Chapter 22
Pei Shaoqing was not even an official, so he naturally didn't have to be in court.
While officials from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty were worshiping on the Hanyuan Hall and on the platforms outside the hall, Pei Shaoqing stood outside Jianfu Gate and drank the northwest wind while waiting for the summoning.
At this time, Pei Shaoqing had already changed into a new outfit.
The broken black round neck shirt from the previous one has been replaced with a brand new white round neck shirt.
The squid was also replaced with a new one and a pair of new boots under his feet. Pei Shaoqing was already handsome, but today he looked even more handsome after changing into a brand new outfit.
Di Renjie has already gone to the court.
Only Qingxuan followed Pei Shaoqing in an endless manner.
Pei Shaoqing was so bored that he turned his attention to Qingxuan again.
Pei Shaoqing said: "Miss Qingxuan, do you really know martial arts? And you are very awesome?"
"I dare not take it." Because she gave her a bad first impression, Qingxuan's tone was not very friendly, "But there should be no problem killing you."
"So awesome?"
Pei Shaoqing smiled and looked away as if he was not concerned.
Then the next second, Pei Shaoqing took action without warning and grabbed the jade whisk in Qingxuan's hand.
Pei Shaoqing was still very confident about this arrest. Not to mention that Qing Xuan was not prepared at all, even if she was prepared, she might not be able to avoid it.
It should be noted that he is a good player in Hechuan to defend the city.
However, the final result was beyond Pei Shaoqing's expectations.
The catch was actually lost and the whisk hair was not touched.
Pei Shaoqing didn't even see clearly how Qingxuan avoided it.
"Huh? Something is something." Pei Shaoqing also became serious, "Why not have a conversation?"
Qingxuan frowned and said with some displeasure: "Mr. Pei Xiaolang, I just protected you by the emperor's will, not your maid. So, please don't make it difficult for me to do it."
Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "It's just a discussion, what's hard to do?"
Qing Xuan said coldly: "Sorry, I learned killing skills in my master. I can only kill people, but I can't intervene."
Pei Shaoqing was speechless, thinking that this little girl had a deep prejudice against him. Didn’t she just glanced at you a few more times when she first met? As for how she was so revenge?
Besides, isn’t a woman’s beauty just used for men to appreciate?
Without the appreciation of men, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it is meaningless.
At this moment, Pei Shaoqing was too lazy to pay attention to Qingxuan and began to wait quietly.
...
at the same time.
But there was a quarrel in Hanyuan Hall.
The matter has to start half an hour ago.
Half an hour ago, Wu Zetian made an exception to summon Di Renjie, the new Dali Temple chief.
The senior officials of the third rank and above in the palace thought that this dynasty meeting was for the case of Princess Taiping being kidnapped last night.
However, what surprised them was that after entering the hall, Di Renjie said: Hechuan Guard captured Pei Shaoqing, and when he was detained in the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple last night, he actually dreamed of Wenqu Xingjun.
In addition, Wenqu Xingjun also asked Pei Shaoqing to offer good fortune to the Queen of Heaven.
As soon as these words were spoken, the senior officials in Hanyuan Palace were immediately in an uproar.
Many officials saw that there was something strange about it and did not speak up easily.
However, many officials also condemned Di Renjie out of righteous indignation.
"Di Renjie, even the prisoner who is below the level dares to report nonsense, what are your intentions?"
"The Queen of Heaven, the old minister impeached the Dali Temple chief Di Renjie to lose his etiquette before, and was dismissed from office and sentenced to imprisonment!"
"The Queen of Heaven, Di Renjie used the name of death row prisoners and heavenly beings to present auspicious auspiciousness. His intention was to trap the Queen of Heaven in a state of unkindness and unfaithfulness and unfilial piety. I would like to behead him and abandon the market!"
"The Queen of Heaven, I think it's true!"
Amid the quarrels between the ministers, a voice suddenly rang out.
Then a young man walked out of the squad of military generals.
When everyone looked closely, it was Wu Sansi, the Right Guard General.
Seeing that it was Wu Sansi, the members of the officials were silent.
Although Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi had a shallow foundation in the court, they were Wu Zetian's nephews after all, and no one was willing to offend them unless they had to.
Seeing that he was talking to him, Wu Sansi couldn't help but feel proud.
After a pause, Wu Sansi said again: "Did the Hechuan Guardian Pei Shaoqing really dream of Wenqu Xingjun? Did Wenqu Xingjun really ask him to respect Xiangxian to the Queen of Heaven? I will tell you if you summon me to ask!"
Wu Zetian's eyes swept to an old minister in the civil servant's rank.
This old minister is the leader of the current civil servants, and the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe Liu Rengui.
Seeing Wu Zetian's eyes falling on him, Liu Rengui had no choice but to go out to echo: "The old minister thinks what General Wu said is very reasonable, so he might as well summon Pei Shaoqing to ask."
Wu Zetian nodded slightly and said, "Xuan."
The old eunuch in front of the jade steps immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan, Hechuan Guard Capture Pei Shaoqing... to meet him!"
Standing at the entrance of Hanyuan Hall, the three-story large platform and the two sides of the Hanyuan Hall Square passage shouted in succession: "The Xuanhechuan Guardian Captures the Lang Pei Shaoqing to meet you!"
...
Outside Jianfu Gate.
Pei Shaoqing was already a little impatient to wait.
Seeing that the sun was already rising, there was no movement in the court.
The etiquette and procedures of this grand ceremony are really too long and procrastinating.
After waiting for almost half an hour, it was probably already the hour. A sharp and loud horn sounded on the city tower of Jianfu Gate.
"Xuan, Hechuan Guard Capture the Lang Pei Shaoqing to meet him!"
Then an old eunuch ran out of Jianfu Gate in a trot.
Damn it was finally able to go to the palace. Pei Shaoqing cursed in his heart and walked into Jianfu Gate with great strides.
The old eunuch said with a whine and quickly followed, reminding him: "Mr. Pei Xiaolang, you can't go to the palace like this. You have to lower your head and hold your chest, put your hands on your chest, and you can't take big strides, you must take small steps."
The old eunuch said while also making a demonstration: "Just like our family."
It was such a small step, but Pei Shaoqing was too lazy to pay attention to it and walked straight forward.
The old eunuch advised him a few words and saw that it was useless, so he could only keep up with him helplessly.
Qingxuan naturally followed Pei Shaoqing immediately, and she could have entered the forbidden palace.
Pass through Jianfu Gate, cross the Xiama Bridge on Longshou Canal, and then walk up the steps quickly.
Looking at the blue brick steps spreading to both sides, Pei Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh, "It's so wide, it can take hundreds of meters from east to west."
When people walk on the steps, they look like little ant.
After just climbing to the first floor platform, more than 10,000 eighth-rank and ninth-rank officials standing on this floor immediately looked at Pei Shaoqing together.
The key is that there are so many people, and they are still silent.
To be honest, the scene is quite scary.
However, Pei Shaoqing has seen big scenes, so he will naturally not be intimidated by such scenes.
Pei Shaoqing didn't even slant his eyes, and moved forward with the attention of more than 10,000 officials.
Chapter completed!
