Chapter 232

Compared with the outside, Wu Ning's life is not comfortable.

At the beginning of September, Wu Qi won the first place without any suspense.

Thinking about it, it was secretly set as the first name by Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi, and Princess Taiping, if Wu Qi didn't go to high school again, it would be really strange.

However, to the surprise of the deputy examiner, as well as Wu Zetian and the Manchu Dynasty, this Mu Ziqi is really fucking capable!

There are three subjects in the Ming Classics: "Sticking to the Scriptures", "Trying Righteousness" and "Current Affairs".

From the literal meaning, it is not difficult to see that sticking scriptures is actually a fill-in-the-blank question, which tests the ability to memorize the meaning of the scriptures.

The author of the question will give a two-character question, or three or five words, that is, an excerpt of a passage from many Confucian classics, and the answerer will dictate the original text of the scriptures according to the title.

This includes the "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn Zuochuan", which are called the Great Classics;

"Mao's Poems", "Zhou Li", and "Etiquette" are called the Chinese classics;

"Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography", "Spring and Autumn Valley Liang Biography", called Xiaojing.

Among them, those who pass through the two scriptures need to reach one major scripture plus one minor scripture, or take two middle scriptures, and they can be recorded.

Those who pass the three classics, one major, one medium, and one minor scripture, this is excellent.

Those who have passed the five classics need to be able to pass both the major and minor scriptures.

If you can reach the level of the Five Classics, then the first place in "Sticking to the Scriptures" is estimated to be gone.

In addition, in addition to the large, medium and small classics, the "Book of Filial Piety" and the "Analects" are compulsory subjects. Now Kewu Zetian added "Lao Tzu" and "Erya" on a whim.

With so many scriptures to memorize, it is difficult for ordinary people to read through them. What's more, there is an oral exam after that.

Although it doesn't seem to be very technical, it is also extremely difficult.

For so many years since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there are very few people who can understand the Five Classics. Not to mention the characters who have all memorized the "Book of Filial Piety", "Analects", "Lao Tzu" and "Erya".

However, no one expected that this Xinzhou Muzi period actually took the first person to post scriptures since the former Sui Dynasty.

This ...... I got a perfect score!

That's right, full marks!

Not only are there large, medium and small scriptures, but I don't even see a typo, which is terrible.

Later, Wu Zetian specially put Wu Qi's test paper forward and ordered someone to review it, and the result was really not bad for a word.

Well, what does this mean?

It shows that Mu Ziqi has already understood the whole scripture and has memorized it backwards.

It's truly breathtaking.

......

Of course, this is just one subject.

The second subject is called "Trial Righteousness", which is better understood, which is to explain the classics! It's not enough to be able to memorize, you have to be able to understand.

As a result, Wu Qi is still the first, and moreover, it is the undisputed first.

His understanding and interpretation of the meaning of the scriptures made even those great Confucians of the dynasty admire again and again.

......

Not to mention the third department, Wu Qi followed Wu Ning.

And Wu Laojiu is the one who wrote a box of "Awakening the World" for Wu Zetian, his interpretation and interpretation of the current politics, and the grasp of the future policy direction of the court, the vast majority of courtiers must be called ancestors.

What's more, is it to compare Wu Qi, who was nurtured by Wu Ning, among a bunch of young people?

Therefore, Wu Qi took another first place without any suspense.

The head of the three sections....

Undisputed!

Originally, it was the most blatant black-box operation, but it made Wu Lao Shi the most well-deserved champion since the imperial examination.

Suddenly, Mu Ziqi's name was even more prosperous and famous, and he was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than his brother Mu Ziji, who made a great poem.

During this time, there were more guests in the Li Mansion of Huairenfang, and even the famous singers of Luoyang Fengyue Field came to visit him, and took the initiative to send his heart, and wanted to talk about his love with this talented man in Shuzhong who was unparalleled in talent and looked better than Pan An.

Of course, Wu Ning was happy to see this, except for those guests who came specifically for the long road dart game, Wu Laojiu pushed the rest into Wu Qi, and he was happy.

And Wu Qi ......

Well, it's right in the hands of this flowery carrot!

Staying in Fengyue all day long, visiting friends and friends, spending all day and drinking, it seems to have become the head of the Fengyue team in the Shendu.

