On the fourteenth day of the first month of the first year of the sacred calendar, the day before the Lantern Festival.

Quan Ce and his entourage set off from Lishan in the early morning, traveled for most of the day, and arrived at Lishan in the evening.

Before entering the palace, as before, he dispersed a large number of government soldiers and official messengers, leaving only the close guards of the Jedi and astrologers, and found a post house to rest.

Xu Hui watched from the side, a little surprised, her curiosity about this Quan Xiangye became more and more intense, she couldn't bear it at the moment, and asked, "Quan Xiangye, Your Majesty has ordered, you must meet as soon as possible, you have left for ninety miles, why stop at the door?" ”

Quan Ce picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, moisturized his lips, and smiled.

"Xu Niangzi didn't know, Your Majesty gave me the prince's chariot, with a strong line, the school parade fireworks army, all in the deep forest in the mountains, front and back, quite inconvenient, I didn't carry, go to see Your Majesty, without a guard of honor, it is inevitable to be disrespectful, therefore, rest here and wait for the guard of honor to come from Chang'an City"

"I see, Prime Minister Quan has a heart" Xu Hui's cute little face flashed a hint of surprise, but the banter in her eyes was not concealed at all.

She didn't believe Kwon's explanation.

In fact, in her opinion, Quan Ce's tirade to explain to her is a flaw in itself, he abides by the rules and has a strong sense of proportion, which is also the reason why he was unanimously recognized by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but his style of action is no longer the time when he was trembling and cautious.

Quan Ce's explanation is full of loopholes, so she also believes it casually with color.

"Hehehe" Quan Ce couldn't help laughing, two foxes, big and small, pretending to be rookies pecking each other, quite interesting.

Xu Hui rolled her eyelids, "Prime Minister Quan's words, if His Majesty asks, I will convey it as it is, I don't know what you think, whether Your Majesty believes it or not?" ”

Quan Ce put away his smile and said slowly, "You convey it as it is, that's right."

There is a kind of person who does not analyze the situation from a rational point of view, but tastes every move from an emotional point of view.

That's a lover.

Coincidentally, Empress Wu is in front of Quan Ce, that's it, she is not only love, but also a woman.

A woman who is fully ripe is easy and unemotional, but once she moves, she is like a raging fire, which cannot be extinguished, and she especially cherishes men.

After listening to Quan Ce's half-truths, she was afraid that she would only be happy, and she would not think of exhausting the inside story.

"Really? Won't Xiangye consider changing his words? Xu Hui was puzzled when she heard it, and in her mind, Quan Ce's explanation would bring her a new errand and be in trouble.

Quan Ce couldn't help but laugh again, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.

Xu Hui was unmoved, she didn't care about Quan Ce's opinion, she just wanted to be lighter and less involved with some people, especially if Quan Ce was more dangerous and couldn't be drawn.

"If Xu Niangzi thinks that my answer is inappropriate, you might as well make a round statement for me in front of Your Majesty, and I will accept it all."

Xu Hui listened, frowned, and lied to him, it seemed that there was some trouble, the two evils are right, it is better to choose the third way, and shook the tender white little hand, "That's it, I haven't asked, Your Majesty asked, I said I don't know, or the right minister to deal with it himself, I should not participate"

Quan Ce's lips curled slightly, nodded indifferently, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Xu Hui scratched her cheeks, looked bitter and hateful, stared straight at him for a while, stood up, and walked to the side.

This power minister, all the body is an organ, he fell into the trap without paying attention, he couldn't get up, and he was full of attention from the government and the opposition, and His Majesty also paid close attention, so it was better to stay away from him.

Not long after, the prince's guard of honor came to the post house.

Quan Ce stepped on the rosewood pedals and slowly stepped onto the troika, and the curtain fell, isolating Xu Hui's indignant figure.

The prince's guard of honor is Quan Ce's, and it has nothing to do with her, and Quan Ce did not invite her to ride, she can only follow and ride a horse.

"Hehe" Quan Ce sat down in the car, muttered for a moment, shook his head and smiled.

Empress Wu used this half-innocent and half-cunning girl to be the commander of the plum blossom internal guard, perhaps, it's not that she can't think of it, but it's a good idea.

Her temperament and appearance can't deter anyone, but no one can win her over, if she is blinded by her appearance and despises her, I'm afraid she will have to pay a big price.

At hand, in the hidden place under the seat, there was a black wooden box, and Quan Ce uncovered him, and there was a notebook lying inside.

Quan Ce slowly looked through it, Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and Chang'an, the western capital, the officialdom and the market, both openly and secretly, all the movements were in it.

This is the real convention, before meeting the Empress Wu, he must be fully prepared and have a good idea in order to calmly deal with the Empress Wu's side.

Overall, there's nothing new.

The Tibetan mission climbed over the wall and submitted letters to the queen of the Japanese state, including the people around Mrs. Zhao Xiang to go to Shendu, all of which were arranged by him, in order to keep Liu Youqiu in Chang'an, and also muddy the water.

Since Quan Zhu was wary of Zhao Xiang, then, playing a small trick to get him involved with King Liang and King Xiang of Shendu, and losing the trust of the Empress Wu was just a gesture.

Wu Yanji and Li Chongjun have a very close relationship, and he also knows that Wu Yanji is willing to make a poison pill to help Li Chongjun swell, and Quan Ce is happy to see it.

As for Di Renjie's fanfare, changing his banner, purging and integrating neutral forces in the Shendu, and making his position closer to himself, he had already seen it in Wu Chongmin's secret letter.

The only thing that is new is the generosity of Tianguan Shangshu and Dingwang Wuyouji, who exiled all those who refused to submit to the general election at the beginning of the year, and at the same time sent a large number of officials to the center as officials, mainly new jinshi who went to the local government to serve as academic and political officials during the Shengong years.

"Hehe" Quan Ce shook his head and smiled, disapproving, these gods and scholars have become Wu Youji's heart disease, and it would be better to resolve it earlier.

In front of the Empress Wu, he will try his best to make this big deal a reality.

In addition, there is an undercurrent of strife, which is within his faction.

Yang Zaisi presented the official to the official, Doulu Qinwang was deposed and returned to his hometown, and the prime minister of the political hall has gone to two out of seven, and there are vacancies left.

Prime Minister Wei Juyuan has been quite active recently, but it is not to help anyone to worship the prime minister, but to do everything possible to block it from all sides, and resolutely put an end to all possibilities for the local official Shangshu Wang Tongjiao to go further.

These two people are the humerus hands of Princess Anle Li Bao'er.

By Li Bao'er's side, because of the dangers and strong enemies, he can also press each other's suspicions and work together to the outside world.

When he arrived at Quan Ce's hands, there were no natural enemies in the four places, so he fought in the nest, and in the past, he fought for favors, but Quan Ce ignored it, but now, together with the things of the room, have been done.

"It's okay to make a fuss" Quan Ce put down the notebook, his face was mysterious.

Suspicion always gives birth to dark ghosts, ironclad, backwater, it is always difficult for people to feel at ease, their identity is enough, and if they make a fuss, they can dispel some outsiders' fear of the behemoth of Quan Ce.

"Bang la la"

There was a piece of paper in the notebook, fluttering and falling.

There is very little handwriting on it.

Kwon Ce's pupils widened suddenly.

"Knock ......" There was a loud bang in the carriage.

The Jedi and others outside the carriage were startled, and they moved quickly and swarmed to protect the carriage.
