In the evening, eunuch Wang Fang was waiting at Donghua Gate, waiting to bring Wang Xiao into the palace for an audience.

Wang Fang is the official in charge of the imperial examination and is also the official supervisor of etiquette.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies wrote the pen, which was probably written by His Majesty.

The world needs someone to govern, and the emperor alone cannot manage it, so there is a cabinet and a ceremonial supervisor. The ceremonial supervisor has the functions of holding the seal, holding the pen, and accompanying the hall.

The affairs of the world are reported to the emperor for review by the Chief of Ceremonies, and then handed over to the cabinet. The cabinet is responsible for drafting opinions on handling, which is called "voting," and then the Chief of Ceremonies submits the opinions to the emperor for approval, which is called "red approval."

Nowadays, the power of "Batching the Reds" is in the hands of Cao Hai, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Cao Hai is also an old man who serves Emperor Yanguang, so his loyalty is of course unquestionable, otherwise Emperor Yanguang would not let him hold the seal.

But when the three cabinet elders disagree, it is crucial who Cao Hai prefers.

Cao Hai favored Zheng Yuanhua, so the cabinet was Zheng Yuanhua's voice.

Wang Fang was different. He had a better impression of Lu Zhengchu.

Although Wang Fang's tendency does not make sense yet, it can explain some things.

Cao Hai has been busy since he became the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies. In the past few years, Wang Fang has been the person who has been with Emperor Yanguang the longest.

What knowledge can a eunuch have? It doesn't matter what His Majesty says.

His Majesty believed that Lu Zhengchu was more loyal, so Wang Fang leaned more towards Lu Zhengchu...

Speaking of which, Wang Fang had met Wang Xiao. When selecting horses, he was the one who took a look at His Majesty's side.

At this glance, Wang Fang fell in love with Wang Xiao immediately.

"We congratulate your Majesty on finding a good son-in-law. Princess Chunning is really envious of others. She has a hint of your Majesty's youthful demeanor." This was Wang Fang's reply to Emperor Yanguang at that time.

Well now, Luo Deyuan, a man who killed a thousand swords, actually impeached even the internal officials and supervisors. This means that even Wang Fang was impeached.

As soon as these three impeachment memorials came out, the imperial censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were furious. No matter how dissatisfied Emperor Yanguang was, he had to respond.

Things must be investigated one by one.

Is the newly selected attached horse demented? This is the easiest thing to argue, so it is natural to start from here.

It sounds like it's just a small matter about Princess Chunning choosing a husband, but at the cusp of the storm, it has become a major event affecting the court situation.

This is the first game for the courtiers to deal with the Kundang, and it is also a very critical game.

If Wang Xiao is a moron, then Uncle Jianing, the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the Ministry of Rites are all suspected of accepting bribes. Luo Luo Yuan's words are true. This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not complaining about rumors, but is justified.

Once such an impression is formed, Bai Yizhang's situation will be very unfavorable, which will further affect Lu Zhengchu.

Once Lu Zhengchu falls, His Majesty will be unable to support himself, and Zheng Yuanhua's authority will become even greater.

The relationship between His Majesty and Zheng Yuanhua is very delicate. On the one hand, he relies heavily on Zheng Yuanhua's talents to govern the country, but on the other hand, he is dissatisfied with Zheng Yuanhua's willfulness. Lu Zhengchu's regulating role in this is very important...

"The Yushitai who kills a thousand swords!"

Wang Fang cursed softly.

The two censors who were not far away looked over and took two steps towards him.

One of the two censors was Luo Yuan and the other was named Kong Bin.

At this time, Kong Bin asked: "What did the father-in-law say?"

Wang Fang frowned and ignored Kong Bin. Instead, she scolded Luo Deyuan: "Stay away from our house, don't let your dull air come here!"

Kong Bin's expression changed.

Although he didn't like Luo Yuan, he was a scholar and had always looked down on these eunuchs. At this time, his noble censor was being scolded, and his face looked very ugly.

It just so happens that he is the eunuch beside His Majesty, so it is difficult for him to have an attack at the moment.

So Kong Bin turned his head and glanced at Luo Yuan.

