Chapter 73: A Decree That Shocked the World
"The heart palpitations and stagnation in the past two days are really troublesome! Since you are leading the tribute students to cheat in the imperial examination, there should always be some way to prevent the malpractice, you don't want to go back in the past two days, just stay in the tribute courtyard, and try to think about it as soon as possible."
Just one word of speech exposed his statutes.
Speaking of which, he just wanted to do an errand and the idea was taken by Li Xingzhou, and then he wrote Li Xingzhou's idea into a flowery chapter and presented it.
As for whether Li Xingzhou's ideas can be used, it is naturally up to His Majesty to judge.
He didn't come up with the idea, he didn't make the decision, and naturally he was not responsible!
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a world-famous poet, and the idea he came up with after holding back for a day is really useful.
Ambiguous hands turned into slippery hands, and the same people who don't make decisions and don't take responsibility can't be smooth sailing in officialdom, it's really unreasonable.
Hearing this, Li Xingzhou, who had just found a seat and sat down, smiled again, but he didn't know that Su Da Poet was really worried in his heart, so he was afraid that Wu Zetian would not allow him to perform this trick and not leave his hand.
Ay! Let's try it first!
With such a thought, Su Wei, who was troubled, sighed again and said with a straight face: "What do you mean?" ”
"Good!"
In this regard, Li Xingzhou lived in the Gongyuan, and his daily diet was sent by his own officials, and he just quietly thought about the regulations that should be adopted for this reopened scientific expedition.
There were many exams that later generations had personally experienced, and there were some examination regulations of the two Song and Ming dynasties for reference, and after thinking about it for two days, Li Xingzhou reported a few regulations that had been repeatedly scrutinized in his heart.
As soon as Song Zhiwen heard one, his eyes suddenly lit up, and as Li Xingzhou finished saying these points one by one.
His spirit, which had been sluggish for two days, suddenly lifted up a lot.
"Very good, very good, think about it again. But if you have any gains, report them to me immediately. Seeing that Li Xingzhou finished speaking, Su Wei actually got up and sent Li Xingzhou out of the room.
Then he turned around and picked up the sheep's hair, and wrote what Li Xingzhou said into a literary chapter without adding points.
After writing and carefully checking it, Su Wei, a member of the Fengge House, took the carriage and went straight to the imperial city without delay, and then entered the palace city to face the saint smoothly.
Another great thing about being ambiguous and slippery is that you don't want to be greedy.
But if you have a little greed for merit in the face of things, you will naturally not be ambiguous.
When Su Weimimian presented the chapter, he clearly stated that this was Li Xingzhou's idea.
After speaking, Su Wei waited for the Holy Queen to read the chapter, and at the same time worried, if His Majesty asked me what regulations I had, how should I respond?
But to his great joy, although the holy queen only said the word "may" after reading the chapter, she did not ask about his statutes, and seemed to acquiesce in his slippery hand in this matter.
When he walked out of Miyagi, Su Wei's heart was clear in the past two days, and the sigh that followed one after another finally ended.
Since then, Su Wei has been even more confident that he no longer cares about the charter, and becomes a setter with peace of mind.
In the Gongyuan, the content of his daily routine was just to implement the regulations proposed by Li Xingzhou and approved by the Holy Empress.
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since the last Gongsheng riot.
In the anxious waiting of the entire Luoyang Shilin and the curiosity of the people of Luoyang, the edict of the Son of Heaven finally came out in the palace as scheduled.
Chen Ping'an, the former chief of the Ministry of Rites, Dongfang Qiu, a bachelor, and the 29 members of the Gongyuan have confessed to their malpractices and are now being detained in Yousi for the final sentence.
The previous scientific expedition was abolished, and the Gongyuan reopened the scientific expedition 20 days later.
The firewood and rice required by the Bingong students in all the townships of the world due to the postponement of the scientific expedition were distributed according to the records of the Jingzhao Yamen.
