This sentence surprised Chen Yingying and the others again. Why has His Royal Highness become Li Rizhi's senior brother again? Then who is their master?&1t;/p>

Li Rizhi told the story about the incident. He was also involved in the relationship with Prince Li Hong, and he had a relationship with his senior brother.&1t;/p>

Cheng Zizai seemed to be stimulated. He looked as if he was struck by lightning and murmured: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is your senior brother, so isn't that my senior brother too? If you meet Your Highness the Crown Prince in the future, what should I call him? Just call him a senior brother?"&1t;/p>

Fu Guibao was envious and said, "I'm afraid he won't recognize you as a junior brother. Even if he recognizes it, the emperor will probably think that there are too many disciples and refuse to accept you!"&1t;/p>

Several people talked and laughed, went back to Chen Yingying's house and let the kitchen have a banquet. They sat opposite each other and chatted with young people. They were full of fantasies about their future life, especially when they were happy about Li Rizhi's passing of the Jinshi exam.&1t;/p>

Fu Guibao was impatient. He wanted to send someone back to Xingyang now and tell his family about Li Rizhi's success as a Jinshi, but Li Rizhi said he should wait, it's not bad for the past few days. It's not too late to send someone after the list comes out. The more important the matter is, the more stable it is.&1t;/p>

In the palace.&1t;/p>

Empress Wu sat upright behind the desk and was writing annotations to a memorial. In front of the desk, Tong Guinu stood. Tong Guinu bowed his waist and reported to Empress Wu in a low voice. What he said was Zhao Jian's case.&1t;/p>

In fact, a murder case was not reported to Empress Wu. Empress Wu was not very interested in such a thing. Even if she was interested, she wanted to use it to achieve her desired goal. As for who Zhao Jian was, no one would care about it.&1t;/p>

However, Zhao Jian just obtained an identity, that is, the scholar who was tried by the Ministry of Rites, and he ranked above Li Rizhi, and Li Rizhi was the second in the first place. This actually means that Zhao Jian is a Qualified Jinshi!&1t;/p>

Of course, it doesn't matter whether he will be wiped out during the Ministry of Personnel Examination. What's important is that he died without taking the Ministry of Personnel Examination. If the matter spreads, he will only treat him as a quasi-jinshi!&1t;/p>

At such a critical moment, such a murder case was very unfavorable for Emperor Wu to later say.&1t;/p>

For Emperor Wu, there are two most important things now. One thing is to give birth to the baby, and have more children and good fortune. For her, every child is the guarantee of the status of the queen, so the child is the first priority. She hopes that the fetus is a daughter.&1t;/p>

The second thing is Fengshan, Taishan. She really wants to raise her status to the same height as the emperor through this Fengshan. Even if she cannot raise that height, she must make the people of the world understand not only the ministers, but everyone in the world must understand that she is second only to the emperor!&1t;/p>

Moreover, her existence is not only to manage the court for the emperor, but also to manage the court. This is the message she wants to express to the people of the world through this Fengshan Mountain.&1t;/p>

The two saints come to the court, this is the will of God, so others should not object to it!&1t;/p>

After listening to Tong Guinu's narration, Empress Wu put down her pen, raised her head, and said, "This may be a conspiracy, some people with ulterior motives want to deal with this conspiracy!"&1t;/p>

Tong Guinu nodded immediately. He thought so, but he said again: "But Li Rizhi solved the case. The person he caught was not just two irrelevant porters and coolies, but the case can be settled!"&1t;/p>

Queen Wu snorted and said, "On the surface, they are two irrelevant people, but in fact, there must be someone behind the scenes. It's not possible that it's such a simple thing!"&1t;/p>

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a case of a Jinshi being murdered. Of course, even if it is born, Empress Wu's temper will only think that this is an accident. Two irrelevant people have murdered Zhao Jian, that's all.&1t;/p>

However, Empress Wu had this case at the critical moment of actively promoting the Fengshan Mountains. Then, with Empress Wu's temper, could she think that this was just an accident?&1t;/p>

It is also OK to put the saying that there are always unlucky people who want to harm me on Queen Wu, and there are always evil ministers who want to harm me!&1t;/p>

When Tong Guinu heard the meaning of this, he knew that Empress Wu was going to deal with a group of ministers. He couldn't accept this, so he simply kept silent and didn't accept it.&1t;/p>

Empress Wu has always made a decision very quickly. She just thought for a while and said, "The chief of Yongzhou Prefecture is not a close person to the palace. In this case, he acted abnormally. Even if he was not the entourage, he was an insider and needed to be replaced, and his minions must be replaced together."&1t;/p>

Tong Guinu hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was something he wanted to say. He said, "Yongzhou Prefecture is in charge of the Jingji area, which is really an important position. It is not difficult to replace the Chief Secretary. Who can replace him?"&1t;/p>

Queen Wu said: "That Li Rizhi is good, young and motivated, and good at solving cases. What's important is that he is a close person to the palace and is trustworthy."&1t;/p>

Tong Guinu was shocked. It was gold that this could not be silent. He hurriedly said, "Empress, Li Rizhi had just passed the exam and was young. He had never been an official before. He directly made him the chief minister of Yongzhou Prefecture. I thought this was absolutely impossible!"&1t;/p>

Empress Wu scolded: "What do you think about random things? How can you make him the chief minister? At most, he will only go to Yongzhou Prefecture to observe politics and learn how to be an official."&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

