Chapter 34: The Scorching Sun (Part II)
The work of the living room is extremely boring, follow the queen of heaven, record words and deeds, sometimes only a few numbers for half a day, sometimes a thousand words to write a thousand words, Quan Ce quickly grasped the core essence of this work, is a tool similar to the combination of tape recorder and camera, without any fresh function, the emphasis is on weakening the existence, silent, find a most inconspicuous corner to sit, there is something to write, nothing to close your eyes and recuperate, not to see more and move a little.
“…… On the 26th day of the lunar month, after the imperial Penglai Palace, Zhou Xing, the autumn official waiter, entered the meeting, talking about the kings entering the court, the princes of each family gathered to Longmen Station, and did not dare to enter Beijing without an edict, impeached Gaozong's second concubine Zewang Li Shangjin, Xu Wang Li Sujie had a conspiracy against the situation, please order the division to arrest and deal with it, look around, and make the living lang answer correctly......"
Quan Ce was wary in his heart, and in response to his uncle Li Sujie's secret arrow, he said that this was coming, and he wrote down in silence, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his face was expressionless.
"My living room, who can only write, can't speak?" The joking voice of the Empress Wu came, Quan Ce had stayed by her side for a long time, and knew more about this noble woman, erudite and intelligent, and quite interesting, of course, provided that she was not angered.
Quan Ce came to his senses at this time, and the living room called himself, leaving the table and prostrating, "After returning to the heavens, the duty of the ministers lies, and they dare not speak falsely about the government."
"I want you to say" Empress Wu's voice was soft, but unquestionable.
"The minister tasted it, Zheng Bo forbeared, and restrained Duan Yuyan, so he had to calmly clean up people's hearts" Quan Ce said vaguely, refusing to say more.
Empress Wu sneered, "The handwriting is not very good, but the sourness of the literati is contaminated a lot" Gently tilted his head, glanced behind him, Shangguan Wan'er bent his knees and blessed the gift, "The slave maid thinks that the fame of the Queen of Heaven is more important than Mount Tai, especially at this time, Enwei and Shi are the best policy, form kindness, punish rebellion, and can deter Xiaoxiao, and do not hurt the heart of loyalty and filial piety"
Empress Wu groaned slightly, stretched out her hand, pinched Quan Ce's chin, and forced her to look at her, "Su Jie is your uncle, if he has any traces, what should I do?" ”
"The minister is willing to punish him with his own hands" Quan Ce tried to lower his eyelids and remain obedient.
"Good" Empress Wu shook her hands and brushed her sleeves, and ordered the Chunguan Yamen to snub the kings, without reception, Zhou Xing and Hou Sizhi closely monitored the Longmen Station and the surrounding area, not to act rashly, and to make sure that everyone had stolen goods, "Sujie life and death, Feier and others can intervene, if they have a little conscience, Quan Ce will welcome me personally, if they have no heart and liver, and take their own death, they will also be executed by Quan Ce"
Zhou Xing was not satisfied with this, as a cool official, he was good at reversing black and white torture to extract confessions, and the monitoring was much weaker, and it would only be cheaper Hou Sizhi, he hesitated on the ground for a long time, thinking about making up for some and coming back, "The queen of heaven, the former Zuo Wei Xunfu Lang will absconded Liu Tong, and the minister is willing to serve and arrest"
"No need, Laiqing is carefully checking his relatives and friends, and it is expected that there will be results soon, so step down"
Zhou Xing opened his mouth, didn't have the courage to say more, and "the minister retreated" and withdrew from the hall with small steps.
At sunset, the power was on duty, Shangguan Wan'er sent him out of the palace, the two were speechless all the way, parting, Shangguan Wan'er asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Quan Ce smiled strongly, "I'm afraid or not, it's there, thanks to the help of the edict today, if Quan Ce has a coming day, it will be rewarded"
He hit another seven-wound punch, a plan to delay the army, although Li Sujie was temporarily safe, but he also let himself be involved in the turmoil, if Li Sujie really had a handle to be caught, would he really kill his uncle? Even if he kills him, will Empress Wu still believe him? After losing the trust of the martial arts, will Zhou Xing and the others spare him?
It's a matter of life and death.
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were misty, and she stood sideways, "I just took advantage of the situation, I didn't mean to help you, and I couldn't help you, you could have ignored so much"
Quan Ce's smiling face couldn't hold back, he only felt sad and miserable, reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, hugged his fists and bowed, "Waiting for the edict, Quan Ce was born with this fate, and he should be carried, and he can't escape after all."
