Peng Yu received the decree and left with a miserable expression.
Li Er looked at Li Zhen and waved his hand."Alright, you can go back. I need some time alone now.”
"Yes."
After saying that, he did not move.
Li Er was stunned for a moment." Let's go," he said hesitantly." Why are you standing here?" Is there anything else?"
Li Zhen laughed dryly. He cupped his hands with a solemn expression and said,
"Your Majesty, this subject is the one chosen by Your Majesty.”
"I feel that the Imperial Censorate, the Imperial Censorate, and the Censorate are too low in rank. If a person who is only one in a hundred is given a mere Imperial Censorate position, it would be easy for others to laugh at His Majesty.”
"Do you want to give me a higher price?"
Li Er looked at him and laughed.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Zhen bowed and said loudly.
Li Er was stunned. He couldn't tell what was going on?
Who didn't know how high an official position was? It was in charge of a large number of censors. Without any qualifications, who would be convinced? How could an Imperial Censor Zhongcheng who couldn't convince the masses be called an Imperial Censor Zhongcheng? That was a joke!
Li Er said with a straight face,
"Li Zhen, don't mess around."
"Zhen is just playing with you."
Li Zhen raised his head and looked at Li Er. He said in a calm tone,"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. A ruler does not joke around. If Your Majesty does not keep his word today, then in the future, the words of his subjects will not be counted either.”
Li Er quickly nodded.”
Doesn't count?
If not, then there would be no law!
Great, Li Er was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. Today, there was an imperial censor assessment in the hall. The imperial censor was eliminated, but he was promoted to a deputy censor!
Why wasn't Wei Zheng cursing?
However, this kid's words were too ruthless. It would be fine if he did not catch his tail. Once he found an opportunity, this kid would not only step on his nose and face, but he would also climb up the stairs!
However…
Li Er rubbed his chin and looked at Li Zhen's back. Just from today's performance, Li Zhen was indeed something.
Regardless of his actions.
Or the way he talked.
They were far ahead of their peers!
Li Er could even imagine that even if there were 1,000 scholars in today's palace examination, Li Zhen would definitely be the one in a thousand.
If there are 10,000 scholars in the palace examination.
That Li Zhen would definitely be one in ten thousand!
Li Er asked himself. From the time he fought on the battlefield to becoming an emperor, he had never seen a young man with such a personality.
It was too stable!
No matter what kind of problem you give him.
He can solve it for you!
If he could properly nurture him, he would definitely become an important subject of the Great Tang!
Li Er lowered his head and thought deeply. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. The smile on his face gradually became thicker and said,
"Li Zhen, listen up."
"Your participation in the memorial today is meritorious!"
"From today onwards, I will appoint you as the Imperial Censor's Deputy, assisting the Imperial Censor Wei Zheng. Together with Du Yan, you will be in charge of the Imperial Censor's Office, the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court. You will be a fifth-grade official and wear a crimson official robe!”
"Yes."
Li Zhen laughed along.
The heavens truly did not let down those who worked hard. Li Zhen sighed inwardly. All of his hard work had not been in vain. If he had not prepared so much in advance, he would not have been able to obtain the official position of Imperial Censor!
One had to know.
The Imperial Censor Zhongcheng was the second-in-command of the Imperial Censorate, not something a low-level Imperial Censor could compare to.
Now, he had ascended to the heavens in one step!
"Ding Dong!"
" Main mission completed!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission. The reward will be issued immediately.”
At this moment, the friendly reminder from the cautious and brave system rang in Li Zhen's ears.
————
Outside Taiji Palace.
The palace guards all rushed out with determined expressions. There were a total of 30 people!
Peng Yu walked in the middle with heavy footsteps. He had a bitter look on his face and his mood was extremely heavy.
What was going on?
He was a little afraid.
Would the state dukes beat him up…
Just as Peng Yu was feeling uneasy, the nine scholars who had just finished the Palace Examination returned home with an imposing manner filled with grief and indignation.
Lu Public House.
Outside the manor, a burly man with a beard, about forty years old, was wearing a purple robe. He was waiting at the door with a smile on his face, waiting for the figure to return.
Da da--
Footsteps sounded.
"Chumo, I've waited so long. You're finally back!”
Cheng Yaojin shouted and ran over excitedly. He put his arm around Cheng Chumo's shoulder and laughed,
"It's good that you're back!"
"Let's go, let's go back and have a good talk. What was the result of today's palace examination? Has His Majesty already decreed that you be an Imperial Censor?”
"Hahahahaha, from today onwards, our Cheng family will have a censor. Look at those old foxes in the imperial court. Who still dares to say that I'm a boor!”
Cheng Chumo pursed his lips and said nothing. After a long time, he whispered,
"Father, my position as censor was stripped by His Majesty.”
Thump! Cheng Yaojin stopped in his tracks, and the smile on his face stiffened. He tightened his hand on Cheng Chumo's shoulder, which made Cheng Chumo cry out in pain.
"What happened?"
Cheng Yaojin tilted his head and stared straight at him. He said with a straight face,
"If you didn't get in, then say so. I won't blame you. At most, you'll be beaten up. What do you mean by your position as an imperial censor was stripped by His Majesty?”
Cheng Chumo smiled bitterly and told Cheng Yaojin everything.
" What?!"
After hearing his words, Cheng Yao's face turned purple. He roared,"
"Li Ji's kid set you up? His Majesty doesn't want you to be a censor?"
"Damn it, you're bullying my Old Cheng family?!”
"How does Li Ji manage his son! Come, follow me to Li Ji's house. If he, Li Ji, doesn't give me an explanation today, I'll skin him alive!”
Dada Dada--
Suddenly, 30 imperial guards wearing helmets and armors with their hands on the hilts of their swords filed in from the alley and surrounded Cheng Yaojin's mansion, as well as his father and son.
Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
What was going on?
Why are there so many palace guards?
Then, Cheng Yaojin saw Peng Yu walk over expressionlessly. Before he could speak, Peng Yu took out a golden imperial edict from his chest pocket. He opened it with both hands and said loudly,
"Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty!"
"Duke Lu, receive the decree!"
Although Cheng Yaojin was shocked, he still knelt on the ground and said respectfully,""I, Cheng Yaojin, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Ahem." Peng Yu cleared his throat and looked down at the contents of the imperial edict. He then read it word by word to Cheng Yaojin with a straight face,"
"State Duke Lu, I have received the Imperial Censor's memorial today. If you reply to me now, what are you trying to do?!”
"Why do you owe the national treasury money and have yet to return it?”
"How is the renovation of your mansion? Do you want me to tear it down and cover it again? If you don't return the money, do you see these 30 palace guards? They came to your house today to move things under my order! Move as many things as you owe the national treasury!”
"If the items are not enough to be used as collateral, I'll confiscate your mansion and use it to repay my debt!”
After he finished reading, Peng Yu closed the imperial edict and said loudly,""Respect this!"
When he looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin stared at him and asked,"
"Eunuch Peng, what does this imperial edict mean? You want to raid my house? Which b * stard censor dared to talk to me? Today, you can move whatever you want from my house, as long as you tell me who that censor is!”
"Chumo, go to the house and take out Father's Xuanhua broad axe.”
"So be it if this mansion is confiscated!”
"This old man must kill that censor!”
"Motherf * cker, I have never offended anyone, so why is he trying to frame me?!”
"Who is that censor?”
When he finished speaking, only Cheng Yaojin's roar could be heard in the sky above State Duke Lu's mansion. The others looked at him in silence, not even daring to breathe loudly.
