When I met Tang Wanzhuang, she was working at the Office of the Demon Suppression Department.
This was also the first time that Zhao Changhe saw Tang Wanzhuang sitting in the government office reviewing documents. Although the environment was very solemn, he could always feel that she was in a pavilion with a small bridge and flowing water, writing poetry and painting.
Wherever she sits, there is the scenery of Jiangnan.
Baoqin is still standing by her side, serving tea and grinding ink. She is also an official employee of the Demon Suppressing Department with an internal affairs post. In this world, she is called assistant or secretary. Seeing Zhao Changhe coming, Baoqin felt a little resentful and angry.
He glared angrily and continued to lower his head and polish the ink.
The person who refilled the cup should have been Bao Qin... It's not that I thought too much about Bao Qin, but I have never seen such a thing happen between an emperor and a maid... How can this country...
The difference from before is that Tang Wanzhuang looks very good now. She no longer has the paper-like pale face and coughing sounds from time to time. Her cheeks are white and rosy. The moment she sees Zhao Changhe, her eyebrows bloom with joy.
, it’s even more like the warmth of spring and flowers blooming.
She used to be called the most beautiful woman in the world because of her appearance, but now she is smoother and more beautiful. I feel like I can’t take off this title, and I don’t need to take it off.
Some of the officials from the Demon Suppression Department around were secretly looking at the leader of their house. Whether they were married or unmarried, they all had some unconcealable admiration in their eyes.
So beautiful, this woman...it's a pity that her blooming joy can only be given to one person.
"Is your Royal Highness's rear stable?" Tang Wanzhuang blinked, showing a rare and playful smile.
"Ahem." Zhao Changhe glanced around, and Tang Wanzhuang waved her hand: "Everyone, please step aside."
The surrounding officers all lowered their heads and left with jealousy and hatred.
Zhao Changhe turned his head and watched everyone go out, tutting his tongue: "If someone rebels because of jealousy, then this disaster attribute will be incredible."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled half-heartedly and did not reply. She stood up and moved to the coffee table next to her, making tea with her bare hands.
The tea was fragrant and the steam was steaming. Zhao Changhe sat in front of him and looked at her through the mist. His mind, which had been noisy these days, calmed down again unconsciously.
It can be said that my current temperament is most influenced by Tang Dynasty makeup. This kind of beauty can make people chase and get closer without knowing it, and make themselves become such a person. Zhao Changhe, who was full of swear words in the cottage, now thinks about it.
It's very far away.
Tang Wanzhuang handed over a cup of tea, glanced furtively at no one around, and whispered: "Husband, use tea."
At that moment, the cheeks were dizzy and the head was slightly drooped, which made people's hearts skip a beat, just like ripples rippling in the spring water.
Zhao Changhe took the tea, and even he felt that he had gone too far. He lowered his head and muttered: "These days..."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "Wanzhuang asked my husband to do this, why should I feel ashamed?"
Let her treat you as I treat you...
Tang Wanzhuang continued: "I knew about the Suzaku incident as early as the Yang family... I'm not surprised by this result. But I never thought that Xuanwu was also..."
At this point, her expression finally became a little weird: "You know? In the past, I was afraid of Xuanwu, even more than Suzaku. A long time ago, I was beaten by her... I grew up in the Tang family and lived a high life playing the piano and composing poems.
The eldest lady began to aspire to study abroad and travel around the world. It can be said that it was all thanks to Xuanwu. She was so anxious to break through that she hurt her soul and lungs. A large part of the pressure came from her... I once thought I couldn't see through it.
She is as deep as the abyss... Only now do I realize that I have thought too much, what kind of enemy am I facing in the void..."
Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry.
"Originally, even if you conquered Suzaku, I thought Xuanwu would be a very troublesome hidden danger, but it turned out to be..." Tang Wanzhuang smiled easily: "So why should you feel ashamed? In my opinion, you have clearly exceeded your dues."
mission.”
Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "Why did it become a mission..."
Tang Wanzhuang sighed and said: "As an important minister of the imperial court and the head of the Demon Suppression Department, my idea for such a national plan is similar to a beauty trick. I am also a little embarrassed... But it is indeed the most intuitive method nowadays, and it is also
The antecedents planted by the husband himself were brought about by taking advantage of the situation. Although the process was absurd, the result is that the interests of all the forces in the new dynasty are now aligned. There are no hidden dangers anymore, and we can work together to do what needs to be done."
Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Evening makeup, from my point of view, is not measured by this kind of utility. I would rather you call me a playboy than regard them as..."
