[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 25 Returning 07

"That's not bad..." Wu Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's rare that you understand better than me!"

After all, the person who stayed in Zhongnanshan Palace for a while!

Wu Xu couldn't help but tugged Li Zhi's chin beard—it had grown by two or three inches, and it looked rather fairy-like—and sighed: "Your idea is good, but you still need to guard against this kind of beard." The good scriptures were misrepresented by the bad monks..."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It all depends on your methods, Mei Niang..."

Wu Xu was not modest either, and said, "This is definitely possible."

Now the world is peaceful, the Tang Empire is rich and the people are strong, and the monarchy is highly concentrated.

Coupled with the eradication of the biggest opposition force in the clan in one fell swoop this time, it can be said that no one in the Tang Dynasty dares to choke in front of Wu Xu (even in secret) anymore!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, if she issues some government orders and laws under the prestige of the emperor, it will definitely be able to flow unimpeded!

And her family's Erlang probably also saw this opportunity, took the opportunity to resign from the East Palace position, and pushed Shiro up.

First, it completely eliminates the possibility of conflicts between the mother and son due to changes in their respective status and power, and second, it also takes advantage of their wish to accompany their elder brother.

As for Shiro...

What a fresh start!

Wu Xu secretly sighed in his heart: Shiro is a good seedling, but unfortunately he is a little younger, and he has an elder brother with him to teach experience and lessons... It's not bad!

The Regent is the Regent!

Now that Wu Xu had made up his mind, Li Zhi was relieved, and immediately ordered Li Sanlang and others to start writing "Regent Rate".

Although it is a new thing, but the regent king is amazing, as the name suggests!

How clever Li Sanlang and others are, they made an outline of the "Regent Rate" within two days.

As for the details, the Zhengshitang will start arguing slowly. The old man, the emperor, is going back to the Zhongnanshan Palace to recuperate—of course, he will also take Wu Xu away with him.

The euphemistic name is: It's time to take a break today, you can take care of ordinary trivial matters, and if you have any major matters, you can find the newly released regent!

In order to avoid the gang of old men from the Zhengshitang coming to block people, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu left an imperial edict in a very lonely manner, and then very cleverly drove overnight, dragging Wu Xu away...

By the time everyone reacted, the two giants of the empire had long since disappeared without a trace—neither returning to Zhongnanshan Palace nor Chang'an.

All the relatives, big and small, who stayed in Shendu could only stare and stare at each other.

Fortunately, Wu Xu still has a little conscience, and left a handwritten letter to Li Sanlang, saying that he just went out with the emperor for a period of private patrol in microservices, and will return soon.

In addition, Wu Xu also said that there will be no major changes in the official staff of the new East Palace, only some young people will be added as attendants, and the specific selection work will be fully responsible for the selection work.

As for the work of compiling the "Regent Rate", Wu Xu hoped that the Zhengshitang would take it seriously. She hoped that when the regent—the king of Qi, Li Xian came back from Fumin, she would be able to see a relatively complete draft...

In addition, if there is any important work during the emperor's absence, please directly ask the regent and prince for instructions.

Keke, it's just purple.

Li Xianggong, who finished reading the edict of the Emperor Wu, smiled like a spring breeze on his face, but it made everyone present shudder.

"Since Emperor Wu values ​​us so much, how can we disappoint him?"

When everyone heard the words, they only agreed that they were right, even Zhang Wenguan, Wei Shuyu and others swallowed back their complaints.

Li Xianggong is really annoyed this time...

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

"Ache——"

With a clear sneezing sound, a group of people rushed over the official road, and it was the "Second Sage" and his party who were hated by Li Xianggong and gritted their teeth.

"It must be Li San talking about me!" Wu Xu rubbed her nose and said embarrassingly.

It feels very cool to skip work and go out to visit mountains and rivers, but the people who are left behind are...

The resentment is estimated to be great...

Wu Xu rubbed her nose again, looked at the scenery on both sides of the official road, and then threw the traces of guilt to the sky——Brother has been sleeping for so many years for the great Tang Dynasty, so he should enjoy it!

Thinking about it, Wu Xu clamped the horse's belly and ran forward quickly. She changed into a riding outfit at this time, covered with veils, and looked heroic.

