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

Chapter 232 Bitter Meat Schemes and Suspicion
"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

Xu Jingzong grabbed the ground with his head, his hair was disheveled, and he shouted that he was guilty.

"As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the old minister is in charge of many etiquettes in the court, and even in charge of this great funeral, but the veteran's ineffectiveness in handling affairs caused the damage to Zhaoling Mausoleum.

Now that the New Deal is being celebrated, everything is waiting to be done, so I ask the empress to dismiss the old ministers as a warning to others! "

His old face touched the ground, his fingers bent and trembled, and his figure was like catkins in the wind. The sorrow of a strong man in his old age appeared on him, making the viewer feel unbearable.

The ministers started to discuss, Wu Meiniang frowned.

Without waiting for Wu Meiniang to speak, Dali Temple Minister Hou Shanye fell to his knees:
"No, ma'am. How can Master Xu be blamed for the Zhaoling incident?
Two great masters fight each other, who can stop them?

Master Zhao was there at that time, not even Master Zhao."

He just wanted to say that even Zhao Wujiang couldn't stop him, so why should he punish Xu Jingzong, but when he rolled his eyes, the topic of the conversation changed quietly:

"Even Master Zhao, who is as wise and powerful as an important official of the country, can't stop it. Who else can stop the destruction of the Zhaoling Mausoleum in the entire court?

If Master Xu was punished for this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the courtiers?
Now is the time when everything is waiting to be done, Master Xu, as a senior official in the court, if he is dismissed, the Ministry of Rites will make a mess. "

Hearing this, the ministers were clamoring, and the destruction of Zhaoling was actually involving a great master, so how could Xu Jingzong stop it?Even Mr. Zhao can't do anything, so it won't work for anyone else, how can Xu Jingzong be blamed?
I asked you to pull Zhao Wujiang down, not to praise him all the time, did you take the wrong medicine and good karma?Xu Jingzong's cheeks twitched, and then he said sadly:

"No! The old minister can stop it!
The old minister was originally a commoner in the countryside, and he entered the court as an official after being appreciated by the late emperor. He was always grateful and wanted to serve the Tang Dynasty!
Veteran should not be afraid of death in the face of those great masters, so as not to be in vain of my Tang man's integrity, so as not to disappoint the trust and kindness of the late emperor.

But before the old minister had time to die for the country, the Zhaoling Mausoleum was destroyed, the old minister was guilty, the old minister was guilty. "

"boom."

"boom."

"."

Xu Jingzong burst into tears and kept kowtowing, which made many courtiers lament.

Zhao Wujiang covered his sleeves with both hands, his expression was calm.

What a bitter plan, first bowed his head and confessed his guilt, and then tied his situation with all the officials with Hou Shanye, and even dragged me into the water, telling everyone that not only Xu Jingzong failed to do it, but even I failed to do it, so he will be punished , is also punished together.

Now he points out that he is a minister of the elders to increase his bargaining chips, and he directly points out the worst choice in his words, which is to let Wu Meiniang dismiss him from his post, instead of letting Wu Meiniang punish him at will and leave him Enough back road.

With a sad face, Hou Shanye said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, if you want to be punished, my humble minister Hou Shanye is willing to be punished together with Master Xu."

"So does Weichen."

"The minister is too."

"My minister agrees."

"."

Many officials in the province followed and knelt down, and all the members of the Ministry of Rites also knelt down, willing to be punished together with Xu Jingzong.

Does the law not blame the public?Zhao Wujiang smiled, and looked at Wu Meiniang, his eyes beckoning.

Wu Meiniang agreed, and the two had a tacit understanding.

"No, colleagues, my official, Xu Jingzong, does everything by himself. As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has the full power of the funeral. Now he has made mistakes and should be punished!" Xu Jingzong grabbed the ground with his head:

"Please, my lady, punish me."

"Who is not responsible for all the officials who enter Zhaoling?" Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, shouted indignantly.

There was a lot of noise among the officials, and some people talked and agreed.

"Okay." Wu Meiniang said in a deep voice, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked down at the ministers:

"The Zhaoling matter cannot be resisted by simple human resources, and it cannot be entirely blamed on Xu Aiqing."

