The emperor said that Linghu Changqing was brought in, but Empress Wu said: "Let Li Rizhi come in and his companions, let them come in and see Your Majesty."

After hearing this, the emperor hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, and Li Rizhi, let them come in together!"

After hearing this, the little eunuch hurried out of the palace, jogged all the way, and said to the guards at the door: "The emperor has an order to ask Peng Ji to escort Linghu Changqing, Li Rizhi and his companions to enter the palace together!"

After hearing this, the guards hurriedly came out and asked Peng Ji to escort Linghu Changqing into the palace. The guards said again: "Mr. Peng, are those who are Li Rizhi and the others?"

Peng Ji nodded and said, "It's them, are they going to search?"

If it is not a minister in the court, then when entering the palace, you must search according to the rules. This is a matter of official business and is definitely not targeted at anyone.

The guard nodded with a smile, and Peng Ji turned his head and smiled at Li Rizhi and the other four, "Nephew Li, come here, Your Majesty wants to see you. Before entering the palace, there is a procedure to leave!"

Others were talking here, and Li Rizhi and the others were not far away, and they could hear it clearly. When they heard that the emperor wanted to summon them, the people were extremely excited. This was to see the emperor. For the people of the Tang Dynasty, this was the highest honor.

Of course, seeing the emperor for the first time is considered an honor, and seeing him more often in the future is just that!

Li Rizhi, Fu Guibao, Cheng Zizai and Chen Yingying came over together, and the guards did not make things difficult for them. After the routine search, don't let them follow Peng Ji into the palace.

Li Rizhi followed Peng Ji, feeling quite nervous. He asked, "Peng Shibo, what kind of etiquette should you use when you see His Majesty the Emperor? I have only seen it in books before, and my uncle also told me, but I have never really used it, so my nephew felt a little guilty!"

But he is like this, and Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai are the same. Only Chen Yingying is still very calm because Chen Yingying is born in a royal family. Although she is a royal family that has lost her country, she still fully understands the royal etiquette, but now she is not too late to talk to Li Rizhi and the others!

Peng Ji smiled and said, "There are not so many things to pay attention to. Your Majesty and the Empress are both very easy-going people. You just need to salute like your elders. Whatever Your Majesty and the Empress ask, you can answer whatever you want, don't be so nervous!"

Even though that is said, you should be nervous. After all, it is the first time you come to the palace to see the emperor. It is fake to say that you are not nervous. Even Chen Yingying himself has a nervous face that is red!

Everyone entered a side hall and waited here. After a short while, the emperor and the queen came. Empress Wu came with her prince Li Lun. She had already changed into clothes and was very solemn. Empress Wu has always been like this. As long as she meets foreign ministers, she must be dressed up dignified. The impression given to the foreign ministers is that His Majesty the Queen is very majestic!

After entering the side hall, the emperor saw Linghu Changqing kneeling under the pillar at a glance. He was furious and shouted at Linghu Changqing: "Beast, I treat you well, how dare you attack the prince? You still have a trace of conscience!"

The most important reason why Linghu Changqing was able to become the chief supervisor of the inner court was that he was loved by the emperor, and the reason why he had the idea that eunuchs should not have was because he was promoted too quickly, so he really thought that he was a person!

Now, when he suddenly became a prisoner and was about to be beheaded, he realized that he was just a slave. Even if he became a third-rank official and took charge of the palace, he was still a slave. The emperor could make him to pieces with one word!

Of course, Linghu Changqing was full of regret and shouted: "Your Majesty, the little slave is wronged. This is all maliciously framed by others. All the evil things were not done by the little slave!"

He is a high eunuch who is introspective of the palace, and he has no need to call himself a slave or a minister. But now it is time to die. He quickly calls himself a slave. With his "pissy" expression, just like when he first served the emperor, it is very pitying!

But the emperor was still angry. No matter how favored the eunuch was, he was just a slave. No matter how much favored the slave was, he could not compare with his own flesh and blood. If you want to use the prince's hair and nails and refine any magic weapon or elixir, it would be a very serious crime and you would not be punished!

Queen Wu just glanced at Linghu Changqing, but ignored him. She just said to Prince Li Lun: "Boy, look, evil people are the most afraid of death. When they do evil, they don't care about other people's lives or death. But if it's their turn to die, they will show their faces of begging for mercy, so you must not sympathize with them, nor can you forgive such people!"

Prince Li Lun is still young and cannot understand what Empress Wu said at all. Empress Wu didn't really tell him. Empress Wu looked at Peng Ji and said, "Thank you, Peng Aiqing, can solve this case of murdering the prince, you should be the first to be successful!"

Peng Jiwei hesitated. Of course, he wanted the first merit, but he was definitely not the first merit to solve this case. He knew it well, so he just accepted the first merit to himself. He couldn't do such a thing. He has always been very honest as an official!

Peng Ji said: "The Empress is wrong. She is definitely not a minister, but Li Rizhi and his companions!"

He turned his body sideways, exposed Li Rizhi and the others, and pointed at Li Rizhi!

Queen Wu nodded immediately and thought to herself: "This Peng Ji is still trustworthy, and you can send him to any major state as the governor!"

Empress Wu's ruling methods are much better than those of the emperor. When the emperor was still getting angry at a eunuch, Empress Wu had already begun to win over ministers and even prepare to win over scholars. It is obvious that she will definitely succeed!

Queen Wu nodded and smiled and said, "Peng Aiqing is indeed an honest gentleman. If the ruler is the one who will benefit the people, I believe that Peng Aiqing will become a model for all officials in a few years. Well, are you Li Rizhi?"

