Early the next morning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Li Yao got up early and washed up, he put on his court clothes and happily went to the morning court with Qin Yu, from beginning to end, Li Yao never thought that Wu Zetian would do something to him at this time, because it is recorded in history that Feng Xiaobao was killed by Princess Taiping.

So Li Yao was not worried that Wu Zetian would attack him at all, after all, Wu Zetian had a relationship with him for ten years, and he had helped her do so many things, Wu Zetian would not be able to watch him die in front of his eyes and be indifferent, this is Li Yao's thoughts at this time.

But when he really went to the early dynasty and entered the Jinluan Palace.

Li Yaocai suddenly realized that something was not quite right, Wu Zetian was in the Jinluan Palace, and his face was not happy at all because Li Yao and Qin Yu had won the battle, after Li Yao presented the three things, Wu Zetian's reaction was also very cold, and he just opened his mouth and said to Qin Yu: "General Qin, you have made a great contribution to me this time, I have decided to make you the general of Cangzhou, and then you will take your men and horses to the southern border to take over Cangzhou City, and guard the border reins for me!"

"Thank you for your grace. Qin Yu had already expected this ending, and he was still quite grateful to Xie Qi Wu Zetian.

"Stand down!" Wu Zetian waved his hand lightly to let Qin Yu retreat.

Qin Yu immediately got up and stepped aside.

At this time, Li Yao was the only one kneeling in the middle of the hall, Wu Zetian frowned and glanced at Li Yao twice, and said softly: "General Xue, you are now the general of the right guard auxiliary state, and you have the title of Duke of Hubei, I really can't think of how else to reward you, it is better for you to tell me, what kind of reward you want, I will definitely reward you." ”

"It is the duty of the minister to be loyal to the country, and the minister does not dare to ask the emperor for any reward......"

"I asked you to ask for it, less nonsense. Before Li Yao finished speaking, Wu Zetian interrupted Li Yao with a loud shout.

All the civil and military officials in the hall trembled in fright, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian's temper is getting more and more strange now, who dares to provoke her? And Li Yao came back from winning the battle, and was not greeted by Wu Zetian with a smile, but scolded him like this, which also made everyone quite incomprehensible.

Li Yao also knelt on the ground and wondered for a while.

After being silent for a long time, he said: "Then the emperor has said so, then I will ask the emperor to give his ministers a gold medal for avoiding death!"

"Do you want a gold medal to avoid death?" Wu Zetian asked coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Li Yao responded respectfully.

Wu Zetian glared at Li Yao and gritted her teeth for a while before she said, "Okay, if you want a gold medal for avoiding death, I will give it to you." ”

"Thank you for your grace. Li Yao hurriedly thanked Wu Zetian.

"Retreat from the court, General Xue, you will come to my Hall of Eternal Life in a moment! I will give you the gold medal for avoiding death." Wu Zetian stood up and said this to Li Yao, and she retreated directly and left.

Everyone in the hall looked at her departing back, and they were all dumbfounded and at a loss.

It wasn't until Wu Zetian's figure disappeared into the Jinluan Hall that Di Renjie stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Li Yao up, and said to him, "Why did you kid provoke the emperor again?"

"How do I know, I didn't mess with her! Didn't I just come back?" Li Yao replied dumbfounded.

"Then how can this situation be so two-sided, General Qin has made Cangzhou the general, and then there are all kinds of rewards, and you have a gold medal to avoid death, and you can also win the emperor's eyes, this is really incomprehensible! Could it be that you came back yesterday and didn't go to see the emperor for the first time in the evening and report to her?" Di Renjie asked Li Yao tentatively.

Li Yao spread his hands and didn't know how to answer him.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the hall had already walked out, Di Renjie chatted with Li Yao for a while, he also left, Qin Yu was the last to go, seeing that Li Yao was going to the rear Immortal Hall to see Wu Zetian, he stepped forward in time and reminded: "You have to be careful, maybe it is Wu Sansi's bastard who is doing something wrong." ”

"Oh yes! I just remembered what you said, and it's probably him. Li Yao shouted in relief.

If Qin Yu didn't say it, he couldn't remember Wu Sansi's bastard, Wu Sansi followed him back yesterday, maybe Wu Sansi went to Wu Zetian last night and said bad things about him, which made Wu Zetian so angry with him, anyway, when he was at the border, he almost didn't beat Wu Sansi to death.

Wu Sansi will come back to pit him now, and that is logical.

After thinking about all this, Li Yao also laughed happily, and said to Qin Yu: "If it was really provoked by his Wu Sansi, Lao Tzu would not be afraid of him." ”

"It's better to be careful, I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Qin Yu stretched out his hand and patted Li Yao's shoulder and opened his mouth to remind him.

"What I told you on the way here, you can remember it, you must find a way to bring Hua Lin to Cangzhou, and then I will come to Cangzhou to find you, this time I will definitely be more auspicious, you understand my situation." Li Yao opened his mouth and told Qin Yu.

