Training Wu Zhou

Chapter 57: One person's palace exam

Tang Guan walked out of the palace in a daze, Chen Yunsheng saw it from afar, and immediately stepped forward, seeing two red marks on his face, he couldn't help being startled, and asked: "Qu Bing, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Guan shook his head slightly, ignored Chen Yunsheng, and walked towards the carriage.

Seeing this, Chen Yunsheng also followed, until the carriage drove away, Tang Guan said: "Uncle, I may not be able to go back"

"What!?" Chen Yunsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, but Tang Guan slowly closed his eyes, pondering.

......

Daming Palace.

Liu Jingxian held the article in his hand with a solemn face. It was made by Tang Guan within a stick of incense. Guo Shiju looked at the content on the side and hadn't recovered.

Wu Zhao suddenly said: "Submit this "Discussion for Rebellion" to the Ministry of Industry for engraving, and distribute it to various workshops in Chang'an."

As soon as she finished speaking, she said again: "Order the scouts to expedite the eight hundred li, and send it to the old minister's camp after printing."

The two looked at Wu Zhao at the same time when they heard the sound, and saw that she had no expression on her face, as if she was ordering a very ordinary thing, but there was a storm in their hearts.

They knew that once this article was circulated, the rebel army would probably be defeated without a fight. For a while, the two of them froze in place until Wu Zhao said again: "Two elders, let's do it."

Guo Shiju looked at Liu Jingxian, saw him nodding slightly, and the two bowed and said, "I respect the imperial decree."

After all, he took the article and turned to leave.

It wasn't until the two of them left the hall that Wu Zhao slowly got up.

"I thought you were just a lion, but I didn't expect you to be a dragon. Tang Qubing, please don't let me down on you."

Wu Zhao walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back, muttering, but unfortunately no one could hear his words.

The door was opened by the guards, and Wu Zhao went out of the hall.

With a wave of his big sleeve, he said: "Show the Zichen Palace"

Everyone bowed in response, Wu Zhao slowly boarded the holy chariot, and the team slowly drove to another palace.

The Zichen Hall is the seat of the inner court. It is generally used to summon the ministers of various ministries and the prime ministers of the cabinet. Those who can enter this place are also called entering the cabinet.

The team stopped slowly, Wu Zhao got off the chariot, looked at the palace in front of him, a rare hesitation flashed, and then started to walk towards the palace.

Seeing this, the guards pushed open the door of the hall, Wu Zhao entered the hall, sat down and said, "Xuan summon the Minister of Rites to enter the hall."

Hearing this, the inner supervisor hurriedly ran out of the door to order the guards, and then the man walked away, disappearing around the corner in a few breaths.

Wu Zhao in the palace had no intention of caring about him, she only knew that she was about to break the code of ethics again, the Minister of Rites was in charge of the imperial examinations, and Wu Zetian attached great importance to the imperial examinations, so this person was naturally her confidant, but Tang Guan knew who this person was, It was Wu Zhao's nephew Wu Chengsi.

A guy who climbed to the position of prime minister through nepotism, but still wants to be a prince, has always been the object of Tang Guan's insinuation. In fact, Tang Guan began to search for this person as early as in the middle of the court, but after all, he was a newcomer and couldn't tell the difference. Various officials.

While Wu Zetian was meditating, she actually showed her son-daughter attitude, propping her chin with one hand on the case, but fortunately there were no attendants around.

After a long time, a person entered the hall in a hurry, but it was a middle-aged man with a goatee beard, and his face was rather wretched. After entering the hall, he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "My minister sees the Queen of Heaven!"

It was Wu Chengsi who came, and seeing that his slogan was louder now than in the early court, after shouting, he secretly looked at Wu Zhao.

Seeing that Wu Zhao ignored him and was still thinking secretly, he just knelt on the ground without making a sound.

After a long time, Wu Zhao said softly, "Chengsi, get up!"

Wu Chengsi was overjoyed when he heard the words. It was rare for Wu Zhao to address him so kindly. He was overjoyed immediately and stood up, but still bowed his body.

If Tang Guan was here, he would definitely ridicule him. This person has little knowledge and courage, and he is very skillful in flattery and flattery. Just looking at the historical materials, one can see that this person is a real villain. Before and after Zhao became emperor, this person has contributed a lot.

Wu Zhao looked at Wu Chengsi, who had already been screened out at this time, and Wu Chengsi secretly wondered why Wu Zhao summoned him at this time.

"Is there a palace test in this dynasty?"

Wu Chengsi was taken aback when he heard the words. He thought Wu Zhao was trying to say something, and immediately reacted and shouted: "The Empress of Heaven is a virtuous and holy man. Relying on the power of the Empress of Heaven, there will be a large number of talented people in the palace examination!"

Wu Zhao remained silent when he heard the words, then raised his head and asked, "Then is there any evidence in this court that the imperial examination is only held for one person?"

Wu Chengsi didn't finish listening to what he said, so he wanted to sing praises, but he stopped immediately and froze in place.

Although he mainly relied on Wu Zetian's nepotism to make a fortune, he is not a fool. He has been an official for many years and practice makes perfect. As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he is familiar with various etiquettes, but he didn't know how to answer when he heard this at first.

