Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 109 Someone Behind
After drinking the tripe soup, Sheng Shaoqing suddenly remembered that Imperial Physician Li's name was somewhat familiar, and asked casually, "Is this soup prescribed by Imperial Physician Li? Are you talking about that Imperial Physician Li who treated Shen Gui?"

Cui Yun nodded and said, "Princess said that Shen Gui was poisoned by Helian Qi, but only Imperial Physician Li could cure it, so it can be seen that this person has some skills, so I asked him to prescribe these nourishing prescriptions for the Queen Mother .”

"He was also the one who came back to treat Zhang Qing?"

"Yes."

Sheng Shaoqing didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and lost his appetite after taking another mouthful of cabbage, and felt sleepy after eating and drinking, so he went to find the Zhougong meeting wholeheartedly.

Before dawn on the second day, Sheng Shaoqing opened his eyes suddenly, rubbed his sore neck, and pressed his sore waist, seeing that it was not yet time to go to court, and the maid who was guarding the night was still leaning against her. Dozing off on the side of the couch, Sheng Shaoqing lightly lifted the warm blanket, rolled over and got off the couch.

Sheng Shaoqing tried her best to imitate Cui Yun's changing clothes for her, and then she put on the three inner and outer layers of dress neatly, and took off the cloak from the shelf and put it on her body, only then did Sheng Shaoqing dare to go out the door.

Pushing open the door, the shadows of stars can still be seen faintly in the distance, the calm lake in the courtyard is glowing faintly, and the plum blossoms that have not been transplanted for a long time by the lake have just shown signs of budding, and there are occasional whispers in the ears. A few crickets chirped, and just as Sheng Shaoqing was about to lift his legs to go out, he was called out by a hasty "Queen Mother!" and was stunned on the spot.

"How did you wake up, Queen Mother?!"

"Chun Xi too! Why didn't you come to tell me when you woke up!"

"My maidservant, go and call Mistress Cui now!"

The silence of a moment ago was gone, and the Palace of Eternal Light began a new day of noise ahead of schedule.

Sheng Shaoqing's waking up was like throwing a stone into the calm lake. From the inner hall, to the east wing, west wing, outer courtyard, and small kitchen, the signal was slowly transmitted, and the people who received the signal also There was activity in an instant, until the entire Eternal Light Hall was brightly lit.

Not long after, Cui Yun appeared in front of Sheng Shaoqing.

And the night watch maid named Chunxi also knelt behind her and waited to be punished.

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's helpless expression and the slightly messy outfit on her body, Cui Yun suddenly understood what was going on, and asked Chunxi to step back to receive her punishment, so she asked Sheng Shaoqing to go back and change her clothes again.

"Don't blame her, I didn't make any noise on purpose."

When Chunxi heard the words, suddenly there was light in her dead eyes, and she repeatedly kowtowed to thank her.

Sheng Shaoqing followed Cui Yun step by step and went back to the inner room. As soon as Cui Yun entered the door, he couldn't help laughing and said with a "puchi", "The empress dowager is really wearing this dress."

"Unique."

After Cui Yun laughed and saw that the Empress Dowager's expression was wrong, she was afraid that she might have annoyed the Empress Dowager, so she turned her voice back and said, "The Empress Dowager is usually busy with government affairs, so she can't take care of these trivial matters. It's normal for her to be unfamiliar with each other for a long time. The Empress Dowager doesn't have to be annoyed."

"You", Sheng Shaoqing sighed, "Don't give me a high hat."

Don't you know if she's busy or not?

But the clothes on the third and outer layers here are really difficult to wear, and there are so many straps, she doesn't know which one goes with which one, so she can only make do with her memory and her own groping. The look of a dress.

Seeing Cui Yun struggling to untie the belts she was wearing, and fastening those belts that seemed to be a mess in front of her eyes with familiarity, Sheng Shaoqing cried silently in her heart: "There is a specialization in surgery, and she admits that she can't do it."

