of this smiling face is Zheng Su.
This despicable villain clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said in a weird manner: "Cui's writings are okay? Today, I want to give you a few gifts! ”
