August 18, Mao time, Daming Palace.

The sky is still bright, narrow and warm and cold, the whole Chang'an City is still sleeping, the streets are cold and deserted, Cui Hu is dressed in court clothes, the crown is neat, and he goes to the Xuanzheng Palace to go to the court, and the personal guards Lei Ting and Lei Jun accompany him.

In order to block the mouths of some bureaucrats and facilitate Cui Hu's justifiable trial of the Feiqian Gang case, Tang Wenzong promoted Cui Hu to the imperial historian two months ago. The Imperial Historian was in a position of high power, and could impeach officials at least and enforce discipline at worst, which deeply disturbed some high-ranking officials.

At the end of the day, the officials of the previous dynasty came one after another, and the high-grade officials accompanied them with two or three followers, calling and hugging each other, and the low-grade officials walked alone, looking shabby.

Cui Hu originally wanted to fit into the lone team of officials, but he was a person who didn't pay attention to pomp.

Helplessly, Mrs. Jiang Niang had other considerations: Cui Hu served as Jing Zhaoyin, and offended many dark forces, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at Cui Hu in the night. In order to prevent accidents, Jiang Niang asked Lei Ting and Lei Jun to stay in front of and behind Master Cui to ensure the safety of her husband.

In front of the Xuanzheng Palace, there is an endless stream of lanterns from the upper court, like a little starry.

Cui Hu stared at the majestic palace gate, and his thoughts fluctuated. Today's dynasty may determine the fate of Cui Hu in the second half of his life, and now that the Lingnan Festival is vacant, Tang Wenzong intends to send Cui Hu to take over. The case of the Flying Money Gang has just come to an eyebrow, but it is in a hurry to transfer Cui Hu out of Chang'an. I don't know what the Holy Lord's considerations are.

At the time of the hour, in the Xuanzheng Palace, the eunuch read a holy decree:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: the son of Li Sheng, the king of Xiping County, Li Xian, the envoy of Lingnan Jiedu, is a clear and forgiving person, proficient in law, and has made outstanding political achievements. Cui Hu, the former imperial historian, was an honest official and strictly enforced the law, and was immediately canonized as the envoy of the Lingnan Festival. ”

Cui Hu received the order, he always opposed the establishment of the festival envoy, but the official career played a joke with him, let him be the official to the festival envoy, and support the army.

Cui Hu has no choice, his fate has been tightly tied to the fate of the Tang Empire, and it is linked to the share of glory and disgrace, rise and fall.

Before leaving Chang'an, Cui Hu met with Jiang Tao and expressed his distress to her. Cui Hu went to Liangguang to take up his post, and he was most relieved to be Mrs. Jiang

Mother. In the third year of Taihe, Liangguang is still a wild land, on the one hand, it is necessary to expand the territory, on the other hand, it is necessary to resist foreign enemies, and the task is heavy and long, and it is not wise to take the family to the post. Cui Hu only brought two personal guards on this trip, and his wife Jiang Niang temporarily lived in Chang'an, and when the situation in Lingnan opened, he would send someone to pick up Jiang Niang.

Cui Hu asked Jiang Tao to take care of Jiang Niang on his behalf, and Jiang Tao rejected Cui Hu for only one reason: she wanted to protect Cui Hu to go to Liangguang.

Cui Hu was shocked, and he didn't know why Jiang Tao suddenly had this thought. Although the Flying Money Gang case has revealed the tip of the iceberg, it is still thousands of miles away from the truth. It is urgently needed that Jiang Tao take the lead, unite with the Beijing division to patrol and capture, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and pry the iceberg.

Jiang Tao insisted on his opinion: Cang'er led the Fengyun two cards to catch the four tips of the hibiscus to find the key, with the assistance of Du Sanye and Biandan, and the treasure was just around the corner; The short knife is stationed in the patrol room, blocking one side; There is also news that the pole is about to return to Beijing. As for Mrs. Cui, Jiang Tao said that she sent someone to take care of her, and even did better than herself.

Cui Hu also rejected Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao bit her lower lip, and a faint sadness was locked between her eyebrows. After being silent for a long time, Jiang Tao threw down a sentence: "Over the years, my real mission has been to protect you, and it has been like this in the past, and it will be the same in the future." ”

Peach turned to leave.

Cui Hu looked at the slender back of the peach, the sun was thinning, and the peach was dissolving into one color with the earth, Cui Hu was stunned. I don't know when Cui Hu will think of the peach blossoms in the suburbs of Chang'an as long as he sees the peach, and he will think of the peach blossoms in the suburbs of Chang'an.