Shangguan Wan'er sighed, she was used to seeing life and death, and she didn't have much sadness.
Quan Ce's mood has been calm, life and death are downplayed, he smiled on his face, and whispered, "Born in the yang world, there is an end, and it doesn't matter if you die and return to the underworld, the yang and the underworld are similar, just drift in a foreign land"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at his back leisurely away, counting Nian Geng, she is 7 years older than Quan Ce, but she always feels that he has a mellow breath on his body, and he casually teases the words, all of which are enlightened and elegant, like a weird legendary script, the more I want to see it, the more I can't understand it.
Quan Ce stepped on the horse, believed in the reins, and had not yet returned to the mansion, and bumped into Quan Zhong head-on, looking anxious, "Da Lang, Wang Jialang Jun fell off his horse, and his injury is not good, you can go and take a look."
Wang Jialangjun, Wang Hui? Quan Ce was shocked, turned his horse's head, trotted up, and rushed to Princess Gao'an's mansion.
Aunt Princess Gao'an, a fellow mother of Princess Yiyang, suffered in the palace together, and had a very good relationship, seeing Quan Ce coming, she came out in a panic, hugged Quan Ce and shed tears, it was nothing more than Quan Ce had no conscience, and he didn't come to visit the house for a long time, and he moved far away to Luoyang, and he fought again, and the sword had no eyes, which was very annoying.
Princess Gao'an is three years younger than Princess Yiyang, nearly forty years old, she looks much younger than Princess Yiyang, more like a young woman with a letter of flowers, Quan Ce was held in her arms, full of discomfort, listening to her chatter, but relieved, aunt is still in the mood to scold, obviously cousin Wang Hui's injury is not serious, "Aunt, the child heard that his cousin was injured and wanted to visit him"
"Hmph, if your cousin is not injured, I'm afraid my son won't come to the door" Princess Gao'an poked his finger in disgust, took his hand and entered the inner house, "Your cousin is also unconscious, sprained his leg and foot, the imperial doctor said that there is no big deal, I want to go to the eastern capital for medical treatment, your uncle also wants to go with me, the New Year's Day, the house is uninhabitable, my son is alone in Beijing, and he will move to his aunt tomorrow, and it will save your mother from worrying, can you write it down?" ”
Quan Ce hurriedly obeyed his fate, his aunt's temperament was polarized with his mother, his mother was the eldest sister, and she had something to hide in her heart, which was quite cold, but her aunt was tight, like a chatterbox, and the two sisters complemented each other.
"Cousin, how are the injuries? Why did you fall off your horse? Wang Hui was lying on the bed, gauze wrapped around his legs, and Quan Ce inquired about the reason.
"Da Lang is here, it's okay, he missed his attention for a while, and he couldn't sit firmly" Wang Hui sat up straight and made a few leg bending movements, "Da Lang went to Bianzhou to be wronged, if someone gloated in front of you, come to my cousin, and my cousin will be angry for you"
Quan Ce shook his head, but he didn't say anything, Wang Hui still regarded him as the cowardly little brother he used to be.
Wang Hui continued, "You are this Lao Shizi living room, I'm afraid it's not tasteful, it's better to get out early, there were some unclean rumors the day before yesterday, what kind of face, it sounds disgusting, Liu Tong They also said that you have defected to the enemy...... Ahem, what I said earlier" Wang Hui was emotional, said that he had leaked his mouth, hurriedly remedied, and carefully looked at Quan Ce's expression, he naturally couldn't see anything.
"Cousin, I heard my aunt say that you are going to the Eastern Capital" Quan Ce opened the topic, "Your injury, can you withstand the bumps in the road?" ”
"The injury is fine," Wang Hui waved his hand nonchalantly.
Quan Ce smiled and nodded, "That's fine."
When I came to my aunt's house, I couldn't go without dinner, Princess Gao'an and Quan Ce sat on the same case, holding his back with one hand, adding food to him with the other hand, pouring water and wiping his mouth, and was very busy, as if she was taking care of a baby.
Uncle Wang Miao and cousin Wang Hui are not strange when they see each other, and no one laughs at him.
In the middle of the night, Quan Ce carried a large bag and returned home.
"Uncle, cousin, it's cold at the end of the year, and the east is far away, so be careful"
"Haha, Da Lang Xiu wants to be a child, but he is going to Dongdu to see a doctor, what will happen, when I return from injury, I will teach you to play polo"
The power policy is deeply controlled.
