This play staged on Longwei Road made everyone understand one thing, Xue Rengui, a high-profile comeback!

Xue Shao's heart thought of more things than others, that is, Xue Rengui after the defeat was degraded from Chang'an by Li Zhi, and he was gone for ten years; Now, Xue Rengui is recruited back by Wu Zetian, so Xue Rengui and even the southern ancestors of the Xue clan in Hedong should owe Wu Zetian a great favor.

But as soon as this scene on Longwei Road is staged today, everyone, including Xue Rengui himself, will think that the emperor has not forgotten his old ministers and reactivated Xue Rengui. The giver of this great favor immediately changed from Wu Zetian to Li Zhi.

"Stealing beams and changing pillars, Li Zhi is also a thief!" Xue Shao's heart wanted to laugh a little, but he felt it more...... I seem to have learned a little bit of thick black skills!

Today's court meeting is like twenty or thirty years ago, Li Zhi sits on the dragon chair, and his queen Wu is behind the curtain to listen to the government-the two saints are in the same dynasty.

It's just that the young couples of the year are now past the age of confusion. Wu Zetian is still hiding behind the bead curtain and obscuring his true face of Lushan, while Li Zhi is a sickly complexion in the twilight.

The shift where Xue Shao was standing was in the middle and back of the place, and it was not eye-catching. But he was dressed in an alternative Huadian embroidered dress, which made him a little eye-catching. So much so that after the routine visit, Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain deliberately asked, "Who is that person who dresses differently?" ”

As soon as Wu Zetian said this, everyone looked at Xue Shao.

"Qi Yue Tianhou Niangniang, it is Weichen, Xue Shao, a member of the military department!" Xue Shao stood up and came out of the train to pay homage.

Wu Zetian suddenly realized "oh", "You haven't customized a new court dress yet, have you?" ”

"Back to the queen of heaven, that's exactly the case!" Xue Shao said, "The minister had no choice but to put on his old official uniform and come to the court, willing to ask His Majesty to forgive his sins, and willing to ask the Queen of Heaven to forgive his sins!" ”

"That's it for now. Next time, not so. Wu Zetian didn't say much.

Li Zhi said suddenly: "Xue Shao, you are wearing the old court clothes prepared by Qianniu, Huadian embroidered clothes, right?" ”

"Back to your majesty, exactly!"

"I remember that this set of court clothes was designed and customized by Taiping himself, and later became the court clothes prepared by Fengchen Wei Qianniu." Li Zhi said, "Although this set of court clothes has been abolished, but this is the hard work of Taiping, and you are Taiping's concubine, I have permission for you to still wear this court dress in the future and come to the court!" ”

"Minister, Xie Majesty!" Xue Shao bowed his hand to worship, and said in surprise: Li Zhi is stiff today, come in front of the queen of heaven in public!

Wu Zetian didn't say much, but the ministers were surprised in their hearts: a Huadian embroidered dress was just an insignificant small detail, so Pei Yan attacked Xue Shao, and the queen of heaven said by name in public, and the emperor also opened an alternative special case for Xue Shao with great fanfare...... Today's court meeting, the atmosphere seems to be a little wrong! Could it be that the emperor is going to openly attack the queen of heaven and Pei Yan?

The pilgrimage began.

After the established opening speech, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao and other prime ministers successively proposed some military and political matters, allowing the ministers to express their opinions. Xue Shao didn't say anything about these things, but he learned some court etiquette. For example, when the ministers are vying to give opinions, the situation is a bit like a class in a modern school. Those who have opinions raise the wat board in their hands, and only those who are designated by the palace attendant Yushi can speak. After the prime minister made his statement, there were clear instructions, and the ministers of the relevant departments had to take notes - memorize the main points on the wat board so as not to forget, and they had to carry them out after they returned.

Halfway through the meeting, Xue Shao still didn't say a word, feeling that he was here to make soy sauce.

At this time, Li Zhi, who had been rarely speechful, spoke.

"I also have something to announce."

Everyone heard clearly, Li Zhi said "announcement", not let the ministers discuss it.

"Please make it clear." The ministers bowed together.

Li Zhi said: "Xue Rengui, where is it? ”

"The old minister is here!" An old and loud voice sounded, and Xue Rengui, who had silver hair, stood up, wearing the official uniform of a cyan eight-rank petty official.

"Xue Aiqing's name, everyone here must be like thunder; At the same time, Xue Aiqing's outstanding achievements for the Tang Dynasty in half of his life are also well-known in the annals of history. Li Zhi said, "I don't want to say more about the past. What I want to announce now is that I want to reuse Xue Aiqing once again, and entrust my country north of the Tang Dynasty to Xue Aiqing! - Xue Rengui, do you dare to accept the order? ”

"Lao Chen is still like forty years ago, he is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and he will never give up!" Xue Rengui knelt down, his voice was a little hoarse, obviously old tears.

"That's good...... Xue Aiqing, listen up! Li Zhi took a deep breath, perhaps because of a lack of qi or maybe a little excited, he said, "I want to restore your title as the Duke of Pingyang County and the commander of Shangzhu State, and appoint you as the general of the Left Leader Wei and the acting governor of the inspection school, and the commander-in-chief of Shuo Daiyun Sanzhou and the defense of Northern Xinjiang!" ”

"Old minister......" Xue Rengui choked with his head on the ground, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Quick, help the old general up!" Li Zhi hurriedly said, and the palace attendant Yushi, who was waiting on the left and right, hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Rengui up.

