Shangguan Wan'er saw that Princess Taiping had the advantage from the side, and boasted: "Your Highness has superb chess skills, and there are few enemies in the harem." Xue Gongzi, you have to be careful! ”

"Wan'er, don't you leak our military information!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, a little proud.

Xue Shao said with a smile: "How can you play backgammon, and Your Highness still treats it as serious as a war?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er lost no time in answering: "Xue Gongzi may not know something, His Royal Highness has always loved Rong Wu!" ”

"Oh, is there one?" Xue Shao was really a little surprised.

"Isn't that weird?" Princess Taiping smiled, "I used to wear armor and martial arts, wielding horizontal swords and shields, leading a group of maiko to dance the army dance of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music"! I also asked my eunuchs and palace maids to disguise themselves as two armies and command them to fight! Also, didn't I go hunting with you in archery? ”

Xue Shaoha smiled, "I didn't expect His Highness to really have martial arts habits!" ”

"My Li family started from the martial Guanlong nobles, and my grandfather, Emperor Taizong, swept thousands of armies and was invincible!" Princess Taiping said proudly, "Since I am the daughter of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, I must be a martial princess!" ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, I'm also martial!" ”

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao with admiration, "I remember that you have some skills!" ”

Does it mean "Tota Tenno-style"?

Xue Shao smiled, "I have nothing to do, I did ask some martial artists to teach me one and a half moves." But no matter how good the martial arts are, it is only the courage of a horseman, at most it is only the enemy of ten people and the enemy of a hundred people. I'm going to be a general with 10,000 enemies! ”

"General?" Princess Taiping's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Hello general!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er laughed as she half-covered her lips on the side.

"Don't laugh!"

"Yes......"

Xue Shao laughed when he saw the two of them, obviously there must be some story behind the word "general".

"Your Highness, why is the general fine?" Xue Shao asked deliberately.

"General...... Of course! Princess Taiping's expression seemed to be a little unnatural, and her face was also slightly red, "The general is mighty, majestic, and atmospheric!" If I were born a man, I would be a general! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Actually, I made an appointment with Pei Xingjian today, just to learn some military tactics from him, so that I can be a general in the future!" ”

"Oh?" Princess Taiping blinked in surprise and said, "Do you really want to be a general?" ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness thinks that I, Ye Gong is a good dragon?"

Princess Taiping's face was a little hot, "Hmph, are you secretly scolding this palace?" ”

"I don't."

"You have it!" Princess Taiping pouted angrily, "If I am born as a man, hum...... It must be a member of the Celestial Empire! ”

Xue Shaoha laughed, but unfortunately, you are missing some parts!

"Don't laugh!"

Shangguan Wan'er was on the side, keeping every word and deed of Xue Shao and Princess Taiping in her eyes, and then interjected: "Your Highness, since Xue Gongzi really has the heart to follow, why doesn't Your Highness help him?" ”

"Oh?" Princess Taiping blinked, "Could it be that the palace will go to the queen of heaven to ask for an official for him?" No, no! I was scolded last time! ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Your Highness going to have a banquet for foreign women above the third grade in Beijing?" Presumably, Pei Xingjian's wife will also come. Wan'er heard that Pei Xingjian and his wife were deeply affectionate, why didn't His Royal Highness entrust Mrs. Pei to ask her to speak for Xue Gongzi, and let Pei Shangshu accept Xue Gongzi as a protégé and teach him the art of war? ”

When Xue Shao heard this, he really wanted to jump up and hug Shangguan Wan'er and kiss him fiercely, I wanted to say this kind of thing for a long time but it has been inconvenient to say, Shangguan Wan'er, the "new ally", is really thoughtful and super reliable!

"Is that possible?" Princess Taiping seemed to be moved, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Pei Xingjian is the number one general today, and his ability to pass on the art of war to Li Weigong is not trivial, but I have never heard that he has accepted a protégé. Will Pei Xingjian be willing? …… Furthermore, will my father, the emperor and my mother agree? ”

"Your Highness, beg to ...... left and right," Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice.

With a wave of Princess Taiping's hand, all the eunuchs and attendants, including Linlang, retreated, and only the three of them were left in the room.

"What do you think?" Princess Taiping asked.

Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "Actually, since the death of the British Duke Li Tao, the Second Sage has always hoped that someone can take the position of the British Duke. At the same time, I also hope that someone can inherit Pei Xingjian's strategy of the art of war. And this one person, it is best to be able to completely reassure the two saints! ”

When Princess Taiping and Xue Shao heard this, they suddenly realized at the same time!

Shangguan Wan'er is worthy of being the diva's personal female official and confidential secretary. He only used one sentence to vaguely point out a lot of things-

When Empress Wu was able to successfully defeat Empress Wang and was straightened, Li Shimin's left minister of the military state was of great help. At that time, Pei Xingjian was in the same camp as the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the two powerful ministers of the court, and resolutely opposed the "abolition of Wang Liwu". Later, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were cleared, and Pei Xingjian was thrown to the Western Regions before the two of them, where he ate the frontier sand for more than ten years.

