Chapter 375: Mo Dao has no confidant
With a thought in his heart, Xue Shao's brain spun quickly.
What kind of method and what kind of reason to use to go to Qiuseyuan to meet Shangguan Wan'er?
The two places of the Martial Arts Academy and the Qiuse Courtyard are full of people, Xue Shao is about to become a concubine, Shangguan Wan'er is a woman in the inner court, it is taboo for such two people to meet in private, and if it is serious, they can be charged with a crime of confusing the harem, and no one can eat and walk around.
Xue Shao blinked his eyes, could he pretend to be a midnight snitch like he did at the beginning, and ran to meet her privately?
Li Xianyuan looked at Xue Shao's expression on the side, and smiled secretly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xue Shao asked.
"Childe wants to pick up a conversation?" Li Xianyuan smiled very lewdly, nodded again and again, "Understand, understand, human nature." For most of the past six months, everyone in the Martial Arts Academy has been thinking about such things every day. ”
"......" Xue Shao was speechless, glanced at Li Xianyuan and stopped paying attention to him, and even wanted to find a reason to blow him away.
"However, it is too easy for Childe to see her." Li Xianyuan said.
Xue Shao's eyes lit up, "What do you say?" ”
"Since Shangguan Wan'er left Qiuse Academy, she has been ordered to serve as a teaching assistant doctor of the Martial Arts Academy, specializing in teaching literature and poetry." Li Xianyuan said with a smile, "Count it up, isn't Shangguan Wan'er a subordinate of Gongzi?" Although she, a teaching assistant doctor, has only appeared once in the Martial Arts Academy for more than half a year, if Gongzi summons her, how can she not come? Outsiders, how can they gossip? ”
Xue Shao's heart was dark, but he remained silent.
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Xiaosheng, send someone to invite immediately!"
Li Xianyuan trotted away, Xue Shao secretly punched, this half-hung god stick, finally broke out of character and did something that made my heart happy!
Xue Shao was still standing at the window, looking at Shangguan Wan'er from afar. In another place, Shangguan Wan'er was still strolling in the peach forest with fallen leaves and flying leaves, but she raised her head from time to time to glance at Xue Shao.
Every time Shangguan Wan'er looked up, Xue Shao felt that the heartstrings in his heart were trembling slightly.
It's clear...... It's the feelings of first love!
After a while, a little eunuch who was serving in the Martial Arts Courtyard ran to the Qiuseyuan and came to Shangguan Wan'er, bowed down and said a few words, Shangguan Wan'er walked into the room of the Qiuseyuan, and the little eunuch came back by himself.
Xue Shao's heart couldn't help but tighten slightly, why, she refused to come?
After a while, Li Xianyuan's footsteps sounded in the corridor again, and Xue Shao walked to the door and asked, "How?" ”
"Why should Childe be nervous?" Li Xianyuan said with a strange smile, "The official summons, is there a reason for the subordinates to come to the court?" Shangguan Wan'er was willing to invite the son to meet in the flower garden of the east courtyard of the martial arts courtyard. ”
"The flower garden of the East Courtyard?" Xue Shao frowned, "Isn't that the residence of the Book Envoy?" How can we meet each other? ”
Li Xianyuan smiled strangely again, "Childe, it is precisely because of the many people that we can meet." If not, does Childe still want to invite her to your official office room and close the door to me? ”
"Get out of here!"
"Yes!"
Li Xianyuan smiled and left.
Xue Shao's heart was slightly refreshed, and he smiled secretly and breathed lightly. Turning his head to look at the window, he saw Shangguan Wan'er walking out of Qiuseyuan.
At this time, she had changed into a golden-white bearded men's dress, wearing a black gauze on her head, and she looked like a typical female envoy of the inner court.
It is extraordinarily capable and free, especially heroic.
"It is said that people rely on clothes and makeup, but Shangguan Wan'er is always suitable for heavy makeup and light makeup, and she looks good in anything!" Xue Shao smiled slightly, picked up two books from the bookshelf and walked out of the room and went downstairs.
Just as the class was over, Xiao Zhizhong walked out of the class just in time to see Xue Shao turning out of the corridor.
