Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 677 Infernal Affairs ([-])

Republic 470 Spring (680)
It was not a big deal for a talented person to be reused by the Empress Dowager.

Now that the Emperor is ill in bed, the power of the government is in the hands of the Queen, who can use whomever she wants.

However, this talented man is the queen of sinners.

"Wan'er, practice ink."

"Hmm~"

Shangguan Wan'er, who is already 16 years old, studies ink for Tianhou, and she writes down every word that Tianhou says on paper.

Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguanyi, accidentally got involved in the quarrel between the emperor and the empress, and was finally angered by the empress and sentenced to death in prison.

After the empress reconciled as before, the two regretted their actions, so they exonerated Shangguan Waner, the granddaughter of Shangguanyi, and sent her to the palace to serve the emperor.

Faced with the enemy who killed her grandfather and father, Shangguan Wan'er did not show any hatred, but was very respectful to the Queen of Heaven.

"Call...enjoy peace!"

The Queen of Heaven issued a decree to make peace with Zhou Guo in Xueyu, and then appointed generals and commanders to go to the grassland to suppress the Turkic rebellion.

The beginning of this year’s spring was an eventful one, with the marriage of the Zhou Kingdom, the Turkic rebellion, the Khitan’s Kumoxi and the Yan people’s looting, the locust plague in Henan, and so on.

In particular, the locust plague in Henan led to the failure of food harvests, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death, and the tragic situation of cannibalism has appeared in various counties and counties in Henan.

Since the Tang Dynasty unified the world, there was only one major famine in the early period of Taizong, and there has been no famine since then.

Now, after 50 years, there is another large-scale famine in Datang.

However, even though the Tang Dynasty has been so difficult, Shangguan Wan'er still sings praises to the Queen of Heaven and writes poems praising the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"Now our country is peaceful and the people are safe in the Tang Dynasty. The Turkic people, the Xueyu people, the Yan people, and the Khitan people are just a group of ghosts and ghosts who are overwhelmed. How can they pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty?"

Shangguan Wan'er complimented Tianhou tenderly.

"Although they are a bunch of local chickens and dogs, they are also a serious problem." Tian Hou stroked Shangguan Wan'er's head, looking at the young and beautiful Shangguan Wan'er, she seemed to see herself decades ago.

"Your face is a little smaller, and your body is a little thinner. You are not as good-looking as I was when I was young."

Tianhou still misses her beauty from decades ago. Wuhou/Tianhou is a square-faced and plump beauty, which is very in line with Li Zhi's aesthetics.

Shangguan Wan'er is a thin beauty with an oval face, which doesn't quite fit Li Zhi's aesthetics, but fits the aesthetics of ordinary men.

Princess Taiping, the jewel in the queen's palm, is also a plump beauty with a square face, and she looks a little stronger than Shangguan Wan'er.

The plumpness here refers to that, compared with ordinary women, the body is more fleshy, not obese, which is what we say, big breasts and buttocks = plump.

Datang's aesthetics is more inclined to plump, but definitely not obese.

The chubby baby face looks so cute.

"How can a servant compare to you." After writing the imperial edict, Shangguan Wan'er carefully rubbed the queen's shoulders, using the yoga technique she learned from a Brahman master.

Although the Tianzhu people are not good at fighting, they are very good at creating and disseminating various ideas and religions. Buddhism and Brahmanism were spread to the Central Plains by the Tianzhu masters.

"Ha ha."

Tian Hou smiled: "Don't rub it anymore, Gu Gu just has something for you to handle."

Shangguan Wan'er listened carefully to the Queen's words.

"Recently, Dali Temple is investigating a Yanlu spy case. According to the latest information from Dali Temple Chancellor Di Huaiying (Di Renjie), Yanlu's spies seem to have hidden in the palace, but who they are is still under investigation. .”

"If you are free these days, go to Dali Temple and help me keep an eye on Di Huaiying and the others. I want to see if there are really spies, or pointing fingers at Huai!"

