Wu Zetian said again: "Don't worry, first send someone to ask what the character of this little lady of the Pei family is." If it is really a good thing that the young master said, let the concubine see her. Once summoned into the palace, there will inevitably be remarks outside. Besides, there are still some days in the wedding period, so it is better to be safe. ”

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Just according to the queen's words." ”

Heavenly family, after all, it is not a commoner's home, and it is a family affair of the prince, and it will cause a sensation in the world if you retire once. If you are dissatisfied in the future, you will step back again, and you will be generous with a smile.

Wu Zetian put down the fold and asked again: "How to deal with that Di Renjie?" ”

Di Renjie returned to Luoyang and was immediately summoned into the palace.

We started talking, and it was still very pleasant. He is knowledgeable, and his words are funny. In fact, Wu Zetian is also reflecting on the problem of Jinshike. Jinshi is expensive, but the acceptance rate is low, there are only a few or a dozen people at a time, even if they are talented, most of them will fail the exam. That's it, it's not every year that the imperial examination is held. As a result, last year, at her behest, the staff was slightly relaxed.

But then Li Zhi changed the conversation and asked: "I summoned you back to the Eastern Capital, why didn't you see me, but went to Songshan?" ”

Di Renjie replied: "There are priorities. The ministers are small, and when they see the saint, they don't have much to do. But I went to Songshan for the sake of the country and the community. Home and all things, the house of the saints, is the home of the world. The saint is the king of the country, and the prince is the future of the country. Think twice. ”

"If you don't go, my family will be discordant?" Li Zhi deliberately misinterpreted, and this question was a bit heart-wrenching.

Wu Zetian understood her husband's thoughts, and pressed these people to help their sons, and they should also pay attention to proportion.

Di Renjie replied calmly: "This is not true, the minister's power is very small, and he can't add icing on the cake to the saint, all he can do is to make the prince and the saint more harmonious." ”

Li Zhi said: "If it weren't for you, I would be more harmonious with the prince." ”

Then Di Renjie was sent out and left in the Eastern Capital, just like a fold, not detained, and there was no disposal. But a few days have passed in a flash, after all, he is the prince's staff, and any treatment of him by the court will make people think of the prince. Therefore, Wu Zetian has this question.

"Let me think about it, Queen, he is the law of the state, why don't you let him serve as the Dali Temple, how about it?"

Dali Temple is first Zhengqing, then Shaoqing, then Sizheng, and then the six Dali Temple Cheng from the six products. However, it is these six temples who are in charge of specific affairs. This kind of promotion is very similar to Wei Yuanzhong's time, it is a promotion, but it is not a prominent promotion, and it will not make people think about it.

"That's a good job."

"But let's let him hang to Hong'er first."

A small Dali Temple can not be compared with the prince, now Di Renjie's most important identity is the prince's staff, followed by Dali Cheng, this is to make an example for the world. I am very good to the Prince!

Wu Zetian began to read the recital again.

This speed is slow, so the twists and turns are piled up day by day.

In fact, in the end, Li Zhi was helpless, so he had to ask Wu Zetian to approve the trivial things. However, what is a big thing, what is a small matter, no matter how small the twists and turns presented to the palace are, it will not be a small matter. Day by day, rights are gradually transferred with the review of these folds. But right now, this right is also a hot potato for Wu Zetian.

………………………………

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

The moon was not yet big, only a curved eyebrow, faintly hanging in the sky. But the night sky is not dark, the stars are racing snow, so the large and small buildings in Luoyang are full of shadows.

"Li Shoucheng, this palace is a little bad." Wu Zetian said with a group fan.

It's Li Zhi who canceled the big pheasant sacrifice, and she herself is not very good. Why cancel? When the people still think of the fluttering, they will think of the warning of the gale. Of course, it's better than holding it, and once it happens, it's a big gamble. If you win the bet, everyone rejoices, and if you lose the bet, there are countless variables.

In addition, many ministers in the court, or they are not used to seeing her as a woman assisting the emperor in handling government affairs, or the death of the queen and Concubine Xiao Shu, as well as Shangguanyi and others, make them dissatisfied, in short, for many reasons, some courtiers can't abolish themselves, and it is best to execute them once and for all. Such a disaster has become the best reason.

Also, the husband's suspicion of himself has not only not been removed over the years, but has increased......

and many other unexpected reasons, even Wu Zetian wondered if her husband did not deal with Helan Minzhi and let the situation expand, whether he deliberately made the people think that he was conniving at his nephew to insult his son and daughter and discredit himself.

"Queen, the slave heard a message."

"What's the news?"

"The bamboos of the prince of Xijing all began to rot, no one paid attention to them at first, but later they saw that the bamboo was really rotten, and many people went to watch it every day."

