Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 87
Yao Chong did not go to court the next day either.

Yao Chong has always had the habit of waking up early. Although it was very late yesterday after a series of acupuncture and massage activities to reduce stress, he still woke up around [-] o'clock in the morning.

I got up very quickly, and then found that my waist could not be straightened up, "Oh, my waist."

It was just running and wielding a weapon all morning, causing irreparable damage to his delicate body.So, he rested peacefully on the bed, lying down for a whole day.

Whether it is Datang or Wuzhou, officials still have some preferential treatment. There is such a saying as sick leave.

Liu Rengui also specially brought a famous doctor to treat him, "Are you okay?"

Yao Chong felt very bitter, he was 30 years old, and he was tossed about by a young man in his 20s, "My lord came to visit, Yao Chong was very grateful, I couldn't get up to return the salute, I hope you can forgive me, Yao Chong has the entrustment of my lord, and there is I am ashamed, my lord."

Liu Rengui nodded in satisfaction.

The doctor looked at him for a while, and said, "Lord Yao, it's just that he was overworked and injured his body, it will be fine after a few days of rest."

Liu Rengui exhorted a few words about his experience as an official: "Yuanzhi, although this Wu Sansi is tossing around to show you off, but this system is still good. The Great Tang Shangwu, I have been an official in the court for many years, but the experience of leading troops abroad in the early years The military merits obtained are also an important reason why His Majesty relied heavily on him and respected by his courtiers in several dynasties. Yuan Zhi should exercise more. If he can gain His Majesty's trust in the future, he will be able to make achievements with a little military merit. It’s even more tolerable.”

Yao Chong: "Follow your lord's instruction."

Yao Chong, who was sick, naturally wanted to have a good rest, but none of the people in the capital was fuel-efficient. This was a good opportunity to express goodwill to the upstarts. Those with similar official positions to Yao Chong naturally had to pay a visit.Those who are slightly taller than him naturally have to visit. People from the Yao residence come and go in an endless stream. Yao Chong complains in his heart, but there is nothing he can do.

In the imperial court, sick leave is a major event. Come to visit, you know what you know. If you are seriously ill and a vacancy falls, it still depends on who has a quick eye and a quick hand.Opportunities favor those who are prepared, and vacancies favor those who are prepared.

When the sun was about to set, Yao Chong's leader, Wu Sansi, also came to visit him.Wu Sansi smiled without missing a beat, only maintaining Yao Chong's basic face, and didn't care what he thought.

The two knew in their hearts that they were enemies rather than friends.If it wasn't for this person being the number one scholar in the new discipline, and the Emperor Wu intends to train this person, Wu Sansi might have eliminated this person long ago.

Wu Sansi: "Yao Shilang, I don't know if my health is better."

Yao Chong: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your concern. The next official is already much better."

Wu Sansi: "I don't know when I can go back to the Ministry of War?"

Yao Chong: "The doctor ordered at least three days and at most seven days."

Wu Sansi: "I want to lighten up the training with you."

Yao Chong: "Impossible. The imperial court has its own laws, and Yao Chong dare not abolish the public for personal reasons." If I can't even persist in this, then in the future, I won't be underestimated, how can I convince the public.

Wu Sansi: "That's fine, Yuan Zhi needs to cultivate well, the military department really lacks talents like you." Hmph, if I don't finish the recruit training, I will definitely join you. Is it a joke to be in the military department?

Wu Sansi was born as a general, but he was not used to dealing with these literati. If the army greeted him, he would have slapped Yao Chong on the waist and back.This shot of the warrior is quite particular, it can not only express caring, brotherhood, but also report some personal grievances, the severity depends entirely on one's own mood.The sick can't get up and fight back immediately, they can only wait for the next opportunity, and reciprocate courtesy.

After all, Wu Sansi held back, this person's physical condition is too bad, this really creates a problem for shooting, maybe Liu Rengui has to arrange himself.When Liu Rengui was mentioned, he became angry. When he was invited out of the mountain, he was a hypocrite for surrendering to His Majesty so quickly.

Yao Chong didn't have much interest here, and Wu Sansi left in a dispirited manner, with many scruples, and felt a little upset that no one was photographed.

Wu Sansi's official career was prosperous all the way, but he was a little worse than Wu Chengsi's ability to follow the dragon. Fortunately, he had a reliable partner in the harem who stood in line with the court. He never made mistakes, but he was better than the silent Wu Chengsi It's a little bit stronger, and it's considered a spring breeze.

