Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 287, Open Martial Arts!

silent all night,
The next day, under the torment of his elder brother's magic voice, Di Ping'an got out of bed in a dull mood, put on his seventh-rank county magistrate uniform, and was about to start working as an ordinary county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty. A low key day!
In the case of Chen's hanging in Daningfang yesterday, only one Wang Gui was arrested, and he was detained in Wannian County Prison. Di Pingan called Wang Gui out early in the morning and tried him again.

As expected, there was not much difference from last night's prediction. Even though Wang Gui was the housekeeper of the Chen residence, he had never heard of any account books at all!

After all, if Wang Gui knew about the ledger, then Liu Yizhi could buy Wang Gui off, so there's no reason why Liu Yizhi wouldn't just get the ledger away from Wang Gui!
Waving his hand, Di Pingan asked Wang Gui to go down directly, and he didn't make it too difficult for Wang Gui.

Although Wang Gui was wrong, it has nothing to do with Chen's death. After all, Wang Gui is just a housekeeper.
Even if Wang Gui is to be convicted, Wang Gui's crime is only a false report, and he even reported it to Chang'an Mansion.

But for Di Ping'an, there is no other way to deal with people like Wang Gui.
After imitating Di Renjie's threats, Wang Gui said everything he knew!

……

Today is another three-day small court meeting,
The heads of the various yamen of the imperial court headed straight to the Ziwei Palace early in the morning.
Officials of rank five and above in No. [-] are divided into two classes, civil and military, in Ziwei Hall. Under the shout of long live, Her Majesty the Empress makes her debut!
The Xiaochaohui was still the same as before, and nothing major happened. After the various government offices briefly reported the situation, Wu Zetian looked at Helan Anshi for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Helan Anshi, how is the grain, grass and military pay in northern Xinjiang going?"

A total of 500 million military pay and 80 stone grain and grass are required for northern Xinjiang’s military pay and food. This matter has already been mentioned at the last great court meeting. The empress has full power to He Lan Anshi to handle. After all, the Minister of the Household Department is in charge of these matters !

Hearing Wu Zetian's inquiry, He Lan Anshi stepped out of the queue immediately, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, food, grass and ordnance are being prepared, but the required amount is relatively large, but it will be completed on time after one month. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Shan, military pay and food and grass are the most important thing for the stability of northern Xinjiang, so don't be careless!"

When Wu Zetian heard the words, he nodded immediately and said, but didn't say much!
After Helan Anshi withdrew, the empress cleared her throat, and said again:

"Not long ago, the Jinshi imperial examination ended. I selected many useful talents for the imperial court. I am quite satisfied. I have already said before that the imperial examination should not only have liberal arts, but also martial arts. I mean, What do you think of the martial arts imperial examinations being held in early April to select generals for the imperial court again?"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice for a moment, Wu Zetian had already been thinking about the matter of the military examination for a long time.

The idea of ​​the martial arts imperial examination was that the Empress suddenly realized it when she heard Di Pingan's heartfelt thoughts, and she was quite inspired. hold,
Instead, it is divided into two times. After the Jinshi imperial examination is successfully completed and achieved great success, the martial arts imperial examination will be held again.
In this way, one can free up energy, and the complete success of the Jinshi imperial examination can also increase the weight of the martial arts imperial examination, so that the Jinshi imperial examination will not steal the limelight of the martial arts imperial examination!

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take orders!"

There was no objection in the Ziwei Palace. Seeing this, the Empress nodded in satisfaction for a moment. This is the advantage of holding the Jinshi Imperial Examination first and then the Martial Arts Examination. There are two strange essays in the Jinshi Imperial Examination first. If you do it again, there will be no resistance!

"Since it is the military examination, there must also be a chief examiner, Marshal Cheng, the chief examiner of the military examination, I will trouble Marshal Cheng to be the chief examiner!"

On the throne, Wu Zetian glanced over the civil and military officials in the Ziwei Palace, and finally fell on Cheng Yaojin!

Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin can be regarded as the only remaining one who has achieved great achievements. Having an old marshal like Cheng Yaojin as the chief examiner of the martial arts imperial examination can also show that the imperial court attaches great importance to the martial arts imperial examination!

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, select talents and appoint talents for Your Majesty, and run this martial arts imperial examination well!"

Among the ministers, Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing immediately, and took over this task!
After inquiring about the Northern Xinjiang Army's Salary, Food and Grass Supervision, and confirming the military examination, there is nothing too important to do next.
Liu Yizhi, the left servant of the Household Department, and Yinqiu Shenji of the Jingzhao Prefecture are both fourth-rank officials. Not only can they participate in the Xiaochaohui, but even their ranking in the Xiaochaohui can be regarded as above-average.

After everyone withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall one after another, Qiu Shenji approached Liu Yizhi again:

"Master Liu, Mr. Qiu has something to say to Mr. Liu, please stay a while!"

Being called by Qiu Shenji suddenly, even Liu Yizhi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking that this old Bideng came to look for him last night, didn't he?Did something happen again today!

With this in mind, Liu Yizhi carefully followed Qiu Shenji to find a slightly secluded place, and then Liu Yizhi asked a little nervously, "I don't know what Master Qiu has to teach you!"

"Master Liu, I thought about the matter of Daning's visit yesterday, and it was true that Qiu had mishandled it, so I apologized to Master Liu. The two brothers Di Renjie and Di Ping'an were indeed not easy to provoke. Fortunately, this The matter has been resolved smoothly, if Master Liu does not dislike it, I would like to invite Master Liu to Pingkang tonight to have a talk, I wonder what Master Liu would like?"

Qiu Shenji immediately said with sincerity!
From Qiu Shenji's point of view, he had already sincerely apologized to Liu Yizhi. Besides, he didn't help much in handling the Daningfang matter yesterday, but no matter what, he personally dispatched it.

And the matter was resolved smoothly and satisfactorily in the end. Although it was said that He Lan Anshi had worked hard, but he was a colleague of each other. Now he apologized to Liu Yizhi for his crime, and he should be able to restore the relationship between them!
But what Qiu Shenji never expected was that he had already apologized so sincerely,
But Liu Yizhi didn't seem to be satisfied at all, instead he directly asked him with wide eyes:

"Master Qiu, you are sleepy. Didn't you come to my house last night?"
