Chapter 141: Best Lobbyist
There was silence in the study, and all three of them fell silent.
At this moment, Xue Shao's heart was full of gratitude to Shangguan Wan'er, she really helped a lot this time!
On the surface, the eldest brother promised to "take into account the overall situation and focus on marriage", but it was just an expedient measure to stop the boiling, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not repeat history in the future. Because the hatred and suspicion of Wu Zetian in the eldest brother's heart have not been eliminated at all. But today, Shangguan Wan'er showed up to tell the truth, and it was possible to fundamentally disarm the "time bomb"!
A moment later.
Xue Yi said: "Erlang, Shangguan girl, it was Empress Wu's henchman Xu Jingzong who was in charge of handling the Shangguan case at that time. For a traitor like Xu Jingzong, the bigger the case is handled and the more people are punished, the greater his credit. At that time, there were many people involved in the case, and even the abolished prince Li Zhong was innocently involved and killed, and the Xue family was also involved. At that time, the best result of our Xue family was also exiled to Lingnan. Fortunately, thanks to His Majesty the Emperor, our family was just demoted from the capital! β
Nothing more?
Xue Shao smiled bitterly and did not reply, the eldest brother's words were obviously exculpating the emperor and pushing the responsibility on Xu Jingzong and Wu Zetian. After all, he is a doctor who has been educated by Confucianism, so if he understands it in his heart, he can't be expected to scold the emperor in public.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and didn't say much. The two of them invariably did not refute, and there was quite a tacit understanding.
"That's it, there is no need to talk about those old things." Seeing that neither of them had replied, Xue Yi waved his robe sleeves and sat down, and said, "Erlang, now you are about to become a colt." Let's put aside grievances and focus on the present! β
"Zhilu said, big brother." Xue Shao nodded, and said in his heart that it was you who should let go of grievances, right!
"Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to face the saint for my brother." Xue Yi said, "I just don't know, should I go to see the Queen of Heaven first, or go to see His Majesty first?" β
These words were obviously asking Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said: "The order for the prince to return to Beijing was written by Wan'er herself. His Majesty is now living in the harem of the Ming Dynasty to recuperate, and generally does not summon ministers. After the prince disperses tomorrow morning, go to the imperial study of the Xuanzheng Palace to see the queen of heaven! β
"It's fine." Xue Yi nodded.
Xue Shao said: "Big brother, you have come thousands of miles away to work hard, it is not too late to rest for two days and then enter the palace to face the saint." β
"The second brother still needs time to mediate?" Xue Yi asked.
Xue Shao nodded.
"Okay, then according to what the second brother said, two days later, I will re-enter the palace for my brother. As long as the queen of heaven does not blame. Xue Yi said.
"Big brother, don't worry, such a small matter is taken care of by the Shangguan girl." Xue Shao smiled.
"The prince and the prince can rest assured, Wan'er will definitely try her best to help." Shangguan Wan'er bowed her hands.
Xue Yi nodded with a slightly surprised expression, looking at this situation, there seems to be a tacit understanding between my second brother and Shangguan Wan'er?
"You two can discuss official business, I won't bother." Xue Yi stood up, "Farewell!" β
"Big brother!" Xue Shao also stood up and arched his hand, "The younger brother will go back to the palace to do some things later, maybe he won't rush home tonight, please forgive the eldest brother!" β
Xue Yi nodded with a smile, "As an official of the imperial court, it is my duty to be diligent in official duties. You don't have to worry about it at home, even if you go and get busy. β
"Thank you, big brother."
Xue Yi left, and Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Miss Shangguan, thank you so much today." Xue Shao said.
"Why do you have to say thank you?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Wan'er just told some truths. β
"It's not easy to tell that kind of truth." Xue Shao said, "Thank you, really. β
"Childe, you are really not easy...... Shangguan Wan'er sighed softly and said, "The grievances of the previous generation are often shackles that we can't break free. To be honest, Wan'er has been and has indeed been in pain, struggling, and hesitating. But then Wan'er calmed down, because there is no right or wrong in many things, only victory and defeat. Only the living are qualified to think about and comment on all the gains and losses. β
"A pinpoint to the point, great wisdom." Xue Shao nodded in approval and smiled, "It's too heavy, let's not discuss it anymore." In the words of Miss Shangguan, isn't that a bad scenery? β
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly giggled and said, "Okay, let's get back to the truth and say some official business!" ββThe queen of heaven ordered Wan'er to send a private message to her son, saying that Li Shangdan did not go to His Majesty to verify the complaint. The queen of heaven also decided to take a step back, and for the time being, she would not set up the lecture hall in the north ya, but changed it to the Xuanwu Hall of the Daming Palace in the past when the north gate scholars compiled books and discussions. That place wasn't too far from Beiya. In addition, the Queen of Heaven has asked His Majesty to promote Li Xiantong to General Zuo Fengchenwei, and Li Xiaoyi, the former general of the inspection school, will no longer concurrently serve. Of course, for the time being, it is only a proposal, and the specific appointment may still be discussed. β
Xue Shao nodded with his eyebrows furrowed, "It seems that the martial arts academy is facing a lot of resistance, and the queen of heaven has to make compromises." Promoting Li Xiantong to appease Li Shangdan was done cleverly. Li Shangdan also knew each other, and he didn't really run to verify the complaint, otherwise it would be a complete tear in his face. β
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Why doesn't Gongzi ask, who will spend the position of Zhonglang General left after Li Xiantong's promotion?" β
Xue Shao said with a smile: "The girl also said that Li Xiantong wants to be promoted to General Zuo Fengchenwei, and it still needs to be resolved." β
"So, Gongzizhi is not just a middle school?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled.
