In the Xianju Hall of Shangyang Palace, Li Zhi lay on the couch to recuperate, Wu Zetian sat on the side of the couch, and after drinking all the palace people, he personally beat Li Zhi's body.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about the matter of Taiping!?" Wu Zetian asked Li Zhidao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, softly.

"Well, this little girl wants to get married, hehe!" Li Zhi said with a smile, but did not open his eyes.

"Alas, this kid..."Wu Zetian sighed, "I really like that kid!"

"Xiao Yan'er has a high vision, we have recruited so many people for her, and we can't even look down on her, but now we look at one, isn't it good," Li Zhi opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "Mei Niang, isn't this what you arranged?" ”

Wu Zetian shook his head, "Although the ancestor of the Liu family is also a big family, compared to other families, it is still a little worse, not to mention that now Liu Xianli has died of illness... The wives of Liu Yi's two elder brothers are all women from ordinary official eunuch families, and the concubines don't want Taiping to marry into such a family!"

"Oh!? Then I don't understand, why did you give Liu Fu and Liu Yi such grace? Li Zhi sat up and looked at Wu Zetian puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the concubine just thinks that Liu Yi is outstanding in humanities and martial arts, and he is a rare talent, and the concubine is from the heart of His Majesty's network talent, plus Liu Yi saved Taiping's life, for the sake of the royal family's face, he should be given a heavy reward... Liu Xianli is a loyal and brave general, which is why he gave them such grace!" Wu Zetian and Li Zhi sat up side by side and said unhurriedly.

"Liu Yi is not a bad talent, and it stands to reason that the imperial court should also be reused," Li Zhi frowned and looked at Wu Zetian for a while, and then continued: "Mei Niang, but what you did made me always feel that I was looking for a good son-in-law for Taiping..."

"If Liu Xianli is still alive, why not think about it," Wu Zetian shook his head again and said, "But now that Liu Mansion is in such a situation... The concubine will not let Taiping marry Liu Yi..."

"Since you don't want Taiping to marry Liu Yi, is it too much favor for Liu Yi?" Li Zhi still circled the problem back.

"The concubine did this, one is to repay the grace of saving his life for Taiping," Wu Zetian still said unhurriedly, "It is such an unusual grace that will not consider letting Taiping marry, if you have considered letting Taiping marry, why do you need these grace means, just promise to marry..."

Li Zhi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "What else?" ”

"Second, Liu Yi's civil and military performance is different from that of mortals, such a talent is really unique in my Tang Dynasty, and can only be used by the imperial court, so it must be favored, so that this son can be grateful to the imperial court, and loyally serve His Majesty and do things for the imperial court! Talented people must be reused, this is the way of employing people that His Majesty said in the past, and all this done by the concubines is for the sake of His Majesty!"

Li Zhi's eyes shone with a different light, he looked at Wu Zetian, but he still couldn't help but say nothing, and motioned for Wu Zetian to continue.

Wu Zetian saw the doubts in Li Zhi's heart, took Li Zhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Does the emperor think that the concubine is selfish?" How dare the concubines be selfish, this is all for the emperor's consideration, doesn't the emperor also appreciate Liu Yi? The concubine is a woman, she is careful in her work, and it is not better for the concubine to do the things that win the hearts of the people? ”

"I'm worried that if Taiping is going to marry Liu Yi, how can I do it?" Li Zhi was noncommittal, returned to his usual expression, did not dwell on this issue, but still returned to his daughter's marriage, he was quite fond of Liu Yi, a young man.

"Liu Yi's matter, the concubine has thought about it a lot, and she also wants to give him a marriage," Wu Zetian said, "If Liu Yi has a marriage contract, then Taiping will naturally die, and after we look for a good character and martial arts for Taiping, isn't it okay?" ”

"Oh, it turns out that Mei Niang is preparing to take Liu Yi as her personal female official?" Li Zhi smiled faintly.

"What the concubine does can't hide from the emperor's eyes!" Wu Zetian chuckled and said: "Liu Yi and Wan'er are talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match, but now Liu Yi is still keeping filial piety for his father, and he can't have a marriage contract, and the concubines are not willing to let Wan'er, a person with good talent and surname, leave the palace now!"

"I don't understand, Shangguan Yi's granddaughter, you are so relieved to give it reuse?" Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetiandao, who was full of smiles, without any expression on his face.

"The emperor can rest assured, Shangguan Wan'er is only sixteen years old, she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, no matter how scheming she is, she can't escape the eyes of the concubine," Wu Zetian still said with a smile, "But the concubine is not very worried about her, so she wants to give her to Liu Yi in marriage, these concubines also let her take care of Liu Yi's affairs, so that the two have more time to contact, I don't believe that there is no personal relationship between them!"

Wu Zetian did this, of course, there was a deeper purpose, he could show greater favor to Liu Yi, and at the same time, he could also control Liu Yi through Shangguan Wan'er, who she regarded as a confidant and was trained by her, and after Liu Yi's position was promoted in the future, every move could be learned through Shangguan Wan'er.

"Mei Niang is really thoughtful!" Li Zhi finally showed a smile, "So Liu Yi won't be grateful to you for the rest of his life!"

"Thank you for the emperor's praise, everything the concubine has done is for the emperor, for my Tang Dynasty," Wu Zetian leaned over to Li Zhi's side, "The concubine did this, the emperor didn't blame, the concubine was relieved!"

"Mei Niang, it's good for you to arrange it like this, it's just that the child Taiping is stubborn, if she really falls in love with Liu Yi with all her heart, how can it be good?" Li Zhi said worriedly, when this baby daughter is going to die or live, then he will not withdraw.

Wu Zetian approached Li Zhi's side again, and said a little mysteriously, "The concubine has already taken a fancy to one person for Taiping, and Bao will definitely satisfy Taiping!"

"Who is it?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"It's the emperor's grandson, Xue Shao, the second son of Princess Chengyang!" Wu Zetian whispered to Li Zhi: "This concubine has seen, born a talent, literary talent and martial arts are good, now just turned nineteen years old, unmarried, just two years ago by His Majesty pardoned, into the right guard army as a captain, the concubine wants him to enter the palace to be on duty, as the Taiping guard, such an arrangement the emperor thinks is good?" ”

"Xue Shao?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, patted his head and said: "I have seen this son a few times, but I was still young at the time, and I can't see anything unusual, so let's do it, Mei Niang, when will you summon this son into the palace, let me see!"

In the second year of Xianheng, because Princess Chengyang was involved in witchcraft, her husband Xue Qian was demoted to Fangzhou Assassin History, Princess Chengyang followed her husband out of Beijing, and the two sons Xue Yi and Xue Shao also went to Fangzhou, until two years ago, they were pardoned and returned to Beijing, and Li Zhi had not seen these two grandsons for many years.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubines will arrange it, and the concubines will also be satisfied with the husband chosen for him this time!" Seeing that Li Zhi did not object, Wu Zetian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her baby daughter fell in love with Liu Yi so quickly, somewhat unexpectedly by Wu Zetian, when she said that Princess Taiping's performance on the polo field, she was deeply worried, during this time, she also let Liu Yi take more vacations, not let Liu Yi and Princess Taiping meet, and let Shangguan Wan'er personally tidy up the house for Liu Yi, she hoped that her baby daughter could give up because of Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er's friendship...
