Chapter 99: The Secret War of the Two Saints

Seeing that Xue Shao was hesitating and not answering, Princess Taiping and Li Zhi secretly pinched a cold sweat for Xue Shao. Princess Taiping hid behind Wu Zetian, quietly hooked her fingers to Li Zhi's scattered robes and gently pulled them, begging Li Zhi to help relieve the siege with a bitter face.

"By the way, it just so happens that Xue Shao is also here, and I have something to say." Li Zhi spoke openly, "Anyway, there are no outsiders, so I will say it bluntly - this time the Taiping incident has already hurt the royal reputation and caused a bad impact on the people." Taiping, Xue Shao, you two must be more restrained in the future, be calm and cautious. If there are similar incidents in the future, I will not spare them! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Xue Shao bowed.

Princess Taiping also walked to the hall and knelt beside Xue Shao, "Erchen knows his mistake!" Erchen will not dare to commit it again in the future! ”

Li Zhi's tone can be described as powerful, but the voice outside the strings is actually that Princess Taiping and Xue Shao have been forgiven for being "innocent". The words "if there will be more in the future" in his last sentence really used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to play a word game in front of Wu Zetian.

Emperor Chrysostom has been opened, and Wu Zetian naturally has nothing to say. And she's still a little depressed...... I'm still testing Xue Shao, why did Your Majesty cut the topic apart?

Li Zhi suddenly changed his words, and his voice was fierce, "Taiping has certainly made a big mistake, but after all, she is young and ignorant, and she is not afraid of people's hearts, and she can only be disqualified under impulse." I think that the person who instigated and fueled the troubles behind him is the real evil and vicious one! Queen, you must send a competent person to find out the villains behind it! I want to see who is so bold as to frame the princess and bring disaster to the royal reputation! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Zetian surrendered his promise, and at the same time, his heart suddenly tightened! Listening to His Majesty's tone, he must have known that the person behind it was Wu Chenghe! …… It's all a curse that comes from things that don't fight! Now the handle is directly in the hands of His Majesty, not to mention letting Taiping remarry a martial artist, it would be good to let something that is not competitive save his life!

framing the princess and slandering the royal family is a heinous crime of raiding the family!

Princess Taiping obediently knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, but quietly turned her face to Xue Shao and smiled quietly, as if to say-My father is very powerful, right?!

Xue Shao sat with an indifferent expression, his eyes did not squint and his face did not change, and he said in his heart: I didn't expect that there would be such a secret battle between the two saints! It's really a master's move, although there is no sword and sword shadow, but it is full of murderous opportunities, and in a moment, the high-ranking officials are called to fall off the horse and the head to the ground!

"I have been sparse for a long time, and my health has not improved much, and I still have to continue to bother the queen to deal with the big and small things. This matter of Taiping needs to be handled safely, and it must be prevented in the future. Li Zhi calmly played the official tone as a concluding remarks, and directly handed over the big burden and choice to Wu Zetian.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Zetian gave up his promise, and he didn't feel good about forcing Xue Shao to take the exam again. His Majesty's hem was clearly to protect Xue Shao and Jili to promote him to be with Taiping. If I force Xue Shao aggressively, Your Majesty will have to take Wu Chenghe!

Xue Shao quickly glanced at Wu Zetian and read the micro-expression on her face, obviously she was quite annoyed and entangled at the moment! Xue Shao thought to himself, if this matter ends here, of course I can avoid disaster and even increase the ranks, but it's hard to say whether it will make Wu Zetian jealous of me from now on - in order to protect me, His Majesty actually threatened her and threatened to destroy Wu Chenghei with subtext!

Li Zhi is the emperor and looks like a nice thick thigh; But his health is so poor, it obviously doesn't take long to live. As soon as he dies, Wu Zetian will get rid of the biggest layer of shackles, and from then on he will truly dictate the world!

The one who wins the trend is the real winner, and he must not form a feud with Wu Zetian at this time!

It seems that the pit dug by the old demon of Montenegro still has to jump!

So, Xue Shao took the initiative to bow his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, can Weichen answer the question raised by the Queen of Heaven Niangniang?" ”

"Oh?" At this time, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were surprised at the same time.

Princess Taiping sat up straight in astonishment, turned her head and glared at Xue Shao in surprise...... Xue Lang, are you crazy? My father has protected you like this, and you don't have to answer anymore! Don't you think my mother is not making things difficult enough for you?

The expressions of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian became a little playful, Li Zhi was embarrassed and smiled bitterly, and Wu Zetian smiled sneeringly, as if to say: Your Majesty, look, this stunned boy doesn't appreciate your affection!

"You...... Answer! Li Zhi slapped his thigh, looking at the expression, he wanted to slap this slap on the top of Xue Shao's skull.

"Yes." Xue Shao bowed his hand, and replied Lang Lang, "What the Queen of Heaven is asking is, how to use troops to defeat the outnumbered and outnumbered?" Weichen also skimmed the book of war, and remembered that the art of war has a cloud: 'Use the crowd to advance and stop, and use the few to be narrow'. ”

Li Zhi opened his eyes in surprise and stretched his head forward, staring at Xue Shao curiously, "Aiqing, why don't you explain in detail?" ”

With this title of "Aiqing", Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping clearly felt that the emperor was a little closer and more appreciative of Xue Shao.

