Chapter 1039: The country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change
The wedding of Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er was a five-day feast. In the next few days, Wu Chengsi came every day, and when he came, he dragged his mouth and called Wu Sansi, a group of brothers, and a mighty group of people gave Xue Shao a full cheer.
Xue Shao didn't care at all, it was nothing more than adding a few more pairs of chopsticks and spending a few more urns of wine. But how Princess Taiping looked at Wu Chenghe's unpleasant eyes, it felt like he had snatched his precious son.
Xue Shao felt very funny, it stands to reason that Wu Chengsi and I have a deep contradiction, and Princess Taiping, who is a cousin, should be reconciled in the middle. Now it's good, it's the other way around.
In fact, after Princess Taiping calmed down, she immediately figured out Xue Shao's intention to agree to the marriage, in short, a plan to delay the army. You can't always tear your face with the empress on the spot because of something a few years later, right? With such an analysis, Xue Shao's approach is absolutely correct.
But no matter how rational and smart Princess Taiping is, she is also a sensual woman after all, and a mother who can't rub half a grain of sand in her eyes. Thinking of Xue Linyu and Wu Chenghe's daughter getting married, Princess Taiping had a shadow in her heart. Now the thing she is looking forward to the most is - Wu Chenghe, you should die quickly!
On the last day of the wedding, there was also a small episode. Xue Shao brought Shangguan Wan'er to thank the guests. Shangguan Wan'er was dressed up very beautifully, and the audience was amazed by her radiance, and all the guests praised the beauty of the bride. At this time, Wu Sansi was about to drink too much, and he said without paying attention, "Since today, I should have kissed Fangze a long time ago."
Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er didn't hear this, but they were heard by Wu Chenghei nearby. He shouted "get out" with a heavy face on the spot.
Then Wu Sansi's face changed suddenly, and he really got out.
Although he made an excuse to leave the table in a hurry, it did not attract too many people's attention. But Xue Shao's scouts and subordinates kept a firm eye on the entire wedding banquet hall, and this detail did not escape their eyes.
After getting the report, Xue Shao was just funny, and said to Princess Taiping, you see that Wu Chengsi really treats us as in-laws, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to scold his good brother Wu Sansi angrily.
Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said hatefully, anyway, I just want him to die early, and I don't mind if I take one more Wu Sansi!
Xue Shao kept snorting, saying that I have long stopped being Xue Rentu, and now you want to inherit your husband's business?
"I don't care!" Princess Taiping's heart became entangled again, and she pulled Xue Shao's sleeve and didn't let go, "You should have thought of a way to withdraw this marriage earlier!" ”
"Rest assured, rest assured." Xue Shao persuaded her with a smile and said, "In this world, it is not a matter for a man to divorce his wife at all, and we can cancel the marriage contract at any time." On the other hand, if the woman wants to destroy the marriage, it will be shocking, and she will even be accused of being punished by the government. The initiative is completely in our hands, what are you panicking about? ”
"Wu Chenghei is notorious, I can't afford this reputation, and Lin Yu can't bear it at a young age!" Princess Taiping said, "You are a father, why are you not worried at all?" ”
"What's the concern?" Xue Shao began to talk serious nonsense, "His father mixed in Pingkangfang every day, and there were countless prostitutes and girls in the family, and the women of the five surnames Qiwang, Pei Liuming, and the Weidu family in the capital didn't know how much he provoked. Isn't it the same world hero who has left a name in history today? - The eldest husband is not informal, and he has a repentant marriage or something, which is not a problem! ”
"You, you, you! …… You old bastard! Princess Taiping was almost about to cry angrily, "It's really crooked on the top and crooked on the bottom!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Shao glared, "The hair of the lower beam has not grown, are you looking forward to him crooked?" ”
"You...... I'm fighting with you! Princess Taiping pounced angrily and twisted with Xue Shao.
Shangguan Wan'er was about to burst out laughing on the side.
"Wan'er, don't patronize and watch jokes, come and help me fix him together!" Princess Taiping pressed Xue Shao under her very domineering and shouted loudly.
"Don't dream, Wan'er is a lady...... Huh! Wan'er, you really don't praise it!! ”
Because of this absurd marriage contract, Xue Shao was repaired by Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er all night.
After the wedding, the hustle and bustle dissipated. Life gradually returned to peace.
Shangguan Wan'er has a place to live in Princess Taiping's mansion, but she lives more often in Shangguan Mansion to accompany her mother. The two houses are not too far apart, and it is easy to move around each other. Princess Taiping is now more and more matronic, even when Xue Shao is not at home, she will often send someone to take Shangguan Wan'er's mother and daughter to Princess Taiping's mansion in a carriage to get together. Or a feast or a few days, in short, the relationship is very harmonious.
In this regard, Xue Shao secretly admired. If you ask yourself, he himself can't be so broad-minded and take care of the overall situation. Looking around, I have never seen how the housewife of any family will be polite and courteous to the concubine. Especially Princess Taiping is still the extremely noble princess of the two dynasties, which is even more difficult.
