If a ship is overweight, as the captain, he will definitely throw one of them into the sea, instead of holding a piece and sinking it to the bottom of the sea. This has nothing to do with good or evil, but a helpless act.

This is the reason why Changsun Wuji compromised, because he represents a group, not an uncle. He must take the overall situation into consideration and consider others. He cannot blindly protect Zhang Ming just because Zhang Ming is his nephew. This is not realistic.

When the matter reached this point, the royal family was involved, and there would only be more and more people involved, and he would not even dare to investigate. Otherwise, he might lead the finger to himself or Chu Suiliang and others, and he would not dare to take risks.

This is his advantage and his disadvantage.

On the contrary, Li Zhi was much more relaxed. He didn't have so many people to protect, just protect Han Yi alone, just support Han Yi.

But he didn't dare to go too far. He was still afraid of Changsun Wuji and felt relatively weak. He was already very satisfied with Changsun Wuji's compromise. In comparison, Zhang Ming seemed irrelevant. Anyway, Zhang Ming was definitely eliminated. In this case, Li Zhi chose to give Zhang Ming lightly and give both sides a room to relax. He did too much. God knows whether Changsun Wuji will take revenge measures, and he can also put the overall situation first.

But no matter what, Li Zhi was very happy and told Wu Meiniang what he had just said with a smile. This was the first time in his life that he defeated Changsun Wuji, which also gave him great confidence. Of course, he would ask Wu Meiniang to share his joyful mood.

But after hearing this, Wu Meiniang was very calm.

As Li Zhi spoke, seeing that Wu Meiniang had no reaction at all, he couldn't help but look at her and said, "Mei Niang, what are you?"

Wu Meiniang was stunned and said with a smile: "I'm fine."

"Although it's okay."

Li Zhi said: "Do you think I shouldn't forgive Zhang Ming easily?"

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "I think Your Majesty is doing very well. Only a tolerant monarch will be loved by others--just."

Li Zhidao: "Just what?"

Wu Meiniang said: "It's just that the reason why this case can end so quickly is because of Jiang Xian's death."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's true, but who killed Jiang Xian?"

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Li Zhi thought about it and there were no clues. The key was that Changsun Wuji had too many enemies, and anyone could do it.

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, the key reason why I say this is not who killed Jiang Xian. I just want to remind Your Majesty that half of the case can be settled may be attributed to luck. In terms of strength, the uncle still has the absolute advantage. Your Majesty think about it. If they have no evidence, they can delay the case. Your Majesty should not be proud of it."

As soon as these words were said, the happy expression on Li Zhi's face disappeared, although it was disappointing. But he had to admit that his strength was still far from Changsun Wuji. He asked, "What should I do in your opinion?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty should strengthen the power of the court, otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again sooner or later."

Li Zhidao: "Are you referring to the Censor?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "This censor has now fallen into His Majesty's hands. The uncle and the others will never recommend anyone to come up. Your Majesty must make good use of this position."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you suggesting that I promote Han Yi?"

Wu Meiniang nodded.

Li Zhi said: "I'm going to tell you that I have thought about it, and I'm very willing, but Han Yi is still too young. Even if his uncle and others don't object, the other ministers will object."

Wu Meiniang said: "But besides Han Yi, does Your Majesty think there are better candidates?"

No!

This answer is hardly considered.

Li Zhi said: "But this is impossible. Not to mention Han Yi's background, he can't be the censor even with his qualifications."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Did Your Majesty forget how his uncle pushed Zhang Ming to the Censor?"

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "What do you mean is to be promoted to Han Yi as the Chief Censor first?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "In fact, the Censor is often vacant. As long as the Censor is vacant, the Censor Central Chief can control the Censorate, and in comparison, the Censor Central Chief will face less resistance."

Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this. He only had Han Yi's right-hand assistant. If Han Yi didn't get promoted, he smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have to deal with those ministers again."

Wu Meiniang said again: "Apart from Han Yi, Your Majesty still has to try his best to win over some ministers."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I think so too, just--!"

Speaking of this, he was at a loss. Now Changsun Wuji is so strong that no one dares to stand on his side. The only Shandong gentry who can confront Changsun Wuji are some people who put their family interests first, and they also have conflicts with the royal family. Looking around, I really don’t know who can win over.