"Xue Gongzi, are you back?" Xiao Zhizhong was overjoyed when he saw Xue Shao, and hurriedly came forward to pay a visit.
"Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite." Xue Shao smiled, "How, are you still used to it during my absence?" ”
"Back to Gongzi's words, I've long been used to it." Xiao Zhizhong smiled bitterly, "It's just that the teaching is not new for days, and it is inevitable that it will be a little boring." This hospital is called the Lecture Martial Arts Academy, but it seems to have become a county and township classroom, and it is not half angry. Under ......"
"I understand." Xue Shao nodded and comforted him with a smile, and said, "If you stay up for a few more days, there will be new moves in the Martial Arts Academy." I'm just afraid you'll be busy there. ”
"That's the case, but that's great!" Xiao Zhizhong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Young people, who is not full of ambition to do something, who wants to guard a pool of stagnant water all day long like an old pedant? Xue Shao understood Xiao Zhizhong's feelings very well, so he soothed him for a while, and asked him where Yuan Wanqing went?
Xiao Zhizhong said that about a month ago, Yuan Wanqing went home to care for the elderly because of illness.
"Going home to retire?" Xue Shao blinked, this was definitely not Yuan Wanqing's style. This old man is old, his eyes are not good, and his temper is strange, but he is still full of passion and desire in his career. According to his personality, unless it is really the day when he is going to wear a shroud and be buried, he will never take the initiative to resign and return to the field.
Xiao Zhizhong's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.
Xue Shaozhi said that there must be a hidden secret in Yuan Wanqing's resignation, but there are many people on the scene and it is inconvenient to gossip. So Xue Shao didn't ask any more questions, only chatted with Xiao Zhizhong for a few words, and left.
The territory of the Xuanwu Hall is still quite large, and a new flower garden has been opened in the east courtyard and transformed into a dormitory, which is specially used by the scholars who study here. And that flower garden has become a place of relaxation frequented by the students, and people often come and go.
Xue Shao walked all the way over and met many familiar faces. The little eunuch who had just been sent to Qiuseyuan to invite Shangguan Wan'er was waiting for Xue Shao at the entrance of the flower garden, and when he saw him coming, he led the way and brought Xue Shao into the garden.
The little eunuch took Xue Shao all the way through the shaded flower beds and the stone paths of the streams, and walked for a short time with twists and turns, and finally stopped. A pavilion is located between the ink-colored mountain stones that are artificially piled through, there are bees and butterflies dancing in the autumn chrysanthemums on all sides, and the stream under the pavilion is gurgling and pleasant.
It's really a quiet and wonderful place.
Shangguan Wan'er stood in the middle of the pavilion with her eyebrows bowed.
The little eunuch stopped, "Childe, please." ”
Xue Shao walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face, "The girl is exempt." ”
"Gongzi Xie." Shangguan Wan'er put down her hand, raised her head, and looked at Xue Shao.
Xue Shao was also staring at her, his eyes touched, and each smiled slightly.
Everything is in plain sight.
Xue Shao glanced sideways at the little eunuch not far away, and said, "I just returned to the Lecture Martial Academy, and I heard from my subordinates that the Shangguan girl is now also a teaching assistant doctor of the Lecture Martial Arts Academy." It just so happened that I wanted to make some moves in the Lecture Martial Arts Academy, and to make some changes in personnel and affairs. Therefore, I specially invited Miss Shangguan to listen to your opinion. ”
The little eunuch outside the pavilion pricked up his ears to listen, but only heard Xue Shao say such words.
Shangguan Wan'er immediately replied: "Gongzi is the master of the Martial Academy, and of course all major matters are mastered by Gongzi. As a teaching assistant, Wan'er will definitely do her best to help. I just don't know, what affairs and personnel changes does Childe want to do? ”
Xue Shao said: "First of all, the site of the Martial Arts Academy will be relocated. After all, the Xuanwu Palace is the place of the harem, and it is inconvenient for many men to live here. ”
"Where does Childe want to move to?"
