The loss of Quan Ce reached its peak in June of the second year of the Heavenly Grant.

At the court meeting that day, Li Zhaode relied on the favor of the Empress Wu, and won the will to give marriage to the clansmen who were still cloth clothes, and there were only a few mentions in the will to marry the Li clan and the eldest lady of the Yun family in Longxi, most of the space was used to praise Li Zhaode's wealth and wealth without forgetting his origin, and often having a grateful heart of virtue and ethics. Let the Gao'an Princess Mansion have suffering, not to mention, her own lining and face are also complete.

It's just that when he first ascended to the stage, he was so high-profile and strong, which attracted many people's sideways, especially Cen Changqian and Wu Chenghe, who ranked first and second respectively according to power, and their faces were very ugly.

In addition, Empress Wu was in a unhappy mood before the Scattered Dynasty, and expressed dissatisfaction with the current regulation and humanities of the Shendu, believing that the Shendu was inferior to Chang'an, which was very reasonable, and could not match the grace and generosity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and must be greatly transformed in order to conform to the status of the capital of the Great Zhou.

Li Zhaode's brain turned quickly, and immediately put forward the two agendas of the expansion of the outer city of Shendu and the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people to enrich the Shendu, these two things, one is poisonous and the other has honey, and the migrating people are very easy to cause instability among the people, and cause trouble, even if it is done by luck, there are also professional provocative imperial histories waiting, and the expansion of the outer city is the gold and silver sea, which is only the cheapest wall brick for corruption, and it is enough for three generations of children and grandchildren to be used inexhaustibly.

"Li Aiqing's discussion is very good, Zhuqing, who can take on this important responsibility?" The color of the martial queen is slightly dark, looking down on the ministers.

The Chinese martial arts of the dynasty wanted to swallow honey, but did not want to take poison, so they hesitated, and one of them was an exception, that is, the imperial history of Cheng Lai Junchen, he was not afraid of taking poison, strode away from the bed, came to the hall, and said earnestly, "The courtier is supported by His Majesty, and is often ashamed of his ineffective ability, and he is willing to do his best to add luster to the prosperity of the divine capital."

"Hmm" Empress Wu nodded lightly, looking sideways, "What do you think?" "This secretary is not referring to the courtiers, but to the prime ministers sitting on the right side of the throne.

Cen Changqian sat upright, like a mud tire and wood plastic, without saying a word, Wu Chengsi's face trembled, as if he was holding back a breath, the rest of the people not only did not dare to speak, but they didn't dare to breathe, Li Zhaode was hot, stealing his limelight, he was asking for trouble, Lai Junchen is a cool official, and it will be fatal if he provokes him.

They didn't want to think about it, without the consent of the Empress Wu, who would dare to move her minions?

Li Zhaode was honest and polite, and came to the palace and said, "The minister thinks that it is very appropriate to come to Zhongcheng to be brave in doing things, but the scale of this migration of the people is huge, and the local cooperation is still necessary, so please order Luoyang Sima Wang Lu to assist in coming to Zhongcheng."

With his words, Lai Junchen's face suddenly turned black, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled, and the Xia Guanshang Shulou Shide, who was not far behind him, also had an ugly face.

"Quasi-playing" Empress Wu lightly opened her lips, and all the twists and turns could only be held in her stomach, "Li Aiqing, who should do the construction of the city?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xia Guan Lou Shangshu once presided over the construction of the city in Biansai, and he must be quite experienced" Li Zhaode's dates were sent to his eyes with his backhand.

Lou Shide is not a temperament that can be manipulated by others, and he is out of the ranks, "The ministers dare not be the ministers, the construction of the city is very different from the construction of the capital, Li Xiang once presided over the government affairs of the Dongguan Yamen, and he wants to be more experienced in the matter of engineering" but he refused.

Li Zhaode frowned slightly, and he was not polite, "That is the case, the minister is courageous, and Mao recommends himself"

"Anyway, with the respect of the prime minister, the construction of things, want to come to Luoyang, the capital of my gods, soon, will be able to be depressed and grandiose" Empress Wu agreed, do not forget to issue an order, so that the local official yamen, the winter official yamen and the Luoyang government and other official offices cooperate with each other.

Many officials came out to receive the order together, and there was no slander in their hearts, even if there was no mention of this sentence, they did not dare to slack off on the errand that Li Zhaode explained, this is a fierce man who dared to pit Junchen and Lou Shide.

Wang Miao walked around many times to no avail, and the Empress Wu issued a decree to give marriage, Princess Gao'an's mansion sank up and down, the loss of Quan Ce was just hating his own incompetence and not being able to shelter his relatives, but Wang Hui's loss was related to life, although he was forced to laugh in front of people, he lost his usual cheerfulness, and often was in a silent daze.

Quan Ce held a banquet in Princess Taiping's mansion, and brought Wang Hui alive, so it was better to scatter his heart.

