The first year of the light house, October 8.

Qianyuan Hall of Taichu Palace in Luoyang City.

With a hearty laugh, Wu Zetian slowly walked out of the Qianyuan Palace.

Although she is an old woman in her sixties with children and grandchildren, she looks only in her forties because of her beauty skills.

Wu Zetian has a long neck, a square forehead, a plump face, and slender eyebrows. Her nose is small and delicate, and she is extremely charming. But a pair of eyes are clear and bright, shining with wisdom.

She was wearing an open-chested Qiluo shirt and a golden shawl around her shoulders, and there was a softness in her grace.

Twelve palace ladies six in front of six behind, lined up in two rows, lightly moving lotus steps, feather fans swaggering, tending to follow each other.

Wu Zetian's skirt fell lightly to the ground, more than three feet long.

Wu Zetian stood on the steps, looking at the peony flowers blooming outside the hall, and spoke softly.

"It's still good in Luoyang City, unlike Chang'an, which is full of decadent atmosphere."

Wu Zetian loves peonies, and everyone in the world knows it.

Moreover, there are many varieties of Luoyang peony, all of which are famous species.

With the strong support of Wu Zetian and the careful cultivation of florists, many varieties can bloom in spring and autumn, and even in winter, they can be cultivated through the warm cellar to produce blooming peony flowers.

The entire Luoyang Palace is planted with peonies, and the flowers are full of flowers. A gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers overflows, which is refreshing.

"Diva."

On Wu Zetian's side, a young man dressed in a moon-white round-necked robe and wearing a soft-footed hood was waiting.

Tang girls love to dress up as men, and young sons are also females. She has shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her figure is slender, but she can hardly hide her transparent temperament, which is as warm as jade.

If Wu Zetian is a radiant and rich peony, then the person who accompanies her is a fresh and eternal valley lily.

In the end, Wu Zetian was the only one who was the most trusted and reused. This is the grandson of the former prime minister Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Wan'er, who is known as the "women's prime minister".

Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi and father Shangguan Tingzhi are Wu Zetian's sworn enemies. Later, Wu Zetian executed them on the charge of rebellion. Because Shangguan Wan'er's mother Zheng was the sister of Taichang Shaoqing Zheng Xiuyuan, the mother and daughter survived death and were assigned to the inner court as maids.

When Shangguan Wan'er first entered the palace, she was still in infancy, and the Zheng family, who was born in a famous aristocratic family, naturally did not want her daughter to be a slave for life, so when Shangguan Wan'er was a little older, she was allowed to enter the palace school hall to receive court training.

Under the strict requirements of her mother, Shangguan Wan'er was brilliant and talented at the age of thirteen or fourteen, not only able to read poetry and books well, but also to recite poems and texts, and to be knowledgeable and intelligent.

Although Wu Zetian has a brutal temperament, he also cherishes talents very much, and there are historical records that she "comes out of politics by herself, is discerning and judgmental, and is used by heroes and sages at that time".

Shangguan Wan'er has ever been punished, it is a very cruel criminal law, that is, to engrave words on the face of criminals, and then paint them with ink, but she rejuvenated her hands and painted a small red flower on the scar on her forehead, which amazed the women in the palace and led a wave of fashion

Therefore, when Shangguan Wan'er's reputation reached Wu Zetian's ears, Wu Zetian immediately summoned her.

For all kinds of questions raised by Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er can answer them fluently, and her demeanor is dignified, her conversation is elegant, and she is not afraid of Wu Zetian's majestic majesty.

Even though Shangguan Wan'er scolded Wu Zetian in a seven-character poem, Wu Zetian didn't care, but praised the poem for its beautiful words and sincerity.

Because, Wu Zetian saw the shadow of his youth in Shangguan Wan'er

Shangguan Wan'er waited for an opportunity to assassinate her in order to win Wu Zetian's trust, and several assassination attempts were forgiven by Wu Zetian.

She was moved by Wu Zetian's grace of not killing, so she abandoned the revenge of killing her father and served Wu Zetian with all her heart.

Of course, it was also because of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the court was arrogant and lascivious, and the idea of feminism became increasingly popular, especially Wu Zetian's rule, which subverted the tradition that only men could be emperors, and stimulated the political ambition of women in the court to fight for power.

Shangguan Wan'er can only rely on Wu Zetian, a talented Bole, to bring her the highest position and supreme rights.

Of course, Shangguan Wan'er also lived up to expectations, no matter how big or small, she was conscientious and handy in handling it, and she also served Wu Zetian very properly in various details of life, and Wu Zetian already regarded her as his confidant.

After all, from an orphan girl who had nothing to the chief secretary who enjoyed endless glory and wealth, all this could only be given to her by Wu Zetian.

Shangguan Wan'er held Wu Zetian's arm and said softly.

"Coming to Junchen's side, there is news that Pei Yan has been beheaded in Dutingyi, and Zuo Su Zhengtai also controls Cheng Wuting in the army, once he has any changes, he will be beheaded directly."

"Hu Yuanfan was exiled to Shanzhou, and Liu Qixian also went to Jizhou to be the chief historian."

"The Hedong Pei clan is now in the court, and they are no longer able to return to the sky."

Wu Zetian glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and said helplessly.

