In the middle of the night, Tang Ao still hadn't come back, the oil lamp was about to go out, Xinyue woke up the sleeping Princess Taiping: "Your Highness, let's go back!" Tang Ao may not be back tonight. ”

Xinyue secretly wondered in her heart, could all this be providence? Doomed to be unchangeable?

Princess Taiping opened her sleepy eyes, thought for a while before remembering what she was here for, and then yawned: "Sister Xinyue, I'm so sleepy, can you carry me back?" ”

Half an hour after Xinyue and Princess Taiping left, Tang Ao returned to the small courtyard sweaty, and as soon as he came in, he smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, even if he hadn't seen him for a few years, Tang Ao could smell it, it was a body fragrance that belonged to Xinyue and Princess Taiping.

Tang Ao didn't expect Xinyue to come to the door, and he also took Princess Taiping with him, looking at the messy footsteps on the ground and the messy bookshelves that were turned over, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

Tang Ao and Xinyue's second daughter missed each other because they had just returned from Taibai Mountain, and when they returned home from the wine shop during the day, they accidentally received a letter from Lu Zhaolin, inviting Tang Ao to go to Taibai Mountain, saying that they had found something related to Jinye Dadan, and asked Tang Ao to go.

Because of Zhao Daosheng's relationship, Tang Ao has taken more care of Lu Zhaolin who lives in seclusion in Taibai Mountain in the past two years, and he has learned from Lu Zhaolin, Lu Zhaolin is half of Tang Ao's teacher, such an invitation, Tang Ao can't help but go.

Tang Ao arrived at Taibai Mountain in the evening, and dinner was also eaten at Lu Zhaolin's place, after which Lu Zhaolin handed a brocade box to Tang Ao, saying that it was found under the mountain stream where the gold liquid was found, hoping to be useful to Tang Ao.

Originally, Lu Zhaolin would not be so attentive, but once chatting with Tang Ao, mentioning Zhao Daosheng, it inevitably involved Ming Chongyan, Tang Ao inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth, the gold liquid Dan had been eaten by him, and he picked up something related to the gold liquid Dan again, of course Lu Zhaolin wanted to inform Tang Ao.

Tang Ao was worried that he would be late to return to Chang'an and delay tomorrow's Golden Palace banquet, so he didn't even look at what was in the brocade box, so he hurried back, but he didn't expect to smell the aroma of the two women as soon as he entered the house.

After Tang Ao felt nostalgic for a while, he took out the brocade box from his arms, the brocade box was not as big as a palm, but the material was difficult to distinguish the gold and stone, and he couldn't find the place to open the door.

Tang Ao took a basin of water, put the brocade box into the water to clean, and it took a long time to reveal the true face of the brocade box.

There are words at the bottom of the seal, and it comes from the same source as the Taoist scriptures practiced by Tang Ao, Tang Ao suddenly cheered up, this thing is related to the golden corpse, maybe it comes from the mirror flower world.

After careful identification, Tang Ao recognized that there were four words at the bottom of the seal, Tianshu greedy wolf, secretly combined with the Taishang Seven Star Method, it seems that this seal is similar to the treasure of the Panlong sword in the hand of Ming Chongyan.

It's a pity that Tang Ao can't verify it, because he has the realm of refining and refining qi, but he can't use it, do you want to check it in Xinyue? Tang Ao gave up this idea after thinking about it.

Tang Ao then put his mind on the periphery of the Tianshu greedy wolf seal, which was engraved with a mysterious pattern, an unheard of pattern, and there seemed to be people and things, and he couldn't help but guess, that was the mirror flower world? It's not the same as in my dream!

Tang Ao didn't sleep all night, meditated and practiced qi until the fifth watch, feeling refreshed, and yesterday's fatigue was swept away.

Standing outside the palace gate again, Tang Ao was full of emotion, he used to go in and out often, but he was either as a scholar or sneaked in, but today he walked in as a Jinshi Tanhualang, and he walked in with dignity, thinking about it.

A few years ago, he was just a wandering beggar in the West City, a little novice in the Shenghua Temple, who would have thought that there would be today? In response to that sentence, the world is like a chess game, and it is impossible to speculate!

After a short time, the Jingyang bell rang, the palace gate was wide open, and Tang Ao and the new science and technology scholars walked at the back and went straight to the Golden Palace.

The civil and military officials were the first to enter, Tang Ao saw it clearly, the leader was Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan, and several other familiar people, Xue Yuanchao, Gao Zhizhou, Di Renjie and so on.

Pei Yan is the head of the auxiliary ministers, when Li was seriously ill, he asked his consul general to assist the crown prince Li Xian, and after Li Xian ascended the throne, Pei Yan moved the political affairs hall from Menxia Province to Zhongshu Province, becoming a powerful figure in the government and the opposition.

The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and after a short time, Li Xian, who was dressed in an ochre yellow dragon robe, walked out, and the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian came out with Li Xian, but she was sitting behind the phoenix curtain.

During Li's serious illness, Wu Zetian decided on everything in the imperial court, even if Li Xian ascended the throne to inherit the throne, this practice did not change, Li Xian didn't care about it, anyway, there was Pei Yan under the queen mother, and it was not his turn to call the shots in everything.

Li Xian was very happy today, because when Tang Ao Jindian was interviewing, he was handpicked by him as the third Tanhualang in the first class.

Originally, Li Xian wanted Tang Ao to be the champion, but he also knew that Tang Ao was the champion before he reached the crown, which seemed to be a little inappropriate.

