"Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou, have you two finished reading?"

Liu Zhi and Wang Yansou paid their respects: "I have finished reading it!"

"Is there anyone who wants to tell the difference?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Liu Zhi held the imperial hut and bowed to him: "I am the censor, and there are no taboos in what the censor says... So I don't know what my crime is?"

Wang Yansou also followed suit and said: "Although I am the supervisory censor, I am not allowed to overstep my authority and comment on the government affairs according to the regulations. However, I believe that everyone in the world can have a say in the affairs of the world... There is no distinction between censor and admonishment officer..."

It is naturally impossible for the two of them to admit their mistakes.

Because this is not only their duty as censors, but also the foundation for their livelihood.

Censor, if you admit your mistake.

That means there is a stain, and once there is a stain, there is no possibility of recovery.

On the contrary, if you resist hard.

Even if you are demoted today, you can still have a good reputation in the public opinion of the government and the public.

If anything changes in the future, you can return to the court at any time.

The Queen Mother listened and sneered angrily.

The Queen Mother let out a long breath.

Zhao Xu paid attention to the changes inside the curtain and made the 'reaction' he should have in a timely manner.

He immediately pretended to be angry, patted the throne's mattress, and almost stood up, but he seemed to consider sitting in front of him because he was in the palace.

The Empress Dowager in the curtain laughed at this moment and said: "So, the two censors admitted to ending the party?"

Liu Zhi and Wang Yansou suddenly raised their heads.

Form a party?!

Both of them?

I wanted to open my mouth to retort, but the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them out at all.

Because the New Party censors at the Censorship Station have been talking about it a lot.

And they dare not refute.

Because there are countless personal and material evidences that can prove that they often communicated with each other.

These things may be nothing in normal times.

It's just communication between colleagues.

But when the Empress Dowager slapped the label of clique on her head, those things that were usually insignificant immediately became irrefutable evidence!

If they dare to deny it, they will immediately be charged with bullying the emperor.

Then no one can save them!

Liu Zhi had no choice but to follow the old wisdom of his predecessors and hurriedly bowed to him: "I know the compassionate sage...I heard that Ouyang Wenzhonggong once said: A villain has no friends, but a gentleman does..."

"The minister and the supervisory censor Yansou... are truly gentlemen's friends, and are not involved in the slightest personal gain... Fu Qi, a compassionate sage, will see clearly!"

Of course he knew what the consequences of saying this would be? It confirmed that he and Wang Yansou were forming a party.

But he had no choice.

Because he could not explain that he and Wang Yansou had close personal contacts and did not shy away from others even in Yushitai.

Instead of being labeled as a party member by the New Party members and relegated from the court.

It is better to take the initiative to bind with the Qingli gentlemen.

In this way, even if they are demoted, they can still tell others - We were killed by the villains of the New Party, just like the gentlemen of Qingli!

The gentlemen of Qingli later became the Optimus Primes of the Song Dynasty!

Duke Fan Wenzheng, Duke Wei of Han, Duke Fu Han and Grand Master Wen Lu who are currently in the court...

They were all Qingli gentlemen back then!

Liu Zhi's voluntary admission made the Empress Dowager inside the curtain choke for a moment, and then became furious, without any regard for decency: "How dare you use the words of Ouyang Wen Zhonggong and compare yourself to Qingli, a gentleman?"

Qingli gentleman!

That was the role model that the Empress Dowager admired and longed for when she was growing up.

Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu...

Which one is not a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty? Which one is not a pillar of the country who cares about the country and the people?

Now, this shameless villain dares to compare himself with Qingli gentleman?

The anger of the Empress Dowager is naturally conceivable.

Her reaction at this moment was probably similar to that of a modern star-chasing girl who discovers an 18th-level tax evader.

The volcano was completely ignited!

But Liu Zhi still knew nothing. He choked his neck and bowed: "I behave upright and sit upright. Although I dare not compare with the Qingli princes, I am willing to take the Qingli gentleman as a role model!"

The Queen Mother was furious at his shameless words.

"Since you compare yourself to a gentleman in Qingli..."

"I would like to ask you, Mr. Qingli, have you ever used words to peer into the palace and test the Sacred Heart?"

"Has the Qingli gentleman ever regarded the Emperor as a child?"

"Master Wen is in Bianjing now!"

"If you don't believe it, I can invite the Grand Master here and ask the Grand Master to question you personally!"

Liu Zhi was completely stunned when he listened to the government. He had no idea how the Empress Dowager could understand his bullets like this!

Obviously, he is loyal!

Well, almost 8,000 today.
