[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 22

Hearing this, the long-faced guard was also embarrassed and speechless, and said after a while: "Then... the general might as well go back to the Duke's mansion to take a bath and change clothes, and the subordinates will go to the palace to report..." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat He was negligent just now, and he almost committed the indirect crime of regicide!

If General Su enters the palace like this, maybe he will faint the Queen of Heaven =. =

In order to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible, Su Dingfang came all the way in a hurry. When he arrived in Shannan Road, he heard the news of the change in Longxi through a special channel. He immediately understood the reason why the emperor secretly called him to Beijing, and he felt even more in his heart. Excited and ignoring rest, he rushed back to Chang'an day and night.

This time, my son, the famous General Su Dingfang in the north who can make children stop crying at night, is covered in dust and beards, and his whole body is sour. If he enters the palace like this, he will not be beaten as a beggar. Come out!

So, after General Su Dingfang entered the city gate, he hurried to the Duke Xing's mansion where he hadn't lived for a few days.

And the people who heard the conversation between the two guards and Su Dingfang were shocked!

It turns out that the well-known General Su is so uh... approachable (⊙o⊙)

For a long time after that, General Su's image among the people was very close to that of the world's largest gang, and he even became the patron saint enshrined by the disciples of the beggar gang.

However, when General Su hurried back to Duke Xing's mansion, his old servant had already received the news and was waiting outside the gate of the mansion. When he saw him, the old servant of the Su family almost couldn't recognize him.

"Lang Jun, you, you, how did you look like this!" The old servant of the Su family's eyes were red, and he hurriedly helped Su Dingfang lead the horse and welcome him into the mansion.

"Mr. Lang, go wash up first. The old slave has already ordered the kitchen to prepare your favorite food and drink!" The old servant of the Su family babbled to himself, but Su Dingfang didn't feel noisy at all, and was deeply moved.

However, he probably didn't have time to eat the meal prepared by A Weng.

"You don't need to be busy, Ah Weng, I have to enter the palace to see you later, maybe the emperor will reward me with a royal banquet, hehe..."

The old servant couldn't help but paused when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Mr. Lang has made great achievements in the past few years, and the emperor has certainly seen it, but the imperial banquet is not so delicious. It's so particular, how can you eat and drink comfortably at home?" ...Your Majesty, go take a shower and change your clothes, and this old slave will prepare some pastries for you first..." Saying this, the old servant hurried towards the kitchen.

Su Dingfang is right when he thinks about what his family A Weng said. People in Beijing are very sour. If they don’t dress brightly and stylishly, they will be despised if they don’t speak official words. Military division) always hated coming to Chang'an, and would rather stay in Liaodong and suffer.

Thinking of this, Su Dingfang was a little worried again. Without his Liulang's advice, he was really a little scared to face the Emperor and Empress...

In other words, before coming to Chang'an this time, he shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?

General Su carefully recalled the miserable days in the southern capital some time ago, and quickly washed his body, shaved his beard and cleansed his face, then changed into the brocade clothes sent by his attendants, and then walked out of the bedroom.

Old servant Su had already set up tea in the front hall, seeing his husband's new look, he couldn't help nodding.

Su Dingfang saw that the cakes were all his favorite cakes, and he couldn't help but put all the melancholy in his heart behind him.

"Lang Jun, eat it while it's hot. When you come back from the palace, this old slave will prepare wine and meat for you..."

"Okay..." Su Dingfang grabbed a few meatloaf and started to chew on them. Just halfway through eating, a servant came in to report that someone had come from the palace, and asked the general to come to the palace immediately.

Su Dingfang hurriedly swallowed the remaining half of the pancake, wiped the hem of his clothes casually with his oily hands, and strode out.

When Wu Xu heard that Su Dingfang had gone to Beijing, she was having tea with Mrs. Yang.

"His movements are really fast!" Although Su Dingfang's journey from Jiangnan to Chang'an was closer than Xue Rengui's from Donghai County Road to Chang'an, this old Su's speed is indeed a bit faster!

I really don't know what kind of embarrassment he will be if he finds out that he was not brought back to fight this time.

I hope this product won't fall off the chain again at a critical moment!

Wu Xu thought full of worry, and then sent Xiao Shunzi to Hanyuan Hall to see where the saint was going to summon Su Dingfang.

Seeing that Wu Xu had to worry about government affairs again, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but disapproved: "Ms. Hua, you are getting heavier now. It's better to take care of yourself!" There are extremely bright things in the world, but no matter how strong a woman is, she must put family affairs first!

What's more, her mother Hua is pregnant with the fourth child at the same age as she was when she was pregnant with the third mother. Giving birth at an advanced age is a very dangerous thing!

Wu Xu didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry too much, Aniang, my own body knows it by itself, by the way, where did we just talk about?"

Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu have been on tour frequently in the past two years, and the information on Chang'an's boundary is relatively lagging behind. Fortunately, there is Yang Shi, who is the pioneer of fashion gossip. If Wu Xu wants to know anything, he can just ask Yang Shi.

Today, Wu Xu invited Mrs. Yang to come to the palace, originally to listen to the upper classes in Chang’an’s opinion of the “Surname Record”, which has been implemented for a while, and has been published by Chang’an Publishing Co., Ltd. What do you think.