However, this morning, the court will be awarded the rank of first-class non-commissioned officer, and Li Xian has already thought about it, and he will definitely keep Tang Ao by his side.

It is a major event in the imperial court to open a branch and take scholars, and Pei Yan's admission of Jinshi this time is nothing more than a set of articles that praise virtue and flowers.

According to the usual practice, Pei Yan asked Li Xian to determine the official position of the first class and three jinshi, and it is needless to say that Zhuangyuanlang must have been compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and this position has been fixed since the Great Sui Dynasty.

The second-place list, who was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, did not deviate from the convention, but when the third place Tanhua was mentioned, including Pei Yan, the ears of those who knew the relationship between Li Xian and Tang Ao were erected.

Especially Pei Yan, his eyes subconsciously crossed Li Xian, looked at Wu Zetian behind the phoenix curtain, and thought in his heart that this might be the opportunity he had been waiting for!

After Li Xian mentioned Tang Ao's name, he paused slightly: "Tang Ao has been brilliant since he was a child, and he has been studying poetry and books with me for many years. ”

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, the Golden Palace was almost in an uproar, the Yellow Gate Squire? That is the adjutant of Menxia Province, who has the right to enter and exit the forbidden palace, has access to many court secrets, and his status is very important, so he actually granted Tang Ao, a new science and technology scholar, such an important position? Even if Tang Ao is a tanhua, it is not in line with the etiquette system!

Zhuang Yuanlang was awarded the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, but it was only from the rank of the sixth grade, the compilation of the Hanlin Academy was the seventh grade, and Tang Ao was awarded the Huangmen Shilang, the third-grade high-ranking official and dignitary of the Eight Classics, this gap is too big!

Pei Yan felt that Li Xian was a little nonsense, and regarded the opening of the imperial court as child's play, and said when the palace was on the top: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, Tang Ao has learned a lot, but how can he be a master, he is a third-grade master, and he spreads Kyushu, doesn't it make people all over the world laugh?" ”

Liu Weizhi, the waiter of the Chinese book, saw the eyes handed by Pei Yan, and took a step sideways and said: "Your Majesty, there are many lawlessness in Yuzhou Assassin Shi Wei Xuanzhen, and Weichen thinks that it is very inappropriate to enter Wei Xuanzhen as an official in the middle of the service. ”

Another minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Yulang can't read big characters, how can he be an official of the five grades, and the ministers are very frightened......

Li Xian felt that something was wrong, he granted Tang Ao the official position of Huangmen Shilang, he didn't care how many grades the Huangmen Shilang was, but because the Huangmen Shilang could enter and leave the palace, this was also the only way Tang Ao could always accompany him, how did it get to Wei Xuanzhen and Lin Yulang?

Wei Xuanzhen is Li Xian's father-in-law, Empress Wei's father, and Lin Yulang is the son of Li Xian's nursing mother.

Tang Ao not only knew Wei Xuanzhen, but also played with Lin Yulang, Wei Xuanzhen has been an official in the outer court for a long time, Tang Ao doesn't understand, but Lin Yulang is really not good-looking, and it is definitely not the material to be a five-grade official.

Tang Ao saw Li Xian's face pale, Tang Ao, who knew Li Xian's personality, knew that Li Xian was angry, the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military, and Tang Ao didn't want Li Xian to do something that was not in line with the king's etiquette.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is only shallow in his studies, and he has already transgressed the position of Tanhua, and the position of the Yellow Gate Squire is unacceptable, and I hope Your Majesty will take it back."

Tang Ao was kind-hearted, but Tang Ao obviously didn't notice that what Li Xian cared about was not the official position of Huangmen Shilang, but what Pei Yan said that Wei Xuanzhen was not worthy of being a waiter.

Among the provincial servants, this is the official position that Pei Yan held before, and he is one of the prime ministers, Wei Xuanzhen is the emperor's father-in-law, and then serves as the prime minister, how can Pei Yan control the government? Even without Wu Zetian's instructions, Pei Yan would not agree.

Pei Yan glanced at Tang Ao, felt that Tang Ao was quite interesting, and knew that Tang Ao had followed Li Xian since he was a child, and this kind of close servant still couldn't be too offended, so he immediately focused his firepower on Wei Xuanzhen.

"Your Majesty, Wei Xuanzhen turned out to be just a member of the army in Puzhou, a small official in Shudi, his father is noble as his daughter, he is in the shadow of the queen, and the official enters the history of the assassin in Yuzhou.

Liu Weizhi said on the side: "Your Majesty, most of the displaced people in Yuzhou gather outside Chang'an City, as far as Weichen knows, Wei Xuanzhen has done all the bad things in Yuzhou, and the people ridicule Wei Xuanzhen for just giving birth to a good daughter, and there are many disrespectful words to Your Majesty!" ”

After Pei Yan and Liu Weizhi spoke, most of the other courtiers agreed, opposing Li Xian's promotion of Wei Xuanzhen to serve as his servant.

Tang Ao has been involved in the confidential affairs around Li Xian since Li Xian was deposed until Li Xian ascended the throne.

Although Tang Ao is young, the rectification acumen he has cultivated is no worse than these old guys in the court, and before Li Xian felt that something was wrong, Tang Ao felt that something was wrong.

Without waiting for Tang Ao to come up with a strategy to deal with it, the enraged Li Xianhuo Ran stood up, glared at Pei Yan angrily, and said angrily: "Pei Yan, Pei Zhongshuling, this is still my Li Tang's world, right?" This is still my Li Tang's country, right? What is a waiter? I just gave this world to Wei Xuanzhen, why not? What's the matter? ”
