Chapter 447: Meeting Wu Zetian
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."
"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die."
..............
and so on, all of which demonstrate the fact that in ancient times, especially in the era of the supremacy of imperial power, the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, was the center of the whole world, the so-called Chrysostom, that is, as long as he spoke, no matter whether it was right or wrong, anyone must obey, and anyone who disobeyed would end up absolutely tragic.
Although Wu Zetian is only the queen mother, she is only one step away from the emperor's position, and the Tang Dynasty from the prime minister to the peddlers and pawns all know a fact, that is, Wu Zetian's decree is more effective than the emperor's decree.
In this case, don't say that Duan Jian is a small six-grade official, even if the prime minister comes, he doesn't dare to say that he will leave, but Duan Jian actually did it, the Tang Dynasty has been founded for decades, and this kind of thing has happened for the first time.
Looking at the back of Duan Jian limping away, everyone outside the Zhenguan Hall was shocked in their hearts, they knew that something was wrong.
If it is said that there is a huge earthquake in other people's hearts, then the parties, the culprits who caused all these things, Wang Guilin's heart is completely turbulent.
Duan Jian was summoned, but he left privately, how he would be punished, Wang Guilin didn't know, but Wang Guilin knew that if this matter broke out, the Queen Mother would definitely investigate it in detail, and at that time, he, the culprit, would be completely guilty.
"No, we can't let him leave, otherwise, our family will be completely finished."
With an idea in his heart, Wang Guilin's body quickly rushed out.
Paragraph ...... Duan Langjun, please stay, the Queen Mother beckoned, how can you leave without permission, you are resisting the decree, but if you want to connect the nine clans, aren't you afraid? After crossing Duan Jian, standing in front of Duan Jian, and stopping him, Wang Guilin roared with a fierce face.
"Oh, Zhulian Nine Clans, a certain is also afraid, but what can I do, I want to meet the Queen Mother, but you are blocking the lower officials, what benefits do you want, the lower officials are upright, and they don't even have the money to support their families, what benefits do they get, so the lower officials can only go back to sell the house and sell the land, and when they have enough benefits, they will come to meet the Queen Mother, but they will also trouble the father-in-law, if the Queen Mother asks about the lower officials, please explain it for the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful here."
Looking at the deliberately pretended fierce face, Duan Jian was disdainful in his heart, and teased, he is not afraid of making things bigger, anyway, he has already suffered twenty boards today, the bigger the matter this time, the more he will be beaten a few more boards, but this dead eunuch Wang Guilin will be completely harmed, deliberately obstructing the minister's visit, this is the most feared thing by the emperors of all dynasties, how can he be easily spared, if he encounters a kind-hearted emperor, he may still have a chance to leave a small life, but when he encounters a person like Wu Zetian, he will be beaten to death with a stick, Throwing it out to feed the dog is probably the lightest punishment.
"Hmm....... You....... You can't go. ”
Seeing that Duan Jian was not worried, and still wanted to go out, Wang Guilin was completely flustered in his heart, speaking of which, they, the eunuchs or palace maids in the palace, don't look at the high-spirited ones on weekdays, but they are also the most knowledgeable about current affairs, they know where they can be arrogant at all, so they will desperately protect the interests of the emperor or other nobles in the palace, if they lose the protection and support of these nobles, their lives may not even be as good as a dog.
"Hey, hey, what does my father-in-law mean by this, you don't let the lower officials go in to meet the Queen Mother, and you don't let the lower officials leave, what do you mean, do you want the lower officials to live here." Duan Jian said with a sneering face.
"You ........."
"What kind of noise, alarmed the Queen Mother, can you afford it?"
Just when Wang Guilin was in a hurry, a cold voice came from the main hall.
Immediately, a slender figure appeared at the door of the main hall.
Seeing that slender figure, whether it was a eunuch or a palace maid at the entrance of the hall, whether they had an official position or not, they all bowed down to her and said, "I've seen Shangguan Lady." ”
The person who came was none other than the number two person in the Luoyang Palace, Wu Zetian's closest confidant, Shangguan Wan'er.
