Chapter 66: Bullying the Prime Minister

To prevent Cui Xi from turning over, he was to stain him. After some thought, Chen Wanrong finally decided to work hard on the word "bullying".

For people like Cui Shi, detaining him is a serious crime, let alone hurting his body and destroying him. This will not only not achieve the goal of destroying Cui Shi, but will instead help him. If he grits his teeth and survives, he will gain the reputation of "not fearing power", have more capital and higher prestige, and will become a hero in the minds of all officials and have greater appeal.

Chen Wanrong would never be so stupid. If he bullies, it will not hurt Cui Shi's body, but will also lose all his prestige. Drinking feces is an inevitable choice.

It can be imagined that if Cui Xi poured a head of manure, once this matter spreads, his reputation will be very bad. All officials look down on him, so the prime minister will not think about doing it. Which emperor would use a person who poured a lot of manure to be prime minister?

That is a humiliation for oneself. Even if all officials don’t say it, will future generations not say it? Will historical books not record it?

Even if the Emperor Ruizong had the demeanor of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who was humiliated by Han Xin, as a general, he would no longer use Cui Shi. The reason is that Cui Shi was not Han Xin, and Han Xin was humiliated for no reason, while Cui Shi took his own humiliation. The difference between the two is very big.

Even if Princess Taiping wants to preserve Cui Shi's prestige, it is impossible for Princess Taiping to protect Cui Shi. After Cui Shi's prestige plummeted, Ruizong will definitely not use him as prime minister. So will Princess Taiping risk offending Ruizong to protect Cui Shi? With Princess Taiping's shrewdness, she will definitely not.

Not only will he not guarantee Cui Xi, it would be nice to not take advantage of the situation. As for Cui Xi, he still misses Princess Taiping's goodness and wants to sleep with Princess Taiping, that is a delusion. Princess Taiping will never be good to him again. Not to mention lovers, it is just between husband and wife. If Cui Xi suffers such humiliation, it is unknown what his wife will think, let alone Princess Taiping, who is determined to kill.

As for Chen Wanrong's own punishment, Chen Wanrong doesn't care about it. There must be punishment, it depends on the severity. As long as Chen Wanrong grasps the right measure, at most he will lose his official position, and it will not endanger his life or drag down his family. Whether he is an official or not, Chen Wanrong doesn't care about it at all. If he has no official position, he can do my chemical industry with peace of mind.

It was precisely because of the pros and cons that Chen Wanrong decided to insult Cui Xi. However, Wu and the others did not understand Chen Wanrong's intention. After hearing this, they turned their faces apart and looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise: "Boss, this is a wife..." The word "excessive" was not said.

Zheng Qing was also suspicious, and pulled Chen Wanrong and whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "I know, you are all for me, I'm very satisfied, let's just stop here." He blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Wanrong anxiously.

Chen Wanrong understood her thoughts, smiled slightly, muttered in her ear for a while, explaining her thoughts. Zheng Qing never expected that Chen Wanrong would think of a solution so quickly when he saw the opportunity. Although there was a great risk of insulting Cui Xi, it was worth taking this risk, otherwise the Chen and Zheng family would not be able to live in the future.

After thinking about it, Zheng Qing was very happy and whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you think. No matter what you do, I will support you."

Getting Yiren's support is more important than anything else. Chen Wanrong was also happy and said, "I understand. Uncle Wu, why? Don't you want to listen to me?"

Uncle Wu knew that Chen Wanrong was a good person and had always listened to Chen Wanrong's words, but this matter was too shocking. Uncle Wu couldn't do anything without being in trouble. He hesitated for a while and said, "Boss, it's better to report this matter to the emperor."

Now let’s report to Ruizong. Ruizong at most will he scold Cui Xi, so that he will not endanger his official position. Once this matter is over, Cui Xi will inevitably take revenge wildly. Chen Wanrong will not deserve the loss. He said with a lewd look on his face: “Uncle Wu, I’ll ask you again, do it or not?”

Uncle Wu was completely helpless and asked Niu Shangxin for help. Niu Shangxin thought about it and nodded to Uncle Wu: "Uncle Zhao, go with Uncle Wu. Get more!"

Niu Shangxin and the others are both old people around Ruizong. They are all self-organized. When encountering difficulties, it is normal to ask Niu Shangxin for help. However, Wu and the others never expected that Niu Shangxin would agree. They all stared at Niu Shangxin with great surprise, as if they didn't know each other.

