A general presented an iron bow to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi took the iron bow with one hand and picked it up easily.
This small action surprised the eight empresses and the civil and military officials.
It was not easy for an ordinary person to lift something that weighed 40 to 50 catties with one hand, let alone so easily.
This was also the reason why the Empresses were stunned.
The few of them thought that even if Li Zhi had some strength, it would be extremely difficult to pull this bow.
Of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Tang, only three or five could use this bow.
Seeing Li Zhi pick up the iron bow, everyone stared at him.
They were waiting for the final result to happen.
Of course, almost everyone thought that they already knew the result.
That was, Li Zhi was unable to move this iron bow even after using all his strength.
In the end, he would become a laughingstock.
Li Zhi's prestige in the hearts of the officials was greatly reduced once again.
"It's important to know your own limits!" Wu Sansi sneered and muttered. Although his voice was very soft, the surrounding officials and generals could still hear him clearly.
Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi also sneered.
These were all close relatives of the Empress. Among the officials, they were no different from the kings with different surnames. Their status was extremely high.
Zhou Xing crouched behind the roe deer and looked up at Li Zhi. Seeing Li Zhi pick up the iron bow so easily, he had an ominous feeling.
However, he immediately smiled and felt relieved. After all, this was a five-picul bow.
Even though Li Zhi had secretly trained his strength, it was impossible for him to draw a thousand-pound bow.
Li Zhi held the iron bow and weighed it left and right, but he was not in a hurry to draw it.
At this moment, a eunuch rushed to Li Zhi's side. He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know if he should say it.
He was a little hesitant.
When Li Zhi heard someone running over, he panted and subconsciously looked over.
It was the personal eunuch Wang Ying.
Seeing Li Zhi looking at him, Wang Ying smiled awkwardly. He wanted to wait until Li Zhi finished drawing the bow.
However, he was also worried that after he finished drawing the bow, Li Zhi would become a laughing stock and be laughed at by the eight empresses and ministers. When he lost his temper, it would seem like he was courting death if he went up and said it.
"What is it? Speak!" Li Zhi looked at the black iron bow and said casually.
This gave Wang Ying a way out.
Wang Ying had grown up with Li Zhi's predecessor and was very loyal to him. He had helped his predecessor deal with many troubles and blocked many dangers.
Because Li Zhi was very grateful to this old eunuch.
Wang Ying was very grateful. He walked up with a smile and said,"Your Majesty, there are three people outside. They said that Your Majesty summoned them and wrote their names on a piece of paper for this servant to report. This servant was afraid of delaying Your Majesty's matters, so I came to report.”
Then, Wang Ying handed over a piece of silk.
Li Zhi took it and saw the words written on it.
"Yang Ye, Yan Song, Wei Zhongxian."
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he saw these three names.
These three were indeed talents. He was hunting outside, and the outside was surrounded like an iron bucket. It was very difficult for ordinary people to get close to this hunting ground.
The three of them had actually thought of a way to get the old eunuch to pass on a message to him.
With just this bit of ability, they had already proved their strength to Li Zhi.
At this stage, Li Zhi wanted talents who could do things.
"Quickly announce it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Li Zhi so excited, Wang Ying knew that these three people were very important, so he quickly jogged over.
Not long after, Wang Ying arrived in front of Li Zhi with three people in ordinary clothes.
Wei Zhongxian had a fair face and a gloomy appearance. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was a eunuch.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was only about thirty years old, and he was in the prime of his life.
Yan Song looked like a Confucian scholar, but his appearance was ordinary. He was a little submissive and looked very honest.
It was hard to imagine that this young man would be able to play with all the officials and the Emperor in the court in the future.
Yang Ye was tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. He looked handsome, with a straight nose and wide mouth, giving people a sense of dignity.
He had long hair and his face was covered with stubble. It seemed that he had not washed up for many days.
At this moment, Yang Ye was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
"This commoner Yan Song, this commoner Wei Zhongxian, and this commoner Yang Ye greet Your Majesty!”
The three of them directly kowtowed in front of Li Zhi's horse.
"Hahaha, the three of you, rise lightly."
"It's rare for me to be happy today. Wei Zhongxian, I'll make you my personal eunuch, and you'll receive a third rank official rank.”Li Zhi said casually.
Originally, the eight Empresses and the ministers did not care when they saw Li Zhi summon three ordinary people.
However, he did not expect that Li Zhifu would directly promote one of them to become a third-grade eunuch as soon as he met them. It was as if he was playing around.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The appointment and removal of officials by the Imperial Court must be assessed by the Ministry of Personnel. Please wait for the Ministry of Personnel to complete the review of this person before hiring him according to the regulations.”The Minister of Personnel, Li Yifu, cupped his hands and advised.
This person was Wu Zetian's loyal dog, and his ability to execute Wu Zetian's orders was quite strong.
Li Zhi glanced at him and said,""What's wrong? Don't I have the right to appoint and dismiss officials?”
"This subject doesn't dare, this subject doesn't mean that. It's just that the appointment and removal of official positions in the Imperial Court is a matter of great importance and is not child's play.”Li Yifu said.
"The position of Substitute Eunuch is related to the emperor's wealth. Please follow the rules of the harem, go through the examination, and appoint one after another.”Wu Zetian said coldly. There was no expression on her face, and she had a high and mighty posture.
