It has been five days since the end of the imperial examination, and according to the experience of previous years, within these two days, the final admission results will come out, and tens of thousands of scholars in Chang'an City are in a state of anxiety.

After the end of the imperial examination, most of the scholars knew that they had no hope of admission and had left Luoyang to return to their hometowns, but there were still tens of thousands of scholars who had a hope in their hearts and stayed to wait for the final admission results.

In Wu Sansi's house, Cao Wen walked quickly through a small courtyard and came to Wu Sansi's study, at this time, Wu Lixiang happened to walk out of the study, quietly pointed to his father's study, said that it was good news, smiled at him again, and left.

Cao Wen looked back at her slender figure and walked away, his eyes showed a look of intoxication, and after a while, he walked into Wu Sansi's study.

Since Wu Chengsi was severely reprimanded by Wu Zetian in the Wu Chengsi incident, Wu Sansi has been much more honest during this time, and he did not dare to take advantage of Wu Chengsi's opportunity to incorporate the Wu clan, but just devoted himself to the final construction of Tianshu, and began to prepare for the construction of the Ming Hall for reconstruction.

Although Wu Chengsi was completely overthrown, Wu Sansi also paid a great political price, the most important thing was the breakdown of the alliance with Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Chengsi left a letter to the saint when he left, telling the saint the cause and effect of this assassination, in fact, it was to expose what Wu Sansi did in the assassination case.

However, the saint didn't seem to really anger himself because of this, which made Wu Sansi see a glimmer of hope again.

Cao Wen walked into the room and bowed deeply to Wu Sansi, "Your subordinates see His Royal Highness King Liang!"

"Cao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite!"

Wu Sansi smiled and said: "I want to tell you a good news, you have passed the thirty-fourth place in the exam, and you are famous on the gold list!"

Cao Wen was overjoyed in his heart, but he restrained the ecstasy in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully: "This is His Royal Highness's great love for his subordinates, and his subordinates will remember it in their hearts!"

Wu Sansi nodded with satisfaction, this is where he likes Cao Wen, he has a city government, a brain, and understands that he is the source of his future, if this person can be cultivated well, and then encouraged, he will inevitably become his right-hand man.

"I'm going to enter the palace to face the saint later, I'm afraid I will talk about some things about the Jinshi sending officials, I just want to ask you, would you like to be sent abroad or stay in the court as an official?"

Cao Wen hesitated and said: "If your subordinates want to lay a good foundation, it is best to be sent as an official!"

"As I thought, besides, what do you plan to do about lilacs—" Wu Sansi stared at him sharply.

Cao Wen lowered his head and said after a while: "Being the son-in-law of His Highness, Cao Wen dreamed of it, and begged His Highness to give me a little time, at the latest in half a year, I will definitely marry Lilac." ”

Wu Sansi also knew that Cao Wen was a man with a wife, and divorced his wife at will was not good for his reputation, so he couldn't be too anxious, so he nodded, "Then I'll wait for you for another half a year." ”

Cao Wen said goodbye and retired, then left the Liang Palace, and hurried home, he was worried along the way, although he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was not happy at all.

As soon as he walked into Fushanfang, he faintly heard the sound of gongs and drums, Cao Wen didn't care at first, but the closer he got to home, the louder the gongs and drums became, and he began to wonder in his heart, only to see that the door of the house was crowded with neighbors, his mother Meng was throwing a lot of money out, so happy that her mouth couldn't close, more than a dozen people were beating gongs and drums on the side, and everyone was full of joy.

At this time, Li Quan saw her husband, she ran over excitedly, hugged him tightly, she could no longer restrain the joy in her heart, and cried loudly, "Buddha slave...... You've passed the test. ”

"Cao Gongzi has passed the exam!"

There was a cheer all around, the tolerances rushed up, and Cao Wen was covered with red and green, Cao Wen's mind was blank, and he was confused and was helped on a tall horse by them, in the sound of gongs and drums, Li Quan's eyes were red, pinching handkerchiefs, and tears blurred her eyes again, at this moment her heart was full of pride, her husband was admitted to the Jinshi ......

