Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 144 The Demon

Empress Wu still maintained the posture Wan'er saw when she went out, standing with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was thinking about something. :"explain."

Wan'er knew that someone had already reported to her what she had done abroad, she stepped forward, bowed her head and said, "Minzhi Zhou Guogong, ask my concubine to arrange someone in front of His Majesty."

Empress Wu suddenly opened her eyes.

As if Wan'er didn't see the stern look in her eyes, she said Wu Minzhi's words to Empress Wu respectfully and thoroughly. Plainly, only after finishing speaking, did he cautiously mention: "Is the concubine going to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"We'll talk about it when we return to Beijing." Empress Wu held her hands behind her back for a long time, but in the end she still didn't make any ruling on the matter.

Wan'er pondered for a moment, and finally said something extra: "It doesn't seem right for the servant to have such friendship with the minister?"

Empress Wu sneered and said, "It's nothing more than a servant in the palace, that's all he has." He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I have my own calculations."

Wan'er stopped talking, and seeing that she seemed to have something to say, she waited for a while before listening to Empress Wu said: "This child, Si, is really low-minded. Usually, it is a random servant. You don't need to be familiar with it, just pass it on once or twice." In a word, she followed happily, and she didn't like to bring followers, and she didn't know when she was cheated, and she had to suffer once before she remembered."

Although Wan'er didn't fully understand what she meant, she waited quietly, waiting for her order, and sure enough Empress Wu walked around with her hands behind her back for a while, then turned around and ordered: "Do as he said, don't lead Sizi to remote places, Take her to... well, let's go for a walk in the Zhengshitang, let her see how the gentlemen look when they discuss affairs, so as not to always treat the masters indifferent."

When talking about her daughter, her voice softened unconsciously. She didn't realize this, but Wan'er did. She tilted her head, and immediately felt Tianhou's eyes cast on Dingxin, and hurriedly responded. Said: "Yes."

As for how to make Wu Minzhi's people obey orders, and how to face Wu Minzhi after doing so, that's not the business of the Queen of Heaven. To accomplish this, if you do well, you will immediately be rewarded and trusted by her. If you can't do it, you are not qualified to be her servant.After staying in Zichen Palace for so long, Wan'er deeply understands this point.

Tianhou was very satisfied with Wan'er's reply, nodded, and said, "You have worked hard recently, you are allowed half a day off, go."

Wan'er bowed obediently, and slowly backed out.

After returning to the residence and sitting for a while, a deacon politely approached her and asked her if she knew a "Zheng 27".

Wan'er said: "There are so many relatives in the clan, you can't recognize who they are just by the name, it's better to meet them once."

The deacon smiled and said, "That's a good thing for a talented person." Sure enough, a small servant came over, and when he saw Wan'er, he bowed and cupped his hands: "Cousin." Then he said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and there is no news from relatives for a long time." Now, thanks to Zhou Guogong’s help, I found out that my cousin is also here and has become a talented person.”

Wan'er nodded to the deacon: "It is indeed my cousin. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to say a few words, please ask the deacon to be accommodating."

The deacon said repeatedly: "That's natural, that's natural." Glancing at Zheng 27, he exited the door.

Wan'er looked at Zheng 27, this person was no different from the thousands of little servants in the palace, even the flattering eyes when looking at him were the same, she had seen such a person since she was a child, it was too much Many, know how to deal with it.

Wan'er changed her dignified and quiet appearance in front of the imperial court, half-closed her eyes, tilted her head, leaned on the table with one hand, and played with the knot on the tie with the other. After a long time, she said casually: "You don't want to accept an errand." , the name is recorded in the book, and it is easy to leave traces. You just need to go with me to be on duty outside the temple every day, and wait for me at the door. When they see that I brought you here, they will never dare to ask more questions In a word, you waited for the opportunity to meet the princess and lead her to the last tent in front of the door."

Then Zheng 27 said in astonishment: "But Zhou Guogong said..."

"Zhou Guogong?" Wan'er raised her eyebrows, "Zhou Guogong asked me to do something, that's why I asked you to come here. If you want to gain a foothold in the ban, you need to rely on the Ministry of the Palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not Zhou Guogong."

