Chapter 12: The Queen of Heaven Summons
Xue Shao looked at the moon slave calmly. This female man, who has always been cold and calm, has a nervous expression, like a death row prisoner who has committed a heinous crime waiting to go to the court.
"Tell me, why are you doing this?"
The moon slave seemed to be out of his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "When the moon slave entered the palace, he had made a plan in his heart, if someone hurt the son, then the moon slave must let him return it a hundred times - no matter who he is!" β
Xue Shao almost took in a breath of cool air, "And then?" β
As a result, the moon slave heard the private conversation of several maids of Princess Taiping...... "Yue Nu still closed his eyes and didn't dare to open them, paused, and said, "Although the palace has let the prince come back, Princess Taiping has been making things difficult for the prince in the past few days." The moon slave couldn't get angry and wanted to teach her a lesson...... So, I took the golden hairpin from her head! β
"Rob, or steal?" Xue Shao asked calmly.
"Take!"
"Are you chewing words with me?" Xue Shao was angry and funny, "Say, how did you get it!" β
"Princess Taiping walked through the corridor, and the moon slave hooked upside down on the beams of the house, unknowingly, pulled the golden hairpin on her head!"
"No one noticed?"
"Nobody!"
Cattle!
Xue Shao had to praise in his heart. The guards in the palace are so strict; Princess Taiping's side has always been a group of palace eunuchs, many of whom are guarded by masters.
Moon slave is a bit of a general's demeanor in a million-strong army!
However, Xue Shao's face was stiff, "Such a thing is never allowed to be done in the future." β
"Yes, the moon slave knows that it is wrong!" The moon slave fell down on his knees and handed over a dagger with both hands, "Please give the son a sin!" β
Xue Shao calmly took the dagger and pulled it out to take a look, the dark light was shining, revealing a cold atmosphere.
The fetish is obscure, good knife!
The moon slave closed his eyes and was killed.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The moon slave shouldn't break into the palace at night and offend the princess!"
"Wrong."
Yue Nu opened her eyes in amazement and looked at Xue Shao.
Xue Shao sighed lightly, inserted the dagger back into the sheath, and put it back in the hand of the moon slave, "You shouldn't be so risky. If there is a bad pool, where can I find the second moon slave? β
"......" Yuenu's beautiful face trembled slightly, and the circles under her eyes were red, and the tears had already reached the edge of her eyes.
"Get up." Xue Shao smiled and helped her up.
Two bean-sized tears slipped quietly from the beautiful curved cheeks of the moon slave.
"I will act as if nothing happened today." Xue Shao said softly, "In the future, you need to know how to converge." β
The moon slave choked with tears, "From now on, the life and death of the moon slave are only in the thought of the son!" β
"Stupid." Xue Shao smiled and reached out to wipe the tears on her face, "Why do you have so many partings of life and death." Listen to the moon slave, you have signed the deed of sale, and you are going to serve me for the rest of your life. β
"It's ......!!"
"Go back and rest early."
The night gets darker.
Xue Shao lay on the bed and thought to himself: The people of the Tang Dynasty have three views that are obviously different from those in the 21st century. People like Moon Slave have almost disappeared in the 21st century. It is true that the "ideological realm" of the moon slave cannot be high, and it is completely impossible to talk about what kind of chivalrous person is for the country and the people. There was only one thought in her heart, all for me!
Even the Heaven and Earth Monarch is a floating cloud to her. If I really suffered any big grievances in the palace this time, it is estimated that what the moon slave took would not be as simple as a golden hairpin!
Xue Shao pondered left and right, Yue Nu's character really had a bit of a soldier's demeanor, and he took obedience to orders as his duty; The will is strong and decisive in killing, blood for blood and tooth for tooth! β¦β¦ What kind of master should her stepfather be, and how did he train the moon slave to be like this?
At dawn, Li Xianyuan, a small official, went to the palace early to take up his post. A petty official like him with nine grades, if it weren't for his ancestors or the dignitaries behind him to support the faΓ§ade, when he arrived at a place full of high-ranking officials like the confidential center of the palace, he would have to nod his head when he met a random person.
It is difficult for Beijing officials to be, if they don't have a strong foundation and background, or if they are blessed with deep favor, no matter how big an official is, they have to be a man with their tails between their legs. Therefore, Li Xianyuan is very envious of Xue Shao, he not only has a noble bloodline, but also has a prominent Hedong Xue clan behind him as the foundation and confidence, and there is a brother in the lineage who is a thorn. In Li Xianyuan's view, this is the invincible capital of officialdom, as if Xue Shao was born to be an official.
After breakfast, Xue Shao was about to take the moon slave to see the famous city of Chang'an in history.
That blind date inadvertently turned into a farce, and there was no order from the top when he left the palace yesterday, so Xue Shao neither entered the palace nor left Beijing, waiting for the order from the top to make a decision, which should be a wise decision.
A master and a servant were just about to go out, when they saw a group of chariots and horses in the palace fall outside Li Xianyuan's house. Li Xianyuan led the way, and when he saw Xue Shao, he looked at him vigorously. There is no doubt that this is a messenger from the palace.
"The queen of heaven issued an edict, Xuan Xue Shao entered the palace to face the saint." The one who came to pass the word was a eunuch in the palace, who was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent in his concise words, and after the routine finished speaking, he asked Xue Shao to get in the car, "Xue Gongzi, please!" β
"Wait at home, I'll come when I go." Xue Shao looked back at the moon slave, his eyes seemed to say that it was Empress Wu who summoned me this time, you wouldn't be interested in the golden hairpin on her head, right?
