Wu Zetian took the list transferred by the internal official and did not look at it. She directly asked how many officials of the Li Party or those close to him on the list. This question made Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing next to him, and Lu Yuanfang also looked up in shock, "Is it the king's ministers in the territory? All the civil and military officials in the court are all ministers of Your Majesty. I really don't know what the Wu Party and the Li Party are."

In fact, Wu Zetian knew that he had said the wrong thing as soon as he said it. Although party struggles have been endless in all dynasties, some have looser gangs and some have closer connections, it is a normal thing for officials to join forces. Even in many cases, the emperor is happy to see this in order to grasp the balance in the middle. However, is it the same thing? What others say is the same? For the emperor, even if he knows that there is a party in the court, he must not speak out.

The identity of the emperor is too special. When such words are said inappropriately, they will show the division of the imperial court in front of the subjects of the world. This move will greatly affect the majesty of the imperial court and the emperor. There are many things in this world that cannot be clearly stated even if they exist. For the emperor, party struggles belong to one of them.

Seeing that he was wrong, Lu Yuanfang immediately grabbed him tightly. Wu Zetian, who had been quite unhappy recently, was furious, but looking at Lu Yuanfang's fearless standing posture in front of the imperial case, he was just over 60 years old and no longer looked at a trace of black hair, and finally slowly suppressed his anger and said softly: "Lu Aiqing, it's me that I have lost my words. However, you should know my intentions, and I want you to tell the truth."

Lu Yuanfang has been in charge of the selection of officials of the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and he is careful and diligent, so he is actually a professional official chart of the current dynasty. He cannot be well aware of the details of the officials involved in this list of Tang Song. However, there is no problem with grasping the overall situation from a broad perspective. Wu Zetian grabbed him and asked, and it was indeed the right person. She also knew that as long as people like Lu Yuanfang were willing to speak in front of her, the emperor, they would definitely not tell lies.

"In my opinion, about one-quarter of the officials who supported Si Li on Tang Song's list were supported. One-quarter of the people who supported Si Wu, and the rest of the people who looked at it was not clear about Wu Li."

After saying this dryly, Lu Yuanfang's originally straight body was hunched over. The man sighed in Yaoguang Hall in an extremely unruly manner, "I think I am old and will be unable to bear my life. I am the emperor, the court, and the people of the world cherish their talents. So this act of slapping Tang Song and helping me grow. Who knew that it caused suspicion between the king and the minister, and this was all the crime of the minister."

Lu Yuanfang's old and hoarse voice echoed gently in Yaoguang Hall, and it sounded faintly regretful and infinite fatigue. Wu Zetian had never seen him look like this before. "Lu Aiqing, you..."

"Your Majesty" Lu Yuanfang slowly bowed to the ground, "I say frankly that if the old ministers in the court are both moral and talented, they think Di Gong Renjie is the first. They have no choice but to fight with the party and go far away to the world. The rest are all judged by the political affairs of the prime ministers, and Cui Yuanzong is the first, and now they are silent. The rest are like Zhang Jianzhi, Huan Yanfan and others, all fall into the quagmire of the party dispute between Wu and Li. Once again, Yao Chong, Song Jing and others are all talented in the country, and they are also difficult to advance for the same reason, and they cannot fully display their talents."

"I have been in office for decades. I have been in charge of the selection of matters for many years because of your trust. I have not intended to talk about party disputes, but I am well aware of the key to governing the country. It is easy to get a mediocre official, but it is difficult to choose a talented person. It is even more difficult to choose a talented person like Di Gong Renjie, Yao and Song people. I ask Your Majesty to cherish your talents for the country."

Lu Yuanfang said this very sincerely, and what he said was the root of trouble because of the evaluation of the other party's current political affairs. However, this showed his sincere loyalty. Even Wu Zetian could not help but be moved by this old minister and helped Lu Yuanfang up with his own hands. "I have known you for a long time. I have recorded your words. However, today I just want to discuss Tang Song with you. What are you doing? If you want to say these words, are you still afraid that I will not listen?"

For some reason, Lu Yuanfang, who has always been known as "cold face", was indeed moved today, but he didn't say anything, and grabbed Wu Zetian's words and continued: "Tang Song is very rude to act. However, he is indomitable and tenacious by nature, and can not be moved by wealth and the world's ridicule. What's more praiseworthy is that his knowledge is far superior to his peers, which allows him to look at the overall situation every time he encounters things and not be restricted by every matter. If such people can be hard-working, the future will be expected. How difficult is it to choose a talented person! I'm asking Your Majesty to cherish his talents for the country."

