The late emperor passed away, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Concubine Wei became the empress dowager, and Wei Wuxia was still the grand tutor. The new king was young and had frequent actions in his year of succession, and he had great ambitions to govern. Unexpectedly, due to the Xu Qian case, he offended the nobles and officials. Finally, the Wei siblings joined forces to launch a coup. Empress Dowager Wei ruled behind the curtain, and Wang Shilang resigned together, and there was no one to balance the Wei siblings.

These were all heard by Liu Zhiyi from the scholars in the restaurant. He felt that things might not be that simple. It was not just a clichéd story of his uncle joining hands with his mother and foreign relatives interfering in politics.

He did not hear any evidence of Wei Wuxia's direct action. During the coup, the main person who came forward was the empress dowager. On the day of the coup, there were constant officials outside the palace who gave up their title and resigned. The general of the right Jinwu Guard in the palace held the imperial edict of the empress dowager and surrounded the emperor's bedroom. Finally, the emperor issued an imperial edict asking the empress dowager to keep the curtain.

Liu Zhiyi felt that this scene was more like Empress Dowager Cixi suppressed Emperor Guangxu, rather than Empress Dowager Dou joined forces with relatives to suppress Emperor Wu of Han. It was over-interpreted by outsiders simply because Wei Wuxia and Empress Dowager Wei were siblings and had a bad reputation.

In any case, the empress dowager's curtain is a major event. Even if it is the empress dowager, it will take some time to stabilize the situation. In the following days, the court made major moves one after another. The empress dowager's imperial decree was issued continuously, which were measures to calm the affairs and maintain stability.

On the first day, the Empress Dowager issued an order to suspend the investigation of the Xu Qian case, and the person involved was immediately released, including 10,000 imperial guards and the officers and soldiers of the palace who had been arrested.

On the second day, the Empress Dowager issued an order not to resign from Wang Chaodong and others. However, Wang Chaodong was not summoned and rode his ox cart to pass by the market and leave the capital. More than 50 people followed Wang Chaodong, who resigned one after another.

On the third day, the Empress Dowager came to the court and the first court meeting was held behind the curtain. In addition to the resigned Wang Shilang, many officials even abandoned their crowns at the court meeting, angrily scolded the Empress Dowager's hen, and then left. The Empress Dowager did not say a word, and even had a scepter.

On the fourth day, the Empress Dowager was behind the curtain for the second time. The court officials were vacant, and the court officials were in high rituals. Cao Xiong, the general of the Right Jinwu Guard, reported that the world was peaceful and the government was insignificant. The court officials should be restored as usual, and no one opposed it. The Empress Dowager made a decision and changed it to a three-day dynasty.

On the seventh day, the Empress Dowager was behind the curtain for the third time. The Minister of Personnel reported that there were many shortages of officials in the court, and hoped to simply dispel a group of officials. The Minister of Rites reported that he asked to open a tribute and the Empress Dowager approved the report one by one. The Minister of Justice requested to re-examine the Xu Qian case. The Empress Dowager asked the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice to plead with the Secretary of the Court, hoping to punish only the evil ones, and not the followers. All the ministers praised the Empress Dowager's kindness.

After three visits to the court, Empress Dowager Wei finally controlled the court. The emperor was like a puppet, without saying a word.

Liu Zhiyi waited anxiously until the afternoon of the first floor until the break, and the exact news came to the restaurant, and the sadness that had been accumulated in his heart was released. The news was very reliable. It was not the rumor of some Tai students, but the imperial edict issued by the Tai students, and at the same time the seals of the emperor and the queen mother were stamped outside the palace. After being copied by the Tai students, he held up the noise and spread to the Tai floor.

Liu Zhiyi lifted all the psychological burden, and the students were also ecstatic.

Liu Zhiyi was relaxed because after fierce discussion in the court, it was finally determined that Xu Qian was robbed, and Cao Ying, the former right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was fully responsible. In addition to Cao Ying, all officials were escorted along the way, and all soldiers were exempted from being punished. Although Cao Ying was guilty of all the crimes in this case, Cao Ying was removed from the title of Assassin, and his wife and daughter were appointed as the Jiaofangsi, and his descendants were exiled to the border county. The empress dowager pleaded for Cao Ying on the grounds that Cao Ying died at the hands of an assassin, which was equivalent to his death in the line of duty. In the end, Cao Ying was only symbolically removed from his official position, and his family was spared.

The Tai students were happy because after discussions between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, the Queen Mother allowed Kai En to take the post to obtain the students and fill the large number of vacancies. This was the opportunity for the Tai students.

As a result, a fierce court battle after the new king ascended the throne eventually turned into a celebration like a celebration in the restaurant, an indescribable irony.

Not only did Liu Zhiyi not find it funny, he joined in. After staying in Jidi Building for more than ten days, he had become a mature face. Out of caution, he was very low-key, only listening and not talking, and not discussing with others. Today, he took the initiative to say hello to a few students, because these are all acquaintances.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao, are you still aware of me?"

These four people were the Tai students who had drunk tea with Liu Zhiyi on the day Xu Qian was robbed. These four were all lively people. Xu Qian was escorted to the capital and they could be welcomed ten miles away from the capital. How could they miss the lively next to the Tai School?

