Chapter 221: The Difficult Imperial Heir (9)

Taichu Palace, Taoguang Garden, Kyushu Pond.

In order to express the thirst for talent, the Empress Wu set up a banquet to entertain the head of the head who went to Beijing to ask questions, and 200 of the 3,000 people selected by the Junchen were selected by the Lai Junchen, and the banquet and drink with the Son of Heaven, accompanied by officials from the palace province, Chunguan Yamen, Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple and Hanlin Academy.

This is the first major event that Li Li has done after serving as the young eunuch in the palace, the palace banquet has certain rules, and there will be no mistakes if you follow the step-by-step process, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the face of the power policy, and deliberately spoke to take care of it, and no one dared to pull his hind legs, and all the matters were properly prepared, and he himself was a person who could endure hardships, and he went through the whole process three times, and even the amount of wine and food for the banquet guests was considered, which was foolproof.

According to the rules of the Chunguan Yamen, greetings, singing and dancing, and other links were completed smoothly, seeing that the meeting was coming, the brunt of the coming Junchen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the officials did not dare to take it lightly, if the banquet was smashed, no one could get rid of the guilt.

It is really the leader of this batch of so-called lifters, it is also disappointing, from the words and exchanges on the banquet, all of them are exposed, there are some literary talents, and the writing must be unhindered, but some high-level skills, Hugh said that the poetry is full of words, even if it is a neat and profound couplet, I am afraid it is enough to choke.

Chunguan Shangshu Wu Youxu scolded his mother in his heart, and frequently used his eyes to signal to Yan Shansi, Honglu Temple, Deng Huaiyu, Taichang Temple, Shaoqing, Cui Rong and others, these people have always been close to Dalang and acted reliably, but today they are at a loss and have no tricks.

Empress Wu sat high in the smoke pavilion, her face was pleasant, and she talked and laughed with the female officials of Hanlin beside her, quite happy, and heard that Li Di had never drunk wine so far, she was quite surprised, and gave a three or two horn cups on the spot, and asked Wei Tuan'er to pour wine for him and let him drink and try.

Wei Tuan'er smiled and poured wine for him with a delicate porcelain wine jar, and the crystal wine flowed out, and it was directly poured full.

Li Di thanked him Hanhan, picked up the wine glass, poured it into his mouth with his neck up, the hot wine slurry passed through his throat, and all the three taels of wine were poured into his stomach, Li Di fell to the ground with a bang, and the only trace of clarity left swept over Wei Tuan'er, this woman seemed to be hostile to him, and she should be careful in the future.

"Hahaha" Empress Wu looked up to the sky and laughed, attracting everyone's attention to her, and said with a brush, "You Aiqing, you raise your son, Li Aiqing is diligent and diligent, and acts calmly, but today he was mistaken by a glass of wine, it can be seen that the art is not pressing, and there are some biases, so there are flaws, the sages pay attention to the six arts of the gentleman, today's writing, I keep poetry and songs, I want to see at a glance the way of the six arts of your son, and Wangqing and others are enthusiastic, don't lose hope"

In the Taoguang Garden, the court officials and the lifters knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

The words are the same, but the tunes are different, the lifters are happy for the opportunity to show their skills, but the court officials are impressed by the old spicy method of the spring breeze and rain between the hands of the Ninety-Five.

Empress Wu shouted with a smile, and Lai Junchen got up with everyone, cautiously raised his head and looked at the throne, met the two knife-like sharp eyes, and immediately lowered his head, trembling, like a man's back.

There are six courses of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, and the scope has been greatly expanded, and the Chunguan Yamen and the Hanlin Academy have deliberately released water, and the performance of the lifters has been much easier.

When Tao Guangyuan was happy, outside Wucheng Gate, there was a sudden cry.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has worked hard for the country, but there is a traitor to the king and insult the court."

"Your Majesty, the traitorous king does not cultivate his personal virtues, bullies others, and the world is not far away"

"Your Majesty, the country is about to die, there will be demons, the traitorous king is too young to dance the spoon, he dares to force the virtuous, not to punish at this time, but when?"

……

"Knock knock" "Knock knock" A group of officials in scarlet robes and green robes held on to the door frame, and were stumped, some banged their heads against the door, and some grabbed the ground with their heads, crying loudly.

In Tao Guangyuan, the children and officials fell silent together.

Empress Wu frowned slightly, Xie Yaohuan hurriedly went and returned, "Your Majesty, Du Shen, the Taifu Temple, Du Shen, the Imperial History, and the Fengge Luantai Sheren slammed the door outside the palace gate in pain, and said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu forced Quan Langjun to kneel and bow in public."

