    According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if Cui Shi went to Chen Wanrong's house to cause trouble, Chen Wanrong should report it to the official.  Chen Wanrong did not do this, but humiliated Cui Shi enough, which embarrassed the court. This punishment could not be escaped, but Chen Wanrong faced it calmly.

    "You all can tell me how Chen Wanrong should be punished." Ruizong only said a short sentence and did not talk about Cui Shi in so many words.

    Chen Wanrong¡¯s punishment is inevitable, it¡¯s just a matter of severity.  Xiao Zhizhong didn't understand Princess Taiping's thoughts, and thought that Princess Taiping couldn't save Cui Shi. That was the general trend, and he had to give up his car to save Shuai.  Chen Wanrong made Princess Taiping lose one of her generals. Princess Taiping must have hated him deeply. She argued with reason and asked Ruizong to punish him severely. Chen Wanrong also saved Princess Taiping's face. He was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty  , I believe that Chen Wanrong has two crimes: First, as a minister, he did not abide by the rules of ministers and hurt his colleagues. Second, he did not abide by the law, insulted the prime minister, and lost the dignity of the court. Both crimes are serious crimes and should be punished.  Border."

    Princess Taiping intended to make things easy for Chen Wanrong, but she was very smart and would never greet her subordinates before the court meeting. The reason was that they might get a better situation after discussing it.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Huaizhen came out of the class and echoed: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"

    Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong were generals of Princess Taiping's party and were highly regarded by Princess Taiping. They said this, how could the other courtiers who belonged to Princess Taiping fall behind? They said in unison: "I second the proposal! Please punish the emperor.  Chen Wanrong."

    Chen Wanrong is related to Ruizong's achievements. Only when Chen Wanrong is around can Ruizhong's achievements be established.  The last thing Ruizong wanted to hear was that the ministers wanted him to severely punish Chen Wanrong. He couldn't help but frown, and his eyes slowly swept over the ministers.

    Wu Jing went out to retort: ??"Master Dou, what you said is wrong! Although Chen Wanrong was excessive, he is excusable. It was Cui Shi who instigated the matter. Chen Wanrong should be punished. I think that demotion of two levels is enough."  crime."

    Xiao Zhizhong immediately asked back: "Master Wu, you and Chen Wanrong have a close relationship, aren't you afraid of suspicion?"

    Dou Huaizhen immediately followed up: "Master Wu, when Chen Wanrong was still making soap in the countryside, you came to visit me. You have known each other for a long time, and it is very inappropriate for you to say this."

    Both of them are scheming people. Using the friendship between Wu Jing and Chen Wanrong to make excuses really put Wu Jing under suspicion, and Wu Jing was unable to refute it for a while.

    A trace of anger flashed across Chen Wanrong's face, and he came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, and I dare you to ask your Majesty's permission."

    The ministers were quite surprised and looked at Chen Wanrong in amazement.  Ruizong finally had a smile on his face: "Wanrong, tell me."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Wanrong thanked Ruizong, and then said to Xiao Zhizhong: "Master Xiao, Chen Wanrong is not talented. I would like to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"

    In front of so many people, Xiao Zhizhong had no choice but to refuse. He nodded and said, "Master Chen, please tell me if you have anything to say. Xiao Zhizhong will tell you everything he knows."

    "Master Xiao, last time, thanks to the princess, you invited me to the banquet. From what I saw, during the banquet, you and Master Dou sat very close and very close. From time to time, you whispered and laughed, and you were very happy with each other. You two  We have a good friendship, right?" Chen Wanrong began to ask questions.

    Xiao Zhizhong wanted to admit that his close friendship with Dou Huaizhen was the best way to say it at the moment, and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't know something. Xiao and Mr. Dou have known each other for many years, and they are doing well."

    Chen Wanrong said calmly: "According to Mr. Xiao's intention, Mr. Dou should not second your opinion when Mr. Xiao speaks like this, because this is the suspicion of the Party."

    Xiao Zhizhong never expected that Chen Wanrong would use this matter as a trap, and he was stunned: "Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? Don't you avoid relatives if you don't listen to internal affairs, and don't avoid enemies if you do external affairs? I'm making sense.  , Mr. Dou seconded the proposal, why not?"

