Several ministers present suddenly became uneasy and had long forgotten why they were there.
Who can guarantee whether their relatives have done anything in the local area under their names?
[A local official from Jiangnan filed a complaint with the Crown Prince, who then passed the secret order to the old emperor.]
Except for the Minister of Personnel, all the ministers present were nervous but pretending to be calm.
Then he looked at the Minister of Personnel with some envy.
I used to feel that the Minister of Personnel was so pitiful because he was alone, but now I think it’s pretty good for him to be alone.
So who did you sue?
[Oh my god, the prince is really cruel. The local official was talking about the prince's protector.]
What?
The prince's guardian?
The six ministers were stunned.
If they remembered correctly, the Crown Prince was quite respectful to the Crown Prince's Guardian. Unexpectedly...
Immediately, several people showed great respect to the prince, saying that he was truly selfless and worthy of being the crown prince.
[The brothers and sisters of the Prince's Guardian are all in their hometown. They took advantage of their status as the Prince's Guardian to do many evil things, and even didn't pay taxes. Not paying taxes would have been fine, but they also swallowed the local taxes in their hometown into their own pockets, and then gave most of the money to the Prince's Guardian as a filial act.]
The Six Ministers: So that’s how it is. No wonder the prince wants to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
[Normally speaking, everyone has their own selfish motives, but the prince was so quick this time, there must be something fishy going on.]
Shen Zhiyi's brain circuit when eating melons is different from others. He instantly thought of possibilities that others had not thought of.
[It's so funny. The prince appears to be respectful to the prince's guardian, but in fact he is annoyed by him. ]
[The prince's guard always complains that the prince doesn't like to take a bath. 】
Well, yes, the prince can’t get over the problem that he doesn’t like taking baths.
[Of course, there are many people who dislike the prince for not liking to take a bath, but this prince's assistant preaches to him every day, which makes the prince feel a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter.]
The Six Ministers: No, this is very important. We didn’t expect the prince to be so petty. They have to think carefully about whether they have offended the prince.
[The Prince's Guardian thinks he has some literary skills, but in fact he looks down on the Prince. His handwriting is ugly, and everything he says is in plain language. Uh, it seems that the Prince's Guardian should also look down on me. Great, I am actually on the same level as the Prince! ]
"Ahem."
Although they didn’t drink the water, some people were so shocked by Shen Zhiyi’s words that they choked on their saliva.
The six ministers of state thought helplessly, is this something to be proud of!!!
But Shen Zhiyi's words made them feel familiar.
But I just can't remember.
But the Minister of War remembered it!
He lowered his voice excitedly and said: “Shen Lang said something similar before.”
The prince was also present, so he naturally knew about this. It seemed that the prince held a grudge against me because of this.
Far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the prince, who was munching on a pancake to scratch his itch, sneezed violently.
"A-choo, most likely Shen Zhiyi is talking about something bad about me again."
He glanced at the timid governor beside him with a look of disdain.
"The news has already reached Father. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Your Highness, I am truly grateful."
"No need to thank me. You are a good official at best. Your daughter should be fine."
The prince was not sure either, but he was shocked when he heard about the beastly things the Prince's Guard had done in his hometown.
【What the hell? 】
[Also, why does this prince think I would nag him?! ]
Shen Zhiyi was confident at first, but soon shrank his neck guiltily.
[Is it because I was eating someone's melon behind their back? But what kind of beastly thing did the prince's guard do? ]
Shen Zhiyi kept digging, and after he finished, his face turned green with anger.
[Fuck, what a beast. ]
[The old emperor should know about this, right? ]
What's the matter?
The six ministers were confused.
At this moment, someone suddenly came from outside the shop and went straight into the private room where they were.
The person who came was Chen Decai.
"Oh, how come all of you are here? You are so hard to find. The emperor has something urgent to discuss with you."
[Oh, it seems like he knows. ]
Chen Decai: ???
His anxious face instantly turned into an enthusiastic expression, and he took small steps and walked towards Shen Zhiyi's direction.
"Oh, Chen Lang is here too. That's perfect. You need to go with us too."
Shen Zhiyi: …
[Aaaaaaah, I was called to work overtime at the last minute. I forgot to eat hotpot because I was eating melons. There is nothing more heartbreaking in the world than this. ]
The Six Ministers: What did we come here for in the first place?
The seven of them were not in good shape, and when they arrived in front of the old emperor, they were still not in good shape.
The old emperor was chattering away, but no one knew what he was saying.
Seven people are down there: who am I and why am I here.
The old emperor has talked until his mouth is dry.
"My dear ministers, do you know about this?"
Seven people: It’s so strange that we are standing here suddenly!
"What are you doing?"
The old emperor rolled up his sleeves and went up to fight each of them.
The six ministers of ministries, who had regained their composure, immediately responded to the old emperor.
The old emperor said angrily, "Did you old guys listen to what I just said?"
"Your Majesty, it is unjust, we listen to it."
"Then tell me what I just said?"
The old man stepped back, revealing the Minister of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel was helplessly preparing to repeat what the old emperor had just said, but the old emperor woke up and slapped the Minister of Personnel away.
"I'm young and listening, you old guys are just daydreaming, let's talk about serious matters."
Seeing that they couldn't escape, the old guys just came one by one.
Minister of Works: "Your Majesty, you just said that the Crown Prince sent a secret order from Jiangnan."
Minister of War: "That secret order is related to the Crown Prince's Guardian."
Minister of Rites: "The relatives of the Crown Prince's Guardian are rampant and tyrannical in their hometown, doing all kinds of evil, and even swindled the daughter of the local governor away."
The Minister of Revenue said: "The governor originally wanted to use his daughter to gain power, but he didn't expect that his daughter was not sent to the Crown Prince's Guardian as a concubine, but to Muyue Tower."
Minister of Justice: "That's why His Majesty just asked me if I knew about Muyue Tower."
The old emperor, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel: ...
[Wow, so awesome! We are all from Tianya Shenyou, why are you so awesome!!!]
[I didn’t hear what the old emperor said. I only found out after watching the surveillance video playback.]
The five ministers didn't know why, but suddenly they felt a force that made them straighten their chests.
Basic operations, these are all basic operations.
[Hiss, hiss, it turns out that the prince was in a hurry to pass this news to the old emperor because of Muyue Tower. ]
The five ministers said: Very good, it seems they have wrongly accused the prince, thinking that he was a petty person.
[But the governor sold his daughter to get promoted, so why did the prince say that he was just a good official? ]
Old Emperor: Is this the point?
The key point is to take a quick look at that Moon Tower!
