Chapter 730: The New Replace the Old

What does it feel like to grow old?

Li Xian saw that his children were full of people, and looked at the one or two gray hairs that came out of his head, and he might lament that he was old; As long as Helan Yan stares at the mirror, he can always find the flaws on his face and hair, and he will lose his temper for no reason; As for Li Lingyue, a young man who has not yet married and is in his prime, he also likes to mutter that he is a year older...... Therefore, for the Empress Wu, who is about to celebrate her 60th birthday unconsciously, she can better appreciate the power of time.

Even when she stood beside Li Zhi, she still looked like a forty woman. Although when the children and grandchildren are full of laughter and laughter, they are always evaluated by grandmothers who are not old. Although the flamboyant Li Xian has always said that the queen mother is the youngest, or adds some jokes such as youth and never old. However, just from the effort she spent on grooming, she was saddened to find that she was inevitably old.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

An excited voice interrupted Empress Wu's thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er rushing in like a gust of wind, holding a bunch of various scrolls in her hand. Seeing this, she couldn't help but shake her head. It's been three years, but this girl has not grown much since she was born, and she is always smiling and smiling, not like the granddaughter of an old Shangguan who is old and dignified. Speaking of which, when Shangguan Wan'er came to Mao Sui to recommend herself three years ago, she really thought it was a joke.

For the anger or helplessness of the martial queen, Shangguan Wan'er has already seen too much. thought that she was the companion of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue at the beginning, and she didn't see her when she looked up. Therefore, there is not so much fear of this famous Empress Taishang, even if the Empress Wu is standing next to her, she can still achieve it overnight when she drafts the edict, and the words are luxuriant, far beyond the reach of ordinary scholars, so now the Empress Wu's edicts are all from her handwriting.

"Your Majesty, this is a document sent by the state. said that he wanted to repair His Majesty's ancestral tomb; This is an urgent report from Qiongzhou, saying that the sky is auspicious, and the pearl shells in the water are shocked to appear with colorful colors......"

Shangguan Wan'er placed the official documents in her hand neatly on the table. Immediately, one by one, they explained carefully and carefully, but they were thinking about another thing in their hearts. When she first went to the political affairs hall, she met several jinshi who had just entered the court as officials, and when she saw them staring at her crimson official robes, she felt a strange pride in her heart.

How about being a daughter, it's not the same as being an official! Maybe one day, she will be able to do what her mother joked. Weigh the world with a scale! It's not about ambition. She just sighed every time she read a book and saw those talented women with thin lives, at least, she felt that what Li Xian said when she was joking made her very touched.

The so-called talented women have a short life, but because those women happened to be born at the wrong time, since she was born at the right time, how can she not be buried casually!

"Wan'er?"

Empress Wu shouted twice, and when she saw Shangguan Wan'er just chattering and explaining, she knew that this girl must have been distracted again, and she didn't feel very funny. She has always admired talented people. It's not so much because Shangguan Wan'er is Shangguan Yi's granddaughter that she looks at it differently, but because of her free talent.

Of course, Shangguan Wan'er thought carefully and she could see it clearly, for example, every time Li Xian came, someone always had to play with his apprentice. How could she not see the kind of daughter's heart hidden under the play?

Merely. Men and women are not in a hurry, and now Li Xian has the most children. She, an elder, has nothing to worry about. Shangguan Wan'er is more effective than the Zhongshu people she personally promoted, and she is a woman, so she doesn't have to worry about the danger of forming a party for personal gain, which can be said to be the most reliable. Whenever she remembered that when Shangguan Yi came to see her, she looked at her granddaughter with such a strange gaze, and she felt a kind of pride from the bottom of her heart.

At the beginning, that little mustard has passed, Shangguan Yi has retired, and his granddaughter has become her henchman again, from this point of view, she has won the beautiful and clean stream!

As a result, Empress Wu quickly put the worries of old age behind her mind - in fact, she has always been more open-minded than Li Zhi in this regard. After all, she has always paid attention to the way of self-cultivation, and her mother Yang has also lived past the age of ninety, as long as she cherishes her blessings and nourishes her body, even if she lives a long life, it may not be impossible. Looking at her son's filial piety, she has thrown off a lot of political affairs over the years, and only pinched the most important personnel power in her hands. In addition to being a good wife and mother, she is still the supreme queen of the Tang Dynasty, which is a premise that cannot be ignored.

When Li Xian quietly slipped into the Great Yi Palace, he saw the scene of the Empress Wu thinking and Shangguan Wan'er in a daze. He himself also has a ghost in his heart, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw this scene at this time, but at this time, someone gently pushed him behind him. When he turned around and saw that it was Ah Qian, he hurriedly whispered hello, but when he saw the pale hair exposed by her sideburns, he was even more stunned for a while.

