Chapter 108 Who is the hero? (Ask for a monthly ticket after the early morning)
Shangguan Wan'er is on the left, Tang Song is on the right... The road follows Wu Zetian, who is sitting on the thirty-two people, and arrives at the Yaoguang Hall surrounded by water on all sides.
There was originally a spacious side hall on the side of Yaoguang Hall. Since two years ago, this side hall has been transformed into a place where the Holy Spirit Emperor lived after entering the summer. [The latest updates are all available in the search.]
Yiri is the wooden terrace that Tang Song had visited once. The terrace was surrounded by water on three sides. At the same time, the light sand mantle that Bozhou had been removed last time, and only a lingering incense burner was set up at four corners of the terrace to repel mosquitoes and ants.
During the National Cultural Conference, the weather is sunny and the sun is shining brightly. It shines on the water in the distance and reflects bright golden lights. But near, the clouds that are as white as snow in the sky are reflected. Standing on this terrace with only minimalist carved railings, it seems that you can walk into the clear water with just a raising foot, stepping on the white clouds in the water to the depths of the dreamy golden light of the water and sky.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, the cool breeze blows, and the body is extremely refreshing, and the mind is also broad. It is really like a fairyland enjoyment on earth when you are in summer.
In addition to the few palace servants on duty, there were only three people including Tang Song on the terrace.
"Wan'er' There are no outsiders today, so you don't need to stand. Just sit as you like Tang Song, and use whatever you want." While speaking, Wu Zetian lay down on the brocade couch placed on one side of the terrace and half-slanted. He waved to the palace servant Qian, "Get the red jade"
Tang Song asked for fish wine, and after saying that, he specifically stated to the palace servant, 'I want Persian grapes...'
Because Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty liked to drink grape wine, this style spread from the palace to the people, and has been popular for many years now. There are two types of grape wines today, one is the authentic Persian grape wine that came from thousands of miles through the Silk Road, and the other is the Hedong grape wine produced from the East Road of the Datang River.
Compared with Hedong grapes, Persian grapes have a more mellow taste, especially without the dryness, which makes the entrance more delicious. However, this wine comes from a long distance, and its value is imaginable. No one dares to touch the top power and wealthy families.
Since traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Tang Song actually fell in love with drinking. Of course, this is also related to the generally low degree of wine in this era. Among the famous seven-dog wines in the Tang Dynasty, his favorite is grape wine. Since he drank it twice at Shen Sisi, the Shengping Building of Xingyifang, he has been obsessed with this Persian grape wine priced more than gold.
But with his current wealth, it would be too luxurious to spend money on drinking this kind of wine. It is rare to have such an opportunity today, so I can't let it go.
Hearing his special explanation to the palace servant, Wu Zetian, who was lazy on the brocade bed, smiled, "Wan'er," you will be the prison general to repair the house that Tang Song last time, the ice room and wine room are just fine. If there is no reservation, then you can transfer ten barrels of Persian wine from the palace towel warehouse to send it to you..."
Even when a wealthy family outside the room was drinking Persian brew, it was still based on the pot when drinking Persian wine. Wu Zetian opened his mouth with ten barrels, totaling five hundred pots. If he sent it to the Taipei City, at least 150,000 coins could be realized immediately, which was enough to support all the wealth of a large merchant family among the people.
The emperor is the emperor, it is indeed a big deal!
Shangguan Wan'er bowed to answer the order, and Tang Song also stood up with a smile and bowed to thank him.
After Shangguan Wan'er ordered the tea from Gu Zhu Zisun's temple, she waved her hand with Wu Zetian, and then all the people in the palace retreated, and for a moment there were only three people left on the terrace.
Seeing that she had condemned the palace servants and Tang Song, who was sitting on the brocade stool, thought that this was going to directly talk about the constitution, so he closed his smile and calmed down.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian did not think so, but instead turned his attention to the water surface shining with shimmering golden light far outside the terrace.
After looking away for a long time, Wu Zetian slowly spoke: "The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes! Good words, good words!"
Wu Zetian's voice had a deeper and more distant look than at this time.
The distant eyes, the distant voice, and her casually leaning on the brocade couch. At this moment, Wu Zetian, who was surrounded by the warm sunlight and clear water, completely deprived the empress of the eternal power, and the sharp and heavy power that dominated the world was faintly applied with a light layer of sadness.
