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

Chapter 73 The increasingly tired Li Zhi

Zhao Wujiang wore a black shirt like black ink, with silver-rimmed cloud patterns on the cuffs, and a purple cloak.

When he came to the Dragon Palace, a group of ministers were discussing with each other.

Seeing Zhao Wujiang's arrival, many officials looked sideways. Now that Zhao Wujiang is a popular courtier, they all stepped forward to salute and flatter him.

Zhao Wujiang looked gentle and returned the greetings one by one.

This time, there were several new officials, such as the Jinshi of Xinke, some of whom were given official positions, and Zhang Weimin, the champion of Xinke, was directly assigned to the Ministry of Rites, one of the six ministries.

Wang Yifang was also wearing court clothes and holding a court card. He looked elegant and calm.

"Master Zhao!" Zhang Weimin stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Zhao Wujiang nodded with a smile, and led Zhang Weimin to Wang Yifang.

"This is the elder brother of the teacher. The sentence "Our generation of scholars should do great things" is bestowed on you by him as a teacher."

"I've seen Mr. Wang!"

Zhang Weimin clasped his fists together, he didn't expect Zhao Wujiang's elder brother to be the righteous Wang Yifang who hates evil like a vengeful.

People were divided into groups, and he secretly rejoiced that his decision was right, Master Zhao was indeed a noble person.

While the three were laughing and chatting with each other, Tai Fu Lin Tianbao not far away stared at them with a playful and cold look.

Openly forming a party, let's see how I can join you. The Tai Tuo stroked his beard with a proud expression.

Zhao Wujiang followed the induction and looked sideways, and saw a middle-aged man in purple clothes with a big belly, with a playful look on his face, smiling at the corner of his mouth and staring at him coldly.

"who are you?"

"Hmph... I'm Xia Lin Tianbao, I'm the imperial concubine..."

"I've never heard of it, don't keep looking at me."

"Uh……"

Lin Tianbao blushed, thinking how to refute, at this moment.

"Everyone enters the palace!"

With the sound of the announcement, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty entered the Dragon Palace one after another.

Afterwards, various departments routinely reported on the recent situation. Li Zhi's eyes were surrounded by black shadows, and he looked a little tired. Hearing the repetitive and boring reports, he couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Zhao Wujiang glanced at Li Zhi, with an overindulgent appearance, but he didn't dare to touch the Queen and Wu Meiniang, could it be that they were all at He Lan's place?

The several prime ministers closed their eyes and meditated, without any remonstrance.

Zhao Wujiang found out that Zhu Suiliang hadn't appeared in two early courts, and heard from Wang Yifang beside him that Zhu Suiliang had been reporting the case of fraud in the imperial examination to the patient's family.

"Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?" Li Zhi shouted.

"The old minister is here!"

The Minister of Dali Temple stood out of the queue with a bitter face. He saw that the emperor was not in a good condition, and thought that he could escape today, but he didn't expect the emperor to call him again.

Li Zhi looked impatient: "Is there any progress?"

He was asking about Zhu Suiliang's fraudulent imperial examination case, and the assassination case of Zhao Wujiang and Li Yifu after the wedding banquet.

The minister of Dali Temple lowered his head and said tremblingly: "The old minister has made inquiries recently, and all the clues point to the lords, playing favoritism and cheating."

"Humph!"

Sun Wuji, Taiwei's eldest son, grimaced and snorted angrily.

Hearing the cold snort of Changsun Wuji, the head of the prime minister, Dali Temple Minister buried his head deeper, and continued: "But the old minister is still investigating, and there is still no conclusion yet."

Am I the emperor or are you the emperor?Li Zhi took the situation just now into his eyes, and cast a sideways glance at Changsun Wuji, feeling dissatisfied in his heart.

The eldest grandson is powerful now, and he is also the elder of the court. His own uncle, Li Zhi couldn't get angry at the eldest grandson Wuji in front of all his courtiers.

He grabbed the memorial on the table, threw it at Dali Temple Secretary, and snorted coldly: "After searching for so long, you can't figure it out, and you still share your worries for me. What are you worrying about for me? Huh?"

Dali Siqing didn't dare to look up, he was extremely bitter, although he was also a high-ranking official, but this matter involved the prime minister, how should he handle it?
If it can't be found out, it will offend the emperor, but if it is found out, it will offend a group of prime ministers.

