The ancients liked to discuss auspiciousness. Not only did the first fixed project in the court meeting every time the grand ceremony was held, the censor in the palace reported the auspiciousness of various places, but the local people also talked about auspiciousness, thinking that the interaction between heaven and man, and the emergence of auspiciousness was actually in accordance with the heaven and the man.

It is precisely because of this that when a strange phenomenon came out, there was a very normal astronomical phenomenon in later generations that could lead to the ancient prime minister’s resignation, and even the emperor issued a self-destruction. It was also possible that there was a phenomenon of wanting to fight for the world and create auspiciousness first, such as Emperor Gaozu of Han killed a white snake and turned against Qin, Emperor Gaozu of Tang took a rest and was a real dragon.

There are many contents of auspiciousness, including rare birds and animals, astronomy and geography. In short, all things that violate the normal order of nature can be interpreted as auspiciousness. Among all auspiciousness, many are characterized by humans. For example, people who live long and long, such as natural mute suddenly speaks. [The latest updates are all in search.]

For example, the hermit Daxian, who had been in hiding for many years, suddenly came out of the mountain.

In the dynasty era, once something has something to do with auspiciousness, it is difficult to understand it rationally. It arouses the collective unconscious fanaticism, without any reason or logic, but it contains a surging force that can sweep across everything like a volcano eruption.

After his birth, he was a famous family, but he did not admire officials after becoming famous. The eight elders, who had been away from the world for nearly 40 years, suddenly appeared and immediately entered the world. The eight elders' actions were naturally interpreted as auspiciousness by the people of the world, and were widely spread at the speed of the wind.

As a result, scenes of Tang Song, a time traveler, seemed incredible, and strange phenomena that were dumbfounded one after another.

As the news spread, the people in the prefectures and counties that the Eight Olds passed along the way to Beijing spontaneously went out of the city dozens of miles to greet them. When the Eight Olds arrived, not only the local officials were waiting for the city gate to welcome them, but some people in the city even set up incense tables in front of their homes and bowed their heads and bowed to them and greeted them.

Such a situation has always happened only when the emperor went on a patrol and the army went through triumphantly.

As the news spread, the eight elders' itinerary grew longer and the local people's fanatical performance became more and more intense. It seemed that half of the country was shrouded in the light of these eight elders overnight. The dense population and the center of economy, politics and culture of the northern land, the eyes of millions of people, turned with the wheels of the heavy car.

When the Eight Old Ones came out of the mountain, the world was shocked, the north was filled with sensation, the people were welcomed by the road, and the scholars were excited.

Then, the Holy Emperor issued a series of edicts, and treated the eight elders with courtesy in the local governments. He swept the post stations along the way to the marquis, and followed the three ministers' system of food and worship.

Then, Wu Youyi, a son of the royal family, was the envoy of the emperor. He went out of Beijing to ask about the food and daily life of the eight elders, and accompanied him to Beijing.

Then, the local government reported the eight elders' itinerary in a timely manner. When they entered the capital, the emperor stopped working for one day. The officials from the Political Affairs Hall led the three provinces and six ministries of the Imperial City and the sixth rank and above of the prison of various temples to come out to Anxi Gate to welcome him.

This edict was once again, and the fanaticism of the eight elders coming out of the mountain and heavy vehicles to enter Beijing increased by three points. At this time, people mentioned and talked about them, all the eight elders were talking about. Even the wine shops and tea shops in the Shendu, and even the brothel artists in Xingyifang began to sing poems about the eight elders when they became famous.

Before the people arrived, the sound came first. The eight old carriages were still hundreds of miles away, but the wind and clouds that were rolled up covered the sky and the sun and the capital. Their aura was so fierce and powerful that they were actually as powerful as a tiger.

Because of his person and his family, and because of the eight elders, they have been passed down for nearly six hundred years in this tide. Since Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty compiled the "Clan Records" for decades, the four families of Cui Lu, Li and Zheng, who have been reunited for decades, have once again wiped out the dust and shining brightly. Not only did they retire Cui Shihuai, but they wiped out the small decline caused by Cui Shiyu, but they once again showed the deep-rooted status and power of the noble families of the gentry, to the sages, to the court and even the emperor.

Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, the well-deserved Four High Schools of the World

Under the momentum of the eight elders' energetic spirits, the newly-promoted song lyrics disappeared; as more and more scholars went to the capital in various prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi Province, more and more scholars outside the Qingxin Village who were denounced as heresy; some people in the court began to pay tribute to the emperor's arbitrarily and requested to abolish the general subjects set up by the emperor's arbitrarily, so that the imperial examinations would return to the old system.

