The next morning is crucial...
So, although the emperor estimated that the morning court session would last a long time...
So I felt sorry for her, but I still asked Concubine Li to take her baby daughter out and take her to the court...
Instruct Concubine Li to wait behind the palace...
In case you feel hungry or sleepy at any time...
When she came into the emperor's arms, Jun Baozhu could not hide her excitement.
[Great! ]
[I can go to court with my father now! ]
[I can now see what kind of surprise my father and my brother the crown prince have prepared for the ministers! ]
The emperor tilted his head, and thought, his daughter is a lucky star...
What was there that she didn't know?
He became more and more confident, strode into the hall with his head held high.
All officials bowed and kowtowed, with the crown prince at the head of the group sitting at the front.
The courtiers saw that the little princess in the emperor's hands...
One day without seeing you feels like three years, and the feeling becomes more and more appropriate.
Everyone is looking forward to today's morning court session.
Some court officials came out to report on government affairs...
The emperor raised his hand to stop him and told him to wait and report back.
The prince then stepped out and reported to the court the events of yesterday, including the assassination in the examination hall, the attack on the guards while escorting the sealed examination papers, etc.
Assassinating the prince is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the country.
Although, what happened yesterday has been reported one after another...
But through the prince's personal account, they realized how powerful the assassination gang was...
The court officials started out by whispering, and their discussions gradually grew louder.
I was worried about the prince's safety, and then I thought of another thing...
Enke sealed the answer sheet and was attacked on the way...
This matter is so perfect, and they haven't heard about it?
The officials present all looked at the officials from the Ministry of Rites...
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were sanctimonious and pretended to be ignorant.
The court officials heard that during this time, the deputy director of the examination hall who was escorting the answer sheets was temporarily controlled by the attackers...
Coincidentally, they all thought of one thing...
Are the answer sheets of their students, relatives and friends intact?
The emperor and the prince certainly knew what they were worried about...
But the prince did not move.
At this time, an official jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Enkeben is a decree of Your Majesty, which concerns the quality of young officials entering the court...
Therefore, during the attack, the safety of the examination papers must be strictly checked.
If there is a next time, even if it is invalidated, we cannot let the person behind the scenes get in!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several officials jumped out at the same time.
"This is wrong! Your Majesty, I cannot agree with you!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! You specially set up the imperial examination. How can you just cancel it?
If this gets out, where will your reputation and that of the court be put?"
"Your Majesty, please be careful!"
......
Among the crowd of voices, the emperor has not yet spoken...
A familiar childish voice sounded from directly above.
【You guys are really funny! 】
[Until now, I have not worried about whether the test paper has been damaged or whether someone has replaced the test paper...]
[Only caring about appearances, no matter what went wrong with the test paper, for the sake of the so-called face of the court, you have to bite the bullet and continue? ]
[Even though we were attacked while escorting the answer sheet, it was clear that the other party came just for the answer sheet...]
[You guys are so protective, I can't help but wonder, whose side are you on? ]
[Is it for the sake of the father, the emperor, or the master behind the scenes? 】
[I am worried that the emperor will invalidate the results and your young master will not be able to be selected...]
【Isn't all this work in vain? 】
The official who just jumped out and wanted to stop the emperor before he made a decision...
At this moment, their faces turned pale and they all lowered their heads.
The ministers in the court all quieted down, no longer showing their previous momentum...
The emperor raised his lips silently.
The two officials from the Ministry of Rites knelt down and made a final effort.
"Your Majesty, when the examination papers were sent to the Ministry of Rites by the deputy director of the Examination Yuan, the officials of the Ministry of Rites carefully checked them...
Intact, not disassembled..."
"Indeed! Your Majesty, I was one of the inspecting officials at that time..."
The prince heard this but did not turn around.
He raised the corners of his lips silently, with a cold look on his face.
What a substitution of concepts!
The test paper used is sealed and intact, the replacement test paper has no problems, and the test paper is intact...
It seemed like a casual mention, but the deputy director of the Examination Yuan and many people in the court already knew about it. The director of the Examination Yuan and the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were present had been arrested and put on trial...
Everyone knows that the deputy director was appointed by the prince on the spot. When the test papers were handed over, the deputy director did not respond and the test papers were damaged...
In a faint way, the people employed by the prince himself did not say there was any problem...
Just no problem.
But the old guards in the court had heard from the prince himself that the attackers were numerous and the guards the prince had arranged could not escape...
The deputy director of the examination institute was surrounded and powerless. Only a fool would believe him if he said the test papers were fine!
At this moment, the little princess's mocking voice came from the hall:
[Do they think the emperor is a fool? ]
[Do you still think that the prince is also a fool?! ]
