"Aunt, why do you need Ajiang if you want to eat? Ze'er will pick it up for you personally." Xu Tianze smiled helplessly and helped the wise king to block it back.
By the way, he took the serving chopsticks directly from the virtuous king's hand and picked up a piece of pork ribs for the eldest princess.
Seeing Xu Tianze's flattering smile, the princess glared at him fiercely, then turned her attention to the food.
Her Princess Mansion has become more and more lively since Ze'er returned to the capital.
"Did you bring the name list?" Xu Tianze picked up another piece of pork ribs for the wise king, then looked at Long Musi and Song Yu.
As for the portion for the virtuous king, it was handed to him just now when they were the only two in the room.
"Of course I brought it." Long Musi and Song Yu looked at each other and nodded.
Just as the two were about to take something out of their arms, Xu Tianze stopped them.
"Let's wait until the prince comes and take it out." Xu Tianze shook his head and then focused on eating.
He didn't get up at all in the morning and slept until now, so he was naturally hungry.
Since I have brought the things, there is no need to rush, so I might as well fill my stomach first.
As for the list of names, Xu Tianze naturally didn't care whether the three of them had a backup or not. Since he asked them to do this, he was actually tacitly agreeing that they should directly make a backup and plan for some benefits.
After all, if you want a horse to run well, you must feed it well.
"Oh, it seems that Your Highness has arrived at the right time. Hurry up and bring the bowls and chopsticks." As soon as the prince came in, he saw the eldest princess having a meal, and he came over directly without any hesitation.
Seeing another empty seat and unused dishes and chopsticks, he knew that this was the seat reserved for him, so he sat down.
Seeing that no one else asked the servants to serve him the food, he stopped the guards who were about to serve him the food and picked up the food himself.
The eldest princess's eyes twitched when she saw the prince's behavior, but she still endured it and ate her meal in silence.
As for Xu Tianze and others, they simply ignored the prince's actions. Although the prince was stupid, he was sometimes extremely smart.
Although the prince is extremely successful, he is often deceived and cannot see any clues at all.
"After having a good meal and a good drink, the renovation of the Imperial Examination Hall will be completed soon. What do you say?" The prince slowly sipped the tea that had just been served, looked around and then set his sights on Xu Tianze.
After all, it was Xu Tianze who first called on him to join in stopping the imperial examination and promised to give him some benefits.
Xu Tianze smiled and directly placed the list of people given to him by the wise king on the table. Seeing this, Long Musi and Song Yu also directly placed their copies on the table.
"The people listed above were all found during the renovation of the Imperial Examination Hall. Let's see who's inside and then we can talk."
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he picked up the tea and savored it slowly. The sphere of influence of those who were sitting here now directly covered most of the court.
A strict order was issued before the renovation began, but a lot of corruption was still discovered. Among them, some were done under false names or by other unknown forces, so they could be cleaned up directly.
Whether to keep it, hand it over, or directly replace the person is all determined by this small piece of paper.
"Isn't Censor Yan your man, Second Prince? Why wasn't he informed?" The prince raised his head from a piece of paper and looked at the virtuous king in confusion.
The wise king saw the foolish and clear eyes of the prince and snorted with disdain. It was impossible that he had not been informed. It was just that this man had something to hide.
"Royal brother, don't you notice that you have the most people on this paper?" The wise king said indifferently with a mocking look on his face.
This idiot still has the nerve to talk about him, without even looking at his own weight. At least none of the three of them made any big mistakes.
"Brother, such a big problem has occurred under your command. Did you forget to inform your subordinates?" Long Musi was quite understanding and gave the prince a way out.
However, the steps were too familiar, making it difficult for the prince to lift his feet.
However, out of trust in his subordinates, the prince did not immediately open his mouth to refute, but directly took the other two pieces of paper and carefully checked the names on them.
"Your Highness, your position as Crown Prince is really secure. One-third of your subordinates have ulterior motives, yet you can still remain safe and sound." Song Yu sighed from the side, his eyes filled with hypocritical envy.
Xu Tianze didn't care much about the list of names, so he asked the prince and his three companions to go and see it. However, when he suddenly heard the sarcasm from Song Yu and the other two, there was surprise in his eyes.
He glanced at the prince, then drank the tea in the cup as if nothing had happened. The prince's behavior was indeed a bit strange.
First, we should rule out the possibility that the three virtuous kings were deliberately targeting the crown prince, and directly search for the possibility that the crown prince's subordinates were corrupt in the imperial examination. After all, doing so is too risky and will also arouse the suspicion of Emperor Gan.
If Emperor Gan ordered a second search and the results were different, the three virtuous kings would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
There are only two possibilities. One is that the prince himself is so stupid that he has been kept in the dark by his subordinates, allowing them to act recklessly in the name of the prince.
However, the prince has grown up to this age. If he is really so stupid, he would not have been able to grow up to this age even with the protection of the queen and the Nan family.
"It's really interesting." Xu Tianze sighed with a gleam in his eyes.
He really underestimated the prince. If the last possibility was the case, then all the things that were wrong in the past would seem reasonable.
The virtuous king and others thought Xu Tianze was just saying that the list was interesting, so they didn't take it too seriously.
Only the prince's heart trembled. He raised his head silently and suddenly looked into Xu Tianze's eyes. From those deep pupils, the prince felt that all his calculations seemed to be exposed.
But he still forced himself to give Xu Tianze an honest smile, then lowered his head and continued to look at the list in his hand as if nothing had happened.
"Prince, how much of this person do you want to keep?" Xu Tianze looked at the prince with a strange smile on his face.
He saw all the little movements of the prince just now, and it further confirmed his guess.
"Hmph, I will not spare any of these traitorous bastards. I will hand them all over to my father for disposal." The prince snorted coldly, with anger on his face.
It was as if he was really angry at his subordinates. If Xu Tianze had not known that the prince was hiding something, he might have been deceived.
"Idiot! Do you want to move out of the Eastern Palace directly without removing any of the names on this list?" The eldest princess was so angry that her teeth ached when she saw that the prince was still acting stupidly.
