Confidante Saisuke

Li Chong, the governor of Bozhou, heard about the governor's disclosure, and scolded King Fan Yang for "the upright son is not enough to seek".I couldn't wait to contact my father, King Li Zhen of Yue. On August 5000th, Li Chong led 24 troops to set up an army in Bozhou.As soon as the team reached Wushui County, they were resisted by the local county magistrate.Li Chong was about to follow the south wind to attack the south gate with fire, but just as he lit the fire, the south wind suddenly turned into a north wind.Everyone was shocked, and the team was defeated.Li Chong had no choice but to return to Bozhou.When the gatekeeper of Bozhou City saw Li Chong's defeat, he took advantage of his surprise and beheaded him and went to Luoyang to ask for a reward.It's August [-]th.

Li Zhen, King of Yue, heard that his son Li Chong was defeated and died, so he also raised troops in Ru County, Henan Province.However, when he heard that Luoyang had sent 5000 troops to suppress it, Li Zhen panicked seeing his 2000 soldiers and horses, tied herself up, and prepared to plead guilty to Luoyang.Unexpectedly, a county magistrate under him brought [-] troops to join him. At this time, someone told Luoyang that the army was nothing.Only then did Li Zhen make up her mind to fight.However, just as he was strictly guarding the gate of Yuzhou City, the imperial army arrived.The battle collapsed at the touch of a button.Li Zhen knew that she had no power to recover, so she committed suicide with her family.At this time, it was only seventeen days from the day when the army was raised.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, I have found out that the clansmen have nothing to do with the rebellion of Li Zhen and his son. The rebellion is purely a rebellion by Li Zhen and his son." Supervising Censor Su Xuan knelt down and reported.

Well, the censors are all nerds who admit death.Wu Meiniang said helplessly: "Su Yushi is a man of great elegance. The Ai family sent you to do things that match your talents. You don't need Su Yushi for these trivial matters." None of the 22 sons, Taizong's fourteenth son, and Gaozong's son survived.

"Queen Mother, the person with Li Chong's head said that he got up on August 24th. Chief Qiu's imperial army arrived in Bozhou on the 26th. However, Chief Executive Qiu's notes reported that he was killed in Bozhou in three days. After defeating Li Chong, only Li Chong escaped. Do you want me to send someone to Bozhou to find out about this?" Xiao Jing presented the two memorials to Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang took the booklet and glanced at it briefly, put it down and said: "It's nothing more than pretending to be rewarded. After checking it out, let's put it aside. There are too few generals available in the court, and we can't move him right now. Wait for our martial arts matter to be completed." climate, Aijia won’t have to be restrained by these people.”

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Xiao Jing took the order and was about to step back.Wu Meiniang called her: "Xiao Jing, the Ai family intends to let you take the position of the right minister, can it be regarded as humiliating you?" Xiao Jing immediately knelt down: "I don't dare. I thank the Queen Mother for her appreciation. The Queen Mother's kindness, I will never die report." Wu Meiniang smiled and helped her up: "Then it's better to take care of the world with the Ai family. You will be honored by the Ai family for your wealth, fame and fame forever. You, Xiao Jing, have an exclusive copy of the Zhou history of the Ai family." Madam, please allow me to take this as another kind of acquisition.Xiao Jing took a few steps back and kowtowed again.

It's the end of the year now.Because everything goes according to plan, Wu Meiniang instructed the palace to hold this year's New Year's Eve ceremony, and also asked the ministers to prepare programs to add to the fun.Shangguan Wan'er happened to fall in love with the flute recently, and excitedly signed up to play the flute, looking for classical music lessons every day.Sometimes Wu Meiniang didn't see anyone when she was having lunch, and the people who urged her repeatedly and invited her four times didn't come.Wu Meiniang was angry and threatened her not to allow her to watch the year.Shangguan Wan'er believed it was true, and lost her temper, blaming Wu Meiniang for not counting her words, and she protested after being hungry twice.In the end, Wu Meiniang made amends.

"This child is always so disregarding what he likes, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all. You say, how nice it is to sit there quietly and read a book, but you must like these low-end skills." Wu Meiniang looked at Shangguan Wan'er again. Not waiting for her next to the food table, I couldn't help but complain to Tuan'er.Tuan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "However, I heard from Miss Shangguan that the queen mother laughed at her as a nerd." Wu Meiniang snorted: "It's just some legends and monsters. You didn't see her seriousness. Aijia and her When talking, she only agreed with her mouth, and her heart was on those talented scholars and beauties. She didn't hear a word of what Aijia said. A while ago, didn't there be some new agate fruits in Lingnan, and Aijia let her Try it. She picked up Aijia's teacup and went out. Later Aijia found a stack of papers in the drawer." Wu Meiniang turned her head and smiled softly, "Aijia saw that it was Wan'er's handwriting. No matter, this child is going crazy. Then Aijia said that she wrote it by a nerd who knows nothing about business." Tuan'er tilted his head and thought for a while: "The queen mother said that the Shangguan girl ran to the side hall in the middle of the night Is it about the day?" Wu Meiniang laughed loudly: "Yes. It took a lot of effort to coax it well. The Ai family also made mistakes for themselves. Now it's all right, I finally stopped reading and fell in love with it again. Playing the flute. The Ai family must..." Wu Meiniang stopped talking when she heard Shangguan Waner's voice outside.

