His Majesty the Emperor had made a decree, but Zheng did not act immediately.

For a while, the people in Chang'an City were looking forward to seeing how Zheng was low and small about Cui Gengfu, and asked him to return to the imperial court to work.

Of course, no one thought that Zheng Yun would not move Cui Geng. Cui Qingtian, he loves the people like a son, and if he gives a little step, he should "focus on the overall situation".

Three days later.

"Please also ask Cui Xiang to show mercy and save the people from fire and water!"

"The Silla people are cruel and unkind, and they do all kinds of evil, can you bear to see that my Tang people are innocent and killed?"

"The old body kowtows to you, I beg you!"

……

Twenty or thirty people dressed as Goguryeo knelt down in front of the palace of the state of Chu. There are drooping boys, white-haired old men, and beautiful girls like flowers, but none of them are young and strong.

There was even a little girl of four or five years old with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said in a childish voice: "Daddy! I want Daddy! ”

It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

……

……

The Mansion of the State of Chu, in the living room.

Cui Geng held his chin lightly and muttered: "Good Zheng, you are still playing this kind of cleverness at this time, do you really think that this official is easy to bully?" ”

A person next to him accosted him: "The gentleman deceived him? Zheng made a mistake this time and made a wishful calculation. Cui Xiang, as long as you stretch out a little finger, you can make him irreversible. ”

The person who said this was a big fat man of two or three hundred pounds, his fat body trembled, his face was smooth and greasy, his eyes were not very bright, and he looked very stupid.

He took a letter from Princess Taiping yesterday and asked to see Cui Geng.

After a deep conversation with him, Cui Geng found that he was talented, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed.

Cui Geng groaned: "Speaking of which, this official and Brother Zheng have a fight, and I really don't want to be so desperate!" ”

"Cui Xiang, at this moment, you must not have the kindness of a woman!" The fat man was anxious at that time, and said, "Yes, you regarded Zheng as a brother at the beginning, but how did he treat you?" Take the initiative to be an undercover agent and reveal your whereabouts to Lai Junchen! If it weren't for you, Prime Minister Li Zhaode led people to break into the courtyard, and the big trees on your grave were probably already talented. Later, when Lai Junchen fell, you took the initiative to let him go, but this guy actually took revenge and took refuge in the Zhang brothers, how many of your subordinates did he kill? How many times have you struggled? If you don't dispose of these people, will you still keep them for the New Year? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Wu...... This official knows that you and Zheng Qiu are as deep as the sea, but you don't have to be so excited...... Okay, I'll listen to you, and I'll make a break with him today. ”

After speaking, Cui Geng shook his spirits, took Feng Changqing, Song Genhai and others out of the living room, came to the door, and ordered: "Open the door!" ”

"Whoa!"

Squeak ~~

The middle door of the Duke of Chu Mansion was wide open, and Cui Geng strode forward to the group of people dressed as Goguryeo.

"This official is the Tang Dynasty Household Department Shangshu, Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Chu Guogong Cui Geng, what do you have to tell this official?"

An old man in his sixties and seventies with gray hair bowed his head and said, "We are all victims of the disaster who fled from Pyongyang, and please ask Choi Xiang to make decisions for us and others!" Those Silla people were so ruthless that they forcibly seized our fields, not to mention, and robbed us of the last bit of life-saving food. ”

Immediately, a girl like a flower and jade answered: "My father and brother did not obey, and they killed them on the spot." Pity a weak female stream of the slave family, and they gave it to ...... on the spot Bullied...... Not only that, but they also took slaves into the barracks and tortured them in every way. God is pitiful, so that the slave family found an opportunity, escaped from the barracks, and asked Cui Xiang to avenge the slave's family! ”

Zheng is Yangmou, can you Cui Geng watch the grievances of these Tang people indifferent? Do you want Cui Qingtian's name anymore?

The people watching around are not stupid, and they have long seen this. Even many people secretly made up their minds not to follow these gangs of people.

Originally, it had been so long since Silla was in trouble, and what should have happened had already happened, so I was not in a hurry to do so.

However, the girl's words made them unable to bear it any longer.

"Silla barbarian, I'm ~~!"

"Dare to do such a thing to this little lady, it's really better than a bird ~ a beast."

"Is it tolerable or intolerable? We Datang can't get used to them. ”

"Please also ask Cui Xiang to come out and teach the Silla people a hard lesson!"

……

For a time, the people were excited.

After a while, when the voices of the people gradually lowered, a shout came from afar, saying: "Please also ask Cui Xiang to save the people from fire and water, the younger generation of the people beg you." ”

Who?

