"I'm so brave, bring Huang Qiu here!" After hearing Li Zhang's story, Zhao Zhen immediately slapped the table and said angrily that since eunuchs were in power in the Han Dynasty, no matter which dynasty later, eunuchs were strictly prohibited from interfering in politics. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, where eunuchs were in power, eunuchs were prohibited from interfering in politics at first, but later, in order to seize power from ministers, the emperor could only rely on eunuchs around him.

Following Zhao Zhen's order, the eunuch in the palace immediately went to take Huang Qiu. At this time, Li Zhang was also paying attention to Yan Shilang's expression beside him, because he was worried that the other party would be involved in this matter. However, Yan Shilang's performance was not abnormal, and he even showed a clear expression. It seemed that he knew something?

After a while, Huang Qiu, who was gray-haired, was brought in. Huang Qiu was once an old man next to Zhao Zhen, but he was not as close as Yan Shilang. After Zhao Zhen came to power, the eunuch in charge of the palace also changed. Huang Qiu is now in the position of the provincial governor of the Ministry of Eunuchs, and is in the same position as Yan Shilang, but he is not as favored as Yan Shilang.

"I will meet your majesty!" Huang Qiu immediately saluted Zhao Zhen after coming in, but he seemed to have no idea what happened at this time, and he was also confused at this time. However, when he saw Zhao Zhen with an angry face, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Huang Qiu, you are so brave. You dare to reach out to Dengwen Drum Courtyard!" Zhao Zhen angrily slapped the table and roared angrily.

Huang Qiu was also scared and finally knew what he had done. However, he was very bachelor. He immediately rested all over and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know that I am wrong. All of this was done by the eunuch Ma Fengjie of Quanzhou. He bribed me with a large amount of money and I promised him in a daze. Please forgive me for your crime!"

Before Zhao Zhen could interrogate, Huang Qiu directly admitted all the mistakes he made and even offered the eunuch Ma Fengjie, the eunuch in Quanzhou. Anyway, he was just an accomplice. As long as he admitted his guilt and begged Zhao Zhen, it would be fine if he was scolded and punished slightly. Generally, there would be no major matter.

However, Huang Qiu made the wrong plan. Yan Shilang next to him suddenly stood up and reported to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Quanzhou eunuch Ma Fengjie has been serving Huang Qiu since he was a child, and later he was recognized as his godson. In recent years, Ma Fengjie has plundered a lot of money and most of them have given him filial piety to Huang Qiu!"

As soon as Yan Shilang said something, Huang Qiu couldn't help but glared at him, but then lowered his head and did not dare to let Zhao Zhen see it. Zhao Zhen also sneered at this time and immediately asked again: "Ma Fengjie is your godson, so do you know the good things Ma Fengjie did in Quanzhou?"

Dong Qing's family is not an ordinary person, but a wealthy family. Their whole family was destroyed and the business was quickly annexed. There must be official support behind it. Needless to say, the eunuch Ma Fengjie must have participated. Maybe Huang Qiu in front of him is also an insider.

"It's unfair! I've been staying in the palace all year round and don't know what's going on in the local area. I just send some things to me during Ma Fengjie's time. I also help him cover it up because of the father and son's affection. I really don't know anything about the outside world!" Huang Qiu immediately shouted injustice when he heard this. He didn't lie this time because he only cared about the filial piety sent by Ma Fengjie every year. As for where these filial piety came from, it was not what he cared about.

Zhao Zhen knew that Huang Qiu should not have lie, but the more he did this, the more he became, the more he was, because he had no idea what evil Ma Fengjie had done, so he dared to help him suppress the matter. Fortunately, Dong Qing stopped Li Zhang's carriage and shouted for justice, otherwise such a big case would have been suppressed by them.

"Shirou, Huang Qiu is given to you for interrogation. Removal of all his positions. The court rules are judged by the rules of the palace!" Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and ordered again. Yan Shirou next to him agreed immediately, while Huang Qiu was so scared that he was speechless. Although he had no major conflicts with Yan Shirou, he knew that there must be some conflicts between him. Now that he fell into his hands, there would definitely be no good ending.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiu immediately shouted for justice again, and at the same time begged Zhao Zhen with tears in his eyes. However, Zhao Zhen ignored it and directly asked someone to pull him down.

As Huang Qiu was pulled down, Zhao Zhen's anger seemed to calm down a little, and then he said to Li Zhang: "Cousin, is that Dong Qing outside the palace gate now?"

"Well, he can't enter the palace, so I'll let him wait outside the palace." Li Zhang nodded and replied.

"I have let him suffer injustice, and I am really embarrassed to see him. Let's do this. Let's arrange him to the inn. In the past two days, I will assign a minister to Quanzhou to investigate the case clearly. Eunuchs and officials involved in the case like Ma Fengjie must not be spared!" Zhao Zhen thought about it for a moment and spoke again.

Zhao Zhen’s disposal was also expected by Li Zhang, but he had another plan. Li Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhao Zhen: “Your Majesty, I have something I want you to see!”

Li Zhang said as he looked at the eunuchs and palace maids around him. Zhao Zhen immediately understood and immediately asked everyone around him to retreat. Soon, the only two of them were left in the entire hall. At this time, Li Zhang did not rush to take out the things, but was silent for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, I wonder what you think of me?"

"Cousin, why are you asking like this?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Zhang's inexplicable words.

"Don't ask why, what do you think about what I have done to the Song Dynasty over the years?" Li Zhang asked again.

"Is this still necessary? Cousin, you have made countless contributions to our Song Dynasty. The money has allowed me to circulate rapidly in the Song Dynasty. Business has flourished greatly. Potatoes have made the Song Dynasty worry about food shortages. Firearms have made our army invincible and have even recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. It can be said that with your contribution, it is not an exaggeration to be named king!" Zhao Zhen immediately replied without hesitation.

In addition to the contributions from Li Zhang, what Zhao Zhen is most grateful for is Li Zhang's company over the years, especially when he had a conflict with Liu E. It was also thanks to Li Zhang's turnaround, so the relationship between them did not make it too stiff, not to mention that because of Li Zhang's help, he and Empress Dowager Li and his son had the opportunity to recognize each other. In addition, it was precisely because of Li Zhang's friend that as the emperor, he would not feel lonely.
