On the other hand, he also secretly scolded Li Qiao in his heart for being such a nerd, the scholars had just made such a big fuss, and their emotions were unstable, how could they reprimand him at this time?

Isn't that adding fuel to the fire? ”

"Stumped, he still wants these tributes to make trouble again? When he left, the will given to him by the Holy Queen was clearly to appease, and a nerd couldn't even understand what appeasement meant? ”

When the officials frowned, Shangguan Wan'er glanced at the sitting man between her slight figures.

He knows Li Qiao very well, although this person's poetry is good, but he is the most cautious in doing things as an official.

It is impossible not to understand what it means to be appeased.

What the middle-aged eunuch said was completely different from his usual habits.

However, when he came in by shoulder just now, he saw this Zuo Xiang talking to Li Qiao on the road from a distance.

While listening to it, Li Qiao seemed to be wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, thinking of this strange thing at this moment, it was .......

The root cause of Li Qiao's abnormal behavior is in this left minister?

Zuo Xiangwu Chengji sat upright, his brows were also furrowed, and there was no abnormality on his face.

"How do the scholars make noise?"

It was Shangguan Wan'er who spoke behind the curtain.

"There are scholars clamoring to carry the statue of the Holy Master into the palace to ...... and to the Son of Heaven."

"There are also some scholars who shout and ask Your Majesty to give Heavenly Grace to return Qinghe Li Xingzhou, if Your Majesty can perform this grace, they are willing to withdraw from the imperial city and leave Luoyang immediately, and from then on they will never dare to have the idea of taking the imperial examination."

As soon as the middle-aged eunuch finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "pop" coming from behind the curtain.

Immediately, a low female voice full of infinite coercion came out.

"It's all a bunch of bastards, with insufficient success and more than failure! Shangguan Wan'er"

Although the meaning is not good, Wu Zetian's voice is actually not too big, and there is no angry thunderous shouting.

But that's it, as soon as she opened her mouth, all the officials in the chapel invariably lowered their bodies by half an inch.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly popped up in Li Xingzhou's mind that he had only seen in books before.

"Elephants are invisible and thunder often hang outside the nine heavens"

Shangguan Wan'er took a step to the right.

"The Minister"

"These bastards are still convinced of you, so you can go again and tell them that the court will thoroughly investigate the fraud, and in five days there will be an edict to announce to the world. If there are any disadvantages, I will follow the way of heaven and justice, and I will give them justice."

"In addition, within an hour, these bastards must leave the Imperial City and return to their lodgings."

"Those who still stay in the imperial city after an hour have a Si Ji Na, and they will travel for 3,000 miles, and the three generations of children and grandchildren will not be allowed to go on scientific expeditions again."

"Your ......, the Command."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly, then stepped back and walked out.

"Command."

Shangguan Wan'er realized in her heart and retreated.

Shangguan Wan'er had just left, and Wu Zetian's voice of wind and thunder outside the nine heavens had already sounded again.

"Lai Junchen"

Hearing this name, Li Xingzhou's attention suddenly increased a little, this person is a celebrity in the history of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and there are a few cool officials in history!

"The minister is here."

The Junchen who came out in response was not the fierce and vicious appearance that Li Xingzhou imagined, with a tall and thin figure and a white face, it was really normal to look at it.

"The two people outside the building and the twenty-eight members of the Tribute Academy, the rank and rank officials in the Liunei will be handed over to you, Dongfang Qiu ......."

"Let's leave a few days for the rest to be judged within eight days."

"Obey."

When he came to Junchen's order, he smiled softly, as gentle as a virgin.

When the officials in the small hall saw his smile, most of them almost unanimously felt that their whole bodies suddenly tightened, and then endless chills surged in their hearts.

Lai Junchen is in charge of serious cases, this is a thing that takes pleasure in killing, once the case is in his hands, if he does not specifically confess, almost ten out of ten people involved will die.

His Majesty's arrangement is tantamount to the execution of twenty-nine people except Dongfang Qiu.

And it is limited to killing all the daggers within eight days, although Chen Ping'an and Dongfang Qiu have confessed to the malpractice before, it is indeed a negative trust of the Son of Heaven.

Although in the past few years, His Majesty has seen His Majesty mercilessly kill the Li Tang clan many times.

But hearing this at this time, it is still difficult to accept it for a while.

Chen Ping'an is guilty, but the crime is not death!

This is especially true of the other twenty-eight officials who served in the Tribute Court.

Besides, although the official positions of these twenty-nine people are not too high, they are all rank officials in the stream after all!

It is ...... to kill twenty-nine court officials at one time, and still torture them in a way that is not open to trial.

In addition to being shocked, the officials were also puzzled.

Why was there only one of the thirty people left who should have been the most culpable?

At first, Wu Zetian didn't say a word, but once he spoke, in just three or two sentences, he had already sorted out the matter of the Gongsheng riot, and then killed twenty-nine people in one word.

"Go down."

After Lai Junchen retreated, Wu Zetianyi and other officials were dismissed, leaving only Wu Chenghei.

