Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 15 Sorry, I want to impeach myself

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yang Yanzhang decided decisively at that time that he would not be able to serve in Luantai even if he was killed!

Moreover, our own system is designed for impeachment, and it will be difficult to use it without Luantai.

But Wu Zetian had a clear view of his expression. When she saw that Yang Yanzhang clearly understood her intentions and showed signs of rejection, Wu Zetian suddenly threatened him!

"Yang Yanzhang, you have rejected me many times. This time, if you dare to refuse again, you must think clearly about the consequences!"

When the ministers heard this, they all thought thoughtfully: It turns out that Yang Yushi has rejected the Queen Mother many times!
So Wei Xuantong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately shook his head slightly, his eyes full of pity: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. It's really difficult for Yang Yushi! But it's no wonder that for such an outstanding person, the Queen Mother is naturally favored!"

Yang Yanzhang was also hesitant at this time. He refused Wu Zetian's invitation to have sex, and refused to compromise with Xue Huaiyi and Lai Junchen. Now it seems really unjustifiable if he even refuses a promotion.

But the problem is, this Luantai is really not accessible.

Although he has received a god-level reward, is not afraid of poison, and has extraordinary skills, there is a saying that goes well, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

Being by Wu Zetian's side every day, there's no guarantee that one day she'll get caught accidentally!

After thinking hard for a moment, Yang Yanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Queen Mother, I want to impeach myself!"

Wu Zetian's face suddenly turned dark!
How could she not know what Yang Yanzhang meant?
This is to impeach yourself and avoid promotion!
"Yang Yanzhang! You don't want to drink wine as a penalty if you don't drink the toast! I have such good intentions, how dare you refuse like this?"

Wu Zetian asked angrily.

Yang Yanzhang looked confused: "What did the Queen Mother mean by this? I don't understand! I just suddenly remembered that I was really rude when I contradicted the Queen Mother the day before yesterday, so I just wanted to impeach myself. I had no other meaning."

"Then you don't need to impeach yourself. I tell you clearly, I don't mind!" Wu Zetian felt that her emotions had fluctuated too much in the past two days. It was like she was angry just now, and now she immediately felt bad. Yang Yanzhang's wishful thinking made him feel very proud and relieved.

Di Renjie, who was still admiring Yang Yanzhang's witty response, was also confused at this time: Brother, the Queen Mother is really chasing you fiercely, using all possible means!
However, Yang Yanzhang has completely calmed down. It doesn't matter if Wu Zetian doesn't mind. The most important thing is that he doesn't mind!
"The Queen Mother doesn't mind. That's because the Queen Mother is generous and benevolent. However, as ministers, you should be on guard against minor mistakes. If you find your own mistakes, you must reflect on them in time! I am a supervisory censor, and I have the responsibility of supervising all officials. If I can't If you are strict with yourself, how can you impeach others? Queen Mother, please forgive me and give me some punishment!"

Wu Zetian gritted her teeth, feeling that it was hard to refute!
However, Wu Zetian was not in a hurry, and instead laughed: "Punishment? Okay, how about exempting me from this month's salary?"

Yang Yanzhang's expression suddenly froze!
Are you kidding me?
I've worked hard to earn that little salary, and you're actually joking about this?

So Yang Yanzhang threatened seriously: "I will accept the Queen Mother's punishment wholeheartedly. In the future, I will definitely encourage myself to impeach a few more people to get rid of the traitors in the court for the Queen Mother!" "You!" Wu Zetian pointed at Yang Yanzhang, and she also Unexpectedly, Yang Yanzhang dared to threaten her when she said she would not give her salary!
Although he was angry, he had no excuse to kill Yang Yanzhang and dismissed him from office. He had not made any mistakes, so in the end he had no choice but to compromise: "I just told you a joke, why should I fine you a salary?"

Di Renjie listened for a while and finally understood: It seems that Yang Yushi has not surrendered, otherwise the Queen Mother would not go to such lengths to force him to submit!In this case, I have to help him!
So Di Renjie saw that the two people were fighting at a deadlock, so he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Queen Mother, I have something to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"Say it quickly!" Wu Zetian was being troubled by Yang Yanzhang and couldn't get off the stage. She guessed that Di Renjie was coming to rescue her, and she was overjoyed.

"Since Yang Yushi is determined to impeach him, I think the Queen Mother should help Yang Yushi and set an example for all officials in our court! The Queen Mother originally wanted to support Yang Yushi and let him serve as Luantai Sheren. If she wants to punish him, why not If the merits and demerits are equal, we should not promote Yang Yushi and let him continue to serve in Yushitai."

Although Wu Zetian was a little reluctant, she almost shot herself in the foot just now. Now she was determined not to force Yang Yanzhang in front of all the officials, so she immediately nodded and agreed to Di Renjie's proposal.

Wei Xuantong, the Minister of Staff, also saw the clues at this time and realized that although Yang Yanzhang was extremely tired, he probably did not work hard for Wu Zetian.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhang was so determined to refuse Wu Zetian's coercion and inducement, Wei Xuantong felt that Yang Yanzhang was a figure and wanted to do something.

"Your Majesty, after all, Yang Yushi has meritorious service in the impeachment. If you do not reward the merits, wouldn't it be easy for others to criticize you? I am thinking, isn't the Yushi Zhongcheng vacant? With Yang Yushi's high integrity, it may be good for him to serve as the Yushi Zhongcheng in the future. ?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Junchen, who was demoted to the supervisory censor yesterday, suddenly became anxious!
"No! The Empress Dowager Mingjian! The hierarchy of the Censor's Platform is very strict. Above the small supervisory censor, there are also the imperial censors and censors in the palace! Yang Yanzhang has crossed three levels in a row. How can his colleagues on the censor's platform be subdued?"

Wei Xuantong said categorically: "The positions in the imperial court have always been occupied by the capable. Only mediocre people will climb up the ranks step by step based on their qualifications! Of course, people like you may not know that Jiang Shang is a pariah." Once you use fishing, you will become an important minister of the Prime Minister!"

Lai Junchen was originally a scoundrel in the market, and when Wei Xuantong told him the truth, he became furious. However, he also knew that he was no better than before, and even Wu Zetian could not protect him, so he could only swallow his anger and acquiesce in Wei Xuantong's contempt.

However, Lai Junchen has always been good at stirring up rumors and framed accusations, and now he naturally has to use his expertise and refuses to let Yang Yanzhang ride on his head.

"Queen Mother, Yang Yanzhang has merit and should be promoted, but all the officials in the court can see clearly that this person has repeatedly contradicted the Queen Mother and rejected her kindness. If such a person can be reused and promoted, what will happen to the officials in the world? Aren't we all going to follow suit? If all the officials are rude to the Queen Mother, how will the Queen Mother deal with herself in the future?"

Wu Zetian's expression suddenly changed and she narrowed her eyes.

The officials' hearts sank when they heard this, because although Lai Junchen was obviously instigating, it had to be said that these words did have a great warning significance for Wu Zetian.

It's okay for Yang Yanzhang to frequently oppose her. If more and more ministers oppose her every day, she will not be far away from being overthrown!
After thinking for a while, Wu Zetian's heart gradually became clear.
