At the end of the first year of Ruyi, Quan Ce asked for exemption from Zhengdan with injuries and illnesses, and did not feast with Zhengdan.

Empress Wu was not allowed, saying that this was a grand event of the imperial court, and it was not appropriate to be absent, so that he could do his best.

On the day of the feast, the Empress Wu first is the Imperial Gate of Heaven, the ministers and hundreds of officials and nobles are ranked, the foreign feudal clans pay tribute one by one, the queue is as long as a cloud, from the morning to the afternoon, in order to avoid missing the good time of the sacrifice, the Honglu Temple has to speed up the progress, so that several vassal states are parallel to the royal road, although the foreign sprinkled looks messy, but there is more luxuriant scene, the Empress Wu is quite happy.

After the tributary ceremony is completed, the general of the ten thousand cavalry Tuoba Siyu leads the ten thousand cavalry to lead, the horse warrior is like the elephant of the dragon and tiger, magnificent and heroic, the vassal countries heard that this person is the king of the West Qiang, the look is different, many of the vassals are showing off their own countrymen in the Great Zhou as the official worship general, and there is honor, the sense of belonging is quite strong, the most violent reaction is the Tubo Great Minister's Qinling, the battle of Anjung City, the Qiang people broke into the Tubo Plateau for dozens of days, the erosion tribe is not less than hundreds, and the hatred that can not be washed away for several lifetimes is formed, although he knows that this is the Great Zhou Dynasty to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, deliberately, But in the eastern half of Tibet, the blood everywhere is not something that a few conspiracy theories can cross.

On Qinling's dark face is wrinkled, which is quite incommensurate with his age of less than forty, his face is always with a depressed color, and he does not see the flying and grace of ordinary ministers, he raised his eyelids slightly, and quickly glanced at the golden throne, which is full of luxurious and majestic women, the only man, is the biggest enemy of Tubo, Quan Ce, look at his location, close to the side of the Great Zhou Emperor, Tubo wants to avenge the two arrows, but it is not easy.

He just swept lightly, but was keenly captured by Quan Ce, after a while, Quan Ce's eyes swam, looked over, bowed slightly to him and nodded in salute, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, coughed lightly, his face was pale and haggard, frowning from time to time, and forcibly endured the pain in various parts of his body, the Empress Wu ordered him to do his best, he had to come, but he didn't know the intention of the Empress Wu, Zhengdan feasting on the emperor's heir Li Dan and others may be a matter of urgency, and the place where the soldiers must fight, for him, it is dispensable red tape.

Accustomed to manipulating the wind and rain behind the scenes, he no longer has the idea of going to the forefront.

Quan Ce and Shangguan Wan'er accompanied the Empress Wu on the left and right, the side is not only on the Qin Mausoleum, but also many courtiers, if it is said that the banquet is a foreign domain, there is also a little private nature, the Empress Wu arranged the Quan Ce with him, which can only show that the selfish love for the Quan Ce is not enough for training, this place is a big feast, a sacrifice for a major event, a major ceremony for the country, the right Ce is still on the side of the Empress Wu, which is worth playing with the meaning.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The majestic horn sounded, the lion and tiger elephant all kinds of fierce beasts roared in a low voice, the ten thousand cavalry soldiers stood in line on both sides of the royal road, the people and horses were strictly orderly, in front of the Vientiane Shrine, a fierce general with a golden helmet and golden armor immediately crossed the sword, it was Tuoba Siyu, his face was solemn, his eyes swept over the lines and did not move, and his cavalry was not shocked, there was pride and pressure in his heart, this team was trained by General Xie Yaohuan next to the Empress Wu, but he was sitting back and enjoying his success, with such a strong foundation, if he could not make the ten thousand horses proud of the North Ya, he would be faceless.

Thinking of the fireworks army that is also under his own control, his pressure is even greater, since the establishment of this army, although the number of soldiers is not much, but it has a unique temperament, self-contained, there is Wu Yanji in the front, and Li Zhan in the back, all of them are people with strong backgrounds, they have touched a disgraced face in the fireworks army, and they have sunk into the sand, Wu Yanji was directly impeached by his subordinate officer Yingxiao, Li Zhan resigned because of the death of Quan Yu, it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see clearly, the blame is false, and he can't control the fireworks army, and it is true to take the opportunity to get out with dignity.

"The minister Fu Guogong, the general of the ten thousand cavalry Tuoba Siyu, knock to see Your Majesty, respectfully ask Your Majesty to the Vientiane Shrine, sacrifice to the heaven and earth temple" Tuoba Siyu suddenly knelt, the drum horn sounded again, the military queen arranged the sleeves of the robe, along the royal road A row of ten thousand cavalry on both sides of the royal road, two rows of civil and military officials, vassal tribute envoys and ministers, popular grass, knelt on the ground one after another.

