Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dawn of Inspiration
Taichu Palace, Xianju Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty, Serving the Imperial History Standing Class Standing.
The court was stuck in the internal Shi Cen Changqian, and he was severely criticized by the Empress Wu according to the rules of the previous years.
"Zhuqing, although the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and the people's livelihood is happy, but the court's talent is a major matter of the country, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and long-term peace and stability, how can you follow it hastily?" Empress Wu stood up, although her face was serious, but there was not much anger, obviously she was just using this to play, "In the fourth year of Xianqing, Emperor Gaozong had more than 900 tribute students in the Xuanzheng Palace, and he was the best in the world, and I was the successor of Emperor Gaozong. I will personally consult the scholars of the world, so as to prosper the style of Shilin and cultivate literature, and temper the heart of loyalty of all people."
"The Queen of Heaven is wise" all the courtiers bowed down and kowtowed, singing and dancing with her, and in the past month, the Empress Wu has done a lot of things to change her course, and often to the Ming Emperor himself, no matter what his private position is, in the face of the strength of the Empress Wu, the courtiers have become numb, and gradually acquiesce to reality.
"What the queen of heaven said is extreme, the king of a country personally asks the scholars, it is really the government of great virtue, can see the face of the sky, it will make the scholars jump up and down, and the test will be as much as the carp that crosses the river" The beautiful male prime minister Cen Changqian, the plain words are extremely exquisite, but the queen of the martial arts is mixed up, many special words have to be used on her, and the ordinary queen mother's words are used on the queen of the martial arts, it is possible to commit taboos, encounter disasters, and use the emperor's words on her, but it is foolproof, the courtiers are also people, in order to protect themselves, can only run wild on the road to enshrine her as the emperor.
Empress Wu bowed slightly, and ordered sternly, "The Spring Official Yamen must be fully prepared for this matter, and tell the scholars of the world that they must not be omitted, and that they must not be lazy or postponed in preparation for the palace examination."
Replacing Wu Sansi as the spring official Shangshu, it was Li Ruochu, who came out to receive the order, his face was bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and all the work done in the early stage was completely overturned and restarted.
The Empress Wu was still insufficient, so she turned around and asked, "The matter of making science and technology, there is a rumor about the Yushitai"
Wind heard, active, passive, active is the initiative to write and say things, passive, as now, for consultation, the right to stride out, "the minister tastes and hears, there are scholars in private, mentioning the predecessors of the field, there are many admiration, there are two places of admiration, one is to the Son of Heaven as the main examination, the fairness of the palace examination is undoubted, the two have to be the protégé of the Son of Heaven, but also can glorify the lintel, the descendants of the descendants, the queen of heaven restarts this virtue and politics, just at this time, just like the rain and dew, moisten the Shilin"
A seat has a nose and eyes, but in fact, it is all nonsense, it is rare that his face does not change, and he has words.
"Hahaha" Empress Wu raised her head and laughed, her voice echoed in the hall for a long time, "Yes, the protégé of the Son of Heaven, the Jinshi selected by the Son of Heaven is the protégé of the Son of Heaven."
The Empress Wu was satisfied, and saw that the power policy became more and more pleasing to the eye, "The power policy performed his duties diligently, conscientiously, and gave food and food"
"Ministers thank the Queen of Heaven Longen" Quan Ce's etiquette is like a ceremony, not coquettish or crazy, holding back a belly smile, he has been in office for more than a month, not a single piece of music has been sparse, and the history of the servant who is responsible for the wind and the performance of the matter seems to have become deaf, and he can't hear anything, and now he is pulling the Shunfeng flag, but he is praised and responsible by the Empress Wu, and it is also interesting to be tight.
The court meeting discussed some matters, mostly related to personnel, the personnel layout of the Empress Wu was quietly unfolded, there were two human rights strategies to pay attention, Di Renjie was not lucky, was demoted again, became Fuzhou Sima, even the official can not be the official, the king of Yu, Yuzhou assassin Li Sujie, for the official mellow, do not intrude, the people have a way, to remove the current post, remote lead the Andong capital to protect the capital, moved to Michi.
Uncle's real power and pro-people official position was lost, Ming Sheng and secretly descended, and the place of residence was transferred between the two capitals, which should be a precautionary move for the Empress Wu, but Quan Ce was fortunate for it, with a sharp weapon in his heart, and the murderous heart arose, and there was no shortage of people with evil intentions in the world.
The court dissipated, and Quan Ce went out with the crowd, but was stopped in front of the palace gate, but it was the local official Lang Wu Youxu.
Quan Xue looked at his black gauze official hat with some urgency, it was still black, which was gratifying.