Whenever there is a banquet, whenever there is an invitation, Wu Qina must come, and he is generous and talks freely.

Coupled with the backing of the Long Road Dart Bureau, for a whole month, Wu Qi can be said to have earned enough popularity and made the limelight.

......

————————

"You just let Wu Qi do this right?"

Autumn is in full swing, and in the courtyard of the Li Mansion in Huairenfang, Princess Taiping is wrapped in a high-necked cloak and stands in the courtyard with Wu Ning, watching the ginkgo tree sprinkle a little golden.

During this time, there were many people, so Taiping rarely came to Li Mansion, but today he couldn't stand it anymore, and came to ask Wu Ning, what was he doing?

"If you want Wu Qi to gain a foothold in officialdom, you certainly need some connections, but now it's too late."

Wu Qi is simply crazy, no matter whose invitation it is, he will not refuse anyone who comes. From the emperor's princes and ministers to the prostitutes and oirans, as long as there is a banquet, this goods will arrive.

Although both the people and the princes like to be merry and talented, everything is a degree. It is impossible for all the people in this court to become your friends, and some of them will inevitably be enemies.

And the enemy will inevitably try to seize your handle, and today's romance will sooner or later be used as a handle for future struggles.

Taiping was a little helpless, "How can you be so high-profile?" The new champion always has to be more restrained and make more mistakes, doesn't Jiulang understand? ”

"It's okay." Wu Ning smiled and admired the fallen leaves, "Let him go!" ”

"You....", stomping his foot angrily, "what the hell are you going to do?" ”

Wu Ning spread his hands, "I don't have any plans!" ”

"In the final analysis, because of the relationship between Wu Qi and the Long Road Dart Bureau, it is impossible to decentralize the state and county experience. He was destined to stay in the Kyoshi Pavilion and stay with the empress. ”

Therefore, his path to becoming an official is destined to be different from others. Rather than distinguishing between allies and enemies now, treat everyone as allies. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be a merry man with no reputation?"

"But you already have enemies!" Taiping frowned and retorted, "What's going on with the seven surnames and ten families? ”

"Even if you want to please Your Majesty, you don't have to offend them all at once, right? I've gotten word that the Ten are ready to deal with your long game. ”

"Jiurou, don't take it seriously! Ten families have joined hands, even Your Majesty has to consider one or two, no matter how powerful your long-road dart game is, it may not be able to withstand it. ”

“......”

Wu Ning shook his head silently, "It's not me who pleases the empress." With a wry smile, "It's that the lives of seven surnames and ten families are not long in coming, and I have to draw a line with them!" ”

"Huh? Soon-lived? Taiping was stunned, "Where does this start?" ”

Wu Ning didn't answer the question, and suddenly said, "In His Highness's industry, is there grain and grass?" ”

"Stockpiling food?" Taiping couldn't turn his mind for a while, and subconsciously said, "In addition to Lutian and Shifeng, there are also several grain shops in Luoyang and Chang'an. ”

"But how much grain and rice has been saved this autumn, I have to ask Gao Yanfu. Come to think of it, there should be more than 100,000 stone rice grains. ”

"Why do you ask this?"

After Taiping finished answering, he reacted, "Don't change the topic and say, why do you say that the lives of seven surnames and ten families are not long?" ”

Na Cheng thought, Wu Ning didn't want to tell her in the first place, and continued to talk nonsense.

"Great! More than 100,000 stones is also a lot of money. ”

Wu Laojiu leaned into Taiping's ear, "You listen to me, let Gao Yanfu quickly gather all this grain and rice, and sell it to Wu Chenghei at a high price in a few days." ”

"Huh?" Taiping was obviously led astray by him again, "Sold to Wu Chenghe?? He's not stupid, what is he doing to collect grain at a high price? ”

"Because...," Wu Ning didn't say anything this time, "because it's about to go to war." ”

"What!?" Taiping was shocked, "With whom?" ”

"Turkic."

"Won't it?" Taiping didn't believe it, "Didn't Cen Xiang sacrifice his life to go north just to avoid war this winter?" ”

"Huh." Wu Ning laughed dryly, "Of course Master Cen thinks so, but..."

"Not everyone is Cen Changqian, but there are people who want to go to war this winter."

