The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 50
Xu Zhi's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked.

For a while, the Chongtian Temple was extremely quiet.

Ning Yuezhao did not expect that the news she had been hiding so hard would be exposed in this way. She finally understood why Xu Zhi insisted on her promise that An Chen would be innocent before he died.

She frowned and looked at Xu Zhi, breaking the silence, "Xu Zhi, what do you want to say?"

When Xu Zhi saw that the Empress called him by his own name, combined with her obviously unattractive expression, he was also a little surprised for a while.

But at this moment, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired.

Xu Zhi had no choice but to continue: "Your Majesty, I heard that Imperial Physician An had suffered misfortune that day, so I came to express my condolences that afternoon. When I was looking at the remains of Imperial Physician An, I found that he was not dead yet, so I immediately invited him The doctor from Bojitang came to treat him. The doctor said that Doctor An’s feigned death was due to congestion blocking the trachea and excessive blood loss. After several days of treatment, although he was still in a coma, he had recovered his steady breathing. .”

When Ning Yuezhao heard his words, her head hurt even more, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.That day she stayed in Anzhai until late in the evening, and no one came to offer condolences.Knowing that Xu Zhi was talking nonsense, she couldn't expose him.

The doctor said that although An Chen has passed the test of life and death, it is unknown whether he can wake up and what will happen after he wakes up.

Jiang Qixi sneered, "Master Xu made such a big circle, so he wanted to ask An Yuyi for a life-saving talisman."

Xu Zhi turned to Jiang Qixi, and smiled helplessly: "There is no way, the matter of Yuyi An is really wronged, and the lower officials can't stand it anymore, so they made such a bad move."

Jiang Qixi said in a deep voice: "The premise of His Majesty's pardon for Imperial Doctor An is that he can silently read out the burned classics, but his life and death are unknown now. Even if he wakes up and suffers such a serious injury, he may not be able to remain silent." come out."

Xu Zhi didn't take it seriously, "Decapitation is nothing more than a knife. An Yuyi was almost beaten to death in prison. How many people have the luck of escaping? This is God's will."

Jiang Qixi was shocked by Xu Zhi's shameless sophistry, he decided not to entangle with this villain anymore, and turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to pardon An Chen now."

Because Ning Yuezhao was Jiang Qixi's protégé who provoked this incident before, she was also a little annoyed at seeing him now, but he was a veteran of the three dynasties after all, so she couldn't take his face too seriously. She pursed her lips and said: "Then what does Mr. Jiang Ge mean?"

"God has the virtue of loving life. Since An Chen was lucky enough to survive, then in terms of benevolence and righteousness, all-out rescue and treatment is necessary. As for pardon or punishment, let's wait until the dust settles."

Jiang Qixi's words can be said to have made a concession.

Ning Yuezhao had no choice but to agree, "As Elder Jiang Ge said, retreat from the court!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't care about the reaction of the courtiers below, she just got up and walked away.

Jiang Nian didn't say anything, nodded to his father, and left.

After retiring from the court, the ministers left in twos and threes.

Xu Zhi was the most admired, surrounded by a group of people.

Xu Zhi's face is full of spring breeze at the moment. Although he is a little puzzled by the empress's reaction, he still feels that he has overwhelmed Jiang Qixi on the whole.He firmly believed that Ning Yuezhao would be rewarded heavily in the future just because he did not perform well in court.

He walked over the others with easy steps, walked up to Jiang Qixi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang Ge seems to have a bad complexion. You are the minister of my humerus in Daxing. You must take care of yourself!"

Jiang Qixi glanced at him, "Don't bother Xu Cifu, I know my body well. The most important thing for people is not to be smart, such people usually don't live too long."

"Hehe." Xu Zhi smiled indifferently, "Thank you, Lord Chief Assistant, for your reminder."

Jiang Qixi ignored his villainous appearance, and took a cold look at Dai Yibin who was walking at the end, "Come with me."

Dai Yibin deliberately walked in the back, and when Jiang Qixi called him, he couldn't help shaking.

Jiang Qixi frowned, "Bachelor Dai."

Dai Yibin knew he couldn't escape this time, so he had to follow Jiang Qixi to his office room in the cabinet.

"Why do you want to impeach the emperor yourself?"

After the door was closed, Jiang Qixi didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point.

Dai Yibin hastily shouted for grievances: "Lord Chief Assistant, Your Majesty let the Imperial Army go overboard and intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. The intention is obvious. It is to target His Royal Highness and you. As a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, the emperor has misbehaved. I Waiting naturally should give advice."

Jiang Qixi glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Although Your Majesty ordered the imperial guards to thoroughly investigate this matter, he did not use this matter to suppress anyone. Your impeachment is totally non-existent."

Dai Yibin said humbly: "The lower officials also want to take precautions before they happen."

Jiang Qixi snorted coldly, "I single-handedly promoted you, and you have been in this position for many years. Good birds choose trees to live in. If you think there are tall branches to pick up, go ahead."

As soon as he said this, Dai Yibin could hear a thin layer of sweat, and didn't dare to look at him for a while.

Jiang Qixi is now a veteran of the three dynasties, with many disciples, Dai Yibin is just one of his subordinates, which is not bad.

