Xue Shao's posthumous affairs were handled in the Taiping Princess's Mansion, whether he was guilty or not, his title of concubine was not deprived, and the eunuch officials of the palace introspection and the Ministry of Rites came forward to handle the funeral affairs in an orderly manner.

There are many visitors, and there is a layer of avoidance after all, and most of them come and go.

When Quan Ce came, the condolence team had already formed a pattern, and the flowing water generally went left in and right out, and the voices of people were boiling, but it was difficult to hide the coldness.

Although there are many Li royal families, Princess Taiping's siblings are only Li Xian, the king of Luling, and Li Dan, Ruizong, who gave birth to children late, Li Xian's eldest son Li Chongrun is 5 years old, Li Dan's eldest son Li Chengqi is a little older, and he is only 9 years old, the famous Tang Ming Emperor is Li Dan's third son, only 3 years old at this time, one year younger than Quan Zhu, and the other half-brothers are far away from Jingshi, and Quan Ce is the first to come to the door of the junior branch.

The deacon of the princess's mansion guided Quan Ce to the mourning hall, and some of the guests recognized that this was the lucky one of the thunder incidents, and there were many discussions, and Quan Ce sacrificed according to the ceremony, Xue Shao's eldest son Xue Chongyin was seven years old, and the second son Xue Chongjian was only two years old.

Xue Chongyin has a quiet temperament, he is cold and cold to Quan Ce's cousin, Xue Chongjian is like a powder, innocent, and excited with a small mouth in the arms of the nurse, Quan Ce reached over and took him and hugged him, he was not noisy, Quan Ce pinched his face, he laughed crisply, Quan Ce hurriedly handed him back, the nature of a child, crying and laughing, but it is not good to laugh like this in the mourning hall.

After mourning in front of the spirit for about half an hour, the time was about the same, Quan Ce borrowed a quiet room, changed into a green robe embroidered with bullfighting, endured the discomfort, and pasted a wedge-shaped flower on his forehead, which was the official dress code, and it was clearly aimed at the useless use of the middle.

Pegasus went to the Qianniu Wei Ya Office, and the official handled the seal letter all the way, and the clerk trotted all the way, complimenting him repeatedly, "The official position of the general, but we are the only one in the Qianniu Wei Yamen"

"Youlao everyone" Quan Ce smiled and gave his hand one by one, his appointment of the left Qianniu Wei Yu Lin Lang general is a bit paradoxical, according to the system, the sixteen guards of the South Ya only have the left and right Wei Qin Xun Yi Mansion has Yu Lin Lang General, he was transferred from the Left Wei Mansion, entered the Qianniu Wei, and became the Yu Lin Lang general, unclear, very confused.

His boss is Zhao Liu, the middle-aged handsome guy who is not smiling, took out the book and assigned him a position, "The queen of heaven has ordered you to be the general of Yulin Lang, and you will be responsible for the matter of driving the guard, and the book has 6 people, 6 people around the body, and 50 people, which belong to you."

62 soldiers? Quan Ce was slightly stunned and bowed his head to accept the order.

The corners of Zhao Liu's mouth curled slightly, and he explained to him, "Qianniuwei does not lead the government soldiers, the guards are full of 124 people, you receive one, I lead one, and they are on duty in shifts, and there are still more than 500 people in the rest of the Luan Guard of Honor, although they also belong to Qianniuwei, it has nothing to do with you and me."

Quan Ce had an epiphany, Qianniuwei is just a shell, hanging the Qianniuwei brand, what kind of general is a general, it is almost the same as a false position, and it is just used to improve the grade.

Zhao Liu said again, "You should note that Qianniuwei is prepared, all of them are the sons of high-ranking officials in the DPRK, don't be reckless and bring disaster to yourself."

Quan Ce bowed down to be taught, "Thank you for the general's mention" to order all the guards under him, and enter the palace on duty.

