"Sir, Sir Le has returned from the Imperial Palace!”
As soon as the Right Prime Minister finished speaking, a subordinate came to report.
"Hurry, hurry up and invite him in!"
Hearing that Le Qi had come back from the palace, the Right Prime Minister was instantly energized.
Now, the only one who could deal with the Ninth Prince was the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
This time, Le Qi had entered the palace to meet the Saint, most likely because of Zhao Gaoming's injustice. He wondered how Ying Zheng would react after he learned that Zhao Gao had been killed.
At this moment, he was not the only one. All the civil and military officials in the court were looking out of the official residence with expectant eyes.
Now was the crucial moment to decide whether or not they could pull the Ninth Prince down!
If Ying Zheng was enraged by Zhao Gao's death, then the Ninth Prince's good days would come to an end!
They would no longer have to worry about their entire family being executed!
Right now, their mansion was surrounded by soldiers.
This was like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they did not know when it would fall!
Only by taking away the sword hanging above their heads would they be completely at ease.
"He's here!"
"Lord Le is back!"
Suddenly, a fat figure appeared outside the Prime Minister's office.
He was none other than Le Qi!
However, what gave everyone an ominous feeling was that this Master Le had his head drooped, and there was no joy on his chubby face!
"Lord Le, how is the situation?"
"Is it for Zhao Gao's matter that Milord entered the palace this time?”
"What is His Majesty's attitude? Did he issue an order to capture that kid Ying Ziye?”
"That kid even dared to kill an important official of the court. Is Your Majesty very angry?”
……
The crowd helped the dejected Leqi into the government office and began to ask questions.
Now, they really wanted to know the emperor's attitude, because this concerned their personal interests!
"Sigh…!"
Leqi lowered her head and waved her hand dejectedly.
In an instant, all the officials fell silent.
All of them waited for him to speak.
"That's right!"
"This time, I went to the palace to meet the emperor because of Zhao Gao!”
"But not only did His Majesty not punish the Ninth Prince, he even chased me out!”
"Sigh…!"
Leqi sobbed as she recounted what had happened. Everyone was shocked and felt a chill down their necks!
At this moment, even a fool could tell that Great Qin was about to change!
Zhao Gao was nothing compared to the Ninth Prince!
Not only did his entire family die in vain!
Moreover, Ying Ziye might even step on his dead body to get to the top!
Otherwise, how could the minister who impeached that kid be kicked out with a dirty face?
"It's over! It's over…!"
"Zhao Gao is His Majesty's favorite subject. His status is much higher than ours!”
"His entire family was exterminated by the Ninth Prince, but His Majesty didn't blame him.”
"Then if the Ninth Prince exterminated our entire family, wouldn't His Majesty be even more lazy to care?”
After a moment of silence, someone said something, and the already tense atmosphere became even more tense.
All of the officials were on tenterhooks and panicked.
Some of them even felt their knees go weak and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, they held onto the table and sat down, not falling!
"Previously, we pretended to obey and went against the Ninth Prince in every way. Will the Ninth Prince vent his anger on us?”
Another official in the court muttered to himself with a pale face.
"This…this is hard to say!"
"Oh right, I still have some matters to deal with in my office, so I'll take my leave first.”
"Regarding the collection of taxes from the aristocrats, this old man still has no idea. This old man also has to go back and discuss with my subordinates what to do next.”
"I still have a lot of things to deal with in the yamen. I'll take my leave first!”
"Today, I need to put millions of gold taels into the treasury. I have to go and do my work.”
……
One of the officials seemed to have realized something and suddenly found an excuse to leave!
After he left, the remaining officials also left their seats and ran back to their offices.
Even though no one said anything, they all knew that Great Qin's sky was about to change!
The so-called plan to make things difficult for them, whoever wanted to go could go!
Anyway, they wouldn't take things too hard and seek death!
Not long after, the Prime Minister's office was empty, leaving only a few people!
……
"You didn't send it to the palace?"
In the Ninth Prince's mansion, Ying Ziye saw Meng Yi bring back the name list and couldn't help but frown.
"I'll give it to you!"
"But His Majesty asked me to send it back.”
"His Majesty said that Your Highness will be in charge of the people on the list!”
Meng Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile.
He really wanted to tell Ying Ziye that His Majesty was preparing to appoint a Crown Prince tomorrow, but he held back in the end.
This was a matter of national importance!
This was something that only the First Emperor could decide!
If the First Emperor changed his mind tonight, then he would be punished by His Majesty for leaking the news ahead of time!
Therefore, even though he was overjoyed, he still held it in and did not say anything.
"You want me to handle it?"
Ying Ziye pinched his chin and thought for a moment. Soon, a smile appeared on his lips.
This was his cheap father paving the way for him!
Since that was the case, then he would not be polite!
He had thought that killing Zhao Gao would anger his father.
After all, Zhao Gao was the favorite of his cheap father!
At this moment, it seemed that he was worrying too much. His father was not so muddle-headed that he could not differentiate between good and bad!
"Your Highness, how should we deal with Zhao Gao's henchmen in the court?”
Meng Yi waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Ying Ziye's order, so he asked curiously.
He came here this time because he was ordered to send the name list over.
In addition, he was prepared to listen to Ying Ziye's orders to capture Zhao Gao's remaining accomplices.
Who would have thought that even after waiting for a long time, he still didn't receive any orders from this Ninth Hall His Highness.
"This Young Master has his own decision!"
Ying Ziye shook his head and kept him in suspense!
……
……
There were still a few tens of evaluation votes, less than 1,700, and there were not many flowers. However, it was better to add another chapter.
