The next day, dawn.

Princess Taiping got up early in the morning, personally combed Xue Shao's hair and changed his clothes, and put on his armor.

From childhood to adulthood, there have always been only people who serve Princess Taiping like this. But now, she is meticulous and extremely serious.

"That's it!" Princess Taiping put her face on Xue Shao's face, looked at the person in the bronze mirror, and said, "My man is the most handsome and mighty in the world!" ”

Xue Shao stroked her face, "I'm leaving." ”

"Go in peace!" Princess Taiping smiled, her eyes were full of tenderness and perseverance, and she said seriously, "There is no need to worry about family affairs. Above the court, everything has me! ”

Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, in the past, Princess Taiping only talked about "family matters" at most, but now she mentioned one more sentence "above the court".

"There are some things that I haven't had time to tell you." Princess Taiping said, "During your trip to Yangzhou, I did three major things. ”

"What's the matter?"

Princess Taiping said: "First, I cleaned up Liu Huaiyi for my mother. ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao was slightly surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

"After all, it's a bad habit that is hard to change, Liu Huaiyi was honest for a few days, and he made my mother angry again." Princess Taiping said, "It's okay just to bump my mother with words, and he talked about some secrets in the palace everywhere." My mother couldn't bear it anymore, so I helped him disappear. ”

Xue Shao nodded silently, to put it bluntly, it was just a family matter. Liu Huaiyi can't live because of his own evils, and he is quiet when he dies.

"The second piece." Princess Taiping said, "I dug your corner and promoted Wei Yuanzhong from the Liupinxia official Wailang to the Imperial History of Zuosu Zhengtai." ”

Xue Shao was stunned, "You did it?" ”

"Yes, I did." Princess Taiping smiled slightly, "Liu Huaiyi's errand is well done, and my mother is rewarded." I made a request, and my mother agreed. ”

Xue Shao smiled, this mother and daughter will always be so strange......

"Why don't you ask, the third big thing?" Princess Taiping asked.

Xue Shao knew that this must be a good finale, so he asked with a smile: "Could it be that you can still recommend the prime minister?" ”

"You've guessed it." Princess Taiping said, "That day, my mother chatted with me and inadvertently talked about Di Renjie, the governor of Lingzhou. I'll just say that I have heard of Di Gong's name many times, and even Xue Lang praised Di Gong as the prime minister of Wang Zuo in his heart. Now that Lingzhou has stabilized, Di Gong's political achievements are also outstanding, why doesn't his mother recall Di Gong to reuse it? ”

Xue Shao was stunned, "Do you really dare to talk nonsense?" ”

"I am not related to Di Renjie, I am completely sincere and honest in promoting virtue for the country, and it is in private chats, why don't I dare to say it?" Princess Taiping smiled, "The amazing thing is that my mother actually agreed again." She said that Di Renjie is just and upright, not smart and wise, whether he is an official in the capital or a local official, he has quite a lot of political achievements. She was planning to find a suitable time to transfer Di Renjie back to the Central Committee for reuse, and maybe let him enter the cabinet to pay respects. ”

Xue Shao nodded, "If you want to get involved in politics, I won't stop you." But remember, everything is done in moderation. ”

"Don't worry, I know." Princess Taiping smiled and nodded, "Do you think that I am still the confused little princess ten years ago?" ”

Xue Shao pinched her face with a smile, "I used to be a little confused, but now I'm a big confused." ”

"In the future, I'm going to be your old fool." Princess Taiping stretched out her hand to cover Xue Shao's hand on her face, and said softly, "After the battle, remember to come back early." ”

Xue Shao hugged her tightly in his arms, then let go of her and turned around to leave.

Princess Taiping hugged him from behind, "Let me hold him for a while, just a ......little while."

So Xue Shao hugged her tightly.

After a while, Princess Taiping let go of her, only a smile on her face, and helped Xue Shao straighten her clothes, and said, "There is a person, you have never said that you want to see her." ”

Xue Shao knew that she was referring to Xuan Yunzi.

"War is imminent, and we can only talk about it later." Xue Shaodao.

Princess Taiping nodded, "There is one more trivial matter, I will help you take Shangguan Wan'er's mother out of the palace and temporarily live in the old mansion of Wang Yu's family." If you feel that it is inappropriate, I will make alternative arrangements. ”

"It's up to you to decide all these things."

Princess Taiping swallowed back a thousand words, and said two words with a smile, "Go!" ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Wu Ming and Yue Nu had already prepared their horses and were waiting for Xue Shao.

Xue Shao was a little surprised when he saw her father and daughter, and stepped forward and said, "You stay at home." ”

originally thought that the moon slave would have a dispute as before, but this time it was Wu Ming who stepped forward. He bowed to Xue Shao with his fists and said seriously: "Ask the master, take us with you!" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Wu Ming has been with me for ten years, and he has almost never made a request. Why this time?

Xue Shao hesitated slightly, and Wu Ming's father and daughter actually knelt down.

"It doesn't have to be that way, I promise you."

