"They left Di Mansion and went to Longmen Mountain?"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but ponder after hearing this.

Shangguan Wan'er guessed on the side. "Your Majesty, aren't they going to remember the happy time when they ran the autumn wind together, right?" ”

"Remembering happy times?" Wu Zetian felt a little funny, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it is Di Ge who has this idle time, or Lu Xiaoxian who has this Yaxing?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er laughed and laughed at herself: "Your Majesty said yes! The minister just said it in passing! ”

"Besides, even if they are going to remember happiness, why do they bring Ji Ji, and what does this have to do with him?"

"Why don't you ......," Shangguan Wan'er suggested, "Your Majesty, just call Elder Di Ge or Lu Xiaoxian into the palace to ask, and it will be clear." ”

"No need!" Wu Zetian shook his head: "I know the loyalty of Elder Di Ge, and Lu Xiaoxian will not be like some people, who have malicious intentions and engage in any conspiracy, and he can also trust him!" rashly summoning them into the palace is not beautiful. Forget it, let's wait for Yang Si to come back and listen to what he has to say! ”

At this time on weekdays, Wu Zetian should have rested. But today's abnormality is to wait for Yang Si.

In the morning, Wei Tuan'er took Yang Si's invitation card to ask Wu Zetian whether he agreed to let Yang Si go to Lu Xiaoxian's dinner.

Wu Zetian just wanted to take this opportunity to test Lu Xiaoxian's attitude, so he readily agreed, and also instructed Yang Si to ask Lu Xiaoxian some questions.

Shangguan Wan glanced at the hourglass next to the desk, and said to Wu Zetian: "Yang Si has been gone for almost two hours, calculating the time, he should be back soon!" ”

"It's useless to be anxious, just wait!" Wu Zetian is very patient.

"Chen was just worried that Yang Si drank too much and missed the right thing. Didn't Your Majesty hear that Gorou and Rokuro said, this Lu Xiaoxian is a lot of alcohol! ”

"Back then, Yang Si and Lu Xiaoxian were in Panzhou, and they could be regarded as friends in distress. When Yang Si went to Lu Xiaoxian's banquet, he must have drunk alcohol. But I know very well that he will never get drunk! Wu Zetian said lightly, "Yang Si is also an old man in the palace, don't you know him all these years?" He knows how to measure! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are fewer and fewer cautious people like Yang Si now. I've been wondering, one day it's time to let Tuan'er go out of the palace and get married, I'm also a person who is about to enter the ground, I can't let her stay a widow in this palace for the rest of her life, right? When the day comes, let Yang Si take over Tianji Pavilion, and I will be relieved! ”

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be stunned: Is this still the decisive and ruthless Majesty back then?

As he got older, Wu Zetian's temperament also changed. She often reminisces about some of the past, and her words and actions have become more humane. Something like letting Wei Tuan'er go out of the palace to marry someone would never have come out of Wu Zetian's mouth before.

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was speechless, Wu Zetian smiled and quipped: "Wan'er, what do you want?" Don't you also want to get out of the palace and get married? ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty made fun of Wan'er, Wan'er didn't go anywhere, just served Your Majesty in the palace!" ”

"Ghost clever, don't think that Lian doesn't know, it's not a day or two since you and Cui Xiang got along!"

"Your Majesty......" Shangguan Wan'er's face turned even redder, and she couldn't say anything.

……

Yang Si burped, said goodbye to Lu Xiaoxian, and then headed towards Tianjin Bridge.

He came to Lu Xiaoxian's house on time for a banquet, but he didn't expect to meet Wei Xuzhong at the gate.

It turned out that Wei Xuzhong, like Yang Si, was also invited to the banquet.

Although Yang Si and Wei Xuzhong were both officials in Luoyang, they rarely interacted with each other on weekdays. If they hadn't come to Lu Xiaoxian's banquet together today, they really wouldn't have had a chance to sit together.

Seeing Yang Si and Wei Xuzhong, Lu Xiaoxian was extremely happy.

Of course, the two of them also felt Lu Xiaoxian's enthusiasm: the huge hall, a table full of delicious food, and several jars of wine, only the three of them enjoyed it.

The strongest friendships are forged in shared adversity, just as pig iron can only be tempered into a pot in a blazing fire.

Recalling the time spent in Panzhou, Yang Si felt as if he had returned to the past.

After talking about the past, it is natural to imagine the future. Lu Xiaoxian, Yang Si and Wei Xuzhong chatted while eating, drinking, and were so happy.

By the end, Wei Xuzhong was already drunk.

If it weren't for the mission entrusted by His Majesty, Yang Si would have concluded that he would be like Wei Xuzhong, drunk and rested.

Lu Xiaoxian's amount of alcohol was taught by Yang Si when he was in Panzhou.

During the banquet, Yang Si was nervous, worried that Lu Xiaoxian would not let him go and let him get drunk to death. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxian did not deliberately persuade Yang Si to drink, which allowed him to escape this catastrophe.

Although he also drank a lot, at least Yang Si's mind was still clear.

Wei Xuzhong stayed directly in Lu Xiaoxian's mansion, but Yang Si had to go back to the palace.

Entering the imperial city, Yang Si seemed to have changed as a person, except for the indelible smell of wine on his body, no one could tell that he had drunk.

……

"Your Majesty! Yang Si begs to see! Wei Tuan'er whispered.

Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly: I'm finally back.

Wu Zetian, who was pretending to be asleep, also opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!" ”

Entering the dormitory of Wu Zetian in Shangyang Palace, Yang Sishi saluted and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Excuse me!" Wu Zetian waved his hand to Wei Tuan'er, who was standing solemnly, "Tuan'er, you can also go down and rest!" ”

After Wei Tuan'er retreated, Wu Zetian looked at Yang Si and said, "Let's talk about it!" What's going on. ”

Yang Si understood Wu Zetian's thoughts, he licked his lips, and told Wu Zetian the whole process of going to the banquet tonight in every detail.

“…… Wei Xuzhong asked Lu Gongzi for advice, saying that Ji Zaifu had told him privately several times that he wanted to transfer him to the Criminal Department, but he didn't know whether he should go or not......"

Wu Zetian took over the words and said with a smile: "This Ji Ji will dig into the corner, he wants Wei Xuzhong to go to the Criminal Department, how can Lai Junchen release him?" ”

Yang Si nodded and said, "Lu Gongzi also said so, he asked Wei Xu to quickly reject Ji Zaifu. Looking ahead and looking ahead will only make Ji Zaifu think that Wei Xuzhong wants to go to the Criminal Department, if Ji Zaifu really wants to ask for someone from Zhongcheng, Wei Xuzhong will be passive. In the end, Wei Xuzhong could not go to the Criminal Department, and let Lai Zhongcheng have a prejudice against Wei Xuzhong, neither side was good, and he was not a person inside and out. ”

"Anything else?" Wu Zetian asked again.

Wei Xuzhong also complained to Lu Gongzi that he had been coming to Zhongchen for so many years

As a supervisor of the imperial history, there is no less work to do, but there is no change in the official position! ”

"Wei Xuzhong is too small?" Wu Zetian sneered: "I don't look at how capable I am, if it weren't for Junchen to protect him, it is estimated that he would not even be able to supervise the imperial history." ”

Wei Xuzhong is Lai Junchen's confidant, he only obeys Lai Junchen's orders on weekdays, he has never read, and he is only a brain, many ministers look down on him, and there are not a few people who impeach him.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Si's eyes and said: "Lu Gongzi also means this, he warned Wei Xuzhong, as long as he comes to Zhongcheng to be Zhongcheng in Zuosu Zhengtai for a day, don't do anything excessive, don't say anything excessive, just follow Laizhongcheng honestly, and it is the first thing to keep safe first." If you annoy Lai Zhongcheng one day, and even your life is gone, wouldn't the others be flowers in the mirror! ”

Shangguan Wan smiled on the side: "It's a pity that this Lu Xiaoxian is not an official, he is very familiar with officialdom!" ”

Wu Zetian was not interested in Wei Xuzhong's affairs at all, she said a little impatiently: "Let's get down to business, have you asked his opinion about the conquest of the Khitan this time?" ”

"The minister asked from the side, but he didn't avoid the minister and said what he thought!" Yang Si hurriedly said, "He said that Your Majesty must have an idea to let King Liang take command, King Liang is Your Majesty's nephew, if this expedition to the Khitan has made a great contribution, it also represents the kings of the Wu clan, otherwise how to serve the public in a high position." Back then, Xue Guoshi was also named the Duke of the State because of his contributions to the Turks, and he didn't see any objections from any court ministers. He said he would do the same if it were him......"

Speaking of this, Yang Si secretly glanced at Wu Zetian.

Lu Xiaoxian's words were a little overstepping, Yang Si was very worried that Wu Zetian would be angry, but he didn't dare not report it truthfully.

Who knew that Wu Zetian was not angry at all when he heard this, and nodded slightly: "You go on!" ”

The minister asked him what he thought of the Khitan rebellion and the Khitan playing the banner of King Luling! He said that barbarians are all dogs and sheep, rebellion is impermanent, and it is normal for Khitan people to rebel. Even if it is not reversed this time, it will be reversed in the future! As for the Khitan playing the banner of King Luling, it is just an excuse and gimmick for rebellion. In fact, the Khitan didn't care about the question of who would be the emperor of the Great Zhou at all. For them, survival is the first priority. There is no need to blame King Luling for the Khitan doing this, he said that His Majesty must know this very well. However, he also said that the slogan of Khitan did play a role in winning people's hearts, and if it were replaced by him......"

Speaking of this, Yang Si stopped and glanced at Wu Zetian's face again.

Lu Xiaoxian's words are too much, the sky is unpredictable, and Yang Sizhen doesn't know when Wu Zetian will get angry.

Wu Zetian knew what Yang Si was thinking, and waved his hand to signal: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Yang Sizhan said tremblingly: "He said that if he were replaced, he would copy His Majesty's practice of quelling the rebellion in Yangzhou back then, and it would definitely have a miraculous effect!" ”

Hearing Yang Si's words, Wu Zetian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

In that year, Yangzhou anti-thieves played the banner of "Kuang Fu Luling King".

Wu Zetian sent Tang Gaozong's cousin Li Xiaoyi as the commander-in-chief, in order to correspond to the rebellion banner of "Kuang Fu Luling King", to prove that he was supported by the Li Tang clan.

Although Li Xiaoyi could not fight, he played a big role in politics. Wu Zetian also sent an assistant to Li Xiaoyi, Wei Yuanzhong, and finally put down the rebellion.
