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

Wu Zhao took a look at Zhang Changzong and said, "Since you're convicted, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Go and find out who speaks out loud."

Zhang Changzong broke into a cold sweat instantly, this... this cannot be investigated, Wu Zhao's own orders must not be perfunctory, but if it is really necessary to investigate... then he may be the one who will cause trouble.

After all, it was Wu Sansi's remarks after drinking, and he didn't really mean to write a memorial to list the crimes.

It's just that he thinks this is an opportunity, he can take this opportunity to hit Luo Shixing, let the other party know who is the real favorite, and let Luo Shixing be more respectful to him.

In the end, who would have thought that this was a hard stubble with a sharp tongue, and every word could please Wu Zhao.

But Zhang Changzong didn't dare to disobey Wu Zhao's intention, he quickly kowtowed and said, "Yes."

Zhang Yizhi on the side watched coldly and kept silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of his younger brother, but mainly because Zhang Changzong had already caused a lot of trouble, so he couldn't get involved.

Luo Shixing felt that it was not enough, but he also knew that it was impossible to kill Zhang Changzong with such a small matter.

So he was also very aggrieved and said: "This matter is not cautious enough. You should ask His Majesty for instructions first, otherwise there will be no such misunderstanding. It's just...the emperor's heir has a reputation, and he doesn't go out of the East Palace. I have always been cautious, and I am worried...the other party's purpose is not to convict the minister, but to separate His Majesty's mother and son, where in this world is there a closer relationship than mother and son?"

With a thought in his mind, Wu Zhao glanced at Luo Shixing thoughtfully, this little bastard had something to say.

Luo Shixing accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't dare to say anything more. What he wanted was to push Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi down. Their fight for the crown prince meant that Li Dan's life might be in danger.

Although it is clearly recorded in history that Li Dan will ascend the throne and make Li Longji the crown prince, the problem is that many things have changed.

The Zhang brothers, who obviously would not enter the palace for a few years, have already entered the palace now, but Wu Zhao, who should have been enthroned two years earlier, has waited for another two years.

Luo Shixing didn't know where his butterfly had affected him, so he didn't dare to take it seriously. If he accidentally put Li Dan in danger, then Datang would be in trouble.

Li Longji was indeed a bit fatuous in the later period, but he also created the prosperity of Kaiyuan in the early stage. What's more, Li Tang's royal family has almost been killed now, and there seems to be no better candidate except him.

Not only that, Luo Shixing even planned to push Li Xian down if he had the ability, so as not to cause a palace coup.

It is a pity that so many talents were involved in the coup and died.

What's more, Li Xian is not a wise master.

Of course, an idea is an idea, and it is quite difficult to implement it, so Luo Shixing quickly took it back after taking the tentative step, and the subsequent things... are out of his control.

I don't know what Wu Zhao was thinking, but he lowered his eyes slightly and said: "The grand ceremony is coming soon, don't cause trouble."

Luo Shixing quickly responded, and said in a low voice: "Actually... the minister brought some things this time, and it feels inappropriate to treat them as tributes. Yesterday, I was so focused on seafood that I forgot about it. I don't know if Your Majesty has the time to take a look at it today." ?”

The Zhang brothers on the side are going numb, why does this person get gifts every time he enters the palace?Can't you finish it all in one go?

In fact, Luo Shixing really forgot. He had prepared a lot of odds and ends. Yesterday he was busy talking about seafood, but he forgot to mention another gift. When he remembered it, it was inappropriate.

Wu Zhao nodded slightly: "Send it up."

Luo Shixing hurriedly asked people to go home to pick it up, Xiao Huangmen also ran fast, and after a while, he carefully carried a box into Zhenguan Hall.

The box was brought to Wu Zhao. At first glance, she thought it was just a dressing box. I have to say, this dressing box is really exquisite. Birds, of course some colored parts are dyed shells.

After the box was opened, it was indeed in the style of a vanity box. A round mirror was inlaid inside the lid. On the first layer were some silver combs and the like, and on the second layer were some jewelry, such as pearl hairpins, necklaces, earrings, etc. It is exquisite, but the most striking thing is the bottom layer of pearls.

Those pearls seem to be connected in series, and the sizes are not exactly the same. The largest one is the size of a grape, and the ruby ​​in the series is faintly revealed in the middle.

Wu Zhao didn't know what it was. If it was a necklace, there were too many pearls, so he raised his chin: "Take it out and have a look."

Xiao Huangmen got the order, and immediately carefully took out the pearls inside.

After they were all taken out, all the people present widened their eyes and were overwhelmed by the luxury in front of them—it turned out to be a pearl shawl!

The pearl shawls are all made of the whitest kind of sea pearls, and they are round at every moment without any blemishes—of course, even if there is a little blemish at the growth point, it will be covered by perforation, and the appearance is naturally flawless.

The button of the pearl shawl is made of a ruby, with a circle of small pearls inlaid around it, and tassels made of rubies and small pearls are symmetrically placed on the bottom hanging part, and the moon is made of pearls in the middle The pattern of the sun and the sun symbolizes that the sun and the moon are in the sky, corresponding to Wu Zhao's word Zhao.

Even though Wu Zhao was already tired, seeing the pearl shawl now made her feel much more refreshed.

No woman can resist the charm of pearls and gems, and Wu Zhao is no exception.

She reached out and touched the pearl shawl and looked at Luo Shixing with a smile: "I've never seen this thing before, you have some ingenuity."

