After the early dynasty, Li Zhi went directly to Wu Meiniang's bedroom. He has already regarded Wu Meiniang's mansion as his own bedroom, and the other concubines are basically equivalent to entering the cold palace.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are late to greet you." Wu Meiniang went to worship.

"Mei Niang, you are pregnant, don't pay tribute to me in the future. Mei Niang, do you know, this Turkic actually dared to attack Fenzhou in an attempt to kidnap the queen, but fortunately, An He made a quick decision and desperately protected the queen to kill the Turks surrounded by tens of thousands of iron horsemen, otherwise, the dignity of the Tang Dynasty is over. Li Zhi smiled and helped her up.

"Oh, Your Majesty, this Lord An and Lord Xue are loyal to the queen...... " Wu Meiniang muttered.

Li Zhi smiled, "An He's loyalty to the queen is not loyal to me?" He, I can still trust. I have decreed that he will be crowned the Lord Protector of the Kingdom. ”

A trace of gloom flashed on Wu Meiniang's face, and she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this An He is a miraculous horse, and he is in charge of the Shang Shu Order, and now he is in control of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor will make him a duke again, in case it ......."

"Mei Niang, you are too worried, An He's loyalty to me does not need to be doubted. Besides, he is the husband of Yu Zhang and others, and he and my Tang royal family are prosperous together, and they will have both glory and loss, and they will not have prestige. Li Zhi laughed loudly.

Wu Meiniang frowned, and stopped talking.

Li Zhi laughed, "Mei Niang, I know that you don't want to let Yu Xumei think, and you have a lot of insight into the government, just say anything you want, I won't blame you." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines are in vain. Although An He is a Tang Dynasty, but after all, he is a foreign minister, and all the military and political power is concentrated in the hands of a foreign minister, and over time, he will gradually support power and self-respect, breeding the heart of rebellion in the tomb, which is probably the case with the dictatorship of the ministers since ancient times. So. Not only can the emperor no longer be crowned with him, but he must gradually withdraw the power in his hands. Wu Meiniang said slowly.

"But. Ann and won't you? Didn't you tell me before that Anhe is a usable talent? A trace of worry flashed across Li Zhi's brows. Wu Meiniang's words deeply moved him, after all, as an emperor, what he was most worried about and afraid of was that the throne was unstable and he would be overlooked by his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, An He is a usable talent. But let him serve the Tang Dynasty in the hands of the emperor. Wu Meiniang smiled, "The concubines discuss the government in vain, and ask the emperor to forgive her sins." ”

"Nope. You're right. Wait for him to escort the queen back. And I took over his military power. 1. Li Zhi shook his head with a deep gaze.

Suddenly, a eunuch came in a hurry to report, "Your Majesty." Niangniang, Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhang reported that Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang gave birth to a son this morning. ”

"What?" Li Zhi was overjoyed, "Sister Gao Yang gave birth to a child?" Okay, okay, let's go, Mei Niang, follow me to see the nephew of the emperor of my land. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled lightly and said angrily, "Seeing that the emperor is in a hurry, it's not that you have a dragon son, as for being so excited?" "The Divine Horse Mansion is festive. Princess Gaoyang gave birth to a child, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty came to congratulate or send people to give gifts, and there was an endless stream.

Yu Zhang and the others waited in front of Gao Yang's bed, all of them happy. And Gao Yang, lying on the couch tiredly, looked at the chubby baby boy beside him, and his face floated with deep happiness.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, the emperor has arrived!" A maid said loudly outside the door.

Before Yu Zhang and the others could speak, Li Zhi's clear voice had already come from outside the door, "Sister Gao Yang, I see that you are here, you wait outside, Mei Niang, go in with me to see my imperial nephew." ”

"I've seen the emperor, the concubine." Yu Zhang and the others saluted one after another, Li Zhi waved his hand, leaned forward, and praised in his mouth, "What a fat boy, he really looks like Sister Gao Yang, well, okay, today the Horse Mansion is a double happiness, I just sealed Anhe Protector, he is happy again, hehe." ”

"Your Majesty, Mingtang doesn't know yet." Gao Yang smiled, "Gao Yang thanked the emperor for taking care of him, this kid will inevitably ask you, the emperor, to take care of and teach him in the future." ”

"Of course, I will not let me, Mei Niang, you came to see this child, it is really gratifying!" Li Zhixi said.