The ministers were all shocked by Xue Rengui's appointment, and Xue Shao was also a little surprised-the official was awarded the title of county duke, and for the courtiers, he was about to reach the top of the "national duke"; "Zhengerpin Shangzhu Country" is the highest rank of the commander, which is undoubtedly the highest honor that a military general can obtain on the battlefield; Sanpin Left led the army to lead the general Wei, which is the highest-ranking ministry official that a military general can obtain, except for some fictitious positions without troops. Of course, the most important thing is that the official position of "Acting Governor of the Prefecture of the Inspectorate" who leads the soldiers and horses of the three states and leads the defense of northern Xinjiang is almost equivalent to the position of "chief commander of the march" held by Pei Xingjian when he led the army out at that time, and the difference is only that one is the "commander-in-chief of the large military region" in peacetime and the other is the "commander-in-chief of operations" on the front line.

Li Zhi did not break his promise, he really reused Xue Rengui, and completely entrusted the entire northern gate of the Tang Dynasty to Xue Rengui!

"Where are Xue Chuyu and Xue Ne?" The consternation of the crowd was undecided, and Li Zhi called out again.

"The minister is here!"

The brothers stood up together, making everyone feel a little abnormal and strange that Xue Rengui's eldest son Xue Ne was wearing the green official uniform of the seventh-rank official, and the fifth son Xue Chuyu was wearing a crimson five-grade official uniform.

At this time, all the officials invariably thought of a question: because of a Northern Expedition, Xue Chuyu made miraculous achievements by Xue Shao's side and was reused and recommended by Pei Xingjian. And Xue Ne did not participate in the Northern Expedition at that time, even if he was the eldest son of a famous family, the seven-rank city gate lang was still the seven-rank city gate lang - it seems that following the right person and doing the right thing is far more important than the background and the descendant!

"Father Tiger can have a dog, I order your two brothers to go to Daizhou to assist your father and suppress the northern frontier!" Li Zhi announced in public, "The appointment of the two of you will be issued by the imperial court soon." ”

"Minister, thank you for your majesty!" The brothers also knelt down together and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Xue Shao sighed with relief, although Xue Rengui is famous, he is old after all, and he will not leave his father and son when he goes into battle, and Li Zhi's arrangements are still very thoughtful and humane. It can be seen from the official appointments of the Xue Ne brothers that Li Zhi made an arbitrary decision on the transfer of his brothers to Daizhou without consulting with the queen of heaven and the prime minister. Once he came back, he really showed a little bit of the emperor's courage!

"Your Majesty, the minister has advice!" At this time, Pei Yan raised the wat board in his hand.

Li Zhi frowned, but nodded. The palace attendant Yushi waved a "please" action with the wat board in his hand, Pei Yan stood up, and Lang Lang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu should not follow General Xue to Daizhou together!" ”

Everyone was shocked, Li Zhi was obviously a little impatient, but said with a pleasant face: "Zilong (Pei Yan's expression), tell me your opinion?" ”

Pei Yan bowed and said: "According to the Tang Dynasty, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews and other close relatives are not allowed to be officials in the same state, and they are not allowed to be generals in the same army. Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of forming a party and friends. In particular, the Metropolitan Governor's Office of Daizhou is also in charge of military and political power, and in order to avoid suspicion, it is even more taboo for father and son to be officials in the same state and generals in the same army! The minister knew that General Xue was a noble and upright person, and his two sons were also loyal and upright ministers, but this case attracted others to follow suit or be suspicious and slanderous. Please think twice! ”

When everyone heard this, Pei Yan was right. As the prime minister of a country, he does have the right and the obligation to persuade such things. But those who know the inside story have thought that Pei Yan is extremely afraid that the Xue clan will gather into a military group with heavy troops in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty, and then connect Xue Yuanchao and Xue Shao in the middle of the court, it will be enough to compete with Pei Yan, and may even form an unprecedentedly powerful emerging force that is enough to influence the military affairs of the imperial court!

At this time, Wu Zetian, who had been silent, couldn't sit still, and her voice came from behind the bead curtain-

"Your Majesty, what Pei Zilong said is very reasonable. Why don't you think twice? ”

At this time, many people in the civil and military dynasty raised the wat board in their hands. Anyone with a little eyesight can see that these people are all fans of the queen of heaven and Pei Yan. Therefore, without them making a sound, Li Zhi knew what they wanted to say!

At this time, Xue Rengui raised the bamboo wat board in his hand high, and his arms and silver beard were trembling violently!

Li Zhi raised his hand and pointed at Xue Rengui, "Aiqing has something to say, please say it quickly!" ”

Xue Rengui stood up and bowed to the top very solemnly, "Your Majesty, the queen of heaven, what Pei Xianggong said is very reasonable!" The old minister is old, but he can still open a three-stone bow and gallop thousands of miles at night to kill thieves, and he doesn't need others to do it for him at all! The dogs are all unscrupulous, the old minister is out of sight and out of mind, and he is unwilling to take them with him day and night, so as not to pollute my ears and eyes! - The old minister is willing to ask His Majesty to take back his order, don't let Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu follow the old minister to Daizhou! ”

Including Xue Shao, Pei Yan and Li Zhi, everyone was stunned and silent!

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui is really a minister of the society who is sympathetic to the monarch's heart!" Wu Zetian said generously and gratefully behind the bead curtain, "Why shouldn't Your Majesty allow him to fulfill his loyalty and patriotism?" ”

Li Zhi covered his forehead with his hand and sighed helplessly, "That's the case...... I adopted Pei Zilong and Xue Rengui's advice! ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers were together for the "enlightened advice" of His Majesty the Emperor and began to shout long live.

Xue Shao sighed in his heart: Previously, the government of the Tang Dynasty had been controlled too much by the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan and others. Now as the emperor, Li Zhi wants to have a sudden counterattack, and it is really difficult!.
