Chapter 77: The Shocking Arrangement (Seeking a Monthly Pass)(1/2)

When Tang Song heard that Wu Zetian's voice was not loud but contained a murderous intention, he stood up more correctly. Although he had full confidence in the song "Xiang Ling Drum Se", it would be impossible to say that he was not nervous at this moment.

Life and death are hanging on the line. Even time travelers, who can really not worry about it? [The latest updates are all in search.]

Perhaps because she inherited her grandfather Shangguan Yi's excellent genes, Shangguan Wan'er is the kind of person who is very talented in poetry and literature. At the age of fourteen, she was appreciated and valued by Wu Zetian by a lowly slave in the palace. Her talent in literature is one of the most important reasons. She has been in charge of enacting imperial edicts for so many years, which is also a full affirmation of her talent.

He has talent and a high vision. In recent years, whenever Wu Zetian held a poetry meeting in the palace, the person responsible for finally ruling the quality of the Bei family's poetry is Shangguan Wan'er. Because the result of the ruling is fair, he can be convinced by the Bei family. It is the Shangguan Wan'er who gradually has the nickname of "Poetry Scale".

This matter is recorded in historical books or the middle part of the Tang people's notes, so Tang Song naturally knew that Guan Wan'er's "poetry scale" perspective could not see the wonder of the song "Xiangling Drum Seal".

It is even more impossible for Song Zhiwen to ask that the twenty-seven people who Yue Ziqi and the other two could write a better imperial examination poem than this song "Xiang Ling Drum Seal".

There are poems and fu in the Jinshi exam, but fu is generally long. Since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty's Sao style fu was prosperous, it has been dazzling with gorgeous words, but the content is lacking, and it has become increasingly serious. In short, the "literary" of Sao style fu is far better than "quality", and it has serious routines, so it has gradually lost its glory at its peak since the Western Han Dynasty.

In the Jinshi exam, the candidates almost followed the same routine, using fu as a sacred character of a thousand people. This situation is quite similar to the eight-legged essays in later generations. If a truly good literary scholar had to do it for the exam, he was actually not willing to read these things that were the same as those of a thousand people.

The test-oriented fu essay has this characteristic and is long. In addition, the meaning of the Holy Emperor is to wait for the results, so it cannot take too much time. Therefore, Shangguan Wan'er, who was not very good at fu essays, did not read those fu fu and directly selected the poems of Tang Song and twenty-seven winners.

Knowing that the focus of reading the poem this time was Tang Song, Shangguan Wan'er first read all the twenty-seven poems that were taken. After having a correct score in her heart, she finally picked up Tang Song's poem scroll.

When you expand it, you will look at the words first, which is pretty ordinary. But when you look at the poem, Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows suddenly unfold. The title of the poem "Xiang Ling Gu Shi" published in the Jinshi Institute is taken from "Chu Ci. Far Travel"

"Make Xiang Ling drum and zither, and make the sea like dancing Feng Yi"

The poems written in Tang Song are:

Good at drums and clouds and sir, I often hear the spirit of the emperor's son.

Feng Yikong danced by himself, and Chu Gu couldn't bear to listen.

The bitter tune of the sad metal and stone, and the clear sound enters the darkness.

Cangwu is resentful and enchanting, while Bai Zhi is fragrant.

The flowing water spreads to Xiangpu, and the sad wind passes through Dongting.

The song ended and no one saw it, and several peaks on the river were green.

The beginning of the poem is the topic, praising Xiang Ling for good at drumming and zithering, and the beautiful music often lingers in his ears. As for the imperial examination poem, the two poems that point out the theme at the beginning of the poem are extremely exquisite.

Then there was imagination galloping. Xiangling's beautiful sequin attracted the water god Feng Yi. Feng Yi loved this wonderful sequin and couldn't help dancing at the Water Festival. But Feng Yi actually did not really understand the sorrow and misery hidden in the sequin, which also made his joyful dance seem in vain.

But those "Chu guests" understood the intentions of Xiang Ling, such as Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty, and frustrated people who were demoted and traveled south through the Xiang River in all dynasties.

