Having just finished his undercover life in Qianhu Country and returned to the Divine Capital, Li Mu started to be busy with official duties again.
The first thing he had to deal with was the Queen's backlog of documents.
If we evaluate the empress by the standards of an emperor, she is definitely a foolish emperor. Li Mu was a scholar, but she made her a palm eunuch. She read books and planted flowers every day. This emperor should not be too easy-going.
After returning from Jiujiang County, Li Mu no longer had to worry about exposing his identity. Shangguan Li and Master Mei had already discovered the two maids on duty near Changle Palace. All along, these two people had been secretly providing information to Mei Zong.
They were the ones who leaked the news about Li Mu staying overnight in the palace to Mei Zong, which damaged his reputation and that of the Queen.
Hu Jiu still thinks that Li Mu is an LSP and has an affair with the Queen. The two have maintained an improper relationship for a long time.
In Zongzheng Temple, the internal guards and Zongzheng Temple were interrogating two palace ladies.
These two maids have been in the palace for seven or eight years. They entered the palace through draft during the late emperor's period. This means that during these seven or eight years, all the big and small things that happened in the palace, even which night the late emperor visited,
Concubine, Mei Zong also knows clearly how long she lasted each time.
In the courtroom, Zhang Chun patted the gavel and asked: "Who are your other accomplices in Shendu? Tell them honestly so that you won't suffer the pain of soul searching for a while."
The two palace maids lowered their heads and looked indifferent, not afraid of Zhang Chun's threat at all.
Master Mei sighed and said: "You are also my people in Da Zhou, and you are women of the human race. Why do you want to work for the Demon Sect?"
A palace maid raised her head and mocked: "The Demon Sect was just called by you. In our opinion, you are the demons."
Lord Mei shook his head and said to Li Mu: "It seems that they have been bewitched and brainwashed by the Mei Sect."
Li Mu disagreed with Master Mei's words. He had been undercover in Mei Zong for several months and knew Mei Zong's methods.
The Mei Sect will not brainwash spies, because people who can be brainwashed generally don't have very bright minds, and people who are not bright minds cannot be spies, and the Mei Sect doesn't look down on them at all.
When they select people, they must first be good-looking and secondly be smart.
Except for those with ulterior motives, those who choose to join the Mei Sect, whether human or demon, must hate the imperial court from the bottom of their hearts.
The two palace maids did not cooperate at all, so Zhang Chun could only forcefully search their souls.
The process of soul searching was very painful. The two palace maids were both mortals who had never practiced spiritual practice. After Zhang Chun finished searching their souls, they passed out directly.
After searching for the soul, Zhang Chun's expression was a little complicated, not as majestic and tough as before.
Master Mei asked: "Have you found their accomplices?"
Zhang Chun shook his head and said: "No, they are in single-line contact. Apart from collecting information, they know nothing."
Li Mu was familiar with Zhang Chun and knew that his expression was definitely not because he had not found any useful information. He looked at Zhang Chun and asked, "Is there any hidden secret?"
Zhang Chun sighed and said: "What a sin..."
He used his magical power to share the information he found with everyone. After a while, Li Mu knew the cause and effect of the incident.
These two women are both from Jiujiang County. They were originally ladies of our family and lived a life without worries about food and clothing.
Later, they were kidnapped by evil cultivators and locked up in a hidden underground palace, where they were used for sexual pleasure and humiliation. They became a furnace for cultivators. They lived in darkness for several months until people from the Mei Sect came to kill the evil cultivators.
Destroying the underground palace and saving the demon clan who were also humiliated in the underground palace, he also saved them by the way.
After that, the two of them joined the Mei Sect.
They were already good-looking and came from famous families. After Mei Zong helped them reshape their bodies, they easily passed the late emperor's draft and became palace maids, lurking in the palace all the time.
The reason why they hate the imperial court is that the culprit who caused their tragic experience is the local county magistrate, who is the official of the imperial court. The miserable experiences of those few months have buried an irresolvable hatred in their hearts, and they will naturally
This hatred was transferred to the Zhou court.
