Wu Zetian's eyes turned and fell on the red candle on the few.

The red candle shone brightly, and her eyes shone brightly. She suddenly smiled and said, "It's a little interesting."

Just five short words contain completely different meanings behind this.

The fact that Wu Zetian can say something interesting itself contains too many attitudes.

She stared at the candlelight, and the jumping fire made her face look gloomy and unstable. At this moment, her mood was as swaying and undulating.

After a long time, she closed her eyes and said word by word: "I am responsible for the will of heaven and enjoy the country, but since I ascended the throne, there have been countless difficulties and obstacles. I am the Holy Emperor, but the power of the country has to be used by others, so that the government orders cannot be understood, and the villain has a lot of people, and good governance will eventually turn into evil politics. As early as the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen also recognized these disadvantages, so he tried to work hard to govern and reform, but what went against his wishes. When Emperor Taizong was still alive, Emperor Taizong also wanted to change, but he was unable to turn things around. They were wrong!"

Wu Zetian's beautiful eyes suddenly opened, his face was solemn, and even his voice began to tremble.

Seeing this, the female officials, eunuchs and palace ladders in the palace bowed down one after another, and their heads were hanging on the ground, not daring to make any noise.

Wu Zetian shook her sleeves suddenly, and the cloak behind her whistled, and she slid from her back. A thin layer of gauze as thin as a cicada's wing could not cover her body, so half of her body was exposed, and her crystal skin was like rice fat, and there was a red light under the fire.

She didn't care and walked quickly in the hall, and a red tide rose on her charming face.

She pursed her red lips and spoke faster: "Whether Sui Wen or Taizong, they are not unsafe, but they are still wrong. They have cured the root cause but have no root cause. As long as those people are irreplaceable, then any measures are nothing more than scratching the surface. I should do better than them. I want to crush them and uproot them!"

Wu Zetian gradually calmed down, and from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Shangguan Wan'er's body. Her face also became meaningful.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was calm and obviously, she had expected this result.

When she knew that Qin Shaoyou had shouted that sentence and when she ordered people to spread the news, she had already expected today, so she was very calm, Gu Jing Wubo had a smile on the corner of her mouth.

What Wu Zetian said about them is a family.

From the Han Dynasty to the present, the family members have experienced filial and honesty, and then to the ninth-rank Zhongzheng, and have long become a beast with green face and fangs. It has almost tortured all rulers from Emperor Wu of Han to the present. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, extremely strict measures were formulated to combat the family. Since then, these family members have not disappeared, but have grown stronger. They adopted the family management method, which can often last for hundreds or even thousands of years. When the Sui Dynasty was established, Emperor Wen of Sui opened the imperial examination for the first time, in order to bypass the family and directly promote talents.

On the surface, Emperor Wen of Sui won, but this stubborn problem has not been fundamentally solved. The power of the aristocratic family is still very strong, so the paper-submission system was born. If the so-called imperial examination candidates are not recognized by the aristocratic family, it is impossible for them to go to high school. They naturally cannot become officials. So everyone sent papers to the rich and sent their articles and poems to these high-ranking nobles who have been in the past few generations. Once they are favored, they will immediately rise to the top.

But the problem is that when candidates submit papers to these prominent people, they actually vote for the letter of honor. After that, you have a job and become a lackey in their disciples.

To put it bluntly, the officials and civil and military officials in the court were just a few lackeys of families. These families controlled the imperial examinations, had countless grain fields, slaves, and tenants, and even kept private soldiers. From temples to ordinary prefectures and counties, their disciples were everywhere, all of them were ‘talents’ they recommended. Naturally, they had the power that even the emperor was afraid of.

The problem is fundamentally here. When Emperor Taizong of Tang was there, he did use some measures to suppress the aristocratic arrogance, but these old trees have deep roots and are not yet at the point of being damaged.

Wu Zetian faced even more serious problems, because since she ascended the throne, the form was even worse. If the aristocratic family was just a rotten sore for the Tang Dynasty during the Taizong period, the aristocratic family was consistent with the interests of the Li clan. Although there were internal conflicts between the two sides, they also had common interests, that is, the emperor and the aristocratic family ruled the world together.

The Wu family is different. The clan obviously has no deep feelings for the Wu family. So after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, many people sang against Wu Zetian. This is why the people Wu Zetian valued are often a group of inferior people, such as Suo Yuanli, who is a Hu person; Lai Junchen and Hou Sizhi were both completely rogues in the past.

A group of such people became Wu Zetian's right-hand man. This is definitely not that Wu Zetian knew people unknown, but that all talents were almost monopolized by aristocratic families. If scholars want to be officials, they must rely on aristocratic families, and aristocratic families paved the way for them. In exchange, these people naturally became vassals of aristocratic families. How could Wu Zetian believe a group of slaves from aristocratic families?

However, Qin Shaoyou's unintentional words suddenly revealed the essence of this stubborn disease.

These clans were born to be opponents of Wu Zetian, and they... stood on the side of Li!

With this, it is enough to make Wu Zetian intolerable.

After a long quiet time, Wu Zetian read the sentence again: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high!"

Her eyes were faint, and she said in the last sentence: "Send an imperial edict to summon Qin Shaoyou to the palace to meet him!"

……………………………………………………

In the early morning, Luoyang City was always misty and misty. Qin Shaoyou got up early in the morning and washed it, he picked up a copy of the manuscript and sat behind the counter.

There are many such manuscripts, which were copied from Qin Shaoyou in the past. In this era, books are rare, printing is not popular, and the efficiency is very low. movable type printing has not yet appeared. Therefore, it is not easy for a small wealthy family to study, because except for some limited popular books, most knowledge acquisition requires a good face. You have to borrow books first, but you have to return them after borrowing books. Photocopying is impossible, so you can only copy them.

Qin Shaoyou was a little worthless for that guy. You just said you copied it, but you actually copied it so neatly. This is a waste of time.

The infamous reputation of a nerd is definitely not groundless. How good can a guy who studies behind closed doors all day long and occasionally borrows books to copy books everywhere? It's like a tenant farmer carrying beautiful jade that should not belong to him. Even if no one covets him, everyone will only laugh at him.

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and looked at the copybook, and couldn't help feeling sad. Now he is just a mud-legged man who inherits the beautiful jade of the nerd. There is no way out to heaven. It seems that it is more practical to find a woman to have a baby.

Woman...

Qin Shaoyou's eyes suddenly shone and he had no intention of studying. He held his cheek and couldn't help but think a lot. Speaking of which... I'm so lonely alone. Without a woman to manage the family business, no one could stare at the two lazy guys Qin Shou and Deng Jian at any time. If you are lazy, you will lose a few big money in a minute. This is awful.

As he thought about it, Qin Shaoyou thought of Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er is good and very consistent with her aesthetic view. She has a big butt and is easy to raise. She is also very big. Uh...will that be very brainless when she is big? This...is a problem.

After a while, he saw Qin Shou getting up and coming out barely. Qin Shaoyou looked at him with class hatred and angrily shouted: "Have you done the pot?"

Qin Shou's body shook, and he was completely awake, and went to the kitchen with a whizz.

Just at this moment, a yellow door in blue appeared in the restaurant: "Which is Qin Shaoyou? The Holy Emperor has the order to enter the palace to meet immediately!"