Zheng 27's eyes flicked back and forth, and after a while he smiled and said, "Sister is right, brother knows."

Wan'er said: "It's good to know, let's go."

Zheng 27 knocked on the ground deftly, and retreated with a smile.

As soon as he left, Wan'er resumed her upright sitting posture, she only felt comfortable when her body touched half of the chair, and she was not used to it when she sat loosely.

Bitch.

She laughed at herself, and fell on the bed a little tiredly, with her eyes closed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.During the day, what Wu Minzhi said lingered in her ears, making her restless.

Grandfather, father, Shangguan family...

Wan'er got up suddenly, changed her clothes, and stepped out of the atrium. Her residence was very close to the main hall of the palace, and she walked through a small path to the corridor at the back of the main hall. Today Wan'er went to the small hall where she lived and wrote, and found that there was no one guarding the outside of the hall. When she entered the hall, several palace people saw her and shook their hands silently, but did not make a sound to warn.

Wan'er approached Empress Wu quietly, and saw that she was copying a copybook.

"What do Wanqing think of my calligraphy?" Empress Wu didn't turn her head, but as if she had eyes behind her back, she yelled that she had broken Wan'er's calligraphy. Your Majesty's calligraphy."

Empress Wu conveniently put the pen down, Wan'er stepped forward to take the pen skillfully, put it away carefully, and when she went to collect the copybook, Empress Wu smiled and asked her again: "Do you know whose writing it is?"

Wan'er shook her head.

Empress Wu stared at her and said with a smile: "This is the handwriting of your grandfather Shangguanyi. When His Majesty saw his handwriting so elegant and clear, he ordered him to be my servant. This is the "Book of Encouraging Agriculture" he wrote for me."

As if killed by lightning, Wan'er glanced at the copybook in her hand in dismay. She never thought that it would be her grandfather's handwriting, let alone that Empress Wu would still keep her enemy's handwriting.

Empress Wu's gaze has moved away from Wan'er, and landed on her own writing, and then on the scroll on the other side of the case.She smiled and opened the top scroll in the pile, shook her head after only one glance: "No progress." Called a person and threw the scroll in front of that person: "Tell Princess Changle to go back and rewrite. "

The man responded in a low voice, and just after getting the scroll, Empress Wu changed her mind: "Forget it, let her relax for a few days."

The man picked up the scroll and sent it back respectfully.Empress Wu unfolded the scroll again, smiled and said to Wan'er: "Look, Wanqing, I was forced to learn this thing, if I didn't stare at her, I don't know how well she learned! "

Wan'er felt that her entire face was stiff, she glanced blankly at Princess Changle's masterpiece, and forced a smile: "Princess is still young, and her writing skills are not strong enough, but her skills are already pretty good."

Empress Wu smiled and said, "Is that so? Wanqing said just now that calligraphy is not good and dared not comment on my handwriting, but now she does it again?"

Wan'er shook her hands, and finally came to her senses. Just as she was about to kneel down, her chin was pinched by Empress Wu, and she froze on the spot, unable to move: "Wu Minzhi suspected that his mother and sister died in my hands." , so you hate me, how about you? Your grandfather and father did indeed die in my hands."

"Gun is Yu's father, and Emperor Shun killed Gun and used Yu, so he has the fortune of water control." The more critical, Wan'er's sanity seemed to be clearer, and she fixedly looked at Empress Wu, and replied this sentence.

Empress Wu laughed again: "You have a high opinion of yourself, but you don't know what achievements you can achieve?"

She squeezed Wan'er's chin, glanced left and right like looking at a horse's mouth, let go, and went back to the case, carefully admiring Wan'er's grandfather's copybook, Wan'er knew that this was no longer the time to hesitate, He pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has been in charge of the country for more than ten years. There are many people in the court who have been promoted by His Majesty's grace, and there are not a few people who have been implicated by His Majesty's anger. However, it is inevitable that His Majesty will be hindered, and I think that if His Majesty is a long-term plan for peace, he should try to make these people dispel their grievances."

