Pei Du left, and not long after, Cheng Yi, who had not yet cultivated his cheeky divine skills, couldn't stand the cold gaze that could be seen everywhere in the court, and also chose to leave. The brazen Huangfu is in power and becomes the biggest winner.

Now, the only person who can compete with his Huangfu is only one Cui Qun. However, the first hero of the conquest of Huaixi has still left gloomily, Cui Qun, how long can you hold on?

Cui Qun, who is alone, understands that in terms of qualifications, fame, and talent, he cannot be compared with Pei Du, let alone independently hold up the sky of Datang. Right now, the only thing he can do is to wait, wait for an opportunity, wait for a chance to fight back, wait for a chance to bring down Huangfu Lu, wait for a chance to help Pei Du make a comeback.

Soon, the opportunity came!

On Yan Yingdian, Li Chun said one of his own puzzles, in fact, he has a lot of confusion, some can say, some can't say, today's one certainly belongs to the kind that can be said: Tang Xuanzong, who personally created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, why did it eventually lead to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion?

Cui Qun's heart moved, and the opportunity came. However, although the opportunities are good, the risks are not low. Once you can't fight the snake, you will be bitten by the snake, and when the time comes, you will be the next Pei Du. However, the opportunity was fleeting, and once he missed it, Cui Qun was not sure if he had a chance. Therefore, for the sake of the empire, for the emperor, for Pei Du, and of course, for himself, Cui Qun decided to take a gamble. Cui Qun, attack!

"Everyone thinks that the Anshi Rebellion of Tianbao in the fourteenth year was the beginning of the turmoil in the empire. In fact, in the twenty-fourth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong deposed Zhang Jiuling and appointed Li Linfu full-time, which was the watershed of the empire's prosperity and decline." Cui Qun's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, neither hurried nor slow, calm and calm, and there was a faint hint of murder in his calm and calm.

As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely be able to hear the overtones of Cui Qun's words: Li Chun is Tang Xuanzong, Pei Du is Zhang Jiuling, and Huangfu is Li Linfu!

Of course, Li Chun, who is as smart as a fool, is not a fool, so he understands, but at the moment, he neither intends to recall Pei Du, nor does he want to depose Emperor Fu, for the time being, he does not want to move Cui Qun. Therefore, Li Chun, who understood, didn't say anything, just smiled and quietly defused Cui Qun's deadly attack, of course, the target of the attack was not him, but his favorite Huangfu Hammer.

It seems that Cui Qun's attack was an undefeated ending: he did not bring down the emperor, and he himself was unharmed. However, Cui Qun knew very well that he had lost and lost, because, without looking back, he could clearly feel that there was a pair of vicious eyes staring at him fiercely.

In any case, once the attack starts, it cannot be stopped, unless someone rolls out of Chang'an, whether this person is Huangfu Lu or Cui Qun.

Soon, Cui Qun waited for a second chance, and he believed that this time, he would definitely let that despicable and shameless villain get out, and get out of it completely!

Opportunity, from the batch of silk silk that flowed from the palace to the border soldiers. As soon as these so-called Luo Yu colors arrived in the hands of the border soldiers, they cracked with the wind and turned into countless fragments of rags floating in the wind, like colorful butterflies flying in the sky. It's a pity that the martial artists who guard the border pass are not vassal and elegant literati and ink writers, and they don't appreciate the elegance and taste of the butterfly dance, they only understand one thing: they were tricked, and they were played by those so-called adults from Chang'an.

The rude and unliterate border soldiers, they don't have the fancy intestines of the literati in their stomachs, their way of solving the problem is very simple, it is the most primitive, direct and effective kind, raise the sword in your hand and cut the damn!

Mutiny, just like that, came unexpectedly. This time, the prestige of the festival was no longer able to suppress the angry soldiers, and in desperation, he thought of hanging himself and wiping his neck, wanting to die and thank the world. When the news reached Chang'an, the emperor, who had just recovered his vitality, was immediately enveloped in a layer of panic.

spared no effort to brag and pat the horse, and finally climbed to the peak of power, and before he could catch his breath, the embattled Huangfu found sadly that he had already stood on the cusp. Because, the ins and outs of this matter, everyone on the earth understands that the culpability of Huangfu Gong cannot be relied upon.

It seems that if there is no big accident, he is really in danger. However, the most important thing in this world is accidents, and Huangfu is such a person who is good at creating accidents.

Huang Fu didn't care at all about the overwhelming accusations and insults, the only thing he cared about was whether Li Chun would push himself out and be a scapegoat in order to calm the anger of the public. Therefore, what he needs to do is to find someone to help him carry this black cauldron for himself. Unexpectedly, the person he chose was Cui Qun.

