Chapter 124: Cui Chengxiu visits Chongguo's mansion at night
Cui Chengxiu returned to the mansion, very proud in his heart, during this time, it was very smooth, the emperor supported himself everywhere, this time he seized the opportunity to clean up Cui Yingyuan, it was really a good time, not only can he take the opportunity to cut off an important minion of Wei Zhongxian, but also establish his majesty in the court, take the opportunity to win over his own Cui Party, if the effect is good, he can even pull Wei Zhongxian's "two tigers" and "two biao" into his command.

The matter was handed over to Wang Zhizheng to preside over the trial, there was nothing to worry about, after all, he had the handle that could lead to Wang Zhizheng's death, but Cui Chengxiu was still not at ease, he was afraid that Wang Zhizheng would be intimidated by Wei Zhongxian's obscenity and change his hexagram on the spot, after all, in politics, there are too many variables, and he must be 100% insured for this matter.
Immediately, Cui Chengxiu ordered to prepare a sedan chair, and then went straight to Wang Zhizheng's Chongguo Mansion in a grand manner.
When he arrived at the Chongguo Mansion, Cui Chengxiu handed over the name post, and the attendant Zhou Cheng quickly ran over and bowed down and said with a smile: "Yo! Cui Shangshu is here, please come in quickly." ā
Cui Chengxiu smiled and said, "Zhou Cheng, where is your adult?"
Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, my family went to the prince of Qi Guo to drink and listen to music tonight, and he hasn't returned yet." ā
Cui Chengxiu stopped, and felt uneasy in his heart: "Hmm, your family is not in the house?"
Zhou Cheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes! Go to Yangxinlou to drink and listen to music, they will have a party and have fun together every ten days and a half months, and it just so happens that tonight the prince of Qi Guo and the prince of Chenghou went to the party." ā
Cui Chengxiu nodded, and asked uneasily: "I received the holy decree today, and tomorrow there will be important matters to be handled with Lord Wang, thinking that I will come to discuss and discuss tonight." Your family has a really big heart. ā
Zhou Cheng smiled and invited Cui Chengxiu into the house: "Actually, my family has instructed that if he has something to do after he goes out, he will ask Mr. Cui Shun Cui to meet him on his behalf." ā
Hearing this, Cui Chengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was good to meet Cui Shun, he also understood that Cui Shun was a hardcore cronie of the three generations of Chongguo's ancestors.
So, Cui Chengxiu took the tea and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay to talk to Mr. Cui." ā
Zhou Cheng said yes and went out, went to the door, and nodded to Liu Qingqing, who was standing behind the house.
Liu Qingqing nodded, responded, and then walked back to Wang Zhizheng's study.
She pushed open the study, only to see Wang Zhizheng, Cui Shun and Jiang Nai, Master Qin four people sitting around the fire, Cui Shun holding a dry tobacco pouch and swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Wang Zhizheng was wearing an idle wide robe, holding a copy of "Warring States Policy" in his hand, looking calm and relaxed, Master Qin was holding a teacup and tasting tea, and Jiang Nai was studying Go with a chess game. All four of them looked at ease.
Liu Qingqing smiled slightly: "Master, Cui Chengxiu is here." ā
Wang Zhizheng took the book, raised his head and looked at Liu Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Lao Cui really looks like he can't hold his breath. ā
Cui Shun knocked the cigarette ash, hung the dry tobacco pouch on his waist, and then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go and meet Cui Shaobao in the next place." ā
Jiang Nai smiled and said, "Go and feed Cui Shaobao a pill to calm the mind, so as not to scream with excitement and lose sleep at night!"
As soon as Jiang Nai's words fell, the three of them laughed.
Cui Shun walked out with his hands behind his back, Liu Qingqing smiled slightly, walked to Wang Zhizheng's side, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for the three of them.
