Half a month later, Jingzhao Yin Yamen, the flower hall of the back house.

As soon as Gao Qiao entered the flower hall, he bowed his head and said: "If it weren't for the affairs of the lower officials, Cui Xiang would not have been so wronged." Cui Xiang, I'm really sorry, please accept someone's worship! โ€

Cui Geng held his hand weakly and said, "Gao Langzhong, please get up." There's nothing hidden about this, and you can't blame it. Besides, the official is on the table to buy your house, and a fair trade is not very noble. โ€

"Cui Xiang said this, it really made Gao someone embarrassed." Gao Qiao got up and said, "In order to thank Cui Xiang, I am willing to sell this house to you." โ€

"Huh?" Cui Geng was taken aback and said, "Didn't you say that you must be reinstated before you are willing to sell that house to this official?" โ€

Gao Qiao smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, I didn't know how thick the sky was. Now it seems that my father's seizure of the title is not as simple as it seems, and I think that restoring Xu Guogong's position is tantamount to a fool's dream. In that case......"

"How?"

"My house occupies too much land to protect it as a Simenlangzhong. Fortunately, it was the powerless and powerless county lord of Changning, and it was Cui Xiang who spoke, if it was replaced by someone like Zhang Changzong, I am afraid that I would have died a long time ago and had no place to be buried, so how could I have the opportunity to put forward any conditions? โ€

Of course, it would be best if this matter could be resolved, Cui Geng was overjoyed and said, "The official's business has not been done." You can't ask for your house for nothing. Well, I'll give you two million dollars, how about buying this house? โ€

"Of course not, if it is spread out, won't the lower officials become greedy for money?"

Cui Geng frowned and said, "If the tall man asks for an official, I can only guarantee more than five grades." However, the specific functions may not have much authority. โ€

In these years, most of them were recommended to win officials, and Cui Geng, as the prime minister of the dynasty, recommended Gao Qiao to be promoted to official office is completely legitimate official business. It's just that he doesn't know much about Gao Qiao's talent and temperament, so he is only willing to give a fifth-grade official who has no real power.

Gao Qiao said dissatisfiedly: "Cui Xiang, where do you want to go?" No matter how poor the lower officials are, they are also the descendants of Xu Guogong Gao Shilian. You are making a sky-high price again, and you are making a wish to be an official, are you underestimating me? โ€

"And what do you mean?"

"As long as the lower official has 10,000 yuan, he can sell this house to Cui Xiang. However, there are several prerequisites for Cui Xiang to agree. โ€

"Gao Langzhong, please speak."

"First, for the sake of this house, I hired a lot of domestic slaves to maintain it. If I had moved, I wouldn't have needed so many people. He also asked Cui Xiang to retain them and not to dismiss them for at least three years. โ€

"No problem, this official promised you, second."

"Second, you have to admit that I gave you the house, not the county lord of Changning. Cui Xiang is not only a pillar of the country, but also wronged for my business, and I am willing to give this house. But what is the county lord of Changning, and why does she covet my house? โ€

Cui Geng said: "Regarding this, the official can also agree, is there anything else?" โ€

"One more, and most importantly, selling an ancestral house is really shameless. So, please help me cover up. โ€

"How do you cover it up?"

"This ......" Gao Qiao was a little embarrassed, and said, "Cui Xiang has another house in Chang'an, right?" โ€

"I bought a house, and now it's being demolished and rebuilt. Therefore, my family temporarily lived in Jingzhao Yamen. โ€

"When will it be fixed?"

"Another month."

Gao Qiao slapped his thigh and said happily: "That's right!" Doesn't Cui Xiang want me to be a house? You don't spend money to buy it, let's change it. I'll take my family's ancestral home and exchange it for your new one. Xia Guan's grandfather is Xu Guogong, who is the same as the third product of the Zhongshu Sect; You are the Marquis of Wurong County, and you are the same as Luantai Pavilion; The status is about the same. If you change the house, no one will be ashamed. โ€

Cui Geng pondered carefully, there was really nothing wrong with Gao Qiao's words, the only thing that was not very reasonable was that his new house cost a total of nearly 300,000 yuan, and he suffered a little from such a change.

