Chapter 11: Officials Divide Clearly
For Xue Shao, who has been walking on the edge of life and death for many years and has crossed the thousand-year gap in an instant, life and death have been seen through, and the so-called "the arrangement of fate cannot be changed" is even more ridiculous. My life is up to me, not to God, this is the motto he has always believed in.
"Xiaosheng went to bathe and change clothes first, and then ...... Ah! ”
With a scream, Li Xianyuan kicked the threshold in a panic, and fell to the ground with his five bodies. His forehead hit a high table where a flower pot was placed, and when he hit the ground, the flower pot fell down, hitting him directly in the back of the head.
"Heavenly Machine...... Cannot...... Divulge! ”
Li Xianyuan fainted.
Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: Is there really such an evil sect?
"Childe, don't listen to his nonsense, why do you have so many tribulations!" The moon slave said angrily, "No matter who dares to embarrass the son, the moon slave must take his head!" ”
Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, "Let's first pick up that half-tone divine stick that has been punished by heaven and throw it on the bed!" ”
After the cooking was done, the moon slave stood aside, his head bowed, and he looked ready to be trained.
Xue Shao said lightly: "Is it fun in the palace?" ”
The moon slave suddenly fell to one knee on the ground, "The moon slave is reckless, please punish the son!" ”
Xue Shao held her soft shoulders with both hands and helped her up. The moon slave was tall and only slightly shorter than Xue Shao, and the two of them formed a warm face-to-face hugging posture face to face.
Yue Nu suddenly lowered her beauty mantis head with her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to breathe, let alone look at Xue Shao with her eyes.
"Moon slave, I know that you are loyal and dedicated to me." Xue Shao said, "But have you ever heard of a saying that an eagle is like a sleeper, and a tiger is like a disease?" ”
"The eagle stands like sleep, and the tiger walks like a sick ......" Moon Nu raised her head and blinked her deep and beautiful eyes like jewels, and there was aura in her eyes, "Moon Nu understands!" Childe is teaching the moon slave that everything needs to be low-key and cautious, and not to be arrogant! ”
"You can teach." Xue Shao smiled slightly and nodded in approval, "The eagle that kills the eagle and the man-eating tiger will never show off their might, and only the rats and rabbits that are waiting for death like to jump up and down." ”
"Shame on the moon slave! I will be cautious in the future! The moon slave blushed in shame and lowered her head.
"Clever." Xue Shao nodded with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief, "Moon slave, now you are the most trusted and powerful person by my side, don't let me down!" ”
"Childe, me! ......" The moon slave stared at Xue Shao, and didn't know what to say for a while, there seemed to be a thousand meanings in his eyes, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Needless to say." Xue Shao smiled slightly, "I understand." ”
……
In the second half of the night, Li Xianyuan woke up leisurely, and Xue Shao and Yue Nu stayed in his bachelor's room to take care of him.
"Awake?" Xue Shao smiled, "Are you hungry, drink some meat porridge?" ”
"No appetite...... Li Xianyuan snorted and chirped, feeling weak.
"Then eat a little fresh fruit to moisten your stomach?"
"Can't eat ......"
Xue Shao sat beside him, "Why don't I arrange two beautiful girls for you to warm the bed?" ”
"Lift me up first."
Xue Shao grabbed his shirt with both hands and lifted him up, then stuffed a big pillow into his back, "Okay, don't die or live." The doctor has shown you that it is not a big deal! - I'll tell you something, you give some advice. ”
"Say, say." Li Xianyuan looked pitiful, "I want to drink porridge." ”
"Slut!" Xue Shao stuffed a bowl of porridge into his hand and said, "I want to find a ministry to do, and I don't want to be idle all day long." ”
"Ministry?" Li Xianyuan was unexpectedly stunned with a porridge bowl, "Brother Xue is having a good life, why did he suddenly have such a thought?" ”
Xue Shao stood up and took two steps and said, "In short, this is my thought after careful consideration. I don't want to spend my life eating and waiting to do nothing. ”
"That's not right!" Li Xianyuan hurriedly said, "Doesn't Brother Xue have a heavenly ministry waiting to do right now, so why do you have to find another one?" ”
"What ministry?"
"Be a colt!"
Xue Shao spread his hands, "Then I might as well eat and wait for nothing to happen." ”
Li Xianyuan rolled his eyes a few times, speechless. In fact, he also knows in his heart that marrying a princess as a colt may not be such a glamorous and worthy thing to show off in this era. In particular, some people with the surname of the gate valve and the famous family of the Shi family have a "respectful and stay-away" mentality for marrying the royal family surnamed Li.
It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but the princess of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not easy to marry. Therefore, Xue Shao, the son of Lantian, has such a mentality, and Li Xianyuan is not surprised at all.
"Then what are the plans in Brother Xue's heart?" Li Xianyuan asked naturally.
Xue Shao replied: "I want to follow Rong." ”
"Huh?" Li Xianyuan laughed as if he had heard the Book of Heaven, "Brother Xue, are you okay?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Li Xianyuan put down the porridge bowl and said seriously: "Brother Xue wants to enter the official career, it is not difficult at all. But the official also has the distinction of 'turbidity' - you have the blood of the royal family, and you are also from the Xue clan in Hedong and the ancestral lineage of the West. How can a noble person like you be willing to fall into the Rong and fall into the inferior of the 'turbid current'? ”
Xue Shao suddenly realized.
