Chapter 118 Cui Zhang formed an alliance

The Li clan rushed to the imperial study room. Cui Yuan had been waiting for a long time. After he returned from Taiyuan, the court became calm. Only the Uighurs had no time to look east because of the rebellion of Liuxia. The Khan of Dengli sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to sign a peace treaty, acknowledging that the Tang Dynasty had control over the three surrendered cities, and used the surrendered cities as a temporary ceasefire line, and the specific border was slowly negotiated by both sides.

In addition, the disaster situation in various places has also been controlled, the rice price is stable, and there is no situation of a thousand dollars in rice. The political situation is calm, and the Li Shishi has also been in the Yu Study room much less.

At this moment, more than a dozen eunuchs on duty were busy in the Li family's imperial study, ventilating, wiping dust, burning incense. The weather gradually became colder, and the charcoal brazier must be prepared.

Cui Yuan smiled and watched the eunuchs busy with his hands behind his back, as if he was a supervisor, "I've been waiting for the prime minister for a long time!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. Cui Yuan turned around and saw that the Li family had appeared a few steps away. More than a dozen palace people surrounded him. Cui Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to worship, "I am Cui Yuan, please see His Majesty the Emperor!"

The Li Shi quickly helped him up and complained again: "How many times have I said that I don't have to kneel down when I see me, and the prime minister always refuses to listen."

"My ministers are the heads of all officials, and we need to set an example for everyone."

Li Shi nodded with some emotion, "You are really my loyal minister!"

At this time, the study room had been cleaned up, and the eunuchs retreated one by one. Li Shi waved his hand to Cui Yuan and smiled: "Prime Minister, please speak in the house."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The study room was bright, and a pot of charcoal was placed in the corner of the wall, which gradually spread the heat throughout the room. The Li Shi fiddled with the paperweight on the desk and smiled faintly, "I heard that the Prime Minister had an urgent matter to look for me, please tell me! I will listen carefully."

Cui Yuan pondered for a moment and said frankly: "I am here to explain it to Your Majesty for two rumors today."

Li Shi smiled, without an interface.

"The first rumor is that I colluded with the Uighurs and trapped Your Majesty in the west to surrender the city." Cui Yuan cut off the railway line: "Your Majesty, I absolutely have no such thing!"

"I know, so I just laughed it off, but I hope the Prime Minister can find the rumor-monger and punish it according to the Tang Dynasty's laws! Otherwise it will affect the reputation of the Prime Minister."

Although the Li family said this, Zhu Xicai's coincidence made him suspicious, and he was afraid that the rumor was true. He smiled and said, "Come to find me for this little thing. The Prime Minister is indeed a bit of a big deal, so let's talk about the next one!"

Of course, Cui Yuan would not think that this was a big deal. That incident has always been a problem for him. The incident suddenly emerged after half a year, which shows that someone who is interested has been staring at this matter in secret. If it is not settled as soon as possible, the person hiding in the dark must have another move. As for Zhang Huan's identity, maintaining his identity as a concubine of the Zhang family is far more important than the Li royal family. At least it cannot be recognized in the official documents, and he must also calm the matter.

"The old minister is grateful to Your Majesty for your trust. The second thing I want to say is about Zhang Huan, the general of the Tianqi Camp. Now, there are rumors in Chang'an that he is the son of Prince Yu. The old minister thinks this is really ridiculous. It is because he is the concubine of the Zhang family, so he is unable to inherit the position of the head of the Zhang family. This is well-known. Zhang Ruohao will never make such a joke about the clan affairs of the Zhang family in Hedong. This rumor must be that someone wants to provoke the relationship between Your Majesty and Zhang Huan, thereby gaining the benefits of the fisherman."

Li nodded. First, Cui Xiaofu's reminder, now Cui Yuan's analysis, he gradually became suspicious of the authenticity of the rumor. He also remembered very clearly that the person who cleaned up the East Palace was Cui Yuan. If there was really something that missed the net, he should have the surname Cui instead of Zhang.

However, there is another doubt that the Li Group has not yet been clarified, that is, whose child is Zhang Huan's mother Chu Wanlan pregnant, whether it is Zhang Ruohao or Zhang Potian, or someone else, he must figure it out, otherwise he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"I will not believe that Zhang Huan's General of the Tianqi Camp will not be easily dismissed, but the Prime Minister's government affairs are heavy, so don't worry about these nonsense in the future."