"They treat me the same way, so it's even." Tang Wanzhuang smiled: "Oh, it's our business how the husbands in the backyard denigrate each other and regard each other as the conquered, so don't worry about it...
…”
Zhao Changhe: "...So Yuan Yang, do you also view it the same way?"
"Cui Yuanyang... it doesn't matter what she said." Tang Wanzhuang shook her head slightly: "Suzaku Xuanwu is the head of the Four Elephants Sect, Cui Yuanyang is not. The previous policy cannot be involved in this matter."
Zhao Changhe said: "I am here to discuss this matter with you. You know more about the family's affairs than Chichi Qing'er and the others."
"Qing'er...hee..."
"..."
"Ahem." Tang Wanzhuang coughed dryly: "Just like Miss Wang married Cui Yuanyong, and now she can only wipe her tears in the cold palace, the Queen was directly killed by the late emperor without leaving any last words. Misses from the aristocratic family, including me, are here
Internally, I have nothing to say about myself in this kind of thing. They are just props. I am pretty good. I have the highest status in the family and the strongest force. I can fight for my own future. Cui Yuanyang... Her attitude makes no sense.
, the one you need to deal with is still Cui Wenjing."
After a pause, he added: "Actually, the person you associate with the Cui family has always been Cui Wenjing, and Cui Yuanyang is just your bond."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "Yes."
Sometimes he himself doesn't know whether he is in love with Yangyang or Lao Cui, he has a much higher sense of presence.
"But having such a bond is a different advantage from other families. He can be a relative, which is what he originally wanted to strive for." Tang Wanzhuang said: "But now the main issue has become the interests of the monarchy and the family.
Conflict. The late emperor cut off the roots of the family, triggering a rebellion. Cui Wenjing did not personally participate, but giving Qinghe represented the stand of secession. Now that His Majesty established the country as the Han Dynasty and no longer inherited the Xia Dynasty, Cui Wenjing should be giving it a cold look.
Let's wait and see how His Majesty's attitude towards the aristocratic family compares with that of the late Emperor."
"Um."
"Cui Wenjing is the most visionary among the families, but he is still a typical representative of the family's thinking. If he finds that His Majesty is still following the footsteps of the late emperor, then Cui Wenjing will be more likely to cooperate with the Wang family than before.
Your Majesty, your Majesty, Gao... Don't think that King Cui is fighting to the death. The interests of the family are like the country, and there are no eternal friends and enemies. At present, the Cui family has not expressed its position. It is just that our scientific research plan has not yet begun to be announced and implemented... And I and I
Your Majesty is still discussing the tax system of the new dynasty, which is a major challenge to the population and land annexation of today's aristocratic families. Once it is announced, the Cui family will definitely be strangers."
Zhao Changhe finally said: "I know all the truth, but how can we win-win in this kind of thing? This is a completely contradictory position, and there is no way to achieve consensus. It is useless to rely on deception, Old Cui, that old fox..."
"In the past, they relied on the Qinghe Sword to inherit ancient knowledge, including their martial arts and culture. The difference from the inheritance of classics by ordinary people is that the classics need to be understood, and future generations may not be able to learn them if they are unworthy. However, the sword spirit can transfer insights from the soul, allowing people to
They have made faster and more stable progress in cultivation than anyone else. Over the years, the Sword Spirit has been sleeping, and each family has declined accordingly, which is visible to the naked eye." Tang Wanzhuang said: "In a sense, the model passed down by the Sword Spirit
It has been proven that it may not be reliable. Once something goes wrong with the sword spirit, the family's inertia will not be able to keep up, and it will be dragged down to the point where it is not as good as other families who are accustomed to using classics."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "That's right."
"Now that the sword is broken is an established fact. There is no point in dwelling on the past, worrying about whether the sword can be restored, or worrying about hatred. People with great wisdom and determination are needed to lead the family to wake up from the old inheritance model and adapt to the new one.
Times, does Cui Wenjing have such determination and foresight?" Tang Wanzhuang said: "I believe he has already considered that only those who can be at the forefront of the wave can gain the greatest benefits in the new era."
Zhao Changhe said: "Am I just going to be a lobbyist? Should I give him something visible?"
Wan Zhuang of the Tang Dynasty stood up from his seat and bowed deeply: "Wan Zhuang is doing it for his own personal gain... I am not asking for the official title of Marquis of Wu for my nephew. This is an empty title and a seat, and does not involve any authority. However, it is hereditary and has nothing to do with the country."
