Chapter 96: Emperor Li Zhi
Wu Zetian saw Princess Taiping kneeling in front of him, but he did not rush to reprimand angrily, but said calmly: "What are you guilty of?" ”
The voice is calm, not angry but mighty.
"The emperor was impulsive and killed a ...... by mistake The prostitutes of Pingkangfang! Princess Taiping knelt on the ground, put on a standard pitiful pose, drooped her face and pursed her eyebrows, and said timidly.
Wu Zetian snorted, "You can say that it is light!" ”
"Queen Mother, the emperor has already learned that he is wrong...... No, the emperor didn't continue to play outside, and immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake! Princess Taiping whispered pitifully.
"Is it all over if you admit your mistakes?" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice.
"That, that's difficult, why not let the emperor give a lowly prostitute to her fate?" Princess Taiping's eyes widened and she said in horror.
"......" Wu Zetian was a little speechless, took a deep breath, and said sharply: "Say, why did you kill her?" ”
"Because she had an affair with Xue Lang before!" Princess Taiping replied with 1510.
"Confused!" Wu Zetian was really a little angry now, and scolded sharply, "You are a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and you actually went to compete with a prostitute and be jealous, wouldn't you lose all the royal face?!" ”
"Queen Mother, the emperor already knows that he is wrong!" Princess Taiping pouted her face and begged for mercy bitterly, looking at that expression, it seemed that the mountain rain was about to come, and she was about to cry.
"Have you forgotten all that I taught you in the past?!" The more Wu Zetian spoke, the more angry he became, and he said in a fierce voice, "Taiping, you really disappointed me!" ”
"Ask the queen mother to punish you, and the emperor will admit it!" Princess Taiping said, obediently prostrate to the ground, looking like a good girl who was heartbroken and honestly accepted punishment.
Taiping actually started to play with me?
This is Wu Zetian's first reaction in his heart, what kind of heart is the daughter I brought up by myself, can I still not know the way? In the past, whenever she did anything wrong, she would cleverly defend herself or shirk the responsibility to her eunuchs and palace maids, so that they could take it for her. But she didn't blame Xue Shao or Wu Chenghei today, but took all the blame for the incident on her own head and tried her best to ask for the guilt, obviously wanting to choose Xue Shao from it and deliberately conceal the conflict between Xue Shao and Wu Chenghe, so as not to make me angry with Xue Shao!
In this way, she knows a little bit about it!
For a while, Wu Zetian didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.
should be angry that the daughter who has been brought by himself for sixteen years will play tricks with him for a man he has just met; Fortunately, my daughter has grown up and become more sensible after all.
Perhaps, it is really a woman's big ......
"Queen Mother......" Princess Taiping's timid call broke Wu Zetian's contemplation.
"Then you will be punished for grounding, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for half a year!" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice, "Besides, you must no longer interact with Xue Shao!" ”
"The queen mother spares her life!" Princess Taiping cried out bitterly, "Xue Lang hasn't done anything wrong, so why should he be involved?" ”
"Involved?" Wu Zetian sneered, "I didn't cure him!" ”
"......" Princess Taiping was speechless with a bitter face, and whispered timidly, "The queen mother didn't let me meet him, but it was even more ruthless than curing his crime!" ”
"Nonsense!" Wu Zetian scolded sharply, "Then Xue Shao is clearly unvirtuous and unfrugal, and you have only known him for a few days, and you have caused such a scandal!" In the long run, how's it going? ”
"Queen Mother...... Xue Lang used to be quite romantic, but now he doesn't. Princess Taiping had a bitter face, kneeling and refusing to move, "Everything is the child's fault, one person does things and one person is responsible, he really didn't do anything wrong!" ”
"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say anything more - you go down!"
"Ask the queen mother to be gracious!" Princess Taiping knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and her heart couldn't help but be very worried...... I promised Xue Lang before, but I will bear whatever happens, and I didn't think that borrowing a book would really make such a big thing!
Wu Zetian stroked his sleeves in annoyance, "Left and right, the princess fork will be out of the coffin!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing behind Wu Zetian, had a slightly cold face, she couldn't imagine that the queen of heaven was so decisive, and she must have wanted to take the opportunity to ruin the marriage between Princess Taiping and Xue Shao...... It seems that she still has a trace of fantasy in her heart after all, and wants the son and nephew of the martial family to marry the princess!
"Your Highness, the little slave is offended!" The eunuchs on the left and right were about to make a move, when suddenly there was a long promise at the door-
"Your Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
Wu Zetian's face darkened slightly, and he glared at Princess Taiping, and hurriedly got up from his seat to greet the door, "Concubine greetings Your Majesty!" …… Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, why didn't he rest in the Hanbing Palace, but ran to the Xuanzheng Palace? ”
Li Zhi, who is in his early fifties, has a rich body and inconvenient legs and feet, and is supported by strong eunuchs on the left and right, and his sickly flushed eyes are not too good, and his voice reveals a little weakness, but he is laughing, "It has been raining for days and it is rare to have a sunny day, and I feel that my body has improved, so I came to see the queen - hey, isn't that peaceful, why are you kneeling on the ground?" ”
Princess Taiping stepped forward obediently, "The emperor greets his father, His Majesty!" ”
"Good, good!" Li Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand to Princess Taiping, "Come, let me see!" I haven't seen my baby daughter in a few days! ”
"The emperor asks his father and His Majesty to be healthy!" Princess Taiping obediently came to Li Zhi's side and grabbed his elbow, and said with a smile, "The emperor also misses his father very much!" ”
Wu Zetian watched coldly from the sidelines, and said in his heart that your father and daughter have joined forces to play in front of me!
