Chapter 4 Wedge Trip to Youzhou

As soon as Wang Mingde finished speaking, the courtiers fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Zuo Buque, who was a low-key person in the court at first, has now become a very important minister, one person is less than ten thousand people!

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. This world belongs to your Majesty, so how can you allow others to criticize him? If you don't kill him as a warning, then everyone in the world will follow his example. How can your Majesty govern the country?"

General Li Chengzhi retorted.

The former general of the auxiliary country is still the current general of the auxiliary country. All the meritorious ministers have been awarded, but he still retains his original position.

Logically speaking, it is understandable that Li Chengzhi, who controlled the defense of Weiyang Palace and purged the imperial city, would be granted the title of a founding father. However, for some unknown reason, Li Zongchao did not mention the matter of granting a reward.

Therefore, in the past eighteen years, no one in the court dared to have close friendship with Li Chengzhi, and he never interfered in any political affairs. Naturally, no one present could guess what Li Chengzhi was thinking at this moment.

"General Li, Zhao Zhen is a great scholar in Youzhou. The Zhao family has been entrenched in Youzhou for generations. There are many students in the Jishi Pavilion that was founded. I am afraid that just one move can affect the whole body. Aren't you afraid that the Zhao family in Youzhou will use this to start a rebellion?"

"Shang Shuling, please be careful what you say!"

Li Chengzhi shouted sharply and motioned Wang Mingde to look up with his eyes.

Seeing Li Zongchao looking at him with an extremely terrifying look, Wang Mingde instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing: "I made a mistake, please forgive me!"

The whole person was lying on the ground, Wang Mingde regretted his mistake.

Although Wang Mingde was unscrupulous and said things he shouldn't have said, this reminded Li Zongchao that he was on this path in the beginning and he could never become the second Emperor Sheng Yang!

"In your opinion, what should I do?"

Li Zongchao clenched his fists and tried to calm down the anger that was about to burst out of his chest!

Wang Mingde didn't hear the scolding and was surprised, but he quickly recovered his mood and bowed and replied: "If your Majesty can forget the blame, courtesy of the virtuous corporal, and allow Zhao Zhen to offer wine to the Imperial Academy, Youzhou will definitely be in peace."

Imperial College wine offering?

Since the founding of the Imperial College in the previous dynasty, it has gone through many vicissitudes, but one thing has remained unchanged.

The post of sacrificial wine must be held concurrently by a very prestigious and knowledgeable minister in the court. However, since the establishment of the Qian Kingdom, there has been no suitable candidate, so Wang Mingde has temporarily held this post concurrently.

"In that case, I will leave this matter to you."

Although Li Zongchao left with a displeased face, fortunately he did not go on a killing spree this time.

Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, only Wang Mingde could bring Li Zongchao back to power. From then on, Wang Mingde's position in the dynasty became even more unshakable.

In Youzhou Jishi Pavilion, Zhao Zhen was listening to the students' defense, but saw a group of fierce men rushing in, and the students' eloquent speech was instantly interrupted.

Bai Haoran, a student of Jishi Pavilion, looked unhappy. He took two steps forward and asked, "Who is so arrogant? How dare you break into Jishi Pavilion and disrupt the defense meeting!"

Unexpectedly, the leader didn't even bother to talk to such an unknown person. He pushed Bai Haoran away directly and walked straight towards Zhao Zhen without squinting. He shouted with an arrogant look: "Zhao Zhen, Shangshu ordered me to invite you!"

Shangshu Ling?

It's that treasonous traitor!

Bai Haoran staggered two steps, and after being supported by his classmates, he stood still: "Oh, who do I think is so arrogant? It turns out to be Wang Mingde's lackey!"

When has the dignified Minister of Rites been so humiliated?

Wang Guozhi walked slowly towards Bai Haoran, the veins on his forehead popped out, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Who are you? No matter who you are, if you dare to speak rudely and insult this officer, it is a death penalty!"

He actually stabbed Bai Haoran to death on the spot!