In the courtroom, Master Mei and Shangguan Li did not speak, but their fists clenched loudly.
"The hearts of the people of the Zhou Dynasty were destroyed at the hands of these beasts." Zhang Chun sighed and asked: "How to deal with these two people?"
When an undercover agent went to the Imperial Palace of Zhou Dynasty, these two people would definitely die according to the law. Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Let's lock them up for now. If our spies are discovered later, we can replace them with them."
"This is a good idea." Zhang Chun waved his hand and said, "Take them down first..."
After leaving Zongzheng Temple, Li Mu was thinking about a question.
The human race and the demon race are not two incompatible races. The reason for such serious opposition is largely related to the court's attitude towards the demon race. Many evil cultivators were worried about the court's investigation and did not dare to take action against the people of the Zhou Dynasty.
, so he set his sights on monsters.
The demon clan does not have a country as powerful as the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not protect the demon clan. Moreover, monsters are generally successful in cultivation and are more valuable than humans. Not only the evil cultivators hunt and kill the demon clan, but also some
Practitioners of the right path will also kill demons and take soul demon elixirs to practice in the name of killing demons and doing justice for heaven.
If the imperial court treats the common people and the monsters equally and protects the law-abiding monsters in the Great Zhou, the hatred of the monsters towards the Great Zhou will definitely weaken, the chaos caused by monsters in various places will be reduced, the place will be more stable, and it will also be conducive to the unity of the people. In fact, in Jiujiang County,
, Li Mu had thought about this matter. If the Zhou court could do this, what reason would Fan Ji have to overthrow the court?
If you lose your righteousness, you will lose something.
However, this decree is unprecedented in the history of the dynasties, and the resistance to its implementation must be huge. It is not something that should be taken for granted. He must think carefully about it.
In Changle Palace, Li Mu was reading the memorial and thinking about the matter.
Zhou Wu was leaning on the dragon chair and reading a book. When turning the pages, her eyes would always glance at Li Mu secretly.
Ever since she knew that the vixen from the Thousand Fox Kingdom was ordering her favorite minister like a servant, she felt unbalanced in her heart.
As the Empress of Zhou Dynasty, she could not go to the Thousand Fox Kingdom to cause trouble for that fox, but she had to have what the fox had, and she should have what the fox didn't have.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
She couldn't compete with Liu, who recognized her as Li Mu's wife, but she was the empress of a country and could never lose to a fox.
She put down the book, rubbed her shoulders, and said lightly: "My shoulders are sore after sitting for a long time..."
Just as Shangguan Li was about to step forward, Master Mei held her wrist and said, "A Li, come out with me for a moment. I have something important to tell you."
Shangguan Li was forcefully pulled out by her, and Li Mu also finished approving the last letter, put down his pen, and sighed in his heart, women are pretentious, even the Queen is no exception.
As a seventh-level expert, let alone sitting there for less than half an hour, even if she sat there for ten days and a half months, ten years or eight years, her shoulders would not feel the slightest soreness.
Li Mu took longer to criticize the memorial than she did. Although his mind was already dizzy from criticizing, his body did not feel tired at all.
She just reads books and plants flowers every day, what's the point of being tired?
But having said that, whether the body is tired and whether rubbing the shoulders is comfortable are completely different things.
Who doesn’t want to be taken care of by others?
The Queen reminded him that in the past few days, he had been serving others, and now it was time for him to enjoy it.
He will go back now and let Wanwan and Xiaobai squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs, so as to fully experience the happiness of Fan Ji.
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't wait. He stood up and said, "The memorial has been approved. Your Majesty can take a look at it again. I will go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Changle Palace.
At the entrance of Changle Palace, Master Mei looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "I've finished approving the memorial. I'm a little tired. I'll go back and ask Xiaobai and Wanwan to click on it for me..."
Master Mei looked at him blankly.
Li Mu waved to the two of them and said, "See you later..."