In the past few days, Liu Zhiyi can see them almost every day, but he has never been in contact with them, and even deliberately stays away from them, worried that they will recognize their identities. Several scholars did not recognize Liu Zhiyi, even when they were drinking tea that day, they had never seen Liu Zhiyi in person, let alone now.

Until the storm subsided and Empress Dowager Wei took charge of the court and issued an order to make the case, Liu Zhiyi was not afraid of being recognized. He was happy and said hello enthusiastically. As a result, he was embarrassed. These people could not recognize Liu Zhiyi when they met.

"You are familiar."

"I'm sorry for being stupid."

“Don’t know.”

"You are? You are! You are..."

There is only one student who seems to be talking to the point where he says he just can't call it.

Liu Zhiyi reminded: "The day when Xu Taifu passed by Chunfeng Pavilion."

The scholar who said that said to him suddenly slapped the table: "So it's you!"

The other three were a little confused.

Liu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, are you remembering?"

The scholar named Wang sighed: "I still remember it, but I still remember it! If you hadn't blocked the assassin's sword energy that day, I would have no such blessing to drink here, and I would not have seen the joy of today."

The other three were still confused.

Shusheng Wang explained to them: "It was the one who drank tea with us when we were waiting for Grand Tutor Xu at the Spring Breeze Pavilion that day."

The three of them seemed to have lost their memory and insisted: "Why aren't we the four of us drinking tea that day?"

Liu Zhiyi became more and more embarrassed, and felt that he could not stay anymore, so he said goodbye on the excuse.

Wang Shusheng didn't try to keep him. Maybe he forgot that he had such a person after leaving this door.

Liu Zhiyi was completely uninterested in these goods and took the initiative to say hello. First, because he was happy, but second, he felt that he was all acquaintances.

If I had known this was the case, I would have just left without saying hello.

After walking two steps, a scholar behind him suddenly shouted: "Oh. Who did you bring the money?"

Liu Zhiyi instinctively turned around and saw four awkward faces.

"I only remember today's court meeting, but I really forgot."

"So too. This court meeting lasted three days and I was anxious to know the situation."

"Or I'll go back and get it?"

The four of them were embarrassed, and the waiter came to drink. Seeing their appearance, they seemed to be commonplace and greeted with a smile.

"Dear young men, let the young man catch it. The old rules are to keep a pair of mobao."

The four of them looked at each other, smiled at each other, and agreed casually.

Liu Zhiyi has not left. He has been here for more than ten days. He has never heard of this rule that he can pay the bill with Mobao. Perhaps he was unintentional and did not notice that scholars paid the bill with pen and ink, or that these students were decent and did not like to eat for free. The restaurant has this rule, which further verified the boss's thoughts. It is not for money for the poor students in the Taixue school. It is probably the same as Liu Zhiyi deliberately cursing these scholars at the tea stall, for connections. These poor students will sooner or later enter the court.

Liu Zhiyi felt it was very interesting, so he stayed to watch the fun honestly.

I saw a few scholars, look at me, look at you.

"Make a poem?"

Shusheng Zhang said.

"Yeah, do a poem."

Shusheng Wang echoed.

"Brother Wang comes first?"

Saosheng Li said.

"Brother Zhao, come first."

Wang Shusheng said.

"It's up to Brother Zhang to come first."

Scholar Zhao was humble.

The waiter holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to him looked at this and that, but he had not seen them finish writing.

"Or what if I should write the first word?"

Shusheng Zhang changed his mind.

"Yes, make the first word."

Shusheng Wang continued to agree.

"Brother Wang comes first?"

Li Shusheng said.

"Brother Zhao, come first."

Wang Shusheng said.

"It's up to Brother Zhang to come first."

Shusheng Zhao was humble again.

The waiter held the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and still looked at this and that, but he still couldn't see them finishing their writing.

Liu Zhiyi was a little confused and thought he could enjoy a good show of talent. But it seemed that these scholars were even more embarrassed than him just now. Apart from being above the top and not being able to understand human nature, wouldn’t they be ignorant?

After reading it for a while, they still didn't even lift the pen. They were still in the tray held by the waiter.

At this time, these people were already a little embarrassed because the scholars around them were attracted.

"How about I do it!"

Liu Zhiyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked forward and picked up his pen.

The waiter couldn't wait any longer, so he smiled at Liu Zhiyi and brought the pen, ink and paper to Liu Zhiyi.

Liu Zhiyi wrote a poem in one breath. He had absolute confidence that this poem would not be embarrassing. The poem by the poet Li Bai should be able to keep the scene.

After writing, he threw his pen and left, and felt extremely comfortable. He seemed to have seen the arrogant scholars, impressed by his poems, and regretted not knowing him early.

He was a little overestimated by these goods. As soon as Liu Zhiyi left, the four of them surrounded the waiter and took the lead in picking up the calligraphy treasures, and even started chanting them in turns:

"The white wine is fresh and returns to the mountains, and the yellow chickens peck at the millet are fat in autumn... I laughed to the sky and went out, how could we be a weed man?"

"I laughed to the sky and went out, how could I be a weed man?"

"I laughed to the sky and went out, how could I be a weed man?"

"I laughed to the sky and went out, how could I be a weed man?"

The last famous quote was recited repeatedly by the four of them.

The scholars around him heard the words and scrambled to appreciate them one by one. The waiter knew that he had dug up the treasure and snatched the rice paper with the poems and squeezed out of the crowd with his smile.
Chapter completed!