Wu Sansi walked into the imperial study and saluted respectfully, "See Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wu Zetian was carefully browsing the roster of one hundred and twenty jinshi, and the first champion was He Zhizhang, a member of the Four Ming Dynasty, this was the champion she hand-picked, she had read He Zhizhang's article, and it was really talented, which made her admire, this was the champion she wanted.

Wu Zetian put down the roster and said lightly: "I came to you to talk about the rebuilding of the Ming Hall, last time you said that it would be repaired within a year, but I feel that one year is too long, and I hope you can shorten the construction period by a few more months." ”

"But...... The only way to shorten the construction period is to increase the number of craftsmen, and then the cost will be—"

"Money is not an issue!"

Wu Zetian interrupted his words and said in an accentuated tone: "The income of the White Horse Temple is enough to rebuild the Ming Hall and Heaven, and Heaven can be slowed down, but I hope that the Ming Hall will be completed in nine months, there is no problem!"

"Wechen obeys!"

Wu Sansi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly calculated in his heart that if it had to be completed in nine months, he could only implement the second set of plans, making the new Ming Hall slightly smaller than the old Ming Hall, so that it could be completed on schedule.

Wu Zetian was more satisfied with his attitude, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job of counting the belongings of the White Horse Temple, and all the valuables can be matched with the palace inventory one by one, it seems that I have not mistaken anyone in terms of property." ”

Wu Sansi was secretly grateful to Mr. Ming in his heart, if it weren't for Mr. Ming himself, how could he get the praise of the saint now, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "As long as you use dim sum, you can do things well." ”

"You are right, there is nothing difficult to do, just be afraid of your intentions, you are a shrewd person, as long as you put your heart into building a Ming Hall and other important things, you can also be the prime minister. ”

Wu Sansi trembled with excitement, the saint was hinting to him that as long as he built the Ming Hall well, he might be promoted to Xiangguo.

"Wechen will definitely do his best to serve His Majesty. ”

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, and said earnestly: "The Wu family is a rising star, and it is not as profound as the Li family's royal heritage, in this case, the Wu family must be united, and they must no longer attack each other as before, let alone scatter the sand, as the head of the clan, you have the responsibility to bear this burden!"

Wu Sansi was overjoyed in his heart, the saint was hinting that he could integrate the Wu family and bring all the faction of Wu Chenghei under his command, he was excited in his heart, and gave a deep salute, "The little nephew will never let my aunt down." ”

Wu Zetian didn't continue to say more, this kind of thing is over, if Wu Sansi still doesn't understand, then he is an incompetent and useless person.

At this time, her eyes fell on the list of admitted jinshi, and there was a note behind each jinshi, indicating who recommended it, for example, He Zhizhang was recommended by Zhongshu Shilang 6 yuan, Wu Zetian's eyes fell on the twenty-four Cao Wen, and said with a smile: "Is this Dunhuang scholar Cao Wen recommended by you?"

"It was recommended by Wechen. ”

"Does he have any background?" Wu Zetian asked again.

"Back to His Majesty, this person was born poor, was originally a scribe in Dunhuang County, has not been allowed to reuse, so he came to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination, Weichen heard that this person's calligraphy article is excellent, so he temporarily used him to sort out the documents for me. ”

Wu Sansi didn't dare to say that Cao Wen was Li Zhen's brother-in-law, which would pull Shangguan Wan'er in, and he avoided why he knew Cao Wen.

Wu Zetian didn't ask much, she wanted to give Wu Sansi a little reward, and the person he recommended was the best reward, Wu Zetian smiled and said, "What ambitions does he have in life?"

"He wanted to be a magistrate and benefit one party. ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, "I know, you step down!"

"Wechen retires!"

Wu Sansi retreated contentedly, he had a gut feeling that it would definitely be a wise move to kill Wu Chengsi.

Wu Zetian looked at Wu Sansi away, she slowly walked to the window with her hands in her hands, staring out the window, as Gao Yanfu said, she no longer has much confidence in the Wu family to replace the Li family, for so many years, she has severely suppressed the Li family, so that the Li family and the courtiers have deepened their resentment against the Wu family, once she is a hundred years later, can the Li family still let the Wu family go?