"The river goes east, and the waves wash away all the people of the ages..." means similar to "The rolling Yangtze River goes east, and the waves wash away all the heroes...", which means that the eternal Yangtze River goes east, and has taken away those talented and outstanding heroes for thousands of years.
Although such a wonderful sentence is grand and a thousand years old, it also reveals the eternity of heaven and earth and the short cruelty of life, and even the karma pursued by the heroes throughout their lives is vague. Such a magical work is refreshing to read, but it is inevitable that the people who are gradually aging are feeling different in their hearts.
No matter how people evaluate Wu Zetian, she is a well-deserved hero.
Wu Zetian, who was slightly sad, had never seen Tang Song before, even Shangguan Wan'er was so surprised. It has been sixteen years since she had seen the Holy Emperor who was mighty in the world showing such a demeanor?
At this point, Shangguan Wan'er could only sigh at Tang Song, while Tang Song sighed that Su Dongpo's beard was so amazing. The song "The River Flows East" even though his heart was as firm as Wu Zetian was shaken by it.
A famous work that has been passed down through the ages!
Wu Zetian is so abnormal that it can't adapt to it. Therefore, Tang Song and Shangguan Wan'er have never spoken. It's not that they don't want to say it, but that they really don't know what to say.
After a while of silence, Wu Zetian's voice sounded on the terrace again, just like the distant past, "The country is like a painting" for a while! Tang Song, do you think Lian is a hero?"
"Your Majesty is not a hero. In this world, he is like Duke Di... The saint has no constant heart, and he is like Duke Lu, who is not guilty even if he is in a dark room..." Over the years, although Shangguan Wan'er has gradually adapted to Tang Song's habitual unexpected behavior, his expression changed a little when he heard his words.
Wu Zetian, who was leaning against the brocade bed, had no change on his face, and he even had no distant gaze to retreat.
Her calm husband really made Tang Song feel heartbroken and continued: "Your Majesty is not a hero, but Your Majesty is the first supreme empress since the opening of Hongmeng. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, many heroes have emerged in more than two thousand years, as brilliant as a star. However, only Your Majesty has ascended the throne of the emperor as a woman. It is truly the first to open the world. This brilliant business is the endless Yangtze River and it is difficult to erase it all...
Wu Zetian's expression did not change much, but his body leaning on the brocade bed gradually tightened. Although his eyes had never turned from the water, his eyes had begun to condense from the distance.
After all, Wu Zetian is Wu Zetian. This is not a person who is used to hurting spring and tragic autumn. Even if he shakes his mind for the song "Dog River Goes East", he will only be a very short-lived husband. Just like the tiger king in Si Aoxiao Mountain, he will inevitably take a nap, but he will eventually wake up, and when he wakes up, he is still the kingly demeanor, and all beasts are frightened.
Tang Song's words were not circumspect to shorten the already very short time.
Just then, a palace servant brought the three of them to order the wine and tea they wanted. Tang Song's natural name was the Liulizun, the exquisitely carved small ice fish and the best Persian wine, Shangguan Wan'er was the Ancient Tea from Gu Zhu Zisan, and what was presented to Wu Zetian was a bowl of deer blood that still had a hint of heat.
"You have to put the wine spoon." Shangguan Wan'er stood up and asked. Wu Zetian shook her head and drank the blood that was taken from the forehead of the two horns of the deer.
This is deer blood! Tang Song's throat was slightly tightened as he looked at the scene of Wu Zetian drinking blood.
After drinking and rinsing, Wu Zetian was sitting on the brocade bed solemnly without mentioning the topic just now. It seemed that there had never been any circumcision. Tang Song looked at him with a concentrated look: 'Ten days ago, you said that you had already made a charter, let's talk!"
Speaking of the main thing, Wu Zetian rarely spoke before, and almost didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Tang Song's statements. Just like her style of governing, she never spoke easily, but once she made a decision, she would be an edict that would never be gentle.
After Tang Song finished speaking, she started talking. During this period, Tang Song once stood up and said generously: "If things in the world are difficult, it will be easy, and if they don't do it, it will be easy..."
Seeing him like this, Wu Zetian raised his hand and pressed it down, and Tang Song then sat down and continued to talk.
This statement lasted for more than an hour. In the end, Wu Zetian told Tang Song to plan what he said today as a charter, and first convened the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss it, and then the officials would discuss it.
