"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Shangguan Wan'er on the side coughed lightly, and Li Xingzhou, who was still staring at Wu Zetian's eyes, immediately came to his senses.

She was reminding herself that she was being rude.

He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed respectfully.

"The queen of heaven, in the small people of the lower countryside, when I first entered the palace to see the queen of heaven, I was surprised and rude, and I asked the queen not to blame!"

After Li Xingzhou finished speaking, he waited anxiously for a possible reprimand.

However, his worries were finally redundant, Wu Zetian was not angry, and even the smile on his face did not go away, Wu Zetian swept Li Xingzhou's face again, and the little surprise on his face was put away.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was surprised to see all this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

She wondered why she would tolerate such an unidentified person's gaze after daylight.

Not long after Shangguan Wan'er prepared the edict and handed it over to Wu Zetian's imperial review, a small sound of broken steps came, and a small yellow door came in and said that Su Wei had been summoned.

"Enter"

Su Wei is nearly fifty years old, burly but not fat, with a face like a crown of jade, and a fluttering beard, which can really be called a "beautiful demeanor".

As soon as the man entered the chapel, he walked briskly to the front of the curtain, and bowed down to the ground and shouted long live.

"That's it, let's be flat", Wu Zetian didn't talk nonsense after calling Su Wei, and said straight.

"The disadvantages of taking talents in this department are too deep, and I am willing to abandon them! It is planned to reopen the scientific examination in January, and the matter will be handed over to the Qing family."

As soon as he heard this, Su Wei immediately changed color, and drove the first two steps to the road.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a great ceremony for talents, how important is it? If it is easily abolished, it will cause the world to boil over, and at worst, it will greatly damage the majesty of the court and His Majesty. The minister thought that this matter was impossible. I beg your majesty to take back the holy order"

"I have customized the imperial examination to select talents for the imperial court, if this original intention is not harmonious, what is the point? The disadvantages of the current science have made the tributes make such a disturbance, and the dignity of the court and me is not to hide their ears and steal the bell! Hmph, if you don't stop this course, you are still tinkering on this list, won't it make the world laugh at me even more."

Su Wei still needs to be persuaded again.

Wu Zetian, who was dictatorial and arbitrary, no longer allowed him to say any more.

"This matter has been decided, and Qing will do it with all his heart. In addition, the Luoyang Order was passed on, and he was asked to give a monthly firewood and rice money to the trial tribute according to the list of the Ministry of Rites. Tell him that he should do this with his heart, and that no one should be left behind, otherwise I will not spare him."

Less than half an hour ago, I said to Shangguan Wan'er that I would give a reply in ten days, why did I even give the time and main examination for the reopening of the scientific examination in a blink of an eye?

Even the cost of firewood and rice for the tribute students to delay a month in Beijing has been taken into account, which is not like a temporary idea!

Stumped, Dongfang Qiu and Chen Ping'an had already made up their minds as soon as they confessed to the malpractices of Jinke?

Putting aside these useless things and not thinking about them, just say that at the moment, Wu Zetian has not said how to deal with himself so far, but he doesn't know if he can still participate in this reopened subject?

The situation took a sharp turn, and when Li Xingzhou was pondering, he suddenly heard a sentence from behind the curtain that could be called a shock.

"This son is Qinghe Li Xingzhou, and he will help you with this reopening of the scientific expedition. When I'm tired, you should step back and do your work."

Once the world was in the spotlight, the scientific expedition involving the entire Shilin was unexpectedly dismissed. Whether it was this result or the process of producing this result, Li Xingzhou didn't expect it, and that's it, after all, Wu Zeyao is not a mortal, maybe he lacks anything but lacks atmosphere and courage.

But to involve yourself in presiding over scientific expeditions, this ...... Is there anything more ridiculous in the world?

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but shout in his heart, what the hell!

He just led the tribute students to oppose the scientific examination fraud case and oppose Dongfang Qiu.

How did he become the new assistant in the blink of an eye, and he was going to be in charge of a new scientific expedition!

It is said that thirty years of feng shui rotates, but it turns too fast in him!

Li Xingzhou was not allowed to express his opinion at all, and after Wu Zetian finished giving instructions to Su Wei, he got up from behind the curtain.

Li Xingzhou stood there a little stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a while. Su Wei, who had a bitter face, said lightly when he passed by him, and even said with some annoyance,

"You are allowed to rest for a day and go to the Gongyuan the day after tomorrow"

After saying that, the poet shook his head and smiled bitterly and left, and his sigh could still be heard clearly from afar.

One after the other.

Shangguan Wan'er followed Wu Zetian like a shadow and walked towards the depths of the palace, and after walking quietly for a while, she spoke:

"Su Wei's poetry is known in the world, and he is good at playing chapters, and his qualifications as the chief examiner are naturally enough. But the courtiers have also heard of it, and their people have said it. If there is a mistake, it will be blamed, but it is ambiguous to hold both ends, and it is often called 'Su Moleng' in the imperial city."

"This time, Your Majesty is determined to reopen the selection of talents in this department, and there is really no room for mistakes, such a big matter is handed over to Lord Su, and the courtiers are a little afraid."

Wu Zetian on the royal su heard this, and chuckled, "Su Wei's name of 'Ambiguous Hand 7 has been known for a long time"

"That ......"

