Li Tong stayed in Xianju Courtyard for more than an hour, and saw that his grandmother's face was already quite tired, so he got up to say goodbye and leave.

Although he already has a very mature idea of the next plan in his heart, he still feels that he has benefited a lot from talking deeply with his grandmother during this time. After all, Wu Zetian is also a politician with decades of governing experience.

Experience may not be able to broaden people's minds, but the consideration and grasp of details are far beyond the current Li Tong. And Wu Zetian also has a plan to treat him as the heir of the mantle, although all kinds of life experiences are not taught, but they are all answered.

Especially for the evaluation of these characters who are active in the current situation, Wu Zetian's understanding is far deeper than Li Tong's, and the teaching of this aspect can also make Li Tong have a more calm understanding of himself and his opponent when he plays games with those people in the future.

Just thinking of his aunt Princess Taiping's willful and reckless behavior, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh again. The historical Princess Taiping undoubtedly played an important role in the late Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Zhongzong Dynasty, but the current situation is obviously not a stage for Princess Taiping to dance wantonly.

Whether it is Li Tong himself, Li Zhaode or Di Renjie, or even the imperial heir Li Dan, they will not be too indulgent to Princess Taiping. And Guan Longxun and the nobles have not been integrated by Li Wu, and if Princess Taiping really wants to mix with these people, there will never be any good results.

After leaving Xianju Courtyard, Li Tong moved to several nearby leisure gardens. The female officials in the forbidden middle school are now arranged to live nearby.

Li Tong first found Mrs. Huayang, and carefully inquired about leaving the palace and returning to her private residence later.

The Di clan still had a smile on his face at this time, and when he heard the acting king's inquiry, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and she has already become vulgar, and she thought that the rest of her life would end here and repay the grace of the king, but she was unexpectedly expelled, and she was also disappointed for a while. I don't dare to have any delusional requests, but I hope that I can often ask Your Majesty in the future. ”

These words can be described as sincere and extremely sad.

However, the eyes of playing politics are always very dirty, and Li Tong doesn't think that the Di clan is reluctant to His Majesty the Holy Emperor. As his grandmother said, no matter how great the kindness is, he can't cut off the affection, he knows how much the Di family misses his son Pei Guangting.

The reason why he looks so reluctant is probably because of the panic about the situation outside the palace. These female officials are to be banned and banned, and if the imperial court really wants to define the Wu Zhou Dynasty and Tang as a reverse matter, they will inevitably be accused of aiding and abusive.

"Mrs. has a deep gratitude, which makes Xiao Wang also deeply moved. But the holy will has been decided, and he is unwilling to be tied by kindness and righteousness and force him to stay in the palace. But no matter inside and outside, they always bathe in this day together, and the love and righteousness are deep, far from being blocked by a few palace walls. The young man of the Zunfu and I also have a deep personal friendship, and I often regret that I can't serve my relatives. Now that I have been appointed consul, it is only natural that I should return my wife to the family in a safe manner. ”

When Li Tong said this, he smiled again: "Madame has been banned for a long time, although it is difficult to show her merits, but it is also practical. Or I don't want to be famous, but the heavenly family should not be treated lightly, and I will ask for another order later, and I must let my wife return home! ”

During the Yongchang period, Pei Xingjian was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Jiangguo, and Xue Rengui, the Duke of Puguo, was posthumously awarded during the same period, all of whom were praised by Wu Zetian for the success of the revolution.

Taking advantage of this time the female officials were sent out, Wu Zetian hoped that Li Tong could ask the court for his life and give this group of female officials the title of women, and Li Tong also agreed. For example, Mrs. Huayang, it is enough to crown a Mrs. of a country.

Through this, Li Tong also realized that his grandmother's dispatch of this group of female officials was not just as simple as being discouraged and letting these henchmen return home and enjoy their families.

Now that Wu Zetian's power has been lost, Li Tong is guarded at the north gate, which is actually a kind of house arrest. Whether it is him or his fourth uncle Li Dan, they actually don't want her influence to spread out of the palace again.

Therefore, Wu Zetian wanted to send this group of female officials out of the palace, these female officials were previously responsible for helping her handle government affairs and control the court, and now they are trying to maintain her influence in the foreign court.

