As for the matter of promoting Shen Zheng, until the court was adjourned, no officials could do anything to the emperor.

The main thing is that there is nothing wrong with Shen Zheng.

You said she had been in office for a short time, but the emperor said that in the one year she had been in office, she had achieved more than others in their entire lives.

You said that she did not rank high in the imperial examination that year. The emperor then asked all the officials, how many of you are the real top scorers in the imperial examination?

In the end, all the officials were speechless, but they still did not dare to say that Shen Zheng was a girl.

——At this point, what’s the point of fighting over boys or girls!

Whenever they dared to speak, the emperor would ask them, which male official in the palace could compare to him?

What's the most important thing?

It’s Shen Zheng who has no relatives!

Not to mention using the faults of Shen Zheng's relatives and friends to attack them.

For example, I don’t even know where my relatives and friends are…

But the emperor did not issue a direct decree. In the end, he said, "I have my own considerations," and Eunuch Hong shouted at the top of his voice to adjourn the court.

The officials who were kneeling on the ground supported themselves on their knees and climbed up. They looked at each other, and were reluctant to leave.

Ji Benchang squatted on the ground and pushed Yue Zhenchuan several times. Seeing that the other party still did not respond, he called Lu Shuling again.

On this side, Lu Shuling was looking at Yue Zhenchuan, and on the other side, General Lin looked at the emperor eagerly, "Your Majesty, didn't we agree to test your eyesight after court today..."

The glasses that Lord Xiao Shen promised him have not yet been found!

The emperor was still a little angry, but when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Why didn't you say a few words for me just now?"

General Lin glared: "I said so!"

He even watched his saliva fall on Prime Minister Cui's head.

He pulled Lu Botang forward, "Man'er can testify. I was just thinking that after I test my eyesight, I will go to the Ministry of War to have tea with Lord Guo..."

The Minister of War Guo Zhongshu had not walked far when he stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

This old general is not easy to deal with.

If the other party really brings Lu Manzi to have tea with me...

When he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

He had also knelt just now, but in the final analysis, he himself had not yet made up his mind and was not completely opposed to Shen Zheng's appointment as the assistant manager of the six ministries.

I just think it's inappropriate to have a little girl running around in the Ministry of War.

But when I think about the steel and cement made by the other side...

Does he really want to be an ungrateful person?

"Master Guo!" Just as he was thinking, General Lin and Lu Botang came to him and asked him as if inviting him, "Would you like to have your eyesight tested together?"

This is blatant bribery!

Guo Zhongshu raised his eyes and looked into the hall.

The emperor, the Earl of Yongning and others were all looking at him.

As his eyes moved slightly, he saw Shen Zheng, who was standing there looking at him with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Don't blame me for not telling you..." On the other side, General Lin leaned towards him and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Shen has more good things in her mind than just steel and cement. In the future, you may have to point to her in the Ministry of War."

Guo Zhongshu's nose twisted when he heard this.

His Ministry of War is relying on this little girl to make a living?

What a joke!

Ah--

Is he missing that little thing?

He wanted to run away, but the emperor in the palace tossed the cement block in his hand, which made him think of...

Cement city defense.

There was silence for a long time.

Finally, he puffed out his cheeks and muttered, "Then... let's test it."

Lu Botang's eyes lit up, and without General Lin's instructions, he hugged Guo Zhongshu and fell back.

Guo Zhongshu was half-willing and half-reluctant. Seeing that the little girl in the hall was still looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He tried to make excuses for himself, "But my eyesight is actually quite good. I don't need glasses..."

"Oh, whether you need it or not, just treat it as fun." Lu Botang almost used his armpits to carry him into the hall.

The dozen or so people who had just been standing in the hall and openly supporting Shen Zheng all stayed.

These dozen people obtained the "priority right to wear glasses" for this one time only, and they were waiting happily in the hall.

Except for Shen Xingjian, Wei Que and a few others, she didn't know the other officials, so Yu Shizhang introduced them to her one by one and led her to call people.

Among them were Sima Huai, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Wei Xiyu, the Director of the Dushui Supervisor.

Shen Zheng heard from Liang Fu that the three courts had been busy in recent days regarding the assassination of her and Yu Shizhang, and the Dali Temple Minister was the main force behind it.

If we want to catch the murderer, we have to rely on him.

In Shen Zheng's eyes, this man was like the most powerful constable in the entire Great Zhou, which made her couldn't help but respect him.

The emperor had not rested for two nights and was now quite tired. After giving a few instructions, he left the palace, but left Eunuch Hong and Yi Qun behind.

Liang Fu had already learned all the skills from Shen Zheng, so he took the initiative to take over the job of testing eyesight. When Eunuch Hong, who had changed into casual clothes, saw that Shen Zheng was free, he walked over in small steps.

"Lord Shen." He still had a daisy-like smile on his face. "His Majesty said that you didn't rest much last night, so he asked me to take you back home as soon as possible, and the crops you promised him at night..."

"Oh——" Shen Zheng reacted and said she would take two sweet potatoes to show the emperor.

But right now...

She looked at Yu Shizhang.

Yu Shizhang understood what he meant and said directly to Sima Huai and others: "My lords, I feel a little unwell. On the way back to Shangjing, Lord Shen and I have not slept for several days..."

Sima Huai and the others knew what Shen Zheng meant. They didn't even have time to test Shen Zheng's eyesight, so they quickly asked Shen Zheng and the others to go back home to rest.

Shen Zheng and the other person left the Golden Palace with Eunuch Hong, and Yi Qun and a few others followed closely behind.

When standing on the ladder to heaven and looking down, Shen Zheng suddenly understood why so many people were vying to step onto this ladder to heaven.

——Too small.

Whether it is the magnificent palace or the broad ladder leading to heaven, people are made to look so small.

It seems that only by standing here can one break free from the shackles of fate, and it seems that only by calling to the sky here will the sky respond.

Shen Zheng exhaled all the foul air in her chest and followed Yu Shizhang's footsteps.

Yu Shizhang was like a responsible tour guide, explaining the structure of the outer court to her: "After going down this ladder to heaven, the Tai'an Field is in front."

Shen Zheng looked at the square in front of him, which was larger than a football field, and sighed in his heart.

Yu Shizhang said: "Tai'an Stadium can accommodate 10,000 people. Even if all the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty come together, it can accommodate them."

From his words, Shen Zheng seemed to see the scene of a court gathering of tens of thousands of people.

The emperor is high above, and his ministers are as small as ants.

How shocking.

Before they knew it, they had completed the ladder to heaven and stepped onto Tai'an Field.

The Golden Palace with its double-eaved hipped roof and seven-step brackets gradually faded into the distance.

When they reached the Suzaku Gate, Shen Zheng couldn't help but look back, and then followed Yu Shizhang out of the palace.

"The carriage is already waiting outside." Eunuch Hong smiled and led the two to the side. "My two lords, please follow me. But will you go to the Earl's Mansion first?"

"Let's go to Tongbao Inn." Yu Shizhang said.
