The turmoil of the rebellion case drew a sentence with Zhou Xing's head on the ground. This page can be regarded as temporarily revealed.

When Zhou Xing first reported the case, there were nearly 10,000 families and nearly 10,000 people from the Li Tang clan, the ministers of the current dynasty and their relatives involved in the case. Therefore, many people expected that this would be a bloody storm that would not lose to Li Zhen's rebellion. But because of Xue Shao's intervention and intervention, this turmoil eventually evolved into the defeat of Zhou Xing, the prime minister Wei Fangzhen and the general Fan Yunxian were pardoned without guilt, and the other court ministers involved in the case were only demoted.

Xue Shao failed to come forward in advance to prevent the destruction of the Li Tang clan, which may be a pity in the eyes of many people. But anyone with a little bit of brains will understand that it is impossible to change the dynasty without killing people. What is commendable is that since the first day when the empress used the cool officials, no one has been able to save people from the hands of the cool officials. Xue Shaofei not only saved more than a dozen ministers and thousands of their families and relatives, but also killed Zhou Xing.

It's nothing short of a miracle!

Therefore, many ministers and ordinary people believe that this is a milestone victory for people of insight in the struggle against the cool officials. Xue Shao's image in their minds once again had a new position - the pioneer banner of rebellion against the cool officials, and the god of protection of the unjust ministers.

At the same time, another interesting anecdote began to circulate among the government and the public, that is, the king of Wei, Wu Chenghe, loved to eat dog meat.

As we all know, Wu Zetian believes in Buddhism, and there is a dogma in Buddhism, saying that geese have the friendship of husband and wife, dogs have the friendship of the master, and turtles have the loyalty of kings and ministers, so they can't bear to eat. This is also more in line with the values of the people of Da Zhou. This rumor said that Wu Chengsi likes to eat dog meat, which is not big or small, which is an insult.

Of course, Wu Chengji was angry, but whenever he heard someone say this, he would be anxious. But there was an unreasonable governor who heard this rumor and slaughtered his own dog and took the dog meat and some gold, silver and jewelry to Wu Chenghe. As a result, of course, he was blasted out by Wu Chengsi. Not only did he not succeed, but within a few days, he was found guilty and cut off his official position.

This incident quickly spread among the ministers and became a laughing stock for a while. Later, even Wu Zetian heard about it, so he specially brought Wu Chengsi to ask him. It was not a particularly serious question, it was just an ordinary question, so Shangguan Wan'er and Kudi and others were also present at that time.

Later, Shangguan Wan'er told Xue Shao that Wu Chengsi was so ashamed and annoyed that he was about to cry, claiming that Xue Shao must have made a rumor behind his back that I love dog meat. Wu Zetian didn't understand, why did Xue Shao make this kind of rumor for no reason, this is a trick only played by children?

Wu Chengsi has nothing to say, could it be that he can still admit in front of Wu Zetian that Zhou Xing is not only the empress's dog but also his dog? It's a big taboo to form a private party!

Wu Zetian probably knew it a long time ago, and he just smiled and didn't ask again. So the matter was closed.

But the rumor that "Wu Chengsi loves dog meat" spread like an allusion. Some people will even call him "Dog Meat Prime Minister" behind his back.

Whenever he heard someone mention this, Xue Shao laughed the most. Because this kid played a trick, he really did it. I didn't expect it to be so fun and the effect is so unique!

After Zhou Xing's case, probably Wu Zetian also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tense relationship between the monarch and the minister in the court. So for a while, the cool officials were greatly reined in, and no more prisons were raised.

The white terror that hung over the people's hearts dissipated greatly, and the political atmosphere in the court became much more harmonious. There were no major incidents in a short period of time, and life went on like this.

Winter is coming imperceptibly, the north wind is unusually cold, the river is frozen in many places, and it is not so pleasant to go fishing by boat. Xue Shao decisively returned to Princess Taiping's mansion, chiseled the ice on his pond, and fished in winter.

In the evening of this day, Xue Shao was fishing in the small building in the middle of the lake, and Princess Taiping walked lightly and threw a stone at the ice cave from afar, which splashed on Xue Shao's face.

"What are you doing, the fish are scared away!" Xue Shao wiped the ice water from his face and complained.

