Chapter 583: Thousands of Miles to Fight for Merit

"Wonderful!"

As soon as Di Renjie's words came out, these two words sounded in the hearts of the ministers.

Why did Wu Zetian make Hu Chao the prime minister? It's not because his elixir is good, after all, no matter how good a doctor is, he can only be a doctor, and he can't be the prime minister. The point is, why was this person able to practice such a good elixir? Wu Zetian thinks that Hu Chao has Taoism and mana.

Now in the imperial court, the best at dealing with this kind of pretending to be a ghost is not Di Renjie, not Wu Sansi, but Cui Geng, the visiting envoy of Jiannan Dao! As long as he is transferred back, the true face of this Hu Chao will be exposed!

What a monk, claiming to be surnamed Hu Mingchao, doesn't even have a law name, and more than nine out of ten may be swaggering and cheating!

Also, the most important thing is that Your Majesty is not stupid, and now he is on the rise, so he has to let Hu Chao be the prime minister. Cui Geng is now far away in Jiannan Road, and the holy decree issued to transfer him back to Beijing, and Cui Geng received the order and returned. After going back and forth like this for nearly a month, perhaps Her Majesty the Empress herself changed her mind.

Thinking of this, the ministers knelt on the ground and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Zhang Changzong didn't kneel down, snorted coldly, and said, "Cui Geng admits it, you admit it." Your Majesty admits it, but you don't. Could it be that Cui Geng's words are better than His Majesty's words? ”

Di Renjie sneered: "Zhang Changshou said this, do you want to say that so many of us want to rebel against Cui Geng?" ”

Zhang Changzong did have this idea, but when he was questioned by Di Renjie, he suddenly changed his mind. After all, Cui Geng's qualifications are too low, and he doesn't have much military power, saying that he is the leader, Wu Zetian doesn't believe it. As for saying that Li Xian is the leader, assisted by Cui Geng? No kidding, Wu Sansi is still kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Changzong rolled his eyes and said, "This official doesn't mean this, I want to say that you believe Cui Erlang wrong, and he has no loyalty to His Majesty." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"This official just got the news that when Cui Geng was investigating the case in Jiannan Road, he did not hesitate to destroy the statue of the Pure Light Heavenly Maiden in Huangze Temple! In other words, he destroyed the statue of His Majesty! But who would do that to a courtier who has even a little faithfulness? Who would dare to do that?

"Is that true?"

"It's true. Presumably, it won't be long before the imperial court will see Cui Geng's excerpt of pleading. However, no matter what the case is, destroying the safety of His Majesty's statue is his heart can be punished! ”

“……”

This time, with Di Renjie's quick wit, he didn't know how to help Cui Geng speak.

That's right, Cui Geng's destruction of the statue must have a hard time. However, if there is any more suffering, destroying the idol is already exceeding the duty of a courtier. As soon as Cui Geng's loyalty was doubted, the judgment he made was naturally meaningless.

What to do?

Do you really want to agree to the appointment of Hu Chao?

Dengden~~

Just when Di Renjie was in a dilemma, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and a little eunuch ran into the hall with a volume of documents in his arms.

He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Jiannan Dao's visit to Cui Geng, there is a twist!" ”

Cui Geng went to Jiannan Road, mainly to visit the mysterious force that had collected weapons and armor on a large scale. Wu Zetian was extremely concerned about this matter, and once passed down the will, but whenever Cui Geng had a twist, whenever he arrived, he would immediately submit it.

Now the little eunuch sent it to the fold, it is not surprising. However, when everyone was talking about Cui Geng, his twists and turns arrived, and there was really a feeling of "saying Cao Cao Cao arrived". Some people even thought in their hearts: "Can this Cui Erlang really be able to "predict the prophet"?

Wu Zetian also felt that it was too much of a coincidence, and after she watched this recital, this feeling did not decrease but increased.

She smiled bitterly and said, "After reading this recital, I want to make Cui Erlang the prime minister." ”

Di Renjie's face was solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty, please be cautious, Cui Cha is a minister of the imperial court, and he will not take the road of luck." ”

"Where, Elder Di Guolao misunderstood what I meant. I want to say...... Forget it, let's see for myself. ”

Wu Zetian signaled slightly, and Gao Lishi handed Cui Geng's recital into Di Renjie's hands.

Before, Wu Zetian was on the throne, and the ministers couldn't see it clearly. It was only now that they noticed that Cui Geng's recital was not an ordinary recital, but consisted of ten picture scrolls.

The more Di Renjie looked at it, the more strange his face became, and finally sighed lightly and said, "It's interesting, it's really interesting." Even though His Majesty does not appoint Cui Geng as the prime minister, this Jiannan Province dethroned envoy should be given to him, right? ”

"Well, Cui Geng has made such a great achievement, and he deserves to be rewarded for this."

Zhang Changzong objected: "Your Majesty, please think twice, although the rank of the Jiannan Provincial Envoy is also the fourth grade, he can arbitrarily appoint and dismiss the officials of the fifth rank and below of the Jiannan Province, and his power is much stronger than that of the Jiannan Provincial Visiting Envoy." Cui Geng's damage to the statue of the Pure Light Heavenly Maiden has not been investigated, how can he be promoted to an official? ”

Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, Cui Geng is not only not guilty of damaging the Pure Light Heavenly Statue, but has meritorious. Liulang, you can understand by looking at Cui Geng's twists and turns. ”

Later, Cui Geng's recital was circulated in the circle of important ministers of the imperial court. Suddenly, those important ministers had no objection to Cui Geng's position as the "envoy of Jiannan Province".