"With the gorgeous and noble Princess Gaoyang, and the heroic and graceful of Lord Xue, this child is really a combination of the advantages of the princess and the concubine, Mei Niang said hello to Princess Gaoyang." Wu Meiniang smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Lady Gui." Gao Yang was in a good mood at the moment, and looking at Wu Meiniang's gaze, he didn't have the hatred and disgust he used to have. After all, she is Li Zhi's concubine, and she is happy to come, no matter what, Gao Yang can't beat the smiling person.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Liu Xianglan smiled and moved over a show, and instructed the maids in the house to show Wu Meiniang a seat.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and his eyes fell deeply on Liu Xianglan, "Princess Jia Wenhui is getting more and more beautiful, I haven't seen her for many days, and I almost didn't recognize it." ”

A hint of shame slipped across her pretty face, Liu Xianglan lowered her pretty face and said in a low voice, "The emperor has won the award." ”

Li Zhi's eyes lingered on Liu Xianglan's pretty body like a valley orchid, and he refused to leave for a long time, "My life that day was saved by Princess Jia Wenhui, I have always thought about it in my heart, every time I think about it, I have some blood boiling, and I still have the blood of the princess in my blood." ”

"Your Majesty, the emperor's injury that day was the rejuvenation of Mingtang's skillful hand, and Xianglan just did her best." Liu Xianglan heard that he was slightly laughing, her face changed suddenly, her smile was gone, and she became serious.

Yu Zhang and Changle glanced at each other, shook their heads, and did not make a sound. And Wu Meiniang next to her quietly slipped a faint gloom and coldness on her face, and disappeared in a flash.

"Okay, Sister Gao Yang, you can rest, and I will come to visit you another day. Let's go, Mei Niang, go back to the palace! Li Zhi glanced at Liu Xianglan again, turned around, and went out. Behind him, there was a congratulatory voice from Yu Zhang and other women: "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Li Zhi left, because Yingge, who had been hiding in the corner all the time, walked out with Sun Yanzhen and Ouyang Feiyu. Ouyang Feiyu frowned, looked at Yu Zhang and said lightly, "Sister Yu Zhang, this emperor seems to be ......."

"Hmph, as a king, he actually made a statement to tease the wife of his subordinates, how can it be reasonable." Yingge said angrily.

Yu Zhang sighed secretly, and said in his heart, "Brother Huang, I hope you don't have this intention, if that's the case, let Mingtang know......" She smiled slightly, "Sister Yingge." The royal brother is also grateful for the kindness of Sister Xianglan's blood transfusion, and he has some verbal gaffes in a hurry. Hehe. ”

"I hope so, if he's a fancy. Trying to get involved with Sister Xianglan, I think, he will regret it. Yingge said in a deep voice, "This matter will end here, let's pay attention in the future, don't let the emperor contact Sister Xianglan again." ”

Outside the city of Taiyuan. The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.

An He rode on the horse, leaned down and smiled at Wang Yuzhi in the sedan car. ". Taiyuan has arrived, and you can go home. ”

"I left home at the age of 15, almost 10 years. Come on, help the palace to go down, the palace wants to smell the breath of Taiyuan, and blow the wind of Taiyuan! Wang Yuzhi got out of the sedan car with the support of the palace maid, slowly walked a few steps forward, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and took deep breaths. Yasuwa also turned over and dismounted, standing behind her.

The wind chimes galloped over, and shouted from afar, "The horse lord is very happy!" ”

An He's heart jumped, turned around, hurriedly walked to the wind chime's horse, and asked, "What's the matter?" Is Gao Yang born? I guess it's almost time. ”

"Master Horse, Princess Gaoyang gave birth to a big fat boy for you, Ling'er congratulates Master Horse." The wind chimes got off the horse and said with a smile.

"Good, good!" Anhe was so excited that he suddenly picked up the wind chimes and spun around on the spot, shouting, "Great, wonderful!" ”

"Master Horse, put down the bell, there are too many people here, and they are all watching." The wind chimes gently tugged at the placket of Ann's lichen. Xue Xi laughed and put him down, his face rippling with endless joy. has a child, in Datang, he has finally taken root, and from then on, he is no longer a passerby and an outsider!

