Princess Taiping has not had a princess temper like today for a long time, not only did she work desperately, but she also clamored to burn Pei Yan's mansion. Of course, Xue Shao vigorously blocked it, but Princess Taiping became more and more energetic, making the house noisy, and the servants and maids were all panicked.

Finally, Princess Taiping stopped making trouble when she was tired. She sat down to eat with Xue Shao, smiling and grinning as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Xue Shao couldn't laugh or cry. Princess Taiping's love changes so much and so quickly that it is really breathtaking. In fact, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't have his own obstruction, Princess Taiping would definitely not really burn the official office of Pei Yan's family. She just wanted to make a fuss in front of her husband, and wanted him to coax him well, but when she vented the depression in her heart, it was completely fine.

Husbands and wives are like this, it is always easy to show their worst feelings and worst habits in front of each other. Who is the other person, the closest person to him?

After venting, Princess Taiping returned to being the gentle and considerate virtuous helper, and discussed with Xue Shao calmly how to deal with it. Xue Shao's opinion is that if he encounters a border war, he will try his best to invite the war to lead the troops out. If not, just be a "mud tire bodhisattva" in the right feather Lin Wei. Anyway, it is the territory of Zhang Qianqiao and others, and it is reasonable that he can't grasp the power and manage things.

Although doing so will make Xue Shao a little incompetent, at the moment, only Taoguang is the best way.

Princess Taiping agreed with Xue Shao's opinion, and she also said that she would try her best to cooperate with Xue Shao to realize his strategy of keeping his light and raising obscurity. Xue Shao was amused when he heard it, Princess Taiping's "best cooperation" didn't know what would make the right Yu Lin Wei look like!

"Your business, for the time being, can only take one step at a time." Princess Taiping said, "What about Liu Sheng's affairs?" Even if I can swallow this breath, can you really bear to let him go to Wutai County to be a poor county magistrate? Even if Chen Xian'er doesn't have an idea, you always have to take care of your good brother Guo Yuanzhen's face, right? Liu Sheng is Guo Yuanzhen's father-in-law! ”

"Then it can only be for Liu Sheng to refuse the official, and then wait for another opportunity." Xue Shao said, "But in this way, it will be more difficult for him to return to the throne again." The official position of the imperial court is not a meal on anyone's table, but also a meal that allows people to pick fat and thin. ”

"In this way, I can only temporarily wronged Liu Sheng, and then go to the post to make a good plan?" Princess Taiping said.

"That's all there is to it." Xue Shao frowned and said, "I now have a little ability in the army, but my ability is not great, and it is limited to the two small territories of Qianqi and Jiangwu Academy. Above the court, Pei Yan and his friends are in full swing, and even Xue Yuanchao was crushed to death by him, and now no one can compete with him. Taoguang is obscure, bear with it first! ”

"I don't believe that my father and mother will always connive at Pei Yan and control the government like this." Princess Taiping was a little angry, "This artifact of the Tang Dynasty is not surnamed Li, but can it also be surnamed Pei?" ”

"No, it won't." Xue Shao said, "The Second Sage will definitely have a way to curb the expansion of Pei Yan's power, otherwise it will threaten the authority of the king." ”

"Actually, I've always felt that Pei Yan's desire for power is too strong." Princess Taiping shook her head, frowned and said, "Although I have never been involved in political affairs, I have seen this kind of thing a lot since I was a child. A capable courtier will certainly be used by the saint, but if his desires are too inflated and threaten the saint, then he will not end well. ”

Xue Shao smiled, Princess Taiping's words were really to the point. Pei Yan is very strong now, so strong that no one in the court of the Tang Dynasty can confront him.

When a courtier fights to kill all his colleagues, then only the king is left to play with him.

Now Pei Yan and the queen of heaven have the same position and interests, so they cooperate happily and peacefully. But in fact, both of them are also potential competitors, because they both have a very strong desire for power. Wait, sooner or later they will turn their faces into enemies and pinch each other.

The couple were eating and chatting, when a guest suddenly came to visit, saying that he was an envoy from the East Palace.

The couple coincidentally thought of one thing, the crown prince Li Xian had just added a concubine born with a golden key, and he would be crowned the emperor's grandson when the full moon was full. At this time, what can the East Palace do if it sends an envoy over?

He called in the envoy, presented a letter, and left. It is written by the prince Li Xian, inviting Princess Taiping and the concubine to have a banquet tomorrow and spend the Shangyuan Festival together.

