509 Borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha

The closer you get to Chang'an, the more prosperous you are, and the closer you get to the political center, the more opportunities for promotion.

For others, with Cui Shang's promise, he would have been satisfied, although he was located in Jiangnan, only if he was in a position, he would have entered the right track, boiled up his qualifications, had a pulse in his activities, and then looked for a suitable opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, which means that he could wait, but Chai Shao himself is a relative of the emperor, and his starting point is much higher than others, so he is naturally not satisfied with sending his beloved son to a wild place, so Chai Shao does not have to think about it at all, and immediately refuses.

Cui Shang had long expected that he would refuse, Wen Yan looked at the thing in his arms, gently shook the grandma sake in the cup with his hand, and asked casually: "I don't know Chai Shaoqing, where do you usually like to play?" ”

"Dogs like to love home, and the places to play are not far away, such as Qizhou, Luozhou, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, these places, he said that the scenery is good."

The sky is full of prices, and the money is repaid on the ground, Cui Jing wants to use the wild places of Liuzhou and Juzhou to send away, and Chai Shao directly asks for those famous cities, Luozhou is Luoyang, which is the capital, like Zhengzhou and Xuzhou, which are all populous, rich in products, and economically prosperous in Shangzhou, and the scholars have all collapsed for these good places, and now most of them are firmly controlled by the scholars of the seven clans and five surnames, how can it be so easy to be willing to divide the Lu, besides, such a good place, even Li Er may not be willing to toss the children of Chai Lingwu.

I really dare to open my mouth.

Forget it, let's get straight to the point.

"General Chai, you also know that although some places are good, there are too many restrictions, too many people are staring, and if you make a mistake, a small thing can make trouble for a long time, and it is not a good thing, I heard that Weizhou is good. It is a historical city, close to Chang'an, with a large population and a prosperous economy, among the more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, it belongs to Shangzhou. Cui Jing directly said his plan.

Weizhou is located in the east of Chang'an, in the territory of present-day northern Henan. The geographical location mainly includes Xinxiang, Hebi and other places in Henan. Because it is located in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is called Weizhou, and the governance office has been in Ji County (now Weihui, Henan) for a long time, which belongs to the Central Plains from the geographical location, and the culture is prosperous. Zhou is the land of Gyeonggi. Since the spring and autumn period. Wei Guo and Zheng Guo face each other across the river, and Zheng Wei Civilization is a strip of water. Although Zheng Wei and the two countries are bounded by the Yellow River. Culturally similar. All belong to the vassal states of the Central Plains. Five generations later, it was divided into Weizhou and Zhengzhou.

The ancestors of Weizhou are good at music, and the "Wei Feng" in the "Book of Songs" is a portrayal of the life of the ancient Weidi, and the music of Zheng Wei also originated here, and there have been celebrities such as the ancient loyal minister Bigan, the military strategist Jiang Shang (Jiang Ziya), and the Warring States politician Shang Ying, which is a famous city with a long history.

I heard that Cui Shang actually pushed Chai Lingwu to Weizhou as an official. Chai Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, although it is not as good as the famous cities and big cities of Naluozhou and Xuzhou, but it is also a very good Shangzhou, Cui Shang can say it. High power, great responsibility, so many people are staring, Chai Lingwu is still inexperienced as an official, and he may not be able to handle interpersonal and government affairs well, even if he does it, it may not be able to last long, and Weizhou is not big or small for Chai Lingwu, and the future is bright enough, so he can't refuse.

To be honest, Cui Shang said this, but it showed his sincerity, that is, to push Chai Lingwu to a high position, when the Shi clan did not cooperate, the government decree was not smooth, and there were people who raised him for everything, up fast, down fast, Chai Shao didn't dare to underestimate Cui Shang, these scholars: people even dared to threaten the emperor, let alone himself?

It's just that

Chai Shao said with some concern: "Cui Shangshu, this Weizhou is good, but the famous flower has a master, the history of the king of Weizhou, is in the prime of life, young and strong, Weizhou is under his governance, thriving, outstanding political achievements, I'm afraid there is some difficulty, as the saying goes, rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix, if you are just a deputy, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate." Chai Shao stopped playing dark riddles, and said it directly.

The meaning is very simple, Weizhou can accept it, but the premise is that he can only be a leader, that is, the position of the assassin history, it is not possible to be under the people, the king of the assassin history, the background is not simple, from the Taiyuan Wang family, is the distant nephew of the official Shangshu, the background is deep and capable, for a while to let him fall, to make room for a while, it is not an easy task, besides, it is not to say that the scholars are hugging together, and now they are going to their own people, is it possible?

Cui Shang said with a smile: "A young talent like Chai Shaoqing is naturally capable of taking on the heavy responsibility of a state, as for the current Wang Thorn History, I think" Speaking of the back, Cui Shang leaned close to Chai Shao's ear and whispered, that Chai Shao nodded again and again when he heard the words, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Now Cui Shang has a few things to do: distribute benefits, return to the court, resolve the dispute between Liu Yuan and Chai Lingwu, get Liu Yuan out of the Yongzhou Mansion, and prepare for the upcoming wedding.