"Your Majesty, three people become tigers, people's words are terrifying! These rumors will not only affect the reputation of the old minister, but will also make some people who have fantasies about the prince Yu Bao have a strange intention. The old minister came to see Your Majesty today to ask Your Majesty to take action and stop these rumors."

The Li family had gradually heard Cui Yuan’s intentions. He looked at him vigilantly and sneered coldly: “Then how do you want me to stop it?”

Cui Yuan said slowly: "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe it, please give your Majesty the decree to clarify these two rumors."

Li Shi didn't speak for a long time, and he had already learned Cui Yuan's scheming. He never made a decision for no reason. He had a purpose in everything he did. Today, he only gave himself an order for two rumors. This is definitely not that simple. The collusion between the Uighurs has passed, and there is no evidence. I can not mention it for the time being, but Zhang Huan's life experience is quite a bit of a slight comprehension. This is related to his own personal interests and must not be careless.

At this moment, Li Shi was once again suspicious by Cui Yuan’s strange request. Is that rumors true?

"Prime Minister, it's okay to ask me to issue an edict, but you must tell me whether Zhang Huan is my eldest brother's son?"

Cui Yuan smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, is he true? It doesn't matter whether he is true. What's important is that the court must not recognize him as the son of Prince Yu."

Just when the emperor and the two were hurt by the rumors in the imperial study room, Cui Xiaofu's phoenix chariot had already arrived in Dongneiyuan. The training of the polo players in Dongneiyuan was in full swing, and the days of the competition were getting closer and closer, and the final strengthening of each team also reached a climax.

Zhang Huan sat on the high wooden platform. Although he was waiting and training, it was obvious that he had lost his mind. Yes, polo was no longer important to him. What was important was the future. This was a game between masters. Everyone around him was always sly and slid, and everyone had power. Only Zhang Huan was the weakest, so he was in the eyes of the storm of this power struggle.

How to successfully escape from this power struggle is not only a test of his intelligence, but also a test of whether he can reach a high position. The so-called royal bloodline is actually not worth a fortune, but what is important is strength.

Like Pei Jun and Cui Yuan, Zhang Huan is also waiting for the opportunity, but just waiting is not enough. The key is that he has to find a way to push the situation in a positive direction, and how can his Three Thousand Days Cavalry Camp leave Chang'an.

These seem to be difficult to get to the sky, but he must do it. He needs a key in front of him. Suddenly, he felt something and looked up to the east. Zhang Huan's eyes gradually narrowed. In the distance, a team of hundreds of people surrounded the queen's phoenix chariot was coming here. Zhang Huan smiled faintly. It's a coincidence that his key was coming.

"My minister Zhang Huan welcomes the Empress."

After a while, Cui Xiaofu's gentle laughter came from the carriage, "Your Majesty no longer cares about his polo team, but I am concerned, and the game is about to be played. I want to see their training situation."

"The boys are working very hard. Please rest assured that they will not let down the Empress's expectations."

"I have to see with my own eyes to be relieved." Cui Xiaofu slowly got out of the car. She smiled at Zhang Huan and said, "My niece is here too today. She is quite interested in Dongneiyuan. Please ask General Zhang to accompany her to walk everywhere."

As she said that, Cui Xiaofu waved to the car, and saw Cui Ning walking out of the car with a pink pleated skirt. Her snow-white skin made her look extremely pretty. She drooped her eyes and walked out of the car gracefully, never daring to look at Zhang Huan.

"I want to see the players' training. General Zhang, Princess Qinghe, please ask you." Cui Xiaofu looked at Zhang Huan meaningfully, and then headed towards the polo court surrounded by palace ladies.

A gust of autumn wind blew, blowing up Cui Ning's skirt, bringing her a hint of chill, "Let's go over there!" Zhang Huan pointed to several buildings, "The wind was a little smaller there."

Cui Ning nodded, followed Zhang Huan and walked south. After walking dozens of steps, the two of them still did not speak. They walked silently and silently, with more than a dozen personal soldiers and two palace maids following them without leaving a single step.