"I didn't want to disturb you to rest and enjoy the scenery by myself, but Lianqiao found out."

Cui Yun comforted Sheng Shaoqing and said, "There is still half an hour before the court, and we should start at this hour on weekdays. However, the sky is still dark. I don't know if the queen mother wants to enjoy the scenery. What kind of scenery do you want to enjoy?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook her head, she didn't know what she wanted to appreciate, maybe she wanted to see how this sky was different from the previous sky?
"The minister has a suggestion. If today's court meeting ends early, go to the Danfeng Tower in the palace city before dawn, so that the queen mother can enjoy the sunrise."

Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help laughing, "What's so interesting about sunrise?"

Every day after the court, when I brought Yuan Che back to the inner court from the Qinzheng Palace, it was mostly at sunrise. Apart from feeling the sudden light and the gradually rising temperature, how could the sunrise of Miyagi be with her on Mount Tai? See the sunrise compared to?

Cui Yun called for someone to dress up the queen mother while explaining, "Danfeng Tower is located in the east of the imperial city, and the east city of the capital is relatively low-lying, and few people live in the east city, so it can be seen very clearly. The view at sunset is amazing!"

Only now did Sheng Shaoqing become a little interested, thinking that if the court meeting really ended early, he would go to see the sunrise in Miyagi.

It just so happens that she has been here for so long, and most of her life is the same as before, and she has never visited this huge Miyagi.

Just when Sheng Shaoqing was extremely excited and expectantly about to say the routine "I have something to play, nothing to leave the court", a round figure suddenly stood up and shattered her fantasy of getting off work early to enjoy the scenery .

"Empress Dowager, the minister has a book to play!"

"I want to impeach Wailang He Shizhao, a member of the Ministry of Officials, for engaging in fraud, using power for personal gain, and even influencing officials' promotion!"

Sheng Shaoqing felt familiar when he heard the rough voice with a little panting, and after a closer look, it was indeed the Master Hu from Yushitai who was speaking.

If one were to talk about the heroic deeds of Lord Hu, it would be too much to talk about for three days and three nights, as can be seen from the nickname "Hu Yitan" that everyone gave to Lord Hu.

The name Hu Yitan originated from the fact that Mr. Hu has been impeaching.

Since he has always taken the lead in the impeachment of others, he has impeached no less than [-] officials within a month, impeaching them face to face at work, and writing memorials after work, so he accepted this title well-deservedly and with peace of mind, and was complacent and complacent. Self-satisfied, and because everyone called him this nickname, Master Hu's real name became unknown over time, so Sheng Shaoqing only remembered his surname Hu, and his nickname Hu Yitan.

Sheng Shaoqing remembered that the Feng family was on fire a few days ago, and he impeached him for a long time.

Mr. Hu's family is thousands of miles away from Feng's family, but the fire seemed to be burning on his eyebrows. He was very annoyed by this, and kept trying to impeach Feng Quan and Feng Jin crazily. Even if an ant dies, Master Hu will scold him for being unmerciful and not reborn, and his skills are definitely beyond the reach of modern keyboard warriors.

But no matter how many people played by Mr. Hu, and how harsh and harsh the scolding was, he could still sit firmly in the position of censor.

In addition to a strong background, there is another point that the official position of the censor is to persuade the emperor at the top and to supervise the officials below. Breaking off, just so that I can open the microphone wantonly.

If you are in power, can you swear at others casually?
No.

But the censor can, so he would rather not have real power but also firmly choose to be the censor.

Therefore, no matter how upset Sheng Shaoqing was, he could only listen to him finish. There was only one thing, Sheng Shaoqing really wanted to ask him why he didn't come out sooner, instead of waiting until the end and popping out suddenly? !
The defendant He Shizhao suddenly heard that Hu Yitan was going to impeach him, he only felt disdainful after hearing the first half of the sentence, but his face turned green after hearing the second half.

