Chapter 471: No Clue
didn't ask what Wuji was looking at, Xing Tianze beckoned Situ Lei to sit down at the table next to him, and the two didn't beat around the bush in the slightest, but told the article straight to the point.
This matter is too important, although the emperor still does not know, but the paper can never contain the fire, once he knows that there is cheating in the imperial examination.
Then all the responsible officials will not have good fruits to eat, and even more so, they will directly abolish the results of all candidates in this imperial examination, and the Situ family, as the highest and most directly responsible party, will not be able to escape the emperor's important rules after all.
Situ Lei said slowly, in fact, he wanted to come over to discuss it after he knew about Xing Tianze's return to the capital yesterday, but considering Situ Feng's presence and Xing Tianze's march and battle, he must be tired.
That's why he forcibly resisted the impulse in his heart, thinking about waiting to find the fifth prince as soon as the dynasty ended this morning, but he was waiting in the sedan chair at the palace gate, but he watched Xing Tianze and Schrödinger walk out of the palace together.
Out of embarrassment to disturb, Situ Lei had no choice but to take the lead in returning to the Five Princes' Mansion to wait, and it was precisely for this reason that he joked that the Five Princes were really busy people, and it was simply difficult to talk to him about something.
After hearing what had happened, Xing Tianze let out a burst of laughter and asked someone to set the tea, and he personally delivered the tea to Situ Lei's hands, which was regarded as a compensation.
Situ Leiwei was just talking, and he didn't actually have half of the anger in his heart.
It's just that he can't get used to Schrödinger, so he didn't bother in the palace first, and he also understands that Xing Tianze is not the kind of person who has nothing to do, and he must have something important to discuss when he took the initiative to find the surname Xue.
Xing Tianze exhaled slowly, and slowly said some guesses in his heart, Schrödinger's performance was too abnormal.
Moreover, Xing Tianze dared to be sure that during the period when he led the army to the expedition, something major happened in the Xue family and he did not leak the slightest bit of information.
Where is Situ Lei's interest in asking Schrödinger about his life or death? Moreover, the latter is mysterious and secretive in his daily work, and there are very few people who can know about the private affairs of the Xue family.
He only wanted to know what Xing Tianze would do with the article, after all, if he was a little careless, the Situ family would most likely fall on it.
Xing Tianze nodded his head, of course he understood the importance attached to this, now was the critical moment for him to play with the emperor, if there was a major change in the Situ family, then not only the strength of the five princes would be greatly damaged.
And it will also create an excellent opportunity for the emperor to beat the water dogs, so Xing Tianze did not have the slightest carelessness, but slowly said some thoughts in his heart.
Although the people of Shangshuyuan are not something he can move if he wants to, there is also an official establishment in the court of Xingzhao Kingdom that can suppress them.
Although Situ Lei only heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and they were full of shock.
Situ Lei can also be said to be the elder of the two dynasties of the Xingzhao Kingdom, of course, he clearly knows that there is an extremely terrifying existence in the court, and their name is the cabinet.
Although there are only a dozen or so members, and almost all of them are now in the age of sixtieth birthday or ancient rarity, and they are idle at home to take care of their lives.
However, the power they hold in their hands cannot be compared even to Xing Tianze or the emperor, because as long as it is a matter that is jointly adjudicated by them, the worst can affect the luck of the entire Xingzhao Kingdom.
If they all think that Xing Tianji is not suitable to be the emperor of Xing Zhaoguo, then the latter's imperial career will come to an end directly.
And the cabinet has been established for hundreds of years, and all the members of this generation of cabinet members are the candidates drawn up by the emperor at the beginning, and almost everyone has made indelible contributions to the country.
Although their presence had a great impact, the emperor could not help the existence of the cabinet, because there was no explicit provision for the substantive existence of the cabinet in the court of the Xingzhao Kingdom.
In addition, behind these old men, almost all of them stand a family existence that can be regarded as a pivotal family in the Xingzhao Kingdom, and if they are wiped out, the emperor himself will also suffer a great impact.
Rather than a thankless outcome, the emperor should maintain a blind eye, not only for the sake of the stability of the country, but also to strengthen his own imperial power.
And the cabinet has not intervened in the affairs of the Zhaoguo Dynasty for many years, even if the emperor and the fifth prince have been deadlocked for so many years, their old courtiers still have no movement, as if they agree with them, and the two have been fighting to see whose ability is great.
Although Xing Tianze was extremely puzzled by this, and he didn't want to use such a rare and valuable favor, but now in order to help the Situ family suppress Shangshuyuan, he couldn't care so much about it.
The fifth prince has never been a procrastinating person, he knows very well that if he is reluctant to use the favor of the cabinet now, then once the emperor knows about the imperial examination, he will definitely take the opportunity to die.
In this way, the Situ family has no chance to turn over at all.
Xing Tianze stared at Situ Lei tightly, this could be said to be the first time he was so hesitant, but he only hoped in his heart that the role that Situ Jia would play in the future would be worthy of such a heavy price he had paid today.
Xing Tianze let out a long sigh and asked Situ Lei to go home first, and as for the matter of the imperial examination, he would take full authority to solve it.
Situ Lei, who heard the sound, hurriedly got up from the chair and bowed respectfully to Xing Tianze, although he didn't know what kind of means the Fifth Prince would use, but since the latter had already made a guarantee, he would definitely deal with this matter.
At the same time, Situ Lei knew very well that after this incident, the kindness owed by the Situ family to the five princes may not be able to be repaid.
After Situ Lei left, Wuji slowly walked to the chair next to Xing Tianze and sat down, his fingers tapping slowly on the table.
"Is it worth throwing that big hole card for a piece at hand?" How could Traceless not know what Xing Tianze was thinking in his heart?
However, he was also a little helpless in his heart, since Situ Feng left last night, he had sent many masters out to investigate, but so far there has been no useful news back.
According to common sense, as long as something happens, no matter how detailed the plan is and how perfectly executed, it will not be completely seamless.
Traceless has always believed that no matter what it is, as long as it has been done, it will definitely leave a trail, even if it is a clue.
