Wei Xi's hunch was right, and soon, Luoyang became the center of the political vortex, and Datang also entered a dark age. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The existing emperor has reached adulthood, but Wu Zetian is still in charge of the dynasty, and the chicken Sichen has caused all kinds of discussions and dissatisfaction among the relatives of the Li Tang royal family, ministers and people in private, and Wu Zetian is deeply troubled.

She wants to know about the affairs of the people and the opinions of the people, but she doesn't know how to act or it is inconvenient for her to decide in person.

When Yu Shi Yu Chengye (the one who participated in the trial of Pei Yan) went home, he sighed a little and talked to his family about the Queen Mother's thoughts, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to know the way and put forward high requirements for the Queen Mother, but after all, the Imperial History had limited manpower and was busy with official business, so it was difficult to meet the requirements of the Queen Mother.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Yu Chengye's son Yu Baozong was a clever man, and he came up with the idea of flattering the Queen Mother, so he wrote to ask for a suggestion box to receive the book of the Quartet.

A good name is called a suggestion box, and a bad one is a whistleblower box!

It is a multi-purpose copper box, divided into four grids in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each grid is set up with a book mouth, the east grid is painted cyan, called the Yan'en box, the ode to the gift, and the person who seeks the official position votes it; Nange is painted red, and it is said to admonish, and those who say that the gains and losses of the government will vote for it; Sig painted white, said to redress grievances, and those who were wronged voted for it.

The South Dipper is born, the North Dipper is dead, and the North Grid is painted black, called Tongxuan, and this ominous color means that it is specially used to tell the truth!

Seeing the benefits of the informant box, Wu Zetian praised it repeatedly, and promoted Yu Baozong to Langzhong (a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Works), and rewarded him with 200 horses of silk and 1,000 taels of silver! Ordered craftsmen to build, and then on March 8, ordered the copper to be placed in front of the palace gate, and the temple people announced loudly: "The Queen Mother has opened her mouth widely, and anyone who has something can submit a book into the box!" ”

The officials and people passing by looked at this huge monster-like copper box in amazement, whispering, and some people seemed very excited, and soon, a scholar stood in front of the copper box and calmly threw a book into the east grid.

And then a businessman-like man sneakily threw a piece of paper into Beigli!

In the afternoon of the same day, just after the meal, seeing that there was no one, the guarding Imperial Forest Army looked up to the sky and yawned, blinked an eye, and a group of people stood in front of him!

They scrambled to throw all sorts of paper into four grids, and North Grid was the most involved!

When the sun was about to go down in the afternoon, seeing that there was no one, the guards of the Imperial Forest Army yawned again, and in the blink of an eye, there were several people standing in front of them.

Last time, it was more people who put pressure on him, and this time there are fewer people, but the pressure is even greater.

The three officials of the imperial court, the official who made up for the que, and carried the bereaved officials, all arrived, and they had gloomy faces, took out the copper box key, and opened the box to take the surrender!

……

In the palace, looking at the four stacks of books displayed in front of her, Wu Zetian smiled.

In fact, she doesn't need to inspect it herself, just let the officials record it and summarize it for her to see, but she wants to see the harvest on the first day.

She said to Shangguan Wan'er: "In the past, Emperor Taizong watched the new science and technology jinshi enter from the imperial gate, and once said, "All the heroes of the world have entered my country!" Today's submission is here, and the world knows everything about mourning! ”

Wu Zetian was on the rise, and Shangguan Wan'er naturally knew how to speak: "In the past, Emperor Taizong took the scholars, and now the Queen Mother knows the affairs of the world!" ”

"Wan'er is really good at talking!" Wu Zetian praised.

She looked at the four stacks of submissions in turn, picked up Beige's submissions, looked at them with interest, and suddenly, she stopped.

In the blink of an eye, his face turned cloudy, and he instructed Shangguan Wan'er: "Xuanyou Qianniu General Guo Qizong is here!" ”

It's almost night, and he called the general to do something, and soon, when Guo Qizong knelt in front of Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er knew why.

