When Wu Zetian heard that Wu Yanzhi's father had passed away, he was very emotional!

"The second uncle of the grandson often mentions his grandmother, but he thinks that he is not an official, so he is reluctant to go out of the mountain, and he asks his grandmother to understand!"

"I've been considerate of him for a long time, everyone has their own ambitions. By the way, I heard Xue Aiqing say yesterday that you accidentally learned the thaumaturgy of smelting copper, iron and hammers, but is it true? ”

"That's true! On that day, when the grandson saw that his grandmother had built this 10,000-year-old immortal Tianshu, he thought that maybe there was not enough copper and tin, so he came to give advice to his grandmother! ”

Seeing that Wu Yanzhi was very calm, not like bragging at all, Wu Zetian was very happy: "Okay, I'll let the two direct officials brought by Qiao Aiqing test you?" ”

"Grandmother, of course you can. However, please allow your grandchildren to give two things to your grandmother first, and it is not too late for your grandmother to take a test for your grandchildren after they have seen it! "Wu Yanzhi's work has always been to fight for the initiative.

"Oh? Present! ”

Seeing Wu Yanzhi in an instant, he took out two things from his arms: "Grandmother, one of them is the zinc and the stone smelted by my grandson." In addition, the grandson learned the seven gold smelting techniques of the strange people of the Western Regions, and wrote a book of "Seven Gold Essences", please ask your grandmother to read it! ”

A eunuch came over and presented two things to Emperor Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian flipped through the book first and nodded: "It's well written, but I can't understand a lot of things, so I'll ask a direct official to read it." ”

With that, she handed the book to the eunuch beside her.

The two officials didn't quite believe that this Wu Yanzhi had any miraculous skills, and one of them casually took the book written by Wu Yanzhi and read it casually.

Who knew that after just turning a few pages, his face changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly beckoned another person beside him: "Gong Wen, there is such a refining method in this steel, have you ever seen it?" ”

The man next to him also hurriedly came over to take a look. The more they watched, the more frightened they became, and when they saw the chapter on zinc smelting, they didn't feel sweating!

"Gong Wen! We only know that calamine and malachite can be combined to make a stone. Where to think, it turns out that this is zinc at work. Isn't this zinc a kind of white gold similar to tin? Who first thought of this? ”

"Yes! Look here, you can actually extract copper directly from water? Is this true? ”

“……”

Wu Zetian saw that the two of them were fascinated by books, and knew that this nephew's book must be extraordinary, so he asked, "Two Aiqing, how is this book going?" ”

As soon as the two direct officials heard Wu Zetian call the two of them, they hurriedly came back to their senses. The official surnamed Wen said: "Your Majesty! Such a method of smelting has never been seen by the ministers. Maybe it's true, right? Don't know if there is zinc in kind? ”

"Oh! Here, I haven't seen it yet! "Wu Zetian said.

So she took the zinc apart from the paper wrapped around the shackle, and took out the zinc and looked at it carefully. Then he said, "This thing is much lighter than silver, about the same as tin, but it doesn't seem to be much like tin!" Take a look! ”

The eunuch next to him handed the zinc block to the two direct officials.

After all, the two were veterans, and one of them took the zinc and looked at the color, and then drew it lightly with his fingernails, and knew that it was not tin, because tin was much softer than zinc.

The two of them couldn't help but sweat, their previous disdain and arrogance had already flown out of the clouds!

At this time, Wu Zetian looked at the hammer carefully, and asked someone to hand it to Wu Sansi.

Na Wu Sansi took it, looked at it and kept nodding: "It's indeed a hook, and the color is still very positive." ”

At this moment, Wu Zetian suddenly looked at the paper wrapped with zinc and tongs just now, and said to Wu Yanzhi: "Yanzhi, did you write this poem?" ”

Wu Yan listened, terrible! How good is this?

It turned out that he had nothing to do in the Taoist temple on weekdays, so he practiced calligraphy. Of course, this practice is the best way to write ancient poems, and I casually wrote my favorite poems of Li Bai and Du Fu to practice writing.

At that time, I was looking for something to wrap zinc and brass, and I was reluctant to take new paper to use, so I took this paper to wrap these two things, and I didn't care about it at that time.

Now that Wu Zetian suddenly asked about the author of this poem, it was not easy for him to do it.

If it was said that it was not written, the emperor would definitely go on to ask who wrote it?

If you say that you wrote it yourself, it doesn't seem to be very good, it's obviously stealing Li Bai's things! Isn't it a thief or a thief?

He was in a dilemma, Wu Zetian stared at him like a torch, and he felt a little nervous.

In a hurry, he had no choice but to grit his teeth: just be a thief!

So he said loudly: "Grandmother, this is my grandson's practice when he practiced calligraphy, the paper is expensive, and the grandson is reluctant to throw it away, so he will take it and wrap it!" ”

After saying that, he still had three points in his heart like a thief for the first time.

"Hmmm! Very good, I didn't expect that our martial arts family also has a talent like Yanzhi.

Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles.

If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear.

When the world saw my constant tune, they all sneered when they heard Yu Dayan.

Xuan's father can still be afraid of the next generation, and her husband is not young.