This matter is in the sky, and Tang Song's constitution has even touched the foundation of the government. Even if the Qiangang is arbitrary and Wu Zetian, he must be cautious and must be cautious. The procedures that should be taken are indispensable.
After the meeting was finished, Wu Zetian gave a meal, and the three of them ate on the terrace with the extremely simple but exquisite Jiucai and Erdou soup.
After dinner, Tang Song stood up and said goodbye. Wu Zetian did not keep him anymore. Just waved his hand, and a palace servant immediately presented the two thunder brocade boxes.
One of the two dark brocade boxes is the "Spring Outing in the Red Cliff" by Zhan Ziqian, a former Sui Dynasty master, and the other is fragrant after opening it.
"This is the snow-pear powder condemned by the king of Zhenla overseas. It is the brocade box that is full of. If it is placed in the market, it is worth less than ten thousand gold and there is nowhere to buy it. It is actually something that the romantic young man in the capital of God has always dreamed of. A few days ago, the King of Wei came to ask for it, and the couplet was not given to him, so he should be put away..."
The King of Wei mentioned by Wu Zetian was Wu Chengsi, the left prime minister of Wenchang. He was first granted the title of Duke of Zhou. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became emperor, he changed the title of King of Wei from Tang to Zhou. He also increased his reputation from Duke of the Kingdom to be promoted to the title of King of Wei.
Seeing this snow pearl powder worth ten thousand gold and smelling the distant but undissipated fragrance, Tang Song frowned. He had said that it was not enough to be a fan, but Wu Zetian forgot so quickly? How could he not forget why he came to this force again?
After closing the brocade box, Tang Song immediately resigned, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a generous powder..."
"The elders give me, but I dare not refuse, let alone the Lord..." When Wu Zetian said this, he said that he was so calm when he was doing the statute of justice. There was a smile of interest between his eyebrows and eyes. "Although you are white, the couplet is often summoned. Since this couplet allows you to apply your comfort...
"Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and wise monarch will not take away the ambition of his ministers! My ministers do not use pink hairpins to wear flowers. Even if they have a small ambition, they should never change their life. Then they will receive the reward. This thing is too valuable, and I am ashamed of it and dare not... "
At this point, Tang Song paused and couldn't help but say again, "My subordinates are lucky enough to meet the king at all times, but what the minister hopes is because His Majesty summoned him because his subordinates have a little talent, not a white face that is made of pink..."
After saying that, Tang Song didn't wait for Wu Zetian to say anything. After bowing, he carried the brocade box containing the "Spring Outing Red Cliff Picture" and left.
The palace servant on duty outside the terrace was shocked by his behavior of leaving without permission from the Holy Emperor.
Wu Zetian on the terrace looked at Tang Song's back and sighed, "This boy has courage, ambition and talent, and his words are recognizable and organic. In addition to using it for national affairs, it is actually a way to relieve his anger and depressedness. However, although he is beautiful and has a darker complexion, he will never apply powder..."
Tang Song's performance just now made Shangguan Wan'er happy, but Wu Zetian's words made her feel confused. After pondering for a while, he said: 'This Tang Song is the human nature of Xue Zuowei and Shen Yuyi's Physician, who is not in charge of the human nature of Binglie, who is afraid that he will not be willing to serve Your Majesty privately..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled distantly and said nothing.
Seeing the Sage Emperor's smile, Shangguan Wan'er's heart became mysterious. Just as Tang Song left Yaoguang Hall, the priest of Lu Minglun, the priest of the Chinese school in Defang, was contrary to the past slowness and behavior in a moderate manner, urging his servants to prepare quickly.
The reason why he was so out of control was because of a news report from his servant Bing Bing: Longyoudao Observation sent Cui Yuanzong back to Beijing!
Cui Yuanzong, like Cui Shihuai, the former Luantai Minister, is both a direct descendant of the Cui family in Boling. According to the seniority, Cui Yuanzong should be Cui Shihuai's nephew, but in terms of age, the difference between the two is not only about ten years.
However, this Cui Yuanzong is completely different from his uncle Cui Shihuai, and he is even not in charge of the direct descendants of the four families of Cui, Lu, Li and Zheng.
Since childhood, when Cui Shihuai was burying his poems and books, Cui Yuanzong did not care about the cold eyes and ridicule of his clan members. While studying, he used a large number of his husbands to archery and archery.
When Cui Shihuai became famous after the twentieth crown, Cui Yuanzong was unknown. His unknown origin as a direct descendant of the Cui clan is enough to be ridiculed.
