"Zheng Su, how could it be you"

Cui Xiang couldn't believe that his sworn friend was actually someone from Junchen.

But the facts are in front of him, and Zheng Yu himself admitted it, so he can't believe it. Anger, anger, disappointment, and a heartache of being betrayed by a good friend instantly permeated Cui Xiang's heart.

He stared at Zheng Su with red eyes, "I said that why is your kid on a business trip in Chang'an, but you have to ask for leave to go back to Dingzhou with me and report to Brother Cui!" It turns out that you kid didn't have a good heart. Zheng Su, you hide it very deeply, I still treat you as a best friend in life! You... You... I'll beat you to death! ”

As he spoke, Cui Xiang pulled his legs and rushed forward, obviously wanting to step forward and play with Zheng Su.

"Cui Xiang, don't be presumptuous!"

Under the city, Lai Junchen broke off, "Zheng Shuban is now my person who came to Junchen, if you dare to move a finger, I will let you taste the eighteen kinds of torture in my hands, and make you regret coming to this world!" ”

"I ......" Obviously, Cui Xiang, who had just joined the company and was on an errand in Chang'an, was still a little frightened by Lai Junchen, the first cool official in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty's favorite minister who was now popular. Hearing the other party's loud shout, he immediately wilted.

At this time, Cui Geng under the hat was also quite surprised, he never expected that the person who betrayed his whereabouts was actually a young man who followed his ass all day long and short - Zheng Su.

Taking advantage of the gap, he tried to search for the person Zheng Su in the history of his mind.

In the past, I didn't take this harmless dick young man seriously, but now I search carefully, and I suddenly regret my intestines!

Zheng Su, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, is known for his literary talents, and is one of the five surnames and seven hopes, the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, which is right!

After entering the office, he served as the palace servant, the scholar of the palace, the Taichang Shaoqing, the tired relocation of the minister's servant, and even in the third year of Jinglong, that is, the Tang Zhongzong period after Wu Zetian, he also served as the prime minister, which is not wrong!

But Cui Geng ignored Zheng Su's family history after entering the office.

Someone in history has concisely summarized Zheng Su's career, after entering the office, Zheng Su was politically attached to Empress Wu, Empress Wei and cool officials, and always flickered east and west in the upper echelons of the court.

This sentence is said in the vernacular, that is, after Zheng Su entered the official career, he first had a hot fight with the Cool Officials Group, entered Wu Zetian's sight, and then flattered Wu Zetian in various ways, which was reused. In the end, Wu Zetian abdicated, and after Tang Zhongzong succeeded to the throne, Zheng Su was even more catered to ~ Empress Wei, and even wrote ten poems for Empress Wei.

Of course, Zheng Su's fate in history is also tragic, and more than ten years later, that is, in February of the third year of Tang Zhongzong's Jinglong, he was promoted to prime minister; In June, he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima for corruption. In the following year, Li Chongfu, the king of Sejie, conspired to rebel, pre-promoted Chongfu as the Son of Heaven, and then appointed himself as the right prime minister, but was soon defeated and executed.

……

made a mistake, and miscalculated, Cui Geng told the truth, he didn't care too much about this young man with a dick face from the beginning. According to the original development trajectory of history, now is the stage when he has just entered the office, and it is the time to fight with Lai Junchen and other cool officials group, and he is one of Lai Junchen's minions!

Unexpectedly, this kid hid so deeply that he looked away.

But the matter has come to this point, no matter how much regret it is useless, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Cui Xiang, forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

After speaking, he took off the hat on his head and shouted at the city: "Yes, Cui is here!" Come to Junchen, although you and I have never met, we have been friends for a long time. I didn't expect you to nail Zheng Su to me all the time, and your methods are really clever! ”

"Hehe, Master Zheng has already agreed to be the chief secretary of my Lijingmen. From now on, the documents of the official will be drafted by Mr. Cheng. What future can you Cui Erlang give him? Those who know the times are handsome! Lai Junchen sneered.

Cui Geng smiled slightly, and said: "Come to Junchen, I would like to advise you, you accept Zheng Su for your own use, I'm afraid that the day of defeat is just around the corner!" This official is rough like a person's technique, this person's bad luck covers the top, and the master is extremely disturbed, whoever is on his side, who will definitely have no good end! ”

His words were not alarmist, but ironclad facts.

