Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2481 Don't flinch

Cui Dunli was dumbfounded.

He now understands why Weiwei Temple and his party were able to come out of the martial-lawed Chang'an city. No matter who the captain of the city guard is, what can they do in the face of such an old rascal?
Before you could do anything, he blackmailed you first...

Cui Dunli is not considered a gentleman, and he admires conspiracies and methods, but facing Dugu Lan, who is playing a rogue, he is helpless and furious: "You are the elder of the two dynasties, and you are even a relative of the emperor. You have killed so many heroes, aren't you afraid of tarnishing Dugu's reputation by acting like this? Even the younger generation can't bear to see Dugu's shame because of this."

Dugu Lan sighed, patted Cui Dunli on the shoulder again, and said in a low voice helplessly: "Why would this old man be willing to do this? It's just that the family's talents are withering now, just like the river is declining. If the old man can't take advantage of his breath, he can find a job for his children and grandchildren." The future, I'm afraid it won't take a few years, and some old guys in the clan have died, and I'm afraid there won't even be a top-notch family."

As he said that, he glanced at Cui Dunli again, his eyes were bright, and he approached him and asked: "This old man cherishes Anshang's character and talent, if he can give his wife a divorce letter and marry my daughter from the Dugu family If you are a legal wife, then not only do you just give up today, but from now on, all the resources and connections of the Dugu Clan will be used by you to help you ascend to the court, worship the prime minister, and govern the world. I wonder if you can consider it?"

"..."

Cui Dunli was speechless, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Divorce? !
Fortunately, you can think it out and say it!
Who has I, Cui Dunli, become?
Not to mention that he and his wife agree with each other in love and raise eyebrows in the same case, it is absolutely impossible to divorce and remarry. What do you compare the Dugu family to the fact that his wife, Fan Yang, is from the Lu family?Comparing resources, connections, and background, your Dugu family is not up to par!

If it was 30 years ago, the two families might still be comparable, but now, the Dugu family seems to be in decline and talents are dying, while the five surnames and Qiwang including Fan Yang and Lu are thriving, how stupid I am In order to get rid of a regular wife with five surnames and Qiwang, and marry your Hu girl from the Dugu clan?
Seeing his face changing with indignation, Dugu Lan said: "Look, even you don't like my Dugu family. If the old man can't put up his old face to support the younger generation in the family, in less than ten years, the Dugu family will disappear. Well...so, don't blame the old man for still hoping to be safe."

After saying that, before Cui Dunli could react, he saw Dugu Lan took a step forward, bumped into his shoulder, and then exclaimed "Oops", took a step back and sat on the ground.

"Bold!"

"How dare you hit someone!"

"Mother! Our Wei Weiqing also dares to fight, your Ministry of War is amazing!"

"Hula la!" Seeing Dugu Lan fell to the ground, the hundred and ten people from Weiwei Temple rushed up one by one in an instant, surrounded Cui Dunli, and shouted and cursed one after another.

The military officials behind Cui Dunli couldn't see it well. Although they didn't see how Dugulan fell, they couldn't let Shilang Cui be beaten anyway, otherwise they would have to be hung up by Fang Jun and whipped later - Fang Jun always Protect your weaknesses, no matter what mistakes you make, it is your own business to punish your own family members, but if you allow your colleagues to be humiliated in front of outsiders, it is a heinous crime!

Military officials rushed forward, protecting Cui Dunli, not giving an inch.

"Which of your eyes saw Cui Shilang beating someone?"

"The road is slippery in rainy days, Duke Dugu is old and frail, and he accidentally slipped and fell, what do you do like Cui Shilang?"

"Do you want to blackmail people?"

……

The officials of the two yamen pointed at each other's noses and cursed, but no one dared to do anything.

Surrounded by the crowd, Cui Dunli stared at Dugu Lan who was being lifted up by the servants, his eyes were tearing apart, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.

Shameless especially!
Deceiving too much!

The majestic Duke of the court and the minister of the Nine Temples actually use such rogue means to blackmail people, what face?
Can you still show some face!

Looking at Cui Dunli's ashen face and eyes that seemed to be breathing fire, Dugu Lan showed no embarrassment at all. With the help of his servants, he stood up, dusted off the muddy water on his official robe, and said with a smile: "Hang on, do you think it's an apology to the old man and we are private, or just enter the city and let the old man go to the gate of the Tai Chi Hall to knock on the gate, please Your Majesty to uphold justice?"