"Master Horse, the emperor also crowned you as the protector of the country." Feng Chime whispered in his ear, "Double happiness is coming, how should I thank Ling'er?" ”

An Hese looked at the undulating "mountains" of the wind chimes because of panting, and said in a low voice, "At night, the master of the horse will treat you well." ”

Feng Chime's face turned red and she said angrily, "Ignore you." ”

Wang Yuzhi Yingying walked over and said with a smile, "Why is Xue Yuma so happy? ”

"Niangniang, the emperor decreed that the master of the horse should be appointed as the protector of the country." Wind Chimes raised her face and replied.

"Oh, that's to be expected." Wang Yuzhi nodded.

Feng Chime grinned, "Also, Princess Gaoyang has given birth!" ”

"Really? This is a good thing, this palace wants to congratulate the horse master! Wang Yuzhi said with a smile, but a faint hint of bitterness and loss quietly floated in his heart.

Wang Yuzhi was born in a famous family in Taiyuan. His grandfather was a third-rank high-ranking official, and his father was also an official to the history of assassination, and he was a fourth-rank official. After becoming a queen, the Wang family is in Taiyuan, of course, the first wealthy family.

Wang Yuzhi looked at the two gray-eyed old fathers and the Wang family to welcome them out of the city, her heart was clear, the corners of her mouth were twitching, and the two crystal tears in her eyes were spinning, she slowly turned her head and pleaded in a very low voice that was inaudible to others, "Can you accompany me home?" ”

An He was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "Yuzhi, you go home to get together with your relatives, it will be inconvenient for me to go." ”

"I don't care, I want you to stay with me." Wang Yuzhi waved his hand as he spoke, and said loudly, "Xue Yuma, this palace orders you to be a personal guard, and go home with this palace!" ”

"Old minister Wang Yun, it's late to welcome the queen's mother, and the mother forgives her sins!" Wang Yun trembled and made a gesture to kneel.

Wang Yuzhi sobbed and stretched out her hand to help her up, "Father, my daughter is not filial!" ”

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

The queen's car drove into the palace, and the Shenji battalion was stationed outside the city. Only An He awkwardly followed Wang Yuzhi into the house.

The hall was crowded with Wang's relatives and some subordinates. Wang Yuzhi's mother greeted her out of the hall, "Daughter, wow, I want to kill my mother!" ”

Wang Yuzhi sadly threw herself into her mother's arms, and cried again. The mother and daughter walked into the hall hand in hand, and everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, "Meet the queen mother!" ”

"Get up, in your own home, no need to be polite!" Wang Yuzhi Yaying sat down, tears still on her face.

A delicate young man ran into the hall and exclaimed, "Mother, where is my sister?" ”

Wang Yuzhi's mother, Liu, smiled, "Yuzhi, this is your younger brother Wang Boyang." ”

Wang Yuzhi was pleasantly surprised, "Boyang has grown so tall? Come, let my sister see. ”

Wang Boyang looked at Wang Yuzhi with some curiosity, and said in a childish voice, "Sister Queen, you are very beautiful." is more beautiful than the fourth mother that my father just married. ”

An He almost fainted, and stood there awkwardly. Everyone's eyes turned to An He. Including Wang Yuzhi's parents.

Wang Yuzhi first covered his mouth and smiled, then glanced back at Jian Feng with some concern, waved his hand and reprimanded: "Boyang, Hugh is rude." This is the Tang Dynasty Protector, Shang Shuling, the General Manager of the World's Soldiers and Horses, the Divine Wonder Ma An and Lord Xue! ”

Everyone was shocked. The Wang family is also considered a nobleman of the current dynasty, so how can they not know that this series of positions represents the peak power of the Tang Dynasty and has a title. and has the power of the military and the government, or is it a miraculous horse, is this worth it? In this Tang Dynasty, this is probably second only to the emperor's magnate.

An He was helpless, walked out slowly, saluted Wang Yuzhi's parents, and said lightly, "I've seen Lord Wang, Mrs. Wang!" In accordance with the emperor's order, this official escorted the mother home to save her relatives. ”

Wang Yun and the Liu family hurriedly got up, "Lord Xue is here in Hanjin, Wang Yun is very honored. I heard that in Fenzhou, thanks to Lord Xue's desperate protection of Yu Zhi, Yu Zhi escaped the catastrophe, and the Wang family is grateful, Lord Xue, please take a seat! ”

"Guard...... Guarding Niangniang is the department of Ann and the working girl, in front of Niangniang, there is no seat for the ministers, and Anhe should leave. An He smiled slightly.

