Chapter 0009 Rewriting Destiny.
Well... If that's the case, then I won't have a chance to take revenge personally. It's not ideal either," Princess Taiping pouted, feeling inexplicably anxious.
"Not fair! This palace is feeling unwell today!" Just finished playing with Princess Taiping and she's being naughty again, "This palace wants to play chess with you!"
Do you want to have a baby?
Compared to jiao di and cuju, touhu appears much more elegant. It involves using a long-necked pot and throwing arrows into it from a distance. The person who throws the most arrows into the pot wins.
After playing football, Xue Shao bowed and stood in front of Princess Taiping.
Where will my future lie, Xue Shao?
We will meet again." Xue Shao smiled calmly, turned around, and walked away.
The wealthy Xue family from Hedong is currently involved in this case.
Evading, there is no escape. Then, the only option is to... go against the current and seek a new way out, thus changing one's destiny!
"Never mind, let's compare again!" Princess Taiping was very dissatisfied and said, "Let's play pitch-pot! Let's compare in pitch-pot!"
"You laugh so annoyingly! I'm not playing anymore, I'm going back to the palace!" Princess Taiping angrily turned around and walked away, while glaring at Xue Shao. "Just you wait, I will compete with you again tomorrow and I will definitely defeat you!"
According to the latest statistics, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Taiwan has reached 1,000, with 10 deaths. The government has implemented various measures to control the spread of the virus, including border controls, mandatory quarantine for inbound travelers, and social distancing guidelines. The public is urged to continue practicing good hygiene and follow the government's guidelines to prevent further spread of the virus.
As expected, Xue Shao won the competition without any suspense.
Historical records have it that "after Li Shimin, there were no good generals." In the following decades, the most lacking profession in the world was military generals, and there was a great vacuum of power and space for them in the army. I don't want to compete for this huge blank space. Do I have to rack my brains and squeeze into the court to fight against those cunning and treacherous politicians? Whether I can win or not is one thing. In some years when Wu Zetian was in power, nearly eighty prime ministers were changed like a revolving lantern, setting a record in history!
After finishing his meal, Xue Shao stood quietly by the window, gazing at this magnificent and splendid palace.
Princess Taiping blinked her big round eyes and saw her mother smiling so mysteriously, as if she had a sense of being tricked... It seems like the Empress Dowager is deliberately teasing me, trying to make me voluntarily let go of this grudge?
"Then won't I not be able to see him?" Princess Taiping unconsciously exclaimed, her two black eyes blinking rapidly for a while, and then she suddenly had an idea and said, "Mother, I just remembered something!"
Thinking of this, Xue Shao's mouth slightly lifted up, and a strange and cold smile appeared on his silent face like water... The only reason why Xue Shao was remembered in history was because he was the husband of Princess Taiping. Now, all of this can change.
Therefore, even if we set aside interests and ideals, the only way out for me, Xue Shao, is to join the military!
The only viable way is to protect oneself and maintain political power from within the barrel of a gun!
This time, I will personally compete with you! If you lose, I will twist your neck fiercely!Princess Taiping said angrily, feeling unsatisfied, so she added a harsh sentence, "If you can win, I will grant you an official position!"
According to the latest statistics, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Taiwan has reached 1,000, with 10 deaths. The government has implemented various measures to control the spread of the virus, including border controls, mandatory quarantine for inbound travelers, and social distancing guidelines. The public is urged to continue practicing good hygiene and follow the government's guidelines to prevent further spread of the virus.
Alright, alright - let's go back to the palace!Princess Taiping stroked her sleeve like her mother, looking both majestic and very angry. However, a sly smile appeared on her face and she whispered to herself, "It's actually quite fun!"
"Congratulations on Princess's return to the palace!" Xue Shao exclaimed loudly from behind.
The eunuchs and palace maids were already holding back their laughter to the point of internal injury, while Xue Shao smiled without saying a word. Even if you are a woman, you can only give birth to one child at most in a year, and if you are lucky, it could be twins. But I am a male seed machine. Give me a group of women, and I can create a nation!
Princess Taiping seemed to have found a savior, "Mother, you finally came! Please help your son come up with a plan. I will definitely defeat him tomorrow!"
Her Royal Highness apologizes! A group of people were frightened and all knelt down on the ground.
Wu Zetian rarely chuckled twice, gently stroking her shiny black hair, and said, "I have already pardoned him and allowed him to leave the palace."
Why can't I?
Xue Shao carefully recalls his understanding of this period of history. There is no doubt that the next few decades will belong to the era of Empress Wu Zetian. This unique female emperor in history is about to overthrow the Li Tang dynasty and establish the Empress Da Zhou dynasty, ruling the country with great success.
This craft, whether in the past or present life, Xue Shao is an absolute master. Just in terms of the past life, he has practiced throwing knives, stabbing the throat from ten meters away is a piece of cake for him, so this mere game of pitching is too childish for him.
Whenever he seriously contemplates or harbors murderous intent, he always squints his eyes like a leopard about to pounce on its prey.
How? Wu Zetian asked persistently.
After three rounds, the princess luckily won one round. In fact, it was Xue Shao who didn't want to embarrass the princess and intentionally let her win.
Regardless, it will never be within the fragrant boudoir or on the spring bed of Princess Taiping. This has already been proven by the short-lived Xue Fuma in history. No matter how much Princess Taiping loves him, no matter how much Wu Zetian values her only daughter, Xue Shao can only die properly!
Under a fallen nest, how can there be unbroken eggs?
After dealing with the state affairs for a whole day, Wu Zetian visited her beloved daughter after visiting the bedridden Emperor Li Zhi. Seeing her daughter in such a state, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile.
Once the emperor, once the courtier, the Li clan, who were members of the royal family, were almost completely wiped out by Wu Zetian, leaving only a few survivors, including the old aristocratic clans who had previously actively supported the Li clan, who will also face a major purge.
In history, her daughter Princess Taiping's husband Xue Shao was also an example of this!
Currently, it seems that my only way out is to join the military!" Xue Shao came to this conclusion.
After years of military and mercenary career, and countless experiences of life and death, Xue Shao has long been indifferent to life, death, honor, and wealth. However, now facing this mythical palace and being implanted into this dreamlike history, and facing a new and dangerous future full of challenges, his long-suppressed ambition as a man seems to be gradually recovering and awakening.
Princess Taiping of Penglai Palace returned and lay on the bed, refusing to eat, frowning and kicking her feet, while squeezing the pillow hard with both hands.
History is like the sea, with ever-changing winds and clouds. It is always the few powerful figures who are scripting the history.
Looking back, the lights were dim. The palace was solemn, with towering gates and walls, like a watershed between two worlds.
Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. The political intrigue was portrayed to the extreme by this woman. During the many years when Wu Zetian was in power, a white terror pervaded the court, which was far more dangerous than the battlefield with its gunfire and bullets.
In the face of political interests, family ties are completely insignificant; Wu Zetian was even willing to harm her own biological son; as for a son-in-law, what is he worth?
After finishing the game, Princess Taiping was speechless and bit her lip. With determination, she said, "Let's... let's have a child! Now you will definitely lose!"
Xue Shao was still taken back to the Dragon Head Hall by several palace guards. After all the commotion, it was already dusk.