The design of Daming Palace pays special attention to defense, Danfeng Gate is the south gate, entering the palace north, the first palace wall is horizontally partitioned, leading to the outer court Hanyuan Palace, with a bell tower and drum tower, the east and west courts, the two wings of the Hanyuan Palace are expanded, for the second palace wall, leading to the Xuanzheng Hall of the Middle Dynasty, between the two halls, the Hongwen Hall and other official offices under the Zhongshu Gate, the two wings of the Xuanzheng Palace are the third palace wall, after opening the Zichen Gate, leading to the Zichen Palace, entering the third palace wall, is the inner courtyard of the palace city, the palace pavilion garden temple polo field, all kinds of things, It is the place where the emperor lives and resides. There are two palace walls at the north gate, and the two portals are the heavy Xuanmen and the Xuanwu gate, and there is a ten-zhang wide sandwich city between them, and the four high walls stand up, and the walls are strict.

Entering the Zichen Gate, Quan Ce's men and horses began to disperse, the Inner Servant Province, the Zuozang Library, and the Inner Arsenal were all defended by Qianniu Guard, and when they arrived at the Jinluan Palace, only he was left, and there were a total of thirteen people around Qianniu and Zuo.

The Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace is different from the Jinluan Hall in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is not the main hall, it is one of the dormitories of the Empress Wu, and it is also the place where he summoned the Hanlin Bachelor to deal with daily government affairs, talk about literature, poetry and singing.

They were in place at the entrance of the palace, and the scholars and literati who were waiting to be summoned arrived early to wait for the pass, and the Empress Wu got up from the Chenghuan Palace, and rode to the Jinluan Palace, and everyone knelt on one knee to greet the driver.

The footsteps were chaotic, and Quan Ce clearly felt that a ray of sight fell on him, and he bent his waist lower, and buried his head deeply.

"Raise your head" This was Shangguan Wan'er's voice.

Quan Ce raised his head, and was shocked by a graceful and upright figure, a large figure taller than the attendants around him, with the sun on his head, covering the light, his face was indistinguishable, purple clothes and yellow crowns, full of golden light, his chest was white and dazzling, his eyes were cold, and he was shocked to tremble, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, and the martial queen did not leave, nor did he speak.

"There are some good colors" After looking at it for a while, Empress Wu dropped a comment, her wide sleeves flew, she walked up the stairs, the skirt embroidered with a silver phoenix stretched four or five meters away, and the female officials and maids of her entourage were like clouds, and they were purple and red.

The door of the palace closed suddenly, Quan Ce let out a sigh of relief, his lips were dry, and a layer of white sweat appeared in his palms, it was not his instigation, it was really this woman who was too famous for murder, and she had killed a lot of her own children.

The sound insulation effect of the Jinluan Hall is not very good, and there are laughter and laughter from time to time, although it has nothing to do with the government and politics, Quan Ce does not want to listen more, walks down the nine steps, moves from the front of the door to the bottom of the steps, and finally has a clean ear.

A group of nobles came in from the right silver gate, with a polo stick in their hands, dressed in tight-fitting riding clothes, obviously just played polo on the Polo Court of Hanguang Palace, all of them were above the top, and they acted flamboyantly, so that the palace eunuchs were like house slaves, and they must not be able to get rid of a martial word, but fortunately, they should look at their route, they should leave the palace from the Guangshun Gate, and they would not come to this side.

A series of hurried footsteps, a huge force crashed up from the side, Quan Ce was weak under his feet, unable to support his strength, flew out sideways, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled on the ground several times before he stabilized, and there was pain all over his body, especially his knees, like pins and needles.

"Huh, this is the thunder god praised by my aunt and grandmother?" The boy who hit him, about the same age as him, was wearing a dark riding suit, and looked down at him with a big grin, full of disdain.

"San Lang is rude, he is a thousand cows" A middle-aged man came forward to persuade him and pulled him away.

"A thousand cows? There are a thousand cows like him, and I am not afraid," the young man was dissatisfied, and raised his foot and stepped down, his deerskin boots in the middle of the door.

"The queen of heaven has an order, Xuanzuo Qianniu Wei Yu Lin Lang will enter the service of Quan Ce" The door of the Jinluan Palace opened, and the little eunuch passed the decree, Quan Ce's face had been stepped on several times, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

The middle-aged man of "San Lang" pulled the young man away, Quan Ce got up from the ground, wiped his face, and turned around to receive the order.