Corruption, accepting bribes and affecting the promotion of officials can be a crime.
"Master Hu! You impeach me, what evidence do you have?"

Hu Yitan shook his chubby body, and said proudly, "Master He, I have three questions now, if you can answer them all, then I have the right to falsely accuse you today!"

He Shizhao frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Fatty Hu had always reported things indiscriminately, which made him Hu Yitan's reputation. When did he have such confidence and confidence? !
"Master He, this year the Ministry of War recruits five people, why is there no Li Lingjiang who is the first in the school?"

"Master He, Li Lingjiang received a supplementary admission notice before next year, why did he lose his official position after the next year?"

"Master He, I heard that a few days ago, your house suddenly had a lot of priceless gifts. I'm afraid you can't afford it with your salary?!"

Hu Yitan's tone became more and more eager, and He Shizhao, who was approaching, broke out in a cold sweat before finishing the calculation.

Master Hu waited for He Shizhao's reply after asking, and proudly glanced at He Shizhao who was kneeling there shaking like a sieve, thinking that no one would be able to shake Hu Yitan's status in the world, maybe Sheng Yushi's "" The title of "Iron-faced Censor" can be worn by another person!

I have to go to Xianyunlou to have a good drink tonight!

He Shizhao knelt there, not knowing what to do, he wanted to tell the truth that he was just doing what he was told, but then he thought that if he said that, he would be betraying Ji Shilang?

But Ji Shilang is not mean to him, not to mention that Ji Shilang and Ji Cheng are both from the Ji family, so who is he to offend?
But, let him bear the blame alone, he doesn't want to bear it, and he can't bear it!

"Queen Mother, I can answer this question on behalf of He Yuanwailang."

To He Shizhao, Ji Lingzhang's words are like the dry land that has been drought for a long time, and the rain is coming. He Shizhao shouted in his heart: "Ji Shilang, save me! Ji Shilang, save me!"

Sheng Shaoqing, who was spying on his mental activities on the high platform, was speechless for a while. Would this upgraded system be so vivid? It really drew a Q version of He Shizhao holding Ji Lingzhang's thigh and crying there.

It's rare for Hu Yitan to be so confident, no matter how weak he was to Ji Shilang in the past, today he wants to challenge Ji Shilang to one or two!
Who let him have evidence in his hand!
"Ji Shilang is eager to protect you. This feeling is really appreciable, but... you answer for him. I'm afraid this move is suspected of covering up?!"

Ji Lingzhang glanced at Hu Yibo, and he was also weighing in his heart whether Mr. Hu had taken the wrong medicine today, why did he explode at a little bit?
"Why don't Master Hu listen to my explanation before making a judgment?"

Hu Yitan shook his head, "I impeached He Shizhao and His Excellency, not you Ji Lingzhang Ji, so why should Ji replace him?!"

Ji Lingzhang was about to speak, but Sheng Shaoqing interrupted him, "Master Hu is right, otherwise let Mr. He explain it himself. Only the person involved knows the inside story."

"The Queen Mother."

Ji Lingzhang glanced at Sheng Shaoqing in embarrassment, thinking that the queen mother has lost his memory, isn't it the queen mother's order not to allow Li Lingjiang to join the military department?

It's just that the Empress Dowager ordered the news not to be spread outside, so they operated in secret, but they didn't expect that this fat man caught the handle and exposed it at the court meeting.

Seeing what the Empress Dowager means, do you intend to admit it?
"However, what I am more concerned about is the third question asked by Mr. Hu. Why don't you explain it to me?"

Ok?
He Shizhao raised his head suddenly, seeing the unpredictable expression of the queen mother and Ji Shilang's indescribable expression, he resolutely chose the former between self-protection and taking the blame for his boss.

"It's Ji Shilang's idea that Mr. Li is not allowed to join the military department. Those things are...so."

