Cui Xiufang said: "Do you remember when we arrested Li Hongtai, he taught me the art of fake death?" ”

Cui Gengdao: "How can you not remember?" At the beginning, in order to find evidence of Zhang Changzong's rebellion, with the help of the old liar Wei Shifang, you and the wall dragon Chai Yunrui joined forces to arrest Li Hongtai. Later, you promised to help him find and kill Li Rat, and he taught you the art of fake death. This kind of fake death technique is really useful, I think Wei Shifang relied on this to escape the pursuit of Lijingmen. It seems like...... It seems that this technique of feigning death is relying on some kind of elixir......"

"That's it."

Cui Xiufang took out a small bottle from her sleeve pocket, opened the vial, and poured out a blue pill, exuding bursts of fragrance.

Cui Gengdao: "Are you asking me to eat this, and then fake my death to escape?" ”

"Yes. Tomorrow, Princess Taiping said to Zheng, you have committed suicide by hanging yourself. Shall we just carry your coffin away, and we will be able to escape? ”

"No!"

Shangguan Wan'er objected: "Whether it was hanged or not, you can know it by checking it casually, this will definitely not deceive people." ”

"Then it is said that Erlang drank poisoned wine and was poisoned?"

"The same can be checked."

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. So what to do? Now, Cui Xiufang is also panicking.

Cui Geng was inspired and said: "If you insist on making up a reason for death, I have a ready-made one, and Li Longji is convinced when he hears it." ”

"What reason?"

"Let's just say that I suddenly had a stomachache, wailed for half an hour, and died."

"This ...... For such a ridiculous reason, how could Li Longji believe it? ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "How can you not believe it?" Because...... This poison was originally inflicted by him. ”

At the beginning, Li Longji was forced by Gao Lishi to be anxious, and decided to take a risk, let the national teacher Shi Guangming poison Li Xian, and launch a coup d'état immediately after Li Xian's death.

Shi Guangming was afraid of death, and secretly listened to the divine dog, contacted Jin Qiaojue, and then took refuge in Cui Geng.

Cui Geng decided to make a plan, replaced the poison pill, and arrested Li Longji when he launched a coup d'état.

As a result, people are not as good as heaven, Li Xianlin had a stroke before taking the poison pill, Empress Wei imprisoned Cui Geng, and Cui Geng's previous plan seemed completely useless.

But now, this abandoned strategy has a place to use.

Li Longji saw Cui Geng eat the poison pill, but he didn't know that the poison pill had already been released by Shi Guang.

Therefore, in his thoughts, Cui Geng should definitely die within seven days.

And tonight, it's the seventh day.

It was not Li Longji but Li Dan who wanted to exchange Shangguan Wan'er for Cui Geng. Li Longji himself, he couldn't rush to Li Dan and say that he was going to poison the first emperor and Cui Geng before, and he had already poisoned Cui Geng, right?

Of course, Cui Geng's threat is too great, and Li Longji is always a little uneasy if he doesn't see Cui Geng's dead body with his own eyes.

So, it didn't stop it.

This gave Cui Geng an opportunity.

……

……

Thundered~~

On the second day, the middle door of Princess Taiping's mansion was opened.

Princess Taiping took this Shangguan Wan'er and dozens of guards to the army besieging the mansion.

After a few words of negotiation, a soldier flew to report the person in charge here.

With little effort, Zheng and Li Longji, surrounded by a team of armor soldiers, came to Princess Taiping.

Li Longji bowed slightly and said, "My aunt has always been good, and my little nephew Longji is polite." ”

Princess Taiping snorted coldly and said, "You are going to kill the lover of this palace, can I be fine?" ”

"Auntie, you have wronged me. It wasn't my idea. Nor is it my father's idea, it's all ...... Yes, it was Prime Minister Zheng who insisted on it. He said that Cui Geng married Princess Anle, who was the remnants of Empress Wei, and he could not be killed. To put it bluntly, even my father is not good at extrajudicial mercy. ”

Zheng Xin said, indeed, I want to kill Cui Geng. But when do I try to keep going? Isn't it all your father's idea to kill Cui Geng? Okay, your father and son don't want to do this dirty work, so let me carry the black cauldron, it's really yin!

However, although he did think so, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, it is indeed the official's idea, and the princess will blame the official." ”

Princess Taiping waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay! Mo Huahua deceived this palace, whose idea it was, you know it in your own hearts. Without further ado, let me tell you, it is not difficult for this palace to hand over Cui Geng, you have to promise me a few conditions. ”

"Auntie, you said that as long as the little nephew and even the father can agree, there is no reason to object!"

"First, Cui Geng was not only innocent but meritorious, but he was only implicated by Empress Wei that he ended up like this. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the rites of the Duke of Chu and have a grand funeral. ”

"It deserves to be."