"Tianhou, will we send someone to give Luling King a new year's gift every year?" Shangguan Wan'er asked while picking up a piece of soy sauce.Wu Meiniang stopped her chopsticks when she heard the words: "Why do you ask this? Who is talking to you again?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "No. On the way back, I saw those palace people busy delivering wax to the ministers. I remember that the King of Luling gave me a box of lip balm before." Naturally, Shangguan Wan'er also thought about whether to mention this matter in front of Wu Meiniang, and was also worried that it would provoke her temper again.However, thinking of Wu Meiniang's six sons and two daughters, there are only two sons and one daughter left now, she has not met Li Dan a few times, Princess Taiping has separated from Wu Meiniang because of her son-in-law, and the king of Luling was relegated to such a remote place. Not so good.However, in her impression, the King of Luling is the most amiable person, if Wu Meiniang is willing to take the initiative to show her kindness, at least the relationship between the King of Luling will be better.However, although Shangguan Wan'er became more and more courageous, she still only dared to mention this matter slightly.

Wu Meiniang thought about it and asked her: "Do you want me to give Xian'er an annual gift, or do you want to give it to him yourself?" Of course I hope you will.Shangguan Wan'er almost blurted out, but when she saw Wu Meiniang's moody face, she changed her words: "I want to give him something. When the King of Luling gave me something, I just accepted it and didn't return the gift at all. Tianhou, You didn't tell me anything at that time, and I didn't even know that I would return a gift if I received someone else's gift." Wu Meiniang smiled: "Wan'er is talented, why should I make unnecessary efforts? What do you want to give Xianer?" Shangguan Wan Think about it: "The King of Luling has a family, so it's probably not good to give it to him directly. I remember that the Princess of Luling likes peonies. Do you think it's okay for me to give her a pack of peony seeds? Wu Meiniang nodded, and made fun of Shangguan Wan'er: "Not bad. Wan'er knows how to avoid it." Shangguan Wan'er gave her a stare, and continued: "When the time comes, I still have to send someone over there. Sending a copy is a gift, a gift." Two copies are also given away. I think, why don't you just give one to Tianhou." Wu Meiniang looked at Shangguan Wan'er's expectant eyes and said with a smile: "Then listen to Wan'er. You prepare the gift letter and things. Give it to Tuan'er, and send it together when the time comes." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and lowered her head to eat.Wu Meiniang shook her head, it was inappropriate to talk about parent-child relationship in front of the throne.

New Year's Eve.Hanyuan hall.

In addition to the singing and dancing of the palace people in previous years, this year I specially called Luoyang's famous Nuo dance troupe to add to the fun.Amidst the din of gongs and drums, the whole set of rituals of starting Nuo, performing Nuo, expelling Nuo, and round Nuo is orderly.Majestic and fast-paced.Compared with the court Nuo dance, it is quite satisfactory and refreshing.Wu Meiniang saw that Shangguan Wan'er was watching attentively, and smiled to herself, this person is obsessed with these weird things.Fortunately, she is too thin, otherwise she might be clamoring to learn Nuo dance tomorrow.

After the Shangyi Bureau's "Shengshou Le", many performances inside and outside the palace have been performed, and the ministers began to appear on stage in order.There were those who didn't talk much but sang a song loudly, and some who looked rough and unrestrained but played an elegant Jiangnan ditty.Some civil servants came up to perform sword dancing, and some military generals wrote the four characters of Wan Shi Sheng Ping in Longzang Temple script on the spot...

