I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Xiao Huangmen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, this is not a sensitive question, it is easy to answer, otherwise he would feel that the things he just accepted would be hot.

He said with a smile: "Sima made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, so His Majesty will naturally reward the ministers who have made great achievements."

It turned out that it was because of this that Luo Shixing felt relieved.

During the time between these two sentences, Cheng Jingwei came out from the room, also wearing official uniforms, and the eyes of the little yellow door swayed back and forth between the two of them, and he couldn't help feeling: "Isn't the water and soil in Lingnan raising people? The two young gentlemen are really A show of talent."

Luo Shixing thanked him for his compliment with a smile, and then got into the bullock cart with Cheng Jingwei.

After getting into the car, Luo Shixing said in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to see that you have something to do with counter-insurgency, and he will definitely ask about it."

Cheng Jing nodded slightly, compared to Luo Shixing, he was really not nervous.

However, he had never seen Wu Zhao in his last life, and when he got up, Wu Zhao had already passed away, or he could invade the Central Plains so smoothly because Li Xian was in power at the time, if it was Wu Zhao, he might not have Chance.

After entering the palace gate, Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei got out of the car and walked obediently. Unless they were old or the emperor gave permission, no official was allowed to ride in the palace.

But that's good too. In later generations, Ziwei City didn't seem to have many ruins, not as good as Daming Palace, so I can take advantage of this time to see more.

And the most eye-catching thing in Ziwei City should be the paradise after Mingtang.

Paradise can be said to be the tallest and largest building in the Tang Dynasty today, no, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tallest and largest building in the world.

Luo Shixing only knew a little about the brilliance of the Mingtang from historical records, but no matter what words he used, he couldn't describe the shock when he saw the heaven.

Although he knew that it was best not to look around casually in the palace, he still couldn't help but glanced at the heaven.

Xiao Huangmen didn't say anything, just now when he was on the road, he secretly opened the sepak takraw ball to have a look, at first he thought there might be a little copper coins in it, anyway, the state is poor, so it's just a matter of giving more or less.

What these people know best is to watch people order dishes. Luo Shixing is more favored now, so they naturally don't care so much.

In the end, I didn't expect that there were small silver balls in it, and they were the ones without imprints. Even if someone came to investigate, they would not be able to use this as an excuse to say that he was guilty.

Xiao Huangmen knew at a glance that the Jiaozhou governor did this on purpose, in order not to cause trouble to each other.

Being generous and careful, Xiao Huangmen was more tolerant of him, not to mention looking at heaven more, it was nothing.

Along the way, Xiao Huangmen even reminded them of the precautions when entering the palace. Of course, such things as dancing and worship must be indispensable. Fortunately, Luo Shixing was dragged by the gentlemen to make up lessons before Luo Shixing came to Luoyang.

Luo Shixing was taken all the way to the Zhenguan Hall. This palace has a long history, and it is one of the emperor's inner palaces. It was here that Emperor Gaozong died.

The courtiers that the emperor met here were generally confidantes, and of course they might have less formal meanings.

Luo Shixing didn't care either, formally or not, he was the governor of Jiaozhou, as long as Wu Zhao could support what he wanted to do, she could meet him wherever she wanted.

Luo Shixing was taken outside the Zhenguan Hall and waited for a while, and then a little yellow gate came out to inform them that they could go in.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei arranged their clothes before they strode into the Zhenguan Hall. They were led into the main hall, and when they arrived, they lowered their heads and said loudly, "Chen Luo Shixing/Cheng Jingwei pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhao sat at the head, and was somewhat curious about these two children whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

But at this time, she hadn't seen the faces of these two people. After all, they had kept their heads down since entering the door, and they were even saluting at this time.

But judging from the figures of these two children, it is enough to be called pleasing to the eye, especially when their salutes are quite fluent.

Wu Zhao said in a slow voice: "The two lovers are flat."

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei just stood up, straightened their clothes and looked up at Wu Zhao.

The status of scholar-bureaucrats is not low these days, and it is not an unforgivable sin to look directly at the emperor. Even the emperor and the ministers sat opposite each other when discussing matters, and a few years later, the emperor and the ministers would still salute each other.

After Luo Shixing looked up, he saw two beautiful men beside Wu Zhao. After a little thought, he realized that they should be Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi.

Although there are many derivative works of Zhang Yizhi in various film and television works of later generations, and many say that he is the most favored, Zhang Changzong is actually better-looking than Zhang Yizhi. After all, he is called Lianhualang. His brother Zhang Yizhi is actually better than Zhang Yizhi. He is a little worse, but he is also a handsome man.

It's just that Luo Shixing lamented that the Zhang family brothers look good, and the Zhang family brothers' hearts froze when they saw him and Cheng Jingwei.

The first reaction of the two of them was: rival!

