In August of the third year of the Holy Calendar, the northwest was full of wolf smoke, and the situation was turbulent.

First, there was Tubo Koubian and invaded Liangzhou; Later, there was a silent sip to send troops to commit Longyou. Although the Tang army sent troops to resist, the Turkic soldiers and horses came and went like the wind, and quickly withdrew after plundering tens of thousands of war horses in the Longyou Horse Farm, which made the Tang army pounce.

This also made Wu Zetian feel disgraced!

This is the second time that Wu Zetian has suffered the loss of the Turks in three years, and he was still being played by the same person. How could the arrogant Wu Zetian give up? Fortunately, Tang Xiujing and Guo Yuanzhen designed to introduce the Tubo army into the Hongyuan Valley, and then a fire, saying that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tubo were burned, which can be regarded as saving Wu Zetian's face.

After the defeat of the Tibetan army, Wu Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, good news came from Anxi, after Bo Lu broke through the siege of Michuan, he colluded with Cao Xishika, the governor of Tianma, in an attempt to occupy the corner of Tianma City and resist stubbornly. Fortunately, Yang Shouwen appeared in time and persuaded the followers of Allah in Tianma City to kill Bo Lu. In the end, Bo Lu's entire army was wiped out, and after being rescued by his daughter Lu Nuer, his whereabouts are still unknown, and he has not been heard from at all.

Cao Xishika was captured by Yang Shouwen and sent to the Western Cao Kingdom for disposal.

In any case, Cao Xishika is the Tianma Governor of the Western Cao Kingdom, and even if Yang Shouwen is under the emperor's order, he has no right to dispose of it.

This is already an issue between the two countries, so it can only be reported to Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian will send an envoy to Xicao State to negotiate.

As for whether Cao Xishika was finally executed by Western Cao Guo or executed by Wu Zetian, it is not something that Yang Shouwen can intervene in.

The night is getting deeper.

In the Shangyang Palace of Luoyang, the divine capital, Wu Zetian also felt inexplicably tired after watching the recitals presented in the Guanfeng Palace.

It's old after all!

has passed his seventy-six-year-old birthday, and Wu Zetian feels more and more that his energy is not as strong as before.

I think that at the beginning, when she first ascended to the Ninety-Five Honor, even though she was in her sixties, she could still handle affairs all night.

Can ...... now

"Wan'er, what time is it?"

Wu Zetian stretched his waist and looked up and asked.

Although she now reuses Zhang Yizhi's brothers, she has reduced Xiaoluantai's power a lot. But this does not mean that Wu Zetian no longer trusts Shangguan Wan'er, she can only say that she needs Shangguan Wan'er to be by her side anytime and anywhere, waiting for her dispatch.

Your Majesty Dan, Shangguan Wan'er finished processing it in a note, then packed it up, got up and sent it to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, it's past time."

"Is it past the hour?"

Wu Zetian showed a look of surprise, glanced at the music in front of him, smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.

"It's really out of energy, it's too late, and there are still so many things to deal with."

"Your Majesty, the important matters have been taken care of, and the rest are mostly inconsequential, so it is better to deal with them tomorrow."

Wu Zetian didn't answer, closed his eyes, and lay on his side on the dragon couch.

After a moment, she asked softly, "How's the situation on Anxi's side?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I have sent Guo Yuanzhen to the Western Cao Kingdom to ask the Lord of the Western Cao Kingdom for Cao Xishika."

"You say, why did Caosishka collude with Bo Lu? He is also the governor of Tianma, which is comparable to the history of a state in the Central Plains. That day Ma Cheng is the hard work of his ancestors for several generations, why should he give up? I really can't figure it out. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian opened his eyes and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

It's not that she can't figure it out, she has more or less some guesses in her heart, but she is just a little uncertain.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this...... If you really can't guess, just after Cao Sishka was escorted over, Miki couldn't allow him not to speak. ”

"That's right!"

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile and said, "Since Junchen's death, the ten tortures he designed have been sealed for too long. ”

A touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er shivered at Ling Ling, and there was no interface.

Wu Zetian's words, although they were meant to be joking. But Shangguan Wan'er knew that behind the joke, there was a strong killing intent hidden. Wu Zetian has never been the kind of soft-hearted person! Over the years, as she has grown older, she is indeed no longer as ferocious as she was at the beginning. But if you think she's old and easy to bully? That's a mistake!

It is conceivable that after Cao Xishika is escorted to Luoyang, the gods will inevitably set off a bloody storm......

"By the way, where are Yang Qingzhi and them?"

"Today I received a report from Tingzhou, saying that they arrived in Tingzhou five days ago, but they did not go to Jinmancheng, but went to Juliu City. According to the news from Tingzhou, Qingzhi took in an apprentice in Tingzhou, and it seems that he is going to his apprentice's house. Counting the days, he should have left Tingzhou by now, almost to Wuwei in Liangzhou. ”

"So slow!"

Wu Zetian showed dissatisfaction, and said softly: "Procrastinating, I can't tell the difference between one and the other." ”

"Otherwise, I'll send someone to meet you?"

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Forget it...... This kid has suffered a lot of sins and suffered a lot on his westward journey this time, which can be regarded as a merit. You don't have to rush him, just wait for him to come back. It's a pity! We realized it a little late, so much so that Yan Zhi ...... Wan'er, you don't have to meddle in this matter, let Gorou and them do it when the time comes. ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning.

This is tantamount to letting Zhang Yizhi's brother continue to investigate, can her Xiaoluantai say......

"Also, you sort out the affairs of Xiaoluantai and hand it over to the prince when you turn it over."

"Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Wan'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly spoke.

It's just that she didn't wait for her to speak, so she listened to Wu Zetian say: "Wan'er is almost the age of not being confused." ”

"This ...... Yes. ”

"Women's families, read more books, learn some female celebrities, don't intrigue with others all day long, and figure out other people's thoughts. Presumably, your Yang Lang is also because of this, so he has not expressed his attitude. It's time to do what a woman should do, otherwise, how can you rest assured that Yang Lang? ”

Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood Wu Zetian's thoughts.

I thought that I was hiding it well, but I didn't expect that Wu Zetian still saw the flaws.

The pretty face suddenly flew red, and Shangguan Wan'er actually showed the appearance of her little daughter, lowering her head, looking helpless.

Wu Zetian didn't just smile when he saw her like this.

"Wan'er, do you really think that I want to reduce Xiao Luantai's power?

Over the years, Xiao Luantai has helped me a lot, but there are many things that I can't say, and I have really wronged you. Now, I will hand over Xiao Luantai to the prince, and I believe that the prince will understand what I mean, and it will be of great help to him. ”

It can be heard that Wu Zetian is quite satisfied with Li Xian's performance in this paragraph.

Shangguan Wan'er was about to thank her, but she heard a rush of footsteps outside the Wind Viewing Palace.

She turned her head to look, and saw the waiter Zhang Danian running in like a gust of wind, looking a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Danian, what makes you so flustered?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Di Gong's youngest son Di Jinghui asked to see him outside the palace, saying that Di Gong might not be able to ......" (to be continued.) )
