Chapter 102 Fengwei

"Your Majesty actually went to Changsun's Mansion. What do you want to do?" Master Cui Ren was in the study, looking at the scholar opposite and asked: "Cui Li, what do you mean by your Majesty! You have demoted him on the front foot.

It’s really surprising that the official position has now been transferred to his house!”

"Brother, could it be that His Majesty is very fond of Concubine Shu?" Cui Li asked curiously: "Your Majesty also treats Changsun Wuji in a different light?"

"No, no, your majesty treats all the empresses in the harem equally. If you are the most favored, it is the empress. Your majesty and empress treat each other as guests. I heard that during dinner, all the concubines in the harem come to Kunning Palace to enjoy it.

"Hey, Your Majesty is uniting the harem!" Cui Renshi shook his head and said with a smile: "What's more, this Concubine Shu still respects our Queen."

"I think your Majesty is too naive. Do you think you can calm down the harem in this way?" Cui Li said disdainfully: "When Li Yuan was here, the two concubines Yin and Zhang in the harem were Yang Guang's concubines. In Jinyang

When we were young, we shared the joys and sorrows together! But later, when we entered Li Yuan's harem, weren't we fighting to the death? The same is true in the emperor's harem now! I heard that Concubine Jing had been planning for the position of prince for a long time.

Can she get along with the Queen?".

"Xiong is so presumptuous. Are you able to interfere with His Majesty's family affairs?" Cui Renshi looked cold, pointed at Cui Li and snorted: "Don't think that just because you are a governor, you think that you have a high official position. There are some things that you cannot interfere with. You

The first time I went back to Beijing to see His Majesty, I was careful what I said. The number of people in Guandong who have entered the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty is still not comparable to that of the Guanzhong family. Although Zheng Renji became a doctor in the Ministry of Finance, he is a member of the Zheng family.

With our guarantee, we have barely managed to preserve the foundation of the family, but if we want to make any big progress, it is impossible. There are only you and me, so of course I don’t need to say anything. The rest is you, you

With the innate advantage, having the empress in the harem, you will naturally benefit from it. More importantly, when Li Dayen rebelled, it was because of you and Yuwen Yingfei that your majesty turned the corner and became the emperor he is today.

So, as long as you work hard, you will benefit from it in the future."

"I understand." Cui Li quickly stood up and cupped his hands.

"Zezhou is close to the capital. You are the governor of Zezhou. It is a blessing. You must not act recklessly. You must know that Wei Ting and others are looking at you and me for making mistakes." Cui Renshi sighed and said: "This

Brother Ciwei made a wrong move and offended Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, we would have gotten another foreign aid! Hum hum. Even though Changsun Wuji has no official position now, let me tell you, soon after, he will become a foreign aid again.

I have an official."

"So what if he has an official position? Don't forget, this world will belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and it will belong to my Guandong family. The chief assistant of the world today is you, my senior brother! Not his eldest grandson Wuji!

Cui Li said disdainfully.

"Although that is the case, it is better to have fewer grudges against others in the officialdom." Cui Renshi sighed and said: "You have to pay attention to this. Si Mu, on his side, should unite the local gentry and local subordinate officials. Only in this way can we unite the local gentry and subordinate officials.

The governance of Zezhou is going smoothly. Only then can I legitimately admit you to the capital."

"Yes." Cui Li hurried back. Obviously at this time, Cui Renshi had already felt that he was weak in the court and fighting against the Guandong family. He was a little powerless and urgently needed officials from the Guandong family to come to the court to help him.

.However, now that the imperial court has stipulated the number of officials in the imperial court due to Changsun Wuji's imperial inspection ceremony, it is quite difficult for foreign officials to enter the capital. And none of the officials in the capital want to leave the capital. Although it is not easy to live in the capital,

If you can get an official position in the capital, you will be close to the emperor, and there is a lot of room for promotion, so these people would rather live a poor life than apply for leaving the capital. Therefore, Cui Renshi wants to transfer Cui Li to the capital, which is not ordinary.

Difficult, those Guanlong families were staring at him all day long...

"Okay, let's go, follow me to see Your Majesty! Then, pass the sign to the harem and ask to see the Queen. Hehe, the Queen has also given an order. First, register at Yeting Palace, and then enter the palace to see the Queen.

Madam." Master Cui Ren shook his head.

"Okay." Cui Li nodded.

"Your Majesty, Zhongshu Ling has asked Cui Li, the governor of Zezhou, to see you." In the announcement room, Eunuch Cheng said in a low voice.

"Let them come in!" Lu Zhaoci put down the memorial in his hand, sighed deeply, and said: "The storm is coming, I can't stop it even if I want to!"

"Master Cui Ren (Cui Li) pays my respects, long live your majesty." Master Cui Ren's long sleeves fluttered, Cui Li entered the hall cautiously, and bowed to Lu Zhaoci.

"Everyone, get up!" Lu Zhaoci looked deeply at Cui Renshi and said calmly: "Cui Qing, from today on, you will be the servant of the minister! Ranked behind Cen Wenwen."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Cui Renshi was overjoyed. What he didn't expect was that Lu Zhaoci actually made him a minister at this time. He was extremely surprised and a look of pride suddenly appeared on his face.

