As soon as everyone left, Empress Wu's face was pulled down, and her angry willow eyebrows straightened up. Ridiculous, ridiculous! She wouldn't believe what the Dragon King said! The people believe in these nonsense, even these old ministers in the court believe these nonsense, it is ridiculous!
"Someone's coming!" Empress Wu shouted.
Then, another strong man stepped forward, bent down and saluted, "Niangniang, what do you command?" ”
"It is rumored that Chi Zhenjin, the secretary of Dali Temple, came to see him! Forget it, that rubbish! Wu Hou angrily patted the case in front of him and said, "Forget it, there's nothing to do!" ”
Speaking of Yu Chi Zhenjin, she remembered that Yu Chi Zhenjin was demoted by her by three levels, and now he is no longer Dali Siqing. However, thinking about Yu Chi Zhenjin's waste, it is useless to call him here.
Lux was startled and slowly retreated. Anyone can see that Empress Wu is angry at the moment.
The Empress Wu sat down on the soft collapse angrily, and said to herself: "Great country, I believe in the words of those ghosts and gods, but there is no one available!" Dragon King? Where did the dragon king come from? The mourning family just doesn't believe it, if there is a dragon king, he will show up and see the mourning family! ”
Empress Wu was very helpless, although she didn't believe in any dragon kings, but these ministers believed it, and the people of the whole city believed it, she couldn't help it if she didn't believe it!
At this moment, a woman, Shi Shiran, walked in. See Empress Wu. He shouted with a smile: "Sister, looking at my sister's eyebrows, there seems to be something troublesome!" ”
When Empress Wu saw someone coming, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Sister Huanyu!" Where is my sister bothered, it's just some trivial things! ”
The person who came was Concubine Zheng Huanyu, and at this moment, Concubine Shu changed into a pink dress, which made her noble, and a little more fresh and charming. Emperor Li Zhi did not have many concubines. The relationship between concubines. Not bad. Of course, even if some of them were unhappy with the martial arts, they didn't dare to show it. From ancient times to the present, how many queens can listen to politics in the court? Who has the final say in today's Datang? They are like mirrors in their hearts. Now even if you offend the emperor. Nor can you offend Empress Wu. There's nothing to do. ran over and chatted with the Empress Wu. Enhance the relationship between each other, for them, there is only good, no harm!
"It's good that my sister doesn't have to worry about anything. My sister is also worried that coming here will disturb my sister! Concubine Shu smiled.
"Sister sit!"
Empress Wu invited Zheng Huanyu to sit down on her soft collapse. After thinking about it, Empress Wu asked, "I heard that my sister went to Wanhuayuan this morning?" That's not bad there, right? ”
"My sister came here to talk to my sister about this!" Concubine Shu said softly.
"Oh, did my sister encounter any strange sights?" Empress Wu asked.
"Sister, the Dragon King has appeared!" Concubine Shu said softly. Thinking back to what she saw in Wan Huayuan this morning, she was really a little nervous. Soaring water injection, huge whirlpools. If it weren't for their piety, the Dragon King might not have let them go! The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.
It's the Dragon King again! Empress Wu's face instantly became a little unsightly. However, Empress Wu couldn't help but get angry, and said with a smile: "The Dragon King manifests? This is a strange thing, and my sister will tell her sister about it in detail. ”
"Hmm!" Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Today is the Luoyang Flower Festival, and my sister has nothing to do, so I decided to go over and have a look." met a Zhang Gongzi who opened a bookstore, and this Zhang Gongzi is really talented. I wrote a poem specifically for the Luoyang Flower Society, which seems to be like this, 'The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond is pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move Luoyang when they bloom. ’”
At this point, Concubine Shu paused. She wanted to hear Empress Wu's evaluation of this poem, and she thought it was very good. Speaking of Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen's handsome appearance seemed to appear in front of her eyes, slightly tugging at her long-lonely heartstrings. Li Zhi is not in good health and rarely pampers them. Over the years, even their homes have rarely been visited. For women who have been in the deep palace for a long time, loneliness is inevitable. It is precisely because of her loneliness that Concubine Shu took the opportunity of the Luoyang Flower Festival today to go out for a walk and take a look. Look at those handsome boys, although they can't do anything, but they can still look at it!
"The peony is charming and unqualified, and the hibiscus is unkind. A good sentence 'only the peony is true to the country, and Luoyang moves when the flowers bloom', this person is really talented! "After thinking about it, Wu Hou said. The words are heartfelt and heartfelt. Empress Wu is also a talented woman, so she naturally understands the artistic conception of Zhang Chen's poem. To be precise, it is to understand the artistic conception of Liu Yuxi's poem.
"My sister thinks the same! This son Zhang is not only talented, but also not surprised, seeing that his sister is in trouble, he sacrifices himself to protect his sister! Although nothing major happened, his sister also owes him a favor! After thinking about it, Concubine Shu said. She was frightened at the time, and subconsciously hid behind Zhang Chen, always thinking that Zhang Chen took the initiative to protect her.
"Oh, this person is loyal and courageous, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring!" Empress Wu said with a smile. Hearing Concubine Shu say this, she really wanted to meet Zhang Gongzi, who opened a bookstore. A reader who opens a bookstore can still stand up in times of crisis, not bad, not bad!
