Wu Zetian said: "Even if it is a half discount, there will be 250,000!"

Pei Shaoqing said with a nod, "It should be no problem to fold halfway."

Wu Zetian said: "If this happens, there will be 750,000 jin?"

"In fact, it's not just 750,000 yuan." Pei Shaoqing said, "I sold more than 400 girls from Shenxianju, and raised almost 200,000 yuan there, but this money has other uses for the time being."

Wu Zetian said: "Is it the flower list event you mentioned last time?"

"Yes." Pei Shaoqing said, "I spent a lot of money this time and the pomp was quite big. Not only did I invite the three friends Wen Si and Yang Jiong, but I also invited more than a thousand scholars to take the imperial examination."

"There are no room and board fees for the three days of the grand event."

"When the flower list is released, the etiquette of the Ministry of Rites will be almost released."

"The two lists will be released at the same time, and it will definitely be a good story."

"It would be great if the queen could come."

"Not good?" Wu Zetian said, "The Censor will impeach you."

"What's this?" Pei Shaoqing said, "This is a formal custom."

"It depends on the situation at that time." Wu Zetian still didn't dare to say all the words.

Last time she wanted to attend the opening ceremony of Shenxianju, but she was strongly opposed by the prime minister and the censor, so she was not sure whether she could attend this time.

"First send 500,000 guan to the inner warehouse."

Wu Zetian said again: "The enthronement ceremony of Taiping is about to be held, and many preparations must be done first."

"Here!" Pei Shaoqing responded, turned his head and said to Gao Lingsong, "Eunuch Gao, do you think I sent someone to send him here, or do you send someone to pick it up?"

Gao Lingsong hurriedly said, "It's better to go and pick it up by old slave."

"Finish." Pei Shaoqing said, "Then let's go now."

After saying that, Pei Shaoqing put down his chopsticks, got up and left.

Princess Taiping subconsciously wanted to kneel down and get up to follow.

Pei Shaoqing pressed her shoulder and said, "I'll be back later."

"Oh." Princess Taiping immediately sat back obediently.

Wu Zetian sighed softly again, thinking that Taiping was not so obedient to her.

Pei Shaoqing refused to let Princess Taiping follow because she had something to ask Gao Lingsong alone.

When he walked to the empty place, Qing Xuan was the only one who followed him. Pei Shaoqing asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Gao, will the emperor participate in the princess's enthronement ceremony?"

"The Emperor must attend."

Gao Lingsong said: "He has to preside over the presidency."

"That's it." Pei Shaoqing whispered, "Is this possible?"

"It can be done." Gao Lingsong whispered, "Isn't the crown prince's title very smooth?"

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao, for your announcement." Pei Shaoqing said that, taking advantage of the opportunity to shake hands, he stuffed a handful of golden leaves.

Gao Lingsong just touched it and knew that there must be at least fifty taels. His eyes suddenly narrowed into two slits. Pei Sicheng was getting more and more polite.

...

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The gate of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites finally opened.

The scholars who had already handed over the papers and guarded the dragon gate came out in groups of three or three.

Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Shuo walked side by side in front.

Among them, Yao Chong and Song Jing are in good spirits, but Zhang Shuo was still young after all, only sixteen years old. He had three days of exams, so he was a little exhausted and looked listless.

"Brother Yuanzhi, Brother Guangping, how did you do the exam?"

Zhang Shuo said with a frustration: "My first two poems took too much time, which made me not have time to write the following strategy theory. This subject must be out of the blue."

"My answer is also average."

Song Jing said: "It's probably a difficult situation."

Zhang Shuo turned his attention to the oldest Yao Chong again.

Yao Chong said with a complacent look: "My subject should be stable."

Zhang Shuo became even more sad. He thought that you, Yao Chongming, could clearly be a good official, but he insisted on taking the scientific examination. It was too much to compete with us poor scholars to take this only way out.

Yao Chong comforted Zhang and said, "You are still young, only sixteen years old, and you still have a chance if you fail ten subjects."

Zhang Shuo was furious when he heard this, thinking, "Can you speak?" Are you cursing me for not winning ten subjects? It's too much!

Little did he know that Yao Chong was saying the truth, because he had taken nine subjects in a row so far this year and failed all nine subjects in a row. Only he knew the bitterness.

While the three of them were talking, a guard suddenly came up to him.

"Three men have invited me." The guard said, "After the order of Pei Sicheng, I would like to look forward to all the scholars here. I would like to invite all the scholars who participated in the scientific examination to go to Shenxian House, attend the dust-washing banquet, and the Moon Palace Flower List event."

"Pei Shaoqing is really here?" Yao Chong said, "Where do you really want to welcome us?"

"This cannot be missed." Song Jing said overjoyed, "This kind of delicious food and drink is not missed."

"The key is that I can get a free job." Speaking of this, Yao Chong turned his head and said to Zhang, "If you say that, you don't have to participate. After all, the hair has not grown all over yet, haha."

"Who said that?" Zhang said furious.

"I am young, but some places are not small."

Yao Chong and Song Jing laughed and said in unison: "Then go together."

"Go together, go together!" Zhang said, "I want to see how big the grand event of this Moon Palace Flower List?"

While speaking, the guard and capture the horse had already brought it over. Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Shuo turned over the horse and came straight towards the immortal residence of Pingkangfang.

At this time, more scholars came out of the dragon gate.

The guard guard outside the door quickly came forward.
