In the imperial garden, the breeze was blowing, Zhou Zhi walked slowly in the garden, although it was sunny, but her heart was a gloomy mist, footsteps sounded, and a black shadow flashed: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in Lining City, saying that Li Jianqing is the illegitimate son of His Majesty and Li Kun, and Li Kun turned into a jade to ring the Li River just to warn you to return to the Li family, and the people who went to the Shen Mansion to give gifts have already been able to line up at the gate of the city."

Zhou Zhi stopped: "Then what should Shen Zhitang do?" ”

Ying Wei said: "Lord Shen is not in the mansion, Mrs. Shen does not accept gifts, does not drive people away, only leaves them to chat at home"

Zhou Zhi sneered: "It's really difficult for them to be able to use such three indiscriminate means."

Zhou Zhi waved his hand, and the shadow guard disappeared immediately, and she slowly sat on the bench in the Jiaoting, and an attendant walked quickly in front of her

Zhou Zhidao: "Go and call Zhang Mingwen, a member of the Zhongshu House."

Two quarters of an hour passed, Zhang Mingwen walked briskly and knelt on his knees: "Minister Zhang Mingwen see Your Majesty~"

Zhou Zhi waved his hand: "Get up!" ”

Zhang Mingwen slowly stood up: "Your Majesty Xie"

Zhou Zhi nodded: "There are a few things you have to write down: first, Li Zhilian is the daughter of the first emperor Li Hong and Empress Xiao, who was sent to Liangyi Mountain to cultivate when she was young, and now she is an adult, and she has solved my stubborn illness, and she is named the eldest princess, and she is canonized on an auspicious day."

Zhang Mingwen was stunned: "Your Majesty, the canonization of the princess is a royal event, the title of the princess needs to be drafted by the Cabinet Scholar, and the book needs to be drafted by the Hanlin Academy, why is it so hasty......"

Zhou Zhiyi waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more!" ”

Although Zhang Mingwen was full of suspicions, he had to say: "Yes~"

Zhou Zhi continued: "Second, Zhou Cheng, the son of the Zhou family, behaves Zhou Zheng and is crowned the king of Zhou Yang."

Zhang Mingwen was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for a foreign surname to be a king in southern Xinjiang!" ”

Zhou Zhi interrupted him and said sharply: "Nanjiang is now surnamed Zhou, not Li~"

Zhang Mingwen's surprise could not be described in words, "plop~" knelt on the ground: "The minister lost his words~"

Zhou Zhi sighed: "You go to draw up the decree, and then inform the cabinet scholars and the Ministry of Rites."

Zhang Mingwen trembled and said, "The minister obeys the order"

The jade corpse that was recognized as Li Kun in Dali Temple, the jade had all been disassembled, and the two human skins were placed together, and they said: "Those jade stones were loaded back later, and they were already very loose when we took them out!" ”

Dali Temple Zheng Liu Wen asked in surprise: "Do you mean that Yang Tao took them out last night and put them back again?" ”

He nodded: "The fluorescent human skin on the left has good skin elasticity, and it is no more than twenty years old."

Liu Wen didn't believe it: "This, how is this possible!" ”

Shen Zhitang stopped Liu Wen with a look in his eyes, and said to him, "You go on." ”

He continued: "The skin on the right is loose, about fifty years old, and there is a blood-colored bug in both corpses."

Frowning eyebrows, he asked, "Is it possible that the corpse on the left has been carefully processed, so it is more elastic?"

He shook his head and said: "It's almost impossible to do this, and the one on the left except for the head, the rest should be women's skin, but there is no basis for it."

