Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Linde Hall.

All officials bowed their heads, raised their tablets forward, and bowed in salute.

Sitting on the dragon bed, Wu Zetian lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on Wu Sansi's red face, knowing that her nephew had been offended again.

However, just bear with the anger. If you can still bear with the anger at this time, you deserve it.

"My dear ministers, now that the war between our Great Zhou and the Turks has ended, it is time to reward the meritorious officials and deal with the aftermath."

"My dear ministers, you may now express your opinions."

Li Cunxi, who was sitting in the back, knew that it was time for him to come out.

At this moment, all the ministers stood still as a mountain.

Li Cunxi walked out of the court and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, I have a document to present to you."

"Bring it up."

Shangguan Wan'er walked down, took the document and presented it to Wu Zetian.

After Wu Zetian glanced through it briefly, she said calmly:

"I have learned the whole story of the Chongzhou battle. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded as usual, and those who have made mistakes will be convicted according to the law."

"You played a great role in this battle. First, you uncovered the traitor Qiu Jing's plan and saved Zhao Wenhui's army. Then you went to the Turks and broke She Ling's plan. Later, you offered a plan to defeat the Khitan and forced the Khitan to voluntarily cease fire and withdraw from Chongzhou. I want to reward you."

Wu Zetian paused and looked at her good nephew Wu Sansi, whose eyes were spitting fire.

"I have ordered the Ministry of Personnel to draft an edict, and Henan Prefecture Governor Li Cunxi is promoted to Henan Prefecture Governor, and is given the title of Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and is also the same official as Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi."

"At the end of the Chongzhou case, Li Cunxi was fully responsible for the thorough investigation of Xiao Qingfang, the leader of the Snake Spirit Rebellion."

"Wu Yanhao was promoted to Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, and served as assistant to Li Cunxi."

"Lu Dayou was promoted to the position of Imperial Counselor and served as Li Cunxi's assistant."

Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou, who had already walked out of the court, hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

It’s really a one-step success.

As expected, if you want to gain credit, you have to follow capable people.

Their eyes were full of expectations for the future.

Although both of them have basically no real power, this is enough.

"Hu Jinghui was promoted to General of the Thousand Oxen Guards, and Li Yuanfang was promoted to Inspecting General of the Thousand Oxen Guards. They will follow Li Cunxi in his tour of the country and must not make any mistakes."

"Right Guard General Wang Xiaojie has made great contributions in defeating the enemy, and is promoted to Champion General."

"Li Kaigu, the general of the right battalion of the Right Guard, and Song Wuji, the general of the front battalion, have repeatedly made military achievements and have been transferred to the Right Jade Guard to serve as generals."

"Yingzhou Governor Zhao Wenhui did not provide relief when disaster struck, and he bullied the Khitan, causing the Khitan to invade the border. He should have been punished, but considering his hard work and great contributions, and his death in battle in Chongzhou, he will not be punished. His body should be collected and sent back to his hometown.

"Su Honghui, deputy general of the Right Guard, is extremely capable. In the battle of Dongxishi Valley, he shot down two Khitan generals with arrows, crushing the Khitan army. He was ordered to go to Yingzhou Governor's Office to take over the position of Yingzhou Governor..."

Li Cunxi, who had already retreated into the court, let out a breath.

He had basically anticipated these rewards.

He even guessed that Song Wuji might enter Youyuqinwei with Li Kaigu.

The only one I didn't guess was Su Honghui.

This guy got a huge bargain this time and soared to the sky. From then on, he was on equal footing with Wang Xiaojie.

but……

This guy's abilities don't seem to be bad. Judging from his abilities and character, he seems to be even better than that reckless man Zhao Wenhui.

After Wu Zetian announced the rewards for these people, she finally came to the real topic of today.

She looked outside the palace door: "His name is Huang Shengyan, Demon Spirit, Shadow."

Chen Yi, the General of the Qianniu Guards who was guarding outside the palace gate, announced the order, and three people from the Inner Guard Palace walked into the Linde Palace.

When the officials saw the appearance of these three people, they were filled with hatred.

Especially those officials who had been whipped by Huang Shengyan with a whip dipped in cold water, their eyes were so fierce that they almost tore Huang Shengyan to pieces.

"Your Highness, I, Huang Shengyan, lead the demons and shadows to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Huang Shengyan was in the middle, with the demon on the left and the shadow on the right, the three of them saluted Wu Zetian together.

"As you all know, the former head of the Inner Guard, Xiao Qingfang, is the leader of the Snake Spirit Rebellion. He is guilty of open rebellion and deserves death."

"I have decided to order Huang Shengyan, the head of the Inner Guards, to take over the position of the chief head of the Inner Guards."

"Also, I promote Yingzi to the position of the head of the Inner Guards. I hope General Yingzi will do his best in the future."

"General Mo Ling, you have followed Li Cunxi for more than two years. You have worked hard and made great contributions. You are now the leader of the cabinet, second only to General Huang Shengyan. In the future, you must carefully help General Huang Shengyan and must not act rashly."

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, the three of them bowed to express their gratitude.

The ministers below began to whisper to each other.

"Huang Shengyan was previously the head of the Inner Guards and was the designated next Grand Head during Xiao Qingfang's time."

"Now, Mo Ling is also the head of the Inner Guard Palace. Could it be that the next generation of Grand Head of the Palace is this person?"

"Old Li, isn't your grandson still unmarried? Hurry up and send him to Li Cunxi."

"What do you mean?"

"Get your grandson a job, so he doesn't have to do nothing all day."

"Go away. How come my grandson has nothing to do? Brother Jianzhi, if you say anything about my grandson again, I will send him to Li Fumu when I go back today. I envy you so much."

Li Cunxi vaguely heard the conversation between Zhang Jianzhi and Li Huaiyuan.

His gaze slowly turned to Mo Ling, and he felt sorry for Fenghuang, who was originally the next Grand Leader of the Inner Guard Palace.

According to the timeline, next year will be the specific year when the miraculous event in Luo River mentioned by Yuan Tiangang will occur.

In other words, Yuan Tiangang will find a way out next year.

Originally, Huang Shengyan was going to die next year, and Phoenix would take over his place.

It now seems that whether Huang Shengyan is dead or alive, Phoenix is ​​unlikely to take over his position.

"From today on, everyone in the Inner Guard must seriously assist Li Cunxi in thoroughly investigating Xiao Qingfang's whereabouts. But if you have any wishes, you must obey them. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the noisy Linde Hall, Wu Zetian issued the last decree of this grand court meeting.

She waved her hand to dismiss three good ministers from the Inner Guard who were loyal to her, and then turned to the ministers.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to discuss?"

Wu Sansi had a dull expression, as if he had not yet recovered from the tragic news that Li Cunxi had been appointed as the governor of Henan Province, the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, and the Prime Minister of Fengge Luantai.

Naturally, he did not think about the things he had been thinking about before coming here, such as trying to please Li Cunxi and asking him to sign a military order.

Di Renjie, Wu Chengsi and Zhang Jianzhi stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty is truly a wise and enlightened ruler. We have nothing to discuss."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Since there is none, then let's withdraw from the court."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."

"Don't forget to wake up my foolish nephew. Looking at his condition, someone who doesn't know would think he has dementia."
