Chapter 91 Mission
Chengtian drums sounded, and all the officials were exhausted.

An official, Zhao Wujiang, rode his horse across the majestic palace wall.

The Dragon Hall is open and bright, Li Zhi is seated on the dragon chair, and the court discusses the affairs of the officials.

All the ministries reported the latest situation, major and minor matters, and the world's affairs, the voices reached Li Zhi's ears, and he looked a little impatient. After working hard all night at the Helan family, he looked a little tired at this moment.

"Master of Dali Temple! What is the result I want?" Li Zhi frowned and shouted.

Dali Temple Minister Hou Shanye's heart tightened, he hurried out, knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head.

"My Majesty, after many investigations and investigations by old ministers, Zhu Suiliang and my lords." He swallowed hard, glanced at the gloomy eldest grandson Wuji involuntarily, and tremblingly said:
"My lords are indeed playing favoritism and cheating in the imperial examination!"

"Hou Shanye!" Changsun Wuji was furious when he heard the words, he stood out of the queue with a roar, looked at Li Zhi, and said:

"Your Majesty, Hou Shanye, the minister of Dali Temple, deliberately framed Zhu Suiliang, a high official in the court. The wolf's ambition can be punished, and the old minister suggests"

Are you the emperor or me?With a cold face, Li Zhi interrupted Changsun Wuji's words, and said solemnly: "Okay! Hou Qing, I ordered you to continue."

Hou Shanye took out the memorial from his inner sleeve, which contained the so-called evidence, and he submitted it respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this... is the evidence that the old minister and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment investigated together."

Li Zhi spread out the memorial, looked at it carefully, his expression became more and more cold, Zhu Suiliang, Zhu Suiliang, you persuaded me to abolish the empress, I thought you were thinking about the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect you to be such a generation of obedience and indifference
He threw the memorial at the minister of Dali Temple who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "Where is Zhu Suiliang? He is engaging in malpractice for personal gain, and you all have the evidence, why don't you go and interrogate him!"

"My lords are Xiangguo, the old ministers dare not, let alone the lords have recently reported to the sick family," Dali Siqing said tremblingly.

"He knew that the matter would be exposed, and he was afraid of his crime, so he didn't dare to face me!" Li Zhi glanced at the silent courtiers, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, any official who cheats in the imperial examination for personal gain will be punished!"

"Your Majesty! Zhu Suiliang has worked so hard, and he is a minister appointed by the late emperor, so he won't die for cheating in the imperial examinations!" Zhongshu ordered Laiji to come out immediately, excitedly.

Zhu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji were in the same faction, and he was a member of the faction, how could he watch the emperor kill Zhu Suiliang.

Zhongshuling Laiji, as one of the prime ministers, couldn't just watch Zhu Suiliang fall from the horse like this.

"Your Majesty, the evidence of the matter is not yet certain, so don't make any accusations!" Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice, he was a little anxious, Zhu Suiliang couldn't break it.

"Your Majesty, this veteran also thinks so." Prime Minister Han Yuan stood up again.

The Book of the Ministry of Rites had always been grateful to Zhu Suiliang, and now seeing this situation, he also stood up and defended Zhu Suiliang.

Slowly, more and more courtiers stood up and interceded for Zhu Suiliang.

Zhao Wujiang covered his sleeves with both hands, and looked at this scene indifferently. He caught a glimpse of the memorial presented by Dali Siqing just now on Li Zhi's desk.

Unless Li Yifu is from Zhu Suiliang, this so-called evidence is probably false. He thought to himself, his eyes wandered, and he caught a glimpse of Li Yifu who was smiling.

Seeing a group of ministers pleading for Zhu Suiliang, Li Zhi's eyes changed, he sighed, and said in a low voice:
"My dear friends, why didn't I trust you at first? But now I am heartbroken, and facing the solid evidence, what should I do?

Forget it, after all, he has made meritorious deeds in the Tang Dynasty. Although his merits and demerits are not offset, I will not punish him because of the love of my assistant.
But capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are hard to forgive. From now on, I will demote Zhu Suiliang, deprive him of the position of Prime Minister, and enter Tanzhou as the governor. If Tanzhou's political achievements do not improve a day, he will stay there for a day."

Li Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly.

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Li Zhi would be determined to kill Zhu Suiliang, and now although Zhu Suiliang was demoted to the remote governor of Tanzhou, as long as he is still alive, he can make it work and let him return to Chang'an.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji looked sideways at Dali Siqing who was kneeling on the ground, with killing intent in his eyes.

"Hou Qing, what about the assassination of court officials at the wedding banquet?" Li Zhi said in a low voice, weakly.

Dali Temple Minister Hou Shanye buried his head, "The incompetence of the old minister has not yet been able to find out everything, but it has been found out. The murderer who assassinated Secretary Zhao, the young supervisor that day, has nothing to do with Mr. Li, the Zhongshu Sheren."

