Lishan, Huaqing Palace, Furong Building.

Summer, midday sun.

Furong Lake Lake Pavilion in the middle of the lake, thick shade of green trees. There is a cool breeze here, surrounded by a blue expanse, the fragrance of lotus flowers is fragrant, and it is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer.

Quan Ce came with the edict, and what he saw was the lively Empress Wu, as well as the chess table and black and white pieces.

With a wry smile, he sat down at the bottom, and the Empress Wu picked his chin and let him go first.

There were no surprises in the victory or defeat, and Quan Ce was repeatedly defeated.

The Empress Wu was in a good mood today, and she didn't speak, and after playing a game, she smiled and chanted to converge the chess pieces and continue to arrange the troops.

Quan Ce is as calm as an old turtle, and the level of chess is always the same, from the surface to the inside, there is no slightest fluctuation.

He will lose, and he will lose a little miserably, but he will not be emotional, let alone impetuous.

With a calm air, Empress Wu forgot to fall, but put her hand on her cheek and looked at him carefully, as if she was admiring a treasure with a bright and restrained jade bead.

"Don't you feel ashamed that you've lost, you've lost many times, or you've lost to a woman?" Empress Wu didn't hold back and began to mock.

Quan Ce smiled and replied calmly, "The minister lost to His Majesty, and no matter how many times he lost, he would not be ashamed......"

"As for losing to a woman, it is indeed a shame, but the minister thought that there would always be a chance to return this humiliation of loss and double it, so he no longer minded, but he was afraid that he would not lose enough."

Kwon Ce's smile gradually became ill-intentioned.

Empress Wu coldly ate his explicit teasing, her cheeks turned red, her eyes moistened, and she snorted softly, "Don't blame Taiping for calling you a thief, when it comes to making bad bullies, you have the ability to be tight."

Quan Ce did not refute, but came out with a serious matter, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the winter official Shangshu Zhang Cambodia is not suitable for staying in the Shendu for a long time, Your Majesty will move for a long time, and the Shendu will be stable and heavy, so you can transfer it as appropriate and appoint it separately."

"Why? Because he has offended your Chongmin brother? The Empress Wu did not change her posture, she was still in good time, her eyes were full of spring, and she casually broke through the surface and pierced the inside, as if she was joking, and she seemed to be serious.

Quan Ce shook his head and chuckled, "Hehe, Your Majesty Mingjian, he not only impeached Chongmin, but King An also impeached him almost at the same time, no matter how many hidden feelings there are, after all, it has become incompatible, Your Majesty Shengming, suppress their disputes, but it is difficult to ensure that there are ghosts and tricks in secret, and it is not good for Ning Jing in the gods"

"Speaking of which, Zhang Cambodia's qualifications are quite abundant, proficient in practice, and extremely capable, if Your Majesty is interested, he may be able to ask him to pay homage to the prime minister and take over the position of Ouyang Tong Wenchang's right minister."

Quan Ce's discussion of politics was insipid, reasonable, and did not retaliate against Zhang Cambodia for betraying him, but just asked him to move his nest and ensure that he was promoted to the prime minister as compensation.

As it has done countless times before, this is obviously a compromise method proposed by Quan Ce taking into account the overall situation of the government and the Empress Wu's desire to calm his own forces.

In the past, the martial arts queen would praise him for his safety and thoughtfulness, but this time, listening to it in his ears, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Empress Wu's heart seemed to have clusters of thorns, and she was sore and painful, and she was very uncomfortable.

The emperor's heart is a little satisfied, but the woman's heart feels very alienated.

Facing Quan Ce's bright and deep eyes, Empress Wu was cowardly and flustered for a moment, and said lightly, "This matter can be postponed, the position of prime minister has been vacant for three times, and the addition is not in a hurry, and it may not be necessary to let him ascend to the sky in one step and make up for the last prime minister."

"In this matter, the minister is just suggesting, whether Zhang Khan moves or not, whether he pays homage or not, His Majesty can make a decision."

