Quan Ce broke his promise.

The outer vassals left the Shendu one after another, and the Ruling Department and the Turk Cavalry Department got the standard weapons sold by the Great Zhou as they wished, and collected a large number of backlogs in the arsenals of Zhichong Prefecture in various places, and handed them over to these two large Turkic tribes, in exchange for countless cattle, sheep and horses into the Taifu Temple pasture and the Flying Dragon Stable, the stubborn and the Wuzhile were overjoyed, and they did not even pay the price, let them be slaughtered, and privately gave a lot of property to the right policy, and the right policy made a little excuse, and then laughed, and after the two tribes left in a hurry, the right policy donated millions of dollars to the local official yamen, The local official Shangshu Lu Xiang was frightened first, and after entering the palace to ask for instructions, he was confused and put it into the warehouse.

Only the Khitan Dahe tribal alliance did not get the weapon, Li Quanzhong was very angry, and went to Honglu Temple to visit Honglu Temple Qing Deng Huaiyu, asking Da Zhou to explain, and even several copies of the impeachment of Quan for selfish purposes, dishonesty and disbelief, undermining the prestige of the court, and chilling the vassal submission.

When Song Shu was handed over to the case of Empress Wu, Quan Ce was accompanying him in the Hall of Eternal Life, and there were no attendants in the palace, only the two of them.

After the martial arts, she finished bathing, draped with green silk, and sat lazily, "This yoga is really extraordinary, every time you finish practicing, you will always feel relaxed and happy, the meridians are all connected, and the power is all your credit."

"The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty is in the spring and autumn season, the youth is forever, and the minister doesn't dare to take credit" Quan Ce knelt aside, lowered his head, and had no place to put his eyes.

"You went to Beiya, it's been a while, why hasn't there been any movement, I'm looking forward to it, you will train my Praetorian Guard into an iron-blooded hero" Empress Wu lazily flipped through the song, occasionally inscribed a few words, but most of them were pushed aside and ignored.

"The regulations of the Northern Ya have been completed, the left and right Yu Lin Wei and Wan Cai, and the Fireworks Army are all elite armies, which are enough to run rampant in the world, General Li Duozuo has been in office for a long time and has rich experience, although General Tuoba Siyu is a new one, but he is quite sharp, and the ministers are young, so they should ask for more benefits" Quan Ce bowed his head and said in a low voice, re-emerging from the court, he intended to lie dormant for a period of time, through this period of shock, so as not to be too eye-catching.

Empress Wu laughed, stood up and came to Quan Ce's side, stroked his cheek, and sighed, "I said a long time ago, Xia Yu raised a child, too cautious, you can raise a good talented and strategic young man, become a cautious little family, there is no little determination of the young family, all day long, I am afraid that it is to avoid suspicion, avoidance, avoid disasters and other trivial things, how can it become a big thing?" If you think that the three Dharma Divisions are in your hands, what's the matter? Why bother to make a storm on the ground? ”

"Your Majesty is graceful, the minister has no great ambitions, and he is lucky to invite a name, but in fact, it is difficult to deputy, and he is willing to be a messenger from His Majesty's phoenix tail, and it is enough to be willing to do so" Quan Ce's heart thumped, and he hurriedly confessed his mind.

"You" Empress Wu knelt beside him, the gauze clothes floated with the cold wind, and a corner flew down next to Quan Ce's neck, fragrant and fragrant, but her voice was poignant, "You want to follow me, but you can, it's just that I will be old after all, or rather, I will be old...... I'm still counting on you, one day, to be able to rely on you......"

Quan Ce was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning, he bowed down and bowed, "Your Majesty ......"

"Hugh is going to say that nonsense of a thousand years old" Empress Wu snorted coldly, her eyes were as sharp as knives, "I, I want to listen to your heart"

Quan Ce raised his face and looked at Empress Wu, she was really a little old, the corners of her eyes and lips were densely wrinkled, and her skin was a little loose, but her spirit was still vigorous, looking at this emperor who favored him and believed in him, and also forced him to force him, Quan Ce's nose was slightly sour, and tears were dripping down unconsciously, he gave up the rhetoric on the scene, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the ministers have been deeply favored by Your Majesty for a long time, and it is difficult to repay the broken bones, putting aside the discussion of right and wrong, Your Majesty will work hard, continue the rule of Zhenguan, and the cultural and martial arts will be magnificent, and all the people in the world will have great kindness, If there is really an irreparable time, there is an unspeakable thing, and the minister is willing to cross the jade and be free single-handedly, and the enemy of the world."

