At noon, the imperial study room of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital.

Wu Zetian was reviewing the folds, and under his bow, there stood Master Pei of the Ministry of Rites and Lord Shang Shu Luo of the Ministry of War.

Master Pei handed over the excerpt and said, "Your Majesty, the list of the top 30 Jinshi this year has come out."

While the little eunuch hurriedly took it and handed it over, Wu Zetian took it and said, "Well, I'll look at who there are this year." opened the fold, but saw that the first place was Li Xiuyuan, and said to himself, "Li Xiuyuan? Who?"

Master Pei hurriedly said, "It's a native of Qiantang Taizhou, Jiangnan Province."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, since ancient times, Jiangnan has many talents, and it is really good, so who is this second place Gao Tianbao?"

Master Pei hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, this person is from Panlong Town, Panlong County, Guannai Province, and I heard that he is still the protégé of the Prime Minister."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh? Zhang Cambodia's protégé? Master Pei, when you read the papers, you won't be mixed with feelings, right?"

Master Pei was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the reading of the file is to seal the file and read the file, the officials do not know the name, and after the inspection of the micro-minister, this person's style is indeed the first."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, that's good, but you said that this person's talent is indeed the first, so why is it the second place?"

Master Pei hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, judging from this paper, Gao Tianbao is indeed the first, slightly better than Li Xiuyuan, but because his handwriting is not neat enough, the volume is also ...... It was not aesthetically pleasing, so after our discussion, we agreed that it could be put second."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "It is really undeserved for someone with such literary talents to make such a low-level mistake, and it is not unreasonable for you to do so."

Master Pei said: "Wei Chen heard the invigilator report that when the college examination was held, Gao Tianbao was the last to arrive, in rags, and it was Lord Zhang who interceded to enter the exam, and then when the exam took place, his hands and feet trembled, he held the pen uncertainly, his spirit was not good, and when he was about to end, he suddenly fainted, what may be the reason for this."

Wu Zetian groaned, "Ragged clothes...... It's so strange, this person, I'm a little curious...... Master Pei, the Jinshi examination is related to the selection of talents in the imperial court, you have to be selfless, spend more time, and the Ministry of Rites will re-examine, and I will personally go over to invigilate the examination, you can prepare."

Master Pei was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order."

Wu Zetian continued to look at it, and then looked at the two names of Li Xiuyuan and Gao Tianbao at the beginning, hesitated and mentioned the two arrows with a red pen to swap the two names, wrote a quasi-word, and handed it back and said: "The imperial court takes talent as the priority, and Gao Tianbao's scroll is excusable for uncleanness, so it can be put first for the time being."

Master Pei hurriedly bowed and said, "Obey." Bowing down and taking the aisle, "The minister is leaving." As he spoke, he bowed and retreated.

Wu Zetian turned around and said, "Lord Luo."

Lord Luo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "The minister is here."

Wu Zetian said, "How is the situation over there in Wuju?"

Lord Luo hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the first test of martial arts began yesterday, and it is going well."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, okay, this martial arts is different from previous years, and there will be envoys from various countries to observe the finals, which is related to the national body and face of my Great Zhou, and there can be no mistakes."

Lord Luo hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen understands."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "It's good to understand."

At this time, I saw a little eunuch running in in a little panic, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty......

Wu Zetian instructed: "You just go down first, if there is any situation in Wuju, just discuss it with the Prime Minister."

Lord Luo hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order, and the minister retreats." As he spoke, he bowed and withdrew.

Wu Zetian watched Master Luo go out, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so flustered?"

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, look at this." As he spoke, he carefully handed over a notebook.

Wu Zetian took it and looked at it carefully, and was so angry that he threw the fold on the ground and said angrily: "Nonsense, how can it be reasonable, I dare to say that I am ungrateful, and the rabbit is dead and the bow is hidden."

The eunuch was startled and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, this rumor

It's spread in the capital."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "It's spread?"

