She really wanted to applaud Sizuo Liu for his amazing acting skills. It would be a pity not to act in dramas with this acting skills.
"This Zhong Zhang Commander is so ignorant?!"
Liu Sizhi nodded repeatedly, but in his ears he heard the Queen Mother sigh softly, "When I saw her a few days ago, I thought she was very smart. How come her face changed in just a few days?"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager said this, Liu Sizhi probably believed that Zhong Zhang ordered her to commit the crime. He felt excited in his heart, thinking that now he must be the one to take the throne. However, a look of regret changed on his face and he replied, "
The Queen Mother is also kind-hearted, so she was deceived to this extent. However, even though I have been working with her for so long, I have never noticed that she has such a vicious heart, which shows how deep this person is!"
"Alas," Sheng Shaoqing sighed heavily, "What a pity."
Liu Sizhi was determined, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in agreement, "Who says it's not the case? Zhongzhang Ling is so young, why did he go astray!"
Sheng Shaoqing answered, "Yes, why do you think it is?"
Liu Sizhi:???
Liu Sizhi: What. Why?
"You're not asking, why did she go astray at such a young age?"
Sheng Shaoqing looked innocent and asked Liu Sizhi, but what he wanted to ask was that you are so young, why do you want to use this method to gain power?
"Perhaps," Liu Sizhi thought for a moment, then continued, "Perhaps Zhong Zhangling had a grudge because of the Queen Mother's treatment of Wang Cui, and then wanted to rely on Mrs. Li to climb the palace position, so
Are you going to do whatever it takes to make dangerous moves?"
Sheng Shaoqing thought to himself that Liu Sizhi had thought all the reasons, and he was indeed well prepared.
However, Liu Sizhi secretly wiped a cold sweat. Fortunately, she had thought a little more before, and was wary of the Queen Mother asking why Zhong Zhang Ling took such a risk and embarked on this path of no return even though she had a bright future.
"What you said does make some sense."
Liu Sizhi: Yes, yes, deal with Zhong Zhang Ling quickly!
"but---"
Sheng Shaoqing suddenly changed his mind and said, "Would it be unfair to convict her just based on your words?"
At this moment, Liu Sizhi finally showed signs of losing his patience. He suppressed his excitement and stopped talking in circles, "Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, it can be said to be a mountain of ironclad evidence. If the Queen Mother did not deal with her, everyone would be so confused."
Sheng Shaoqing: Are you finally showing your claws?! Are you teaching me how to do things?!!
"Liu Sizhi, you seem to be quite eager to convict Zhong Zhangling? Is there another secret behind this matter?" Sheng Shaoqing asked, thinking of giving Liu Sizhi one last chance.
For a moment, Liu Sizhi almost thought that the Queen Mother had seen through her intentions, but when he heard that the Queen Mother thought she had another hidden agenda, she couldn't help but said in awe, "I don't want to see my former colleagues make mistakes again and again!"
"Then what do you think should be done when Order Zhong Zhang makes such a big mistake?"
Liu Sizhi said in a deep voice, "Based on the laws of Daliang, Zhongzhang Ling should be sentenced to beheaded in half, but Wang Shanggong has the precedent, and Zhongzhang Ling has been in the palace for many years, so she should be like her master.
Just leave the palace and never use it again."
Liu Sizhi was almost moved by her compassion. After all, she just wanted to drive Zhong Zhang Ling out of the palace, and did not want Zhong Zhang Ling's life. This was done for the sake of their years of friendship as colleagues!
The crocodile's mercy is just a few drops of false tears before it swallows its prey without hesitation.
"you sure?"
Sheng Shaoqing didn't want to go around in circles with her anymore. After all, her continuous questioning was just to give Liu Sizai a chance to turn around. If she had even the slightest pity just now, Sheng Shaoqing wouldn't want to push her to a dead end.
"Forsythia, didn't you hear?"
Forsythia responded quickly, turned around and was about to lead someone to raise the bell order, but the Queen Mother continued, "Liu Sizhao has found a place for herself, why don't you send her out of the palace?"
Liu Sizhi:??????
Forsythia:??????
Sheng Shaoqing sneered and said, "Fortunately you haven't completely broken your conscience, otherwise, I would have committed another murder today."
"You go and give the order to Zhongzhang first."
Forsythia understood that the Queen Mother's instructions were for herself, so she quickly set out to deliver the message.
Zhongzhang Ling is currently busy preparing for the upcoming spring plowing ceremony. He is busy without touching the ground. He suddenly saw Forsythia coming next to the Queen Mother. He thought it was the Queen Mother asking about relevant matters, but Forsythia didn't even have a chance to speak.
When he found it, he listened to Zhong Zhangling chattering about his work.
