Chapter 708: Tighter and tighter
The oblique moon is in the sky, and the fine willows are in the wind.
Shangshan Fang, a gorgeous mansion directly outside the wall of the fang, suddenly opened the door, two rows of Gaoli women carried lanterns and came out, Kunlun slave led the horse, knelt on one knee, and waited for the master to step on the knee and get on the horse.
Liang Wang Wu Sansi was so drunk that his face was pale, and he was already six or seven points drunk, supported by two bewitching beauties, and said goodbye to the guests one by one.
The ability to work King Liang personally greeted him is naturally not an idle person, under the lantern, a pair of jade people are Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who are as beautiful as lotus flowers.
In addition to Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who have been secretly laughed at by the people as the "queen" and "concubine" of the Great Zhou, there are also three brothers, Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changqi, and Zhang Changyi, as well as several brothers of the Cui family and Zhang Shuo, Gao Jian and other young handsome people.
As for Cui Di, in the end, he lost the favor of Princess Taiping and was not recommended by her, but Cui Yu had an idea and summoned the two brothers Cui Ye and Cui Li to the capital in time.
Now, Cui Xiang, Cui Li, Cui Li, and their cousin Cui Wei, who has long been in the capital, have been jointly recommended by Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, and the palace has spent money to bribe the Zhang brothers to blow the pillow wind, and finally said that he would use force Zetian to summon him personally. After a while, Wu Zetian was very satisfied with their talent and appearance, so the four brothers of the Cui family all became officials.
Now Cui Xiang has ascended to the sky in one step and has become a foreign man of the Ministry of Officials. And the three brothers Cui Li, Cui Li and Cui Luo were also appointed as Hanlin Bachelors, although they did not have much real power, their identities were extremely noble.
The four brothers of the Cui family were proud of their youth and became famous in one fell swoop, and the folk affairs about them and Princess Taiping became more and more noisy, but everyone had to admit that the four brothers of the Cui family were indeed talented and learned, otherwise they would not be able to cope with that level just by the prelude.
Wu Sansi personally sent Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers out of the palace, and the two brothers Zhang Changzong said goodbye to their friends and went back to the palace.
The rest of the people took advantage of the wine to rein the horses. There were servants on the periphery with lanterns and torches. Stroll along the Luoshui Causeway, so it's not easy.
Today's banquet was facilitated by Cui Xiang, and now the guests and hosts are happy, and the first step of Jihua entrusted by Princess Taiping to Cui Xiang has been successfully implemented, and I can't help but be proud in my heart, taking advantage of the wine. He chanted: "Qu Zhu is a light boat, and the front stream is fishing for the evening." The geese turn over the pampas leaves, and the fish pluck the flowers and swim. The gold hangs the grapefruit, and the pearl house folds the pomegranate. The search is endless, and the clear moon is half a west building......"
His poem is not only eloquent, but also beautifully written. Zhang Shuo, who was also invited to the banquet, couldn't help but sigh, and admired Gao Jian: "With such a literary status, Zhang may still be able to catch up with him, but with such achievements at his age, Zhang is out of reach." ”
Gao Jian smiled and said: "The Cui family's wealthy family and the ministers of the past generations have such a background, and you and my brothers are inferior." And rightfully so! ”
Zhang Shuo pointed at him and smiled: "Senior brother is so open-minded. Zhang is also a little behind. ”
Cui Xiang rode in front of him and vaguely heard the two talking. I couldn't help but smile to myself: outsiders only saw the scenery, but they didn't know that the status of the four brothers today was not just learned by relying on their family background.
The four brothers of the Cui family entered the office at the same time, and the scenery was unmatched for a while, this is not just by learning, there are many people who have knowledge but do not know it. Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er's joint recommendation was an important reason why they were able to enter the office, but it was a price for Princess Taiping to agree to the recommendation, and also persuaded Shangguan to nod for them.
