Xue Shao had to admit that if what Wei Xiang'er said was true, then her instigation really worked.

——Let the military power in his hand and let others lead the way to take command on his behalf, this definitely violates the last bottom line in Xue Shao's heart, which he absolutely cannot tolerate!

Wei Xiang'er finally struck a blow and continued: "From the perspective of the prime minister, all the armies in the world have military power under the imperial court, and the 200,000 troops outside Luoyang City are of course no exception. Xue Yuma, do you know that you have 200,000 troops to impeach the Eastern Capital, so how many people are on your back? ”

Xue Shao knew that she was referring to Pei Yan.

"It is precisely for this reason that some people propose disarmament on the grounds that military spending is too large and that the Luoshui army is disturbing the people. Of course, the person who made the request was not Pei Yan himself. There were so many loyal eagle dogs under his command that he randomly assigned a person to ask the court for advice, and then he naturally took the matter to the government hall for public discussion. Wei Xiang'er said, "Take a look at the people in the political hall today, Liu Qixian, Guo Zhengyi, Guo Beifeng, Cen Changqian, Wei Xuantong, which one is not Pei Yan's henchman?" Liu Renliang, the only old prime minister who could suppress Pei Yan a little, was also shelved in Chang'an, Xijing, and couldn't ask about the government affairs of the eastern capital. The imperial court has long become Pei Yan's one-man imperial court. Now, he is about to appoint other generals to lead 200,000 Luoshui troops to the Northern Expedition to quell the rebellion. Xue Yuma, you know that Pei Yan wants to take the opportunity to cut off your military power. But in the face of such a justifiable conspiracy as him, in what name can you raise an objection? ”

Xue Shao fell into deep thought, if this was the case, it seemed that in addition to fighting for it from the Queen Mother, there was only one "evil road" left to go...... But once you embark on this evil path, you will be buried!

"Does Xue Juma regret a little now, refusing His Majesty to appoint you as prime minister?" Wei Xiang'er said.

Xue Shao smiled, "Even if I accept His Majesty's appointment, does the Empress think this appointment can be implemented?" ——The day before yesterday, His Majesty was going to appoint Li Xiantong, the general of Fengchenwei, what was the result? ”

"That's why I said, Xue and we should be in the same boat." Wei Xiang'er smiled slightly, smiled very confidently and sincerely, and said, "If Xue Juma can help His Majesty fight against the ministers to regain the monarchy, then Xue Juma is the real hero of the dragon, just like the British Duke Li Tao back then." The first emperor appointed Xue Fuma as the general of Tuogu, isn't this exactly what he meant? ”

Xue Shao smiled. At this moment, Wei Xiang'er's only true intention was finally fully revealed-she wanted me to help Xinjun kill Pei Yan and return the power to the Middle Palace to be a real pro-government.

Doesn't that mean that you have to kill the Queen Mother?

Xue Shao knew that the reason why Wei Xiang'er was looking for him was completely because he took a fancy to the military power in his hands. A general with troops wants to kill the ministers, and there is no other way than to "launch a mutiny".

However, the emperor and empress will definitely not admit such a crime as "killing the minister who is not guilty of killing his life and killing his mother without filial piety". Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Wei Xiang'er only needs to pretend not to know and completely shift the responsibility to Xue Shao. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family, and Gaozong Li Zhi once did it back then - isn't this how Shangguan Yi died?

In the final analysis, Wei Xianger just wanted to instigate and use Xue Shao to achieve the purpose of "borrowing a knife to kill". After she is done, she only needs to come to eat and wipe clean and not admit the account, Xue Shao will become a rebel and thief who commits rebellion, and there is no place to bury him!

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Shao had a soul from more than a thousand years later, he would have already had a "preconceived" understanding of Wei Xiang'er's mental skills, and he would have grasped the direction of this period of history in front of him. Right now, he is almost likely to be successfully instigated by Wei Xiang'er, and then fall into her vicious schemes!

"Hahaha!!" Xue Shao suddenly burst out laughing.