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor, if you don't investigate and deal with it strictly, I'm afraid it will affect the emperor's prestige."

Wu Zetian was taken aback, thought for a while, and said: "Spread my will, strictly investigate in Dali Temple, and find that there are rumors, and severely punish them."

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Obey." As he spoke, he bowed and withdrew.

Wu Zetian pondered, clenched his fists, and said to himself, "You have all gone to reincarnate and reincarnated, and you still can't get along with me...... Who the hell is going to have trouble with me?"

At this time, I saw a eunuch walk in and bow down and say, "Your Majesty, King Liang asks to see you."

Wu Zetian was shocked: "Think twice? What is he going to see me for?" He hesitated, "Pass."

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Obey!" As he spoke, he bowed and withdrew.

After a while, I saw Wu Sansi hurriedly come in, knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......

Wu Zetian was surprised: "What are you doing here? Why are you crying?"

Wu Sansi said sadly: "Your Majesty, our martial arts family can't do without the emperor, if there is no emperor, our entire martial arts family will definitely be raided and wiped out."

Wu Zetian was dissatisfied: "I'm not dead yet, why are you talking such nonsense."

Wu Sansi said sadly: "Your Majesty, Wechen didn't say nonsense, Wechen is scared."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Afraid? What are you afraid of? With me here, who dares to touch you in the slightest?"

Wu Sansi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, haven't you heard a rumor in the capital recently?"

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Rumors? Are you talking about King Wei?"

Wu San was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can you ignore our martial family."

Wu Zetian hesitated and persuaded, "This is just a rumor, how can you take it seriously, can I ignore the martial family? This Great Zhou Jiangshan, it is still surnamed Wu."

Wu San was taken aback and worried, "But the emperor ......."

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "You don't need to say it, just because of such an empty rumor, you ran to me and cried and grabbed the ground, what kind of system did it spread, and where is the face of the martial family?"

Wu San said anxiously: "But the emperor, not only Weichen, but even the rest of the Wu family are also very worried, so they asked Weichen to make it clear to the emperor that if the emperor really decides to change the surname of the Great Zhou Jiangshan to Li, Weichen is willing to lead the army to the battle, and he is willing to die on the battlefield rather than die unjustly for no reason in the future."

Wu Zetian said angrily: "Bastard, when did I say that Da Zhou was going to change his surname to Li? As long as I am in one day, this big week will still be surnamed Wu."

Wu San was taken aback and worried, "Your Majesty ......

Wu Zetian said weakly: "Okay, you don't need to say more, the crown prince has not ascended the throne for a day, as long as I still have a breath, I will not allow this kind of thing to happen...... I understand what you mean, you should step back first, I'm tired."

Wu Sansi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian was dissatisfied: "Didn't you hear what I said? Stand down."

Wu Sansi was frightened for a while, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the emperor, Weichen has retired." Hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

Wu Zetian watched Wu Sansi withdraw, and for a while he was powerless, and said to himself, "Why? Why are you all here to force me? What the hell am I supposed to do? Are you all satisfied?"

In the afternoon, a restaurant in Luoyang, Beijing.

In the private room, Chi Xie and Wu Sansi were discussing something.

Wu Sansi arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the national teacher's fingers."

The Red Evil smiled and said, "Now you know that the national teacher is powerful, right?"

Wu Sansi smiled, "I know, of course I know."

Chi Xie said: "Your Majesty, she wants to return the country to the Li family? How can this be? If this Great Zhou changes his surname to Li, your martial arts family will have no place to die."

Wu Sansi hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord is right, although our martial arts family and their Li family are like well water and river water, and they are in harmony, but in private there is a constant struggle, if this balance is broken, our martial family will definitely be liquidated by them."

Red Demon nodded, "So,

We must remind the emperor more in front of her while he is still deaf and dumb."

Wu Sansi hurriedly said, "Yes......

"And the cooperation between us?"

Wu Sansi hurriedly said: "The national teacher is willing to help this king ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and this king can't ask for it."

