Chapter 413: Leaving is a hidden worry

Marry two wives at the same time? Isn't that the legendary flat wife?

Cui Geng was a little confused at that time.

He clearly remembers, not to mention in the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou) period, even in the later Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, from the emperor to the peddlers and pawns, they all practiced monogamy and multiple concubines.

That is, in the Daoguang period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the saying "flat wife" that "two heads are big" appeared.

Wu Zetian has no memory of future generations, how can he be the first to open a generation?

He was puzzled: "Senior Chai, don't shake me." According to the law of my Great Zhou, "Those who have wives and remarry shall be imprisoned for one year, and the female family shall be reduced by one grade." "Your Majesty can't change the law of the Great Zhou for me, right?"

"Of course, it is impossible to change the "Law of the Great Zhou" for you." Chai Yunrui smiled slightly and said, "However, there is public and private, and there are disadvantages in private, and this law is not completely inflexible." ”

Well?

It is much more reasonable to say this, Cui Geng's eyes lit up, and he said, "What kind of method is it?" ”

Chai Yunrui sold Guan Zi, and the old god said in the tunnel: "Your Majesty has a life, and you can only tell you after you have really made a great contribution." As for now...... Hey, keep it secret! ”

Chai Yunrui resolutely didn't say anything, Cui Geng had no choice but to obediently prepare for this envoy.

Although the decree said to start immediately, it had to delay for a few days. Without it, there is so much to prepare.

First of all, the gift to Mo Du, in other words, the dowry for Radamizhu was three times more than last time.

Officials marry daughters-in-law, and the court gives a dowry, and more than one million yuan is paid, and it is really ridiculous to say it.

However, there is another hidden meaning of these dowries, that is, the military expenses borrowed from the Turks.

Carefully calculated, Mo Du sent 200,000 troops, and an average of five or six yuan for a talent. With this money, he hired a Turkic soldier to prepare his own dry food for Da Zhou, which was really cheap.

Secondly, there is the arrangement of the members of the other diplomatic corps.

Song Genhai, Feng Changqing, Huang Youwei and Zhou Xing are among them, but the two hundred elite horsemen of the Freemasons have all been arranged into the "Prince Left Prison Gate Mansion", and this time they naturally can't go together.

But it doesn't matter, the wall dragon has drawn his right-hand men, and gathered 200 people, which can be regarded as the escort of this trip. People are of the same mind, and he also wants to find a career for his subordinates.

Although the overall combat power of these people is far less than Cui Geng's two hundred elite horsemen, they are all from the rivers and lakes, not only are their personal combat strength not bad, but also there are quite a lot of thieves and thieves. In the course of this mission, it may be able to play an unexpected role.

……

……

Three days later, outside Luoyang City, ten miles long pavilion.

"Cui writings, wait a minute! Wait! ”

Cui Geng and Chai Yunrui's team was moving forward, and suddenly, there was a loud shout from the rear.

Looking back, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties with a white face, riding a fast horse, galloping over, who was the superintendent of the imperial history.

"But let me catch up!"

Wang Zhu turned over and dismounted, and with great difficulty removed two wine jars from his horse.

Good guy, look at that head, each wine jar is sixty or seventy pounds, and it's really hard for this powerless scholar.

Wang Zhu said breathlessly: "Cui Shushu, you are not interesting enough, why didn't you inform me of such a big matter as the envoy to the Turks?" What's wrong? Are you still afraid that my surname Wang will not make it? ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang, where are these words?" To tell you the truth, this time the envoy was that Chai and I went secretly, and no one informed us. ”

After a pause, he added: "This is also what Your Majesty meant." After all, our Great Zhou Dynasty can't suppress the Khitan, so we have to borrow troops from the Turks and spread it, so it's not good to say! ”

"That's right." Wang Zhu sighed and said: "Think about how majestic my Tang Dynasty was during the reign of Taizong Gaozong, pacifying the Turks, passing through the Western Regions, defeating Fusang, destroying Baekje, and slaughtering Goguryeo, how come it is that now, even a small Khitan can't be picked up?" ”

It's not easy to say this, who is to blame? Strange martial arts are heavenly.

If she hadn't cleaned up all the generals in the army who could fight habitually, would Da Zhou have fallen to the point where it is today?

Cui Geng hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Wang Yushi is here to see off someone Cui today?" Thank you, thank you! ”

Puff~~

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Wang Zhu suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said: "To be honest, Wang Mou came today mainly to thank Cui for saving his life." If it weren't for Wu Yizong to excuse me in your face, Wang would have to be exterminated. ”

"Raiding the family and exterminating the clan?"

Cui Geng hurriedly held each other with his hands and persuaded: "If you don't report it, it will be a hanging at most, and Wang Yushi is too serious." ”

Wang Zhu smiled bitterly: "Hanging? Which is that simple? It was Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong who tried Liu Sili's rebellion, how could he handle the case according to the law? To tell the truth to Cui Shushu, the number of people who died because of this case is now thousands of ......"

After listening to Wang Zhu's explanation of the trial process of the case, Cui Geng really had to admit that Wang Zhu was not exaggerating.

Wu Yizong is still quite talented in the way of climbing.

He lied to Liu Sili and said, you want to be the future true dragon emperor, and you don't want to be the emperor, and this king doesn't have to sentence you to death. However, as a condition, you have to climb a few more people to make this king make a great contribution.

