Seeing Wu Zetian coming, Li Zhi immediately patted the position beside him.

Wu Zetian smiled, sat next to Li Zhi and stretched out his little hand to help Li Zhi massage his temples.

"You still know me, my headache is again."

After being massaged by Wu Zetian, Li Zhi was also relaxed physically and mentally, and his eyes were full of comfort.

"Your Majesty, Mei Niang just received a news that there was a sudden epidemic in Shaozhou, and Liu Li, the assassin of Shaozhou, fled without authorization, which led to the spread of the epidemic."

While giving Li Zhi a massage, Wu Zetian told the news he had just received from Li Yanran.

"What do you say? Shaozhou epidemic? Why didn't the Jiannan Provincial Inspector report? And what do the people of the Imperial Observatory do to eat? ”

Li Zhi was also stunned, why didn't anyone report such a big matter to the imperial court?

And where did Wu Zetian get the news?

"The people below Mei Niang found the displaced people from Jiannan Road in Chang'an, and what they learned from their mouths, now the problem in Jiannan Road is very big, and I hope Your Majesty will send someone to investigate thoroughly."

Wu Zetian knew that Li Zhi was smart, and in order to prevent the other party from thinking blindly, she had already thought of a good rhetoric.

"Hmph, these people really deserve to be killed, especially that Liu Li, who immediately asked people to prepare to go south to suppress the epidemic.

In addition, let the Physician's Department immediately dispatch competent doctors to accompany them, and the epidemic in Jiannan Province must not be allowed to spread, which is very important to Datang and cannot be missed. ”

Li Zhi looked anxious, the displaced people have come to Chang'an, it seems that the situation in Jiannan Province is already very serious, if the epidemic is allowed to spread, it will inevitably affect the rule of Datang in Jiannan Province.

The Tang Dynasty plays a vital role in Tubo and Jiannan Road, and there can be no problems there.

"Your Majesty, this Shaozhou epidemic is true nine times out of ten, Mei Niang sent people to find a good cure, there are sages who offer good medicine to cure the epidemic, and doctors can be sent to go with them, and this Shaozhou epidemic will be solved."

Wu Zetian smiled at Li Zhi and said the role of Artemisia annua.

"Okay, Mei Niang deserves to be my lucky star. If this medicine can really solve the epidemic, then it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely reward you and the sage. I wonder who the wise man is. ”

As soon as the news of the epidemic here was obtained, there were sages offering medicine over there, which is really a blessing of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty will know when the time comes."

Sage? There are no sages.

It's the medicine that my precious daughter offered, and there are women who are so carefree.

The next day, when the hundred officials went to court, Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials below with a solemn face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to tell you?"

Looking at the emperor's face, the officials couldn't help but be stunned.

What's the matter today, Your Majesty is like this early in the morning?

Could it be that something is going on?

"I don't speak, it seems that there is no more, I have something to ask you."

Li Zhi directly lined up on the dragon case with one palm, and the hundred officials knelt down one after another, shouting long live.

"I just received the secret protection, there was a big epidemic in Shaozhou, Jiannan Province, and Liu Li, the assassin of Shaozhou, fled directly, causing the epidemic to spread, and the people were ten rooms and nine empty, Zhang Mengshan, this is how your Yushitai supervised the Tang Dynasty for me?"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhang Mengshan was stunned.

Glancing at the few imperial histories around him, a trace of anger flashed in Zhang Mengshan's eyes.

The Shaozhou epidemic, such a major event, even the emperor knows about it, but you, as the imperial historian who oversees the hundred states, don't even know.

"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Mengshan's fault, he failed to perform his duty of picketing a hundred places, and he hopes to be punished."

Zhang Mengshan kowtowed directly to Li Zhi and admitted his mistake to the other party on behalf of Yushitai.

Is it over admitting mistakes?

You imperial historians only stare at this trivial matter in front of you, and you will write a book to scold me if you have nothing to do, and now I have finally caught the handle.

"Reprimand? Are you up to the task? ”

Li Zhihu was stunned and stared at Zhang Mengshan, such a big thing, the punishment is over?

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."

Xu Jingzong glanced at the embarrassed Zhang Mengshan and took a step forward to stand up.

"Say."

Seeing Xu Jingzong, Li Zhi was also stunned.

What are you doing now?

