Wang Wenzuo's face turned red when Qiyu said it, and he was speechless for a moment. He had never been in such embarrassment in his life, and finally he could only say: "Okay, okay, okay, it's all up to you!"
"What do you rely on me for?" Saitama asked with tears in his eyes.
"I will stay here until the child is born and will not return to Baekje!" Wang Wenzuo said with a wry smile: "I will write to the court later, explaining the situation here, and begging to return to Baekje after October!"
"Isn't that great!" Qiyu laughed, and she stretched out her index finger and poked Wang Wenzuo hard on the forehead: "Sanlang, you are a person who refuses to eat and drink as a penalty. You are obviously a good person, but you don't listen, so you insist on crying. Only then are you willing to give up. Look, my makeup is stained with tears. It’s all your fault!”
"Okay, okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Wang Wenzuo said with a bitter smile.
"Should I be punished if I make a mistake?"
"I want to be punished, I want to be punished! How about you punish me to touch up your makeup?" Wang Wenzuo sighed.
"Okay!" Saitama's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said to the female officer: "Quick, go get my bronze mirror and makeup, Saburo wants to touch up my makeup!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the neatly arranged bronze mirrors, various rouges and gouache, and the eagerly awaited Saitama in front of him, Wang Wenzuo showed a wry smile. He walked to sit next to Saitama and whispered: "You were born with a good color, apply rouge." The gouache is just dirty, so why not wash it off and leave it bare-faced?"
"With bare face? That's a good word!" Saitama smiled, then frowned: "You just promised me to touch up my makeup, and now you say this, are you trying to be lazy?"
"Where, where!" Wang Wenzuo saw that Qiyu had seen through his intentions, so he had to pick up the powder box to touch up Qiyu's makeup. Qiyu saw Wang Wenzuo obeyed, and was secretly proud in his heart. He commanded Wang Wenzuo and said with a smile: "Sanlang, don't be reluctant. I don't know how many people want to do your make-up job but can't get it!"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile while using a powder puff to reapply the powder: "It's just that I'm clumsy, so I'm afraid I won't be satisfied with it and the color will be stained!"
"I think it's okay!" Saitama said while looking in the mirror: "You have been busy for so long. In the next few months, you can accompany me well, look around the scenery, and cultivate yourself. Isn't it better than returning home?" Is Baekje so much better? You are good at everything, but you are too busy all day long!"
"What can I do? I just have a hard life!" Wang Wenzuo handed the powder box to the female officer aside and said with a smile: "But if I stay in my hometown, I'm afraid I will still be a farmer driving cattle all day long. How can you Meet me, let alone the child in my belly!"
"That's true!" Saitama sighed: "If I hadn't met you, I would have definitely lost to Katsuragi in the fight for the throne. I'm afraid I would be dead by then!"
Wang Wenzuo didn't say anything. He hugged the queen into his arms and kissed her. The queen kissed back tacitly. The female officer on the side silently exited the door and closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.

"Sanlang, how do you plan to submit a letter to the court?" Qiyu, with disheveled hair, asked with interest, leaning on Wang Wenzuo's right arm.
"This actually doesn't matter!"
"It doesn't matter? What do you mean?"
"No matter what I write, it will attract attacks from the admonishing officials!" Wang Wenzuo said.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If you have ridden a horse, you should know that if you want to ride a horse well, the reins are indispensable. The emperor is the rider, I am the horse, and the admonisher is the reins. If the horse runs too fast, the rider He would tighten the reins to prevent himself from falling off the horse."
"So you ran too fast?" Saitama laughed.
"Of course! Before I left Chang'an, the emperor gave me two tasks: to retrieve the relics and to solve the problem of Fuyu Fengzhang and the Baekje exiles. Now I have even forced the eldest brother, the prince, to death, and I am not running fast? "
"You've missed one thing, including me and the baby in my belly!" Saitama smiled narrowly: "If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew this, he would probably be stunned!"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzuo smiled, noncommittal. Saitama did not continue to ask further and changed the subject: "Sanlang, what are your plans?"
"It's very simple, bribe the Queen!"
"Bibbing the Queen? What do you mean?"
"I just gave the queen a large sum of money to bribe her to speak for me! As long as she is willing to come forward, those admonishers can't do anything to me!"
