Luoyang Taichu Palace, Wencheng Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Zetian looked at the file with deep eyes, his expression solemn. Wu Sansi, Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi, and the newly popular prime minister Zong Chuke, who stood under her, all spoke with bated breath.

Zong Chuke was a jinshi in the Gaozong period, and recently he has risen rapidly by taking advantage of the momentum of martial arts. Especially during the period when Cen Changqian was ill and Lou Shide was transferred out of Jingshu, Zong Chuke took advantage of the situation to enter the gate of the political hall and became one of the prime ministers, and was soon reused by Wu Zetian. Nowadays, except for the highly respected Di Renjie, there is almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can compare with him.

Especially this time, Zong Chuke personally planned and successfully implemented the action of "arresting the rebel minister Guo Dafeng and strangling the army in advance to rebel", which made him more respected and trusted by Wu Zetian. From that day on, Zong Chuke almost lived directly in the palace, and Wu Zetian had to ask him for advice from time to time, mainly to discuss the serious case of "army rebellion".

Wu Zetian finished reading this paper file, put it down, and said: "The Right Guard Army has been guarding the Beijing Division for many years, and the Second General of the Party Guo is a well-known veteran of the three armies. You must be cautious and prudent in handling your affairs, and you must not abuse lynching, nor do you plant false accusations, nor do you bend to make a move. I want to know the whole truth of all the facts. ”

"Commandment." Zong Chuke stepped forward to take the order, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is another accomplice, although his official position is not as prominent as that of the second general of the party, but his status is very special, which makes the ministers feel quite tricky. As for how this person will be disposed of and how to be tried, please ask Your Majesty to personally command? ”

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, "You mean, Guo An?" ”

"Yes, it's Guo An." Zong Chuke said, "Although he is only a mere five-rank general, he must know more secrets than all the generals of the right guard combined. But ......"

Zong Chuke didn't say any more. But everyone present knew what he wanted to say.

Guo An has been with Xue Shao for so many years, and he is almost inseparable. If Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen are Xue Shao's right-hand men, then Guo An is Xue Shao's eyes. He must have seen and knew more about Xue Shao than anyone else. Of course, it will be particularly troublesome for such a person to "deal with".

Think about it, who would let others poke themselves in the eye?

Zong Chuke is not stupid, he knows that although he is now the number one big man in the court, he does not have the qualifications and courage to personally confront Xue Shao. Therefore, unless there is a clear statement issued by the empress herself, she will definitely not touch this big bad head.

For the little abacus in the hearts of the courtiers, Wu Zetian, who has done revolutionary work all his life, is naturally like a mirror in his heart. But she couldn't blame Zong Chuke's Mingzhe for protecting herself, because she knew better than anyone else that no one was qualified to confront Xue Shao head-on. In the face of such a major right and wrong, if even he, the "commander" who is the emperor, cannot be tough, then this battle has already been lost before it has been fought.

After pondering for a while, Wu Zetian spoke, "Since you are a co-defendant, you must be tried." ”

"The trial must be tried", hearing this sentence, Wu Sansi, Zhang Yizhi and others all danced with their eyebrows.

Previously, all the tracking, surveillance, arrest and imprisonment of Guo Dafeng and others were only autonomous acts of "relevant departments". Now with Wu Zetian's words, it basically means that the emperor has made it clear that he can "move" Xue Shao.

"But." Wu Zetian's words changed, "Don't cause death." ”

Isn't it okay if you don't get killed?!

Zong Chuke was almost overjoyed, "Minister, the order!" ”

At this moment, the thousand horsemen guarding the outside of the palace made Wu You return to the palace to report, saying that Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping asked to see her.

Wu Zetian's eyebrows sank slightly, "I said that I was unwell and fell asleep, and I didn't see it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has already persuaded Her Royal Highness the Princess. However, she refused to leave and insisted on seeing her. Wu Yougui said pitifully, the implication is that the princess is too strong, and the minister can't do anything about her!

"Tell her to go!" Wu Zetian raised his voice and almost shouted, "Let her stay at home, don't go anywhere, and don't enter the palace at will." ”

"Yes!" Wu You returned to the promise and trotted out.

Wu Sansi and the others raised their eyebrows again, their expressions were refreshing.

A moment later, outside the palace.

Princess Taiping turned around and walked down the dragon tail road with a blank face.

As expected, the mother still refused to see her.

Princess Taiping's heart was almost free of emotional fluctuations, only the numbness of extreme disappointment.

boarded the car, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was in the car, had already guessed the result when she saw Princess Taiping's expression.

"Your Highness, forget it." Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "In this extraordinary period, it is reasonable that Your Majesty refuses to see you......

"She'll regret it." Princess Taiping said lightly, with almost no expression on her face.

But it was this faint sentence that almost frightened Shangguan Wan'er, "Your Highness, you ......"

"There is no choice, and it is a choice." Princess Taiping was still expressionless, and her words were indifferent, "She didn't want me first." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's expression was stunned.

Princess Taiping turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, it's the first time I've asked you like this in so many years—"

"Your Highness, what do you want to ask?" Shangguan Wan'er was a little uneasy.

"Are you my mother's man, or our man?" Princess Taiping asked.

