Chapter 38: No. 1 in the World

In Ziwei Palace, having just summoned the dignitaries of the three provinces, Wu Zetian was already a little tired.

She lay on the couch as usual, her face pillowing her hands and pretending to sleep.

Several palace people carefully changed the incense and blew out several palace lamps, making the dormitory a little darker.

Shangguan Wan'er is usually going to be with her, and recently she has been in a clean and peaceful state, so Your Majesty's mood is quite calm, and the small sleep at noon these days has made Your Majesty sleep a little deeper.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian, who was in a false sleep, said: "Has Qin Shaoyou taken office?" ”

At this time, Qin Shaoyou was asked, which made Shangguan Wan'er smile bitterly, His Majesty was very impressed by this person, it can be seen how clever this guy is, in fact, even Shangguan Wan'er knows that that guy's performance in front of His Majesty can be described as wonderful.

"I arrived yesterday and was sent to teach poetry."

"Poetry?" Wu Zetian opened his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "My ministers, when did they become so worry-free, those doctors actually knew how to be eclectic, why did they suddenly not care about Qin Shaoyou's background?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and said: "The ministers are still those ministers, how could they suddenly change their temperament, it's just ......"

"Say it."

"The poetry texts of the four disciplines are terrible, last year's Guozi monitoring exam, there were not even 12 out of 10 who passed, those doctors, but shrewdly, let Qin Shaoyou teach poetry, isn't it just a broken jar?"

"Broken jar?"

"Yes, anyway, when the time comes, the poetry of the Four Sects of Learning is bad, and it is not just right for Qin Shaoyou to be a scapegoat, in the opinion of the ministers, Qin Shaoyou will not be able to stay in the Four Sects for long."

"Really?"

"Do you want to say hello to Guozijian?" Thinking of His Majesty's concern for Qin Shaoyou, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Qin Shaoyou.

Those old officials who have learned four disciplines, which one is not a chicken thief, and he is very good! It is said that they take good care of Qin Shaoyou, and make an exception to arrange for him to live in a dormitory that only doctors are qualified to enjoy, not only that, but also specially sent a Xu official to take care of his daily life, all kinds of methods of killing are really endless, and Qin Shaoyou is really a vulnerable group in the eyes of a clear-eyed person like Shangguan Wan'er, and even Shangguan Wan'er is a little unhappy for Qin Shaoyou.

Wu Zetian smiled, she stretched lazily, and then glanced at Shangguan Wan'er meaningfully, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

After a long time, she suddenly whispered, "People...... It was recommended by Lu Sheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, what does it have to do with me? There is no need to say hello, so as not to give people a handle, I see, it is not me who is in a hurry, it should be Lu Shengcai, I heard that many rumors have been unfavorable to him recently, recommending a cook to be an official, and he is also entering the four schools as a teaching assistant, which is a very courageous move in itself, and now he is shouted by everyone, if the time comes, Qin Shaoyou is still a straw bag, and the four schools will deal a fatal blow to Qin Shaoyou, and drive him out of the four schools in one fell swoop, and Lu Sheng, I am afraid that he will also be prepared to meet the storm, the reproach of his colleagues, and the impeachment of the imperial envoy. ”

"So......" Wu Zetian closed his eyes and snorted: "So let the person who should be in charge of everything take care of it, I don't do anything." When you sleep, you can go down and rest. ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head in her heart, she suddenly found that she sympathized with Qin Shaoyou, it was really a little inexplicable, this guy ...... I don't think it's really funny and generous.

……………………

Qin Shaoyou settled down, the place where he stayed was a small attic, originally the teaching assistant was not qualified to live, but it was empty anyway, in the words of the amiable supervising doctor Wang Yan, it is rare to have a young handsome man to teach, and the school is up and down, and he should be cared for.

The supervising doctors all have such an attitude, of course the rest of the people didn't dare to put on any stinky faces on Qin Shaoyou, and when the teaching assistants saw that he was young, they all guessed in their hearts that this guy's background must be extraordinary, so at night, a teaching assistant named Zhou Yang invited wine in his dormitory, invited some good people, invited Qin Shaoyou, and drank a few glasses.

Qin Shaoyou pretended to be drunk, but he knew very well in his heart that these guys wanted to find out some news from him, but he ...... I won't let you inquire.

He is new to officialdom, but he also knows that in any society, no matter whether you have a background or not, you must not leak your hole cards, and the unknown background is actually a real strategic deterrent.

