Mei Niang, I'm a fake eunuch, you still let me sleep

Chapter 45 The target of public criticism
So early?
Zhao Wujiang was puzzled, he packed the elixir, picked up the medicine box, and set off with Xiao Yuzi.

On the way, Zhao Wujiang solemnly warned Xiao Yuzi to remember to knock on the door next time he came to his room, and Xiao Yuzi nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

"Report to the emperor, Mr. Zhao will bring it here." Xiao Yuzi bowed and said.

After speaking, he stood quietly outside the door.

"Come in!"

It was Li Zhi's voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Wujiang opened the door and entered.

In the imperial study room, the Minister of Rites, Doctor Yu Shi, Wang Yifang, and Zhu Youci, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were all there.

It seems to be about the imperial examination. If I'm not wrong, it should be about Zhu Suiliang's suspected fraud. Zhao Wujiang took everyone into his eyes without any trace, and saluted Li Zhi.

"Zhao Qing, do you know why I called you?"

"It's about the adults?"

"Smart." Li Zhi nodded, "Just now, I was discussing his favoritism and fraud with a few adults. Regarding this matter, what does Zhao Qing think? After all, you judge people."

Zhao Wujiang glanced at several officials related to the imperial examination.

The Minister of Rites shook his head indiscriminately, signaling him not to say more.

Doctor Yushi caressed his beard, but did not look at Zhao Wujiang.

Wang Yifang smiled and shook his head, also signaling him not to draw conclusions lightly.

Zhu Youci, the servant of the official department, dodged his eyes.

Sure enough, Li Zhi already knew all about it yesterday... Zhao Wujiang pretended to be troubled, pondered for a while, and then said:

"Following the emperor's will, the humble minister has full power over the imperial examinations and supervises the officials and students of the imperial examinations.

Nowadays, there are students cheating, and the humble officials will naturally have to interrogate them. The student Chen De said that the adults are behind the scenes.

Naturally, the Weichen would not listen to his one-sided words, and wanted to have another trial, but he was silenced by the thieves. "

Zhao Wujiang mulled over his words, and slightly turned his language to Zhu Suiliang's favorable side.

The Minister of Rites quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the doctor Yu Shi looked over with a slightly surprised expression.

"You deal with it impartially and impartially."

Li Zhi nodded, showing no emotion, he threw a memorial in front of Zhao Wujiang.

"I don't believe that the adults will cheat for personal gain, but last night, two more candidates revealed that it was Zhu Suiliang who was doing favoritism behind his back!"

Zhao Wujiang opened the memorial, his expression changed slightly.

It is recorded in the memorial that last night the three examinees wept in prison, grabbed the ground with their heads, and swore that it was Zhu Suiliang's selfishness.

This evidence is too hasty, isn't it? Zhao Wujiang looked at the crowd with different expressions.

"The humble minister is guilty, and did not interrogate such "important information" in time. I hope the emperor will calm down."

"You, you, really, look just like Li Ji, he is cunning, you are clever." Li Zhi scolded with a smile, asked several times, but did not get Zhao Wujiang's opinion.

"I have said before that the foundation of the imperial examination is to select talents. No one should disturb the integrity of the imperial examination. I probably know it in my heart. You all retreat and wait for the court!"

Li Zhi waved his hand, and the imperial examination officials all retreated one after another except Zhao Wujiang.

After waiting for the people to leave, Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair and asked in a deep voice:
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Doctor Yushi are from Changsun Wuji's side, I already knew this.

They can be forgiven for not expressing their views.

But how about you, Zhao Aiqing, you belong to me, so why? "

Zhao Wujiang said in a loud voice: "Sacred Grace is mighty, and during the Yonghui period, the rule of Qingming followed the former Emperor Zhenguan.

Weichen is fortunate to be an official under the emperor, and Weichen always believes that no good person will be wronged, and no bad person will be spared.

But there is not enough evidence for this.”

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes flickered, and he admired Zhao Wujiang even more. He solemnly said:
"Since entering the palace, Zhao Aiqing has won my heart and knows my heart.

I am always grateful for the late emperor, and want to complete the unfinished business of the late emperor.

However, there are so many talents in the world, there are very few who can be used by me.

People like Zhao Aiqing are even rarer.

Zhao Aiqing, would you like to help me with one thing? "

"Your Majesty, just give orders, if a humble minister frowns, he is not considered a man!" Zhao Wujiang said.

"You, you are a bit cunning, you are not a man in the first place, are you rejecting me in advance?"

Li Zhi scolded with a smile.

Just now you said I was clever, but now I am cunning Zhao Wujiang slandered, saying: "I don't dare."

Li Zhi was very solemn, and said: "From now on, you will be responsible for me, recruiting heroes from all over the world, and selecting all capable officials for the country and the people!"

Ok?
The system gave me a task to call forces.

You also give?
Then I will not hesitate to use it for public account.

Zhao Wujiang replied: "This minister has received the decree, and I will definitely live up to the divine grace, and I will resign."

"Are you leaving now?" Li Zhi said in a low voice, gesturing to him with his eyes, "Where's the medicine?"

Zhao Wujiang came to his senses, took out the medicine bottle from the medicine box, handed it to Li Zhi, and said: "I will take my leave."

"Are you in a hurry? Zhao Aiqing."

"It's not in a hurry, it's just that I didn't wake up."

".roll!"

"okay."

Zhaoyi Palace, Wu Meiniang's bedroom.

Qing'er rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Mother, why did you wake up so early today? Huh? What are you cooking? It smells so good?"

"Lotus seed soup."

"Ah? Lotus seed soup, wow, ma'am, did you make it for me?"

"Go on to sleep, Qing'er."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I want to get up and drink lotus seed soup." Qing'er hummed.

Wu Meiniang: "Lotus seeds are bitter."

Qing'er pursed her lips and said, "I can see that you have added sugar, my lady. Hmph, my lady, you boiled it for Mr. Zhao, I can see it."

Wu Meiniang's exquisite and beautiful face flushed immediately, and said: "Nonsense, where did you see that?"

"Because you won't give me a drink, ma'am." Qing'er vowed.

Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly, boiled the lotus seed soup, and said: "If I don't give it to you, a greedy cat, it's for Mr. Zhao?"

Qing'er rolled around on the bed, coquettishly said: "Yes, I can see it, hmph."

Wu Meiniang supported her forehead, smiled helplessly: "When Mr. Zhao comes, Qing'er will also drink together, it's alright."

Hearing this, Qing'er had a victorious smile on her pretty face, and hurriedly dressed and got up.

She finished washing in a hurry, and rushed out the door in a green dress.

"Qing'er, where are you going?" Wu Meiniang's doubtful voice came from behind.

"I'll call Master Zhao."
