Pressing the doubts in her heart, Shangguan Wan'er continued to look down, and then the more she looked, the more frightened she became!

Finally, after reading the full text, Shangguan Wan'er angrily slapped the article on the table and asked Zhang Yi loudly where this article came from.

It's no wonder that Shangguan Wan'er is so out of shape, mainly because the surprise brought to her by this "Touching the Dragon and Talking about Empress Dowager Zhao" is too great.

Although the archaeological circles of the Tang Dynasty generally believe that the Warring States Policy is true in history, because archaeologists have found some fragments of bamboo slips from the tombs of nobles in the Qin and Han dynasties, the scholars can only infer that this is a country-specific history book based on Legalist thought based on the limited information recorded on the unearthed bamboo slips.

Now that a complete article of "Warring States Policy" has appeared in front of him, the shock in Shangguan Wan'er's heart can be imagined.

After recovering from the shock of seeing "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" for the first time, the more Shangguan Wan'er thought about it, the more she felt that there was something strange about it, because according to the principle of "no evidence" in the historical circles, if there is really an article such as "Touching the Dragon and Talking about the Empress Dowager Zhao" in the "Warring States Policy" that has been handed down, then there should be more articles handed down.

But in fact, Shangguan Wan'er knew that this was impossible, because it was impossible for this book to escape the cultural catastrophe of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone".

Zhang Yi also knows this, so he doesn't intend to explain.

The biggest difference between the history of this time and space and the history that Zhang Yi is familiar with is not that the Tang Dynasty has become modern, but that there is a cultural fault.

Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, and a large number of pre-Qin classics were lost, including many of Zhang Yi's familiar works in his previous life, including the most famous Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, which did not escape this catastrophe.

Of course, Qin Shi Huang's main target was only Confucianism, but when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", he really swept away the doctrines and classics of other schools, and the first fault line appeared in Chinese civilization so far, and the pre-Qin culture was lost.

The Han Dynasty, including the subsequent Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, finally redeveloped the splendid culture, but the "Five Hu Chaohua" interrupted the inheritance of the Han and Jin cultures, which is the second fault.

The Sui Dynasty re-developed the Chinese civilization, but unfortunately the five dynasties and ten kingdoms overthrew all of them again, which is the third fault.

In the Song Dynasty, the Chinese civilization was revived for the fourth time, but the cultural imprisonment and purges implemented by the subsequent Yuan Dynasty, and there was no China after Yashan, creating the fourth fault line of Chinese civilization.

The Ming Dynasty finally recovered a little vitality, and the Qing Dynasty greatly promoted the literary prison and implemented the policy of fooling the people, which led to a great regression of Chinese civilization, which is the fifth fault.

This is like a sieve, after being sifted down layer by layer, it leads to less than one in ten of the ancient literary works that Zhang Yi was familiar with in his previous life in this time and space.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't have the time or patience to check the authenticity of this article "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao", what she really cared about was Zhang Yi's purpose in writing this article.

"I'm in the mood to write such an article, it seems that the colt still hasn't recognized his current situation, don't pretend, I know you can speak!"

Zhang Yi's hand holding the brush shook, and almost dripped the ink from the tip of the pen onto the paper, and Fei'er and Xiaogu, who were standing at the door, were even more shocked.

After Zhang Yi was rescued ashore, he opened his mouth to speak, only the two of them had already been present at the time, and they didn't even have time to tell Li Bao'er on their side, how did Shangguan Wan'er know?

After stabilizing his mind, Zhang Yi looked at Shangguan Wan'er standing in front of him with some vigilance, and slowly spoke:

"I don't know the name of the distinguished guest. ”

"Shangguan Wan'er!"

What, Shangguan Wan'er?!

Zhang Yi was stunned, he didn't expect that the first historical celebrity he saw after crossing into this modern Tang Dynasty was actually Shangguan Wan'er, who "weighed the corporal of the world" in the history books, and he was alive!

Shangguan Wan'er was not surprised by Zhang Yi's surprised expression at first, although she was a celebrity around Empress Wu, she rarely appeared in public, including not even a single photo of her on the Internet, it was normal for Zhang Yi not to know her.

