196. The Emperor Who Was Tricked (Part 2)



196. The Emperor Who Was Tricked (Part 2) (Page 1/2)

Kaifeng, Zhuangyuan Lane.

Cui's house.

After the debate was over, regardless of how much of a commotion the entire Kaifeng was in because of him.

Cui Xian returned home and went straight into the study.

It was almost simultaneous.

Old Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Lin, Cui Zhongyuan who was holding Cui Ying, Cui Boshan, as well as Cui Yu, Cui Xuan and the rest of the family, all came back in a daze.

Except for old Cui who had been to Luoyang.

The rest of the family looked more shocked than each other.

Especially Cui Zhongyuan.

He murmured, "I feel my blood boiling every time I recite the poem 'I don't want to be a marquis, I just hope the sea is peaceful' that Jia Shao wrote for General Xiao Zhen."

"So, Jia Shao is our Xian Ge'er?!"

The entire Cui family attended the debate outside Kaifeng Prefecture just now.

When others were shocked that 'Jia Shao and Cui Xian are the same person'.

The leader of the Cui family also opened his mouth: We just found out about this too!

Although I've gotten used to Xian Ge'er's evilness over the years, this one is really a bit outrageous!

Cui Boshan looked at Old Cui and accused her, "Mother, you were in Luoyang publishing the Dongdu Flower News, so you must have known that Jia Shao was Xian'er, right? Why didn't you reveal any news after you came back?"

From this we can see that Old Cui is indeed a person who can accomplish big things, and he is really tight-lipped!

Facing condemnation from the entire family.

Old Cui smiled, her face flushed with excitement, "Oh, these are just small matters, don't worry about them for now!"

"Brother Xian has made such a big fuss this time. We must hurry up and print the Bianliang Gazette today. The entire Kaifeng City, no, half of Daliang is waiting to buy our gazette!"

"It's rich, it's rich!"

"By the way, notify our escort agency that everyone must be ready today. Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid we will have to rush to various places in Daliang with the official report!"

A few months ago, in Luoyang, Old Cui didn't make any money from 'escorting the imperial newspapers' and was so anxious that she kept saying that she had no experience.

So I rushed to Kaifeng.

With a wave of her hand, she acquired an escort agency that was on the verge of bankruptcy and renamed it "Cui's Escort Agency"!

Now that Xiang'er has appeared on the stage in Kaifeng, this escort agency will naturally come in handy!

beside.

When I heard my grandmother mention the 'escort agency', I thought about the shocking remarks my younger brother made today on the debate platform, and the insults from those pedantic old Confucian scholars.

Cui Yu said uneasily: "Grandma, I remember that there are several strong and sturdy warriors in our escort agency."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Old Cui understood and said immediately, "Yes, I know what Yu'er said! I specifically told them not to escort the caravan and to come to our house to serve as guards for Xian'er!"

"I'll call them over later and let Brother Xian take a look."

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

It is always better to take precautions before things happen!

Old Cui raised her chin, and her whole body was extremely excited: "Xian'er has basically finished his battle, and now it's our turn!"

Chen, Lin and others looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit and determination in each other's eyes.

For the rise of the Cui family and to protect Xiang'er, this family must stand up!

therefore.

When the whole Kaifeng city was talking about Cui Xian, and his shocking statement that "all the Twenty Sutras have loopholes".

Old Cui and all the Cui family members are officially ready to "fight"!

Although Cui's house was busy.

But the study where Cui Xian was was exceptionally quiet.

He sat at his desk, frowning in thought.

To be honest, this "exposure" is equivalent to "deceiving the emperor". It is not easy to please the emperor.

Moreover, it would be a loss for Cui Xian to just please the emperor.

He not only had to appease the emperor, but also had to convey the new ideas subtly and unnoticeably.

This step is particularly critical.

It is directly related to whether Cui Xian can obtain the endorsement of the royal power when he exposes his "new ideas" and is regarded as heresy by the entire literary world.

As long as the emperor is willing to adopt new ideas, he is equivalent to holding an imperial sword in his hand!

Another serious problem is -

Now Chen Bing has returned to Beijing and re-entered the cabinet.

Cui Xian's betrayal of the emperor was very likely to implicate his master Zheng Xiasheng, thus allowing Chen Bing to take advantage of the opportunity and regain the position of Prime Minister.

After careful consideration, Cui Xian sorted out his needs.

Or, clarify the purpose of writing this letter to the emperor.

First of all, we have to change the concept and describe deceiving the emperor as being loyal to the emperor.

One thing to note here is that you must never proactively admit your mistakes in black and white, to prevent the other party from bringing up old issues later.