Seeing Ji Lingzhang's pale face suddenly, Sheng Shaoqing thought to himself that the story is getting more and more exciting, isn't it much more beautiful than the sunrise?

"you!"

Ji Lingzhang knelt down and said, "I accept the first item!"

"I said that I bribed Mr. He, but I don't admit it!"

Hu Yitan never thought that he would be able to involve Ji Lingzhang by playing He Shizhao. !
He Shizhao said anxiously, "If it wasn't sent by you, my lord, how dare I accept it?"

Ji Lingzhang gritted his teeth and said, "According to the rules and duties, why should I bribe you?!"

"What's more, what evidence do you have to prove that I sent it?!"

He Shizhao choked, and he calmed down before he opened his mouth and said, "Those gift boxes all have Ji's emblem on them, and they were even delivered by your servants in person. If you have no proof, how dare you slander others with nothing?" ?”

After finishing speaking, He Shizhao glanced at Hu Yibo unintentionally, making Hu Yitan's face flush with embarrassment. What is empty-mouthed slander, then it was true in the past, but it is absolutely not this time!
Ji Lingzhang asked in a deep voice, "What's the name of that slave? When did he go to your house? Do you have a letter of worship, and did you bring my handwritten letter?"

He Shizhao:
"I heard the people behind him call him Ji Song. About five days ago, he brought a box of rare and antiques to my house, and said that it was your lord who was sympathetic. After seeing me working hard this year, he gave it to me." These things are used as rewards. He also said that these things are only owned by me, so let me keep quiet."

Ji Lingzhang's tutor made him endure for a long time, but he still couldn't help rolling his eyes at this subordinate whose brain circuit is simpler than Zhidao, "Where did Ji Song come from in my house?!"

"How could I give you rare antiques?!"

He Shizhao was terrified instantly when he heard the words, Ji Shilang wouldn't want to blame everything on himself in order to get rid of the crime, right? ! !

"The empress dowager clearly checked, there is indeed no such person in the minister's mansion!"

Seeing that He Shizhao's expression was wrong, Ji Lingzhang was afraid that he would be distracted, and continued, "I won't give anything to Mr. He, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter!"

Only then did He Shizhao realize that Ji Shilang didn't mean to abandon him, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed suit, "The Queen Mother has learned from you, I'm afraid I've been deceived!"

"I originally thought it was a gift from Mr. Ji, so I didn't dare to accept it, so I accepted it."

"Someone must have framed it!"

Before He Shizhao finished speaking, Hu Yitan said sarcastically, "Master Ji and Mr. He are really good at singing the double reed, and this official is really willing to bow down."

"you!"

"you!!"

Ji Lingzhang and He Shizhao turned their heads and glared at Hu Yipang, and they all wanted to tear this slick but twisted Master Hu in their hearts.

Sheng Shaoqing saw that they were about to quarrel, and she, the instigator, had no choice but to say a few words. Just as she was about to calm down the situation, she suddenly thought that something was wrong. After thinking about it, she asked out He said in a low voice, "Master Hu, you are... how do you know that Mr. He accepts bribes?"

The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, so Sheng Shaoqing imitated Hu Yitan and asked:
"I also have three questions for Mr. Hu."

"Master Hu, this year the Ministry of War has recruited a total of five people. How do you know that there is no Li Lingjiang?"

"Master Hu, how do you know that Li Lingjiang received a supplementary recording notice a few years ago?"

"Master Hu, and how do you know that there are so many things in Mr. He's house? Mr. He accepted the gift without even Mr. Ji telling you, how could he tell you?"

Hu Yitan hadn't recovered from the intimidation in Ji Lingzhang and He Shizhao's eyes when he was stunned on the spot by Sheng Shaoqing's repeated questions about death.

This. How did he know?
This problem should not. Not so important?

Hu Yitan struggled for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Queen Mother! I don't think it's important how I learned about this matter. What's important is to give Master Li an explanation, and let Master He and Ji Shilang give it to you." All the ministers have to explain, otherwise how will the official examinations convince the public in the future?!"

