All the officials in the Political Affairs Hall retreated one after another. The atmosphere here is too tense today, and they no longer want to stay for a moment.

Wu Zetian walked to Pei Yan and said with a wry smile: "Zilong, why are you trying to show off your impatience with these reckless and fiery generals?"

"The Empress Dowager, as the Secretary of the Tang Dynasty, I need to defend the majesty of the Political Affairs Hall." Pei Yan replied, "I am not targeting anyone. I am just talking about the matter!"

"Okay!" Wu Zetian nodded, "It's hard for you, I have to take more responsibility!"

Pei Yan nodded with a wry smile, "The Empress Dowager is so serious, this is my duty!"

Wu Zetian is gone.

Pei Yan sat down a little tiredly, slowly flipped through the file in his hand, and murmured: "As the Minister of Residents, I don't take it, who will take it?"

...

Xue Shao and his group walked out of the Secretariat and saw Dugu Yizhi and Shazha Zhongyi standing outside waiting.

"You are so majestic, you are acting arrogant in the political affairs hall!" Xue Shao cursed.

Dugu Yizhi and Shazha Zhongyi, who were still vigilant just now, were depressed on the spot, and quickly pleaded with a saliva smile and confessed, "General, we are wrong! We will punish you whatever we should do. As long as we don't beat you to death or get disabled, let us keep our useful bodies to kill the enemy, it's fine!"

"Go back and deal with you again!" Xue Shao glared at the two of them fiercely and said again, "Brothers, remember not to spread gossip everywhere and not to shake the morale of the army."

"Yes!" All the generals agreed.

Xue Shao nodded and said, "The court gave relatively few troops and supplies this time. But the supplies are dead and the people are alive. The court does not give us a solution. Since the court treats me so harshly, they have nothing to blame at that time!"

When the generals heard this, they all smiled tacitly, their eyes lit up, very bright!

Xue Shao smiled, "If there are too many, there is no need to say it now. Let's go back and do your own job!"

"yes!"

All the generals dispersed, and Xue Shao did not rush to leave. He was waiting for someone, and he knew that the person would definitely be looking for him.

Sure enough, not long after, an eunuch found the gate of the Secretariat and invited Xue Shao to the life-wife's house not far from here.

Wu Zetian is waiting for Xue Shao here.

"Cheng Yu, are you a little impulsive today?" When we met Wu Zetian, we didn't say nonsense and said bluntly: "The arrangements made by the court have their own principles. How can you contradict Pei Yan like in the Political Affairs Hall?"

"The Empress Dowager clearly understands that I did not intend to target Xianggong Pei," said Xue Shao. "The same rice raises hundreds of people, and everyone has different thoughts. I have 200,000 troops and 200,000 strong-willed men. Stabilizing the morale of the army is my primary priority. The sudden arrangement of the court made such a plan can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. Therefore, I have to ask in person."

"I also know that you are out of public intention, but you should pay more attention to your words and attitudes. After all, Pei Yan is now a minister and the chief prime minister. The prime minister, the ministers avoid the Tao and polite all the officials, so you might as well take care of his face more." Wu Zetian persuaded him patiently, no longer the kind of "learning" tone when Xue Shao entered the officialdom.

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true, I remember it." Xue Shao bowed.

"These small things are stopped." Wu Zetian changed the subject and said, "Peace is about to be born, but you are about to go to war again. You must comfort her with great care."

"I will do my best!" Xue Shao just said so.

"As I leave, I still said the same thing." Wu Zetian straightened her face, "I guarantee you no worries. You just fight in front of you and make achievements!"

"My dear, thank you!"

After talking for a long time, only this sentence was heard by Xue Shao.

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "There is another small thing. Do you still remember Zhang Renyuan, the censor in the palace?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" Xue Shao asked.

"Last time when Mr. Pei was about to go to war, he promised to take him to war with him. However, in a few days, Mr. Pei passed away and the army's western expedition was abandoned. Zhang Renyuan did not fulfill his wish to join the army, and he was still the Censor of the Palace." Wu Zetian said, "I believe that since Mr. Pei had promises during his lifetime, why don't you fulfill Zhang Renyuan and take him to war with him?"

"The Empress Dowager's golden mouth has been opened, and it is the last wish left by Mr. Pei, and I have no choice but to do so!" Xue Shao said, "In addition, I also believe that although Zhang Renyuan is a civil servant, he is indeed talented in military and military affairs. I am willing to take him to the war with him. Perhaps, he will become a famous general in the future of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's great." Wu Zetian nodded and smiled, "Then I will make arrangements to let him walk with you as a censor. When he becomes familiar with the battle formation and makes military achievements on the front line, the court will change his position as military officer at his discretion."

"good."

"The army is about to go to war, so I won't keep you for a lot of military affairs." Wu Zetian said, "Remember, you must always be guaranteed and you will not be able to lose any mistakes!"

"Thank you for your concern!...I'm going!"

Xue Shao is gone.

Wu Zetian let out a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows couldn't stretch.

Pei Yan and Xue Shao are like right-hand men to Wu Zetian. But this general seems to be born with inseparable harmony, which not only makes Wu Zetian headache and secretly makes Wu Zetian feel happy.

Wu Zetian dared not take it lightly at all when she was in the center to control and reconcile the contradictions.

...

Xue Shao left the palace and went home directly.

Although there are so many military affairs waiting for him, Xue Shao felt that the most important thing he should do at this time was to accompany Princess Taiping.

It was almost lunch time, and Princess Taiping was still sleeping.

Xue Shao walked into the room lightly, lay down beside the bed and looked at Princess Taiping quietly.

She slept sideways, putting her right hand softly on one side of her thighs, and the palm of her other hand was stroking her cheeks.

Even when she fell asleep, her gracefulness and luxury were so natural and impeccable.

There was a slight slight slight provocation on the corner of her mouth on the left, outlining a playful and witty smile that belongs to Princess Taiping.

Looking at her quietly, Xue Shao couldn't help but show a warm and satisfied smile, and his thoughts flowed out quietly like flowing water... This is my wife, another companion in my life. In her belly, with the continuation of my life. If I can accompany her with her carefree and worry-free until I grow old, I will have no regrets in my life!

Unfortunately, our future will face an unavoidable misfortune. It is like the fate that God has punished us. I have no other way except to fight desperately!

Sorry, An Ran... When you need me the most, I want to leave you again!

"Xue Lang, our baby is about to be born." Princess Taiping suddenly spoke.

Xue Shao was slightly stunned. Are you awake?

After a closer look, she was still not awake. She was talking in her sleep.

"Don't leave..."

The murmuring of the three words "Princess Taiping" made Xue Shao tremble all over his body.