Wei Xiang'er, who was standing closer to Xue Shao, was startled and took two steps back, "Xue, Xue Yuma, why did you suddenly laugh?" ”

"Minister, I was moved by the wisdom of the emperor's mother. I can't help but laugh. Xue Shao bowed, "The minister retreats!" ”

With that, Xue Shao turned around and left.

"Hey—" Wei Xiang'er was anxious, stomping her feet and shouting.

Xue Shao strode into the clouds, non-stop.

Wei Xiang'er panicked now, in case Xue Shao told the Empress Dowager what he just said, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

"Stop him!" In a hurry, Wei Xiang'er gave an order.

Seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids stepped forward together, wanting to pull and stop Xue Shao.

Xue Shao suddenly stopped, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who dares to move?!" ”

Momentum is like thunder, murderous!

A group of eunuchs and palace maids froze on the spot and didn't dare to move, looking at Xue Shao in horror, like a group of small beasts in the forest seeing a tiger descending from the mountain. Wei Xiang'er, who was more than ten steps away, was trembling with alcohol, her face suddenly tensed and became very nervous, and she also showed a little panic.

The Yulin guards up and down the city tower heard Xue Shao's murderous shout, and hurriedly ran up to check the situation. Seeing this scene in front of them, the sergeants were stunned - Xue Yuma drank the queen of the town, what is the situation?

In front of everyone's eyes, Xue Shao straightened his clothes, and bowed to Wei Xiang'er with a smile on his face, "Queen Mother, please retire from Rongchen." ”

"Hmm...... Xue Concubine, please! Wei Xiang'er finally reluctantly came back to her senses and nodded awkwardly.

"Empress Xie." Xue Shao bowed again, and said word by word, "Please take care of the queen." Today, the minister should have never seen the queen. Minister...... Retire! ”

The Yulin Guard sergeants were stunned when they heard this, what kind of dumb riddle was Xue Shao playing with the queen?

"The colt is easy to walk. Please! Wei Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, he shouldn't go to tell the Queen Mother!

Xue Shao turned around again and strode away.

No one dared to stop Xue Shao now.

At this time, Xue Shao felt that it was a wise decision that he did not follow Wei Xiang'er to her tearoom to talk about things. If the scene just now was changed to a secret room, Wei Xiang'er would only need to feed a cup of poison or call in a team of people, and she would immediately turn into a corpse.

As for the crime - molesting the queen, even if this is Wei Xiang'er's one-sided remarks, it is enough to let Xue Shao raid the house and destroy the door.

Xue Shao walked down the city tower, rode the mighty dragon treasure horse and left. Running around the mountain all the way, Xue Shao did not return to his home in Luoyang, but arrived in the Luoshui camp.

Xue Chuyu and the others, who were training in the army, were a little surprised to see Xue Shao suddenly arrive alone, Xue Shao didn't explain much to them, but just gave an order - three days later, the military parade will be held!

Xue Chuyu and the others were even more surprised, the military parade was a military exercise that simulated actual combat, and this was the biggest thing in the army besides the expedition. Generally speaking, unless the war is about to be met immediately, or in order to increase vigilance and run in the army when preparing for war on the front line, this kind of large-scale military parade will not be carried out in general.

But since Xue Shao didn't explain, Xue Chuyu and the others didn't dare to ask more. After receiving the order, all the generals were busy preparing for the military parade in three days.

After the matter was ordered, Xue Shao returned to his handsome tent alone, and smashed the coffee table in front of him with a punch in anger!

The handsome guard Guo An and the others thought that there were assassins, and when they heard the noise, they broke in and took a look, and they were startled on the spot.

"Young marshal, why are you so angry?" Guo An asked in a low voice.

"It's fine." Xue Shao let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Pass the order, the military parade is equivalent to actual combat, from now on, the whole battalion will enter a state of combat readiness, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will, and the military discipline punishment will be strict and severe." In addition, as long as the parade is not over, no matter who it is, even if the emperor comes, I will not see it! ”

"Yes!" Guo An solemnly promised.

