Chapter 128: A Book of Profits
Xue Shao remembered that the Empress Wu Zhou Dynasty in history was lackluster in military affairs, and she couldn't talk about any achievements, at most she could barely hold on. There is a lack of talents in this era, at least there has never been a generation of famous marshals like Li Jing, Li Tao and Pei Xingjian, who can mark the annals of history.
"After the death of the British Duke Li Tao, there are almost no generals available in this dynasty except for Pei Xingjian." Wu Zetian said, "Xue Shao, this palace has high hopes for you, you must not let this palace down!" β
"Minister, you must do your best!" Xue Shao clenched his fists.
Wu Zetian nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "This palace has raised six children in his life. Only Taiping has been bringing her with her since she was born. She's the meat of my heart. Now that she is an adult and has a crush on you, this palace is willing to let her marry you. Xue Shao, this palace hopes that you can treat her well, and hopes that you can be like her, and have the same heart and mind with this palace. β
"Minister, as it should be." Xue Shao replied.
"Son-in-law wins half a son, since it is a family, there are some things that the palace might as well make it clear to you." Wu Zetian said, "But you can't divulge half a sentence of these words to anyone." β
"Yes." Xue Shaoping replied calmly, this "anyone" is probably including Emperor Li Zhi!
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Pei Xingjian has the ability." But because of some old things, he must be prejudiced and suspicious of this palace. The murder weapon of the soldiers, as long as Pei Xingjian leads the soldiers, the palace has no less hesitation in his heart. Xue Shao, you are still a shallow entry, and you haven't really seen the danger of court battles. For example, if it weren't for the British Duke Li Tao, who was in charge of the military, who came forward to support His Majesty to establish the palace as the queen, not only would the palace not live today, but I am afraid that the dragon chair under the emperor's majesty would not be able to sit today. β
Xue Shao frowned and nodded slightly.
Back then, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Sui leaned towards the government and the opposition, and Li Zhi was just a puppet emperor. It was with the support of Li Tao that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian successfully abolished the queen who was in the same camp as the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, thus eliminating these two powerful ministers and regaining imperial power from them. This period of history can be described as murderous and bloody. Wu Zetian has changed from a nun in the Ganye Temple to the queen of the world, and only she can understand the suffering and danger she has experienced.
Wu Zetian said: "The army is the guarantee of a country's stability and strength. Bae Xingjian has an incomparable lofty status and absolute prestige in the military, and even the old prime minister who pacified Baekje, Yoo In-rail, cannot be compared. It's rare that Pei Xingjian is quite important to you, and this palace hopes that you can inherit his mantle. In the future, the safety of this palace and Taiping will depend on you! β
"Minister, panic!" Xue Shao hugged her fists, she didn't expect that she would play the family card with the attitude of her mother-in-law!
"Your Majesty personally asked the palace to be responsible for the Lantian password. Hongu thought that this was an excellent time to cultivate talents. Wu Zetian said, "This palace wants to recommend two people to you to know." In the future, let them learn the Lantian secret code with you, and follow Pei Xingjian with you to learn the art of war. β
Xue Shao blinked, "Queen of Heaven, which two are they?" β
"Call them in."
Later, two young men walked in lightly and bowed, "Meet the Queen of Heaven." β
As soon as Xue Shao saw these two people, he immediately thought of the "ugly life and ugliness" in Peking Opera.
a white, pure and elegant demeanor, just like a young student in Peking Opera; Another rickety camel has an ugly back, like a flower ugly in Peking Opera.
"Xue Shao, both of them are nephews of this palace." Wu Zetian said, "Wu Yougui, Wupin Qianqi Zuolang General; Wu Yizong, the general of the five-grade Jin Wuwei Zuolang. β
Both of them bowed their hands to Xue Shao together, "Fortunately, Xue Gongzi." β
"Fortunately, two generals." Xue Shao returned the salute, it seems that Wu Zetian hopes that the martial arts family can produce two top-notch generals.
"Wu Yougui, Wu Yizong, this palace wants you two to treat Xue Shao as a brother from now on, and follow him to Pei Xingjian to learn military martial arts." Wu Zetian said, "Xue Shao, the two of them can be a Wupinlang general, and they also understand some military affairs. Hongu hopes that you will go hand in hand with it, and it will be of great use in the future. β
"Yes, diva." The three of them bowed down together.
Xue Shao smiled secretly, your ideal is beautiful, but the reality may be skinny. Regardless of whether the two of them are militarily gifted or not, even if they really are, as long as their surname is Wu, Pei Xingjian will stay away. Besides...... This Wu Yizong looks so ugly, anyone who sees it feels disgusting!
"Today's forbidden words must not be leaked to anyone." Wu Zetian waved his hand, "You two go down first." β
"Yes."
Wu Yougui and Wu Yizong just showed their faces, and then quietly retreated.
"Xue Shao, this palace knows what you are worried about." Wu Zetian said, "This palace knows that Pei Xingjian will not teach them anything, and it is impossible to accept them as protΓ©gΓ©s. But it doesn't matter. β
Xue Shao was slightly stunned, then why do you want to do this?