Therefore, even if Pei Xingjian's military talent is not under Li Tao, it is impossible to become the real strength and reliance of the two saints like Li Tao. Until Li Tao died for more than ten years, Pei Xingjian was not really used in the military. It wasn't until a few years ago that Pei Xingjian "accidentally" put down a major rebellion in the Western Regions, and he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was awarded a "school inspection", and the general of the right guard gradually took charge of some military affairs.

Pei Xingjian is Su Dingfang's protégé, and Su Dingfang is Li Jing's descendant. Li Jing is known as the god of war, and his protégés are all famous generals in the world and even through the ages.

Pei Xingjian's military talent is beyond doubt. This is also the reason why the second saint is both useful and defensive against Pei Xingjian - he has great ability, but his loyal position is questionable! What if Pei Xingjian made any trouble with his outstanding military talents?

Therefore, as Shangguan Wan'er said, if there is a "confidant" who can inherit Pei Xingjian's art of war, the second saint must be very happy. Let's not talk about whether you can really be "invincible" after learning the art of war, the point is that the gold-lettered signboard of "Li Jing's protégé" is enough to enjoy supreme honor and prestige in the army.

The empowerment of the two saints and the gold-lettered signboard ordered the three armies to be a matter of time.

……

At this time, Xue Shao was thinking, if one day I really wish to walk out of a broad road on the road to Rongwu, Shangguan Wan'er will definitely make a great contribution!

"Xue Lang, do you really want to learn the art of war?" Princess Taiping said suddenly.

Xue Shao nodded seriously.

Princess Taiping's brows furrowed slightly, and the relaxed smile on her face was swept away, replaced by a rare solemn and serious expression, "I'm not sure to convince Pei Xingjian's wife, nor am I sure to convince my queen mother." But...... I'll definitely give it a try! ”

Obviously, Princess Taiping is also aware of the subtle stakes in this matter!

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Shao bowed his hand. I thought to myself, now that Princess Taiping was still young and lived deep in the harem and was closely cared for by the two saints, she had neither the need nor the willingness to participate in those battles and conspiracies.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand!

Shangguan Wan'er obviously knows a lot about court battles and conspiracies, because if she didn't understand, she might have died a long time ago, let alone sit in today's position; Princess Taiping has been raised by her since she was a child by the side of the "Black Mountain Old Demon", and she has been exposed to the influence of her ears and eyes, and it is difficult for her to think about it!

One has been actively studying since childhood, and the other has been learning passively since childhood. So the historical Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping have become famous powerful women!

……

After playing chess and eating, Xue Shao said goodbye and left. Although Princess Taiping was reluctant, she did not force her to stay.

"Wan'er, am I doing the right thing?" Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao's back and muttered.

"Does Your Highness mean to let him go back, or is it about him from Rong?" Shangguan Wan'er asked softly.

"Both."

"All right."

Princess Taiping turned her eyes to look at Shangguan Wan'er and blinked curiously, "In that case, why don't you answer me directly?" ”

"That's because Wan'er doesn't want to perfunctory His Highness. You must first know what His Royal Highness Lu Dao asks, and Wan'er will answer. Shangguan Wan'er replied with low eyebrows.

"Wan'er, you're really smart." Princess Taiping looked at Shangguan Wan'er's face and said.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Wan'er just wants to serve the lord loyally, and has no other intentions!" Whether Wan'er is smart or stupid, she is born of the Lord and used by the Lord! ”

"That's good." Princess Taiping smiled with satisfaction, "Get up!" ”

"Your Highness!" Shangguan Wan'er stood up and stood respectfully aside.

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment and said, "You say, if this palace goes to persuade Pei Xingjian and his wife to accept Xue Lang as a protégé, what are the chances of winning?" ”

“…… Less than 30 percent! Shangguan Wan'er said truthfully.

"What if it were a lobbying queen and asked her to come forward to achieve this?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, her expression even more worried.

"In fact, this palace also knows that this matter is very difficult to do." Princess Taiping frowned slightly, "On the surface, it seems that she is just accepting a student; Actually, there's so much involved! …… After all, I am just an unmarried princess, and I have never participated in any court politics. Suddenly I want to do such a thing, I really feel a little bottomless! ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly.

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up, "Do you have a plan?" ”

"What if Pei Xingjian took the initiative to accept Xue Gongzi as his protégé?" Shangguan Wan'er said.

"How?" Princess Taiping asked.

Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "The princess should not underestimate Xue Gongzi, since he dares to take the initiative to contact Pei Xingjian, he must have his reason and certainty." What the princess has to do is to help him, not to do it all for him. Wan'er used an analogy, if the princess really went to ask the queen to come forward and forcibly give an order, Wan'er estimated that it would backfire and arouse Pei Xingjian's disgust and resistance, but it would help Xue Gongzi. In fact, it is clear that what Xue Gongzi really wants from Pei Xingjian is not the art of war written on the paper in black and white, but the resounding title of a 'successor of Li Jing'! ”

Princess Taiping nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth raised, "Bengong, there seems to be a way!" ”.