Now, he couldn't understand the situation more and more, and he had his own thoughts.

Wu Chengsi has also learned a lot in more than a year, but more is his admiration for the son-in-law.Although he took the Conglong Zhigong, the person the Emperor Wu trusted was not himself, and he was always worried about what to do.Wu Sansi and Shen Sanwen could always understand what Emperor Wu meant, but his elm head couldn't figure it out.Especially Wu Sansi, who was immediately enlightened, which made him feel a sense of frustration.Wu Chengsi always felt that he should still be in the most difficult situation among these people. It seemed that he could hold a lot of thighs, but he didn't dare to make any moves. He lost the emperor's face, and he might not survive. Children and grandchildren, the requirements are still very high, and he does not want to be looked down upon.

Looking at the court, these people are fighting for power and profit every day, he also wants to take that step.

In addition to this pair of brothers and sisters, there is also Wu Lun who is the heir of the emperor.From once owning the world to being relegated to losing the world, he felt extremely unhappy. He had never thought about this before, so why bother to give himself hope.

In this world, the surname is no longer Li. How can I go to see my father?But he still has to avoid government affairs, not daring to reveal even the slightest bit of love for power, even though this bit of greed has already gnawed at his bones and heart.On the bookshelves on both sides, the previous poems and songs have been covered with a thin layer of fine dust, but some of the chapters on governing the country, he is almost torn, and the calligraphy is always one word, forbearance.However, these have little effect. Those courtiers and local officials are not easy to get along with. They are not in the classics and history collection.

Years are really difficult.Although Liu Rengui, a loyal veteran, was invited, the court structure had actually changed a long time ago.Especially when Lai Junchen made his debut, he shattered his plan to get back to work. He had no soldiers and few supporters. He was a loner who was not the eldest son, and he had no exciting power as bait, so he could only settle down in a corner.

In the court, another bad news came again.

Since Xiao Cui was exiled, Cui Cha felt like sitting on pins and needles every day, lest he would offend Emperor Wu.Every emperor cherishes talents, but they can't tolerate things like taking power, not to mention that behind Cui Cha there is an aristocratic family that has some issues with Emperor Wu.As Cui Zhiti was critically ill, the Cui family's loss of power in the court became more obvious, and Cui Cha felt even more sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and didn't know what to do.There are many people who miss the position of prime minister, and everyone is innocent and guilty, so it is time to make way for others?

Cui Cha thought for a long time, but couldn't let it go.

When Cui Xuan came to visit, Cui Cha decided to share his heart with this nephew.

Cui Cha: "Xuan'er, the Cui family is a bit embarrassed now, you have always been able to tell the difference, are you willing?"

It's good to say half of it, too much death will only increase people's troubles.

Cui Xuan: "Now that the court situation is unclear, the Cui family must not act rashly, otherwise the millennium foundation will be shaken in vain. It is wise to keep a low profile."

Cui Cha: "Xuan'er, tell me, what is your plan?"

Cui Xuan's face was calm, and he said nonsense in a serious manner: "Xuan'er has little talent and learning, and the way of being an official is shallow, and he has absolutely no intention of becoming an official."

Cui Cha chuckled a few times, "If I hadn't seen you grow up since I was a child, seeing what you said was so pertinent, I would have been fooled."

Cui Xuan continued to maintain his pertinence, without saying a word, this visit was just a matter of comforting Cui Shi, someone took care of him all the way, and he arrived safely, presumably there should be no problem.

Cui Cha sighed in his heart, after being with the king, his disposition has changed a lot.

Cui Cha: "In the past, when I was an official in the suburbs of Beijing, I only wanted to become famous and occupy a corner in the family tree. When I came to the Vanity Fair in Chang'an, I thought about it a lot. Now that Zhiti is leaving, it's a little bit better." confused."

As a junior, Cui Xuan is not good at arranging the whereabouts of his elders. Hearing his laments, his heart is also heavy.

Cui Cha: "Xuan'er, now that the Wu brothers are monopolizing the power, and the two princes keep secret, who do you think more?" If you don't plan to become an official now, you have already found a place, where is it?

Cui Xuan didn't want to talk about these things at first, and discussing them is a taboo. "The Wu brothers are nothing but rootless trees with a shallow foundation. They only want to be distinguished at the moment and do not want to offend them. Without the intertwined friendship of the family, their wealth will not last long.