"Your Majesty, the Shaozhou epidemic is so fierce that no one has reported to the imperial court, there must be people who fill their own pockets, officials and officials protect each other, even if Zhang Mengshan is not involved, it is inevitable that the crime of negligence will be avoided, and the entire Yushitai must be thoroughly investigated, but those involved will be severely punished in order to return the Yushitai to justice."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Zhang Mengshan and immediately spoke.

The Imperial Historical Observatory is very important, responsible for supervising the hundred officials, if it can be taken down here, it will be beneficial to the Empress Wu and there will be no harm.

And now that there is a big epidemic in Shaozhou, no one has reported it to Yushitai, which is just a breakthrough.

If he doesn't make some fuss here, then he won't be Xu Jingzong.

Li Zhi frowned, this Xu Jingzong is the person of the Empress Wu, could it be said that this is what Wu Zetian meant?

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi nodded.

"What Xu Qing's family said is extremely true, Yushitai is indeed too disagreeable, Zhang Mengshan is indeed a doctor who has neglected to overlook, can the Qing family have a suitable candidate?"

Empress Wu is a united front with himself, and he is indeed upset when he sees these imperial histories, so it is not a bad thing to take the opportunity to rectify it.

"Gao Zhizhou, a straight bachelor of Hongwenguan, is upright and upright, and he is rigorous in the local area to inquire about the lawsuit in Kentian Prison, and the minister thinks that he is the best candidate to be in charge of the Yushitai, and with him in charge, the Yushitai will inevitably be reborn and contribute to my Datang."

With a sneer on the corner of Xu Jingzong's mouth, he put forward the candidate in his heart.

"Gao Zhizhou, I know this, do you have any opinions?"

Li Zhi glanced at the civil and military forces in front of the hall and said his opinion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Zhizhou is the best candidate."

Zhongshu Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi Li Yifu also stood up and expressed support for Xu Jingzong's decision.

Both of them are adults of Wu Zetian's faction, and he also heard what Xu Jingzong meant, if Gao Zhizhou can really enter the Imperial History Terrace, it will be much easier for them to act in the future.

"Then cut off Zhang Mengshan's position as the imperial historian, promote Zhizhou to the middle of the imperial history, and temporarily lead the imperial history platform."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji is not in the court, the officials of their faction are also leaderless, and they can only let Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu go, and this imperial historian Zhang Mengshan is not welcome, so no one comes out to oppose it.

"The Shaozhou epidemic is urgent, can you have a good plan to deal with it?"

The matter of Yushitai was solved, and the next thing was the epidemic in Shaozhou, but the civil and military officials shook their heads one after another, and no one knew what to do.

"It's really good that no one can do anything wrong with a small epidemic."

Li Zhi slapped it with another palm, and the table was trembling, and the hundred officials knelt on the ground again and shouted long live.

"Fortunately, there are sages who offer medicine to cure the epidemic, otherwise, pointing to you, the people of Datang don't know how much suffering and how much difficulty they have to suffer."

This will Li Zhi also have to admire Wu Zetian's luck, not only can he know about the epidemic, but also the sages offer treasures, which is really the lucky star of my Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty's destiny belongs, and there is a sage born to offer treasures, but I don't know who this sage is? Let me pay a visit later. ”

When Xu Jingzong heard that a sage was offering a treasure, he also patted it directly.

"You don't need to know who the sage is, now I just want to know which adult dares to go to the epidemic area and patrol the sky to quell the epidemic?"

Li Zhi glared at Xu Jingzong, this sage was found by Empress Wu, how do I know who it is.

The ministers also visited, where will I find someone for you.

"This...."

Hearing that they were going to go to the epidemic area on behalf of the Sky Patrol, all the officials were stunned.

Go to the epidemic area to administer the service, just kidding.

Let's not say whether this sage is true or not, even if he really has the medicine to cure the service, he will go to Shaozhou thousands of miles away, in case he is infected with the epidemic, he will not explain his life.

The hundred officials were dumbfounded, and the huge Jinluan Hall also fell silent.

"This is my humerus, this is my Tang Dynasty's pillar of power, a small epidemic scared you like this? Do you want me to go south to Lingnan Road in person to take charge of the epidemic? ”

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Li Zhi's fire rose again, this is my good courtier of the Tang Dynasty, a model of self-proclaimed loyalty and patriotism.

Don't you usually have a word? How can you say that you will be dumb if you go to the service?

"Your Majesty, the minister has recommended a suitable candidate."
