Penglai Palace.

Wu Zetian was lying on the soft couch, and Tang Xianyouxian was kneeling on Wu Zetian's waist with his legs apart, and was pinching Wu Zetian's shoulders with a pair of strong and powerful hands rubbed from his back.

Tang Xianyou's technique is very professional.

It made Wu Zetian very comfortable.

Seeing Wu Zetian's face full of enjoyment,

Tang Xianyou couldn't help feeling a little drifted in his heart.

"Queen, what's my method?"

Wu Zetian said lightly, "Not bad."

Tang Xianyou struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Would you say something after that day?"

"Okay." Wu Zetian responded casually, "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Or..." Tang Xianyou guessed that Wu Zetian should be in a good mood at this time, so he plucked up his courage and said, "Or the queen would reward a villain with a third-rank official?"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian's body suddenly stiffened.

Seeing Wu Zetian reacting so much, Tang Xianyou's heart was shaking and it was broken.

Then Wu Zetian turned around halfway and shouted: "Get down!"

Tang Xianyou was startled and quickly got out of bed and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Don't calm down!"

Looking at Tang Xianyou with a panic expression, Wu Zetian couldn't help feeling soft. This little man brought joy to men and women that she had never had in her life, igniting her passion.

Wu Zetian has never felt the passion in her body like she is now.

This alone should be rewarded, but third-rank officials will definitely not do it.

Third-rank officials are all important officials in the court. How could Tang Xianyou be competent for it?

Wu Zetian was only fifty-seven years old at this time, and she was still young and strong, not yet old and stupid.

At this moment, Wu Zetian said, "You might as well go to Baima Temple to become a monk. After a while, I will find a way to help you become the abbot of Baima Temple. In this way, you can enter and exit the forbidden garden in the name of chanting scriptures."

"Here!" Although Tang Xianyou didn't want to, he could only agree.

The woman in front of him is the master of the Tang Dynasty, how dare he disobey her?

With a wave of his hand, Wu Zetian summoned Gao Lingsong again: "Eunuch Gao, send him out of the palace."

"Here." Gao Lingsong responded congratulatoryly and said to Tang Xianyou, "Please please, Mr. Tang."

After seeing off Tang Xianyou, Wu Zetian washed his face, cheered up and prepared to review the memorials and handle state affairs.

Since it was found out three days ago that the culprit behind the Taiping kidnapping case was actually the Emperor, Wu Zetian had hardly ever been to the court and had dealt with government affairs.

Last night, I had a night of fun with Tang Xianyou.

However, Wu Zetian was still very strong in willpower, and he quickly restrained himself and focused on handling state affairs.

The current Tang Dynasty, on the surface, looks like a fire-cooking oil, can be regarded as a prosperous scene that has never been seen in ancient times, but Wu Zetian is very clear that it has actually been undercurrents under the prosperous times.

The biggest problem is that land annexation in the north is becoming increasingly serious.

The annexation of land led to the collapse of the military system of the government, which not only shook the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's military power, but also caused the north to fall into a serious food crisis.

The wealthy Guanzhong is actually famine every year!

But this problem is extremely difficult to deal with.

Because the one who annexed the land is either someone else or the major aristocratic races.

It is difficult for these aristocratic races to spit out the land.

What's more, these aristocratic races were allies of her. They had helped her defeat the upstarts led by Changsun Wuji, and had also helped her win the power battle with the Emperor.

Therefore, Wu Zetian was also at a loss for the food crisis in the north.

In addition to the food crises in various northern regions, there are also constant border troubles.

After more than fifty years of expansion, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded to an unprecedented level.

However, with the great expansion of the country, the Tang Dynasty had to face more and more enemies. At the beginning of its founding, the Tang Dynasty had to concentrate on dealing with the Eastern Turks, but now it had to face endless invasions from hundreds of countries and tribes.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these countries or tribes is often very strong, and it often hurts the Tang army severely.

For example, in the battle between Tubo and Dafeichuan, the famous general Xue Rengui suffered a crushing defeat, losing tens of thousands of troops!

For example, the Turks surrendered and rebelled again, and rebelled again and again, which involved a large amount of manpower and material resources of the Tang Dynasty. The western and northern borders were like two huge black holes, which frantically devoured the Tang Dynasty's money, food and military power.

In recent years, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has obviously been unable to support it.

More often, Wu Zetian felt like a papermaker, desperately trying to paper a crumbling building, but she knew that if she did not undergo a thorough renovation, the building would collapse one day.

Maybe it's time to make a thorough repair of the Tang Dynasty and the time is ripe, isn't it?

But repair is not reconstruction after all, so it is not necessary to push it back and start over, but to start over from the local area. So where should we start?

The system of the government troops? Or the Guanlong clan?

Just as Wu Zetian was in deep thought, suddenly the sound of footsteps sounded.

Wu Zetian's beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned. She hated being disturbed when considering problems the most.

"Who..." Wu Zetian subconsciously wanted to scold him, but after only half of the sentence, he swallowed the second half again, because it was not someone else who came in, but her precious daughter, her heart was the sharp princess Taiping!

"Taiping? Didn't you go to find Pei Shaoqing?" Wu Zetian said, "Why are you back?"

"My daughter didn't go to find him." Princess Taiping snorted, "My daughter was just frustrated in the Lingqi Palace, so she wanted to go out for some breath."

"Breathable?" Wu Zetian was stunned.

"Yeah." Princess Taiping said, "Now that I'm finished breathing, I'll come back to accompany my mother."

While saying that Princess Taiping sat next to Wu Zetian, helped Wu Zetian open a memorial, and said with a smile: "My grandma, I'll read it for you."

"Yingzhou Governor Li Wen-hung."

"About the mutual attacks between Khitan and Xi."

"Last winter, the Songs and Desert were very cold and snowy, and the cattle and sheep were frozen to death."

"Li Guge, the chief of the Eight Khitan Alliance, led a hundred thousand troops to invade the Raole Governor's Office in the south."

"Xi, the Khitan attacked each other for more than three months, and the dead and wounded Ji Zheng. When the Yingzhou army arrived, Li Guge then led his army back to Songmo and condemned the envoys to Yingzhou for food and disaster relief."

As she was reciting, Princess Taiping's tone suddenly changed.

Tears were like pearls that were riddled.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but be surprised and said, "My heart, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah my grandmother." Princess Taiping rushed into Wu Zetian's arms and began to sob.

"Don't cry, baby, as soon as you cry, my mother's heart is broken." Wu Zetian patted Princess Taiping's shoulder as she was when she was a child, and then shouted again, "Is this dog Pei Shaoqing bullying you?"

"No, he didn't bully me." Princess Taiping shook her head, "I haven't seen him before."

After a pause, Princess Taiping said in a crying voice: "My daughter never wants to see him again in her life."

"You are so sad that you didn't bully you." Wu Zetian was furious and shouted sternly, "Eunuch Gao, Xuan Pei Shaoqing, this dog is here to meet him. Listen, don't change a word!"
