Chapter 126: A New Mission
Wu Yanxiu's face was red and white for a while, he snorted heavily, turned his horse's head and left.
Not far away, Xue Huaiyi's face was also extremely ugly, and he couldn't hold his face even more than Wu Yanxiu.
Xue Huaiyi was originally born as a scoundrel in the market, and he has been flying and domineering for ten years, and he was appointed as the general manager of Longyou Province last year, leading the army to fight against the Turks, and Li Dezhao of Xiangguo served as the chief historian.
Because of his disagreement with Li Dezhao, he was so angry that he forced the dignified Xiangguo to kneel down to him and beg for mercy before he was willing to give up.
Today, a small guard dared to slap him in the face in public, Xue Huaiyi's heart was blazing with anger, and he rushed up and pointed at Li Zhen and scolded: "You are a dog of Shangguan Wan'er, today you dare to insult me Xue Huaiyi, Lao Tzu must make your life worse than death!"
Xue Huaiyi's public sprinkling stunned the more than 1,000 Yulin Army guards on the court, what is the difference between this and the scoundrels on the street?
Li Zhen turned his head and ignored him, Xue Huaiyi became more and more angry, he just wanted to draw a knife to kill, at this time, a young woman's voice came from behind him, "The dignified Liang Guogong, the head of the Longyou Dao, and the general of the right guard can't even afford to lose a ball?"
As soon as Xue Huaiyi turned around, he saw Shangguan Wan'er standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile in his eyes, although he was low and reckless, but after all, he had been in the palace for nearly ten years, and he still knew how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Last year, he was very obscene with Li Dezhao, that is, Shangguan Wan'er sued the saint about this matter, which made the saint furious, and ordered to beat himself with fifty lashes to make amends to Li Dezhao.
It was also that incident that made him hate and fear Shangguan Wan'er, especially after Wei Tuan'er was executed, he didn't dare to provoke Shangguan Wan'er lightly, Xue Huaiyi heard Shangguan Wan'er use three big hats to press himself, he had to hold back the anger in his heart, snorted, turned around and left.
Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything more, and looked at him coldly into the distance.
At this time, all the guards were very relieved to see Xue Huaiyi being scolded away by Shangguan Wan'er, and they all stepped forward to salute, Shangguan Wan'er nodded with a smile to everyone, and said to Li Zhen: "Guard Li, the saint has something to do with you, come with me!"
Li Zhen hurriedly explained a few words to everyone, and then quickly followed Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er walked slowly, she glanced at Li Zhen who was following behind, and comforted him softly.
"You are strong in riding and shooting, you can make tens of thousands of guards convince you, and you have also solved the case of Broken Pond, you have completely relied on your own skills to get to where you are today, don't listen to the blood and slander of some people. ”
Li Zhen nodded, "I won't take my humble duties to heart." ”
Shangguan Wan'er changed the topic, and smiled again: "The Holy Lord has something to hand over to you, do you want to go to the Holy Saint, or listen to me?"
Li Zhen was slightly stunned in his heart, if there was a task, it should be handed over to him by Wu Chongxun, how did he become Shangguan Wan'er?
Shangguan Wan'er understood the doubts in his heart, so she smiled and said: "The Holy Lord asked me to find a competent person, and I recommended you to her, so this matter has not been trained by Wu Chong, I ask you now, do you want to go with me to face the saint, or let me relay it, you think about it." ”
After speaking, Shangguan Wan'er looked at him deeply with a pair of beautiful eyes, Li Zhen didn't think much about it, and smiled faintly, "I think it's better to be a little more relaxed without facing the saint." ”
Shangguan Wan'er was happy in her heart, her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she gently dropped a sentence, "Follow me!"
Li Zhen followed Shangguan Wan'er to the assistant government room in the Fengyi Palace, which was Shangguan Wan'er's official room in the palace, where she reviewed the recital for Wu Zetian every day, less than 100 steps away from Wu Zetian's imperial study.
Shangguan Wan'er asked Li Zhen to wait for a while, and she went to the imperial study.
