At night, Princess Taiping choked Xue Shao enough. Except for the few days when she just returned home, Princess Taiping was rarely so excited, and she could even be said to be excessive.

Xue Shao asked her why, and she smiled strangely, "As soon as I see Shangguan Wan'er, I can't help but imagine the scene of you and her having a good time." It makes me feel so excited, I want to bang! ”

"......" Xue Shao was directly speechless, how could she be more evil than me?

"By the way, I'll tell you something." Princess Taiping knelt on Xue Shao's chest and said, "For this year's Shangyuan Festival, I have arranged the itinerary for three nights in advance. On the first night, we will definitely go to Zetianmen to enjoy the lanterns with my mother, and promulgate the new policy to enjoy the people. ”

"What's next?" Xue Shao asked. Xue Shao rarely worries about this kind of thing, and she has always arranged it.

Princess Taiping said: "On the second night, of course, we spent it with the eldest brother and the third brother. As for the third night, we'll have to go our separate ways. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Princess Taiping replied: "I have already made an appointment with Mrs. Zheng and Shangguan Wan'er and some ministers' wives and daughters to play together then." I will bring Yang Siqiao and Lin Linlang 20 swords to accompany the guards, so you don't have to worry about safety. You go play your own. ”

Xue Shao blinked, "Who have you made an appointment?" ”

Princess Taiping said that there were Cen Changqian's wife and daughter, Wei Fangzhen's wife and woman, and Wei Yuanzhong's wife, and so on, there were about twenty people.

"You can't ask Cen Changqian and Wei Fangqian's wife and daughter." Xue Shao straightened his face and said, "Don't you see that I have never had any dealings with old friends like Cen Changqian, Wei Yuanzhong and Song Jing since I returned to the dynasty?" ”

Princess Taiping said: "I'm just making friends with their wives and daughters, what's the matter? ”

"To others, it's more than just playing." Xue Shao said, "Look at these women you picked, they are all from Li Tang's old ministers' family. Now that the dispute between the crown prince has surfaced, Wu Chenghei is determined to win. Your mother hasn't made it clear yet, but she is vigorously cultivating the power of the martial family, which more or less means that she also has a little idea of wanting Wu Chengji to be the crown prince. But now many ministers are supporting your brother, hoping that the imperial heir Li Dan can enter the East Palace. And Cen Changqian and Wei Fangzhi are the representatives of the pro-Li faction above the court, so they are regarded by Wu Chengsi as a thorn in the flesh. Wei Fangzhen was framed and imprisoned before, but he was rescued because of my intervention. Now that you invite his wife and daughter to travel together, isn't it clear that you are going to win over the Wei family? Maybe you think you're okay with doing this, but in reality, what's the difference between it and stealing the bell? ”

"Xue Lang, are you a little too timid?" Princess Taiping retorted.

Xue Shao shook his head, "I'm afraid of hurting Cen Changqian and Wei Fangzhen. ”

"How is this possible?" Princess Taiping said, "Could it be that Duke Xue's wife, the dignified Princess Taiping, will harm them if she befriends a few women in private?" Am I like a plague? ”

"Don't be so extreme." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, stroked her back to show comfort, and said, "Although I rarely speak out above the court, I hold the military power in my hand and represent the military, and no one dares to ignore and underestimate me." As everyone knows, Wu Chengsi and I have been in opposition for a long time, and as long as I am still standing on the court for a day, Wu Chengsi will not want to enter the East Palace for a day, unless he intends to be the enemy of the entire military. Now, if I try to win over the prime minister again, it will form a big faction of military and political alliances. It's not just Wu Chenghei who will panic, but even your mother will be deeply disturbed. In other words, any king will be like sitting on pins and needles and having trouble sleeping and eating. Maybe she won't attack me directly, but it will be easy for her to get rid of the prime ministers I have wooed. You say, "Is that tantamount to harming them?" ”

"......" Princess Taiping was silent for a moment, perhaps realizing that what Xue Shao said was reasonable, but said: "But I have already made an appointment with them, the dignified Princess Taiping can't break her word and get fat, right?" It's a big deal, let's be careful to keep a low profile, and don't show off the market. ”

"Remember, it's not an example."

"Listen to you!" Princess Taiping lazily climbed onto Xue Shao, and said with a charming and seductive smile: "I'm so obedient, what's the reward?" ”

"The rewards of the year have been advanced by you!" Xue Shao pinched her face and said with a smile, "You are not old yet, why are you like a wolf?" ”

"What is a tiger wolf, they are obviously a golden phoenix!" Princess Taiping laughed a few times, stuck to Xue Shao's body like a beautiful snake, and slowly slipped down, her dexterous and warm little tongue was busy.

Xue Shao sizzled and couldn't help but say, "Sooner or later, I'm going to die at the hands of you little goblin!" ”

In the blink of an eye, it has reached the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Shangyuan Festival is the most important festival of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou, even more than the Spring Festival. For three consecutive nights, Luoyang, the capital of the gods, no longer had a curfew, allowing the people and scholars to leave their homes to play. At that time, a large number of lanterns and jugglers from all over the world will appear in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, decorating this city as a city that never sleeps.

