Chapter 509: The Difficulties of the Temperance Envoy
Hearing this, Wang Qi's face sank, and a cold wind suddenly rose in the hall, blowing people subconsciously wrapped the robes on their bodies.
"What do you mean by this?" he asked in a deep voice, with a bit of coldness in his words.
This sentence obviously stimulated him, and his old man was unhappy - this time it was genuinely unhappy, not like the previous times when he deliberately pretended to scare Cui Pu.
Cui Pu was still that heartless and heartless virtue, and said with a smile: "It's not interesting! Concubine Wu Hui has passed away for so many years, and the saint can be regarded as having found a person who suits her again, and now she is making a big fanfare, which shows the saint's love for her." If you go to join in the fun at this time, you will definitely be able to please the concubines and saints. As far as the lower officials know, An Lushan, the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, has already prepared twenty carts of generous gifts, along with 100 Maiko musicians, and will soon be sent to Chang'an with great fanfare. ”
"What about you? Do you want to send another copy of "On the Book of the Sage to the Concubine" to the sage?" Wang Qi asked rhetorically.
Cui Pu smiled and hurriedly waved his hand. "The book four years ago had already hurt me miserably, so I didn't continue to kill myself! People can be willful, but they can't be too willful. Otherwise, if you can't keep it, how can you make other great developments?"
"Then you are still fooling the old man?" Wang Qi glared at him viciously.
Cui Pu hurriedly gave up his hand to apologize. "It's the lower official who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Temperance makes you upright, and you will never compromise on such filthy things. ”
"You don't have to provoke the old man, the old man knows what you mean. Wang Qi glanced at him again, but his tone was much softer, "This An Lushan is the best at drilling camps, and he has taken the path of Li Linfu again, and now he has coaxed the saints around." This time, the saint was crowned a concubine, and he went to have fun again, and he would inevitably be rewarded by the saint and the concubine, and he would have a bright future in the future. Now the world is really unfair, the saint is addicted to beauty and sex, the government is controlled by traitors, and there are such faceless and skinless people outside, and the country of my New Tang Dynasty is worried!"
Cui Pu also sighed.
It is true that he just said those words to test the meaning of Wang Qi. The adultery between the saint and the Taizhen concubine is already a well-known secret of the new Tang Dynasty. But after all, the saint hadn't given her the title yet, and the two of them secretly interacted, and everyone turned a blind eye. But now, the saint actually gave King Shou a marriage on the front foot, and the back foot was impatient to give Concubine Taizhen a concubine. It must be known that the name of the concubine has been deposed for many years, but now it has been found by the saint and placed on Concubine Taizhen, which shows how obsessed he is with Concubine Taizhen.
This is definitely not a good sign. And since the death of Queen Wang, the harem has been without a queen for decades. When Concubine Wu Hui was there, Concubine Wu Hui was in charge of the harem. Now that Concubine Wu Hui is dead, Yang Guifei has been born again. This concubine is always equal to the queen. It can be seen that the saint's favor for Yang Guifei is greater than that of Concubine Wu Hui, and the consequences of this must be amazing!
"Temperance makes you calm your anger. In fact, Xia Guan didn't mean anything else when he asked you, just because he just got the news, Xia Guan was angry in his heart, and he always wanted to find someone to talk to. But looking at it, only you can speak freely here, so the lower official came here with a cheeky face, and please don't blame the lower official for being young and ignorant. Cui Pu hurriedly saluted.
Wang Qi waved his hand. "Just for what you did when you were the prefect of Yangzhou, the old man won't be too harsh on you. It's just that now that the saint is old, he is more and more stubborn, and he is so arrogant and lascivious, that the old man can't listen to his words. In this case, the old man can only pretend not to see it and deceive himself. ”
Yes, now they can only deceive themselves. Cui Pu said secretly.
"But!" Wang Qi immediately flicked his sleeves again, "This An Lushan, the old man just looks down on him." No matter who he climbs on, his identity as a miscellaneous beard is also well known, and this kind of person is not trustworthy because of his wolf ambitions. Whenever there is a chance, the old man will join him, and he must eradicate this scourge!"
Hey, even a veteran like Wang Qi saw An Lushan's ambitions, but the saints who had read countless people were not at all guarded. Is he really old?
Cui Pu shook his head, so he didn't say anything more, but changed the topic with a smile: "By the way, when the lower official heard that Jiedu made you lead your troops over Qilian Mountain and capture the Turkic leader alive, you played a very beautiful game with one hand and two guns. I wonder if Xia Guan will have a chance to see it today?"
"Yo, it's rare that you still want to play with guns?" Wang Qi was surprised when he heard this.
Cui Pu smiled: "Xia Guan has been involved in these things, but he is not very familiar with them, but he is just practicing and playing." However, since I have met an expert today, I naturally want to seize the opportunity to ask you for more advice. ”
"It's great that you can have this heart. Wang Qi bowed, "But the old man is old, and this gun is almost gone." However, the old man's grandson has been learning guns from the old man all these years, and he has a bit of the old man's level back then, if you don't dislike it, let him learn a few tricks with you!"
