Ji Xu did not answer positively, and he said: "Your Majesty, is it done by ruling the world through articles or by talent?"

If you write a good article, you may not be considered a good official. Wang Bo and his friends did not write a good article, but what about their career path?

Wu Zetian remained silent. After a while, he said, "Does the person who wrote three articles "The Horse Talk" have no talent?"

You want to plead for your ministers, but don’t even think of fooling me. Don’t you want talent? Just because this young man wrote three articles of "The Talk of Horses", it was thought-provoking. If you don’t believe that, if you gather all the ministers in the court, you may not be able to figure out such a profound truth.

Ji Xu also said: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty launched the revolution, the ministers in the court are basically the elites of the Tang Dynasty and appointed by Your Majesty himself. Although there are any mistakes, no one can be wrong?"

Ji Xu didn't dare to say it, it was not that the ministers didn't want to say it, but that you were afraid that you might be affected by the recommendation because of this young man's unknown origin. Therefore, he changed his direction and explained the truth from another perspective. In fact, the so-called "revolution" launched by Wu Zetian, that is, killing people, eliminated all potential dangers and forces against her. Now the remaining ministers are basically ministers who are loyal to her, and they are all allowed by Wu Zetian himself. If you say these ministers are not good, it is equivalent to saying that you have no vision.

This sentence is very tactful and the actual content is sharp.

Ji Xu also said: "Although this young man is very smart, he is in the stage of growth. Your Majesty has never heard of Ganluo as a prime minister in the past, but he has become an ordinary person after he becomes an adult."

No matter how smart a young man is, he is not as capable as Gan Luo. However, because he is a child, he has no achievements and disappeared after he is an adult. On the contrary, Han Xin and Su Qin have suffered a lot of hardships when they were young and have worked hard to achieve greater achievements. Perhaps it may not be a good thing to bring this young man to the court now. This is what persuaded Wu Zetian from the perspective of talent growth.

"It's too late to make up for the bribe before the loss. Now this young man has nothing to do. Just send someone to find him immediately. Your Majesty, the minister is Your Majesty's minister. You cannot denounce the ministers of the court as useless just because of a young man. Even if the civil and military officials of the court are combined, there is no such wise and divine martial arts of Your Majesty. If the minister does something wrong, please point it out. Now please give your Majesty a chance. The young man is also missing now, and you still have to wait for Your Majesty's imperial edict to deal with it."

Let's flatter you first. You are the emperor, you are the smartest. Now that the ministers have made mistakes, you can correct them. The actual meaning is that you should not be angry now. The ministers are waiting for your instructions to disperse the court. The young man is fleeing abroad and needs your order to protect him. The important thing is.

Wu Zetian made him so excited.

Ji Xu laughed at Wu Zetian, rode a pole and pulled her clothes and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to return to the palace."

Indeed, this minister was also a cruel official, but Zhou Junchen and others were incomparable to him.

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wu Zetian coming back.

Obviously, Wu Zetian didn't want to get into trouble on this issue this time, but instead asked again without answering it, and was only angry. She looked at the Sihu in Luoyang joining the army and the judicial officer joining the military, and asked: "You two will report to me the case that happened the day before yesterday."

When the two officials heard this, their faces changed. They even said it the day before yesterday. So the two of them honestly told them about the incident.

After receiving the report, the yamen runners rushed over. But after arriving, not only the remaining murderer escaped, but even the assassinated young man escaped. After hearing about this, the two officials immediately came on horseback and did not even sit in the sedan chair.

At that time, many people were watching the fun but did not disperse. Therefore, they easily asked the matter clearly. They found a dead assassin, the man who grabbed Wang Hua's collar, named Shen Laosi, who was from the suburbs outside the southern gate of Luoyang. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his character was not good, so he became a bully in the village. Therefore, he was punished by the government twice and beaten dozens of sticks. However, after each release, he did not repent. There was also an assassin, the one who was killed by Wang Hua, who had not yet found out his identity. The escaped assassin, that is, the real master, had not found out his identity.

Because of Wang Hua's heroic performance, many people talked about it, which led to some strange sayings. That is, it was so swearing that there was no boundaries and even ghosts and gods came out. The main reason was that at that time, Wang Hua was grabbed by Shen Laosi's collar and the escaped assassin attacked Wang Hua from behind. However, Wang Hua suddenly fell to the ground as if he had eyes on his back, and pulled Shen Laosi down, using Shen Laosi as a living shield before he avoided it.

This reason was also found out yesterday. Because there was a shop on the east side of the crime scene, there was a bronze mirror in the shop. When it was afternoon, the sunlight was just shining on the bronze mirror, making the bronze mirror particularly bright. Therefore, you can stand sparsely across the alley and see the projection in the alley. It is estimated that this young man saw the assassin assassin from the reflection of the bronze mirror.

