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

Chapter 91 Di Renjie ascends to the position of Prime Minister

"Your Majesty, there is actually someone more suitable for this kind of thing than me!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian frowned directly: "Once this matter is leaked, countless moths from Yongliang and even the Western Regions will hear the news and hide! Now, I can only trust you!"

Yang Yanzhang had never expected Wu Zetian's brain circuit.

Logically speaking, since the people around her were impeached by Yang Yanzhang, Wu Zetian had to seriously think about Yang Yanzhang's intentions, right?
But now it seems that Wu Zetian does not seem to be worried about this.

"The Queen Mother trusts me, so I am naturally grateful. But I must say frankly, these moths are nothing compared to food!"

"Nonsense! No matter how much food you have, how can it get into the hands of the people when these people are causing trouble down there?"

Yang Yanzhang waved his hand: "That's not what you said. You can't kill all the moths. Moreover, killing these people will not greatly improve the Queen Mother's prestige. Only food can push the Queen Mother's prestige to a higher level! The most important thing is that , when it comes to food, the merits will last forever, and the benefits will last forever! The Queen Mother will be recorded in the annals of history, and will be admired by future generations forever!"

Wu Zetian's original bad mood was mostly relieved after hearing this, and most of her original discomfort was gone, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Yang Yanzhang, you are really eloquent. No wonder everyone around me has been sent away by you! Anyway, you have killed many of my people. I want to see it today. You are going to stuff me. What kind of thing is coming in!"

Yang Yanzhang smiled bitterly: "I may not do things out of public motives, but I have never thought of harming the Queen Mother! The ones I want to recommend this time are real wise men. If not, please take my head off the Queen Mother!"

"Who are you directly? I will decide whether you are virtuous or not."

"Actually, this person is Di Renjie, who was previously demoted as the governor of Fuzhou!"

Wu Zetian's face suddenly showed an intriguing look.

"If I remember correctly, it was Di Renjie who worked with you to investigate the Yuan Li case, right?"

"Exactly! From that time on, I knew that he was a wise man with both wisdom and a sense of justice!"

Wu Zetian was stunned: "It's just a case, but you still have a sense of justice? Of course I don't believe it. But..."

After a pause, Wu Zetian smiled again: "Since it is the person you recommended, I am still willing to give it a try. But we must set a rule first."

"What rules?" Seeing her calculating look again, Yang Yanzhang suddenly felt bad.

"The rule is, if Di Renjie doesn't agree with me, I will punish you."

"Ah? Then how will the Queen Mother be punished?" "Of course you are here to serve me," Wu Zetian said with an even brighter smile, "Of course, I now know that you have great powers and should stay in the court to work. So, You only need to serve me for one night."

Yang Yanzhang looked confused, thinking to himself that this shameless person, how come he never strays from his profession and can be involved in everything he does?
After being speechless for a while, Yang Yanzhang gave up and said, "I dare to bet on my own honor and disgrace. Di Renjie must be a wise and capable minister! As long as the Queen Mother does not violate her conscience, I dare say that he will be able to get things done!"

"Repaying honor and disgrace... It is your honor to serve me, understand? What can you lose in just one night? Huh?"

After Wu Zetian complained for a while, and saw that Yang Yanzhang was even more speechless, she stopped rambling: "Okay, I know this! In fact, I just scared you. Di Renjie has been an official for many years, and he has been evaluated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs It has always been good. I also knew that this was a talent when I went back to the court to report on my duties. Now that you have recommended it and the position of Nayan is vacant, I will simply transfer him back to serve as Nayan. However, you must remember I owe you a favor!"

"Favor? What are you doing here? Why do you owe the Queen Mother a favor?" Yang Yanzhang's confused face became even more confused.

Wu Zetian chuckled: "I listened to your suggestion and decided to re-appoint Di Renjie. What is this but a favor? If it were anyone else, their words would not be so effective."

Yang Yanzhang was anxious at that time: "No, I am not recommending talented people for myself, but to help the Queen Mother do things! I am thinking of the Queen Mother, shouldn't it be that the Queen Mother owes me a favor?"

Wu Zetian immediately made a serious face: "What? I owe you? Yang Yanzhang, have you forgotten that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers? It is only right for you to do things for me, how dare you say anything about me Owe you? Do you know that I will punish you now?"

"Then Queen Mother, please treat the ministers quickly. Anyway, the ministers are public-spirited and work for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is always trying to trick the ministers. The minister seems to be alive, but in fact he is almost dead."

"Huh, what you say is so miserable, isn't it true that you live in a mansion, marry a lovely wife, call the shots in court, and live a happier life than me?" Wu Zetian didn't believe Yang Yanzhang's words at all, but after complaining, he didn't go into details, He drove Yang Yanzhang out directly.

"Di Renjie..." Wu Zetian ordered someone to find Di Renjie's related files and read them for a while, nodding frequently, with eyes full of appreciation.

"Yang Yanzhang is indeed right. This Di Renjie is indeed a talent, and he is quite upright! It was he who impeached Zhang Guangfu for his random behavior in Yuzhou this year! However, Zhang Guangfu had great influence in the court at that time. In order to consolidate the situation between the government and the opposition, this palace naturally Zhang Guangfu will not be dissatisfied because of little Di Renjie. But now..."

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked strange.

"Yang Yanzhang cut off many of the capable people around me. Although it helped to improve my reputation, it must have given some people the illusion that I regretted my past actions and had plans to return to power! And Yang Yanzhang , they must also be considered by them as an important figure in counterattacking this palace! In this case, this must be done like this!"

Soon, Zhang Guangfu, who had just been transferred to the Imperial Palace for a few days, received an imperial edict in the court.

"...Internal history Zhang Guangfu, when he was in Yuzhou, allowed his subordinates to rob innocent people and use civilian heads to claim military glory. He deserves to be punished! In view of his past merits, he will be given a lighter punishment as appropriate and will be sent to Lingnan..."

Zhang Guangfu was so speechless that he fell to the ground, but before he could defend himself, Wu Zetian spoke personally: "Zhang Guangfu, you deceived me so badly! In the battle of Yuzhou, you pretended to lead the army with the heads of civilians, and the governor of Yuzhou, Di Renjie, impeached you. But out of trust in you, the palace demoted him to Fuzhou! Now, although I have punished you, I still have to give Di Renjie an explanation, lest the government and the public think that I cannot distinguish right from wrong!"

As Wu Zetian finished speaking, the eunuch announced another edict. This time, it was the edict appointing Di Renjie to be promoted to Nayan.