After all, these female officials are the most elite women in the world, and they must be extraordinary if they can cultivate their families. After they left the palace, they returned home, but their own fate and Wu Zetian's honor and disgrace are still closely related, so of course, they must maintain Wu Zetian's situation and treatment.

Perhaps their respective families cannot be condensed into a political force that dominates the current situation, but if they do unite, they should not be underestimated.

It can also be seen that Wu Zetian's rank is really high, even if the power is seized, he still loses the means to maintain himself. She entrusted this matter to Li Tong, and Li Tong naturally had no reason to refuse, which was also of great benefit to him.

At least now, it seems that Li Tong will be the only protector of these female officials, and their respective families can also be classified into Li Tong's faction to a certain extent. This can be regarded as a kind of inheritance of his grandmother's political assets.

In fact, Li Tong was not the only candidate, and it was obvious that his aunt, Princess Taiping, was more suitable for this role than him. It's a pity that Princess Taiping focuses on the overall situation and is keen on an alliance with a powerful force like Guan Longxungui, and can't look down on this kind of relatively marginal political force. Wu Zetian was disappointed, and he could only explain the matter to Li Tong.

Hearing that it was possible to obtain a new seal, the expression on his face decreased slightly, and he turned to thank the acting king again and again. It is no wonder that the change of attitude is so realistic, after the turmoil of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of cruelty in it, they should feel more profoundly, even if it is not for themselves, but also for their families.

Now that the Holy Emperor has been imprisoned, and the imperial heir is ordered to supervise the country, thinking of the pain of being imprisoned in the past and the revenge of killing his wife, he may not dare to retaliate against the Holy Emperor, but he may not let go of these female officials who aided and abused.

In such a situation, they do need a strong protector who can protect them.

Although Li Tong has already received this task, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is difficult to inquire in detail about the actual situation and demands of each female official, so he entrusted the Di family to visit on his behalf, draw up a charter, and then he came forward to send these female officials out of the deep palace in batches.

After discussing with the Di clan for a while, Li Tong said goodbye and left. However, when he arrived at a remote garden, he subconsciously stopped, Shangguan Wan'er lived in this garden, and after thinking about it, he walked into the garden, intending to talk to Shangguan Wan'er in person.

The area of Xianyuan is not small, but it seems a little deserted. It is the middle of winter now, there are only some stumps and leaves in the flower grid, and after a few autumn chrysanthemums are frosted, only a few dead and hung on the flower receptacle, which looks even more desolate.

Li Tongxing entered the hospital, and he didn't even see the palace maid who was sprinkling and sweeping, so he walked straight to the main hall.

It seemed that he heard the heavy footsteps of the forbidden army armor, and waited until Li Tong was still more than a foot away from the door, and then two maidservants hurriedly walked out of the room, hurriedly worshiped on the cold stone slab and said in a trembling voice: "The servant did not know that His Highness was coming, and he was lost in the worship, please forgive His Highness!" ”

"Get up, can the Shangguan internal system be in the house? I didn't tell me to come in and take the liberty of visiting, but I was abrupt. ”

As he spoke, he crossed the two palace maids, and just took two steps forward, when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's somewhat flustered response from the room: "Please Your Highness wait for a while, let the concubine ......"

When Li Tong heard this, he paused, turned to face the vestibule, and motioned for the guards to sit in the porch.

After another quarter of an hour, Shangguan Wan'er's apologetic voice came from behind him: "In the first time, I am lazy in the house, my posture is not repaired, and I am tired of waiting ......for His Highness for a long time."

Li Tong turned his head when he heard this, and when he saw Shangguan Wan'er's current image, he couldn't help but smile.

Shangguan Wan'er in front of her did not have a bun, her head was full of green silk and only used a headband to hold it behind her head, and her face was also pure to the extreme, but the tip of her left eyebrow was slightly raised, looking a little arrogant. There was not much of a problem with the costume, a light red thick deep coat, but the shawl was only carried in one arm crook, and the other end had hung down to the ground.

Shangguan Wan'er saw the smile in the acting king's eyes, but her face was extremely dignified, and while bowing, her arms were already behind her back, trying to straighten the shawl. While making these small movements, he said calmly: "If Your Highness has a teaching, the envoy will leave immediately, and He Lao will come to the Burrow in person." ”

Li Tong was not in a hurry to answer, but just stood outside the door with an interested hand. He rarely saw Shangguan Wan'er so out of shape, watching the other party force his composure, while trying to reach back, his fingers hooked the shawl, pulled it, and fell off......

