At the entrance of the criminal department, Cui Hongdao led everyone from the Cui family to wait at the gate. Today is the day Master Cui Ren is released from prison. As the most powerful person in the court among the Cui family, it is right for him to be greeted by so many people.

After a while, the door of the Criminal Department was opened wide, and Cui Renshi slowly walked out. He was affectionate and peaceful, with no strange look on his face, and he was not as angry as others imagined. It was just a matter of opening and closing his eyes.

, there was a hint of luster. Apparently after a prison sentence, Cui Renshi became more serious. When he saw the people in front of him, he nodded, not overly affectionate, just looking at Cui Hongdao in front of the crowd,

There was a trace of shame on his face, he bent down and saluted, calling him uncle.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Cui Hongdao nodded repeatedly and helped Cui Renshi up. With this person here, the princelings will not fall, and they will not collapse. These days, Cui Hongdao clearly feels that the court has

The changes in the situation in China have exceeded his expectations. At this time, Cui Renshi's release from prison is necessary not only for his personal emotions, but also for the situation between North Korea and China.

"Let's go, uncle." Cui Renshi nodded and scanned the criminal department lobby behind him. There was no official coming out to see him off at the entrance of the lobby. There were only a few guards with cold faces. Cui Renshi suddenly smiled, and he smiled like that

Happy, and so rampant. He stayed in prison for nearly a month. Within a month, he had a deep understanding of what heaven is and what hell is. If he knew these two things, heaven and hell.

words.

"Let's go!" The excitement on Cui Li's face in the crowd became even more intense. Since Cui Renshi can be released, it means that the position of the Xuande Palace Archbishop has been determined.

, that is Master Cui In front of us. It is time for the princelings and the Kanto family to rise again.

Amidst Master Cui Ren's laughter, the group of people took advantage of dozens of carriages to move slowly towards the huge Cui Mansion. Behind them, at some unknown time, the figures of Wei Ting and Wang Gui appeared in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

In front of the door.

"Once this person leaves, there will probably be trouble in the court again." Wei Ting sighed deeply. Wei Ting was not unaware of the principle of being harmed instead of dying. Although all this has nothing to do with him,

But he couldn't guarantee whether Master Cui Ren would seek revenge on him later.

"My lord, there is no need to worry." Wang Gui said cautiously: "My lord, do you think that Cui Renshi's release from prison will change the decline of the princelings and the Guandong family? No, no. Your Majesty has the first time, and there is the second.

This time. Everything that happened during this period has something to do with the Guandong family. Your Majesty is already very wary of the Guandong family. Haha, did you watch the celebration in the martial arts yesterday? His Majesty's series of actions seemed to be for

The establishment of a standing army was actually aimed at the Guandong family. All the disciples of the Guandong family in the army were kicked out in one go, and they were replaced by all martial arts disciples. These disciples are loyal to His Majesty, and outsiders cannot

Get involved. This is a signal that the Guandong family will suffer a huge loss this time."

"Your Majesty's actions cannot be clearly seen by us." Wei Ting couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of Lu Zhaoci's majestic face and a series of methods.

"Although His Majesty is determined to change the current structure of officialdom, it still takes a long time to build a palace that has been built for hundreds of years. It cannot be overthrown in an instant. It still has to be done bit by bit." Wang Guixiao

He smiled and said: "But His Majesty is also very powerful. He has firmly grasped the military power. This is what we admire. With the army in hand, who dares to move around? Look. Even the army secretly rules our country.

The Guandong aristocratic family that dominated half of the Tang Dynasty could only use some small means to achieve their goals. What a tragedy for the aristocratic family!"….

"If it's Mr. Li..."

"Sir, be careful." Wang Gui's expression changed after hearing this, and he quickly stopped Wei Ting. Seeing this, Wei Ting's face turned extremely pale, and he cautiously looked around. After seeing no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go! Go!" Wei Ting quickly waved his hand, and the two of them disappeared into the Criminal Department.

In the Cui Mansion, Master Cui Ren stepped over the brazier and was served by the maid. After taking a bath, he changed into a green shirt and got rid of the bad luck, and then entered the hall. At this time, people had gathered in the hall.

Many people have been waiting for a long time.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's mercy, I, Mr. Cui, finally see the light of day today." When Master Cui Ren saw everyone, a smile appeared on his face, he cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is merciful." When everyone saw this, they had to stand up and bow down in the direction of the palace to greet each other. No matter what they thought in their hearts at this time, they still had to do the work on the surface. No one dared to neglect it, for fear of spreading rumors.

When it came to Yan Guan's mouth, he was made a candidate for participation.