Jiang Nai smiled and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, just make tea and let the maid come, you are tired for a day, go and rest." ā
Liu Qingqing smiled: "It's not in the way." ā
Wang Zhizheng looked at Liu Qingqing with a smile and said: "You can't let the maid come, I have set the rules here, and everyone is not allowed to listen to any confidential discussion, except for Zhou Cheng, Zhou Gong and Qingqing." ā
Cui Shun followed Zhou Cheng into the living room, and saw Cui Chengxiu waiting with a tea cup, so he walked forward with a smile and gave a deep salute: "Cui Shun see Cui Shaobao." ā
Cui Chengxiu smiled, stood up and returned the salute, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cui's name, Cui has heard of it for a long time, and he can be described as highly respected and respected for supporting the third grandson of Chongguo. ā
Cui Shun took out a dry tobacco pouch from his waist, and Zhou Cheng made a fire and lit a cigarette for Cui Shun.
Cui Shun took a deep puff of dry smoke and said with a smile: "Cui Shaobao has a reputation!"
Cui Chengxiu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is also surnamed Cui, please take the liberty of asking which one it is?"
Cui Shun smiled and said, "Isn't it from the Cui clan in Jizhou, what about Cui Shaobao?"
Cui Chengxiu laughed: "It turns out that you and I belong to our own family, and we are also from the Cui family in Jizhou." What is your seniority?"
Cui Shun smiled, thinking to himself, this Cui Chengxiu is really good at relationships, he has long been Cui Chengxiu and his own family, but he has no interest in Cui Chengxiu
He took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "No, it's a writer, Cui Shaobao is a writer, right?"
Cui Chengxiu nodded and said with a smile: "In terms of seniority, I should call you uncle." ā
Saying that, Cui Chengxiu actually stood up and respectfully gave Cui Shun a family gift, Cui Shun quickly helped Cui Chengxiu up and said with a smile: "Cui Shaobao is more polite." You are a first-class member and the prince Shaobao, the emperor still needs to call you teacher, what kind of thing am I Cui Shun!"
After Cui Shun and Cui Chengxiu greeted each other, the two sat opposite each other, with a tea table in the middle, and Zhou Chengli made and poured tea.
Cui Chengxiu picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This Maojian tea from Shenzhou tastes fresh and refined, it is really the best in tea, especially in early spring, it is really smooth to drink, just like the growth of all things in early spring!"
Cui Shun listened to Cui Chengxiu's recitation of the "Book of Tea", and knew that Cui Chengxiu was a person who understood tea, so he smiled and said: "Shaobao, you are right, this Maojian tea is purchased from Shenzhou by Zhou Gong, a family member, if you like it and are used to drinking, I will ask Zhou Gong to send you two catties." ā
Cui Chengxiu laughed and said: "How dare you, how dare you, let Zhou Gong send two catties, how many silver taels should be paid, I ordered the account room to pay it." ā
The nonsense is almost the same, Cui Chengxiu saw that Cui Shun still didn't mention the topic of arraignment of Cui Yingyuan, and he was a little anxious.
He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I came here today, mainly because I received the holy decree, and I need to thoroughly investigate the case of Lai Xianchen handled by Cui Yingyuan with Master Cui, because Cui Yingyuan will be arraigned tomorrow, so I will discuss it with Lord Wang today." ā
After listening to this, Cui Shun said with a smile: "Shaobao, this matter, my family has already explained, let Shaobao have any orders, just tell me, he will definitely do it." ā
Cui Chengxiu smiled and said, "Hmm." Of course, the order can't be called, Chengxiu just came to remind Lord Wang, it is the emperor's intention to interrogate Cui Yingyuan, Lord Wang must see the situation clearly and not be partial. Feeling the holy will and taking a good stand, I think Mr. Cui should also agree, right?"
Cui Shun said with a smile: "Shaobao, my family has explained, whatever you ask, he will do it, so I will only present your original words to the adults." ā
Cui Chengxiu didn't know why Wang Zhizheng sold Guanzi, but since Cui Shun repeatedly said that no matter what he said, Wang Zhizheng would definitely do it, and it was not good to say anything more.
Cui Chengxiu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Since Lord Wang has already made his position, Cui is relieved." ā
Cui Shun smiled: "Please Cui Shaobao let go of a hundred hearts." ā
Cui Chengxiu put down the teacup, stood up with a smile and hugged his fists and said, "It's not early, Chengxiu won't bother, goodbye." ā
Then turned around and walked out, Cui Shun sent him to the door, and saw Cui Chengxiu bow into the sedan chair and walk away, Cui Shun showed a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth. Then he raised the sleeves of his robe and walked towards Wang Zhizheng's study.