"Go quickly!" Niu Shangxin urged.

Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao were helpless and had to get the manure.

Chen Zairong walked to Chen Wanrong and asked, "Brother, do you really want to pour him manure?"

Chen Wanrong didn't say anything, just nodded. Chen Zairong wanted to persuade him, but suddenly he figured it out and smiled at Chen Wanrong and said, "Brother, in addition to pouring feces, he should also tidy him up."

Chen Wanrong didn't say anything, and looked at Brother Shuhan and Yang Sixu. They nodded at him and expressed their praise. They saw things clearly and understood Chen Wanrong's intentions. Chen Wanrong admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

Geshuhan is a chivalrous and righteous person, helps trouble, and is very disdainful of Cui Shi's actions. However, because he is the prime minister of the court, he has no choice but to do something that is not painful. If he can defeat Cui Shi, then Chang'an will be less harmful. Why not do it?

Yang Sixu was loyal to Li Longji, so he naturally had to consider Li Longji. If he could defeat Cui Shi, it would be of great benefit to Li Longji. If he had the opportunity, Li Longji took the opportunity to arrange his confidant to replace Cui Shi, which would be great. Of course, it is hard to say whether this step is feasible. At least, take off Cui Shi and do it first.

Therefore, Yang Sixu and Geshuhan not only did not stop Chen Wanrong, but also thought about how to help Chen Wanrong carry out this matter to the end.

Chen Wanrong could also guess one or two of their abacus. Chen Wanrong is now on the string and has to fire it. Of course, it is best to get their help.

Sima Chengzhen took the actions of Chen Wanrong, Yang Sixu, and Geshuhan into his eyes, and made him realize something, but he didn't stop him and let them do it.

After a while, Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao turned around. They carried a bucket of stinky manure and put it in front of Kuaishou. Cui Shi was so dizzy that he pinched his nose and shouted: "Release, lift it away! You dare to disrespect yourself!"

It's already this time, and it's still making a name for itself, leaving nothing to say.

Chen Wanrong rolled up his sleeves, looked at Cui Xi, and smiled coldly: "Old turtle, I see how long can you be stubborn?"

He was about to pour manure on Cui Xi, and Niu Shangxin came over and grabbed him and said, "Boss, let me talk."

Chen Wanrong was surprised to see that he was serious and seemed to have something to say, so he had to go aside with him: "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly."

Niu Shangxin looked around and saw that no one was following him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Boss, you don't have to do this, you just need Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao to do it."

Chen Wanrong didn't think about it and shook his head and said, "No! This matter is to be punished. Once the court blames it, I will feel at ease if I let Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao suffer? I'll do it myself. If the court asks the crime, I will bear it."

Niu Shangxin raised his thumb and praised: "Boss, you are such a good person! Boss, I am really grateful to you for your thoughts on Wu and the others. The emperor gave you the secret residence to find a good place for us. The emperor has a great vision!"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "This is what I should do, don't remember it in your heart."

Niu Shangxin continued: "Boss, we remember your kindness to us. How can we let you suffer? If Cui Shi escapes this time, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the boss, and we will be unlucky as well, so I think it's better to defeat him."

It is normal for people to have their own little abacus.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "I know your thoughts. However, this matter cannot implicate you, otherwise I will be sorry to the emperor." Ruizong handed over Niu Shangxin and the others to Chen Wanrong, asking Chen Wanrong to take good care of them. If he was convicted of this, Chen Wanrong would feel sorry for it.

Niu Shangxin shook his head and said, "Boss, you don't know anything about this. It's perfect for letting Uncle Wu and Zhao Bolai do this. Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao used to serve Concubine De. Not to mention pouring some feces, no matter how big it is, the emperor will not blame him."

Concubine De is Concubine Dou De, Li Longji's biological mother. Niu Shangxin mentioned Concubine De, because this involves a period of court secret. After the first abdication of Ruizong, he was still in the whirlpool of power and strategy. He was wise and did not care about the government. However, who could have thought about the good and bad luck of people every day?

