Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the long summer gate of the southern city, the majestic horn sounded, the guard of honor was overwhelming, the prince Li Xian led the courtiers to stay behind, went out of the city for thirty miles, and welcomed the return of the Empress Wu.

According to the original practice, the foreign feudal lords should start to return one after another, but this year it was very unusual, not a single foreign feudal asked to go, even the Wa king of the kingdom of Kuno Sanliang, the king of Silla Kim Rihong and other lords of the country, all stayed, accompanied Li Xian out of the city, and lined up on the side of the road to meet the empress.

"Son-in-law Li Xian, with the ministers of the Shendu and the foreign vassal missions, welcome the return of the mother to the court" Li Xian lifted his robe and knelt down in the dust.

After more than a month of imprisonment, he was not in high spirits, but he was relieved, and the situation in front of him was far from something he could control.

Not only are the old forces such as Wu Sansi, Quan Ce and Princess Taiping and other factions intertwined, but the brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, who returned from Dengfeng halfway, are not fuel-efficient lamps.

At present, there is a tricky matter, Xia Guan's servant is vacant, all factions are surging, intrigues, Zhang Yizhi pushed the former prime minister Li Qiao out, intending to support him to make a comeback, Wu Sansi is the veteran Wang Xiaojie, as Xia Guanshangshu, the hardcore Yuan Shuji of Xiangwang Li Dan intends to promote Lang Guan in the Xia Guanyamen, and the foundation of the business.

Quan Ce and Princess Taiping have little interest in this position, they are strong in the Northern Ya Army, in the South Ya, there are also the right Yu Xuan Wei, the left and right leading military guards and other spheres of influence, unintentionally too strong, symbolically put forward a personal election to join in the fun, proposed by the right Yu Lin Wei General Wu Bingde to move to Xia Guan Shilang, this candidate is the Wu clan of the Yuan Branch, and the right policy to give him the battle exploits to recover Tuyuhun, even if there is no civilian resume, but it is really not negligible.

"Woo ......" Li Xian let out a long breath of turbidity, and a touch of self-deprecation lifted on his lips.

"All the secretaries, please get up" Empress Wu stepped out of the chariot, looked at the two lines of queues, and smiled softly, "The crown prince and all Aiqing stayed in the Shendu, the government affairs are smooth, the people's livelihood is happy, and it is very hard."

"Erchen doesn't dare"

"The ministers don't dare"

The crowd that had just stood up bowed down again.

Empress Wu called up again, towards the queue of the outer domains, "The Heavenly Dynasty Haiyan River is clear, the foreign domains cooperate a lot, I am going east and returning, I am not tolerant of complicated dramas, all the foreign domains, if there are suggestions, or discussions, you can report to the Honglu Temple, or face to face in Xin'an County"

"Thank you, Your Majesty" led by Zanra Sono, and the foreign vassals bowed together.

Empress Wu Luan drove around, went straight to the Changxia Gate, and returned to the Taichu Palace.

Back in the Shendu, Quan Ce and the others have completed their responsibilities, but he has not left the guard of honor, Yun Xi and others have already sent him the news, the outer domain is full of enthusiasm for him, in this case, it must not be a good thing to be held by the stars of the outer domain.

simply cover up with an escort and talk about it after entering the city.

He had a good calculation, but unfortunately he was not an ordinary royal prince, but more of the palace maids were attentive and reported his deeds to Shangguan Wan'er.

Empress Wu learned that he was summoned to come forward and inquire about the end, and Quan Ce was quite embarrassed, but fortunately, he was in a hurry, "Your Majesty, according to your will, the minister's own family should take care of the business of the Mosi Department, and ask for a leave of absence for ten years to make some preparations."

Empress Wu sneered and glared at him, "This is fake, I can give it to you, but I can't slack off on the errand at hand, and when I encounter sensitive things, I want to hide from it, where is the demeanor of a heavy minister?" ”

If he really marches forward bravely, takes care of everything, lets the power blaze unleashed, and painstakingly manages the loyal and reliable image, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep it.