"Hey, Shangguan Niangzi, you can come, you see, this ignorant child, his official position is not high, but his courage is not small, Niangniang asked people to invite him to come to see him, but he is good, when he arrives here, he is going to turn around and go back, it's really damned."
After seeing Shangguan Wan'er come out, Wang Guilin changed his arrogant appearance in front of Duan Jian just now, looking like a loyal dog, bending over, hunching his back, and taking small steps, he trotted to Shangguan Wan'er's side, and at the same time stretched out his hands, wanting to support Shangguan Wan'er, if you don't know, you still think that Shangguan Wan'er is Wu Zetian.
"Long time no see, lady."
Looking at Shangguan Wan'er, who had become a lot richer in front of her, Duan Jian grinned the corners of her mouth and said with a bright smile, there was no stammering in that tone, and there was no flattery, but it was like a friend who had not seen her for many years, so plain, but with a little concern in the blandness.
"There is Lao Duan Langjun who is worried that the slave family is in the palace, if it is not good, there is nothing good in this world."
As if she heard the sincerity and care in Duan Jian's words, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little touched on her face, and hesitated for a moment before she barely stabilized the commotion and replied slowly.
"Since you're here, why don't you go in, you've been beaten with twenty boards, and you can't even walk."
After a brief explanation, Shangguan Wan'er asked.
"Hey, hey, this matter Shangguan Niangzi is going to ask this father-in-law next to you, this father-in-law said, there is no benefit, even if you die, you can't enter this Zhenguan Palace, no, you are going to go back and find a way, see what other valuable things are at home, so that you can sell them until you have enough money and come over." Duan Jian replied with a grin.
Hearing Duan Jian's words, Shangguan Wan'er, who was still weak as warm water before, instantly turned into a sharp sword at this moment, turned her head, and looked at Wang Guilin, who was constantly smiling beside her.
"Ah, you kid, you dare to talk such nonsense, bad for our family's reputation, really damn it, damn it."
After saying this to Duan Jian, he turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and desperately defended, "Shangguan Niangzi, don't believe his nonsense, a certain is to see that he is not well-dressed, and said a few words to him, but he has a grudge, so framing the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are really wronged, if you don't believe it, you can ask, these people are here just now, what is going on, they know best." ”
At this time, Wang Guilin's intestines were even repentant, he couldn't have imagined that the things he usually did neatly listened to would have become like this today, if he had known that Duan Jian was a stunned young man who didn't understand anything, he might as well let him in, why bother to make trouble to this point for a little money.
Not only regretted it, but he was also afraid, don't look at Shangguan Wan'er and it doesn't seem to have any rights, but no one in the palace knows that Shangguan Wan'er's wrists are very black, otherwise, a yellow-haired girl of this age, just relying on Wu Zetian's favor, will not get the respect of these people.
Thinking about Shangguan Wan'er's methods, Wang Guilin was so frightened that he even trembled a little when he spoke.
"Really?"
Shangguan Wan'er didn't think much about Wang Guilin's explanation, she still looked at him, and coldly spit out two words, and at the same time, the eyes that seemed to be cold light stared at him continuously, and only slowly retreated after a while.
"Okay, Niangniang is already waiting inside, you better hurry up and go in with the slave family, otherwise, if Niangniang gets angry, she will beat you again with twenty boards, and you will have a hard time."
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Duan Jian as if she didn't intend to pursue this matter.
"Well, since even the Shangguan lady has spoken, the lower officials can only follow orders." Duan Jian said with a somewhat indifferent shrug.
.............
"Whew"
Looking at the two people who entered the main hall, Wang Guilin secretly wiped his forehead, feeling a cold feeling on his hands, it turned out that his face was actually covered with sweat during the kung fu just now, and he was blown by the cool breeze at this time, and he felt extremely awkward.
"Niangniang, Duan Jian has brought it."
After entering the Zhenguan Hall with Duan Jian, Shangguan Wan'er said to Wu Zetian on the high dragon chair.
"Well, come close."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's expression did not change much, but it surprised Duan Jian, you must know that ancient China was the capital of the country that paid the most attention to etiquette, although the Tang Dynasty belonged to a relatively open dynasty in history, but when it came to the etiquette of the imperial court, it was also extremely particular, among them, the etiquette of meeting the king was the most of them, and everyone who met the emperor had to learn the rules in advance, otherwise, you would not be allowed to meet the emperor at all.