"Fishing, fishing, you know fishing!" Princess Taiping walked over in a luxurious mink fur and said hatefully, "Do you know that some people are scolding you behind your back?" ”

Xue Shao laughed, "What's the big deal, it's better than the dog meat prime minister, right?" ”

"You're a fishing horse, isn't that the palace a fishing princess?" Princess Taiping said angrily, "This is a scolding together with the palace!" Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll raid his house, cut off his head, and raze his people!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "I advise you not to have this thought." Most of this was done by Wu Chenghe. Can you raid his house and cut off his head and raze his people? ”

"I also know it's probably him." Princess Taiping came closer, and said hatefully, "Just now I went into the palace to ask my mother for peace, and my mother talked and laughed about fishing and attaching horses." She couldn't stop laughing, but I was shaking with anger. ”

"What's so angry about that?" Xue Shao grabbed her waist and said with a smile, "There is an old saying, called the shadow of a person's famous tree. Who I am Xue Shao, from His Majesty the Emperor to ordinary people, I know in my heart. Can a mere indecent nickname change my image in their minds? ”

"I can't." Princess Taiping pursed her lips, "But I just can't stand someone insulting you." ”

"Don't think so." Xue Shao still persuaded, "There is a way to attract the wind, and any kind of evaluation that a person is famous will come from." It's not that we can't be loved by everyone, so we don't have to care about the gossip made by those little people. If you get angry because of this, you will fall for the other party's tricks. ”

After listening to these persuasions, Princess Taiping gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's Wu Chenghei, who is about to be driven crazy by the nickname of the dog meat prime minister." ”

"Haha!" Xue Shao laughed, "That's that sentence, the shadow of a person's famous tree." He himself has no talent and no virtue, but he is in a high position, of course, he will be afraid that others will judge him arbitrarily. ”

"Mother was amused and angry when she mentioned the dog meat prime minister and the fisherman." Princess Taiping smiled bitterly, "She said, the two of you are not too young, one prime minister and one Shangshu, you actually scold each other like children, it's really unseemly!" ”

"It's none of my business!" Xue Shao laughed, "At most, I just told others that Wu Chengsi loves dog meat." Isn't that a curse? ”

Princess Taiping couldn't help but giggle for a while, and said, "Mother brought up that incident again today. ”

Xue Shao stopped smiling and frowned, "Xuanyunzi's matter? ”

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Now that the conflict between you and Wu Chengji is gradually intensifying, her old man is eager for you to marry Xuan Yunzi as soon as possible, so as to ease the conflict between you." But Xuanyunzi has not heard from him so far, how can he be good? ”

"I can't help it." Xue Shao shook his head.

"Or, why don't you send Guo An and these people out to find them?" Princess Taiping said.

"The world is so big, where to find it without any clues?" Xue Shao shook his head, "Besides, Guo An and they can't pull away now." The battle with the Turks was out of action for the time being, but another war had begun. Guo An and the others are my eyes and ears, how can they leave without permission? ”

"This is not good, that is not good...... Princess Taiping sighed lightly, "or you will retreat to the second best thing and marry a woman from a martial arts family, right?" ”

"Nope." Xue Shao refused categorically, "Originally, I didn't agree to this marriage, but I was forced to accept it after you and your mother repeatedly persuaded me." Now the news of my marriage to Xuan Yunzi has spread to the world, but he wants me to repent of marrying another woman. Such a treacherous and capricious thing, Xue Shao can't do it! ”

Princess Taiping frowned, "Then what if Xuanyunzi never comes back?" ”

"Wait." Xue Shao said, "She won't come back for a day, and I will continue to wait for a day." I would never marry another samurai woman. This is my bottom line, it's not negotiable. ”

"......" Princess Taiping bit her lip and was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Are you really in love with her?" ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Princess Taiping, "Why do you suddenly ask that?" ”

I just asked. It's normal to like your future wife. This princess has always been magnanimous again, so she won't taste it. Princess Taiping said, "You just say, yes or no?" ”

Xue Shao knew that Princess Taiping was duplicitous, if she really didn't care, she wouldn't ask like this.

"Speak!" Princess Taiping was obviously pressing.

Xue Shao knew that this was a dangerous signal, and no matter how he answered, it might be the wrong answer. So he said, "To be honest, I don't know. ”

Princess Taiping was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "This can't be unknown yet?" ”

"I don't know."

"That's what I like."

Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, "Obviously, this is a decision you made for me." ”

"Man, that's the virtue." Princess Taiping turned around and walked away, "I like the new and hate the old!" ”

"Hey!" Xue Shao hurriedly grabbed her with both hands, and the fishing rod fell into the water, "What if you say it's good?" Be reasonable! ”

"Do you believe a woman's words? Do you still want to reason with women? Princess Taiping squinted at Xue Shao with a disgusted expression, "I thought you just hadn't been weaned, but I didn't think you were really a child!" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Old husband and wife, you don't have to bury people like this, right?" ”

"Who is with your old husband and wife, this palace is only sixteen years old!" Princess Taiping shook off Xue Shao's arm and strode forward, like a trot.

Xue Shao smiled and hurriedly chased after him, thinking that he had something to do all night today. If you don't coax this little aunt and grandmother to be happy, I'm afraid that I won't want to fish with peace of mind in the future!