The four rhymes in the middle are eight sentences, which try their best to describe the magical power of Xianglingse Song. This makes the poem avoid the common rigid narratives in the imperial examination poems, and appear magnificent and vivid.

However, the best beauty of this poem lies in the last two lines: "The song ends and no one sees, and several peaks on the river are green." The previous poem closely follows the theme and repeatedly renders it, which has fully written the wonderful painting of Xiangling drums and zithers. Listening to the wonderful songs, I want to see her, but I never write about Xiangling in the poem. I only hear the sound but not the person. There is really infinite confusing melancholy in it, and the words are extremely wonderful.

What is more charming is that after "no one sees you", it is concluded with "there are several peaks on the river". These last five words are actually a stroke of magic, which instantly returns to the world that seems true and colorful created by Xiangling drums and zithers, and allows the viewer to return from the magnificent imagination to reality. The location is still the Xiangjiang River, and it is still the mountains and rivers where Xiangling is located. However, a river is like a belt, and several peaks are like dyes. The quiet landscape leaves people with infinite longing.

Shangguan Wan'er read the poem very quickly and was very silent, but after reading the last song "Xiang Ling Drum Seal", she couldn't help but sigh far. If she hadn't been trapped in this rich city, she would have really wanted to go to Chu, go to Xiang River, and listen to the wonderful stern sound of Xiang Ling.

Those with talented poetry and prose will become addicted to it every time they encounter excellent works. This is a nature that comes with talent. Just like human chronic diseases, it is difficult to get rid of.

This is like Cai Jing, a famous treacherous prime minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty. No matter how many thoughts he had in the government, he couldn't help but get addicted to it when he encountered a good book. At this moment, he was much more pure. The reason for this situation is that Cai Jing also likes calligraphy.

After fifteen years of being with her, Wu Zetian knew very well about Shangguan Wan'er. When she heard her sigh, she knew that she had finished reading the poem, so she asked:

"how?"

After following Wu Zetian for many years, Shangguan Wan'er gradually figured out a lot of ways to get along with this Holy Emperor. It was her meticulous thinking and summary that was the root of her 15-year honor and favor. Among the ways she figured out, the first one was honest.

The Holy Emperor is definitely not a merciful king, but he is definitely a wise lord. With such a decisive and observing master, if Shangguan Wan'er dared to be treacherous and deceived, she would have died without a place to bury her, and she would not have been in danger of being honored for fifteen years.

Over the past fifteen years, Shangguan Wan'er has seen too many people who tried to deceive but ended up being defeated by being slutty. From the end of the Shenlong to the Holy Emperor, this empress couldn't rub the sand in her eyes.

Before Wu Zetian had not yet completely grown old, there was a saying that it was definitely the most wise way to get along with her, and Shangguan Wan'er was the one who was the most profound in this way.

"All my daughters have read this poem. Just by relying on this poem, Tang Song in Xiangzhou should be the first to be the first. I looked like I could sit all my head." As I spoke, Shangguan Wan'er presented Tang Song's poem scroll together.

Outside the curtain, Tang Song breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's words.

Wu Zetian also had a talent for poetry. In the later generations before Tang Song traveled through time, one of her poems was still widely circulated and praised.

Seeing Zhu Chengbi's thoughts full of thoughts, she was separated and haggard for me. I don't believe that she had tears in the past, so I unboxed and checked the pomegranate skirt!

Wu Zetian naturally did not lack the ability to write such a masterpiece that was passed down for thousands of years and was praised by later generations.

A moment later, Tang Song, who had been ignored since entering the small hall, heard a sentence from the curtain, "This is indeed a good poem. It is indeed not easy to write such a poem in a hurry in the scientific examination hall."

After hearing this, Tang Song's understanding of Wu Zetian deepened a little. It seems that the evaluation of his "mindedness" in historical books is indeed not false.

It was like leading the tribute students to have such a storm today, which was like sweeping Wu Zetian's face, but she was able to make such a fair argument when facing this song "Xiang Ling Drum Seal". Her grandeur and her mind are indeed commendable.