You must know that the two of them are able to be favored because they are sweet-talking and good-looking. I don’t know if the two who come here are sweet or not, but they are really good-looking. They are so good that the Zhang brothers have never seen them prettier than them. people.

Zhang Yizhi was a little uneasy. He was originally brought in by Zhang Changzong. Wu Zhao was dispensable to him and could easily be replaced.

On the contrary, Zhang Changzong calmed down quickly. He knew that his position was different from the two people in front of him. Wu Zhao was old but had a clear mind.

However, he soon wavered, because Wu Zhao actually waved to Luo Shixing and said, "Come on, let me have a look."

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei looked at each other and took a step forward, but Wu Zhao let them pass again, Luo Shixing boldly walked to the side of Wu Zhao's seat.

Wu Zhao's attitude was very kind, he looked at Luo Shixing and said with a smile, "I've grown up."

Luo Shixing blinked: "If I hadn't grown up, I would have wondered if I had gone back to the past when I saw Your Majesty just now. Your Majesty is truly youthful."

Wu Zhao is indeed not old. She is in her 60s. It seems that people will believe that she is 30 years old. Of course, the most important thing is that her hair is not gray. I don’t know if it has been dyed.

With black hair and no wrinkles, the skin is firm and smooth without any sagging feeling, and it certainly looks young.

Zhang Changzong, who had just moved to the other side to make way for Luo Shixing, had learned a lot. Of course, they would flatter Wu Zhao, but they were very reserved. This was the first time they had seen such straightforward flattery.

What about talented people?Shouldn't wits speak more tactfully?

Wu Zhao smiled happily. There are all kinds of people around her, and it's not that there are no straightforward people, but like Luo Shixing, who speaks straightforwardly and straightforwardly, but with some euphemism, there are few people who speak interestingly. .

Especially if the other party is good-looking, it will naturally feel better to be praised by good-looking people.

Fortunately, Wu Zhao didn't pay attention to these all the time. She directly ordered someone to write a poem, and then asked about the affairs of Jiaozhou and what Luo Shixing had seen and heard along the way.

After Luo Shixing sat down with Cheng Jingwei, Luo Shixing answered Wu Zhao's question seriously.

The more she answers, the more she admires her. I have to admit that it makes sense for Wu Zhao to control the government. She really knows a lot of things, and it's not superficial, like the trend of national food prices. The simplest thing.

Fortunately, Luo Shixing is also a pragmatic person, and he has all kinds of data at his fingertips. As for what he has seen and heard on the road, Luo Shixing doesn't plan to talk about it.

No matter whether it is good or bad, it is easy to cause trouble, so he just said: "We came here by water, and we have been on the boat all the time. We haven't got off the boat for the journey. We know some of the scenery along the way, and nothing else."

After hearing this, Wu Zhao asked, "Then why did you go to put down the rebellion again?"

This matter was actually something that Qu Chongyu and Cen Changqian wondered about, because Cheng Jingwei didn't say anything, and they couldn't speculate too much, so they simply didn't write it in the memorial to the court.

After Luo Shixing heard this, he said angrily: "At first we didn't want to take care of this matter, Li Zhen... oh, there are not many soldiers under the Xi family, so they can't be opponents of the imperial court, but he cut off the canal. All the goods from the merchant ships were robbed by them. There were also some things on the canal that were transported to prepare for the celebration. Not to mention those things were robbed, and the officials who escorted the goods were also killed. That is the only way we must pass. Yifu's madness will definitely not let us go, and the minister is still in a hurry, so he sent someone over in a fit of anger."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Zhao innocently. After hearing this, Wu Zhao understood that what Luo Shixing did was also considered self-defense.

She looked at Cheng Jingwei who had been sitting there not saying much, and asked, "What about your banner of getting rich?"

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei glanced at Luo Shixing with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, it was because the monarch and ministers clashed with the locals when they were in Beidai County. The two of us were ordinary people, so we made one casually, and the gentleman said that his goal was to make a fortune, so he embroidered these four characters, and later this was kept. In Lingnan, this flag is more beautiful than other flags. Shock Xiaoxiao."

After he finished speaking, Luo Shixing smiled a little embarrassedly at Wu Zhao: "Young and naughty works made His Majesty laugh."

As soon as they said this, Wu Zhao thought of the so-called League of Worried Fathers, and couldn't help but smile, feeling that these two children were more interesting.

So she said: "It's still a risk, there is still a period of time before the grand ceremony, it's not too late for you to wait."

Luo Shixing said seriously: "That won't work. The minister transported a lot of seafood to His Majesty on the boat, and it won't be fresh after a long time, so the minister was very anxious at that time."

"Seafood?" Wu Zhao was a little surprised.

Zhang Changzong on the side couldn't help but interjected with a smile: "The tributes made by the assassin Luo are quite unique, but we just need to pay attention not to break them when the gifts are given to the hall during the grand ceremony."