He was willing to cut himself to pieces, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

With all his blood, he dared to make the Queen Mother shut up.

Sheng Shaoqing:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It's been a long time since I saw such a tough subject, the last one who avoided her questions like this was Wei Zhen!
Hey, where is Wei Zhen?
Such a lively scene is another great opportunity to step on the Ji family. How could Wei Zhen not say anything?

Sure enough, when Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Wei Zhen's seat, Wei Zhen silently moved from the corner to the middle seat, then stood up silently and said, "I think what Master Hu said is true."

"I also ask the Queen Mother not to chase after the end."

After Wei Zhen finished speaking, he took a weak look at Sheng Shaoqing, and now he understood why he was short-handed and soft-mouthed, the Queen Mother sent Wei Hefeng back last time regardless of the past, and he recently reciprocated the favor and stopped working with the Queen Mother sing a different tune.

But today's matter, he can no longer swallow his anger, he must let the queen mother understand the pros and cons of it.

Seeing Wei Zhen supporting Hu Yitan, Ji Wenxuan and Xue Wuji also stood up and spoke for Ji Lingzhang.

Sheng Shaoqing ignored them and just smiled and said, "Since Mr. Wei said this is the end, let Mr. Hu talk about it first. It won't delay anything, right?"

Hu Yitan:
Wei Zhen: .
Hu Yitan had no choice but to falter and say, "As a censor, I naturally care about the courtiers' movements. A few days ago, I met Mr. Li in Xianyun Tower, and my words and words were quite friendly with my minister, so I asked more questions. After a few words, I realized that he failed to join the Ministry of War this time but was transferred to Yuzhou, and I investigated it out of curiosity, and only then did I know the inside story."

Just as Ji Lingzhang was about to explain, Sheng Shaoqing continued to ask, "Then what about Mr. He accepting bribes? How did you know?"

"This. This."

"It must be Lord Hu's skillful means, so that he can get a clear picture of what's going on in Lord He's house, right?" Wei Zhen gestured for Hu Yitan to answer after finishing speaking, and Hu Yitan panted heavily after receiving the signal, A whine sounded from his lungs, "It's not a clever way to not be an official. It's just a minister. There are some special channels."

Hu Yitan concealed everything the masked man had said to him, and only used the words "special channels" to cover it up. The empress dowager could understand, as a censor, how could he not have any channels to inquire about things?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a vegetarian meal? !
Otherwise, how can you earn a living in this highly competitive position if you don't have any housekeeping skills? !
"Oh." Sheng Shaoqing sighed, "Then I'm fine."

Ji Lingzhang said loudly, "I have a problem!"

"Empress Dowager, I also have three questions to ask Mr. Hu."

Sheng Shaoqing:
Hu Yitan:
Why come again?

"Master Hu, since you are so convincing that there is an ulterior conspiracy between me and Mr. He, how did you know that Li Lingjiang was the first in the school?"

"First, the evaluation of officials has always been a confidential matter of the official department. There are very few people in the official department who can know the final ranking. As the censor, Mr. Hu is not a member of our official department. How do you know? "

"Second, as far as I know, Mr. Hu doesn't often go to Xianyunlou for a drink. Why did he just meet Mr. Li by chance and hear his heartfelt thoughts?"

"Third, can Mr. Hu's special channel tell Mr. Hu when and what gift I gave?"

Hu Yitan was sweating in anxiety, and the phlegm sound in his lungs became a little heavier. As the censor, he was always the only one who was aggressive, how could he ever be forced to question like this?
After coughing violently for a while, Hu Yitan only uttered one or two words, "You! You!"

Seeing that the direction of the wind was gradually becoming favorable to them, He Shizhao also echoed, "I was suspicious when Mr. Ji sent a generous gift, but it was because the person who came to give the gift asked me to, so I didn't say anything. I wanted to wait. A few days ago, I personally went to the door to return the rich gift, but I didn’t expect to be discovered by Mr. Hu first. Now it seems that there must be some villains who want to sow discord and ruin the official reputation of me and Ji Shilang. You can see the viciousness!"