Thinking of this, Tang Song shook his head slightly. His feelings were really unnecessary!

Speaking of which, Wu Zetian was an absolute enemy to Shangguan Wan'er. After personally entrusting the order to kill Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Zhi, she kept Shangguan Wan'er by her side, not only staying with her, but also being close to her so she even had food, clothing and accessories. This is simply incredible.

Not to mention the female emperor, looking at all the emperors and even those who are superiors throughout the ages, how many people can do this like Wu Zetian? How many people dare to do this like Wu Zetian? Without a broad mind and grand manner, how can they do such a thing!

Not to mention the stele without words left after his death!

Many people scolded Wu Zetian after the Tang Dynasty, some scolded her for being cruel and unkind, and some scolded her for being lewd, but no matter how they scolded her, no one scolded her for being petty!

As a woman, Wu Zetian is so generous, with this point alone, not only can she be proud of most of the men of her era, but also of most emperors from ancient times to the present.

Wu Zetian is definitely not a lucky chance to be the only female emperor in Chinese history who has both real and famous!

Hearing that Wu Zetian had finished reading the test paper and gave such a test paper. Tang Song thought that it was time to ask him, but he did not pay attention to it on the first day. After Wu Zetian finished speaking the test paper, he turned around and ordered Shangguan Wan'er: "Transfer the taste of Su. Please ride a horse in Fucheng, come quickly."

Behind the curtain was a eunuch and palace maid kneeling on the ground and waiting for orders. Shangguan Wan'er then pointed to a eunuch who had always been calm to do this.

Wu Zetian was still in the same style as before, either staying still, and once he started to do things, he would be decisive and decisive, with almost no pause in the middle.

"Issue an imperial edict! The minister of the tutor Li Jiao was the leader of a man, and he had no virtue as a minister, so he went out to join the army of the Sihu in Qiongzhou."

Tang Song, who was preparing for the question and answer in front of you, couldn't help but feel sad for Li Qiao when he heard this order. Qiongzhou in the Tang Dynasty was Hainan in later generations, but the ends of the world and barren land in the eyes of people in this era. The arduous conditions of Hainan Island in the Tang Dynasty were far beyond the imagination of future generations. This situation did not change fundamentally even in the Northern Song Dynasty. You can only know it by looking at Su Shi's declining poems.

The demotion to Hainan was just a Sihu joining the army, whose official position was almost negligible, which was farther and more cruel than being demoted to Lingnan! For Li Jiao, it was a complete "fleet" and whether he could return to the Central Plains and Luoyang in the end was purely the will of heaven, and it depends on his fate.

Tang Songgu sighed, but Wu Zeyao's decrees were one after another, and from this point, you can deeply feel the thunderous and thunderous style of the Holy Emperor.

Or it is not moving, and the hidden wind and thunder are above the nine heavens: once it moves, it will be a storm, without giving anyone any breathing time.

"The condemnation envoy asked Liang Wang Wu Sanshu: The current academic talent acquisition is very ill-informed, and the scholar Song's question is difficult to blame. How should you deal with the question of Song? Order the person who answered the envoy in person, and hesitated not to delay the relocation."

After hearing this last arrangement, Tang Song realized it clearly. It seemed that the reason why Song Zhiwen was able to suddenly become one of the chief examiners of the current subject was Wu Sansi.

After understanding this foundation, I think of Wu Zeyao's condemnation question, which is really meaningful! Especially the footnote of the last "The messenger of the face should not be delayed and hesitated" is even more of a magical stroke.

The messenger asked when he was on the verge of his face. Wu Sansi had no time or room for deep thought while he was eager. No matter how he answered, he could see through his nature.

Moreover, this question itself is difficult to answer. From Wu Sansi's perspective, no matter whether it is to kill or protect Song Zhiwen, the choice between them is difficult!

When Tang Song was thinking, Wu Zetian's last order followed.

