At the beginning of the first year of the holy calendar, Prime Minister Doulu Qinwang and Zong Qinke jointly played a concert, and asked for the implementation of Wang Zhiben's other two recitals on the grounds that Wang Zhiben, the Xia official servant, presided over the promotion of the meritorious soldiers of the leading army and the guard, which had obvious effects and the military was happy.

From the Beisai grassland, half of the elite troops under the command of Tuoba Siyu, the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, and Zhao Hehuan, the general of the Dare to Die Regiment, were transferred, a total of 40,000 people, and they were charged into the Beiya in the name of recruitment.

From the Central Plains, 30,000 soldiers were dispatched to supplement the Andong and Anxi armies, and thousands of meritorious veterans in the two armies were withdrawn, and they were rewarded and supported, so as to strengthen the people's hearts and nourish the spirit of the eagle to fight for martial arts.

Empress Wu issued an edict to consult the people in the prime minister's class and discuss the specific operation.

Quan Ce avoided suspicion and kept silent.

This is not surprising, but the power is powerful, but it has always adhered to the rules and rarely used extra-regular means.

Unexpectedly, the two prime ministers Ouyang Tong and Wei Juyuan, who are in the same vein as him, are only talking in general terms, and even the number of troops and horses transferred from Beisai has been set, called the Northern Army.

But it did not touch on the most sensitive core issue, who will lead the 40,000 soldiers and horses retreating from the center?

The two of them nodded to the water and avoided the key points, which was equivalent to giving up the right to speak to Doulu Qinwang and Zong Qinke.

After all, the seven prime ministers of the political affairs hall, Di Renjie stayed in the Shendu, Yang Zaisi was honored and raised, and there were only five of them in front of the palace.

The lazy Empress Wu, who looked at Quan Ce several times, could not hide her surprise, sat up straight, and said with a little displeasure in her tone, "Zhu Qing is in charge of the government, he is a good life and strategist, and he is conscientious, so absent-minded, big and big, prevaricating and bowing, not the way of human ministers"

"The ministers are guilty, Your Majesty is angry" Quan Ce innocently bowed down to the foreman, and the five prime ministers pleaded guilty together.

In the place where he couldn't see, Quan Ce frowned, Empress Wu's words seemed to be reprimanding them, but in fact, they lightly erased the initiative that Doulu Qinwang and Zong Qinke had so hard to get.

This seems to be helping him?

Quan Ce's mind is complicated, and he can't understand it, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, and the ripe supreme woman in front of her is even more incomprehensible.

"Hmph, this matter will be postponed for discussion......" Empress Wu snorted coldly, stood up, and brushed his sleeves to leave.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a performance, and the minister has a proper candidate, who can be a big responsibility"

Doulu Qinwang and Zong Qinke squeezed their eyebrows for a long time, Doulu Qinwang was there, and without any indication, Zong Qinke had to jump out.

Originally, this was a beautiful affair to please His Majesty, and this ingenious candidate came from Liang Wang Wu Sansi, Zong Qinke firmly grasped this right to protect the car, how could he have thought that it would be like this, and he would have to risk being offended.

Empress Wu stared at Zong Qinke, smiling, "Who do you want to protect?" Zong Jinqing, or Wu Chongxun? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare to abolish the public because of private affairs" Zong Qinke is the last prime minister in the corner, he has not spoken to the Empress Wu alone for a long time, he is nervous, and his tongue is a little knotted, "The minister protects the Zongzheng Temple Qing Zhao Xiang and leads the Northern Army"

Empress Wu was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed, and she slowly repeated the name, "Zhao Xiang......"

Zhao Xiang is the distant cousin-in-law of the Empress Wu, who has never been assertive, and follows the same steps, but the Empress Wu is the first to look forward, and he can be regarded as a loyal and lonely minister.

This candidate scratched the itch of the Empress Wu.

"Quan Ce, do you think Zhao Xiang may be competent?"

