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

Chapter 311

When Chou Shi woke up, Wang Yuan stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.

This strange environment made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and what made it even more difficult for him to fall asleep was the soaring snoring of his beloved son.

It was like placing two large cowhide drums on both sides of his head, and the sound of the drums was thunderous and continuous.

"." Wang Tengfei murmured in his sleep. He didn't know what he said. He turned over and took away the last piece of quilt covering his old father Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan sighed and sat up.

The moonlight is cold, since Zhao Wujiang entered the palace, he has not sensed Zhao Wujiang's return.

"It's so late at night, the young people nowadays don't know how to go home so late, how can they look like they care about their families?"

Wang Yuan sighed, and a rustling sound came from beside him. Wang Tengfei wrapped the bedding tightly, opened his sleepy eyes, and muttered in doubt:

"Father, why don't you rest?"

Is it because of you, Wang Yuan, who took a deep breath and said softly, "Go to sleep. Dad is getting older, and sleepiness is getting less and less."

Wang Tengfei yawned, hummed lightly, and fell asleep again without heart or lungs.

The next moment, there was thunderous snoring in the room.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, and snored. He didn't fall asleep, but chose to adjust his breath, trying to restore his cultivation as soon as possible.

At the time of Chen, Zhao Wujiang was on his way home on horseback. He and Wu Meiniang preached all night, and the physique of a first-rank land immortal could only feel a little tired, but Wu Meiniang was different. She controlled Zhao Wujiang for a whole night, and looked tired.

At this moment, in the court hall, she leaned lightly on the back of the dragon chair and listened to the reports of the officials, her cheeks were slightly rosy, and her majestic eyes revealed fatigue.

"Young lady, please take care of your phoenix body."

Hou Shanye, the Minister of Dali Temple, noticed the fatigue of Empress Wu's majesty, crossed his hands in salute, and bowed and said.

Without the organization of Xu Jingzong and Yuan Tiangang, Hou Shanye and a group of officials were scattered, he seemed to have lost his shackles, and he became more active in the days when Zhao Wujiang was not in the court.

"The empress is dedicated to the country, and she is dedicated to handling political affairs, but she must also take care of the celestial body."

"The old minister also believes that the matter of Chunwei just mentioned can be arranged by the six departments themselves, so there is no need to worry so much."

"The empress is sympathetic to the feelings of the people, and she must also be sympathetic to herself, otherwise the country will have no pillar, which is the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty."

"."

Many courtiers remonstrated one after another that during Empress Wu's handling of political affairs, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, just right, and they worked tirelessly to review numerous memorials.

Even the prince Li Zhong went back to the court in mourning, and all the ministers tacitly did not mention the ceremony that was originally scheduled.

Prince Li Zhong is orthodox, but how can he compare with Empress Wu now?
Datang already had a lot of hidden worries, and he didn't have time to train Li Zhong at all. He needed talented people to lead the overall situation so that there would be no chaos.

Wu Meiniang shook her head slightly, her pretty face under the phoenix crown was as majestic as before, she knew that she had lost her composure in the exhaustion she had shown just now, so she resumed sitting upright, her phoenix eyes swept across the ministers:
"Chun Wei's counselor, is there anyone for the ministers?"

"Returning to my lord, it is most appropriate for the examiners to be from the Ministry of Officials. As for the invigilator, the veteran suggested that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Secretary of the Dali Temple should supervise the examination together."

Prime Minister Lai Ji caressed his beard and spoke first. He was old. In his opinion, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials were necessary, and the Ministry of War joined the new martial arts test because of this spring, and many children born in generals participated. Need the assistance of the Minister of War.

The Dali Temple Minister Hou Shanye came to Ji to recommend him because the Dali Temple Minister was connected with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there were many prison lawsuits. With Hou Shanye's eyes, he could dig out the astute case-judgment officials that Tang Dynasty lacks today.

The reason why he didn't recommend Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was because the third of the four officials was Shang Shusheng, and he didn't really want to see Shang Shusheng's family dominate and the power was too concentrated.

