Shangguan Wan'er was still a little surprised when she saw Xue Shao. There were many noisy people in the office, so she invited Xue Shao outside the door, and the two of them talked under the porch.

Today's Shangguan Wan'er is really plain and plainly dressed, no different from the most ordinary court envoys here. But her stunning beauty and outstanding temperament still make her extraordinary. When Xue Shao looked at her for the first time, he suddenly woke up in his heart, and inexplicably remembered the flying fairy jade girl set up in front of his concentric hall.

No wonder Xue Shao always felt familiar and cordial when he saw that sculpture, it turned out that the facial features and figure of that statue had a bit of Shangguan Wan'er's charm!

- Could it be that Princess Taiping saw that Shangguan Wan'er refused to act as a concubine, so she deliberately arranged it?

When this strange thought appeared in his heart, Xue Shao's eyes when he looked at Shangguan Wan'er also changed slightly. Shangguan Wan'er's expression was as indifferent as ever, but a casual look of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly took the initiative to provoke the topic and broke the silence.

"Xue Fuma came here to look for me, why did you have to do it?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Xue Shao also restrained his thoughts and said, "I have relocated the Martial Arts Academy to the Beiya School, and I specially informed the girl. In addition, the diet and living of the military academy had always been arranged by the inner court, but now the site of the academy has been moved beyond the palace walls, and those people have not followed. At present, the diet and daily life of a group of us are taken care of by the Huotou Army arranged by Cheng Wuting, but we can't always trouble others. Therefore, I would like to ask the girl, can I allocate some manpower in the inner court to help the martial arts academy take care of internal affairs? If it doesn't work, I'll find another way to hire people outside. ”

"It's easy to do." Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and promised very surely, "The queen of heaven has already instructed, and it is necessary to give Xue Yuma the greatest convenience." Now it's just a little bit of fireman and kitchen workers, and Wan'er will definitely do her best to arrange it. ”

"Then there's Miss Lao."

The two chatted about some trivial things, which were somewhat related to the work of the Martial Arts Academy.

In fact, the two of them knew it in their hearts, and these things couldn't be done at all, Xue Shao personally came to Shangguan Wan'er and said, just send someone to run and spread the message. After looking for an excuse to find something to talk about, the more the two chatted, the more embarrassed they became, but the words in their hearts were always unspeakable.

Xue Shao really wanted to ask, why did Shangguan Wan'er refuse to act as a concubine? But Xue Shao felt that once he asked these words, it would be even more embarrassing, and even the two of them would not be able to talk as calmly as they did now.

Shangguan Wan'er, a smart person, of course knew what Xue Shao was thinking. She never mentioned the past, but just chatted with Xue Shao about some trivial work matters with questions and answers.

The two of them were very tacitly guarding that boundary, and did not talk about the topics that should be talked about the most, the most wanted to talk about, but at the same time the most untouchable.

After a while, Xue Shao said goodbye and left. Shangguan Wan'er didn't say much, she turned around and entered her official office, and continued to bury her head in her business.

When he walked out of the courtyard, Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh.

Yue Nu said cautiously: "If the prince likes Shangguan Wan'er, he will directly send someone to say that he will be hired at home as a side room." Why sigh so long? ”

"Who said I like Shangguan Wan'er?" Xue Shao's face was flat.

The moon slave closed her mouth in shock, blinked her eyes again and again, and didn't dare to say a word.

"On the day of the wedding, you and others framed me, and I haven't settled the account with you yet!" Xue Shao snorted angrily, "If you dare to chew your tongue more, you will be punished for two crimes!" ”

"Childe forgives the sin, the moon slave knows that he is wrong......" Standing at the gate of the courtyard, the moon slave was about to kneel on the ground.

Xue Shao grabbed her, "With such a large audience, you must have forgotten that you are now a seventh-rank military attaché, and you are still wearing the bright light armor on your body - don't lose the face of this armor!" ”

"Childe, the moon slave really knows that he is wrong...... Please, don't drive me away! The moon slave didn't kneel, but he lowered his head and choked, and his eyes were wet.

"I thought I wouldn't talk about you, you'd be sensible yourself." Xue Shao said coldly, "But unexpectedly, you are more and more ridiculous every time." In Black Sand City, you help Ai Yan recruit troops; When I returned to Chang'an, you helped her frame me - what is the conspiracy between the two of you? ”

"Nope! Childe, there really isn't! The moon slave exclaimed nervously.

"Don't scream!" Xue Shao snorted, "Think about it yourself, and when you go back, you have to tell me everything one by one - if there is any omission, you don't have to recognize me anymore!" ”

"Yes......" Moonslave's tears rolled down, dripping on the breastplate and clanging.

Xue Shao was a little unbearable to see her like this, but he deliberately didn't coax her coldly. For a long time, Yue Nu has been Xue Shao's most trusted person, but she has made mistakes one after another, and even has a hint of suspicion of stealing, and this kind of sign must be strangled in the cradle. Otherwise, the spoiled moon slave is no longer the loyal moon slave of the past, so what's the use of keeping her?

Without saying a word, Xue Shao strode forward. The moon slave hesitated, wiped away her tears, and hurriedly followed.

Later, Xue Shao took Xiao Zhizhong and Yuenu to the outside of the imperial study and asked to see Wu Zetian. But he learned that the queen of heaven had finished taking care of government affairs and went to the imperial garden to relax. So Xue Shao had to ask the palace people to be the communication guide, and then went to the imperial garden to ask for a meeting.

