Li Chen and his mother reached a consensus, and Wu Zetian went to tell the emperor: "I told Yongchang that if Song Jing can enter the top three in the imperial examination, I will intercede for him." ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes widened, and he wanted to have a seizure.

Wu Zetian smiled with his eyebrows, looking at the emperor like a grumpy child. Li Zhi didn't know how many years he hadn't been seen like this by His Royal Highness the Empress, and after being slightly stunned, he stiffened his face, "What are you looking at me like that?" ”

Wu Zetian laughed out loud, "The concubine is looking at the lord, as if she has been robbed of the child she loves." ”

Li Zhi: "......"

The emperor can't say that he has bitterness in his heart, Xiao Yongchang, the most precious in his heart, is going to surrender, from now on, her home is no longer in the Daming Palace, and she can no longer come to her father with a tea set guqin as before...... When the emperor thought of this, he felt bitter in his heart, and if the candidate satisfied him, it would be fine. The problem is that he is also very dissatisfied with Song Jing, Yongchang has not yet surrendered, so he has hollowed out his mind to speak for Song Jing, the emperor thinks it is best not to let him see Song Jing, he sees Song Jing and let him roll away mellowly!

Taking advantage of Li Zhi's speechlessness, Wu Zetian softened his voice and said to Li Zhi: "Lord, since I have been selected for the imperial examination, I have never been selected among those who have not passed the weak crown in the year, let alone the top three. If Song Jing can really enter the top three, it is also the fate of God. ”

The emperor was expressionless, and only muttered in his heart: fate? What kind of broken fate is that? What if God really has a soft spot for Song Jing?

Although the emperor does not squeak, he plays with a straight face. But Wu Zetian knew his thoughts at a glance, and he couldn't help laughing for a while, he was over half a hundred years old, but he didn't expect to be so childish in some things.

Wu Zetian walked behind Li Zhi with a smile, raised his hands and pressed his shoulders for him, "Lord, if it weren't for Song Jing, there would still be a young man next to him to take your heart and soul baby away." ”

Li Zhi: "......"

"But I am very impressed by Di Yushi's words that the young man is strong and the country is strong, Lord, your people rushed to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination, that is, the Lord treats them equally, as long as they are talented and capable, regardless of their origin, they still have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the court and realize their wishes. Since Yongchang is very pleased with Song Jing, why doesn't the Lord put aside his prejudices——"

"Who says I'm biased?"

Wu Zetian: "......"

The emperor and his wife stared at each other, and whoever is unreasonable between the husband and wife wins first, Wu Zetian took a step back and changed his words and said: "Why don't you take the opportunity to see if Song Jing is really so amazing and beautiful, and has the talent to govern the country." If he enters the top three, the Lord will recruit him as a son-in-law, and there is only good and no harm. The dignity of the princess is indescribably noble, Song Jing is a commoner, but the lord doesn't care about his background, but he is willing to marry his daughter to him, this is a very inspiring thing for the world's scholars, and the world's talents will be amazed and admire the master's mind. The country has a Ming monarch, the people are fortunate, and the talents of the world will be subdued by the Lord and come to Chang'an to go to the Lord. ”

is worthy of the person who knows Li Zhi best, Wu Zetian went very smoothly this time, no matter what Li Zhi said, the sentence "Talking about Song Jing get out" that was originally hanging in the corner of his eyes was taken off.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally knocked down the first level.

Li Chen didn't know what her mother said to her father, anyway, now her father's mood is much better, she just got up early this morning, someone outside Fengyang Pavilion brought a box in, Li Chen asked Shu Zhi to open the lock of the box, only to see a set of purple men's civilian clothes lying quietly in the box.

Li Chen was stunned.

Shu Zhi said: "Princess, this is sent by the saint. ”

Li Chen blinked, stepped forward and took out the men's civilian clothes, his nose was sore, and he almost didn't shed tears. Father loves her, in Datang, only officials above the third grade can wear purple, and her father sent her purple men's casual clothes like this, just to tell her that no matter what kind of colt she chooses, her father will not wronged her. Either way, the father will give her all that he can.

Song Jing, who was still outside Chang'an City, didn't know that his future fate had basically been decided, and he studied hard every day, and finally when it came to the first month of the Spring Festival, the imperial examination began, and the sage personally invigilated the examination, which meant that the officials selected for the imperial examination □□ this time were all students of the emperor.

Song Jing had no distractions, and after the imperial examination, he went home to eat and sleep.

Zhou Jitong looked at his appearance of eating and drinking, and admired him very much. In addition to admiration, Zhou Jitong couldn't help muttering in his heart, didn't he say that Yongchang wanted to call Song Jing as a colt, why haven't you heard of it again during this time? Could it be that Yongchang was really a whim at that time?

Regarding Li Chen's surrender, I don't know if Zhou Jitong thinks so, and even Song Jing thinks so. So much so that when Song Jing, who was ranked first when the list was unveiled, didn't have time to go home to report the good news, he was almost stunned when he was brought directly to the throne.

Song Jing didn't expect that the result of his first place in the imperial examination was not that the sage appreciated his talent much today, but that the sage wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. Song Jing stood in front of the emperor with his eyes lowered, and the expression on his face was really indescribable.

The expression on Li Zhi's face is also very indescribable, this young man is handsome and has a good demeanor, but as for making his Yongchang unforgettable?

In order to find fault with Song Jing, Li Zhi brought all his exam papers, looking horizontally and vertically, he still has to admit that this kid is a little capable, he writes well and has something to say. Before the official department Shangshu decided to select the □□ officials for the imperial examination, Li Zhi did not interfere in the whole process except for showing his face during the main examination. After the scoring results came out, it was the assessment of several links in the body, words and writings, and Song Jing not only scored first in the paper, but also won the first in the interview.