Empress Wu looked at his stiff and long back, the corners of his mouth smiled inexplicably, leaned down, stroked gently, from the neck to the waist, and then poured back, repeatedly, "In the past, Li Zhaode once said that there was no nephew who built a temple for his aunt to worship, only a son sacrificed for his mother...... Last night, I saw Emperor Gaozong in a dream, and asked me if I had been kind to cultivating heirs, and I stammered for a long time, but you are the only one who can be mentioned, and you are the only one, and you are just a big life......"

Empress Wu's voice faded away, as if she was deep in thought, Quan Ce waited in silence, not daring to say more.

After a long time, Empress Wu stood up, knelt and sat back, patted his side, let him get up, and the two of them stood side by side, "Quan Ce, you said to me, let the Hu people kill each other, it is beneficial to the Great Zhou, Anrong City, you drive Xiqiang, Xisai, you drive Ashina Hu Sero, why don't you fight with Khitan weapons, drive them to be enemies with Mosi?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are three reasons for the minister, one is that the Khitan has not been convinced by the king for a long time, and the other is that the Khitan is too close to the Great Zhou, and the rebellion is in Liaodong's elbows, and the third, the minister is ordered to make peace with the Later Turks, marry Princess Yunxi, and the Later Turks have enmity with the Khitan, and the minister's move can be announced to the world, and the sincerity of the ministers is very generous.

"Hahaha" Empress Wu laughed, her waist was difficult to straighten, and she feigned anger, "You are a cheeky person, are you used to fake public affairs and private interests?" ”

"The minister does not dare" Quan Ce did not have the intention of fear, although he acted a little bit some time ago, but there was no real sense of fake public and private, whether it was playing polo or selling weapons, it was for the public, for the smooth realization of the peace arrangement of the Empress Wu, and also in order to restrain the ambition of the silent sip, such as the tiger winged by the lost department and the turbid cavalry department, presumably will not live in peace.

"Well, you are harmonious, I am happy to see it, but you are silently saying something first, make a marriage contract first, and get married in two years, but you can't be too anxious" Wu Houguo didn't blame, and threw Li Qianzhong's performance aside, ignoring it, but the latter sentence was a little joking.

"Minister, minister is not in a hurry" Quan Ce was just right, his face was red, and he greatly pleased Empress Wu, laughed loudly, and did not stop for a long time.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the second year of longevity, the foreign vassal missions left Beijing one after another.

In order to see off the mission, it is also a government affairs that greatly reflects the political status, Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, has sent eight letters in a row, arranging a list of send-offs, and they have been rejected one by one, Deng Huaiyu has no choice but to ask Quan Ce for help, Quan Ce looked at his arrangement, and the eight letters were all asked to let him see off the Later Turks, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The changes were very small, and Deng Huaiyu's ninth letter was sparsely submitted, but it was approved very quickly.

Luntai Hou Quanzhu and Jiuqu Hou Wang Hui saw off the Turks, they brought a ceremonial band, outside the Anxi Gate, the dancing girl danced, played a queque bridge fairy, earned Princess Yunxi burst into tears, took off the jade pendant with her, and ordered Quan Zhu to transfer the right policy, "The second brother told his mother-in-law that the slave was born as a Turkic princess, enjoying all the glory, and then fulfilling the responsibility of two people's daughters, and then coming to the mother-in-law to fulfill filial piety"

Princess Yunxi looked back endlessly in the singing and dancing and tears, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight", but it set off a new round of thousands of families singing in Yongfeng, inviting Quan Ce to enter the hook column, which is the dream of every top red man.

Quan Ce sent off the Tubo Great Minister, Qinling and Langqiong Zhaotu Wang.

In the evening, he was an old acquaintance, and in the past, he was attached, and there was a lot of turmoil, Quan Ce held his hand and greeted him, asked for warmth, and was very concerned, and said for most of the hour, and ignored the Qinling Mausoleum, and was moved to tears in the evening.

The officials of Honglu Temple are sweating profusely, and the state of etiquette in the Great Zhou Dynasty has never heard of a greeting envoy to shake the face of the foreign domain, and it is still a big feudal clan that is eyeing the tiger.

After repeated reminders, Quan Ce took a moment to recuperate, turned around and faced his sad face, full of frost.

On Qinling, he is not good at stubble, he looked at his face impatiently, and waved his hand, "General, goodbye"

Seeing that he was about to leave with his sleeves up, Quan Ce stepped forward and grabbed him, and said with deep meaning, "Great Minister, come and don't be rude, you have come to the Shendu, and I will definitely go to some cities, but if you want to meet me again, you must carefully understand the way of the monarch and the minister."

The four eyes were facing each other, the fire was splashing, but there was a trace of embarrassment in the bottom of the eyes.
