Chapter 162: Dog-headed Strategist

The two walked outside the Danqi, Wu Zetian avoided the idle eyes and ears, and said to Xue Shao: "Xue Shao, the Martial Arts Academy will start teaching tomorrow, right?" ”

Xue Shao replied yes.

Wu Zetian said: "This palace will add two more people to you, one Song Zhiwen and one Xiao Zhizhong." ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, Xiao Zhizhong could understand that this was the person mentioned by Princess Taiping during the "Three Invitations", he was the cousin of the sister-in-law Xiao and the great-grandson of the emperor Xiao Deyan. The queen of heaven wants to transfer him from Xianyang Wei to Chang'an to be a Beijing official to show her relief and kindness to the surname Xiao. But there is no suitable official position for a while, and it is reasonable to put Xiao Zhizhong in the martial arts academy to settle down temporarily. But Song Zhi asked...... Pei Xingjian had already vetoed this person in public for the first time, and Wu Zetian also knew the truth, why did she mention it again?

"What, is there a problem?" Wu Zetian saw that Xue Shao did not respond, and asked.

"No problem." Xue Shao replied. Even if there is a problem, it can only be digested internally. Who knows what way Song Zhi asked to intercede, anyway, it won't be Yuan Wanqing.

"There is one more thing, this palace reminds you, you must be cautious in the future!" Wu Zetian said, "Taiping showed me a request and two poems today. I don't think I need to say more, you naturally know where they came from. ”

"Yes, the minister knows the way." Xue Shao had no choice but to tell the truth.

"That's where you're not careful." Wu Zetian said, "This palace has already said that I don't want any conflicts between you and Taiping, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi." It's only been a few days, and you guys have come to the palace because of Shangguan Wan'er's matter. Playing and making trouble is like a child, what kind of system has it become? ”

"Yes, the minister is guilty!" Xue Shao bowed his hand and bowed.

"Guilt aside, but you're definitely at fault." Wu Zetian said, "This palace knows that the two of you are good friends with Shangguan Wan'er, and this palace has always valued Shangguan Wan'er. However, how the palace should view and deal with the issue of Shangguan Wan'er is a matter of the inner court, and it is within the purview of me, the queen, and there is no need for anyone to mix it. It is impossible for anyone who wants to covet an inner court woman like Shangguan Wan'er to succeed, do you understand? ”

"Yes, I understand." Xue Shao replied, thinking that Wu Zetian might be more angry with Wu San's thoughts about Shangguan Wan'er. But at the same time, she was also more angry with me and Princess Taiping, because of Shangguan Wan'er's matter, she sued Wu Sansi in front of the queen of heaven.

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "This palace wants to remind you that people need to be cautious in the court. Everyone has their own duty, and don't meddle in what you shouldn't do. Take this Shangguan Wan'er's matter as an example, you dare to interfere in the affairs of the inner court within the purview of the palace, if the palace has to care, you can let the imperial history govern you! - Got it? ”

"The minister knows that he is wrong! In the future, we must be cautious! Xue Shao bowed his hand and thought to himself, Wu Zetian might be a little angry. But it will definitely not be because of Shangguan Wan'er's matter itself, but because of ...... Princess Taiping and I are interested in targeting Wu Sansi!

"Do you really understand?" Wu Zetian looked at Xue Shao with a slight frown.

"The ministers will come to the mansions of Zhou Guogong and Liang Guogong in person, send a sticker to ask for advice, and invite the two of them to come to the minister's tail-burning banquet." Xue Shao said.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly, revealing an expression of "this is about the same", and said: "Xue Shao, this palace has high hopes for you so much, but this time you have made this palace a little disappointed. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi don't have the talent and ability of you, but the biggest advantage of the two of them is that they have no second heart for me. This palace desperately hopes that you and Taiping can reach a tacit understanding and sincere unity with his two brothers, and become a trusted and reusable arm of this palace together - how can you attack each other because of a mere Shangguan Wan'er? ”

"The queen of heaven blames her very much, and the minister has miscalculated." Xue Shao bowed his hand and thought to himself, in your opinion, Shangguan Wan'er is just an insignificant "medieval" female official, who can be replaced or even given up and sacrificed at any time; But Shangguan Wan'er is not a "mere melody" for me and Princess Taiping! …… Especially for me!

"Shangguan Wan'er's matter, that's the end of it. But you and Taiping have to remember that the next is not an example. Wu Zetian said, "Of course, there is something wrong with Wu Sansi's behavior, and this palace will teach him a lesson." In short, in the future, you should not cause any contradictions and conflicts over anything. Otherwise, the two sides of this palace will not be spared! ”

"Yes, the minister wrote it down!"

Wu Zetian took out the invitation from his sleeve, "Give it back to you." ”

Xue Shao took it with a wry smile, "Queen of Heaven, this thing is not a minister's!" ”

"I'll leave it to you." Wu Zetian didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Xue Shao took the invitation and patted it in his hand, crying and laughing, full of Venus and question marks...... You have to pay the price for everything, and it is also cost-effective to completely solve the historical problems of Shangguan Wan'er in exchange for a scolding.

