17th day of the first lunar month

The female emperor's question couldn't help but raise the hearts of the crown prince, Xiangwang, Li Sanlang, Li Ke, Pei Min and others, and they didn't dare to imagine what would happen next after Xiao Taibai said those two words. The ministers of the palace were looking forward to the answer, and everyone wanted to know who the child of this four- or five-year-old who could answer the poems fluently, and Wu Sansi and Taiping were even more ready to watch the excitement at this moment, and they were looking forward to how the female emperor's drama about to ride a tiger would be staged.

Xiao Taibai was about to speak, but Pei Min whispered: "Taibai!" Pei Min looked at the female emperor again and shook his head gently.

The female emperor seemed to understand Pei Min's intentions, and continued to say to Xiao Taibai: "Come, come to grandma's ear and tell grandma alone." With that, the female emperor leaned down, and Xiao Taibai leaned over gently.

Xiao Taibai said, the female emperor straightened up, but put away her previous smile, closed her eyes slightly, and fell into thought. Everyone in the hall was curious, who was the father of this child? But it seems that there should be no answer at this moment, so they looked at the female emperor together, waiting for what arrangements she would make next, and at the same time announcing the results of this competition.

Finally, the female emperor slowly opened her eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Today's literary decision, Shangguan Wan'er is talented, and her poetry and writing are overwhelming, so I judge her to win, and I will burn the lamp with me tomorrow to worship the Buddha!" As for Li Bai, he is still young, he has no words, he will not be punished today, he will be punished if he commits it again in the future! The female emperor said, under the leadership of Shangguan Wan'er, everyone was busy receiving the decree and thanking her, and she didn't dare to say more.

Pei Min also hugged Xiao Taibai, ready to retreat, this scene just now couldn't help but be afraid, Xiao Taibai waved his hand to the female emperor in Pei Min's arms, and said childishly: "Grandma, Xiao Taibai will come to see you another day." The female emperor smiled at Xiao Taibai and did not reply.

After returning to her seat, Yuewa hurriedly took over Xiao Taibai and hugged her tightly, and Li Ke also let out a long sigh of anger in her chest, which can be regarded as escaping.

The female emperor saw that the civil and military duel had already reached a result, so she got up and said loudly: "Today's civil and military competition has been decided, I have a drink with all the ministers, and we will have fun together!" After that, the female emperor took the golden cup on the eunuch's plate, raised a glass and drank it with everyone, and everyone shouted in unison: "Wait, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The female emperor was very old, and after toasting this glass of wine, she was about to leave to rest first, but at this time, a person suddenly stood up during the banquet, and walked straight to the middle of the hall, Wu Sansi was full of surprise for a while, because the person who walked to the middle of the hall was Xue Liang!

The female emperor also felt a little stunned, and looked at Xue Liang in surprise, Xue Liang bowed and said loudly: "I hope Your Majesty will stay!" I have something to say! "Xue Liang's move surprised everyone, a strategist of King Liang, who has no official and no lord, dares to call His Majesty bluntly in front of everyone, this is a great rebellion!

Without waiting for Wu Sansi to speak, Wu Jiang preemptively said loudly: "Mr. Xue, what do you mean?" Don't get out of the way yet! ”

Xue Liang sneered and replied: "Master Wu, we have all reached this point, why hide it anymore, if Your Majesty leaves first, how should King Liang and Princess Taiping handle the things they told us?" ”

Xue Liang's words couldn't help but make Wu Jiang feel very puzzled, what else did Wu Sansi tell him to do? How could he not even know himself, so he turned around and looked at Wu Sansi.

Wu Sansi was immediately furious, slapped the desk and stood up, and reprimanded loudly: "Mr. Xue, what are you talking nonsense? How did this king arrange for you to do anything related to your majesty? ”

Xue Liang looked unusually calm, smiled lightly, looked at Princess Taiping, and said, "King Liang said that he doesn't remember, did Her Royal Highness the princess give him some mention, some mention?" ”

Although Princess Taiping and Xue Liang have met several times, they all met with Wu Sansi, only knowing that the person is Wu Sansi's door, and there is no more intersection, at this moment Xue Liang suddenly said this to himself, Taiping was also very angry, and then took the case and scolded loudly: "Who are you?" How did this palace ever know you? ”

Xue Liang listened, but looked up to the sky and laughed, everyone was a little at a loss, especially the female emperor, this sudden change of order was actually unknown, Xue Liang continued: "It seems that King Liang and Princess Taiping are all rats!" ”

Wu Sansi was already extremely angry when he heard this, kicked over the desk in front of him, pointed at Xue Liang and scolded loudly: "Are you crazy today? You are just a doorman in the upper part of this king's mansion, and you dare to speak disrespectfully to this king here, and this king sees that you are dead! Come on, drag him out for this king and chop him into meat sauce! ”

"Wait!" The female emperor shouted loudly, Wu Sansi didn't expect His Majesty to stop it, so he turned to face the female emperor, bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this person is crazy for some reason, talking nonsense here, it is a micro-minister who has no way to control it, I am the disposal!" ”

The female emperor looked at Wu Sansi and Taiping, then at Xue Liang, and then said: "I don't think this person is crazy, and I am not in a hurry to deal with it, so why are you panicking?" Listen to what he has to say! ”

"But... Aunt! Before Wu Sansi finished speaking, the female emperor rebuked him loudly: "Today in the Jixian Palace, in front of everyone, you want to call me Your Majesty!" ”

"Yes ... Yes, Your Majesty! After the female emperor reprimanded loudly, Wu Sansi didn't dare to say more.