For the long-term development of the Wu family, she must alleviate the increasingly deep enmity between Li and Wu on a certain course, and severely punish Wu Chengsi in this context, but after punishing Wu Chenghe, she also wants to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Wu family, so reusing Wu Sansi has become a means to alleviate the Wu family's dissatisfaction with her.

There is also the Li family, the position of crown prince has been empty for so long, it is time for her to reconsider.

Wu Zetian is the emperor of the world, and the essence of the emperor's art is balanced

The much-anticipated imperial examination is finally on the list, and the talented son of the Four Ming Dynasty, He Zhizhang, deserves his name, and he lives up to expectations and wins the champion, and the list is the grandson of Cui Renshi, the scholar of the Chinese scholar, and the talented son Cui Xiang of the Boling Cui family, Tanhua was won by Gao Jian, the staff of Princess Taiping.

Although Dunhuang Cao Wen was admitted to the twenty-fourth Jinshi, when he was conferred the official, he unexpectedly obtained a high position and served as the county magistrate of Ge County, the governor of Xuzhou, which was the county magistrate of the seventh grade.

Even the champion He Zhizhang was only awarded the Doctor of Seven Grades and Four Doors, but Cao Wen got the local lack of knowledge of the county, this appointment was a sensation, but when many people knew that Cao Wen's backstage was Wu Sansi, everyone suddenly realized

Li Zhen had little interest in Cao Wen's examination and appointment as a county magistrate, he had been training a polo team in the imperial city these days, preparing for the arrival of a polo tournament, and not only that, but he also had to participate in the martial arts held in early March, although the martial arts no longer meant anything to him, but having a reputation was always good for his career.

In the riding shooting range, Li Zhen is galloping on horseback, watching a large number of guards on both sides, Li Zhen's magic arrow is widely rumored among the guards, mainly due to the shooting of tigers and leopards in danger in last year's winter hunting, but most of the guards have not seen it in person, and Li Zhen's practice on the riding shooting range today suddenly attracted a large number of guards to come to watch.

The war horse galloped, the dust was flying, Li Zhen had already galloped out of the horse a hundred paces away, at this time, he pulled out two arrows from behind, one arrow was bitten in the mouth, and the other arrow stretched the bow string, the bow was like a full moon, and suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, but he did not stop, the war horse ran a few steps, and the second arrow in the mouth was shot immediately, but no one knew what the target of the second arrow was?

A hundred steps away, a string of copper coins is hung on a wooden stake with a thin rope, the copper coins reflect the light, the thin rope sways in the wind, even if you shoot the thin rope, it is difficult to shoot the thin rope, if you want to make the copper coin fall to the ground, there is only one way, that is to shoot the thin rope on the beam of the wooden stake.

I saw that the arrow shot by Li Zhen flew like lightning, in the middle of the wooden stake beam, the rope broke, and the copper coin fell suddenly, which immediately caused a cheer and cheers, and then the second arrow shot to, and the copper coin fell in the middle of the air, the arrow body sank slightly, but it was still strong, and he flew out twenty steps while wearing the copper coin, and he was in the middle of another wooden stake, nailing the copper coin to the second wooden stake.

The surrounding guards were suddenly silent, and then the applause was like thunder, and more than a thousand guards burst out like a tsunami, these two arrows shot wonderfully, which opened the eyes of the guards and amazed them.

Li Zhen put down his bow and smiled and saluted the guards watching around, which attracted a round of applause.

Li Zhen returned to the resting place in a corner, and the guards also dispersed, Zhang Li gave a thumbs up and praised: "The commander's archery skills are getting more and more sophisticated!"

Li Zhen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Compared to Dunhuang, the feel is still a little worse." ”

He looked around again, and now there was one missing, and asked, "Where's the fat guy?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen saw Jiu Zhi galloping from the horse road in the distance, and his expression seemed to be very anxious, so he greeted him with a smile, "Old fat, what's wrong, so anxious?"

Jiu Zhi panted and said, "Lao Li, you can go to Nanshi and have a look! Sister Quan is going to sell a wine shop." ”