But what does Wu Zetian mean by handing over this request to me?

What should I do?

This is really a hot mountain, dare to love Wu Zetian is testing me!

Xue Shao went back to Danqi and sat down, and listened to Xue Yi and Li Zhi's conversation. After a while, the Xiao family also came to the Xuanzheng Palace, and wore a life woman court dress to enter the rhino mound. After the ceremony, Princess Taiping was called to perform the etiquette.

Princess Taiping behaved quite naturally when she walked into Danqi to meet the Xue couple, although she was not as cautious and humble as the daughter-in-law of ordinary people, but at least she fulfilled the etiquette in a decent manner and gave the Xue couple enough respect.

The Xue couple were very frightened when they were worshiped by the princess. While marrying into a royal family has all the advantages, it also has many disadvantages. The princess is the lord, the horse and her family are all ministers, and the courtesy of the lord is naturally great. But out of traditional etiquette, the princess sometimes has to bow back to the courtiers, which is very contradictory.

The key to how to deal with this contradiction lies in whether the princess can put it off the shelf and follow the traditional Chinese moral etiquette. Now it seems that Xue Shao's previous "training" has been quite effective. Judging from the eyes and expressions of Xue Yi and Xiao, the two of them both "breathed a sigh of relief". They should be satisfied with Princess Taiping's performance, and the first impression should be pretty good.

Next, according to the etiquette system, the parents will discuss the details of the wedding together, and Xue Shao and Princess Taiping do not have to participate in it. So the two avoided together, and Princess Taiping immediately called someone to call Xue Shao over, and the two met in the imperial garden.

Originally, Xue Shao thought that Princess Taiping was going to mess around like she did in the morning, but she didn't expect that as soon as they met, she would be angry and furious.

"Xue Lang, it's all your bad idea!" Princess Taiping said angrily, "The queen mother scolded me today!" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly and showed the invitation, "Why shouldn't I?" ”

"Huh?" Princess Taiping was taken aback when she saw the invitation, "How did it get to you?" ”

"The queen of heaven let me deal with this thing." Xue Shao's expression was embarrassed, "You say, how should this be handled?" ”

Princess Taiping blinked her eyes and whispered, "The queen mother mainly blames the two of us for suing Wu Sansi, and is more angry when she sees that we don't talk to her in private. Since this invitation has reached your hand, you will get off the donkey down the slope and take this invitation to Wu Sansi's house for a banquet to show that you are repairing! ”

Xue Shao suddenly cried and laughed, "Wu Sansi invited Shangguan Wan'er, what am I going to do?" ”

Princess Taiping laughed strangely, "Presumably, Wu Sansi was waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to throw her arms with great anticipation, but unexpectedly a Xue Shao came, hehe!" That scene must have been very funny! ”

"When did you still think about having fun?" Xue Shao glared at her and said, "I can't go, otherwise Wu Sansi will be too embarrassed, and he may even be scared crazy." I think it's better for you to go on behalf of Shangguan Wan'er. ”

"Me again? For what? Princess Taiping asked.

Xue Shao said: "Think about it, Wu San thinks about calculating Shangguan Wan'er, a female official in the inner court, at worst, this is a crime of causing chaos in the harem, which is enough to behead!" I don't know Wu Sansi at all if I have never met, if I, a stranger, go to visit with an invitation, Wu Sansi will suspect that I am holding a handle and trying to blackmail him. He will still wonder, what is the relationship between this man and Shangguan Wan'er? He wondered if I had already told someone else about it. - In short, my appearance will make Wu Sansi deeply jealous and quite uneasy, so there is no need to mention any reconciliation and repair. ”

"I see what you mean." Princess Taiping nodded and said, "If I go to Wu Sansi's house with the advice in hand, he will only be surprised at most." I am the same age as Shangguan Wan'er, and I have had a personal relationship, and he knows the truth, so it is not surprising that I want to get this request from Shangguan Wan'er. When I saw Wu Sansi, I told him the benefits and disadvantages in a few words, so that he could be alerted, and only treated this matter as a housework and let it go away. Since then, Wu Sansi owes this palace a favor, and at the same time, he will understand that Shangguan Wan'er is a person from this palace, and he will definitely not dare to do anything coveted again! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Your Highness is really getting smarter and smarter, I didn't hurt you in vain!" ”

"You're here again!" Princess Taiping rolled her eyes angrily, "I'm just an errand princess, and I'm often bullied by you and suffer a lot because of your bad ideas!" - It's not good to keep it all this time! ”

Xue Shaoha's big smile said, "Your Highness, the legendary dog-headed military master is my one!" ”

"No shame!" Princess Taiping scolded twice, smiled treacherously, and said, "Xue Lang, I will kiss you!" ”

"Bragging!" Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "Princess Guangyu, you know that Ye Gong is a good dragon!" ”

"Phew, bragging, no one can brag about you, a kobold strategist!" Princess Taiping said angrily, "Don't believe it? - Let's try! ”

"Say yes first, don't bite!"

"Say yes first, don't touch your chest!"

"......" Xue Shao suddenly became messy in the wind, is this a fight in the ring, and there are so many rules for the game? .