"I wrote an imperial edict, and the King of Luling was clear-hearted and gave him a hundred pieces of Shu brocade, 100,000 yuan, ten branches of Silla ginseng, and a female music department. This imperial edict was passed on to six departments, so that all officials could know it."

"My servant receives the order"

After remembering Wu Zetian's three consecutive orders, Shangguan Wan'er went to write an imperial order on the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

For a moment, the whole hall became quiet again. At this point, Tang Song was still ignored.

Shortly after Shangguan Wan'er drafted the order to hand it over to Wu Zetian to dismiss the seal, a small sound of small steps came, and a small yellow gate came in and reported that Su Weidao had been summoned.

"Enter"

Su Wei was nearly fifty years old, with a burly but not fat body, her face was like a crown and jade, and her beard was floating, which was really a "beautiful style". After entering the hall, the man quickly walked towards the curtain and bowed to the ground and shouted long live.

"Forget it, let's calm down." Wu Zetian called Su Wei and said nothing nonsense, and said directly: "There is too much trouble to obtain talent in science and technology. I want to stop it! I plan to reopen the scientific examination in one month, so this matter will be handed over to your family."

When Su Wei heard this, he immediately changed his expression and rushed forward two steps and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a great ceremony for talent. How important is it? If it is easily abandoned, it will cause the discussions of the world, and if it is serious, it will greatly damage the imperial court and Your Majesty's majesty. I think this matter is not allowed. Please ask Your Majesty to take back the sage."

"I customized the imperial examination to select talents and talents for the court. If this original intention is not harmonious, what should I stop? The current science and technology has caused such a stir among the tribute students. Isn't it a stolen thing to say about the court and my demeanor? Humph, I will not stop the imperial examination and will still repair it on this list. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at my petty family?"

Song Zhiwen is still waiting for further advice. Wu Zetian, who was arbitrary in the Qiangang, no longer allowed him to say anything, "I have decided on this matter, I will do it with my heart. In addition, the saying goes, Luoyang Order, asked him to give a month's money to the tribute students who went to the examination according to the Directory of the Ministry of Rites. He told him that this matter should be done with sincerity and that no one should be left out, otherwise I will not forgive him."

It was less than half an hour ago that he would give Di Renjie a reply ten days later. Why did he even set the time for reopening the scientific examination and the main examination in a blink of an eye? Even the tribute students who were delaying the cost of spending money for one month in Beijing were considered. This is not like a temporary intention!

As soon as Song Zhiwen and Yue Ziqi confessed to the current situation, they had already made up their minds?

Putting aside these useless things, I just want to talk about it now, Wu Zetian has not said how to cut off himself, but I don’t know if he can still participate in this reopened subject?

The situation suddenly turned down. When Tang Song was thinking, he suddenly heard a sentence from behind the curtain that could be called Shi Potian: "This son is Tang Song of Xiangzhou. He will help you with the reopening of the scientific examination this time. I am tired, so you should step down and do your best."

Once everyone in the world noticed, the scientific expedition involving the entire Shilin was just a matter of just one sentence. Whether it was this result or the rapid process of producing this result, Tang Song did not expect that it was fine. After all, Wu Zeyao was not an ordinary person, and perhaps everything was lacking in awe and courage.

But is there anything more ridiculous in the world that allows yourself to participate in the presidency of the scientific experiment?

He just led the tribute students to fight against the corruption case of scientific research and to help Song Zhiwen.

Why did he become a new assistant in the blink of an eye and be responsible for the new scientific examination?

It is said that thirty years of feng shui changes, but it also turns too fast on him!

Tang Song did not express his opinion at all. After Wu Zetian gave Su Weidao instructions, she stood up behind the curtain.

Tang Song stood there blankly, but he couldn't come back for a moment. Su Weidao, who had a bitter face, passed by him faintly, and even said a little boredly, "You are allowed to rest for a day and go to the tribute court the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, the beautiful poet shook his head and walked away with a wry smile. His sigh could still be clearly heard from a distance.

One after another.

Shangguan Wan'er followed Wu Zetian like a shadow and walked towards the depths of the palace city. After walking quietly for a while, she spoke:
