Chapter 6: not funny joke

Li Zifu was a little excited, she still remembered that Yang Dejin specifically mentioned Xie Zhi yesterday:

This person is a student of Prime Minister Bai, that is, a student of the heroine's father, and they know each other.

It is said that back then when Bai Qingyang's father was labeled as collaborating with the enemy and treason, the first emperor killed him to avoid future troubles.

Xie Zhi felt something was wrong and didn't believe that his teacher would do such a rebellious thing.

Later, he was recommended to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and has been secretly investigating Bai Xiang's case for the past two years. It was also he who first helped Bai Qingyang break away from Li Fu's control, advised her, and helped her ascend to the throne step by step.

The original author called Dasheng's justice and conscience. The original book set that Xie Zhi had a secret that even Bai Qingyang didn't know.

If you can make good use of this person, you don't have to be afraid of those demons and ghosts in the court.

"Xie Zhi, you are a good official, I will remember you."

Xie Zhi was not surprised by this, and only responded politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Then he consciously returned to the team.

Bai Qingyang knew that she didn't really think about Qi Zou at all, this was a signal, he wanted him to see her. Bai Qingyang secretly planned to find a way to connect with Xie Zhi.

Bai Qingyang glanced at Li Zichou again, thinking about how to get around Li Zichou, who was in the way.

The morning court proceeded slowly for nearly two hours, all talking about something and nothing. After less than half a day, Li Zishou and Yang Dejin really screened out several available people.

"Let's come here today, all the lovers will retire. Prince Yu, stay here, I have something to say to you."

The courtiers immediately understood in their hearts: This is to settle accounts alone.

So they all yelled "The ministers and others will leave" and went back to work in the government office.

After Li Zichou saw that everyone was gone, he got up and walked down the steps, but when he was about to speak, he saw Yang Dejin's eyes indicating.

I only heard "Your Majesty" from behind.

Li Zichou: ...I almost forgot that there is still this big Buddha here.

"Empress should go back to Yuheng Palace first, I have something to discuss with Prince Yu."

Bai Qingyang was surprised: You really let me go like this?

After receiving the emperor's words, she left without the slightest hesitation, saying "The concubine will resign".

The outside of the hall was illuminated by the faint sunlight, which reflected in Bai Qingyang's eyes.

She closed her eyes and felt a little dazed. Today is the second day of her rebirth, and the past experience of the previous life is still vivid in her mind. She doesn't know whether God is punishing her or helping her by letting her live again.

She returned to Li Fu's harem, which means that she still has to endure in Li Fu's territory; but she still has the memory of her previous life, which can help her handle those things more skillfully.

When she opened her eyes again, those confusion and unnecessary emotions were gone, only perseverance and determination remained in her eyes.

Today, Xiao Le did not come to listen to the government behind the curtain. She couldn't trust the extra palace people in Yuheng Palace, and now she is alone. Bai Qingyang walked in the direction of Yuheng Palace, but turned into a relatively narrow palace road on the way, and Jingyang Palace was separated by a wall on the left side of the road.

Jingyang Palace, the palace where many concubines were once imprisoned, is also the so-called Lenggong.

On the right are several other courtyards, which house male pets that Li Chou forcibly captured from the people.

Robbing civilian men.

Gee, that's ridiculous. Bai Qingyang frowned in disgust.

There is a corner at the end of the road, where the unused construction materials for the construction of the other courtyard are piled up. Some wood and stone slabs are leaning against the wall, and there is a bamboo forest outside the wall.

There is an exit leading to the outside of the palace.

This was pried out by Xie Zhi from an important member of the Ministry of Industry who had committed a crime. The craftsmen were careful when building the fence here and made a movable wall. This is one of them.

Before Bai Qingyang entered the palace in the previous life, Xie Zhi found her and told her that there was such a passage. After being under house arrest by Li Chou in Yuheng Palace for nearly three months, she finally took advantage of Li Chou's relaxation and found an opportunity to come here to contact Xie Zhi.

The other courtyard is very big, and there are those male pets living in it. As the saying goes, it is dark under the lights, that corner that even the maids who clean up will not touch, who can guess where they can leave the palace?

Bai Qingyang walked around the courtyard and came to the wall. The things made during the reign of Emperor Hong'an are now mottled beyond recognition, the white paint on them has been oxidized too much, and the stone bricks inside are faintly visible, but no one has discovered it yet.

Xie Zhi had been waiting outside for a long time, when he heard the sound of the wall, he immediately walked forward.

"My minister sees the empress."

"Thank you, sir." Bai Qingyang felt his nose sore.

This is Xie Zhi who has been protecting and assisting him since his family changed in the previous life. He is like her elder brother, a friend and her best teacher.

Seeing that her eyes were a little red, Xie Zhi just nodded and didn't say much: "Madam, I have already received it. She is now in my residence. Only you and I know about this matter. Don't worry."

"Li Chou sent soldiers to guard Yuheng Palace, and I may not be able to get out for a long time."

"Well... I will find a way to send my people in to meet you in the future, and try to let you meet your wife."

"Thank you, Xie Zhi."

"The prime minister is kind to me. You are his only daughter, so you should. If the prime minister fails to recover for a day, I can't sleep or eat well."

"Father once said that you are his best student."

"Then I can't live up to the prime minister's expectations. You try your best to mediate with the emperor in the palace, take care of yourself, and I will find a way to rescue you." Xie Zhi looked around and then at the stone wall, "Okay, you Time to go back."

"Well, take care."

"You're the one." Xie Zhi said and left in a hurry.

In Xuanzheng Hall.

After dismissing many attendants, Yang Dejin looked away from Bai Qingyang's departure.

"She went to find Xie Zhi." Yang Dejin said suddenly.