Luo Luo Yuan still looked solemn and said calmly: "I am just discussing matters impartially today."

Who could Wang Fang, a close minister of the Emperor, be afraid of? He screamed and cursed: "There are so many things going on in the world, but you don't share your Majesty's worries. You try your best to find some leisure for Your Majesty every day."

The previous sentence was a personal grudge, and Luo Yuan could ignore it, but this sentence was different. Luo Yuan immediately changed his expression. He said righteously: "How dare you, a eunuch, talk nonsense about court affairs! The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Taizu who opened the way for free speech.

How can I allow you to wantonly slander our good government? I want to impeach you for confusing your Majesty..."

"Impeach our family? Haha, haven't you ever impeached me? Let me tell you, this Wang Fuma was elected by our family, and the Internal Affairs Bureau you impeached this morning was managed by our family." Wang Fang put her hands on her hips and cursed.

, "You can impeach our family again if you can, and do it by name! Who is afraid of you?!"

Luo Luo Yuan was furious, pointed his hand and said: "A traitor to the country..."

Wang Fang scolded: "Shut your stinky mouth! If our family gets infected by your stupidity, Your Majesty will no longer want us to serve you."

There was a quarrel here, but a carriage was slowly approaching.

Then, two people got out of the car, but they were Lu Zhengchu and Wang Xiao.

Seeing Lu Zhengchu, Wang Fang's heart was settled.

Originally, he didn't know much about this matter. When selecting people, he only took a glance at them, and he didn't test their talent. As for the horse, it looks good, has no physical problems, and can be used. Who can do it?

Do you think it could be dementia?

He was impeached today. According to Wang Fang's opinion, with Uncle Jia Ning's character, he must have received money.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Uncle Jianing ran into the palace and shouted that he was wronged and asked to verify whether Wang Xiao was dementia. Wang Fang felt a little relieved. At this time, he saw Lord Cifu was also there, and he really took reassurance.

Then, Wang Fang turned her attention to Wang Xiao.

Although it was not the first time he saw him, when he looked at this young man now, his eyes still lit up.

Our family has worked so hard to choose such a subordinate, and yet they want to impeach our family. What a bunch of scoundrels.

Cursing again in his mind, he led the people to see His Majesty.

Several people entered the palace from Donghua Gate and walked all the way to Qianqing Palace. Wang Fang originally wanted to have a few words with Wang Xiao to find out whether he was dementia.

However, Luo Luo Yuan wanted to mutter that Wang Xiao was now an important witness and that internal officials and prison officials were not allowed to talk to him.

Wang Fang was extremely angry. But in front of Lu Zhengchu, and not wanting to be blamed, she had no choice but to scold Luo Yuan's family in her heart.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yanguang was sitting with a gloomy expression.

There were already many people standing in the hall.

Jianingbo Xue Gaoxian.

Bian Xiuyong, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Mei Jingsheng, Minister of Rites.

Qian Chengyun, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments...

When everyone here came in, everyone glanced at Wang Xiao, and saw that the young man had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, but his expression was indifferent. It was not possible to tell whether he was dementia or not at the moment.

The expressions of curiosity, expectation, and inquiring lasted only a moment. Everyone was a mature and prudent minister, so they still stood with their eyes, nose, nose, and heart in mind.

First, Lu Zhengchu slowly bowed to Emperor Yanguang.

The gloomy expression on Emperor Yanguang's face softened a little, and he gave Lu Zhengchu a seat.

After finally waiting for Lu Zhengchu to sit down slowly, it was Wang Xiao's turn to salute.

Everyone's breathing became lighter.

There was a soft rustling sound behind the screen, and there was also a very soft female voice.

All the ministers knew that the queen, queen mother, noble concubine, and princess were sending people to find out whether Princess Chunning, the unmarried concubine, was a lunatic.

Normally, when everyone discusses state affairs here, of course the harem is not allowed to pry. But now, although this matter is also a state matter, they can indeed let them know something. So everyone pretended not to hear what was going on behind the screen.

Wang Xiao took two steps forward and stood in front of Emperor Yanguang...
