Chapter 145 Different Thoughts
At this moment, the reactions of everyone present were different.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue are the two places with the most oil and water.
In particular, the Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, honors, and transfers of civil servants throughout the country, not only has plenty of benefits but also has enormous power.
However, the emperor skipped the Ministry of Personnel, which had the most power, and handed over the insignificant Ministry of Justice to the prince.
Does this mean that the emperor still doesn't want to give up power to the prince?
Many speculations arose in the minds of all the officials, but they did not show any of it on their faces. They all bowed to the prince and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Regardless of what the officials thought, the princes were really envious.
Although the Ministry of Justice is not as lucrative as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, it is still a department with real power. Now that the Crown Prince has got the job, it means he has the power to interfere in state affairs. He can also take the opportunity to cultivate confidants in the court and lay a solid foundation for his future ascension to the throne.
The other princes are still doing nothing. Even the oldest one, Luo Yechen, has not yet obtained the qualification to serve in the court.
How could the princes not be jealous?
The eldest prince Luo Yechen kept staring at the prince. In his eyes, besides jealousy, there was also a bit of fear that was difficult for others to detect.
The second prince, Luo Yunxuan, always maintained a gentle smile on his face, as if he was very pleased that the prince had successfully completed the task of praying for rain.
As for what he really thinks in his heart, no one can know.
The fourth prince, Luo Xinran, had a gloomy expression on his face. He cursed God for being blind and actually letting the crown prince pray for rain.
The other princes were also very jealous.
How come such a good thing doesn't happen to them? !
After the meeting, everyone left the meeting hall in groups of three or five.
When Luo Qinghan passed by Luo Yechen, he deliberately glanced at him.
That sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his soul and see through all his thoughts in an instant.
As if silently telling him—
I know everything you did.
Luo Yechen felt cold all over, his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, and he almost fell.
Luo Qinghan retracted his gaze and led the Prince's Grand Tutor, the Prince's Guardian, and the Prince's Junior Teacher out of the council hall.
They had not walked far when a voice came from behind them.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
Luo Qinghan stopped and looked back, and found that the person coming was the Minister of Justice Dong Mingchun.
Dong Mingchun stepped forward to greet him with a kind smile.
The emperor has handed over the Ministry of Justice to the crown prince, which means that the entire Ministry of Justice has been divided into the crown prince's faction.
Dong Mingchun has always been a man with a keen eye, and he has come to surrender to the prince.
This was not the place to talk, so Luo Qinghan took him and several other confidants back to Mingguang Palace.
The fifth prince Luo Yanzhi felt sour in his heart as he watched the Crown Prince and Dong Mingchun walking away.
Luo Yanzhi is only seventeen years old this year. He is not very old, but because he has a pair of peach blossom eyes, he looks particularly handsome and elegant.
He was born to Concubine Xian.
Although Concubine Xian was not of high birth, she was one of the emperor's most beloved concubines. In addition, Luo Yanzhi was sweet-spoken and good at pleasing others, so the emperor also liked him very much.
Luo Yanzhi asked half-jokingly while playing with a piece of warm jade in his hand.
"What kind of luck does Third Brother have? Not only was he crowned as the crown prince, but he was also able to pray for rain. Did he secretly ask a master to cast a spell on him?"
The second prince Luo Yunxuan smiled gently: "Fifth brother, you are such a joke. There are no masters in this world. They are just charlatans."
