Just after dusk, Zhengde Hall.

Zhao Zhi had just had dinner and was sitting on the dragon chair. He kept rubbing his eyebrows with his left hand, and there was a trace of pain on his face.

"Your Majesty, if you are impatient, it is better for Dr. Xuan to come and take a look."

Mu Gong whispered beside him, with a worried look on his face.

Zhao Zhi was relegated to the common people when he was young. He suffered all kinds of sufferings and contracted head ailments. They were nothing before and only happened once a year. They were not serious. Last month, Zhao Zhi was boating on Long Lake and contracted a cold. Although he recovered quickly from the cold,

, but the headaches he once had have become more frequent. In the past two months, Zhao Zhi has had them three times and was in excruciating pain.

Zhao Zhi waved his hand: "I'm fine, what can I do?"

Duke Mu has been with him for decades, and they are both monarchs and ministers, as well as close friends. Many things can be understood without further explanation.

Duke Mu sighed, took out a memorial from his arms, put it in front of Zhao Zhi, and said in a low voice: "This is the memorial written by Gou'er himself. The old slave was originally planning to give it to your Majesty tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not that fragile yet."

Zhao Zhi shook his head, picked up Li Xun's memorial, opened it and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Zhi's face.

"Your Majesty, what did the dog say?"

There are no outsiders now, and only Zhao Zhi and Mu Gong are the only ones in the entire Zhengde Hall. In this case, Mu Gong is quite liberal.

"See for yourself."

Zhao Zhi smiled and handed the memorial in his hand to Duke Mu, who took it and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Mu Gong silently closed the memorial and remained silent.

Zhao Zhi said softly: "Mr. Mu, what do you think?"

Mu Gong's eyelids twitched, he lowered his head and whispered: "You are a eunuch, how dare you talk about political affairs lightly?"

"There is no one else here. I want to hear your opinion. If you say it, whether it is right or wrong, I will forgive you."

Mu Gong clarified his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, the dog has been in Wuzhou for a short time, but he has accomplished quite a lot."

Duke Mu didn't make it clear. He had followed Zhao Zhi for decades. How could he not know what kind of character his master was? Zhao Zhi letting Li Xun go to Wuzhou was actually just a test. If he did well, he would be reused in the future.

It's hard to say if the appointment of Li Xun is not good, Li Yi and Qi Wang Zhao Xun have a lot to do with each other. But after all, Zhao Zhi, as the king of a country, is not a foolish king and has his own bottom line. If he can help

Zhao Zhi would not force Adou to do anything that he couldn't afford, but Li Xun was doing very well in Wuzhou now, which gave Zhao Zhi another thought. Zhao Zhi did not express this thought, but Mu Gong could see it.

.

Zhao Zhi tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Li Xun's actions in Wuzhou were indeed somewhat beyond Zhao Zhi's expectations. Zhao Zhi didn't know what role Li Xun played in the previous suppression of bandits in Suzhou and the subsequent riot in Wuzhou, but Wang Renzhi almost

This time he wrote a letter and greatly praised Li Xun. This has to be considered. Li Xun bribed Wang Renzhi? Haha, Zhao Zhi didn't know who Wang Renzhi was and what his character was. Could Li Xun bribe him? Isn't that true?

What a big joke.

Zhao Zhi pondered for a long time and said in a gentle tone, as if mumbling to himself: "This dog always surprises me. It seems that I still haven't really seen his sincerity."

Duke Mu said softly: "When people reach a certain status, they will do whatever they want. Dogs may also be forced to do anything."

Zhao Zhi glanced at Duke Mu in surprise and said, "You have a pretty good sense for dogs."

The shepherd told the truth: "Your Majesty, the dog's character is indeed incompatible with many people. Some people may not understand it, but the old slave likes his character very much and prefers him out of love. The old slave is wrong."

Zhao Zhi smiled and said softly: "No one is perfect. The dog can get your preference. That is his luck and his ability."

Mu Gong lowered his head and stopped talking. After following Zhao Zhi for so many years, Mu Gong already knew very well when to speak and when not to speak.

Zhao Zhi's face fell into deep thought again. After a long time, Zhao Zhi picked up a memorial, which was about the candidates for the officials in charge after the establishment of the Wuzhou Shipping Department. There were eight people in total, six of whom were from the Yang family. The memorial

At the bottom of the page, Zhao Zhi had already approved with a red pen and approved a name, which was an official of Yang's party.

Zhao Zhi thought for a while, and finally picked up the red pen, crossed out the names of the officials from the Municipal Shipping Department who had already approved them, and then threw the memorial aside.

"Tomorrow morning, Yang Luwang, the left minister of the Propaganda Department, will come to see you. I would like to hear his opinions on the candidates for the officials in charge of the Municipal Shipping Department."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Duke Mu bowed and then glanced at the memorial that was thrown aside, with an inexplicable look on his face.

............

"Uncle, you called me here, but something happened?"

Yang Luwang walked into the study and bowed down. Yang Daosi was sitting there drinking tea.

Yang Daosi smiled, put down his tea cup, and said softly: "Can't I talk to you if I have nothing to do?"

"The uncle is serious, and I don't dare to be a nephew."

Yang Luwang looked at Yang Daosi, with some complicated expressions in his eyes. Regarding this uncle, who was actually his biological father, Yang Luwang always felt a little awkward whenever he got along with him.

"There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Yang Daosi pointed to the seat next to him.

Yang Luwang nodded and came to sit next to Yang Daosi.

Yang Daosi smiled and said: "It's been a while since you took office as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but are you still used to it?"

Yang Luwang straightened his body and said loudly: "I am very good. I am taking this position to participate in state affairs. Only then did my nephew realize that there are so many injustices in the world. My nephew has benefited a lot."

Yang Daosi looked at Yang Luwang's energetic face and shook his head secretly. Wasn't he the same in the past? He was full of vigor and high spirits, but in the end, what was left?

Yang Daosi fell into silence, and Yang Luwang did not speak either.

After a while, Yang Daosi looked at Yang Luwang and said softly: "What are your opinions on the candidates for the officials in charge of the Wuzhou Shipping Department?"

When Yang Daosi mentioned this issue, Yang Luwang's face suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, the official in charge of the Shipping Department of Wuzhou City, although his rank is not high, his position is very important. Our Ministry of Civil Affairs has not yet selected the candidates, but some ministers directly bypassed the Ministry of Civil Affairs and wrote to the emperor to propose candidates for officials. How can this be done in the world?

In this way, what status do they put our officials? I am going to report to the emperor to raise objections to this matter."

Facing Yang Luwang's anger, Yang Daosi remained silent.

Yang Luwang saw the inexplicable look on Yang Daosi's face and couldn't help but asked softly: "Uncle, is it bad for me to do this?"