※ In the tenth year of Zhenyuan, Cui Hu went to Beijing for the first time to take the exam, and his answer sheet surprised the invigilator. Cui Hu answered the wrong answer, digressed for thousands of miles, and dared to criticize the various shortcomings of the festival on the test paper. The invigilator was so shocked that he didn't dare to make up his own mind, and handed in the answer sheet step by step.

The answer sheet finally fell into the hands of Li Shi of Tang Dezong, Li Shi at a glance, Long Ting was furious, all the civil and military officials were like ashes, everyone was worried, and the candidate Cui Hu was only afraid that the head would fall to the ground, and the door would be beheaded, and the nine clans would be connected.

After Li Shi sent a fire, he ordered no one in the court to mention this matter again, and if it was leaked, he would be severely punished and would not be merciful. Today's emperor actually let go of Cui Hu, a candidate who provoked the Tang Dynasty, and the civil and military officials were puzzled.

In fact, Li Shi has long been suspicious of the festivals in various places, just imagine: Pinglu, Fanyang, Hedong, Shuofang, Longyou, Hexi, Anxi, Beiting, Jiannan, Lingnan and other places are the absolute governors of the region, not to mention the expansion of the sphere of influence, and are gradually getting out of the control of the power center of the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Shi not be frightened?

Cui Hu was a scholar, but he was worried about the fate of the Tang Empire, and took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the exam, he analyzed in detail the various drawbacks of the establishment of the Jiedu Envoy: the Jiedu made the troops arrogant and divided one side, which made them reckless and unreasonable to the power center of the Tang Dynasty. Jiedu made his subordinates more arrogant, drove commanders and killed envoys, and military mutinies occurred from time to time, and once reached the peak, which was a very dangerous signal.

Cui Hu suggested: The border of the Tang Dynasty was pacified, and there was no need to station so many troops, and the Daming Palace should take back the military power of the envoys in various regions, and prevent them from secretly taking power in remote areas, and garrisoning troops to prevent loss of control. Once out of control, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is very likely to become the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

Tang Dezong Li Shi had to admire Cui Hu's courage and strategy, but Cui Hu only knew one thing, but he didn't know the other: because the envoys of various places had been in the local area for a long time, they were familiar with the local situation, which was undoubtedly conducive to the management and stability of these areas. If the appointment of the Jiedu envoy is withdrawn, in the event of regional turmoil and foreign invasion, the court will be exhausted and overwhelmed. Tang Dezong Li Shi only hoped that the local festival would take the Tang Emperor's cause as the priority, think about the people of the Tang Dynasty, never forget the original intention, and fulfill the responsibility of guarding the country and the country.

※Cui Hu's name is Sun Shan, but he is complacent, full of ambition, living in Chang'an, looking forward to trying again next year, and reassuring his arms and ambitions.

Spring is blooming, Cui Hu heard that the suburbs of Chang'an are beautiful, peach and willow green, mandarin ducks play in a pool of clear water, just like heaven and earth, can't help but swim out of Chang'an City.

Spring has been thick, the spring is enchanting, the breeze caresses the willows, and there is a charming scene in front of you: "The demon boy and the girl, frolicking in the river meander, or vibrating the slender hands, or the wet plain feet." ”

Cui Hu followed their example, put his hand into the river, the river gently overflowed his palm, under the reflection of the water, his face was spotless, as clear as the clear moon, beautiful as a spring flower.

Cui Hu picked up a pinch of clear water, kneading the surface of the river, and also messing up the hearts of those beautiful girls on the riverside, and the young Cui Hu has since become a dream in their hearts that they never want to wake up.

Cui Hu wandered all the way south, and he couldn't see the endless bright spring light, and he got lost unconsciously. Cui Leg Guard was sour and thirsty, and just wanted to find a water source to take a sip of water to drink.

There is a farm in front, a large piece of peach blossoms is planted in front of the house and behind the house, the peach blossoms are blooming, just like the woman who has just opened her love, her eyes are affectionate and a little shy, Cui Hu is moved, and she sped up her pace to the depths of the peach blossoms.

On this day, Jiang Tao had just returned from studying art in Jiulu Mountain, she took a hot bath, changed into a plain cloth clothes, and did not apply fat powder.

Jiang Tao took a look at the bronze mirror, and saw that the person in the mirror had delicate skin, white and red, beautiful eyes, and autumn waves, so that she didn't dare to look directly, and she was embarrassed to lower her head.

Then, then, Jiang Tao heard someone knock on the door knocker, once, twice, Jiang Tao was surprised: the old father went to visit relatives and friends, and her cousin Jiang Niang said that she would come to meet her tomorrow, can't she wait, come early?