Black cauldron, no one wants to carry it, even if you are his close friend. Cui Qun and Huangfu can only be regarded as colleagues at most, as for friends, forget it, they can't wait to swallow each other alive, you say they are friends, liar? However, Huang Fu firmly believes that Cui Qun will never sit idly by.

Sure enough, Cui Qun did not stand idly by, but enthusiastically stretched out his hands, of course, not to pull the brothers, but to push you, and by the way, step on another foot!

The dog was already standing by the river, as a colleague, Cui Qun stretched out his hands without hesitation, pushed it into the river, turned it into a veritable water dog, and then beat it until it was disabled, scrapped, or even killed, at least, to beat it into a lost dog. Otherwise, once the water dog climbs ashore, it will still bite. It's just that Cui Qun obviously ignored one point, the dog was just standing by the river, and it hadn't fallen into the water yet, and it could bite at any time.

With the spirit of beating the water dogs, Cui Qun took decisive action, and he immediately wrote to Li Chun, asking for punishment of the culprit of this matter, and the spearhead was pointed at Huangfu Lu. This time, he didn't pay attention, and a treacherous smile flashed across Huangfu Lu's face, a treacherous smile that the conspiracy succeeded.

I can't remember which celebrity said that the farthest distance in the world is the distance between hearts. This is not bad at all, for the same thing, Cui Qun sees an opportunity, but what Huangfu Lu sees is a pit, a pit used to deal with Cui Qun. He believed that as long as he had enough patience and waited quietly, Cui Qun would definitely jump down without hesitation.

The reason why Cui Qun and Huangfu have this misunderstanding is because Cui Qun only sees one side of the matter, while Huangfu Lu sees the other side of the matter, the most important side. Yes, the idea was made by Huangfu Lu, and the matter was also done by Huangfu Lu, but all this needs Li Chun's acquiescence and even connivance, otherwise, Huangfu Lu has great courage, and he will not dare. And the reason why Li Chun acquiesced and even connived at Huangfu Hu Lai was because he was the biggest beneficiary of this matter. Therefore, once the matter is big, it is not only the emperor who is weak, but also the emperor who is high. In fact, this should be considered an open secret, as long as you are not an idiot and have a little political common sense, you will understand the mystery in it. It's a pity that Cui Qun was too eager and didn't carefully consider the stakes, so he recklessly wrote to impeach Huangfu. Although his last book was aimed at Huangfu Lu, in Li Chun's eyes, every sentence of the song seemed to hit his sore spot, making him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable all over his body.

Huangfu Yu, who watched the fire, understood that now, Cui Qun had jumped into the pit, and he only needed to fan the wind again, light the fire, and then pour some oil on the fire, and everything would be fine, everything would be ok. The oil to be added to the Huangfu Pole is actually very simple, but it is just a few words, a few words of understatement. Although it was only a few understatements, it poked at Li Chun's weakness every sentence: the clothing and food rewards provided by the imperial court to the border guards were no different from before. The reason why today's situation has occurred is entirely because of Cui Qun's instigation, and in this way, he has hunted a good reputation for himself, but let people gather their anger on the emperor you.

The triumphant Huangfu believed that as long as he said this, Cui Qun would immediately get out of Chang'an, and he would not need to bear any more responsibility, which was really a double win.

It's a pity that although Huangfu guessed the beginning of the story, he didn't guess the end of the story, because he saw the wrong person, a person he should never be wrong, this person is of course the emperor who is high.

In terms of temperament, Li Chun is a strong person, and if a strong person becomes an emperor, he is naturally a strong emperor. Guess what's the most intolerable thing for a strong emperor? That's right, of course, someone shares in his supreme power.

Unfortunately, the emperors of ancient times were far less powerful than we think today. Because, no matter what, it is impossible for any emperor to govern a huge empire by himself, the mighty and domineering Qin Emperor Han Wu can't, the wise and martial Tang Emperor Song Zu can't, the Supreme Hongyan Wu Zetian can't, even a generation of model worker Zhu Yuanzhang can't, needless to say, Li Chun, who has a strong desire for power, can't.

Since they could not govern the country alone, the Son of Heaven had to reluctantly distribute a part of his power to his subordinates, who came together to form a powerful political group, that is, the literati group. The leader and symbol of this literati group is the prime minister, who represents the power held by the literati group and has a proper name, called Xiangquan.

