"I don't have any substantial evidence yet, but I just don't trust him. Prime Minister Yin, you are the head of the officials anyway. Just show it to your junior brother. From top to bottom, no one dares to say no." The prince said.
"How can that be done? The more this happens, the more I have to avoid suspicion. Will you seal me or not? If you don't seal me, I will find someone else." Yin Ziping said jokingly.
"I'll seal it, I'll seal it, or else I'll seal Shen Lizheng as the third-rank censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, supervise all officials, and have real power. If he goes up to the third rank, it won't matter if I say it. The Central Office and the Secretariat of Secretariat will have to discuss and decide. Tomorrow I will sign an edict acknowledging my fate early in the morning, Shen Li, you can take the edict and report it to the Ministry of Officials." The prince said anxiously.
"Junior Brother Shen, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a third-rank official, what do you think?" Yin Ziping asked Shen Lidao.
"Shen Li thanked Senior Brother Yin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Li compiled and said respectfully.
"Shen Aiqing, don't look at me as a prince. I am supervising the country. The third rank is my limit. When I ascend to the throne, Shen Aiqing, I will give you whatever official you want. Prime Minister Yin, I Those younger brothers now have soldiers, especially my second younger brother. I heard that he has experts around him, so you have to support me!" the prince said.
"You are the real prince. If I don't support you, who else can I support? What's so scary! When the court comes tomorrow, you will go to the emperor's side to guard him. The emperor is speechless now, and there is no possibility of appointing a new king. President Zhang of the Alchemist Guild came to see him and said he only had three or four days of good work," Yin Ziping said.
"Prime Minister Yin, Prime Minister Yin, I will definitely not change the establishment if I change the establishment. The key is that I am afraid that someone will rebel!" the prince said in a serious tone.
"It's okay, I'm in charge, there won't be any chaos!" Yin Ziping said firmly.
On the second day, Yin Ziping returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the morning court and gave Shen Li the edict of acceptance of his fate.
"Junior Brother Shen, do your best. The position of Prime Minister of the Suzaku Empire has always been taken by people from our Qingyun Sect. Now that I am old, I just want to get rid of this situation as soon as possible so that I can return to the sect to clean up my cultivation." Yin Ziping said earnestly.
"Senior Brother Yin, you are not old at all. You are the biggest contributor to the Suzaku Empire becoming the most powerful country in the Eastern Region!" Shen Li said.
Yin Ziping listened to Shen Li's words and remembered the past events vividly. He had served as prime minister for thirty years, worked hard to govern, implemented reforms, and developed the Suzaku Empire from a little-known small country in the southeast to the strongest empire in the eastern region.
"Hey, time is not forgiving. In the blink of an eye, I am already seventy years old. I will send someone to take you to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report. Now is the time of trouble, and it is the time to employ people."
Yin Ziping sent a confidant to lead Shen Li to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the two of them rode a carriage to the palace.
Xiao Yingxue and Cui Jiao were afraid that Shen Li would be in danger and wanted to accompany Shen Li, but Shen Li refused because Shen Li didn't take anyone seriously at the Nascent Soul stage.
When they arrived in front of the palace gate, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped the carriage Shen Li was riding in and were about to conduct a routine inspection. However, they were scolded by the inspecting officers.
"Are you two blind? Can't you see that this is the Prime Minister's carriage? Don't check it, just let it go!"
"It's okay, you guys, just do whatever you need to do to investigate. I am on the orders of the Prime Minister to take the newly appointed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report." Yin Ziping's cronies opened the curtain and said.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is really joking." The officer said flatteringly.
Seeing his cronies closing the curtain, the officer immediately changed his expression, turned to the soldier guarding the door and shouted: "Hurry and let him go! Remember, this car is exempt from inspection here!"
When Shen Li's carriage entered the palace, the soldier guarding the gate said to the officer: "Sir, this Ruda is just a servant of the prime minister's family. Why are you so polite to him?"
"What do you know, kid? He is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister's house. He works for the prime minister. Even if our Sima commander-in-chief sees him, he must be polite," the officer said.
Shen Li's carriage drove through Wengcheng. As soon as it reached the main road of the inner city, a masked man suddenly ran out from nowhere. He first slapped the two horses pulling the cart to death with his palm, and then slapped the coachman to death with the wind of his palm, blocking the way. in front of the car,
Shen Li thought to himself: "Made, there are people in the palace who dare to cause trouble. There are really people who are not afraid of death!"
Ruda jumped out of the carriage angrily and shouted at the masked man: "How dare you! Who are you?"
"I am the one who wants your life!" The masked man said nothing and slapped Ruda with his palm.
Ruda hurriedly fought, and also slapped his palm, and faced off against the masked man. After using this move, Ruda was defeated and was shaken several meters away, spitting out blood.
The masked man then used the wind to hit the carriage and directly lifted the roof of the carriage.
Shen Li jumped out from the roof of the car and came to Luda's side.
"Master Lu, are you okay?" Shen Li said.
"Master Shen, run away, this person is at least in the late stage of Jindan cultivation!" Ruda spat out a mouthful of blood and said.
After a while, the masked man pulled out a dagger and stabbed Shen Li.
Shen Li stepped on the Cloud Chasing Step and dodged in time. When he was far away from the masked man, Shen Li made a quick decision and used his yang finger to hit the masked man on the left shoulder.
The masked man endured the burning pain, turned around and jumped onto the high wall, trying to escape.
When the masked man jumped up, Shen Li hit the masked man with his fingers again, hitting the masked man firmly on the back.
After the masked man jumped onto the high wall, Shen Li also jumped onto the high wall. Shen Li looked around and found nothing, no trace of the masked man.
Shen Li returned to Luda and helped Luda up.
"Master Lu, I will take you to see a doctor."
"Master Xie Shen." Luda said with his lips turning white.
At this time, the patrolling officer just arrived in a hurry with a group of officers and soldiers.
"People behind you, hurry up and follow. Hurry up, there's an assassin!"
"Master Lu, who wounded you?" the officer asked eagerly.
Shen Li took out one of the golden sore medicines given by Xiao Yingxue and put it into Luda's mouth.
He said to the officer: "Hold Master Lu."
The officer and a soldier hurriedly stepped forward to help Ruda.
Shen Li went to observe the coachman and two horses who were killed by the masked man.
"They were all killed in one blow, so cruel."
Shen Li found a small piece of cloth where the man in black was hit by Yang Finger.
Shen Li picked up the piece of cloth and looked at it carefully.
I thought to myself: "I must have hit the masked man and it fell from him."
At this time, Sima Lang came over with a large army.
"Are you okay, Shen Li?" Sima Lang said.
Shen Li looked at Sima Lang and thought: "This assassin is thin and slim, while Sima Lang is big and round, so he doesn't match his size."
"I'm fine. How did you, the commander of the Yulin Army, let assassins sneak into the imperial city?" Shen Li asked.
Sima Lang was speechless for a moment, touched his head, and did not dare to answer.
