Chapter 254

He thought that after this incident, Made Ying Zheng would not take anything of unknown origin again.

Yet he hadn't expected that he would actually take the elixir given to him by the ghost.

"Your Majesty…"

"Are you trying to ask me why I would take this elixir without hesitation?"

Made Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed what Ge Nie was about to ask and directly interrupted his words.

Ge Nie pursed his lips and fell into silence.

A faint smile appeared on Made Ying Zheng's face once again.

"Ge Nie, you must know that this child is under Mo'er's command; I believe he will not harm me."

Thinking of his most outstanding eldest son, a soft light flashed on Made Ying Zheng's face.

Although he didn't know the ghost's specific identity at all, as long as this ghost was Hearing Ying Mo's person, he believed in this person.

Ge Nie took a deep look at Made Ying Zheng in front of him, then stood back in his original place silently.

……

In order to cooperate with Made Ying Zheng's plan.

Hearing Ying Mo decided to hide his identity and enter the officialdom.

Only in this way could he discover Li Si and the person behind him the fastest.

"Prince, the Left Censor has been thoroughly dealt with."

Lu Li came to Hearing Ying Mo's side and said.

The Left Censor's full name was Zuo Zhongtang, an inconspicuous pawn under Li Si.

As a Censor, he had the power to supervise all officials.

So an existence like the Left Censor was also detached from all other officials.

Hearing Ying Mo gave a soft hum, and when he walked out of the room again, he had transformed and become Zuo Zhongtang, the Left Censor.

Morning court,

Made Ying Zheng's gaze stared tightly at the civil and military officials below.

"Severe drought in the northwest, no harvest, people displaced."

"Such a major matter, and I am actually the last one to know the news."

"What are you officials for?"

Made Ying Zheng tried hard to put on an angry appearance while bracing his body.

His hands tightly covered his chest, his eyes wide open, and an aura of majesty surged from his body.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that at this moment, Made Ying Zheng was bracing himself to put on this aura.

Li Si saw Made Ying Zheng above and immediately thought of Donghuang Taiyi's plan.

When they discussed the plan last time, Donghuang Taiyi had said that Made Ying Zheng's current body could not live past five days.

But coincidentally, a noble had just presented a rare and precious herb of some age.

It was precisely because of this rare and precious herb that Made Ying Zheng's body had eased somewhat.

Upon learning the news, Li Si immediately passed this news to Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi also dared not determine how long this rare herb could allow Made Ying Zheng's body to hold out.

So he could only let Li Si keep a close watch on Made Ying Zheng's body at all times.

"Li Si, do you not intend to give me an explanation?"

Made Ying Zheng, who had been angry at all the civil and military officials, fixed his gaze tightly on Li Si.......

Clearly, the anger in his eyes had not dissipated.

Li Si immediately stood out from the officials and then knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Severe drought in the northwest; this subject has already transferred disaster relief silver, but it is a drop in the bucket and still cannot solve the problems for all the people."

Hearing Ying Mo stood in the position of Zuo Zhongtang, watching this scene in front of him.

Made Ying Zheng above clearly did not intend to let Li Si off.

"Is it possible that besides disaster relief silver, you can't think of any other methods?"

"The national treasury is tight; where is there so much disaster relief silver that can be allocated to the northwest?"

"You officials, each one of you only knows how to talk on paper."

The officials also didn't know why Made Ying Zheng was so irritable today.

The matter of the severe drought in the northwest had already happened long ago, and Made Ying Zheng was not the last one to know the news.

When Made Ying Zheng knew the news before, he wasn't as angry as he was today.

All the officials were somewhat confused, but one by one they lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to look Made Ying Zheng above in the eye.

"Since you are busy with official business and cannot handle the northwest matter, then divide half of the affairs in your hands to Feng Quji."

A hint of coldness flashed in Made Ying Zheng's eyes, and then he said coldly to Li Si.

Li Si had not expected that just because of this small matter, a portion of the power in his hands would be divided away.

But he dared to be angry but dared not speak; after all, this 1.2 matter was indeed his dereliction of duty.

After all, the people in the northwest were displaced, and some of the refugees had even entered Xianyang City directly.

Li Si guessed that perhaps it was because of these refugees that Made Ying Zheng was so exposed.

"This subject accepts the decree."

Standing beside Li Si, the nominal Feng Quji had not expected that he would be able to hear his own name from Made Ying Zheng's mouth this time.

"This subject obeys the decree."

Knowing that Made Ying Zheng had already transferred a portion of the power in Li Si's hands to himself,

Feng Quji immediately knelt to thank him.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Feng Quji had a premonition that perhaps his opportunity to turn things around had arrived.

Hearing Ying Mo hid silently among the officials, watching this scene in front of him.