If this is the third, Shangguan Wan'er simply stretched out her arms, took out the shawl with both hands in front of her, and explained in a light tone: "It's just the brocade material of the group pattern, which was entered before the moon was made in Shuzhong Palace, if His Royal Highness is infatuated with things, the concubine will not dare to cherish herself." ”

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and then said: "I just visited Mrs. Huayang and asked the palace people about leaving the palace. ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, a trace of doubt flashed on her face, and after a while, she realized that the acting king was still standing outside the door, and she hurriedly took a step back and asked the acting king to enter the house.

The idle garden here is idle all the year round, and Li Tong smelled a smell of old wood after entering the door, but there is a faint fragrance in this smell, which is not unpleasant, but has a feeling of tranquility.

He glanced at the copper incense burner placed on the table, and said with a smile: "I often hear Wei Niangzi's comments, the incense in the palace, and Shangguan Yingzhi is a first-class skill. In previous years, it was rare to appreciate it, and today it is indeed wonderful to log in to the incense pavilion. ”

Shangguan Wan'er first threw a piece of spice into the furnace, and when she heard this, she smiled lightly: "Your Highness said this, the concubine didn't know what to do. Clumsy can never cherish herself, Wei Niangzi also has a lot of gifts, this future is coming, His Royal Highness occasionally has clothes and fragrance from the hands of concubines. ”

Li Tong couldn't help but froze after hearing this, and couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Wan'er, why are you so rushed? Will you still chat?

Shangguan Wan'er sat down at the table, and when she saw that Li Tong was silent, she lowered her head again and said: "It's the concubine who lost her words, Your Highness has a big responsibility, and she is dignified in and out, so how can you care about a little shallow taste." Being able to take the time to visit and praise the concubine was deeply excited, and encouraged herself with this word, hoping to achieve the wonderful land approved by His Royal Highness. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he was sure that this woman was indeed in a mood.

As for why, he felt that he should be fighting for his grandmother, after all, he didn't do this very authentically, and Shangguan Wan'er was born in the palace, and he had already been trained by his grandmother to be a shake M, and he might be a little unable to accept the current situation for a while, and his mentality was a little unbalanced.

He didn't care much about this, so he simply stopped the topic, and then told a little about arranging for the female officials to leave the palace, and then said: "The holy will is like this, I am also ordered to do my best, and I came to visit today to ask the Shangguan how to plan after the system, if the deceased relatives who visited a few days ago can be entrusted, I will arrange for ......"

"No, there doesn't have to be His Highness Lao! The concubine doesn't plan to leave the palace! ”

Shangguan Wan'er didn't wait for Li Tong to finish speaking, she had already raised her hand to interrupt his words, and said in a firm tone, and at the same time her expression was full of sadness.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's refusal so simply, Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If Shangguan Yingzhi is worried about the nuisance of leaving the palace or having some affairs, this is not necessary!" Even if Your Majesty pays me the matter, just saying that I inherit the old favor of the Shangguan system, after entering the world, I will have everything with me, and I will definitely make the Shangguan Yingzhi live smoothly and worry-free. ”

"Ha, that concubine really wants to thank His Highness!"

Shangguan Wan'er was deeply embarrassed after hearing this, but after raising her head, her eyes were slightly red, and her tone also added a little weakness: "Concubine Cheng knows that His Royal Highness is now powerful and powerful, and he is even more revolutionary heroic. If you are willing to shelter yourself, there is no danger at all.

But the concubine and the concubine are just a remnant of the criminal family, and they are fortunate to be floating in the garden, not knowing the size of the world, and they are not able to withstand the harassment of the world. The words of the old favor, please don't repeat your highness, the person with a thin life is really difficult to bear the favor...... I hope that I will die in this old age, and I will not dare to make any more hopes! ”

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He could hear that Shangguan Wan'er was really reluctant to leave Ouchi, which was actually normal, and even before he left the cabinet in the old year, there was no lack of panic in addition to excitement.

When a person lives in a fixed environment for a long time, he is subconsciously afraid to change. Although Shangguan Wan'er is smart and intelligent, she has lived in the deep palace since she was a child, and has seen many cruel and bloody struggles, and she does not have any close family members to take refuge into, so it is normal for people not to dare to leave the palace.