Wu Youxu waved his hand in front of him, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, obviously he didn't take the matter of the hat changing color to heart, "Da Lang is rude, I am looking for you today, I have serious things to discuss"
Quan Ce's expression froze, "I would like to hear it in detail"
Wu Youxu walked forward, while saying, "The makeup clay porcelain process you explained to the sun, I tried it for two months, and it was quite successful, and the success rate and quality rate of burning porcelain in this way are extremely high, that is, ordinary finished products, color and texture, and more than fifty percent better than ordinary porcelain kilns."
It turned out that this was a serious matter, Quan Ce breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his eyebrows fluttering, and his proud appearance was extraordinary, not like a high-ranking official at the level of a waiter, but like a craftsman who saw the hunting heart, and his mouth responded, "Then you have to go and see, speaking of which, the little nephew is just talking on paper, and it is all the credit of Uncle Shi"
"Hahaha, there is no need to mention it if you don't have merit, you are all happy to do this, there is nothing left and right, you will go back to the house with me, I will burn a kiln of porcelain yesterday and show you" Wu Youxu took Quan Ce's hand and couldn't wait to offer the treasure.
Quan Ce kept up.
"Wu Shilang, Quan Yushi, please stay" There was a greeting from behind, and Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly hurried up.
"I've seen the edict" Wu Youxu and Quan Ce saluted together, but his face was not good, he was lonely, and he had no good impression of this woman who attracted bees and butterflies and mixed with men all day long.
"The squire forgives the sins, and the slave has something to tell the right to the imperial history" Shangguan Wan'er didn't care, and she wasn't looking for martial arts.
"Then I won't bother, and I will say goodbye" Wu Youxu gave up his hand and explained two sentences, "Da Lang has finished his business, come to my house quickly"
Shangguan Wan'er took Wu Youxu away, but she didn't have any official business, and smiled with her hands behind her back, "Quan Yushi, in the past few days, the political affairs hall has been discussing politics, and many prime ministers have praised you, saying that you are steady and modest, and it is appropriate to stop advancing and retreating."
Quan Ce laughed and said casually, "They are quite wary of me" can only be explained in this way, he has repeatedly acted unexpectedly, especially able to toss, and there is a bit of sainthood, the important ministers of the court have long regarded him as a thorn in the head, this time he was transferred to the official, many people are worried that he will fire excessively and harm himself, and therefore, he has nothing to do, no one says that he is derelict in his duties, and he is praised for his stability.
"Giggles" Shangguan Wan'er smiled, Dongdu is not better than Chang'an, the door is strict, there are many ears and eyes, here is a little cleaner, Chang Chao summoned, she can meet with Quan Ce, chat a few words, like familiar old friends, "Quan Yushi, in a few days, February 2, I want to hold a literary meeting, this time to participate in the examination, there are many outstanding people to come, you must come to cheer"
Quan Ce naturally responded, and the two chatted for some gossip and left.
When he arrived at Wu Youxu's mansion, he saw that Wu Youji was also there, and the two sat opposite each other and tasted tea, smiling and smiling, it seemed that both of them really didn't mind sharing the matter of the maid.
"Come on, come on, Da Lang" Wu Youxu saw that he had arrived, immediately put down the teacup, and dragged the two of them to a specially opened small courtyard, which was hot and hot, thinking that it was where the porcelain kiln was.
There are a few shelves at the door, on which a row of porcelain is displayed, there are three-colored, monochrome, Quan Ce does not understand this, only thinks that the brightness is very high, smooth and lovely, Wu Youji is a little more knowledgeable, pounce on it and admire, "The fetal quality is round, the glaze is layered, and the shape of the vessel has not changed much...... Brother, you little porcelain kiln is priceless."
Wu Youxu grinned very proudly, raised his head with his hands, looking forward to himself, but Wu Youxu was anxious, pulled the two of them together, opened his mouth, and threw away the hands of the two, "It's all the shopkeeper who shakes his hands, that's it, I'll take care of it, the two of you, one initiative, one operation, each of you will account for two percent of the shares, if you have spare money, you can also invest some in it."
Quan Ce and Wu Youxu just looked at him and smiled, not together, Wu Youji was sullen for a while, and muttered, "Go back and earn money, you two don't regret it."
Quan Ce looked around, and saw that there were some semi-finished products on the ground at random, there was a product in the shape of a bull's horn, there were many holes on it, and there was a handle on the top, which stretched out quite long, and he was stunned when he looked at it.
"What do you think of Da Lang? It was a defective product, and I was going to burn a few chic porcelain teapots, but I didn't make it a pity.
Quan Ce shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "No, no, no, this thing is of great use."