Speaking of the latter, Tianhou's tone was very cold. She didn't believe that Yan's spies could really lurk into the heavily guarded palace.

From the Queen's point of view, there was a high probability that it was those Guanlong nobles who were dissatisfied with her, criticizing Sang and Huai, saying that she, the queen named Wu, was like a spy, sacrificing the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty all day long.

Hearing the first half of Tianhou's words, Shangguan Wan'er froze for a moment, her hands and feet trembled.

However, after hearing the second half of the Queen's words, Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.

Shangguan Wan'er stood behind the Queen of Heaven, so the Queen of Heaven did not notice these strange things about her.

"Did you hear what Gu said?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer in time, which made Tianhou a little angry, thinking that Shangguan Wan'er was spoiled and spoiled, and she dared to be so perfunctory because she doted on her.

"what?!"

"Damn slaves!"

Shangguan Wan'er came to her senses and quickly knelt on the left side of the Queen of Heaven, pleading guilty to the Queen of Heaven.

"Okay, okay! Get up!"

"Are you thinking about the boy from another family just now?"

"Gu understands, when Gu was your age, I was also obsessed with those handsome men. Which girl is not pregnant with love, Gu is also a person who has been there."

"Just pay attention next time. If you think about it, think about it when you go home. Don't think about it when you are working."

Tianhou doted on Shangguan Wan'er very much, and forgave Shangguan Wan'er for being dazed and perfunctory just now.

Afterwards, Shangguan Wan'er left Tianhou's bedroom, packed her things, and was going to stay in Dali Temple to assist (monitor) Dali Temple officials in investigating the Yanlu spy case.

When Shangguan Wan'er left the palace, she happened to meet her best friend Princess Taiping.

"The servant has seen the princess."

Although the other party is my best friend, and they call each other as sister and sister in private, but in the workplace, the two parties call each other by position/status.

When you work, you should call your job!
This is the teaching of the Queen of Heaven to Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er will keep it in mind.

"Miss Wan'er...er...well, she is a talented Shangguan, so there is no need to be polite."

Princess Taiping is one year younger than Shangguan Wan'er. The two of them have a very good relationship and have known each other for almost a year. They are used to calling each other sister on weekdays, but they actually forget to address their titles/status when working.

"I'm looking for the queen mother. I have something important to do." Princess Taiping was very anxious. His so-called important thing was actually to marry a beautiful young man he had just set his eyes on.

Not long ago, Princess Taiping rejected Jifa VI's marriage proposal. She disliked Jifa VI, a bad old man who was too old, and now she wanted to recruit a good man.

It's just that she can be so self-willed. An ordinary princess can't be so chic and free, and she is also pampered by the emperor and empress.

"The Queen of Heaven ordered me to go to Dali Temple to assist Di Sicheng to investigate a spy case." Shangguan Wan'er spoke very softly, and even Princess Taiping, who is also a woman, liked Shangguan Wan'er very much.

"Spy case?" Princess Taiping asked casually.

"It is said that the Dali Temple found out by following the clues that the Yanlu spies were in the palace." When Shangguan Wan'er said this, she was very calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

"How can there be spies in the palace?" Princess Taiping felt inconceivable. Thinking of those Guanlong nobles who often criticized the Queen of Heaven, she immediately understood, so she snorted coldly: "The Great Tang is the Great Tang of our Li family. He's a servant of my Li family, what kind of thing is he? He deserves to be there too?"

"Princess be careful!"

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly reminded Princess Taiping not to talk nonsense.

Those Guanlong nobles were all the founding fathers who followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin to conquer the world. They were not servants of the Li family, but Princess Taiping, who lived in the peaceful era, naturally couldn't understand it for the time being.

"Humph!"

"It would be fine if there were really Yanlu spies in the palace, but if not, wouldn't the empress be cursed for nothing?"

Princess Taiping believed that the so-called spies must be the nobles of Guanlong who accused Sang and Huai and the Queen of Heaven as a spy.
