Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 513 Happy Time in Court

At three quarters past the hour of Mao, all officials entered the Linde Hall.

Surrounded by hundreds of officials, Li Cunxi walked in front very reluctantly.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"My dear friends, please take a seat."

Cushions had been placed inside and outside the Linde Hall for officials to sit on.

The ministers in the Linde Hall basically had no intention of sitting down. Even if a few old ministers felt tired, they were unwilling to be the first to sit down.

And today, when Li Huaiyuan just raised his head and was about to fight Wu Sansi to the death, he saw that Li Cunxi, who was ranked first among all officials, had happily sat down, not looking at other people, and dozed off with his eyes closed.

At the same time, Wu Chengsi also sat down slowly, closed his eyes, and stayed out of the matter.

In the middle of the Linde Hall, Wu Yanhao leaned his head to look around, and when he saw Li Cunxi sitting down to sleep, he sat down without hesitation and began to catch up on his sleep.

The battle among the officials had not yet begun, but Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi had already fallen asleep.

"Forget it, let's not worry about Duke Qin!"

"It's time for the real battle to begin!"

Li Huaiyuan coughed and announced that the battle in the court had just begun.

After a full hour, the battle finally came to an end. The debate of finding every flaw in every aspect to attack other officials was finally over.

Li Cunxi was sleeping soundly when Wu Chengsi gently woke him up. He finally raised his head and opened his sleepy eyes.

"Are you done arguing?" Li Cunxi rubbed his eyes.

All the officials were silent, and no one knew what this ridiculous chief of officials wanted to say.

The next second, looking at the officials who remained silent, Li Cunxi stood up and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"His Majesty."

"Li Aiqing slept well?"

"I dare not. I have been thinking about it secretly."

"Oh? Thinking in secret?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me, are what they just said right?" Wu Zetian was very happy.

Li Cunxi said seriously: "Your Majesty, whether it is right or wrong depends on who said it. Only then can I judge whether he is right or not."

"Oh? Then, is what Jianzhi said right?" Wu Zetian smiled slightly.

"Mr. Zhang is a man of great sense of justice. What he said must be right." Li Cunxi raised his head with certainty.

Zhang Jianzhi, who had been mute for half an hour, stroked his beard contentedly and felt more and more that Li Cunxi was a good governor of Henan Prefecture.

"Then, everything Huaiying said is correct?" Wu Zetian asked again.

"What uncle said must be right. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not trust uncle so much. So what uncle said must be right."

Di Renjie laughed and looked at Zhang Jianzhi, not hiding his pride at all.

"So, is what Chengsi said also correct?"

Li Cunxi was stunned. He remembered that Wu Chengsi fell asleep as soon as he sat down. How could he speak too?

Suddenly, he remembered that he was woken up by Wu Chengsi just now.

Perhaps, probably, Wu Chengsi made his speech during his break.

Based on his understanding of Wu Chengsi, the other party couldn't say anything bad about him.

Thinking of this, Li Cunxi stood up straight and said loudly:

"Teacher works for the country and the people, and is always thinking about your majesty. He only hopes that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Therefore, everything Teacher says must be right!"

Wu Chengsi threw his head back and laughed, flicking his sleeves, feeling very happy.

Wu Zetian nodded and pointed to the large vegetable leaves of Prince Liang.

"How about thinking twice about what you said?"

Li Cunxi turned his gaze away and began to think about the gap between himself and Wu Sansi.

Soon, he realized the gap between them.

Now Wu Sansi is no longer his opponent, and there is not even a possibility of a comeback.

Thinking of this, Li Cunxi said, "It's just like noise, it's better not to listen at all."

Inside the Linde Hall, officials who were loyal to Li laughed out loud.

Xu Xi, the director of the Imperial Observatory, even laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. This official, who was not loyal to anyone, almost jumped into Wu Sansi's face and punched him.

Amidst loud laughter, today's grand court meeting came to an end with its daily conclusion.

Wu Zetian said some nonsense and then left with Shangguan Wan'er.

All the officials left in groups of three or four, leaving only five prime ministers who were qualified to enter the Council of State Hall in the Linde Hall.

Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou were standing outside, looking back at the tense situation in the Linde Hall, and suddenly they wanted to watch the show.

Both of them are now under the command of Li Cunxi and have no other job positions, so they are naturally happy to have some free time and are waiting outside for Li Cunxi to come out.

"My Lords, why don't we go to the Political Affairs Hall now?"

"Regarding the appointment of Jing County Magistrate Zeng Tai to fill the vacant post of Liangzhou Governor, and Lu Tong's promotion to General of the Left Jinwu Guard, there are several other matters that we need to discuss further."

Zhang Jianzhi, who was in charge of the Menxia Province, put forward his own opinions.

However, it is obviously meaningless to discuss this matter or not.

Even if the two princes of the Wu family worked together, they would not be able to defeat Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Cunxi in the Council of State.

What's more, Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi have such a good relationship that it is impossible for him to collude with Wu Sansi.

"Sir Li, please." Zhang Jianzhi laughed.

"My Lords, please come first."

"Hey, since you are entering the government hall, naturally you should be invited first."

"That's right, Sir Li, please go first."

After a few people pushed and shoved each other, they finally walked together.

Wu Sansi walked behind with a dark face, full of resentment.

Soon, in a lobby of the Menxia Province, Li Cunxi tidied his appearance and strode in.

“Although this is not my first time here, I still feel excited every time I come here.”

Li Cunxi followed closely and looked around.

His seat was in the main chair, which had been vacant for decades before he arrived.

And if he had not become the governor of Henan Prefecture, he would not have been qualified to sit in that position no matter what official position he held.

It's nothing more than the crown prince.

"Master Li, please take a seat as well."

"Someone, bring the tea."

Menxia Province was Zhang Jianzhi's territory. After this capable old man asked everyone to sit down, he ordered his servants to bring tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think I will participate in today's meeting in the Political Affairs Hall."

Wu Sansi's face darkened as he slowly stood up, as if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction with everyone by refusing to participate in the meeting.

Zhang Jianzhi looked confident of victory, tilted his head and said:

"You still have time to leave now."

Wu Sansi's face looked ugly for a moment, but he finally held back and stayed here with clenched fists.

"Master Li, you should preside over today's meeting."

Zhang Jianzhi chuckled and threw a difficult question to Li Cunxi.

"I see..." Li Cunxi touched his chin, "I wonder where we should start with our rules today?"

"Let's start with Zeng Tai filling the vacancy as the governor of Liangzhou?"

"Okay." Li Cunxi nodded, and glanced at Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, "Master, do you object to this?"