There are naturally some ridicule, but Cui Yuanzong seemed to have never heard of it, and his words and deeds were unmoved.
It's all right. The first thing Cui Yuanzong did in his life was that he refused to enter the museum after a high school Jinshi, but went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for a job in Longyou.
He didn't choose any place in Longyou, but only asked to work in the county, and said that even though he went to the county, he would not avoid it.
But when he was in charge of this department, he made his only request: he must be the county magistrate when he arrived at the county!
For some reason, he actually went to Longyou County. The official system in the Tang Dynasty was tested every two years, which means that he could be promoted and transferred after two years of serving as an official in one place.
Anyone who knows his life experience says that he will definitely return to Kyoto after one term two years, but Cui Yuanzong's last life experience makes them unable to believe it.
Cui Yuanzong served in this remote and remote Xia County magistrate for four or eight years.
In the eighth year, Cui Shihuai had moved from the eighth rank to the lower rank of the fifth rank, officially crossing the fifth rank threshold that was crucial to the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and moved from a low-rank official to the rank of middle-rank officials that many people would find difficult to enter in their entire lives.
Although Cui Yuanzong has been promoted to the sixth rank, he is actually from the eighth rank per day.
In eight years, Cui Yuanzong's actual teaching rank has not changed. The only thing that is left is the political achievements of elevating a remote Xia County to Shang County.
Even by the most picky standards, he, the county, is genuine and has no added moisture.
Eight years later, with the tears of the people of a county and hundreds of umbrellas of the people and tens of thousands of people, Cui Yuanzong returned to the capital with a bleak bag and a frosty face.
After that, he worked in Jingzhen for six years, and during the six years he changed his yamen, officials, households, punishments, soldiers, and labour. In addition to the Ministry of Rites, he transferred all of them. Each department was in full swing for one year, and in the last year he even went to the Lifan Courtyard of Honglu Temple.
In the past six years, except for the promotion of official positions, Cui Yuanzong did not achieve any political achievements. Even by the loosest examination standards, he could only be considered a mediocre official.
After the expiration of his three-term six-year term, Cui Yuanzong made another amazing move, demanding to return to Longyou Road to serve.
The Longyou Road crosses the Hexi Corridor, which is actually the northwest gateway to the Tang Dynasty. It is always under heavy pressure from the Western Regions and Tubo to disturb the border. Especially in Tubo, people are both wild and condescending. In addition to the peace between Princess Wencheng of Taizong, the incident of attacking the border can be said to have occurred from time to time. The strongest part is that they once stranded on Chang'an during the Suzong period.
It can be said that Tubo was a strong enemy who had been entangled with the Tubo Tang for more than a hundred years. Xuanzong Chao Geshuhan became a famous general praised by the world for resisting Tubo.
Because of this background, the two prefectures and counties adjacent to Tubo in Longyou and Jiannan became the places where Tang officials regarded them as fearless.
However, Cui Yuanzong, who asked to return to Longyou Road to serve, made a request that he would not be able to observe the yamen, but he would only work in the prefectures that were adjacent to Tubo. He would not avoid any dangerous state, but he would be the governor.
Finally he went.
This time, it took another four or eight years. During the eight years, Cui Yuanzong launched a horse to manage the army and dismounted the people in this dangerous prefecture. In addition to ensuring the security, he led the four thousand local town troops into elite troops who were not inferior to the border troops.
Three years before he took office, there was still incident of Tubo invaders entering the country. However, three years later, the people under his jurisdiction were no longer affected by the trouble of Tubo invaders. Although Linzhou was destroyed, the state was as safe as Mount Tai.
This political achievement is really too obvious. At this point, Cui Yuanzong, who had been unknown for twenty-two years, finally showed his brilliant light like a pearl covered in dust.
After returning to Beijing from Longyou for the second time, he began to take charge of the field and achieved the achievement of a giant dog with millions of hu of grain in ten years. By this time, even Wu Zetian no longer ignored his achievements. In the end, when Cui Yuanzong turned to Longyou for the third time, he had become the first person in Longyou Road.
Since then, the Tubo in Longyou has been in trouble, but it has suffered from the adjacent Jiannan Road.
Now, if such a character turns to the capital of God, how could Lu Minglun not be happy and look down upon him?
When Lu Minglun arrived at the inn, the secretary-general Zheng Zhili had already arrived