"Catch Yu Baozong!"

Yu Baozong was in the limelight, and naturally some people looked at him unpleasantly, and submitted a letter to Beige, secretly accusing Yu Baozong of teaching Xu Jingye to make knife cars and crossbows, and people told Baozong that the weapons he made killed and injured many officers and soldiers!

Xu Jingye's rebellion is a pain in Wu Zetian's heart, and those who are involved in the border die!

So, Guo Qizong led the decree and set out to capture Yu Baozong!

Wu Zetian left, leaving Shangguan Wan'er in the palace to sort out the information, and said softly: "Do it yourself!" ”

……

When the Yulin Army shouted "Arrest the anti-thief Yu Baozong" and rushed into the Yu family, Yu Baozong's mood was to jump from heaven to hell, nothing more.

When he was escorted to the guillotine at the entrance of the vegetable market, others were already at a loss, and his father Yu Chengye was infinitely sad: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”

Yu Baozong is dead, but the devil has been released, and he laughs wildly and envelops the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, the people of Luoyang continued to submit books to Tongkuang, and then the news spread, and the Queen Mother opened her mouth, the speaker is not guilty, and the one who says is rewarded!

So people from all over the world came one after another, with all kinds of expectations and hopes, and submitted books to Tongkuang.

They saw so-and-so, who was rewarded for offering poetry to the heavenly family, and was promoted to become wealthy; XX was promoted because the advice was adopted; There is also so-and-so who has been wronged because of justice.

Because of the informant, the neighbor was arrested and duly punished.

The Queen Mother kept her word, so everyone was more enthusiastic to submit the book.

"This copper box is erected, and the way of words is opened, it is really good, and the heart of the mourning family is very comforting!" Wu Zetian said to Shangguan Wan'er.

"But most of the people who come to submit books are in Liangdu and the surrounding areas, and the mourning family has a wide range of worlds, how can they not hear about other places."

"Therefore, the proposed decree, all the people in the world can make suggestions to the imperial court, no matter what status! The people from all over the country will be offered the courtesy of the five-grade officials on the journey, stay overnight in the official residence of the post pavilion, and have seven dishes and one soup for the meal, if anyone's secret performance is beneficial to the great plan of the country, they may be promoted to officials, and if anyone's secret performance is wrong or false, they will be exempted from questioning. Wu Zetian's eyes were blazing and he said: "The mourning family wants to let all the things in the world fall into the ears of the mourning family, and it will be presented in front of the mourning family!" ”

"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er condensed slightly and made an article.

When the decree of opening the door to whistleblowers spread all over the world, the local officials were astonished, and each whistleblower was treated as a five-rank official, how much would it cost!

The point is, is the content of this whistleblower really beneficial to the country?

And the people are greatly encouraged, go to the gods to inform, and you can also travel for free, killing two birds with one stone, why not go!

As a result, people from all over the country arrived at the Shendu like a tide and threw their submissions into the copper box.

The post stations were overcrowded and overwhelmed, and the magistrates were anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to offend those cloth clothes who didn't know whether they had seen the silver but wanted to come to tell the truth.

If they offend them, they will tell the magistrate that so-and-so suppresses the way!

Too many submissions, copper redo, double capacity.

There are so many submissions that the Royal Forest Army in charge of carrying them is as strong as a cow.

Shangguan Wan'er had to work overtime often, and even the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department were pulled down.

And Wu Zetian is even more of a pioneer, reading and submitting books until late at night every night, and every day the kitchen gives her a big supplement or a thin appearance.

The content of the people's books includes Zhang San stealing his goose, Li Si scolding him for being shameless, and the poems that the dog P does not understand, and then to the unsubstantiated whistleblowers and so on.

What came into Shangguan Wan'er's mind was what Wei Xi once said, "Picking up pearls in the cabbage pile." She tactfully reminded the Queen Mother to pay attention to her body, but the Queen Mother was happy to do so, saying, "You don't know the benefits of this." ”

The pearl is there, so who will do it?