After saying that, Lu Yuanfang, who had just stood up, made a gesture and wanted to bow down again, but was stopped by Wu Zetian.

After a slight sigh, Wu Zetian turned around and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Puzhi, you go to Tang Song's house in person. Ask him in person: 'The woman who always accompanies him is Zhang Jian's granddaughter? Can they have a marriage contract? Have they ever been married? If they have no marriage contract and have never gotten married, they have blocked their ministers' families and scattered around the market, what is he trying to do?'"

The reason why Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with Tang Song over the past few days is that it is here!

Wu Zetian's tone was extremely harsh, but Shangguan Wan'er's tense thoughts these days have been relaxed a lot.

She knew Wu Zetian's temperament well. If she was dissatisfied with someone, she would not say anything but the most dangerous thing, because once she finally spoke, she would make a decision. Whenever she made such a decision, it would be extremely light for a long time, and she would kill her home at any time. On the contrary, if she was willing to ask first like today, the problem was often not too big, and it was even very likely that she would escape unstoppable. What's more, there was a most respected minister who was spared no effort to speak good things for Tang Song.

"My daughter obeys the order" Shangguan Wan'er left the palace all the way and inexplicably thought of Lu Yuanfang's performance today. For some reason, some ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Shangguan Wan'er, under the protection of four imperial guards, arrived at Tang Song's house, but did not see anyone. After asking the doorman, she found out that because the Xiangzhou family came to Beijing, they happened to run into some friends from the imperial guards. After Tang Song settled down his family, he led the imperial guards generals to the Songwu Shengping Tower to drink.

The leader of the accompanying imperial guards saw the gatekeeper saying this and seemed a little stunned. He leaned forward slightly and asked for instructions softly: "Attack, let's go to the Song and Dance Shengping Building?"

"You guys wait here. I'll come out immediately after I go in." Without waiting for the leader of the imperial guard to say more, Shangguan Wan'er handed the reins to him and walked in directly. The gatekeeper Lao Pang didn't dare to stop them when he saw them.

After Shangguan Wan'er entered the door, she walked straight to the main room of the second courtyard. There were a few passing girls and servants looking at her in shock. She just said that she hadn't seen her.

After passing the gate of the second courtyard, I was walking across from Shangguan Jin. When I saw it was her, I was stunned and came up in surprise.

"How is Shangguan Ming's injury?"

"It's much better, I'll be able to stay and try to walk around in another half a month."

"Okay! I'll send some nourishing items tomorrow." Shangguan Wan'er paused while walking and his voice lowered a little, "Tang Song's family in Xiangzhou has arrived?"

"Well, his family is not prosperous. There is only one father and one sister, and they are all here this time. Now they are in the main house."

Shangguan Wan'er stopped asking, and Shangguan Jin didn't talk anymore, and accompanied her to the steps in front of the main room. First, he heard a burst of chattering.

In the main room, Liu Ye was holding Tang Yuan's hand and talking about some things after Tang Song entered Beijing. Mr. Tang still looked nerdy. He was a little clumsy and didn't say anything. He held a tea cup and listened to the two of them. Although he had an expression of indifferent care on his face, he actually listened very seriously. Especially when he heard the description of Tang Song's reputation, the wrinkles on his face were piled up uncontrollably.

Tang Song's experience since he entered Beijing was already ups and downs, and Liu Ye gave him a speech. This statement was really a lotus flower and he was having fun. Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw two people walking into the door. When he saw the face of the man before, Liu Ye's tongue suddenly froze, and the chirping sound suddenly became stuck.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and nodded at her, then went directly to Mr. Tang to salute, and said with a smile: "I have heard from Tang Song many times, but I don't want to see my uncle until today. Shangguan Wan'er paid a visit. Xiangzhou has been in trouble all the way to Beijing, and his uncle has suffered."

Before Tang Song traveled through time, Tang Daren was just a poor scholar in Xiangzhou who had been struggling for half his life, and a nerd with verbal character. When he saw Shangguan Wan'er, who was more beautiful than Hua and noble, he was immediately intimidated by Shangguan Wan'er's powerful aura. After bowing back, he was speechless.

Shangguan Wan'er was in a hurry, so after the reception, she did not greet Tang Daren any more, and turned around and walked to Tang Yuan.

