Coming out of the captain's room, Zhao Hongyu's complexion was quite bad.Aries people have something on their minds and are very considerate.Shao Kuancheng followed her to an empty corner, and Zhao Hongyu began to complain. "I thank you first! You clearly know that I have resigned. I am no longer a member of the corps. I am not even a policeman. You still let me go on a mission. I have the right to refuse?" Shao Kuancheng said, "Didn't you say that you were a volunteer protecting cultural relics?" Zhao Hongyu looked helpless as if she had met a soldier: "Do you understand what volunteering is? Volunteering is voluntary! It is not an obligation! Let me tell you, whether it is protecting cultural relics, getting married, or having children, it is all important to me. It's not an obligation!"

Zhao Hongyu's voice got a little louder, and Shao Kuancheng's voice also rose: "I thought that since you were a policeman, I thought that since you were a member of the Criminal Investigation Corps, protecting cultural relics and fighting crime, I thought you would volunteer!" Zhao Hongyu was a little aggrieved and blushed, but she still pleaded weakly: "Is it okay if I dig a hole and bury myself! You clearly know that I am going to go to school now, and I may go abroad soon. I have my ideals, my arrangements, and I am not voluntary now!" Shao Kuancheng quarreled with her in a rare way: "You have not completed the resignation procedures, and you are still a policeman! Your file is still here, so you are still a member here! If you are a policeman, you should obey orders! When the people need you When the time comes, you must charge forward!"

For many years, for Zhao Hongyu, Shao Kuancheng has always been a peaceful and caring character, never blowing his beard and staring at her.So Shao Kuancheng's fierceness made Zhao Hongyu surprised and disgusted: "You sister! My resignation has been approved by the headquarter, and it will take effect if it is approved! You are middle-aged and old! Come to this great principle!" Shao Kuancheng was silent for a while, not wanting to quarrel anymore, and said wearily: "I have already told you about your situation, but the captain still decided to talk to you, and he said that he believes you can bear it."

Just as Zhao Hongyu was about to say something, Shao Kuancheng didn't want to listen anymore: "If you don't want to, the team won't force you. The team has other plans." Zhao Hongyu's voice softened: "Did you say that I don't want to live in my father's house? I feel sorry for my mother when I live there. My mother will be sad when I live in the house. No matter how big his house is, it has nothing to do with me!" Shao Kuancheng was speechless, and only said: "It's not that you are asked to investigate your father, but...you and your father are the shortest and fastest route to the target. This case will not last for a few days!"

Although Shao Kuancheng said so, he understood that Zhao Hongyu's words showed that she still had a distance from her father.The relationship between her and her father still has some historical scars, but she didn't think much about it when she didn't encounter trouble. Zhao Hongyu saw that Shao Kuancheng was silent and did not answer, and then complained: "You know that I don't want to live there and let me take over this kind of thing, and you don't think about my personality and that woman can live under the same roof! You don't think about it either! "

Shao Kuancheng's face was sullen and he stopped talking.Although he has never met Professor Wan's wife, he knows that it is because of this woman that Professor Wan caused the unfortunate fate of Hong Yu and her mother—a young mother who alone gave birth to a child without a father. Very unfortunate. That night, Shao Kuancheng watched the midnight replay of "Lecture Forum on Tang History" again. Professor Wan on the screen was still elegant and elegant. In this lecture, he described the starting point of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. This starting point is that Tang Minghuang Li Longji, with the assistance of his brother Ning Wang Li Xian, his wife Wang Huang, and Wang Huang's elder brother Wang Shouyi, got rid of Princess Taiping, King's Landing The day of the world.From that day on, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty monopolized the court and changed the year to Kaiyuan.The Kaiyuan era lasted more than 20 years, known as the Kaiyuan Prosperity in history, and it was the most prosperous period in ancient Chinese history.

In this year, Tang Xuanzong met a woman. This woman is the Wu family, and this Wu family is the niece and grandson that Wu Zetian raised. It is said that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw this girl among the court ladies dancing with the banquet at the birthday banquet for the queen.Calculated according to the time of Wu Zetian's death and Tang Xuanzong's ascension to the throne, the Wu family should be about seventeen years old at that time. It is said that Tang Xuanzong suddenly sent an order to Wu to enter the Daming Palace one night after seeing Wu for a few days. It is said that the Wu family was conferred the title of Jieyu a few days after being proclaimed.