The good one has nothing to do with it. Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes collided with the smiling Li Yifu. Li Yifu cupped his hands at Zhao Wujiang from the air, but his eyes were cold.

"I know you are very tired due to many business affairs today, so I will allow you a little more time." Li Zhi had a benevolent face, he suddenly thought of something, and said again:

"Secretary Shaojian and Zhongshusheren have been working hard for the country and the people in recent days. Li Yifu's official to Zhongshu's servant, and Zhao Wujiang are envoys, and they will be sealed together!"

The Minister of Zhongshu is the fourth rank.Li Yifu went directly from Zhongshu Sheren, who was originally on the fifth rank, to the fourth rank.

The officials around Li Yifu congratulated one after another, while Li Yifu had a warm smile on his face and cupped his hands in return one by one.

At the same time, more officials looked at Zhao Wujiang, the handsome and handsome Master Zhao.

Now he is in charge of the affairs related to the mission, the emperor said that he will be sealed afterwards, but Zhao Wujiang is now the secretary and junior prisoner from the fourth rank, and the second in command of the secretary province, if he is promoted again, it will not be the official to the secretary prison.
All the courtiers were horrified. If it was true that Zhao Wujiang became a secretary and supervisor as they had speculated, then the factions in the current court would immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

What is the identity of the secretary supervisor? Thinking back when Wei Zheng was an official secretary secretary, he was very powerful and had countless disciples. Now his disciples have grown up. If Zhao Wujiang became the secretary supervisor, how could these old disciples of Wei Zheng not sell some face? ?

At that time, Zhao Wujiang himself can form a big faction capable of wrestling with Changsun Wuji.

The courtiers' discussions became more and more intense, Zhu Suiliang was demoted, Li Yifu was promoted, and Zhao Wujiang's future can be expected. Now the official position in the court has changed greatly, and the position of prime minister is vacant, and the future is bound to continue.
"Silence!"

The chief eunuch in front of the hall held a whip in his hand and beat the air hard, making a crackling sound.

The discussion gradually died down.

Li Zhi swept across the officials and called out Honglu Siqing and Zhao Wujiang.

"Now that the candidates for the Western Turkic Mission have been decided, do you know about it?"

Most of the officials of the six ministries knew about it, because the list was also posted on the south wall of the Ministry of Rites, but most of the other officials did not know it.

"Wei Wei Tang, Wuhua Tianbao, all nations came to the court, and the Western Turks sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to seek advice. In order to show the friendship of the country, the emperor authorized the selection of talents. Now the list of the three competitions of civil, military and medical is as follows.

Text: Zhang Weimin, a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, played against the Western Turkic Ashina Greeting Card.

Wu: Great Tang Su Zhan, against the Western Turkic Ashina Li.

Physician: Chen Mingjing of the Tang Dynasty, against Ashina Li of the Western Turks.

From noon to unitary, the six ministries of Shangshu Province battled against each other. "

Zhao Wujiang spoke loudly and slowly.

The officials were in an uproar. Although they knew that their own children had little hope, many of them sighed in disappointment.

However, they did not have much objection to the quota.

Zhang Weimin, the champion of the new division, is now Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites. He has outstanding talent and talent, and it is understandable that he will represent Datang in the battle.

As for Su Zhan, only a few people knew about it, and the rest just thought it was familiar, and those who knew Su Zhan also nodded their heads.

Su Zhan is the grandson of Su Dingfang. He is a man with good talent in martial arts, and he is able to bear hardships and stand hard work. He has studied martial arts and art of war since he was a child.

However, few courtiers had heard of Chen Mingjing, who was a medical practitioner.

As for Changsun Wuji's original gloomy face, after hearing Chen Mingjing's name, he looked quite surprised. He looked at Zhao Wujiang, and was surprised that Zhao Wujiang would actually pass this person recommended by him.

He couldn't help giving Zhao Wujiang a high look.

"Zhao Wujiang is in full charge of the mission. For the rest, dear friends, do you have anything else to say?" Li Zhi's expression darkened.

Seeing this, the ministers stopped speaking out, and withdrew from the court.

Zhao Wujiang looked at Li Zhi's seemingly invisible blackness between his brows, thought in his heart, and called out to the system.

【Ding!System detection: Li Zhi's current luck value: 1? ? ? ?
Remarks: Although not visible, luck has declined. 】

Sure enough, Li Zhi was obsessed with Helan's nephrite jade, and he didn't seem to care so much about the government, and his luck declined. Zhao Wujiang's eyes shone brightly.

The strong wind blows outside the hall, cold comes to the sleeves, Zhao Wujiang wraps his hands around his sleeves, looks at Li Yifu not far away who is surrounded by some courtiers to congratulate him, and looks at the tall and upright Changsun Wuji who is full of worries, he murmurs softly:
"Datang, the wind is coming"
