Chapter 77 Another kill!
Sandalwood lingers, and the Zen noise becomes quieter. Shangguan Wan'er stands quietly at the door of Guanfeng Hall.
Several palace maids bowed their heads from Guanfeng Hall with pale faces and saw Shangguan Wan'er bowing their heads and saying, "Shangguan Guan Guan Yuzhao!"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly, and there was no expression on her delicate and picturesque facial features. She had already put on her red official uniform and a squid head. Without the jump on the court, she became soft and quiet, and her temperament was capable and confident.
"Is the queen in a bad mood again?" Shangguan Wan'er said.
"Well! The queen eats very little in the afternoon and is always depressed!"
"You guys go down, I'll go and have a look!" Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked into the hall. Wu Zetian was sitting upright on the dragon couch, pillowing her cheeks with her hands, as if she had fallen asleep.
Shangguan Wan'er walked over and fanned her several times. Wu opened her eyes and Shangguan Wan'er said, "The Queen, the heat is so hot, why don't the palace servants come and fan?"
Wu sighed softly and said, "These girls, like raw cucumbers, let them serve me with my liver fire. It's better to blow them out, so my heart is calm and naturally cool."
Wu paused and said, "It's not yet the hottest time of the year, and the weather is so hot. I'm afraid there will be another severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and the people are suffering! I am worried about them, but I can't do anything about it!"
Shangguan Wan'er shut up and said nothing. She would never answer this casually. What should the court do if there is a severe drought in the world? Of course, the emperor wanted to personally lead all civil and military officials to ask for rain to demonstrate the emperor's benevolence.
Wu was worried about the severe drought and was concerned about the people. If she was the emperor, she would naturally lead all civil and military officials to pray for rain and pray for God to give her a bumper harvest. But now she is not the emperor!
In a very simple sentence, there are so many connotations in it. How could Shangguan Wan'er easily answer such words?
Fortunately, Wu did not expect Shangguan Wan'er to speak. In fact, the reason why she valued Shangguan Wan'er was that this woman was mature and extremely smart, knew how to figure out her thoughts, and knew how to grasp her position.
Shangguan Wan'er can always grasp what can be said, what can't be said, when to speak, and when to shut up. This is why Wu'er cannot leave Shangguan Wan'er.
"Wan'er, what do you think they are going to let me do? Liu Zhi is bold and unscrupulous! So many things happened to the Jinwu Guard, and he was so bold that he beat and smashed the Jinwu Guard and cut off all the clues! The case of so many generals who died in the Jinwu Guard turned into a headless case, which is really outrageous!
What makes people even more angry is that my edict is useless. I blame him, but he actually said that I have not passed through the Luantai Fengge. What is the use of my will? It's so tolerant, who is unbearable!"
Wu Zetian was furious, but Shangguan Wan'er was watching silence for Liu Zhizhi. The prime minister was over again and could not save his life.
Wu Zetian said about the matter of Jinwuwei, but that was purely just an excuse. The key was that Liu Zhizhi or did not support Wu Zetian ascend the throne.
This is what political things are. We always have to try repeatedly through various means. Each test can weaken the enemy and eliminate it. We must slowly eliminate all the enemies.
The process is very slow and long, but Wu Zetian walked very steadily, step by step to today, and at this point, the time to solve Liu Zhi finally came.
"Queen Tian, you have a lot of things to do every day, so it's more important to have a rest! By the way, Wan'er heard that the hall has been built and it is said that it is magnificent. This time, you are good at knowing people!" Shangguan Wan'er said, and he cleverly changed the topic to the Mingtang.
Sure enough, Wu Zetian wiped out the depression just now and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, Master A has just arrived. This time, Master A has made great contributions to the Mingtang. I am considering how to reward him!"
"By the way, Wan'er, tell me, how should I reward Mr. A?"
"Uh..." Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment and said, "Goddess, I'm worried that I can't say it..."
"Haha! There is only me and you here. If you talk about it casually, I will listen to it casually. What's the matter if it doesn't matter? It's not the prelude to the court!"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Report to Your Majesty, Wan'er feels that Master Xue has become a noble minister and is already a great minister. If you go further, you can only be the king!
However, Master Xue is the strongest person. Although he is serious about Buddhism, he still thinks of martial arts. Why don’t Your Majesty give him the title of General of the First Guard?”
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed again, saying, "Good you Wan'er, you are so weird. What did he say when I asked Master A about the reward?
He said that those Turkic barbarians repeatedly invaded our borders, and he wanted to lead an army to the border to pacify the enemy for me. Tell me, are you Wan'er a ghost elf?"
"Ah..." Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Queen, I really don't know about this. But recently I heard rumors outside that Baima Temple was going to fight with the Yulin Army. I wondered if Ah Shi had martial arts..."
"What?" Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, stood up from the collapse, and laughed and said, "The monks from Baima Temple fought with the Yulin Army? This is simply a mess. The Yulin Army is my palace guard army and the most elite in the Tang Dynasty. What are the abilities of those monks in Baima Temple, and can they challenge the Yulin Army?"
Shangguan Wan'er said, "You can't say that. Your Majesty, if you really want to compare archery, horse, riding, shooting, and killing enemies on the battlefield, the monks in White Horse Temple will definitely not work. But it is not certain to fight Ju. The wonders of fight Ju cannot be defeated by brute force. The mystery of it is really hard to describe!"
Wu Zetian completely relaxed and said with a smile: "I know that Wan'er likes Cuju, why? Have you found a way to deal with Taiping? My girl, I follow my temperament and are extremely competitive. If you want to fight with her, you have to think of some way!"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Queen, Wan'er dare not compete with the princess, but Wan'er has recently known a master of Cuju. This person is Yao Chong, a doctor in the Ministry of War. He is not old, but his profound knowledge of Cuju. His knowledge really makes Wan'er amazed!
Wan'er has made great progress in learning from him recently. I feel that if I work harder, I may have some chance!"
Wu Zetian burst into laughter, tears were about to flow out of his eyes. After a while, he said, "Wan'er, Wan'er! You are a good player here and can always reconcile my feelings! But if I ask you to deal with Taiping, it will be obvious that it will be difficult for me!
Did you just talk about Yao Chong? You don’t even think about what the relationship between Taiping and the surname Yao. He just ate the milk of the Yao family!