Empress Wu looked at her: "So?"

Wan'er said: "When all the princes enter the court, they all come here for fame. Your Majesty promotes poor men and blocks their path to fame. This is because of resentment. If your majesty can show the sincerity of appointment, everyone will strive to be your majesty's favor." , Naturally, there is no time to complain. As for how to show sincerity...Your Majesty can hear that Emperor Hangao conferred Yongchi?"

Empress Wu narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "I thought you wanted to find out the truth about these people for me. Who knows, after all, it's for you to plan for yourself. As long as you are willing to offer high-ranking officials and generous salaries, who would not work hard? Can I rely on you to show my sincerity?"

Wan'er calmly said: "The concubine can naturally use the excuse of the death of the grandfather and father to lure those people's details. If your majesty is a foolish king who plays power like Han Huan and Sui Yang, the concubine has already proposed this method to your majesty, but your majesty It is the lord who cares about his family and country and has great talent and general strategy. He will disdain such low-level power tactics. What the concubine said is the way of the lord, the sincerity of the lord and his ministers, and the determination of His Majesty to work hard and build a generation. There are many people in the Manchu Dynasty who can do it for His Majesty, and there is no shortage of such capable people in His Majesty's palace, but what a concubine can do is really a matter of His Majesty's heart, but not everyone can do it. "

She raised her head, looked at Empress Wu, and said word by word: "Concubine, I wish to help Your Majesty to build a foundation that has never been seen in ancient times, which is impossible for the predecessors."

Empress Wu suppressed her smile and walked up to Wan'er.The people in the hall had already been waved away by her, leaving only her and Wan'er in the room.

Wan'er knew that she was making a huge gamble.

Everyone thought that what Empress Wu wanted was nothing more than becoming a "Queen Dowager".But Wan'er knows very well that Empress Wu's intentions are by no means above the word "empress dowager" - no one who just wants to be a queen mother will deliberately sit in the study in front of her husband and read memorials No one who only wants to be a queen mother will insist on letting a woman go to Fengchan, and no one who only wants to be a queen mother will call herself "Zhen" all the time and demand to be with her all the time. The status of the husband is almost the same.

Since she came to power, Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has ordered the Neishutang to teach classics and history books, appointed female officials in the palace, suggested that fathers should observe filial piety for their mothers for three years, give the land for their daughters, and let their youngest daughters study with their sons...

In her heart, there is nothing a man can do that a woman can do.A mere "Queen Dowager" who is dependent on her husband and son, I'm afraid she may not see it in her eyes.

It is precisely because of this that she said to herself the words of "willing to take good ministers as her confidantes and create a peaceful and difficult world together", which is what a generation of heroes would say, not what a "queen mother" would say.

I just don't know, is the difference between "Tao" and "Skills" she keeps talking about, and those ambitious futures are really from the heart, or are they just a trick?

If her words were just words, she would have lost this match. A person with a treacherous heart will not keep a person by his side who can see through his mind.If she really has the heart, although she will still be suspicious and unhappy if she is caught by her own mind, she will value herself more from now on—for example, the Emperor Han Gao who used his teeth—naturally, this does not mean that she won the bet up.

Wan'er raised her head and glanced at this Majesty. It is rumored that a person with a square forehead is very wise, and a person with a wide forehead is blessed. This Majesty is indeed as said in the photo book, both lucky and wise, but I don't know whether this good fortune is great or not. Good fortune, or a small fortune?Is this wisdom the wisdom of a sage, or the superficial thinking of a fool?Where is my luck?

Empress Wu suddenly burst into laughter, pointing to Wan'er's grandfather's copybook while laughing, "Since you have said so, I can't justify not rewarding you. I can't keep this copybook, so you can take it away."

Wan'er took the copybook respectfully, bowed solemnly, and when she was about to leave the door, she heard Empress Wu say again: "From now on, you will always be by my side, regardless of family or state affairs, you don't have to avoid it."

Wan'er was temporarily relieved.In any case, besides literature, I finally gained a little... value.