"Cui Li, you have done a good job in Zezhou. I am deeply pleased." Lu Zhaoci glanced at the memorial on the table and said: "You are only in your twenties, and now you are already the governor of Zezhou.

Yes. Being young and successful sometimes is not a good thing. Some things can be touched upon, but some things still need to be careful. I heard that you have thirteen wives and concubines in your house?"

"Well, I'm guilty. It's just that my father did this when he saw that my son was not prosperous." Cui Li's expression changed, he knelt down and explained quickly.

"Don't you have many heirs?" Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "If you don't have many heirs, then I don't need to compete with you. None of your wives and concubines were forcibly married!"

"Forcibly marry? I would never dare." Cui Li turned pale with fright, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Even Master Cui Ren on the side was frightened when he heard this, with a look of horror on his face.

"I hope so." Lu Zhaoci glanced at the two of them coldly, waved his hand and said, "Go see the Queen! Is she waiting for you in Kunning Palace?"

"I'll go now, I'll leave." Seeing this, Master Cui Ren didn't dare to stay here, so he quickly pulled Cui Li out of the announcement room.

"What's going on?" Outside the announcement room, Cui Renshi looked at Cui Li with a cold snort and said: "Tell me, what's going on? Your Majesty never asks about your ministers' private affairs. Why do you ask about your private affairs today?

You are really good at sorting out thirteen wives and concubines. You have made thirteen wives. Why did you marry so many? Also, His Majesty just asked you if you had robbed people's daughters. Let me ask you. Do you have this?

Something?"

"Well, Brother Shi, you also know what's wrong with marrying a woman from my Cui family. What a blessing it is for them to join our Cui family." Cui Li said dissatisfied.

"You have achieved your ambition at a young age, you really have achieved your ambition at a young age." Cui Renshi snorted: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world. What kind of women can't get it? But have you seen how many empresses there are in His Majesty's harem?".

"Isn't it that the world has not yet been settled? Your Majesty still wants to maintain his original demeanor. Brother, look at it, it won't be long before your Majesty is going to select beauties." Cui Li said disdainfully.

"Shut up." Master Cui Ren's face turned livid. He snorted coldly, "Don't be so presumptuous in front of the Queen later."

"Yes, yes." Cui Li nodded repeatedly, but his eyes were gleaming fiercely, and he didn't know what he was saying.

"Master Cui, I've invited you." At this time, a female official came out of Kunning Palace and said to Master Cui Ren.

"Yes!" Master Cui Ren straightened his clothes, and then followed the female officer into Kunning Palace. Cui Li behind him did not dare to neglect, straightened his clothes, and then followed closely...

"Master Cui Ren (Cui Li) pays homage to the empress. The empress is a thousand years old." Today's harem of the Tang Dynasty is not as strict as it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the hall, Cui Yingying's face was frosty, and there were no relatives at all.

Come in joyful spirit.

"Are you Cui Li?" Cui Yingying's voice was extremely cold, as cold as ice. The expressions of Cui Renshi and Master Cui changed drastically. Cui Li's head dropped even lower, blocking the gold bricks on the ground and the sweat on his forehead.

The beads dripped to the ground.

"My, my name is Cui Li." Cui Li responded quickly.

"You are so brave! You actually dare to take a girl by force. I ask you, what happened to that tofu beauty in Zezhou City?" Cui Yingying snorted coldly: "Look! Someone has already reported everything about you.

Come up." After saying that, he threw a memorial from the tables nearby and hit Cui Li on the head. The hit made Cui Li's forehead hurt, but he didn't dare to avoid it.

"Master Cui Ren, I heard that His Majesty has made you a minister?" Master Cui Ren's forehead felt cold and he lowered his head quickly.

"Replying to your Majesty, I am favored by Heaven and won the favor of Your Majesty. Your Majesty made me serve as a servant of the minister." Cui Renshi did not dare to neglect and said quickly.

"Do you think you can be a good minister?" Cui Yingying snorted coldly: "How are you better than Mr. Cen Wencen? How do you think you are better than Changsun Wuji? What merits do you have to be able to be a good minister!

Is it because of me? Or is it the newly appointed crown prince?".

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Master Cui Ren turned pale with fear.

"If we follow my wishes, I, a member of the Cui family, should not be an official, let alone a high official." Cui Renshi sighed.

"Your Majesty, you should know that if I don't take this position, I'm afraid my position as Crown Prince will not be guaranteed!" Cui Renshi said with aggrieved face: "My Majesty, even though the position of the East Palace has been confirmed now, there are still people who are determined to give up.

The Jiangzuo family and the Guanlong family have united together, and they are always thinking about the crown prince's position!"

"That's enough, don't use the prince as an excuse." Cui Yingying's face was cold and she snorted: "You guys go down first! If you don't want to leave any clues, then you have to behave properly and sit upright. In this way, the other party will want to arrest you.

No excuse is possible."

"I understand." Cui Renshi and Cui Li nodded repeatedly and quickly retreated. Before leaving, Cui Renshi glanced at the memorial and saw that the three words "Wei Siyan" on it were so obvious.