Secondly, he recalled to the emperor the great achievements he had made in the past.

It should be noted here that you cannot mention the auspiciousness of Mengjin. Fake is fake, and mentioning it too much will have the opposite effect. It is safest to talk about Xiao Zhen in the southeast.

Then, he severely criticized Chen Bing to cut off his possibility of taking advantage of the loophole to get promoted.

Finally, by dragging down Chen Bing and satirizing the entire court, he hinted at his own "new ideas and new theories" and made a big promise to the emperor.

This four-step combo actually has a bit of the flavor of "scumbag talk" -

Changing concepts, reminiscing sweetness, provoking pain points, and making empty promises to get away with it!

But in this case, I can't express my feelings with just a few words or a simple drawing like I did in the previous letters.

Too many words will make people impatient to read on, and it won’t be clever enough.

Then try another tactic!

A little trick that only Cui Xian and the emperor himself could understand, a trick that belonged to the two of them.

Break down the words!

Thinking of this, Cui Xian's eyes lit up.

He took out the two letters the emperor had written to him earlier, one of which had only one word in it: "Shan".

The other one contained the sentence "My dear, you are my right-hand man."

At this time, the benefits of having literary talent become apparent - when a writer opens his mouth, he can make something dead come alive!

Women all over the world denounce scumbags, but no one can reject them. Why?

The scumbag is so sweet!

Thinking this in his mind, Cui Xian picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write a letter.

The guilty minister Cui Xian presents a memorial to the Emperor:

Your Majesty once bestowed upon me the word "humerus", and I have been rubbing it day and night as if I were looking at the bright moon.

"Gong" means the oar of a huge boat. The left side is attached to "Xian", like a dragon's arm holding up the sky; the right side is attached to "Yue", like a boat sneaking at night.

Recalling the bad times when the southeast was turbulent, I followed Fan Li's example and sailed on the five lakes at night, hiding my form and making plans. It was not because I dared to deceive heaven, but because I was afraid that the light of fireflies would disturb the bright sun. However, I was able to protect your majesty's good generals in the fight against the Japanese pirates. Isn't this in line with the secret of 'keeping the oars steady under the moon'?

The 'good' ones: the upper 'sheep' is like a lamb kneeling to suckle, and the lower 'sinners' are like two pearls reflecting each other!

Looking at the government halls today, some people imitate the Chu people who presented jade but were punished with foot punishment, while others imitate the Zheng people who argued about the age and became red in the face.

I am foolish, but I wish to erase the moss and rust on the words of nonsense and turn the brush of a sheep into a pen that can weigh a thousand pounds.

I have recorded for Your Majesty the practical policies in "Bin Feng·July", not the empty words in "Zixu" and "Shanglin"!

After finishing writing, Cui Xian read it carefully and always felt that something was missing.

Um……

When a scumbag tries to coax a woman, he usually ends by playing the victim and expressing his loyalty, saying something like "I will listen to you from now on, and you can do whatever you want to me."

So Cui Xian added:

The worn-out pen and inkstone are ready, waiting for thunder or rain.

In this way, a carefully written "routine letter" in which every word was tailor-made for the emperor was completed.

same day.

This letter was sent from Kaifeng at full speed and presented to the capital.

But, it was still a step too slow.

Jia Shao is Cui Xian. This shocking news first "exploded" Kaifeng, and then spread wildly towards Daliang.

The emperor naturally received the news first.

At that time, Emperor Jiahe had just swallowed the elixir, his face was rosy and he was in a good mood.

Until the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department came in trembling with fear and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Kaifeng."

oh?

Is it my auspicious talent, sending another letter?

Emperor Jiahe smiled and said, "Cheng come up."

The eunuch holding the pen said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, there is no letter, yes, it is a piece of news."

What news?

Seeing the eunuch's expression, Emperor Jiahe knew it was bad news. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak."

The eunuch was silent for a moment, then said carefully: "Jia Shao does not exist."

"He, his real name is the grandson of Prime Minister Zheng, the author of "Song of the Peasants" who was once given the title of 'a literary talent and a child prodigy gifted by heaven' by His Majesty, Cui Xian from Nanyang."

Emperor Jiahe was stunned.

No Jia Shao?

Only Choi Hyeon?

Emperor Jiahe reacted almost instantly.

It turns out that the drooping little tail that Jia Shao drew in the last sketch meant this!

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, at this moment, the emperor still felt angry at being fooled.

Every word you say expresses your loyalty, and every word is for your king and father.

As a result... even the identity is fake? !

So what is true?
