Chapter forty-ninth

There are still ten days before the queen's enthronement ceremony, and it will take more than half a month before Princess Taiping can come out of the delivery room to move freely.

Yang Yao and the Xue brothers made a preliminary agreement to go to Guanzhong to tour, ten days after the queen's enthronement ceremony.

After returning to the palace, Yang Yao would be transferred to Xue Yi as the governor of Shanzhou, Li Jingye as the governor of Yangzhou, and Wu Chengsi as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Sansi as the minister of the Ministry of War told Shangguan Wan'er all the contents of her, and asked her to report to Tiger Mom.

Of course, Xue Ying's resignation as the governor of Shaanxi Province is so sensitive that he has nothing to do with him as the emperor. He is the brother who loves his sister and everything he does is to think about the prince's sister. As for whether the tiger mom believes it or not, it will be too late to break up if the negotiations fail.

The emperor continues to make soy sauce, and the tiger mom continues to fight with Pei Yan! At that time, force the emperor to Pei Yan's side, and the tiger mom will bear all the consequences.

What Yang Yao was most worried about was whether the tiger mom would see through his trip to Chang'an. In fact, he had another intention? Will the tiger mom allow this trip to Chang'an? It seems that he still needs to visit Tiger mom tomorrow!

Just as Yang Yao was thinking, Shangguan Wan'er took the initiative to arrive at his bedroom and brought a small jar of soup for the first time.

She sat beside the dragon bed, served a bowl of soup for Yang Yao, and said softly, "Sir, this is the hawthorn fruit tea made by me, which can eliminate food and stagnation, promote blood circulation and phlegm."

Yang Yao looked at her in a daze. Shangguan Wan'er's attitude changed by 180 degrees. It was indeed a beauty trick!

His eyes fell on a bowl of red and green soup served by Shangguan Wan'er. Judging from the appearance, if it was poisonous, it would probably be a very poisonous thing that was blood-sealed!

But Shangguan Wan'er is not stupid enough to poison him! At this moment, what's the use of killing the regicide, except for letting Pei Yan occupy the commanding heights of public opinion? Moreover, the tiger mom can't protect her from the crime of regicide!

Yang Yao picked up the soup bowl and exclaimed, "Zhaoyi is really meant!"

According to the palace rules, the emperor must not eat such soup of unknown origin. Wang De was eager to protect his master and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Master, let me try food for the Master first!"

Shangguan Wan'er knew that based on the relationship and position of the two, she suddenly sent soup. She was too sensitive and hurriedly said, "Let me try it first!"

Yang Yao waved his hand to stop the two of them from fighting for the trial food, and smiled and said, "What are I worried about the soup sent by Zhaoyi?"

He tasted it gently, sour, but it was also sour and sweet. It was indeed much more refreshing than the imperial meal in Zhenguan Palace. He couldn't help but taste it again, and said, "Zhaoyi had avoided me before, so why have he reconciled with me now?"

Shangguan Wan'er said leisurely, "The emperor is willing to share the worries of the empress dowager and fight for the position of Shangshu for the children of the Wu family. I will thank you for your kindness."

Children of the Wu family?

Yang Yao was secretly funny when he heard this. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were the two fools, so he ordered them to sit in the position of Shangshu for a few days! The so-called virtue carries things. With the virtues of these two brothers, the higher they sit, the more painful they fall. I always sweep them into the garbage dump for a day.

Yang Yao tasted the hawthorn fruit tea in one mouthful and sighed, "I thought Zhaoyi really changed her mind, but I didn't expect that she was giving favors to the Queen Mother!"

Shangguan Wan'er was led by Yang Yao. She didn't know how to deal with it. She could only blush and whisper, "Okay, not, I am still, I am very grateful to the emperor. I want to leave."

When Yang Yao saw that she was not talking nonsense, it can be seen that seducing men is not her main character, Tiger Mom! Tiger Mom, you are obviously forcing good men to become prostitutes, driving ducks to put them on the shelves, and teaching underage girls badly!

He was quite meaningless and agreed to Shangguan Wan'er's departure.