To solve Liu Yuan and Chai Lingwu's confused debt, at present, it must be compensated, so many things, under Cui Shang's plan, it has become borrowing flowers to worship Buddha, of course, the "flower" is from the Taiyuan Wang family: take the Weizhou controlled by the Taiyuan Wang family as an apology, push Chai Lingwu to the throne, one to satisfy the Chai family, and successfully rescue Liu Yuan, and the other can also severely punish the Taiyuan Wang family who saw the wind and turned the rudder, which is a double eagle with one stone on the surface.

And in fact, overthrowing the Wang Thorn History, will use the strength of the Chai family, so that you can get close to the Chai family, win over one more ally, and have one more friend in the court, one less enemy, with the help of the Chai family's strength, suppress the restless Taiyuan Wang family, and also help stabilize the status of the Qinghe Cui clan, the most important point, that Wang Thorn Shi falls, will definitely liquidate a large number of cronies who follow him, there are not many excellent children of the Chai family, and Weizhou is close to Qinghe, just in the name of helping to arrange the children of the clan to enter, That Chai Lingwu did Weizhou Assassin History, just for gilding, and as soon as he left in the future, the position would naturally be vacant, and at that time, Weizhou was estimated to have been controlled by the children who were arranged to go in, and after operating, Weizhou fell into the hands of the Qinghe Cui clan.

A seemingly simple punishment is actually the result of careful calculation and multi-party planning, which is the way of being an official.

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, everything is arranged by Cui Shangshu" Chai Shao didn't think so much, and he didn't think so far, now he, after listening to the plan that Cui Shang told him, he was very happy in his heart, obviously. It is indeed not difficult to have the cooperation of the Chai clan and the Shi clan headed by the Cui clan to pull down the thorn history of a state, and the thought that his son can turn from an idle position to a thorn history of Shangzhou is naturally very happy.

"Cui Shangshu, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, so much evidence was collected for the surname Wang Assassin Shi, and it was really unfathomable, and it didn't leak." Chai Shao couldn't help but admire.

Cui Shang smiled. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "The gap between our two clans has been around for a long time, that is, it was obtained by chance, and now it is just right to use it, and then Chai Shaoqing." No, it should be called the firewood assassin to say. Take more care of my Qinghe Cui family's children. ”

Weizhou and Qinghe are not far apart. The Taiyuan Wang clan has recently had the intention to replace the Qinghe Cui clan, and fought with the Qinghe Cui clan openly and secretly, the Qinghe Cui clan is naturally not a vegetarian, and sent someone to collect evidence against the Taiyuan Wang clan early in the morning, which happened to come in handy this time.

"Definitely. The dog took the lead for the first time, and he was inexperienced, but if Lord Shangshu didn't say it, Chai also wanted Cui Shangshu to support him more. ”

"Bang". The two wine glasses touched in the air, making a crisp sound.

"Cheers"

"Cheers"

The two drank it all, then subconsciously turned the cup down, and then laughed together, and a deal was made at the dinner table

"The minister sees the emperor" today is the fifteenth, the Shuowang Dynasty, the day of the monthly pilgrimage, in Beijing civil and military officials above the nine grades to participate in the court meeting, civil and military officials gathered together, when Li Eryi went to the court, together to salute him.

Looking at the black and oppressive civil and military officials in the hall, which was very different from the sky swinging in the court a few days ago, Li Er's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, the Qing family is flat." ”

Qinghe Cui's family, sure enough, was a hundred responses, when they took sick leave, those scholars followed to make trouble, those who resigned resigned, those who took sick leave, the court was a little empty, yesterday just released goodwill, today these people are all back, but this is good, it will be solved one day earlier, and Datang will be on the right track one day sooner.

Without waiting for the hundred officials to speak, Li Er said with a majestic face: "A few days ago, some unpleasant things happened, which affected the operation of the imperial court, but the matter has passed, I ordered, the past is over, no one is allowed to mention this matter again, violators will be severely punished, and all the ministers will work together to build the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Obey the order" Everyone hurriedly saluted and received the order.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, Li Er now said it generously, and said that he didn't mention the past and could continue the future, which means that Li Er will not settle accounts after the fall, and he will not blame the public, which can put down a big stone in everyone's hearts. ”

"Where's Choi Sang?"

"The minister is here." Cui Shang hurriedly walked out of the team and saluted Li Er, who was high above.

Li Er said lightly: "Cui Aiqing is on sick leave, and the household department is in a mess, and you are limited to deal with it within three days, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Obey."

"Where is Cui Jing?"

Cui Jing hurriedly walked out of the team, made a salute, and said loudly: "The minister is here"

"After Aiqing left, the Ministry of Industry was in a mess, and the progress of Daming Palace also fell, and you will be allowed to return to normal in ten days" Li Er said jokingly: "If not, I will not approve your marriage leave, and I won't see my beloved daughter marrying at that time, so don't complain about me." ”

The civil and military officials present were all amused by Li Er's humorous words, and for a while, the serious atmosphere in the court was diluted a lot, and many people tensed their nerves and relaxed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers must do their best to catch up with the progress." Cui Jing hurriedly responded.

Li Er said a few words of relief and encouragement, and then said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, Aiqing, do you have something important to do?" ”

Chai Shao glanced at an official surnamed Zhao behind him, and the official nodded lightly, walked out of the queue, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." (To be continued......)
