Shuiyue took Mubai to a side hall in the back hall of Weiyang Palace.

Mu Bai took a look and saw a crimson official uniform stacked on the table. It was a genuine fifth-grade uniform.

Shuiyue's eyes like cold pool beads looked at Mubai:

"Sanlang, the current disaster situation is serious, and something happened to Mr. Li again. Your Majesty means that you will temporarily take up a post in the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the post is vacant, the Minister will be exempted from the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Mu Bai did not expect to become an official in the Liang Dynasty so soon.

However, the Empress' current situation does require a helper.

Shuiyue briefly explained to him the situation in the household department:

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and food. It can be said to be the lifeblood of the imperial court. In the past, Wei Qian's gang members were in control. Your Majesty later inserted Mr. Li there, hoping to take the opportunity to beat Wei Qian."

"But this time the disaster broke out, His Majesty also realized that the water in Hubu was too deep and too muddy for Mr. Li to be able to disturb it alone."

Mu Bai didn't say anything. He took the Heart Eclipse Pill and didn't know how many days he would live. He could only cross the river by feeling the stones and take one step at a time.

Mu Bai smiled and said while putting on his official uniform:

"It's the fifth level right from the start. It's like riding the Cloud-Piercing Arrow!"

You must know that there are tens of thousands of officials in the world who have studied hard for ten years in a cold window. After passing the exam in high school, they can only be a candidate for the sixth grade or below.

If you have no connections and no financial resources, you will be on the waiting list for the rest of your life.

But who knows that Mu Bai’s connections are the current His Majesty!

It was his destiny to pursue an official career.

Shuiyue, this girl, may not be big, but her tone is quite big:

"You are a little fifth-rank sesame official. In this important place in the capital, a brick can kill a large area. How are you enjoying it? If you weren't worried about someone making irresponsible remarks, Your Majesty would not allow you to be directly ranked as the third official."

"Spare me, I still want to live a few more days." Mu Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly. The three princes in the court were all big shots at the center of the power vortex!

Mu Bai suddenly thought of something and needed to prepare early, so he asked Shui Yue to do it.

"Miss Shuiyue, could you please find someone to catch a hundred grasshoppers in the Royal Garden?"

"Grasshopper? Locust? What do you want to do?"

Shui Yue stared at him as if he had seen a ghost. Now people in Daliang are afraid of locusts when they mention them. This thing is evil!

Mu Bai gave up and said, "Listen to me, whether you can save Master Li or not depends entirely on these grasshoppers."

Can grasshoppers save people?

Shuiyue was doubtful, but since it was Mu Bai who told him, he couldn't be wrong.

"Then you go in first and I'll find someone to arrest you."

"Excuse me!"

After putting on his official uniform, Mu Bai tiptoed to the political hall of Weiyang Palace. The scene was extremely shocking.

The ministers of civil and military affairs were separated on the left and right, and the open space in the middle was much larger than the low-cost scenes with shabby crews on TV. It was more than enough to play a 5v5 basketball game.

Mu Bai quickly stood on the civil servant's side. The atmosphere in the palace was tense and no one paid attention to him.

Mu Bai raised his head and looked at Lingyan Ji, who was sitting in the position of the Nine-Five Master, and was astonished.

It was very different from the simple look she saw in Kunning Palace last time. The gold jewelry and jade on her head had completely covered her hair, revealing a face that captivated all living beings.

Just as Lingyan Ji was looking at Mu Bai, she felt a little more at ease.

She didn't expect that she, who had experienced hundreds of battles and was a master of martial arts, would feel safe because of the arrival of a young handsome man.

I can’t help but sigh in my heart: When did I become secular!

The military general is headed by Tong Dingzhuo, the "shoulder-level king".

The civil servants were headed by the auxiliary Duke Wei Qian.

Both of them are San Gong.

The other one is Huaiyang Hou Tan Guowei, who is known as the "wind vane of the court". Whenever something important happens in the court, his body and bones will fall ill on time.

"Master Tan is sick again today?"

"Hey, normal operation. A few days ago, His Majesty issued an edict to make Changling the capital. Looking at the posture of Lord Wei, he will not give up until Li Si is killed."

