The court was suddenly in an uproar.
Some ministers looked excited, while others frowned...
The emperor remained silent, and when Jun Baozhu heard it, she couldn't help but look outside the palace.
The prince looked calm and composed, and the expressions of the ministers around him were...
Except for a few ostentatious and unscrupulous officials, the expressions of other ministers became increasingly solemn.
Jun Baozhu's childish voice was heard again in the hall.
[The guards had just arrived, and by coincidence, a fire broke out? ]
[This fire is really sensible. It came at the right time. It would have come sooner rather than later...]
[Just when Father and Prince Brother were sending someone to retrieve the sealed answer sheet...]
[After all, they dared not openly disobey their father's order, nor did they dare to suddenly say that the case file had been lost...]
[Otherwise, I still can’t escape blame...]
[But if a fire breaks out suddenly, it’s different, right? ]
[No one has any evidence that the fire was set by the Ministry of Rites themselves.]
The Fire Phoenix, who was lying beside the imperial chair, stretched her neck to give a reminder.
Jun Baozhu said solemnly, [The fire was set by the two officials from the Ministry of Rites who were burned?]
[So, even the evidence of the fire disappeared along with them? ]
[Even if the emperor were to hold them accountable, the most he could do is to punish them for lax management, and they just happened to be able to shirk responsibility for the burning of the answer sheet? ]
In the hall, many ministers who bowed their heads did think so.
But because he lowered his head, the brilliance in his eyes was completely obscured.
Jun Baozhu snorted, [They thought that this was the end? ]
[Humph! That's too much of an underestimation of Father and Brother Crown Prince! ]
[Such a blatant provocation, what do they think of their fathers? 】
【Wait for the punishment! 】
Jun Baozhu's voice was proud, and her heart gradually calmed down.
The prince took out a paper bag from his arms.
Judging from the size, it is not difficult to guess that it should be the answer sheet of the examinee that the prince said he brought back personally.
The prince bowed, "Father, the Ministry of Rites failed in its duty, from the defense of the examination room to the maintenance of order in the examination room...
The fire in the spare answer sheet is to blame. The officials of the Ministry of Rites not only manage the ancestral temple ceremonies, but also guard the entrance to the imperial examinations...
I cannot share my father's worries, and the problems are still deep and lasting. I suggest...
The existing positions of officials above the fourth rank in the Ministry of Rites will be abolished.
Check carefully, if there is no problem, transfer and retain the employee.
If there is any problem, it will be dealt with according to the law! "
There are quite a few officials associated with the Ministry of Rites.
However, no one dared to speak rashly at this moment...
After all, the crown prince was assassinated in the examination hall. If the second prince had not rescued him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous...
There must be something wrong with the arrangement made by the Ministry of Rites.
The prince's safety is a matter of great importance, but who dares to jump out at this moment...
This means that the assassination of the prince was treated as a trivial matter.
If the emperor were to punish someone, it would not be excessive to put all the officials of the Ministry of Rites in jail.
The emperor looked at the ministers standing at the steps, seemingly respectful and humble...
There was a chill in his eyes.
They look docile, but they are fierce and fierce, and their plans are aimed at the prince!
His expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of gentleness.
He raised his hand to let the prince stand up, "My son, you have worked hard and you are frightened!
If you have no objection, then follow the Crown Prince's opinion!"
The ministers all had their own thoughts and responded in agreement.
After all, it's just a thorough investigation, there are still ways to mediate.
The prince also said that if no problems were found, he could be transferred to another position and retained...
It's much better than going to jail or being beheaded.
The prince ordered the officials of the Ministry of Justice to do it immediately.
Just when the ministers felt a little relieved, the little princess suddenly spoke.
[What? The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already arranged for the examiners to examine the papers in advance...]
[After receiving the answer sheet last night, I notified the examiner overnight...]
[Now that the emperor has removed them from their positions, do the examiners they arranged still count? ]
Fire Phoenix: [It is highly likely that it will not count. ]
[The people in the Ministry of Rites have problems, who would dare to use the people they recommend? ]
Jun Baozhu was certain in her heart, [That’s it! ]
[Doesn't that mean they worked in vain? ]
[Including those bandits who hijacked the test papers on the way? ]
[Hahaha! Scheming and scheming, thinking everything is under control! ]
[Let them learn a lesson, what is Dafengchao's last name! ]
[Father is not stupid, and the prince is not that weak! ]
[Dare to stand in front of the royal family, the consequences will be waiting for you! ]
Upon hearing this, the emperor's brows couldn't help but relax.
Although looking into his arms, he is still just a child who is curious about everything around him, but his vision and momentum are enough to prove his status.
Seeing his sister's inner thoughts revealed, the prince took advantage of the situation and suggested:
"Father, I suggest that you re-select the examiners.
The Ministry of Rites made a mistake in its work, and the original recommended candidates need to be considered...
But time is running out, and there is a vacant position in the court that needs someone urgently...
I suggest that we finish the examination and the palace examination as soon as possible, and add officials from the Ministry of Rites when selecting talents."
As soon as the voice fell, a group of people knelt down behind him.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