The reopened scientific examination specially punished Su Wei, the person of the Fengge House, to preside over its affairs, and Li Xingzhou, the son of Qinghe, assisted in the attack.
As soon as this edict came out, the world was shocked!
As soon as the edict to reopen the scientific expedition came out, the world was shocked
The scientific examination began in the Sui Dynasty, and it was only a short time after it became customized in the Wu Zetian period, and because of the short time, there has never been a disturbance among the tribute students because they doubted the results of the examination.
Ten days ago, Li Xing's hand led the torrent of Qingjin that could be described as the first time in the world.
The first time is always impressive, not to mention that the first time this time also caused the effect of Luoyang shaking and shaking the world.
Although the Gongsheng Rebellion that day was quelled by Qiu Renjie at the gate of the palace at noon that day, the storm stirred up by this matter was far from being so simple to subside.
Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the water hides countless prying eyes and restless hearts.
As the largest "group" since the Holy Queen's accession to the throne. "The participants are all tribute students, and these tribute students are all carefully selected leaders from all the states in the world, and they can be said to be local celebrities.
But now it is these people who have joined forces to stage such a stunned drama in Luoyang.
Therefore, not only those tribute students who want to conduct scientific examinations, but these days, the entire imperial city, the entire Shilin, the entire Luoyang, and even the local prefectures that have received the news are keeping an eye on the palace city, and the follow-up and outcome of this matter.
The people are just watching the excitement, and by the way, they are concerned about the news of the local Gongsheng.
The local officials and officials were worried about whether the imperial court would blame the local government for improper selection of people because of this incident, and if so, what kind of charter should it be?
The people of Luoyang, especially the people who witnessed the torrent of Qingjin that day, were more concerned about the outcome of those leaders, especially the one who shouted sadly, "Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the young man's head." ”
Then with his bare hands of flesh and blood, the young man who forced the blade of Zuo Yu Lin Wei's blade, what would be the result?
You know, these ordinary people really shed a few lines of tears because of his actions that day. People always prefer and pay more attention to things or people who have deeply moved them.
Not to mention that this young man is still a figure who has swept up a trend in Luoyang for more than half a year.
Don't say anything else, now whenever you go to the tea shop, in the Wang's courtyard, or even walk around the Qinglou in Xingyifang, whether it is the singer in the tea shop in the Wang's courtyard or the fireworks in the Qinglou, at least five or six out of ten are singing the lyrics of the song that caused a sensation in Luoyang last year and brought Shen Da Niang back to the throne of the big Oiran in one fell swoop.
Unconsciously, or even without Li Xingzhou realizing it, he actually became a celebrity, and with the news of the Gongsheng riot, he will eventually become a celebrity in the world.
If you are a celebrity, there will always be a celebrity effect, not only in later generations, but also in ancient times.
For example, Li Bai of "Will Enter the Wine" of "The World Sings the Song of the Immortals", and Liu Yong of "Yulin Ling" of "Where there is a well water drinking place, you will be able to sing willow words".
The so-called celebrity effect is to be chased and paid attention to, and today's Li Xingzhou belongs to this situation.
As for the officials and officials of the various ministries and temple supervisors in the imperial city, what they saw was different from those in front of them.
Especially those little officials, the first thing they are concerned about is that if such a big thing happens this time, someone will definitely be in a coma.
After this little gloating, I looked at the free time in the business room and gathered together in three or five, wondering how far the matter would eventually expand, and whether someone would benefit from this incident.
Guess and guess, judge, and be happy
Li Xingzhou didn't realize that his angry behavior actually gave the officials of the imperial city a big "benefit." ”
As a result, the yamen, which are often dull, have been much more active these days.
The officials kept their mouths tightly shut and never discussed the Gongsheng riot in public, especially in the presence of the officials.
On the other hand, they will glance at Miyagi a few times every day, intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for the latest news to come out.
