At this moment, the entrance to the eldest prince's residence was not crowded with visitors.
But the doorman also received countless letters, which were visiting cards from officials requesting to see him.
Naturally, this kind of news could not be concealed, and those officials began to think about their own way of survival.
Leaving the city is impossible, the most likely option is to ask the princes to persuade him.
After all, no one knows how many court officials are involved in this imperial examination cheating case.
It is hard to say whether these court officials will reveal all other things once they are arrested.
There is nothing new under the sun as long as one is willing to investigate.
How many high-ranking officials are honest? Or even if there are any honest ones at all, it is hard to say.
It all depends on what the Emperor's purpose is and how many people he wants to kill.
After all, if the emperor kills too many officials in the imperial court, will the entire bureaucratic system no longer function?
And you can't guarantee that the new officials will not be corrupt...
However, this was just speculation and they had no idea, so they wanted to ask to see the eldest prince.
Let the eldest prince persuade His Majesty, or find out His Majesty's intentions, to make this matter smaller or even nothing.
Just let the people from the Ministry of Personnel be scapegoats, and don't involve anyone else.
But unfortunately, the eldest prince is now ill.
The late spring cold snap was severe, and he caught a cold occasionally. He was afraid of infecting the officials who were the pillars of the court, so in order to get his work done, he chose not to see any guests.
In the mansion, the eldest prince was sitting on a stone table, so he was naturally not sick.
I was a little conflicted, considering whether to meet those officials.
After all, if we help with this matter, we can also do these officials a favor.
Chen Qun and Zhao Yan sat on the sides of the eldest prince. There was another person, who was the eldest prince's former adviser, named Zou Li.
He was the one who gave advice to the eldest prince regarding the disaster relief in Jianghuai.
Seeing the eldest prince in a dilemma, Chen Qun smiled and poured him a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, do you know what His Majesty means now?
If Your Highness rashly goes to plead for mercy now, it would offend His Majesty.” Chen Qun began to explain.
The eldest prince met these two great sages when he passed by the capital.
But when he saw these two people debating, he was shocked after hearing what they said, so he treated them as guests of honor.
Now that the imperial court is in turmoil, it is natural that we want to hear the opinions of these people.
The eldest prince was still a little confused and said, "Father, it's impossible for you to kill all these officials, right?
Now I’m doing you a favor…”
"What are these favors for? Do they help Your Highness in any way?
They also went to ask other princes for help. If all the princes went to plead for them, then who would they help?
It's just a free profit." Chen Qun said helplessly after taking a sip of tea.
"But if I don't go, will the other brothers seize the opportunity?" The eldest prince sighed. This matter was of great importance and he didn't know what to do.
After hearing this, Chen Qun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the other princes are all like this.
I don't know what His Majesty means right now, so I can't possibly ask for mercy."
Zhao Yan, who was handsome and heroic, also said to the eldest prince:
"I wonder what Your Highness thinks of these officials?"
The eldest prince was stunned, not knowing why the question was asked, but he still answered, "He is indeed talented, but he is obsessed with profit."
"Then can these officials be used by Your Highness?" Zhao Yan asked again in a deep voice.
"If I were the monarch, I could..." The eldest prince said this, but it also made it clear.
But when he was a prince, it was difficult for him to get the support of these powerful officials.
Even if I helped them, they would not stand with me. After all, this thing might be more dangerous.
"If that's the case, then what's the benefit of helping them?
"Your Highness, have you ever considered replacing all these officials with your own people?" Zhao Yan said something shocking.
What this meant, of course, was to kick someone when they were down and kill all these officials.
The eldest prince's adviser Zou Li was silent at first, but his eyes lit up when he heard this. Why was he the eldest prince's retainer?
It was because he was heartbroken by the imperial examination, offended people, and felt that his talent was not appreciated.
Therefore, he did not speak a word, fearing that the eldest prince would think he wanted to take revenge.
But the two people in front of him had the same opinion as him.
That is, these officials are not only unable to help them.
We also want to add insult to injury, and ideally, create a clear and peaceful world.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible... These officials symbolize the stability of the country. If they are all killed..." The eldest prince listened to the suggestion and thought for a moment before speaking.
Zhao Yan shook his head. He knew that this world was different from the original world.
This world possesses extraordinary power. If other worlds wanted to kill such officials, it would naturally cause chaos in the world.
After all, the aristocratic families and the imperial court ruled the world together, but it was a pity.
But the aristocratic families in this world only account for a part of them.