Today's sun is fine, Wu Zetian's mood seems to be good, and he is watching a few groups of palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial garden, and they let out a hearty laugh from time to time. Knowing that Xue Shao asked to see him, Wu Zetian smiled, "Xue Shao came just in time. If you talk about Keju, I'm afraid that no one in the palace can beat the famous Lantian Gongzi, right? Announce him here! ”

Xue Shao stepped forward to meet him, and Wu Zetian smiled, "The horse came just in time, I don't know if you have the leisure to perform a bow for the palace?" ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, and then promised, "Weichen obeys." ”

"Okay, then you'll have to work for you." Wu Zetian said with a leisurely and elegant smile.

Xue Shao hasn't played Keju for some days, but he played with Princess Taiping at the beginning of the year. Today, I picked up the ball and tried a few white shots (fancy tiptoe), but it looked a little rusty and lost the excitement of the past.

The palace people still applauded and cheered, Wu Zetian just smiled when he looked at it from afar, and said to the left and right: "Look, today's Xue Juma is no longer the Lantian prince of the past. His stunt of juju has been somewhat wasted, but he only puts all his mind on military affairs. ”

The servants on the left and right are all clever people, and they hurriedly said that Xue Fuma's transformation is really the blessing of the two saints, the blessing of the princess, and the blessing of the court society.

Coaxed Wu Zetian into laughter, she said: "In the future, Hugh will call Xue Juma the son of Lantian again, that is to belittle him!" ”

"Yes!"

Xue Shao wiped his sweat and gasped, returned to Wu Zetian and smiled bitterly, "The queen of heaven is smiling, the minister has not bowed for many days, and he is a little wasted. ”

"It doesn't matter." Wu Zetian smiled slightly, "Say, what are you doing here?" ”

Xue Shao took a batch of manuscripts from Xiao Zhizhong and handed them to Wu Zetian to read. This is an important work plan that has recently been drummed up by the Martial Arts Academy, and it is ready to officially launch a martial arts conference of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. The detailed rules were drawn up by Xue Shao in accordance with some experiences in his previous life, mainly drawing on the form of running sports games and the selection of military subjects and martial arts competitions in the army, and even set gold, silver and bronze medals for the top three in each event.

If a modern person sees this "plan", he will definitely laugh at it. But when Xue Shao said it to the people around him in the Tang Dynasty, they were all amazed.

Wu Zetian is not a time-traveler, and her cousin is as novel and interesting as everyone else, in addition to promising Xue Shao's overall plan and the required manpower and material resources, she also took the initiative to inquire about some details that she was particularly curious about, such as the award ceremony and which "guests" should be chosen. Xue Shao's proposed candidates are the generals and generals of Yulinwei, but Wu Zetian said that mounted archery has always been the most difficult and important combat skill, and she will personally award medals symbolizing honor and strength to the top three in the cavalry archery project.

This can be regarded as a surprise for Xue Shao - this is undoubtedly an increase in the specifications and influence of the Beiya Martial Arts Association!

The two chatted very speculatively, after all, Xue Shao has a soul from the 21st century, and many times a small idea he inadvertently said made Wu Zetian feel very novel and praised again and again.

While chatting, a waiter came to Wu Zetian's ear and whispered a report.

Wu Zetian waved his hand quietly to repel him, and called all the attendants around him away, and then said to Xue Shao: "Xue Shao, I have something I want to hear your opinion. ”

"Please make it clear to the queen of heaven." Xue Shao asked.

Wu Zetian said: "Do you remember that Turkic princess, Ashina Aiyan? ”

"I remember." Xue Shao nodded, but he was slightly shocked in his heart, why did Wu Zetian suddenly mention her in front of me?

"Her origin and identity, I don't think I need to repeat it to you." Wu Zetian said, "These days, Ai Yan has been living in the palace. She is safe and free. ”

Xue Shao didn't interject and listened quietly.

"Originally, she was supposed to be beheaded by the autumn execution three days later, just like Fu Nian." Wu Zetian said, "But some people say that Ai Yan can't be killed, and it is of great use to the imperial court." Therefore, Hongu left her behind. ”

Xue Shao listened carefully and nodded, the person who "had someone to advise" might be Xue Yuanchao. He had promised to do his best to save Ai Yan's life.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Xue Yuanchao whether he saves people or not, the important thing is that Ai Yan's life and death are related to Xue Yuanchao's political opinions. Now it seems that the imperial court reactivated Xue Yuanchao and did not kill Ai Yan, and the two are actually unified. In other words, Xue Yuanchao, who is firm in his political views, saves both others and himself.

As for how to use her, there is still controversy. Therefore, this palace would like to hear your opinion. Wu Zetian asked.

Xue Shao frowned, didn't you already know my opinion, like Xue Yuanchao and Pei Xingjian, Fu Nian and Ai Yan can't be killed! …… Now I ask, "Didn't you dig a pit for me to jump?"

"Let's put it this way!" Wu Zetian seemed to see Xue Shao's concerns, and said, "Three days later, the imperial court will be sentenced to the autumn execution, and Fu Nian and other people who will harm the country and the people, and at the same time, the imperial court may send a group of people to the north to appease the grassland people." Among them, there will be Ai Yan with him. ”

Xue Shao's eyes widened as soon as he flicked in his heart, let the tiger return to the mountain?! …… What a fool came up with this bad idea!!