For a while, Xue Shao didn't have time to think about it or interrogate, the three of them rode out of the door and went straight to the Luoshui camp.

After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, for the first time as the Son of Heaven, he was about to give the general who was going to give the expedition an axe. Taking advantage of these three days, she arranged a very grand and grand swearing-in ceremony. Today, she brought the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and above the fifth rank to the Luoshui camp, even half an hour earlier than Xue Shao.

Xue Shao didn't know any of this in advance. Because he was in a hurry to go on the expedition, Xue Shao even wanted to save the oath-taking ceremony. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian made such an arrangement, and she set off from the palace early without sleeping all night, just to preside over the ceremony in person.

The empress was also kind, although Xue Shao had never liked cumbersome ceremonies, but he accepted it calmly.

In the last westward expedition, most of the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Tiger Division stayed in the four towns of Anxi and did not return. Now the Luoshui army has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is the strongest ace division among all the soldiers and horses currently stationed in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Xue Shao dismounted and walked into the camp at Yuanmen, 50,000 soldiers spontaneously raised their swords and guns and shouted, like a stormy wave, and the earth shook the mountains!

Wu Zetian once again witnessed with his own eyes what is the prestige of a general. A few years ago, when she had not yet ascended the throne, she had also witnessed Xue Shao's oath once. At that time, Xue Shao shouted to his army, desperately boosting morale. The officers and men of the three armed forces responded, and the momentum was also amazing.

But time has passed, as soon as Xue Shao appears today, there is no need to say a word or even express any action, and the three armies are already boiling!

Xue Shao strode in front of the empress in a military uniform, raised his hand, and the shouts gradually subsided.

"Minister Xue Shao, meet Your Majesty! - Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Xue Shao led the generals to pay homage together, and 50,000 soldiers joined together. Once again, the earth shook the mountains.

Wu Zetian smiled with satisfaction.

As a woman, it was difficult for Wu Zetian to establish real prestige in the army. But what satisfies Xue Shao the most is that he always gives priority to her as the empress, and always makes her feel that Xue Shao's prestige is her prestige.

The swearing-in meeting began, and the gods were sacrificed first.

Xue Shao saw Shangguan Wan'er, she held the sacrificial text written by herself and offered it to the hand of the celebrant wine. Then when she returned to Wu Zetian's side, she fell on Xue Shao's side very tacitly.

The memorial text is not short, and it takes a while to recite it. Everyone listened very reverently and attentively, and they also had to follow the order of the sacrificial wine to do the act of kneeling.

When he got up after worshipping God for the first time, Xue Shaoyi stretched out his hand and shook Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er was obviously very nervous and hesitant, but she was even more excited, and shook Xue Shao's hand tightly, her nails almost pinched the skin of his hand, and then quickly let go.

After that, the two only had to exchange an occasional look. didn't touch the other party again and didn't exchange a word, until all the ceremonies were over, Xue Shao turned over and rode on the horse.

"Go ahead, send a gift to your lover, and say a few words to him." Wu Zetian suddenly whispered to Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er was almost startled, "Your Majesty...... Don't dare! ”

"Human nature, why don't you dare?" Wu Zetian said lightly, "Do you plan to be sneaky with him all your life?" ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er was speechless for a moment, so she had to nod and walk towards Xue Shao.

The army was already marching one after another, and Xue Shao was explaining some things to Xue Chuyu and other generals. Suddenly seeing Shangguan Wan'er coming over, he was a little surprised.

The ministers of civil and military affairs present were also a little stunned. speculated, did Your Majesty want the relationship between Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er to be made public?

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er approaching, Xue Shao jumped off the horse, took a step forward and bowed with his fists, "Yuzheng, what does Your Majesty command?" ”

Xue Shao's worship was like negotiating official business, which not only resolved a lot of embarrassment in Shangguan Wan'er's heart, but also gave the onlookers no excuse to talk about it.

"Your Majesty asked me to come, send one to you." Shangguan Wan'er looked at Xue Shao's eyes and said softly.

Xue Shao stood three steps away from her and smiled, "I didn't even have time to say goodbye to you. Don't be angry, okay? ”

"Needless to say. The only thing I want is for you to return safely as soon as possible. Promise me. Shangguan Wan'er still looked at Xue Shao's eyes and said seriously.

Xue Shao nodded.

Shangguan Wan'er saluted Xue Shao, turned around and left.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, turned over on his horse again, bowed to Wu Zetian from afar, and waved his hand: "Brother Paoze, let's go!" ”

Watching Xue Shao take a group of generals and ride away with a tiger and a tiger, Wu Zetian couldn't help but whisper: "Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. Wan'er, you are just as good as Taiping, and you can meet the most outstanding young hero in the world in your most beautiful years. ”

Shangguan Wan'er blushed and lowered her head, how dare she talk?

"When he returns triumphantly, I will hold a wedding for him." Wu Zetian said, "Wan'er, are you willing?" ”

"This! ......" Shangguan Wan'er was suddenly shocked and speechless.

Wu Zetian just smiled, "After thinking clearly, tell me again." ”