"The Queen Mother's entourage has been sorted out. However, since Superintendent Zhang beside the Queen Mother has become ill, the Yongguang Palace has been short of a eunuch in charge, so I would like to ask the Queen Mother to tell me if we need to make preparations."
"Also, Chen Liu's official residence is not as good as the palace, so if the Queen Mother has any necessary things that she needs to carry, we might as well pack them in advance, so we don't have to wait until the day comes to pack them in a hurry."
"We heard that Chenliu is surrounded by mountains and there are many Buddhist temples. If the Queen Mother has the intention to travel to worship Buddha, we can prepare in advance."
"Stop!" Forsythia finally took advantage of Zhong Zhangling's breather to interrupt her work report and whispered, "The Queen Mother is looking for you for other reasons!"
"Something else?"
Forsythia saw that the Empress Dowager wanted to keep the Zhongzhang Order, so she might as well remind her, "It's Liu Sizhi!"
It’s hard to tell what Forsythia said clearly. He only said that Zhang Ling had gone. Zhong Zhang Ling was confused by the mysterious Forsythia, but looking at Forsythia’s face and her words related to Liu Sizhi, Zhong Zhang Ling
The commander still instinctively felt the danger.
On the way to Yongguang Palace, Zhong Zhangling kept worrying about what she had done. Seeing that Forsythia who was leading the way didn't say a word, she didn't feel comfortable asking, until she entered Yongguang Palace and saw
As Liu Sizhi knelt there with a pale face, the doubts in her heart reached their peak for the first time.
"May the Queen Mother be blessed!"
After Zhong Zhang ordered the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked, "Liu Sizhi accuses you of stealing palace property with Mrs. Li. Can you plead guilty?"
Zhong Zhang Ling just stood up, and immediately knelt down again with a "dong" sound with a pale face.
No wonder!
No wonder the affairs of the Shang Palace Bureau have become so complicated recently, and Liu Sizhi, who is usually the most active, seems to have disappeared. It turns out that he is holding back a big move and waiting for her here!
No wonder the two of them live far apart on weekdays, but recently she can often be seen wandering around his residence!
"Wei Chen denies it! This is a false accusation!"
"Isn't the lesson learned by Weichen's master painful enough for Weichen to learn a lesson from? Will Weichen make such a low-level mistake again?!"
Liu Sizhi, who was kneeling beside him, looked at Zhong Zhangling who refused to plead guilty with a pale face. His lips were bitten purple and he couldn't think of a word.
She really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would trust Zhongzhang Order to this point!
What did this Zhong Zhang Ling do behind her back to earn the Queen Mother's trust? Even if there was irrefutable evidence, he was unwilling to convict him and had to wait for her to defend himself.
Zhong Zhangling's every excuse now turned into a slap on her face.
Zhong Zhangling suddenly turned to look at Liu Sizhi and said angrily, "You! Why did you frame me!"
"You and I have agreed three times before to compete fairly for the position of the Supreme Court. Why do you want to go back on your word?!"
Zhong Zhangling said angrily, "You still use such insidious tricks!"
Liu Sizhi laughed miserably, but still refused to give up and said, "I'm not framing you! You are! I have Mingyu as proof, and the account books as proof!"
"Account book?!"
"Mingyu?!"
Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Forsythia, and Forsythia handed the two account books to Zhong Zhangling's hand.
Zhong Zhangling didn't have Sheng Shaoqing's "eyes in heaven", so he flipped through it carefully for a long time before saying with a trembling voice, "This book! No, no, no."
"What is it not?" Liu Sizhi asked Xiang Zhongzhang with a ferocious smile. Wasn't he just imitating her master's method of falsifying the account books?
Master and disciple are from the same family, so shouldn't this fraud be similar?
Seeing the surprised expression on Zhong Zhangling's face, Liu Sizhi felt proud that her hard work over the past few days had finally paid off!
But when he thought that the Queen Mother didn't believe it, Liu Sizhi couldn't help but feel a little depressed. What's the use of all this? What's the use of studying hard? It's not as good as Zhong Zhangling's sharp-tongued mouth!
It's been like this every time. After finally waiting for Wang Cui to be unlucky, Mrs. Xu recommended her again. When she saw that the position of Shang Gong was about to fall on her, Wang Cui, that bitch, kicked her in and destroyed her.
The follower Zhong Zhangling pushed out to fight with her, and the cooked duck flew away. How could she be willing to accept this?!
What's more, the people who originally supported her have changed their minds and favored the person who is more eloquent than herself!
People's hearts are so fickle, how can she not be angry!
Zhong Zhangling sneered and threw the account book out and said, "Liu Sizhi, I had no enmity with you before, but now we are just competing for the position of Shanggong at the same time. You just used this method to frame me, and you still want to humiliate me like this."
I really don’t care at all about the friendship I have had as colleagues for many years!”
