Chapter 352: A Clear Conscience

...

Liu Qingqing's tightness made Zhao Wujiang foam at the mouth for the first time in an hour and a half. Fortunately, his combat power was over 10,000 points, so he did not lose in the subsequent battle.

When I returned to Yangxin Hall, it was already midnight.

Zhao Wujiang did not fall asleep, and continued to practice the Vajra Indestructible Magic Art to awaken the rest of his souls. Now he only had two souls left before he could fully activate all seven souls, and by then his strength would reach a higher level.

The empress was a little worried and asked him to rest first.

"Duck doesn't have to rest!

"Zhao Wujiang waved his hand, signaling the empress to rest first. She still has government affairs to deal with tomorrow, but the duck does not need to rest.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Wujiang had completely awakened his seven souls, and his physical fitness had also improved a lot, and he became more energetic.

He began to patrol the harem again and supervise the palace residents.

...

Meeting Hall.

The empress was discussing political affairs with a group of important officials in the court. The discussion was not as serious as the previous meeting. A group of ministers spoke freely and talked about each other's views on a certain political matter.

The empress sat on the huanghuali wooden chair, rubbing her fingers continuously.

Just now, Zhongshu Ling Liu Zhe recommended a candidate to her to serve as Secretary Lang of the Sixth Grade of the Secretary Province.

Judging from the official position of the sixth rank, it is not small to say small, and it is definitely not big to say big. Especially the secretary man, which is a sinecure. He organizes and takes care of the books in the four libraries of the Secretary Province. It is said to be an official, but more like a librarian.

member.

Originally, the empress would not care much about a sixth-rank official, but the candidate recommended by Zhongshu Ling was Zhao Wujiang.

This undoubtedly made her heart move. After getting along with Zhao Wujiang during this period, she found that Zhao Wujiang was quick-thinking and could always be transparent when he occasionally touched on the political affairs of the DPRK. Coupled with the increase in mutual trust, she always wanted to support him.

A handful of Zhao Wujiang.

However, Zhao Wujiang was apparently a eunuch, which made it difficult for her to exert her strength. Now Zhongshu Ling Liu Zhe's recommendation was undoubtedly what she had in mind.

The empress cleared her throat and signaled Liu Zhe to speak directly.

Liu Zhe, whose beard was nearly white and extremely energetic, stood out of the queue, bowed and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I have recently noticed that the Secretariat Department has been slacking off a lot in its affairs. I asked the Secretary and the Young Supervisor and found out that there are too many rare ancient books in the library and a lack of talent to deal with them."

You are the boss of Zhongshu Provincial Department, what do you do in charge of the Secretariat Department? All the important officials in the court heard Liu Zhe speak and didn't know why.

The secretary, the Young Superintendent, was also stunned on the spot. His mind was full of questions. Mr. Liu had never asked himself.

But when he looked around, he happened to catch Liu Zhe's gaze. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. The lack of talent will cause affairs to run slower."

"Old minister, I do have a candidate here." Liu Zhe said calmly:

"The veteran feels that Zhao Wujiang is just the right person to serve as secretary."

The secretary, the young supervisor, buried his head and said: "Wei Chen also thinks that Zhao Wujiang is suitable."

"Zhao Wujiang supervises the harem. It is very convenient to go to and from the Secretariat. If there is a shortage of manpower, the harem eunuchs can also be called on to cooperate. He is indeed a good candidate." Dugu Yihe added with twinkling eyes.

The empress' majestic face unconsciously evoked a smile:

"Everyone who loves your words, I will confer Zhao Wujiang as Secretary and Provincial Secretary."

Your Majesty, you haven't asked us yet, we haven't expressed our opinions yet... The other ministers are full of slander.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate!" Chen Anbang, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood out of the queue:

"Zhao Wujiang is a eunuch, how can he also hold the post of secretary?

There is no precedent for this since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs also stood out of the queue:

"Your Majesty, promotion and removal of officials must be assessed by the Ministry of Personnel. This Zhao Wujiang..."

"Have I asked for your opinion?" The empress' eyes were sharp and she swept over everyone with dignity:

"As long as I say yes!"

Those who wanted to object were silenced. They had rarely seen the emperor so majestic and domineering. Although the emperor had been angry before, it was anger, not domineering.

The murderous intention in the Minister of War's heart became more and more intense. Of course, this was not aimed at the empress, but at Zhao Wujiang.

Yesterday, he wanted to ask someone to assassinate Zhao Wujiang, but after thinking about it, assassinating a harem eunuch was not worth the fuss he made.

But things are different today. Once Zhao Wujiang is appointed as Secretary Lang, the threat to Chen Anbang will only become greater and greater.

It seems that I can only feel at ease if you die... Chen Anbang's eyes were fierce and he was determined to get rid of Zhao Wujiang.

"From now on, Zhao Wujiang will be the Secretary and Provincial Secretary. He will draft the edict under Zhongshu's sect, and the minister's staff will cooperate." The empress looked majestic:

"Remember, I am informing you!"

Liu Zhe's old cheeks evoked a smile:

"Old minister, I obey!"

The reason why the emperor did not take the initiative to promote Zhao Wujiang was because he had only been on the throne for a short time and the imperial power was in a weak state. Breaking the precedent would easily be opposed by other ministers.

Liu Zhe took the initiative to mention the recommendation, not only to value Zhao Wujiang's future, but also to announce a message through this matter. He is a minister who supports the emperor's position.