Wei Tuaner, the maid whom Wu Zetian favored, fell in love with Ruizong and wanted to have an affair with him. Ruizong knew that the power and tricks at that time were too complicated, so he refused Wei Tuaner. Wei Tuaner held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on Ruizong. Of course, Wei Tuaner also knew that Ruizong was Wu Zetian's own son. After Wu Zetian killed Li Xian, although he eliminated the power and tricks of becoming emperor, he felt uncomfortable, after all, he was his own son. It was too difficult to let Wu Zetian kill Ruizong.

Wei Tuaner was also scheming and could not deal with Ruizong, so he came to deal with his concubines. Wei Tuaner buried a puppet in the residence of Liu Concubine Liu and Dou Defei of Ruizong, and reported that they were using demon guru and cursed Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian naturally believed it. On the second day of the first lunar month of Changshou (693 AD), when Liu Concubine Dou Defei came to the palace to pay his respects to Wu Zetian, he secretly executed Wu Zetian.

This matter was shameless, and Wu Zetian knew the fault and sent someone to secretly bury the corpse of the second concubine. No one knows where the corpse of the second concubine is, and it has become a mystery. Ruizong was in a difficult situation at that time and did not ask about it. He pretended to be nothing in front of others, but was secretly sad. After Ruizong ascended the throne again, he could only summon the souls of the second concubines.

Of course, the matter is not over yet. Later, someone reported that Dou Defei's mother had a wrong plan and was sentenced to death and almost lost her life. The reason why Pang Shi was able to survive was because the censor Xu Yougong came to help her cleanse her. Pang Shi was innocent, but Xu Yougong added the charge of "A Party's evil rebellion" and was almost hanged. Although she was spared from death, she was also dismissed.

This incident became the eternal pain in Ruizong’s heart!

Between Concubine Liu and Concubine Dou De, Ruizong valued Concubine Dou De more, of course it was related to Li Longji. It was Li Longji's successful coup that pushed Ruizong to the throne again. Ruizong was grateful to Li Longji, and loved the house and missed him a little more for Concubine Dou De.

Wu Bo and Zhao Bo once served Dou Defei. In the minds of Ruizong and Li Longji, they were naturally very kind and treated as relatives in their hearts. It was precisely because of this that Ruizong checked Chen Wanrong's good character and gave the secret residence to Chen Wanrong, in order to let Chen Wanrong take good care of these old people.

Of course, Ruizong and Li Longji can also take care of these old people, but letting Chen Wanrong take care of them, not only repay Chen Wanrong's life-saving grace, but also entrust the old people to the best of both worlds, why not do it?

With this relationship, Wu Bo and Zhao should not say that they poured feces on Cui Xi. Even if it was a bit more serious, Ruizong would not blame him. At most, he would just scold him without any pain.

Once these old people are involved, Ruizong will definitely stick to his own ideas, and Li Longji will also support it. In order not to let the father and son get too close, Princess Taiping has to support it even though she is unwilling to do so. In this way, what else can the ministers do? Who would offend the three giants for the inconspicuous servants?

As soon as Chen Wanrong was reminded, he immediately understood that Niu Shangxin had a good intention to reduce Chen Wanrong's guilt. After thinking about it, he said, "This idea is good, but I don't know what Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao are thinking?"

Niu Shangxin shouted, Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao came over, Niu Shangxin said his thoughts, Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao agreed without saying a word: "Boss, don't worry, we will do it!"

Chen Wanrong took action and asked Wu Bo and the others to take action. The crime was somewhat different, but it would not be too big. The size of the crime was not important. The important thing was to find an excuse for Ruizong to excuse Chen Wanrong, which was a little bit easier.

However, Chen Wanrong was still worried: "If it was really dangerous, you would push it on me and say I did it."

Wu Bo and Zhao Boqi said: "Don't worry, boss, we can still bear this matter. The emperor will never exile us, let alone kill us. If you have no life, you will be worried about your life."

Anyway, they are already servants, so what can they do to them?

The four of them turned around, Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao rolled up their sleeves and rushed up, each step on Cui Shi, lifting the bucket, and then dripping it on Cui Shi's head.

Cui Shi softened his body and hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, no, don't! I agree with whatever you want me to do." He was a wise man, very clear that as long as a bucket of manure is taken down, his appearance will be lost and he has no power. It is difficult for him to take revenge.

He said this, but he was thinking in his heart, "I will deal with you after passing this level!"

Chen Wanrong ignored him, waved his hand, and Uncle Wu was about to fall down again. Cui Shi really had no idea: "I am the princess, how dare you disrespect the princess!"

