Zhang Lingyang never expected that because of his words yesterday, he would cause such a big battle.

Just after breakfast the next day, Xiaofuzi reported to Zhang Lingyang, saying that the harem concubines had already been prepared, so he waited for Zhang Lingyang to go over and take a look, good guy, the harem concubines actually went out collectively.

This caught Zhang Lingyang off guard.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang thought that it would be a great thing to be able to pass three or five concubines.

In fact, if you think about it, this is also a reasonable thing.

Just imagine, the concubines of the harem can't get out of the palace all year round, and even if they go out of the palace, they will go back to their parents' homes to save their relatives.

But saving relatives is the emperor's grace, and it is not the turn of three or five years, so these women in the harem, especially those who are not favored, are basically locked in the palace for the rest of their lives.

The last time the concubines went out en masse, it was when the capital was moved to Luoyang last year, because Zhang Lingyang and the ministers of the court and the central government were not there, so under the leadership of the Empress Dowager Xu, the harem concubines rarely went crazy once.

But it was just one crazy time.

Since Zhang Lingyang came to Luoyang, except for Concubine Zheng Guifei, who went home to kiss once, in the past year, no concubine has ever stepped out of the palace gate.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xu is an exception.

Just as Zhang Lingyang thought, since Buddhism entered the Central Plains, most of the concubines and noblewomen of the official eunuchs of the past dynasties advocated Buddhism.

As the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xu, like her ancestors, is also extremely advocating Buddhism. Therefore, after moving the capital to Luoyang, although the Empress Dowager Xu is no longer the same as before, every three or five months, the Empress Dowager Xu still has to go out to worship the Buddha once.

Of course, most of the temples of the Empress Dowager Xu are near Luoyang, and they have not been far away, and they cannot go far.

Otherwise, the twists and turns of the officials in the court, I am afraid that they will be piled up in the Chen'an Palace.

After the concubines of the harem received Zhang Lingyang's words yesterday evening, they had already gone crazy.

It's also pitiful, after coming to Luoyang, this is the first time they can go out on a large scale, where is the meaning of pushing?

So early the next morning, before dawn, the concubines got up one by one.

changed clothes, freshened up, had breakfast, and then dressed himself up beautifully, and began to wait for Zhang Lingyang's arrival in the queen's bedroom.

Zhang Lingyang went to the queen's bedroom to take a look, good guys, the room full of concubines, which shocked him a little and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

But fortunately, there is no shortage of carriages and horses in the palace, and several times more people can be prepared.

So just a little surprised, Zhang Lingyang took the lead in holding Queen Wang's hand and boarding the carriage.

"Let's go!"

With a shout from Xiao Fuzi, hundreds of carriages walked out of the palace gate and headed directly south.

When he came to the Longmen Grottoes, Zhang Lingyang had just gotten out of the car, and he couldn't stand the noise of the concubines' chirping.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang also thought that it would be good to be able to come to three or five concubines, so that his surroundings would not be too lively, and they would not be too deserted.

But these dozens of concubines got together, in order to compete for favor, they could say anything, and they could do anything, Zhang Lingyang couldn't stand it for a while.

So he just stayed at Longmen for less than an hour, and Zhang Lingyang, who couldn't stand the noisy concubines, said a word to Queen Wang, and left early.

Speaking of which, this is Zhang Lingyang's second visit since he came to Luoyang, but his original good mood was completely poured with cold water.

After leaving Longmen, Zhang Lingyang, who had nothing to do, really didn't know where to go for a while.

There are a lot of scenic spots in Luoyang, but the most famous Longmen Grottoes and White Horse Temple have been occupied by concubines and Empress Dowager Xu, Zhang Lingyang really can't think of where to go for a while.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi spoke: "Long live the lord, I heard that there is a scholar banquet next to Luoshui today, if the long live lord is really bored, you can go there to have a look." ”

In February of the ninth year of Tai'an, the Great Zhou held the third spring festival since Zhang Lingyang ascended the throne, and naturally many scholars gathered in Luoyang.

Although it has been half a month since the Spring Festival, most of the scholars have not left Luoyang.

And March is a good time to go out, so at the invitation of a group of Dengke Jinshi, the scholars who are still staying in Luoyang held a youth meeting today.

Of course, if it's just a talented person, there's nothing to watch.

Since ancient times, whenever there is a gathering of scholars, there are always beautiful people.

Today is no exception.

In addition to a group of talented people, the wives of dignitaries and ladies who have not yet left the cabinet, and the girls from the major green buildings have gathered, and it is natural to see what they are for.

In fact, speaking of which, although today's banquet on the shore of Luoshui is a gathering of scholars, the real initiator is Zhang, the wife of Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet.

As for the specific reason, it is because Zheng Yongji has a son named Zheng Ke in addition to Zheng Guifei, who is an adult this year.

As early as three years ago, Zheng Ke was already a lifter, but because of the failure in the examination room, he did not become a jinshi this year.

But now Zheng Ke has reached his age, and because Zheng Yongji and his wife stayed in southern Henan a few years ago and have not contacted the capital for a long time, Zheng Ke has not yet decided to marry.

In fact, Zheng Ke's mother, Zhang, has a relatively high vision and looks down on those girls from low-level families, so it has been delayed until today.

No, after hearing the news that the new Kejin Shi was going to hold a banquet for a few years, Zhang moved his mind. After discussing with her husband Zheng Yongji, he took over the banquet.

After listening to Xiaofuzi's explanation, Zhang Lingyang chuckled and said, "Let's go and join in the fun!" ”

After all, Zheng Ke is also Zhang Lingyang's brother-in-law, Zhang Lingyang thought: "If I meet the right girl, I can marry her, which can be regarded as a beautiful conversation." ”

With such a thought, Zhang Lingyang, surrounded by Xiaofuzi and others, walked to the shore of Luoshui......

If Zhang Lingyang ascended the throne for a while, he heard that there was a banquet for talented and beautiful women, Zhang Lingyang didn't have to think about the purpose of going, he must have hugged the beauty.

But now it's different from the past, now Zhang Lingyang is not young, and he will be thirty years old in September, so naturally he won't have such thoughts anymore.

Therefore, the purpose of Zhang Lingyang's participation in the scholar's banquet this time is very simple, one is to marry his brother-in-law, and the other is naturally to see what real talents this year's Jinshi have.

Since the second year of Tai'an, the Great Zhou has carried out the reform of the imperial examination, but what are the specific results?

In fact, Zhang Lingyang was really hard to guess for a while.

If you want to say that the scholars don't have real talents, right?

The Jinshi who were selected for the last two imperial examinations have had very good careers in recent years, and the key is that after these people became officials, their political achievements were relatively significant.

But if you want to say that you have real talent and real learning, right?

After the Jinshi selected in recent years became officials, they only paid attention to the people's livelihood, and as for industrial construction, there were relatively few people who paid attention to it.

This situation made Zhang Lingyang feel a little conflicted......