"you!"

Hu Yitan didn't expect that He Shizhao would become sharp-tongued. Not only did he get rid of his ties, but he also set up a loyal and honest person. On the other hand, he was embarrassed by Ji Lingzhang's three questions. It's unreasonable to get away!

"It's my intention not to let Li Lingjiang join the military department."

Sheng Shaoqing's sudden words reached Hu Yitan's ears, and he felt a thunderbolt flash above the main hall, splitting him to pieces.

He thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that it was the Queen Mother's order.

Did the masked man lie to himself?

He said that Li Lingjiang had excellent political achievements but was victimized by traitors. The talents who were about to join the military department can only go to Yuzhou to eat ashes. As a result, Li Lingjiang was depressed and kept getting drunk in Xianyunlou.

He said that the traitor bought He Shizhao and secretly changed the list of officials in the Ministry of Officials. Even if Li Lingjiang was the first in the middle school entrance examination at the same level, he was not a conspicuous figure in the capital where there were so many dignitaries and dignitaries. Apart from her elder sister being a concubine in the palace, Li's background is really not outstanding.

He said that he had heard for a long time that Mr. Hu dared to speak up for his reputation. If he could speak out for Li Lingjiang and impeach He Shizhao, he would be able to eliminate the great harm for the court, and he would be famous in history and forever!

That's why he had nothing to do and went to Xianyun Tower to find out about the situation with that Li Lingjiang. If he didn't know, he didn't know.

Mr. Li really has a big heart, that villain must be jealous of the virtuous and capable, so he wants to tamper with Mr. Li's promotion and official career.

As the grandson-in-law of Qinghe Palace, Li Lingjiang's life is not as good as that of a censor!
Only then did he feel sympathetic, thinking of helping if he could, he would help Li Lingjiang with a few words of righteousness, so as to shake off the prestige of that villain!
Of course, it's too early to make money without profit, and he is also trying to fulfill his fame for the rest of his life.

But there is one thing to say, this trip, he also found that the environment of Xianyun Building is really good, good food and wine, accompanied by singing and dancing, it makes people linger and forget to return.

But now the queen mother said that she was the one who forbade Li Lingjiang to join the military department? ? ? ?

What about the villain?
"Lord Hu, I have seen Li Lingjiang's resume. He is full of economical talents. He can make the people of Jiangzhou rich in food and clothing in just a few years. Why don't such a person let him benefit the people of one side? It is not suitable for him to go. What about the Ministry of War?"

"Besides, he joined the military department only as a member of the fifth rank as a foreigner, and he was released as a Yuzhou shepherd to follow the third rank. He can make the best use of his talents and be promoted. Why do you complain about him?"

Hu Yitan:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

He...he didn't say that! !

"He...he only said to put it outside. No...he didn't say yes." The small eyes on Hu Yitan's round face suddenly widened, "He lied to me!"

Ji Lingzhang said calmly, "The appointment document of the external official has not yet been approved, so it is normal for him not to know that he is being promoted."

"No!" Hu Yitan said in horror, "No! He."

Hu Yitan was acutely aware that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, and even Wei Zhenwei, who had just spoken for him, shrank aside. If he fought to the end, the charge of sowing discord would probably fall on him. It's better.
"It's not him, who is it?" Sheng Shaoqing asked persuasively.

This time it was Hu Yitan who knelt on the ground shaking like a sieve and said, "A few days ago, a mysterious person told me that there was a traitor in the imperial court who framed Li Lingjiang, and that that person bribed He Shizhao and Mr. He to tamper with the list. That's when I thought about it, and that day I saw that someone sent a generous gift to Mr. He's house, so I said "

He Shizhao was startled. He thought it was a gift from Mr. Ji, so he accepted it. Could it be? !
"These are all aimed at Mr. Ji?!"