"Cheng Wuting is Cheng Mingzhen's son, and he has a reputation in the army, you ask Zuo Su Zhengtai to be careful, don't be capsized. It's a pity, if Pei Xingjian doesn't die, the Pei family in Hedong will be able to be used by me, alas, kill Pei Yan, Cui Quan's people may never be with me again, isn't there a war in the south? You tell Suo Yuanli to find something to do for those old men. ”

。 ”

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and persuaded,

"Pei Dudu was born in the middle family of the Pei family in Hedong, Pei Yan is a horse Pei, and the Pei family still has some to use. Suo Yuanli is a Hu person, I'm afraid Cui Zheng's family won't buy it, or let Hou Sizhi help him. It's just that Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Li Duozuo, and Hei Tooth Changzhi were all picked up by Pei Dudu back then, and killed Cheng Wuting, and the other three are afraid? ”

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's hesitation, Wu Zetian still attached some importance to her opinion.

"It doesn't matter if the black tooth is constant, he is a Baekje man, and he can still turn the sky upside down. Li Xiaoyi fought with Xu Jingye in Yangzhou, so let's arrange the black tooth Changzhi over. Wang Fangyi is the elder brother of Queen Wang, I don't want to fight for him, you press him in Anxi, and when I have my hands freed up, I will clean him up, Li Duozuo is a Yan Ya, okay, you go back and draft an edict, turn his right Yulin Army general into a regular, and hand over the north gate and the forbidden army to him, I trust him so much, see if he dares to live up to me?

"No, you go back and write a note again, telling Heiya Changzhi and Li Duozuo that I gave them what I gave them, who can give it in this world?"

Wu Zetian added.

"Isn't it a bit risky for the queen to do this?"

Shangguan Wan'er persuaded behind her.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and said to Shangguan Wan'er.

"You're not at ease? If you don't worry, let Qiu Shenyun keep an eye on it, I think Qiu Shenyun is not as reliable as Li Duozuo. Forget it, for Qiu Xinggong's sake, let's use him again. ”

After Shangguan Wan'er wrote it down, she took a step closer and said, "The spies came to report that there was an abnormality in King Han, King Lu, and King Yue, and I don't know if I have reached the Queen of Heaven?" ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, and said: "These children and grandchildren of Emperor Taizong, none of them are angry, there is a change, you let Zhou Xing keep an eye on it, you tell him that his Shangshu Province Shangshu has been doing things for a long time, and the Criminal Department has sent a waiter, whether he can take it or not depends on his own ability, and it is enough to pay attention not to fall into the hands of others." Don't tell me about these little things. ”

Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "There is one more thing, that is, Taiping and Xue Shao." Taiping is now Xue Shao not married, Xue Shao is unwilling to divorce his wife and remarry, so it has been troublesome for three years. You know, Taiping is seventeen years old this year, and if it is delayed, I am afraid of rumors... ”

"Huh?"

Princess Taiping is the youngest daughter of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian, because she is similar to Wu Zetian in appearance and personality, so she is very favored.

Wu Zetian stood still, and a cold killing intent appeared between his eyebrows.

"I can't finish dealing with state affairs every day, and I still have to watch these children play house. Xue Shao is unwilling to divorce his wife and remarry, what about his dead wife? ”

Shangguan Wan'er understood, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Wu Zetian let out a low "um" and continued to walk forward, but his interest was no longer there.

Outsiders only know that Wu Zetian's women don't let their eyebrows go, and what they see is only Wu Zetian's domineering side.

didn't know that she was still a woman after all, and women always have some emotional moments.

No matter what state affairs or family affairs, there is no one to worry about.

Wu Zetian sighed indignantly, there were flowers in front of her, but she was no longer interested in looking at it.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that she was not very interested, so she persuaded softly.

"The queen is tired, so let's rest early! I'll wait and arrange for Master Xue to come over. ”

"Hmm!"

She thought she had won the hearts and minds of the opposition, but the reality was that no one was available.

The only thing you need to use is Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi and other cool officials who have no background.

The only ones you want to use are non-Han people like Heiya Changzhi and Li Duozuo.

Just because she's a woman? Why can't a woman sit in the world? ”

It's time for Wan'er to open the Zhaowen Pavilion.

Wu Zetian thought helplessly.

She nodded, and said lightly.

"Drive and go back to the palace."

Historically, the fourteen-year-old Princess Taiping met the handsome warrior Xue Shao on the night of the masquerade carnival of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, which made her fall into the girl's first love. Out of doting on his daughter, Wu Zetian covered up the fact that Xue Shao was married, and secretly killed Xue Shao's wife, Huiniang. After several years of painful married life, Xue Shao finally thought that his falling in love with Princess Taiping was a betrayal of his deceased wife, and cowardly chose death.

In 681 AD, when Princess Taiping was about 16 years old, she married Xue Shao.

In 688, because Xue Shao's elder brother Xue Yi participated in the rebellion of Li Chong of the Tang Clan, Xue Shao was implicated, but Xue Shao himself did not participate in this rebellion, and it was Wu Zetian who felt that Princess Taiping had married the wrong man. Wu Zetian ordered Xue Yi to be executed, and Xue Shao was punished with a hundred rods and starved to death in prison. At that time, Princess Taiping's youngest son had just reached the full moon.

Soon, Wu Zetian had planned to marry the widowed Princess Taiping to Wu Chenghei, but because Wu Chenghei was ill, Princess Taiping remarried to Wu Youji in 690 AD. After marriage, Princess Taiping gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Wu Youji.

After Xue Shao's death, Princess Taiping's temperament changed greatly, she wantonly raised male favorites, committed adultery with courtiers, and once dedicated her favorite male pet Zhang Changzongjin to Wu Zetian.

Of course, this is all historical.

Now that the protagonist has crossed over, history will change.

Change, change, change.
