And no matter what kind of trouble these people will make behind their backs, anyway, now that Zhan Sima and Liu Zhifu are back, in order to show that they are the most suitable people for the current position, the two of them have just taken up their posts and solved the mountains of things in the mansion beautifully, and the government machinery of Liangzhou Mansion has begun to operate as usual.

The current problem was solved, and Cui Pu took the time to take Mu Jiaojiao to visit the envoy of Hexi Jiedu.

The current envoy of Hexi Jiedu is called Wang Qi, who is the queen of Langya and is also an old friend of the Cui family. According to the seniority, Cui Pu has to call him uncle.

Cui Pu had already handed over the post, so Wang Qi was waiting for them today.

When the two parties met, Wang Qi specially looked Cui Pu up and down, and then laughed: "What Balang said is really true, you kid is young, you look weak and easy to bully, but who knows that the private methods are so vicious!"

Hachiro is the former Yangzhou assassin Wang Ren, Wang Qi's brother.

Cui Pu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for the compliment." It is an honor to have your approval. ”

"Do you think the old man is praising you?" Wang Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" Cui Pu nodded solemnly, "By the way, the lower official would like to thank you for sending troops to help this time." Without your help, the lower officials would not have arrested all the thieves within the specified time. ”

Hearing him talk about this, Wang Qi was still angry. "You're embarrassed to mention this to the old man! The old man wants to ask you, why didn't you make it clear to the old man before, that you did this alone?"

"You didn't ask at the time!" Cui Pu looked innocent.

"Yes, you only said that you asked the old man to send troops to help capture the bandits who committed major looting crimes in Liangzhou, and you didn't say anything else. The clue of the old man's bento is known to everyone in Liangzhou, so he sent a team to help you, but who knows, in the end, everything is done by you alone! In the end, the credit goes to you alone, and the others don't even get a little bit of soup!" Wang Qi drank coldly.

Wang Qi has guarded the border for many years, and a few years ago, he also led his troops over the Qilian Mountain, and broke the Turkic army of Tubo Yuhai and Youyi, which can be described as a tiger general. Now that he was angry, the momentum was even more amazing. But a word and a look were thrown over, and the atmosphere in the hall dropped sharply to freezing, and the maids who were waiting for them couldn't help but start trembling, as if they were ready to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

However, Cui Pu still smiled dishonestly: "It's too pretentious for you to say this." Xia Guan just came to Liangzhou, don't you know what kind of situation you are facing? At present, this matter is a tool for me to fight with them. They won't help me here, and I naturally won't give them any news to make trouble. You are also an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, how can you not see this little trick? Naturally, you should also know that if you fail, they will put the responsibility on my head. Then why should I give them merit? I'm not a saint!"

Wang Qi burst out laughing. The condensed atmosphere in the hall was swept away in an instant.

"Cui Ge has such a son as you, it is true that he burned high incense in his last life! That's right, of course the old man understands this matter, so he originally planned to sit aside and wait to watch the show. As a result, who knows, you little fox, actually dragged the old man into the water!"

"There's no way, my nephew has just arrived, and no one else can believe it, so I can only turn to you, Uncle Shi, for help. Cui Pu smiled at him flatteringly, "It's also thanks to Uncle Shi, you are wise and decisive, and your nephew begged you, and you agreed." Otherwise, now my nephew is only afraid that he is still crying in the Assassin's Mansion, where can he sit here and laugh with you?"

Wang Qi immediately put away his smiling face again. "The old man can't laugh at it. You've been in Liangzhou for three months, don't you know that Zhan Sima also has a good relationship with the old man?"

Of course he does. Zhan Sima was valued by Wang Qi's lieutenant at the beginning, and he was promoted to Sima's position. The later history of the assassination was also based on Wang Qi's face, and Zhan Sima was really conscientious under him in those years, so he had the heart to sell Wang Qi's personal favor, so he proposed to recommend Zhan Sima to a higher level. But people are not as good as heaven, who knew that Li Linfu suddenly stepped in and threw Cui Pu over?

Now that he has already come, Cui Pu naturally won't mention those past events anymore. He continued to laugh and said, "It's true that Zhan Sima is the one you watched climb up, but it's also true that his performance is not to your liking these days. Otherwise, why would you join forces with me to teach him a lesson?"

When Wang Qi heard this, he sighed again in his heart.