Cui Dunli's face was livid, his cheek muscles twitched, and his teeth creaked.

If this old man was 20 years younger, no matter what kind of royal relatives he was, no matter what kind of veterans of the two dynasties he was, Cui Dunli felt that he would definitely rush forward, ride him under him and beat him up violently.

But now Dugu Lan relies on the old to sell the old, and throws his face on the ground to play a rogue, even if he is so angry that he is going to die, how dare he make a move?
Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, the old man's identity, qualifications, and age are all there. When he is in front of His Majesty Li Er, even if it is just to appease Dugu Lan, he must be the one who is punished.

Compared with others, I am nothing but a mere military servant...

Can you compromise on this?
That's not Cui Dunli's style.

He made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't touch a finger of yours. Even if you died on the spot, it has nothing to do with you! Whether it's Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or even in front of Your Majesty, it's all in the end. Is there a place for reasoning? Even if there is really no reasoning, the next official will admit it today! But if you want to take Changsun Guang away, it is absolutely impossible!"

All the officials of Weiwei Temple shut up one after another, looking at Cui Dunli in surprise.

This guy is really tough, don't you know what the consequences will be this time?Although the Guanlong aristocrats are on the decline again and are not as beautiful as before, they are replaced by the Jiangnan gentry and poor families. The Shandong family including the Cui family are still not favored by His Majesty and want to be promoted to The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is simply as difficult as climbing the sky.

Doesn't this person miss you at all?

What a fool!
Dugu Lan didn't think so. Being strongly rejected by Cui Dunli, instead of becoming angry from embarrassment, he became more appreciative. He walked up to Cui Dunli with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Have you figured it out? This matter was originally caused by your military department's disregard for power and profit." There is nothing wrong, but you have to be restrained by the court, right? Besides, the old man is not boasting, only relying on his muddy body, when he comes to His Majesty, you, the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War, will definitely be held to the end...Why do you have to sacrifice your life to Fang Jun like this? Your own future is more important."

Cui Dunli snorted angrily: "How can a sparrow know the great ambitions? The officials are upright and bright, and they have great pride in their hearts. Even if they are dismissed today, they can't make such shameless actions of the county master come true!"

Dugu Lan seemed not to understand the sarcasm in Cui Dunli's words, with a kind smile on his old face: "It is the duty of Weiwei Temple to interrogate soldiers who violated military discipline. Cui Shilang overstepped his authority to enforce the law, but he can speak so righteously. , the old man really admires you more and more."

Although Cui Dunli is a child of a noble family, he is a scholar at heart, and cannot achieve Dugu Lan's level, so his face blushes immediately.

It was originally that the Ministry of War wanted to take away the right to judge the general from Weiwei Temple, and now being ridiculed by Dugu Lan, it was inevitable that his face would become hot, but no matter how embarrassed he was, he straightened his back and did not retreat half a step.

Is the military department justified in this matter?

Certainly not.

But above the officialdom, there are only rules and no reason.

He, Cui Dunli, was highly valued by Fang Jun. If he came to handle this matter, if he failed to do so, he would be overstepping his authority to enforce the law and fight for power and profit. Maybe Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment could intervene; He is a talented person in the world, and everyone from the DPRK and China will give Gao a look, and he will have a bright future in the future.

Ability is the most important thing above the court. You can face difficulties for the headquarters regardless of personal gains and losses, and even accomplish the impossible. This is a talent.

As for whether it violated the law or not, it doesn't matter.

If you make a mistake, you have to be punished, but after you are punished, your ability to handle affairs will definitely attract people's attention, not to mention that the minister must rely on him as a confidant and entrust him with important tasks, how can the other yamen not value such a talent and want to recruit him over , to be reused?
Once fame rises, it becomes a trend.

Everything in the world is inseparable from a "momentum". As long as the general trend is established, it will naturally flourish and get twice the result with half the effort.

Fang Jun was able to entrust him with such an important task, how could he not seize this opportunity, expand his reputation from the Ministry of War, enter the eyes of the court chiefs, and even be favored by His Majesty again?

You know, he was highly valued by His Majesty a long time ago!
In the eighth year of Wude, Cui Dunli was recommended by others to serve as a general officer. Although he was born in a family in Shandong, his official position and power were not high, but he was able to show himself in a few limited opportunities to face the saint, and he was very popular with Li. Second His Majesty valued.