Mrs. Yang just said that the aristocratic families in the Guanzhong area are very contemptuous of the "Surname Records", and they don't look down on the new aristocratic families here. The "Forbidden Marriage Order" issued by the imperial court is secretly married, and some offshoots of the declining family use the title of "Forbidden Marriage Family" to raise the bride price of the women in the family and make huge profits...

In short, the big and small families in Chang'an are in a mess because of this "Surname Record"!

Yang is worried that Wu Xu will be angered by some aristocratic families because of this matter...

No, even Mr. Li, who was favored by the emperor and empress, suffered a disaster!

Mrs. Yang just mentioned this point just now, and she couldn't help expressing her deep sympathy for Mr. Li's experience.

"Aniang, you mean that any family with some background in Beijing will not betroth the young lady to Li Xianggong?" Wu Xu was also a little surprised when he heard this. These families would be so united in resisting one person, and still How rare!

"That's right!" Yang couldn't help but regretted, "Li Xianggong is such a talented person, what a pity!"

Wu Xu just smiled and didn't reply.

A man who marries a daughter-in-law will have worries about the future, and he will inevitably be timid when doing things!

Like Li Sanlang, who can wholeheartedly uphold his ideals, fight wherever he wants, and slander whoever he wants is really rare!

Wu Xu thought of Li Sanlang's various benefits, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

She had vowed to help that kid as a matchmaker before, but because Li Sanlang took the lead in promoting the "Record of Surnames", his sweetheart's class regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, and so far, the little Lu Xianggong still has eyebrows when he sees Li San !

She can't do it as a matchmaker!

Fortunately, Li San acted like a normal person, and this time he offered to go to Tuyuhun to deal with Lu Dongzan and hold back the [-] Tubo army.

If he can come back safely this time, the credit is probably enough to make him a duke...

Well, I have to find a safe wife for him. If he is hooked up by some beautiful Tubo beauty or Persian beauty, it will be terrible!

Wu Xu's thoughts drifted a little far away for a while, and she didn't pay attention to hearing that Yang Shi had already gonessip about Su Dingfang.

"This General Su has made great military exploits and is famous all over the world. He is not just such a mighty figure!" Mrs. Yang has heard of General Su's reputation for a long time, but she has never seen the deity. It's just the wife of the Duke of the Su family who hasn't passed by. Hearing that General Su is coming to visit today, she is quite yearning for it.

When Wu Xu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Old Su is not a handsome young man, not to mention his rough appearance, he would speak a few words in dialect from time to time when speaking official Chinese, which often made her and Li Xiaojiu laugh and cry.

Moreover, this guy is a real hard-working late bloomer. In his early years, because of his dull temper and honesty, he could not get ahead under His Majesty Li Er. Later, he was finally favored by Wu Xu and promoted. After receiving the advice of an expert, he began to learn to please the supreme leader...

In the end, because of his upright temper and lack of flexibility, he couldn't even learn how to pat His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's dragon butt, and made jokes like 'fishing for dragons'!

However, it was precisely because of Lao Su's straightforward temperament that Wu Xu could use him to go all over the world without worrying about his ulterior motives.

Such a man who is not handsome, not young, and not very good at pleasing people, probably won't be able to catch Yang's eyes!

Wu Xu felt that if Xue Rengui was here today, Mrs. Yang would probably be interested...

She was thinking wildly, when she suddenly saw that Xiao Shunzi had hurried back.

"My lady, the emperor will be here soon, and he said he will summon Duke Xing in Zichen Hall..."

Yang's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she blurted out: "That's a good relationship!" After saying this, she also felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she hurriedly got up and said to Wu Xu: "Aniang, just avoid it~~~~~"

After saying that, Mrs. Yang twisted her waist and walked towards the apse, looking very happy.

Wu Xu: "..." Her old lady is not nearly seventy, but only seventeen, right?

Without waiting for Wu Xu to think about it, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu has already arrived outside Zichen Hall, and all the people in the hall rushed to greet him.

Wu Xu also stood up willingly, and greeted His Majesty the Emperor.

"Awu, what are you doing up? Sit down quickly..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had a hint of joy on his face, and he didn't know which unlucky minister was tricked by him again today.

He walked up to Wu Xu in a few steps, held the latter's hand, and helped her to sit back on the soft couch.

"Why, the candidates have already been agreed upon?" Seeing Li Xiaojiu looking like a little fox who stole a chicken, Wu Xu first thought of whether he had selected the kid from that family on the list to go to Tuyuhun...

No, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu shook his head and said: "The list is just arranged by the Political Affairs Hall... I am happy that the person recommended by Li San really has to be used this time, and he actually knows a secret route from the south of Tubo to Luoxie City! "

When Wu Xu heard this, she couldn't help being startled, "From the south?!" Isn't the south of Tibet the Himalayas?How to get here?Is it impossible to climb the snow mountain? !

Seeing Wu Xu's expression, Li Zhi knew that she was thinking wrong, and was about to explain, when he heard a report from the palace outside the palace: "Report to the Emperor and Empress, Xing Guogong Su Lie begs to see..."

The voice of the palace man hadn't finished yet, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu hadn't had time to say, "Let Xing Guogong go to the palace", when he saw a tall man rushing in. This man didn't know what happened. When he was at the top of the steps, he suddenly staggered, and then he jumped forward suddenly, and fell like a dog chewing mud...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu: "..."

Wu Xu: "..."

Everyone was stunned...