But soon Shangguan Wan'er felt that something was wrong, because Zhang Yi's expression when she looked at her was not at all the reaction of awe, appreciation, or obsession with these normal men when they saw her, but it was like the expression of a foreigner when he first saw the giant panda, a national treasure of the Tang Dynasty.

The first time someone looked at her like this, Shangguan Wan'er always felt weird.

Am I so strange?

In order to get rid of this strange feeling, Shangguan Wan'er deliberately put on a straight face and said: "The palace believes that the concubine has a great connection with the drowning of the son of the martial housekeeper. ”

"Hehe!" Zhang Yi clasped his hands and sneered.

"Zhang Yizhi, what do you mean!"

"It's not funny, it's just that it suddenly feels funny. ”

"What's so funny?" Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face was cold, obviously really angry.

But Zhang Yi didn't care, and pretended to be dumb for two days, which really suffocated him.

"Shangguan waits for the edict, are you sure that you are really here to investigate the case? I heard for the first time that the palace can interfere with the judiciary, where are you placing the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple in this way?"

The three departments listed by Zhang Yi are also known as the Three Law Divisions in Datang, and their functions and powers are similar to those of the public procuratorate and law on the earth.

Judicial independence is the basic national policy of Datang, and the words that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people are not verbally said in Datang, but has really been implemented, which is also where Zhang Yi's confidence lies in daring to scold Shangguan Wan'er.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er didn't get angry when she heard this, but laughed, "It seems that I really underestimated Master Ma before, you have deceived everyone by pretending to be dumb for so many years, but it turns out that you are a clever person." ”

Zhang Yi didn't deny it, but sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity that it's useless, I've been a dumb person for so many years, and there are still people who refuse to let me go." ”

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yi, thinking that you are still an understanding person after all.

It's just that Zhang Yi's breezy tone made her very unhappy, so she didn't plan to talk nonsense with Zhang Yi anymore.

"You don't have to bring out the three law divisions to scare me, if you really go through the judicial process, will you be okay when you think of yourself?"

"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?"

"What a crime to add to the desire, there is no excuse!" Shangguan Wan'er's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of praise, and at the same time, she felt a little regretful in her heart, "Since the concubine understands this truth, he should know that the outcome of this matter is not something you can control." ”

"Not necessarily, since the palace has sent Shangguan to wait for the edict to come, it means that my attitude is actually very important, otherwise it would be meaningless for the Shangguan to wait for the edict to come!"

"The horse is indeed a smart person, but unfortunately he is too smart, do you really think you are qualified to negotiate conditions with the palace?"

"It's not about conditions, it's about reasoning!"

"What's the truth?"

"Didn't Shangguan wait for the edict just now?"

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and then a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The young man was still a little tender after all, and he spared a circle, and now he is finally willing to admit that "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" is not an ancient text, but an anonymous writing by himself!

"I admit that the horse is well written and the article is beautifully done, but do you know that bullying the king is a big crime! If this article is submitted, if the Queen Mother blames it, the three law divisions will not be able to save you at that time!"

Of course, Zhang Yi would not be frightened by Shangguan Wan'er's fluttering words.

Now that the Queen Mother is wise and martial, the candle shines on the sun and the moon, she will definitely be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and know my heart!"

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but scold Zhang Yi in her heart, shamelessly, what did you say about the crime you wanted to add, where is that arrogant and arrogant attitude?

But right now, Shangguan Wan'er saw Zhang Yi becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, not because of his kung fu, but because of his cleverness.

There are her Shangguan Wan'er's eyes and ears in Jinghu Villa, is there no eyes and ears for the Empress Wu?

Shangguan Wan'er had no doubt that the conversation she had just had with Zhang Yi would be presented to Empress Wu word for word when she turned her head, and obviously Zhang Yi also knew this, so what he said just now was not for himself, but for Empress Wu.

Since this is the case, Shangguan Wan'er is willing to fulfill Zhang Yi, because she also wants to see how Empress Wu will react when she sees this article.