"Who?"

"Sirp." Wu Ning said a name, followed by another name.

"And ours.... Your Majesty! ”

"Impossible!" Taiping's face was stunned, and he didn't believe it, "You said that it is reasonable to sip silently, Your Majesty!?" ”

"Your Majesty will not be so arbitrary!"

"Knowing that the winter war is not conducive to the Great Zhou, and if you start a war rashly, you will suffer heavy casualties, how can Your Majesty choose to start a war with the Turks at this time?"

"Huh."

Wu Ning laughed dryly, but he didn't know how to explain to Taiping.

For rulers, there is never an absolute.

When the casualties on the battlefield are meaningless, or cannot be exchanged for equivalent value, then Wu Zetian naturally tries to avoid war.

However, once the price of the battlefield can be exchanged for greater benefits, then Wu Zetian will not care about a few more deaths.

......

————————————

In the next few days, in addition to the still hot Muzi period in Xinzhou, another rumor quietly emerged in Luoyang City, that is:

The big perimeter will silently sip and kiss the truth.

It turns out that this silent sip is fake on the surface, and the secret robbery is real.

This time he made peace with each other, and he threatened to go to war. The empress was forced to be helpless, so she sent King Huaiyang and Cen Changqian to make peace.

And what shocked the people even more was that this silent sip did not really want to make peace, but to make peace openly, but secretly accumulated strength.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mu brothers of the Long Road Dart Bureau discovered the fact that the Turkic tribes were gathering on the border from the clues of trade, and came to Shendu to report the news, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou would still be in the dark.

In order to delay the Turks and avoid a war, Her Majesty the Empress decided to send King Huaiyang and Cen Changqian to the Turks to die.

As soon as this news came out, it was lively.

You must know that Wu Zhou passed on the power of the Tang Dynasty, and swept Liuhe back then, and the power of the eight directions was especially there.

When the people heard about such a wretchedness, of course, they were passionate and indignant.

When Taizong was alive, he chased the Turks to the edge of the cape, how could he have ever received such a bird spirit? Now a silent child dares to seek skin with a tiger?

In addition to being angry, he also secretly sighed, "Women are in charge.... It's just a little softer! If Taizong is replaced, even if Gaozong is alive, he can't be bullied like this, right? ”

Suddenly, Wu Zetian's prestige was greatly reduced, and he became a weak woman.

Even some corrupt old Confucians in the court are also happy in their hearts, Emperor Wu is weak, maybe it is a good time to return to power in Li Tang.

There are only a few discerning people who secretly frown, and this matter is definitely not simple.

And Taiping was also puzzled at this time, and said secretly: "This news came from Wu Ning?" But it's not like that. ”

"Who could that be?"

Thinking of this, Taiping didn't dare to think about it.

Imagine, the current Wu Zetian has become weak in the voice of the people.

If....

If Cen Changqian can't get along, the news of the murder of the Turks will come back...... Can the old lady still say that there is no war!? Does she dare to say that she can endure it any longer?

Thinking of Wu Ning's words that Wu Zetian had the heart to go to war, Taiping was shocked, and a chill ran down his spine.

She thought of a possibility, this folk rumor might ......

It may have been released by her mother, Mrs. Wu, herself.

If it was really Wu Zetian herself, then she had forced herself into a corner, and her heart to fight was unshakable.

"Gao Changshi."

Thinking of this, Taiping did not hesitate, and was already convinced of Wu Ning's words.

Gao Yanfu didn't know what was at stake, "The villain is here, what does His Highness command?" ”

"Go and gather all the grain and grass stored in the house, and then wait and see what happens. When the time is ripe, it will be sold to the Yuwang Mansion. ”

"Uh..."

Gao Yanfu is in trouble, when is it considered "the time is ripe?" Can you explain the point?

......

Well, Lao Gao didn't wait long.

First of all, Wu Zetian issued a decree, which confirmed the folk rumors.

What is the purpose?

The Mu brothers in Xinzhou studied and sub-sang, and reported to the national inspection in a timely manner to save their merits. The most holy Yan Dayue, special knight, Mu Zijiu, male of Mengjin County, one hundred food towns; Mu Zi was named a male in Xin'an County, and he had a hundred foods.

