Chapter 621: Retire after success

Hearing the sound of Peng Zhang's departure, Mu Jiaojiao slapped Cui Pu's hairy hand that was still moving on her arm. "Now you're satisfied?"

"Nope. Cui Pu snorted angrily, "I said a long time ago that this bastard has bad intentions towards you, and you still don't believe it." Now you believe it, right?"

God knows, when he saw Peng Zhang stretching out his hand to Mu Jiaojiao, he almost couldn't help but want to run out and kick that bastard away!

"It doesn't matter believe it or not? I don't have any feelings for him anymore. Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

"If it weren't for your cold words to him, do you think he would have just left our mansion intact?" Cui Pu said coldly, "How unfair God is to let such a villain soar." According to him, the saint would have made him at least a prince. ”

"The prince of the kingdom can't go beyond your county king. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That's right!" Cui Pu was finally happy, and snuggled up to her shoulder, "Lady, what you promised me just now, but you must do it! ”

"It's all this time, and you're still thinking about eating. Don't you worry, he ran into a wall here today, what will he say to the saint when he goes back?" Mu Jiaojiao said helplessly.

How narrow-minded Peng Zhang is, they all know it. Today, he was stimulated by them in turn, and he definitely wouldn't swallow this breath.

"Don't worry. Even if he slandered me again and the saint was angry again, they wouldn't dare to really do anything to me. I am now the benefactor of the entire Chang'an City, and if he dares to touch me, he will be the enemy of the entire Chang'an City. How could this man be so shrewd, how could he induce the saint to make such a mistake? Cui Pu waved his hand, not caring much.

Mu Jiaojiao thought about it and nodded. "Again, that's what he's best at. ”

Peng Zhang returned to the palace with a calm face.

Until he appeared in front of the saint, his face did not look very good.

When the saint saw it in his eyes, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly: "Peng Aiqing, what's wrong?"

"Weichen has a negative grace, please punish the saint!" Peng Zhang immediately knelt down and shouted.

The saint could be sure that his trip to the palace of Hanyang did not go well. Moreover, it is very unsmooth. So, the sage sank his face: "What happened, Peng Aiqing, you can tell me carefully." ”

Peng Zhang told what he was doing at Mu Jiaojiao, and naturally he was indispensable to add oil and vinegar. At the end, he said again: "Princess Hanyang's medical skills are really good, and Weichen is ashamed of himself." King Hanyang's body is still very weak, but now he can finally lie down and talk, and when Weichen went to see him, he also said a few words to Weichen. It's just that when Weichen mentioned that the saint wanted to meet him and asked him face-to-face about the siege of Chang'an at that time, he refused to nod his head. ”

"Is that so?" said the saint softly, a storm evidently surging in his eyes.

If he can lie down and can speak a few words, it means that his condition is not too serious. Even so, he still resolutely refused to enter the palace to see him, which means that he still has resentment in his heart, right?

Peng Zhang saw that his words had achieved his goal, and he hurriedly waved his hand nervously: "But sage, don't misunderstand! According to Weichen's view, it is not that the king of Hanyang and his wife do not want to come to see the sage, but ......."

"And what?"

Instead, their husbands and wives are indifferent to fame and fortune. Weichen praised the achievements of King Hanyang over the years, as well as the contributions made by Princess Hanyang to the people, but they just smiled indifferently and didn't talk much. Princess Hanyang even said that what she is most worried about now is the body of King Hanyang, and now she just wants to stay by King Hanyang's side until he recovers. The king of Hanyang loves his wife like his life, and since the princess has said so, he naturally has only the share of obedience. ”

That is to say, in Cui Pu's eyes, Mu Jiaojiao's words as a woman are much more useful than her own saint!

"I see, I see. The saint nodded, his face becoming more and more gloomy and ugly, "Imperial Doctor Peng, you have worked hard, go down and rest!"

Peng Zhang's lips moved, and he squeezed out a dry sentence: "Sage, don't be angry! This time, they have indeed made great achievements, and the King of Hanyang is indeed seriously ill." Although their current actions are a little more arbitrary, they haven't hurt anyone, right? Wei Chen thought that when the King of Hanyang's health improved, he would continue to serve the saint loyally like the King of Fenyang!"

