The biggest beneficiary of Li Zhaode's rebellion case is actually not Lai Junchen, but the one in front of Cui Geng, a generation of famous ministers Lou Shide.

Old man Lou's eyes flashed, and he said, "According to his physical appearance, it is not strange to guess the identity of the old man. But now I'm just a common man, called Xiangye...... Not quite right, right? ”

Cui Gengfu smiled: "That's not a matter of time or time, don't be modest when you're old."

This is not flattery, but an unmistakable fact.

Just last year, Li Zhaode saw that Lou Shide was very unpleasant, and kicked him to the southwest and asked him to help Wang Xiaojie fight Tibet. As a result, the combination of fame and famous generals turned out to be a defeated battle, and Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide were both removed from all official positions.

Later, Wang Xiaojie made meritorious service for his crimes, was defeated outside Zhaozhou City, and the official was reinstated, while Lou Shide has never been found.

This time, after Wu Zetian served the prime ministers, he looked around, and this old man was the most reassuring, so he recalled him to Luoyang, preparing to appoint him as the internal history order (Zhongshu order) to lead the entire new prime minister team. Although the decree has not yet been issued, the news has already spread.

Counting the days, he should have just arrived in Luoyang, and he caught up with this thing.

Cui Geng gave a thumbs up and said, "It's no exaggeration to say that anyone can make His Majesty change his mind, but you are the only one!" ”

Lou Shide didn't eat this, shook his head and said: "Don't put a high hat on the old man, let's say that I am not in his position and do not seek politics." Even if the old man really became a Chinese scholar, he couldn't control this matter! ”

Of course, Cui Geng understands that it is not much less difficult to let Lou Shide, a good old man in politics, wade into this muddy water.

He thought for a while, changed the topic, and said, "Xia Guan has heard a few stories about Lou Xiangye, I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to ask you for advice!" ”

"Cui's book, please speak."

"The first thing is that when Brother Ling was appointed as the Assassin of Daizhou, you asked him: "I am the prime minister, and you are also the state pastor, our Lou family is too honorable, I am afraid that people will be jealous, how should we protect the family?" Brother Ling said: "In the future, if someone spits on my face, I won't return it, just wipe the saliva away, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry." You say, "That's what worries me the most." People spit in your face and are angry at you. You wiped your saliva, doesn't that mean you're dissatisfied? It will make people even angrier. So, you should accept with a smile and let the saliva not wipe itself dry. ”

This is the allusion of "spitting on one's own face", which has been widely spread, and Lou Shide is not angry, and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." ”

"There is a second story, at that time, you and Li Zhaode were both prime ministers, and they went to court together, because they walked slowly, they were scolded by him as "Tian Shenu", but you replied, I Lou Shide is not Tian Shenu, who is Tian Shenu? As a result, Li Zhaode was very ashamed and apologized to you in person. ”

This is Lou Shide's pride, he twisted his gray beard in his hand, and said: "There is also this matter, I didn't expect Cui Shu to know the old man's past very well, haha!" ”

Unexpectedly, the corners of Cui Geng's mouth curled slightly, and he replied lightly: "Actually, the first thing is just that, through the second thing, the lower officials don't admire you very much." ”

"Huh?"

Lou Shide suddenly smiled and said, "I want to ask Erlang, what's wrong with what the old man did?" ”

Cui Geng said slowly: "It's not that there is anything wrong, but this matter can show that Li Zhaode has no respect for you." ”

"So what?"

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "This matter alone can't explain anything, and I heard the kid say the third thing......"

The third incident is also very famous, which is a public case between Lou Shide and Di Renjie.

Thinking that at the beginning, Di Renjie was the prime minister at the beginning, looked around and left, looked at Lou Shide very much, and kicked him to Tuntian in the northwest.

Wu Zetian asked Di Renjie and said, "Is Master Lou virtuous?" ”

Di Renjie said disdainfully: "Anyway, he can do his job in Tuntian loyally, whether he is virtuous or not, I don't care." ”

The vulgar translation of this is that he is not virtuous, and it is my business!

Wu Zetian was almost not angry, and said: "Then I will ask you again, can Lou Shide know people well?" ”

As a result, Di Renjie replied even more politely, and said: "I have worked with Lou Shide for so long, I have never heard of him having the ability to recognize people?" ”

Wu Zetian saw the dagger at this time, took out a piece of music, and said, "But...... I appointed you as the prime minister, which was recommended by Lou Shide. So do you think he knows people well? ”

Di Renjie took the recital and looked at it, and said ashamedly: "Lou Gong Shengde, I was treated by him but didn't know it, I was really far from others!" ”

Di Renjie is famous all over the world, how many people can make him ashamed?