Under the sun, I especially love her golden phoenix robe, the light is shining, Feng Xuan resists the wind, the winter wind whirls on her, rolls up her clothes and dances, stretching her majestic momentum, almost filling the heavens and the earth, the majestic Vientiane Divine Palace is waiting, only this one person.

Chunguan Shangshu Yan Shansi presided over the feast ceremony, in accordance with the etiquette regulations, singing loudly, the imperial heir Li Dan finally got the opportunity to sacrifice that belonged to him, with the ritual music in the palace, stepping on the step to dance the body, to the first sacrifice of the martial arts to present a variety of sacrificial vessels, nine tripods and eight jade Xuanji, wine syrup, nine prisons, sacrifices in place, to present the last ritual vessel, millet grass, that is, when the grain, Li Dan held a large spike of giant seedlings to offer.

Empress Wu didn't reach out to take it, "Quan Ce, bring it for me"

As early as Empress Wu ascended the royal road, Quan Ce was hidden in the sea of people, Ge Hui and Xue Chongyin supported him left and right, keeping up with the sacrificial procession and rhythm.

Hearing the call of the Empress Wu, Quan Ce's face remained unchanged, and he moved forward, but his heart was slanderous, and the Empress Wu's energy was too vigorous, and he was tossing and turning blindly all the time.

His injuries were still serious, his steps were a little slow, he had to endure the pain every time he moved, he walked to the center of the shrine, his teeth were already bitten, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he went to Li Dan, stretched out his arms, caught the bunch of seedlings, and did not touch the sacrifice, turned around, retreated diagonally, and landed firmly behind Li Dan, bent down and bowed, stretched out his arms, and sent the seedlings to the front of the martial queen.

The movement pulled the wound on his back apart, and the pain hit him, and his arm trembled slightly.

Empress Wu took He Miao and waved his hand, two female officials had already stepped forward to help Quan Ce out of the Vientiane Divine Palace, she forced Quan Ce to participate in the Zhengdan feast, just to let him show his face, accumulate more political capital, and come in some greater use.

Empress Wu's eyes wandered, swept over Li Dan's face, he tried his best to hide himself, but the loss and resentment in his eyes could not be erased, it was easy to wait for Wu Chenghei to fall and get a good opportunity to correct his name, but unexpectedly he did not finish the whole work, and he stabbed out a powerful strategy.

Empress Wu smiled leisurely and completed the sacrificial ceremony, and King Wu Sansi of Liang came on the stage as the final offering, dancing with his hands, like a great god.

After the feast on the New Year's Day, the Empress Wu went to the suburbs to worship the Wu Clan's temple, and gave a banquet in Taoguang Garden at night.

During the banquet, many vassal countries asked for an audience to show the state of the country and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty for benefits.

Empress Wu pondered for a moment, "Zhu Qing is full of fists, I have received it, but the state affairs are busy, and I lack skills, so I arranged for the imperial heir Li Dan and Jin Ziguanglu Doctor Quan Ce to meet with Zhu Qing on their behalf, and all thoughts and thoughts were conveyed by the two of them, if they did not receive the invitation of the two of them, they could be cast in the Honglu Temple, and I would see it in person."

After the banquet was over, he arranged for his subordinates to explain to Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, that he would meet with Khitan Li Quanzhong, Tubo Daxiang Qinling, Later Turkic Khan Mosi, and Silla lord Jin Lihong, and no mistakes should be made.

Deng Huaiyu had no choice but to obey, and the big foreign domain was wiped out by the emperor's heirs, and Quan Langjun's errand was afraid that it would be difficult to shine.

Princess Yiyang's Mansion, Quan Ce lay on the bed, Zhengdan feasted, in exchange for a hot and painful body, he pinched a feather decorated with rubies in his hand.

"Big brother, this is Sister Wan'er asking me to return you, you, but what did you do inappropriately to offend her?" Wu Chongxing looked anxious, the two people closest to him were now in trouble, and he was the most unhappy to see.

"Chongxing must not be rude" Xue Chongyin scolded, "Shangguan Wan'er is not easy to deal with, and knows a lot of secrets, if she has the intention of repeating, my cousin must make plans early."

"Chongyin is too worried, I know it in my heart" Quan Ce thought for a moment, and it was not difficult to perceive Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts, what is this, and Jun Mingzhu was in tears, hating to meet when he was not married? It's not so much about returning things, it's better to say that this is Shangguan Wan'er's hesitation in his heart, testing his mind, "Chongxing still brings this thing back, and say a word to her, the fluttering tent turns in shock, the stalk breaks the soul, and finally the time comes, it is a dream that should wake up for a long time"

You should wake up for a long time.
