It turned out that Shangguan Wan'er knew some "confidentials" after all, but she didn't want to disclose it so easily and told Xue Shao casually.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it seem that you are cheap and insignificant?

So, after a lot of hard work and indirect attacks, Shangguan Wan'er finally "obscurely" told Xue Shao that someone quietly sued him and went directly to the Empress Dowager, saying that the Shuofang Army had a general who fled the army privately. If the military law is followed, he would be punished for death. However, this general is too well-known and most people dare not act rashly, so they asked the Empress Dowager to be a sage.

Needless to say, this guy who complained must be Wei Wei.

Shangguan Wan'er whispered that after Empress Wu followed the vine of "Desergeant", she naturally knew a lot about Xiazhou and Shuofang Army. So she sent this good medicine to calm down the heart fire.

Xue Shao knew in his heart that it was very clear. If Wei Zhiji was not Wu Zetian's confidant, he would not have the chance to be sent to take over Xiazhou and Shuofang Army. When he got there, if Wu Zetian did not have the strong support, Wei Zhiji would not have the courage to do whatever he wanted.

In other words, Wu Zetian had known and acquiesced what Wei Tieji did there for a long time. However, at this point, the deserter incident and the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce incident occurred one after another. Wu Zetian was worried that Wei Tieji would completely anger Xue Shao, so she came forward to comfort her.

"Okay, I understand." After hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Xue Shao's tone was a little cold.

Shangguan Wan'er was quite worried, "Young Master, it's not easy for the Empress Dowager. Don't blame her. The country has to take care of all aspects, and it is not easy to carry a bowl of water anytime and anywhere. If you take into account your personal relationships too much, you will often be biased in justice. I hope the young master will be more considerate of this!"

Shangguan Wan'er's "Young Master" made Xue Shao feel a little relieved, which was much closer than those who called "Son-in-law, Shangshu".

Thinking about it as she wanted, Xue Shao felt that what she said had some truth.

Although Wei Daijing frequently infringed on his own interests after taking office, when he first took office, he also slashed the confidant Shi Tang Huaibi appointed by the Prime Minister Pei Yan. Later, he also won the title of "Man Slaughter". Even the then father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen was cured to the point of being blue and swollen when he went to Xiazhou.

In comparison, what Wei Waiji did is really nothing.

If anyone else is, it is the new official who takes office, and stabilizing his own position, and defending his authority is the top priority. This will inevitably shake the old power and interest groups. On this point, Wu Zetian always has a principle of doubting people without hiring people. Since she chose Wei Yiji, she will give Wei Yiji the greatest trust and support.

In the final analysis, she simply hopes that Wei Zhiji can manage the people's livelihood in Xiazhou and stabilize the border defense in the Shuofang. In Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Zetian did this out of public intention.

"I understand." Xue Shao said, "Please reply to the Queen Mother, just say that the medicine is coming in time. I thank the Queen Mother for giving the medicine."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Do you really understand?"

"Can there be any false?" Xue Shao smiled, "But if you want to give me a few more words, I will definitely listen carefully."

"I dare not be aware of the advice." Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile, "I'll tell you a small example. If one day the noble son Xue Qiyu and the neighbor's child fight and come to you cry and cry, what will you do?"

Xue Shao blinked, "Qiyu is still young and can't fight."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled helplessly, "I said it, if it is."

"My house has no neighbors!" Xue Shao touched his chin and looked like he was thinking seriously. "When he first came to Luoyang, he had it, but later he moved. Princess Taiping's mansion has always occupied a whole house."

"If, I said it was if!" Shangguan Wan'er knew that Xue Shao was playing tricks again, and was both angry and funny, "Have you talked to me seriously?"

"Aren't I sitting upright?" Xue Shao sat upright and looked very serious, raised his fists and said with a stern look, "About your question, I thought about it carefully and came to the result. I will tell Qi Yu that you lost this useless soft ball fight and still have the face to come back to find your father with tears? Your father's face was thrown away! Hurry up and fight back until you win!"

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm so angry!" Shangguan Wan'er stood up angrily and was about to leave.

"Oh, don't leave!" Xue Shao quickly stopped her and said with apologies, "I know what you mean while joking."

"What does it mean, let me tell you?" Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Xue Shao with her body sideways, as if she was really angry and happy.

"Compared with Wei Daijing, of course, I am closer to the Empress Dowager!" Xue Shao said with a smile, "If I had a bad fight with Wei Daijing, the Empress Dowager would of course only coax him, scold me, and then calm the dispute. Well, just like the example you gave, Qiyu had a fight with the neighbor's children, and of course I was scolding my Qiyu and comforting other people's children. It's the same truth!"

"Then why are you talking nonsense just now? You have to twist your words and tease me? Humph!" Shangguan Wan'er stroked her sleeves in annoyance, "I'm leaving!"

"It's time to have a meal, don't worry, right?" Xue Shao whispered.

