The next morning, Xue Shao woke up in a daze, feeling his arms numb. He turned his head to look to the left, and a pretty face was resting on his arm, sleeping soundly. Looking to the right again, he saw that he had the same beautiful face, and he was sleeping soundly on his right arm.

What's the situation?

Xue Shao felt a little dizzy, and after thinking about it carefully, he recalled that he seemed to have taken Yu Hongye's carriage home yesterday, and then was taken to the bath by Linlang to take a bath.

That bath seems to have been a little long, and there is still a little bit of lewdness. The Linlang sisters seemed to like to snap in the water, and then Xue Shao was choked by them together. Later, when he returned to the room, Xue Shao didn't have a safe life, and was snapped by them until midnight.

Xue Shao's left and right arms moved, and the sisters woke up at the same time. They were like really having a heart-to-heart connection, they all let go of Xue Shao's arm, and they all reached out and hugged him, kissed one side of his cheek, and then clamped their right legs.

"Don't press, your legs are sore!" Xue Shao cried bitterly.

The sisters giggled.

"Still laughing!" Xue Shao said hatefully: "Do you want to kill me?" ”

"Husband, we are so pitiful!" Lin'er snorted, "You see that Yuenu and Chen Xian'er have already given birth to children, and our sisters have not moved. ”

"That's right!" Lang'er also said, "We have been with our husband for so long but we have not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl, I am really ashamed!" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "No one blames you." This kind of thing has to go with the flow and gradually. How can there be someone like you, who snaps all night until dawn? ”

"Hee-hee!" Linlang laughed together, and then said in unison, "Because the husband is charming, the opportunity is rare!" ”

Xue Shao woke up, and it turned out that he and Linlang were still sleeping in the master bedroom, so he asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

The sisters said that the princess and Yu Hongye talked late, and then the princess left Yu Hongye to stay, and the two slept in the guest room together.

"They're intimate." Xue Shao couldn't help blinking, thinking that Princess Taiping had always been keen on business, and she knew how to make money when she was still in the palace and not married. It is not difficult to understand that her relationship with Yu Hongye is particularly good.

Later, Xue Shao got up, and the sisters changed his clothes and combed his hair, got breakfast for him, and went out to the official office.

There is no morning dynasty today, so Xue Shao is not in a hurry. Slowly returned to the official office to do some things, and after lunch, a palace attendant came to Xue Shao and said that His Majesty had summoned him.

Xue Shao went to the imperial study of the Vientiane Divine Palace, and there were already two ministers here, one was the prime minister Cen Changqian, and the other was Yao Yuanchong, the new Fengge attendant.

As soon as Xue Shao saw this formation, he probably understood that this was to discuss the military, but it would not be a confidential military.

After a salute, Wu Zetian said: "Chengyu, this morning the frontier came to report that the Turks raised an army of 100,000 to attack the Khitan. The Khitan leader Li Quanzhong asked for help from our court. What do you think? ”

Cen Changqian has been given the surname "Wu" by Wu Zetian, so Xue Shao asked first: "I don't know Xianggong Wu, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Cen Changqian knew that Xue Shao was not inactive, but out of respect for him. So he smiled and said, "I want to listen to Xue Gong's opinion first." ”

Yao Yuanchong also nodded.

Xue Shao said: "Since our dynasty has made peace with the Turks, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to initiate disputes and provoke war. The Eight Khitan Divisions were nominally subordinate to Kyushu under the rule of the Songmo Prefecture, but the establishment of the Songdesert Prefecture was forty or fifty years ago. Now that they are strong and strong, they secretly have a heart of disobedience, and it is not a bad thing for our dynasty to let them fight with the Turks. ”

Cen Changqian said: "But the Khitan is still our nominal subordinate of the Great Zhou after all, how can the Great Zhou sit idly by? ”

"Reason, it is definitely reasonable." Xue Shao said, "I suggest one word, drag." ”

Yao Yuanchong smiled, "Two tigers are fighting viciously, and they will both be defeated?" ”

"Yes." Xue Shao said, "Your Majesty, the envoys who suggested that the Khitan should be stabilized first do not need to be in a hurry to reply, and on the grounds that our dynasty is on an expedition to the Western Regions is insufficient, delay for a while and let them fight a good battle first." When the time is right, we will send two more envoys to the Turks and the Khitan to mediate. If mediation can bring about a halt to the fighting, then we will enjoy the results without spending a single soldier. If mediation is useless, I will finally consider intervening with troops. The minister thought that Tang Xiujing, the governor of Yunzhou, might be up to this important task. ”

"What do you two think?" Wu Zetian asked.

Cen Changqian and Yao Yuanchong both nodded, "That's very good!" ”

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction, the three in front of him can be regarded as the most proficient military ministers in the court. Lou Shide may not be bad, but his time in the dynasty is still short, and he is not enough to counsel the imperial military aircraft. In fact, at the moment, Xue Shao told her a clear way very early. Now that he has been unanimously approved by Cen Changqian and Yao Yuanchong, Wu Zetian can be more at ease and completely convinced. As a result, she also trusted and valued Xue Shao more.

The military aircraft meeting in front of the emperor was over, and Xue Shao was about to leave with Cen Changqian and others, but Wu Zetian kept him and said that there was something else to discuss with him.

