It has been more than half a year since the construction of the Ming Hall, with 50 million yuan of money and 100,000 people, and it has been built day and night. Now it has begun to take shape, and you can imagine how majestic and magnificent it will be when the Ming Hall is completed. Some of the praisers began to boast.

Empress Dowager Wu was overjoyed, so she ordered all states in the world to gather in Mingtang in the first month of next year to show the Empress Dowager's virtue, and especially let the kings of the clan gather in the Shendu before the year.

Since the Empress Dowager Wu became the system, the clan has been worried. Earlier, when the emperor was there, he belittled the kings and killed Li Ming, the king of Cao, although the first emperor Li Zhi was angry, but he did not do anything to the Empress Dowager Wu. In the past four years of self-proclaimed system, he first rewarded the clan, and then depreciated, and some princesses of the clan who had had a festival with the Empress Dowager Wu were cut down and confiscated from their food, and exiled to the Lingnan frontier and other places. and then Li Xiaoyi was belittled to Danzhou and died, and the clan can be said to be panicked.

Nowadays, Li Yuanjia, the king of Jiangzhou Thorn History, Li Yuanliang, the king of Qingzhou Thorn Shihuo, Li Lingkui, the king of Xingzhou Thorn Shilu, Li Zhen, the king of Yuzhou Thorn Shiyue, Li Yuanjia's son Tongzhou Thorn Shi Li Xu, the son of Li Yuanliang, the son of Li Yuanliang, the king of Jinzhou Thorn Jiangdu Li Xu, the son of Li Feng, the son of Li Feng, the son of Li Rong, the son of Li Lingkui, the king of Fanyang, Li Ai, the son of Li Zhen, and Li Chong, the evil king of Bozhou Thorn Shilang, are quite prestigious in the clan, and they have always been feared by the Empress Dowager Wu, but these people have not moved.

Among them, Li Yuanjia is the most noble, and he has a good reputation in the world. It is said that he was unusually bright at a young age, read extensively, and was able to recite scriptures and histories. The most amazing thing is that he can draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand, which shows that his talent is not small, and he is known as the "fairy boy".

In short, with Li Yuanjia's father and son as the center, the clan has long begun to conspire. It's a pity that the clans are scattered in the south and the north. It can only be contacted by letter, and the clan has many scruples. On this occasion, Empress Dowager Wu ordered the clans to go to the Divine Capital, which made these clans suddenly feel a sense of urgency.

In short, with the edict of the Empress Dowager Wu. Whether it is the court or the clan, it seems that a storm has blown.

Wuqing is very leisurely on the surface, and the county order of Wuqing County was handed over to Yan Yuansun, he is very relieved, not to mention that the Queen Mother allows it, and he is also happy to be idle. While fighting against Confucianism, I also wrote some puzzle math problems in the fresh daily newspaper for those who read the newspaper to think about it.

And so. In the daily teahouse of Shendu, there are people who specialize in solving problems and make a career out of it. Under the reign of terror of Empress Dowager Wu, the dignitaries also had a little pastime, and no longer held women every day to vent their fears.

But. is living his own little life on the side of Wuqing. On the other hand, when he secretly trained the dead, Li Chong, the king of Bozhou Assassin Shi Langya, rebelled!

Empress Dowager Wu obviously didn't expect the backlash from the clan to be so strong, and hurriedly summoned Wu Qing.

When Wu Qing stepped into Lichun Terrace, Empress Dowager Wu was pacing, looking very anxious.

After the ceremony, Empress Dowager Wu asked straight to the point: "The clan has rebelled, and my Wu clan is on the occasion of survival, what do you think?" ”

Wu Qing was also stunned. The clan rebelled, that was not child's play. If you don't know it, you will be used by people with good intentions, and I am afraid that a war will start because of this.

So, he said slowly: "Mother, don't be impatient, is there any urgent report?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu was obviously a little worried, so she took a roll of paper, Wu Qing took it and took a look, and knew that it must be the handwriting of the plum blossom guard, and saw that there were only a few words on the note, "Langya King Li Chong rebelled", which means that the emergency report has not yet reached the imperial court, "Mother, can other clans rebel?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Qing'er is really a person who wakes up in a dream, and I don't know the situation of other clans yet." ”

Wu Qing said: "The kings of the clan are all divided into various places, if they have been plotting for a long time, then Li Chong will not be the only one who rebels. Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the clans are concentrated in Bozhou, but in this way, it is inconvenient for them to recruit troops. So this time the clan rebelled, I'm afraid only Langya King Li Chong rebelled, and my mother didn't have to worry. can organize 20,000 troops in case of emergency, if the clan is opposed, it is most important to stabilize the gods, and only Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, has the most respected status in the clan, but he is already seventy years old, so there is nothing to worry about. The rest of the clans must not be united, and the ministers can be defeated one by one. ”

Hearing Wu Qing's assurance, the stone pressed on Empress Dowager Wu's heart was suddenly withdrawn, and she laughed and said, "My Wu clan has distant mountains, which is really the luck of the Wu clan." So I can rest easy. Then he ordered: "Tuan'er, go and prepare lunch, I want to eat with Qing'er." ”

Taking advantage of her free time, Empress Dowager Wu picked up the fresh daily newspaper and said, "There is a question on it, can you see if I answered it correctly or not?" ”

Wu Qing saw that it was a mathematical problem, "If 1=5,2=15,3=215,4=3215, ask 5=?" ”

Let's first explain that after the introduction of basic mathematics, Wu Qing replaced "etc" with the character "=", so Empress Dowager Wu, who is quite concerned about science, also knows some basic mathematics, and is still very interested in this kind of puzzle mathematics.