In the end, the secretary of the ministry gave Song Jing the position of Fengge Sheren, from the seventh grade. At that time, Li Jingye, with his ancestral shadow, had been a personal guard in the palace for many years, and when Li Zhi separated Li Jingye from the personal guard, what was given to Li Jingye was only from the seventh grade. Moreover, the Fengge Sheren was responsible for drafting the emperor's various edicts and was also in charge of the Zhongshu Order, which was a very important official position, which showed that this group of ministers who were examiners were very appreciative of Song Jing.

If he wanted to find fault and found that he couldn't find it, Li Zhi should have felt very relieved, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any relief in his heart. On the contrary, when he looked at Song Jing, he still didn't like it, and the more he looked at it, the more it was obstructive, and he wished that the queen Wu Zetian next to him would hurry up and finish the family routine with this kid, and then let him get out.

It's Wu Zetian, that's the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is.

Wu Zetian thinks so: Since Li Chen is unwilling to descend to the cousins on the Wu family's side, there is nothing wrong with descending to the Song Jing in front of her, it is better than her descending to her father's relatives.

The emperor and his wife sat in the hall and looked at Song Jing, with different expressions.

Song Jing was very puzzled in his heart, but he had already cultivated a set of skills to pretend to be very calm and calm no matter what he was facing, so he stood in front of the hall very calmly, waiting for the saint and the queen to speak.

Speaking of which, this is the second time Song Jing has seen the saint. The first time was during the imperial examination, but during the imperial examination, the sage was the chief examiner, but at a glance, no one could see it. This time I can see it very clearly, the saint is sitting in the hall, although his temples are white, but he has a noble and elegant temperament, it would be better if he didn't have a straight face.

Li Zhi's eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not a nose He gave Song Jing a look, and then opened the golden mouth: "Song Jing is it?" ”

Song Jing arched his hand: "Exactly." ”

Li Zhi: "You are the first in the imperial examination, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Song Jing was stunned.

At this time, Her Royal Highness added and explained with a pleasant face: "What do you want to do in the future?" "Although the ministry has given him an official position, it can be adjusted.

Song Jing raised his eyes, looked at the high-ranking saint and His Royal Highness the Empress, and said, "Jing is willing to follow the saint before and after the saddle, ask for the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and open a peaceful and prosperous world for the Holy Lord." ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, she laughed, looking very happy, she smiled with Li Zhi: "Congratulations to the Lord for winning this talent, if thousands of young men in my Tang Dynasty are like Song Jing, it will be a blessing for the country." ”

These words are put aside in normal times, and Li Zhi will be very happy when he hears it. It's a pity that he originally looked at Song Jing with a critical eye, so when he heard Song Jing's words, he unceremoniously charged others with clever words.

Li Zhi said "hmm" with an unfathomable expression.

Wu Zetian knew Li Zhi's awkward mood, and he was also laughing in his heart, but the smile on his face was warm and elegant, and she asked Song Jing: "I don't know if you have a marriage match now?" ”

Song Jing felt something was wrong when he heard it, and tried to be vague: "I have been keeping filial piety for my mother for the past two years. ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and made it clear, "I didn't marry for the sake of my mother's filial piety, and I am really the most filial person." ”

"This is the duty of a human child."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he looked sideways at Li Zhi, the emperor's face was still not very good, but he didn't say anything. In the past few months, Wu Zetian has not missed any opportunity to intercede for Song Jing. Even if he is not interceding for Song Jing, he is telling Li Zhi about his family background and many other things, but they are just foreign things, and the most important thing is that his daughter likes it.

Yongchang is the dignity of the princess, today, who will be more noble than her? Since they are all inferior to her, what does it matter how much?

The future son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty is either her father or her brother, and no one will be wronged Yongchang if she is wronged.

……

Balabala, so cloudy.

Li Zhi actually understands these truths in his heart, and he doesn't really think that Song Jing is bad, he is...... Hey, you have to understand that as a father, watching your heart and soul baby fall into the arms of others, your heart is always sour.

It was hard to raise it...... It feels like being taken away by Song Jing is like being arched by a pig.

It would be okay if Song Jing showed a very rare appearance of taking the princess, but Song Jing's waist was straighter than anyone else, and he was not very rare, but he was not very rare.

Of course, he didn't show disgust, probably because Song Jing didn't dare.

Because if he dares to dislike him, he will wait for his head to move.

Li Zhi's inner taste is very complicated, he doesn't want to say anything, and he can't talk to a young man, anyway, what he should know and what he should say, his queen will definitely understand everything clearly, well, it is probably possible to ask Song Jing's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.

Just as Wu Zetian knows Li Zhi very well, Li Zhi also knows Wu Zetian very well.

After Wu Zetian understood Song Jing's affairs clearly, seeing that the emperor did not show any disgrace, he directly said to Song Jing: "Princess Yongchang is fifteen years old, which is the age to surrender. She has been different from others since she was a child, and after not loving Xungui, she prefers people who strive for the top by herself, I see that you are good-looking, talented, and similar in age to Princess Yongchang, and you intend to lower Princess Yongchang to you, are you willing? ”

Li Zhi: "......"

Song Jing: "......"

Li Zhi was so distressed that he couldn't speak, his little Yongchang was really taken away by Song Jing.

Song Jing was so shocked that she couldn't say it, when Mingyue was in Zhou's mansion, she said that she wanted to marry Ah Mei to him It was not a joke or a whim, she really wanted to marry him.