As soon as Shangguan Wan'er left, no one dared to block Wu Zetian's order at this time.

After the silent officials dispersed, the chapel suddenly fell silent.

"Cheng Hei, you recite Cao Zijian's "Seven Steps Poem" to me."

In the slightly empty chapel, Wu Zetian couldn't hear the faint echo of his angry voice.

Wu Chenghe, who had been sitting upright before, could no longer sit down, and immediately got up and bowed down in front of the curtain when he heard the words.

"Chanting." Wu Zetian's voice already showed a slight anger.

"Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. Wu Chengsi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and recited Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem" in a deep voice.

"Chant!"

Again

"Diving,

By the third time, at this time, Li Xingzhou clearly heard the subtle trilling sound from Wu Chengsi's voice.

Wu Zetian finally didn't let Wu Chengsi recite it a fourth time.

"I see that you have been delirious lately, and your liver is too hot. I really can't take care of political affairs anymore, and after leaving the palace, I went to the White Horse Temple to live quietly and quietly. When will I come back, wait for my edict"

"Obey"

Wu Chengsi didn't dare to argue at all, and retreated after receiving the order.

For a while, only Li Xingzhou was left in the empty chapel outside the curtain.

Once Wu Zetian opened his mouth and began to speak, there was almost no pause in the middle.

"The examination papers of the Jinshi Department have not been sent yet?"

"The right talent has been delivered."

Shangguan Wan'er replied.

"You take out this Li Xingzhou and those examination papers that have been selected, and if the answers in the examination papers are not as good as those of these twenty-seven winners, you will immediately order someone to spread this Li Xingzhou's examination papers outside the Gongyuan, and Li Xingzhou and his people will be killed under their examination papers in public."

"Courtier's Decree"

Li Xingzhou stood a little more upright, although he had full confidence in the song "Xiangling Drum".

But to say that he was not nervous at the moment was impossible.

There is a thread hanging between life and death, even if it is a traverser, who can really not care?

Perhaps inheriting the excellent genes of her grandfather Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Wan'er is the kind of person who is extremely talented in poetry and literature.

At the age of fourteen, he soared from a cheap slave in the palace to the sky, and was appreciated and valued by Wu Zetian.

Her talent in literature is one of the most important reasons, and her ability to formulate edicts for so many years is also a full affirmation of her talent.

He is both talented and has a high vision.

In recent years, whenever Wu Zetian held a poetry meeting in the palace, the person responsible for finally determining the merits of the Beijia's poems was Shangguan Wan'er.

Because the result of its ruling is fair, it can be convinced by the preparation family.

It was the above official Wan'er who gradually had the nickname of "Poetry Scale".

Whether it is a history book or a Tang Dynasty notebook, there are many records in the middle of this matter, and Li Xingzhou naturally knows about it.

With the eyes of the above official Wan'er's "poetry scales", it is impossible not to see the beauty of the song "Xiangling Drum".

It is even more impossible that Dongfang Qiu, the twenty-seven people selected by Chen Ping'an and the two can write a better imperial examination poem than this "Xiangling Guse".

There are poems and fu in the Jinshi examination, but the fu is generally longer.

And since the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu was at its peak, he dazzled people with gorgeous rhetoric.

However, the content is lacking, and the big endowment has become more and more seriously patterned.

In short, it is a great endowment of "literature" and "quality", and the routine is serious, which is because it has gradually lost its glory in its heyday since the Western Han Dynasty.

In the Jinshi Science Examination, all the candidates almost follow the same routine, and they present a very serious characteristic of a thousand people with their endowments.

This situation is quite similar to the eight-strand literature of later generations, and those who are really good at literature have to do it if they have to do it for the needs of the exam.

In fact, I don't want to look at these one-sided things.

The essay for the examination has this characteristic, and it is long, and it means that Wu Zetian has to wait for the result immediately, so it really can't take too much time.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was not very good at writing in the first place, didn't look at those fus.

directly picked out the poems of Li Xingzhou and the 27 winners.

knew that the focus of reading the poems this time was on Li Xingzhou, so Shangguan Wan'er first read all the twenty-seven poems that were selected, and after having a quasi-score in her heart, she finally picked up Li Xingzhou's poem scroll.

Unfold it to read the words first, but it is also flat. But when she looked at the poem, Shangguan Wan'er's brows suddenly showed.

The title of the poem "Xiangling Drum" published by Jinshike is taken from "Chu Ci. Far Travel》

"Make Xiangling drumming, make Hairuo dance Feng Yi"

Li Xingzhou's poem scroll reads:

Good drum clouds and Se, often hear the emperor's spirit.

Feng Yikong danced to himself, and Chu Ke was unbearable.

The bitter tone is poignant, and the clear sound is in the dark.

Cangwu came to complain, and Bai Zhi moved Fangxin.

The flowing water spreads to Xiangpu, and the sad wind passes through the cave.

At the end of the song, no one is gone, and there are several peaks on the river.