This Liu Sili is also spineless, and immediately recruited people who have enmity with him and even know him

In the end, a total of 36 officials above the third grade, including Prime Minister Li Yuanxing, Sun Yuanheng, Tianguan Shilang Shi Baozhong, and Liu Qi, were implicated, and after the verdict was convicted, all these people were exterminated. As for the people implicated in this case, there are thousands of people......

If it weren't for Cui Geng's face, Wang Zhu's family would definitely be exactly the same as the fate of the thirty-six families.

Wang Zhu said: "Thirty-six families, which one is not much stronger than my Wang family?" Just because of Liu Sili's few words, he suffered such a catastrophe! The ancients are like accompanying the tiger, and I am not deceiving! ”

As he spoke, he slapped the mud seal of a jar of wine, and there was a tempting aroma of wine, sighed, and said, "Cui Shushu, you won't call me Wang Yushi in the future." Now that I have been dismissed from all official positions, I am ready to go home to retire and never ask about the court again. Come, let's drink, after drinking this jar of good wine, I will go back to Jiangzhou, you are an envoy to the Turks, and I don't know when we can meet again in this life and this life! ”

The jar of wine he brought is also really good, it is said to be made by the secret method of the Wang family, and it has been hidden for 18 years, and it is extremely mellow.

Wang Zhu drank two bowls in a row, and he was a little drunk, and suddenly slapped his head sharply, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Cui Shushu, you have to be careful of one person." ”

"Who? You mean Ji Ji? This guy is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, this official understands. ”

"It's not him." Wang Zhu glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, "It's Zheng Su's house." I've heard that he's been jumping up and down lately to collect your charges? ”

Who hasn't had pigtails these days? For example, Cui Geng asked Song Genhai to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Great Zhou Royal Newspaper", can that be in order? With the funds of the Writing Bureau to eat and drink with everyone, it is difficult to explain it clearly.

These crimes, while not fatal, are disgusting enough.

Cui Geng frowned and said: "I don't understand, it's Zheng Su who is sorry for the official, and it's not the official who is sorry for him." A few days ago, he also said that he was instructed by me to sneak around to Junchen as an undercover agent, and I didn't bother to debunk him. Why does he still refuse to stop now? ”

Wang Zhu said: "I guess I guess, this guy is probably climbing a high branch." The person behind him wants to deal with you, and he can only feed his conscience to the dogs! ”

Who can be the person behind Zheng Su?

Cui Geng was puzzled.

Wu Sansi? I also helped him plot for the crown prince.

Shangguan Wan'er? Five surnames and seven hopes? It's all my own people.

Lou Shide? This good old man in politics is full of food and supports himself to deal with himself!

Li Dan or Li Xian? It is no exaggeration to say that he is their savior!

If you think about it carefully, now that you and all parties in the DPRK and China are in good shape, and you are not in anyone's way, no one has any reason to move yourself!

Forget it, if you can't think of it, you don't want to think about it, let him go, the most important thing now is to get rid of the Turks. Wu Zetian has clear rewards and punishments, and he has made such a great achievement, presumably even if the mastermind behind the scenes has some small actions, he can't help himself.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng shook his spirits, said goodbye to Wang Zhu, and together with Chai Yunrui, he came to the Turks.

The group passed through Jinzhou, Taiyuan, Daizhou, Shuozhou and Yunzhou to reach Turkic territory.

This mission was different from the last time, and the name of Cui Geng's "Zuo Xian King" had already spread in the Turkic territory, and Turkic officials from all walks of life received him warmly.

In Heisha City, dozens of tables of good wine and good food were set up to entertain the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and dozens of BMWs were sent before leaving.

These horses are much stronger than the horses that He Mingyuan smuggled at the beginning, not only are they too tall, but they are also strictly trained, and they are the best military horses. What's more, the stallion and the mare are split evenly, and the stallion is not castrated.

If Cui Geng operates it well, he can use these horses as the foundation to build a ranch rich in good horses in Dazhou.

It's not just a matter of being able to sell for money, what does a good horse mean to Da Zhou?

Now the Great Zhou has been fighting year after year, and there is a great shortage of good horses. In order to raise horses for the front line, Wu Zetian even announced, "Those who send a horse for the army will be rewarded with five products." ”

What does this mean?

Aren't there many officials who can't cross the huge gap between the sixth and fifth grades? Now's your chance. As long as you donate a military horse, regardless of whether you are originally a ninth, eighth, or sixth, or seventh, the imperial court will immediately grant you the position of a fifth-grade loose official, and you will be crowned with a wife and a son, and you will be honored with your ancestors, at this time!

Through this incident, the strategic significance of a good military horse can be seen.

……

……

"Is Seshulun convinced by me? Or is there some conspiracy? ”

Although Cui Geng was full of suspicions, he still accepted these BMWs and continued to move forward. On this day, arrive at the Turkic town of Eagle's Beak.

Hey? That's not right!

Cui Geng raised his eyes to look, but saw that the outside of the city was full of tents. Tents, tents. Men and women and children inside and outside the tent are all beaming, wearing red and green.

He thought that he still knew a lot about Turkic customs, so he counted on his fingers and said, "Tomorrow is February 16, isn't it a holiday?" Why are there so many people near Hawkbeak City? This outfit again? ”

The Turkic petty official who accompanied him next to him silently observed and explained flatteringly, saying: "Counting the days, it's almost over." Don't hide it from King Zuoxian, today is not a festival, but should be the day of the funeral of the old city lord of Eagle's Beak City! ”

Burst~~

Chai Yunrui couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of wine that had just been put in his mouth, and said, "The city lord is dead, and the people are so happy?" Shuo Hushu is so sinful! ”