Shangguan Wan'er's expression was stunned for a moment, and she said: "The previous Shangguan Wan'er could be His Majesty's people, His Royal Highness's people, Xue Gong's people, or even the former prince's people. ”

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, Shangguan Wan'er rarely told such a big truth. She said again: "And now? ”

"Shangguan Wan'er, it's just Shangguan Wan'er. She is no longer anyone's person, she is already qualified to make her own choices. Shangguan Wan'er said with a straight face, "Your Highness, I have a home." ”

Princess Taiping had already heard Shangguan Wan'er's reply, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since it is a choice, there will definitely be gains and losses, and there will be pain. Now we have no other way to go...... Wan'er, help me! ”

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Okay!" ”

……

Xue Shao rushed back to the Fuyun Temple and entered the Zhongshou City, and found that the atmosphere was particularly dignified. Dugu Zhizhi had already been ordered to rush from Xishou City, but an unexpected person also appeared here, Duan Feng.

All the solemnity and tension were brought by Duan Feng.

- Dang Guo was arrested, Guo An was imprisoned, and the capital changed drastically!

Although Duan Feng is a rough man, he has been with Xue Shao for so long, and he is already quite conscious. He didn't rush to say such "explosive" news, so the news was blocked well. So far, only Xue Chuyu, Niu Ben, Dugu Zhizhi, and Sha Zha Zhongyi have learned the news.

After listening to Duan Feng explain everything about the matter in detail, Xue Shao laughed, "It's good, even the old nest is served." ”

His tone was light-hearted, like a joke. But Xue Chuyu and the others really couldn't laugh.

This can be said to be the biggest trouble that Xue Shaozhi has encountered since he came to Rong, and it is far more troublesome than the bloody battle against Nuo Zhenshui and the Garqinling soldiers. Because the enemy Xue Shao faced this time was his own people.

"They've been planning for a long time, and they've finally picked a great time to attack me." Xue Shao's tone was still very calm, and he said, "I went out to do something big, and they put a cold knife on my back. Brothers, you say, what should I do? ”

"Kill back, one stick at a time, and smash it all!" Bull Run was the first to roar.

"Stupid." Duan Feng scolded him, "The teacher is unknown, what are you doing to smash people?" That's a rebellion! ”

"Fart!" Niu Ben shouted, "Xue Shuai beats people, do you need a reason?" ”

"Shut up, idiot." Xue Shao snorted, and turned his head to look at Dugu Zhizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi, "The two of you were appointed by the imperial court to sit in the military town of the surrendered city respectively, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you have nothing to do with this turmoil. Now you can go away and go back to your ministry, and be unaware of it. Rest assured, I don't blame. ”

"What did Xue Shuai say?" Dugu Zhizhi said loudly, "Although we have long since left the right guard, our roots have always been connected with Xue Shuai. Hugh said that there are no eggs under the nest, Xue Shuai repays my grievances with virtue and recreates the two brothers, at this moment Xue Shuai is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? If they turn their backs on Xue Shuai again, what kind of face will my two brothers have in the world from now on?! ”

"That's right!" Sha Zha Zhongyi also said loudly, "We once betrayed Xue Shuai, and we have always been ashamed ever since. Now that there is finally an opportunity for us to wash away our shame and make up for our guilt, how can we let it go? - If Xue Shuai really can't believe my two brothers, he can call a knife and axe hand to chop up the two of us now. Want to get rid of us? That's impossible! ”

Xue Shao smiled, stood up and walked in front of the two of them, and said, "It's not that Xue can't trust you. It's really none of your business, and I don't want too many people to be involved. You have a heavy duty to guard the country, and you should not abandon your public office because of a little personal grudge. ”

"Xue Shuai doesn't need to persuade anymore." Duguzhi's tone was quite resolute, and it could even be said that he was stubborn, he said, "My brothers and sisters are both rough people, they don't read much, and they don't understand the government, so they often do stupid things. But after Xue Shuai's 200 horsemen regained Helong that year, my two brothers only recognized one reason from then on - it was right to be with Xue Shuai. Now that the big thing is coming, we can't tell right from wrong and can't tell the bad luck, or we can only admit this dead reason, follow Xue Shuai, and never change it! ”

Xue Shao was silent for a moment and chuckled, "What if Xue Shao rebelled and became a thief who rebelled against the imperial court?" ”

"What anti-thief?" Sha Zha Zhongyi's eyes widened, and his eyes were round, "This good world can sit down, why can't Xue Shuai sit down?" ――On the contrary, it's the opposite, I'll follow Xue Shuai to be a founding hero! ”

"Nonsense." Xue Shao scolded speechlessly, "I see that all of you have water in your brains, and Guo Dafeng is like you who is full of feces and ends up like this." ”

"Xue Shuai, that can't be regarded as squirting, it really doesn't count." Dugu Zhizhi said it sincerely, almost word by word, "This should really be regarded as the words in the hearts of our brothers!" ”

Chen Qiao's mutiny, the yellow robe? -- Xue Shao's heart suddenly thought of such a thing.

Niu Ben laughed stupidly on the side, "That's it, that's it!" Xue Shuai became the emperor, and we are all the founding heroes. ”

"Don't say this kind of again, and if you want to say it, you will keep it in your heart for a lifetime." Xue Shao's reaction was very indifferent, "Otherwise, I'll cut off your heads!" ”