Xue Shao smiled and didn't answer, thinking that the meaning of 'to be dealt with' may be a cheap favor, and it is difficult to say whether it will be implemented in the end. After all, Wu Zetian didn't really want to promote Li Xiantong.
"The queen of heaven really has a vision!" Shangguan Wan'er said, "Actually, at that time, Wan'er asked on behalf of Gongzi, whether the vacant position of Zhonglang General was reserved for Xue Gongzi?" The queen of heaven said, Wan'er, you have to underestimate Xue Shao, he is not a mere four products and one middle man. β
Xue Shao smiled and said, "To be maneuvered, this variable is big." Not to mention anything else, there are many people in Zuo Fengchenwei who want to compete with Li Xiantong for the position of general. When I first arrived, I didn't want to get involved in these internal power struggles. Right now, I just want to take care of the martial arts academy. By the way, how is Xue Chuyu's matter? β
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Since the queen of heaven has taken the initiative to back down and show favor and appeasement, Li Shangdan doesn't dare to do things too much. Moreover, even Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has taken action, where is there any reason why this little thing can't be done? β
"Arsenic is used in medicine, and it has a miraculous effect!" Xue Shaoha's big smile, Princess Taiping's bad temper can finally be transformed into positive energy. I don't know how she played tricks in front of Li Zhi and Li Shangdan, that scene must be very funny!
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and whispered: "Childe, it's not like the queen of heaven can't help Li Shangdan." β
"I understand." Xue Shao nodded, Shangguan Wan'er is persuading me not to lose confidence in the queen of heaven, she is really loyal to the queen of heaven. In fact, I know very well that Li Shangdan represents the emperor Li Zhi. Li Zhi dragged the forbidden army to the death, and the military power was not allowed to be touched by anyone, who would dare to make a mistake? This time, if you want to promote the martial arts of Beiya, it is just a temptation of the queen of heaven. found that the other party is a hard stubble with a very hard waist, avoid its edge to appease and paralyze it, and then seek a long-term plan - the strategy is very appropriate!
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "What's more, the Queen of Heaven has agreed with His Majesty to add Pei Xingjian's loose official to the second grade to show his special merits and honors." Pei Xingjian's wife Kudi is a continuation of the string, and she has not been titled before, and the queen of heaven is ready to officially canonize Kudi as the second-grade Huayang County lady, which is a legitimate match with Pei Xingjian. β
Xue Shao nodded, appeased Li Shangdan, and wooed Pei Xingjian, these are all requests I made to the queen of heaven, and she did it so quickly. As the Lord, it is not easy for her to do her best to meet the requirements of her courtiers.
"That's all for the words from the Queen of Heaven." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Gongzi Fang Cai said that he wanted to enter the palace, but I don't know what happened?" β
Xue Shao said: "I still have some crucial household matters to take care of. I want to see Princess Taiping, can you contact me for me? β
Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess always wants to meet with the son, but the son has no time. After Wan'er returned to the palace, she immediately informed His Highness that she could now enter and leave the forbidden palace freely, and I believe that she would come to Furong Garden to meet her son soon. β
"Don't wait for her to come to the Hibiscus Garden, I'll go to the palace." Xue Shao said, "Just ask the princess to come to the Dragon Head Pond Wuyue Pavilion to meet me!" β
"It's fine." Shangguan Wan'er stood up, "Since the matter is urgent, Childe, let's leave now!" β
"There's Miss Lao Shangguan!"
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, her eyes were crooked like the moon, and she said softly: "Shangguan and Xue were once world friends with the same fate, why should the son always see each other?" β
Xue Shao smiled: "That's a family?" β
"It's okay for Childe to think so. It's just Wan'er...... Can't climb high! Shangguan Wan'er chuckled.
"Then I'll climb you, right?" Xue Shao walked out with a smile and said, "Prime Minister, don't let you shave your eyebrows!" β
"Childe, don't make fun of Wan'er anymore, let's go!"
Xue Shao instructed Yuenu to let her serve her brother and sister-in-law, and then called Li Xianyuan to ride a horse together and left home.
Not long after he went out, the demon hurriedly chased after him and shouted the fairy brother in the back, but unfortunately Xue Shao was in a hurry and couldn't hear it. The demon stood at the door crying and wiping her tears and refused to go home, and the moon slave persuaded her for a long time to no avail, so she simply picked her up on her back and carried it back directly.
The group entered the palace and parted ways, and Xue Shao went to the Wuyue Pavilion of Longshou Pond and waited patiently.
The eldest brother's level is over for the time being. At least it is certain that he will not express any dissatisfaction at the moment of marriage because of old things. Then there is only one question left now, I hope Wu Zetian will not attack his sister-in-law Xiao again. It's as much a matter of politics as it is a matter of domestic affairs, and it is obviously not appropriate for a man to be a lobbyist. Then Princess Taiping, who gave birth to a pair of clever mouths and is the most favored by the queen, is undoubtedly the best candidate for lobbyists.
