I haven't finished my words,
Ying Zheng had already stood up slowly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"If you have something to say, please say it."
"Yes."
Li Si's heart sank.
Was this a warning to him, or did His Majesty sense something?
He tidied his clothes and sorted out his thoughts. Then, he said with a hint of hesitation,
"An assassin appearing in Xianyang and assassinating the 19th Imperial Residence is a national disaster!”
"I believe that we should investigate this matter thoroughly to prove our country's prestige.”
"As the Prime Minister, I also bear the responsibility of protecting the country. Your Majesty, please punish me!”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.
Since Li Si, the Prime Minister, did not stand up for them, they naturally did not have the courage to stand up for themselves.
"Prime Minister, you are too kind."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but then suddenly looked at Ying Tian and said,
"Little Nineteen, what do you think?"
Ying Tian was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he would be called out today just because he came to watch the show.
"Your son has no objections. Prime Minister Li Si's anger is all-encompassing, so this matter will be handed over to Prime Minister Feng You! It can be considered as avoiding suspicion."
"As for the other officials, they were only implicated. Father can make the decision.”
"Good,"
Ying Zheng's eyes shone with satisfaction. Ying Tian's answer was exactly what he had imagined!
Glancing at the ministers below him, Ying Zheng's eyes slowly became firm, as if he had made an indescribable decision. He said,"
"Then, today's court session is over. Right Prime Minister Feng Qing will be in charge of this matter of rewards and punishments.”
"Yes."
Feng Quji, who was dressed in official robes, bowed slightly with a calm expression.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless.
It seemed like His Majesty did not mention Li Si's punishment, but in reality, he had handed this authority to Feng Quji and confirmed the matter.
However, since Li Si had been punished, they naturally did not have a good ending either!
As the Ancestral Dragon took the lead to leave, all the officials retreated out of the court. Some of them could not help but have resentment on their faces!
"A wild goose all day long, but today it was pecked blind by a wild goose! I didn't expect to suffer such an undeserved calamity!"
"There's no need to be angry. If it weren't for the nineteenth prince speaking up for us in the end, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been so easily resolved!”
"Naturally…We have not met in the past. After today's assassination, this nineteenth prince seems to have some extraordinary boldness. An ordinary person would have long been scared to the point of peeing their buttocks after being assassinated…"
。。。
Ying Tian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart as he listened to everyone's gossip. He then walked out of the hall.
In the past, he did not show his brilliance, and everyone despised him.
Now, he was just a prominent figure, but he had already attracted people in the court to flatter him.
Gulp!
Ying Tian silently drank a mouthful of wine, his heart filled with emotions.
The world's hustle and bustle are all for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle are all for profit.
"Your Highness,"
Just as Ying Tian was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by a eunuch in a remote area.
"His Majesty invites His Highness to the study for a chat.”
"Imperial Father is looking for me?"
Ying Tian raised his eyebrows.
Was it because of the follow-up to the plan of the Mo family?
Or an assassin who wanted to ask him how to block it?
Or…
Ying Tian was not sure why Ying Zheng was looking for him.
"Forget it, there's no need to worry."
Ying Tian shook his head slightly in his heart. His eyes regained their usual calmness as he said indifferently,
"Lead the way."
On the other side, in Zhao Gao's residence.
As the news of Zhao Gao's loss of power spread, the residence that used to have an endless stream of guests was now left with only a few big and small cats.
Even the spies who were targeting the Yin-Yang School's stronghold were met with a crazy counterattack from the Yin-Yang School.
Zhao Gao's expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He had climbed up step by step from the bottom to this position, and he had seen everything.
Because of this, he knew better than anyone else that he had to gamble!
Only by winning the bet could he turn the tables!
Creak!
As the door slowly opened, a middle-aged figure in a green-gray robe entered Zhao Gao's eyes, causing him to involuntarily narrow his eyes!
"Who is it?"
Although there were no top-notch experts in his residence, to be able to come and go so freely was not something that ordinary people could do!
The greenish-robed figure calmly turned around and bowed.
"I am Xu Fu from the Yin-Yang School."
"People from the Yin-Yang School?"
Zhao Gao's heart couldn't help but pause. He then snorted coldly and said,
"Why? Are you here to assassinate me?"
"The Yin-Yang School is really powerful.”
"The commander of the Zhongche Prefecture has misunderstood."
Hearing Zhao Gao's sarcasm, Xu Fu still smiled and did not get angry.
"I came today to settle an old score with you and discuss a deal.”
"Old scores? Deal?"
Zhao Gao was slightly stunned. He slowly closed the door behind him and secretly used a hand gesture to mobilize his trusted aides in the residence. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I make a deal with you, I'm afraid I'll be eaten until not even my bones are left!”
