A knife in love

Chapter 3008

When everyone heard the old man in gray say this, everyone was horrified. The old man in green robe, the short fat man, and the man in yellow shirt even stared at the jade scale on the counter, as if they were afraid of it. disappeared.The old man in gray went on to say: "Mr. Yu took the jade scale from the woman in Chinese clothes, and the woman in Chinese clothes sent him out of the hall in person. The little yellow man who attracted Mr. Yu earlier was already waiting outside the gate of the hall." , Seeing the two people walking out of the hall, they immediately came forward and bowed to the woman in Chinese clothes. The woman in Chinese clothes told him to send Mr. Yu back, and he must be careful on the way so that there would be no mistakes. Xiao Huangmen respectfully agreed With a sound, the woman in Chinese clothes walked back to the main hall, and then turned around and asked Mr. Yu to leave with him. Mr. Yu was puzzled, and there were many things he wanted to ask, but Xiao Huangmen kept urging him, claiming that the rules here are very strict, and he must not miss it It's time, otherwise catastrophe will be imminent. Mr. Yu had no choice but to nod his head, followed the little yellow gate, and left the hall in a daze.

"Mr. Yu is usually quick-witted and sophisticated, very shrewd, but at this time he was in a daze, as if he was drunk. Therefore, after he followed the little yellow gate and left the hall, he couldn't remember the situation at all. Until he passed by a Stone bridge, Xiaohuangmen suddenly screamed, yelling that there is a big golden fish under the bridge. Mr. Yu was surprised, so he walked to the bridge and looked under the bridge. But Mr. Yu leaned forward, his head Just when he got out of the bridge railing, the little yellow door suddenly pushed hard behind him, and immediately pushed Mr. Yu off the stone bridge. Mr. Yu fell straight into the river, terrified in his heart, let out a cry, and suddenly opened his eyes , Only then did he realize that he was still sitting on the chair in the study, and it was just a big dream.

"After Mr. Yu woke up, he only said that he had a nightmare. He didn't pay attention to the situation in the dream, and wrote a few random words, and then went back to the bedroom to rest. Two years later, he took the imperial examination. In the exam, he won the Juren, was appointed by the emperor to the Hanlin Academy, and went to the Hanlin Academy to become a good scholar. The Hanlin editor Zhu Mou, who had been drinking together in the Hejian Mansion, has been sent to Shandong to be the magistrate. The two did not meet. But Mr. Yu had already forgotten the dispute at the banquet that day, even if he met Zhu, he would not be embarrassed.

"Mr. Yu worked as a concubine in the Imperial Academy for two years, and then became a doctor in the Ministry of Officials. Three years later, Mr. Yu was released from Beijing and became the magistrate in Xi'an. It was not until this time that Mr. Yu remembered that he was a I finally knew what the beautiful woman in the dream meant by the prefect of Chang'an, and I was quite moved. Mr. Yu served as the magistrate in Chang'an for several years, and he was respected by the people. Zhuo Yi, the emperor handpicked him to return to the capital to serve as the Minister of the Household Department. Finally, he served as the Minister of the Household Department and returned to his hometown. All kinds of experiences in his life. I don't know what happened later. This book was scattered from the Yu family, and finally reached the hands of the Fang family's ancestors. It became one of the thousands of volumes in the Fang family's collection. Bao Xi accidentally saw it in his study, and he was so scared that he almost passed out."

The gray-clothed old man sighed at this point, and continued: "Actually, when I heard Bao Xi narrate this matter, the old man was also in shock, thinking that there is no such a coincidence in the world? But Bao Xi swore that if there was a half-sentence False words, let him be struck dead by lightning immediately. Seeing his appearance like this, the old man naturally dare not say a word. Bao Xi thought that he and Mr. Yu had both spoken good words for Wu Zetian, and was sensed by Wu Zetian's dead soul, so he sent Shangguan Wan'er came to invite him. It's just that by chance, Mr. Yu got Wu Zetian's help, and he was very successful in his official career. His luck was too bad, and he only got 50 taels of silver. Speaking of this, Bao Xi sighed and looked extremely depressed.

"The old man comforted Bao Xi, and then asked where the jade scale Shangguan Wan'er gave Mr. Yu went. Bao Xi shook his head repeatedly, and said in his mouth, I'm afraid my brother may be wrong, the one Shangguan Wan'er gave Mr. Yu It is an official position, not Yucheng. The old man was at a loss when he heard Bao Xi say this. Bao Xi continued, after reading Zhang Yuan Congji, he was horrified, and he kept his heart on the deeds of Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er. The Fang family borrowed many Tang notes and history books written by later generations to read carefully, wanting to know why Xia and Mr. Yu had such a strange encounter. According to these books, Shangguan Wan’er’s grandfather, Shangguanyi, was born after Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to the throne. , used to be a prime minister, but he offended Wu Zetian and was killed by Wu Zetian in the end. His family was confiscated into the palace and served as a servant. Shangguan Wan'er was clever and extremely careful in the palace, and she actually won Wu Zetian's favor and became Wu Zetian's close personal Maid. Although she is a family member of the guilty minister, she served Wu Zetian carefully, and finally became Wu Zetian's confidant, helping Wu Zetian do many confidential things.

"Although Shangguan Wan'er is Wu Zetian's confidant, she is extremely smart, and secretly made good friends with Prince Li Xian and others. Zhang Jianzhi and others launched the Shenlong coup, put Wu Zetian under house arrest, and helped Li Xian return. It stands to reason that Shangguan Wan'er She is Wu Zetian's confidant, so she should be killed, but Zhongzong Li Xian said that Shangguan Wan'er had the heart to do anything wrong, not only didn't blame her, but worshiped Shangguan Wan'er as Zhaorong, and she was in charge of drafting imperial edicts. Zhongzong Trust.

"At that time Zhongzong Lixian's empress Webster wanted to follow Wu Zetian and become an empress herself. Shangguan Wan'er saw her ambition and flattered her, and became Empress Wei's confidant. Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong, thought that Shangguan Wan'er was talented in literature, so he authorized her to appraise the world's famous literary scholars on behalf of the imperial court, known as "weighing the world's scholars". And because Shangguan Wan'er was in charge of drafting edicts for many years, she was secretly called by many officials 'Heroine Prime Minister'.

"In order to win Shangguan Wan'er to work hard for her, Empress Wei specially invited a master craftsman to make a jade scale with a piece of priceless jade, and rewarded Shangguan Wan'er as a show of favor. This jade scale is rare in the world All the officials were amazed and praised. Later Zhongzong Li Xian was poisoned to death by Queen Wei, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji joined forces with Princess Taiping to kill Wei and Wu's party. Naturally, Shangguan Wan'er would not be spared. , showing her head to the public, and a generation of talented women fell away.

"After the death of Shangguan Wan'er, the jade scale disappeared. It is said that during the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, this rare treasure once appeared in Jingzhou, causing a big disturbance. Many thieves, green forest thieves, and even government officials all robbed this treasure. And died, and finally the jade scale disappeared. In the following hundreds of years, many people tried hard to find the jade scale, but in the end it was all in vain. On the contrary, many people went bankrupt and died without a place to bury.

"Bao Xi sighed at this point, and then said that Shangguan Wan'er said that she gave the jade scale to Mr. Yu, implying that Mr. Yu will go to Chang'an to become an official, and she did not want to give it as a gift. I will share with Mr. Yu The experience is the same, but I only got 50 taels of silver, and then the examination is still not going well, isn’t it God’s will?!”
