Entering the bully's den, she changed her life by farming!

His Royal Highness's people stood up only sparingly, and the imperial censor stood up tremblingly with his knees on his knees, still not daring to express his anger.

"It's not enough to just kneel down for a while. Do you know that the drought in Cangzhou is severe and so many people have starved to death? I don't think you can survive even a day." The emperor's angry voice filled the entire hall.

The officials all knelt down again, while the imperial censor slumped in the golden palace. How did the emperor know about this!

He was sweating profusely and immediately crawled forward a few steps, "Wei Chen is guilty, Your Majesty, Wei Chen is guilty!"

"I don't know that all the civil and military officials in this dynasty are useless people. No one asked about things east of Cangzhou. Are you really ignorant, or are you deliberately deceiving me?"

"I don't dare." The officials were dripping with cold sweat, and no one dared to say a word.

"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave!"

The emperor glanced coldly at the ministers kneeling on the ground, as if he suddenly thought of something, and looked sideways at the prime minister who was standing in the front and had remained silent since he went to court.

"Xiao Aiqing, don't you know about the drought in Cangzhou?"

The person nominated by the emperor was wearing a black official uniform and golden auspicious cloud official boots. His face was solemn. Although he did not say a word, there was a faint chill coming from his body, making people afraid to provoke him easily.

The man raised his head when he heard the voice. Although his face was cold, he was extremely handsome and his eyes were quite charming.

Unexpectedly, the overall look is slightly feminine, without half of the masculinity of a man, but most of the handsomeness has been lost.

Xiao Ran's eyes were full of gloom, and he didn't look good even when facing the emperor.

But people around him have long been accustomed to it. Xiao Ran has become a different person since the death of his wife and children. His personality is extremely cold and his methods of handling things have become more unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, yesterday was the memorial day for my wife and son. During this time, I have been preparing for this matter. I am not very concerned about the affairs of the court. I really don't know that the imperial censor has committed such a treasonous act."

As soon as his voice changed, he added: "However, the censor is also my subordinate. He made a big mistake, and I am also responsible for his poor supervision."

He lifted up his robe, knelt on one knee, and solemnly said: "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

After this operation, the emperor could not find a reason even if he wanted to punish him.

The emperor pinched his brows and said with a headache: "Well, you did it unintentionally. In this case, I think the imperial censor is old, so why not give up his seat to a young man."

When the imperial censor who was kneeling at the bottom heard this, he collapsed on the ground in defeat.

He should be lucky that he could still save his life.

The imperial censor took off his official hat and placed it on the ground, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

He stood up tremblingly, glanced at Xiao Ran with a gloomy expression as he turned around, pursed his lips and walked away.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, Xiao Ran suggested: "Your Majesty, the position of imperial censor is vacant. I think Liu Qian can take on this responsibility, and I will definitely teach him carefully."

The emperor waved his hand casually and said lazily: "Let's wait until the drought issue east of Cangzhou is resolved."

Xiao Ran frowned and wanted to say something more, but the emperor calmly blocked him back, "Spring is coming. Instead of choosing someone taller from among the dwarfs, it's better to give the newcomers who have worked hard for many years a chance."

After the emperor finished speaking, he excused himself from the court on the excuse of fatigue.

Xiao Ran stood in the main hall, his black eyes staring gloomily at the empty dragon throne. He took his eyes back for a long time and turned around to leave.

The emperor rushed back to the study angrily, and the eunuch who followed him cautiously brought a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, please take a sip of tea to cool down your anger. Don't make yourself angry."

The emperor slammed the table hard, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and said, "This ignorant white-eyed wolf, does he really think that I won't do anything to him?"

The great eunuch certainly knew who the emperor was referring to by the white-eyed wolf, but now that he was in a position of high authority, it was even more difficult to seize the opponent's handle, and he really couldn't give any good advice.

After the emperor was angry, he sighed heavily and took a sip of tea. His tone suddenly became a little heavy and he said, "Usually at this time, Wei Aiqing can always find a way to make Xiao Ran feel frustrated."

The chief eunuch also said with emotion, "Yes, it's a good idea. General Wei has been away for nearly a year."

The emperor thought of something and asked with a serious face: "I asked you to investigate the folk rumors a few days ago. Have you got any new information?"

The eldest eunuch was also anxious, but he couldn't say what was in his heart. He could only find nice words to comfort the emperor, "The people I sent out didn't find out anything, but maybe it's a good thing that I didn't find out. I made a bold guess, General The news that he was killed should have been released by himself. Besides, General Jiren has his own destiny, and the emperor is thinking about you, so he will definitely come back safely."

The emperor sighed again, but the seriousness on his face faded a lot because the eunuch said these words, "You can say good things to make me feel relieved."

The eldest eunuch smiled lightly and said: "In front of the emperor, servants don't dare to speak big words."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I'm tired. Please help me go to the soft couch to rest for a while." The emperor rubbed his brows slightly tiredly.

Hearing this, the chief eunuch hurriedly came over, held his arm and slowly guided him behind the screen.

The emperor is over fifty years old. He has been busy with state affairs for many years, and his body and bones are no longer what he was in his prime.

In addition, there were many thoughtful ministers in the court who secretly opposed the emperor. The emperor was always angry and prone to illness.

The chief eunuch saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he could not relieve the emperor's worries.

The Wei family had been loyal to the royal family for generations, but Wei Shao was the only one left in his generation. His father, brother and others all died in the battlefield.

The emperor trusted Wei Shao the most, and the power in the court and down the court was also divided into two in the hands of Xie Wei and Wei Shao. The two could be regarded as equally matched opponents.

However, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, especially since Xiao Ran is still feared by the emperor and does not follow the right path. As a loyal emperor, Wei Shao naturally cannot let him do whatever he wants.

Xiao Ran returned to the mansion and went straight to the study.

He endured his anger and summoned several of his confidants.

Not long after, several people wearing hats and robes sneaked in from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

These people are the ministers of the court, namely the Minister of Industry, the General of the Left, and the Minister of Hubu.

The expressions of the three of them were not very good, and there was supposed to be one more person today, who was the dismissed doctor.

No one expected that the emperor would know about the drought in Cangzhou. They had obviously taken care of everything, and those officials would not dare to leak anything.

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes, revealing his cruelty, "You guys have benefited a lot from me. Did you enrich your own pockets while working for me?"