Xu Jingzong was full of smiles in his heart, his bitter plan worked, he prostrated himself on the ground, weeping loudly, and just about to shout out that his empress is wise, Wu Meiniang continued:
"But whether it's my palace or the emperor, I want the country to be peaceful, the people safe, the officials to be clean, the people of the Tang Dynasty to be safe and healthy, and the sages of the Tang Dynasty to be comforted in the sky.

Now the matter of Zhaoling is the great funeral of the country. It is related to the state system, and it is even more related to the late emperor and many important ministers of the country.

No matter how unbearable this palace is, I still have to bear the pain to punish, to uphold the strict laws of the Tang Dynasty, and to respect the spirits of the sages! "

Xu Jingzong's heart skipped a beat.

"Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is dismissed and cultivated." Wu Meiniang expressed regret.

Just as Hou Shanye and the others were about to say something, Wu Meiniang said again in a deep voice, "Secretary supervisor Zhao Wujiang, the supervision is not good, and he needs to be dismissed!"

All the officials exclaimed, their eyes widened, Wu Meiniang dealt with it impartially, and the image of impartiality and selflessness became more and more deeply rooted in their hearts.

"Remove Xu Jingzong from the post of Minister of Rites, and at the same time remove Zhao Wujiang from the post of secretary and supervisor!" Wu Meiniang made a decision with a dignified look on her face.

"My humble minister, Zhao Wujiang, takes the decree!" Zhao Wujiang stood up to Yue, and took the lead to receive the punishment.

The ministers were in an uproar, Master Zhao didn't stand up for himself?It's obviously not his responsibility, but he is willing to be punished together for the justice of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and for the sake of not chilling the hearts of many colleagues. Mr. Zhao's heart is respectable.

Xu Jingzong trembled, he gritted his teeth, felt the admiration of the surrounding officials looking at Zhao Wujiang, he wished he could raise his head to the sky and howl.

You, Zhao Wujiang, are the secretary and secretary, and you were dismissed as a secretary. You are still a second-rank senior official. He took a long breath, but he couldn't help showing a grateful expression on his face, and shouted:
"Thank you, my lord, my lord, for your kindness and virtue!"

All the officials followed suit.

"Get up, dear ones." Wu Meiniang regretted that she was still there, with a slightly tired look on her face, and she was about to leave the court.

Xu Jingzong knelt for a long time, and when he got up, his eyes turned black for a while, it was nothing, the dizziness in his heart was hard to get rid of.

He originally thought that once he made a bitter plan, he would be able to control Empress Wu and drag Zhao Wujiang into the water, and Empress Wu would not punish the two high officials at the same time, but he didn't expect this to be the result, and he was actually dismissed.

Hou Shanye supported Xu Jingzong, with smiles in his eyes, he whispered in his ear: "Brother Xu has a good plan, he severely cut Zhao Wujiang's authority and arrogance, I admire you."

What the hell. Xu Jingzong's breathing is short of breath, he has troubles to describe, and feels blocked in his heart.

After the dynasty was over, all the officials on the palace road did not leave, but stared at Zhao Wujiang who was carrying the medicine box with fiery eyes.

Zhao Wujiang hadn't carried the medicine box on his back for a long time, but now he was carrying the medicine box, and with his butt, he knew that it contained the longevity pill for them, and they surrounded Zhao Wujiang one after another.

Xu Jingzong walked slowly, being supported by Hou Shanye, his eyes were full of depression, now that he has been dismissed from his post for self-cultivation, his grasp of the affairs of the court will decline, and he can only rely on Hou Shanye and others.

"Shanye." He looked emotional, and just about to say a few words to Hou Shanye, the minister of Dali Temple, a few figures passed by beside him.

The veterans ran quickly, looking like young lads, completely gone from their usual senility:
"Go quickly, Mr. Zhao is distributing longevity pills."

"What?" Hou Shanye exclaimed, and he also sent his aides and dead soldiers to various places, which logically also had longevity pills. At this moment, his expression was agitated, and he didn't hear Xu Jingzong's instructions to him at all.

"Shanye, are you listening to me?" Xu Jingzong patted Hou Shanye's big hand.

The next moment, his palm was empty, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Master Lin, Master Zhu, wait for me." Hou Shanye ran towards the crowd, completely forgetting that he was supporting Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong struggled to get up, stared blankly at Hou Shanye's figure squeezing towards the crowd, opened his mouth, and tens of thousands of robes rushed in his heart.