Next, Concubine Shu told Empress Wu in great detail about the scene she saw at that time. Empress Wu listened and was silent for a long time. She still didn't believe in any dragon kings, she only hated that she wasn't there at the time, otherwise she would have to see who did the ghost and what her intentions were.
Seeing that Concubine Shu continued to exaggerate Chen, Empress Wu wanted to meet this Zhang Gongzi more and more! In fact, Concubine Shu deliberately exaggerated Chen, she felt that Zhang Chen was talented and could be used by the imperial court, and Zhang Chen "sacrificed" to protect her, she owed Zhang Chen a favor and should repay him. As for the Wei Chi Zhenjin who escorted her back, Yu Chi Zhenjin, who was bent on currying favor with her and hoping that she could say a good word for herself in front of the Empress Wu, was completely left behind by her.
"Sister, do you know the specific name of this Zhang Gongzi, and where does he live?" After thinking about it, Empress Wu asked. Now that Datang is lacking talents, this Zhang Gongzi is full of wealth, and he is not surprised by changes, maybe he is really a talented person. It's ridiculous to think that the court is full of people and the opposition, believing in ghosts and gods! That lieutenant Chi Zhenjin was even more angry, and asked him to investigate the case of the destruction of the warship, and after more than ten days, he had no clue at all, and would only find some excuses.
"This, my sister didn't ask much! However, this Zhang Gongzi knows Liu Ruoxi, the first talented woman in the capital, and it shouldn't be difficult to find out! Zhang Gongzi is really a talented person, Ruoxi said the same, it is a waste not to serve the country! Concubine Shu hurriedly said.
Since Empress Wu asked so, I think Empress Wu is also interested in this Zhang Gongzi! If Empress Wu can get Zhang Chen an official and a half-job, then she can be regarded as repaying Zhang Chen's kindness of "sacrificing herself" to protect her. Also, if Zhang Chen is an official, they may have the opportunity to meet again in the future. She is a concubine, and she ran out of the palace to find a man, which is obviously unreliable. But if Zhang Chen can enter the palace, it will be different! Thinking about Zhang Chen's handsomeness, Concubine Shu's heart throbbed a little again.
"Oh, Ruoxi? The person who can be appreciated by Ruoxi must be a talented person! Nodding, Wu Hou said. Now, she wants to meet this Zhang Gongzi even more! If Concubine Shu's praise is not convincing, then Liu Ruoxi's "appreciation" definitely shows that Zhang Chen is not a mediocre person.
"Yes, yes!" Concubine Shu replied with a smile. As Huo Yi said, there is no woman in this world who can resist the temptation of Zhang Chen's face, and there is no woman who doesn't like handsome men!
……
Looking at the heavy rain outside the house, Zhang Chen fell into a trance. From Baguio's mouth, he learned that the dragon king absorbing water is not only unique to Wanhuayuan, but also in the Arrow Lake in the south of Nanshi, there is also a scene of the dragon king absorbing water. If he hadn't seen something swimming in the water, Zhang Chen would have really thought that this was some kind of natural wonder. As for the Dragon King, he obviously didn't believe it.
Zhang Chen also tested Baguio, and from Baguio's words and tone, she didn't seem to know. Even Baguio didn't know what to say, so if Huo Yi did it, Zhang Chen had no bottom in his heart. One thing is certain, though, it's man-made! What dragon king absorbs water, let's go with!
These people are so big that they can make so many dragon kings absorb water. There is also that Yu Chi Zhenjin, thinking of him, Zhang Chen felt a headache. Yu Chi Zhenjin was demoted, where did Di Renjie go? He's not going to get rid of his silver Ruiji, is he? She's his main quest!
The dragon king has appeared, and the people here are so stupid! But this is really a good way, but there is only one person, if he runs out of the river and says that he is the messenger sent by the Jade Emperor to the mortal world to save the common people, will others arrest him as a madman? Although the method is good, I still lack the external conditions and the most suitable time to support myself!
Just when Zhang Chen was thinking wildly, a round thing suddenly flew out of the opposite shop and fell on the street outside, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and it shattered to the ground in an instant, it was a porcelain jar. Then, Zhang Chen vaguely heard the abuse from the shop opposite.
Opposite is a jewelry store, and the owner is a short and fat man in his early fifties, named Du Fugui, who is shrewd and kind to people. Zhang Chen has nothing to do, and he will also go to Du Fugui to play chess, Zhang Chen's impression of this Du Fugui is still very good. Du Fugui has no sons, only three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are all married, and the youngest third daughter has hired a son-in-law to inherit the family business. Du Fugui's third son-in-law is called Mu Houchen, who is a talented person and is very honest. After failing to win the exam several times, he settled down to take care of the Du family's family business. The Du family's family business is not big, nor is it small, and the family property is definitely dozens of times more than Zhang Chen's small bookstore. After all, people make gold, silver and jade jewelry, which is a high-end product. Moreover, Du Fugui is a silversmith, an ancestral craft, and among these silversmiths in Luoyang City, he is also famous.
Seeing that something seemed to be happening in the Du family, after hesitating for a moment, Zhang Chen held up his umbrella and decided to go over to take a look. They are neighbors, and Du Fugui has a good relationship with him, so they can be regarded as friends. Something happened to the neighbor, and he should go over and take a look.
