That night, Xue Shao didn't know whether Princess Taiping was pregnant. But the next morning he heard about a happy event from someone else's family, and the Crown Princess Wei of the East Palace gave birth to a boy.

At dawn, the huge drums in the palace kept ringing, reporting good news to the people of Chang'an City. With such drum sounds, those who did not have to go to court today must go.

Xue Shao, Xue Chuyu, Guo Yuanzhen got up and rushed into the palace to attend this morning court when he heard the drums. He learned about this news at the court meeting. Of course, Li Zhi did not come to court. Wu Zetian, who presided over the court meeting, was very happy. When the court announced that Li Xian, the new eldest son, would be named "Crown Prince", he would be granted the world a grand pilgrimage!

It is rare to become a crown prince, let alone settled at birth. All the civil and military officials of the court clearly felt that the emperor wanted to pass on the throne of the Li family from generation to generation. Especially now, the emperor's dragon body is in trouble now, and it is an open secret. At this time, Li Xian gave him a eldest grandson, which was like a "timely help".

One thing was announced at the court meeting that day, that is, on the night of the Chinese New Year the day after tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor will personally climb the Zhuque Tower of the Imperial City like in previous years to meet the officials and people in Chang'an. Some new policies will be announced this year.

When Xue Shao thought of the royal family's New Year banquet that day, he knew the intention of the two saints, and he was nothing more than to declare to the outside world that His Majesty the Emperor was good and to stabilize people's hearts.

The court issued an order to Xue Shao, handing over the imperial guards on the Lantern Festival to Qianqi, and ordered two young generals, Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu, to serve on the left and right, that is, to protect His Majesty the Emperor. Wu Zetian also gave Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu a set of special military uniforms to Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu, and asked them to put them on the Lantern Festival together to serve His Majesty in front of him.

The civil and military officials in the court were thinking that this kind of errand should have been done by Feng Chenwei, but now the two saints made such arrangements specifically to show their commendation and respect for Xue Shao. At the end of last year, Xue Shao returned from a triumphant return from Bai Tieyu, and the court has not yet issued a reward. It is estimated that this matter will be arranged on the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

The military uniform was obviously a dazzling style of the palace dress in the Tang Dynasty. It was extremely colorful and shining. It was more of a "trendy suit" than a military uniform. It was also a horizontal sword with a golden scabbard decorated with colorful glazed gems. This sword was only cast two times a year in the Tang Dynasty and was specially distributed to the confidant generals who served in front of His Majesty during the Chinese New Year Festival, and was named "Taiyi" and "Tianguan".

The naming of these two knives is obviously quite related and said.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, it was legally stipulated that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a grand festival to worship the "Taiyi God". Therefore, according to old people, Taiyi God is the god who dominates everything in the universe; and in the Taoist "Three Yuan Theory", there are three important festivals, Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xiayuan, which are in charge of the upper, middle and lower three Yuans, namely the three officials of heaven, earth, and man. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it belongs to the "Tianguan".

Wu Zetian also took advantage of his happiness and asked Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu to immediately change into their respective Shangyuan military uniforms and show them all the civil and military officials of the court.

The two went to the side hall to change their clothes, and they used two precious swords, Xue Shaopei Taiyi and Xue Chuyu Pei Tianguan. After the replacement, they returned to the court.

"What a heroic two gentlemen! Only in the Tang Dynasty, I have such a good man with such a magical appearance and a talented civil and military talent!" Wu Zetian couldn't help but exclaim, and the civil and military officials in the court were also amazed and envious.

Xue Shao has long been used to being "brutally watched" by others, but Xue Chuyu is not used to it. He will be calm and composed when facing thousands of troops alone, but now he feels that his face is red when he turns around and turns, so he hopes that today's court will end soon.

Xue Shao was thinking in his heart that the second saint arranged for me to be a big show of the limelight, and they must not be interested in being the behind-the-scenes champion of idol stars. It is very likely that they are building momentum in advance to promote me.

Could it be that Guo Yuanzhen's crow's mouth was called out that Xue Chuyu and I would be transferred from Qianqi together to take over the Right Yulin Guard?

After the dynasty meeting ended, the two idol-level young generals were called by Wu Zetian's eunuchs and asked them to go to the imperial study of Xuanzheng Hall to meet the queen.

Xuanzheng Hall is behind the Hanyuan Hall, the court hall, and you have to pass through a large "office area". The most important yamen in the Tang Dynasty, the Menxia Province and the Censorate, etc. are all located in the middle area of ​​the two palaces.

The political affairs hall where the prime ministers discuss matters is set up in the Menxia Province.

When Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu followed the eunuch to Xuanzheng Hall, two people walked not far or near in front of him, one was the attendant Pei Yan, and the other was his deputy, the Huangmen Minister Liu Qixian.

Following the current stride, Xue Shao and others will catch up with them soon. Xue Shao called the eunuch who led the way in a low voice and signaled him to slow down. The eunuch was also very awakening, and he quickly crossed the prime minister in the territory of the disciples, which was quite taboo. So he took Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu slowly, about thirty steps away from Pei Yan.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan turned around and saw Xue Shao, but he stopped leaving. He stood there as if he was waiting for Xue Shao.

