Li Bai smiled and said, "Is there any problem with my outfit?"

"No... I met the emperor, Lord Li..."

"It's okay, I believe that with the emperor's broad mind, I would not have the same knowledge as Li." Li Bai smiled.

"Okay! Then Lord Li, please follow me into the sedan chair and enter the palace!"

Li Bai nodded, his hairstyle was a little unruly and his clothes were a little messy.

Before entering the palace, he had already written a letter and placed it on the table. This was left for Yang Yuhuan, asking Yang Yuhuan to hint to him about Bai Xue, Xu Shilin and others.

Wu Zetian, this is a decisive and wise and powerful queen in the world.

Once she decides something, it is difficult for someone to change her mind. She can even say what she decides, and she can even try her best to do whatever she wants.

What Li Bai wanted was Bai Xue, Xu Shilin and others to cooperate with him. He really didn't want the "Chinese Dictionary" to be published in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, he had already agreed to Liu Chan in advance that he would leave the "Chinese Dictionary" to Shu Kingdom for publishing a book, which was not a matter of interest.

But Shu Kingdom respects him and will promote the Eastern natives in all aspects.

However, if you publish a book in the Tang Dynasty, it is probably impossible for the Tang Dynasty to move forward. If you want to promote the entire Dongtu Continent, it is undoubtedly a dream.

Of course! If Wu Zetian gave a death order, he might be able to do this.

But she was born into a queen and was not the orthodox Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Now, many people from the Li family want to overthrow him. If she makes a little move, she may be doomed.

Although she has a high position and a powerful position, she is also walking on thin ice.

Because of this, Li Bai did not want to put what he devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty.

And the Liu royal family is different.

The Liu family of Shu Kingdom began with the rebellion of Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty. After several twists and turns, the Eastern Han Dynasty and then the Three Kingdoms Rebellion.

The Liu family royal family stood out from the battle and finally settled in Western Shu, establishing the existence of an immortal empire of the world.

It has a strong foundation and a clever mechanism, and can perfectly explain the state of Shu Kingdom.

Such a country would rather abandon all interests and promote this dictionary for him, and only charge for printing costs.

This is undoubtedly Li Bai's best choice.

Although he is a scholar and does not like the smell of money, if he has enough smell of money, he can control his greater ambitions... let Confucianism and Taoism revive the present.

The wooden sedan chair stayed on the palace passage, and the young father-in-law took Li Bai to the imperial garden.

...

At the same time, at the court meeting, Wu Zetian put on a dragon robe, and the divine light flashed, looking sacred and majestic.

Her phoenix eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light, and her red lips opened her mouth, and slightly cold words came from it.

"Do you know what happened late last night?"

When everyone heard this, they began to whisper.

"Hey! I heard that Mr. Di investigated and punished Mr. Li's house last night and found jewelry worth nearly 300,000 taels. I didn't expect that Mr. Li was usually quite bright, but he didn't expect to be so greedy..."

"Yes, this person is just a little man. Fortunately, I stayed away from him at that time, otherwise I would have to be affected by him."

"It's true! As a senior official of the court, he is doing corruption and bribery, which is really shameful..."

"Yes! I have already figured out a relationship with him..."

The officials below began to clear their relationship, saying that Li Qihai was so greedy. Fortunately, they had nothing to do with them.

Di Renjie listened to the words of the officials and a faint smile on his lips. He would investigate whether there were any involvements.

Now they are just self-comforts, and if they have accomplices, they will find out one by one.

We must never let this borer corrode the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty again.

Wu Zetian looked directly at the people below. Except for the military officer on the right that did not whisper, the civil servants on the left were whispering, clearly telling their relationship.

This made Wu Zetian both proud and angry.

What I am proud of is that the Tang Dynasty's army can be said to be the strongest existence in the ten countries.

What was angry was that the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty were in chaos, and the trees fell and the money scattered. Li Qihai dismounted, and the civil servants below began to clearly distinguish their relationship. This was caused by her incompetence under her rule.

After a closer look, except for the people on the side of Marshal Li Jing, there were no gangs, and the princes and the prime ministers on the side of the civil servants, all of them formed a large number of major factions.

However, Di Renjie stood alone in the third line on the left, and the old god was there, and no one talked to him.

Di Renjie was also happy to be idle, after all... what he had to do next was that anyone who had a relationship with Li Qihai would have to be investigated.

It’s just an investigation! Of course, it’s inevitable that you will offend some people.

Wu Zetian frowned and snorted in a deep voice: "Hmph! My dear friends, do you think this court will be a vegetable market?"

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, they all calmed down. Wu Zetian continued: "Since the incident that Li Qihai greed for the students below, I have been thinking about..."

"I have a vast territory in the Tang Dynasty. It is the largest country in the ten countries, occupying the central part of the mainland, and also the most powerful country in the army."

"In recent years, with the students all over the world trained by the Ministry of Rites, they have gradually arranged to take up their posts and manage the area, and the Tang Dynasty has developed in an orderly manner."

"But there are various darknesses in some places, villages, towns, and prefectures that I cannot see. This... is my dereliction of duty."

"It is also the dereliction of duty for all civil and military officials in the court."

"As the imperial court officials, you have great power, but you do not want to make progress and only care about your own pleasure."

"A mere minister of the Ministry of Rites was bribed to nearly 300,000 taels of silver. If this trend continues, what kind of power does the Tang Dynasty use to gain a foothold among the ten countries?"

"A minister of the Ministry of Rites greed for nearly 300,000 taels of silver, plus eating, drinking, and collecting various treasures. I... I can't imagine how much contribution you have made to the Tang Dynasty greed for ink and corrupted the Tang Dynasty."

"Where is the Shangshu? Where is the Shangshu Ling? What is the First Class Duke? What is the Prince? Where is the Prince? Is my Tang Dynasty corrupted by you like this?"

"No, I tell you today that I turned a blind eye before. That is to give you a chance because everyone has worked hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now... a person who has been bribed by others can be exempted from the crime of accepting bribes if he puts the bribes below on the treasury."

"In addition, from now on, I will order Di Renjie as the imperial envoy, from the prince to the officials, all those related to Li Qihai's incident will be investigated."

"Then it is to rectify the Ministry of Rites. Anyone who is suspected of greed for ink and bribery will be replaced."

"The Jinshi and Juren who had no choice but to return to their hometown can be arranged to serve in major prefectures and county colleges at the discretion."

"My Tang Dynasty needs more fresh blood. Since the old Ministry of Rites cannot infusate fresh blood to the Tang Dynasty, I would rather abolish the current system and start from a new beginning."

"Di Renjie, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand that I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations..."

For a time, the storm of Chang'an changed, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was shaking...