Wu Qing asked, "What does Mother think is the answer?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "I discussed it with Wan'er, I said that the answer was 43215, but Wan'er said that it shouldn't be so simple, but I really can't think of it, you see this 1=5, 2=15"

Wu Qing turned to Wan'er, who was sorting out the music on the side, and said with a smile: "What does Shangguan think the answer is?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er naturally didn't dare to answer, but Empress Dowager Wu saw Shangguan Wan'er's dexterity, so she smiled and said: "Wan'er said it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Shangguan Wan'er bowed and said, "Wan'er thinks it should be 1"

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Wu was stunned, and then smiled: "This answer is really 1, I was really tempted by the front!" ”

Wu Qing couldn't help but admire Shangguan Wan'er's intelligence, in fact, this question is the easiest to make people think habitually, and forget that there is an equal sign in the middle of the number, the meaning of the equal sign, no matter how you assume, the meaning is unchanged.

At this time, lunch had been served, and Empress Dowager Wu asked Wu Qing to sit down, and took out all the wine in the palace, which showed Wu Qing's status.

At this time, the palace people came to report, "God Emperor, Master Xue came to pay a visit." ”

Since Xue Huaiyi supervised the construction of the Ming Hall, he rarely returned to the White Horse Temple, and two years ago he also built another temple in the Jianchun Gate, most of the time to eat in the palace, and to sleep for the Queen Mother at night, if it were not for General Wuda, how dare those palace people stop it.

Empress Dowager Wu was a little hesitant, after all, she knew that Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi and others were leading the horse for Xue Huaiyi, but she didn't know Wu Qing's attitude towards Xue Huaiyi.

Although Wu Qing didn't like Xue Huaiyi, because Xue Huaiyi was really vulgar except for his muscles, but Empress Dowager Wu liked to be so strong, and she could see that Empress Dowager Wu was a little hesitant, so she got up and said, "Master Xue is here, why didn't Mother call to dine together?" ”

Wu Qing did not have the slightest pressure on Empress Dowager Wu to find her face, this is the work of the thoughts of her previous life, not to mention that this is also the power of Empress Dowager Wu, she should not endure loneliness and loneliness just because she is the Empress Dowager. Of course, such thinking is not tolerated by etiquette.

Hearing Wu Qing say this, Empress Dowager Wu smiled, after all, she herself also likes Xue Huaiyi, "Just let Master Xue come in, Tuan'er, and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Xue Huaiyi became more and more arrogant, but he didn't dare to be wild in front of Wu Qing, one was recommended by Princess Taiping, and the other was since he followed the Empress Dowager Wu, he had a deep understanding of these powerful people, who should be messed with and who should not be messed with, he was clear, and he was a street performer, and it was common to observe words and looks.

For example, when he entered the palace today, he learned that Wu Qing was going to have dinner with the Queen Mother, so he couldn't enter the palace with a swagger as usual. After learning that the Queen Mother let him in, he hurried into Lichun Terrace.

Xue Huaiyi saw from a distance a young and bookish boy talking and laughing with the Empress Dowager Wu. When he approached, he bowed down and said, "Huaiyi greets the God Emperor." Then he bowed to Wu Qing and said, "Huaiyi meets the general." ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, quickly got up, and said: "Master Huaiyi supervises the construction of the Ming Hall, showing the demeanor of my god, and he has made great contributions, how dare the young general accept this great gift." With that, he returned the gift.

Empress Dowager Wu smiled, one was her lover, and the other was her beloved general, so she smiled and said, "You guys, get up quickly, sit down, and dine with me." ”

And they sat down separately.

Xue Huaiyi was originally a gangster, but he was later accepted as his godson by Huren Suo Yuanli, taught some martial arts, and let him go to the rivers and lakes to sell strong pills. So he developed a strong body and a mouth that could speak. Therefore, it only took a moment for Xue Huaiyi's ability to be revealed.

The ancients said, "Eat is silent, sleep is silent", but Xue Huaiyi always puts the words of these sages in his eyes, not to mention that Empress Dowager Wu now denigrates Confucianism and Taoism and advocates Buddhism, so Xue Huaiyi is eating vegetables while talking about stealing chickens and dogs when he was a child.

Xue Huaiyi can be favored, it can be seen that he also has his ability, not only is he physically strong, but he is also very pleasing to people. Empress Dowager Wu is a saint, the highest ruler of the empire, entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and has lived a worry-free life since she was a child, how can she know the childhood troubles of these poor children? I can't help but listen to it with relish.

Bozhou.

The rebellion of Li Chong, the king of Langya, caught the clan a little off guard, and he was very impatient. This time, he was ready to learn the lesson of Xu Jingye and planned to take the eastern capital first, so he led his troops out of Bozhou City, but he was resisted by Wushui County, a subordinate county. After attacking for a day, he could not capture it, so he ordered the city gate to be burned, but the wind changed and he was almost burned to death, so he retreated.

After Empress Dowager Wu settled down, she sent Qiu Shenji, one of her more trusted cool officials and the general of Zuojin Wuwei, to command 50,000 troops as the head of the Qingbian Road march. (To be continued......)