Well, that's a bit of a big reward

Even if it is a court official who has made great contributions outside, it is generally a promotion and reward, unless it is a merit of swallowing the sky, otherwise he will not be rewarded with a knighthood.

For meritorious folk people, at most, they are officials, but knighthood is even more unlikely.

But these two brothers, the official son of Mu Zi's champion in the examination has not yet been sealed, and he got a knighthood first; Mu Zijiu, the leader of the Green Forest Alliance of the Nine Provinces, became a nobleman.

In this way, it also confirmed the folk rumors that these two people were rewarded with knighthoods, which should be because of the fact that they reported the Turks for not being subordinate.

And what made Gao Yanfu see the "opportunity" was another purpose of Wu Zetian.

"This autumn will have a bumper harvest, and when we prepare for disasters and prevent disasters, the grain and grass of the imperial court will be increased by 30% according to previous years, and the income from the fields in each state will also allow farmers to use grain to offset taxes."

Mrs. Wu is preparing grain and grass, and she is determined to go to war.

Gao Yanfu said, then what are you waiting for??

Immediately went to contact the governor of Yuwang's Mansion, "Our princess's mansion is rich this year, and we can't eat enough food." 200,000 stones, do you want it!? ”

When the governor of Yuwang's Mansion heard it, how could there be any reason not to want it? Food has always been hard currency, and no amount is too much.

"What's the price!?"

"Seven hundred wen and one stone!"

"Ahh Yu Wangfu Changshi almost didn't spray Gao Yanfu's face, you are really fucking black!

Today, the market price of a bucket of rice sold to the people is only 40 Wen. Ten buckets for one stone, that is. The market price of one stone is only 400 Wen.

Note! This is the market price, which is retail. Wholesale is of course cheaper, 30 to 35 wen is dead.

This product dares to double, the price is called 700 Wen, why do you want to go crazy for money!?

"Get out! Love to sell who sells who goes! ”

Gao Yanfu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Don't pull it down." ”

turned around and left, and didn't forget to say in a weird way, "Anyway, if Your Majesty wants to collect grain, it will be you King Yu who is in a hurry, not our princess." ”

"You're back!" The head of the Yuwang Mansion was stunned! "What do you mean, to make it clear?"

"It's boring!!" Gao Yanfu pouted, "Figure it out yourself!" ”

....

Wait for Gao Yanfu to leave...

The more Yu Wang Changshi thought about it, the more wrong it became....

Don't.... Really want to go to war!?

But..... Even if he wants to levy grain for the war, his price is too high, right??

After thinking about it for a long time, King Yu Changshi said in his heart, I can't be the master of this matter, so I still asked King Yu.

As a result, I saw the heir, and I said it in detail....

"His Royal Highness King Yu...."Changshi said: "The princess's mansion is clearly ripping bamboo!" ”

"But... In case of a real fight this winter, it will definitely be too late for His Majesty to transfer grain and grass from various states, and he will inevitably call on the world to collect grain. ”

"It's for us.... What an opportunity! ”

"If you can give bread with all your heart, you will lead the kings. I will have the joy of the Sacred Heart, and I will choose the place ....."

"Buy!!"

When Wu Chengsi heard this, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet! "Bought his!"

What if Lao Tzu asks you to slaughter this knife?

Why are the sons willing to do it, but they still need this little bit of food?

"But..."King Yu Changshi was troubled again, "but the real money in our palace is not enough..."

200,000 stones, 700 Wen one stone, that is, 140,000 guan of ministers, and Wu Chenghei of the royal palace does not have so much money.

"Give her some of the land shops!!"

Wu Chenghe's heart was dripping blood, and his heart said that this mother-in-law is so ruthless!!

Where do you get so much grain and grass?

.......

King Yu Changshi got his fate, turned around, and took the initiative to find Gao Yanfu....

"I can't sell it."

Lao Gao's words made King Yu Changshi angry enough, "Why can't you sell it for the sake of the company?" ”

"The price has gone up..."

Poof!!

King Yu Changshi stared at the beads and was speechless for a long time.

"I said Gao Yanfu! Business isn't what you do!! ”

"Hehe..."Gao Yanfu grinned, "Don't say it so good...."

"What business... It's just ripping off. ”

"What's the matter? Do you buy it or not? ”

......
