''Ordered the right to control the crane supervisor Zheng Cui Geng, for the Jiannan Province imitation envoy, Qin this!''

Old Lady Wu Zetian engaged in a very big battle, but the final holy decree was extremely concise and to the point, and she didn't even mention the grade of this Jiannan Dao visiting envoy at all.

Cui Geng was confused in his heart, and simply said bluntly; ''I don't know what the rank of this Jiannan Provincial Visiting Envoy is?'' Please also ask Your Majesty to solve the doubts for Weichen. ’’

Wu Zetian chuckled lightly and said, "Cui Aiqing, don't care too much about the grade." At your age, you can live in the fourth grade, which is already quite outstanding. ’

The implication is that this official position is also a fourth grade, although he has been prepared in his heart, Cui Geng was still disappointed for a while, and continued to ask: "I don't know what the specific task of this Jiannan Dao visiting envoy is?"

Cui Aiqing asked, that's right. The four-rank officials can barely do things for the same level, and they are extremely popular ministers; It can also be an assassin for a state, and it is completely enough to shepherd one side. The most important thing is the specific task. Wu Zetian bowed slightly, and said: "You, the visiting envoy of Jiannan Dao, have an ostensible task of investigating the traces of the traitor Qiu Fengyun in Jiannan Dao. ”

Cui Geng asked, "What about actually?" ”

Wu Zetian's tone turned cold, and said: "I have received a secret report, there are forces in Jiannan Dao, and they are buying a large number of crossbow armor, what they want to do, it is simply obvious!" ”

Cui Geng was suddenly shocked in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty means, is someone rebelling?" That's why he sent Weichen to Jiannan Road to find out? ”

Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "That's not what I intended, at least not just that. This time, thousands of armor weapons were sought. It is said that such a big action should have been known to countless officials and people, and the report should have been reported to me. However, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the wall dragon Chai Yunrui got the news by chance, I would still be in the dark. ‘

After a pause, Her Majesty stood up and continued slowly; If these people are said to have no heart and no heart, and are conspiring against them, I will not believe them. It can only be said that the officialdom of Jiannan Province is rotten, and it must be clarified fiercely. ’’

It turned out that it was Bi Longzi who sued, and Wu Zetian knew that Jiannan Dao was unstable. It seems that this old man is still disconnected from Mrs. Wu, you two old men and old ladies are both of this age, and you have even been in bed, and you are still engaged in this kind of ambiguous tricks, is it interesting?

Cui Geng secretly slandered himself, bargained, and said: "Shi Yaoshou, the governor of Yizhou, has three official residences, a high and powerful position, and has 200,000 elite soldiers. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to ask Weichen to clarify the rule of the officials of Jiannan Province, and seal Weichen as a pacification envoy of Jiannan Province, or the dethronement of Jiannan Province, isn't it more appropriate for this visiting envoy, is it weaker? ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Yes, the authority of the visiting envoy is indeed not heavy, and he only has the right to visit and supervise, but not the right to dispose of it." But only in this way can we not startle the snake. As for this, can this identity compete with Yao Shou? Hehe, this question is difficult for others, is it difficult for you? ”

Wipe!

Obviously, Mrs. Wu deliberately put a high hat on me, just kidding, this is the supreme of Chengxian and Chrysostom. If I dare to chirp crookedly, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said: "Weichen once said that thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, since Your Majesty has made up his mind, Weichen can only do his best to do his errand." However, before leaving, Weichen has something to ask His Majesty, uh...... Have you ever heard the story of three people becoming tigers? ”

The allusions of the three of them becoming tigers and Zeng Zi killing people are similar, but the rumor of "Zeng Zi killing" is replaced by "there are tigers in the market", of course Wu Zetian has heard of it.

Her Majesty the Empress said: "It seems that Cui Aiqing is still not worried about Goro and Rokuro, in fact, you don't have to worry at all." ”

"Why do you want to know that Di Renjie was ...... at the beginning?"

In the next words, Cui Geng didn't dare to say that you Wu Zetian has a criminal record, and his reputation has gone bankrupt, let's be honest, don't fool around?

Wu Zetian was so smart, he instantly understood what he meant: "Di Renjie's example just shows that in front of me, it is completely difficult for three people to become tigers. ”

''Huh? Cui Geng was surprised.

Wu Zetian was slightly dissatisfied, and said, "Ah, what? Cui Aiqing, think about it, almost everyone in the world knew that Di Renjie was probably wronged, didn't I know? However, at that time, Guotai and Min'an were peaceful, so what happened to him who was wronged? Later, the Khitan was powerful, and Di Renjie had to be invited, even if he was still suspicious, I would still use him! ”

Her Majesty the Empress can say these words to her face, which is enough to be called reassuring.

Cui Geng pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty means that Wei Chen, like Di Xiang, is an indispensable person in the imperial court. Belch...... It's not that I'm arrogant, I'm just a little clever, far from indispensable, right? ”

Wu Zetian chuckled and said, "Cui Aiqing thinks too low of herself. You have only one thing, and there is almost no one in the DPRK and China? ”

"What are you capable of?"