Xue Shao has experienced several Shangyuan festivals, and once accompanied the former emperor Li Zhi with Xue Chuyu to spend the last Shangyuan Festival in his life. Now that the dynasty has changed, he will accompany Empress Wu Zetian with Princess Taiping to spend the first Shangyuan Festival after the new monarch ascends the throne.

Because of the special significance, the scale of the lanterns in this year's Shangyuan Festival far exceeds any previous year.

Wu Zetian ascended the gate tower of Zetian, promulgated a new policy to benefit the people, distributed auspicious festivals and benefits to the officials and people, and then enjoyed the lanterns with the people, and played until the middle of the night before returning to the palace. For the next two nights, as arranged by Princess Taiping, the three Xue brothers first traveled with their families, and then on the third night, Princess Taiping and her "sisters" boarded a boat to swim on the river to play. Xue Shao brought Moon Nu and Chen Xian'er with him, and still accompanied his brother and third brother to enjoy the lanterns in Luoyang.

If you spend the night peacefully, the New Year will be over. Xue Shao began to wonder in his heart, how did Princess Taiping plan to clean up Song Zhiwen?

The hearts of big men are not always full of great achievements of the country's society, and sometimes a small thing will be lingering. Song Zhiwen's question has always been like a thorn in Xue Shao's heart. Whenever he saw Shangguan Wan'er or thought of Shangguan Wan'er, this thorn would flood like a malignant disease, making him feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, without waiting for Xue Shao to urge, Princess Taiping made a move.

On this day, someone from the Luoyang County Ya, where Wei Yuanzhong was sitting, came to complain, saying that Song Zhiwen, a scholar from Chongwen Hall, had killed his classmate Liu Xiyi, and hoped that the Luoyang government could investigate the case.

The person who reported the case was also a well-known talented poet in Luoyang. This kind of person comes forward to sue the official, and the impact has always been not small.

Liu Xiyi was originally Song Zhiwen's nephew, but the two were of the same age, and they were both famous talented poets. Liu Xiyi was a scholar in his early years, but he had no intention of working on poetry, and once wrote a popular poem "Generations of Sorrowful Pulsatilla", in which "the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year" has become a good sentence for generations. Song Zhiwen looked at this poem and asked his nephew Liu Xiyi to ask for the "copyright". Liu Xiyi initially agreed, but later repented. This made Song Zhiwen angry and ashamed, so he asked the house slaves to crush Liu Xiyi to death with a sack full of soil.

This is actually an old thing, and there have been rumors among the people for a long time. But it is only today that it has been made public as a murder case.

Song Zhiwen's fame is not small, and now that he has befriended Wu Chenghei, the empress is also quite fond of his talent, so he can be regarded as a big man in Beijing. Such a special case with a huge impact, Wei Yuanzhong did not make a decision privately, but immediately reported it to the imperial court.

Murder is a vicious case, not to mention that it was a talented Jinshi who was killed. Moreover, killing his own nephew because of his greed for poetry has to add another layer of moral punishment. Therefore, as soon as this case was exposed, it instantly spread throughout Luoyang City. People talked a lot, and the city was full of wind and rain for a while.

Of course, Wu Chengsi wanted to protect Song Zhiwen, so he tried his best to prevent the judicial department from investigating the case. Wu Zetian also cherished Song Zhiwen's talent, and had a little intention of protecting Song Zhiwen, so he opened his eyes and closed his eyes and let Wu Chengsi operate it.

At this time, Princess Taiping came forward, and she said to Wu Zetian that Song Zhiwen had complained to people in private, saying that the empress had no eyes, and would rather use a vulgar person like Liu Huaiyi as a servant than look down on a talented man like him.

Wu Zetian asked Princess Taiping, was the source accurate?

Princess Taiping told Wu Zetian about Song Zhi's question in the imperial garden that day, asking Shangguan Wan'er to help him introduce him. Wu Zetian immediately summoned Shangguan Wan'er to confront her, and Shangguan Wan'er confessed, saying that Song Zhiwen had really said such things after drinking too much wine that day. Of course, none of them mentioned Wu Sansi's involvement, nor did they mention Song Zhiwen's indecent affairs.

In fact, Wu Zetian often takes Song Zhiwen with him, so why didn't he already know it in his heart? Now listening to what Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er said, Wu Zetian can no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and personally issued a decree to the Sixing Temple (Dali Temple) on the spot, with a clear instruction: Strictly investigate the murder case of Song Zhiwen!

As soon as the empress's decree came out, Wu Chenghei no longer dared to move. He abandoned Song Zhiwen very decisively, just like he abandoned Zhou Xing at the beginning.

The matter has come to this point, unless Song Zhiwen can soar beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements during the day, he will be dead.

Princess Taiping came back to ask Xue Shao for credit, and said with a smile: "Generalissimo Xue, this errand of your subordinates is quite beautiful, right?" ”

"It's not just beautiful, it's just stunning." Xue Shao picked up her face and kissed her.

Princess Taiping smiled beautifully: "Xue Lang, with your style, if you do this matter, it will definitely be a knife to take it down." But in doing so, it is inevitable that some small tails that are difficult to clean up will be left behind afterwards. Now I will use the formal legal means to kill him in the name of justice. What do you think of the results? ”

Xue Shao gave her a thumbs up, "One word, handsome!" ”.
