Recently, Luoyang's government and the streets and alleys were discussing the same thing, and it soon became a buzz. That is, Princess Taiping once again explained to the people of the Tang Dynasty, what is "popularity in the world".

The cause of the incident was not worth mentioning at first, that is, Princess Taiping wanted to borrow it for Jinguyuan. As for what she used for, she didn't need to explain to anyone. It would be very low-key that the princess of the Tang Dynasty could take the initiative to ask the court for such a thing.

The officials in charge of the Jingu Garden naturally agreed immediately in fear and trepidation, and also took the initiative to send officials and craftsmen to clean and clean the Jingu Garden. However, the emperor Li Dan, who lived in the side hall, didn't know how he knew about this, so he went to see Wu Zetian and asked Wu Zetian in the form of "family chatting", saying that since the Taiping Emperor's sister liked Jingu Garden, it would be better to give it to her.b``````````r />

Although they are both children of Wu Zetian, Li Dan and his brothers are far less close than Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian. Li Dan's request was obviously showing weakness and pleasing his mother and sister.

Wu Zetian was probably quite satisfied with Li Dan's attitude, so he said that since the emperor's golden mouth had already opened, he had to do so.

In this way, the ancient monuments of the Western Jin Dynasty, which were originally owned by the Tang Dynasty and the famous Jingjingu Garden in Luoyang, have since been attributed to Princess Taiping's private name.

In fact, it is not surprising that Princess Taiping is rewarded. What really attracts everyone's attention is that since she got married, Princess Taiping has only given birth to children and takes care of her husband and children, and has never appeared in public. This time she "borrowed" to Jinguyuan to hold a tail-burning banquet for the new Luoyang Order Wei Yuanzhong. This was an event with a strong political color. Now, with the support of Wu Zetian and the emperor, the people in the court and the country can't help but think that the first princess of the Tang Dynasty will appear in the political arena from now on?

The tail-burning banquet in Jingu Garden was unprecedentedly grand.

Originally, with Wei Yuanzhong's qualifications, prestige and official rank, there would not be so many people to come to the meeting. Even if he was a prestigious upstart in the court, it would not be enough to alarm many powerful people of the level of prime ministers and royal relatives. As a result, on the day of the tail banquet, all the highest officials of the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers of the central Tang Dynasty and the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall came. As well as the royal relatives of the Li family and the sons and nephews of the Wu family, they also came.

Since Wu Zetian and Li Dan are all working together to support each other, all officials in Luoyang have to appreciate their faces, otherwise wouldn’t they give the queen mother and the emperor face?

This banquet obviously surpassed the "tail-burning banquet" itself and then evolved into a political exchange meeting.

Although he was mentally prepared, Wei Yuanzhong was still shocked. Although he had seen many big scenes, such a thing was really the first experience. In the end, Wei Yuanzhong was of course very popular with this. From then on, he, the Luoyang Order, was known to everyone, and his reputation resounded throughout Luoyang.

But the one who really benefits the most is Princess Taiping.

When the imperial court moved the capital, everything was renewed. A banquet in Jingu Garden made Princess Taiping, who had been retreating behind Xue Shao, transformed into a sensational figure in Luoyang and the new court.

After the tail-cooked banquet, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping both entered the palace to thank him. The emperor Li Dan, who lived in the side hall, was useless and had no power or even had much personal freedom, but he still had the power to invite his family to have a meal.

So Xue Shao and Princess Taiping attended this "family dinner" with Wu Zetian.

Li Dan's first wife, Liu, is now the queen. She brought her five or six-year-old crown prince Li Chengqi to attend the family banquet. At the same time, there were several other concubines of Li Dan.

There was nothing to mention in the banquet itself. With Wu Zetian present, Li Dan and his queen and concubines were all trembling. Rather than saying that they were being tried, they were being tried.

But two people caught Xue Shao's attention, the first one was the Crown Prince Li Chengqi.

Xue Shao clearly remembers Li Chengqi in history. As Li Dan's eldest son, he should have inherited the throne the most, but he became the famous "Emperor" in the history of the Tang Dynasty. The reason is of course because he had a younger brother who was even more famous in history, Li Longji, the Emperor Ming of Tang.

This family dinner also made Xue Shao "see" Li Longji. However, now he is still in the belly of his mother Dou Defei, and he is about to be born in October.

There is one thing that Xue Shao could not forget. The Taiping Princess in history died at the hands of her good nephew Li Longji. At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er also died under Li Longji's knife!

Seeing Li Dan's family, Xue Shao had no reason not to think of these things. Therefore, Xue Shao was a little upset when he ate this meal.

Wu Zetian was obviously aware of Xue Shao's emotional changes, so she took advantage of the fact that Xue Shao came to toast her and said, "Why are you worried?"

Xue Shao said that there have been many things recently, and it took a lot of effort to change the flag and change the flag, but the progress is still slow, so he feels a little tired.

