The new king Li Xian and his queen Wei Xianger almost rushed to Princess Taiping's mansion with Xue Shao's heels.&{}...{}Since everyone has arrived, and now Li Xian is already the emperor, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping have to take the courtesy of their ministers and come out to welcome him respectfully.

"Peace, honor, no need to be polite!" Although Li Xian became the emperor, he still smiled silly as he used to be, and said, "I actually wanted to visit you and your wife for a long time. I had no choice but to mourn the late emperor, so it was not convenient. I would like to ask you and your wife not to worry about you!"

"I dare not!" Xue Shao and Princess Taiping spoke in unison.

At this time, Empress Wei Xianger stepped forward with a smile and said with a very kind smile, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness is pregnant with Six Jia, and Mr. Xue is also injured. All the common etiquettes can be avoided!"

"Yes, what the queen said!" Li Xian said with a smile, "Taiping, Chenggong, don't you invite me to your mansion for a cup of tea?"

"Your Majesty, please!"

Xue Shao and Princess Taiping quickly invited Li Xian and Wei Xianger to the mansion and placed tea in the main hall. As soon as Li Xian and Wei Xianger sat down in the upper seat, they called people to carry two big boxes. When they opened it, they found that it was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Xue Shao and Princess Taiping looked at each other. What does this mean? Will you buy us?

"Taiping, Chenggong, you two have been renting houses since you moved to Luoyang. The court has not bought a new house for you. This is the court's fault!" Li Xian said, "There is a little vulgar thing here. If you and your wife are accepted, just treat it as a little compensation I have given you!"

"Your Majesty, I will never accept my merits and I will never dare to accept it!" Xue Shao said quickly, "Besides, the house I and the princess live in is not a private house, but a house we bought in private, and it is very comfortable to live there. When my husband and wife were married, the court had built Princess Taiping Mansion for us as usual. Now that we are moving to Luoyang, the court has no reason to build a new house for us!"

Princess Taiping also said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Now that the court is in trouble, you should spend more energy and money on important points. My sisters dare not accept this money. Please take it back!"

"Uh..." Li Xian was stunned and had no idea. He blinked and looked at Wei Xianger.

Wei Xianger was still smiling and said, "Your Highness, Princess Xue, in fact, this is just a small private gift from Your Majesty to you and your wife, it has nothing to do with the credit or the government. It's just that the elder brother is doing his part to the younger sister and brother-in-law. What's wrong with you accepting it?"

"Empress, this is a bad word!" Xue Shao bowed and said seriously: "The royal family and the world are all in the royal family. It is precisely because Your Majesty is the emperor of the Nine Five, that I dare not receive the reward without merit. Otherwise, if the general is out, the foreign ministers will think that Your Majesty does not distinguish between rewards and punishments in public and private affairs, which will greatly affect Your Majesty's majesty and reputation. With this concern, Your Majesty and the Queen's beautiful ministers will be grateful. But I will never dare to accept these two boxes!"

Wei Xianger was a little stunned, gritted her teeth gently, and nodded to Li Xian secretly.

Li Xian hurriedly said, "You don't have to be serious about the prince-consort. If it is really inconvenient, I will not force you to accept it now. But you have no joke. Since I have given this reward, there is no reason to take it back. I will just leave it here for the time being. When you make contributions in the future, I will reward you again. How about it?"

"Your Majesty is clear, it's best! I thank Your Majesty for your understanding!" Xue Shao bowed and bowed.

Princess Taiping also bowed with a smile, "It's still the wise and wise of His Majesty the Emperor!"

Wei Xianger's face turned a little cold. Is it that I am confused?!

The atmosphere during the meal suddenly became a little nervous, and Princess Taiping and Wei Xianger seemed to be in a secret competition again. She had a long time ago, and Xue Shao and Li Xian knew it well. However, today's occasion is obviously not suitable for two women to fight openly and secretly, so Xue Shao and Li Xian each winked at their wives.

