Chapter 9 Almost Misunderstood by Colleagues

"It's fifth watch!"

With the sound of gongs and the eunuch's gentle calls, the palace became agitated again.

The maids who had been standing with Yang Yanzhang all night retired to rest, and another group of maids came in to take care of Wu Zetian.

"Yang Yanzhang!"

The first thing Wu Zetian did when she got up was this.

Yang Yanzhang's original tiredness disappeared immediately, and he responded loudly: "I'm not asleep!"

Wu Zetian inside immediately laughed, and her smile was meaningful.

"Come here! Wait for Yang Yushi to wash up, and ask her to go to court with me later."

So, Yang Yanzhang was taken to the side room, washed up by several palace maids, and then followed Wu Zetian to the Mingtang Hall.

The ministers of the DPRK had already stood up, and when they saw Yang Yanzhang and Wu Zetian coming in from the back side door together, they were all stunned.

The leaders of the three provinces and six departments looked at me and I looked at you, with disappointment in their eyes.

Even the people at Yushitai were in a state of confusion at this time, unable to figure out what was going on.

Yang Yanzhang also felt that something was wrong at this moment. The gazes from the officials made him feel like a light on his back.

After finally getting around to the line of supervisory censors, a sinister-looking fellow censor next to him immediately raised his hand towards him.

"Yang Yushi is a good man. He defeated Xue Huaiyi yesterday, and today he is favored, admired, and admired by the Queen Mother! I would like to ask Yang Yushi to support me more in the future. I will definitely be grateful!"

Di Renjie, who was not far away, also looked at Yang Yanzhang intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that he had two dark circles under his eyes and a tired look on his face, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian showed a proud look through the curtain: "How bold are you to refuse my invitation! Now that all the officials have seen you coming out of the palace early in the morning, they will naturally think that you served me last night. .”

"I am a man of mine! Yesterday, there were not so many people speaking for you, fighting for you, and fighting against me for you? I want to see if there is anyone who can speak for you again if you commit another crime in the future!"

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian became clever again and suddenly said: "Yang Yushi has been tired all night, give him a seat!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention all the officials froze, even Emperor Li Dan almost dropped his jaw in shock!
"My mother is playing more and more openly, and her courage is getting bigger and bigger! How can I say this in front of all the officials! I feel so ashamed!"

Li Dan complained feebly, then lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at the ministers.

However, Yang Yanzhang was even more confused at this time and looked at Wu Zetian in astonishment, dumbfounded.

If you want to refute it, you have indeed worked hard all night, so don’t refute it. Isn’t this even more misunderstood by your colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty?

But I can’t say clearly that I didn’t do anything with the Queen Mother...

"Yang Yushi, please sit down."

A familiar voice sounded, and Yang Yanzhang looked back, only to see that the person who brought the stool for him was Shangguan Wan'er. Seeing the strange look in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, he knew that she had also misunderstood him.

The speechless Yang Yanzhang was even more speechless at this time. Looking at the bench, his heart surged. Knowing that he had to sit down, he completely confirmed the suspicion of the officials.But Wu Zetian deliberately continued to exert pressure: "Yang Yanzhang, I will give you a seat. Are you going to reject my offer?"

As she said this, Wu Zetian laughed out loud, obviously in a good mood after teasing Yang Yanzhang.

But it was this laugh that made Yang Yanzhang see the flaw!

As a result, he suddenly felt relaxed and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaguan just guarded the palace gate for the Queen Mother all night, how could he be so tired that he had to sit down to go to court? The Queen Mother's kindness was appreciated by Xiaguan, but this bench was still reserved for him. Let’s be a destined person in the future.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers really changed!
Even Shangguan Wan'er, who had just walked up to Wu Zetian, suddenly brightened up and looked at Yang Yanzhang with a satisfied smile.

Di Renjie was the smartest one and immediately realized that Wu Zetian did this deliberately and wanted to isolate Yang Yanzhang. However, he did not expect that Wu Zetian talked too much and Yang Yanzhang found an opportunity to clarify!
"This Yang Yushi not only has a sense of justice, but also has such a flexible mind! Rare, rare! Maybe I should walk around with him more in the future."

At this time, Wu Zetian also realized that her cleverness was misled by her cleverness. She overplayed her game and was counterattacked by Yang Yanzhang. She couldn't help but gnashed her teeth in anger.

"This little thief is really hateful! If you don't want to sit down, you won't sit down. What's more, you want to leave it to someone who is destined to be with you! Isn't this a deliberate attempt to humiliate me?"

"Okay, Yang Yanzhang, you wait for me! Sooner or later, I will grab your pigtails and slowly torture you into submission!"

Yang Yanzhang also knew that if he did not fall into the trap prepared by Wu Zetian today, Wu Zetian, as the superior, would definitely not give up and would dig more holes to deal with him in the future.

But being an official means taking it one step at a time. If you can protect yourself today, protect yourself. Who knows what will happen tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about so much.

Moreover, after clearing his name just now, the officials were obviously much more friendly towards him. They no longer looked at him like a sharp sword when he first came in. If something goes wrong in the future, the officials will definitely come to the rescue again. .

"Hey, there is no movement in the system today. It seems that there is no need to impeach people."

This is also good news. Although he is a censor, it is best if he can avoid offending anyone by impeachment, especially when he is being targeted by Wu Zetian or even Shangguan Wan'er.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Seeing Yang Yanzhang rejecting Wu Zetian's kindness, he immediately became impatient and wanted to seize this opportunity to flatter Wu Zetian.

"Queen Mother! I want to impeach the censor Yang Yanzhang!"

An urgent voice sounded next to Yang Yanzhang. He turned around and saw that this was the guy who complimented him when he came in and asked Yang Yanzhang to support him?
What a mad dog to turn and bite so quickly!

Wu Zetian above was slightly surprised: "Come Junchen? Why do you want to impeach him? Tell me!"

Yang Yanzhang was shocked. It turned out that this mad dog was Lai Junchen!

Lai Junchen is a famous cruel official in history. As long as he targets the person, he will list a crime and then torture him until he is beaten!

Although it was only the Yongchang period, many people had been killed by him. Even Yang Yanzhang had repeatedly heard people secretly cursing this person in the market.

Although Junchen was not Wu Zetian's friend, he was highly valued by Wu Zetian because he could figure out Wu Zetian's thoughts and help Wu Zetian attack the opposition!

Yang Yanzhang wanted to protect himself wisely, but when he was targeted by an insidious and vicious dog like Lai Junchen, he was afraid that he would never have a stable life again.

"If a tiger doesn't show its power, it will be regarded as a sick cat! I want to see what you can do to impeach me! If you can't defeat me, then from today on, I, Yang Yanzhang, will definitely try my best to defeat you!"