But Li Tong understands that although the current forbidden middle school still seems to be calm, once he leaves for Xijing, after his fourth uncle enters the inner house, the forbidden middle will definitely usher in a relatively complete shock. At that time, it would be very difficult for Shangguan Wan'er to stay in the palace even if she still wanted to stay in the palace.

It's not that he didn't think that Shangguan Wan'er would be reincorporated into the inner palace as the original life trajectory, but the object changed from his third uncle to his fourth uncle.

But this may not be big in itself, his fourth uncle is still very different from his third uncle, the most basic point is that even if it is because of the tragic death of his wife, it is difficult for his fourth uncle to accept Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Zetian's henchman, without psychological barriers.

Moreover, compared to Li Xian, Li Dan's inner palace is actually more complicated. Not to mention Empress Liu and Concubine Dou Guifei, who have been killed, each of the remaining concubines actually has a rather strong mother's family.

Originally, because of the effective combination of Li Longji's rapid rise and Guan Long, coupled with Li Dan's own indisputability and direct abdication, the contradictions between relatives did not have time to brew and erupt.

Even if Shangguan Wan'er is good at dancing with long sleeves and can fight for her position in the inner palace, it is difficult for her to survive when the real conflict intensifies. In the original history, even if there was a powerful ally like Princess Taiping, it was still inevitable that she would be stabbed.

Li Tong was silent for a while before he said to Shangguan Wan'er again: "Shangguan Yingzhi has this obsession, and I shouldn't have said anything more." But after the residence changes hands and the imperial heir returns to the palace, how will the Shangguan system deal with itself? I am indeed short and calm at the moment, and I hope that with this power, the people of the old friendship can be properly settled, and those who can get it in the workshop are only living in peace, but they are far from flashy.

The words are depressed, and I don't know how to describe them. Alas, maybe in the eyes of Shangguan Ying, I am really just untrustworthy. But in any case, before the emperor's heir returns to the palace, if the Shangguan should change his mind, he only needs to send a word, and I will settle down properly. After that, there is a difference between inside and outside, and they dare not exceed the courtesy. ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and prepared to leave, with a little regret in his heart, people like Shangguan Wan'er are very assertive, and since they have made a decision, it is difficult to be easily convinced.

Shangguan Wan'er sat in the middle of the seat, just silent, but there was moisture in her eyes, and it was not until Li Tong walked past her table after saying goodbye that she whispered: "Isn't Your Highness unkind? The old feelings, if the concubine had made a different plan inside and outside, how many can be described now? Traveling hard in the sand, even if you get a thousand pieces of corn, how much can you quench your thirst? What His Royal Highness gives, not what the concubine needs, rather than hastily cut off, it is better to keep a plausible guilt for a long time......"

After Li Tong heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he felt that there seemed to be an invisible suction force spreading out on Shangguan Wan'er's body, sucking his feet tightly on the ground.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that the acting king froze, and her originally depressed expression flashed with a hint of brilliance, she got up from the banquet, looked at the side face of the acting king and showed a little smile: "The concubine is just joking for a while, His Royal Highness is both internal and external, and he can still share a spirit, and the concubine is deeply grateful."

It's just that dogs are difficult to stretch, this garden, hundreds of thousands of households, has nothing to do with me, and there is no concern in my heart. Therefore, relatives may be cast for a while, but for a long time, it is inevitable to be disgusted, and if you are born here, you will die here, and you will live half of your life, just one that does not disturb people. This is just a concubine's personal plan, and I don't need others to bear it for me. ”

Li Tong turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er just looked at him calmly. There was no emotional fluctuation in that beautiful eye, but under this calm gaze, Li Tong subconsciously had a little idea of avoiding it.

He never felt like a weakling, no matter what the situation he faced. But now, Shangguan Wan'er's calm gaze made him a little timid to respond.

"Let's all stand down!"

After thinking about it, Li Tong raised his hand to retreat from the palace maid standing in front of the door, and motioned to the guards who were sitting silently in the corridor to retreat outside the door, and then turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and said in a condensed voice: "What do you mean?" Think I can't get rid of the thief without it? Keeping a sense of guilt? Why should I feel guilty? The Holy Emperor lost the country because he was able to decide on a mere palace? ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her face gradually turned pale, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, and then forced a smile: "Why did Your Highness ask this?" Concubines, concubines don't know ......"

