As he thought about it, Li Zhi's head started to hurt again, and he pinched the flesh of his legs without noticing it at all.

At this moment, a hand reached out and took Li Zhi's hand.

It's Empress Wu.

She was just watching, her eyes full of gloating.

But at this time, there was tenderness and care in her eyes, and she held her husband's hand tightly.

The two intertwined their fingers.

Empress Wu whispered: "Your Majesty, you might as well think about why there is such a rumor!"

After being reminded, Li Zhi immediately reacted: "Yes, there must be a reason for this!"

When the Shandong gentry reported that Li Shimin had entered the underworld, they were in a state of disarray. This was because after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng was killed. Their chances of becoming an official were immediately greatly reduced, and most of the official positions were controlled by Guan Longxungui.

But now in the Li Zhi Dynasty, the Guanlong clan was suppressed, and more and more Shandong gentry people joined the officialdom. Although the proportion was still unbalanced, we also saw hope. Why do we do such things?

Ming Chong below was about to speak but stopped.

Li Zhi said coldly: "What do you think of? Tell me!"

Ming Chongyan said: "The Jiangnan case is being investigated, and rumors are spreading, will it be..."

One word to wake up those who have been wronged.

Li Jingxuan...the Shandong gentry...the scholar invited his name...the suspicion of his son Li Sichong...

Li Zhi's facial features instantly became ferocious: "No wonder Li Yuanfang stopped investigating further. Okay, okay. I can't stand the investigation and am worried that evil things will be exposed, so you actually use me as a shield?"

It is always the ministers who take the blame for the saint!

When have you ever seen a saint take the blame for his ministers?

When he realized this, His Majesty the Emperor, who had a very deep palace, finally broke through the defense.

Li Zhi leaned forward and held his hands, his veins bulging out: "It's the other way around! It's the other way around!! Cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!!"

Hearing a series of violent coughs, Ming Chongyan hurriedly bowed down, not daring to move, but there was joy deep in his eyes.

as expected.