Li Rizhi hurried forward, gave a deep tribute, and said, "Li Rizhi, a sage, have seen the Empress!"

It was not popular in the early Tang Dynasty that when they saw people, they knelt down and kowtowed. Unless they were required to perform a great gift in formal occasions, they would be fine if they were bowing and empresses in general!

Queen Wu looked at the three people behind him again and smiled, "Are they your companions?"

Li Rizhi immediately introduced Fu Guibao, Cheng Zizai, Chen Yingying and the others to Empress Wu. Empress Wu said, "It turns out that he is a young man, you saved the prince's life!"

People in this era are very superstitious. Prince Li Lun's hair and nails were taken away. What kind of pills should be refined or even made into magic weapons. No matter who it is, even those who do not believe in ghosts and gods will think that Prince Li Lun will undoubtedly die, because witchcraft is even more terrifying than demons and monsters. So it makes sense to say that Li Rizhi and others saved Prince Li Lun!

Queen Wu gently patted Prince Li Lun and said, "Brother, come forward to thank them. Never forget their kindness to you!"

Prince Li Lun was very obedient, but he was too young and said unscrupulously. He walked in front of Li Rizhi and the others and said in a silence: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, don't forget your kindness!"

Li Rizhi and the other four were immediately moved. They saluted together and said, "Your Highness is so serious. This is the responsibility of the people!"

Li Lun turned his head and looked at Empress Wu. Empress Wu smiled and said to him: "You want to salute, how did Empress Dowager teach you?"

Li Lun said oh, he turned around, raised his little hand, bowed his fists at Li Rizhi and the others, and bowed, and gave a tribute. He looked very cute in his small model!

And there, the emperor had just gotten angry with Linghu Changqing, so he walked over and said, "Is this person Li Rizhi? Well, there are his companions?"

Li Rizhi and others quickly saluted the emperor!

The emperor nodded at Li Rizhi and the others and said, "Very good, you have done a good job, I have a lot of rewards!"

He didn't explain clearly how much reward he received, but walked aside and sat down, as if he was worried. I wonder what the emperor was thinking?

In terms of means of winning over ministers, the emperor and Empress Wu are simply from heaven and from earth, and cannot be compared. Even if the reward is given by the emperor, the ministers will only remember Empress Wu’s goodness!

At this time, Peng Ji spoke again. He was really very interested. He said that Li Rizhi was very appreciated by Yan Liben and was a scholar waiting for the imperial examination.

After hearing this, Empress Wu said, "There is still some time before the exam. Is there a shortage of people in your yamen to help you? Why don't you let them help you and find out how to be a good official who is loyal to the court and benefit the people!"

This is actually Empress Wu who promised Li Rizhi and the others that they will be won in the upcoming scientific examination, and since they were selected by Empress Wu, they will definitely be valued by her in the future!

Empress Wu is still very practical, so if Li Rizhi and others are willing to work hard to do practical things, then as long as Empress Wu is in power for one day, they may show their strengths, do practical things for the people, and also gain a good future for themselves!

Li Rizhi was overjoyed. He originally wanted to go to Beijing for investment banking, but he didn't expect that he would vote for Queen Wu and successfully voted. Queen Wu asked him to go to Chang'an County to follow Peng Ji, but in fact he was just letting him learn how to become an official!

Whose line of papers can get such results?

Although there are many wealthy nobles in the capital, no one can give Li Rizhi such treatment. In the world, only the emperor and Empress Wu can do this. However, the emperor obviously doesn't care about the matter, so only Empress Wu is left!

Li Rizhi and the others quickly saluted again, thanked Empress Wu, and then took Peng Ji to leave the side palace together and left the palace. What kind of punishment would Yu Linghu Changqing receive, it was not their business, and there was no need to ask more. In fact, anyone could predict Linghu Changqing's fate!

After leaving the palace gate, Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai were both very excited, and even Chen Yingying smiled. Li Rizhi asked: "Uncle Peng, can you really go to your yamen to study?"

Peng Ji smiled and said, "Of course, no joke, the queen is also the king. Of course, what she said must be counted. You can come to the yamen tomorrow and learn from what the clerk wants to do!"

He praised him for a few words and then returned to the yamen. He had to quickly take back the official documents of the sea arrest so that the locals would not post the official documents.

Fu Guibao said: "Brother, can we also work as an office worker in the county government? Wouldn't we become officials in advance?"

Cheng Zizai took a few breaths and said, "Are you going to be an official now? I'm not ready yet!"

Chen Yingying said anxiously: "You all want to become officials? What about me, what should I do!"

She is a woman and cannot be an official, so she has some slight sarcasm!

Li Rizhi said, "What kind of official do we just learn! Well, there is a word called Guanzheng. We can't even be considered Guanzheng. The person who teaches us should be some clerks, so we are called Guanzheng when we are at the top of our heads."

Chen Yingying said, "Oh, it turns out that you are just observing officials, ha, then I'll be relieved." She laughed haha, and she didn't have any gaze.

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai thought about it and were right. They just went to study in the county government. Who can be some people in the county government? Either they were just some constables or some clerks.

What can you learn from these people? The ability of constables is not as good as theirs, so at most they just follow the clerks. When they think about learning to write and calculate with the clerks, they suddenly lost interest.

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate these things. This means that we can become officials directly after the scientific examination. Of course, we may not necessarily be in Chang'an County, but maybe we are going to another county!"