In history, Zheng Su first weaved a document for Lai Junchen, and Lai Junchen was beheaded. Later, he voted for Zhang Changzong's brother Zhang Yi, and the two brothers were hacked to death with knives. Then he took refuge with Wu Sansi, and Wu Sansi was also killed by the rebels. In the end, he did not give up, and took refuge in Li Chongfu, the king of Chen, and prepared to rebel, but as a result, not only was his master killed, but he was also killed.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the light in the officialdom, who he follows, who designates bad luck. Whichever hot big man he takes refuge into, this big man must not be far from death.

However, Lai Junchen naturally didn't believe it, he laughed and said: "Cui Erlang, Hugh is dangerous, if this official believes in these things that are non-existent, he still dares to handle so many big cases?" ”

Immediately, his face turned solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty ordered this official to arrest Governor Shi Cui Geng, surnamed Cui, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect, or will you be arrested?" ”

Sun Yangao under the city said proudly: "Cui Changshi, do you want the entire Boling Cui clan to accompany you to the funeral?" If you know each other, you should take the initiative to go out of the city and go to Lijingmen Prison. Presumably the adults will give you justice, haha! ”

Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, the first cool official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, came to Junchen, plus the nearly 10,000 troops behind him......

Sun Yangao was full of confidence at this time, he was very sure that even if Cui Geng had the means to reach the sky this time, it would be difficult to turn the tables!

At this moment—

The smoke and dust are billowing in the distance, the sound of the horse coat and the bell is ringing, and the first person is wearing a helmet and a crown armor robe and a belt, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, heroic and extraordinary!

He rode his horse and galloped, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty just asked you to investigate the case, but he didn't say that he would let you frame Zhongliang." I want to see who dares to touch my Erlang brother! ”

"Get out of the way! Move! ”

It was too late, but it was too soon, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry had rushed to the front of the three.

The general in the lead turned over and dismounted, grinned, revealing a row of fine silver teeth, and said, "It seems that the Marquis is not too late, the king of Hanoi and Shaoqing are not harmed?" “

Lai Junchen obviously knew the person who came, and he also knew the background of the other party, so he said quite jealously: "Isn't this the Marquis of Fuyuan?" The lower officials advise you that it is better to be less nosy. ”

"Idle? Hmph, that's not much of an idle matter. ”

The general was full of might, and said in a deep voice: "I want to be honored by Cui Erlang and call me a big brother." In this case, Ben Hou is his eldest brother for life. Whoever wants to touch my brother has to pass me first! ”

This is said categorically, there is no room for maneuver, even if the majesty of Lai Junchen is magnificent, he can't help but stagnate!

Lai Junchen couldn't help sneering and said: "Marquis Fu Yuan's words are too big, do you dare to stop your majesty if you want to move Cui Geng?!" ”

The young general didn't give an inch, and said angrily: "If Cui Erlang is not guilty, even if His Majesty wants to move him, Ben Hou should fight for it!" ”

Seeing that the two sides were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, and there was a big fight of tearing up if they didn't agree, Wu Yizong naturally came out to start a round, "Marquis Fuyuan, come to Shaoqing, they are all their own people, why bother to break the harmony for a little Cui Erlang?" If you have something to say, you can talk about it. ”

"Hmph, your own people? King Hanoi, the two of us are our own people, but he ......" the general pointed to Junchen, "he and Benhou are not their own people!" In addition, a certain family also advises you to stay away from the surname! ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and threw it into Wu Yizong's hand.

Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, Wu Youyi, Wu Youji, Taiping Princess Li Lingyue, and Imperial Physician Shen Nanxuan...... Autographs one by one, displayed in front of Wu Yizong.

After watching it, Wu Yizong scolded his mother in his heart, he knew that Cui Geng was Shangguan Wan'er's number one horse boy, and he also knew that Cui Geng had attracted so many powerful people in the current dynasty to become allies in the shopping mall through the four seas merchants. But what he never expected was that when Cui Geng caused such a monstrous disaster, these people were willing to protect him!

Damn, which side should this king stand on?