This kid is so shrewd! he has a good grasp of his mind, and the result of this matter is exactly what he wants. Otherwise, how could he agree to let Cui Pu come in the door and talk so much to him?

Zhan Sima is a person he admires. Although this person's ability is not too outstanding, he is down-to-earth and loyal to Shangguan. In Liangzhou over the years, he has also done a lot of things for the people, plus the deputy general has been promoting him in front of him, and he is also happy to give his subordinates a face.

However, after Cui Pu took over, he changed.

After all, it was something that originally belonged to him, but it became someone else's, and anyone else would be depressed.

But Zhan Sima's vision is too shallow after all, and he only sees the position of the assassin in his eyes, but he can't see a few deeper meanings through the arrangement of the position of the assassin - Wang Qi is also very dissatisfied with the dictatorship of villains like Li Linfu in his heart. In order to develop military power, Li Linfu also sent people to contact him, but he scolded him back. Li Linfu hated him for this, and he didn't block him a lot. This time, in the arrangement of Liangzhou Thorn History, he clearly did it on purpose.

And Cui Pu also had a discord with Li Linfu, and Li Linfu threw him over, definitely trying to scare him, and by the way, he also used him to disgust them. In this way, the official position he had given to Zhan Sima by default has now become someone else's pocket, and he must have a debt to Zhan Sima in his heart. But after Cui Pu is a world friend, he must also carry it. But Zhan Sima has a little hostility towards Cui Pu in his heart, so there must be constant friction between these two people. Then which side he will choose to take is worth considering.

Standing on Zhan Sima's side, it would hurt the friendship with the Cui family for many years, but if he stood on Cui Pu's side, then the officials in Liangzhou would be chilled by his actions.

He pondered for a long time to no avail, so he called Zhan Sima and specially instructed him to endure loneliness and not to clash with the new Thorn Sto. However, Zhan Sima did not agree.

And then, that series of things happened.

After learning the news, Wang Qi was very angry. It is true that he knows that Zhan Sima has grievances in his heart, but if you complain and complain, you have to take the overall situation into account! You are making trouble in Liangzhou, but Li Linfu and his gang are waiting in Chang'an to watch the excitement! Moreover, he deliberately spreads rumors and digs holes for people, and he despises such inferior methods. In particular, he also united with the officials in Liangzhou City to isolate Cui Pu and deliberately create the illusion that Cui Pu was incompetent, but he pretended to go to the assassination of Shifu to admit his mistake...... This series of actions really disgusted him.

Therefore, Cui Pu chose to slap him in the face directly, and he was in favor.

Moreover, Cui Pu's actions are not excessive at all. He just pointed out Zhan Sima's mistake in public, and did not fall into the ground, which already gave him enough face. And Zhan Sima was good, and then he actually joined forces with the Liu Governor to come on strike!

Then don't blame Cui Pu for being angry, he's angry too!

If this momentum is not curbed, the officialdom of Liangzhou will really become a joke, and Li Linfu's people will take advantage of it!

Therefore, in order to teach Zhan Sima a lesson, he specially set aside a day to meet Cui Pu. As for the post sent by Zhan Sima asking to see him, he rejected it.

His series of psychological activities were actually guessed clearly by Cui Pu, and the proportions were just right, how could he not be shocked?

From this point of view, in this matter, Cui Pu is really very restrained. Otherwise, if he really wanted to kill Zhan Sima, it would be an easy matter. This young man, as Wang Ren said, should not be underestimated!

"But no matter what, this Zhan Mingcheng has also done a lot of practical things in Liangzhou, but in fact, he is not bad-hearted. If you can, you can spare him a little!" At last, he could only sigh.

Cui Pu smiled. "Jiedu makes you rest assured that Xia Guan is not the kind of person who likes to kill everything. As long as he doesn't offend me, I won't be idle to offend him. ”

He's busy!

Wang Qi smiled. With your words, the old man is relieved. ”

Cui Pu also laughed twice, and suddenly came to his side: "By the way, have you heard the news from Chang'an?"

"Do you mean that King Shou is newly married to Wei Zhaoxun's daughter, or is it that the saint wants to crown Concubine Taizhen as a concubine?" asked Wang Qi.

"Naturally, it was a matter for the saint to crown Concubine Taizhen as a concubine. Cui Pu said, squeezing his eyes at him again, "For such an important matter, don't you plan to send a big gift back to the saint?"
