Chapter 274: To the Palace
Early the next morning, after Wu Qing came out of Princess Taiping's peony garden, his face was full of satisfaction, and the wildness of Taiping always gave him a different kind of stimulation, which was not only physical, but also the evil seed in his heart.
Once upon a time, a generation of slings could also marry a princess, and they could leave a strong mark in this history? Not to mention other merits, let's just say that this princess of Taiping can be famous for eternity.
Out of the peony garden, he changed into the official uniform of the three grades, facing the rising sun, and walked towards the imperial city, he had to play the right role to the prime ministers, and then go to see the Empress Dowager Wu, because he was no longer in the political hall to participate in politics, so he could not go to face the saint without being summoned by the new emperor.
Riding a sweaty horse, he stepped across the familiar Tianjin Bridge, and then entered the Duanmen, tied the horse in the Honglu Temple, and then walked towards Yingtianmen, and then turned to Changle Gate, and arrived in Zhongshu Province. Now the government hall is in Zhongshu Province, so the prime ministers discuss here most of the time.
After entering the political affairs hall, Pei Yan had long known that Wu Qing was coming, and he was not as surprised as others.
Wu Qing bowed his hand first, and said: "The lower officials have seen the Zhongshu Order, and they have seen the waiter, my lords!" ”
Pei Yan said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, please take a seat." Now that Qingxin Academy is almost completed, you can let Qixia Mountain relocate. The servants used have all been allocated to the Qingxin Academy. ”
Wu Qing smiled: "Then thank you Zhongshu Ling and all the adults." ”
Pei Yan nodded and said: "The Holy Lord and the Queen Mother agree very much with what the virtuous nephew did in Xuzhou, and I believe that the virtuous nephew will be reinstated in a few days and enter the political hall." ”
Wu Qing smiled slightly. said: "Then borrow Zaifu Jiyan!" ”
After a few words of greeting in the political affairs hall, he briefly reported on the purging of officials and the punishment of Haoqiang in Xuzhou, and all the prime ministers also smiled. There is nothing unpleasant.
Wu Qing immediately said goodbye, turned around and came to the history museum next door to Zhongshu Province, since he was repairing history, then he had to order something here.
Stepping into the antique history museum, a heavy air came to the face, Wuqing has never been here, and the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province are generally concurrently responsible for repairing history. Now that he came here to study history, it is not too depreciating.
Wu Qing walked into the History Museum, and a person rushed to him, and Wu Qing turned around and gave way. The man was stunned, quickly stopped, and looked up to see that it was Wu Qing. He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Student Liu Zhiji has seen the teacher a few times!" ”
Wu Qing was stunned. Only then did I see that it was Liu Zhiji, a handsome young man!
"Zixuan, aren't you in charge of Huojia County?"
Liu Zhiji hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Hui Mentor, the performance appraisal of the year ago, after the Shangyuan Festival, he was awarded the History Museum Work Zuolang, responsible for the compilation of the work. I had heard that my teacher was back, and I wanted to visit the mansion today. But I didn't want my teacher to come to the history museum on the second day. ”
Wu Qing had quite doubts in his heart, but he still said: "Since this is the case, then do a good job here, and don't lose the reputation of my Pure Heart Academy." ”
The student remembered. Teacher inside please! Liu Zhi bowed a few times, and then said: "Nowadays, most of the people in the history museum are literary scholars, and I am afraid that teachers need to bother." ”
Wu Qing nodded and said, "Cultivating history is not a matter of one or two people, so let's do it slowly." ”
Later, Wu Qing saw the editors, writers, proofreaders and other officials of the History Museum one by one, so he left the History Museum and went to the Zhenguan Palace.
After being summoned by the Empress Dowager Wu, Wu Qing stepped into the palace under the leadership of Shangguan Wan'er, looking at Shangguan Wan'er's more and more mature body, Wu Qing said in a low voice: "Is Wan'er okay in the palace?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head in front of her, and when she turned the screen, she said, "I miss Brother Qing day and night." ”
Wu Qing's heart moved, so he didn't say anything, went straight to the palace, and saw the Empress Dowager Wu reviewing the book after the book case from a distance, so he bowed and said: "Wu Qing has seen my mother!" ”
Today, Wu Qing visited him as a nephew, so he called his mother.
Empress Dowager Wu raised her head and said with a smile: "Qing'er get up, Wan'er, make a pot of tea for Qing'er, and let you taste the difference between the tea in the palace and the tea in your house." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Shangguan Wan'er stepped back.
Empress Dowager Wu stopped writing, stood up, and then walked down and said, "Qing'er sit down and talk." ”
Wu Qing thanked him, sat down and waited for Empress Dowager Wu to speak.
Empress Dowager Wu looked calm, paused, and said: "The purpose of your coming today, this palace also knows, among my martial arts family, the most you have talent, now you are only twenty years old, you are already in a high position, the emperor is afraid that you are proud, so he demoted you to the history of assassination, you are in Xuzhou is a great show of skills, let the world see your means, although this is the blessing of the community, but not the luck of my martial arts." There are many references to your performance in the sect like snowflakes, so the palace has no choice but to put you in an idle position, one is to let you Taoguang and keep obscure for a period of time, and the other is that you should also think about it, governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, not a drastic move can realize your idea of governing the officials. ”
Wu Qing got up and bowed and said, "The child understands, the words of the mother, the child should keep it in mind." ”
Empress Dowager Wu suddenly remembered something, and said: "In a few days, let your mother come to the palace to live for a while, there was a former emperor in the past, and it was inconvenient, and now our sisters can also talk about their hearts." ”
Wu Qing naturally bowed down and agreed. Next, Empress Dowager Wu naturally wanted to ask about Xuzhou, and Wu Qing naturally knew everything, and even told Empress Dowager Wu about asking for citizenship and no slaves without permission. so that the Queen Mother knows that he, Wuqing, will never hide her.
Hearing Wu Qing say such a secret thing, Empress Dowager Wu smiled sincerely and said, "What do you think of those slaves?" ”
Wu Qing arched his hand and said: "Mother, these slaves who have not been able to read and write since childhood, are rare intellectual women in my Tang Dynasty, with good quality, if they reward me with meritorious people in the martial family, they will be happy, and the heirs who give birth are likely to be very good, so that the status of my martial arts family will become more and more stable." ”
Empress Dowager Wu couldn't help but look at this young man strangely, what was this kid thinking in his head? Such a thing can be thought of, it is really a little worrying, fortunately it is the heir of the martial family, otherwise it will really be called a demon!
"In the future, if there is anything big or small, tell me, don't hide it!" Empress Dowager Wu decided to let the child toss for the time being.
Wu Qing hurriedly bowed down and said; "Mother's honor and disgrace are related to the rise and fall of the martial family, and Wu Qing does not dare to hide it in the slightest."
Empress Dowager Wu nodded, a smile on her face.
This time, the aunt and nephew talked for a long time.
After Wuqing left, Pei Yan also came to Zhenguan Palace.
In the Feixiang Palace, a pregnant lady leaned on the railing, and a palace maid hurriedly ran over, leaned over and said, "Back to the queen, Zhou Guogong has left the palace." ”
Empress Wei waved her hand, and she couldn't help but think of that crazy night, the heart-wrenching pleasure, the strength that lingered to resist death. If she hadn't found out she was pregnant a few days later, she didn't know what she would have done. Now that she is the queen, is there still less chance? (To be continued......)
