Chapter 149: Bachelor of the North Gate
'Beimen Bachelor, during the Gaozong period, Empress Wu Zetian, in order to resist the suppression of Wen Daya, Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi and other prime ministers, directly recruited Meng Lizhen, a scholar of Hongwenguan, and Lang Yuan Wanqing, and other talented scholars, and secretly ordered them to participate in the imperial court secrets, so as to share the rights of the prime minister.

In the Tang Dynasty, the official offices are all in the south of the palace, and the courtyard is located in the north of Yintai, Meng Lizhen and others can directly enter and exit the palace from the north gate without going through the south gate, so the world will collectively call them 'North Gate Bachelors.' ’’
After so many years, these 'North Gate Bachelors' really live up to Wu Zetian's weight, with their many plans and operations, Wu Zetian has also changed from the queen mother at the beginning, to the queen mother who is now in power, it can be said that with the rise of Wu Zetian, the group of 'North Gate Bachelors' has also attracted the attention of the world, and now, all the court officials are able to join' The North Gate Bachelor is a great honor, but unfortunately, Wu Zetian also knows that this group is not very upright, so except for some real talents, he does not accept anyone to join.
It's a pity that this great glory is a little difficult for him to decide for the current Duan Jian, for Duan Jian, who is familiar with the follow-up history, in the next few decades, Wu Zetian is indeed in power, and he slaughtered the Li Tang clan in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, with Wu Zetian's old age, the world still belongs to Li Tang, and now he accepts Wu Zetian's reward for him, and in the future, after Li Tang's restoration, this will be his black history.
Besides, even if he relies on his means, he will not be liquidated after Li Tang's restoration, but don't forget that his great enemy in this life, the cool official who brought him two green hats in the original history, is Wu Zetian's favorite pet, just thinking about cooperating with this kind of person in the future, Duan Jian feels extremely uncomfortable.
But if you don't accept it・・・・・・・・ this idea just appeared in Duan Jian's mind, and he was decisively abandoned, although Wu Zetian is not the old lady of Cixi in later generations, it is the kind of 'you make me unhappy for a while, I'll make you unhappy for the rest of your life', but he is not a person with a big heart, just like the original prime minister Hao Chujun, just because when Wu Zetian was the queen, he dissuaded Gaozong Li Zhi, and was hated by Wu Zetian in his heart, and after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in order to retaliate against Hao Chujun, he even beheaded him all over the house, with this previous experience, how dare Duan Jian easily refuse.
Duan Jian's hesitation fell in Wu Zetian's eyes, not only causing Wu Zetian's doubts, "Why, Duan Aiqing has any concerns, if so, just ask." ”
"Well, ah, no, no, Niangniang is so kind to Wechen, how dare Wechen not know how to advance and retreat, it's just that Niangniang's reward is too heavy, and Wechen is too surprised for a while, please forgive Niangniang." Although he was reluctant in his heart, after thinking about it, Duan Jian still decided to accept Wu Zetian's gift, after all, what will happen in the future, that is a matter for the future, if you can't even pass the current level, what will you talk about in the future.
"This palace has always had clear rewards and punishments, today Duan Aiqing has dedicated such a miracle skill to my Tang Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, what is the reward, I hope Duan Aiqing can serve the country more in the future, okay, this is the end of today, Duan Aiqing will retire, Wan'er, send Duan Aiqing." Regarding Duan Jian's answer, Wu Zetian was quite satisfied.
"Wechen retired."
Under the leadership of Shangguan Wan'er, as if she had come, she slowly walked along the towering but desolate palace wall and walked outside the palace.
"This is the North Gate." Along the way, I don't know what's going on, Shangguan Wan'er didn't say a few words to Duan Jian from time to time, as she always did, but was silent all the way, until they arrived in front of a palace gate, Duan Jian suddenly heard Shangguan Wan'er speak.
"Ah, what." Along the way, Duan Jian was pondering what happened today and what impact it would have on him in the future, so he didn't notice Shangguan Wan'er's strange appearance, and it wasn't until Shangguan Wan'er opened his mouth to speak that he woke him up.
Seeing Duan Jian's somewhat stunned expression, Shangguan Wan'er stood in front of the north gate, looked at the huge north gate and said, "This is the north gate, and it is also the place where everyone in the court officials wants to enter and exit now, but unfortunately, there are only a handful of officials who can really enter the palace from here, it can be said that as long as the officials who can step into this north gate, the future prospects are limitless, but unfortunately, who can know that this place not only represents glory, but also the beginning of their future misery." ”
Listening to Shangguan Wan'er's meaningful words, Duan Jian felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he didn't know why this little lady who had only seen two sides would say these words to him, but for those who were good to him, Duan Jian didn't want them to worry.
"The ancients said that 'blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings depend on' The good and bad of life are not the same, but no matter what others do, I will always go tenaciously and will never disappoint those who believe in me and support me." Duan Jian seemed to be muttering to himself, and as if he was swearing to the tall north gate.
Duan Jian's confident oath made Shangguan Wan'er seem to have regained her original wisdom, and said with a smile on her face, "Duan Langjun is a rare talent in the world, I hope what you say can really be realized, in addition, this is the token that Niangniang asked the slave family to hand over to you, with this token, you can enter and exit the palace from this north gate at any time, of course, that being said, if there is no matter, you should not enter the palace casually, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Okay, the slave family's affairs are over, you better go back quickly, the slave family is also going back to repay the mother. ”
Taking the palm-sized token in Shangguan Wan'er's hand, coated with gold dust and written with the words 'North Gate', Duan Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but thinking about it, this was what he had exchanged for movable type printing worth thousands of gold, he still cherished him and put him away, and then said goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er again.
"Today's matter, thank you to the little lady Shangguan, this grace and this virtue Duan Jian is unforgettable, if the little lady needs help in the future, she will be on call and will not delay." For Shangguan Wan'er, Duan Jian's heart was full of sincere gratitude, so Duan Jian, who was very rare, made such a promise.
Hearing Duan Jian's words, Shangguan Wan'er said with a strange smile on her face, "Okay, today's words of Duan Langjun, the slave family remembers them, and I hope Duan Langjun will not forget today's oath." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left in a dashing manner, leaving Duan Jian with a swaying back.