"I don't expect him to be like Guo Linggong. The sage snorted coldly.

Peng Zhang was stunned, and wanted to say more, but the sage was already impatiently reprimanded: "Imperial Doctor Peng, you retreat." I have my own plans for the affairs of King Hanyang!"

Peng Zhang was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

But no one saw it, and his lowered face was full of smiles.

After he left, King Yong came.

"Daddy, I think that the king and wife of Hanyang are not despising Tianzun. The reason why they have not appeared now must be because the king of Hanyang is too injured to move around. Didn't Imperial Doctor Peng also say that until now, King Hanyang can only lie down. This shows how much damage that arrow caused to him!"

"Of course I know. It's just that their attitude is there, if they say how much respect they have for me, I don't believe it to death!" the saint said coldly.

"Daddy......"

"Don't say any more! They have made meritorious contributions to guarding Chang'an, and I have already rewarded them heavily. But now, they are clearly ignoring me, and they have thrown me in the face several times, and this matter must be punished!" shouted the saint.

King Yong paused, and lowered his head helplessly.

However, the saint's anger had not yet faded, and the next day he saw Cui Pu send a letter to his case. After reading the above words, the anger in his heart dissipated.

"King Yong, you can go to the Hanyang Palace" to visit him on my behalf!" he whispered.

King Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was too busy to respond. In the afternoon, he arrived at Cui Pu's Mansion with several carts full of gifts.

Cui Pu was still lying on the bed pretending to be sick and humming. Mu Jiaojiao sat on the edge of the bed and was bringing water to feed him.

In fact, after they returned to Chang'an that day, King Yong had already come to visit Cui Pu, and Cui Pu's condition was very bad at that time, and he also had red eyes because of this. Now that he came again, he was ordered by the Holy Order, and when he saw Cui Pu, who had already improved a lot, King Yong was very relieved.

"King Hanyang, whether he was a civil or military attache over the years, has made outstanding achievements, and has done countless good things for the people everywhere he goes. This time, Chang'an has to stay with you, so that it can survive being looted, and we can see your efforts. Now you're just a little injured and a little weak, and you can rest for a while. Daddy ordered me to come over, just to take a good look at you, so that you can recuperate, and you don't have to worry about other things. The young prince stood in front of Cui Pu's couch with a serious expression of comfort.

Cui Pu shook his head and said, "King Yong, your kindness is appreciated. However, I am indeed old, and now my body is so badly damaged that even if I did, I could not ride a horse or hold a gun. In that case, why should I covet this position anymore? It is better to give up the position and let the young people fight for it, and maybe it can bring a little new atmosphere to our New Tang Dynasty! Besides......

He was beaten. "The lesson of Emperor Xuanzong is still vivid. Weichen is now old, and he doesn't want to follow in his footsteps and ruin the achievements of the first half of his life. ”

When King Yong heard him say this, he knew that the words on the fold were his true intentions, and he did not deliberately compete with the saints. In this way, he will no longer bother to persuade him.

He went back and relayed his words to the saint, who was also embarrassed. "Sure enough, it was my small-bellied chicken intestines, and I almost wronged a pillar of the country!

After that, Cui Pu connected two more twists and turns, insisting on passing on the throne of the county king to the prince and recuperating from his old age.

With such a resolute heart, the saint could only agree to his request with tears after several attempts to save him to no avail. However, in view of his great achievements in the New Tang Dynasty over the years, the sage rewarded him with a mansion in Fanchuan Villa as a place for him to recuperate. In addition, the sage also gave Xiao Langjun a marquis as compensation.

It was easy for the dust to settle, and Cui Pu moved to the mansion of Fan Chuan Villa with great fanfare. Then, he sighed to Mu Jiaojiao: "You see, this emperor is so duplicitous! Obviously, I wish that we old fellows would quickly hand over the military power and get out—otherwise he would not suddenly change his attitude after seeing my twists and turns, and become enthusiastic about me again." But for the sake of face, he had to make a reluctant appearance and keep me again and again. Both sides did enough to play, and then they ended up satisfied. Fortunately, I have escaped now, otherwise I would have been either exhausted or suffocated to death if I stayed there!"