Empress Wu smiled, not panicked, this news Shangguan Wan'er had already played to her when she came back, but this method of lifting the lid was fresh, and she turned her head and asked, "Everyone, the king of Chu went to Quance to move to the housewarming, and ordered him to kneel and bow, what do you think?" ”

The lifters were silent, and it took a long time for one to get out, "The grass people think that although Quan Langjun is famous, but his official position is low, he worships the king according to the courtesy, although it hurts the dignity, but it does not hinder the etiquette law"

Some people took the lead, and other people were not willing to be lonely, and they argued with each other, and when it was fierce, some people even fisted and kicked each other.

Empress Wu frowned slightly, and the little eunuch raised his voice and shouted, "Quiet"

"Although the name of the text is heavy, you can't mess with the law" The voice of the martial artist is like a golden stone, echoing on the Jiuzhou Pond, "I have the law of etiquette in my hand, no matter who it is, it is impossible to succeed in coercing the will of the people, left and right, take down Du Shen and others, punish them with twenty rods, put them into prison, strictly interrogate them, investigate the culprit, and if they are not forgiven, they will not be pardoned"

A group of brocade-clothed thousands of cattle lined up, holding down those officials who were crying and grabbing the ground, and when they pulled off their pants, they crackled and crackled, and the crying was gone, only the screams remained.

The officials and the officials were silent.

Wu Youxu was restless in his heart, and when he heard the meaning of Wu Hou's words, he seemed to be shaken by Da Lang's favor?

"Your Majesty, Luoyang Mansion Yin, Luoyang Sima and others asked to see outside the palace gate, claiming that they had important official business"

"Hehe" Empress Wu smiled, sat down slowly, took a sip of red grape wine, some rich red lips lightly, and spit out a word, "Xuan"

The people who came were none other than Luoyang Mansion Yin and Wang Lu and others.

Luoyang Mansion Yin Xianyu reported, "Your Majesty, last night the stable of the Chu Wangfu caught fire, burning down more than 200 houses, burning to death and injuring more than 400 civilians, mostly women and children, frightened horses trampled on more than 100 dead and injured, after investigation, it was caused by the poor management of the stable forage room, and the relevant people have been detained in prison"

Then there was Sima Wang Lu of Luoyang, "Your Majesty, the old lady Pang Shi in the Dou Assassin Mansion, plundered property in Nanshi, and was blocked by the merchants, and his guards were ruthless, killing one person and injuring more than ten people, and today hundreds of merchants in the southern city gathered in the Luoyang Mansion to tell Pang Zi, and the ministers took the paper, so that they could be appeased and persuaded to leave"

Empress Wu listened, her fingers tapped lightly on the table with rhythm, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly, "Hmm, it's such a big move, the disposal is timely, what else is the matter?" ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin hesitated again and again, sighed, bowed and said, "The day before yesterday, Princess Yiyang's Mansion arrested two groups of people, one group maliciously overstepped the system and planted false goods, and one group was poisoned and set on fire, this case involves the imperial family, and the ministers dare not slack off, after investigation and reconnaissance, the people who manipulate behind the scenes, involving the right prison guard, have some to do with the Chu Palace, and the ministers dare not exceed their powers and responsibilities, so I hereby ask for instructions."

Empress Wu's expression finally changed greatly, she stood up with her sleeves brushed up, her lips twitched twice, and her voice was extremely low, only Shangguan Wan'er heard it, "This little thing, but he is more courageous than his father, but unfortunately, he is still the general of the defeated army."

"Spread the order, circled the Dou Mansion for strict investigation, and ordered the King of Chu to defend himself"

"There are many events in the DPRK and China, and the policy of policy and inquiry is not suitable to be carried out again, so it is ordered that the calligraphy articles of the resumes of the various newspapers in Beijing will be selected by the Tianguan Yamen, and the Tianguan Yamen and the Chunguan Yamen will be consulted, and the actual post or trial official will be awarded as appropriate."

"Ge Lai Junchen inspects the position of the spring official of the school, and is in charge of the imperial history platform"

Empress Wu brushed his sleeves away, Lai Junchen's body was cold, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

He was the chief political officer of the policy, and many people came forward to greet him, and there was a lot of commotion.

Useless stuff.

Lai Junchen was disgusted, he ignored it with a cold face, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he hurried out of the palace, the sense of urgency was overwhelming, and the errand was smashed, so he had to use his housekeeping skills, quickly handle an iron case, and stabilize his grace.