People followed the prestige, but they saw a middle-aged man walking in the distance, wearing a purple robe and a gold belt at his waist, who is Zheng Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty today?

Swish!

The people automatically got out of the way, Zheng took a few steps to Cui Geng's approach, gave a deep salute, and said, "Big brother, have you seen everything?" The conquest of Silla and the revenge of my Tang people are the people's will of thousands of people~. Even though the little brother had something to do with you at the beginning, how innocent are the people? Please don't pretend to be sick anymore, take the initiative to go out of the mountain, and serve the court! ”

Looking at this, it seems that Cui Geng has become a villain who does not care about the safety of the people for personal gain. And he Zheng is a good man who asks for the people's life and compromises.

Although the people faintly felt that something was wrong, they all felt that Zheng was so righteous and responsible, and if he and Cui Geng changed places, they could only suffer this dumb loss.

However, Cui Geng is not an ordinary person!

He smiled coldly and said, "Dare to ask Zheng Xiang, are you sure that the conquest of Silla is the will of the people~?" ”

"Joke, so many people speak in unison, isn't it the people~will?"

"That official is very strange......" As he spoke, Cui Geng closed his eyes and sang softly: "Zhishilang in front of Changbai Mountain, pure red Luo Mian back crotch. The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. ”

The people were still inexplicable at first, but soon someone reacted and shouted: """Death Song of the Dead Waves of the Unknown Liaodong Waves", this is the "Dead Song of the Dead Waves of the Unknown Liaodong Waves"! ”

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, and the conscription and military service were very heavy, and the people were not able to make a living, "the world died in service and the family was injured in wealth", especially in Shandong and Hebei, the destruction was more serious, and the prelude to the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty was opened here, and the leader of the uprising, Wang Bo, used this song to tell everyone that there was no way to live!

Later, this song spread all over the world, and some people said that it was a song that destroyed a dynasty.

Although a hundred years have passed, this song is still widely circulated.

Cui Geng had already finished singing this song at this time, and continued: "Today, the people are asking for the conquest of Silla is the will of the people~, and the people would rather die than conquer Goguryeo that day, is it not the will of the people~?" ”

Zheng Qiang argued: "That was when Emperor Yang of Sui was desperate and tried to conquer Goguryeo three times, but he lost.

Cui Geng sneered: "When Emperor Yang of Sui was born, the millions of elite soldiers who followed Emperor Wen of Sui to open the country had not yet grown old, and it was a temporary choice to come to Hu'er, Mai Tiecane and other generals. They all lost, how can you be sure...... Will the official win? ”

"This ......"

Cui Geng was unforgiving, and continued: "And I, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, led the famous generals of Zhenguan, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo could not be fully accomplished. Could it be that I think Cui Erlang is worthy of Emperor Taizong and the famous general Zhenguan? ”

"I ......"

"Also, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. To conquer Silla, at least a few hundred thousand troops must be dispatched, right? In order to entertain foreign envoys, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty could wrap silk around trees, but in the end, due to the levy of Goguryeo, the treasury was empty, and taxes were constantly raised, and the people rose up. Emperor Taizong conquered Goguryeo three times in his later years, and there was also a rebellion among the bureaucrats. Now that the Datang treasury is empty, where will the money come from? ”

As he spoke, Cui Geng looked around.

Neither Zheng nor the people dared to look at him, and everyone could think with their toes that the imperial court had no money, so they would raise taxes.

It's easy to shout slogans, but it's really reluctant to take money!

After a long time, Zheng said: "Then according to what Cui Xiang said, Silla took away my Tang land and oppressed my Tang people, should the Tang Dynasty court sit idly by?" ”

"Of course not." Cui Geng pointed his nose and angrily reprimanded Zheng Dao: "Silla bullied me like this, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, you can't resist the enemy, but you can only sit back and watch, so what does the court want you to do?" ”

Zheng is so angry, his heart said, you have said all the right and the opposite! You are the one who says you can't fight Silla, and you are the one who says you want to fight Silla, who are you?

He frowned and said, "Cui Xiang, what did you say just now......?"

Cui Geng said: "The meaning of the original picture is that the conquest of Silla is imperative. However, before we think about victory, we must first consider the difficulties clearly. ”

"There are so many difficulties, you still want me to send troops from Datang?"

"Of course." Cui Gengdao: "Actually, Benxiang already has a small plan, neither large-scale conscription nor tax on the people of Datang, he can severely punish Silla, so that it will no longer dare to provoke Datang." But ......"

"How?"

"For the sake of this official to have no worries, Zheng Xiang, can you promise me one thing?"

An ominous premonition surged into Zheng's heart, and he swallowed and spit, "What...... What's up? ”

"What if you don't resign?"
