Li Dan slowly returned the Zhan Lu sword to the sheath and said, "I just talked so much with Cui Xiang just now, just to make Cui Xiang believe in my sincerity. Belch...... I want to be open and honest with you. β
After a pause, he smiled bitterly again: "Today's case of Liu Youqiu made Cui Xiangjian smile." In fact, everyone knows that I and you are on the same page. There are many contradictions between me and the crown prince. Even he has been thinking about making me the second Emperor Gaozu, and he will be the second Emperor Taizong,"
Cui Gengqing sighed "hmm" and did not make a positive statement.
Li Dan continued: "Now between me, you, and the prince, I barely haven't torn my face. However, if you are not careful, it will be a situation of continuous military disasters. This situation can't last ~ long. I don't know why Cui Xiang taught me? β
Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "Whether you believe it or not, Weichen only wants to protect himself now, and he has no intention of supporting Li Chongfu as the emperor." To put it mildly, if he is the emperor, he may not be much stronger than the previous emperor. So...... To solve today's crisis...... Can you change King Ning to the crown prince? β
"Because King Ning's wisdom is not as good as San Lang?"
Cui Geng shook his head and said, "To be precise, it's because King Ning is not as ruthless as the crown prince." If he is the emperor, the two sides will still be safe. But the prince...... I'm afraid there will be a big change in a year or two. β
Li Dan shook his head and said: "King Ning can't fight you Cui Erlang, and I don't feel at ease if I put the country in his hands." β
"Then ......" Cui Geng wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and said: "Then there is no way, you can only take one step at a time." β
Li Dan noticed that Cui Gengyan was insincere, and said, "Does Cui Xiang have something to say?" β
Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "What Weichen originally wanted to say was that if you want everyone not to fight for the position of an emperor, you just need to make this throne worthless." β
"You mean the puppet emperor?"
Cui Geng shook his head and said, "Definitely." Mencius Yun, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. If the government can be returned to the people, the emperor will rule vertically. As a courtier, you don't have to be afraid all the time, and try to protect yourself. β
Cui Geng's meaning, of course, is to implement a constitutional monarchy.
A constitutional monarchy, which limits the power of the king. The king can no longer take away his ministers, and the political struggle does not need to be so bloody.
Li Dan obviously couldn't understand Cui Geng's point of view, shook his head and said: "Returning the government to the people, isn't that a monarch or a minister?" What kind of system? Choi Xiang laughed. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The fragile balance between Cui Geng, Li Dan and Li Longji is shaky, and anyone can see it. However, it is easier said than done.
Cui Geng and Li Dan discussed for a long time, but there was no feasible plan. However, the goals of the two sides have converged: to understand each other and try not to meet each other.
That's a lot of progress.
After a few more gossips, Cui Geng said goodbye and left.
Squeak ~~
As the door of the Ganlu Hall slowly closed, the figure flashed, and Li Longji flashed out from behind the screen.
He said: "Father, listen, what kind of bad idea did this Cui Erlang come up with?" It's really mad, and its heart can be punished to the extreme! β
Li Dan also said disappreciatively: "What is the government for the people?" Isn't it just to let us, the gentleman surnamed "Li", return to the government of him, the people surnamed "Cui"? Cui Erlang is really damned! β
Li Longji said viciously: "Fortunately, we are ready for the plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. Recently, we have used means to paralyze Cui Geng, and he is almost paralyzed. When the day comes, start killing! β
Li Dan said: "Everything is entrusted to San Lang." β
"Father, don't worry!"
Each of them kept a word and did not say a word.
Li Dan secretly thought in his heart: "San Lang, San Lang, you can go and deal with Cui Geng." I want you to see what it means to catch cicadas with praying mantises, and the yellow finch is behind! β
Li Longji also secretly thought in his heart: "Old man, I know that you are going to give me a mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." But you didn't expect that, did you? After the Yellow Sparrow, there is the Yellow Sparrow! After the matter is completed, the great country of the Tang Dynasty will be mine! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cui Geng was unaware of the impending risks.