Empress Wu's question was very gentle, as if he was asking from the perspective of professional ability, and did not involve a position.

But Quan Ce obviously has no room for denial, and in fact, he doesn't want to deny it.

As long as Xie Yaohuan's plan is implemented, in the eyes of Quan Ce, he is all naked, every word and deed is clear, besides, the middle and lower officers are all Tuoba Siyu and Zhao Hehuan's people, and they are naturally close to him.

What's more, Quan Ce also has a greeting gift to give to the new commander of the Northern Army.

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and Zhao Siqing is the right person"

Empress Wu's eyes slowly swam over him, and she was inexplicably a little unbearable, so she forcibly pressed down.

This is not the emotion that an emperor should have.

"In this way, the matter was decided, and Zongzheng Siqing was transferred to the commander of the Northern Army, and after the Lantern Festival, he went north to patrol the border and transferred troops back to Beijing."

"To Liang Wang Wu three thoughts to make up for Zongzheng Siqing"

Empress Wu made a decision, and by the way, he gave Wu Sansi a sweet date.

It was a reward for his knowledge.

The collegial meeting was over, and the prime ministers dispersed one after another.

Empress Wu felt a wave of tiredness from the inside out, and twisted the back of her neck.

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and reached out to knead her.

"Wan'er, is there anything wrong with my actions today?" The voice of the martial queen was like a dream.

Shangguan Wan'er paused in her hand, and her heart couldn't help jumping.

She worked as an errand by the side of Empress Wu, and she had experienced tens of millions of inquiries, all kinds of things, and everything, but she asked herself if she acted properly, and she was very unconfident in her words, and it was still unprecedented.

"Giggles, Your Majesty is embarrassed for Wan'er, your actions have your own laws, how can Wan'er put her beak?" Shangguan Wan'er laughed crisply, and did not answer.

"I let you say it, you just say it, don't talk about it" Empress Wu's face darkened, and her tone was quite irritable.

"Yes, the concubine has transgressed" Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile, "From the perspective of the concubine, Your Majesty's finger painting is clear, the authority is great, the prime ministers are ordered to be cautious, it is the monarch and the minister who get along, Your Majesty acts, there is a deep meaning in every inch, there is no trace, and the military power is recovered, which can be called the British and tomorrow, and it is more appropriate."

Empress Wu's frowning eyebrows did not relax, and she snorted lightly, "Look, Quan Ce's performance is normal?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's hand rubbing was as usual, but her complexion changed drastically, her breathing became short, and her mind was racing, and the words and deeds of Quan Ce's Fang Cai were replayed in her mind.

They are all faint, desireless, and their words are extremely refined, refusing to say more than half a word.

"The concubine looks, not only is the right Xiangye different, but Ouyang Xiangye and Wei Xiangye are not quite right"

Shangguan Wan'er felt that Empress Wu was a little weird at this time, and she didn't dare to throw stones at Quan Ce easily, so she simply threw Ouyang Tong and Wei Juyuan out to cushion her back, "Your Majesty, this matter was initiated by Wang Zhiben's servant, Quan Xiangye avoided suspicion, and his intention was not good, and there was still an explanation for the lack of interest, Ouyang Xiangye and Wei Xiangye were completely out of state, and their performance was different from usual."

Although he said that he had bad intentions, he was trying to choose the right policy.

She took a risk, after all, according to her position and disguise, she should take the opportunity to fall into the well and attack the power strategy.

Fortunately, Empress Wu's mind was chaotic and she didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Happiness is good, interest is lacking" Empress Wu repeated the two words of Shangguan Wan'er to modify the power policy.

"Hmph...... Are you still too boring and boring? Empress Wu whispered two sentences, stretched out her green jade fingers, put them in her mouth, bit her nails, thought for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Come to someone, pass on the decree, let Quan Ce go to Shouyang Mountain, review the fireworks army, copy the situation, and draw a report to report"