"Is this okay?" Qiyu laughed in surprise: "A noble person like the Empress of the Tang Dynasty can also be bought with money?"
"There are really not many people in the world who can't be bought! If you can't buy it, it's just because the price is not enough!" Wang Wenzuo's expression became grim: "Actually, let alone people, even a country can be bought!"
"How much money will it cost?" Saitama asked enthusiastically: "Are two loads of gold sand enough? If it's not enough, I can double it!"
"That's it!" Wang Wenzuo laughed when he heard this: "You don't need to pay for this. If my method works, you won't even need to pay a tael of gold sand!"
"What other evil ideas do you have!" Saitama laughed: "Tell me!"
————————————————————————
Noon the next day.
"Hongdu, I need you to go back to Chang'an for me!" When Wang Wenzuo sat on the bench, Cui Hongdu was eating grilled rice balls and pickled fish sausage for breakfast: "I know it's a little awkward for you to leave at this time, but this is There is no one else to deal with but you!"
"Then let me go!" Cui Hongdu wiped his mouth: "Is it a matter of interceding with the Holy Emperor for Liu Gong? Don't worry, our Cui family still has some people in Chang'an! I will go and see when the time comes, it will definitely be useful! "
"This matter is not the most important thing!" Wang Wenzuo subconsciously looked around: "When you go to Chang'an, you first meet two people, Brother Renshou and Liu Neifu!"
"Yeah!" Cui Hongdu nodded, he hesitated for a moment: "I know about meeting General Jin, why do you want to meet Liu Neifu?"
"It's best to go through him for relic matters!" Wang Wenzuo said: "He needs to arrange for you to meet the Queen!"
"Me? Meeting the Queen?" Cui Hongdu was startled. At that time, although Empress Wu did not have the power she would later have, she started her career as a servant of the late emperor, and successively killed the queen who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, Changsun Wuji and other Tuogu ministers, and became the number one person beside the Supreme Being. She was so famous and powerful that everyone It is far beyond the comparison of ordinary queens. In addition, there have long been rumors that the emperor is in poor health and the prince is still underage. Once the emperor dies, will the queen be the one in charge?
"That's right, this matter is really too involved. Once any complications arise in the process, I can't bear it. So you must meet the Queen in person, present my letter, and then answer the Queen's questions one by one, like this I can only trust you!"
"I understand!" Cui Hongdu swallowed, feeling that no part of his body was at ease: "San, Sanlang, do you think I can do it?"
"Of course, you are the thousand-mile horse of Cui family in Qinghe!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Besides, if you are not used, who will be used? I can't separate myself, how can I let He Bayong, Yuan Aolie and the others? I can't send them. Ijiren Hokuto and Fujiwara are no better than these two Japanese, right?"
"That's true!" Cui Hongdu felt confident now: "Then what will the queen ask me? How should I answer?"
"Except for Saitama having my child, tell the truth about everything!" Wang Wenzuo said: "In the letter, I will tell Her Majesty the Queen that the Japanese people are grateful for Your Majesty's great virtue and plan to build temples in the Japanese country to make offerings to the Buddha's body and relics. To express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness. If she is willing to give the relic to Shitennoji, her reputation will spread overseas!"
"What? You asked Her Majesty the Queen to give the relics to the Japanese? How is that possible?" Cui Hongdu said with a smile: "You have forgotten how much effort the Queen spent on this thing and how many people she killed? If she agreed, how could all that effort be done? Isn’t it in vain?”
"You are wrong!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely agree. Not only will she agree, but she may also give a sum of money to build this temple!"
"This, how is this possible?"
"Let me ask you, what does the Queen want the relic for?"
"Of course it's to provide support and pray for blessings!"
"Really?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "You have forgotten that this relic was originally in Dinglin Temple in Baekje. In order to seize this relic, I don't know how many people were killed. It can be said that this relic is covered with human blood. And resentment, do you think offering this thing can bring you blessings?"
"This -" Cui Hongdu was stopped by Wang Wenzuo's question. He hesitated: "I'm not sure, but if it's not for good fortune, then why? I've seen that thing once, it's just an ordinary small bead. It’s worse than ordinary pearls.”
"For reputation, for willingness!"
"Reputation? Willing power?"
"Yes, although our Queen is born as a girl, she has the heart of a man!" Wang Wenzuo lowered his voice: "She is not willing to just stay in His Majesty's shadow!"
"You are not willing to just stay in His Majesty's shadow? What else can you do?" Cui Hongdu said with a smile: "Can't you come out? Then you will die in the sun?" At this point, he couldn't help laughing. Wang Wenzuo didn't smile, but looked at him calmly: "What if you can't die from the sun?"
"Can't die from the sun? How is that possible? There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the people. This has been the truth since ancient times. Besides, no matter how powerful Empress Wu is, she is still a woman!"
"What about women? Queen Wenwen of the previous dynasty was also a woman. She still presided over the government, deposed the prime minister, and replaced the prince. How do you know that the current queen can't do it?"
Cui Hongdu smiled and said: "Queen Wenwen of the previous dynasty? This is unlikely, right? What kind of background is the current Queen Wu, how can she be compared with her?"
No wonder Cui Hongdu said this. The queen of literature in the previous dynasty mentioned by Wang Wenzuo was Dugu Jialuo, the wife of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Her father was Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillar States of the Western Wei Dynasty, and a core figure of the Guanlong Group. Dugu Jialuo's two sisters are Empress Yu Wenyu, Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the mother of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. One family is the empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. She herself had a close relationship with Yang Jian, and all five of her sons were born to Dugu Jialuo. After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he respected Dugu Jialuo very much and often discussed national affairs together. Gao Ying, an important minister at that time, was once a retainer of Dugu Xin. Therefore, there was a saying in the palace at that time that there were two saints. In comparison, the Wu family was older than Dugu Jialuo. Luo is much humbler.
"Birth is naturally important, but the situation now is different from that time!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "What Her Majesty the Queen wanted was prestige. She got the relics and built a temple in Chang'an, Luoyang to enshrine them. This is certainly beautiful, but if she can be in the Wouldn't it be more glorious if the Japanese country built temples to worship them, used Buddhism to control the vassal state, and became a vassal of the Tang Dynasty forever?"
"That's right!" Hearing this, Cui Hongdu nodded: "But the Japanese country is so far away from Chang'an, who knows what's going on here? We can't let Empress Wu come here in person, right?"
"This is not simple!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "I have already written it in the letter: If the queen is interested, she can ask the Japanese country to send an envoy to pray for the relics to be given to the country. The queen hopes that God will have a good life. Virtue, I gave you the relics. The Japanese country was grateful for Her Majesty the Queen's great kindness and built a temple in their own country to worship her. They also built a twenty-foot Buddha statue on the mountain to represent the Queen's face. They thought that the mountains would never be destroyed and their admiration would last forever!"
"Is this okay?" After hearing Wang Wenzuo's words, Cui Hongdu was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "How can the queen's royal appearance be exposed?"
"As long as it is not announced, who will know? The Japanese have never seen Queen Wu!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Besides, if this happens, the queen will be reincarnated as a Bodhisattva and be worshiped by Japanese people for generations? Why wouldn't she want to? "
"That's true!" Cui Hongdu nodded: "I originally thought it was impossible, but from what you said, it's possible! Then I'll go to Chang'an!"
"That's good. There are some other things that you should take care of together. Don't make any mistakes!"

Dengzhou, government office.
The rising sunlight passed through the narrow window. The judge stretched himself. The servant put on his official robe and said, "Mr. Lang, I just heard something strange from the old soldier who was fetching water outside. Do you want to do it?" Don’t you listen?”
"Nagging!" The judge impatiently raised his arm so that the servant could fasten his belt: "Speak quickly!"
"Yes, Sir!" The servant took the official boots from the side and put them on the boat for his master. He said with a smile: "That's what happened. At noon the day before yesterday, a boat hit the rocks on the coast of Fuguo County. All kinds of groceries floated everywhere. All, the local people took boats to salvage. Not to mention, there were a lot of good things in those debris, and many people made a fortune from it. After the news spread, more people came, including those from nearby counties. The fishermen stopped fishing and came here with their boats to try their luck..."
"Nagging, tell me what's important!" the judge said.
"Yes, yes, I will pick up the important things now!" The servant had already put on the judge's boots and began to comb the judge's hair: "Where are the people who came after? They were not so lucky, and they didn't salvage anything valuable. , But what? Someone has caught a person, and he is an important figure!"
"Who?" the judge asked.
Routinely asking for votes, I need to subscribe to get rewards.