Li Zhilian stepped forward and said, "Can you show me those bugs?" ”

Surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a beautiful girl in the autopsy room, and he was stunned for a while before he handed over the blood-colored insects collected from the corpse

Shen Zhitang said: "We just found a skeleton from somewhere else, you can see if we can restore them"

He took the bones brought from Yang Tao's house and studied them

On the street from Ningcheng, a team of forbidden troops came to Pegasus, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed to the gate of Dali Temple, and the guards shouted loudly to strangle their mounts

The general of the forbidden army led by him jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the door of Dali Temple and shouted: "Where is Lord Shen?" ”

The guards replied loudly: "Lord Shen is in the autopsy room~"

After a while, the leader of the forbidden army came to the door of the autopsy room, bowed down and saluted: "Lord Shen~ Your Majesty declares that you will enter the palace quickly"

Li Jianqing and Li Zhilian glanced at each other, stepped forward and stood behind Shen Zhitang

Shen Zhitang nodded and said, "Please ask the general to restore the emperor, and just say that I will go to the audience as soon as I explain the matter here."

The general bowed and said, "Yes." He looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has heard about it~"

Shen Zhitang hurriedly said: "General Xie reminds"

The general clasped his hands and arched: "Humble resignation!" ”

Li Zhilian and Li Jianqing on the side didn't know what to say, but just looked at Shen Zhitang worriedly

Shen Zhitang said with a smile: "Don't go back to your house for a while, sit here or go shopping elsewhere."

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "Zhilian and Senior Brother will take these insects to the Zhou Mansion to ask Nong Qi to see if he can see if he can do it."

Shen Zhitang exclaimed: "Nong Qi is in the Zhou Mansion? ”

Li Zhilian said: "Zhou Que, the second young master of the Zhou Mansion, is a friend of Zhipi, so please ask Nong Qi to take a look."

Shen Zhitang nodded and said, "That's fine~"

As soon as Shen Zhitang stepped out of the autopsy room, Li Jianqing couldn't help but shout: "Teacher~ Is it really okay?" ”

Shen Zhitang smiled: "It's okay~"

In the imperial study, Zhou Zhi's face was pale, and the folds in his hands kept shaking

The cabinet scholars, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and others standing below each held their breath and looked at the emperor

There was silence in the study, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and the atmosphere was extremely tense

Outside the door, Zhang Mingwen kept walking back and forth like an ant on a hot pot

As soon as he saw Shen Zhitang, he jumped forward and grabbed Shen Zhitang's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Shen~ something is wrong."

Shen Zhitang exclaimed: "Master Zhang, what's wrong, why are you so panicked?" ”

Zhang Mingwen just wanted to speak, but he heard Zhou Zhi's stern question from the imperial study: "Why, I can't seal my own nephew, right?" ”

Shen Zhitang raised his head in shock, Zhang Mingwen trembled, sighed lightly, and stretched out his hand to point to the imperial study

Shen Zhitang nodded, and said loudly: "Minister Shen Zhitang is waiting for the order!" ”

The wrestlers in the door sang: "Shen Zhitang is here!" ”

Shen Zhitang walked into the study, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Minister Shen Zhitang knocks to see Your Majesty"

Zhou Zhi turned around: "Get up" looked at the few people standing down, his face was like a layer of frost, and he said coldly: "I want to canonize Li Zhilian as the eldest princess, what does Shen Qing think?" ”

Shen Zhitang looked at Zhou Zhi's face, and then looked sideways at several ministers with solemn faces around him: "Zhilian is the daughter of the first emperor Li Hong and Empress Xiao, and she should be canonized......"

Zhou Zhi looked at Shen Zhitang and said, "My nephew Zhou Cheng, what do you think?" ”

Shen Zhitang looked up at Zhou Zhi suddenly, and said for a long time: "The posture of a gentleman"

Zhou Zhi nodded: "Is that King Zhou Yang good?" ”

Shen Zhitang was taken aback, he understood why these ministers were standing here: "Zhou Cheng has good conduct and both talent and learning, but after all, he has not yet entered the official career, and I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public." His father, Zhou Keyan, has been managing the forbidden army and the defense of the capital for a long time, so it is better to canonize Lord Zhou as the king first."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zhi looked at Shen Zhitang and sneered: "I will consider it."