Two days later, the tiger mom's decree came from Xi Neiyuan, asking Emperor Yang Yao and the quasi-eunuch Wei Xianger to visit Xi Neiyuan together.

Yang Yao, who received the order of Tiger Mother, felt a stern heart. It would be fine if Tiger Mother summoned him, but Wei Xianger also asked her to go with her. What was going on? Could it be...

It seems that this trip to Xi Neiyuan feels like a Hongmen Banquet!

The tiger mom wanted to summon Wei Xianger, but Yang Yao could only ask Wang De to release Wei Xianger again.

Wei Xianger was confined to the palace for a month or two and was greatly disappointed with Yang Yao. The emperor and the empress had nothing to say, so they went to Xi Neiyuan together.

Xi Neiyuan.

As spring is in full bloom, the tiger mom meets Yang Yao and Wei Xianger in the Imperial Garden. She also serves in the Imperial Garden with her close confidant Shangguan Wan'er who arrived in Xi Neiyuan early.

Yang Yao bowed to the tiger mom according to his etiquette.

Wei Xianger's attitude was very different. She reluctantly bowed to Wu Zetian and said lazily, "I'm paying homage to the Queen Mother."

She deliberately did not call Yang Yao the same title, but called the Empress Dowager, which was to open up the relationship with Wu Zetian and vent her inner dissatisfaction. In her opinion, the initiator of everything was this restless and strong desire for power. How could she swallow this tone with a proud heart?

Wu Zetian's eyes swept over the two of them one by one, and saw their expressions in their eyes, and finally fell on his son Yang Yao. "Xian'er, the Holy Lord went to the Prince's Mansion a few days ago. Have you ever seen peace?"

Yang Yao didn't know if the tiger mom had arranged a spy in the prince's consort's mansion. He had long known that he had secretly discussed with Xue Yan and Xue Shao, Pei Yan and Li Jingye respectively. Anyway, it was a blessing, but a disaster, so Yang Yao could only choose to wear the mask of a filial son and answered truthfully, "No, the emperor's sister is still in the moon room, and she only talked to the prince's consort, Xue Shao, and Xue Yan for a while and rewarded some fine gifts."

Wu Zetian asked, "Bo Li? The governor of Shaanxi Province, the gift given by Xian'er is not very thin!"

The tiger mom was obviously not good at the visitor, and she pressed her step by step. Yang Yaosu said, "Empress, the emperor is the empress's favorite daughter, and her most beloved sister. She awarded the Xue brothers, but in fact she wanted to make the emperor happy and happy."

He simply played Tai Chi with the tiger mom. Anyway, what he did was to be filial to his mother and love his sister. The tiger mom loved to believe it or not, and did not believe it!

Wu Zetian's face was as calm as water, without any joy or anger, and it was impossible to see whether she believed Yang Yao's statement, "Shanzhou is a strategic location, and there is also natural danger in Tongguan. Xian'er was appointed as an official without the court's consultation, which is arbitrary."

Yang Yao said without any storm or fire, "Empress, it was because Shanzhou is a strategic location that my son entrusted it to Xue Yan. Xue Yan's mother is my aunt; Xue Yan's younger brother is my brother-in-law and the empress's son-in-law. Xue Yan's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is beyond doubt."

Wu Zetian said coldly, "Xian'er, the last emperor's will, military and political affairs must be decided by the Ai family. How could Xian'er agree to the enthronement of Xue Yan and the governor of Shanzhou?"

Yang Yao pondered, "Empress, I have never agreed privately. I happened to meet Pei Zhongshu who came to greet the emperor in the prince-consort's house, and I had already discussed it with Pei Zhongshu. Pei Zhongshu had no objection, so I enthroned him. This time, I came to report to the empress."

He directly became a scapegoat and threw the scapegoat on Pei Yan's head. He had a secret meeting with Pei Yan at the Prince Consort's Mansion. There were many people in the Prince Consort's Mansion, and probably couldn't hide it from the Tiger Mom. It would be better to admit it happily first, so as not to arouse the Tiger Mom's suspicion.