Seeing that the prime minister spoke first, all the courtiers followed suit and spoke out the ideal candidate.

At the same time, they thought of a man who hadn't appeared in court for a long time——Zhao Wujiang.

This man rose up in the imperial examination back then, scolded the Minister of the Minister at the wine table, and the poems he exported every day in the imperial examination hit the lips and tongues of the people everywhere. The sharp eyes in the examination room caught the cheaters, and they were all amazed.

Every time I think about it now, I feel that the past is as vivid as yesterday.

At the same time, many people sighed, not knowing where Zhao Wujiang is now.

Could it be that they offended Empress Wu, so they were left in the cold, and they stopped thinking about it in their hearts, the more they thought about it, the more likely it was.

Zhao Wujiang rose up in Gaozong and was a favorite of Gaozong. Although it is not a new dynasty now, it is Empress Wu who is in power. It is understandable that Empress Wu suppressed Zhao Wujiang and promoted her own staff.

They also still remember that Xu Jingzong stood in line with the current Empress Wu in the matter of establishing an empress, and was reused by Empress Wu at the beginning of her reign.

As for Xu Jingzong's sudden death, although it was identified as an accident at the time, many courtiers speculated that it was related to Zhao Wujiang. If this was the case, then it was also expected that Empress Wu would suppress Zhao Wujiang and prevent him from re-entering the court.

The ministers discussed and had different ideas, they recommended many officials, but they all tacitly did not recommend Zhao Wujiang.

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes twinkled, the candidates for Prime Minister Laiji were the same as what Zhao Wujiang talked to her last night, they were both Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites and Military Affairs and Minister of Dali Temple, she could also understand the intention of such an arrangement.

Not only that, Zhao Wujiang also told her to refer to the opinions of veteran officials in the court, regardless of faction, during the break between the two of them.

"I thought about it carefully, and what the prime minister said is the most fair and appropriate, so the invigilators this time should be the four people recommended by the prime minister."

Prime Minister Lai Ji also widened his eyes, his old eyes were a little surprised, surprised that Empress Wu actually accepted his opinion directly.

You must know that he was not regarded as the prime minister who stood in line with Empress Wu when it came to the establishment of Empress Dowager.

Did Empress Wu ever have a grudge?Lai Ji crossed his hands and bowed slightly.

Many of the officials couldn't believe it. In their hearts, Empress Wu came to the court, and they were forced by the majesty, but in their hearts, they still thought that Empress Wu was just a female stream, and most of them were narrow-minded.

The principle of most of them in dealing with affairs in the court is that they can mess around as much as they can, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, as long as they don't offend Empress Wu.

But now Empress Wu directly stated that he would adopt Prime Minister Lai Ji's opinion, which caught them off guard.

"Niangniang Shengming!"

Dali Temple Minister Hou Shanye spoke respectfully, his eyes rolled, he was surprised, but since his name is on the list, it is a good thing to say something.

All the officials also reacted and saluted one after another:

"Niangniang Shengming!"

Wujiang, is this your intention? Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes are full of smiles, this move is to win people's hearts, and it is beneficial to her.

At the same time, Zhao Wujiang also talked with him about some things, such as resuming the talent selection policy similar to that of a big man, for example, removing him from Zhao Wujiang's official position as Minister of Ministers.

She didn't doubt Zhao Wujiang's remonstrance, she knew that Zhao Wujiang's vision was outstanding, and every step had a deep meaning.

Are you going to start messing with the situation? Wu Meiniang smiled, she likes the way Zhao Wujiang shines in the court and looks vigorous.

During this period of time, Zhao Wujiang was busy with various things, and her heart ached from running around.

She took a slow breath and said in a deep voice:

"In addition, there is another announcement from the palace."

The officials were silent, they felt the majesty of Wu Meiniang at this moment.

The eunuch in front of the hall held the imperial decree, looked around at the ministers, and began to read:
"From now on, Zhao Wujiang will be relieved of his position as Shangshuling!"

The high-pitched voice of the chief eunuch in front of the hall resounded through the hall, and all the officials were in an uproar.
