Chapter 621
Hearing the sound of Peng Zhang leaving, Mu Jiaojiao patted Cui Pu's hairy hand that was still twitching on her arm. "Now are you satisfied?"

"No." Cui Pu said angrily, "I said a long time ago that this bastard has bad intentions for you, but you still don't believe it. Now do you believe it?"

God knows, when he saw Peng Zhang reaching out to Mu Jiaojiao, he almost couldn't help but want to run out and kick that bastard away!
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not? I don't have any feelings for him anymore." Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

"If it wasn't because of your cold words to him, do you think he just left our house intact?" Cui Pu said coldly, "God is so unfair to let this kind of villain flourish. According to him , the sage will at least make him a Duke."

"The Duke can't surpass your county king." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That's true!" Cui Pu was finally happy, and he leaned on her shoulder, "My lady, you must do what you promised me just now! My husband is waiting to eat the delicious food you made yourself."

"It's this time, and you still want to eat. Don't worry, if he hit a wall here today, what will he say to the saint when he goes back?" Mu Jiaojiao said helplessly.

They all knew how narrow-minded Peng Zhang was.Being stimulated by them in turn today, he will definitely not swallow this breath.

"Don't worry. Even if he slanders me again and the saint gets angry again, they don't dare to do anything to me. Now I am the benefactor of the entire Chang'an city. If he dares to touch me, it will be an affair with the entire Chang'an city. Enemy. This person is so shrewd, how could he induce the sage to make such mistakes? So at most they secretly do some trivial things to disgust me." Cui Pu waved his hand, not paying much attention.

Mu Jiaojiao thought for a while, then nodded. "That's right, that's what he's best at."

Peng Zhang returned to the palace with a sullen face.

Until he appeared in front of the saint, his face was not so pretty.

Seeing this, the sage couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly: "What's wrong with Peng Aiqing?"

"The humble minister has owed the grace of the saint, please punish him!" Peng Zhang immediately knelt down and shouted.

The sage can be sure - his trip to Hanyang Prince's Mansion was not smooth.Moreover, it was not going well.Therefore, the sage lowered his face: "What happened, Peng Aiqing, tell me in detail."

Peng Zhang then told about his affairs at Mu Jiaojiao's place, so it was natural to add oil and vinegar.At the end, he said again: "Princess Hanyang's medical skills are really good, and I feel ashamed. King Hanyang is still very weak, but now he can sit up and talk. When I went to see him, he even said to my minister. He said a few words. But when Weichen mentioned that you wanted to meet the saint and ask him about the siege of Chang'an in person, he refused to nod."

"Is that so?" The saint said softly, a storm was clearly surging in his eyes.

He can stand up and speak a few words, which means that his condition is not too serious.Even so, he still resolutely refused to enter the palace to see him. Does that mean he still has resentment in his heart?

Seeing that his provocation had achieved his goal, Peng Zhang hurriedly waved his hands pretending to be nervous: "But saint, please don't misunderstand! According to Wei Chen, it's not that the king of Hanyang and his wife don't want to see you saint, but..."

"But what?"

"Instead, their husband and wife are both indifferent to fame and wealth. The ministers boasted about King Hanyang's achievements over the years, and Princess Hanyang's contribution to the people. They just smiled lightly and didn't talk much. Princess Hanyang is even more Said that what she is most worried about now is King Hanyang's body, and now she just wants to stay by King Hanyang's side until he recovers. King Hanyang loves his wife like his life, and since the princess has said so, he naturally has to obey."

That is to say, in Cui Pu's eyes, the words of Mu Jiaojiao as a woman are much more useful than those of a saint like himself!As for Mu Jiaojiao, she was the one who had ridiculed her grandfather and watched her father die before her eyes.

"So that's the case, I understand." The saint nodded, his face became more gloomy and ugly, "You have worked hard, Doctor Peng, go down and rest!"

Peng Zhang's lips moved, and he said dryly: "Sage, don't be angry! This time, they have indeed made great contributions, and the King of Hanyang is indeed seriously ill. Although their actions now are arbitrary. Some, but it didn’t hurt anyone, right? I thought that when King Hanyang recovered, he would continue to serve the saint faithfully like King Fenyang!”