"General Quan, San Lang has a hobby of horns, I just heard about the general's name, and he has no malicious intentions, please don't say more" The middle-aged man stopped him, his expression gloomy.

"Don't dare, it's the last general's martial arts that are not proficient" Quan Ce taught the arrogance of the martial arts children, and only had a soft mouth, took out a brocade hand, cleaned his face, and then entered the palace gate.

Shangguan Wan'er disregarded etiquette, greeted herself, and pulled him to the front of the martial queen, "Da Lang come quickly, the queen of heaven wants to appreciate your painting skills, the kind you painted for Erlang the day before yesterday, paint me a picture"

Quan Ce was slightly surprised, looked around and left, it was not only Shangguan Wan'er who was rude, whether it was a white-bodied literati or a bachelor of Hanlin, they each drank and sang harmony, made loud noises, splashed ink, and stepped forward to invite the queen of heaven to appreciate the fine works, and they were not sticky.

Quan Ce glanced up, lying on his side after the martial arts, supporting the forehead with his right hand, holding a roll of paper in his left hand, one leg propped up, one leg stretched flat, freehand and domineering, his eyes turned, and he looked at the sharp gaze of the martial queen, and quickly lowered his head to avoid, "The minister is in charge, don't dare to bother to wait for the edict, the minister can paint with his impression"

There are no charcoal strips here, and there is no easel, so it is unrealistic to let Shangguan Wan'er be a model, and it is even more unrealistic to wait for more than half an hour for Empress Wu.

Quan Ce buried his head in his small case, quickly sketched, a water lily in the middle, the root system stretched, involving all living beings below, a ball of fire wrapped into the shape of a lotus platform, the edge of the paper, a Buddha's side face, horizontal eyebrows, the whole painting is coherent, in one go.

Half a pillar of incense, the smear was completed, and he held it above his head, "The work of the minister's graffiti, please see the queen of heaven"

With a light hand in his hand, a touch of purple came into view, and Quan Ce lowered his head.

"What's the name of this painting?" Qing Yue's voice was undoubtedly coercive.

"Buddha Fury Fire Lotus" Quan Ce replied that the skills in a certain game that young people liked, and later developed into tattoos, he caught up with the fashion and drew for a while.

"Dare to ask the little general, why is the Buddha angry?" An old man walked out of the Hanlin Bachelors, and asked coldly, with a fierce momentum.

"Because There Are Demons in the World"

"Do you know any demons?"

"I don't know"

"Isn't it blasphemy that you don't learn and don't know how to dare to hand-draw a floating tug? The next time there is a thunderstorm, will the little general be spared? The old man's face was full of anger and aggressiveness.

Quan Ce was speechless, cold sweat soaked his clothes, and the place where he was injured by rolling just now was poured with sweat, the pain was unbearable, and it was extremely sour.

"Futu is the avenue of the world, I allow you to justify it, if you can't, you have your own sword and axe for you" Empress Wu claimed to have changed, the hall was a solemn, everyone was sitting in danger, respectful.

Quan Ce swallowed his saliva, his forehead was bruised, he didn't know much about ancient literature, and he had only turned a few pages of scriptures, and he knew some oral sayings, and he didn't know if it was a false rumor, and then let people catch the handle, and give his life to him.

The air was calm for a long time, Quan Ce mustered up the courage to raise his face and look at the Empress Wu, and said in his mouth, "King Kong is angry, so he surrenders the four demons, and the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, so the six paths of compassion"

Empress Wu was also looking at him, his vision was very complicated, he couldn't tell clearly, and when he saw the scars, his sharp long eyebrows wrinkled, and he felt a little pity.

Quan Ce's sweat and hair exploded, and his heart was cold.

"It's quite insightful, but I don't know a lot" Empress Wu brushed his sleeves and turned around, and the tone of the lesson softened slightly, "Give a day off, give a royal horse, and retreat"

"Thank Tianhou" Quan Ce quickly withdrew from the temple gate, forgetting even the pain.