If it were any other workshop, most of the people would not have noticed. But this was instructed by the prince, and there are many strange sayings, saying that Taizong appeared and asked the prince to make it, and that the emperor and the queen came up with the idea and asked the prince, so the prince experimented here. A lot of sayings.

Another point is that the paper will be very thin and cheap, and the paper will be cheap if it is thin, and the materials are only common materials such as bamboo and lime, but not like paper such as rattan paper in Yanxi, because of over-mining, the materials began to be scarce, can it not be expensive? In this way, maybe people all over the world can afford to use paper.

This meaning is what Bi'er's mother also knows.

Li Shoucheng said again: "The slave maid heard again that there is still a month before the new paper can come out." ”

"Oh, do you think you'll succeed?" Wu Zetian's eyebrows jumped. I thought it was a joke, but the situation is so difficult, if it succeeds, it can resolve at least half of her or her husband's embarrassment! So there was a faint expectation in my heart.

"The slave doesn't dare to say it, but the bamboo is really rotten, maybe it will succeed."

"You go and arrange some manpower to assist the people of the East Palace, and send guards to monitor day and night so that no one can destroy it."

"Whoa!"

Wu Zetian was afraid that Hao Chujun, a minister who was hostile to her, would sabotage it. In fact, these ministers are gentlemen and will not disdain to do such despicable things. However, he was unintentionally inserted into the willows, if he did not send someone to guard it, and finally saw the hope of success, a certain person in Chang'an was very restless.

Li Shoucheng replied and asked, "What if it doesn't work?" ”

"Let's think it's a joke, there are enough jokes anyway."

"Whoa!"

In fact, the bamboo paper Li Wei just wanted to use this to curry favor with Wu Zetian at that time, otherwise what should I do, before he could pass it, the sick prince slapped Wu Zetian with a big-eared melon seed. But he didn't expect that a small piece of bamboo paper would rise to this strategic height......

"How old are you?"

Pei Yuhe was still in a daze, but he was summoned to the palace, and he was uneasy in the face of this great queen. However, she came from a well-known family, had a good upbringing, and had a calm personality, so she replied carefully: "Thirteen years old." ”

"Thirteen years old, that's appropriate."

What's suitable? Pei Yuhe was even more confused by the second monk.

"I've heard that you've read a lot of poetry since you were a child."

"I have read some, "The Analects", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Rites", but I have not finished reading the Nine Classics, and there are some other books."

"Can you be a female red?"

"There will be some."

Wu Zetian took out a square handkerchief and said, "Can you embroider it according to it?" ”

The pattern on the square handkerchief is not complicated, two butterflies, a few small flowers below, Pei Yuhe replied: "This concubine is okay, but it will take some time." ”

"You can embroider here, this palace is not in a hurry."

The queen's order, although Pei Yuhe was suspicious, did not dare to refuse, so he took out the silk thread and embroidery needle and embroidered it seriously.

The appearance is not as good as Yang Min, but he is also delicate, the most rare thing is so small, although he is short, he has no gaffe. From the time they met, to the present, the etiquette is dignified. At the bottom of the list is everyone's famous family, thinking of this, Wu Zetian is a little sour. But unlike Queen Wang back then, Queen Wang came from the most educated family in the world, but she was domineering and empty-eyed. This little woman has a quiet and soft personality.

Seeing her embroidering, looking elegant, and comparing with Yang Min repeatedly, Wu Zetian was a little more satisfied in his heart.

The crown princess, it doesn't matter what she looks like, it's her looks, this little lady of the Pei family is not bad. But morality is very important, and Yang Sijian's daughter is just the opposite. He looks amazing, and his appearance surprises him, so he chose this family business. But what happened later made her dissatisfied for a long time.

After the square handkerchief was embroidered, Wu Zetian took out a piece of jute paper and said, "Write some words and show them to the palace." ”

"Obey," Pei Yuhe picked up the pen and wrote a poem "Yunhan" on paper. The poem is a bit long, and it talks about the drought of King Xuan of Zhou.

Zhou Xuan Wang Ji Jing is the emperor who was pushed up by the minister after the rebellion of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he is very successful, known as King Xuan Zhongxing in history, but when he was in power, he also encountered a major drought, so the poem said that "the drought is both big and very big, and the mountains and rivers are cleansed." The drought is cruel, such as burning". The mountains and rivers are all dry and dry, and the water is the same. Drought was rampant, and the land was like a fire. So King Xuan of Zhou was "as worried as a scent" and prayed for forgiveness.

"It's interesting to be able to choose this poem," Wu Zetian thought to himself as he watched the rows of beautiful small characters fall on the paper......