This incident can be said to be the most proud thing in Lou Shide's life, and he really smiled after listening to it. But...... Cui Geng said that he wanted to use this incident to accuse himself, what did he mean? Does he want to praise openly and secretly, and want to promote and suppress first?

Cui Geng unceremoniously met Lou Shide's inquiring gaze and said, "Now the question is, what does Lou Xiang think of Li Zhaode?" ”

"Although this person is stubborn and self-serving, he still has talents, enough to take on the role of prime minister!"

"That means he has a knack for knowing people?"

"Of course."

Cui Geng said with a smile: "Then why did Li Zhaode let you go out and serve as the deputy head of the Subian Road march?" ”

"You ......"

Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings, no matter how good Lou Shide's temper is, that's when he is the prime minister, and his face is suddenly full of gloom.

As a result, Cui Geng not only did not restrain himself at all, but instead said inch by inch: "Li Zhaode is enough, what about Di Renjie Di Gong?" He's completely illiterate? Why did he ask you to be the ambassador of the school camp in the first place? It is understandable for one person to be wrong, could it be that both of them are wrong? In addition......"

"What?"

"Di Gong and Li Zhaode let you go out, and you went out? How can it be done without His Majesty's will? So, I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't think very much of you! Therefore......"

Cui Geng stared at Lou Shide's eyes without fear, and said with a straight face: "Xia Guan thinks that they are right, and it is you who are really wrong!" You are more than sleek but not strong enough, and you are not worthy of the position of prime minister! ”

That's a cruel statement!

Don't look at Cui Geng as a five-grade official, Lou Shide is the prime minister of the dynasty, but in terms of the right to speak, the name of "Cui Feijiang" is much stronger than "Lou Xiangye". These few words spread and did great damage to Lou Shide's reputation!

And the most important thing, Lou Shide is sixty-seven today, maybe he will have to travel west one day. As for Cui Geng, let's not talk about his possible achievements in the future, just now, his job is to write a book.

The greatest authority of the writer Lang was to write a biography of a dead court official in office, and this biography will be the most important reference in history books in the future. In other words, it's a coincidence, Cui Geng can give Old Man Lou a final conclusion!

How else to say that Yu Shitai and the secretary of the province are noble, one can toss the living, the other can toss the dead, and Nima is not responsible!

Lou Shide gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Cui Shushu is threatening the old man? ”

"Not a threat, but an irrefutable fact! Otherwise, ask yourself, if Di Gong was in your place, what would he do with today's affairs? Even if you are far away from Di, what about Li Zhaode? ”

"Cui Erlang, you are really too deceitful...... Hahaha! ”

Lou Shide was furious at first, and then immediately changed his face and laughed, and said: "Thirty old lady is a child, the old man almost fell for your evil!" Cui Shu, you want to provoke the old man, it's useless. ”

Cui Gengyi pulled Wang Meifang's sleeve, knelt on the ground, and said, "This official is not to provoke the general, but for the sake of the old minister." People are of the same mind. With the same reasoning, if the lower officials can think so, others may not think so, don't you want to do one thing to correct the world's opinion? ”

"This ......" Lou Shide suddenly hesitated.

Don't forget, this is on a crowded street, and the conversation between Cui Geng and Lou Shide has long been heard by the people around him.

As soon as Cui Geng knelt down, the people immediately knelt down and said, "Please also ask Xiangye Lou to be gracious and save these children!" ”

"You ...... You're just going to roast the old man on the fire! Lou Shide stomped his foot violently and said, "Okay, the old man will be this early bird and persuade His Majesty to take back his life." ”

Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief. His remarks just now were not his own thoughts, but were based on a later paper on Lou Shide. Whether Lou Shide can make himself think that he is reasonable, it is really hard to say.

His happiness didn't last long, and he only heard Lou Shide say: "Gathering crowds to petition for this kind of thing, you Cui Erlang can do it, but the old man can't do it." However, the old man went to persuade His Majesty alone, and he was a little weak, so he ...... I wonder if Erlang dares to go with the old man? ”

Cui Geng could only slap his swollen face at the fat man at this time, and said, "Why don't you dare?" ”

"Okay, have guts!" Lou Shide slapped his thigh, grabbed Cui Geng's arm tightly, and said, "Cui Shushu, please!" ”

"Lou Xiang, please!"

While walking, Cui Geng secretly thought, Damn, old man Guanglou and I, can we do it? Once you anger the moody empress, the consequences are really ...... Disastrous!