Ji Lingzhang also reacted, frowned and said in a low voice, "If it's really aimed at this humble minister"

That was such a big game!
Who would want to use Li Lingjiang's matter to slander himself?

And why do you feel that you can hurt yourself?

Sheng Shaoqing also frowned her beautiful eyebrows, why is it getting more and more incomprehensible to this matter?

The traitor is actually me?
Someone gave He Shizhao an important gift in the name of Ji Lingzhang, and told Hu Yitan that someone was corrupt and bribed, and even appointed by left and right officials to impeach He Shizhao. The boss is himself.

Who will this person be?

Who would complain about such an inconspicuous person like Li Lingjiang?

Is it King Qinghe?

Or Wei Zhen who has always been at odds with the Ji family?

Or even Li Lingjiang himself?

Very likely.

When Hu Yitan realized that he had become a clown, he felt a burst of remorse. Before the queen mother could ask him, he said self-consciously, "The mysterious man kept his face covered when he saw me, so I didn't see what he looked like."

Sheng Shaoqing:
Sheng Shaoqing still wanted to ask for details, but Ji Wenxuan said at the right time, "Queen Mother, this matter is strange, and it involves the examination of officials, so it's better to leave it to Dali Temple for investigation. Master Hu is suspicious."

"Where is Dali Temple Minister?"

Shen Qishi, Minister of Dali Temple, came out in response. Shen Qishi, who had just been watching the excitement, was beating his heart more and more, secretly praying that this matter would not fall on him, but he did not expect that the matter would be pushed away by the prime minister. to his eyes.

"The Queen Mother, the minister is here!"

"Since the prime minister has spoken, then this matter... will be handed over to Dali Temple. I want to see the result before going to Chenliu, do you understand?"

Shen Qishi calculated in his heart that the Empress Dowager would leave at noon the next day, and he would not have much time left.

bah bah bah!
The time left for him to investigate the case is running out!
The sufferer is Li Lingjiang, the grandson-in-law of Qinghe Prince's Mansion, the future Yuzhou Shepherd, the official residence is from the third grade, and he is equal to himself.

The person who filed the complaint is Mr. Hu, the censor, who is the third rank.

The defendants are He Shizhao, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and Ji Lingzhang, a minister of the Ministry of Officials, from the sixth rank and the third rank.

All of them are higher officials than him, and they are all masters who cannot be offended. How can he investigate this case? !

Thinking about resigning, Shen Qishi responded, "I understand, I will give the Queen Mother and you all an explanation!"

What else can I do, this official can resign if he doesn't do it?
Investigating difficult and major cases is his forte, and the investigator is a dignitary, so he is really afraid.

Prime Minister Ji seemed to be able to hear Shen Qishi's inner thoughts, and continued, "Master Shen, this case involves a lot, but you don't have to be timid because of it. If anyone dares to stop you, you just go back to the truth."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Qishi summoned up his courage as if he had taken a reassurance. Since Prime Minister Ji was willing to draw this cake, it was better than nothing, so he regained his composure, and Shen Qishi nodded firmly.

Sheng Shaoqing heard that Ji Wenxuan meant something and didn't know who he was implying, but it seemed that it was time for the morning to end, so he fell silent.

After the meeting, Sheng Shaoqing brought Yuan Che back to the inner court with a heavy heart.

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's hesitation, Yuan Che's mood became depressed. After seeing the two companions, he also put on a bad face and said to Liu Chen, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come today? Why are you still here?"

Liu Chen said respectfully, "As your Majesty's companion, how can you slack off for a day, I have no illness, and no miscellaneous things, how dare you delay school?"

Yuan Che pushed Liu Chen angrily and said, "Why are you talking more than Taifu?!"

"Yuan Che! What are you doing?!"

　Yesterday's new post was blocked again, so I will add it directly to the back today!