It was the two adults in front of Mu Bai who spoke.

It seems that among the hundreds of officials, there are many people who are watching the fun and don't think it's a big deal!

With Mu Bai coming to the scene to help, the empress also took reassurance and said loudly:

"Cao Qing, go on."

The empress' majestic voice echoed in the vast hall.

At this time, in the middle of the main hall, there was a middle-aged man wearing purple official uniform, holding a ceremonial wat.

The censor of Zuodu, Cao Jianren, was of the third rank.

Seeing him bowing and saying:

"Your Majesty, Li Si, the Minister of Household Affairs, had violent conflicts with local officials and wealthy businessmen during the disaster relief work in Qingzhou, and killed many people.

These people had not yet been tried by the three departments and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. They had not yet been convicted. Li Si dared to kill someone without permission, and the person he killed was an official of the imperial court.

As a result, no one in Qingzhou's officialdom dared to contribute to the disaster.

Li Si's ruthless tactics are the main culprit for the worsening locust plague in Qingzhou. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish Li Si severely."

Tsk tsk tsk!

Mu Bai shook his head after hearing this. The censor always spoke with this kind of virtue, spitting swords and threatening his life with every sentence.

No wonder all the officials were afraid of being impeached by the censor, and the timid ones would be frightened by him.

Lingyan Ji's eyebrows narrowed.

Li Si's difficulties have been mentioned many times in the secret book. This year's locust plague is really severe, and thousands of miles of fertile fields have been eaten away.

Coupled with the serious corruption, it is good to see that 30% of the money allocated by the court reaches the victims.

Not killing is not enough to vent public anger.

The empress must be protecting the calf, and said loudly:

"Corruption is rampant in Qingzhou officialdom, collusion between officials and businessmen is taking advantage of the common people. It was I who allowed Li Si to use extraordinary means during extraordinary times."

The empress's attitude is very clear: I tell him to handle things; I allow him to kill people.

Although Cao Jianren has a sharp tongue, he has no brains at all.

He did not dare to collide with the empress.

At this time, when he saw that he was silent, Tong Dingzhuo, the leader of the military generals and known as the "shoulder-level king", walked over, showing off his domineering attitude and wearing armor like a world-killing Mora.

With his thick eyebrows upside down, he glanced at Cao Jianren and sneered:

"Master Cao, I've been struggling all morning. Hey... what kind of grudge does Li Si have against you? He killed your whole family? Ah? You wouldn't be happy if you didn't kill him, right?"

Tong Dingzhuo speaks so...elegantly.

Cao Jianren was so scolded by Tong Dingzhuo that he could not lift his head. He did not dare to respond and his whole body was trembling.

He is just a leading dog, and barking fiercely is also the owner’s intention!

Later, in the civil servant camp facing Tong Dingzhuo, an old man with a profound knowledge of the city said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? As the censor of Zuodu, it is his duty to supervise all officials. Especially when the disaster is raging, he cannot allow some lawless people to act recklessly."

When Tong Dingzhuo heard this, he glanced sideways, then chuckled and sneered:

"Master Wei, I know you are in a bad mood these days, but you shouldn't vent your anger on Li Si! Tie up your dog and don't let it out and bite you randomly."

Wei Qian's eyes were ruthless: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your wording. Mr. Cao is no one's dog. He is an official of the imperial court."

Tong Dingzhuo glared at him: "I just called him a dog. What can he do to me? How dare he mess with me? Try messing with me!"

Tong Dingzhuo looked like I'm playing a rogue, but do you care?

Wei Qian is very good at playing with power, but he is really no match for Tong Dingzhuo when he plays tricks.

I had to shut up for the time being.

At this time, Cao Jianren was thinking, there is really no need to use me as cannon fodder when two great masters are fighting!

When the empress saw that the situation was gradually coming back, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

"Okay, stop arguing. Let's talk about Li Si's matter after he returns to Beijing. Disasters are spreading in Qingzhou, and the top priority is to come up with a strategy to deal with locusts. Do you have any good strategies?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone whispered.

Who can fight against the locusts in the sky!

That thing was gnawing everywhere, and everything that was edible was wiped out.

The officials were helpless.