The Red Evil nodded and said, "Okay, good, then I wish us a happy cooperation." As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass.

Wu Sansi hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Happy cooperation, happy cooperation......" The two of them drank it all in one gulp, and smiled at each other.

In the afternoon, the capital Luoyang Qingxu view the secret room.

The Red Evil is reporting something to the jade-faced fox.

The Red Evil bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have done as you say, and King Liang is happy to cooperate with us."

The jade-faced fox nodded and said, "Okay, that old woman is on top of the Taimiao, let Li Wu and the two families swear an oath, thinking that they can solve the grievances between the two families, how can this be so easy?" Now, when the samurai are sincerely afraid and isolated, we pull them along, and of course they can't ask for it."

Chi Xie smiled and said: "The king is wise, the king took advantage of the fact that Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei, jumped into the moat to catch a carp to death, and spread the rumors, alluding to the old woman's rabbit and dead dog, trapping the martial family in danger, it is really high, this can not only shake her determination to return the country to the Li family, disturb her mind, but also cause the dissatisfaction of the martial family, and intensify their contradictions, it is really a double win."

The jade-faced fox nodded and said: "Wu Chenghei was the pioneer who supported her as the emperor at the beginning, and it can be said that her hands were stained with a lot of blood of the descendants of the Li family, catching carp and offering it to the emperor, this discerning person will understand the truth at a glance, and now, Wu Chenghei's death, of course, she can't get rid of the suspicion of rabbit and dead dog."

The Red Evil was puzzled, "Great King, do we really want to support Wu Sansi as the emperor?"

The jade-faced fox sneered, "He? He's just a temporary helper from this seat, he's the emperor? I'm afraid I won't be able to die yet."

The red evil was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The king is wise."

The next morning, at the gate of Shilixiang in Luoyang, the capital.

Shilixiang opened, the golden lion danced wildly at the door, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers rang out, gathering a large number of people to watch the excitement.

Sister Xiu, Tianbao, Aixue, Beauty, Qingnu, Wuzhong, Xiaoyu and others gathered at the door, very happy.

After a while, Sister Xiu was cheered by everyone, and as soon as she pulled the ribbon, the red cloth on the plaque fell, revealing the gold-lettered signboard of ten miles of incense, and everyone shouted and applauded: "Okay, good ......" They were all very happy, and the firecrackers crackled......

In the morning, at the gate of Shilixiang in Luoyang, the capital.

Sister Xiu, Tianbao, Aixue, and Lux greeted the guests at the door, and said with a smile: "Please inside, please ...... inside."

"Today's opening is auspicious, all kinds of dishes are 20% off, 20% off......

"20% discount, everyone, please hurry, it's a rare opportunity."

The guest was surprised, "Really? The 20% discount is so cheap, so you must try it, and ...... go."

"yes, taste it, let's go......

The guests rushed in, it was very lively, and Sister Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw it......

In the morning, the capital Luoyang Shilixiang.

On the counter, Sister Xiu was busy settling bills for the guests, and the guests came and went, in an endless stream, even the beauty, Wuzhong, Tianbao, and Aixue also helped to serve the dishes to greet the guests, and they were very busy......

After a while, the beauty sent a guest to the door and said, "Walk slowly, welcome to come back next time."

The guest smiled and said, "Okay, such a delicious dish, I will definitely come again next time."

The beauty sent the guests away, returned to the counter, and said with a sigh of relief: "Sister Xiu, there are so many guests, I believe that Shilixiang will soon make a name for herself in the capital."

Sister Xiu looked at the noisy lobby and nodded, "I didn't expect that there would be so many people on the first day of opening today, and I was really a little busy, I'm really embarrassed, you are already guests, and you still have to help."

The beauty smiled, "It's okay, seeing that everyone is so busy, how can we be embarrassed to stand by and watch."

Sister Xiu shook the beauty's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you."

The beauty smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Xiu, I'm going to get busy." As he spoke, he turned around and walked in......