This is the first time Li Zhen has come to Shangguan Wan'er's official room, the official room is composed of three rooms inside and outside, connected in a line, the outermost is the listening place of the maids, the middle study is where he is now, and the inner one is her temporary resting place.
Li Zhen couldn't help but look around, the room was very elegantly arranged, with calligraphy by Chu Suiliang and her grandfather Shangguanyi hanging on the wall, and bookshelves on the east and west sides, with all kinds of exquisite furnishings on the shelves.
In the corner of the wall is a unicorn swallowing incense burner, from the mouth of the unicorn looking up to the sky, light smoke curls out, so that the room is filled with a refreshing lotus fragrance.
On the north side by the window is a large bookcase, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and more than a dozen scrolls sent from all over the world, and hundreds of scrolls are neatly stacked on the ground on both sides, with holy decrees and scrolls.
Shangguan Wan'er was named a sheren, and it stands to reason that Wu Zetian's various edicts and wills should have been drafted by Zhongshu Sheren, but now all of them are drafted by Shangguan Wan'er, so she is called Neisheren.
Not only that, but she also has to review the performance papers for Wu Zetian, some less important political matters are decided by her, and then report to Wu Zetian a little afterwards, which makes her extremely powerful, and at the same time, the government affairs are also very heavy, and she has to be busy until late every day.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er's personal maid Xiao'e walked in slowly with a cup of tea, and she said to Li Zhen with a flushed face: "Guard Li, please sit down and wait, my girl will come soon." ”
"Thank you!"
Li Zhen took the teacup and sat down, Xiao'e was about to retreat, but she stopped and whispered to Li Zhen: "The girl rarely allows foreign officials to enter her room. ”
Li Zhen smiled: "I am deeply honored by Sister Xiao'e's reminder. ”
Xiao'e retreated with a red face, and Li Zhen took a sip of hot tea and waited patiently
In the imperial study, Wu Zetian was reviewing a few urgent papers, and Shangguan Wan'er was standing quietly aside, not daring to disturb the saint, at this time, Wu Zetian put down his pen, pointed to a pile of papers next to him and said with a smile: "Today's court affairs are very busy, and you will approve those for me." ”
"Yes! ”
Wu Zetian thought of something, and asked her again: "Why didn't Li Zhen come?"
Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice: "Wan'er asked him to wait in my room." ”
Wu Zetian said 'oh!', glanced at Shangguan Wan'er meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Is he so worthy of your trust?"
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly saluted, "Wan'er won't look at the wrong person." ”
Wu Zetian smiled, picked up a sealed lacquer cylinder from the table and handed it to her, "The incident you told me yesterday, I thought about it all night, and I felt that there was some truth, so I handed this matter over to him to investigate, if this matter is really as you said, I will consider your proposal." ”
"Thank you!"
Shangguan Wan'er took the paint tube and slowly retreated, Wu Zetian closed her eyes and thought about it, and the chic posture of Li Zhen when she shot the leopard appeared in her mind again, and the beauty of that kind of martial arts once made her heart pound.
However, since Wan'er wants to use him, although it is a pity, this is the first time Wan'er has made a request, not to mention that she has promised her
Li Zhen was already drinking the second cup of tea, and at this time, he finally heard hurried footsteps outside, only to see Shangguan Wan'er walk in like a gust of wind, followed by two palace maids, each holding more than 20 scrolls.
"I've kept you waiting!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled apologetically as she entered the room.
Li Zhen hurriedly stood up, the two palace maids put down the scroll and retreated, Shangguan Wan'er took out the silk silk and wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead, and waved her hand to Li Zhen, "Feel free to come to me, please sit!"
Li Zhen didn't speak, he sat down again, and then he noticed that Shangguan Wan'er was holding a sealed lacquer cylinder in her hand, and secretly thought in his heart, 'Is this the task she wants to give her?'
Shangguan Wan'er also returned to her seat and sat down, she glanced at Li Zhen and bit her lip slightly, she wanted to sue him, why could he sit here? But after thinking about it, Shangguan Wan'er still decided not to sue him for the time being.