"Who are you from the princess?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

"The person next to the pillow!" Cui Shi blurted out, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough and swallowed it back. If he dared to say this in public, he would be dead, and Princess Taiping would definitely kill him.

Chen Wanrong joked: "We are also princesses! We are princess' subjects!"

Uncle Wu exerted force and a thud, and a bucket of feces fell on Cui Shi's head. Cui Shi was shocked and opened his mouth, filling his mouth with feces, so he hurriedly shut up. Uncle Zhao was also cruel enough to pinch his nose. Cui Shi couldn't breathe and had to open his mouth. The feces flowed into his mouth again. As he breathed, he got a stomachache.

Cui Wei felt his stomach rolling, his nausea was so nauseous that he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Cui Shi felt the sky spinning, his head buzzing, and he kicked his feet and fell to the ground, fainting.

Chen Wanrong felt relieved: "Old turtle, you have today too!"

Yang Sixu said, "Fry him with cold water."

Geshuhan was meticulous and said, "Find a piece of cloth and slap his mouth!"

This is to prevent Cui Shi from committing suicide by biting his tongue. Chen Wanrong can bully him, but cannot let him die. If Cui Shi is angry and grits his teeth and commits suicide, Chen Wanrong will be in trouble and will destroy the nine clans. Even if Ruizong doesn't want to kill him, he will not be able to do so.

Niu Shangxin went quickly. When he turned around, he had a piece of linen in his hand. Geshu Han took it and walked over. Wu Bo pinched Cui Xi's mouth. Geshu tied the linen into his mouth and tied a knot behind his head. In this way, Cui Xi would not be able to commit suicide even if he wanted to commit suicide.

After several buckets of cold water fell, Cui Shi woke up, feeling ashamed and angry. He felt ruthless in his heart, and he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide. After exerting force, he found that he had stuffed cloth into his mouth and could not commit suicide. He wanted to pull cloth with his hands, but he grabbed Ge Shu Han and tied his hands behind his back. Cui Shi was now unable to survive and unable to die, so he could only look at Chen Wanrong viciously, as if fire was about to spit out of his eyes.

Chen Wanrong was not afraid at all and sneered: "Old turtle, did you ever think of today when you did evil?"

Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhao looked at Chen Wanrong and asked, "What else do you want to do, boss?"

Chen Wanrong said without thinking: "The old turtle is disobedient and spanked."

Zheng Qing called Chen Wanrong and asked, "Is it a real fight?"

Chen Wanrong nodded slightly and said, "Of course!" Since it is a bully, he must bully it home so that he will never turn over.

Zheng Qing knew it was not a joke, so she hurriedly avoided it and left quickly.

Ge Shuhan lifted Cui Xi like a chicken, pulled off his pants, exposed his fat butt, slapped it on it, and cursed with a smile: "White and tender!"

Cui Shi was angry, and suddenly turned his head and stared at Geshuhan. Geshuhan smiled and said, "You are humiliating yourself!" He slapped his right hand again, making a crisp sound.

This was indeed a humiliation for oneself. Cui Shi, who was unsuccessful in his pursuit of death, had to choose to shut up. However, Wu Bo and Zhao did not forgive him. Wu Bo said, "Come here." Ge Shu Han used it and let Cui Shi's big butt face the two of them.

Uncle Wu slapped him hard and asked, "Are you still doing evil?"

Unwilling to fall behind, Zhao Bo kicked: "A such a big official, but he didn't learn well at all! When he was young, your parents couldn't discipline him well, and now it's too late to regret it."

You two, I slap them. I can’t do anything. Cui Shi’s butt is red, even redder than a monkey’s butt, all of which are slap marks.

Cui Xi had never been bullied so much in his life. He couldn't curse or struggle. Ge Shuhan's hands were as iron as iron, and he could not use any force at all, but his eyes were turned pale.

Just now, Cui Xi was still thinking about revenge, but now he understood very well that he had deprived him of a bucket of manure. It was difficult to take revenge, and he could do nothing except sighing.

How horrifying it was to spank people by a dignified prime minister. Everyone felt that it was fresh and funny, and they couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, with a sound, the door was opened, and a group of officers and soldiers came in, surrounded by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was Wu Chongxun, the son of Princess Taiping. When Cui Shi saw it was him, he seemed to have caught a straw by someone who fell into the water, and his eyes were lit: "Sir, save me!"
