This matter was a bit unreasonable. Not only did Emperor Li Xian and the person involved Zhang Qian frowned, but the following little officials from the eighth and ninth rank who were originally a little jealous of Zhang Qian also turned their heads to the palace censor Sha Chongyi, and glared at him.

It’s not that Zhang Qian has a good popularity, but that he has a whole set of tacit understanding in the officialdom. Today, Zong Chuke and Ji Chune fought with Xiao Zhizhong. The "auspiciousness" they relied on was fake, and if they lost this round, they would not be wronged at all.

Since Emperor Yingtian Shenlongxian did not pursue the two of them to "deception", Xiao Zhizhong also chose to stop at the end of the emperor's suggestion. The two and their followers should immediately stop in preparation for another battle next time. Instead of clearly losing, they tried to find a chance to make a comeback from the third party and pestered them all over the place.

What's more, the reason why Zong Chuke and Ji Chune lost was that their relationship with Zhang Qian was very small.

Today, even if Zhang Qian was not ordered by the emperor to tell the giraffe's roots, the giraffe was destined to lose the qualification to become a "auspicious beast" when the giraffe began to get angry.

Otherwise, if a beast that kicked the eunuchs and guards to death and almost rushed into the Zichen Palace, hurting the ministers and the emperor, and pushed them to the position of "auspicious beasts", how could the civil and military officials in the court be convinced?

In order to help a beast, he turned a blind eye to the guards and eunuchs who sacrificed their lives to protect themselves. How could Li Xian sit in a stable position in the emperor?

However, no matter how angry he was, no one of the eighth or ninth-rank officials who were summoned tonight had the courage to stand up and refute Sha Chongyi's slander for Zhang Qian.

In order to show his emperor's demeanor, Li Xian could not silence a censor who was profession to supervise all officials because of his appreciation for Zhang Qian. He could only suppress his anger and nodded to Sha Chongyi with a smile: "What does the Censor mean? Is it true that the Fengmill and Jijing, do you think that their effects are just exaggerations?"

"Bi Gou is a famous and honest person. Xiao Pushe also sent someone to verify the effectiveness of the windmill and the well. I dare not doubt that what they said was false!" Sha Chongyi did not blindly catch anyone, avoiding Pushe, Xiao Zhizhong, who he did not want to provoke, and concentrated his firepower to target Zhang Qian. "But according to my verification, the windmill and the well are extremely costly. Even if it is rich, the income of a hundred households in the whole area in ten years is not enough to buy one. If it is promoted to the whole country, either the people will no longer have overnight wealth or the Tang Dynasty's treasury is empty. It is called reducing the flood and drought disasters of our Tang Dynasty, but it is actually exactly the same as the plan of Zheng State's exhaustion of Qin!"

"What did you say?" Li Xian was frightened and looked at Zhang Qian, and immediately contained some suspicion. (Note: Xianqu was exhausted from Qin. During the Warring States Period, a spy persuaded the Qin King to repair the Zhengguo Qu in an attempt to consume the Qin State's strength.)

It’s not a fault for his soft-heartedness. If anyone had changed, he was driven out of the position of emperor by his biological mother and was surveillance for fourteen years. He almost lost his life several times and would not trust anyone easily. What’s more, even if he was later pushed to the throne, his position was not stable, and he could always feel the pressure from the Wu clan.

The censor Sha Chongyi in the palace took advantage of Li Xian's lack of security. Hearing the other party's replies, he immediately continued to use the topic: "I think that Zhang Zhuan Chu's name is to offer a powerful weapon to the country, but he actually exhausted our Tang Dynasty with tricks. Bi Gou seeks fame and makes accusation for the tiger without checking it. Xiao Pushe missed the observation, and saw that the windmill and the well combined to fight against the flood and drought, but ignored Zhang Zhuan's true intention. Therefore, I ask the emperor to order the guards to take down Zhang Zhuan, torture the envoy behind him, and torture him, and tore all the net, and eliminate future troubles forever!"

"Sir Sha, you are slandering!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jianliang could no longer bear it. He rushed out quickly and pointed at Sha Chongyi's nose and cursed, "If you donate a weapon to the country instead of hiding evil intentions, who will still offer useful things to the country in the future? Will you learn from you and spray feces everywhere from morning to night with a big mouth, and you can enrich the country and strengthen the army?"

He was born tall and tall, with an ugly scar on his face, which immediately scared Sha Chongyi backed. Seeing this, Zong Chuke, the Minister of War, immediately frowned. He was about to speak out to repel the general who didn't know how to be tall and rich, but unexpectedly, after Zhou Jianliang scolded Sha Chongyi, he immediately changed his face and saluted respectfully to Emperor Li Xian: "The general is reckless and cannot bear to listen to the slanderous ministers attacking the innocent anymore, so he was impulsive before. The general knows the crime, and no matter how his Majesty punishes him, the general is willing to accept it!"

"Well" Li Xian's face turned black when he was angry, but he was unwilling to bear the reputation of "failing to the loyal and brave man". He frowned and snorted, then waved his hand to him gently, "Emperor Zhou is a talented person who charges and has some temper. But if it is related to national economy and people's livelihood, Emperor Zhou should not get involved. Go down and have a good rest to avoid delaying General Manager Zhang's entrustment!"

