Jiang Zhao, who was still squatting on the ground drawing circles, was startled by the sudden sound.

She looked at these little eunuchs and suddenly let out a scream.

But then I realized belatedly that I was asking myself to go in.

She quickly stood up, straightened her official uniform, and walked in.

Walk to the center of the hall and bow your hands to the emperor above.

"Weak minister Jiang Zhao, please see your Majesty."

She is already a minister now, so it is quite inappropriate to call herself a student.

The emperor nodded slightly.

"I love you, no gift."

Jiang Zhao stood up, looked at the emperor above and asked.

"I wonder what important matter your Majesty summons to summon you?"

Wei Chengyun had already told her before coming, but she still had to ask.

The emperor said loudly.

"Jiang Zhao, the Minister of Qi is accusing you of cheating and repenting of your marriage. Is this true?"

Jiang Zhao cursed secretly in his heart, this Shilang Qi is so shameless, but he still pretended to question.

"Your Majesty, I have never had any interaction with Minister Qi, and I don't know anything about cheating and regretting the marriage."

Before the emperor said anything, Qibu stood up and accused him.

"Your Majesty, she lied. My son's proposal to marry the female champion of Tianyu Dynasty is known to everyone in Huaijing City, but now you are pretending to be confused."

Jiang Zhao looked at Qi Bu with a puzzled look and said.

"Weichen did hear that your son proposed to marry the number one scholar, but no matchmaker has ever entered Weichen's house. How can he propose a marriage?"

Qibu snorted coldly.

"In order to climb the high branch of Zhen Guogong's Mansion, and in order to avenge my son's teasing on you in Jingshui Tower, you deliberately made an ugly girl wait in the mansion for my son to propose marriage, so that you could watch my son's jokes."

Before Jiang Zhao could say anything, Duke Zhen Guo snorted coldly.

"The weight of being a female champion is too heavy. I'm afraid Gao Zhi of the Duke's Mansion won't be able to bear it."

Jiang Zhao cursed in his heart, did this old man say she was fat?

Where did she gain weight?

Jiang Zhao quietly looked at his figure.

Ga!

I’ve been eating a lot lately.

She seems to be really fat (?﹏?)

No, when I get back, I have to let Wei Xiang supervise my weight loss.

Wei Xiang is the most conscientious person. He will definitely make himself eat less and move more.

Although Jiang Zhao was thinking this in his heart, the words in his mouth were also sharp.

"The branches of the Duke Zhen Guo's mansion are too high. I'm afraid Xiaguan, who is delicate and frail, won't be able to climb up. Duke Zhen Guo should leave this branch to other noble ladies to climb."

Although Duke Zhen Guo was angry after hearing this, he could not express his anger in the court.

Not to mention that this is a court and the emperor is here.

Just say that he wants to lead troops to go on an expedition. Although the emperor is just a decoration, if he wants to surpass the civil servants and go on an expedition legitimately, he must obtain the emperor's approval.

Therefore, he could only remain livid and silent.

Jiang Zhao guessed that this old man wanted to lead an army on an expedition, so he dared to openly choke him in the court hall.

But Jiang Zhao was also measured and did not overreach.

She raised her hands and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have been going back and forth between home and the Hanlin Academy during this period. I have been doing my duty diligently and have not received any marriage certificate from anyone."

"Wei Chen really doesn't know why Mr. Qi wants to accuse Wei Chen."

After hearing her words, the emperor's eyes flashed with a smile.

It is better for her to be praised by others for her hard work and diligence, but she is not ashamed to praise herself.

Jiang Zhao is not ashamed. She does her duty and is diligent. It's a pity that those people in the Imperial Academy don't care about her at all. What can she do?

Qibu accused her.

"Everyone in Huaijing City knows that my son came to your house to propose marriage. How could you not know?"

Jiang Zhao waved his hand and said.

"Wei Chen has heard about your son's proposal of marriage, but Wei Chen is at home and has never heard of anyone coming to propose marriage. If Mr. Qi doesn't believe it, he can send someone to inquire near Wei Chen's home."

"If someone says that a matchmaker has entered Wei Chen's house to propose marriage, then it doesn't matter if the lower official accepts the crime of cheating and regretting the marriage."

Afterwards, Jiang Zhao raised his hands to the emperor and said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi's son was getting married that day, and the ministers were also there to watch the fun. When Mr. Qi saw Miss Jiang Mansion, he ran out of Jiang Mansion crawling all the way."

"Miss Jiangfu chased him all the way out and grabbed the corner of Mr. Qi's clothes, but Mr. Qi cut the corners of his clothes, mounted his horse and rode away, leaving Miss Jiangfu to fall to the ground and was laughed at by everyone, losing all face."

"It's really pitiful."

The emperor saw Qibu and asked.

"Qibu, what else can you say?"

"Your Majesty, this is just nonsense from her. Your Majesty cannot believe it easily!"

Qibu shouted quickly.

Jiang Zhao also said quickly.

"Your Majesty, if the minister is talking nonsense, send someone to investigate and we will find out."

The emperor turned to look at Qibu and asked in a deep voice.

"You say Jiang Zhao's words are nonsense, but Gu Aiqing's words are not half different from Jiang Zhao's. Could it be that Gu Aiqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is also nonsense?"

Qibu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he was questioned by the emperor.

He subconsciously looked at Zhen Guo Gong, but Zhen Guo Gong didn't know about the quarrel between him and Jing Huarong.

No birds were interested in him.

Qibu had no choice but to say to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean."

the emperor asked.

"Then what do you mean?"

If he doesn't show off his power, does he really think he is a sick cat?

Qibu stammered for a long time, unable to explain why.

"Weichen, Weichen..."

At this time, he was already secretly cursing Jing Huarong's eighteen generations of ancestors, including Jing Huarong's grandfather, the Duke of Laozhen.

The naming on that day was due to Jing Huarong's promise that the Zhenguo Association would help him in the court.

But now the Duke of Zhen has no intention of helping him at all.

Only then did Qi Bu know that he had been abandoned by Jing Huarong.

All promises are false.

Seeing that Qi Bu was speechless, Gu Hongyuan quickly added another handful of firewood.

"Your Majesty, the Qi Mansion cheated on the marriage and regretted it. The people in the Jiang Mansion took the marriage certificate signed by Qi Zixuan and went to the Kyoto Mansion to sue the Qi Mansion."

"Unexpectedly, Chen Lianghan, the prefect of Kyoto, not only did not accept the matter, but instead accepted bribes, protected the Qibu officials, and even sent officers to arrest all the people in Huaijing who discussed the matter in prison. I am afraid that the meals in the prison in recent days

The costs have increased significantly.”

"What a good minister of household affairs, what a good governor of Kyoto, and my good right-hand man."

The emperor sneered and looked at Qibu with sharp eyes.

Qibu was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The emperor ignored him and asked Wei Chengyun to send Chen Lianghan, the governor of Kyoto.

Wei Chengyun bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is already waiting outside the palace."