Wu Zetian also showed a hint of consternation, did he really answer?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Shao bowed and said: "The minister has not tried to lead the troops, but can only appreciate the method of using soldiers from the military book, and only talk about the soldiers on paper." Chen remembered that in the fifth chapter of "Sima Fa-Yongzhong", it was recorded that "with the crowd to advance and stop", which means that if I have few enemies, we must first pay attention to the geographical environment, and we must not fight in dangerous places, but in easy and wide places. In addition, as a general, he must command the army under his command freely, advance and retreat when he hears the drums, encircle it with ten, attack it with five, and divide it into multiple parts, and carry out encirclement and annihilation of the enemy army according to the time and conditions, or cover up and kill, pursue or truce at the right time. Everything is sent and received between the heart and mind of the general! ”

"Okay." Li Zhi nodded and praised, a stunning light flashed in his slightly gloomy eyes, and then said, "What about the use of widowhood?" ”

"Your Majesty, the use of widowhood is to act against the way of 'using the crowd'." Xue Shao arched his hand and said, "If the enemy is outnumbered, we must pay more attention to the geographical environment, we must not confront the enemy army head-on in a plain and wide place, we must choose those deep mountains and grasses or passes with dangerous terrain to confront it, and we must use the time of day to try to use the tricks of ambush, surprise soldiers, interception, and food supply to deal with the enemy army several times my size and hope to win!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha! You can say that again! ”

Li Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, "Although it is on paper, it is enough to see that Aiqing is indeed talented and flexible!" …… Queen, after taking the secret code test, the poetry test, and the art of war, do you want to take the test again? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't have to take the test again." Wu Zetian arched his hand silently and said, "If it weren't for what I saw and heard with my own eyes, the concubine really couldn't believe that Xue Shao, the famous son of Lantian in the Guan, would have such an amazing talent!" The concubines congratulate Your Majesty on harvesting such talents today! ”

"The queen of heaven praises falsely, and the minister does not dare to be." Xue Shao couldn't be happy at all, the old demon of Montenegro suddenly boasted so explicitly, what was his intention?

Li Zhi laughed, too long a face! Xue Shao is too competitive!

"Xue Shao, this palace remembers asking you what books you have read. At that time, you answered the titles of "Shaoyang Zhengfan" and "Yonghui Lvshu". Wu Zetian said calmly, "Today, it seems that you usually read military books!" Tell me, what military books have you read? ”

As soon as she said this, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping's hearts flicked at the same time, and they really made a move - directly pointing at "Six Army Mirrors"!

It seems that it is impossible to hide it!

"Minister, I have roughly read "The Art of War", "Sima Law" and ...... "Mirror of the Six Armies"!" Xue Shao hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "There are almost original sentences in the "Mirror of the Six Armies", and there are very detailed examples of battles in the book, and according to the different types of troops under his command and the differences in seasons and seasons, various influences and strains on the war have been described in detail. ”

"Six Army Mirrors?" Li Zhi exclaimed, "This is the art of war written by Li Weigong, I remember that along with other works of Weigong, it was sealed in the forbidden pavilion of the secretary province by His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no circulation in the world, how did you see it?" ”

Wu Zetian also frowned in a little surprise, he had only watched it all night, he could remember it so clearly, and he could flexibly relay the obscure art of war in his own words, which shows that he really understood the mystery of the book! - It's really not easy to forget that your understanding is extraordinary!

Princess Taiping saw that Xue Shaodu had "taken the initiative to confess", and knew that she didn't want to hide it any longer today, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your son is guilty!" ”

"What are your sins?" Li Zhi was a little surprised.

"It was Erchen who used coercion and temptation to coerce Wu Chenghei to make him take out the "Six Army Mirrors" from the secretary province, and then Erchen forced Xue Lang to read this book...... If he doesn't read it, his sons will give him poisoned wine to drink!" Princess Taiping lowered her head and whispered timidly, her two pairs of eyes kept glancing at Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's faces.

"Nonsense!" Li Zhi shouted angrily, which scared Princess Taiping!

Princess Taiping hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The son is guilty, please punish my father!" ”

"The minister is guilty! Please calm your anger and take care of the dragon's body! Xue Shao could only bow down.

Wu Zetian was as motionless as a mountain on the side, expressionless, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, now you should always know why Wu Chenghei is making trouble for Xue Shao, right? It's all forced by this ignorant Taiping! …… Wu Chengsi originally wanted to be a colt, but His Majesty didn't agree, but it didn't mean that he was really dead. He took the risk of taking out the "Mirror of the Six Armies" this time just to offer his affection to Taiping, but he didn't expect Taiping to take the military book to cheapen Xue Shao, and the two joined forces to ridicule and humiliate Wu Chenghei, which man can endure such a thing?

Now Xue Shao and the other three all understand why the queen deliberately asked about the "Art of War", it turned out that they were begging for mercy for Wu Chenghe!

In the final analysis, this matter started because of Princess Taiping, and it was indeed Princess Taiping who did not do it right first. If the emperor really wants to take the opportunity to sanction Wu Chenghei, he is suspected of favoring Taiping and Xue Shao, and the queen and the people of the Wu family will naturally not be convinced!

Therefore, as soon as the matter of "Six Army Mirrors" came out, Li Zhi felt that the words he said before "threatening to clean up Wu Chenghei" were like lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

"Father, the son is willing to be punished, everything is the fault of the son! Don't be angry, the dragon body matters! Princess Taiping knelt on the ground and began to weep.

Hearing Princess Taiping's cry, Li Zhi, who was about to be angry, softened his heart again, sighed and shook his head again and again, "That's it, these children's family affairs should be within the queen's responsibility, I don't want to ask more." Queen, it's all up to you! I feel unwell and go back to the Ice Hall to rest! - Left and right, get on! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Xue Shao arched his hand, glanced at Li Zhi's clumsy and stumbling figure out of the corner of his eye, and sighed secretly in his heart: Now I probably understand how Wu Zetian "reversed yin and yang" to override Li Zhi, and used various means of encroaching on whales to steal the supreme power of Datang step by step!

Maybe Li Zhi is not confused, nor is he stupid; But - not afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods!.
