Empress Wu convened everyone and asked who could be the general to crusade against the traitors.

To go to the crusade, you must be a loyal minister with actual combat experience, if you defect, the Tang Dynasty is in danger. Originally, Hei Zhi Chang Zhi was the best candidate, and the Turks were pacified not long ago, but Hei Zhi Chang Zhi was recommended by Li Jingxuan, the former prime minister, Li Jingxuan had a close relationship with the five surnames and Qiwang in the court, and Wu Zetian did not dare to use him.

Shen Sanwen knew that the black tooth Changzhi was loyal, but he was killed by the cool officials later, and he had the intention to let him go on the expedition at this time to show his loyalty.

It's a pity that the Manchu Dynasty recommended the Li clan who defeated Tubo twice, Li Xiaoyi, who was closer to the rebels.

Although Li Jingye is behind the general, he has shallow experience, and he is several times the enemy's army, which is an easy credit.

Seeing that the general had been determined, Shen Sanwen immediately recommended Wu Sansi and Wang Bin as generals.

Wang Bin's father was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and he didn't say a word about it, and I don't know whether this credit was good or bad.

Wu Zetian played accurately.

After getting off the court meeting, Shen Sanwen hurriedly found Wang Bin, "This time, the crusade against Li Jingye is an opportunity for meritorious service, remember to pay attention to safety, and you can come back in more than a month." Wu Sansi is scheming, don't compete with him. ”

Wang Bin was also speechless about this, "If I am injured on the battlefield, how can you feel at ease." It's good if you win, if Li Xiaoyi is defeated, I don't know if I can come back. ”

Shen Sanwen didn't care, "I was tired of you last time when I made a note, and this time I will give you this real credit as a way to make up for it." ”

Wang Bin returned home, and the royal father beckoned him to ask. "How close you are to that Shen Fuma, it doesn't matter if you are your father, don't do anything that insults the lintel, and put loyalty first in everything."

Wang Bin: "The child remembers his father's teachings and is loyal and patriotic. ”

The royal father asked again, "Are you prepared for this crusade against Li Jingye?" How does the colt talk to you? ”

Wang Bin: "The horse thinks that Li Jingye will inevitably be defeated, this is a great merit, and it is enough to pacify the rebels for more than a month." ”

Father Wang: "Shen Yuma and Cui Cha participated in Pei Yan today, and Master Pei was more auspicious than lucky." If you have the opportunity, you must persuade him not to help him commit abuse. ”

Wang Bin: "Isn't he at odds with Cui Cha?" ”

Father Wang: "But the two have the same political views, and they both regard Pei Yan as a thorn in their eyes." ”

Wang Bin: "Pei Yan is not a lonely minister, how can the Queen Mother easily move this person?" ”

Father: "You should prepare well, the battlefield is no better than at home, safety first." ”

Wang Bin packed his bags, and on the second day, he embarked on the journey with Wu Sansi.

Following the Empress Dowager's order, the nearby prefectures and counties requisitioned grain and shipped quickly, and soldiers from all over the country would trek to the border of Runzhou and obey Li Xiaoyi's dispatch.

When the 300,000 army arrived, Li Xiaoyi observed for half a month, and fought with it for half a month, Li Jingye was defeated and left, and he wanted to cross to Goryeo in the east and was captured.

The good news came, and Pei Yan was beheaded for public display.

This is the end of a generation of powerful ministers.

Li Xiaoyi was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, Wu Sansi was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wang Bin chose to go home to stay.

The former military department was still in the book, and consciously made way for Wu Sansi.

Since Pei Yan's death, the court seems to have returned to the time when Gaozong was in charge of the government.

Not as if, it's a fact.

However, Li Jingye's rebellion this time made Wu Zetian extremely uneasy, and both the government and the opposition had voices opposing her dictatorship.

It's another day, a new morning morning.

Empress Wu took the lead in reversing, "This palace wants to return to Your Majesty, what do you think?" And signaled the emperor not to make a statement yet.

It's definitely not good.

There are still many courtiers who came out to echo and praise the Queen Mother's reasoning and benevolence.

I don't know how they have been in the court for many years.

The emperor broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and when the voices of these courtiers calmed down, Empress Wu asked him again.

Li Lun: "I don't know the government, I don't dare to accept the government, the queen mother is in the court, I can carefully cultivate the prince." ”

The Queen Mother agreed at the moment, "Since the emperor is not accepted, then from today onwards, the palace will decide the government on its own, and the emperor can rest assured." ”

This move caught everyone off guard, for thousands of years, no woman has ever done this, and the harem is also cultivating young princes, and there has never been a military queen like this, so that the emperor can rest assured and make his own decisions. Although Lu Pheasant was in the court, he did not throw the emperor aside, what was this going to do?

However, Wu Zetian's military power is in his hands, and he also has a great foundation in the court, many followers, and the forbidden army also swear allegiance to her. Everyone in the DPRK and China can say words of allegiance to Li Tang, but how many people can really admonish them to the death? From today onwards, the Empress Wu officially announced her decision on major matters, and how many people dare to use black yarn hats to gain this reputation?

It's just a drift of the Wave tribe. At this time, although Xu Jingzong had passed away, Xu Jingzong's loyalty to the queen at that time and the wealth and power he obtained still made everyone unforgettable.

Wu Zetian judged that the situation was very strong, and now there was still some public opinion before he became emperor, and he needed to replace a group of obedient and useful newcomers in the court.

After the next dynasty, Wu Zetian recruited his henchmen and the princess to discuss the matter, and Shangguan Wan'er was allowed to speak. Cui Cha is actually among them.

"Nowadays, there are many pedantic people in the courtiers, and they are learning outdated knowledge, which is not enough to make the world prosperous, what does Cui Qing think should be done?"

Cui Cha: "Officials often collude with rich businessmen to harm the people, so that the people are unable to pay taxes and become slaves. ”

The answer to the question of governing the country was okay, but Wu Zetian was not satisfied, and asked others.

It's not that everyone doesn't understand what she means, that is, they are dissatisfied with the family and want to change to someone who is obedient instead of only shouting the slogan of loyalty. But to be this kind of person, he seems to forget his roots, is looked down upon by his colleagues, and is easy to lose his trust in the martial arts.

Several people from humble backgrounds finally reacted, this is the meaning of changing people, and everyone thought of the imperial examination without exception.

In front of the imperial examination, the concubine is not so important. Reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles, knowing the affairs of the country and the world, and having the ability to govern the world, this is the talent needed by the imperial examination, and the talent that can be selected by the imperial examination. is not the son-in-law of a family of gate valves with a prominent identity, profound Confucianism, and intertwined power.

Shen Sanwen came out of the queue at this time, "Emperor Wen of Sui created a science and technology, and the person selected was the protégé of the Son of Heaven." Xing Imperial Examination, with current affairs as the topic, with a vague name test paper fair referee, can select talented people. ”

In fact, a paper paper does not have so much effect, it can only show a person's vision and attitude towards things.

However, the exchange of blood is the most important thing at this time, and it is also what the Empress Wu needs the most.

Although the people of the three provinces and six departments can also have this loyalty, they can't compare to the ones they have single-handedly pulled up, and after years of life, people can learn different officialdom philosophies.

Shen Sanwen put forward a lot of perfect suggestions, the township test, the state test, and the palace test formed the permanent department, and the temporary selection formed the Enke, and the selection was carried out at all levels, and finally the emperor personally presided over the assessment, and those who passed were directly awarded officials.

Empress Wu was overjoyed when she heard this.