After a long time, I questioned whether I had heard it wrong, and asked in a low voice, "One person?"

Only then did he raise his head and look at Wu Zhao seriously. Seeing Wu Zhao nodding slowly, his heart trembled.

He didn't know what Wu Zhao's motivation was for asking this question, but he suddenly thought of a person, and that was Tang Guan, who was very popular nowadays.

"Could it be..." Wu Chengsi's heart moved, and he looked at Wu Zhao's expression again. Seeing that she didn't seem to be asking casually, he immediately pondered.

"Yes or not?" Seeing his silence, Wu Zhao asked again.

Wu Chengsi was quite clever, and he heard the words and said: "Etiquette is determined by the royal family, and the Queen of Heaven will have it."

"Haha, Chengsi, I didn't misunderstand you." Wu Zhao heard the words and Longyan was delighted. Although she knew that Wu Chengsi had no great talent and had a lot of eyes, what she needed now was not only useful talents like Tang Guan Well, Wu Chengsi, who is not only a blood confidant, but also flattering, is also a weight for her to build momentum.

When Wu Chengsi heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, then terrified, and thought to himself: "Could it be because of that Tang Qubing, since the Queen of Heaven values ​​him, just give him an official position, why go around and abolish the Zhou Zhang?" "

But he didn't know what Wu Zhao was thinking, the emperor's art was aimed at controlling people, Wu Zhao pierced Tang Guan's face with blood, and he wanted to give him a sweet date to replenish blood, as for whether this date was satisfactory to Tang Guan, Wu Zhao I don't know.

She compares people to horses. She wants to ride Tang Guan, a fast horse, to win the country. The so-called good horse with a good saddle, what name scholars in the world want most, she knows very well, it is nothing more than a word.

"Zhuang Yuan!"

Moreover, in her opinion, even if Tang Guan is a talented person with great ambition, he is still just a child. As long as he is trained properly, he can be much stronger than these half-way veterans.

This point can be seen from Wu Zhao's favor for Shangguan Wan'er. After all, the child has a weak heart, even if he has abused him, in Wu Zhao's mind, as long as he gives him unexpected benefits, he can take it for his own use.

She didn't know that Tang Guan was different from that eternal woman, his talent came from his special soul, and it was good that she didn't insult him, but now Tang Guan had a grudge in his heart, and it was extremely difficult to erase, until Wu Zhao later found out Realized this, unfortunately it was too late.

Of course, this is all for later. Seeing Wu Zhao laughing, Wu Chengsi was a little at a loss.

After Wu Zhao laughed, he slapped the table and said, "Okay, now you call the servants in the department and choose a day to hold a palace examination for Tang Qubing!"

"Ah!" Even though he had expected it, Wu Chengsi still couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

"What? Do you still have objections?"

Wu Chengsi opened his mouth, swallowed it back, and said bravely: "Dare to ask who the master teacher and supervisor are?"

"The main teacher is naturally Zhen, and the supervision is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"Ah!" Wu Chengsi exclaimed loudly this time. Seeing this, Wu Zhao gave a cold look, and immediately knelt down on the ground: "I respectfully obey the imperial decree!"

"Student of the Son of Heaven!" Wu Chengsi secretly cried out in his heart.

He has spent his whole life studying how to please this woman, but now seeing Tang Guan come and go, he is greatly favored. First, aside from his own unbelievable talent, he who has been flattering him all his life can't catch up with Tang Guan, can't help but wonder. What did Guan do to please this woman so favorably.

"Do it right away. Four days later, I want Tang Qubing's name engraved on Zhuangyuanfang!"

Wu Zhao got up and flicked his sleeves, Wu Chengsi knelt on the ground with mixed feelings, "What's the point of this test, you can just seal him!"

Even though he said so, Wu Zhao broke the rules many times, bowed down immediately, got up and left.

Wu Zhao watched his leaving back with a strange smile on his lips.

......

In the ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites has four departments, Li, Secretary, Meal, Guest, in charge of imperial examinations, architecture, rites and music, diplomacy, etc. This is a hodgepodge department, except for military power, it can manage everything, from the emperor's daily trivial matters, down to ordinary people's clothing .

The imperial examination is undoubtedly the highlight of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, the department is full of officials, and the leader is naturally Wu Chengsi. At this time, his eyes are half-opened and half-closed, listening to the chatter of his colleagues.

"Shang Shu! This is absolutely impossible!"

Finally someone spoke to him, he opened his eyes and looked at the person who spoke, it was the Minister of Rites.

Some of these officials looked down on him, and he knew it. Wu Chengsi immediately said: "This is the order of the Queen of Heaven. There is nothing wrong with it. I asked you to come to discuss what to do. It is not necessary."

The assistant minister was dumbfounded when he heard the words, this Wu Chengsi was flattering before and after, and he had a steady stream of photos, and the Queen of Heaven would do whatever she wanted.

The palace examination has already broken the rules, and now it is even more ridiculous to hold the palace examination for only one person.

"There are only four days to distribute things, notify the ministers, manage the ranks, and communicate with the ministries, and there will be a few laborers."

After all, Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and turned around to leave the department, leaving the people in the department to look at each other in blank dismay.