"Master, don't drive the general to leave. The general has not finished speaking!" Zhou Jianliang's righteousness was not really stupid, but he was not really stupid and stingy for his friends. Hearing the emperor Li Xian drove him out of Zichen Hall, he hurriedly bowed with a smile, "Master came back this time, in the name of General Manager Zhang, and asked the general manager to transfer gunpowder to the formation to try. If the general manager was deceived by the slander and dealt with Zhang, the general manager would lose his gunpowder and could not go back to Shuofang to work with General Manager Zhang. Every sentence that was told was the truth, so please let the emperor know how to understand!"

"This..." Li Xian's shortcomings of soft ears were immediately exposed. Looking at Zhang Qian who was silent, and looking at Sha Chongyi, who was full of righteousness, for a moment, he was in a dilemma.

The methods and tools for alcohol were all made by Zhang Qian. Although the military weapon supervisor reported that Zhang Qian had devoted his heart to the art and did not hide his own personal information at all. But if this person left a hand and dealt with him, the Tang army would probably immediately lose a magic weapon.

The reason why Zhou Jianliang tried to win the official position he had just returned and jumped out for Zhang Qian was because Zhang Qian had sacrificed his life to save him. As a mere warrior, he could live up to others' life-saving grace. How could Li Xian, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had just been protected by Zhang Qian, turn against him when he got the favor?!

"Master, I have a question and I want to ask the Censor Sha to answer the questions in court!" Just as Li Xian was so worried that his head was dizzy, suddenly, Zhang Jiuling took it out of the civil service team and asked him for instructions with a smile.

"Zhang Qing can ask questions!" Li Xian wished to slow down first, and nodded at Zhang Jiuling with a smile. Then, he turned his gaze to Zhou Jianliang and ordered in a deep voice, "Emperor Zhou retreated to the side first. I will send someone to deal with the needs of the Shuofang Army!"

"Abide by the order!" Zhou Jianliang cast a self-righteous look at Zhang Qian and bowed back.

However, Zhang Qian seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he also bowed gently to Li Xian and slowly retreated to his original kneeling position.

This action was beyond everyone's expectations. Sha Chongyi was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and asked sternly: "Zhang Zhe, where are you going?! You have been discovered by Sha. Do you think that if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can escape safely?"

"It is necessary to bluff the thief to catch the thief." Zhang Qian glanced at him coldly and continued to move slowly. "As for whether he was planning to be ill-intentioned, haha, there is naturally His Majesty's Holy Sect. How could he make a false statement based on your mouth?"

"You..." Sha Chong's eyes were so angry that his anger was so angry that he raised his hand, pointed at Zhang Qian's nose and was about to spray. Unexpectedly, Ji Chune's gentle cough suddenly sounded beside him, "Well, cough, um, um, um, um, um, um..."

In an instant, Sha Chongyi understood that he was almost taken into the gutter by Zhang Qian, a young man!

The other party was attacked by him, neither defending nor biting him back, but just pretending to believe in Emperor Li Xian. If he continues to pursue him closely, he will not believe in Emperor Li Xian's judgment and intelligence. In comparison, there is no suspense at which side Li Xian should choose to stand on.

Thinking of this, Sha Chongyi decisively stopped entangling Zhang Qian, turned around, bowed to Li Xian, who was already blushing, and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am eager to eliminate traitors for the country. I have a shortage of etiquette for a while, and I am willing to accept the punishment of Your Majesty!"

This is the best thing to be a censor. No matter what mistake you make, you can say that your starting point is to serve the country and the people. The Emperor of the Dragon Yingtian Li Xian was so angry that he was afraid of Sha Chongyi's actions, but he was patient with the system of his ancestors and his reputation and could not study it. After enduring it, he finally waved his hand gently, "Forget it, you are also unintentional mistakes. Master Zhang said that he had something to ask you for advice, and you should first solve his doubts!"

"My decree, obey the order!" Sha Chongyi was hit by a soft stick, and his arrogance immediately lowered three points. He saluted Li Xian respectfully, and then turned his eyes to Zhang Jiuling, "Master Zhang, do you have any confusions to ask Sha? Could it be that you have to cover up your crimes because you have a good personal relationship with Zhang Qian?"

If you have any reason or not, take a bite first. This is one of the basic skills of the censor. Sha Chongyi used it and was familiar with it. He thought he could force Zhang Jiuling to argue, but he was in chaos. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuling smiled and shook his head slightly, "I have a strong personal relationship with Zhang Zhuzhu, which is not false at all. However, he has no crime. Why did Zhang cover it up for him? However, there are a lot of things that need to be covered by the Censor Sha. As far as Zhang knows, the scrolls and samples of the windmill and the well were presented to His Majesty by Xiao Pushe during the morning court this morning. Apart from being the jail, Your Majesty and Xiao Pushe did not verify the scrolls and samples for anyone else. How could Sha Jing even know the cost of the windmill and the well, and firmly believe that it is so high that it requires ten years of accumulation by hundreds of families?"