The pretty face of the moon slave turned slightly red, revealing a trace of shame, and he hugged his fists and bowed, "Childe is relieved and goes, the moon slave is here to wait, and he will never leave a step!" β
"Good." Xue Shao smiled slightly and boarded the carriage.
The word "good" made the moon slave take a deep breath with a flying face. The proud Miho slowly uplifted at an extremely slow speed, and slowly returned to its original state at an extremely slow speed.
It's almost her job.
Li Xianyuan couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of dumb riddle were their master and servant playing? β¦β¦ Moon slave, it's really majestic and abnormal!
The carriage had been gone for a long time, and Xue Shao was very patient and not impatient. He knew that today might be a turning point in his life in Datang. Whether he wants to or not, from this time he enters the palace, perhaps, Xue Shao's life will never be able to leave Princess Taiping behind.
In those years of military career, life and death have been experienced countless times, and there are not a few women who have experienced it, can you still be afraid of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl?
The swordsman has two blades, maybe Princess Taiping's side will not be peaceful, but it also means that there are many opportunities. Arsenic can still be used as medicine, if you can skillfully use the strength of Princess Taiping, it may be easier to realize your wish to "change your life against the sky".
The soul in Xue Shao's body now is not like many nobles in the Tang Dynasty who are pretending to be high and suffering crimes. As a professional soldier, it has always been his code of conduct to use the simplest and most practical methods to seek the greatest benefits and the most successful results.
If we had to change the habitual demeaning of the word, it would be to do whatever it takes to achieve the end.
The carriage stopped at the Xiama Bridge, and Xue Shao walked to the front of the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace.
Today's emperor Li Zhi has been unwell in recent years, and has long been out of government affairs, and the Empress Wu has issued an edict to sit in the Xuanzheng Palace all the year round to deal with national affairs, just like the king of a country.
"Xue Gongzi, please come with me." The eunuchs led the way, and there were many soldiers and armor on both sides. The palace is splendid and majestic, and people can't help but hold their breath and be cautious when they enter here. The so-called dragon is brilliant and can be reflected in every detail.
But Xue Shao was completely at ease. In his previous life, he had experienced so many trials of life and death, and in the eyes of anyone who saw a lot of sights, there was only the difference between friend and foe and life and death. Other people's lives, whether noble or lowly, can be completely changed and ended by a single bullet.
He has long developed such a habitual thinking. Therefore, even if he is "possessed" by Xue Shao now, living in a new environment with a strict hierarchy, even if he kneels down to him in the face of the emperor, there is still only indifference in his heart.
In the imperial study, Wu Zetian was sitting on the case and dealing with some disasters from Hedong and Hebei. Recently, there have been many events in the world, and the prince abolished the amnesty of the world, who knows that the road will soon be the land of two rivers, and the Yellow River is overflowing and the disaster is serious. This was followed by locust plagues and famines. It is rumored that there are people in the land of calamity who have been cannibalized, and their state is miserable and terrifying.
There have been rumors among the people, saying that this is the curse of the current saint who is immoral and unfair in dealing with the prince of the East Palace.
As we all know, Li Zhi, the Son of Heaven, has long ignored the government and politics, and it is all Empress Wu who is listening to the government. These rumors, of course, point the finger at her. If we can't help the people as soon as possible, the rumors will further expand. Even if Empress Wu is already in charge of the mouthpiece of the court and her henchmen are all over the world, she can't ignore the horror of people's hearts.
Wu Zetian's brows twisted slightly, and it was obvious that his mood was not very beautiful.
"Qi Xuan Tianhou Niangniang, Xue Shao has arrived." The palace attendant said cautiously.
Empress Wu didn't pay attention to it, and her brows were not spread. The people in the palace didn't dare to play again, and stood aside cautiously.
After a long time, Wu Zetian finished reading the fold in his hand before he said leisurely, "What's the matter?" β
"Xue Shao has arrived."
Wu Zetian seemed to remember this, "Call him in." β
Xue Shao walked into the imperial study, stood in front of the imperial case without squinting, and stood with his hands arched, "Weichen Xue Shao, see the queen of heaven." β
Unless it is in the formal occasion of the court meeting and temple, the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty is not cumbersome, and the phenomenon of enslavement is not as obvious as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Wu Zetian gave birth to a pair of dragon eyes that were not angry but mighty, glanced at Xue Shao condescendingly, and suddenly felt that the depressed aura in his chest had faded by at least half.
Men like to look at beautiful women, and often use "beautiful and delicious" to describe the visual enjoyment brought by a beautiful woman. Out of the principle that opposites attract, why don't women like to look at handsome guys, it is also a pleasing to the eye.
Wu Zetian has long forgotten the feeling of being a young girl and being young and ignorant, and he has never judged a person's talent and morality by his appearance. But this does not prevent her from having an aesthetic taste for handsome men.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and Wu Zetian is not immune. Her first impression of Xue Shao was very good.
'It's really the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, no wonder Taiping saw him like a deer, and he never forgot it...... How can a girl in her prime resist the attraction of such a beautiful man? Wu Zetian secretly thought in his heart. A meaningful smile appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.
Xue Shao's low eyebrows were neither humble nor arrogant, but he lost the slightly fleeting micro-expression on Empress Wu's face to the bottom of his eyes, which is good, this is a good start!.