Everyone has a saying in their hearts that Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er, who are newly married Yan'er, are certainly like glue, but the relationship with Princess Taiping seems to have taken a step further because of this marriage. Looking back, Xue Shao felt that Princess Taiping was really a little "great wisdom". In fact, she also has jealousy and selfishness in her heart, even more serious than ordinary women, otherwise there would not have been an incident of Zhang Miao's death in the market back then. But after so many years, Princess Taiping is really successful in "cultivating". And her success is not like the traditional classical woman, who reluctantly compromises and desperately indulges her husband's family, she makes conditional concessions. The conditions she offered were also very reasonable, first of all, her own status as a wife would not be threatened, no, Shangguan Wan'er had just married and formed an iron-like "ally" with her; Secondly, the woman who married must be a person who is very beneficial to Xue Shao and this big family, not any cat or dog, she will swallow her anger and accept it.
From this point of view, Xue Shao feels that her personality is really becoming more and more like Wu Zetian - focusing on interests and principles, broad-minded, long-term vision, and a strong sense of the overall situation.
Sometimes Xue Shao was thinking, according to the current situation of Princess Taiping, if it weren't for the supervision and supervision of herself, the princess Taiping who dominated the political arena in history would almost be ready to come out. Although she has worked hard for more than ten years to change her fate, she may have succeeded in this regard. But the nature of the country is easy to change, and Princess Taiping's character has really not been changed!
In contrast, there is a big gap between Shangguan Wan'er and the appearance in history. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Xue Shao thought that Shangguan Wan'er in history had to change her personality and style in order to adapt to the political situation at that time. With her identity, except for the eight-sided exquisite flattery of all forces, there is no other way to survive Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, Wu Sansi, Li Xian and Empress Wei. Even including her final death at the hands of Li Longji, it was because she was a victim of Li Longji and Princess Taiping's struggle for power.
From any point of view, Shangguan Wan'er in history is a poor person who was distorted, mutilated and finally sacrificed by power. If she had a choice, she would not be willing to be thrown into the court as a slave as soon as she was born, or not to become a pawn in the power field. It is no small miracle that she can rely on her talent to complete the transformation from a slave to a historical lady who has been famous for thousands of years. However, she died in a desolate ending and left a lot of infamy, which is a great sorrow.
Whenever Xue Shao fell asleep with Shangguan Wan'er in his arms, he couldn't help but think of this.
Then, he would hug Shangguan Wan'er tighter. I'm afraid that when I wake up, there is a dream of Nanke in front of me.
A few days later, the weather turned cooler several times, and the smell of cold winter was quite distinct.
Late one night, the divine capital of Luoyang enforced a curfew as always. However, the guards guarding the city gate and the palace, including the guards who patrolled the streets of the city tonight, were secretly replaced by all the soldiers of the Imperial Guards.
When Xue Shao led more than 100 of his troops out of the Dingding Gate, Zhao Yijie, the deputy envoy of the thousand horses, bowed to the door with his fists.
"Be vigilant and be vigilant, keep your eyes and mouth." Xue Shao said to him.
"Yes." Zhao Yijie agreed.
Xue Shao didn't say anything more and rode away. Behind him is a hundred horses, fully armed with armor and swords, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Zhao Yijie felt that Xue Shao at this time was even more dignified than when he was fighting in the field. This secret mission tonight must be nothing short of idle. But what exactly is the task, Zhao Yijie didn't dare to ask. He only knew that almost all the generals of the Imperial Forest Army had personally gone out today, Zhou Jitong inspected the city, Li Duozuo sat in the Xuanwu Gate of the Taichu Palace, and Gong Ren mentioned the remaining gates of the Imperial City.
The order was issued directly from the palace, and the generals knew nothing but to carry out the order. In addition to these generals who carried out the mission, only Xue Shao was involved, and even the prime minister of the dynasty did not know about it. Xue Shao also solemnly admonished and admonished several generals of the Royal Forest Army who participated in the mission: The leaker is killed!
The order issued by the palace did not mention these four words, and was added by Xue Shao. But for Zhao Yijie and Li Duozuo and others, the power of these four words is no less than the secret order in the palace. So they were all in good spirits tonight, and it felt like they were about to have a big battle at the front.
Xue Shao led a hundred horsemen to run for more than ten miles and stopped at the edge of an inconspicuous grove.
The scouts around him lit a few torches and used them to send out the Lantian secret code in the air. Soon after, the fire in the woods flashed out and responded, and it also responded with the Lantian secret code.
Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted, and led half of the people into the woods, while the rest of the people guarded the horses.
Guo An came out of the woods, hugged his fists and bowed, without saying a word, his expression was firm and resolute.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xue Shao nodded, "What about King Luling?" ”
Guo An was about to answer, when a man's eager and enthusiastic voice came from the forest, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" I am here! Over here! ”
Xue Shao suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly, it is really easy to change the nature of the country and the mountains is difficult to change, after so many years of exile, Li Xian still has this tone!