To drive these annoying guys away, Zhang Huan quietly waved his fists to them. Cui Ning lowered his head and smiled, and gave him a blank look. Zhang Huan's charming look made Zhang Huan feel excited. He looked back again, and more than a dozen of annoying personal soldiers were still following him slowly. Zhang Huan had to sigh helplessly.

In front is a small forest, with yellow fallen leaves covered with the fragrance of wild fruits.

"How are you now?" Cui Ning asked with her head down, her voice so low that it was covered by the rustling sound under her feet.

"Not good!" Zhang Huan shook his head.

"Why?" Cui Ning raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

"I'm thinking about being alone, but I can't see her. She clearly lives in Daming Palace, and I'm in Dongneiyuan. She can definitely see how the soldiers play polo, but she just refuses to come. After finally, she asked me to accompany her to see the scenery. She doesn't know what I want to see, not the scenery?"

Cui Ning smiled but said nothing. After the passion on the Qujiang Pool burned, her longing for him became deeper. She thought about him all the time every day, paying attention to all the news about him. He defeated the Uighurs and was awarded the founding prince. She was happier and more excited than everyone. He accompanied the emperor to Taiyuan and heard that he met an assassin, and she was worried and worried about him. Later, his bizarre life story was heard in the market, and she was worried and nervous about him. But today he finally heard him reveal his true feelings to him.

Cui Ning felt sweeter than drinking honey. He only felt that with his words, the longing and suffering of the past six months of the past six months were worth it.

But he couldn't underestimate himself too much, making him feel that he didn't know anything. Cui Ning bit his lip and laughed in a low voice: "Oh! I don't know that he was thinking of me, and I thought he had forgotten everything he said by the Qujiang Pool. Alas! I am a man who is born stupid and can't be a polo strategist, nor any grandfather treats to him. How can I fight for him? So I had to hide from afar, so how could I dare to come to Dongneiyuan again to disturb him? "

Speaking of this, she gave him a sweet and charming look. Zhang Huan was fascinated by her charming eyes. He smiled and pulled her to him and said ambiguously: "But I didn't pair with them, but I'm pairing with you here."

Cui Ning was hugged by him, and her heart was sweet and nervous. She tucked her hands together, her face was red with shame, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Zhang Huan gently raised her face, Cui Ning's eyes closed, her whole body trembled slightly, and her hands grabbed his arm tightly. Zhang Huan could no longer bear it, lowered her head and kissed her red lips, with too long anticipation and a hint of violent wildness, she hugged her tightly in her arms.

In his strong manly aura, Cui Ning had completely lost herself. She hugged his waist with all her strength and catered to his kiss. At this moment, she had to dedicate her body and mind, her deep love, and everything she had to do to him. They didn't need to say anything anymore, they were already in love with each other, and time and space could not block their longing.

A leaf fell, blocking the shy sunshine. The soldiers had already tactfully avoided it from afar. They were talking and laughing loudly in the distance, as if they wanted to tell the people in the woods that they were quiet and no one would disturb them.

Cui Ning laughed happily from the woods, as if the yellow orioles passing through the treetops in the golden autumn. She and Zhang Huan walked out of the woods holding hands. Her face was filled with dazzling brilliance, and all the sadness and sorrow between her eyebrows disappeared. Happiness and happiness returned to her face again. More than a dozen personal soldiers were so scared that they ran to the other end of the woods, stumbled, and were in a mess.

They walked to the stream and sat down. The grass was soft and the warm sunlight shone on them. Zhang Huan pulled out a few golden flowers, woven into a simple garland, and put it on her. Cui Ning sighed happily and snuggled gently in his arms. At this moment, how she hoped that time could stop at this moment.

Zhang Huan looked down at Cui Ning, deeply moved by her fleeting beauty that only women had during love,

Everything on her face, the curve of her red lips, her snow-white and crystal skin, the vague smile on her face, the brilliance in her eyes, the sweetness of her voice, and even the half-angry and half-smiling attitude she mentioned when she was blind dates.

All of this made him fascinated, and he loved her very much.

Cui Ning fell in his arms, her eyes gradually became blurred, and at this moment, her body and mind quietly opened to him.

"I want to leave our best moment to our wedding candle." Zhang Huan whispered gently in her ear, Cui Ning nodded shyly, blushed and buried her head in his arms.
