However, the censor, Lord Liu, refused to give up and spoke out.

"Whether I am exaggerating or not is up to your majesty to decide, but my sincere heart is evident to the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon. I am worthy of Daxing and your majesty."

The Seventh Prince was unable to win the argument with the censor, so he was naturally defeated. Minister Jin gritted his teeth as he watched the Seventh Prince being defeated.

When he went to court today, he was completely caught off guard.

It is simply unbelievable that Du Si died!

His original intention was to encroach on the enemy secretly and slowly calm the matter down, but who knew that he would not keep a close eye on his son and let him escape again, and even did something that gave rise to such criticism!

This son is simply here to collect debts. Will he not stop until he has dragged the entire family to death?

Thinking of this, he made up his mind, his eyes became fierce, and then he spoke with resignation.

"Since the rebellious son has committed such a crime, which is intolerable under the laws of the country and the family, then please let the people of the Law Department deal with him according to the law. I have no complaints!"

Jin Shangshu originally had more than one son, and he was not the one who would take on the responsibility of supporting the family in the future, so he just gave him up.

Although it hurts, he has to do it for the sake of his family and future.

Poor young man from the Jin family doesn't know about this yet and is sleeping soundly.

After hearing that Shangshu Jin had sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice, the censors knew that too much is as bad as too little, so they naturally stopped pursuing him.

Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince looked at each other and felt that the time had come.

So, taking this opportunity, the prince stood up and, for the first time ever, said something good for the Minister of Jin, which added to his reputation of being virtuous and generous.

"Minister Jin is so righteous, I admire you! Father, since Minister Jin didn't know about this matter beforehand, let's punish him lightly, otherwise if we really punish him severely, it will easily make people feel disheartened, right?"

The Emperor of Daxing was not thinking about state affairs, so after hearing the prince's words, he just casually dismissed him.

"Your Highness is right. You can handle this matter."

"Yes, Father."

Then he yawned again and spoke to everyone.

"Since you, my dear ministers, have nothing to report, let's adjourn the court."

After saying this, he didn't care about others at all. He stood up and left with the eunuchs and palace servants, leaving behind the disappointed court officials and the prince who had long been accustomed to it.

He has been regent for many years and can handle such a small situation with ease.

So he smiled and raised his voice and spoke.

"Let the matter of the young man from the Jin family be handled by the people from the Law Department. I will know the results of the handling within three days."

"yes."

Several lower officials from the Law Department stood up, and when the Fourth Prince saw those people, he felt very disappointed. They were all the Crown Prince's men. It seemed that the young man from the Jin family was about to die.

On the other hand, after Shangshu Jin proposed that the Ministry of Laws and Regulations handle his son's affairs, he showed no expression at all. It was obvious that his behavior was tantamount to abandoning his own son.

Seeing how "calm" he was, the Fourth Prince could only suppress the restlessness in his heart, let his facial expression gradually return to calm, and watched coldly as the Crown Prince handled state affairs.

After talking about the young man from the Jin family, there is still the Minister of Jin kneeling below, and the prince will not let him go easily.

But the performance must still be performed, he said to the Minister Jin.

"Mr. Jin is innocent in many cases, but the problem is that someone in your palace has gone wrong, so the major crime can be forgiven, and the minor crime can be determined. You will be demoted to the position of Left Vice Minister, and your performance will be evaluated again in three years."

From Shangshu to Zuo Shilang, it seems like a downgrade, but in fact it is two levels. After all, the power of You Shilang is greater than that of Zuo Shilang.

The most important thing is that the next performance evaluation can only be conducted three years later, but a new performance evaluation of all officials will be concluded in April this year. If the Right Vice Minister is successfully promoted, then he will have no hope of becoming the Shangshu.

The prince is really good at killing people and destroying their hearts, which is indeed a "small punishment for a big warning".

However, Minister Jin could only kneel down to thank the Crown Prince for not pursuing the matter, and those party officials who were attached to the Fourth Prince were also slightly shaken at this moment.

The power of the Crown Prince was already strong, and most of them could not get close to the Crown Prince, so they turned to the Fourth Prince in order to find a way out.

But now it seems that the Fourth Prince doesn't even have the ability to protect Minister Jin. If they are unfortunate enough to fall into trouble in the future, wouldn't it be even more miserable?

Therefore, everyone has a scale in his heart.

Of course they want to climb up, but they have to have a life to do so. Otherwise, are they going to compete with the King of Hell for a position of one or two levels?

In this battle, the prince's party won a great victory.

The Fourth Prince felt so humiliated that he rushed to the Imperial Concubine's palace with his Seventh Brother right after court session. He was like a baby who couldn't get any candy, crying and begging his mother for help.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing this, Prime Minister Guo became more disdainful, then looked at the prince and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the people from the Law Department will take care of the young man from the Jin family. Right now, there is a more important matter, which is the Spring Examination for all candidates. Your Highness, please take more care of it."

Rather than endlessly competing with the Fourth Prince in the court, Prime Minister Guo hoped to bring fresh strength to the Daxing Dynasty through repeated spring examinations.

These young candidates are not only the future pillars of the country, but the new policies that the prince wants to implement also require the training of such a group of people.

Although it has grown strong now, it still feels a little unjust.

Only when the crown prince ascends the throne will the Daxing Dynasty usher in true prosperity and peace, and they have been laying the groundwork for this.

Obviously, Prime Minister Guo paid more attention to this than suppressing his opponents.

After hearing what Prime Minister Guo said, the prince also understood and immediately said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I am personally supervising this matter and will definitely not let any mistakes be made in this spring examination."

The prince would be happy to become his disciple by taking the imperial examinations again and again.

Then he suddenly remembered something, looked at Shang Ji, and said with a smile.

"I remember that your wife's brother-in-law is also a candidate for this spring exam, right?"

"The prince has a good memory."

"Tell him that if he is really that capable person, the Eastern Palace will definitely cultivate him well!"

The prince's words promised He Shilin an unlimited future.

After all, he was nothing yet he could get the prince's attention. Of course, this was due to Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, but He Shilin was also lucky.

It was just a housewarming party at the general's mansion, but it actually left some impression on the prince. It seems that he is indeed a capable person.

"I would like to thank the Crown Prince on behalf of He Sheng."

In the court, Shang Ji would never call him brother-in-law all the time.