The guests came from three religions and nine streams, there were people he knew well, Cui Rong, Li Qiao, Du Xianyan, Song Zhiwen, Zhang Shuo and other colleagues and old friends, Hou Sizhi invited his uncle and father-in-law Li Zicai, Lu Zhaoyin invited Lu Chaoren, the core figure of the Fan Yang Lu family, and invited his cousin-in-law, General Youyu Yuwei to envoy Fan Yunxian, and he was not very familiar with other people, such as Gao Jian, the young eunuch of Qintian, and Cui Xiang, a bachelor of Hanlin.

There was a familiar stranger, Zheng Jingsi, the great-grandson of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who had met Quan Ce, but it was like meeting for the first time.

In fact, not only Zheng Jingsi, Lu Chaoren, Li Zicai, these family figures, went to his group's bureau, most of them looked at the golden signboard of Princess Taiping, which can be clearly seen from their tendency to worship Cui Xiang, and even more so than to support themselves.

The banquet was staggered, singing and dancing, Quan Ce just laughed and drank with him, and refused to compose poems, so the others were happy, especially Cui Xiang, who was extremely good at such occasions, and there were people who deliberately touted it, and he didn't know what day it was.

His eyes are full of prosperity and beauty, but Quan Ce gradually feels lonely.

"Da Lang" sinked on his shoulder, Wang Hui pressed his hand on his shoulder, his tongue was big, his mouth was full of wine, and he took advantage of the Qingming in his eyes to explain, "Remember to send me back to the house, I choose a bed, especially after drinking, don't pay attention, I'm afraid that my shoulders and back will be sore tomorrow morning, and I will have to train and not delay"

Under the right policy, it is good to get drunk and forget about your troubles.

When people are drunk, they understand best in their hearts that indeed, this is not his home, this is prosperous, and it does not belong to him, and the gloomy and misty Gao'an Princess Mansion is his home.

Quan Ce drank all the wine in the cup, the drunken smoke gradually dimmed, and he didn't know that he was a guest in his dream, and he was greedy for joy for a while, and now, he should wake up from a dream for a long time.

"Quan Langjun, Shangguan is waiting for the edict to go to the banquet" The porter did not dare to stop Shangguan Wan'er, and at the same time as the steward reported, Quan Ce saw Shangguan Wan'er's posture fluttering in.

He struggled to get up, his posture was a little floating, he gave his hands to welcome, squinted his eyes and searched for a moment, found the leading crowd, and stood up to greet Shangguan Wan'er's Cui Xiang, "Waiting for the edict to come in person, Peng Sheng is shining, but the banquet is disabled, and I hope to be forgiving, and I can't drink enough, so I ask Brother Cui to entertain on my behalf."

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand to stop Cui Xiang's action of stepping forward, waved away Hou Sizhi and the others who were supporting Quan Ce, and personally half-supported and half-hugged him, ignoring everyone's strange eyes, "Since Da Lang is drunk, he will take a bath and settle down first, where is the bedroom?" ”

The second half of the sentence was asked by the people of Princess Taiping's house, and the servant was also obedient, so he didn't say a word, and turned straight to lead the way.

Behind him, many people looked complicated, and Cui Xiang, who should have reacted the most, drank and wrote poems as before, as if nothing happened.

Quan Ce's wine woke up when he entered the room, not that he was pretending to be drunk, but that he was frightened.

Shangguan Wan'er entered the bedroom, then retreated, took off her whole body clothes, revealing her porcelain white body, and her flesh was shining in the light.

"Da Lang, Wan'er is already willing to you, even if you are a dark room, it is okay, but you hate Lang Jun's affection, hesitation, looking forward and backward, there has never been a moment of warmth" Shangguan Wan'er said, tears poured out from her eyes, "Wan'er wants to thank you, thank you for avenging me, do you know why Xue Huaiyi was scolded by the rod that day?" It's not just because the big Buddha is not human blood and lies to deceive the king, but because of that beast, he broke into the palace at night and humiliated me......"

When the words fell here, he couldn't cry, pointing to his body, "I haven't whispered for a long time, do you know what she has experienced?" Wu Chengsi soared, Wu Sansi was depressed, do you know how His Majesty appeased? ”

Quan Ce couldn't bear to listen anymore, stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and it was not difficult to envelop Wan'er in his posture, but in his heart, he felt more and more humble and small, he was not only unkind, but also cowardly.

Empress Wu repeatedly scolded him for not being able to do big things, Princess Taiping repeatedly reprimanded him for his superiority, he didn't think so, he thought he was right, in order to survive, he had to be reluctant in the end, looking back, but it was just an excuse, along the way, killing many evils, he was bent on survival, how could he really run for his family and friends? How did you really take responsibility?

The depressed introspection of the past few days came together, Quan Ce whimpered and sobbed, and crystal tears rolled down his nose and fell on Shangguan Wan'er's snow-white back, poignant and picturesque.