The trend is so fast that in a short period of time, Qingxinzhuang Tongcai and the general subjects in the imperial examination were both in a storm. Tang Song, as the proposer and promoter of the general subject, was like a duckweed, struggling in the storm, and overturning and destruction only took a moment.

As the eight elders advanced to the gods, as the pressure in the court officials became stronger and stronger, in less than ten days, Tang Song suddenly lost weight, and the dark circles around his eyes became more and more obvious.

Seeing him like this, Wu Zetian, who was sitting behind the imperial case, frowned, and at the same time he felt relieved, "Tang Song, it has been more than a year since you entered Beijing last year?"

Suddenly, he was summoned to meet the saint in Qingxin Village, but he said this after being summoned. Tang Song was a little confused and answered very carefully, "Yes, it's been a year and three months."

"Yeah," Wu Zetian nodded slightly, "I heard that there is still a father and a sister in your Xiangzhou family?"

"yes"

"You have no brothers. How can your relatives in your family worry about you every day and look back at your door? I specially grant you a seventh rank in the literary official, and you will be allowed to leave for half a year. You can go back to your hometown to visit your relatives. After you return to the capital, I will have your own value."

Civil and military officials are just a standard of treatment, not actual duties, nor any real power.

While speaking, Wu Zetian walked down from the imperial desk and stopped in front of Tang Song. While tidying up his scattered clothes, he said warmly: "Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, said: 'If you don't return home, you will still be in a hurry to go in a bright future'. Your carriages and horses and carriages along the way, and the rewards of your father and sister, I have condemned people to prepare for you. You will definitely make your trip beautiful in the countryside. Let's leave early tomorrow morning, go early and return early."

The emperor was responsible for his subordinates. This behavior was so extraordinary. But Tang Song didn't want to think about this at this moment, and his heart was chilling, "Your Majesty asked his subordinates to return home. What should I do if I will do if I will be in the general subject of the science exam next year? What should I do if I do Qingxin Village?"

Wu Zetian frowned suddenly, and his expression was also cold on his face, but Tang Song, who looked in front of her eyes, refused to let in an inch.

After staring at Tang Song for a while, Wu Zetian's face finally softened again, and he completely fixed the scattered clothes on his hands. "It will take three years for the world to be hasty, at most three years, and at least two years, the court will reopen the imperial examination. At that time, I will use you to promote this matter."

Although Wu Zetian did not say it clearly, his meaning was already expressed very clearly. Tang Song returned to his hometown, the general subjects in the scientific examination will naturally be cancelled next year, and Qingxinzhuang will also be disbanded.

The potential meaning is that it will take her two to three years to consolidate the imperial power. After all, she ascended the throne as a woman for three years, and before the throne is completely stable, she must compromise slightly.

Whether it is personality or identity, Wu Zetian would never be afraid of the Eight Olds. However, this time the Eight Olds were too popular, and the Eight Olds were involved in the centrists in the court. Wu Zetian had just used the centrists to balance the party struggle between Wu and Li. At this time, if the Eight Olds and the centrists suddenly fell to either Wu and Li, it would inevitably cause the court to become unbalanced, which triggered an unprecedented political earthquake since his ascension to the throne.

Once such a situation occurs, Wu Zetian himself will be extremely passive, and even if the Eight Elders turn to the Li Party, his throne will be shaken.

This is definitely not the result that Wu Zetian wants to see. So before he consolidated the throne, before he adjusted the court, and in the two or three years he still needed, even if he was as strong as her, he would need to make some compromises in exchange for time.

But she finally did not abandon Tang Song, although she could do this. Even letting her return home to visit relatives at such a sensitive moment was a disguised protection for Tang Song.

Tang Song could think of all the above. It is rare for an emperor, an emperor who is known for his decisive decisiveness to do this step in detail.

Because I wanted to find it and understood, the expression on Tang Song's face also softened, but he still did not give in at all what he said, "Thank you, I forgive my ministers for being disrespectful, I cannot leave."

After the case was in power, Shangguan Wan'er's face changed suddenly, and she even looked at Tang Song Lianshi without even caring about the fear of showing any signs.

Tang Song did not see these eyes. At this moment, he was closely watching Wu Zetian, who was only one step away from him. "The Mandarin said: 'Fighting is courage. One fight, one move, and then decline, and three times exhausted' Tongcai has never been there. If you want to promote it, it is no more than a fierce battle. Since you want to fight, you will never be able to retreat in the last three years. If you retreat again, you will definitely become a laughing stock. At that time, you will re-establish Tongcai and will inevitably be despised by others."

At this point, Tang Song shook his head lightly but slowly, "Ministry also knows that Your Majesty has a lasting hardship, so Your Majesty can treat the eight elders with courtesy, but the minion cannot retreat."