The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was extremely prestigious, and when the officials saw it, they had to bow down, and the prime minister who received the ceremony only needed to stretch out his hand to symbolically support him, known as "the courtesy of the crowd". This made Li Chun very uncomfortable, fortunately, there was not only one prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, but as many as five, so that Li Chun could use the power and wisdom in his hands to skillfully manipulate the prime minister's candidates, so that they could not only operate at high speed and effectively under their own leadership, but also effectively restrain the infinite expansion of the prime minister's power. At this point, Li Chun is like a clever rider, rhythmically controlling the reins in his hands, so that those prime ministers obediently restrain their temperament and move forward bravely according to Li Chun's vision. Whether it is Du Huangshang, Li Jifu, Li Jiang, or Wu Yuanheng, Wei Guanzhi and Pei Du, there are no exceptions. Therefore, Pei Du's departure was not because he made any mistakes, let alone because of his open and secret battles with Cheng Yi and Huangfu Lu, but because his merits were too great, his prestige was too high, and his power was too heavy, which made Li Chun feel a hint of threat.

Now, Pei Du is gone, although Huangfu Lu does not have Pei Du's merits and prestige, he has more power than Pei Du, and the only person who can restrain him is only Cui Qun, so no matter how big a mistake Cui Qun makes, Li Chun will not drive him out of Chang'an, unless, unless Cui Qun himself does not open his eyes and touches Li Chun's bottom line, that disgraceful secret that no one can say.

didn't drive Cui Qun away, Huangfu was very depressed, but Huangfu was Huangfu Rong, and his cunning and treacherous surpassed many righteous gentlemen. He was depressed for three days, meditated for three days, and then suddenly became enlightened, and understood the stakes and disadvantages, and even more insight into Li Chun's thoughts. Now, he believes that he will be able to use Li Chun and drive Cui Qun away, but he still needs to wait, waiting for the opportunity to choke Cui Qun's throat.

Soon, the opportunity came, and it was a friendly gift from Cui Qun!

Huaixi and Ziqing were pacified successively, and the remnants of the mountains and rivers of the late Tang Dynasty were rejuvenated under Li Chun's careful care. The ministers who were obsessed with words began to discuss giving their emperor a badge and giving Li Chun's dragon fart a good pat. When drafting the emblem, Huangfu quietly dug a pit, a pit that looked insignificant, but was actually very large and deep, and he cautiously proposed to add two words to Li Chun's emblem, "filial piety". He knew that Cui Qun, who was full of bookishness, would definitely go against him, and as long as Cui Qun dared to jump out to refute, he would basically die.

The naïve Cui Qun really got into the trap of the emperor, and hurriedly jumped out to oppose it, of course, the reason seems to be very crowning and very magnificent, "The holy word already contains filial piety and virtue, and there is no need to add more." After speaking, Cui Qun looked at Huangfu Rong with contemptuous eyes, as if laughing at his ignorance, but Cui Qun was surprised to see Huangfu Rong laughing, it was the kind of bad smile with bad intentions that succeeded in the treacherous scheme, Cui Qun seemed to understand something, but it was already too late.

Yes, what Huangfu wants is Cui Qun's opposition, and it doesn't matter what reason he uses. Because, when reporting to the emperor, he would peel off the cocoon and refine a sentence: Cui Qun gave you a badge, and he was reluctant to use the word "filial piety".

A simple sentence evoked Li Chun's most painful memories: the cold rain, the flickering candlelight, the motionless corpse on the sickbed, and the night bell of the divine drum that suddenly rang in Xingqing Palace...... Fourteen years, such scenes have invaded his night again and again, and now, the past that seems to be gradually forgotten has once again clearly surfaced in front of him, and this is all because of Cui Qun!

Fourteen years ago, he used an eleven-word epithet to express his guilt towards his father, but this still could not allow him to completely get rid of the condemnation of conscience, who would have thought that the wise and martial Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Chun had an almost neurotic sensitivity to the word "filial piety", and the emperor only used an understatement to hammer the most fragile and sensitive part of Li Chun's heart. At this moment, Cui Qun had no way to stay in Chang'an, and the cunning Huangfu Lu not only used Cui Qun, but also used the smart emperor.

Soon, Cui Qun was sent out to Hunan and served as an observer, and Huangfu Lu ascended to the peak of power as he wished, and no one was his opponent.

However, the powerful Huangfu obviously didn't realize that he had not become the leader of the civil and official group, because he had already stood on the opposite side of the entire scholar class, and at the same time, he had also successfully pushed the inherent contradictions between the monarchs and ministers to a **, the hearts of the civil and military officials were already cold, wow cool wow cool! is not only to the shameless villain who tells right and wrong, but also to the emperor who was once extremely wise.