"Ok."

"Aren't you paying attention?"

"Let her go."

"She joined Xie Zhi ahead of time, so you're not afraid that your death date will also be brought forward?"

Li Zichou: "..." This little mouth really can't say anything reassuring.

"Okay, okay, let's make a bad joke. Tell me, what do you think?" Yang Dejin laughed.

"Xie Zhi is too important, we have to make use of it."

"I know that, he is equivalent to Zhuge Kongming, the heroine of the original novel." Yang Dejin said, "But you are not Uncle Liu Huang, you are Dong Zhuo at most."

"..." You can't even count as Cao Cao, can you?

"Well! Even so, there is something we can do."

"How to say?"

"Let's let him help the heroine. Isn't he an upright and upright official? He is exactly what the imperial court needs, and Dasheng's construction needs him."

"It can be predicted that he will be very busy in the future."

"I'm not some evil capitalist, it's enough to give him a promotion, a raise and a holiday." Li Zishou also joked, "Besides, he lives outside the palace, you should get in touch with him more."

"Ah? I'm afraid." Yang Dejin was troubled.

"Get over it."

"Can't get over it."

"Then you were shot to death by random arrows."

"?"

"Hey, let's make a bad joke."

"..." I really care about a woman.

"Also, send someone to find out where Bai Qingyang's mother is."

Yang Dejin: "At this point in time, I don't know if Mrs. Bai is still in Qinzhou. Anyway, she probably hasn't received a lunch box yet."

Li Zichou: "Well... let's not be in a hurry, wait until you find your cronies."

"It's easy to handle. I don't need the people in the Prince's Mansion, but hire someone outside."

"Is it reliable?"

"Try it, anyway, I'm not short of money now."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'm in the palace, and there are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at every word and deed. It's not easy to move."

"Then you should find a substitute."

"…good idea."

"Then besides Xie Zhi, who else do you have your eye on?"

"Yu Chirui."

"Hiss..." Yang Dejin recalled, "Is it—the Hussar General guarding the northern border?"

"It's him, what do you think?"

"He is a military officer, stationed at the border all year round, and he can't return to the capital several times a year. You can't grasp it, next one."

Li Zichou was distressed: "But I really want military power. I can only deploy a part of the forbidden army in the palace, and I have allocated a lot to protect Bai Qingyang."

With military power, you have the right to speak, so that those ministers will not ride on their heads.

"Far water can't save near fire, why don't you consider the city defense army?"

"You mean Captain Ji?"

"Hmm, although he is just a captain of the city gate, and he has nothing to do with the heroine's seizure of power, but is it guaranteed that he will do something after the heroine ascends the throne?"

Speaking of this, Yang Dejin still regrets not being able to finish the third volume. That part describes in detail how the heroine, after she became the empress, appointed virtuous ministers and eliminated villains to rectify the imperial court.

Li Zichou thought for a while: "Forget it, let's see how he behaves, I'm afraid of making a wrong step, step by step."

Yang Dejin nodded: "You are right."

"Speaking of which, Ministry of Rites..."

"What happened to the Ministry of Rites?"

"Recently, I am preparing for the general examination, and the candidates who will be among the best when the time comes..."

Yang Dejin: "Oh—that's a good opportunity to screen people."

Li Zichou: "Uh, don't get your hopes up too much. I'm afraid that the recruits will be old pedants who have studied sage books."

"Damn! You don't necessarily have to look for those top students. In ancient times, didn't some talented people who criticized the current situation often fail the rankings?"

"That's right, it's okay, this matter is not urgent, there is still some time before the imperial examination."

"Those traitors in the court..."

Li Zichou: "To get rid of those people now is to hurt the enemy by eight thousand, and yourself to lose ten thousand."

Yang Dejin's complexion also sank: "That **** named Liang Jing!"

"..." It's good to hold a grudge against a woman.

Li Zishou: "I know you don't like him, but don't provoke him, I'll find a way to deal with it. I saw it in the court today, and there are several powers in the court."

"I know that the two opposing factions in the Sheng court—the Queen's faction and the Prince's faction, Liang Jing is the former." Yang Dejin recalled the contents of the book.

"It should be more than that. Except for those who wait and see, I always feel that there are still some forces."

"But they are not as strong as the Queen's faction. It should be said that they dare not confront this stupid b*tch like Liang Jing."

Li Zishou: "..."

Li Zichou: "Don't let him hear it."

Yang Dejin: "I got it, I got it, I hated him when he was a paper man, but when I saw a living one today, hey! It's even more disgusting."

"Hey, that's all right, there doesn't seem to be any particularly eye-catching officials under your faction."

"Who knows? If Liang Jing gets too greedy, maybe our faction won't get too greedy."

"Oh, speaking of it, Ji Zhuilu seems to be on your side."

"It seems that there is such a thing."

"Can you make contact?"

Yang Dejin's eyes lit up: "You mean...Let me come to inspect the military power?"

Li Zifu spread his hands: "I never said, you do what you can."

Yang Dejin: "I'll try."

Li Zichou: "After the court today, I will go to the palace alone to see if I can find a place for us to meet."

Yang Dejin: "Don't forget that there is Bai Qingyang."

Li Zifu had a headache: "Ah! Bai Qingyang, she looks at me with hostility now."

If eyes could kill, Li Zichou should have received a lot of bento boxes by now.

"Then you should please her even more. She is the heroine, and you won't suffer by being near her."

"Okay, I'm almost here today, you go back first, and pretend to be decent when you go out."

"no problem!"

"Be careful."

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Bai Qingyang: Robbing civilian men, right?

Li Zichou: What's wrong, I even forcibly snatched women from the people.

Bai Qingyang, a folk girl: ...