The first sentence is bold, and the last sentence shows the arrogance of the flames, which is rare! Where can the average person write? What is the name of this poem? ”

"This ...... My grandmother praised it. The grandson has not even reached the Ming Sutra, how dare he be a genius? This poem is called 'Reading Zhuangzi with feelings'. He gave the poem a name randomly, and it was impossible to say the name of Li Baiyuan's poem casually.

"Humph! I'm going to punish this examiner! My grandson is so good at writing, why can't he even reach the Ming Sutra? It must be that they are favoritism and cheating, and they all admit some children of big clans and scholars, and look down on the poor clans! "Zetian was furious!

Wu Yanyi looked at it, don't let the chief examiner's secretary Wailang lose his official position because he copied a poem. Then he prostrated his head and said,

"Grandmother's anger! Grandson's poem is also a wonderful hand to get it by chance, and the Ming Jing exam does not test poetry, so grandson did not pass the first, I'm afraid it's no wonder that the main test teacher! ”

As soon as he heard that Wu Yanzhi was speaking for the main exam, Wu Zetian's anger calmed down slightly, and said: "That being said, it is also true that they look down on our small clan and the Shu clan. Punish the main examination of this section for one season, give one of the next exams, and transfer him to serve as the commander of Lantian County! ”

Wu Yan listened, it's no wonder to me, Wu Zetian has always liked to suppress the Shi clan, and you deserve to be unlucky this time. Then, Wu Zetian asked the two direct officials again, but they wanted to continue to test Wu Yanzhi.

The two were frightened, and the official took the lead in proclaiming: "Your Majesty! Wu Lang is talented, this "Seven Golden Essence" should be true, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves, and ask Zhishi to retire! ”

Wu Zetian was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Since Wen Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing, the two direct officials, said that this book is true, it proves that Yan Zhi has real talent and real learning." You two don't have to be a magistrate, continue to be a straight official!

Fabricated! The book offered by Wu Yanzhi was beneficial to the country, so according to the custom, he was given the same policy and the first subordinate temple to register my uncle's house into the clan register.

Then give Wuyan's Donglai County Gong, 2,000 households, and 300 households. Ren Dongguan Langzhong is also a copper and iron envoy, and then concurrently serves as the chief official of Shangfang Supervisor, and is given a scarlet fish bag. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Yanzhi was so excited that his heart beat one hundred and fifty times a minute.

Finally, as soon as I got out of the mountain, I directly entered the middle and high-level of Da Zhou!

(In the Tang Dynasty, those who presented their works to the emperor were regarded as the first in the policy examination after a simple examination, and they would be awarded officials immediately, which was extremely honorable!) For example, Du Fu is. ）

About the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou) official system: The Tang Dynasty official system was very complex, with a system of dispersion, posts, lords, and knights. The importance of the rankings is also in this order. The lowest is from the ninth rank, and the highest is the first grade, for a total of thirty steps.

1. Above the third grade should be divided into positive subordinate, and below the fourth grade, in addition to the positive subordinate, it should also be divided into upper and lower levels.

2. The county prince is the second rank, of course, this is not an official rank! Wu Yanzhi himself has no background, and after becoming a county prince, he automatically obtains the lower rank of the sixth rank, that is, the official rank.

If he becomes a substantive minister, this is the sixth grade of the lower rank, which is his own product! At this time, the quality of the officer is more important than the ministry officer.

3. His own product is the lower rank of the sixth grade, and the ministry officer is the winter official (Ministry of Industry) Langzhong who is from the fifth grade, and the ministry officer has stepped into the ranks of the five high-ranking officials. (Grade 3 or above is expensive; The five grades and above are nobles, all of them are high-ranking officials, and they are naturalized. ）

But his own product is still not high, and he has not entered the fifth grade, so his status is not very high.

4. The grade of the official's own product and the official position he holds may be different. The official position is higher than this product, that is, "guarding a certain official", and vice versa, it is "doing a certain official". Wu Yanzhi is the "Winter Guarding Guanlangzhong".

5. The color of the official uniform worn by the official is in accordance with this product. Three grades and above, purple clothes, with goldfish bags; Five grades and above, scarlet clothes, with whitebait bags; Six or seven products, green clothes; Eight or nine products, Tsing Yi.

Wu Yanzhi's original product is the lower rank of the sixth grade, and he is not qualified to wear the scarlet clothes that symbolize the identity of the fifth-grade high-ranking official. Therefore, Wu Zetianxia made a book, "borrowing a scarlet fish bag", that is, you can temporarily wear a scarlet coat and match a fish bag.

Wearing a scarlet robe and a silverfish bag is a great honor.

6. The most important thing is that there are 300 households with food seals, which is a great benefit. That is, you can choose a place, and if you have 300 households with taxes and other things below 7 dings, you can get two-thirds of them, and you can inherit the food seal.

7. In addition, the county prince also has 35 hectares of Yongye field, and Langzhong also has 6 hectares of vocational field, adding up, Wu Yanzhi's land is 41 hectares, that is, 4,100 acres, and the vocational field is a field distributed according to the level of officials' positions.

8, Wu Yanzhi's current identity: the scattered rank is the sixth rank of the lower rank; The ministry is the winter official Langzhong, who is from the fifth rank, and concurrently serves as the direct official of Shangfang; The Medal did not; The title is the second rank of the county duke.

In addition, there is an envoy ---- copper and iron envoy. The envoy is a temporary dispatch, a messenger.