Wu Zetian smiled mysteriously, "You don't have to think too much, Pei Xingjian doesn't need you to do anything." You just discipline them to learn the Lantian secret code, and you'll see for yourself later. β
"Yes......" Xue Shao agreed, thinking that the old demon of Montenegro probably wanted to "mix up the pearls", so that these two surnamed Wu and I could mix together and get a dip in the light of "Pei Xingjian's protΓ©gΓ©". Whether you can learn things is secondary, and the most important thing is to "mess with Pei Xingjian".
Plagiarism, copycats, it's just naked plagiarism plus copycats!
Wu Zetian said again: "Shicai Taiping once mentioned a person to the palace, Yulin Lang Xue Chuyu. She said that she wanted to transfer this brother of yours to Zuo Fengchenwei and be your personal entourage. She is worried that you will be bullied by Zuo Fengchen's weak strength. β
Xue Shao laughed, just kidding, it's good if I don't bully others!
Wu Zetian also smiled and said, "Xue Shao, Taiping has always been in love with you, you can't let her down." β
"Minister...... I also like princesses. Xue Shao smiled.
Wu Zetian nodded with a little relief, "For men, there are many things that can be pursued. But for a woman, marrying a good man is the most important thing in her life. Taiping is the favorite daughter of this palace, and this palace hates to give her all the best things in the world. I hope you can be a good colt in the future and take good care of her. β
"Yes......"
Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief, a motherly smile appeared on his rare face, and said: "Taiping is willful, sometimes the palace can't do anything about her." But in recent days, Bengong found that Taiping had changed, and she even began to take the initiative to read, reading "The Book of Rites", which made Bengong quite pleased. Xue Shao, it seems that you have a way! β
Xue Shao smiled, "Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping is occasionally a little naughty, but in fact, she is a very smart, kind, innocent, and lovely good woman. β
The smile on Wu Zetian's face was even stronger. All mothers in the world are the same, and they are all happy to hear others praise their children. Even if it is a generation of empress Wu Zetian, she is no exception.
"You have a lot of things to take care of at the beginning of your tenure, so go back to the Wei Mansion as soon as possible!" Wu Zetian smiled kindly and said, "When you were talking about martial arts, you were injured a little, and this palace will ask someone to bring you medicine." β
"Thank you for the queen of heaven, the minister has retired."
After Xue Shao withdrew from the room, Wu Zetian said: "Wan'er, after an hour, you bring some wound medicine to Zuo Fengchenwei, and be sure to hand it over to Xue Shao." β
"Yes." Shangguan Wan'er obediently promised.
Xue Shao left the Protectorate Tianwang Temple and went straight to Zuo Fengchen Weiwei Mansion, thinking all the way, Wu Zetian's political sense of smell was really extremely keen. Li Zhi casually said, "Let the queen cook", but with this inadvertent authorization, she was able to make such a big article with such a small gadget as a Lantian password.
It's like a shrewd businessman, always in pursuit of a million profits!
Back at Weifu, it was almost dark. In the army, there was a strict rule, that is, a curfew at night, no going out, no free movement, except for the people on duty, everyone had to stay obediently in their own houses.
Xue Shao returned to his official office, and the three newly accepted relatives had already set up a room for him. Seeing him come back, the three of them went to pour tea and water for him, and Lu Siyi also handed Xue Shao a large stack of stickers.
Xue Shao picked it up and looked at it, and almost all the twenty-four six-grade thousand cows in the whole house came to ask Xue Shao to eat. In addition, there are some self-preparation and main battle worship stickers, some want to tie up, and some want to be Xue Shao's personal companion. Zhonglang also posted Li Xiantong and asked him to come over to the house for some light meals in three days. General Li Xiaoyi, who rarely appeared in the Wei Mansion once, also gave an order, saying that he would give Xue Shao a banquet in the Wei Mansion tomorrow, and all the generals and officials above the sixth rank in the mansion must attend except for those in office.
Lu Siyi said proudly: "General Xue, you have become famous in the first battle!" Now, you are all Zuo Fengchenwei's big celebrity! β
Xue Shao smiled indifferently and threw these posts on the table, saying, "What about Zhou Jitong?" β
He left Beiya and went straight home. His relatives and entourage also took vacations, and those who asked for leave did not stay in the Wei Mansion. Lu Siyi said cautiously: "Perhaps, they are all afraid of running into General Xue now, right?" β
"Nonsense. We are robes, not enemies. Xue Shao reprimanded, "In the future, those who meet Zhou Jitong must not be ashamed and arrogant, let alone pick quarrels and provoke trouble." β
"Yes, General."
Pan Yi and Tang Zhen brought Xue Shao food, which was quite hearty. Xue Shao was really hungry after a fight in the ring, so he ate a lot.
Lu Siyi carefully served the tea and dinner on the side, and asked, "General Xue, there are still seven relatives left, who should be recruited?" β
Xue Shao said indifferently: "I said, if you didn't stand here at that time, it will be much more difficult to stand up again." β
"So, a few more days?"
Xue Shao nodded, "My personal entourage must have real skills." The three of you were the first to come, and you are all my confidant brothers, and those who come later will surely respect you very much. But if your skills are not as good as those who come after you, it will be difficult. β
The three of them were stunned, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "We will definitely redouble our efforts!" β
Xue Shao smiled, "Then I hope that all of you will be as brave as Xue Chuyuguan to champion the three armies." β
"Ah, the flying jade crown wants to be a personal entourage for the general?!" Three people, dumbfounded at the same time.
