Chapter 514 Backstabbing

The onlookers were stunned and stretched out their hands to the two people who were walking away: ???

Wait, what are your plans, little imperial master?

Speak up! Don't get stuck!

Only the prince felt inexplicably panicked by this look.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly turned around and looked at everyone: "My dear ministers, what are you going to do?"

The Minister of Rites, who was closest to the emperor, said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Seventh Princess later... ahem..." The Minister of Rites suddenly caught the emperor's speechless eyes.

Only then did he realize that the emperor might not be curious about what Yuanruan and Qiyue said.

The Minister of Rites cursed himself secretly and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can first ensure that the imperial examinations proceed normally."

Emperor: "How can you guarantee that?"

The Minister of Rites whispered, "According to the information provided by the system master, we can roughly identify which students are bad flags, and then control all the students related to these bad flags to prevent them from causing trouble during the imperial examination."

The emperor frowned slightly.

The Minister of Justice disagreed, saying, "Mr. Minister of Rites, you can only control them so that they don't make trouble on the day of the imperial examination. When they are released from prison, won't they still accuse the Xia Dynasty of cheating in the imperial examination? Or do you mean execution by control?"

The Minister of Rites shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I'm not going to kill them all. I mean, after they are put in jail, let the Ministry of Justice investigate for a while, release the safe ones, and then kill the bad ones."

The Minister of Justice continued to shake his head and laughed, "But the first step is to have no legitimate reason! Then it will be known that Daxia arbitrarily arrested innocent students and put them in jail. Very good, Daxia's reputation will be ruined, and those with ulterior motives will get what they want."

…

Starting with the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Punishments, the civil officials argued more and more fiercely.

There are many solutions, but none of them can perfectly solve the problem.

At this moment, the chief eunuch outside suddenly announced that the seventh princess was coming to see the emperor.

The emperor motioned for someone to come in.

Soon, Qi Yue took a big step back to her original position. After a pause, she cupped her hands and said, "My ninth sister said that because she got news from a powerful intelligence system, she went back to do some gossip and counted out all the people who would be unfavorable to Da Xia's imperial examination. The list is written here."

After these words were spoken, the court officials who had been arguing just now all breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be nice to have a specific list.

It is entirely possible to follow the Minister of Rites' method and capture the bad guys in advance, torture them, and then kill them. This way, we can see through the enemy's conspiracy and avoid the trouble of information leaks.

At this time, Qi Yue held out the paper with several names written on it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor took a look at it and handed it to the official from the Ministry of Personnel.

Because they have reviewed the names of all students participating in the Xia Ke Ju, they can quickly find their seats.

At this time, someone said in a casual tone, "I thought the Imperial Master would be here, using the turtle back to perfunctorily tell fortunes. I was also thinking about how to speak up to help him out. I didn't expect that I didn't have to. Ha, the Imperial Master actually got some intelligence out to take the blame. He has grown up after all, and his way of dealing with problems has become more mature."

When the prince heard the word "back-pot", his ear bones twitched sharply.

At this time, someone else bowed and asked Qi Yue: "May I ask the Seventh Princess, how did the Imperial Master describe the source of the intelligence? If I encounter it in the future, I will know the answer."

Qi Yue said coldly: "Keep it a secret."

Everyone: ???

The prince suddenly asked, "Did Jiuer say that her information came from the prince's intelligence network?"

Crowd: !!!