"I don't expect him to be like Duke Guo Ling." The saint snorted coldly.

Peng Zhang paused, and wanted to say more, but the sage yelled impatiently: "Peng Taiyi, you step down now. I have my own plans for the matter of the King of Hanyang!"

Peng Zhang was so frightened that he shivered, he quickly bowed and left.

But no one saw that his drooping face was full of smiles.

After he left, King Yong came.

"Father, I thought that the King of Hanyang and his wife didn't despise Tianzun. The reason why they haven't shown up now must be because the King of Hanyang was seriously injured and it was inconvenient to walk around. Didn't the doctor Peng also say that until now, the King of Hanyang still only He can stand up and lie down. From this we can see how much damage that arrow caused to him!"

"Of course I know this. It's just that their attitude is there. If you say how much respect they have for me, I won't believe it!" The saint said coldly.

"Father..."

"Don't talk about it anymore! They have made great contributions in guarding Chang'an, and I have already rewarded them heavily. But now, they are clearly ignoring me and even flirting with me several times. This matter must also be punished!" The saint shouted loudly.

King Yong paused, but lowered his head helplessly.

However, the saint's anger had not faded away, and a memorial from Cui Pu was delivered to his case the next day.After reading the above words, the anger in his heart dissipated.

"King Yong, you can visit him in Hanyang Palace on my behalf!" He whispered.

King Yong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he was in a hurry to respond.In the afternoon, he brought several carts full of presents to Cui Pu's residence.

Cui Pu was still lying on the bed pretending to be sick and humming.Mu Jiaojiao was sitting on the edge of the bed, bringing water to feed him.

In fact, after they returned to Chang'an that day, King Yong had already visited Cui Pu. At that time, Cui Pu's condition was very bad, and his eyes were red because of it.Coming here again now is to follow the holy order, seeing Cui Pu who has recovered a lot, King Yong is very pleased.

"Whether the King of Hanyang has been a civil servant or a military officer in recent years, he has made outstanding achievements. He has done countless good things for the people wherever he went. This time Chang'an was saved from being ransacked only because of your presence. We all appreciate your sacrifices." I can see it. Now you are just injured, and your body is a little weak. You can recover after a period of recuperation. Dad ordered me to come over to take a good look at you, so that you can recover from your illness, and other things You don't have to worry about it." The young prince stood in front of Cui Po's couch with a serious face of comfort.

But Cui Pu shook his head and said: "Yong Wang, your kindness is appreciated. However, I am indeed old, and now my body is extremely damaged. Still clinging to this position? How about giving up the position and letting the young people fight for it, maybe it can bring a new atmosphere to our new Tang Dynasty! Besides..."

He has a meal. "Emperor Xuanzong's lesson is still vivid in my mind. I am old now, and I don't want to follow in his footsteps and ruin the achievements of the first half of my life."

Hearing what he said, King Yong knew that the words and sentences on the memorial were his true intentions, and he didn't mean to compete with the saint on purpose.In this way, he didn't spend much time persuading him.

When he went back and relayed his words to the sage, the sage also sighed. "Sure enough, it's me who has a small belly and a heart, and almost wronged a pillar of the country! I feel ashamed!"

Afterwards, Cui Pu wrote two memorials in succession, insisting that the throne of the county king be passed on to the eldest son, and that he retire to take care of himself.

With such a firm mind, the sage could only tearfully agree to his request after trying to persuade him to stay but failed.However, in view of his illustrious achievements in the New Tang Dynasty over the years, the saint rewarded him with a mansion in Fanchuan Villa as a place for him to recuperate.In addition, the saint also conferred a marquis on Xiao Langjun as compensation.