"Do you think that Chen Ping'an and the twenty-nine rank officials in the Tribute Court were all killed for nothing?"

"With such a precedent, how dare a person like Su Wei, who is well versed in the way of avoiding trouble, have the slightest indulgence? Rest assured."

Shangguan Wan'er had been waiting here for a long time, and after seeing that it was a matter of course, she threw out the questions she really wanted to ask.

"In that case, why does Your Majesty need to punish Li Xingzhou's crazy student to help with the examination? But in order to win the trust of the tribute students? ”

"This is one of them, but it is also the most insignificant effect", Wu Zetian tapped his fingers lightly on the small table in front of him, and said lightly:

"After the malpractice of Yue and Song, this reopened scientific expedition is just as you said, and there must be no more problems. But let me ask you, since the imperial examination was customized, what kind of subject can convince the scholars after the release of the list? ”

Shangguan Wan'er doesn't even have to think about this question, because there is no such thing at all!

At that time, it was not long before the imperial examination became customized, and there was no precedent to follow, so the entire examination was still in the stage of exploring and accumulating experience.

Just as later generations said "crossing the river by feeling the stones", as long as you cross the river by feeling the stones, bumps and even wrestling are inevitable.

On the one hand, it is categorically impossible to prevent problems from occurring, and on the other hand, it is impossible to avoid problems at all. It can be said that the imperial examination, which is scheduled to be reopened after January, is a dead knot that cannot be untied.

The intention of putting Li Xingzhou in this dead knot ...... At this point, Shangguan Wan'er finally understood Wu Zetian's thoughts.

Li Xingzhou was not punished before, and he was not punished, it turned out that the Holy Queen had already arranged the biggest punishment.

It is fake to let Li Xingzhou help to handle the examination, and it is the real purpose to make him carry the black pot!

Since there will be problems in this exam that can no longer have problems, let Li Xingzhou carry all these problems, once he memorizes all the problems and stains, then the exam itself will naturally be perfect!

From this, thinking of Li Xingzhou's identity as the leader of today's Gongsheng riots, this arrangement is even more intriguing!

Shangguan Wan'er had to admit the essence of the Holy Queen's calculations.

Between the ghosts and gods, she actually asked again, "What if Li Xingzhou can really come up with a way to make this subject the world admire?" ”

Wu Zeyao glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, as if she was surprised how she could have such a naïve idea.

"A imperial examination involves the future glory and disgrace of thousands of people, and their generations have to fight, and there are many people. How difficult is it to do such a thing and make the world admire? If Li Xingzhou really has this ability, maybe I should celebrate with the crown."

At this point, Wu Zetian smiled and said: "I should celebrate that Jinke has finally selected a true talent, and I have another real talent."

As soon as these words came out, the reopened scientific examination itself became another scientific examination, but the candidate was only Li Xingzhou.

In the eyes of the Son of Heaven!

If you don't win, you won't recover!

Li Xingzhou naturally didn't know about the conversation between Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, and at this time, he was walking towards the outside of the palace with the guide Xiaohuangmen.

As he walked, he thought about Wu Zetian's intentions for his arrangement, but after only thinking for a while, he put this question aside for the time being.

From the morning to now, after experiencing so many ups and downs, he is really tired now, not only is his body uncomfortable at the moment, but his brain is no longer willing to think about it.

After putting aside that question for the time being, what emerged in Li Xingzhou's heart was emotion.

I felt that everything was not going well after entering Beijing, and the original arrangement plan for setting off from Xiangzhou was all in vain as soon as I arrived in Luoyang.

Things have developed to this point, completely out of his control, and as for where to go next, he is at a loss.

The world is like chess, unsatisfactory things are often **, people are not as good as the sky!

The little yellow door leading the way in front suddenly said: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

Li Xingzhou gave way to the side of the road, and at this moment, a clear sound of horses' hooves came.

Since ancient times, it has been the emperor who rules the world, and the queen controls the six palaces. Wu Zetian ascended to the throne as a woman, and the matter of controlling the inner palace naturally fell on Shangguan Wan'er.

The palace city is too big, and Shangguan Wan'er has too many things, if she relies on all the comings and goings, she is really too busy. It was she who naturally obtained the right to take the horse in Miyagi promised by Wu Zetian himself.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Li Xingzhou, and a moment later, the woman who was in power in the six palaces turned over and got off the five-flowered and money-rich horse decorated with gold bonds.

"Go, I'm here."

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand, and the little yellow door suddenly lowered her head and retreated away, not daring to hesitate at all.

There were only two people and one horse left on the palace road for a while.

"You are that Qinghe Li Xingzhou?"

Shangguan Wan'er asked very casually, but her powerful aura was awe-inspiring.

With a haggard face and a hoarse throat, Li Xingzhou was like a stubborn stone, as solid as a rock in this compelling aura.

"Yes"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Xingzhou calmly for a long time, and suddenly said, "Is it worth it?" ”

With this question, Shangguan Wan'er finally found the reason why she would stop here inexplicably.

After the Holy Queen had taken a break, she was about to go to another part of Miyagi because of something else, but she stopped here in the middle of her walk, and she herself did not quite understand why she did so until she dismounted.