The only living assassin left did not know the origin and ran away again. Therefore, they took their men to search for the boy. Only by finding clues from the boy were found.

But I found out that the boy also ran away. But because of Wang Hua's glory in Luoyang during this period, I soon learned about what happened to him during this period. The boy was twelve years old. Of course, now he passed the first month of the year, he was thirteen years old. Maybe because of his poor family background, he made lacquerware to make a living. Because of the exquisite lacquerware, the shopkeeper Qi Zhenxuan had some evil thoughts. This was the first time this boy had a conflict with someone in Luoyang.

Although this is not good for Qi Zhenxuan, Wu Zetian seems to know everything now, and these two officials dare not hide it.

Then the young man began to sell the lacquerware made to Hanlinzhai. Because Hanlinzhai had close contacts with the Wang family in Taiyuan, the fifth wife of the Wang family lived in Hanlinzhai after coming to Luoyang. Although it was the Wang family's property, it cannot be said that this was a hidden rule. Although the Wang family refers to a noble family, the Tang Dynasty's law only stipulates that officials are not allowed to do business. There are many laws that stipulate punishments for officials to do business, and even as long as they are relatives who are good at doing business are not allowed to become officials. It is also a piece of paper. The Tang Dynasty's nobles and high-ranking officials' business and bribery have been repeatedly banned. Some do it secretly, and some operate publicly. Even historical books have recorded it many times.

But because it was run by a distant house, even Wu Zetian could not publicly accuse the Wang family of being a businessman. These two officials dare not say that Hanlinzhai is the Wang family's property.

They also dared not hide it. Therefore, they continued, but later Wang Shu, the Sanlang of the Wang family, came to Luoyang to do business and laughed at the article written by the boy. The boy was also not a good master and fought back on the spot. This is the origin of the song (Sleepwalking in Tianmu Mountain).

This is also the second time a boy has made enemies in Luoyang.

But why did Wang Shu mock the young man? The two officials continued to investigate and found the reason. Because they liked the lacquerware made in this year, and the young man was proficient in music, he also advised the fifth lady of the Wang family. Therefore, the fifth lady of the Wang family had been with this young man once or twice. This caused Wang Shu to misunderstand that the young man was seducing his sister, so what happened that day happened.

In fact, this is secretly protecting Wang Shu. Although he spoke to mock Wang Hua, it is understandable. In order to protect his sister, it is inevitable that he will speak more. It is impossible not to say that. Now the Wang family still has officials sitting next to him, let alone officials who have a marriage or relative relationship with the Wang family, so there are more.

The two officials spoke very carefully and said it from a "fair" standpoint. This is indeed a misunderstanding, otherwise the Heavenly King Painting would not have given such a fierce counterattack.

They also wanted to say that this case could not have been done by Wang Shu. After all, he came from a famous family, but after seeing Wu Zetian's face turned pale again after hearing this case, and he didn't dare to mention it. The two of them stuttered: "It's probably what happened. The specific situation will only be until the boy was found and the four gangsters who were taken in by the boy."

"The gangsters? You all joined the army. You have one more thing you haven't reported to the Divine Emperor. These four people are gangsters, but what changes have happened after meeting this young man?" Zhang Yizhi, who had not interrupted for a long time, suddenly said.

At this time, all the ministers suddenly realized that this matter was revealed to Wu Zetian by the Zhang brothers.

When he saw Zhang Yizhi interjecting, the soldiers all over the army sweated from their foreheads. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I forgot to report another thing. These four gangsters were originally gangsters near the West City. But after meeting this young man, they changed a lot. Even their families were blessed."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Yizhi and saw whether he was satisfied or not. It was a different story. If according to the former statement, birds of a feather flock together and people were divided into groups, then it is possible that Wang Hua's character would be the same. But the latter statement raised Wang Hua a lot higher. This is very similar to the behavior of the two famous brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun, a famous Jiangnan scholar in Zhou Chu, and is a virtue.

Only now do they really feel that this case makes him cowardly. Neither the Wang family in Taiyuan or the Zhang brothers, he can afford to offend a young army.

Before he could continue to think further, he heard a "clang" sound.

Wu Zetian had already thrown the teacup on the table. She said with pain: "A twelve-year-old child, who is only twelve years old, has come to Luoyang to make a living because of his poor family. Now, for a little money, people have forced people to shout out how to be able to serve the powerful and powerful, which makes me unhappy. I want to be a hermit, it is really promising."

Many ministers frowned when they heard this. If Wu Zetian said, Hanlinzhai and Qizhenxuan would be in great trouble, and they might have been involved in the two major families of Wang and Zheng. This crime was too great. He actually persecuted a twelve-year-old child for some money.