Jieyu ranks third in the harem, slightly lower than Zhaorong and Cairen, but she is qualified to serve the king.The fact that the Wu family was granted the title of Jieyu shocked the government and the public, not because a court lady with a very low status was promoted exceptionally, nor because the incident happened suddenly and the procedure was simplified, but because this girl was a blood relative who was raised by Wu Zetian himself! In the previous decades, Wu Zetian ruled the dynasty dictatorially, praised and demoted the emperor Li among the hands, and finally abolished the Tang Dynasty to stand on his own and replaced him.Although things have passed, the environment has not changed. The historical nightmare is unbearable to look back on.Therefore, when the Wu family returned to the harem to show their positions, there was a sudden criticism and public opinion in the court hall and in the palace!

The one who was most disturbed by Wu's conferment was, of course, Queen Wang. Originally, Queen Wang was the head of the harem. She was not only the wife of the emperor, but also made great contributions to Xuanzong's coup. No one could shake her status.Even if the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, the right and the wrong will be orderly, so as not to put the cart before the horse.The emperor's taking a concubine is not a problem at all, but the Wu family is talented and beautiful like a fairy, it is inevitable to be favored, and it is only natural for the empress to not be calm.

What's more, the biggest hidden worry of the queen is that her knees are desolate, and she has been with the king for many years, but she has never given birth to a son or daughter, which is very embarrassing.Her elder brother secretly summoned the well-known alchemists into the palace for her, and presented a handle of "Thunderbolt wood", which is called a sacred tree, and asked her to engrave the name of the emperor on the wood, burn incense and worship three times a day, and promised that it would be true for her son. Queen Wang secretly summoned alchemists to the palace three times to listen to the teachings, but she never dared to enshrine the sacred tree. It was because of the ban on witches in this dynasty, and all the ways to hate victory were discussed as bewitching by sorcery, which is a crime and can be killed.As the honor of the country, the queen is the mother of the world, how can she break the law!Therefore, Queen Wang was very cautious and hesitated again and again, not daring to act rashly.

Later, it happened that the Wu family was granted the title. The emperor didn't give a word of notice about this matter in advance, and he didn't give a word of explanation afterwards. The imperial edict was issued very suddenly.The emperor has conferred talented concubines before, but this time it seems to be different.Queen Wang couldn't figure out why she was afraid and why she was uneasy.Is it just because Wu's beauty overwhelms the country?It doesn't seem to be the case; or is it because the Wu family is the grandson of the Queen of Heaven?Not really.A woman's intuition is often very effective, even if she can't tell why. Regarding the debate about whether Wu Zetian's blood relatives can serve the current emperor, Wang and Empress did not participate, and it is inconvenient to participate.But she can express her dissatisfaction through her silence, her face when she is silent, and let her relatives and party members know her worry and resentment. Professor Wan believes that at the beginning of the Kaiyuan period, the attitude towards the Wu family almost became a political boundary at that time, and the emperor hated all opponents, even the empress.Many years later, Queen Wang was deposed as a commoner, and then died. Perhaps the reason was her face at this time, her "silence" at this time.Between husband and wife, the complexion cannot be concealed, and it is impossible for the emperor not to see it. Zhao Hongyu's pulse was always felt by Shao Kuancheng, but this time, he was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Zhao Hongyu would be strong and have a sense of honor, so she would definitely take over this task, complete this task, and regard this task as the last honor of a policeman before retiring.But this time Shao Kuancheng's judgment was inaccurate. He didn't expect that Zhao Hongyu had been away from the team for more than ten days, and he was thousands of miles away. Shao Kuancheng was quite disappointed and helpless.Fortunately, the captain discussed other plans with Li Jin before talking to Zhao Hongyu.In other words, they didn't want to force Zhao Hongyu, and they had already made double preparations.The leaders are not reluctant, so why should he. He hardly spoke to Zhao Hongyu during dinner at night, not because he was angry, but because he wanted to express his dissatisfaction weakly.Zhao Hongyu is not afraid of Shao Kuancheng's noise, but Shao Kuancheng's boredom.When Shao Kuancheng was silent, the atmosphere between the two was particularly uncomfortable. That night Shao Kuancheng went to bed without reading English, feeling very tired.But just as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by his mobile phone—the criminal police’s mobile phone cannot be turned off for 24 hours—he checked the caller ID, got out of bed with his clothes on, and went out with sleepy eyes. He saw Zhao Hongyu standing Waiting for him in the yard. Shao Kuancheng's mouth was astringent, and he asked inarticulately: "What time is it, why don't you sleep?" Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, then asked: "I heard that Li Jin asked you to be the team leader, or the secretary?" Shao Kuancheng didn't know what she wanted to say, so he frowned and replied, "Secretary, what's wrong?" Zhao Hongyu said, "Congratulations." Shao Kuancheng said, "Don't! I have goosebumps all over the floor!" Zhao Hongyu said: "Then shall I call you Brother or Secretary Shao from now on?" Shao Kuancheng said, "What do you mean, can I accept it?" Zhao Hongyu said: "I really respect you, can't I be your dick, can't I be your 'wide fan'?" Shao Kuancheng said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, there is no need to be so connotative." Zhao Hongyu said: "Then I'll call you brother." Shao Kuancheng frowned: "Say something quickly! It's in the middle of the night!" Zhao Hongyu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, do you really want me to go?" "Where are you going?" "Take that mission." "I have no right to hope..." Zhao Hongyu interrupted him: "If you wish, I will go." Shao Kuancheng said: "This is not something I wish or wish not to do. If it was my personal matter, I would not beg you..." Zhao Hongyu interrupted him again: "Don't pretend to be calm! I'll just ask you personally! I hate men like you the most. You always want to make it look like you don't owe anyone anything." Shao Kuancheng looked at Zhao Hongyu for a moment, and said, "Although this mission is not too dangerous, since you don't want to ask your father, you don't have to go." Zhao Hongyu said: "It doesn't matter what your name is! Shao Kuancheng, you are the best, I don't know what you think, so just stop pretending, and just call you Shao in the future!" After Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, she turned around resentfully, and walked back to her room while muttering: "Fuck, you can pretend!"Her voice may have been a little louder in the previous few words, which aroused Shao Kuancheng's mother and came out to question her son. "What's the matter, did you quarrel with Hong Yu? Can't you just let her go!" Shao Kuancheng was a little irritable: "It's not noisy." Mother asked: "Then why?" Shao Kuancheng said: "I persuaded her to live at his father's house, but she didn't want to go." The mother scolded: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs. She won't go if she doesn't want to go. Why are you persuading me! You child has been stupid since childhood!" According to Professor Wan, the Wu family gave birth to a boy in the year Daming Palace was bestowed!This is a big deal in the whole harem! Queen Wang knew the news when she was watching acrobatics in the imperial garden.Her confidants whispered in her ear, saying that the emperor had gone to Huining Palace, and the emperor was full of joy... Queen Wang's face was gloomy, she didn't say a word, she waited silently until a juggling was over, then she turned sleepy and drove back to the palace.The first thing she did after returning to the palace was to meet King Xuan Shouyi.Wang Shouyi is not only her elder brother, but also her aide in discussing major issues, and her political buddy. There is no doubt that Wu's birth of a prince will play an extremely important role in consolidating and improving his position in imperial politics.So Wang Shouyi had no choice but to bring up the matter discussed by the alchemist again, begging the queen to enshrine the sacred tree for the safety and well-being of Wang's family, and begging his son to retain the throne.He had a long secret talk with the queen in the Qianyang Palace, and Tian Mu just retreated.But judging from the later situation, the queen did not adopt his proposition. A few days after that, taking advantage of the emperor's visit to Xianyang, Queen Wang went to visit Huaqing Hot Spring in the suburbs of Chang'an, Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, King Guang Li Ju, and Wang Shouyi accompanied them by order.This outing marked the formal formation of a powerful political group headed by Wang and Empress.The favor of the Wu family and the birth of the Wu family not only impacted the status of the queen, but also posed a threat to the crown prince's position and the vested interests of other princes.Therefore, there is no urgency to unite, and an alliance is inevitable. Shao Kuancheng is often puzzled that many things in reality, once the time has passed, the details are very vague.Then, how could Professor Wan and other scholars speak so concretely and vividly about what happened one or two thousand years ago?Time and place, details and words, how come they seem to be experienced and so lifelike?Regarding the secret affairs of the palace in Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Professor Wan can not only tell about the "outing in Huaqing", but also knows that the informants of Qianyang Palace quickly infiltrated the inside story of Huining Palace.Everything that happened in Huining Palace can be secretly reported to the Queen's ears on the same day... Which history book has such a detailed account, how did the person who wrote the book know these secrets that should have been carefully hidden, and made them known to the public? ? Who can explain the vast history? Shao Kuancheng thinks that those well-educated historians study success and failure, prosperity and decline every day, study the various honors and disgraces of the predecessors, life and death feelings, as well as the laws of history and human instinct.So, are historians omnipotent to be humane and understand the world?Are they all a group of people who know the most about life? For Professor Wan, history is not only a subject of knowledge, an interest, and a career. In fact, history is almost everything about Professor Wan. His status, reputation, identity, and wealth all stem from this, and it is his entire career and life. . He has long liked and is used to being called a famous historian, a famous cultural relic expert, a famous collector and so on.He is keen to speak freely on mass media such as TV and accept applause.Xijing TV's famous program "Tang History Lecture Forum" has had a huge impact on his public popularity. Since he boarded this platform, the name Wan Zhenggang has gradually become a household name. Professor Wan, who has always been a lonely scholar, has become a famous scholar overnight. celebrity! The wide house he lived in was bought with a loan a few years ago. After becoming a celebrity, he may be able to repay the loan ahead of schedule in a few years with only the income from giving lectures or being a guest, and he will be debt-free.Today's Professor Wan has begun to enjoy the most beautiful stage of his life - success and fame, numerous books, rich collection... When he is about to enter old age, he has finally become a rich man!And, after he got all this, he found his daughter who had been separated for many years, and he made up for his past moral mistakes, and he was relieved of his heavy spiritual burden.In particular, when his daughter finally knocked on his door with her own luggage after rejecting it for half a month, it marked that the grievances of more than 20 years were cancelled, that he had his own flesh and blood relatives, and that With his career wealth, there may be successors from now on. The only incongruity was his wife. When Lin Baiyu opened the door and saw Zhao Hongyu standing at the door carrying a suitcase, her expression and posture were very stiff.Such expressions and gestures are enough to embarrass anyone, enough to make anyone stop there.Although he and his daughter have known each other for less than half a month, Professor Wan has already felt that her daughter's character is stubborn, and it is difficult to swallow her anger.But to Professor Wan's surprise and deep relief, his daughter walked into Lin Baiyu's house despite Lin Baiyu's expression. He was very happy, although the room had been prepared for his daughter, but his daughter's sudden arrival still caught him off guard.Hot water bottle, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush... and so on, many items are not in place.Professor Wan never cared about the little things in the family life, and it was the first time he scolded Xiao Liu for these small things: Didn’t I tell you a long time ago, why didn’t I prepare everything... Xiao Liu Yitong defended: I prepared the thermos bottle, it’s Aunt Lin I used it, the floor drain in the bathroom of this room has long been blocked, and the property has not come to repair it... Xiao Liu's resentment is beyond words, but fortunately she will resign soon.This family has become more and more complicated because of Hong Yu's joining. It is really too difficult to be a "servant" in this family, and it must be their punching bag. Unfortunately, Professor Wan was about to go on a business trip just after his daughter moved into the house.The State Administration of Cultural Heritage held an archaeological seminar in Luoyang, and he was scheduled to attend the seminar as a special guest.Although he could ask for leave, after careful consideration, he decided to attend the invitation as scheduled.Participating in meetings organized by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage marks a kind of seniority, a status, and a kind of honor in the archaeological and historical circles. It is disrespectful to ask for leave.Release the pigeons of the national bureau, and people will not invite you in the future.If the national bureau does not invite you, you will soon be marginalized in the academic circle, so it is not worth it.So he repeatedly told Xiao Liu to take good care of his daughter, and promised Lin Baiyu to buy her a car as soon as possible to balance her unhappiness. He was in a hurry, but he still invited his daughter to Xijing Hotel for a meal alone. It was not only a welcome, but also to talk to his daughter about her future arrangements—going abroad, studying, future aspirations, and