Chapter 49: Sending Buddha to the West
"It's hard to walk..." Wu Zetian said quietly.☆→
Then, she smiled sweetly and said, "It's hard to go on a journey. These two poems are really touching. They are both portrayals of you and my."
Wu Zetian looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply and said meaningfully: "Actually, I am a humble father like you, my father..."
When talking about the word "father", a hint of warmth flashed through Wu Zetian's eyes.
In fact, she rarely mentioned her family affairs, probably because her father was not a family member. Because of her poor family, she carried a burden to sell tofu in various villages and had run timber business with her fellow villager Xu Wenbao. Although she later sponsored Li Yuan to raise an army and finally had the opportunity to be promoted to the title, Wu Zetian knew very well that in the hearts of the real family, it was really not worth mentioning.
But today, Wu Zetian was in high spirits. In the past, she felt that some things were difficult to talk about because of the prejudice of the family and to some extent influenced by the ideology controlled by the family. Since Qin Shaoyou proposed that everything was inferior and that he was high in his studies, and today, a small chef could make a splash and write poems that countless children of the family could not match, Wu Zetian discovered that there was nothing difficult to talk about in this subtle way.
So this was once known to everyone, but Wu Zetian, who was silent about this, now said very briskly from the mouth of the Emperor Zetian: "My father was doing business in his early years and knew the difficulties of walking, so he realized that in life, it is better to rely on himself than on others. So he respected and taught me. Now, when he thinks of his voice, appearance, and smile, I really teach me."
She couldn't help but smile: "I remember my father also sold tofu."
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Zetian in surprise. In fact, there were indeed many Wu Zetian's opposition secretly calling Wu Zetian's father a tofulang. There were such records in many cases of rebellion investigated. Wu Zetian has always been very taboo about this. What she mentioned will always be the official career of the warrior in the second half of his life. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian took out such privacy today and said it openly.
Those two poems, and this Qin Shaoyou, seem to have begun to influence His Majesty.
Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, but...
She thought to herself: "I like to eat tofu."
As a result, Qin Shaoyou's next words shocked Shangguan Wan'er: "Your Majesty, I like to eat tofu."
Shangguan Wan'er looked at him in shock. It turned out that you like to eat too. Then she felt that it was inappropriate. This sentence was a bit taboo.
Wu Zetian just smiled sweetly: "Is that so? I like it too."
Wu Zetian's mood became extremely relaxed. In fact, it was no big deal to say something. Those political enemies used this to attack him. Now Wu Zetian understood that this was not a weapon, but his enemies were actually just himself.
She smiled and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back to the palace. Your poem is well written. This poem can express your ambitions. I really hope that I can read your masterpiece next time. I can't write poems, but Wan'er is well aware of this. If you have free time, I will ask her to ask you for advice."
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly said, "I dare not ask for advice. I should learn from the Qin assistant teacher."
Wu Zetian pursed her lips and said, "Where is the Four Sects, Professor Qin will continue to teach poetry. I hope you can cultivate talents for the country and educate the country. I hope that the importance of education will be on you."
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly promised, "I obey the order." He couldn't help but feel disappointed. It turned out that there was no promotion for the official position, cough cough... It's difficult to walk, and it's even more difficult to be an official.
He is not an official fan, but he knows the importance of power in this world and is obsessed with interests. Doesn’t people live just because they want to live well, so they are not pretentious.
Wu Zetian's face immediately pulled down and walked to the six doctors.
The six doctors were all looking like earth at this time, and the situation had reversed and they were finished.
Even if Your Majesty does not punish him, his reputation will be greatly hit. I am afraid that I will not be able to raise my head in this life.
Wu Zetian just smiled faintly, and then said: "All the ministers are old and want to resign and retire and live their lives. If I take away my love, it will inevitably be unethical. People have birth, old age, sickness and death. How can I bear to be the ones who are suffering from aging, sickness and suffering? From tomorrow, all the ministers can return to their hometowns."
Then, countless people withdrew like a tide with the Holy Emperor, leaving only six doctors who were full of thoughts, and their career path ended here.
The most ridiculous thing is that without a career, even his reputation has been completely ruined, and his lifelong efforts have now been wasted.
County Magistrate Liu was stunned and had not recovered for a long time.
But Qin Shaoyou is different. He has the tradition of hitting a dog with pain. When his eyes rolled, he immediately smiled with a bad stomach, and then took a step forward to support Wang Yan kneeling on the ground.
According to his understanding, Wang Yan is the most impulsive and irritable among the six doctors. This time he suffered such a blow, he must have hated him so much.
Qin Shaoyou looked up to support him as if he was uncomfortable for them, and said, "Prince, the ground is cold..."
Wang Yan came back and looked down on Qin Shaoyou, and regarded him as a tool for his reputation. He thought that this guy could crush him into meat sauce with just one step, but who knew that he would lose everything in the end. Now seeing Qin Shaoyou approaching with hypocritical attitude, his mind buzzing, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Qin Shaoyou, you treacherous, dog thief!"
Qin Shaoyou reached out his hand, and his hand pulled Qin Shaoyou's sleeve.
Qin Shaoyou laughed.
sneer!
He is not a very broad-minded person. From the time these six doctors use themselves as chess pieces and finally stepping on him like garbage, Qin Shaoyou knew that these people must not have a good result. This is not only a personal grudge, but most importantly, he wants to let those who dare to provoke him see that although he is a chef and has a humble official position, he is definitely not easy to provoke.
Qin Shaoyou shook his sleeves. Wang Yan was not young after all, so he was not Qin Shaoyou's opponent. So he staggered. Before he could stand firm, Qin Shaoyou had already slapped him hard on his face.
Bang...
Wang Yan was stunned, Shangguan Wan'er slapped, Qin Shaoyou slapped again, and the slap was even heavier, directly knocking down one of his front teeth.
He raised his eyes angrily: "You, a chef, dare you beat me?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled contemptuously at him, and then his eyes fell on the magistrate Liu: "Mr. Liu..."
“Here, here.”
Seeing the chaos in this Jinmin Hall, County Magistrate Liu was so full of thought that when Qin Shaoyou called him, he subconsciously responded.
Qin Shaoyou said with a stern voice: "I guess the magistrate Liu County has seen the scene just now. This old man has no official position now. He dares to take the lead in touching his subordinates in the court. Is there any kingly law in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Is there any law?"
A shout made County Magistrate Liu's eyelids jump. No matter how you say it right and wrong, it's all that you, Qin Shaoyou, is right.
But after careful consideration, His Majesty said that he had allowed six people to retire, but looking at it, he was actually dismissed from office. It was not wrong to say that these six people were grass-roots people. Besides, they are now notorious and have no effect among scholars. Qin Shaoyou kindly went to support Wang Yan, and Wang Yan did take action first. According to logic...
Just when he was in a daze, Qin Shaoyou looked at him with a faint look and said coldly: "Sir, let me do it myself. If you don't give me an explanation, it's better to persuade the lord to withdraw from the slander."
The drum of grievances is a symbol of each county, how can it be removed? Qin Shaoyou's meaning is very clear. If he doesn't give him justice, he, County Magistrate Liu, would not be able to live in peace.
