......

at night.

Hall of the Heart, the Emperor's Bedroom.

The empress lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

First of all, it was because she was angry at her gradually shaking heart.

Dugu Mingyue's offspring in her belly is not owned by her, but Zhao Wujiang's bloodline. This is not the orthodox bloodline of the Daxia royal family and should not exist.

But Dugu Mingyue's invisible maternal love behavior kept flashing in her mind, stabbing the softness in her heart bit by bit.

She turned around and tightened the bedding:

"You don't have to stay here, go to the side hall to rest. You will have an early court tomorrow."

This is also the second reason why she finds it difficult to fall asleep, that is, Zhao Wujiang is sitting in front of her bed, which makes her feel like Zhao Wujiang is rushing towards her with a beastly look on the next moment.

......

The rising sun rises in the east, and the drums in the sky sound.

The morning court, a few days later, began again.

Many ministers rushed to the palace and had memorials in their sleeves. Except for some matters that were reported for their jobs, the rest involved the case of corruption by Chen Anbang, Minister of War.

They want to seize the position of the head of the house, or to win the position for others.

When the eunuch in front of the hall announced the beginning of the morning court, the ministers stood in two rows in order. Zhao Wujiang stood at the end of the right team, and was about to stand outside the hall.

After all, he is just a sixth-rank secretary and a free job.

He took off his black robe today and wore a light blue robe, and looked extraordinary.

But no one paid attention to him, and most of them looked at the officials in the court who stood out in line to report their work.

Half an hour later, the tedious reporting work finally ended, and the ministers were shocked and knew that the focus of the morning court today was about to begin.

As expected, the empress was majestic and mentioned the incident of Chen Anbang, the Minister of War, who searched the house and began to seek the opinions of the ministers.

The Minister of Revenue shook his sleeves, stood out of the queue, and said respectfully:

"Report to the Emperor, the Minister of War Chen Anbang was corrupt and guilty of corruption and was extremely evil, so it was a matter of course to search his house.

But as the Minister of War for many years, he must have hoarded a lot of money and treasures. If he counted it, he would definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

In terms of counting silver and money, no one in the court can compare to the Ministry of Revenue. Many officials from the Ministry of Revenue are good at this and will be able to count everything and hand it over to the treasury within today.

Many colleagues also have more time to deal with their own affairs.”

"The old minister believes that what Lord Zhang said is very true." Yan Ansen, the Minister of Works, stood out of the queue and said respectfully:

"The Ministry of War is one of the six ministries, and many matters are related to the Ministry of Revenue. No one should be able to beat Lord Zhang in the matter of raiding the residence of the Minister of War."

"The old minister agreed."

"The old minister agreed."

The Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Justice stood out, and they both accepted the benefits of Zhang Tuizhi, the Minister of Revenue.

The empress nodded slowly, feeling that what they said made sense.

The court officials who originally wanted to fight for themselves were silent. Now the six ministries are in unison and are fighting for the Minister of Revenue. If they rashly stand out, they may offend the six ministries completely. The emperor nodded and agreed with the matter.

.

The Minister of Revenue was delighted.

"The old minister thinks that Lord Yan is right!" The Minister of Personnel also stood out:

"The Ministry of War is one of the six ministries, and it should be handed over to the six ministries to handle this matter!

However, the old minister thinks that the most suitable person is the old minister himself!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar. They originally thought that the six ministries were in unison, but they did not expect that the Minister of Personnel would change the subject and win the position of chief officials for themselves.

The Minister of Revenue was shocked. He looked at the Minister of Personnel in disbelief. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he was stabbed by his back. What shocked him even more was that the emperor nodded, as if he thought the Minister of Personnel was very much.

reason.

"Although the old minister has worked with Chen Anbang for many years, he has never had any intersections with him in addition to his own affairs." The Minister of Personnel's intention was to point out:

"If an old minister serves as the chief officer, it will obviously be more honest and fair!"

The Minister of Revenue was dead, and the other ministers didn't know how to speak. If other departments came to argue, they would inevitably refute it together, but the one who was fighting for it was the Minister of Personnel.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I think the Minister of Personnel is right."

"I also think so."

“…”

Ministers who had received the favors of the Minister of Personnel and stood up one after another to support the Minister of Personnel.

The empress nodded seriously again.

The Minister of Revenue was anxious, but there was no way for a moment. He looked at the Minister of Personnel, showing a request, but he was ruthlessly rejected by the Minister of Personnel.

The ministers were talking a lot, and it seemed that the chief of the family was the Minister of Personnel.

Zhao Wujiang yawned. He had read the imperial edict last night, and his name was on it.

"Are you a person who is used to being lazy in the harem? You are so tired in the court!" The communicative servant beside Zhao Wujiang sneered sarcastically.

Zhao Wujiang glanced at the Tongshi Sheren, and from the sixth rank, he was an official as high as him.

"Don't think that the house search has nothing to do with you and me, you can be so slack!"
Chapter completed!