When Xu Zhi came to him to take the lead in impeaching the Empress, he hesitated, but when he thought that he was over forty years old, and he was unwilling to continue his official career so mediocrely, he thought of giving it a go.

Even though Xu Zhi was showing off in the court, he didn't see the Empress treating him so kindly. Dai Yibin didn't say anything after that, but he felt regretful in his heart.

Now that Jiang Qixi said this, he clearly wanted to draw a line with him.

Dai Yibin hurriedly knelt down and begged: "My lord, I was a fool for a moment! Your prime minister can push a boat in your belly, please forgive me once!"

Jiang Qixi shook his head, and said lightly: "You are so eager for quick success that you are only hurting yourself, so why do you feel sorry for me?"

Dai Yibin kowtowed and said: "I swear, from now on, I will only be loyal to you, my lord, and will not be influenced by anyone else. Please trust me once!"

Jiang Qixi waved his hand, "Go down, from now on, you can ask for more blessings."

When Dai Yibin first entered the Imperial Academy, Jiang Qixi saw that he was talented, so he promoted him.But then he gradually discovered that Dai Yibin was a bit foolish and he was two-sided.Jiang Qixi felt that this person lacked concentration and strength, and his ambition was greater than his talent, so he wanted to cool him down for a while, to hone his perseverance, but he didn't want to repent at all, and became even more opportunistic.

In the eyes of others, Dai Yibin still hangs around Jiang Qixi often, but in fact Jiang Qixi has already alienated him.

Seeing that the big tree Jiang Qixi could no longer rely on to enjoy the shade, Dai Yibin's complexion was ashen, and he almost stumbled out.

Dai Yibin walked to the Imperial Academy in a daze, where several colleagues were talking together and didn't notice him.

"You said, Your Majesty recruited Xu Cifu now, are you going to reward him heavily?"

It turned out that just after Dai Yibin was called away by Jiang Qixi, Xu Zhi was summoned by the empress. Everyone felt that Xu Zhi, who had been under the pressure of Jiang Qixi, would be proud this time.

"I see, who doesn't know that Imperial Physician An is the person on His Majesty's heart, and Xu Cifu has made a great contribution this time."

"Brother, if you get a chance in the future, please speak kindly for us in front of Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhi attained the Tao by himself, and even his disciples in the Hanlin Academy were sought after.

But the man said modestly: "Your lords have praised you, the little one is just an insignificant person, how can he speak in front of Xu Cifu."

How could others just let it go just because of these few words of his pretending to be self-effacing, and for a while, several people flattered each other politely.

These words fell into Dai Yibin's ears, and made him hopeful again.

He thought to himself, "Although Mr. Jiang Ge abandoned me, he is old after all, and Xu Cifu is in his prime, and I have just voted for him, so I am not on the wrong team."

But what these people didn't expect was that Xu Zhi, the second assistant who they said was lucky, had been kneeling in the political hall for a quarter of an hour, and the empress Ning Yuezhao had no intention of telling him to get up.

It is said that Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian had just left the court, and they were walking separately, but in the end when they went to the Yizheng Hall to read the papers, they bumped into each other again.

Seeing her coming, Jiang Nian divided the notebooks on the table into two piles, and said to the editor of the Hanlin Academy who came to the mansion, "This pile is for Your Majesty."

The editor Xiuxiu glanced at the empress who looked unkind, and held Zhezi in front of Ning Yuezhao tremblingly.

Ning Yuezhao was angry at the moment, seeing that Jiang Nian didn't talk to her, she ignored Jiang Nian.She directly took the notebook, picked up the red sandalwood wolf pen, dipped it in blue sand, and began to outline and annotate on the memorial.

Because it was still in the period of national mourning, only blue sand was used for writing and printing, without the dazzling red color, Ning Yuezhao felt a little less irritable when he reviewed the notebooks.

For a moment, the peace in the Yizheng Hall was terrifying. Whether it was the servants of the palace or the editors of the Hanlin Academy, everyone held their breaths and concentrated.

But after reading a few notebooks, Ning Yuezhao discovered the problem.

Because of her previous passive sabotage, the memorials were all handled by Jiang Nian. When the careless editor was sorting the notebooks, he mistakenly mixed in a notebook that Jiang Nian had processed half of before.

Given that the two are currently in a cold war, Ning Yuezhao will definitely not speak first, and she puts the notebook down on the table in displeasure.

Startled by her movement, Jiang Nian glanced in her direction.

Sensing his gaze, Ning Yuezhao glared at him unceremoniously.

Jiang Nian looked at the booklet she had placed upside down on the table, and said to the editor: "Help Gu get that booklet here."

The editor looked at Ning Yuezhao timidly, only to see that her hand was pressing on the booklet.

"Your Majesty..." the editor said in a bit of embarrassment.

Ning Yuezhao clasped the passbook and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty is so capable, will you take my passbook if you don't ask?"

Jiang Nian sighed softly, "Your Majesty is wise, Jiang Nian dare not overstep."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to read the notes in his hand.

Ning Yuezhao had nowhere to vent her anger, so she said to the editor: "You are not needed here, go and send Xu Zhi to me."

Jiang Nian paused when he heard the words, and turned his eyes to her in puzzlement.