He hurried back to the house, only to find a guest who had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
"Are you ......" Cui Geng finally remembered the name of the old man who was in the Xuanwu Gate Tower and spoke for himself, and said, "Miao Bei? β
"Hehe, yes and no."
The old man picked off his beard, rubbed ~ a few times at the corner of his eyes, and said, "Look again, who am I?" β
"Huh? How are you? Old man Miao? β
That's right, the person in front of Cui Geng is the North Gate Bachelor Miao Shenke, or call him ...... Old liar Washfang.
Miao Shenke smiled slightly and said, "What?" Don't welcome the old man? β
"It's not that ...... are not welcome" Cui Geng swallowed and foamed: "I mean, aren't you in Turkic, being a military advisor to the Russian special service?" Why do you have time to go back to Chang'an? β
"I'm a beggar."
"Beggar...... Beggar bones? β
"That's right, my old man is so old, and there is no day for a day, shouldn't I go back to the Central Plains to enjoy Qingfu?"
After a pause, he sighed lightly and said, "My family knows about my family's affairs, and I am afraid that the old Yangshou is less than a year." β
"Oh, your old body is fine......"
"Don't!" Miao Shenke waved his hand and said, "Don't play tricks, I don't eat that." All in all, I am counting on you Cui Erlang to send me to the end of my pension, do you promise or not? β
Cui Geng replied angrily: "Of course it's no problem. β
Later, Cui Geng set up a banquet to wash the dust for Miao Shenke.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Cui Geng asked about Miao Shenke's situation in Turkic.
Miao Shenke bluntly told him that at present, there is no problem with the Turks. However, the same Russian special service is obviously lacking in heart, and Cui Geng had better send another capable person to assist him. Otherwise, he might have to be calculated by the Que special service one day.
Cui Geng thought about it carefully, the talents in his hands were similar to Miao Shenke's ability, but there was really no one.
Fortunately, there is no hurry in this matter, and I will finish the wedding with Cao Yuechan first.
The two also talked about the current political situation in China.
Cui Geng was very proud, and told the recent case of Yang Xuanyan and the case of Deng Guangbin beating Su Li that happened today.
There is no way, seeing that there are unsolvable problems, he not only solved them very smoothly, but also got a huge lottery, can he not be happy?
Cui Geng even happily concluded: "This is called the time to come and the earth are all together, and the heroes are not free." β
Miao Shenke finished listening, but his white eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "Erlang, don't blame the old man for ruining your interest." Your luck is a bit wrong. β
"Huh?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Think about it, how blessed is it to solve a small case of beating someone to death and get the Longquan Sword? That's it, the key is the case of Deng Guangbin beating Su Li, it is not a secret, the old man was indeed at the scene at the time. I testify for you today that I am not lying at all. But ......"
"How?"
"I clearly remember that the witnesses at that time, except for the old man and that Yan Yun, the rest of the people did not testify. As for those who testify to you today, they are not real eyewitnesses. Don't you think it's weird? β
"Huh?"
Cui Geng first felt a pang in his heart, and then smiled: "Uh...... Maybe these people came to help because they had received the favor of their own officials? It's not unreasonable, is it? β
After a pause, he added, "Just make sense." Again...... When heaven and earth come together, heroes are not free! When people's luck comes, they can't stop it. At the beginning, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu fought against Wang Mang, and the meteorite fell in Wang Mang's camp, how can this be reasonable? β
"Uh......"
Miao Shenke thought about it carefully, Cui Geng's words were indeed difficult to refute. However, he always felt that things were strange. On that day, at the reception feast, the mind did not belong.
Fortunately, the following days were calm and nothing bad happened.
Carefully weighing the general trend of the world, Cui Geng has hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and there are 60,000 Yulin troops of Princess Taiping inside. Coupled with the fact that Li Dan's father and son were separated from morality, they really couldn't think of where the danger came from.
Miao Shenke can only explain that he is worried about the sky.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, it is the happy day of Cao Yuechan and Cui Geng.
