Emperor Xuan saw that Zhang Ya allowed, so he said: "Yi Wang Bai Yu and Princess Bai Bing, committed a rebellion, chaos in the temple, the crime is obvious, although the two of them are my brothers and sisters, but the Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, after the two of them defected to the Tianshan Mountain, their whereabouts are still unknown, I am very worried, and I hope that the prime minister will send someone to arrest these two people and bring them to justice." ”

Zhang Ya said: "The court also needs all the ministers to guard, if they are all sent out, who will defend the temple? The ministers think that it is more appropriate to send local officials who can pursue Bai Yu and Bai Bing." Emperor Xuan nodded and said, "Who does the prime minister think can solve this worry for me?"

Zhang Ya thought for a while and said, "Zhong Shan guards Ling Yun, and Yun Meng guards Chu Yuan, and he can take on this responsibility." Emperor Xuan said: "These two are new officials, can this matter be done?" Zhang Ya said: "Lingyun, although Chu Yuan is a new official, but the two of them have outstanding ability, and they have the courage to be unreasonable, unlike some other old officials, who are procrastinating, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Emperor Xuan nodded in agreement. So he immediately sent the ruling Jinwu Zhou Chang to Zhongshan to convey the will of Yunmengshan. Zhou Chang took the order and left. After the next dynasty, Emperor Xuan returned to the harem and saw the Empress Dowager Wu.

Empress Dowager Wu is about thirty years old, her appearance is very beautiful, her head is held in a high bun, a hosta is inserted on it, she is decorated with pearls, and she is wearing a good splendid palace robe, with moire trim, graceful and luxurious. Seeing Emperor Xuan, he hurriedly took him to his side and sat down, and said, "Can the emperor say what the mourning family taught today?" Emperor Xuan said: "Yes, the son said it word for word according to what the queen mother said." ”

Empress Dowager Wu nodded and said, "That's good, what did the prime minister say, did he oppose you?" Emperor Xuan shook his head and said: "The prime minister didn't object, he did exactly what his ministers wanted." Empress Dowager Wu touched Emperor Xuan's head lovingly, and said: "Emperor, you are still young, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, if you want to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, you must first eradicate Bai Yu and Bai Bing, but you have no one to attach to in the court, you can only rely on the prime minister and the prince first, and first cut off these two people by the hands of the two of them." ”

Emperor Xuan said obediently: "Erchen knows." Empress Dowager Wu said: "Has the prime minister embarrassed you recently?" Emperor Xuan said: "No, the prime minister is respectful to his sons, and there is nothing rude." Empress Dowager Wu said: "Even so, you must not be careless, do not fully believe him, you must know that in the whole world, the only person you can trust is the queen mother, and everyone else has intentions for you." ”

Emperor Xuan said suspiciously: "Can't even the prime minister believe it, he personally raised his sons to the position of God's monarch." Empress Dowager Wu stared at Emperor Xuan and said, "My son, you are too naïve, the reason why the prime minister supported you to be the emperor is because you are young and ignorant, and they want to control you as their puppet, do you understand?"

Emperor Xuan shook his head, and Empress Dowager Wu said: "You will understand slowly, you must remember that the prime minister and the prince are not good people, they harbor evil intentions, you are now obedient to them, they will treat you as the emperor, if you don't follow them, they will drive you down at any time, or even send someone to kill you." ”

Emperor Xuan was very scared and said: "Queen Mother, no, how could the prime minister kill me, he is so good to me, he always asks my opinion about anything." Empress Dowager Wu said: "Child, why are you so simple, you are now the emperor, you must learn more about the way of scheming, the art of the emperor, don't always know how to play like a child." ”

The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager Wu with big pure eyes and nodded. Empress Dowager Wu said: "If you have time, you can find the palace sword immortal Xu Yi more, he is still a relatively upright person, and he has strong martial arts, and his cultivation is also very deep, you ask him more about the way of cultivation, cultivate hard, in our Tianshan Dynasty, cultivation is very important, without superb skills, it is impossible to convince the public, you go." ”

Emperor Xuan agreed to come down, went out, and walked along the long corridor, when he saw a woman walking in front of him, wearing the clothes of a singer, a red skirt, green sideburns, a jade belt and arms, a slender waist and a hand, tall and delicate. Her face was even brighter, her big eyes were watery, Emperor Xuan felt a little afraid to look directly, and felt that the woman herself seemed to be shining.

A gust of elegant fragrance struck, Emperor Xuan was in a trance, and before he could react, the woman stopped, put her hand on her waist, and bowed gently, saying, "Participate in Your Majesty." Emperor Xuan said: "Who are you?" The woman said: "The slave Ou Ge, the court dancer, was sent by the Queen Mother to meet the Queen Mother." ”

Emperor Xuan let out an "oh" and kept looking at Ou Ge, Ou Ge lowered his head and dodged, but Emperor Xuan was already stunned and kept staring at her, thinking that this sister was really good-looking, more beautiful than all the women in the palace. Ou Ge couldn't dodge, raised his head, smiled at Emperor Xuan, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you see, I'm going to meet the Queen Mother." "Say goodbye and walk lightly.