After saying that, Tang Song took two steps back and bowed deeply to Wu Zetian, "My subordinates have nothing to ask for, I just ask Your Majesty not to abolish the general subject. As for the survival of Qingxin Zhuang, my subordinates will take it with all their strength."

Wu Zetian paid attention to Tang Song for a long time, "Can you bear it?"

Tang Song smiled lightly and turned his eyes to the extreme depths of the Magnificent Yaoguang Palace. "All changes have always been difficult and dangerous. Only in this way, the more someone needs to come out to bear it. The subordinates don't know whether to bear it, but it's enough to know that they must bear it."

Wu Zetian pondered, but never said anything.

Seeing this, Tang Song waited for a while, gave another deep bow, and turned around and left the hall. There was no review in the meantime.

After Tang Song left, the hall remained silent. After a long time, Wu Zetian called Shangguan Wan'er and didn't know what she had explained to her.

After listening quietly, Shangguan Wan'er bowed and said, "My daughter receives the order."

"Go"

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Wu Zetian slowly returned to the imperial case, cited ink with his pen and finally wrote eight small characters "Aristocratic family, Cui Lu, Li Zheng" on the large pillar of the hall.

She wrote very slowly, but she was very heavy in writing...

After leaving Yaoguang Hall, Tang Song walked all the way to Xuanhui Gate. When he was about to leave the palace, he heard a call behind him. When he turned around and looked, Shangguan Wan'er came on horseback.

As he approached, Shangguan Wan'er looked solemn, "Since Your Majesty has promised for three years, why should you show off? Even if you can't wait for three years?"

"How many things will happen in three years?" Tang Song sighed quietly, "In three years, will Your Majesty clarify the successor to the throne?"

This question made Shangguan Wan'er unable to answer. According to the current situation of the Holy Emperor, the later the heirs clearly stated that the more beneficial it will be. Three years later... it is really mysterious.

"If this problem is not solved for a day, there will be endless variables in the court. The great cause of the tree of science attracts wind. It will not be possible to change again in three years. If I retreat today, if there are changes in three years, should I retreat again?" At this point, Tang Song smiled comfortably, "It's just eight old men. Can you really poke a hole in the sky?"

Shangguan Wan'er was not moved by his smile at all, "If you don't do the general subject, what if you do it?"

"My path to becoming an official has been blocked. If I don't do a general subject, what's the point of staying in this god? Some things should be done as long as I should do, otherwise I won't be at ease." After saying this, Tang Song didn't want to say anything anymore. He glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and turned around and left the Xuanhuimen.

Looking at Tang Song's back gradually moving away, Shangguan Wan'er felt complicated and finally waved her whip hard and turned over and ran away. As for what she would do, it was unknown at this time.

Three days later, the eight elders entered Beijing, and all the civil and military officials from the Zhengshi Hall were led by the King of Wei and the left prime minister of Wenchang, Wu Chengsi, and other scholars and people who came spontaneously to welcome him were endless, and the entire god was in a state of great disturbance.

All officials welcomed each other and ordered a banquet ten miles outside the city to cleanse the eight elders on their behalf.

After the banquet, the eight elders entered the city. The scene was almost the grand occasion of the former Taizong's reign of Master Xuanfeng Xiji Liusha after 16 years of returning to Chang'an.

Afterwards, the emperor met the eight elders in the Hanyuan Hall of the palace.

After meeting the saint, the eight elders moved into the Shendu Posthouse. At this point, the door was crowded with people and banquets were like a tide. King Wu Chengsi of Wei was the chief assistant, and he would go to the posthouse to ask about his daily life after daily affairs.

Since then, the trend of conducting scripts that have gradually disappeared since the implementation of the new scientific examination regulations has become more prosperous again. The post house where the eight elders live has received no less than a hundred copies of conducting scripts every day.

During this period, the eight elders met with the scholars of Shendu several times. The most important thing in words was "cultivation of oneself" and the second was "right path".

When he heard this "right way", He Zhizhang's expression changed drastically. He immediately rushed to Qingxinzhuang, but heard that Tang Song had gone to the place where farmers gathered in Zuocunshu Township.

After that, He Zhizhang visited Qingxinzhuang three times, but never saw Tang Song, the reason was the same as before.

Time is spent in the bustling flowers and brocade, and autumn is getting stronger and Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye. The eight elders then declared that the lecture period for the Imperial College, which is of interest to the Shilin, has been set and is scheduled to officially open the main hall on the third day after Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition, the time for the poetry meeting was also announced.

It was only the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and the location was the Myth of the Divorce of Princess Taiping.

Like other top powerful people, Princess Taiping's Myth Garden of Bieyes is also located at the foot of Longmen Mountain, or just a coincidence, this garden is just a wall away from Tang Song's Qingxin Village...
