Chapter 55: Physical Examination



No one expected that the first person to jump out would be the Minister of Personnel.

The Minister of Personnel Wang Ning jumped out without saying a word: "Your Majesty, if this is true, then Lord Zhao is guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

"Moreover, Lord Zhao goes in and out of the palace every day, so it's hard to tell whether he is innocent or not..."

Wang Ning's eyes were sinister and vicious. Being stared at by him was as terrifying as being stared at by a poisonous snake.

At this time, Wang Ning stared at Zhao Ji fiercely.

Zhao Ji has obviously reached out to the Ministry of Personnel now, and the Minister of Personnel Wang Ning also gave a reasonable explanation for Zhao Ji.

When the Minister of Revenue was removed from office and met with such an end, some people in the court took it as a warning, but some people were at the end of their rope.

The emperor looked at the chaos below with a headache, mainly because what these ministers said sounded too real, so even the emperor was a little hesitant at this time.

"This is easy to prove. All we need to do is to check if he is a man. Your Majesty, please send someone to check it out!"

The minister who jumped out to report it seemed to know the emperor's difficulties and pretended to be righteous and gave a solution.

There was no change in Zhao Ji's expression from beginning to end. Instead, he watched these court officials criticizing him as if he was watching a play.

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this time, and he could also think that if it was proved now that Zhao Ji was a normal man.

Then the power and trust that the emperor has given away during this period of time have made people say that the emperor is a fool.

Even for the sake of his own reputation, the emperor must issue an order to verify Zhao Ji's identity today.

"Lord Zhao, I definitely believe you, but all the officials in the court want an explanation, and I want them to be convinced."

The emperor sighed with worry and immediately sent a minister and a eunuch.

Ministers, eunuchs and a pair of guards stood beside Zhao Ji.

In fact, he was also afraid that Zhao Ji would revolt.

However, Zhao Ji had a plan in mind: "Your Majesty actually wants to give me a clean slate, so I can only say that it is the fairest to verify my identity. I am willing!"

Zhao Ji pretended to be righteous and loyal, but his eyes were always fixed on the court officials in the hall.

This matter must be the person who found three courtesans to accompany him.

This person is quite scheming, one thing after another. Zhao Ji originally thought that this person just wanted to destroy his reputation among the people.

Now it seems that the real intention is actually this.

I'm afraid that when his identity is verified later, even if Zhao Ji is really a eunuch, he will become a real man under that person's arrangement.

By then, I will be unable to defend myself and will surely lose the support and trust of the Emperor.

Zhao Ji's mind was working rapidly. He pretended to be a person who had been wronged, with a trace of pain and patience on his face: "Your Majesty, I am truly loyal. It's a pity that some people always believe in rumors and even doubt me..."

"I am willing to prove my identity in public and give an explanation to the emperor, so as to avoid being scolded like this in the future!"

Every word Zhao Ji said was sincere, and it even made the emperor show some conscience, which was rare.

When the minister and the eunuch heard that Zhao Ji was outside to verify his identity, their faces turned slightly pale.

Zhao Ji also took this opportunity to see which court officials looked strange.

However, after watching it from beginning to end, I still didn’t find any clues, which is interesting!

It is obvious that the person behind this is very good at pretending.

"Originally, these were all caused by some rumors. The public was really excited. Since Zhao Aiqing had the courage to examine the body in public, and there are only men in this hall, it is unfair to Zhao Aiqing!"

Your Majesty, what you said sounds good.

The ministers and eunuchs who received the order and looked at Zhao Ji looked a little embarrassed.

However, the sword was on the string and had to be shot. Although they originally planned to drag Zhao Ji to the dark room in the side hall for examination, the situation has changed now and they can only bite the bullet and move forward.

The eunuch held the dustpan and tried to use it as a cover to reach out and test.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Zhao Ji simply took off his outer robe and pushed his trousers back, revealing his entire body shape.

As we all know, eunuchs don't have that thing, so naturally there won't be any bulging phenomenon.

Zhao Ji's lower body was flat.

Moreover, Zhao Ji's actions completely disrupted the rhythm of the ministers and eunuchs who were examining the body.

Or maybe these two people are completely useless.

Everyone saw Zhao Ji prove his innocence and also saw Zhao Ji's identity as a "eunuch".

The emperor himself saw it with his own eyes. Originally there was a trace of doubt in his heart, but now all the doubts have disappeared.

"My dear, why do you have to do this? This matter was caused by a villain. Don't worry, my dear, I will do you justice!"

The emperor put himself in Zhao Ji's shoes and thought that even if he were in Zhao Ji's situation, he might not be able to endure such an insult.

Therefore, the more he realized that Zhao Ji was a man of great faith and determination, the more he felt a little ashamed of his loyalty to his loyal subjects.

After all, the emperor still wants to maintain his reputation as a benevolent monarch.

On the other side, those ministers who had just made the report were really panicked at this moment.

The intelligence they received was completely different from the current situation.

The official who reported Zhao Ji, who had seemed so confident of victory at the beginning, now had a changed expression and was even trembling.

"Your Majesty, I have been deceived! Deceived!" Seeing that the emperor's gaze was about to turn to him, the minister was so scared that he fell to his knees on the ground, crying out that he was wronged.

Unfortunately, at this time no one cared whether he was really wronged or not, because the emperor now only had Zhao Ji, the loyal minister who had been wronged, in his heart. So the person who reported Zhao Ji and caused Zhao Ji to be wronged was naturally a traitor.

"You are very bold to slander loyal ministers in the court. Although eunuchs are not real men, I have seen what Zhao Aiqing has done for the entire dynasty in recent days. He is far more responsible than you..."

The emperor couldn't help but recall that when he was dying, it was Zhao Ji who rushed in, pulled the quack doctor away, and used medicine to keep his life.

Later, Zhao Ji went to find out where the disaster relief funds in Hua'an County had gone, and he also went to Hua'an County in person to provide disaster relief. Each and every one of them was a great thing for the country and the people.

Apart from the struggles in the court, the emperor actually knew very well that everyone sitting in this position actually hoped to have a capable assistant like Zhao Ji.

As a result, his right-hand man was actually being slandered and exposed in such an indecent way in the court. The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became.

In a rage, he shouted, "Drag him away!"