Wu Yizong pondered for a long time, suddenly tore the letter in his hand and smashed it, and said with a haha: "This king is only ordered to assist the lord, and he can't be the master." What's the matter, Marquis Fu Yuan will talk to him. ”

Lai Junchen said with a bad face: "Your Majesty asked this official to thoroughly investigate the case of Cui Erlang's surrender to the Turks, does Marquis Fu Yuan want to resist and disobey the order?" ”

"Where? It is His Majesty's will to obey this Hou! ”

Then, the general shouted at the city tower: "Cui Geng, if you believe in your brother, come down!" ”

"It's coming!"

Cui Geng agreed, walked down the city wall quickly, and then trotted all the way to the general's approach, and said, "Brother Guo, the little brother will hand over more than 100 catties to you!" ”

The young general is none other than Cui Geng's sworn brother, Guo Ke and Guo Fengxian, the old boss of the lieutenant in Wurong back then.

Guo Ke scolded Cui Geng and said with a smile: "Everything has me!" ”

Immediately, his face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong, Sinong Shaoqing Lai Junchen, and Dingzhou Governor Shi Cui Geng listen to the order!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"I said, there is no tiger in the city; However, the three of them became tigers when they spoke, and their words were good. Today, there is the governor of Ding, Shi Cui Geng, who sent an envoy to the Turkic ......"

This decree roughly says: Whether Cui Geng was recruited by the princess in Turkic, it's hard to say. If Cui Geng really betrayed, of course, he would kill the whole clan to set an example. If I hadn't defected, I wouldn't have been able to kill my loyal ministers without permission. Therefore, this case must be handled with great caution. Therefore, Sinong Shaoqing is now ordered to come to Junchen as the main trial, and Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong and Fuyuan Marquis Guo Ke are the deputy trials, and the case will be jointly heard.

After reciting the holy decree, Guo Ke waved his hand and said officially: "Come on, take down Governor Shi Cui Geng!" ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, four soldiers came up behind him and took out ropes to tie Cui Geng.

Of course, Lai Junchen knew what Guo Ke wanted to do, so he said in a hindrance: "Even if there is His Majesty's will, the official is the chief judge of this case, and Cui Geng should be taken away by my people, right?" ”

Guo Ke pretended to take out the holy decree and looked at it a few more times, and said, "Oh? Is it? But it didn't say that Cui Geng should be taken away by the chief judge? ”

"You ......" Lai Junchen was angry.

"What's wrong with me?" Guo Ke's face changed suddenly, and he scolded angrily: "The surname is here, don't think that you are the chief judge, Ben Hou is the deputy judge, I will miss you." If you think about it carefully, in terms of official position, relatives and nobles, and on merits, which point are you worthy of being compared with a certain family! If you know each other, quickly flash it to the side. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Lai Junchen is proud of his holy family, so he is naturally not afraid.

Guo Ke didn't speak, and suddenly waved his hand!

The cavalrymen behind him immediately unsheathed their steel swords and shouted, "Kill! ”

Guo Ke's troops all crawled out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood with Guo Ke, and a few days ago they fought a bloody battle with the Turkic army of 200,000 in Zhaozhou, and blocked the siege of the Turkic army with a weak force.

This shout is not only uniform, but also a murderous aura that looks at death as home!

Lai Junchen naturally knew that he couldn't take advantage of Guo Ke, but he would have to suffer. He pondered for a moment, quickly smiled, and said, "Since Fu Yuanhou is interested, what about handing over Cui Geng to you temporarily?" The days to come are still long. The lower official has taken his leave! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned over and got on the horse and went away with a few companions, Zheng Su saw that the situation was not good, and he followed closely.

Wu Yizong's triangular eyes rolled wildly, and he hugged his fist at Guo Ke, and said: "If this king and the two don't help each other, I don't care about Cui Geng's case in the future!" ”

After speaking, he also took some people away.

Only Sun Yangao, the assassin of Dingzhou, was left behind, awkwardly clubbed in place, and finally laughed dryly, and said: "If the Marquis of Fuyuan has nothing to order, the next official will retire?" ”

"Sun Thorn History, please!" Guo Ke was not so polite to him, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "In addition, Ben Hou advises you, this muddy water, your surname Sun can't afford to mix." ”

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare!"

Sun Yan walked away with a large group of people in a gray manner.

