It was about to be the third day, but Wang Zeng was not sleepy at all. Yesterday, Cheng Lin presented the "Picture of Empress Wu's Reign" in the morning court. In addition, Fang Zhonggong blatantly invited Liu E to be the emperor before, which even triggered the court. Although many people angrily accused Fang Zhonggong and Cheng Lin of being flattering villains, they could not scold people to death. Since Cheng Lin and the others dared to do this, they were naturally ready to be scolded.

As the prime minister, Wang Zeng didn't care much about Cheng Lin and others. What he cared about was Liu E's attitude. In recent years, he obviously felt that Liu E's ambitions were getting bigger and bigger. When he went to Cixiao Temple last time, Liu E had already tested the attitude of the ministers. This time he became more explicit and directly put the matter of becoming an emperor on the surface. Of course, thanks to Lu Zongdao, who has always been famous for his loyalty and integrity, and is his own deputy. He is not convenient for him to come forward directly in some matters, and Lu Zongdao happened to speak for him.

However, although Liu E's idea was temporarily dispelled this time, Wang Zeng still did not dare to relax because Liu E's temptations on the ministers became more and more frequent, and many ministers who firmly opposed Liu E were demoted to other places one by one, and most of the people promoted were Liu E's confidants. As a result, fewer and fewer people could use it in the hands of the prime minister. Now what he feared most was that Liu E attacked him and Lu Zongdao and others. If they were demoted from the capital, then no one in the court could stop Liu E from becoming emperor.

Thinking of the above, Wang Zeng couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. When Wang Qinruo passed away, he recommended him as a prime minister to Liu E. His real purpose was to let him restrain Liu E. Although he had no good feelings for Wang Qinruo, it has to be said that Wang Qinruo was still loyal to the royal Zhao family in this matter, but Wang Zeng is now increasingly unable to do so, and he even regrets taking over the presidency.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~" Just when Wang Zeng regretted and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door, which made him stunned, because he had already told his home that he would strictly prohibit anyone from disturbing him when he was in the study, even his wife would not do it.

"Who?" Wang Zeng asked very unhappily.

"Cough~, the official is here to visit, please don't blame the prince!" Li Zhang immediately coughed dryly and tried his best to make his voice appear very peaceful. After all, he jumped over the wall and ran to the prime minister's house in the middle of the night. This was no longer rude, but rather presumptuous.

"Li Zhang?" Wang Zeng also immediately recognized Li Zhang's voice, and was stunned for a while. He probably didn't expect Li Zhang to appear outside his study. However, he was worthy of being the prime minister. He was not panicked when encountering such a thing. Instead, he stood up calmly and opened the door for Li Zhang, and then looked at him with a scrutiny look.

"Wang Xiang forgives his crimes, but he is really forced to do so, so he can only make this decision. He will take me to sneak into your mansion quietly. I hope you will not blame him!" Li Zhang immediately apologized when he saw Wang Zeng. After all, it was quite good that Wang Zeng did not let him beat him out directly.

Wang Zeng was very calm. He looked at Li Zhang a few times and suddenly smiled, "Master Li is probably here for His Majesty, right?"

"It's true that I can't hide it from the King's Prime Minister. The day before yesterday, His Majesty summoned me to the palace and was very worried about the matter in the court. I could only persuade him to relax. I still need the King's advice for the next situation!" Li Zhang bowed to Wang Zeng again and said.

Wang Zeng did not blame Li Zhang, but asked Li Zhang to enter the room. The wild dog was guarding the door. This was Wang Zeng's study, and no one dared to disturb him. After Li Zhang and Wang Zeng were each sitting, Wang Zeng said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but he was becoming more and more worried about the Empress Dowager. Wang Xiang, as the leader of all officials, I don't know what you think about the Empress Dowager?" Li Zhang replied again, but he still retained some face for Zhao Zhen, and did not say that he was so scared that he only knew how to cry, and he was completely panicked and told him.

Wang Zeng pondered for a moment when he heard Li Zhang's answer, and then said slowly: "You can tell Your Majesty that he doesn't have to worry. Although the Empress Dowager has ideas and even has some small actions, he may not dare to really act like a big deal in the world. As long as Guanzhi and I are in the court for one day, the Empress Dowager will never dare to move!"

Wang Zeng's answer was similar to Li Zhang's judgment. He nodded at the moment, but then he hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "With the King and Lu participating in politics, the Empress Dowager really dare not make any big moves, but I am worried about the Empress Dowager's temper, if she..."

Li Zhang stopped deliberately when he said this, and Wang Zeng guessed what he was going to say. He couldn't help but frown. After a moment, he said again: "If the Empress Dowager really can't tolerate us, it is very likely that he would find an excuse to demote us out of the capital, but you don't have to worry too much. Even if we leave, there are other people in the court. The Empress Dowager will not demote everyone out of the capital. There will always be other people to restrain her!"

Although Wang Zeng said this, at the end, his voice was not confident. After all, Liu E is in charge of the court now, and the power of the prime minister has been greatly reduced. Even if he can still restrain Liu E now, if he is demoted, he may not be able to restrain the future successors even if they are willing.

Li Zhang looked at Wang Zeng and sighed inwardly. The prime minister of the dynasty had no choice but to Liu E. In addition, he still remembered that in the original history, Wang Zeng was randomly demoted to the capital by Liu E. As a result, no one in the court dared to object at that time. However, Liu E did not expect to demote Wang Zeng and promote a more sleek enemy, and this person was Lu Yijian.

That night, Li Zhang and Wang Zeng chatted until late at night before saying goodbye and leaving. However, after Li Zhang left, Wang Zeng scolded the guards at home and then strengthened the guards at home. After all, although Li Zhang came to see him without any malice, the prefecture of the prime minister could not let people enter and exit at will, right?

The next morning, Li Zhang went to the palace to see Zhao Zhen again and told him what Wang Zeng meant. Of course, he also made some beautifications. It seemed that Wang Zeng had prepared a lot, which made Zhao Zhen feel much more at ease, at least no longer restless like he did the previous two days.