Chang'an is different from the places below. In this place, there is the Son of Heaven and the relatives of the emperor, and it is indeed not as loose as being an official. He is a person who is accustomed to being powerful in the place, and when he arrives in this place, he still has to look at people's faces, which is really not very pleasant.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "However, Peng Zhang is only afraid that he will be depressed again." ”

Peng Zhang was indeed depressed.

"How could ......it be? They...... Are these two people really crazy?" After learning that Cui Pu had really given up the position of county king, and that he and Mu Jiaojiao had moved to Fanchuan Villa for retirement, he was about to go crazy.

"After decades of going back and forth, seven years of quelling the rebellion, and fifteen days of arduous defense of the city, he almost lost his life! With such great merit and so many merits, he actually said that he would throw it away? Is there something wrong with this surnamed Cui's brain?"

If it were him, he would inevitably exchange these distinct feats for more benefits. If it is not possible to add an official to a knighthood, it would be good to have a wife and a son! But what about them? They only got a marquis for their youngest son, which is also too big and too useless!

When he sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but think of what the little girl had said at the beginning-

"When my husband retires in the future, we will travel together, travel around the world, and easily live the rest of our lives!"

He still scoffed at her childish ideas. "The most important thing for a man is his career. When they are forty or fifty years old, it is just the time when their career is at the peak, who is stupid to leave what they are doing at this time and accompany a woman to wander around?"

Her face turned pale by his unceremonious words, and her red lips pursed for a while before she whispered, "I believe that as long as he loves me, he will grant my wishes." As long as he loves me enough......"

Therefore, this Cui Liu just loves her and loves her crazy, and actually retreated bravely when she was at the height of her fame, just to accompany her to travel the world?

Peng Zhang clenched his fists.

Her wishes came true one after another. Is she too powerful, or is he too naïve? It's obviously such an unrealistic little girl's fantasy, why can she do what she says, and everything still comes true?

No, he's going to find someone surnamed Cui and have a good chat with him!

However, when the others arrived at the entrance of the annex, they were stopped. "The king of the county has a guest, but he doesn't see outsiders, Imperial Doctor Peng, please go back!"

"I see that the king of the county has something important, and it is about the princess!" Peng Zhang said loudly.

"Then we won't be able to let you in. But the porter said.

Peng Zhang was stunned, and then listened to the porter say: "The king of the county said, Imperial Doctor Peng, you have coveted the beauty of our princess for a long time, and you don't know how many fragrant stories related to the princess have been made up. It's just that the princess grew up in Chang'an's Mu family since she was a child, and she has no contact with you. If you want to say that you have had some contacts later, but every time you meet, there are so many people around you watching, what is there between you that the king of the county is not clear? You are like this now, it is clear that you deliberately want to destroy the relationship between the prince and the princess, how can we give you this opportunity?"

Peng Zhang was so angry that he almost jumped up.

It's good that he's Cui Liu, and he actually took the first step to beat a rake!

"I really have something important to talk to him. As long as the king of Hanyang sees me, he will definitely not regret it. He gritted his teeth.

"No, it is impossible for our county king to see you again in the future, and the princess is the same. If you don't leave, then don't blame us for sending you home!"

A group of reckless people, with a glance surnamed Cui, just want to be happy for a while, regardless of the consequences in the future!

Seeing this, Peng Zhang scolded in his heart, but he couldn't help but retreat again and again.

Seeing that he had retreated, the porter burst out laughing. The smugness and schadenfreude on his face were like needles piercing his heart, making his face flush with anger.

Now that Cui Liudu has retired, his sense of presence in front of the saint will only get lower and lower in the future. When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to even save himself, so you will wait for death one by one!" gritted his teeth and dropped this sentence, and then he turned his head and left in hatred.