Creating an atmosphere for the world in which the Zhang brothers took the initiative to make friends with Wu Sansi is part of this price.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The four brothers of the Cui family are suave and suave, from famous families, and they are the people that the Zhang brothers like to make friends with the most, and the Zhang brothers are now recruiting troops and expanding Shili, and the most important thing is these noble born, talented, and famous children of the same age, and the two sides hit it off.
With the intentional catering of the four Cui brothers, they soon became the guests of the three brothers including Zhang Tongxiu and Zhang Changsi.
On this day, the four brothers of Cui Xiang invited the three brothers of Zhang Tongxiu to drink and bow by the Luoshui River, and chatted with each other, and the three brothers of the Zhang family happily went to the banquet.
At the banquet, Cui Li seemed to talk about Li Zhaode's imprisonment by chance, and Cui Li immediately said: "The emperor crossed the Three Law Divisions and handed over the case to Lai Junchen, it seems that it won't be long before Lai Junchen can be transferred back to the Three Law Divisions and regain the power to monitor hundreds of officials." ”
When Zhang Changqi heard this, he couldn't help but take care of his heart and said: "That day in Longmen, Lai Junchen and my three brothers had a very unpleasant quarrel. I have heard that Lai Junchen has a grudge and is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, if he is allowed to take charge of the three law divisions again, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to my Zhang family. ”
Zhang Tongxiu sneered and said disdainfully: "What kind of thing is Junchen?" I'm afraid of what he will do, looking at the government and the opposition, who is qualified to be the enemy of my Zhang clan now? ”
Cui Xiang persuaded: "Tongxiu, this matter is careless, there are more than one or two big people who have been brought down by Junchen over the years, which of these people was not in power at the beginning and played a pivotal role in the court?" It's not a good thing to be stared at by such a serpent-like person. ”
Zhang Tongxiu still disagreed, and said: "The soldiers are coming to block, and the water is coming to cover the earth, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
Cui Xiang smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves!" If Tongxiu is so careless, it is difficult to guarantee that one day, he will not seize the opportunity to eat you. ”
Zhang Tongxiu frowned and said, "Otherwise, what can you do?" ”
Cui Xiang leaned over and lowered his voice: "To deal with people like Lai Junchen, you should strike first!" ”
Zhang Tongxiu said: "Brother Cui, don't you want to rectify that rampant villain?" It's just that the empress attaches great importance to this minion and relies on it as a humerus. Although my family Goro and Rokuro are favored by the empress, there is no sufficient reason, and it is impossible to let the empress waste her arms without a few words! ”
Cui Xiang smiled coldly and said, "Why don't you let him take advantage of his wisdom and kill himself?" ”
Zhang Tongxiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "In this way, what is Brother Cui's clever plan?" ”
Cui Xiang whispered a few words to him, and after listening to Cui Xiang's words, Zhang Sixiu thought carefully for a long time, and hesitated: "Is this plan feasible?" In case of...... Instead, let Lai Junchen get his hands ......"
Cui Xiang smiled and said, "What if he gets it?" If Lai Junchen wins, it is also borrowed from Junchen's hand, in addition to our other major resistance, King Wei has long been dissatisfied with Brother Zhang's more and more siblings in the court to suppress his shili! ”
Zhang Tongxiu said calmly: "Not bad! Regardless of whether this scheme succeeds or fails. We are all profitable! Haha. Clever plan, it is really a seamless plan, I will enter the palace and discuss it with Yi Zhi and Changzong! ”
Cui Xiang grabbed him and said: "Tongxiu, this matter is not in a hurry, now is the time of spring, let's do our best to drink!" ”
Zhang Tongxiu has something on his mind. How could he still have the heart to drink, and after a while, he left Zhang Changqi and Zhang Changyi to accompany the four Cui brothers, and entered the palace happily.