"Master Ren, since you have been released from prison. Let's go to the palace to thank Your Majesty!" Seeing Master Cui Ren's appearance, Cui Hongdao also nodded and touched his beard. He said: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, how would he have come out?

You have to go into the palace to thank His Majesty for his kindness, and then come back to talk! Maybe Your Majesty has other instructions."

"My nephew accepts the order." Cui Renshi nodded, bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, please go back temporarily. After I enter the palace to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, I will talk to you again." Upon seeing this, many officials also spoke in succession.

Saying they didn't dare, they all stood up and bowed their hands towards Cui Renshi. Under the leadership of Cui's servants, they all left Cui's house. For a moment, only Cui Hongdao, Cui Renshi, Cui Li and Zheng Renji were left in the hall.

Even the other disciples of the Cui family were kicked out one after another. It was obvious that these four representatives of the Guandong aristocratic families had important matters.

"Your Majesty has used a good trick! Give him a slap and a sweet date." After everyone left, Cui Hongdao looked gloomy and said coldly: "This is treating our Guandong family as fools! How brave you are.

!”

"All ancient emperors were like this." Zheng Renji said calmly.

"Uncle, my nephew has been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment these days. He doesn't know the situation outside. Please tell me clearly." Cui Renshi saw this and said quickly: "My nephew will go to the palace to face the saint later. Otherwise, we will

Those censors will seize the opportunity and accuse my nephew of being disrespectful." Cui Renshi showed a bitter smile on his lips, but he was frightened by those people.

"My brother has been in prison during this period and is unaware of the situation outside. With my brother's imprisonment, the situation in the court has changed and it is extremely strange." Cui Li showed a wry smile and immediately explained the situation in the court.

After reading it again, he also told many countermeasures of the Guandong family.

Master Cui Ren's expression became uglier the more he listened. Then Cui Li finally said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is probably preparing to deal with our Guandong family. The news of His Royal Highness's being deposed has been received. It has been a long time since the Kunning Palace

I haven’t heard from the Queen anymore, and I heard that Your Majesty seldom goes to her place. Your Majesty is just trying to kill the donkey! He..."

"Shut up." Cui Renshi shouted coldly at Cui Li and snorted: "Your Majesty, are you the one who can discuss it? Now it seems that these things are all done by you. According to Brother Zheng's wisdom, it is not possible

You are so unwise and want to confront His Majesty, you are simply seeking death."

"Brother." Cui Li's expression changed when he heard this, and he was ready to stand up and refute.

"Okay." A cold snort came from Cui Hongdao's nostrils. He looked at Master Cui Ren and said lightly: "Although Cui Li's move is a bit excessive, there is no other way. You don't have to do this either. If not

In this way, His Majesty will let you out. Humph, he knows that the rise in food prices outside is related to our Guandong family, but there is nothing he can do about it, so he will let you out in exchange for the Guandong family's control over food prices. But I don't have it.

What I thought of was that he actually had such a good means to drive out all the children of the Guandong family among the generals. What a good means!"...

"It's just that we underestimated martial arts in the past." Cui Li also shook his head and said: "These guys from grassroots backgrounds, some of whom don't even know a few words, how can such people actually lead

The army is really unimaginable, Your Majesty is so brave."

"Martial arts is the cradle of generals. This sentence was said by His Majesty himself." Zheng Renji looked solemn on the side and said lightly: "It is conceivable that in the future, it is impossible for people who have not been influenced by martial arts to command large armies.

His Majesty first had Zhongnanshan Academy, which trained a large number of talents for him. After replacing Li Tang, these people took part in the imperial examination and were assigned to ministers and pastors in various places. He has bribed many literati students.

, and now there is martial arts. It has trained a large number of military talents for His Majesty. It can be said that this time, His Majesty no longer relies on the Guandong family in terms of governing the country and using troops abroad. It can even be said that he no longer relies on any family. Only then

It’s the most important thing.”

"One day in prison is a thousand years outside!" Master Cui Ren listened for a long time before shaking his head, with a trace of solemnity on his face. He glanced at the three people and said lightly: "You all don't understand Your Majesty, that's why you

There will be today. Your Majesty has been waiting for this day for more than a day or two. He just didn't seize the opportunity before, but this time it is different. He did seize the opportunity and took advantage of the leak of secrets to get me under the knife.

Prison, and you made a series of mistakes in order to save me, and you did not see the root of this matter at all. This is not me, Cui Inshi, but someone else. The position of a bachelor of Xuandeokjeon is given to you.