"What do you see, haven't you seen it before? You really trained a good apprentice, Wan'er's ability is more than one top three, and now I have nothing to do! ”

When she said this, Ah Qian's face showed obvious jealousy, but it was more of self-harm. Although she once learned to read and write in the palace bureau, she was not as talented as Shangguan Wan'er after all, and now although she is still a female official next to the Empress Wu, she is much inferior to before. When it comes to delivering news, she is far inferior to Shangguan Wan'er now. And the most important point is that Shangguan Wan'er is still young and beautiful, but she is already old.

Because he had already had a skin-to-skin relationship, Li Xian realized the meaning of Ah Qian's expression in an instant. Almost without hesitation, he whispered: "Ah Qian, I will mention it to the queen mother later, and you will go to the East Palace to be a female official in the future." What the queen mother needs now is someone like Wan'er, but I still need an all-rounder like you. ”

"I'll pick what sounds good!"

Although he glanced at him angrily, Ah Qian was really moved this time. In the past, she rejected Empress Wu's proposal and rejected Li Xian's sincerity, but she thought that she had no advantage over Helan Yanqu Tushen Ruo, but now she is no longer young, and even the only advantage she has gradually disappeared after Empress Wu favored Shangguan Wan'er. In this case, Li Xian's East Palace is indeed a place where she will die of her old age.

At least, she has served by the side of Empress Wu for so many years, although she may not be as brilliant as Shangguan Wan'er, but her work in pen and ink is extremely familiar. Li Xian has not lived in the East Palace so far, and the daughters of Helan Yan have been living in the mansion of Xiuwenfang. If she were a female official in the East Palace, she wouldn't have too many worries.

Ah Qian's heartbeat Li Xian saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, and immediately gave her up and walked inside. Seeing that the old and the young were all extremely serious expressions, he was a little embarrassed to come forward and disturb, so he simply stood quietly beside Empress Wu, while watching Shangguan Wan'er splash ink and write the edict, while listening to the layers of meaning of Empress Wu.

Although the scholars of the Tang Dynasty are far inferior to the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, as long as they are women, they can read and hyphenate even if they can't export chapters. His mother's poetry is not very good, but his handwriting is excellent, and he does have real talent, compared to the later generations who originally started by pinching and folding, and did not read many books but harmed the whole of China, the Empress Wu is undoubtedly a real heroine among women.

Especially when this heroine did not appoint cool officials for various reasons, let alone kill innocents indiscriminately, Datang is undoubtedly on the road of rapid development.

After reading the last meaning, Empress Wu let Shangguan Wan'er play freely regardless of it. Suddenly, she felt that there seemed to be one more person beside her, and immediately turned her head and found that it was Li Xianfang who smiled: "Sneaky all day long, you are already a group of children, why do you always come to such a set?" ”

Li Xian smiled slightly, secretly pondering what he had just heard. His mother's ancestral home is in Bingzhou, and the ancestral tomb of the Wu family is naturally there, and as her status becomes more and more respected day by day, the matter of the ancestral tomb of the Wu family is often mentioned as a major event, such as this time today. It's just that he didn't expect that today, his mother actually rejected the renovation request made by the history of the state.

"The Wu family has gone back to worship once before, and it is said that it is very well preserved, and there is no decadence, and this state assassin history is really too attentive." He joked casually, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Does the queen mother know that Wu Chengsi is doing a good job in the household department now, and several Lang officials in the household department have spoken highly of him, and it seems that he is now more likely to compete with Zhou Guogong Wu Sansi." ”

"It's also a good thing that a mere duke of Zhou can make them fight like meat and bones."

Empress Wu smiled, as if she had no interest in these people who also had the surname Wu. In addition to her mother's sister and sister, there are also nieces and nephews, and the other martial arts family members are just outsiders to her, and the reason why she has taken a little care now is just out of clan considerations. After all, she needs to leave an heir for her father, who has passed away.

She glanced at Li Xian, who was smiling, and thought to herself that humanity was that Li Xian had always been calm about power, but she didn't know that her son had always been a retributive character, but she was afraid that she would not have a good impression of Wu Sansi, who had conflicts when she was a child, so she would sit and watch the Wu family divide into two groups. It's just that this is not harmful to her, so she simply let it go.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er finally finished writing the edict, picked up the ink-drenched paper and was about to say something, when she saw Li Xian, she couldn't help but show a surprised and happy expression. And Li Xian winked at her slightly, then lowered his head and whispered to Empress Wu: "Queen Mother, since you have Wan'er now, it is better to send Ah Qian to the East Palace." I'm really not used to those servants, but I'm still used to Ah Qian serving me. ”

For Li Xian's wrong mouth, Empress Wu knew it, and after a moment of silence, she agreed. Anyway, Ah Qian has been with her for so many years, it's time for her to rest.