"There are two things, one is a matter on the surface, you go to Songshan Shaolin Temple, the Maitreya relics were enshrined there last time, you go to check the situation of their offerings?"
Since he was explaining the task, Li Zhen couldn't sit there, so he stood up again and promised: "I understand my humble position!"
Shangguan Wan'er handed him the paint tube, "This is the real task, the location is still Songshan, you can't dismantle it now, you have to go to Songshan to disassemble it, this matter is very secret, only me and the saint know about it at present, so you can only go alone." ”
Li Zhen silently took the paint tube, and Shangguan Wan'er asked with a smile: "You will be going for at least five or six days, how are you going to arrange the polo team?"
"I plan to let Li Linfu be the deputy team leader, and he will lead everyone to train, he is lively and will not contradict others. ”
"Well, it's up to you. ”
Shangguan Wan'er stood up, slowly walked in front of Li Zhen, stared into his eyes, and said in a low voice after a while: "Don't let me down!"
Not long after Li Zhen left the Taichu Palace, Wu Zetian's personal maid Yan Shuang'er sneaked into the Yaoguang Hall where Xue Huaiyi lived, which was the place where Xue Huaiyi chanted and studied Buddhism in the palace.
Xue Huaiyi was ridiculed by Shangguan Wan'er, and returned to the meditation room in the inner hall with a belly full of anger, he didn't dare to go to Wu Zetian to complain, so he vented his anger on the palace maids and eunuchs who served him.
He found an excuse and used the rattan to jerk, and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs were beaten to the ground and rolled around, crying and screaming, until the rattan was broken, his anger subsided slightly, and he yelled, "Get out!"
More than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs got up in pain, supported each other, and limped away.
Xue Huaiyi sat on the couch and drank tea, staring at the knife holder in the corner with his eyes vicious, thinking in his mind.
At this time, a palace maid said timidly at the door: "Lord Qiqi, Miss Yan is here!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Yan Shuang'er, the personal maid of the saint, walking in quickly.
Yan Shuang'er is actually Wei Tuan'er's replacement, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and has served Wu Zetian for almost ten years, she is second only to Wei Tuan'er's favored maid, Wei Tuan'er was executed, and she took the throne.
Yan Shuang'er is slightly fat, and her appearance is not as delicate as Wei Tuan'er, but she has a very sweet mouth and is very good at pleasing Wu Zetian, and more importantly, she is illiterate, so she has no ambition for Wei Tuan'er, and Wu Zetian is more at ease with her.
But Wu Zetian couldn't have imagined that as early as last autumn, Yan Shuang'er became Xue Huaiyi's, and her whole body and mind were conquered by Xue Huaiyi, and she was even more stammered with Xue Huaiyi than Wei Tuan'er.
Yan Shuang'er walked into the meditation room and hugged Xue Huaiyi's neck and said with a smile: "If I tell you an important news, how can you thank me?"
Xue Huaiyi doesn't like this Yan Shuang'er very much, he seems to be smart, but he is actually simple-minded, far worse than Wei Tuan'er, and it is really boring.
In fact, Xue Huaiyi is already a little tired of women, compared to women, he now prefers power, but women are the only way for him to seize power, and he has to fight hard to deal with it.
Xue Huaiyi squinted and smiled, "If your news satisfies me, I will repay you in your favorite way." ”
Yan Shuang'er's eyes lit up, her eyes showed a look of longing, she immediately whispered a few words to Xue Huaiyi, Xue Huaiyi was shocked, "Did they say that?"
Yan Shuang'er nodded, "I'm just outside the window, I can hear it clearly, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Xue Huaiyi gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded secretly: "This slut!"
He hurriedly coaxed Yan Shuang'er again, saying that the saint would come over soon, and it was inconvenient now, and he would repay her well at night.
As soon as Yan Shuang'er left, Xue Huaiyi immediately wrote a note, found his confidant eunuch, handed the note to him, whispered a few words to him, and finally said: "You sue her, the situation is a little bad, the saint has woken up, she must do it immediately!"