so on.He also wanted to hear his daughter's thoughts and vision for his career.But what his daughter first proposed was an immediate arrangement, a plan that surprised him very much. "What, you want to work in Lin Tao's company? How do you know Lin Tao?" "I met Lin Tao when Aunt Lin came back from the United States last time. Didn't you also say last time that I bought the chair I was sitting on from him? Isn't his company quite famous in Xijing?" His daughter has a really good memory. He got that Ming Dynasty huanghuali small armchair from Lin Tao at a price of 1.6 million yuan, but he raised objections to his daughter's idea. "You're going to school soon, besides..." My daughter knew what he was going to say: "It's still some time before I leave school, and even if I go to the United States, I still have to go through a lot of procedures. I want to use this time to find a company to experience it first, so as to increase the feeling of actual work." "Then why do you want to go to Lin Tao's company?" "Didn't you say last time that your assets are mainly antiques? You asked me to learn asset management, so I will focus on learning the management of the antique industry. It should be useful in the future." Professor Wan was naturally relieved that his daughter could say this, and he said: "Of course you think so. Well, since you live at home, I can teach you about antiques on a daily basis, and there is no need to rush to learn about management in this area." .Even if you study, it’s not certain whether you will go to Lin Tao’s company or not. We’ll talk about it when I come back from a business trip.” Professor Wan is in a good mood. His daughter is back home. She will not only live with him in the future, but perhaps also have a common career.His wife, Lin Baiyu, has never been interested in his career, nor does she have the ability to do so.And the daughter seemed different.My daughter is young, malleable, interested in management, and she is also the type who dares to manage and can manage in temperament.So Professor Wan was in a good mood when he left the mansion.Although Lin Baiyu didn't come out of her room to see him off, her daughter helped him carry the suitcase out of the gate, loaded it into the car, and waved him off. Professor Wan is in a good mood! When Professor Wan left the house, Lin Baiyu was not in her room. She quietly followed the nanny Xiao Liu into the storage room in the basement.The moment she slammed the door of the storage room, Xiao Liu was so frightened that he screamed.Xiao Liu hugged the useless things she had just collected from Zhao Hongyu's room, turned her head in horror, and saw her employer Lin Baiyu standing in the shadow of the door of the storage room. In Xiao Liu's memory, Lin Baiyu had never entered this storage room, Lin Baiyu had never had such a pale face, and their master and servant had never had such a strange look at each other. Lin Baiyu's voice was also unfamiliar. In this airtight basement, it sounded a bit distant and hollow. "Xiao Liu, what did Professor Wan tell you these two days?" Xiao Liu stared stupidly, a little dazed: "Professor Wan, I didn't say anything..." "Didn't he talk about his daughter? Didn't he take his illegitimate daughter home?" Xiao Liu nodded, but was still at a loss: "Oh, Professor Wan didn't say anything, he asked me to take away the useless things in the guest room upstairs, and asked me to take the driver, Master Wang, to his daughter's place tomorrow to bring her books. Didn't say anything else." Lin Baiyu was silent for a while, took a deep breath of sadness, and said to herself: "She is the child born before Professor Wan got married. Their father and daughter have never been in contact with each other. They are so old, what kind of relationship can they have with her father! " Xiao Liu blinked and said, "However, Professor Wan seems to have feelings for his daughter and cares about him. After all, she is his biological daughter." Xiao Liu probably forgot a common sense: not having children, not being able to have children, is the great pity of all women in the world, and it is also a taboo of Lin Baiyu.Lin Baiyu's face turned even paler, and she could hardly answer.The country people are indeed too straightforward, and Xiao Liu actually added another sentence: "Professor Wan really spends money on her, isn't that considered affection?" Only then did Lin Baiyu make a sound: "How did he spend money for her...?" Xiao Liu said: "Professor Wan told her not to bring anything with her. If she said she needed anything, he would buy her something new." Lin Baiyu asked again: "What else did Professor Wan say?" "I also said that I would give her all the property and let her take care of it." "Give it all to her?" Lin Baiyu's voice was stuck in his throat as if he was seriously ill: "When... did you say that?" "That's what Professor Wan said when I went to his daughter's house with Professor Wan last time." "What about property?" "Professor Wan asked his daughter to learn management well, and said that he would give her all the property after learning it. Absolutely!" Lin Baiyu was stunned for a long time.Xiao Liu thought she was really sick, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Baiyu's voice was like a dream: "Xiao Liu, tell me, is Auntie treating you well?" Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment: "For me... Auntie is okay with me." Lin Baiyu said: "Then are you willing to help Auntie?" Xiao Liu has been in Wan's house for three years, and he has never seen such a pleading gaze from the hostess.She nodded subconsciously, then shook her head subconsciously: "Yes, but I have to go home after this month. The family has engaged me and urged me every day. I can get the bride price when I go home. Get the bride price You can heal my brother." This time Lin Baiyu answered quickly: "I can make you get married in a dignified way, and let your brother have money for medical treatment. I can guarantee that you will live a happy life!" This time it was Xiao Liu's turn to be speechless. She stared at Lin Baiyu's face and carefully watched the expression on that face.She wanted to see whether the promises made by the hostess were true or not, and what kind of happiness the hostess called "happiness". She seemed to have just discovered that the reason why Lin Baiyu's face was pale was because he didn't have makeup on. She had never noticed that the hostess was so old when Fendai was not in use!