Princess Taiping and Wei Xianger both knew each other and smiled on their faces. The smell of gunpowder that had just been exposed quickly faded, and the "secret battle" finally did not escalate.

"In fact, after Prince Xue was injured, His Majesty and I have wanted to visit Prince Xue's injuries many times. However, no one is allowed to enter and exit the hearts of Prince Xue who guarded Zhenguan Palace and Prince Xue's confidant." Wei Xianger said, "Later, Your Majesty was mourning for the late emperor, and even today we came to visit Prince Xue. If there is any negligence, please forgive me for Prince Xue and Princess Taiping!"

"Yes, the queen is right!" Li Xian followed suit, "We went there several times, but they were blocked by the sergeant."

Princess Taiping took the speech and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, the late emperor had just passed away, and the Zhenguan Palace was in a mess. My sister and her husband were also in grief and injured. If we had something to do inadequately, please forgive us!"

Since Princess Taiping answered, Xue Shao just smiled and said nothing more, thinking that Li Xian and Wei Xianger were right. They did come several times during their bedtime recuperation in Zhenguan Palace, but they were all blocked by Xue Chuyu on excuses. At that time, they were under Wu Zetian's nose, so how could they get close to Li Xian and his wife?

The two women seemed to have become the protagonists again, and they spoke polite words in words. Xue Shao knew that Princess Taiping had the most experience and means to deal with this kind of scene, so he was happy and leisurely. Li Xian seemed to have a lot of things to say, but he couldn't get in touch and was anxious.

"After that being said, what's wrong with Cheng Yu's injury?" Finally, Li Xian squeezed out this sentence.

Xue Shao replied: "If you are worried about it, your Majesty is worried, and I have recovered for the first time and there is no major problem."

"Has the real murderer caught the scene?" Li Xian asked again.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Dali Temple Chief Di Renjie is investigating with all his strength, and there will be a result soon." Xue Shao replied.

Li Xian nodded, "I will send someone to urge Di Renjie. In such a serious case, Dali Temple should do its best to supervise and solve the real murderer as soon as possible. I will give the court an explanation, and I will also give the general an explanation!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Shao bowed his hand and thanked him quietly, thinking that Li Xian must have heard some rumors about me outside, thinking that I was in good health!

"Cheng Yu, in fact, I came here specifically today, and I have something important to discuss with you." Li Xian said suddenly.

Xue Shao blinked, "Please speak with your Majesty?"

"I believe that I am young and promising, civil and military talents, and are my closest relatives. If I cannot use it more, it will be unreasonable in terms of emotion or reason." Li Xian said, "So I want to formally appoint you as the Minister of War and the General of the Right Guard of the Ministry of War, and the Third Legion of the Secretariat, and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. What do you think?"

Xue Shao was stunned and was the third rank of the Secretary of the Central Committee - let me be the prime minister?!

In recent years, the collective prime minister system of the Tang Dynasty has become more mature, and many officials of low rank (such as Cen Changqian, the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of War) have been added with the titles of "The Third-rank of the Tongzhongshu Jun" or "The Pingzhangshi of the Tongzhongshu Jun" and have been appointed as prime ministers. The more prime ministers there are, the more restraints they will form between prime ministers and the power of prime ministers will be dispersed, which of course will be beneficial to the king to control it.

Xue Shao never expected that Li Xian’s purpose today was not just to bribe and win over, but also to be the prime minister!

Princess Taiping was also very surprised, which was definitely beyond her expectations!

Without waiting for Xue Shao to reply, Wei Xianger hurriedly said: "The Prince Xue Wen can determine the country by using the military force of the country. Your Majesty such a talent will definitely be valued! Furthermore, it is reasonable for Mr. Xue to be the chief minister to be appointed as the prime minister in the cabinet. Therefore, Mr. Xue should not refuse!"

Logically speaking, becoming a general and becoming a prime minister is something that all officials in the world dream of. But now Xue Shao has the desire to die!