As soon as Guo Ke made a look, the four sergeants under his command loosened Cui Geng's rope and apologized: "Cui Changshi, I'm sorry!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Cui Geng came to Guo Ke's approach, gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, even Wu Yizong and Lai Junchen want to sell you three points, Brother Guo is mighty!" ”

Guo Ke said indifferently: "What Wu Yizong is afraid of is the many dignitaries and nobles in the court, and this marquis is just a fox and a fake tiger." ”

Cui Geng said: "This is not a place to speak, why don't my brother move to Huangcheng Village with my younger brother, and let's sit down and talk in detail?" ”

Guo Ke said: "This is natural, go, Erlang and I hike into the village." ”

Hand in hand, the two brothers entered the city together.

……

……

In Huangcheng Village, the young children of the Boling Cui clan were extremely enthusiastic and interested in the newly baked Marquis of Fu Yuan in front of them.

During the banquet, many members of the Cui clan even began to inquire about the details of the first battle in Zhaozhou.

Guo Ke is naturally extremely proud of his battle of winning more with less, and it is rare to change the true color of the iron face in the past, and his mouth is like a river, and he talks endlessly.

Cui Geng took advantage of his interest and took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Guo, what is your identity, you should always explain it to your little brother now, right?" ”

"Well, it's no secret either." Guo Ke said: "If it is according to the generation, it should be called Aunt and Grandma today." ”

Cui Geng was shocked and said, "So, Brother Guo is still a relative of the emperor?" ”

Guo Ke drank all the wine in the cup and said, "Yes." Moreover, when it comes to being close to Your Majesty, I am afraid that there are really few people who can surpass me today. This is also the blessing of the ancestors, and this matter has to start from more than fifty years ago......"

Guo Ke said that Wu Zetian has two elder brothers, namely Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. There are also two sisters, the elder sister is called Wu Shun, and the other sister is called Wu Pei.

Needless to say, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were very bad to Wu Zetian, so much so that after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he took tragic revenge on these two elder brothers.

Sister Wu Shun had a good relationship with Wu Zetian at first, but later, she committed adultery with Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian was jealous and assassinated her. This Wu Shun is a famous Korean lady in history, she committed adultery with Li Zhi, but everyone knows that she also has a very famous son named Helan Minzhi. Wu Shun didn't end well, naturally, her daughter Helan clan and son Helan Minzhi didn't end well.

Among the brothers and sisters, the only one who has no grievances with Wu Zetian is this sister Wu Pei.

Wu Pei married a man named Guo Xiaoshen, and the husband and wife were affectionate and respectful to each other. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon after the birth of their son Guo Zhi, the husband and wife died in a violent illness.

Guo Zhi grew up under the care of the Guo family, but he had the same fate as his father, he died young, and less than a year after his son Guo Ke was born, he got a serious illness and traveled west.

So Guo Ke is Wu Pei's grandson, and Wu Zetian is his aunt.

After Cui Geng heard this, he secretly said, Guo Ke really didn't brag. In terms of closeness to Wu Zetian, I am afraid that only Princess Taiping, Li Xian and Li Dan can beat him.

As for Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghe? Don't look at this again, the prince has been sealed in the slightest, but their father and Wu Zetian have an inextricable grudge.

What's more, none of them have Guo Ke's real skills!

In the first battle of Zhaozhou, he won more with less, resisted the Turkic army of 200,000, shocked the government and the opposition, and became famous all over the world! This is a rising star in the Great Zhou court.

Wu Zetian ascended the throne as the emperor, why did he frequently purge the senior generals in the army? Aren't you afraid that the Wu family won't be able to control the army?

Now that there is Guo Ke, a descendant of the martial arts family, Her Majesty the Empress is naturally happy and relieved!

Guo Ke's parents have died early, and the surname Guo is not a big family, for Wu Zetian, he is the Wu family's own person!

No wonder Lai Junchen is afraid of him.

Cui Geng thought of this, and couldn't help but say with relief: "In the future, my brother will be covered, and it seems that the younger brother of this lawsuit is also in danger!" ”

"Well, that's hard to say." Guo Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian, Shangguan Sheren and I worked hard to get this errand from Your Majesty. But you're in suspense! ”

"What do you say, brother?" Cui Geng's heart sighed.

Guo Ke said: "Lai Junchen is not without a target this time, but he does have evidence in his hand that you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!" ”