Dali Temple!

"Special envoy, how to deal with these confessions?"

"Well!"

Han Yi looked at the piles of confessions and felt a big headache and said, "Can you burn it?"

Wang Xuandao said lightly: "Of course not, this must be recorded on the case, although it is useless."

"Then give it to Dali Temple!"

Han Yi said again, "To be honest, I think Dali Temple should eat with me. I completed their performance this year in advance. You must know that it is the beginning of the year!"

Although they didn't know that Changsun Wuji had already entered the palace to compromise, they all understood that the case was finally over and Han Yi had already started to finish the finishing work.

Suddenly, a man walked in quickly and said, "Report to the special envoy, the Grand Marshal is here."

"Taiwei?"

Han Yi and others were all shocked.

"It seems that the result has come out."

Han Yi then laughed.

When several people came to the back hall, they saw Changsun Wuji sitting on the short couch, drinking tea. He had already developed a state of mind that Gu Jingbubo had. You could not see anything from his face.

"Search to the Grand Marshal."

Several people stepped forward and bowed.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "No gifts, no gifts. I came here late at night. I didn't disturb you."

Han Yi hurriedly said, "How dare you? How dare you? It is our honor to be able to guide our work."

Changsun Wuji laughed a few times and said, "Actually, I am here to meet Zhang Ming this time. I wonder if it is possible?"

Han Yi immediately said: "Of course. Taiwei, please come here."

"Then I'll have a hard time." Changsun Wuji stood up and said to Zheng Shanxing and the others: "You guys just go and do your own business. Han Yi will just take me there."

"yes."

After leaving the back hall, Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "You kid is quite bold. You don't ask me if you have any of His Majesty's instructions, so I will allow me to see Zhang Ming. You are not afraid that Your Majesty will blame you at that time."

Han Yi said: "Taiwei, I am just a sixth-rank small official. Unless there is a handwritten by Your Majesty to prohibit the Taiwei from seeing Zhang Ming, even if you give the subordinate ten courage, the subordinate will not dare to disturb the Taiwei!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "What if I had come a few days ago?"

“It’s always the case.”

Han Yi said, and said again: "But the lower officials thought that if there was no result, the Taiwei would definitely not come here."

Changsun Wuji said with interest: "Why?"

Han Yi said: "A person as proud as the Taiwei must be disdainful of using these methods."

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "I have been the prime minister for decades, but I have seen through it by you, a kid."

"I dare not. I dare not."

Han Yi nodded.

Changsun Wuji said again: "Where do you see, where did I lose this time?"

Han Yi said: "It's too strong to lose."

"Oh? This is strange, I hope to hear it carefully."

"The Taiwei has a huge power, but because the incident suddenly happened, he did not gain the initiative, which made it difficult to take the beginning and end. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, it is reasonable to take a small step back." Han Yi said.

Changsun Wuji looked at Han Yi for a moment and sighed, "Yes! Although the result was unexpected, it was reasonable." He said, "Did you kill someone?"

Han Yi said decisively: "No."

"Where is her?"

"It's not very similar! If it were him, it would never be possible to send a woman, and she would leave so many living things."

"I also know it's not him, I'm asking her."

Han Yi blinked in confusion, suddenly stunned, and said, "She? It's impossible. Actually, I thought about this problem, but how is it possible for her to live in the backyard? She should kill someone and silence her."

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "I know this, but the assassin is a woman, and I can't help but think of her."

Han Yi also frowned and thought, yes! Although I am sure it was not done by Li Zhi, it is impossible to rule out whether it was done by Wu Meiniang. She is my best queen. If she does this, it will not be impossible.

Changsun Wuji's turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a murderous aura and said, "But no matter who did it, I must find the murderer."

The other party was obviously coming for him, and he was so stupid that he would definitely find the murderer.

While talking, the two came to a small courtyard in the southeast corner of Dali Temple.

Han Yi ordered the soldiers who stayed at the door to open the door and said, "Please, please."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Please trouble you."

After saying that, he walked in, came to the house, stood for a moment, and suddenly he sighed softly and said, "Open the door."

"yes!"