    Chen Wanrong sneered and retorted: "Mr. Xiao, I have also heard a saying that 'the friendship between gentlemen is as gentle as water'. I have known Mr. Wu for a long time, and I admire Mr. Wu's talent and character very much."  Mr. Xiao, why Mr. Wu can't say the same thing, but you can? Could it be that what you say is fair, but what others say is unjust? Let me ask Mr. Xiao again, do you dare to say it in front of the ministers?  Is your character better than Lord Wu? Do you dare to say before the Emperor that you are more honest than Lord Wu?"

    Everyone in the court knew about Wu Jing's character and talent, and even Xiao Zhizhong was convinced.  As for incorruptibility, there is no problem. Wu Jing is definitely ten times or a hundred times more incorruptible than Xiao Zhizhong.  Even if Xiao Zhizhong dared to say it, the officials would not believe it, and Ruizong would not believe it either, and he was suddenly in trouble.

    Chen Wanrong struck while the iron was hot: "Excuse me, Mr. Wu, have you ever been bribed?"

    Wu Jing secretly praisedWho is the right person to make Zhongshu Ling?  "

    It doesn¡¯t matter whether Cui Shi is dismissed or Chen Wanrong is punished. It is just a prelude. The real highlight is who succeeds Cui Shi.

    This matter is so important that no one dares to speak.  Xiao Zhizhong and Dou Huaizhen did not dare to recommend anyone without Princess Taiping's knowledge. If they did not agree with Princess Taiping, it would be a big mistake.

    Other courtiers thought that Cui Shi belonged to Princess Taiping, and that once Cui Shi left, Princess Taiping would definitely put her own people in place.  People can go, but their seats cannot be lost. This must be Princess Taiping's idea, and she doesn't dare to say anything.

    "What? You're not talking?" Ruizong frowned slightly.

    Wu Jing pondered for a while, then came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate to discuss it deeply."

    "Considering it?" As soon as Wu Jing finished speaking, the palace immediately exploded.  In terms of talent, character, and reputation, Shen Que is far inferior to Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Shuo, but he is better than the other ministers in the palace, so it is appropriate for him to succeed Cui Shiyuan.

    The problem is that he is a thorn in Princess Taiping's side. A year ago, he strongly remonstrated with Ruizong and asked Princess Taiping not to stay in Chang'an, which offended Princess Taiping. He was dismissed from the official position and demoted from a third-rank official to a sixth-rank county magistrate.  Although he has returned to the court and is running around in the East Palace, will Princess Taiping spare him?

    Chen Wanrong is also worried about Wu Jing. Once Princess Taiping gets angry, Wu Jing will not feel comfortable.

    However, contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, Princess Taiping agreed: ¡°Brother, I also think that Shen Que is suitable, and it is Shen Que who is the perfect candidate for Zhongshu Ling!¡±

    ??If the words are not amazing, it will never stop!

    The hall suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, everyone looked at Princess Taiping with puzzled and surprised expressions in their eyes.

    Ruizhong didn't expect it either. He stared at Princess Taiping with his eyes wide open and was speechless for a long time.

    Li Longji was very surprised. He looked at Princess Taiping in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

    Everyone knows the hostile relationship between Princess Taiping and Shen Que.  Not only did she agree to Shen Que's appointment as Zhong Shu Ling, but she also supported it. Who dares to believe it?  Who can help but doubt it?

    Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Brother, I think Shen Que has qualifications, popularity, talent and learning, and more importantly, he has good conduct, so the ministers are convinced. If he doesn't serve as the Secretary of the Central Committee, who else is more suitable?"  ?¡±

    The most suitable candidates to be Zhongshu Ling are not Shen Que, they should be Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Shuo.  However, the three of them are all outstanding men of their generation and have great talents. They are not attached to Princess Taiping, so they are given away.  Princess Taiping can tolerate Shen Que, who is not the best in talent, as Zhongshu Ling, but cannot tolerate Yao Chong and others as Zhongshu Ling, because the threat to her is too great.

    Excluding Yao Chong and the others, Shen Que is the best candidate for Zhongshu Ling, and Zhongshu Ling really has to be him.  Ruizong was extremely happy and said: "Okay, okay!"

    Princess Taiping then said: "Brother Emperor, it is not impossible for Shen Guo to be the Zhongshu Ling, but he still has to do one thing."

    Another shocking words, the hall fell silent again!  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
