Chapter 293 Talented Wu Meiniang

Wu Meiniang's words made Li Chengdao feel very dissatisfied.

But Wu Meiniang's expression did not change, and she continued: "Why should your Majesty worry about hurting the feelings of the emperor and his ministers? Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and your Majesty's words are your absolute will. Which minister your Majesty likes more, just prefer him."

"If a minister dares to be dissatisfied or resentful of His Majesty's decision, then such a minister may be rebellious."

"In my slave's opinion, Your Majesty should be kind and powerful at the same time, but Your Majesty is now more benevolent and less powerful. Your Majesty is the only god in the Tang Dynasty. How can you influence your own will based on the thoughts or opinions of your ministers?"

Although Wu Meiniang's words were plain, there was an unspeakable domineering quality contained in them.

Gao Huai's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he wished he could go up and give Wu Meiniang some words to shut her up.

But Li Chengdao didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Li Chengdao was also a little surprised by Wu Meiniang's words and couldn't help but look at her twice.

It is unusual for an ordinary woman to be so domineering.

"What you said makes sense, but this matter is very important. It is a family matter. How can I force Diwei to make a decision?"

Li Chengdao shook his head and said that he did not agree with Wu Meiniang's method.

Wu Meiniang didn't seem surprised when she heard Li Chengdao's words, and continued: "In this case, I have a way to solve the problem perfectly without hurting the relationship between the king and his ministers."

"Oh? Tell me and listen."

Li Chengdao's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Why don't Your Majesty go find Empress Xiuyuan? Empress Xiuyuan is the biological mother of Princess Changle and the sister of the eldest grandson Zhongshu.

Your Majesty can ask Empress Xiuyuan to take the initiative to bring up the matter, and then have Changsun Chong and Yue Yun compete to determine the winner, and the winner can marry Princess Changle. "

"Both Changsun Chong and Major General Yue Yun are heroes of our Tang Dynasty. Isn't Empress Xiuyuan happy to see her daughter marry the best between them?"

"No matter what the outcome is, it will not hurt the feelings between His Majesty, General Yue, and Changsun Zhongshu."

Wu Meiniang talked eloquently and came up with the second method.

After hearing this, Li Chengdao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because what Wu Meiniang said is indeed a good solution, as long as Changsun Wugou comes forward to solve the problem, Changsun Chong and Yue Yun will compete with each other, and the winner can marry Li Lizhi.

And in the end, no matter what, it has little to do with him.

"Shan, your idea is very good, I have adopted it."

Li Chengdao couldn't help but feel good after solving a problem on his mind.

Then he turned his attention to Wu Meiniang and asked, "What's your name?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly became energetic, and after giving a salute, she replied: "My name is Wu Meiniang, and she is a beautiful lady who entered the palace three months ago."

"Wu Meiniang?"

Hearing this name, Li Chengdao was suddenly surprised and couldn't help but take a good look at Wu Meiniang in front of him.

The girl in front of me, who looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, is actually the legendary Wu Mei Niang Wu Zetian?
After suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Chengdao asked: "Since you are a beautiful lady, why did you become a palace maid?"

The status of a show girl is higher than that of a palace maid.

Show girls are the attendants of the emperor's concubines and have the opportunity to become concubines; while palace ladies choose to stay in the palace after not selecting show girls.

Gao Huai quickly knelt down and explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the previous maid-in-waiting caught the cold, and the servant couldn't find a suitable maid to replace her, so I chose one of the beautiful ladies to fill in temporarily. Please forgive me! "

After Li Chengdao heard this, he had no intention of blaming Gao Huai.

He looked at Wu Meiniang, thought for a while and said: "You solved this problem for me, I will make you a talented person, and you will continue to be on duty in the imperial study room from now on."

Wu Meiniang was stunned at first, and then she was overjoyed. She held back her excitement and saluted Li Chengdao: "Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Talented and beautiful, these are the lowest concubines of the 72nd generation wife level.But in any case, she can be regarded as a concubine, which is much better than a beautiful woman!
If you become a talented person, you can call yourself a concubine in front of the emperor.

The most important thing is the arrangement of being on duty in the imperial study room. In Wu Meiniang's opinion, this is the biggest reward!

Li Chengdao nodded, looked at Wu Meiniang a few more times, then turned and left the imperial study.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Li Chengdao went directly to Qingli Palace to find Changsun Wugou and told her what happened today.

After listening to what Li Chengdao said, Changsun Wugou was also very surprised.

"That girl doesn't like Chong'er? Does she like Yue Yun?"

Changsun Wujia murmured.

She didn't understand Li Lizhi's actual thoughts.

"I don't know either, but if not, let's choose one between Yue Yun and Changsun Chong to be Changle's husband."

"The two of them compete with each other, and the winner will marry Chang Le. This way, each can rely on his or her own abilities and avoid hurting their feelings."

Li Chengdao suggested.

Changsun Wugou felt that what Li Chengdao said made sense and nodded: "Okay, I will call Chong'er and Yue Yun tomorrow and let them compete."

This kind of thing can only be done in her capacity, and it is not convenient for Li Chengdao to arrange it.

Li Chengdao was relieved after hearing this.

The next day, Changsun Wugou called Changsun Chong and Yue Yun into the palace one after another, and then told them the arrangement of letting them decide who would marry Chang Le based on the results of the competition.

After listening to it, neither of them had any objections.

"I will not give up Changle to you."

Changsun Chong looked directly at Yue Yun with sharp eyes.

"me too!"

Yue Yun met Changsun Chong's eyes without fear, and sparks almost appeared in their eyes.

The competition between men is nothing more than literary talent and martial arts.

The first test is literary talent.

Li Chengdao served as a witness. The two of them each took an examination paper drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and wrote quickly at their desks.

The Four Books and Five Classics, as well as theories on state governance, are all the content of the exam, and are much more practical than some poems and songs.

About an hour later, the two of them finished writing the test papers and then handed them over to Changsun Wuji for correction.

For today's competition, Changsun Wuji and Yue Fei were both present, and they both acquiesced to the competition.

After taking the test papers from the two of them, Changsun Wuji reviewed them carefully and then gave his answer.

"Yue Yunsheng."

Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart and spoke.

Changsun Chong's expression suddenly turned pale. He was now studying at the Royal College of the Tang Dynasty. How could he not be as good as Yue Yun?

"Chong'er, the strategy of governing the country you wrote is too rigid. In comparison, what Yue Yun wrote is more realistic. You lost."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said that he would not favor Changsun Chong just because he was his son.

Changsun Chong pursed his lips tightly when he heard this. Although he was unwilling to give up, he was not discouraged. He stood up directly and said decisively: "Go on, let's compete in martial arts!"