And when you meet the king, your status is different, and the position you stand in is absolutely different, the higher your status, the closer you are to the emperor, and the lower your status can only stand in the distance.
This arrangement, in addition to showing the emperor's respect for those noble people, is also for safety, don't look at this Zhenguan Hall looks extremely quiet, but as far as Duan Jian knows, there are no less than ten elite guards in this hall every moment to secretly protect Wu Zetian's safety.
Doubting in his heart, Duan Jian's body did not hesitate, but strode forward two steps, of course, he was not stunned, he really walked in front of Wu Zetian, but stood in the center of the hall, and stopped.
"Come to the mourners."
Seeing that Duan Jian was stagnant, Wu Zetian spoke again.
Duan Jian walked a few more brisk steps, and did not stop until he was in front of Dan Pi, and at this time, the distance between him and Wu Zetian was less than two zhang away.
"Yes, compared to two years ago, it is indeed much more mature, I heard that you also have a child, it seems that this is different with a child, in this way, if you are free another day, bring the child, let the mourning family see."
If Duan Jian was shocked just now, he was completely speechless with surprise at this moment.
After all, he had thought about how Wu Zetian would talk to him, whether to reward him or punish him, he had made predictions, but he didn't expect that Wu Zetian would actually talk to his friends like him.
Don't talk about him, I'm afraid that none of the other ministers have this kind of treatment.
"Hmm..... Wechen obeyed. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Duan Jian didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't answer, "Queen Mother, Weichen will bring the child to see you if he has the opportunity." ”
At that time, even if Wu Zetian doesn't punish him, don't look at him, I'm afraid he will treat him like a fool.
As if he also felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, Wu Zetian immediately changed the topic and said, "You just know, do you know why the mourning family recruited you to Beijing this time." ”
"Weichen is stupid, please show the mother." It's not that Duan Jian is modest, it's that he really doesn't know why Wu Zetian summoned him back to Luoyang, the divine capital.
"Do you still remember that night two years ago, the mourning family saw you for the first time, at that time it was determined that you were a talent, and then it turned out to be so, first dedicated movable type printing, a weapon for the benefit of the country and the people, so that countless poor students have the hope of progress, in the past two years, although the time is pressing, but the movable type printing still has a huge harvest, only the poor children of the reader, several times the original, which is also the reason why the mourning family implements many policies to facilitate the people, can be implemented smoothly.
Later, you solved the food crisis in Chang'an City, and helped the mourning family to survive a catastrophe in disguise, which can be described as a lot of credit, originally the mourning family wanted to let you experience a few years by your side, and then let it go out to use, but unfortunately, current affairs are stronger than people, and in desperation, you can only let you go to the land of Jiangnan, in this regard, the mourning family also feels a little guilty about you, fortunately, after you arrived in Jiangnan, you did not give up on yourself, but made great contributions many times, went south to quell the rebellion of Jianzhou, and helped Di Aiqing to quell the rebellion of the thieves of the Tiandao Sect, Some time ago, I helped the army to suppress the rebellion of Xu Jingye's traitor, think about it, you are not very old, and you have not been in the office for a long time, but you can make more contributions than many old ministers in their seventies and eighties, which is really incredible! ”
As he spoke, Wu Zetian himself couldn't help but sigh.
"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, Weichen is just close to his duty, and he can't talk about any credit." Duan Jian said modestly.
"Duty, duty, yes, if everyone in this world is duty, why do they have so many troubles." Wu Zetian sighed.
After sighing, Wu Zetian came back to his senses and said, "Although this is the duty of a courtier, it is really rare for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to be like you, meritorious service is rewarded, and if there is a fault, it is punished, this is the rule of the imperial court, and it is also the law of the imperial court, so this time the mourning family just took advantage of this opportunity to recruit you to Luoyang City to serve, on the one hand, it is to reward you for your merits, on the other hand, it is also to give you a chance to enjoy the family, I hope you can understand the mourning family's intentions, and in the future, you will wholeheartedly contribute to the Tang Dynasty and the mourning family." You get the idea. ”