"It's okay, let's get busy!"

Guo An and the others had no choice but to retreat.

Xue Shao took a moment to calm himself down.

He frowned and looked back carefully, feeling that there was a lot of water in what Wei Xiang'er said, but there was one thing that seemed to be true-the imperial court planned to appoint other generals to take over the Luoshui army and take command of the Northern Expedition!

As for the person in charge, it is very likely to be Cheng Wuting.

In doing so, Pei Yan can not only take care of the safety of the country, but also weaken the power of his political opponent Xue Shao. Moreover, such a personnel appointment will make Xue Shao irrefutable - the 200,000 army in Luoshui is not Xue Shao's personal army, and Cheng Wuting's current record and prestige are also higher than Xue Shao's.

As Wei Xiang'er said, what reason can Xue Shao use to protest at that time?

Therefore, this is not like a fake appearance that Wei Xiang'er can fabricate, this is very similar to what Pei Yan, who is good at scheming, can do!

"Forget about the rest. Pei Yan, if you really dare to take away my military power, I will dare to come and play with you! Xue Shao sneered, "Mom, the tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat!" ”

……

With Xue Shao's order, the 200,000 Luoshui field army moved in all its power and threw itself into a huge military parade.

The next day, Xue Shao stayed in the barracks to personally direct the military exercises, and of course did not go to the court.

A minister reported to the emperor at the court meeting, saying that the 200,000 Luoshui army outside the city suddenly moved as if it was about to go to war.

Li Xian had long been accustomed to not knowing anything about this kind of militaristic matter, and said blankly: "Pei Zhongshu, do you know why?" ”

Pei Yan's expression was quite ugly and a little nervous, and he came out of the class and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister guesses that General Xue may be conducting a military parade." ”

"So, you don't even know Pei Zhongshu?" Li Xian also noticed a hint of abnormality, and a trace of nervousness was added to his expression, "This, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, no one knows?" ”

The court was silent, and everyone was silent.

"The generals and officials of the right guard, have any of them come to the court today?" Li Xian asked again.

There was no response.

After a while, there was a palace attendant Yu Shi replied on his behalf: "Your Majesty, all the generals of the right guard, none of them came to the court today!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"Xue Shaotun is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but he is not ordered by the emperor but he is free to use troops, what does he want to do?!"

I don't know who shouted this sentence in the court, which caused panic on the spot!

Although the words were not clear, all the ministers of civil and military affairs thought of one thing together - could it be that Xue Shao was going to rebel?!

…… If he rebelled, it would be miserable!

200,000 Luoshui army, who can compete?

Even if all the millions of people in Luoyang City are gathered, it will not be enough for him to kill!!

"Silence!!"

Pei Yan shouted loudly, and the court finally quieted down.

Li Xian's face was full of nervousness and embarrassment, and he said in a panic: "Pei Zhongshu, such a different phase, why don't we go together, may I ask the queen of heaven?" ”

"Your Majesty." Pei Yan bowed his hand and said calmly, "The minister thinks that Xue Shao, as the general of the right guard, raised 200,000 Luoshui troops, and it is his duty to train the army to conduct military exercises and parades. Nowadays, there are many events at the border, and it is even more reasonable for General Xue to perform a military parade. Therefore, we don't need to be afraid, let alone speculate maliciously and slander! If those rumors just now reached the ears of General Xue, how would it be good? ”

Li Xian became even more nervous when he heard this-could you mean to say that Xue Shao could really be forced to rebel?!

"Pei Zhongshu, this matter doesn't have to be discussed in the court." Li Xian hurriedly stood up, "Let's go and ask the Queen Mother!" ”

Without waiting for Pei Yan to speak, Li Xian threw down the Manchu Dynasty and turned around and left, going straight to the harem!

Pei Yan saw the emperor leave in a hurry, and when he saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in a panic, he couldn't help but sneer, and then sighed again, "That's it, let's go and ask the Queen Mother to come forward!" ”