As early as on the way to the morning court, Li Yao had already told Qin Yu everything he said to Hua Lin last night, and Qin Yu naturally understood why Li Yao wanted to go like this, so he should go down to Li Yao without saying a word, and with Qin Yu's help, Li Yao believed that he would be able to successfully leave with Hua Lin.

After the two of them settled the matter, Li Yao separated from Qin Yu and walked towards the Hall of Eternal Life at the back of the palace.

Qin Yu went back to Yifu to pack up his things and dispatch people.

After half a column of incense.

Li Yao came to the Hall of Eternal Life, originally he wanted to meet Shangguan Wan'er and Arjun Nana, but Li Yao didn't see the two of them, so Li Yao had to walk to the cabinet in the depths of the Hall of Eternal Life, and when he came to the cabinet, Li Yao just stretched out his hand to push the door and walked in, and found that Wu Sansi and Wu Zetian were sitting opposite each other in the room chatting.

Li Yao was suddenly happy, thinking to himself, what Qin Yu said was really fulfilled, Wu Sansi, this bastard, really ran to Wu Zetian to beat his little report.

Li Yao was also silent, walked forward slowly, sat down beside Wu Sansi, and saluted Wu Zetian respectfully: "Minister Xue Huaiyi, see the emperor." ”

"No need to be polite, I called you here, not to ask you to be polite, but there are some things to ask you face-to-face, think twice and tell me, when you fought with the Turkic army on the border, you had the opportunity to kill the commander of the Turkic army, but you didn't kill him in the end, but there is such a thing?" Wu Zetian raised his head and stared at Li Yao, and asked Li Yao such a question directly.

She asked like this, so of course Li Yao could be sure that it was indeed Wu Sansi who was beating his little report.

At this time, Wu Sansi also glanced at him very proudly, as if he had already seen Li Yao's unlucky appearance, so that Wu Sansi felt that he could get back the hardships he had endured at the border.

Li Yao sneered in his heart, and was quiet for a while before he said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, things are indeed as His Royal Highness King Liang said, the ministers did release the leaders of the enemy generals such as Mu Li on the border, and did not kill them, but finally signed a ten-year peace agreement with them, and agreed to let them pay tribute to our Great Zhou Dynasty every year. ”

"Why didn't you kill them?" Wu Zetian asked in a cold voice.

"First, killing them will provoke a strong counterattack from the entire Turkic army, and second, killing them will not give such benefits to my Great Zhou Dynasty, and the soldiers will all die in vain, so I can't kill them so easily, and thirdly, not killing them can highlight the benevolence and magnanimity of my Great Zhou Emperor, and killing them is counterproductive. Li Yao has always been able to speak, and he brought these three reasons together, and the expression on Wu Zetian's face immediately turned dangerous.

Wu Sansi, who was sitting on the side, was anxious.

Looking up at Wu Zetian, Wu Sansi hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his excuse, he actually has a relationship with the Turkic general, so he let him go, according to the news I inquired, when he first knew that when he led the troops to the battle, the Turkic commander Mu Li also sent him a Turkic beauty, and he also brought him back to Luoyang City." ”

"Is this serious?" Wu Zetian asked angrily again.

"It's absolutely true, if I have half a lie, the emperor can divide my five horses. Wu Sansi simply swore an oath to Wu Zetian.

In addition, he is Wu Zetian's nephew, of course Wu Zetian believes in him very much, and immediately stared at Li Yao with a vicious gaze and questioned for a while.

Li Yao's heart tightened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he never imagined that Wu Sansi, a bastard, would find out all this matter for him, and now he was thinking in his heart, how to round this lie in order to completely complete this matter, otherwise, he might really suffer from Wu Sansi's Tao here.

Wu Zetian saw that Li Yao was silent for a while, and she shouted again: "You tell me, is this matter true?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true, but the Turkic beauty was not sent by Mu Li, but the daughter of the rebel patriarch of the Turkic clan, she finally tried to assassinate Mu Li on the wall of Anbei City, but was killed by Mu Li's brother with an arrow, and I did not take her back to Luoyang City. Li Yao hurriedly explained to Wu Zetian.

Of course he won't admit that he brought Arjunnana to Chang'an City, if he did, this matter would really make a big fuss, and at this time it was the best way to kill and not admit it.

But Wu Sansi shouted again: "You are still quibbling, you obviously brought back that Turkic beauty, and hid her in your Yifu to play with her alone for several days, and then you don't know where to hide her." ”

"His Royal Highness King Liang, you don't want to spew blood, if you say that I brought back the Turkic beauty, how do you know?" Li Yao asked Wu Sansi in a cold voice.

"I came to ask the lord and I knew that after you came back from your first expedition, the lord who came to tell me in person, I didn't say it because you were getting the emperor's holy will, but after going on the expedition with you this time, I saw how you treated the enemy generals, so I was angry and asked the emperor to expose your hypocrisy here. Wu Sansi blocked Li Yao in one bite.

Li Yao's brows furrowed instantly, but he sneered in his heart.
