Chapter 121: A Strange Call
"What the hell is Mrs. Wu going to do!?"
This was the only thought in Wu Ning's head after accepting this Jingzhong decree.
.....
The holy decree entrusted by the chamberlain of the Yellow Gate actually said two things.
First, summon Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi back to Beijing.
The old lady is about to ascend the throne, and these two important ministers at the level of prime ministers naturally want to support them in Beijing.
Second, it is widely heard that Wu Ning of Fangzhou is proficient in mathematics and is actually a national talent, so he is specially ordered to enter the Beijing inspection school for use.
Entering Beijing to be used......
What do you mean?
It just depends on you Wu Laojiu is a mathematical talent, and the Holy Queen has been approved as an official.
The inspection is to be used, that is, after arriving in the capital, you must test whether you are really proficient in mathematics, and then consider what official to give you according to the level.
However, with Wu Ning's level of mathematics, if he showed it with all his might, it shouldn't be a technical problem to sweep the world. It is estimated that he can enter the sixth department and directly mix with a middle-level official.
In the eyes of Wu Ning, including most people in later generations, this matter must have felt incredible, and he was promoted exceptionally?
This is also too out-of-the-box.
You must know that the literati of the Tang Dynasty, even if they passed the imperial examination and passed the Ming Jing examination, they mostly started from the petty officials of the nine grades. If he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was also a seven-grade county order, but he did not stay in Beijing directly, and even directly entered the six ministries.
It's all.
However, in the eyes of Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, and Li Xian, it is very normal.
Because, in these years, a person who can be regarded as proficient in mathematics is a bull-force.
Don't understand, right? This is completely contrary to the concept that later generations know that reading the books of saints is the best.
But that's exactly what happened.
Before the Song Dynasty, mathematical talents were scarce, and in this era when addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division were not understood, if you knew a one-dimensional quadratic equation, then what kind of jinshi would you take the test? Rush directly to the county office to show a hand to the order, and the county official will be shocked and write a note for you to send to the emperor.
And once the emperor proves that you have real talent and real learning, what exams, recommendations, all are saved, and you will be directly promoted and appointed.
Even if you can't be an official, you're still a clerk, equivalent to a senior government employee.
It's just that Wu Sansi and the others were a little surprised that this Wu Ning was actually proficient in mathematics, which they didn't know.
Wu Ning was entangled, if this was placed half a year ago, if he knew that mathematics still had this benefit, Mrs. Wu made a decree, even if there was more darkness in the court, he would have to rush in and try it.
But now, does he dare?
The most important thing is that Wu Laojiu didn't know what Mrs. Wu's intentions were at all.
......
Until Wu Sansi and the others left, the eunuch told him to prepare and leave for Beijing in three days, but Wu Ning didn't listen to them at all.
Standing in the courtyard as if no one was around, his heart was speeding over this sudden will.
First of all, Wu Zetian knew that Wu Ning was proficient in mathematics, which once again proved that Wu Ning must have her eyeliner by his side. And it was so detailed that the trivial matters of his checking and settling accounts were all sent back to the Eastern Capital without any detail.
Secondly, in just a few months, a high-ranking holy queen actually preached three wills to a doll in a ravine.....
This also proves once again that Mrs. Wu is definitely not a simple love talent, she is very likely to know something, and even knows Wu Ning's life experience.
So why is she? Why did Zhao Wu Ning enter Beijing?
Why did Wu Ning enter Beijing at the juncture when he was about to ascend the throne?
Want to kill people and kill people? No.
If you want to kill Wu Ning, you don't have to be so troublesome at all, and you specially called to your side.
Besides, in the eyes of Mrs. Wu, Wu Ning may not even be considered a "trouble", he is not qualified.
Will that be a cryptic message, like last time?
It doesn't seem to be reliable, what kind of information does it have to be conveyed in person?
What else is possible?
Wu Ning racked his brains, and his face was like gold paper.
From the moment he told Helan Minzhi about his life experience, he had been pulled into this abyss, and the slightest mistake would be a catastrophe.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Wu Ning put it down for the time being, "It's a matter of labor." ”
"You say!" Taiping was also worried at this time, and he really couldn't guess what the queen mother's intentions were this time.
"What do you need to do with this palace, Kurou but it doesn't hurt to say."
Wu Ning nodded, "Can Your Highness ask something from the mouth of that eunuch?" ”
"What does Kurou want to know?"
"......" Wu Ning shook his head, he didn't know what to know, he had too little information in his hand now.
"Anything, what happened in Beijing during this time? What is the reason for announcing my entry into Beijing? And so on and so forth. ”
"Okay." Taiping agreed.
Seeing that Wu Ning frowned, he comforted him kindly.
"Jiu Lang doesn't have to worry too much, this matter is not like what the queen mother wants to do with you."
She also vaguely felt that it was not like the queen mother wanted Wu Ning's life.
"The queen mother is about to ascend the throne, there are a lot of undercurrents in the court, and trivial matters are unavoidable.
"Huh?"
Wu Ning was stunned, nervous, and unintentional for a while?
This sentence reminded Wu Ning, this old lady Wu wouldn't be tempting him, right?
......
As I thought before, Wu Ning was not even a threat to her, but now, Li Xian, Taiping, and the Wu brothers are all in Fangzhou, after all, Mrs. Wu is the first empress in the sense of integrity to ascend the throne throughout the ages, at this juncture, even Wu Zetian is difficult to calm down, right?
Looking at the fact that she recalled the Wu brothers, but still left Taiping in Fangzhou to appease Li Xian, it is not difficult to see that Wu Zetian wants to be foolproof.
At this time, it is barely understandable to throw stones and ask for directions to see what the pair of uncles and nephews planned back then.
To put it bluntly, if Wu Ning enters Beijing, it means that this kid wants to do something, or that he still has ambitions.
What if Wu Ning resigns?
It means that he is scared or doesn't want to do anything.
The old lady is also relieved?
“......”
Wu Laojiu had a headache, this reason was barely reasonable, but he couldn't be sure.
To tell the truth, if he provokes this woman who should not be messed with in Datang, he has fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes!
......
——————
Princess Taiping has returned to the city.
Like this kind of envoy from afar, even if Li Xian is the most stupid, he has to set up a banquet to entertain him. Taiping naturally wanted to take this opportunity to join in the fun and help Wu Ning listen to one or two.
waited until it was dark, and Taiping did not come back.
Wu Xin said that the city gate is locked, and it seems that he will not be able to come back tonight.
During this period, Helan Minzhi came to see Wu Ning once. In addition to comforting, he was concerned about whether Wu Ning should be ordered or not, and whether he could enter Beijing.
Wu Ning didn't speak, just was silent.
However, from Helan Minzhi's eyes, he could see that Uncle Ugly wanted him to enter Beijing, because it would be one step closer to his great cause of revenge.
......
Early the next morning, Princess Taiping turned around and brought back the news that Wu Ning wanted.
However, when Taiping told the situation in Beijing and why Wu Zetian ordered Wu Ning to enter Beijing, Wu Ning was entangled again.
He fell into the most difficult choice of his life.