Their wait was much shorter than expected.
A few days ago, the Holy Spirit Son of Heaven, who looked like he was still a little tired, once he moved, it was a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens.
A series of three edicts that barely gave people a chance to breathe blew up the officials and officials of the entire imperial city in a daze.
As soon as the first edict was issued, Chen Ping'an, the chief priest of the Ministry of Rites, Dongfang Qiu, and even all the rank officials in the Gongyuan were swept away by Lai Junchen.
The people outside don't know, can the people in the imperial city still understand who Lai Junchen is? Can you still guess the meaning of the Holy Queen's actions?
That's thirty rank officials!
can sit firmly in the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Ping'an can be regarded as a figure who can be mentioned in the imperial city. Bachelor Dongfang Qiu has always been favored, and only last summer he had a big limelight in the tour with the Holy Dragon Gate.
Not to mention the clean tribute courtyard that was beaten.
Without a public judgment in Dali Temple, it was handed over to Junchen, a rare cool official in the past and present, who tortured and killed thirty court officials in one fell swoop.
This kind of means made the little officials naturally lower their voices when they talked about it, and every time they thought about it in the middle of the night, they were cold.
The first edict was just stopped, the second edict was issued again, and he was exiled to Shannan for several years, and the little officials almost forgot about this person, but the king of Luling inexplicably got a big prize, and it was a reward for brocade, and it was a reward for money, a reward for Silla ginseng, and a reward for women's music.
Underneath these dazzling rewards are the hearts of the petty officials, especially the officials of the ministry. They naturally thought of the dispute between Wu and Li's heirs because of this incident.
In the past two years, I have seen His Majesty's infinite grace to his mother's nephews, and he has been crowned a king, and he has been entrusted with a heavy task.
The king of Luling is more and more degraded and more mountainous, and the officials of the imperial city feel that His Majesty has made up his mind, and in the end he wants to pass on his nephew or son, but he didn't think that there was such a puzzling one, and he also deliberately emphasized that the edict of the imperial city should be spread all over the imperial city.
It's hard for His Majesty to change his mind again, and in the end, he still wants to pass on his son and not his nephew?
It seems that in order to confirm their idea, the third edict that followed demoted Li Qiaoyuan to Qiongzhou. Everyone knows that Li Qiao is very favored, and they know that this person is a close confidant of Wu Chenghe, the first favorite minister of this dynasty. It is rumored that the king of Zhou and the left prime minister Wu Chenghei intended to invoke him into the political hall.
What does it mean that such a hot person, who is only one step away from the phase, has been fled to Qiongzhou?
Then everyone was shocked that Zuo Xiangwu Chengsi had not come to the three provinces to take care of official business.
Then there was gossip that His Royal Highness King Zhou had been confined to the White Horse Temple by the Holy Queen, and it was still unknown when he would be able to come out.
Then news came out that Wu Sansi, who was working hard to build the Sanyang Palace for His Majesty in Songshan, was also reprimanded, and King Liang traveled between Songshan and Luoyang almost like a meteor every day.
At this point, even the stupidest people in the imperial city have understood that this time the holy queen intends to use the Gongsheng riot to clean up the hustle and bustle of the dispute between Li Wu's heirs, and a series of actions to praise Li and suppress martial arts are to inform the imperial city and the people of the world:
The battle for the heir is far from coming to fruition, and there is only one core in this world.
Holy Queen
After three edicts, the Zhou Wangfu and the Liang Wangfu, which had been crowded every day for the past two years, suddenly became deserted.
Many officials of the Imperial City who had the idea of burning the stove in advance also took in the coal-like thoughts, and honestly stopped walking around, or waited for the holy queen before thinking about anything else
Cooked the Imperial City. The edict for the resumption of the scientific expedition for Shilin and the common people will be issued tomorrow.
With the previous thunderbolt methods, the officials of the imperial city were much more receptive to this edict.
