Taichu Palace, Hall of Eternal Life.

Quan Ce bowed down and bowed for a long time, but the Empress Wu did not let him get up.

Zhang Changzong, who was sitting behind the side of the martial arts, flashed a trace of uneasiness on his face, he entered the palace and served the martial queen for such a long time, he opened up a precedent, and somewhat figured out the temperament of the martial queen, if she really annoyed anyone, she should be silent, the bright and dark blows are impenetrable, and she will never give a chance to breathe.

Thinking of if he didn't give the power of the eye medicine, such as spoiling and spoiling, slacking off official duties, secretly colluding with foreign vassals, etc., although not explicit, but a lot of seriousness, Zhang Changzong was not worried about the failure of the calculation of power and strategy, once or twice did not work, and there were ten times eight times, worried that the Empress Wu would be suspicious of him and endanger his position in the palace.

Zhang Changzong's eyes flew, and he glanced at Quan Ce's back, which was as stable as steel, and he didn't see any fatigue at all, and he was even more afraid in his heart.

"Get up, raise your head, let me see you merry and talented, you can make my gods into a mess, you can also toss" Empress Wu's voice was cold, and he walked straight to him, Quan Ce straightened his waist, and bent down again when he saw this, he was a head taller than Empress Wu, if he didn't bend down, Empress Wu would look up to him.

"Stand up straight" Empress Wu didn't appreciate it and scolded.

When Quan Ce heard this, he straightened his chest and pulled his back, but it was like a zhi, like an orchid, a jade tree in the wind, and a handsome face, which was very dazzling.

Wu Hou showed appreciation, a shallow smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and reached out to dust off his clothes, "Tell me, you can give poems before you leave in Chang'an, but in the Shendu, you would rather be embarrassed than leave a word, what is the reason?" ”

Quan Ce was slightly stunned, he thought that the Empress Wu would ask about it, probably because he was suspicious that he would go out with Yang Izhi's micro-clothes, but unexpectedly, what the Empress Wu paid attention to was his differential treatment of Chang'an and Shendu, and he didn't think much about it, and blurted out in response, "Your Majesty, it happened suddenly, and there were many singers in the music room quickly, and I couldn't help but say that it was pushing, and there were post-Turkic nobles around the minister, even if I wanted to exchange poetry for freedom, I couldn't."

"Hehe" Empress Wu smiled softly, put it away, and said with a tiger face, "Take your fiancée to go to the hook fence, such a ridiculous thing, you have to do it"

Quan Ce bowed, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but he couldn't defend himself.

Empress Wu laughed loudly, "That's it, let's get down to business"

"Yes, Your Majesty" Quan Ce's expression was full, "The Great Minister of Tibet has been entangled many times in Qinling, and he has asked to welcome back the Great Wizard of the Bon Sect."

"Many entanglements?" Empress Wu flicked the sleeves of her robe, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, sat down on her knees, twisted her neck, Zhang Changzong immediately stepped forward on his knees, stretched out his slender hands, and gently rubbed for her, Empress Wu felt quite comfortable, slightly closed his eyes, with a slight sense of chaos on his face, but the coherence in his mouth was clear, "On Qinling, he has always regarded Bon as a big trouble, and the great wizard is a thorn in his side. ”

Quan Ce didn't squint, frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the domestic situation in Tibet should change, on the Qinling has the upper hand, and even the victory is secure, the Bon forces have either collapsed or have dissipated, at this time, bring the great wizard back, you can be a puppet, and hold the remnants of Bon in your hands."

Empress Wu closed her eyes and had not spoken for a long time, Shangguan Wan'er observed the words and looks, and interjected at the right time, "Since the Bon religion is no longer enough to mention, why don't you go all out to exterminate the Bon religion in one go, but spend so much more hands and feet to welcome the great wizard back?" ”

"Tubo Zanpu Chidusong has been on the throne for more than ten years, more than thirty years old, when it is difficult to tolerate the Qinling" Quan Ce used the Spring and Autumn Period, on the four Qinling brothers, including the Zanpo who had broken the halberd in the hands of the Quan Ce, they all held heavy power, controlled the Tubo civil and military politics, Chidu Song made a rubber stamp for ten years, the strength is growing, there is a righteous name, and the power of the concubine wife tribe, and the contradiction between the two Qinling is irreconcilable, once the common enemy of the two Bon is destroyed, the confrontation between each other cannot be avoided, and the Qinling tries to welcome the great wizard back to Luo, Probably thinking of leaving Bon as a buffer.