I'm so dizzy that I can't see everything clearly. Hey, not only you, but also the princes in the court have not seen the mystery clearly. After all, I am also a hero who has followed your majesty and has been handling major affairs in the court for many years. How can I say nothing?

That's all, the position of Xuande Palace Bachelor is still mine. Neither Feng Deyi, Chu Suiliang, nor Xu Shiji can get it. The so-called Xu Shiji is a Xuande Palace Bachelor, although it is

It came from His Majesty's mouth, but it was not His Majesty's thoughts. You people were all deceived by Your Majesty, and that's why you did this. You forgot other things."

"What your Excellency said is true. His Majesty's thoughts are beyond the understanding of us ministers." Zheng Renji nodded repeatedly. He was strongly opposed to this matter at the beginning.

"You have spoken out at this time." Seeing Zheng Renji standing and talking without pain, Cui Li suddenly felt angry in his heart, and a trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I already know about this matter. I'll talk about it later when I go to the palace to see His Majesty." Cui Renshi frowned and snorted to Cui Li: "Okay, I have to deal with matters in the capital.

Take care of it, you will go to Zezhou! There is no need to stop in Chang'an." After saying that, he stood up, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and prepared to go to the palace.

"Yes." Cui Li didn't dare to neglect, stood up quickly, saluted Cui Renshi's back, and finally glared at Zheng Renji fiercely, his eyes full of evil. He also followed closely and walked out.

Cui Mansion.

"Hey! Mr. Zheng, I hope you don't mind." Cui Hongdao sighed deeply, his eyes full of helplessness, and said lightly: "Compared with your Majesty today, I am old."

"It's not that Uncle Shi is old, but that Your Majesty is too powerful." Zheng Renji said with a bitter smile: "My nephew is more worried about the price of food in the two capitals now, and whether His Majesty is hiding something behind him. This is something that my nephew would never expect. If His Majesty is hiding something,

If there is a back-up, it must be the price of food. My nephew thinks it’s better to be careful. We have already lost once, and we can’t lose again this time.”

"What you said makes sense. However, I haven't seen His Majesty take action so far. I think His Majesty won't take action." Cui Hongdao nodded and said: "Master Ren has come out this time, and there is no need for us to take action in this matter."

We are in trouble with Your Majesty. After Master Ren comes back, I will order the price of food in the two capitals to calm down. In this way, even if Your Majesty has any backup plans, he can't do anything to us! Hey, even if our Kanto family is in trouble this time."

….

"Master, Mr. Dou is selling grain at low prices again." At this moment, the concierge came in with a frightened look on his face.

"Selling food at low prices again? How brave." Cui Hongdao's face turned red when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, and shouted coldly: "Do you really treat our Guandong family as sheep? He used to be His Majesty, and he owned the entire country.

, it is understandable that our Guandong family cannot defeat him. Now even a small businessman dares to bully us. It is simply asking for death. If the Dou family is not destroyed, how will our Guandong family gain a foothold in the world in the future?

Go, tell them that no matter how much grain the Dou family sells, I will buy them back. I don’t believe how much grain the little Dou family can store?"

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Zheng Renji's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly stood up to stop him: "Uncle Shi, Brother Cui has been released, and it is certain that he will be reinstated. But why at this time,

A little Dou family actually dares to go against the Guandong family, didn't you think there was something wrong with it?"

"My dear nephew, I think you are frightened by His Majesty. If Your Majesty could be so powerful, he would have ascended to the throne long ago in the late Sui Dynasty. How could he still have several years of emperorship like Li Yuan's?" Cui Hongdao

He sneered and said: "If my Cui family retreats at this time, what will the Guanzhong family think? Do they think that my Guandong family will be afraid of a small businessman? How can this be possible?"

"This?" Zheng Renji was stunned by Cui Hongdao's words. He didn't know what to do. Although he could conclude that there must be something wrong here, there was no evidence to prove that behind this matter, there was today's emperor here.

Behind the scenes, even other people did not expect that once the Guandong family gave in, even if it was to save face for today's emperor, outsiders would not think so. They must have thought that the Guandong family had weakened and beat the fallen dog hard.

, I think these Guanzhong families are willing to do it. When he thought of this, Zheng Renji could only remain silent. He could only watch Cui Hongdao give orders, not mentioning that the money in the treasury of the Guandong families was used to buy food.

In the announcement room, Master Cui Ren had been waiting outside the hall for half an hour, but he was still standing there and did not see Qin Jiudao come out to announce the order. Lu Zhaoci, who was not far inside, seemed to have forgotten this person, too.

No decision was made, and Cui Renshi, the former assistant minister, was allowed to stand on the square, receiving the attention of officials coming and going.