"Where the Beiya Forbidden Army is located, near the Xuanwu School."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled knowingly, "Childe's move is very appropriate." ”
Obedient and listening, Xue Shao's heart couldn't help but light up, "How can you see it?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er also glanced sideways at the little eunuch and said, "The prince is about to get married after returning from the expedition, and in order to appease Her Royal Highness the princess, it is reasonable to temporarily leave the military and become a central civilian." Childe's young heroes are hot-blooded and heroic, and if they change to ordinary civilian jobs, they may feel depressed. However, if the military academy is moved to Beiya, it is still to rely on the army, and it may be able to do a lot. ”
Promising?
Hearing these four words, Xue Shao's heart thumped.
Obviously, Shangguan Wan'er was using an extremely obscure method to appease Xue Shao, persuading him not to be impatient, not to be depressed because he was dismissed from his military position, but to run a martial arts academy with peace of mind - this may be the intention of the Queen of Heaven.
Xue Shao thought to herself, it seems that Shangguan Wan'er had indeed known the news for a long time, and she also wanted to inform me earlier, but it was difficult to communicate with the news inside and outside the palace. If I had seen her earlier, I probably wouldn't have been as shocked and indignant as I am today...... No wonder she said to me when she accompanied me by the martial arts academy that day, "The martial arts lecture is very different" and asked me to see it myself.
How could I ignore such an obvious hint?
"Wise girl, please ask me." Xue Shao continued to inquire and said, "How should the Martial Arts Academy develop in the future, how will it gain a foothold in Beiya, and what kind of achievements will it have?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, glanced at the little eunuch standing with his back to them outside the pavilion, and quietly stretched out his hands to hold one of Xue Shao's hands.
Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, and he reached out to shake her back. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er opened his fingers and aimed the tip of his index finger at his palm.
It turned out that Shangguan Wan'er wanted to write in the palm of his hand.
"Previously, the Martial Arts Academy only taught the Lantian secret code, which was monotonous and boring." Shangguan Wan'er said as she wrote and drew in the palm of Xue Shao's hand, "If Gongzi moves the martial arts academy to Beiya, he may call for the organization of the Beiya forbidden army to hold a grand event similar to the martial arts lecture of a thousand cows." Perhaps, it is also possible to summon the outstanding talents among them to the Martial Arts Academy to learn the art of war and martial arts to help them reach a higher level? ”
Xue Shao heard it, is this for me to open a military academy of the Tang Empire?
This is not the point, the point is that Shangguan Wan'er wrote these words in Xue Shao's palm - "The hurricane has passed the post, and the grass remains."
It's still these eight words, what Guan Wan'er said to Xue Shao that day in Longshou Pond!
At that time, Xue Shao just thought that the imperial court was about to undergo a big change, and a big storm would come. Listening to this today, Xue Shao can be regarded as fully understanding what she means - this big storm and big change must be aimed at the army!
In other words, the Second Sage and the imperial court will take advantage of the end of this Northern Expedition to reorganize the army of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there will definitely be many generals who will be laid off or even purged, and there will also be a group of newcomers who will emerge.
Xue Shao thought about it carefully, it was worth the second saint and the imperial court to be so cautious and aggressive, it must have involved important people in the army. Could it be that the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan want to take advantage of Li Zhi's aggravation of his illness to establish a new army pattern? If this is the case, then in the near future, there will be a military team that can closely unite around the queen of heaven and the prime ministers, standing above the court.
…… Pei Xingjian, is he finally stepping down?
"Childe Tianzong is talented, both civil and military. Wan'er is convinced that whether you are in the army or an official in the center, you will be able to make a career. Shangguan Wan'er continued to say these innocuous words while writing in Xue Shao's palm.
This time, she wrote down these eight words - "Wait for patience, Seon loses his horse." ”
At this point, Xue Shao has completely understood.
It is precisely because the army is about to undergo a major reorganization and purge that Wu Zetian wants to cut me off my military post and choose me out of this great storm, so that I will not be implicated.
In other words, Wu Zetian is using a special technique to "protect" me!
Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and in turn wrote a few words in Shangguan Wan'er's palm.
"A confidant is like you, which is enough to comfort your life."