Shangguan Wan'er took Tang Yuan's hand, took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Tang Yuan's hand, and said kindly with a bright smile: "Tang Song is such a blessing. There is such a beautiful sister. I am really in a hurry today and I have not prepared any gifts for meeting. I will send some powder and silk to someone tomorrow and I hope my sister will not be disgusted. The emperor dares not delay it. I will come to find my sister when I have time to free another day."

After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er pulled Tang Yuan's hand intimately, smiled at her, then turned around and bowed to Tang Darenfu, and then left the room.

It was not until she had reached the door of the yard that the three people in the main room woke up. Liu Ye slapped his knees with his hands and slapped, "Master, sister, the one I just came here is Shangguan Kaizhao I just mentioned. Guest, a great distinguished guest, you should go and send it off quickly."

"Ah" Tang Yuan, who was so gentle and kind that he was a little cowardly, stepped forward a few steps to help Tang Daren, who was trembling, and rushed out quickly because his mind had not recovered yet, and he walked too fast, and he almost tripped by the threshold when he left the door of the main room.

When his father and daughter rushed to the door of the mansion in a hurry, they could only see Shangguan Wan'er's back as she was escorting the imperial guards.

Watching the back fade away, Tang Daren was futile and then slapped his thigh hard and cursed with hatred: "This little bastard doesn't tell me about his friends with the 'Poetry Scale'. I'll just make me rude today. I'll disobey my son, disobedient! I'll be ashamed and angry as I'll be!"

Shangguan Wan'er rode her horse straight to the Song and Dance Shengping Tower. An imperial guard came forward and found Tang Song and others directly.

The Song and Dance Shengping Building covers a large area, with exquisite small buildings hidden in the green trees. Each small building is divided into rooms of different sizes, and Tang Song and a group of imperial guards are among them.

When there were dozens of steps away from Huayue Tower, a noise suddenly came from the second floor where only the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo were heard, followed by crackling sounds, mixed with the loud shouts of many people.

Shangguan Wan'er speeded up. When she was about to walk downstairs, a window on the second floor of Huayue Tower was suddenly pushed open. Then she saw half of her body being pushed out of the window. Another person behind her was whispering his old fist and pounding his head.

At that time, it was already dark, and the moonlight as water as the light of the lantern was shrouded on the face of the person who was beaten. Shangguan Wan'er looked up and saw clearly. Isn't this person who was pushed out half of his body and beaten up?

Tang Song was in good health, but his foundation was still weak. It was really painful to encounter such a violent beating again. While grinning and struggling desperately, he suddenly looked at Shangguan Wan'er below. This scene... It really makes people feel so affectionate to a man!

Although they were still beaten, Tang Song stopped screaming since he saw Shangguan Wan'er. His originally grinning face quickly returned to normal, but there was a layer of redness on his face, not sure whether it was because of the pain or the embarrassment.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er actually stopped.

"Appointment?"

"I actually ran to the brothel fireworks and fought with people. Hey, so majestic and so grand, let them fight!"

Shangguan Wan'er's words tasted strange and her voice was really big. Tang Song, who had half of his body pushed out of the window, heard it clearly. The redness on his face suddenly increased tens of times. He shook the wine cup that was still holding himself in his hand. His whole body actually rose up. Then he heard a muffled sound of "peng". The wine cup hit the head of the person behind him, and the porcelain pieces of wine flew around.

After this smack, Tang Song's body retracted into the window. At the same time, the noise on the second floor became louder, and the crackling sound became more and more intense.

The four imperial guards protected Shangguan Wan'er to the second floor, and the scene was in chaos. Tang Song and his group were fighting with another group. The number of people on Tang Song's side was obviously smaller. Most of the other side were wearing servants, but the combat effectiveness was much worse. Both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was difficult to decide the winner for a while. It was just a pity that the entire second floor had been smashed beyond recognition in this short period of time.

Shangguan Wan'er just looked at Tang Song. Perhaps inspired by the past, he no longer fought with others. He held a top-quality white porcelain wine cup made in the execution kiln in each hand, wandering around the crowd. Every time he was punched and kicked, the wine cup in his hand suddenly swung it up.

At this moment, he still has a little bit of a vile and beautiful demeanor?

For some reason, after watching for a while, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel like she wanted to laugh, but her face finally became tense and she "separated"

Hearing this, the four imperial guards answered "Oh" together, then took off their swords from their waists and rushed into the field.

The four of them slapped all the way with their scabbards, and the imperial guards who came with Tang Song took the initiative to stop. The other party didn't want to stop and was quickly shot. The four of them slashed with each other, and with their fierce murderous aura, they actually spread the fight and controlled the situation in a very short time.