Quitting the previous conviction and re-examining?
Hey, it's really not surprising that the Holy Queen made such a decision.
The reopening of the scientific examination will be based on Su Wei, and the head of the Ministry of Rites will be directly put aside, which is nothing!
Whether it is an official position or a prestige in Shilin, Su Wei is well-deserved.
The only thing that made them unacceptable was that the leader of the Gongsheng riot last time, Qinghe Li Xingzhou, was actually appointed as the assistant examiner, and he became one of the main exams alongside Su Wei.
Pass... How can it be? What does Your Majesty think?
......
At this time, Xue Huaiyi had already seen Wu Zetian and presented the "Great Cloud Sutra" in his arms.
Those great monks. Usually they are good at specious verses, but this time for this "Great Cloud Sutra", they far-fetched and concocted a lot of similar verses and prophecies.
Give full play to their imagination and make use of every sentence in the Great Cloud Sutra.
Wu Zetian looked at the "Great Cloud Sutra" seriously, and saw that they used the "Great Cloud Sutra" as the basis, constantly analyzed and studied, and even came to the conclusion that Maitreya Buddha was reincarnated as a daughter and became the master in the world.
Even in some verses, the reincarnated daughter of Maitreya Buddha was directly pointed out as surnamed Wu, and I couldn't help but be very pleased.
"Master Huaiyi really lived up to my expectations!"
Wu Zetian put down the "Great Cloud Sutra" with a smile and said to Shangguan Wan'er who was standing aside.
"You take it first, and then choose an auspicious time to make the "Great Cloud Sutra" and "Great Cloud Sutra" issued to the world. At that time, the big temples in all states and provinces must be collected in a copy, and the monks from all over the country will be promoted**! ”
Shangguan Wan'er agreed, and Wu Zetian said to Xue Huaiyi again.
"This move, Master Huaiyi has made great contributions. How many people have translated this "Great Cloud Sutra"? ”
Xue Huaiyi said: "There are Li Xingzhou, Chu Qi and others participating in the translation. ”
Wu Zedao: "Okay! In addition to Master Huaiyi, I will give you each a purple robe and a silver fish bag as a reward! ”
Because in the Tang Dynasty, the color of the clothes was used in the official uniforms, and the color of the monks' robes was restricted.
Purple is the color that can only be worn by officials above the third rank, so no matter which Buddhist temple the monks are, they are not allowed to wear purple robes.
Now, each of the ten people given by Wu Ze received a purple robe. This is an unprecedented courtesy.
Xue Huaiyi's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly thanked him.
Wu Zetian smiled and said authentically.
"Master Huaiyi has a heart. I'll give you a purple robe, and I don't think it's light-hearted. ”
Xue Huaiyi hurriedly said.
"Huaiyi is a rude person, and he has no other thoughts, just thinking about how to make the queen of heaven happy, Huaiyi is happy in his heart, this can be called the mind of the queen of heaven, that is the best. I'm not afraid of the queen's jokes, on the way here, Xiaobao is afraid that this will be difficult to enter the eyes of the queen, and he is still very worried. ”
Wu Zetian glanced at him with a smile and said:
"I'm a little tired, and I want to go back to the dormitory to rest. Master Huaiyi came with me, and I talked about this "Great Cloud Sutra" well, and I was quiet and calm. ”
Xue Huaiyi hurriedly said: "Yes, Huaiyi obeys the order." ”
"And that Li Xingzhou, Wan'er, you let people stare at it to see if you can use this person"
Shangguan Wan'er bowed down and agreed, and gently retreated.
Xue Huaiyi has been holding his hands together and standing there waiting.
Shangguan Wan'er went out, and hurriedly stepped forward.
Gently holding Wu Zetian's arm, the monkey called anxiously: "The queen of heaven ......"
Wu Zetian glanced at him with disgust, and accompanied by him, he went to the dormitory.