"At the beginning, King Luling offered three hoops for Zhou Wannian, you came up with this idea, right? Well, Cui Aiqing, you have a conscience. Everyone else wants their master to win a great victory and slay down their enemies. Only if you want to reconcile the two families, the blood melts into the water. So...... I hope that one day,

Your power is strong enough, big enough to be a peacemaker for the Wu and Li families in a hundred years, so that the two families will never fight each other. ”

The Wu and Li families will never fight each other, and Wu Zetian, a generation of empresses, can't do it, but he expects Cui Geng to do it, isn't this nonsense? I have to say that this old lady Wu is a little sick and rushed to the doctor.

Cui Geng was a little dumbfounded at that time, and said, "Your Majesty, you want to hand it over to Weichen."

It's too important, isn't it? I can't afford my small shoulders. ”

Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "Whether you can afford it or not, you will only know after trying it." This Jiannan Dao Visiting Envoy is the first test I gave you. ”

After a pause, Wu Zetian finally gave Cui Geng a big painting cake: "If this errand is done well, it is not impossible for me to really appoint you as the pacification envoy of Jiannan Dao." ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

……

……

At the same time, in the mansion of Prime Minister Li Dan, Li Danzheng and his number one military advisor, Yao Yuanchong, began an argument against a letter.

This letter was written by Lin Xiu, the master of the secret hall, since the last time he assassinated Wu Zetian in Chengjun Prison and was inexplicably destroyed by Cui Geng and Cui Xiufang, he thought that the reason why he failed was not because of poor calculation, but because Cui Geng was too lucky.

So, he decided to temporarily avoid Cui Geng's edge and leave the country.

This time, he took the initiative to write a letter, which was to brag that he was now developing well in Jiannan Dao, and he had built a force by taking advantage of the darkness of officialdom here. This force is the guarantee for Li Dan to ascend the throne as emperor in the future.

Now there is a matter, and I ask the prince to find a way to complete the list of twenty-four officials, all of whom are loyal to the prince, and ask the prince to let them hold the following positions.

Li Dan said: "Yao Aiqing, the lonely king is an idle prince, of course he can't help Li Gongzi." In the end, I'm afraid this matter will still fall on your head. ”

Yao Yuanchong had a straightforward personality, frowned slightly, and said: "Weichen has now been promoted to the rank of Heavenly Official Squire, and it is said that it is not difficult to promote those people on the list. But ......"

"How?"

Yao Yuanchong smiled bitterly: "On this list, there are a few names on this list that Weichen has a slight impression...... They are all tyrannical people, how can they be put in high positions? ”

Li Dan sighed and said: "There is a way, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no disciples." Don't look at what Li Xiu said in the letter, it is very easy, but it will definitely be difficult to put it into practice. For the sake of the great cause, he made some compromises as a last resort, and if we can be accommodating, let's try to be accommodating. ”

Yao Yuanchong's face was extremely ugly, his eyes widened, and he said with great effort: "Other things can be tolerated, but this one cannot be tolerated." Promote these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, what kind of ruler are there for Weichen and those filthy officials? In the future, the history is full of greens, what is your face, Lord Wang, called a generation of Ming Jun? ”

As he spoke, a few drops of spit were sprayed on Li Dan's face. Whoever sees it, they have to praise it, so that they can be recommended by loyal ministers.

However, Li Dan's next performance was neither angry nor humbly admonished, but slapped his hands twice.

Smack~~ Smack!

He said lazily: "Well said! Mr. Yao said very well, even if this king really has to ascend to the throne in the future, he must not be a generation of Ming monarchs. To be honest, if it weren't for the royal brother's wife, Wei Shi, who was too unspeakable, would have become the second saint sooner or later, and I wouldn't have bothered to fight. Therefore, since Mr. Yao thinks that Xiao Wang is unbearable, he hurriedly thinks of a way to climb another high branch, and Xiao Wang will not blame you. ’”

Thump~~

Yao Yuanchong knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, where did you come from, since Yao has sworn allegiance to you and restored the Tang Dynasty." should swear allegiance to the death, how can there be any reason to give up halfway? Please also ask the prince to stop mentioning this matter again, otherwise Yuan Chong will only die in front of you to show his loyalty. ”

"But the problem is ......" Li Dan smiled bitterly: "The righteous man and gentleman in the world support the imperial brother Li Xian; Treacherous scoundrels, cast two more tickets. We have no name for righteousness, no saints, no money, and if we don't accept those people, where will we collect people? If you don't have the strength, how can you recover Datang? ”

"This ......" Yao Yuanchong is certainly not a nerd, and he understands that Li Dan's words are reasonable, and he is speechless for a while.

Li Dan took the opportunity to say: "Or, Mr. Yao, you will open the net this time?" ”

"Okay." Yao Yuanchong said with difficulty: "Don't take it as an example!" ”

Li Dan comforted: "Mr. Yao, rest assured, there will be no next time." In fact, these people are just seeds, as long as Li Xiu has a firm foothold in Jiannan Dao, their role will be ......."

Dengden~~

As soon as Li Dan's words were said here, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and someone shouted: "Lord Wang, there is urgent information!" Cui Geng was appointed as the visiting envoy of Jiannan Province! ”

Yes?

When Li Dan heard this, he depressedly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and muttered: "It seems that Li Gongzi wants to gain a firm foothold in Jiannan Dao, but it is not easy!" ‘’

Yao Yuanchong hesitated: "That...... Those corrupt officials