After saying that, Zhong Zhangling said to Sheng Shaoqing, "Wei Chen, please be clear to the Queen Mother. It is absolutely impossible for Wei Chen to do such a thing. Master, Master, she was deceived by Mrs. Li at the beginning, but she did not control the desire in her heart. This time
She just made a big mistake, but when she left the palace, she also told Wei Chen that she would never delay her future for small favors. Wei Chen took this warning seriously, how could she knowingly commit the crime?!"
"What's more, although this account book imitated Wei Chen's handwriting, no detail was noticed."
"Weichen's accounting system always leaves a mark on the last page to prevent someone from having a bad idea and trying to frame someone up!"
"And this one doesn't!"
"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, she can also go to the Shang Palace Bureau to check the files. All the account books that have passed through the hands of the ministers are included in each one, and there are no omissions."
Liu Sizhi still deliberately choked and said, "Who knows if you didn't write this book on purpose?"
"you!"
Liu Sizhi is now completely ruined. Ever since the Queen Mother didn't believe in herself, this game has been a losing one, but she just won't give in, won't give in!"
Zhongzhang Ling frowned and said, "Liu Sizhi, if you really want this position of the Supreme Court, I can give it to you instead of snatching it from you! Now that the Queen Mother is here, I will tell you that she will no longer serve as temporary successor."
Doesn’t it follow your wishes to hold the position of minister?”
Zhong Zhangling did not expect that Liu Sizhi, who had only been sarcastic before, suddenly burst out and said, "Zhong Guangzhen!"
"What I hate the most is your hypocritical face!"
"Do you think that just because you are so kind and generous to Shang Gong Bureau, everyone will appreciate you?"
"Bah! You're dreaming!"
"I don't want your charity!"
"Whatever I want, I can just grab it myself! I don't need you to pity me! Before that old Wang Cui came out of the palace, you were just a dog beside her. Why did she become a sinner and be kicked out of the palace? You
This dog can still stay in the Shang Palace Bureau, and can he compete with me for the Shang Palace position?!"
Sheng Shaoqing: Do you blame me?
Zhongzhang Ling was suddenly scolded like this and said angrily, "You stupid thing, your good hand has been beaten to pieces, how dare you accuse me? When I was in the Shang Palace Bureau to dress up clothes, you
You are just a low-class female historian, what qualifications do you have to rob me? To put it another step back, you said that you are not smart, can you rob me with your current behavior? How wise the Queen Mother is, how will she be robbed by such a low-class person like you?
Were they deceived by little tricks?!"
Sheng Shaoqing: This quarrel also included a flattery. Zhong Zhangling’s language skills are really superb!
Liu Sizhi was dizzy with anger, his chest bulged and he gasped, "Am I stupid? I don't know if some people are too smart. I lost today. It's not because I have poor skills, but
You, a treacherous person, did not know what tricks you used behind the scenes to make the Queen Mother trust you!"
At this moment, Zhongzhang Ling also recovered from his rage and said coldly, "Liu Sizhi is careful, if I am a treacherous person, wouldn't the Queen Mother become a dim-witted person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong?"
Liu Sizhi:! You can’t win even if you quarrel!!!! Where is the justice of heaven!!!!
"Cough cough cough", Sheng Shaoqing was shocked by the fierce quarrel between the two people, and she had to cough a few times to clear her presence.
Liu Sizhi and Zhong Zhangling fell silent at the same time. Cui Yun, who came in for a while, said softly, "It's really disrespectful to roar in front of the palace. The two adults should know the consequences better than Wei Chen, right?"
Liu Sizhi became excited and couldn't stop crying. While wiping his tears, he looked angrily at Zhong Zhangling next to him, and moved his position to the side in an attempt to distance himself from Zhong Zhangling.
Sheng Shaoqing looked at the emotion on Liu Sizhi's head at this moment and explained in detail: I'm really angry, I'm really wronged!
"So, Liu Sizhi, are you admitting that you framed Zhong Zhangling?"
Liu Sizhi didn't answer, just glanced aside with red eyes, biting her lips to prevent herself from crying. This was her last stubbornness!
"Cui Yun, what is your crime for framing others in the palace?"
Cui Yun replied, "The specifics will depend on the situation. However, Liu Sizhi deliberately framed his colleagues and sought the position of the palace with a clear purpose. His conduct is despicable and his methods are despicable. The minimum is thirty imperial staff, demotion and salary."
"
Sheng Shaoqing thought, vicious competition is not advisable at any time.
"Then let's follow the rules."
To be honest, she gave Liu Sizhi a chance, but he failed to grasp it. When things got to this point, if Liu Sizhi didn't learn a lesson, it would probably lead to a catastrophe in the future.
Sheng Shaoqing did not expect that Zhong Zhangling on the side suddenly said, "Queen Mother, I have a suggestion."
