In the evening, Xue Shao arrived at Wei Yuanzhong's house.

Wei Yuanzhong's home is quite simple and clean, and at a glance, he knows that he is not married like Li Xianyuan, and he is a master who feeds the whole family without hunger. However, the biggest difference between the two is that Li Xianyuan is not willing to marry for the time being, while Wei Yuanzhong has no one who wants to marry.

The two sat down against each other, and Wei Yuanzhong just put a cup of tea in front of Xue Shao and said, "Actually, I want to talk to Gongzi a long time ago." Helplessly, the son has been busy since he returned to Beijing, and he didn't have that opportunity. ”

"You and my brother, what other politeness can you say? If you have something to say, just say it. Xue Shao took the tea and took a sip, it tasted good.

"Okay, then I'll say it." Wei Yuanzhong didn't go around the bush either, and said bluntly, "After the case of Li Chongyi in Congzhou, I feel that the queen of heaven pays special attention to and values you. When I temporarily left the state and returned to the DPRK to resume my post, the queen of heaven asked me many times, all about your military service. ”

Xue Shao's heart lit up and he said, "You mean that the Queen of Heaven knows everything about what I did before and after joining the army?" ”

"I don't want to hide it from you, it is." Wei Yuanzhong said, "To put it mildly, I, Wei Yuanzhong, can also be regarded as a spy, and the Queen of Heaven sent me to pay attention to your every move." ”

Xue Shao nodded, "Brother Wei, you really didn't treat me as an outsider. ”

"In fact, Xue Gongzi should have been able to think that the queen of heaven is paying close attention to you all the time. Whatever you do, the diva is almost all in control. Wei Yuanzhong said, "I'm not saying that the Queen of Heaven is sending people to spy on you everywhere because she doesn't trust you. On the contrary, it is precisely because she attaches great importance to you that she wants to master your actions and know your thoughts. ”

Xue Shao secretly sighed and nodded, thinking that this might be Wu Zetian's unique method of "weighting". She is a woman after all, and she is born with a sense of security. To use an inappropriate analogy, just as a wife will pay close attention to her beloved husband's actions and psychological changes, Wu Zetian will also pay special attention to her important minister! -- Perhaps because of this, Wu Zetian became famous for engaging in spy politics in history!

"But Xue Gongzi, the few things you did really made me break out in a cold sweat for you!" Wei Yuanzhong said suddenly.

Xue Shao frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Big and small, several." Wei Yuanzhong said, "For example, your affair with Shangguan Wan'er. ”

Xue Shao raised his eyebrows, "Between me and Shangguan Wan'er, it is innocent!" ”

"Yes, maybe you're physically innocent between the two." Wei Yuanzhong looked at Xue Shao with a stern expression, "Young Master Xue, but actually?" …… Needless to say, I think you must have a number in mind! ”

Xue Shao was silent.

If the "mental derailment" between himself and Shangguan Wan'er could be sentenced, it would indeed be enough to kill his head. After all, Shangguan Wan'er is a woman in the harem and an emperor's woman!

"Regarding Shangguan Wan'er's matter, the queen of heaven is still very generous." Wei Yuanzhong said, "She even assigned Shangguan Wan'er to be Princess Taiping's concubine, didn't she?" ”

"You know?" Xue Shao was a little surprised.

Wei Yuanzhong smiled bitterly, "It's really not a secret...... This is my private advice to the Queen of Heaven! ”

"What?" Xue Shao couldn't help but be surprised, "Your advice? ”

"That's right." Wei Yuanzhong nodded, "One day, the Queen of Heaven suddenly came to me to ask about you and Shangguan Wan'er. Although I don't know the inside story, I know that if I don't have any investigation or hard evidence, the queen will not rush to ask me. At that time, I guessed that since she asked me, an outsider, she definitely didn't want to punish you with this matter. So I followed her advice and gave it that advice. Outcome...... The queen of heaven really adopted it! ”

"Brother Wei, you are really wise!" Xue Shao couldn't help but take a breath, it turned out that Wu Zetian was staring at me so closely!

"As for Shangguan Wan'er not becoming Princess Taiping's concubine in the end, it's another story." Wei Yuanzhong said, "I feel that the Queen of Heaven is actually quite open-minded and tolerant of you, after all, you are the minister of the outer court, and Shangguan Wan'er is the daughter of the inner court." Besides, you are still Princess Taiping's concubine. There is another matter, without informing her in advance, you privately ran to Lantian County to take away Yaochi Yulin, which is Wu Youning's property - Xue Gongzi, don't you know that Wu Youning is the biggest official and the closest to the queen of heaven among all the martial arts sons and nephews today? ”

"I know." Xue Shao took a deep breath, "But Wu Youning deceives people too much, I won't cry and run to the queen of heaven to complain, right?" ”

"Xue Gongzi, please forgive me for being blunt, this is your mistake." Wei Yuanzhong said, "As the saying goes, beating a dog is still a bully, not to mention that Wu Youning is the henchman and nephew of the queen of heaven? It is true that you are also a talent valued by the queen of heaven and the concubine of Princess Taiping, but the contradiction between you and Wu Youning seems to the queen of heaven to be in the same room, which is very annoying to the queen. Let me give you an analogy, if one day you see Yuenu and Linlang fighting at home, and no matter which of them is right or wrong, can you be happy in your heart, Xue Gongzi? ”

Xue Shao frowned and nodded, "I understand." I'll pay more attention in the future. ”

"After all, the queen of heaven is a person with a big heart, and these two things are just over it." Wei Yuanzhong said, "But what happened in the court today...... I was really surprised! ”

"Why are you surprised?" Xue Shao asked.

