Chapter 23 Auspiciousness
Du Shenyan, Li Jiao, Cui Rong and Su Weidao were standing on the second floor platform and waiting bored to go to court.
Until now, they still don’t know what the significance of the queen convening this grand dynasty meeting was, and what made them even more confused was why they wanted to summon a guard?
But he didn't dare to communicate in private, otherwise the censor would impeach them.
In a daze, a tall figure had already climbed to the second floor platform.
Although you can only see one silhouette, you can still see that this is a handsome young man.
However, this young man was really brave. When he went in and out of Hanyuan Hall, he was like his own backyard, and there was no restraint in his movements.
This is much better than when they first entered Xuanzheng Hall after they passed the Jinshi exam in high school.
Could this young man be the descendants of a descendant of the Duke of Hechuan Shoghacheng? But there are only a few Dukes who were deprived of their titles in this dynasty. Could it be one of them?
...
Not to mention the random thoughts of these Tang officials, Pei Shaoqing followed the steps to the third floor of the platform, and then entered the Hanyuan Hall with high apprehension under the gaze of hundreds of officials in the brutal robe.
At this time, Qingxuan could only stay outside the hall.
There are much fewer officials in Hanyuan Hall.
In addition to high-ranking officials wearing purple robes, there are also envoys from various countries in strange costumes.
In addition, there were two young men wearing bright yellow round neck shirts standing at the head of the two classes.
Surprisingly, Pei Shaoqing also saw two acquaintances in the middle of the hall, one was Princess Taiping and the other was Di Renjie. Their eyes looked at Pei Shaoqing at the same time.
Princess Taiping's mouth curled slightly, as if she smiled slightly.
As for the person sitting on the throne of the jade steps in the north of Hanyuan Hall, it is naturally Wu Zetian.
Without the old eunuch reminding him, Pei Shaoqing bowed to Wu Zetian at the entrance of the hall and said, "Pei Shaoqing, pay homage to the Queen of Heaven!"
"Let's keep your body flat." Wu Zetian Dao.
"Thank you, Queen." Pei Shaoqing stood up with the flow and stood up high.
The next moment, all the officials in the hall focused on Pei Shaoqing.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, the hundreds or dozens of officials in the hall brought Pei Shaoqing a sense of oppression far more than the more than ten thousand officials outside the hall.
But Pei Shaoqing still stood up like a javelin.
Di Renjie and Pei Shaoqing looked at each other and asked loudly: "Pei Shaoqing, you said that Wenqu Xingjun sent you a dream to you, and you have auspiciousness to the queen, right?"
"Yes." Pei Shaoqing responded loudly.
Di Renjie said again: "He Xiangrui?"
Pei Shaoqing said: "Wenqu Xingjun told the people in his dream that the Queen of Heaven has been in the dynasty for twenty years, and has eliminated bad policies and revitalized the imperial examinations, so that our Tang Dynasty culture and education flourished, and many talents emerged, and the world has risen and the country has come to the court. Therefore, he gave more than 800 poems about heaven to assist in culture and education and promote the prosperity of the times!"
Speaking of this, Pei Shaoqing suddenly emphasized his tone.
"I dare to ask you all, isn't this auspicious person from heaven?"
Quiet! The entire Hanyuan Hall suddenly became silent like death!
Everyone in the hall, including the senior officials of purple robe and the Gentile envoys, were all stupid there.
Only a smile quietly flashed across Wu Zetian's lips, Pei Shaoqing's performance was even more outstanding than she expected.
She was originally worried that Pei Shaoqing would be frightened and could not speak, so she even summoned Princess Taiping to let him see an acquaintance and relax.
But unexpectedly, Pei Shaoqing was not at all afraid of stage.
What I said was even more exciting than what I said last night.
The psychological shock brought to the ministers in the court was beyond her expectations.
Wu Zetian thought to himself that there was no better result than this.
The dead silence in Hanyuan Hall lasted for more than ten breaths.
After more than ten breaths, the silence in the hall was interrupted by a sneer.
Immediately, a foreign envoy wearing fur came out and stood at the stairs.
"Report to the Queen of Heaven." The envoy of the foreign country said loudly, "The foreign ministers are unhappy if they don't say a word."
"This person's surname is Lun, and his name is Lun Zhongcong." Princess Taiping stood beside Pei Shaoqing at some time and whispered, "It was the envoy sent by Tubo to the Tang Dynasty to request marriage."
While Princess Taiping was whispering, Wu Zetian said calmly: "Say."
Lu Zhongcong said: "Foreign ministers have heard of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's culture and education and the magnificence of poetry and prose, such as Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin, Yang Jiong and Luo Binwang, the poems and prose of the four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, such as Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin, Yang Jiong and Luo Binwang, I can also recite them like a stream of thoughts."
"So, the foreign minister wants to ask whether the more than 800 heavenly poems taught by Pei Xiaolangjun and Wenqu Xingjun in his dream can be as high as the poems and essays written by Wang Yang, Lu Luo and other four heroes?"
Pei Shaoqing sneered and said, "I have never heard of the four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but since the more than 800 poems taught by Wenqu Xingjun dare to be called heavenly poems, their standards must be far better than those of King Yang and Luluo."
There is nothing wrong with this. The poems in the early Tang Dynasty should not be compared with the middle Tang Dynasty, but even the late Tang Dynasty is not as good as those in the late Tang Dynasty.
Although Wang Yang and Lu Luo were known as the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, if we put aside their contributions and only talk about the level of poetry and prose, we would basically rank out of the top 50 among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, and only Wang Bo could enter the top 20.
Lun Zhongcong said: "There are many poems written by Wang Yang and Lu Luo, among which are outstanding and ordinary. I wonder how the eight hundred heavenly poems taught by Wenqu Xingjun in his dream are compared with the good poems written by Wang Yang and Lu Luo?"
Lun Zhongcong was step by step at the pace he planned. As long as Pei Shaoqing was in trouble, he would be confident that he would make this auspicious incident a scandal, causing the queen to fall into a big fight at the dynasty meeting. At that time, many troubles will arise in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty, and it may even cause disasters.
If this is the case, it will be enough to make up for the guilt of failing to seek marriage.
He could also return to Zamp and Daxian to report to Zamp.
However, the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty present were also talented people. How could they not see Lu Zhongcong’s sinister intentions?
These ministers may also be disgusted with the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven to create auspiciousness, but the differences with the Queen of Heaven are internal affairs after all. If Lun Zhongcong succeeds his trick, the Tang Dynasty will suffer.
At this moment, more than a dozen ministers left the list at the same time.
These ministers originally wanted Pei Shaoqing to make a move, but before they could speak, Wu Zetian waved his hand and asked first: "Pei Xiaolangjun, what do you say?"
Pei Shaoqing said: "Caomin is still the same thing.Caomin does not understand any poetry, but since the poems taught by Wenqu Xingjun dare to be called heavenly poems, its level must be outstanding. Compared with the good poems written by Wang Yang and Lu Luo, Wang Yang and Lu Luo are mortals after all, how can they be compared with heavenly people?"
Lu Zhongcong was stunned when he heard this. Is it so satisfying?
Is this the ignorant fearless or fearless?
Is there really a ridiculous thing like Wenqu Xingjun offering auspiciousness?
Lun Zhongcong smiled awkwardly and said, "Foreign ministers should listen carefully."