Without it, the contribution of Cui and this time is too great.

Cui Geng's recital to Wu Zetian is actually the ten paintings that Wu Daozi painted for him, and an explanatory text was added to it.

These paintings are naturally painted by Cui Geng's visit to Huangze Temple and the discovery of those armor weapons.

Wu Daozi's painting skills are superb, and the expressions of Cui Geng, Yao Shou and others are vividly painted. Cui Geng dug out the eyes of the Buddha statue of the Pure Light Heavenly Maiden, and even made a special painting.

It is said that this is likely to cause Wu Zetian Longyan to be angry.

But, alas, Cui Geng explained it well.

In his account, he had a very ideological struggle over whether to gouge out the eyes of the statue of Guangtian and touch the mechanism.

However, I finally decided to dig it.

It was not because of the desire to make meritorious contributions, but because of a very serious possibility: although the monk said that the method of opening the secret room was recorded in the Buddhist scriptures by the original monk. However, there is no money in the Buddhist scriptures, how do you know that it is not left by others?

Half a year ago, the monks of Huangze Temple announced a retreat, and two months later, it was discovered that the monks of Huangze Temple were dead.

What if the person who recorded this method was not the original monk of Huangze Temple, but the person who killed the monk of Huangze Temple, who left it for some reason?

The eyes of the Pure Light Statue were manipulated and tampered with, probably four months ago. It is very consistent with the onset of His Majesty's eye disease.

Is there such a possibility that the Buddha statue was passive in its hands and feet, and the celestial and human induction caused His Majesty's eye disease to attack?

Is it possible that by moving the eyes of this Buddha statue, His Majesty's eye disease will be cured?

Thinking of this, Cui Geng immediately moved the eyes of the Buddha statue and found the secret room.

In the end, Cui Geng wrote in the memo: "If the recital is delivered, Your Majesty's eyes are still not healed, and Weichen does not dare to find out the anti-thief's work of hiding armor and weapons, and is willing to accept the crime of destroying the statue of the goddess of pure light." If Your Majesty's eyes are healed, please also read the share of the micro ministers, and appoint me as the deposed envoy of Jiannan Province to clarify the rule of Jiannan Province. ”

Originally, with Cui Geng's qualifications, he was far from being a dethroned envoy.

However, don't forget, there is Wu Zetian who wants to crown Hu Chao as the prime minister. Okay, Hu Chao, a monk, cured your eyes, you can be the prime minister, our officials of the Great Zhou Zheng'er Eight Classics are willing to take risks to cure your eyes, and they can't even get a "Jiannan Dao dethroned envoy"? That's too much to say, isn't it?

In addition, although Cui Geng's span is a little larger, it is not in line with the rules of the imperial court. However, Di Renjie and other upright people are really embarrassed to refute. Don't forget, just now, they were still anxious about Hu Chao's affairs, and now as soon as Cui Geng's recital arrives, the clouds of the day are full of disperse. His Majesty's eyes were cured by Cui Geng, what qualifications do you Hu Chao have to compete for the coveted position?

A righteous gentleman is also a human being, he just received such a big benefit from Cui Geng, so he can't turn his face and deny people right away, right?

All in all, Cui Geng, the new post of the deposed envoy of Jiannan Province, can be regarded as passing without any danger.

Immediately after, no one cared about Hu Chao's fate anymore, and began to discuss Shi Yao Shoulai, the governor of Yizhou.

Why is he so coincidental that he doesn't stay in Chengdu and appears in Lizhou Huangze Temple? Is there any collusion with those thieves? Is it one of the thieves who almost blinded His Majesty?

Your Majesty's safety is at stake, and no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Finally, after the deliberation of the ministers, Wu Zetian passed the decree, and Cui Geng, the envoy of Jiannan Province, arrested Yao Shou on the spot and interrogated him strictly.

Zhang Changzong immediately thought of a very serious question, and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as this Yao Shou leaves his post, won't Jiannan Dao respect Cui Geng, the dethroned envoy of Jiannan Dao?" ”

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "It's okay, since Cui Aiqing and He have made such a great contribution, they deserve to be rewarded here." When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Tang Taizu Li Yuan once intended to become the king of Shu. Because although Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a situation of trapped dragons, and it is difficult to become a climate. If Cui Geng has a different heart, I can destroy it with my backhand. What are you afraid of? ”

Even Cui Geng was not afraid of rebellion, showing that Wu Zetian had made up his mind, and Zhang Changzong could only retreat.

However, he endured it, and there was one person who couldn't bear it.

His person is Hu Chao!

He gritted his teeth at this time, and said silently: Your Majesty's eye disease was indeed cured by me. Cui Geng, Cui Geng, we have no grudges in the past, and no hatred in the near future, why are you greedy for my work?

You wait, it's not over!

My surname Hu will not only cure eye diseases, one day, I will regain the trust of the emperor and take revenge!