It was already afternoon, and Wu Zetian went to the court, and first went to Wucheng Hall to deal with some important movements. Xiangshang Guan Wan'er also inquired about the progress of transporting grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons to quell the Khitan rebels, so she turned back to Lichuntai and talked and laughed with Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi for a while.
Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi saw Wu Zetian taking a nap, went to the garden to swing for a while, and went fishing again when they were bored. The hook has just been thrown into the pond. Then an attendant came to report, saying that Zhang Tongxiu had arrived. The two brothers were very happy, and hurriedly put the fishing rod aside, and asked someone to invite the elder brother.
Zhang Tongxiu was led to the edge of the pool, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi sat down with him at a stone table, and Gong E offered fresh fruit and candied fruit and retreated. Zhang Changzong said to Zhang Tongxiu: "The two of us are extremely bored in the palace, and we look forward to the brothers coming to talk to us every day. ”
Zhang Tongxiu looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I entered the palace today because I have important matters to discuss with you. ”
Zhang Yizhi was surprised and said, "Brother, is there something going on at home?" ”
Zhang Tongxiu shook his head and said, "Everything is fine at home, nothing happens!" ”
Immediately said what Cui Xiang said to him, and told Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong again, among the Zhang brothers, Zhang Tongxiu is known for his strategy, so his prestige is very high, at this time, he naturally will not say that this idea is Cui Xiang's proposal, but cheeky as his own idea.
Zhang Yizhi listened to Zhang Tongxiu's words, frowned slightly, and muttered: "Lai Junchen is a high-flying man, and he doesn't even look at my Zhang family, so he should have been cleaned up a long time ago." It's just that it seems a bit risky to use such means......"
Zhang Tongxiu said calmly: "Yi Zhi, you are too timid. What are the risks associated with this? I have already carefully calculated, with the empress's favor for you and Changzong, if this matter is exposed, it is a big deal to blame you for a few words, what else can I do?
Thinking that Junchen framed Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu and other prime ministers at the beginning, and the matter was revealed, what happened to him? Lai Junchen took the lead in receiving auspicious work, and now the empress already knows, what happened to him? Could it be that in the eyes of the emperor, you are not as important as coming to Junchen?
If the matter is exposed, there will be no future trouble with my Zhang family. If Jihua is implemented, then we will be profitable regardless of success or failure. Jihua succeeds, and Lai Junchen is about to fall, so we go to a mortal enemy; Jihua failed, Lai Junchen succeeded, and the unlucky one was Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei!
Yi Zhi, who is our Zhang family's biggest opponent now? It's the samurai! If Wu Chengsi can be overthrown, the emperor will definitely not worry about handing over all the military power to Wu Sansi, who else can she rely on at that time except for our Zhang family? In this way, our Zhang family not only has people in the court, but also has military power, so that we can ensure that our Zhang family is rich and prosperous for ten thousand years! ”
Zhang Changzong nodded heavily and agreed: "Wulang, I think what the eldest brother said is right, no matter what this jihua says, it will be beneficial to our Zhang family, you can try it." ”
Seeing that Zhang Changzong also agreed, Zhang Yizhi couldn't help but be a little moved, he thought for a while, and said with some worry: "Are you sure you can let out the wind and make Lai Junchen tempted?" That Wei Suizhong, can you buy it? ”
Zhang Tongxiu said firmly: "Don't worry, Wulang, when is it not prudent for the eldest brother to do things?" Wei Suizhong was a person who came to the house drunk and insulted Mrs. Wang's relatives, Mrs. Wang was humiliated but hanged herself angrily, Wei Suizhong was panicked and uneasy, and stayed in the Qinglou every day, and even dared not go home. He's looking for a big backer to keep him safe! ”
Zhang Tongxiu smiled proudly, raised his chin and said: "In today's world, if you can keep him safe in the hands of Lai Junchen, is there a second one besides our Zhang family?" ”
Zhang Yizhi pondered for a moment, nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay!" I will follow you, big brother, and be cautious! ”