"Sit down, this is the decree of this palace!" Wang Yuzhi got up and stretched out his hand to pull Xue Mei's lichen, and shrank back sharply, with a faint flush on his face, "This is the Wang family, not the palace, and I am not the queen but the daughter of the Wang family. ”

An He sighed secretly, in front of your parents, why are you bothering? He nodded helplessly, "An He doesn't dare, An and Xie Niangniang give me a seat." ”

A tall young man with a cold and arrogant expression flashed out of the crowd, and bowed to Wang Yuzhi, "Junior brother Wang Tao has seen the queen mother!" ”

"What is this?" Wang Yuzhi said in surprise.

Wang Yun smiled, "Yuzhi, this is the eldest son of your second uncle's family, and he was only 10 years old when you entered the palace." Tao'er is not simple, it is a rare talent of my Wang family, and when he was only a young man, he traveled back and forth between Taiyuan and Turkic, as well as the Western Regions, Tubo and other places, operating and trading, and one person supported the business of my Wang family. ”

"Oh, Brother Tao is exempt." Wang Yuzhi said lightly.

Wang Tao got up, his sharp eyes suddenly looked at the formation, and his horns shone slightly, "Lord Xue, who is famous in the Tang Dynasty, I have heard that you are famous for a long time, I don't know if Wang Tao can ask for advice?" ”

Ann and stunned. Good guy, this young man looks a little imposing, where did you provoke him?

An He smiled slightly, "Brother Wang, don't dare to be, please tell me something." ”

Wang Tao stepped forward", Lord Xue has the reputation of poetry in the wine, Wang Dao has studied literature since childhood, walked for a long time, and occasionally got four quatrains, please correct one or two of them. ”

"The flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky, and the wind roars in September in Luntai. The businessman's coat does not take off at night, and the limelight is like a knife. Wang Dao groaned slowly, a faint look of smugness on his face.

An He smiled secretly, he was really young and vigorous, although the desert scene described in this poem is also appropriate, but the artistic conception and literary style are far behind. He smiled and praised, "Good poetry, Brother Wang is talented, young and promising, and he admires him!" ”

Wang Tao approached and said, "Since the Lord has a poem, why not also use the cold of this desert as the title and write a poem on the spot, so that Wang Tao can see it?" ”

An He secretly said angrily, and kicked his nose on his face, his face sank slightly, "Brother Wang, An He's talent is limited, I'm sorry!" ”

"Isn't it for nothing?" Wang Tao was cold.

Although he knew that An He was powerful, he relied on his cousin to be the current queen, and no matter how powerful the courtiers were, they couldn't be the queen, right? Therefore, he also doesn't take peace and harmony seriously. Of course, there must be some other factors.

Wang Yuzhi looked at An He's slowly changing face, his heart was shocked, and he raised his teeth and scolded angrily, "Wang Dao, presumptuous!" Xue Juma is a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty, how can you compare? Retire! ”

Although An He was a little angry in his heart, it was not easy to come out, how could he be as familiar with a descendant of the Wang family according to his current identity, he slowly got up and smiled at Wang Yuzhi, "It's okay, it's okay, the queen mother, since the Wang brothers are kind to each other, the minister will offer summer." ”

Desert border village as the theme? An He sneered a few times in his heart, Lao Tzu has a mountain of poetry in his head, and it will open your eyes today. With a flash of thought, the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian's "Out of the Village" jumped into his mind, and he slowly chanted, "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”

Everyone was shocked and applauded in unison, "Good poetry!" ”

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face changed, and he said, "Wang Tao also wants to ask Lord Xue about the art of riding and archery." ”

"Enough! Wang Tao, you are too presumptuous. Are you going to charge into battle with Xue Yumabi? Do you know that Xue Juma made great achievements in the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, and exterminated countless green forest thieves in the world, just a few days ago, he was still proud of himself among tens of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen, desperately guarding the palace to highlight the encirclement of the disgusting people, can you do this? Don't step down with me yet! Wang Yuzhi got up and shouted.

Wang Tao's face flashed with a deep gloom, and he lowered his head. In the middle of the ring, he raised his head, his face was actually desolate and painful and sad, and he bowed down to salute, "Lord Xue, Wang Dao offended the adult, please forgive the adult!" Wang Tao has a secret letter to present to the adult, please look at it. ”

After that, Wang Tao took out a secret letter from his arms and sent it to An He with both hands. (To be continued.) )
