Zhao Zhen is not as idle as Li Zhang. He has countless government affairs that he needs to deal with every day. This is the result of the all the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall sharing the responsibility for him. Otherwise, the memorials sent every day would have to be loaded on several large trucks. With Zhao Zhen's own words alone, he would not be able to handle so many things even if he was exhausted.

When Li Zhang came to Chuigong Hall, he saw Zhao Zhen sitting behind the desk to handle the memorials. At this time, Li Zhang was a little dazed, as if Zhao Zhen's figure overlapped with Liu E back then.

"Cousin, you are here, please sit down. This memorial will be reviewed soon." Zhao Zhen raised his head when he heard the footsteps. When he saw that it was Li Zhang coming in, he also greeted him with a smile. Li Zhang was the only minister who did not need to be informed when entering the Chuigong Hall.

Li Zhang nodded immediately, then sat quietly together waiting for Zhao Zhen to review the memorials. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to speak later and tell him about the future queen?

"Cousin, you are here just in time. My mother said she would set the wedding date in February next year. Do you think it would be too hasty?" At this time, Zhao Zhen finished reviewing a memorial and then raised his head to ask Li Zhang. Empress Dowager Li was anxious to let him establish a new queen as soon as possible, so he was very anxious, so he could only discuss it with Li Zhang.

"This..." At this time, I was thinking about how to bring the topic to the issue of becoming the queen, but I didn't expect Zhao Zhen to mention it on his own initiative, which made him hesitate for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I came to see Your Majesty today, and I also wanted to tell you something related to the Queen."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhao Zhen asked with a curious look when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"This..." Li Zhang hesitated again at this time, then gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "I'm going to hide it from your Majesty, in fact, I have heard about something recently, which is related to the future queen!"

When Zhao Zhen heard what Li Zhang was about to say was related to his future queen, he looked at Li Zhang even more curiously and waited for his words below. So Li Zhang said cruelly again: "I heard that Miss Cao once married someone else!"

"Marry... have married someone else?" Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, and asked again without reacting for a while, "Cousin, do you mean she had an engagement with someone before?"

"It's not a engagement, but a marriage with someone else. It's just that something happened on the wedding night, which caused the groom to escape. The little lady Cao was also quite strong. She went back to her parents' home the next day and retired with a firm attitude!" Li Zhang gritted her teeth and explained. He knew that this was a bit unacceptable to Zhao Zhen. After all, as the emperor, he probably never dreamed that the minister below would recommend a woman with a second marriage to be the queen.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen was very resistant when he heard Li Zhang's words, and even said loudly with disbelief: "This... this is impossible. If she really married, how could she pass the layers of screening and be recommended to the palace? Cousin, you must be joking, right?"

"I dare not joke about this kind of thing. I even sent someone to Yongcheng to investigate and confirm that it was correct before I dared to come to the palace to tell you." Li Zhang also smiled bitterly at this time. Zhao Zhen could not accept this matter. No wonder he was so cold to Queen Cao in history. Even if he was assassinated, he had to rely on Queen Cao's calm command to save his life. However, Zhao Zhen still did not appreciate it. He did not even mention the contributions to Queen Cao afterwards, and did not even give any rewards.

If it were someone else, Zhao Zhen might not believe it, but Li Zhang was the person he trusted the most. And as Li Zhang said, Li Zhang would never joke about such a big thing. This made him stand there hunchedly, and there was no expression on his face. After all, for him, this incident was like a huge rock falling from the sky and hitting directly on his head. Now he was completely confused.

"They are so brave!" After a while, Zhao Zhen roared angrily and suddenly overturned the entire book case, which scared the eunuchs and palace maids around him. He was about to step forward, but Li Zhang waved his hand and drove them out.

Zhao Zhen was also angry at this time. After all, he was the emperor and it was fine to want any woman. The ministers even tried their best to stuff women into the harem, in order to make Zhao Zhen have enough offspring so that no prince would inherit the throne in the future. However, the queen who is in charge of the harem has been recommended to be a married woman. He did not even hear any news in advance, which made him feel a kind of insult to deceive.

Under this anger, Zhao Zhen lost control again and grabbed the things around him and smashed them all. After Li Zhang asked the eunuchs and the palace maids to leave, he stood quietly and waited for Zhao Zhen to vent. After a while, when there was really nothing to smash around, Zhao Zhen was so tired that he was breathing. Finally, he sat on the ground and motionless.

"Cousin, who knows why no one has reported this? " Zhao Zhen took a few breaths and then asked Li Zhang.

"I don't know either. Not only does the Cao family definitely know the information but there are also some officials in the court who are informed." Li Zhang also answered helplessly. When the new queen was established, he was not in the capital at all, and he didn't know how Lu Yijian worked, so he could not answer Zhao Zhen's question.

"What a bold, what a bold!" Zhao Zhen said with murderous aura. At this time, he really wanted to kill people, not only the Cao family, but also the ministers in charge. Although Li Zhang did not say it clearly, he was sure that Lu Yijian must be one of the insiders. After all, he had a good relationship with the Cao family, and the Cao family women made the most of the efforts.

"Actually, I knew about this a few days ago. I have been struggling to tell you whether to tell you." Li Zhang smiled bitterly again and said.

"It's not my cousin's fault. I'm too confused. I can't resist the pressure and agree. Now this matter has been told to the world. Even if you tell me, I'm afraid I can't get out of the marriage!" Although Zhao Zhen was angry, his anger just now had already been vented, so he could still maintain his rationality at this time. Naturally, he could guess the reason why Li Zhang was confused at once.

"My aunt must have been kept in the dark like His Majesty, otherwise she would not have agreed to this marriage." Li Zhang also smiled bitterly again at this time. If Empress Li knew that the queen she recommended to her son was a married woman, she would probably be very guilty.
