Some people bowed their heads.

"Department of Household Affairs, I only need to look at the books to find the embezzlement ring."

"But the one who can make the whole court believe in that testimony, the one who can stand before His Majesty and read out every single thing without backing down, is her."

He paused, then laughed softly. That smile was not like the usual hateful look. But a bit arrogant.

"The world only knows that Tham Tri Hanh is a genius."

"But no one knows."

"So is my sister."

I bow my head. In that moment, my nose suddenly This bastard. Normally, we don't blink an eye, pitting us to death over and over again. But when the time comes that someone really needs to stand up and say something fair to me, the first person to step forward is still him. Trieu Binh immediately coldly said:

"Master Shen's words sound very touching. But in the end, this is still the crime of lese majesty. Do you want to use a few words of brotherly love to change black and white?"

Tham Tri Hanh turned to look at him. This time, his eyes were so cold that even I was stunned.

"Million general."

"You always talk about national law."

"Then why don't you also talk about how you bribed a servant of the Shen residence and sent someone to sneak into my study and steal evidence?"

Trieu Binh's face changed.

"You talk nonsense!"

Tham Tri Hanh smiled.

"Are you talking nonsense?"

He took out an envelope from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, this is the testimony of the servant who was bribed by Trieu Binh."

"I caught it myself."

He took out a second piece of paper.

"This is a list of checks transferred from the Prime Minister's Palace."

"It was Lord Bui of Dai Ly who helped me investigate."

Everyone's eyes immediately looked towards Bui Dien Chi. Bui Dien Chi clasped his hands and said leisurely:

"Reporting to your majesty, I have indeed investigated."

"Not just bribing subordinates."

"General Trieu also secretly contacted Qi Van Uyen's residual party, intending to use the Tham family's affairs to cover up the relief money that has not yet been recovered."

The whole palace immediately stirred. Trieu Binh's face turned pale.

"You... you all joined forces to harm this old man!"

Tham Tri Hanh sighed.

"Million general."

"You fought me for three years."

"I still don't remember why."

"But I'm not stupid."

This one sentence made the whole electricity silent. Even Tieu Duc curled the corners of his lips slightly. Tham Tri Hanh knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, it is a crime for me to let my younger sister enter the court in my place."

"But Trieu Binh took advantage of this matter to plot against the official, collude with corruption, and hide relief money, which is even more of a crime."

"I ask for your Majesty's understanding."

Tieu Duc looked down at the palace. His eyes fell on Trieu Binh.

"Trieu Binh."

"What do you have left to say?"

Trieu Binh opened his mouth. But this time, he couldn't say a word. Because the old snake wanted to bite that person, and finally bit into the trap that others had prepared for him. 【Chapter eighteen】 Trieu Binh was escorted out of Kim Loan Palace by guards. The moment he passed in front of me, his face was as white as ashes. The old snake once silently lurked in the dark, wanted to use the Tham family's secret to bite us to death, but was eventually pulled down into the abyss by his own bite. I didn't look at him for too long. Because right now, I'm still kneeling under the palace. On the dragon's chair, Tieu Duc looked at me. Your last question still rings in my ears.

"Tham Tri Y, if I let you become an official, would you dare to accept it?"

I raised my head. In a moment At that moment, I saw many eyes. Some people are curious. Some people are skeptical. Some people are still not convinced. There are also people who are silently waiting for us to step back. I suddenly remembered the first day I wore my brother's official uniform to the court. At that time I was so scared that I could only look at the tips of my shoes. Afraid of saying the wrong thing. Fear of revealing identity. Afraid that the head on my neck could fall off at any time. But now, when everything has been exposed in front of everyone, I am no longer afraid. I slowly bowed my head.

"Goddess dares."

As soon as those three words were uttered, my heart suddenly felt a lot lighter. It was like something that had been weighing heavily on my shoulders for the past few months had finally been put down. I am no longer the shadow of Tham Tri Hanh. No longer is he the person who stole his brother's official uniform and secretly stood on the court. From today onwards. If I can still step into Kim Loan Palace. I will use my own name. Tieu Duc looked at me for a long time, then nodded.

"So from today, I temporarily appoint Tham Tri Y as the Chief Female Secretary, according to the Apprentice Cabinet, the merits will be considered together."

The whole electricity was buzzing again. There is a minister who wants to come out and protest. But as soon as Tieu Duc's eyes swept over, that person immediately went back on his word.

"When it comes to women being officials, I know you are not satisfied."

"If you don't like it, use your bravery to refute her."

"Don't use your identity."

"Dai Ky doesn't care for people and only knows how to stand on the court and say useless words."

This one sentence stopped everyone's mouth shut. I bow my head in thanks. Before I could fully understand the meaning of the four words "Female History Officer", I heard a familiar voice ringing out from the officials of Dai Ly Temple. I turned my head to look over. Bui Dien Chi stepped out of the line.