It's rare that Li Zhijin is also in good spirits, and walks side by side with Wu Xu.

They were followed by three carriages and more than twenty guards.

Speaking of micro-services, the two of them are not so stupid that they don't bring anyone with them, and the two of them ran out to wander around!

This is why Li Sanlang and others are not worried about their safety.

On the spur of the moment, Wu Xu rode his horse and ran happily, throwing a group of guards away by tens of feet, and then slowed down.

Li Zhi has been following her unhurriedly.

There are also many pedestrians on this road, or walking, riding or driving, and so on.

Today, the world is in peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Along the way, they have not found any security problems in the state capitals.

Complacent, Wu Xu said, "In today's prosperous age, how is it compared to the 'Regime of Zhenguan'?"

Afterwards, Li Zhi, who came up to accompany him, just smiled and didn't answer.

Wu Xu knew that he didn't want to talk about his father's dark history, so he stopped there and was about to change the subject.

Unexpectedly, someone had already heard Wu Xu's words, and suddenly interrupted: "Compared to today, how dare 'Zhenguan' be called governing the world?"

When Wu Xu and Li Zhi heard the sound, they turned around and saw that it was a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, driving a very cute pony behind them.

This q person q horse, do you have to speak so old-fashioned?

Wu Xu couldn't help but laugh.

But Li Xiaojiu stared: "How old are you, young man, that you know about the Zhenguan Dynasty?"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the young gentleman's tender face suddenly flushed, "I'm over fifteen years old!"

You're talking about false years, kid...

Wu Xu thought with a sullen smile.

Moreover, is the point of this baby's listening to people wrong?

Seeing Li Xiaojiu blowing his beard and staring more and more, Wu Xu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over: "I think this young man also came out of the imperial capital? Is there any news?"

When the young man heard Wu Xu's question, his face turned suspiciously red again, and he stammered a little: "Wu, Emperor Wu put down the rebels, and the emperor's capital is safe as before... Although Donggong Rang and Rang Xian are a great pity, but The king of Qi is indeed a benevolent and righteous monarch, although he has the title of 'regent', he has no act of arrogance..."

The young man obviously respects Li Xian, the former prince of the East Palace, and has great expectations for the new East Palace.

When it comes to the current emperor Wu Xu, he is more cautious, "The Emperor Wu has far-reaching insights, and has made great achievements for the country and the people..." It's just that he doesn't have a temperament like a woman, and acts as fiercely as his surname.

Wu Xu was very satisfied when he didn't say the last sentence—it's rare to hear the real voice of the people, and I'm really worried that someone will complain!

In other words, Ah Wu's reputation in history is quite bad!

Seeing Wu Xu smiling like a flower, Li Zhi couldn't help snorting beside him.

But the young man made a mistake, thinking that Li Zhi did not agree with his words, he couldn't help but stare round.

Li Zhi felt more and more annoyed: "Young gentleman, you still have points of knowledge when you speak, but, I only heard you mention Jinshang and Donggong, why don't you talk about the emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the young man, but also Wu Xu couldn't help but look sideways.

Could it be that Li Xiaojiu is... jealous...?

"The emperor... the emperor... is naturally a generation of sages who are rare in the ages!" After a short moment of stupefaction, the young man showed a fanatical demeanor, as if he had met a crazy fan of his idol.

Li Zhi didn't expect this young man to have such a high opinion of him, so he couldn't help showing a strange look.

"Emperor Taizong has the merits of founding the country and peace, but he dare not be called the eternal sage..."

Although a son always likes to compare himself with his father, Li Zhi never thought that one day he would be able to compare with his father, let alone be so much more famous than his father!

The ancient holy king of the gods...

I still feel a little excited when I hear it!

"Emperor Taizong certainly had the merits of Anbang, but it is a pity that several expeditions to Korea in the last years of Zhenguan failed; although he has a reputation for being good at accepting advice, he reused Guanlong's nobles..."

"The emperor is different!"

"It is said that the emperor is benevolent and weak, but which emperor in the past dynasties of the Han family can achieve today's achievements?"

"My Great Tang, since the Great Emperor ascended the throne, has conquered Goryeo in the north, conquered Fusang in the east, and conquered Tubo in the west, without any defeat. The land stretches for thousands of miles, and all nations come to court..."