Wu Zetian didn't ask more questions, but seemed to ask casually, "You just came back from Chang'an. What's the situation in Xijing?"

Xue Shao felt a little shocked: This question is strange about how the situation in Xijing is. Is it because she is so boundless? Could it be that she has other words?

"Xijing... Everything is like yesterday." So Xue Shao also answered endlessly.

"The old prime minister Liu Rengui who left behind has gone, how can everything be like yesterday?" Wu Zetian said, "Recently, our palace is selecting a minister to replace Liu Rengui to take charge of the new Xijing left behind. What do you think of your brother, Xue Yan?"

Xue Shao suddenly woke up and realized that this was not good!

The candidates who stay in Xijing must at least be at the level of prime minister, either with high status and high power or with high moral character in the court. Therefore, it is not the turn of Xue Yan, the young master of the Siong who has just gained a foothold in the court for a short time.

Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!

Xue Shao had already fully heard the implicit sound of Wu Zetian, and she must have known something!

"Empress Dowager, I think my brother is not qualified and serves as the left-behind Xijing." Xue Shao said, "In fact, I hope that Sinong Temple and Imperial College can move to Shendu earlier. In this way, my brother and my son can also move to Luoyang together, and our family can be reunited."

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, as if he was quite satisfied with Xue Shao's answer. Because Xue Shao's words expressed several meanings, one is that Xue Yan's humble words are not enough to accomplish anything; the other is that Xue Yan does not want to stay in Chang'an alone, so as not to be harassed by Li Wen and others again. After moving to Luoyang, Xue Shao himself can "supervise" him.

Although it was an understatement of the words and words, Wu Zetian asked about Xue Shao's attitude, and Xue Shao vaguely saw the sword and sword shadow hidden in it.

After the family dinner, Princess Taiping acted coquettishly next to Wu Zetian as she was when she was a child, and threatened to go to bed with her mother tonight. Although Wu Zetian did not agree, she took advantage of the situation and invited Xue Shao and Princess Taiping to the palace where she lived, saying that she would talk more about family matters with Taiping.

Xue Shao couldn't know in his heart that his mother-in-law, who was as meticulous as she was, was waiting for her to take the initiative to explain the reason for everything. If she missed the wedge machine now, it would undoubtedly be that there was a ghost in her heart who deliberately concealed it. When she spoke out or asked someone else to expose it, she and her elder brother would have fallen into her crotch and could not argue!

Once when Li Zhi was alive, the two saints usually lived in the Zhenguan Hall when they came to Luoyang. After moving the capital to Luoyang this time, Wu Zetian did not live in the Zhenguan Hall for a day, but chose Yingxian Palace on the west side of the Zhenguan Hall and moved into Jixian Hall.

Inside and outside the Yingxian Palace, thousands of cavalry guarded them.

As more and more power was concentrated in Wu Zetian's hands, the status and role of Qianqi became increasingly greater. This private guard, which was once formed by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and was only responsible for accompanying the emperor to hunt, has now evolved into the most important palace armed forces.

When accompanying Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian into Yingxian Palace, Xue Shao paid special attention to the Thousand Cavalry guards, none of them knew him. It seems that some of the "good news" he heard before was true, that is, since the last time he took Cheng Wuting to the palace to meet, the Thousand Cavalry once again carried out an internal purge. It is estimated that now, the team of thousands of people closest to the emperor is already all loyal to the Wu family, and they can no longer find the subordinates he brought when he pacified Bai Tieyu.

At this time, Xue Shao had to think of the Yulin Army guarding the palace. Qianqi was the closest guard to Wu Zetian, and the Yulin Army was the main force to defend the imperial court and the royal family unit with the ability to fight the expedition. In recent years, the court has been in constant turmoil. Wu Zetian expanded the Yulin Army several times, and the number of people has been upgraded from the previous total of about 6,000 to the left and right Yulin Guards, which together happened to be the same as the "army", with 12,500 people.

Although there are now a general Li Duozuo and Zhang Qianxu in the left and right Yulin Guards, the two guards are in one, and Li Duozuo is the actual supreme commander of the Yulin Army.

"Once the political situation changes, the Yulin Army and Qianqi have the ability to determine the outcome and turn the world around!" Xue Shao thought of this, and suddenly his heart contracted. Why should I think of this?...Okay, no matter what, it is a good thing for me to be able to serve as the supreme commander of the Yulin Army. But now the Wu family's nephews are rising one after another, and their power is rapidly expanding. They cannot have thought of taking away Li Duozuo, an annoying guy, and instead they will take over the Yulin Army themselves, the most valuable royal family unit.

"I must stop this. Similar characters include the Luoyang Order Wei Yuanzhong, the acting chief of the Xiazhou Governor's Office, and Liu Youqiu, the main generals of the Shuofang Army, cannot move!" Xue Shao could only secretly conspire in his heart.