"I'm going to talk to the princess about homely things. Stand down, all of you! Li Zhi sat down and put his crutches aside and ordered.
The palace people all retreated according to the order and closed the door.
"Come here, sit down."
Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping sat down on Li Zhi's left and right.
"My eyes aren't very good, but my ears are okay. I was only halfway up the dragon tail road when I heard the queen's roar. Li Zhi's voice was a little low and weak, and he said unhurriedly, "Taiping, what big mistake did you make to make your queen mother so angry?" ”
"Father, it's my fault, the queen mother should be punished!" Princess Taiping whispered timidly.
Wu Zetian is really angry and funny, are you still selling off by retreating?
"What the hell is going on?" Li Zhi asked a little impatiently.
Princess Taiping had no choice but to pinch the beginning and end of the matter, and said it concisely, and finally emphasized that "the queen mother does not allow me to meet Xue Lang."
Without waiting for Li Zhi to speak, Wu Zetian took over and said: "Your Majesty, that Xue Shao is frivolous and uninhibited, does not govern the family and does not guard the door, and the concubines are worried that Taiping will get along with him too much and will be brought bad!" ”
"Mei Niang! Hehe! There were no outsiders present, Li Zhi habitually called Wu Zetian's small characters, and laughed easily, "You said that in this world, the farmer who farms the land still wants to ask for an extra concubine after collecting three or five buckets of wheat millet, let alone a relative of the royal family?" If a noble child of Xue Shao's age is not romantic, he is either incompetent, or he is incomprehensible, or he is in poor health. All three of these are not enough for Taiping to get close to it. Besides, I have already found out from many sources that Xue Shao has greatly restrained himself since he got acquainted with Taiping, and he has never patronized the place of lust and has begun to cultivate himself, study and practice martial arts. The young prodigal son turned back and had the courage to forge ahead, which is a good thing, proving that he has grown into a man who truly understands responsibility and responsibility. Why worry too much about all the things before, who hasn't come from a young and frivolous world? ”
Wu Zetian was speechless. In fact, when she saw Li Zhi appear here today, she already knew in her heart - His Majesty has always advocated that Taiping should be married to the Guannei Wang clan and is definitely not a martial artist, and he is here today for the Taiping and Xue Shao matter.
In the final analysis, Emperor Li Zhi also has a secular "family concept" in his heart, believing that only the traditional family with the surname is the real noble, and the men of the Wu family are humble and the men of the Wu family are not worthy of peace at all! …… Moreover, His Majesty was a little afraid that the power of the martial arts family would be too strong in the future, so he insisted on refusing to let Princess Taiping, the only concubine, marry into the martial family again!
This somewhat made Wu Zetian a little worried!
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the two saints have been husband and wife for more than 30 years, they have experienced countless ups and downs together, the relationship between husband and wife is extremely deep, and His Majesty the emperor's trust and reliance on the queen is beyond anyone else, and he even intended to abdicate the throne and let the queen directly come to power - but in fact, there are some differences and open and secret battles between the two saints!
None of this is enough for outsiders to understand - but the baby daughter of the second saint must know it!
Therefore, Taiping moved Emperor Li Zhi out at this juncture. This is not unexpected by Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian knows in his heart that even if he really wants to "abolish" the possibility of the marriage between Taiping and Xue Shao, sooner or later he will have to have the approval of His Majesty the Emperor. It's not necessarily a bad thing to talk about it sooner!
"Mei Niang, do you think I have a point?" Li Zhi smiled cutely, and there was no emperor's stand between his words, it was really like gossip.
Wu Zetian nodded plausibly, "What Your Majesty said is not unreasonable. ”
"Why don't you do it!" Li Zhi patted his thigh, "You and I have no basis for what we say, so it's better to call Xue Shao and ask him face to face." I haven't seen this nephew in years, so I might as well test him in person today to see what kind of character he is! If he is really a frivolous and unlearned waste boy, according to your wishes, he will never be allowed to meet again, what do you think? ”
Li Zhidu talked about this, and Wu Zetian naturally didn't want to say more, so he had to nod, "That's it, it's okay!" ”
Princess Taiping sat obediently on the side without interjecting a word, and then her heart jumped up suddenly, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Xue Shao, Xue Lang, Xue Lang, that's all I can do. Use all your strength, you have to beat this level no matter what!
……
Xue Shao sat in the study with the demon and quietly transcribed "The Mirror of the Six Armies". The weather cleared, and the feng shui project of Xuefu was launched again, and it was busy again.
Everything was as usual.
A chamberlain in the palace suddenly came to Xue's mansion and announced that Xue Shao entered the palace to meet him. It was the same person as the eunuch who came to Li Xianyuan's house that day to announce Xue Shao's entry into the palace, and even the carriage sent and the words he said were the same: "Xue Gongzi, please!" ”
Xue Shao didn't say a word, boarded the car and left.
The people of the Xue Mansion were so worried that the moon slave was almost about to bring a sword and enter the palace with Xue Shao. Li Xianyuan persuaded the moon slave to stop, took the turtle shell copper coin that had been stained with Xue Shao's "blood lead", and hung it on the spot, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Xue Gongzi may be a loss of his horse, and he knows that it is not a disaster!" ”
"Don't bite the words with me and make a fuss, you just say it's a good thing or a bad thing?" Yuenu said coldly, "Say it quickly, or I'll beat you!" ”
Li Xianyuan's face cramped, and he shrunk his neck and said timidly: "Maybe it's a good thing...... Maybe......! ”
"Charlatans, really begging for a beating!!".