Xue Shao couldn't take a detour when he saw the prime minister, so he went up to pay homage with Xue Chuyu.

"Two generals, so heroic!" Pei Yan nodded and praised with a smile, and then said, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

The eunuch led the way quickly replied, "Old Pei Ge, the villain is ordered by the Queen of Heaven to invite the two generals to visit the imperial study in Xuanzheng Hall."

"Oh, so it should be a good thing." Pei Yan smiled as if he was harmless, and said, "At the end of last year, the two generals defeated Bai Tieyu within one month and captured the bandit leader alive to Beijing. The government and the people were very happy. Now, it is time to reward the two generals for their merits."

Xue Shao bowed without hesitation, "As a general, Xue protects the country, safeguards the people and fights against rebellion and quells are all his duty, and he dare not ask for rewards."

"Mr. Xue, you are so noble!" Pei Yan laughed and turned to look at Xue Chuyu again, "It's great, very good, very good, very good," he said.

Xue Chuyu bowed her fists and said nothing.

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Forgive me, Master, Chu Yu has always been serious and stingy."

"You brothers are just a match for each other." Pei Yan said in a joking tone, "The same young and handsome, the same majestic. The two are as one, just like a copper coin."

Liu Qixian beside Pei Yan immediately smiled and said, "The Master of the Pavilion is very good. The two generals are one round and one square, and they are really like a copper coin!"

Xue Chuyu still said nothing, Xue Shao smiled faintly, "What Mr. Pei Ge said is reasonable. Brothers work together to cut off gold, so it is useful for me to get together. If we separate, it will be worthless."

"Mr. Xue, it's really funny!" Pei Yan laughed a few times, and Liu Qixian laughed like a vocal worm.

The two left with each other.

Xue Shao and others stood there and waited for them to walk away before moving.

The eunuch who led the way walked a few steps away and had not spoken, Xue Chuyu spoke in a low voice and said to Xue Shao: "Pei Yan, very hostile."

"It's just that I have ulterior motives." Xue Shao also whispered.

Xue Chuyu frowned, "He has never been accustomed to the Xue family."

"It's like we can't stand him." Xue Shao smiled indifferently.

When Xuanzheng Hall arrived, Xue Shao subconsciously looked at the Assistant Academy before going to Longoudao Road.

Of course Xue Chuyu knew what Xue Shao was looking at. He smiled awkwardly, who had always been serious, "I'll go with the young master later?"

"What are you doing there if you have nothing to do?" Xue Shao glared at him.

Xue Chuyu laughed again, "What about going to talk about the martial arts academy?"

"Shut up!"

Xue Shao scolded, but thought to himself that it is possible to see Shangguan Wan'er in these two places. In comparison, the possibility of the Attorney General is greater. I don’t know how Shangguan Wan'er is doing now. I haven’t seen her for a long time!

Later, the eunuch led the way to take Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu to the front of the hall. The two were about to take off their swords and hand them over to the Feng Chenwei brothers who were guarding the gate. A female voice came from inside.

"The queen of heaven has consented that the two generals can meet with their swords."

Everyone in Fengchenwei recognized Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu, and quickly returned the knife to them, "Two generals, please!"

Xue Shao was calm when he took the knife, and his eyes were always staring at the hall.

There, Shangguan Wan'er was standing there!

Xue Chuyu showed that silly and ambiguous smile again. Xue Shao couldn't help seeing him look like this, so he started laughing.

"The two generals are so excited when they are happy, and they laugh so happily." Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and bowed, "Wan'er is here to welcome the two generals by the order of Queen Tian!"

"How dare you!"

The two of them stepped forward and greeted each other. Xue Shao looked around. They were guards of Fengchen Guard and eunuchs.

This is really not easy to talk to.

Unexpectedly, Xue Shao did not speak out, and Xue Chuyu suddenly spoke: "Miss Shangguan, after the martial arts lecture meeting last time, I asked you to count the expenses and the manpower and materials used, and make a report together. Now, are you all done?"

"Reply to General Xue's words, Wan'er has already made it to be delivered, but unexpectedly General Xue will lead his troops to the expedition." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Wan'er will bring the report later and present it to General Xue in person."

Xue Chuyu looked completely in business and said seriously: "You took the martial arts academy in person, and I want to be in person. If you have any unknown points, you have to ask the girl for advice."

"Yes." Shangguan Wan'er promised.

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing again. He really didn't expect that Xue Chuyu, a dead wood, would even pretend to be public and private, and would help me create a chance to meet Shangguan Wan'er!

Good brother, you can fight with me and cover it!

Later, Shangguan Wan'er personally led Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu into the imperial study room.

The two of them had just walked in and had time to worship, but they heard Wu Zetian's hearty laughter.

"Look, the two most heroic young generals in our Tang Dynasty are here!"

Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu were stunned at the same time. Shangguan Wan'er was already well-behaved and cleverly bowed to them, "Wan'er pays homage to General Taiyi, and to General Tianguan!"

Wu Zetian laughed, "It's great, very good! Wan'er is indeed Lan Xinhuizhi. The names of General Taiyi and General Tianguan are as beautiful as poetry and paintings!"

Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu looked at each other, and thought to themselves: Are they actually idle to this point, and they still give us nicknames?
Chapter completed!