When the young man talked about getting up, he opened his arms like a big roc spreading its wings. Wu Xu was terrified when he saw it, for fear that the baby would fall off the horse!

However, Wu Xu couldn't help but feel complacent when he heard the young man praise Li Xiaojiu's "martial arts" when he was in power, saying that she also contributed to those few battles!

As for the aspect of 'cultural governance', it is obvious to all!

The implementation of the scientific examination system, the popularization of education for all, and the control of information and public opinion, etc., have brought a new look to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Although there are still some stubborn families who are still full of dissatisfaction, the concept of "family background is no longer the only criterion for getting ahead" has begun to take root in people's hearts!

Just like the young man in front of him, he is obviously a beneficiary of the scientific examination system at his age...

To say that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is an 'eternal sage' is really not against his will!

Of course, Li Zhi had already figured this out. He was able to become the emperor, not because he had no qualms, but the situation at that time did not allow him to back down.

Fortunately, Wu Xu was always by his side...

Li Zhi turned his head and saw that Wu Xu was also looking at him. Even through the weft, he could feel that Mei Niang was smiling happily!

cough!

What a beautiful woman with a smile that captivates the country!

Even though they have been an old couple for many years, Li Zhi still can't stand it...

At this moment, he just wanted to hug her and kiss her!

It's a pity that this is on the official road, and there is such a short-sighted brat beside him!

Don't think that if you praise him a few words, he will look at this kid differently. If he doesn't even grow his hair, he will peep at other people's ladies. Do you really think he is blind? !

snort!

His Majesty the Emperor snorted arrogantly: "You are right, why don't you stay in the imperial capital to serve the country, but you hang out here?"

As soon as these words came out, the boy's face became redder, and even his eye sockets had a tendency to turn red...

On the other side, Wu Xu couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm afraid Mr. Xiaolang is not old enough to enter the university~~" After speaking, Wu Xu tugged Li Zhi's sleeve again, and said softly: "It's getting late..." The lingering sound curled up...

"Cough!" When Li Zhi heard this, he didn't have the desire to 'chat' with others, so he pretended to be serious and replied to Wu Xu: "This son has some knowledge, you can enter Mingtang!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a jade ring from his sleeve, handed it to the young man and said: "You can go to school after holding this object to the deacon of Mingtang in the imperial capital."

The young man was really stunned. Although he had suspected that Wu Xu and his party were nobles from the imperial capital before, he didn't want the other party to take out a piece of jade and let him enter the Ming Hall to study!

Is it...

Although he felt a little unbelievable, the young man took Li Zhi's jade ring calmly, and thanked him calmly!

If the two people in front of him are really the two people he thought of, they probably don't want others to reveal their identities!

The young man suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked: "I don't know where my husband and wife are going next, I am not talented, I would like to be a guide!"

Li Zhi squinted at him, and said: "There is no need for a guide, you should hurry up to the imperial capital, if my guess is right, we will start Enke soon!" The fox must be instigating Erlang to recruit more young talents into the court (to be coolies), and it happens to be able to take advantage of the Dongfeng newly established in the East Palace to fill the Hongwen Museum and train a new team in the East Palace...

The baby in front of me is a good seedling!

Seeing Li Zhi's calculating face, Wu Xu couldn't bear to look directly at him, so she could only persuade the young man to return to Chang'an quickly, so as not to miss the opportunity.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then turned his horse's head, and after walking several zhang, he finally remembered that he hadn't informed Wu Xu of his name.

"Kid Song Jing, I don't dare to ask the two of you..." Erkang held his hand.

On that side, Li Zhi had already clamped his horse's belly, and left without looking back.

Wu Xu thought the boy's name was familiar, but she didn't take it to heart. She didn't realize it until the rest of the night: Fuck it!That kid can't be that Song Jing, right? !

Randomly meeting a young man on the road who is the name of the future, Wu Xu felt that his luck was really against the sky!

However, if she didn't have this kind of luck, how could she have made it to where she is today?

Wu Xu looked at Li Xiaojiu, who was no longer young beside her, and suddenly felt that it was not so much her luck against the sky, but rather his perseverance that made her who she is today, the Tang Dynasty today!