"I want to guard His Majesty tomorrow, how can I go to the East Palace to accompany the prince to spend the Shangyuan Festival?" Xue Shao said, "The prince knew about this matter and sent a letter to invite, so it should be a special trip to invite you." ”

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Xue Lang, you don't know my brother the crown prince. He was a dull man with no scheming. Whenever he has any ideas, it is his crown princess Webster who gives him Zhang Luo. ”

"You mean, it's Princess Wei who wants to invite us over?" Xue Shao sneered, "Shouldn't she be sore and tired just after giving birth?" There is still such a thing as leisure Zhang Luo. ”

"Whatever, I don't like that woman anyway." Princess Taiping pursed her lips and said, "But the prince's brother has always been good to me, and I like him very much when he gives birth to a little nephew." Although the full moon is celebrated, I am his own sister, so I should visit in advance. Although it was me who was invited by the prince's brother, in fact, what he wanted to invite the most was you, the incoming General Yu Linwei. But the prince and his wife were afraid of surprise, so they deliberately chose a day that you couldn't go to and posted a request. Am I right or not? ”

Xue Shao smiled: "See, I haven't officially taken office yet, so I'm starting to recruit phoenixes and butterflies." ”

"Come to think of it, the prince's brother is quite pitiful." Princess Taiping shook her head and said, "There is hardly a capable person in his East Palace, and there is no place for him to stand on the court. finally has a capable brother-in-law, of course he wants to get close! ”

Xue Shao smiled and didn't say anything, thinking to himself, isn't it enough to be caught between the two saints and be embarrassed? I'm close to the East Palace set when I die!

Seeing Xue Shao's smile like this, Princess Taiping also knew it, and she smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do - only talk about brother and sister affection, and never talk about anything else!" ”

"Hmm!" Xue Shao nodded and smiled, his heart was sharp, smart wife!

Early the next morning, Xue Shao returned to Beiya.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is also the birthday of Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. In the Tang Dynasty, when Taoism was the state religion, this festival was more important than all other festivals, including the Spring Festival.

From today to the next three days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival. From today onwards, whether it is the capital of Chang'an or the countryside, a grand Shangyuan Lantern Festival will be held everywhere. During the day, the people will go to the market to join in the fun, and at night, it will be a grand Shangyuan Lantern Festival. At that time, all the streets and trees will be covered with colorful lanterns, as well as huge lantern wheels, lantern trees and lampposts, and there will be many interesting lantern riddles to guess, as well as tug-of-war, fire racing and acrobatics.

From the royal family to the commoners, the Shangyuan Festival is a festival for everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, the people are rich, and the atmosphere of the festival is particularly strong. Places like the Thousand Cavalry Barracks are hung up with lanterns today, and everyone is in a good mood. In addition, on a special day like today, he was selected by His Majesty the Emperor to be the imperial guard, and showed his face in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Chang'an City, and the soldiers of the Thousand Cavalry still had some pride.

Now except for Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, others don't know that Xue Shao is about to be transferred from Qianqi and take up a post elsewhere. After the crusade against Bai Tieyu, there was a deep layer of robe affection between Xue Shao and the soldiers of the thousand horses. Xue Shao didn't want to tell them the news of his departure on such a day, so he deliberately kept it a secret.

Today, every soldier of the Thousand Cavalry is fully equipped with military generals, wearing five-colored robes and bright light armor, and riding six idle horses and wearing honor swords. They have been used to this kind of thing before, so they are familiar with the road and dress themselves up very glamorous and stylish.

It's just that in the past, they were just glamorous and stylish, unlike now they really have the prestige of soldiers and the military prestige of elite divisions.

These changes were unaware of the soldiers of the Thousand Horsemen. When Xue Shao pulled their team out and walked towards the Daming Palace, the guards of Yulinwei and Fengchenwei saw the frequent surprises, and the soldiers of the thousand horsemen came to their senses - we are different from before!

We have experienced the baptism of blood and fire of the war, and we are the real guardians of the Tang Dynasty!

The team arrived in front of the Penglai Palace, where the lanterns were decorated very beautifully, and a huge colored dragon coiled on the palace could be seen from afar, as if taking off in the clouds and mist, overlooking Chang'an, very beautiful, very spectacular. Xue Shao looked at this big colored dragon and wondered in his heart, now that there are no cranes and hydraulic ladders, how did those craftsmen drive such a huge colored dragon intact to the huge palace?

It's amazing!

The team gathered outside, and Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu, the two specially selected "Taiyi Generals" and "Tianguan Generals", entered the palace to welcome Emperor Li Zhi.

The two of them walked into the hall and felt a strong contrast in the atmosphere, but the hall was full of joy outside the hall, but the hall was deserted and depressed, and every palace person was in a hurry with their heads down and their faces drooping, and there was no festive joy at all, and they all looked very nervous.

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, couldn't it be that Li Zhi was about to hang up?

The two stopped in front of Li Zhi's dormitory, and saw that Zhou Jitong, the general of Zuo Fengchenwei, was personally guarding here, and Xue Shao, the other Qianniu preparations, also recognized it.

Xue Shao stepped forward to ask Zhou Jitong to pass it on his behalf, Zhou Jitong shook his head with an ugly face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is dizzy, and it is difficult to get up and change clothes." The queen of heaven and the imperial doctor Qin Minghe are waiting, and they don't know when they will get better. At tonight's Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it is doubtful whether His Majesty can appear in the Vermilion Bird City Tower. In such a situation, I have to grieve General Xue to wait here! ”

Xue Shao nodded, it was thanks to Zhou Jitong that he didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he told him these secret words. It seems that Li Zhi's body is really not good...... The Tang Empire is about to have a big earthquake!