Wei Yuanzhong sighed and said, "I am also a person in the bureau, and I know why the Queen of Heaven asked you to leave the army temporarily after the end of the Northern Expedition, and there was no major adjustment to your official position. Xue Gongzi, don't you know that it is the queen of heaven who wants you to get out of the turmoil, and she is protecting you? ”

"I know." Xue Shao nodded, "This matter, the second saint has already said it in front of me." ”

"In that case, why did Xue Gongzi change his court to ask His Majesty the Emperor for his support, and was so eager to return to the army?" Wei Yuanzhong shook his head and sighed, "If you wait for a few days with peace of mind, the queen of heaven will naturally make arrangements." Today at the court meeting, you also saw that the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan were taught a hard lesson by His Majesty the Emperor, and their faces were extremely passive. It's all because of you! ”

"Brother Wei, you mean, it's very likely that I have offended the queen of heaven, right?" Xue Shao said.

Wei Yuanzhong's expression was very grim, "Isn't it?" The queen of heaven cares so much about you, but you go behind her back to find another job. It's hard for anyone to accept this! ”

"Brother Wei, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly.

Wei Yuanzhong was slightly surprised, "Could it be that there is another hidden secret?" Or, Xue Gongzi has a last resort? ”

At this moment, Xue Shao thought to himself, since Wei Yuanzhong is the henchman of the Queen of Heaven, why don't I say some words euphemistically and lend him to the Queen of Heaven?

"Actually, I don't know that the Queen of Heaven is so kind to me, and her kindness is like a mountain? All along, I have only looked at her old man's horse, and I will never be distracted. Xue Shao said, "But I'm not the only one by the side of the queen of heaven!" Not to mention anything else, Wu Chenghei, the Duke of Zhou, has long wanted to be the concubine of Princess Taiping, so I turned against him, and by the way, I fell out with some other sons and nephews of the martial arts. There is also Pei Yan, who is the right-hand man of the queen of heaven and the assistant of the dynasty, but because of different political views, I am not compatible with him. Let's put ourselves in the position of the diva, there are so many people under her, can she belittle everyone else in order to lead me alone? …… In order not to embarrass her old man, I had to move in and ask the emperor for help. Having said that, I haven't betrayed the queen of heaven until now! ”

"That's right, that's right." Wei Yuanzhong said, "But there is a dispute between the two saints, this is something that all the ministers and ministers know well, but no one will break the matter." Today, because of you, His Majesty the Emperor suppressed the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan in front of the courtiers. It is inevitable that the queen will not think that you are betraying the master, so as to anger, alienation, and even punishment of you! ”

"If the queen really wants to do this, I will admit it." Xue Shao said, "Actually, my most sincere thought is that Pei Yan blindly wants to suppress my Xue clan, and I don't want to be at the mercy of it." But I couldn't go to the Queen of Heaven for help in this matter, so I had to find His Majesty the Emperor. I never thought of turning my back on the queen of heaven, in fact, the queen has always been more supportive of my follower. From now on, if I can make some achievements in the army, won't it be used by the queen of heaven in the future? ”

Hearing this, Wei Yuanzhong's eyes suddenly lit up!

Xue Shao's heart thought very clearly, once politics is involved, it is useless to talk about family affection and trust with someone like Wu Zetian, and a mature and experienced politician like her will not take a momentary petty grievance too seriously - only by talking about interests with her can it be the most effective!

Therefore, the biggest highlight of Xue Shao's last paragraph just now is not to skillfully point the finger at Pei Yan, but to show his position and value - even if he mixes well in the army in the future, he will still be a diva, and he can play a greater role for the diva!

Isn't this what Wu Zetian wants most?

"If Xue Gongzi really thinks so, he is willing to explain to the queen of heaven instead of Xue Gongzi, so as not to misunderstand the queen of heaven." Wei Yuanzhong said, "You and I are ministers, of course, loyal to the king." But the queen of heaven treats me like a mountain, no matter how you say it, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, and forget your righteousness! ”

"What Brother Wei said is that Xue would rather die than be such a villain!" Xue Shao said seriously, "Actually, I am still shallow in entering the ranks, in my opinion, the two saints are one, loyalty to the Queen of Heaven is loyalty to His Majesty, and loyalty to His Majesty is loyalty to the Queen of Heaven." Especially from a private standpoint, one of the two saints is my father-in-law and the other is my mother-in-law, no matter how confused and stupid I am, I won't favor one over the other, otherwise Princess Taiping will not agree! ”

"That's right." Wei Yuanzhong's expression was finally relieved, and he said, "It seems that I, a secret agent, finally know how to talk back to the queen of heaven." Xue Gongzi, I am an outsider after all. What I say, the queen of heaven may not believe it all. How to dispel the suspicions in her old man's heart, in the final analysis, Xue Gongzi still has to take action himself. The queen of heaven is not a person who can be coaxed with just a few words! ”

"Brother Wei's words are true." Xue Shao nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”.
