Chapter 195: Going to the Feast

At this time, Li Tao saw that Princess Taiping was extremely enthusiastic, and he also stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Tao'er has seen my aunt!" ”

Princess Taiping pointed to a woman beside her and said, "Tao'er, let me introduce you, this is Shangguan Wan'er, who is known as the first talented woman in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er has a bun and exposed sideburns, lightly sweeping her eyebrows and eyes with spring, her skin is as delicate as warm jade, her soft light is greasy, her cherry mouth is red without a point, and there is a red plum blossom tattooed on her forehead, which adds a bit of attractive style.

Li Tao said politely: "Li Tao paid a visit to Shangguan Zhaorong. ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded and returned a salute to Li Tao.

Princess Taiping pointed to another person: "This is ......."

Li Tao said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't need to be introduced, Cui Shilang and I have long known each other!" ”

Cui Xiang stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan has seen King Lantian. ”

Li Tao stepped forward and patted Cui Xiang's shoulder and smiled: "Old Cui, have you forgotten how you called me before?" If you still treat me as your own person, you shouldn't call me the king of Lantian! ”

Cui Xiang sneered and said, "Li Xiaolangjun! ”

"That's right!" Li Tao said with a smile on his face: "Lao Cui, today we will borrow my aunt's wine to get drunk!" ”

Princess Taiping saw Li Tao's performance, the brilliance in her eyes was fleeting, and Ying Ying smiled: "Don't worry, I have enough wine here!" ”

Princess Taiping led the three of them to the living room to sit down: "There are no outsiders today, just the four of us, just have fun!" ”

Li Tao clapped his hands and smiled: "What my aunt said is that I like to play the most, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lao Cui." These days in Chang'an, I'm almost suffocating to death! Auntie, what's so fun with you? ”

Princess Taiping quietly glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and said to Li Tao with some embarrassment: "Tao'er, my aunt has something to ask you!" ”

Li Tao was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a big grin: "Auntie, just say anything, as long as I can do it, I will not shirk!" ”

"I made a bet with someone else to do one thing in three days, but today is the third day, and I have never done it, so I have to ask Tao'er to help me!"

Li Tao's mind was spinning rapidly, guessing what kind of calculation Princess Taiping was playing, but he said: "What is there that can be rare to live in my aunt, let me hear it!" ”

Princess Taiping shouted to the outside of the hall, "Take it in!" ”

A maid brought a tray with a transparent glass bottle on it, and there seemed to be a money in it.

Princess Taiping took the bottle, and the money in it was suspended. Li Tao looked at it, and it turned out that there was a thin thread in the bottle, one end of the thin thread was tied to the money, and the other end was connected to the cork, and the stopper had completely sealed the bottle.

"All I need to do is not break the bottle, remove the cork, break the cotton thread in the bottle!" Princess Taiping said.

Li Tao frowned, he didn't know what Princess Taiping meant. If he just made a bet with others to help himself, Li Tao would not believe it if he killed himself.

You must know that Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Princess Taiping is a politically talented woman, as early as when Wu Zetian was in power, she often gave advice to Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian even asked her to help get rid of Xue Huaiyi, a male pet who caused a lot of trouble for herself.

In Wu Zetian's later years, Zhang Yizhi's brother relied on Wu Zetian's favor and became powerful, and there was a momentum of prosperity and death for those who went against it. In the first year of Wu Zetian's Chang'an, the Zhang brothers forced Li Chongrun, the king of Shao, his sister Yongtai County Lord, and his brother-in-law Wu Yanji, the king of Wei, to death in prison. This offended not only the Li family, but also the Wu family, forcing them to unite against Erzhang.

In the first year of Shenlong, Zhang Cambodia and others raised troops to punish two Zhang, Princess Taiping participated in the coup d'Γ©tat, forced Wu Zetian to be located in Zhongzong, changed "Zhou" to "Tang", and she was named "Princess Taiping of Zhenguo" for her merits. Princess Taiping's vision is far better than that of her two elder brothers Li Xian and Li Dan, comparable to Wu Zetian, she likes to fight for righteousness and squandering money, and often helps scholars, so scholars praise her and are willing to follow her.

Shangguan Wan'er is known as the "women's prime minister", her grandfather was the prime minister when Tang Gaozong, and was later killed for a crime. Shangguan Wan'er has been smart since she was a child and has never forgotten.

In the second year of Yifeng, Wu Zetian summoned Shangguan Wan'er and ordered her to write an article according to the title on the spot. Shangguan Wan'er's writing does not add points, the article is smooth and beautiful, and the handwriting is neat and beautiful. Wu Zetian was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately removed her as a slave and maid, and let her be in charge of the edict in the palace. Since then, Wu Zetian has issued a decree, and there are more Shangguan Wan'er's handwritings.

After Wu Zetian's death, he was named Zhaorong by Tang Zhongzong, and he was the second official position. According to the usual practice, the imperial court proclamations were drafted by famous Confucian scholars, but in the Zhongzong Dynasty, Shangguan Wan'er approved the performance of the Quartet and drafted the imperial decrees with the power of one person, which shows the literary accomplishment.

Shangguan Wan'er also made a statement to Tang Zhongzong, set up a Xiuwen Museum, and recruited the world's poetry and literary talents, every time she traveled, Shangguan Wan'er wrote several poems for Zhongzong, Empress Wei and Princess Anle, the poems were beautiful, and some were even sung by the people at that time. For the poems written by the ministers, Zhongzong ordered Shangguan Wan'er to evaluate them, and those who ranked first were often rewarded greatly.

Shangguan Wan'er is not only an amorous and talented woman, but also a scheming political veteran, in the "Shenlong Coup", Wu Zetian was ousted from power, most of the palace maids participated, but Wu Zetian didn't know, and it was Shangguan Wan'er next to Wu Zetian who stopped the information.

Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er found their heads this time, what did they mean?

At this moment, Li Tao inadvertently found that the eyes of the two were separated at a touch, which was quite indescribable.

Li Tao's heart moved: Could it be that Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er have joined forces, and the two of them are ready to deal with Wei Shi together?

Wei and Princess An Le repeatedly falsely accused Princess Taiping and Prime Minister Li Dan, and at the most critical time, Li Chongjun carried out military admonitions and spared them with his own death. Princess Taiping and Webster are already on the same page, and in order to protect themselves, they must also deal with Webster.

Shangguan Wan'er has been in the dynasty for decades, and she has stood tall among the major political forces, with her intelligence, how can she not see that Wei's qi is exhausted, and finding another way out Princess Taiping is naturally the best choice.

Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er joined forces, this is not a small force, if this is the case, then their intention to invite them to this banquet is self-evident, it must be to test themselves.

Before coming to Princess Taiping's mansion for the banquet, Li Tao had already made up his mind, and he was ready to Taoguang to raise obscurity and pretend to be stupid to the end. At this time, he figured this out and changed his mind, he had to fight for these two forces, and pretending to be stupid would definitely not work. Not only can you not pretend to be stupid, but you must also make the other party feel that you should not be underestimated, only in this way will you be able to bargain for bargaining chips.