"Tianhou, when will Sister Jing perform?" Shangguan Wan'er knew that Xiao Jing was well prepared in both civil and martial arts, and had been waiting to watch her show, but she hadn't seen her leave for a long time.Wu Meiniang gave Shangguan Wan'er a glass of pine and cypress wine: "Your sister Jing doesn't like this kind of scene, she has already told me not to perform." Shangguan Wan'er couldn't hide her disappointment: "Ah, I was still waiting to see sister Jing's performance Sister Jing is the only person I have ever seen who is skilled in all six arts. If she doesn't perform, we will really show our shame." Wu Meiniang laughed after hearing this: "If you want to see it so much, go ask her, usually called Jing My sister is so affectionate, maybe she will perform a show for you." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "I can't, I still need Tianhou to help me with this matter. I will go and tell Sister Jing that Tianhou will let her perform a show, and then Tianhou will send you a show. How about a gift from her?" Wu Meiniang laughed: "You let me join forces with you to deceive others? Your elder sister Jing is so angry that she won't go to court after the festival, will you approve the memorial for me?" Shangguan Wan'er has already Standing up: "I've already agreed in the day after." Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows.I saw Shangguan Wan'er went to Xiao Jing's case and knelt down, she didn't know what to say.Xiao Jing raised her head to look at Wu Meiniang, who hurriedly shook her head.Shangguan Wan'er became anxious all of a sudden, how could this person tear things apart on the spot.At this time, I only heard Xiao Jing say: "I remember that Wan'er will also perform the song later. If Wan'er doesn't dislike it, then I will be a dancer for Wan'er to make up for it." Shangguan Wan'er was so happy Xing returned to Wu Meiniang.Xiao Jing ordered the maid to prepare things without mentioning anything.

When it was time for Wan'er to perform, the maid presented her usual purple bamboo flute.Shangguan Wan'er was about to get up to leave the stage, but Wu Meiniang held her back and said, "It's right here." At this moment, Xiao Jing was standing in the field with a piece of red silk in her hand, and when she saw Shangguan Wan'er looking at her, she nodded her head.Shangguan Wan'er held the flute to her mouth.

Beautiful white shirt, blue silk ink dyed, red silk rolled up, like a fairy.The slender robe flutters in the wind, and the long sleeves wrap around and cross left and right.Like a peony blooming and trembling, like a deer jumping and leaping, like a peacock striding forward.Look up, bend down, raise your wrists, relax your hands.Xiao Jing's dance steps seem to be integrated with Shangguan Wan'er's flute.Shangguan Wan'er couldn't restrain her amazement, got up unconsciously, and walked to the field.As the sound of the flute became louder and louder, the wind and waves swept by Xiao Jing broke Shangguan Wan'er's bun, and the hair danced with the wind, and the jade hairpin shattered in response.Everyone had already stopped their movements and looked at the field quietly.As the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, the red silk in Xiao Jing's hand also instantly shattered into pieces, floating all over the audience.Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Xiao Jing, and took the piece of silk that fell on her head for her: "Sister Jing is really a fairy." Xiao Jing flicked her long sleeves, and pieces of red silk floated down from her body: "I will not let Wan'er down! The sound of the flute is fine." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "My flute is not good enough for your dance." Both of them looked at Wu Meiniang unconsciously, and Wu Meiniang waved at Shangguan Wan'er, signaling her to go back.

Shangguan Wan'er came to the front and saw a fan on the table, and Wu Meiniang was writing an inscription with a pen.Seeing her coming, Wu Meiniang asked with a smile, "It's you who benefited me again. I'll remember it here. Guess what I'm going to write?" Shangguan Wan'er only thought about it, and said, "Guo Shi Wushuang." Wu Meiniang laughed : "Okay, let's write about Guoshi Wushuang." Shangguan Wan'er walked in front of Xiao Jing holding a fan.Xiao Jing knelt down and took it: "The Empress Dowager treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay the Queen Mother as a national scholar."

Xiao Jing thanked En and returned to the table, and Shangguan Wan'er also returned to Wu Meiniang's side. "Happy now?" Wu Meiniang smoothly brushed Shangguan Wan'er's hair behind her ears, feeling her cheeks getting hot, she turned her head to ask for a cloak.Shangguan Wan'er still hasn't come back to her senses: "If I have half of sister Jing's ability, I will be satisfied." Wu Meiniang couldn't help pinching her face: "How can I remember that someone said a few days ago that as long as he can hold me, he will be satisfied." " Shangguan Wan'er blushed all of a sudden, and hurriedly looked around.Seeing that the ladies in the court were all looking at the venue, she said quietly: "The empress hates it, and she talks nonsense on this occasion." Wu Meiniang snorted: "Your heart is getting bigger and bigger recently. If I don't remind you, you will be fast." I forgot who I am." Shangguan Wan'er giggled and said, "Who am I? Now I'm afraid that everyone in the world will know that I belong to you." Wu Meiniang is still relentless: "Slick tongue. Mouth It sounds good to say that, all day long, I played this and that by myself, and ignored what I said. I waited for you for so long last night, and you were just playing with that broken flute." Shangguan Wan'er looked at it in surprise. Wu Meiniang reached out to touch her forehead again, she must be drunk.This is not like what the Queen of Heaven said.Wu Meiniang grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and whispered in her ear: "I see that your eyes were straight when you saw Xiao Jing just now. If you are interested in sex, go back later and see how I punish you. Hmph, this time Don't try to get away with it." Shangguan Wan'er silently brought the wine glass to her, determined not to let Wu Meiniang drink another sip tonight.