After saying that, Empress Wu thought about it. The position of the chief of the Yongzhou Prefecture was too important, but for a while, she could not come up with a decent candidate. She could only find a deputy chief of the chief. If she chose from the ministers who were loyal to her, Xu Jingzong was the most suitable.&1t;/p>

Empress Wu said: "Let Prince Li Lun be the governor of Yongzhou, and Xu Jingzong is the acting chief minister to assist Li Lun in handling matters in the Jingji area."&1t;/p>

Prince Li Lun is still a young child and cannot work at all. However, officials like the governor of Yongzhou were not actually positions, but were held by the princes. They were more of a nominal symbolic title. The actual person who was doing business was the chief minister of the palace.&1t;/p>

After hearing this, Tong Guinu hurriedly obeyed the order and was about to draft the order, but then heard Empress Wu say, "Let Li Rizhi enter Yongzhou Prefecture to observe the politics as a Chengwulang."&1t;/p>

Chengwulang is a literary official from the eighth rank, and has no specific position. In other words, although Li Rizhi does not have an actual official position, he directly has a private official rank, and if he is awarded an official in the future, he must have started from this level.&1t;/p>

Generally speaking, new Jinshi will be awarded official positions from the ninth rank, probably from the ninth rank or from the ninth rank, and basically will not be awarded official positions from the ninth rank. Li Rizhi started from the eighth rank, which means that it is at least two levels higher than other Jinshis, which is quite special and good treatment.&1t;/p>

After Tong Guinu wrote the order, he took it to the Shangshu Province, and then went to the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel notified Li Rizhi.&1t;/p>

When an official from the Secretariat saw the decree, he actually dismissed the chief of the Yongzhou Prefecture. He was shocked. Such a high-ranking official would just be dismissed if he said he would be dismissed. This is simply too domineering!&1t;/p>

However, no one questioned Empress Wu's decision, because no one is a fool. Now who has the final say in the court, their hearts are like a mirror.&1t;/p>

A day later, the Shangshu Province announced the list of new Jinshi, a big list was posted at the gate of the Ministry of Personnel's Office. Countless people from the capital went to watch. On this day, the gate of the Ministry of Personnel's Office was the most lively.&1t;/p>

But there were no reference scholars at the gate looking at the list. At this time, the scholars who were admitted to Jinshi were different from the future, because the number of people admitted to Jinshi was too small, and only more than twenty people were admitted in one subject. Sometimes even twenty people were not admitted enough, unlike in later generations who had to admit 20 or three hundred people in each subject.&1t;/p>

Therefore, in this era, most scholars have to taste the pain of failing the exam, especially those scholars who have taken the exam many times but have not passed the exam, and have been desperately famous before the exam, investing in papers everywhere, making themselves famous and must win.&1t;/p>

For them, when they look at the list, they are almost suffering and tortured. Some scholars may even lose their composure, cry, or faint, etc. Such symptoms are really unbearable in their face!&1t;/p>

For scholars who pay great attention to their demeanor, this is absolutely impossible. Even if they want to lose their composure, they cannot lose their composure in front of others. Even if they want to cry, they will just hide in the quilt and cry, and they don’t need to let others see it.&1t;/p>

Because of this, most scholars did not come to see the list in person, but waited at their residence and waited for people to inform them. After they received the notice, they knew that they had won, and then came out of the residence and gathered together, doing what they should do!&1t;/p>

This situation will only change after the imperial examination was improved during the reign of Empress Zetian. At that time, the scientific examination was relatively fair, and the scholars could bear it psychologically, so they dared to look at the list.&1t;/p>

If scholars do not look at the list, they will give birth to an industry, that is, if anyone can notify the scholars who pass the exam, then they will get rewards. Therefore, many gangsters on the street are the most active at this time!&1t;/p>

The red list was posted, and someone shouted: "First in the first place, Hong Li...Who is this? Why haven't you heard of it!"&1t;/p>

I haven't heard of it, so I don't know where to live, so I can't ask for rewards. However, those who want to ask for rewards will not stick to who is Hong Li, but look back immediately. The second place in the first place is Li Rizhi!&1t;/p>

"Li Rizhi! I know him, I know where he lives!" someone shouted.&1t;/p>

Li Rizhi is very famous. Although Li Rizhi has not made a name for himself, among the undergraduate scholars, he is the most pragmatic, and he can be related to the government. For example, he is the only scholar who went to Chang'an County to "intern" and he is the most outstanding among scholars!&1t;/p>

Two people squeezed out of the crowd and ran south. The two people knew where Li Rizhi lived. Unfortunately, they were too confused to hide. They should come out secretly and stay away from the crowd first. When everyone didn't pay attention to them, they would run again.&1t;/p>

In this way, wouldn’t they go to Li Rizhi first? Li Rizhi is the second in the first place. Can you give less rewards for such a great thing?&1t;/p>

But as soon as these two people ran away, others appeared and followed them and asked them to lead the way. They even ran dozens of people together!&1t;/p>

On the way, someone asked, "What are you doing?"&1t;/p>

"Go to report good news to the new Jinshi and ask for money!"&1t;/p>

There is such a good thing!&1t;/p>

Okay, before the Chen Yingying's house could be reached, there were hundreds of people reporting the good news. After entering the yard, neighbors came to join in the fun. Outside the gate, there were three or four hundred people surrounding the Chen family, which made the Chen family's gate so messy.&1t;/p>