The female emperor looked at Xue Liang and continued, "Who are you? What's the matter? Here I am, thou shalt speak! ”

Xue Liang smiled slightly, glanced at Wu Sansi, and said: "I have said a long time ago that the heart, bearing, and wisdom of Your Majesty today are beyond the reach of King Liang and Princess Taiping, and you are still trying to launch a mutiny, which is really a joke!" ”

When Xue Liang said this, everyone in the hall was shocked, and their eyes looked at Wu Sansi and Taiping in unison; Wu Sansi's face turned red, and he rebuked loudly: "Ru'an dares to spew blood? Say that this king wants to start a mutiny, do you have any evidence? Although Taiping had the intention of mutiny, he could only do his best to clear it up at this moment, so he echoed: "You are a doorman, you dare to frame the imperial family, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

Xue Liang no longer paid attention to the two, turned to the female emperor and said calmly: "I am Xue Liang, I was indeed a disciple of Wu Sansi before, and of course I have always witnessed what he and Princess Taiping did, but... Xue Liang shook his head, looked at Wu Sansi and continued: "If you compare King Liang with one person, in my opinion, the most similar is Yuan Shao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!" Although he has a good situation, he is so happy, resourceful, conceited, and suspicious! If you can achieve great things, then God is really blind! ”

Xue Liang said, Wu Sansi couldn't bear it anymore, and he wanted to rush forward to capture Xue Liang, but just as he wanted to do it, the female emperor shouted: "You stop me!" Listen to what he has to say! As soon as the female emperor drank like this, Wu Sansi didn't dare to move again.

Xue Liang looked at Wu Sansi, raised his hands, and said loudly with disdain: "Have you seen it?" As I said, when King Liang is in trouble, what can he do except be angry? Wu Sansi listened, he was so angry that he kept panting, he never expected that Xue Liang, who he had always trusted, would betray him at this moment, and humiliate him so much in front of His Majesty and everyone, even if it was done today, what face would he have in the future.

Xue Liang no longer paid attention to Wu Sansi, turned his head to look at Princess Taiping, and continued: "The princess is complicated, she doesn't remember Xue? Then Xue reminded the princess to see if the princess could afford it. ”

Princess Taiping saw that Xue Liang began to target herself, and she couldn't help but become angry in her heart, but just now Wu Sansi had already been reprimanded by His Majesty, if she was also fighting with Xue Liang, she would inevitably be scolded, so she didn't say anything more, but glared at Xue Liang angrily.

Xue Liang said: "A few days ago, the princess came to visit King Liang's mansion late at night, and wanted to invite King Liang to join the two saints in the court, I wonder if the princess still remembers?" Xue has all the words in his heart, and he doesn't dare to forget them for a moment? ”

Princess Taiping shouted excitedly: "You! But his whole body trembled suddenly, and he couldn't continue to say the rest of his words.

Hearing the words "Two Saints in the Dynasty", everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and even the golden cup in the hands of the female emperor accidentally fell to the ground. She couldn't help but feel sad and sad in her heart at this moment!

Taiping hurriedly turned around and knelt down to the female emperor, and said loudly: "Mother, don't listen to this person's nonsense!" ”

Xue Liang sneered: "I am talking nonsense? Your Majesty is watching the fire, if I am talking nonsense, how can there be so many Yulin Army, Forbidden Army officers and family members in the main hall today? This is not a good thing for you to do, one by one arrested the families of all the officers, in order to ask for a mutiny today, fortunately Long Ansi Li Sicheng and Li Duwei rescued each other, so that they could escape, if not, I am afraid that they would have already met each other at this moment! ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim again, first, they were shocked by Taiping's methods, and second, Xue Liang actually mentioned Li Duwei of Long'an Division, isn't this Li Ke who has been on the run for days? How could he come to the rescue, everyone was very puzzled.

Xue Liang paused at this point, and continued: "Brother Li, the matter has come to this, so you don't have to hide your identity?" It is also good for everyone to re-understand who is the veteran who is extremely brave in the royal racecourse, who broke into the Liang Wang's Mansion alone, and rescued his family members in the princess's mansion today! ”

After saying this, everyone was amazed, and at the same time began to look around to see who it was? Eventually, their eyes were on Li Ke, as they recognized him as a veteran of the Royal Racecourse that day.

Li Ke saw that his identity could no longer be hidden, so he simply stood up, a little bit of his own Feng Chi acupoint, and instantly returned to his previous appearance, everyone had never seen this disguise technique, and for a while there were exclamations and marvels.

Li Ke stared at Xue Liang and asked coldly, "Mr. Xue, you have been friends with me for many years, why are you acting like this today?" ”
