After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 160 Shifting the blame

Lu Zhao turned around and said, "Pack up and follow me."

Yuan Qing put the pen on the shelf, put on her bag and followed Lu Zhao.

It turns out this is what they were waiting for.

She finally understood a little.

When they arrived, many officials from the three places came, and the small hall was filled with people of all sizes, making it very noisy.

Lu Zhao and his colleagues greeted each other enthusiastically, and Yuan Qing followed behind and saluted his superiors.

Some officials also met the newly appointed Dali Temple judge for the first time. Although they were curious, they knew that the timing was not right. The most important case now was the case in the palace, which concerned the safety of His Majesty, so they had to be cautious.

Dali Temple Minister Ji was the most senior person here. He coughed a few times and spoke in a tone, "Let's not be chaotic. Come one by one. The Ministry of Justice received the order from His Majesty first, so you should speak first."

The officials of the Ministry of Justice all spat inwardly.

Bah, what a cunning and shameless man! Whoever speaks first will have the hardest time. This case is related to Prime Minister Yuan. It would be fine if he loses his job, but I'm afraid he will lose his life too.

They are all officials in the court, and no one wants to be the first to stand out at this time.

The Minister of Justice had long been fed up with this, so he picked up the cup and smashed it down, unable to help cursing, "Ji, you just don't like me, and you're trying every possible way to set a trap for me to fall into."

Dali Temple Minister Ji was not in a hurry. He straightened his teacup and said, "Master Li, why are you so anxious? I didn't ask you to speak. But this matter was indeed first received by your Ministry of Justice. It is common sense that you should be the first to start."

The Minister of Justice was choked and sat down angrily, shaking his sleeves.

Lu Zhao didn't want to talk at first, but seeing these people making excuses, not doing anything for a long time, and wasting time, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Let me say this. Instead of wasting your time here, you should submit a petition to the palace and resign from your official positions. Then you can go home and enjoy your old age and your grandchildren."

Everyone lost their temper and pointed at him and cursed, "Lu Zhao, if you hadn't come to the palace and angered His Majesty to the point of illness, we wouldn't have to waste time here with you."

The smile on Lu Zhao's face faded. "I don't like what you said. Even the imperial doctors said that your majesty's illness was caused by poison and had nothing to do with me. Why, from what you said, do you want to pin the blame on me?"

Then he turned to Yuan Qing and said, "Write this down and tell His Majesty later."

"You are shameless!" The official's face turned red after being blocked by Lu Zhao, and he could not finish a sentence. "Mr. Lu, don't rely on your good face to break the law here. I tell you, if I get pushed to the limit, I will file a petition to sue you!"

Lu Zhao smiled and said, "My good looks, what does that have to do with my eloquence?"

The man was so angry that his hands were shaking, "You...you...you..."

"You can't even speak complete sentences. You should go back and practice before you speak." Lu Zhao took the notebook Yuan Qing had written in and took a look at it. He found that there were no words on it. Instead, it was filled with simple drawings, and he was drawn very ugly.

Tsk, this is revenge for last time.

Women who hold grudges are really scary. He took the charcoal pencil from her hand, drew a few strokes on the paper, and a handsome man with long flowing hair appeared on the paper.

Yuan Qing stood behind and watched, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