This bright smile made Emperor Xuan even more dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he turned his head and stared at Ou Ge's shadow for a long time, until she disappeared around the corner. Emperor Xuan is not very old, but his mind is delicate and affectionate, and Ou Ge's smile has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and it can no longer be erased.

Ou Ge walked into the Empress Dowager Wu's bedroom, Ying Ying knelt on the ground, and said, "Slave Ou Ge see the Queen Mother." Empress Dowager Wu stretched out her hand and said, "Flatten." Ou Ge stood up, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his hands, and stood aside. Empress Dowager Wu stretched out her hand to summon her closer, Ou Ge walked up to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager took her hand, stroked it gently, and said: "What a beautiful embryo, the mourning family couldn't compare to you when they were young?"

Ou Gejiao's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is a bright ** person, and she is the mother of the emperor, she is noble and noble, how can a slave dare to be compared with the Queen Mother." Empress Dowager Wu smiled kindly and said, "You are quite good at talking, which shows that you are clever, and you are still used to living in the palace, has anyone bullied you?"

Ou Ge Shui Ling's eyes looked at the ground, his long eyelashes were covered, and he said, "Empress Dowager Xie cares, no one bullies the slave maid." Empress Dowager Wu looked at her with pity, and said: "Don't hide it from the mourning family, the mourning family has come all the way from the palace, don't you even know this, you are outstanding, you will definitely be jealous of others, some girls from rich families have been brutal and willful since childhood, and they regard themselves as noble, how can they not suppress you when they see that you are stronger than them." You say I'm right? ”

Ou Ge nodded slowly and said, "The Queen Mother is Mingjian, but the slave is not a person with a narrow temperament, so she won't take these little things to heart." Empress Dowager Wu looked up at her and said: "Ou Ge, you have outstanding appearance, being a humble court dancer is too wronged by you, and now there is a God-given opportunity that can make you soar to the sky, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, I don't know if you can seize it?"

Ou Ge raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother with bright eyes, and said, "The Queen Mother means, the slave doesn't understand." Empress Dowager Wu asked her to come closer and said, "Things are a little difficult, but as long as you help the mourning family succeed, whatever conditions you have, the mourning family will promise you." Ou Ge said: "Can be favored by the Queen Mother, and the slave dares not to do her best." ”

Empress Dowager Wu was very happy when she heard this, and said, "Very good, I know that you are a smart person in Bingxue, so you can come here with your ears." Ou Ge obeyed the words and possessed the past, and the Empress Dowager Wu whispered in her ear, and it took a long time before parting, and said, "What do I mean, do you understand?"

Ou Ge nodded and said, "The slave understands. Empress Dowager Wu said: "Okay, the mourning family really didn't see the wrong person, you can understand it at one point, now you can say what conditions you have, and the mourning family will definitely satisfy you." Ou Ge hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to speak, Empress Dowager Wu said: "You don't have to be ashamed to speak, people go to high places, water flows to low places, who doesn't have their own good wishes, who is really willing to be mediocre, you can say it boldly." ”

Ou Ge finally spoke, and said: "Queen Mother, if the slave maid is successful, can you be the master of the Six Palaces?" Empress Dowager Wu was stunned for a long time before she said: "You want to be the queen?" Ou Ge nodded, without words. Empress Dowager Wu muttered: "I didn't expect you, a little dancing girl, to have such great ambitions...... Ou Ge hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the slave maid just forgot her form for a while, said the wrong thing, and didn't really want to be the queen." ”

Empress Dowager Wu helped her up and said, "The words that blurted out are the words in my heart, okay, since we have spoken first, the mourning family will promise you, as long as you get things done, the mourning family will ask Your Majesty to canonize you as the queen." ”

On the same day, Empress Dowager Wu convened the ministers to enjoy the flowers and drink, and many ministers came, and the prime minister Zhang Ya was of course no exception. Empress Dowager Wu treated Zhang Ya very politely and let him sit beside her. Zhang Ya looked triumphant. The desk is full of gold cups and silver cups, fine wine and delicacies, and jade liquid elixir.

Then the Empress Dowager Wu summoned the court dancers, and all the dancers danced in the hall, all wearing light gauze red dresses, long sleeves, and their figures were all neat, tall and exquisite, charming and charming, elegant and elegant. One of the leading dancers is the European song.

Although Ou Ge is dressed up the same as other women, her alluring appearance is unique, she is not like ordinary women with pointed chins, a small family beauty, her beauty is a kind of noble and atmospheric beauty, although as a dancing girl, she wears makeup, but there is no wind and dust.

Zhang Ya noticed her at a glance, and so did the ministers, who couldn't take their eyes off it, and her green hair was like ink, pouring down in unison, smooth as a mirror. After dancing a song, Empress Dowager Wu asked Ou Ge to come forward and pour wine for the ministers, and when she walked up to Zhang Ya, Zhang Ya looked straight at her, and her eyes were about to fall.

He thought to himself how good it would be if such a beautiful person could marry home, but she was a court dancer, and she could not leave the temple gate. He was thinking hard about what way to get this beauty in his hands, when suddenly there was the sound of a cup falling to the ground on the opposite side. It turned out that Ou Ge accidentally dropped the minister's wine glass on the ground when he was pouring wine.