Finally, when the dust settled, Cui Pu moved to Fanchuan Villa's mansion with great fanfare.Then, he sighed to Mu Jiaojiao: "Look, this emperor is so duplicity! He obviously wished us old fellows to hand over the military power and get out of here—otherwise he wouldn't suddenly leave after seeing my memorial." He changed his attitude and warmed up to me again. But for the sake of face, he had to act reluctantly to keep me again. Both parties had done enough drama, and then ended with satisfaction. This is the officialdom, exhausting people Fortunately, I have escaped now, otherwise, if I stay there, I will either be exhausted or suffocate!"

Chang'an is different from the places below.In this place, there are emperors and relatives of the emperor, and being an official is indeed not as loose as the lower ones.He is a person who is used to domineering in the local area, and he has to look at people's faces when he comes to this place, so he is really not very straightforward.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "However, I'm afraid Peng Zhang will be depressed again."

Peng Zhang was indeed depressed.

"How is it possible? How is it possible! They...they... are these two people crazy?" After learning that Cui Pu really gave up the position of county king, he and Mu Jiaojiao moved to Fanchuan villa for retirement, he The whole person is going crazy.

"Decades of traveling back and forth, seven years of suppressing the rebellion, and fifteen days of arduous defense of the city, he almost lost his life! With such a great contribution, so many achievements, he actually threw it away at will? This surname is Cui. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

If it were him, he would definitely use these outstanding achievements in exchange for more benefits.If it is not enough to add an official to a noble, it is also good to confer a wife and a son!But what about them?Just getting a marquis for the youngest son, which is too talented!
While feeling emotional in his heart, he couldn't help but think of what that little girl said back then——

"When my husband retires, we will travel together, travel around the world, and spend the rest of our lives comfortably!"

He still sneered at her naive thoughts. "For men, the most important thing is their career. When they reach their 50s and [-]s, it happens to be when their careers reach their peak. Who would be so stupid to leave what they are doing at this time and go wandering around with a woman?"

Her little face turned pale by his unceremonious words, and she pressed her red lips tightly for a while before she whispered: "I believe that as long as he loves me, he will fulfill my wish. As long as he love me enough..."

So, this Cui Liu loves her so much that he is insane, and actually retired bravely when his fame was at its peak, just to accompany her to travel the world?
Peng Zhang clenched his fists.

Her wishes came true one after another.Is she too powerful, or is he too naive?It's all such an unrealistic little girl's fantasy, why can she do what she says, and everything comes true?

No, he's going to find someone surnamed Cui, and have a good chat with him!
However, when he reached the gate of the other hall, he was stopped by someone. "The king of the county has a guest, and there are no outsiders. Doctor Peng, please go back!"

"I see that the king of the county has something important to do, and it's about the princess!" Peng Zhang said loudly.

"Then we can't let you in." Unexpectedly, the porter said.

Peng Zhang was stunned, and then heard the concierge say: "The prince said, Doctor Peng, you have been coveting the beauty of our princess for a long time, and you can't figure out how many beautiful stories about the princess. It's just that the princess grew up in Mu's family in Chang'an since she was a child. You didn't have any contact. Let's say we had a little contact later, but every time you met, there were so many people around you watching. The county king didn't know what was going on between you? You're doing it now, it's clearly deliberate. How can we give you this opportunity to destroy the relationship between the county king and the princess?"

Peng Zhang was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Well, Cui Liu, he actually took the first step to beat him up!
"I really have something important to tell him. As long as King Hanyang sees me, he will definitely not regret it." He said through gritted teeth.

"No, it's impossible for our county king to see you again, and the princess is the same. Doctor Peng, please go back! If you don't leave, then don't blame us for sending you back to the mansion!" He rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to come forward and carry him away.

A bunch of fools!The one with the surname Cui only wanted to have fun for a while, regardless of the future consequences!
Seeing this, Peng Zhang cursed in his heart, but couldn't help but backed away again and again.

Seeing him back away, the porter burst out laughing.The complacency and schadenfreude on his face were like needles piercing his heart, making his face flush with anger.

"You guys just pretend to be powerful! Now that Cui Liu has retired, his presence in front of the saint will only get lower and lower. At that time, it will be difficult for him to keep himself. You all just wait to die! " Gritting his teeth and dropping these words, he turned his head and left bitterly.