The more this was the case, the more the guests and hosts were happy, and he returned to his place drunk, and Wu Yong, the official specially assigned to take charge of his daily life, took off his boots for him and waited for him to sleep.

And when the day got up, Qin Shaoyou was going to teach, but suddenly remembered that when he was drinking last night, he heard that the four schools did not teach in the morning, and only taught for an hour in the afternoon.

It's so relaxing...... Qin Shaoyou shook his head, such an official, except that he has no oil and water, is really good.

He dressed and wore shoes, and after washing, Wu Yong brought him breakfast, the Tang people ate really in the morning, it stands to reason that the people here should have two meals a day, at least most of the civilians are, but the officials or the rich are different, because breakfast and dinner are too far apart, so three meals are formed, morning and evening are dinners, and noon is refreshments.

Of course, the food was very unpalatable, which made Qin Shaoyou want to roll up his sleeves and go to the room to let those guys see why the flowers were so red, but in the end, he still held back, no matter what, he wanted to be a teacher, he had to look like an official, and he would carry a kitchen knife every day.

After eating, he decided to go to the street to buy some daily necessities, because he was in a hurry to move in, many living utensils were not complete, this place is close to the West Market, and by the Zhou Wang Temple, it is said that the Hu and Han there are mixed, and everything is peddled.

After leaving the four schools, before the direction could be identified, a carriage stopped at the door, and a servant came over and said, "My lord has invited Assistant Teacher Qin." ”

"Who is your adult?"

"Assistant Teacher Qin will know when he gets in the car."

Qin Shaoyou is not afraid, in broad daylight, what are you afraid of?

He stepped on the high stool and got into the car, and he saw a pair of dead fish eyes, sharp as knives looking at him.

It's Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was wearing a civilian suit and glared at Qin Shaoyou viciously, Qin Shaoyou said embarrassedly: "Why are the seniors here?" ”

Lu Sheng wanted to go crazy, if it wasn't for himself, he wouldn't come.

During this time, he was subjected to a lot of criticism, and even the Imperial Envoy's Inspectorate was searching for his black materials. This put him under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't breathe anymore, but when he learned that Qin Shaoyou was actually teaching poetry and books in the four disciplines, he sat on the ground at that time, almost without the old blood spurting out.

Lu Sheng regretted it, regretted not being at the beginning, he knew that on that day, he simply asked Shi to return to his hometown, and this official didn't do it. But now, it doesn't count as recommending a cook, this cook has also entered four schools, and the professor is actually a poetry book, seeing that the test is imminent, as soon as he reaches the middle of the year, it will be a three-school joint examination, once the results are revealed, with the basis of four poetry books, coupled with Qin Shaoyou, a guy who is out of tune, it will definitely be a failure at that time.

He recommended a cook, but at least he said that he was talented and learned. Although he has been questioned, no one can say clearly if he has just learned this thing, even if he wants to find his fault, he can't find it for the time being, but once everyone finds out that Qin Shaoyou is a straw bag, it will be really over, and his official position will definitely not be kept, and he may have a bad reputation, and everyone will shout and beat him like a rat crossing the street.

He was angry, he held back his anger for a few days, and when he saw Qin Shaoyou at this time, he still couldn't express it.

There's no way, it's useless for you to get angry at him, if you get angry, even if you beat him, can you solve the problem?

So Lu Sheng still smiled, but his smile was getting more and more inferior, and it was really necessary to make up for the actor's self-cultivation.

"How's it going?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "It's all very good, several adults value the lower officials very much, and they are worried about the seniors." ”

"You're teaching poetry?"

"Yes, Dr. Xiaguan Meng can afford it, and what he teaches is poetry and books."

"Are you sure?"

"I want to come...... It's uncertain. ”

"What do you mean by wanting to come?"

"Senior, I don't like to brag, so I naturally have to be humble when I speak, and I can't say that Lao Tzu is the best in the world." Qin Shaoyou was more aggrieved than him.

Lu Sheng was on fire, this nameless karmic fire had been burning in his stomach for many, many days, and now seeing Qin Shaoyou's attitude, he finally broke out: "Ridiculous!" If you don't find another way, what is it like to come, what is self-humility, and what is the first in the world? You killed the old man, do you know? The old man is about to become a street rat, do you see how those colleagues make fun of the old man behind their backs? The old man has no goldfish bag around his waist, it's a big deal to go back to be a rich man, but if he loses his reputation, even the neighbors have to make fun of him, can the old man's daughter still get married? ”

"Yo, senior, you still have a daughter." Qin Shaoyou's body was shocked, and he looked at Lu Sheng hungrily.