"Second, the dignity of the Duke of Chu is still wanted, you can check his body, but you can't damage it."

"Uh...... Regarding this, the little nephew can also agree. ”

"Third, after confirming that Cui Geng is dead, you must immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses besieging this mansion."

"That's certainly the right thing to do." Li Longji asked: "The three conditions Xiao Wang has already agreed, I don't know if the princess will hand him over to the little nephew, or will you do it yourself?" ”

Princess Taiping had tears in her eyes and said, "No need, just last night, the Duke of Chu was already ...... Died of a violent illness. ”

"Huh? He's dead? But died of abdominal pain? ”

"How do you know?" Princess Taiping's tone was sharp, and she said, "Could it be that Erlang didn't die of a violent illness, but was killed by you?" ”

Li Longji hurriedly smiled and said, "Then how can it? I'm just guessing...... Just guess. That's right...... Now you can let the little nephew's person perform an autopsy, right? ”

"Go ahead! Go ahead! ”

The poison pill that Li Longji used to harm Li Xian is, of course, a high-end product, and it looks similar to the one who died of a violent illness, Cui Geng just needs to fake his death.

Under the preconceived psychology, Li Longji ordered someone to conduct a hasty examination, and confirmed that Cui Geng was dead.

He immediately kept his promise and withdrew the soldiers and horses besieging Princess Taiping's mansion.

Slap in the face and give a sweet date.

Later, under Li Dan's will, Princess Taiping's actual seal was added to 10,000 households, and her sons Xue Chongmin, Xue Chongjian, and even Xue Chongxing were all crowned kings.

There are only more than 8 million households in the country. Princess Taiping's private income tax is equivalent to 1/800% of the national treasury. You must know that Wu Zetian killed Xue Shao at the beginning, and in order to compensate Princess Taiping, she raised her Shishiyi from 350 households to 1,200 households.

Li Dan's move can be described as a great honor for Princess Taiping.

……

……

At night, inside the Dade Temple in Chang'an.

Although the name of this temple is Dade, the temple is not big, in the hundreds of large and small temples in Chang'an, it is very inconspicuous.

Cui Geng's family members, as well as several henchmen, are hiding here.

It turned out that Cui Geng, in order to deal with the national teacher Shi Guangming, invited the monk Jianzhen to Chang'an. However, Shi Guangming took the initiative to surrender and make a false alarm, and the monk Jianzhen was naturally useless.

However, just before Jianzhen returned to Yangzhou, this coup d'état took place.

Although the Freemasons, the North Gate Society, and the Secret Hall have many secret nests in Chang'an, for absolute safety, I still asked Jianzhen to bring Cui Geng's family and confidants to settle here.

This is a temple opened by several Fusang monks, they are all pure monks, with the mission of promoting Buddhism, and have been inviting Jianzhen to go east to Fuso to preach the Dharma.

Who would have thought that Cui Geng has always been in the same boat as the people of Fusang, but his family and cronies are settled here?

Therefore, although Li Longji is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the family members of the whole city still have nothing.

Of course, Feng Changqing, Song Genhai and others are still in Weizhou, helping Cui Geng control the army. Now Cui Geng's side only has the strategist Wu Zhi, the fierce general Zang Xilie, the vice president of the North Gate Association Qian Shunlai, the deputy hall master of the secret hall Song Xue'er, and the vice president of the Freemason Association Meng Xiaofu.

Cui Geng looked around and said, "Regarding the current situation, the official doesn't say anything, everyone knows it." Let's discuss where we should go from here. ”

At the beginning, in the Huangze Temple of Jiannan Road, it was the current vice president of the North Gate Association who relieved Cui Geng and pitted Yao Shou.

He touched his bald head and said nonchalantly: "The brothers of the subordinate generation of the North Gate Association make a statement, since we joined the association, what we have been doing is to make a living of rebellion. What kind of emperor is old, and he is not in everyone's eyes, what you say, what will the president, everyone do! ”

Meng Xiaofu said: "Our Freemasons first followed Grandpa Xu to rebel against Wu Zetian, and then received the great favor of the president and Emperor Daxing. All in all, if you go down in a word, the lives of these thousands of Freemasons will be handed over to you! ”

Song Xue'er bowed slightly and said, "Although the concubine body can't completely control the secret hall. But in a short period of time, 500 good players will be on standby, and 10 million yuan will be fine, and there will be no problem. ”

"Good!"

Cui Geng suddenly shot several cases at the same time, and said: "It seems that everyone has made up their minds to do this with this official." That's right, Li Dan's father and son want to kill me, how can I sit and wait to be killed? ”

Wu knew: "Now there is only one question left: are we launching it in Chang'an City?" Or wait for the wind to subside, sneak out of Weizhou, and find the prince Li Chongfu? ”