"Go, in a few days, take Yunxi and Weiheng, go to the palace to say goodbye, the last time I saw him, it was only three days, and he hasn't grown yet, so he can't see his appearance, his parents are outstanding, and he is also a handsome child" Empress Wu slowed down, said a few common words, and waved his hand to let him go.

When I returned to the mansion, I first went to meet Princess Yiyang and Quan Yi, and Princess Yiyang had to pull him to her side and ask for warmth.

The warmth in Quan Ce's heart just rose, and with a child's cry, it dissipated without a trace, and the two elders left in a hurry, throwing him aside and ignoring him, especially Quan Yi, with his big sleeves fluttering, walking like flying, as if he had a chivalrous demeanor.

Quan Ce followed and took a look, weighing the powder, meaty, and having the demeanor of a big fat boy.

Princess Yiyang held him in her arms, turned upside down, felt the pressure on her arm, smiled into a thin slit in her eyes, and loved him in every way, seeing that he raised his small fist and sent it to his mouth, he hurriedly took it out gently, weighed it, thought that his grandmother was playing with him, laughed loudly, and put the other hand into his mouth, Princess Yiyang took it out for him again, he smiled even more happily, his left hand and right hand took turns to stuff his mouth, and he refused to settle at all, and smiled with a bad face.

Quan Yi was beside him, looking at it without blinking, very greedy.

There was a warm feeling in Quan Ce's hands, but it was Yun Xi, the two looked at each other, their fingers interlocked, and they chatted about comfort.

"Yuanguang just cried, why did you cry?" Quan Ce asked out loud, and immediately received a roll of the eyes from his mother, Princess Yiyang.

"Poof" Yun Xi laughed out loud, attached to his ear, exhaled like Landau, "Yuanguang is crying, if you are not hungry, you are calling your grandmother"

"Does he know people?" Quan Ce looked at the weighing, as if he had made enough trouble, nested in his grandmother's arms, a small group, very attached.

"What did you say? Yuanguang is much smarter than when you were young," Quan Yi immediately came out to support his grandson.

Quan Ce scratched his head, seeing that Yun Xi was just smiling, and his mother was also slanting at herself, obviously this was a place to weigh, and retreated neatly, "Mother, father, the child will go to bathe first, and then accompany the second elder to eat later."

"Go, go, Yunxi too, serve your husband" Princess Yiyang waved her hand casually, teasing her grandson.

Yun Xi's cheeks rose red, she bit her lower lip and twisted her waist, "Mother-in-law, these things, you should call Fu Hui to go, and my daughter-in-law will not go."

Fleur happened to come in at this time, and when she heard the words, she blushed and lowered her head, but she didn't dare to speak.

Quan Ce smiled, threw a flying eye to Yun Xi, and led Fu Hui to the bathroom.

After tossing in the bathroom for most of the hour, Quan Ce came out refreshed, holding the spring-loving hibiscus with one hand.

"Hua slave, go and call Quan Li, Quan Xiang come over"

"Quan Xiang, when I released the news, I said that the foreign feudal lords and merchants donated gold, and many of them were not in good condition, and they were shoddy, and they could not be stored for generations, I was very angry, and I decided to spend all this batch of gold and silver on them, if anyone did not obey, it was someone who did it."

"Quan Li, go to the Sifang Pavilion immediately, contact all the foreign vassals, order all the merchants in the mansion, contact the merchants from all over the country, and make purchase contracts with them, all settled in gold and silver, the amount and scale, obey the instructions of the lady, you just organize the caravan to transfer to the Silent Division"

Quan Xiang and Quan Li were overjoyed, the master came back is different, there is a backbone, bow together, "Yes, master"

When the two of them walked away, the flower slave leaned forward and pursed his lips unconvinced, "Master, spreading news is such a thing, it is clearly more secure for the wingless bird, and it will not expose the horse's feet."

Quan Ce laughed, "How can such a thing be effective if it is not exposed?" ”