However, this is much cheaper than the original cost of 2 million, right?

He nodded and said, "According to what Gao Lang said, the house will be exchanged for the house." โ€

"Okay, Cui Xiang is really happy. But what...... The lower official still has an unclear request. โ€

"What else is going on with you?"

"On the day of the house change, I also asked Cui Xiang to invite all the people who could be invited from Chang'an to congratulate you on your housewarming. By the way, you have preached the three chapters of our covenant. In that case, the lower officials will also have an explanation to the ancestors. โ€

Although Cui Geng felt that this Gao Qiao was too face-loving, after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, this official is also up to you." โ€

Recently, in Chang'an City, there are two news that are the most exciting.

The first news is that Cui Geng invited the leading figures of the city to participate in order to celebrate the housewarming. This is really a bit arrogant, isn't it just moving, and it's not getting married, why do you Cui Geng have such a big face, and invite so many nobles to congratulate you?

However, having said that, now that Erzhang is carrying out the final madness, Cui Geng seems to be a banner of the anti-Zhang forces, and no one really refutes his face. The family accepted the invitation and said that they would go to the banquet on time.

The second news is that Zhang Changzong came out of nowhere with a fellow sect named Zhang Tongxiu. This person ascended to the sky in one step and was appointed by Wu Zetian as a spring official waiter.

From a white body to a four-grade member, this is really a step to the sky, people are envious and jealous, and they sigh incomparably, there are really people in the court who are good officials.

Time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it is a month later.

Cui Geng's new house...... Well, it's not too lively. Without it, this house is really too big, even far beyond Cui Geng's expectations.

It wasn't until a few days ago that he found out that Gao Qiao exchanged a house worth 300,000 yuan with him, although it was not a loss, but it was definitely not a advantage.

This house covers an area of hundreds of acres, which is almost enough to build a small city. There's even a racetrack and a small lake.

A small wooden island is erected in the lake, covering an area of 15 acres, surrounded by flowing water, covered by lotus flowers, and the moonlight is like water, it is really an excellent place to enjoy the scenery.

There is no doubt that Cui Geng's housewarming banquet is set on this wooden island

All the guests arrived as scheduled, such as the crown prince Li Xian, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong, Taiping Princess Li Lingyue, Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia, Cui Xuan, Zong Chuke, and even Yuan Shuji, Huan Yanfan, Yao Yuanchong, Song and other important ministers of the imperial court...... It's all coming. Now the envoys of the Tubo, Turkic, Fusang and other states who are staying in Chang'an have also arrived.

Even the old liar Wei Shifang was present at the scene.

He smiled and pulled Cui Geng to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Erlang, what is the origin of that Zhang Tongxiu?" It's so fast. Do you know his details? โ€

Zhang Tongxiu's true identity is a secret, Shangguan Wan'er found out with great difficulty, and outsiders really don't know.

"That's going on......" Cui Geng simply introduced the matter of the rat meeting and Zhang Tongxiu.

"Rats will ...... Rats will ......," Wei Shifang muttered continuously.

In the end, he said firmly: "It's almost this person, you can help me cover it up later, and the old man will observe him carefully." If I'm sure he's that guy, I'll kill him today. โ€

Cui Gengdao: "What kind of person? In addition to being the president of the Rat Society, who else could Zhang Tongxiu be? โ€

"You've heard the name, he's ......"

As soon as Wei Shifang's words were said this, suddenly, a clear voice sounded in the distance

"Chunguan Shilang Zhang Tongxiu, Yulin General Ye Huli, Silla Envoy Jin Daming has arrived!"

"General Yubayashi Honotoshi?" Cui Geng felt that this name was extremely unfamiliar.

Wei Shifang explained: "You have been busy preparing for the housewarming banquet these days, and you have not paid much attention to the government and politics. This Huye Li is a person, Li Duozuo's son-in-law. He ostensibly took refuge in Zhang Changzong and was entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty. Secretly, he is loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry about him, he is his own person. โ€

"Pledge allegiance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Person? Li Duozuo's son-in-law? โ€

Cui Geng's mind was racing, and he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, and said thoughtfully: "I seem to know that the key to that matter is ......"