Shangguan Wan'er stopped, turned around and walked to Xue Shao, and stared at him.

Xue Shao also looked at her, his eyes were full of affection, and his heart was thumping like his first love.

"Is this really good to openly tease the concubines of the late emperor?"

After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and floated away.

"I... let me go!" Xue Shao's heart suddenly felt like eight hundred cats were scratching desperately, thinking hatefully: What's the concubine of the late emperor? Isn't that bald donkey Liu Huaiyi still...

Wan'er, you will be mine sooner or later!

...Grandma, how could Wan'er become so seductive?!

With these resentment from the slut, Xue Shao returned to the Office of the Internal Affairs Office. Yao Yuanchong and Wang Yu were still playing chess, and they were both hungry.

"It's time to eat!" Xue Shao raised his hands to the two of them and strode towards the dining hall.

Yao Yuanchong and Wang Yu both laughed immediately, and they thought tacitly: It’s okay, it’s okay, his anger has disappeared! Now it seems that Shangguan Wan'er is really a good medicine to calm down her heart fire!

A few days later.

Niu Ben and Duan Feng each wore a set of them. Xue Shao asked someone to tailor-made large-sized Mingguang armor for them. From then on, they followed Xue Shao left and right and became personal subordinates. They led their horses to the left and right guards during the day, and guarded the door with fire and sword at night, and were inseparable like two live-action versions of the door gods.

Niu Ben will naturally be a little worried about his deserter problem, saying that would be a problem for a public appearance like this?

Xue Shao said angrily: "What can be done? I, the Minister of War, recruited one or two young generals as his close friends. Is it that difficult?"

Duan Feng smiled and said, "Brother Niu Ben, don't worry too much. Mr. Xue is a man with a good hand and eyes. Your little trouble is nothing."

"Did you hear it? Learn a little." Xue Shao glared at Niu Ben with anger and cursed in his heart: You are so stupid, you sued the Queen Mother for all your affairs. There is an old saying that you have to look at the owner when you beat a dog. Of course, the Queen Mother will not care about your little things. But the price is that I can't care about Wei Dai!... Daihan, daihan, do you know how much you are worth? It's almost equivalent to the large foundation business run by the Hongye Chamber of Commerce in Helong!!

At this moment, Xue Shao was a little worried about Yu Hongye. No matter how shrewd and capable she was, she was a daughter after all, and she needed someone to rely on her. If she was still in Xiazhou, everything would not be a problem. Now she was fighting alone in Xiazhou, and Liu Youqiu and Su Weidao, who could have relied on for a while, had been defeated by Wei Tieji. Then, she must have lived a very miserable life now.

So Xue Shao made up his mind to transfer Yu Hongye and her chamber of commerce back to Luoyang and start the stove again.

This task can only be handed over to Yue Nu and her adopted father Wu Ming. Xue Shao specially sent thirty extra strong teams to the two of them, urging them not to have a head-on conflict with Wei Daijing, but they cannot be bullied at any time!

When Yue Nu heard this, she was furious and said, "Who dares to bully Yu Hongye? I told him that life is worse than death!"

Wu Ming scolded, "You girl is always rough, how can you just think about fighting and killing?"

Xue Shao said, "It's so troublesome to die than life? If someone really bullies Yu Hongye, he will cut off the corpse and feed the dog. I will be responsible for the death of someone!"

"Really? Good!" Yue Nu made a big happy statement.

"Young Master, you..." Wu Ming smiled bitterly, "If you give such an order, Yuenu will surely kill hundreds of people!"

Xue Shao smiled and said, "I don't worry if you are here."

Wu Ming had to smile bitterly and nodded, glaring at Yue Nu again, "If you don't want to obey, you are not allowed to go with you!"

"Listen, I listen! I will definitely listen!" Yue Nu agreed with confidence, and she had always been very awe of this adoptive father.

The father and daughter went to Xiazhou with thirty plots. They traveled back and forth for several months, and Yu Hongye set up camp and camp at the same time. Xue Shao estimated that it would be at least half a year later when they came back.

Taking advantage of this period, Xue Shao planned to lay a foundation for Yu Hongye in Luoyang and said that he was helping her, but in fact, he was not helping herself?

It is Xue Shao's usual style to do it.

Isn’t the Hongmen in Helian’s Guchuan now engaged in trough transportation? If you have ships, people, and even safety is guaranteed. So after the Hongye Chamber of Commerce moved to Luoyang, can’t it be possible to vigorously carry out north-south trade in the vast Jiuzhou with the help of well-connected trough transportation?

This is more prosperous and has a bright future than entrenched in Helong!

"If you lose your horse, you will know that it is not a disaster. Perhaps, this is a good wedge for the rise of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce?"

With this idea, Xue Shao took a break and took his left and right door gods to Xianyang County in person to talk to Helian Guchuan in person.