The old minister was bitter, but the old minister couldn't say anything. Dali Siqing was depressed. He glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who hid himself in the crowd without any trace. He was even more depressed. They were all investigating the case together. The sixth department of the province is holding it, and the interrogation is in your criminal department. Why are you doing nothing? The emperor brought me up every time to scold you.

Li Zhi looked down at the officials, since Changsun Wuji sneered coldly, most of the courtiers chose to keep quiet, obviously out of fear of Changsun Wuji's power.

He rubbed between his brows, glanced at Zhao Wujiang and Wang Yifang who looked calm, and then caught a glimpse of the new champion Zhang Weimin standing with them, feeling a little comforted in his heart.

Fortunately, I still have courtiers like Zhao Wujiang.

"I will give you another seven days, if there is no result, then you Dali Temple Minister will be the result!"

Li Zhi had a majestic face, his eyes searched, and he said in a deep voice: "You and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will share rewards and punishments!"

Shangshu Xingbu was a short little old man, he walked out from the crowd with a grim face, and knelt down on the ground.

Fuck, where did this old man come from...Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice squeezed out from the crowd, he didn't notice anything just now.

"Old minister obeys!"

The ministers of the Ministry of Justice of Dali Temple said in unison.

"Okay, dear friends, do you have something important to report? If there is nothing else, then retreat." Li Zhi waved his hand, feeling a little tired. He needed to go to the palace of Helan's family, the wife of the state of Wei, to have a good rest with Helan's family few times.

Hearing this, Taifu Lin Tianbao asked his grandson Wuji with his eyes and asked to play.

Changsun Wuji nodded his head with a dignified expression.

"Report to the emperor, the old minister has something important to report!"

Taifu Lin Tianbao came out, holding the court card, bowed and said.

"Ok?"

Li Zhi looked at Taifu Lin Tianbao who stood out of the queue, and his face sank.

Taifu Lin Tianbao is the teacher of Prince Li Zhong, and Prince Li Zhong was personally supported by Changsun Wuji and other ministers.

Just like when he assisted me in establishing me as the crown prince. Li Zhi's eyes flickered coldly, his eldest grandson Wuji had great schemes, and since I was still in power and physically strong, he wanted to support the new crown prince.

Changsun Wuji wanted to be the patriarch of many dynasties and truly have power over the world. After supporting the crown prince Li Zhong, this thought was clearly revealed.

Li Zhi said impatiently, "What is Qing Lin's business?"

The Taifu knelt down on the ground, and said word by word: "The old minister wants to sue the secretary, the young supervisor, Zhao Wujiang, for disregarding the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, and blatantly forming a party for personal gain!"

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this.

Forming a party for personal gain?

Didn't you, Lin Tianbao, form a party with Changsun Wuji and the others?
It is a normal thing for the DPRK and China to form a party. Few people bring it up and say it on the stage. I didn't expect that Lin Tianbao would mention it in front of Li Zhi.

All the courtiers slandered in their hearts, but when they saw the eldest grandson Wuji with his hands wrapped around his sleeves and the presence of the old god, he instantly understood why.

Changsun Wuji wants to suppress Zhao Wujiang!

Secretary Zhao Wujiang is a popular courtier and was appointed by the emperor as the head of the invigilators during the imperial examinations. Obviously, the emperor is behind it.

And Changsun Wuji has maintained the power of the court for many years, fought against the emperor, and even suppressed the emperor in many matters. Now seeing Zhao Wujiang, the minister appointed by the emperor, has a rising trend, he has the heart to suppress him.

The courtiers were thinking in their hearts, and they became more and more frightened, and dared not speak out.

Zhao Wujiang glanced at the Grand Tutor, and then at Changsun Wuji, already wanting to understand the reason.

Minister of Rites had kindly reminded this before, but Zhao Wujiang didn't take it to heart.

Now the Taifu instructed him to personally end, and sued him for forming a party for personal gain... Well, he still didn't take it to heart.

I didn't form a party for selfishness openly, but formed a party for selfishness according to the order. Zhao Wujiang had his hands wrapped around his sleeves, and his face didn't change at all.

Hearing this, Li Zhi's anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Changsun Wuji's cold snort to suppress the courtiers just now made him extremely dissatisfied, but now there is another Tai Fu Lin Tianbao who is trying to suppress him
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Li Zhi's voice was cold and his face was like frost.

"The old minister has it!"
