In April, Chang'an was in a state of hunger and panic, and the Tang Dynasty also ushered in a severe test, when the Tubo Qinling Tomb attacked Zhezhou, Songzhou, Yizhou and other places in the southwest.

After the Eastern Turks destroyed the country in the fourth year of Zhenguan, they were driven by the Tang Dynasty and rebelled many times. Gu Lu was established as the Khan of Jieqiuli, and Yuan Zhen was Abo Dagan, commanding the troops and horses. Brother Feng sipping silently for the set, and he was the leaf household. The Turkic people were divided into two districts, Turki and Datou, for management. For a time, the Turkic people rushed to go, and the momentum was huge.

As soon as the emperor and the queen of heaven arrived in Luoyang, such a thing happened, and people were panicked, and it happened that Li Jingxuan died of illness at this time, and the emperor had a headache under his grief. At this time, someone reported that the medicine king Sun Simiao had passed away. Emperor Li Zhi completely fainted.

Soon after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, Li Zhi improved slightly. He listened to the opinions of the Queen of Heaven, and then took the Yellow Gate Servant Guo Zhiju, the Soldier Squire Cen Changqian, the Zhongshu Squire Guo Zhengyi, and the Officials Servant Wei Xuantong and the Zhongshu Men to bear the Jinzhiping Zhang. Since he is the official governor of the fourth rank of the foreign department, he is named after "Pingzhang Affairs". This was the third step taken by Emperor Li Zhi to weaken the power of the governors of the three provinces, namely the prime ministers, of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia.

Earlier, the power of the prime minister was weakened by "participating in the governor's affairs", and later the "participation in the governor's affairs" was replaced by the three products under the Tongzhongshu sect, which was used to squeeze out the servants of the head of Shangshu. Nowadays, the "Pingzhang Affairs" allows low-level officials to participate in the governor's affairs with the prime ministers, and gradually replaces the three grades under the Tongzhong Shumen, and then crowds out the Zhongshu Ling and the Shizhong.

Although this reform was carried out. As a result, there are more people involved in political affairs, but they still can't solve practical problems. The Western Turks besieged the Moon Bow City, and the Eastern Turks plundered the Tiele tribes. Presumably, it will soon invade Yunzhou, Bingzhou and other places. The Tibetans attacked the southwest and had a tendency to attack the source of the river.

Under such a crisis situation, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people were struggling to make a living. The emperor then listened to the opinions of the queen of heaven, and basically the queen of heaven handled the affairs of the court. Xue Rengui was reinstated, and he was named the general of the right leading army, and the acting governor of the state. Ordered him to go to Yunzhou to quell the rebellion.

And Wu Qing, who was at ease, also received the holy decree.

On this day, after Wu Qing secretly brought Yushu back to his courtyard, he ordered him to change into men's clothes. But Yushu was too feminine, and Wu Qing had to put on makeup to look like a man. Wu Qing was satisfied.

At this time, Taiping walked into the study and didn't notice the little guy next to Wu Qing. Then he asked, "How is Ah Lang's inspection today?" ”

Wu Qing was embarrassed in his heart. said: "There are dead bodies inside and outside the city, and I didn't make it." Taiping, just as you came, I'm here to discuss something with you. ”

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ah Lang will say something if he has something." ”

Wu Qing said: "In this year of famine, I want to take in some slaves, one saves people's lives and the other is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the two mansions really need some slaves who can work." ”

Wu Qing's implication is that the palace maids you brought are all posing, and Taiping is also clear. These palace maids are just serving people, and they rarely do dirty work. But it seems that he also brought official slaves.

"Ah Lang thinks it's okay, so it's okay, just a few slaves." Taiping didn't doubt him, so he agreed, not to mention that this is also a way to save people's lives.

Next, Wu Qing and Taiping are in love before they can do things.

On the second day, sure enough, there were dozens of people from outside the mansion, and Wu Qing ordered the housekeeper to pay attention to it in the morning, so they were all included in the mansion soon, and then Wu Qingping retired from the idle people, leaving these thirty-nine people.

Wu Qing said: "When you enter the mansion, you will do things well, in addition to the money in the house, you also have my money, your task is not to protect the mansion, but to monitor every move in the mansion for me, especially the princess, to see who she receives every day, and as soon as there is a situation, she will come to report." Understandable? ”

"My subordinates understand!" Thirty-nine people fell to one knee.

Wu Qing's eyes froze, and he said: "In the future, you can't call me the master, your current identity is a slave in the house, pretend to be your identity!" ”

"Yes, Ah Lang!" Thirty-nine people switched roles in an instant.

Wu Qing was satisfied, and said with a smile: "In this way, you go down to rest, and someone will divide you everywhere." ”

Waiting for the thirty-nine people to retreat, Wu Qing looked at the jade Shu beside him, sniffed closely, a smell of sweat hit his nose, Wu Qing was furious, and asked, "Didn't I let someone give you spices?" ”

Yushu was nervous for a while, and said: "Ah Lang is angry, Yushu thinks that Yushu is now dressed as a man, and if there is a fragrance, he is afraid of arousing the suspicion of others." ”

"Huh?" This girl turned out to be so smart, after looking at it again, Wu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, you did the right thing." "I wanted to kiss it, but when I thought of the smell of sweat, I lost interest at all.

After a while, the palace maid Ning Xiang came, bowed to greet her, and said, "Donkey, the emperor's decree has arrived, and the princess has asked you to receive it!" ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, it must be no good thing to come to the Holy Decree at this time. He agreed, and stepped out of the study, followed by Ning Xiang.

After not taking a few steps, Wu Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "Ning Xiang, you are so beautiful!" ”

Ning Xiang was stunned for a moment, her face was blushing, but she didn't speak. Wu Qing laughed, and then walked into the princess's courtyard, the peony garden.

Now the peonies in the garden are in bud form, and in May, they will gradually bloom. This used to be the courtyard of Princess Taiping, and a large number of peonies were planted, so it was renamed Peony Garden. When Wu Qing arrived at the main hall, he saw Princess Taiping sitting at the top, and two eunuchs at the bottom.

Wu Qingxian bowed his hand and said: "Weichen meets the princess and the ambassador!" ”

For the concubine to see the princess to salute, so that Wu Qing was very angry, they all became husband and wife, and they had to salute like this, but fortunately, Taiping asked to bow only on formal occasions. This made Wu Qing feel a little better.

Marrying a princess is a sin! Wu Qing sighed in his heart.

Princess Taiping got up and walked up to her and said, "Father has a decree, come and receive it." ”

Wu Qing and Taiping knelt down in unison.

The ambassador smiled and read: "The emperor has a decree, the edict says: Wuqing, when he was young, he worshiped Yinggong Li Ji as a teacher, he was smart since he was a child, studied scriptures and history, and had the right to plan. Wu Qing is specially appointed as the general of the right Wuwei of the inspection school, and the head of the march of Lingyun Middle Road, and set off on the same day! ”

Wu Qing was angry in his heart, he and Taiping were newly married Yan'er, and at this time let himself go out to fight for him, how can he rest assured, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is really uneasy.

But Wu Qing had no choice but to thank the emperor, and Taiping's face was happy. It seems that her pleas have worked. (To be continued......)