"What does the champion Hou mean, it seems that he doesn't want to fulfill the Qinling?" Shangguan Wan'er followed closely and asked, very questioning.

Quan Ce shook his head slowly, "Shangguan Zhao is tolerant, according to the minister's opinion, he should order the great wizard to return, however, after all, he once preached in the Celestial Empire, and the disciples under his seat have not a few goods and materials, and the Chidu Song Zanpu is orthodox on the plateau, even if the Bon religion wants to change its course and surrender to the world, it should be to surrender to the Cheng Zanpu."

"The champion Hou is worthy of the iron-blooded general, on Qinling sent so many valuable materials to you, but only in exchange for your iron heart, when you are a stab in the chest, but it is a pearl cast into the dark" Shangguan Wan'er sneered, her eyes flashed, a little naughty, a little resentful.

Quan Ce didn't defend either, his gentle gaze slowly brushed along the curve of Shangguan Wan'er's body, which made her tremble and embarrassed for a while, "On the Qinling is powerful, and with the great wizard, you can barely fight with the Qinling, the longer the internal friction in Tubo, the more beneficial it is to my Great Zhou, and the weakness of Tubo is the blessing of the Heavenly Empire."

"Hmph, it's naked, but I don't know, the champion Hou manipulates the ghosts, where is the heavenly court's benevolence and righteousness?" Shangguan Wan'er was aggressive.

Quan Ce just laughed, silent, hateful appearance, hated Shangguan Wan'er's teeth.

"Hehe" Empress Wu chuckled, waved her hand and ordered Zhang Changzong to retreat, "That's it, it's up to you to toss, in the future, these things can be done by yourself, and you will report to me afterwards."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Quan Ce respectfully received the order, but he didn't take it seriously, the emperor gave you the right to cut first and then play, that is to show grace, if you really use it, it is your own death, especially the Empress Wu, the female emperor is unpredictable, a hundred turns and a thousand times, three changes a day, and it is not to be taken lightly.

Empress Wu was very satisfied, and said, "The scholars and talents of the gods gather, Taiping and Qianjin often hold banquets to entertain, there are often poems and masterpieces flowing out, poems together, you can be said to be the first person in the royal family, have leisure, walk around more, publicize the royal demeanor, suppress their arrogance, and let them know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the foreign vassals are returning intensively during this period of time, and the ministers are lacking in skills" The power policy is stable and steady, and there is no intention to compete with the lifters.

"You, you, people are not reckless young men, you look like an old man who is about to die, and he is also rigid and boring, and he is in vain because the ladies of the gods are chasing you" Empress Wu's eyebrows rose, shaking his head and mocking, "That is the case, I want to put a burden on you, before the tribute, you set up a banquet on behalf of me in the Guozi Prison, and meet with the examiners in batches, regardless of the classics, only say poetry, and come out up and down, for me to see, so as not to have a skill, lost in the wilderness"

"Your Majesty, the minister is young, and he can handle general affairs, but he doesn't have the ability to understand people's eloquence......" Quan Ce's heart moved slightly, his face was not obvious, he swallowed his saliva, and tentatively excused himself.

"Don't say much, I can't see your unproductive appearance, retreat" Empress Wu didn't bother to listen to what he said, and went straight to catch up.

Quan Ce retreated.

Zhang Changzong's eyes rolled, and he said cautiously, "Your Majesty loves the heart of Quan Langjun, but Zhao Sun and Moon, but he is young, why not send an assistant to help him, so as not to fall into the prestige of the royal family."

Empress Wu stood up, facing the cold of the spring, opened her arms, faint and cool, people avoided it, but Empress Wu felt refreshed, "Who do you think can help him?" ”

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Zhaorong is the only one who knows the world, and he is a person around His Majesty, if he participates in the banquet of the Guozijian, he will be able to collect the hearts of scholars on behalf of His Majesty" Zhang Changzong pressed the excitement in his heart, and carefully said every word.

"Hehe" Empress Wu chuckled, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, tapped the railing along the white marble corridor, overlooked the great rivers and mountains in the distance, and was proud, "It's okay, let them see the literary talents of their daughter's family"

Zhang Changzong was happy with the color, raised his eyebrows, met Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, and was satisfied with his own work, not only married Shangguan Wan'er, but also stumbled Quan Ce, killing two birds with one stone.

Shangguan Wan'er made a smile, and the deer in her heart collided and throbbed.