Quan Ce lightly unloaded his strength, did not insist, and his posture was quite detached.

Empress Wu became more and more irritable, glanced at the chessboard in front of her, and lost a trace of interest.

Standing up, sitting on the side of the beauty in the Huxin Pavilion, looking at the lotus leaves, soothing a little out of control.

"Lanling Xiao Clan, what will you do with it in the future?"

Empress Wu took a few deep breaths, and for some reason, she asked this question, Lanling Xiao, she hated it deeply, and now, she was angry again, and using the hand of Quan Ce, to deal with the remnants of his grandmother Xiao Shufei, it can be regarded as a reincarnation.

"The minister thinks that the Lanling Xiao family should not be close to the Taoists, and should learn more Buddhist scriptures to resolve the calamity, Xiao Qi, Xiao Zixian and others, bad deeds are not shown, this small punishment and big commandment, when the people will wake up, strictly control the people, and return to the right path"

Quan Ce's reply made Empress Wu slightly stunned.

"Hmph, you are a bodhisattva," Wu Hou said with a sneer, "Aren't you afraid that Xiao Qi will come back and bite you back?" ”

Quan Ce turned sideways and looked at the chessboard, the black and white on it were scattered, obscure, diametrically opposed to the current political situation of the Great Zhou, the central government, the army and the localities, and even the palace, all of them were already bright or dark, stable in the palm of his Buddha, who was the prime minister, which family took refuge in whom, it was not enough to touch the overall situation, and it was not in his consideration at all.

"A drink and a peck, it is not predetermined, Lanling Xiao does not miss family affection, perverse, should have this catastrophe, if Xiao Qi can not make the clansmen wake up, but will take revenge, but also the ministers are to blame, and the ministers can only be blocked, and the water will be covered"

Quan Ce's response was still indifferent.

Empress Wu couldn't stand it anymore, snorted twice, and waved her golden water-sleeved robe, "Do you know, why don't you keep raccoon cats in the palace?" ”

Quan Ce frowned, ignored her, stepped forward to take Empress Wu's hand, and pulled her up.

A smile flowed from Empress Wu's lips, and she was about to hug him head-on, but Quan Ce refused, with a slight force in her hand, she flipped her over, and the two faced Furong Lake together.

Quan Ce wrapped one hand around the waist of the martial queen, and pressed her shoulder and back with the other, slowly down.

Empress Wu knew that Quan Ce had always been strong in such an intimate time, and he bent over obediently, his waist sinking.

The skirt is flying, and in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, two full moons slowly rise.

"Uh......"

Quan Cebuli stepped forward, and the martial queen was like an arrow, leaning forward, snorting heavily in his nose.

There are no raccoon cats in the palace, Quan Ce naturally knows the reason, at the beginning, Feng Qiwu of Quan Luo and Xue Yan, made dolls for the children of the royal family, Quan Ce specially explained, do not make raccoon cats.

Because when Concubine Xiao Shu was dying, she made a blood oath that she would be a cat and Ah Wu would be a rat in the next life, and she would die by strangulation.

Thinking of this, Quan Ce also felt that it was a reincarnation.

You don't have to wait for Concubine Xiao Shufei to come to life, isn't Quan Ce, as her grandson, taking revenge for her?

Quan Ce's heart swelled with anger for no reason, and his movements became more violent.

From the shore of Furong Lake to the pavilion in the center of the lake, there is a 100-zhang long causeway connected.

At the end of the causeway, there are many palace maids, led by Xu Hui, the commander of the plum blossom guard.

She doesn't fight for fame and fortune, and her heart is even a little simple, but in the position of the commander of the internal guard, she has seen too many conspiracies and tricks, and she has also experienced a near death.

Quan Ce is her best choice.

She padded her feet, stretched her neck, and looked into the distance.

But I only saw the back of Quan Ce, and around the back, there was a hazy Phnom Penh.

Maybe it's because of the strong wind in the lake, and the back of Quan Ce is a little ethereal and fluctuates greatly.

Faintly, there was a crackling sound, and I couldn't really hear it.