That's right, in the eyes of the gentry and aristocrats at the moment, even if they are officials, they are also "turbid". Qing officials probably refer to civil officials, and turbid officials are naturally military generals. Although the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is martial, the social status of military generals is not low. However, in the eyes of the clan circles, especially the veteran aristocrats with prominent social status, it is quite a shameful thing to be a turbid official - a good iron does not fight nails, and a good man should not be a soldier, this proverb (to the effect) has been circulating from now on.
Xue Shao was born in the Xue clan in Hedong, and the Xue clan has two main branches, called Xizu and Nanzu.
Among them, after Nanzu is the famous general Xue Andu, there are many generals among his descendants, the most representative of which is now the famous god of war in the Tang Dynasty - Xue Rengui!
But then again, before Xue Rengui became famous, he was so poor that he couldn't eat. At that time, apart from his surname, what else could he have to do with the nobility?
Although there is a surname, the high and the low are suspended.
If he had a choice, I believe that Xue Rengui would not be willing to enlist in the army back then, at least not from a white-clothed pawn.
Nowadays, the Xizu lineage is the most vigorous and there are many Qing officials, like Xue Shao's eldest brother Xue Yi, there is more than one feudal official who is in the position of assassin in the history, that is, there are many officials in the center of the court, the most famous is Xue Yuanchao, who is the emperor of the court.
Seeing that Xue Shao was speechless, Li Xianyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Xiao Sheng thinks that for such a big matter, Brother Xue might as well discuss it with the elders of the clan and Brother Ling." ”
Xue Shao nodded and did not answer, but this did not mean that he agreed with Li Xianyuan's opinion. In his opinion, any bloodline, Qing official and turbid official, are all floating clouds, he just wants to take his own path, rather than by secular values and other people's eyes, to determine his future.
Thinking about it on the other hand, Li Xianyuan's fortune teller said that the words of "marriage in the world" were very suspicious of adding fuel to the fire. It seems that he, the "marriage introducer", is likely to have been taught by Wu Zetian, and can be regarded as a "stalking eyeliner" placed by my side.
So there are some things that should not be said by Li Xianyuan. There are some things that should be hidden from him. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable.
After nightfall, Xue Shao lay on the bed with a statue of Xiang'an Xiaorou, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. Originally, Xue Shao thought that this trip to Chang'an was just a boring formality, and what happened could be said to be just a farce. But the appearance of Princess Taiping has invisibly affected him, and it is more than a little bit.
At least now, his once confused state of mind is no longer peaceful!
The night is in full swing and silent.
Xue Shao vaguely noticed that there were people in the courtyard, and then heard a subtle sound, "Goodong".
It's like something has fallen into the water.
Xue Shao turned over lightly and got out of bed and walked to the window to see that the moon slave was walking away from the well in the courtyard.
"Moon slave, come to my room." Xue Shao called through the window.
The moon slave was slightly startled, "Yes! ……”
Xue Shao lit the oil lamp, and the moon slave pushed the door and stood beside him, "What do you command?" ”
Xue Shaoshen looked at her twice, this eighteen-year-old woman has a really first-class figure. If she is able to easily enter the ranks of supermodels in the 21st century, the delicate beauty peak is the most prominent, the pair of beautiful legs are slender and straight and round, without a trace of excess fat, it is not an exaggeration to make a leg model. Probably because she is of mixed Chinese and Hu race and has practiced martial arts since childhood, her beauty and charm reveal a trace of natural wildness and coldness, and her temperament is cold and glamorous, which is different from most Tang Dynasty women, and has a silence and stability that is far better than her actual age.
But at this moment, her expression was slightly panicked.
Maybe in front of anyone, the moon slave will be calm as if everything in the world has nothing to do with her. Only in the face of Xue Shao, she couldn't hide any secrets.
Or rather, she didn't want to hide.
"What did you just throw into the well?" Xue Shao asked.
"......" The moon slave bit her lip, lowered her head, and was silent.
Xue Shao frowned slightly. Years of special warfare military career have already allowed him to develop a pair of fiery eyes, and any slight change in expression on the faces of others cannot escape his eyes. In recent years, the observation of "micro-expressions", which has become popular in Western psychology, has also been a compulsory course for him, and he has long been proficient.
The micro-expression on Yue Nu's face told Xue Shao that she had just done something that should be considered "earth-shattering".
Xue Shao stood up, walked to the side of the moon slave, and whispered in her ear, "Can't you tell me can't you?" ”
"Childe...... Give me death! Yuenu said suddenly. Don't look at it, don't dare to face Xue Shao.
"Look at me."
"Yes......" Yue Nu plucked up his courage to look at Xue Shao.
Looking at each other, Yue Nu suddenly felt like a numb, his face was red, and his eyes were fluttering.
"Listen, Moon Slave." Xue Shao said lightly, "No matter what you do, I won't blame you." More unlikely, kill you. ”
"Childe, I'm ......" Yue Nu's heart throbbed, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she wanted to speak.
"Say it!"
"I, I just threw the golden hairpin on Princess Taiping's head into the well!" Yuenu plucked up her courage and said.
After saying that, she closed her eyes, straightened her face, and bit her lip.
Xue Shao took a deep breath, this girl is indeed bold!
I went to the palace alone, and I took the golden hairpin from Princess Taiping's head!.