The two princes, King Luling is fatuous and incompetent, and Wu Lun is cowardly, neither of them are wise masters.

Today, the world is still stable, and His Majesty can appoint capable ministers, check the officials and govern, and the people can still be stable.It's just that Lai Junchen, Wu Sansi and others hold great power and rule out dissidents. Liu Rengui is old, but only Di Renjie and Shen Sanwen are the only people who dare to speak out in the court, neither of whom hold important positions.Among the upstarts, Yao Chong and Song Jing are the most talented. Although they are highly valued, they are not liked by His Majesty.Xuan'er also couldn't understand how the court situation would change. "

Cui Cha: "Then Shen Sanwen is just a flatterer, Xuan'er should stay away, lest he get close and be ridiculed."

Cui Xuan: "My nephew thinks that Princess Taiping can become the support of the Cui family in the future."

Cui Cha: "Why does my Cui family need to respect a female class?"

Cui Xuan slandered, isn't the emperor you serve now a woman?

Cui Cha consciously made a slip of the tongue, "Princess is just a princess. Even if Song Jing was recommended, she would not dare to have a close relationship. Your Majesty can sit firmly in the country and has 20 years of political achievements. Princess Taiping absolutely does not have this background." Could it be Taiping? The princess actually moved the same thoughts as Empress Wu?
Cui Xuan: "If the King of Luling and the King of Yin are emperors, Princess Taiping will be at peace, and there is no need to be like Your Majesty."

Cui Cha thought for a moment, "But the king of Luling and the princess are thousands of miles away, so it is inevitable that they will be alienated?"

Cui Xuan: "No problem."

Cui Cha: "Since Xuan Er has made a decision, I am very relieved."

Cui Xuan: "Xuan'er has one more thing to say, then Junchen is ambitious, weaves criminal evidence, is insatiable, and has won His Majesty's trust, but now he can't get an inch in his official position..."

Cui Cha: "But now I am the only one in the Cui family who holds a high position."

Cui Xuan was speechless for a while, the Cui family didn't rely on that one person to support their face, even if the Cui family didn't have a prime minister now, they would have one in the future.Now people with discerning eyes can see things, but people in the game are stunned.

Cui Xuan couldn't help persuading him, "The emperor's heart is like the sea, but uncle's current situation is not good. It's better to resign from office and try it out. Your Majesty agrees, and you can get a bit of dignity." Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Don't understand?

Cui Cha thinks this statement is justified, His Majesty may understand my hard work, is it not allowed?
It was morning on the second day.

Wu Zetian was very surprised that Cui Chaneng resigned, this old man was able to let go. "Now that the world is initially settled, there must be Lao Cuiqing."

Cui Cha's heart sank a bit, if Emperor Wu wanted to stay, he would naturally have to express his attitude clearly, give him a few credits, and then send him a glorious and luxurious gift bag to take home.What is such an unsalty remark against one's will?My heart is cold and cold.

Forget it, Cui Cha kowtowed to the end, concealing the bitterness on his face, "Now that the old minister has relapsed, he is unable to handle the state affairs, and dare not hold a high position. I hope His Majesty's permission."

Emperor Wu asked another heart-warming question: "Who does Cui Qing think can be the prime minister?"

Cui Cha thought for a while, and the matter of Xiao Cui must be a conspiracy by Shen Sanwen, Lai Junchen and others. Liu Rengui sneered, like a hedgehog, and immediately vetoed many people.

Cui Cha: "The veteran thinks that Wu Sansi is brave and decisive, has a lot of insights in political affairs, and has made great achievements in countering rebellion. He can be a minister with all talents in civil and military affairs."

Cui Cha believed that since Emperor Wu had asked him, he still cared about the answer a little bit, and felt disgusted by this group of people when he left.

Emperor Wu was slightly taken aback, when did these two people get involved?
Emperor Wu: "Is there anyone else to recommend?"

Cui Cha: "Lou Shide can be your prime minister."

Lou Shide has made great military achievements, but he has been away from the political center for a long time, and he is above the court without forming a party for personal gain.If there is an opportunity, it can indeed be promoted.

Emperor Wu nodded, "According to Qing's words, to draw up an order, Wu Sansi takes Cui Qing's position."

Knowing this, Wu Lun was taken aback for a while.

　I read until 4:30 in the morning last night, and my back hurts when I woke up, so I still need to go to bed early.Friendly reminder: going to bed early is good for your health.