"Your Majesty, Empress, please listen to me!" Xue Shao bowed his hand and said very seriously, "Han Feizi??Xian Xue" says - the wise minister must be from the state department, and the strong general must be from the soldiers. The prime minister is the superior to the king and the subordinates to help the civil servants, and the courtesy of all officials and ministers avoiding the way. I have only been in office for more than a year, but I have only fought two battles. I have no administrative experience, and I have no prestige and ability to take charge of the government. It is not that I do not want to be the most powerful minister to be the prime minister, but that I am not qualified at the moment! Therefore, Your Majesty can only understand the favorable intentions of you! I dare not worship the prime minister, so as not to mislead the king and the country!"

"Why should you be so humble?" Li Xian was a little anxious and said quickly, "The Queen Mother has asked you to consult about military affairs many times. Pei Zilong has also told people privately many times that if there is a difficulty in deciding the border military, you can ask Xue Shao. Even if I don't know you, will the Queen Mother and Pei Zilong recognize the wrong person?"

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, and was about to defend himself, Wei Xianger said in a word, "Mr. Xue, if Your Majesty gives you money, I can understand it. If you give you a position, you will not accept it, then wouldn't you betray the late emperor's trust? In this way, I won't understand it!"

Xue Shao frowned, "You little girl, are you threatening me?" You treat national affairs as a joke. Am I going to follow you to make trouble?"

Before Xue Shao could make up his mind, Princess Taiping suddenly stood up and said righteously: "Empress, this is a bad word!"

Full of gunpowder!

Li Xian and Wei Xianger were stunned at the same time.

Princess Taiping said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the late emperor entrusts the country and country of the Tang Dynasty to you, and at the same time gives you the magical tool of the monarchy. But this does not mean that you can abuse the power to be nepotist! - Xue Lang is very capable, but he knows that he has just entered the official position and is too young and lacks the experience of politics. How can he join the cabinet and become the prime minister? Such a hasty and hard-working decision on the candidate for the prime minister, Your Majesty and the Queen are the ones who have failed to be entrusted by the late emperor!"

Li Xian and Wei Xianger widened their eyes at the same time, almost choking to death by Princess Taiping's words!

Xue Shao quickly stood up to dissuade him, but Princess Taiping took advantage of the anger and fired a series of cannons, "Please think about the family, country, and country. Don't treat such important military and national affairs as a joke as a joke!"

"Stop!" Xue Shao shouted in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how can you be so presumptuous in front of you!"

Li Xian and Wei Xianger were stunned.

Princess Taiping swallowed a deep resentment and bowed slowly, "My sister is wrong and bumped into Your Majesty. Please punish Your Majesty!"

"Cough...this!" Li Xian's face turned red and white, and he vomited twice in embarrassment, and said dryly: "I have known everything about Taiping's hard work. Of course, I know that you are also for my own good and for the sake of our Li Tang's country and country. I forgive you for being innocent!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness!" Princess Taiping bowed and glanced at Wei Xianger coldly, and sat back.

Wei Xianger still remained silent and said lightly: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Xue insisted on refusing, he had to give up the matter of worshipping the prime minister for the time being. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

"Then... let's discuss it again next day. Let's discuss it again!" Li Xian said and stood up, "Since that's the case, I and the Queen will say goodbye!"

Xue Shao made a statement and asked them to stay and then leave before leaving, but Li Xian politely declined. Then the couple respectfully sent the emperor and the empress to leave the palace, fulfilling their etiquette.

But as soon as he returned to the room, Princess Taiping threw away the courtesy of the monarch and ministers behind his head and cursed: "That little bitch Wei Xianger, instigated Your Majesty to give you a cheap prime minister, and then asked you to represent them to fight with Pei Yan and others for their lives! - Isn't that clear that you are going to kill you?!"

Xue Shao not only did not get angry but laughed, "You can't blame the emperor and the queen too much. In fact, this is human nature. Just like a person who fell into the water, he would grab a straw and never let go when he encountered it."

Princess Taiping nodded with consent, then suddenly thought of something, shouted with her claws: "Do you want to be beaten with a crooked neck again?"