"Okay, okay!" Cui Pu nodded hurriedly. What he wants is to learn, as long as he can learn and improve, it doesn't matter who he is.
Seeing this, Wang Qi's eyes darkened again, so he instructed the little servant: "Go and invite Jiulangjun to come." ”
This afternoon, Cui Pu spent the battle with Wang Jiulangjun.
By the time he took his leave in the afternoon, he was already exhausted, and his whole body was paralyzed in the carriage, and he could not even ride the horse.
After sending them out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Wang Qi turned back to his wife and asked, "How is it?"
Mrs. Jiedu nodded hurriedly: "Okay! Smart and clever, low-key and calm, if I hadn't known her origin, I really wanted to be a lady carefully raised by a big family." What about you, sir?"
"Not bad, either. This young man is full of resilience, and he also learned some skills with Guo Jingzhi in those years. It's not fine, but it's okay to kill enemies now. Moreover, there are very few people who can fight with Jiulang and have been defeated repeatedly. If nothing else, the land west of the river will depend on him in the future. Wang Qi said in a low voice.
The festival made the lady surprised. "Sir......, do you think so highly of him?
"If that man is as good as him, if he has half the ability of this kid, he wouldn't have to come up with such a way to smear the reputation of the new assassin at this age. Wang Qi drank coldly.
The lady nodded. "Yes. I have also seen that Mrs. Zhan, and she is far inferior to this little lady. If this couple continues to develop like this, maybe the border pass will be saved. ”
"Don't worry, they will. Wang Qi said.
"Master, are you so sure?" the festival made the lady slightly startled.
"It's not that I'm sure, but Zhang Bowu and Hachiro are all sure, so I'm naturally as sure as they are. Wang Qi said, and raised his head, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
This smile is not gorgeous, nor is it brilliant at all, so it blooms on Wang Qi's wrinkled old face, but it softens his hard facial features a lot, and it also makes him a little angry.
"This young man, with a much smoother temperament than me, will definitely be able to do something more eye-catching than me in the future, I'll just wait and see. He seemed to be talking to himself.
Seeing this, the lady also laughed. "Since you said so, master, then the concubine is also waiting to see it with you. ”
Let's talk about Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao's side.
The two of them rode out of the Jiedu Embassy and saw a person standing at the side door.
He was dressed in a homely black robe, holding a horse in his hand, and stood there alone, looking so sad and lonely.
But he didn't make up his mind at all, and there was still a little color on his face.
Seeing the side door open, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stood on tiptoe to take a look. But when he saw clearly that it was a carriage and that it was surrounded by people from the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, his face turned white again, and he subconsciously shrank his feet back, as if this would reduce his sense of existence.
Where will Cui Pu let him hide?
He immediately stopped the carriage and horses, then lifted the curtain and beckoned to the other side: "Who does this assassin Shi say, it turns out to be Zhan Sima! Since you are here, why don't you go in and sit down? How lonely it is to stand alone outside, if you come, we may be able to get together and drink." With that, he was content and burped.
Zhan Sima hated itchy.
If he could get in, would he still be standing outside stupidly?
Today, I heard that Cui Pu came to meet the envoy of the festival, so he hurriedly came. But who knows, after Cui Pu entered first, he was actually stopped outside! He said all the good things, and the porter only said that 'Jiedu makes a distinguished guest today' and sent him away. Isn't that guest Cui Pu? Just a subordinate official, what is valuable? But it is undeniable that this title has made him half dead.
He hurriedly asked the little servant to find a helper, but the marching Sima, who usually responds to his needs, did not appear at all this time, but instead asked him to take a step back.
How can he retreat?
Cui Pu had already slapped him in the face in public last time, and he wanted to pretend to be sick and teach him a lesson, but to no avail. That is, he has already lost twice in a row. If this time, let people see Cui Pu and his backer Yan Yan smiling again, and he, the red man in front of him, who was originally a festival envoy, can only shrink in a corner and dare not come out to meet people, then his face will be completely lost! He will not have to meet people in Liangzhou in the future!
As a result, it's good now, he didn't see the face of the envoy, but he was humiliated by the kid in front of him.
Zhan Sima took a deep breath and stepped forward to salute: "The lower official is late, and he doesn't dare to disturb the assassination of Shi and Jiedu to drink, so he plans to wait a little outside." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little guy next to Wang Qi coming over and said, "Zhan Sima, the envoy of the festival is invited." ”
Zhan Sima was instantly refreshed, and the eyes of the two parties, which were still full of resentment, were immediately full of vitality, and even the eyes that looked at Cui Pu were a little more arrogant - see, there is still me in the eyes of the Jiedu envoy! Now that you just sent me away, you took me in, and this is already the biggest face for me!
He hurriedly saluted Cui Pu again: "The envoy of the festival has summoned the lower official, and the lower official will leave." Be careful all the way. ”
Seeing this person proudly raise his feet and leave, Cui Pu shook his head and lowered the curtain: "Let's go!"
With this kind of person, he is too lazy to waste his saliva anymore.
