first-class champion

A group of dignified eminent monks dressed in cassocks stood neatly in front of the majestic Tianshu. Go to the front of Tianshu, pay homage, then step aside and watch helplessly...

The Seventh Prince had already sent people to bring over ten carts of copper coins. They saw the tall and powerful warriors carrying boxes of copper coins up to the tower. The heavy money boxes bent their waists. When the ceremony ended, the Seventh Prince It will ask people to throw down the copper coins one by one, so many people who come here today are strong laborers at home.

Preparations were also being made in the government. Some lists of rewards had been prepared. Zhuge Shuang had written the Chinese characters for offering sacrifices to the heavens with gold powder.

General Wang Yanzhang and other generals were all brightly armored and dressed in military uniform, looking majestic and majestic. The leaders of various ethnic groups were all wearing national costumes. All kinds of leather hats and pheasant tails gathered together for a while, and some young eunuchs ran back and forth behind Duan Mingyu, His face was flushed.

In the palace, what they do is to serve people, but this is the place where eunuchs should stay, at least no one looks at him with strange eyes.

The hum of whispering and whispering has always permeated the Jinshui Bridge, until the walking chariot of the Seven Princes appeared, and there were actually two sets of imperial chariots. Royal chariot.

When the imperial chariot arrived in front of them, they realized that the seventh prince in a grand five-clawed black dragon suit was sitting on the front chariot, and the seventh princess in golden phoenix was sitting on the rear chariot. On the left and right of the seventh prince's chariot are Duan Mingyu and Zhuge Shuang who are accompanying them on foot.

All the courtiers were a little surprised at first, and then suddenly realized: The seventh princess is sick, it is the prince who takes pity on the princess.

"Brother Duan Xian, come up and talk,"

The auspicious time is still a moment away, the palace gate has not yet opened, and the Seventh Prince's chariot will stop here for a while.

As soon as the chariot stopped, the Seventh Prince smiled and glanced at the courtiers. He didn't want to glance at them, and felt that it was inappropriate for a minister like Duan Mingyu to walk beside him.

Duan Mingyu was a little surprised when he thought that the Seventh Prince would call him, so he hurried forward and took a few steps, Xue Huaiyi really wanted to go forward to greet him, but when he saw the queen summoning the courtiers, he couldn't go forward, so he had to stop angrily.

Yang Fan walked up to Wu Zetian's imperial chariot, cupped his hands and said, "My minister Yang Fan, I have seen a saint."

Wu Zetian was calling people at random out of desperation, and called him in front of him, but he didn't know what to say, and after a quick thought in his mind, he asked with a smile: "The southern border is an important place for the country. Therefore, there is no need to delay the selection of officials in southern Xinjiang, how are you doing with this matter?"

Yang Fan crossed his hands and said: "The minister is following His Majesty's instructions, and is screening day and night. The primary election will end soon, and the list will be reported to the political affairs platform at the time of presentation, and all the prime ministers are invited to review it."

"Um……"

Wu Zetian was simply looking for trouble now, and deliberately dragged Yang Fan to talk, so as not to "act like a baby" by her out-of-favor lover. Hearing this, she nodded and smiled slightly, and asked, "What is the criteria for Yang Qing to select officials?"

Yang Fan didn't understand why she judged herself in public. "Four virtues" and "27 the most" have always been the criteria for the imperial court to select officials. A small official can recite these regulations. Of course he can't rigidly say these things according to the regulations , so he hesitated for a moment, and replied loudly: "The minister serves as a heavenly official, selects scholars for your majesty, and upholds three principles. The first is loyalty."

There were not only civil and military officials present, but also the relatives of the emperor and the chiefs of the four barbarians. When the queen arrived, she ignored others and only called Yang Fan to come forward for a test. In the hearts of all the officials, they naturally had their own interpretations. Entrusting Yang Fan with such an important and fat task of selecting officials shows the empress's trust in him. Now that he is being evaluated in public, I am afraid that it is also because of the empress's favor.

Yang Fan said: "I believe that the most important thing for a minister is loyalty. If there is loyalty, even if the ability is slightly inferior, there will be no major troubles. On the contrary, the stronger the ability, the greater the disaster."

This sentence really touched Wu Zetian's heart. The empress was trying to delay the time to make a random comparison. At this time, she couldn't help nodding frequently, with a look of joy on her face,

Yang Fan said: "I select scholars for your majesty, the second is talent. Your majesty is wise and powerful. He is a rare and prosperous monarch in ancient and modern times. Hundreds of officials and people are all loyal to your majesty. If you want to say that this loyal minister is Bibi All are, on this basis, there must be people with official voices, political achievements, and talents."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, then what is the third one?"

Yang Fan said: "Many of the original officials in southern Xinjiang were dismissed because they were incompetent. The reason for this was neither disloyalty to His Majesty nor incompetence. I carefully figured out why they did not do their job well. Many of them are because they are not familiar with the place at all, and because of their temperament, they cannot let go of their arrogance and communicate with the local chiefs in southern Xinjiang.

Among His Majesty's courtiers, there are a lot of talents, and there are many who are qualified to serve as shepherds. Therefore, the minister first screened out many cadres, and from these people, selected those who have traveled extensively, have rich experience in administration, and have a straightforward and eloquent temperament. , I think His Majesty chooses, "

Wu Zetian laughed heartily, and turned to Li Zhaode, who stood at the head of all the officials: "What do you think, Prime Minister Li?"

Li Zhaode knew that among the candidates selected by Yang Fan, his people and Wu Sansi's people were half and half, which was the one with the largest number of forces. "Although Yang Langzhong is young, he is a capable talent. I congratulate His Majesty,"

Wu Zetian laughed out loud, the whole Tianshu completion ceremony was cumbersome and lengthy, everyone who participated in the ceremony felt differently, (Remember this site for a second and read with me , remember this site, you are rich,)

For those busy eunuchs and court ladies, what they look forward to most is the moment when the grand ceremony ends.

For the countless Luoyang people who gathered here, what they longed for was the spectacle of countless copper coins pouring down from the city.

The famous scholars who are familiar with Zhou etiquette have been poking their lips, picking on where the celebration ceremony is not in line with the ancient etiquette and what is not in line with the Zhou system.

Some royal relatives and relatives will only be enthusiastic when they perform their skills in the inner court, such as Rumei.

What the queen cares most about is whether she is solemn and meticulous when she climbs the iron mountain, reads the edict of amnesty, and reads the Chinese language of offering sacrifices to heaven.