Xue Shao stayed, and then Princess Taiping actually came. With her, there is also Yu Hongye.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little surprised, why did the two of them come? Especially Yu Hongye, no matter how she is, she is just a businesswoman, and ordinary people and scholars look down on her. Now she was able to enter the Imperial City, step into the Vientiane Divine Palace, and be summoned by the Emperor of the Ninety-Five.

If this spreads, it can be regarded as an earth-shattering anecdote!

Although Yu Hongye has seen a lot of the world, it is really the first time in her life to enter the palace to see the emperor, so she is a little nervous. She deliberately changed into a white dress that was "standard" for a merchant to show her humility, and knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.

"You're Yu Hongye?" Wu Zetian said curiously, "Flatten, raise your head, and let me take a look." ”

"Yes......" Yu Hongye stood up, and slowly raised her head with a crimson face.

"Yo, what a beautiful Peugeot!" Wu Zetian laughed happily on the spot, "I have heard your name for a long time, and I have always thought that you are a capable and rough woman. Unexpectedly, you are a handsome girl who is graceful and graceful. If I hadn't learned the details, I would have recognized you as a famous lady and a nobleman! ”

"The minister is a cheap businessman, and he doesn't dare to be praised by His Majesty." Yu Hongye replied cautiously, still a little nervous.

The shore of the land is not the king's minister, and all the people of the world can call themselves "ministers" when they see the emperor.

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Mother, you don't like what you say. ”

Wu Zetian was slightly stunned, "What did I not hear?" ”

Xue Shao was laughing on the side, and only Princess Taiping dared to talk to the empress like this.

Princess Taiping said: "There is an old saying, heroes don't ask where they come from. In the daughter's view, although the merchant girls are from humble backgrounds, they are smart, hardworking, diligent and pragmatic, work hard to do business and support themselves, and create a lot of tax wealth for the country. As far as the country and the people are concerned, they are far more useful than those daughters of princes and ministers who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun! ”

Wu Zetian laughed, she didn't know that Princess Taiping was slapping her ass, but this fart was very comfortable for Wu Zetian. Because Wu Zetian himself used to be the daughter of a "businessman".

Yu Hongye was afraid to move, and Xue Shao laughed and said silently, saying that the person who is the best at slapping Wu Zetian in the world is none other than Princess Taiping!

"Yu Hongye, I know most of your righteous deeds in Helong, and I know more about them." Wu Zetian said, "The world says that businessmen are only interested in pleasure, and they don't know the people's livelihood and don't care about the rise and fall of the country. In fact, Guan Zhong put forward the theory of 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', and listed businessmen as equally important as scholars. It's just that time has passed, and this statement has gradually been misunderstood by the world. The country is not rich without businessmen, and who says that businessmen are not important to the country? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yu Hongye bowed down again.

"Flat." Wu Zetian smiled and said, "You have made great contributions to the country, and I deserve to be rewarded." However, you don't seem to be married yet, right? ”

Yu Hongye's face turned red, and he replied in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed not married yet......

"It's a bit tricky." Wu Zetian muttered, "If you become a relative, I can make you the Lady of the Decree, and from then on you will have a title and become a noble." ”

"Your Majesty!" Yu Hongye hurriedly said, "The little girl doesn't aspire to become a nobleman. Nothing bad about businessmen! ”

"Ambitious!" Wu Zetian nodded in approval, "Say, what do you want?" As long as I can reward you, I will give it to you! ”

Yu Hongye was slightly confused, and shook his head, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want anything......"

Wu Zetian smiled, "I forgot, your rich side doesn't lack anything." ”

Princess Taiping hurriedly interjected, "Mother, why don't you give her the surname Wu and make her a county lord!" ”

"Nonsense!" Wu Zetian and Xue Shao rebuked in unison.

Yu Hongye hurriedly knelt down again, "The minister will never dare!" ”

"Yu Hongye, you don't have to be nervous. Flatten! Wu Zetian smiled and said, "It's better for you to go back first." When I think about it, I will reward you. ”

Yu Hongye hurriedly thanked him and retreated.

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao with an unhappy expression.

Wu Zetian said: "Taiping, how can you be full of nonsense? You still have many cousins' daughters who have never been rewarded, if I give it to the lord of Yu Hongye County, one is against the patriarchal law, and the other is that your cousins will not all have to make a fuss? In this way, wouldn't Yu Hongye want to become the target of public criticism? ”

"......" Princess Taiping nodded, but still looked at Xue Shao with an unhappy face.

Wu Zetian obviously saw that his daughter was angry, so he shook his head and smiled, "That's it, you husband and wife go back and discuss!" After thinking clearly, let's remind me again, how should I reward Yu Hongye? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The couple left the Vientiane Shrine and went home, and neither of them spoke much on the way.

When she arrived at home, Princess Taiping said angrily: "Xue Lang, why did you stop me just now? Isn't it good to let Yu Hongye become the county lord of the royal family? That's more popular than any knighthood! ”

"There's nothing wrong with the royal county lord." Xue Shao said lightly: "The premise is that twenty years later, it will be your martial family's cousin who will rule the world." ”

One sentence woke up Princess Taiping, she was suddenly stunned, and muttered: "How can you let the dog meat prime minister's gang inherit my mother's throne?" …… Looks like I'm really miscalculated! ”.