Luo Shixing smiled and said: "It was impossible in the past because no one could suppress the luxury of so many jewels, but Your Majesty is different, these jewels are just your foil."

What he said was really not just flattery, Wu Zhao would be bestowed with the word "beautiful" by Emperor Taizong, which shows that she is good-looking. At that time, there were many beauties in the harem, so she was the only one who was given this word.

Now that Wu Zhao is getting older, although she doesn't have the vigor of a young girl, her majesty is not something that ordinary women can have. She can hold back no matter how exaggerated the jewelry and clothing are.

Xiao Huangmen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to give it a try?"

After getting new "clothes", Wu Zhao naturally wanted to try them out, and Xiao Huangmen was also very discerning, so he asked someone to bring the full-length mirror over.

Wu Zhao stood in front of the full-length mirror and observed carefully for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, let's add this one on the day of the grand ceremony."

Zhang Changzong was almost suffocated by the side, and now he especially wanted to know how Luo Shixing's brain grew, and why he could always please Wu Zhao?

You must know that since Wu Zhao came to the throne, everyone has been very worried about what to give, the four treasures of the study or decorations, but they feel that they are not good enough, and they dare not give away treasures and jewelry. They always feel that this woman can no longer be treated as a simple woman. You have to look up to the male emperor, but even so, you can't give men's accessories. What if you are made a fuss by those cruel officials?

It's just a headache.

However, Luo Shixing didn't have these concerns. As the only female emperor throughout the ages, he felt that Wu Zhao was absolutely proud of being a woman in the Great Treasure.

It is impossible for her to dress herself up as a man or let the civil and military courts treat her as a man, so what's the point?

Luo Shixing felt that the thinking of many ministers was simply too rigid, and of course it might be because of the mainstream thinking of the patriarchal society here.

After Wu Zhao put on the pearl shawl, he took out all the jewelry from the jewelry box. It was obvious that they were all in one set, all made of pearls, rubies and gold.

The pearl hairpin and necklace were made into matching flower styles, so that the jewelry all over her body would easily become very gaudy if she was not careful, but Wu Zhao was indeed able to hold it back, and these jewelry made her look younger.

Zhang Yizhi put on the jewelry for Wu Zhao and said with a smile: "These jewelry styles are novel, and they really suit Your Majesty. The pearl hairpin and the flowers on the necklace should be peonies. May I guess right?"

Because Zhang Yizhi's attitude has always been good, or rather low-key and not showing off, Luo Shixing was kind to him, nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly."

Zhang Changzong opened his mouth to say something, but Zhang Yizhi was afraid that his younger brother would annoy Luo Shixing again, so he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the shape of this peony is particular?"

He asked this question indiscriminately, in order to block Zhang Changzong's words, and couldn't think of other topics in a hurry, so he asked nonsense.

Luo Shixing didn't even look at Zhang Changzong, but only looked at Wu Zhao and said slowly: "Only the peony is truly national, and the capital moves when the flowers bloom."

Wu Zhao smiled even more after hearing this: "Is this your new work?"

Luo Shixing blinked: "Yes, just now when I looked at Your Majesty, these two sentences naturally appeared in my mind."

There are two important points in complimenting a woman: first, don’t mention age, or praise the other party for being young; second, either don’t mention appearance, or praise the other party for being beautiful.

Just grasping these two points is enough.

Of course, if you are really not beautiful enough, you can’t forcefully praise it, or people will still be able to mock you for you. At this time, you only need to praise the other party’s good temperament or other places.

Wu Zhao hasn't seen anything in recent years. There are so many people who praise her appearance that they are tired of hearing it. It is not uncommon to write poems to praise her. However, in terms of quality, they are not as good as Luo Shixing's casual words.

Zhang Changzong took a deep breath and said, "Since the assassin Luo has written it, why don't you complete this poem, and ask your majesty to give you an order."

He really didn't want to be provocative this time, but wanted to repair the relationship with Luo Shixing.

Zhang Changzong is not a brainless and arrogant person, he also has his own judgment. He thinks that Luo Shixing is not as good as this. If you are rich enough, not everyone can casually talk about poetry.

In other words, no one can come up with such fine poems in a few casual sentences.

After all, he is also a son of an official, and he has read a lot of books, so he can tell whether a poem is good or not by listening to it.

Now that the other party has crushed him in all directions, he is not stupid, it was just that he couldn't restrain his inner jealousy before.

In the past, as long as he appeared, he was the center of everyone's attention, and everyone flattered him, but Luo Shixing stole all the limelight as soon as he came, and Zhang Changzong's psychological gap can be imagined.

It's just that it's too late for him to change now. Before, he was just jealous, but he made up rumors. If he didn't handle it well just now, he might have to confess to Luoyang. How could Luo Shixing keep him?

Luo Shixing glanced at Zhang Changzong with a smile and said: "It's the same reason, but poetry also pays attention to inspiration. Please give me a few days, Your Majesty."

Naturally, Wu Zhao agreed, and Luo Shixing successfully delivered the gift. Before leaving, he said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if your majesty will honor the banquet in the residence in two days?"

Wu Zhao looked at him, and then saw the child wink mischievously and said, "I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Zhao responded, "Okay."

Only then did Luo Shixing bow and salute and leave the palace. After returning to the mansion, he saw that Cheng Jingwei hadn't said anything yet, so Cheng Jingwei said a step ahead: "I have sent someone to Wu Sansi's home to inform the news."