"What is the merits of the Holy Emperor, what is the right and wrong of what I do, there are opinions in the world, and there are opinions in the ages!"

Li Tong sat back in the seat, raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said in a condensed voice.

And Shangguan Wan'er also regained her composure at this time, and also sat down in the seat, facing Li Tong Zhengse and said: "What the concubine has seen, it's just a corner, I don't know how big the world is, my teeth are close to three, it's hard to predict the shortness, and I don't know how far away I am!" Your Highness doesn't have to talk about it, if it wasn't for me to see the soul in the old years, then now the concubine and His Royal Highness are not like this! The Holy Emperor has made a great contribution, but the grace to me is only a life, and I have a ...... to your majesty."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were already round, but with the scribbled eyebrows, there was always a bit of gimmick. And when Li Tong saw her like this, he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry for a while.

Since the coup d'état, he has seen a lot of things, and the vast majority of people are more concerned about the evolution of the situation after the coup.

But only when she came to Shangguan Wan'er, there was a bit of Da Zhou's stubbornness, and she actually revealed a little bit of the meaning of death in her words, which really caught people off guard. I can only say that this shake M is really trained to taste.

"So now, what? Since you have to keep your guilt for a long time, while I am here, what you want to do, just do it, what you hear is better than what you see, so that this feeling is even more profound! ”

After a moment of silence, Li Tongcai sneered again.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her expression was first angry, and after a while, she turned gloomy, and she got up angrily and said in a rather indifferent tone: "The big thief is out of me, why don't I dare?" Does Your Highness think that all the people in the world are not one or two rigid? ”

When she had finished speaking, she turned into the inner house proudly, pulled out a white silk without spinning her heels, threw her feet on a beam, and then pulled the ends to form a knot.

Li Tong just sat in the middle of the seat and hugged his arms and sneered, and waited until Shangguan Wan'er stepped on the low table and poked her chin into the knot, then her face changed, she stood up from the seat and walked out of the door, and said as she walked: "I still shouldn't be there, Shangguan should make his own decision." ”

"Li Shouyi ,......"

Shangguan Wan'er let out a sad sigh, looked at Li Tong's back and walked out of the hall, gritted her teeth suddenly, and really kicked the low table of her feet, and then the weight of her entire body hung directly on the white silk.

Li Tong looked back, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, hurriedly turned around and rushed back to the hall, pulled out his saber and cut the taut white silk, Shangguan Wan'er's body was already a little suffocated and convulsed before falling to the ground, first struggling to gasp a few times, and then holding his throat and retching.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's miserable appearance, Li Tong was also a little speechless for a while, and just sat silently aside.

After a long while, Shangguan Wan'er's retching sound stopped, and she just squinted her eyes and stared at Li Tong hatefully. Li Tong felt a little embarrassed, and when he saw the clear red marks on Shangguan Wan'er's white neck, he couldn't help but be glad that she was light in her body, otherwise she might really hurt her throat when she fell.

"I have already reached an understanding with the Holy Emperor, so why should Shangguan be like this?"

Li Tong stretched out his hand and was about to help Shangguan Wan'er up, but unexpectedly, this lady suddenly grabbed his arm and opened her mouth to bite, staring at him while biting, and the bitterness in her eyes almost dripped.

Li Tong felt a little unreasonable, so he simply let her vent, after all, the place where she bit was had an arm guard made of leather, although it hurt a little, but it was not serious.

He just smiled bitterly and raised his other hand and gently rubbed Shangguan Wan'er's flying eyebrows away, so that it was much more pleasing to the eye when he looked at it again. Of course, the hideous appearance of gritting teeth at the moment is not as elegant and beautiful as usual.

Sure enough, the woman was forced to be anxious, and it was just a trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, even if she was like Shangguan Wan'er, she was not exempt from vulgarity.

This posture was maintained for a long time, so that saliva flowed from the corners of Shangguan Wan'er's open and clenched teeth, and Li Tong tentatively twitched his arm, and then pulled out.

Shangguan Wan'er fell to the ground, covered her face, and then covered her face and cried, which can be regarded as reversing the set of procedures and completely staging it.
