Fan Songkang: "Lord Xue, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's literal." Xue Mao was not afraid of things, so he simply said more directly, "It stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already suspicious and should not meddle in this case again." ”

Fan Songkang: "You dare to question His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, Xue is just talking about things!" Xue Mao puffed out his chest and looked upright.

Originally, Song Fu only thought it was a feng shui problem, but now after Zhu Ji said that, and listened to Xue Mao's words, he couldn't help but think about it a little more.

Song Fu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you and I have been busy with the imperial examination recently, this kind of life-threatening matter, you and I should not interfere, let's report to the emperor and let the emperor make a decision, right?" ”

Pei Xuanling is innocent, so he is naturally fearless.

At this time, if he had to investigate the case by himself, it would make people suspicious.

Therefore, he agreed.

**

Longyuan Palace.

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites gathered at the bottom of the hall.

As for Du Tianqing's body, it was not carried over, which was unlucky.

Next, the ministers reported on Du Tianqing's mysterious death.

At the top, Emperor Jianyuan listened lightly, and the personal eunuch also served him with a silver pill.

Emperor Jianyuan raised his head slightly, swallowed the pill down his throat, and listened to a minister say: "I implore the emperor to let Dali Temple find out this case, so as to comfort Lord Du's soul in the sky!" ”

"I see." Emperor Jianyuan immediately ordered, "Spread my message, and immediately order Dali Temple to find out the cause of Du Tianqing's death!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the little eunuch in charge of the matter immediately went to Dali Temple to pass the message.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." Xue Mao stepped forward to speak.

Emperor Jianyuan looked down at the courtiers who were quite faced, "......Who is this Aiqing?" ”

"Weichen Xue Mao is a director of the Ministry of Rites."

Emperor Jianyuan nodded, raised his hand towards Xue Mao, and signaled that he would say something if he had something to say.

Xue Mao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made people break the feng shui of the Ministry of Rites last time, this time Lord Du confronted the Prince during the day, and killed the Ministry of Rites at night, no matter what, Wei Chen felt that Lord Du's death was inseparable from His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Therefore, before finding out the cause of Lord Du's death, Weichen implored the emperor to cancel the right of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the imperial examination this time."

"Xue Aiqing, your official position is not big, but your courage is not small, you dare to say it." Emperor Jianyuan's face was faint, and he couldn't see his emotions.

Seeing that the emperor did not protect the crown prince, but praised Xue Mao, many ministers of the Ministry of Rites began to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty, since the crown prince has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, anyone who disagrees with him has either been exiled or died strangely, if this imperial examination is still supervised by him, I don't know what else will happen."

"Isn't it, who knows if the next one will be disposed of unknowingly... Will it be one of us......

Seeing that the ministers of the Ministry of Rites expressed their opinions one after another, Song Fu, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also said: "Your Majesty, the minister, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, for the sake of the Ministry of Rites, for the sake of your colleagues, I also implore the emperor to cancel the qualification of the prince to supervise the imperial examination!" ”

Of course, there is no shortage of people who speak for the prince.

"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be suspicious, Lord Du was so rude yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't punish him."

"That's it, His Highness just asked people to fork him out, it's enough to do it......"

However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were very united.

The people who helped the prince speak were all petty officials.

They don't talk much, and their words don't work.

Emperor Jianyuan swept the ministers under him, and finally, his eyes fell on the prince, "The prince ......"

"The son is here." Pei Xuanling stepped forward and saluted.

"What you Aiqing said is not unreasonable, Du Tianqing's death, you are indeed suspicious." Emperor Jianyuan pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the imperial examination is related to the whole country, and your situation at the moment is indeed not suitable for taking charge of the imperial examination again." ”

"I will temporarily disqualify you from taking charge of the imperial examination, and if it is found out that Du Tianqing's death has nothing to do with you before the imperial examination, your qualification will be restored. If this matter is indeed related to you, I will not spare it! ”

"......" Fan Song Kangshi spoke for the prince, but after all, it couldn't withstand the weight of those high-ranking officials.

Now that I have listened to the emperor's words, I can't help but feel sorry for the prince in my heart.

The emperor disqualified the crown prince from taking charge of the imperial examination, and the most important thing in the Ministry of Rites this year is the triennial imperial examination.

The crown prince seems to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but in fact, he can't even interfere in the imperial examination, what is the difference between this and being in name only?

Under the ......, Pei Xuanling replied indifferently: "Yes, the son obeys the order!" ”

**

In the next few days, Dali Temple was busy investigating the cause of Du Tianqing's death.

The Ministry of Rites was busy with the next imperial examination.

When King Mu and his party learned that the emperor had disqualified the crown prince from taking charge of the imperial examination, he was very happy.

After all, the imperial examination is about to begin.

In just a few days, Dali Temple will definitely not find out anything.

Once the crown prince is unable to take charge of this year's imperial examination, they will be able to win over this year's rookies in the imperial court.

The prince has lost his convenience, and he must not be able to compare to them!

The prince, who is not favored by everyone, has been with the sixth prince for the past few days.

The sixth prince has a wide range of connections, and there are officials in Dali Temple who were his guests.

Although the crown prince can't meddle in this matter, the sixth prince can help!

On March 24, seeing that the candidates will enter the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy in advance tomorrow, and the examination will officially start the day after tomorrow, and the cause of Du Tianqing's death has not yet been found.

Because of the prince's incident, even the concubines of the East Palace were listless.

In the early morning of this day, the concubines of the East Palace gathered at the Tang side concubine to say goodbye.

Prince Xu is has not been in the East Palace much these days, and he has lost the qualification to take charge of the imperial examination, so they can't follow out of the palace to play, there is no competition between them, and they don't play very well.

On the contrary, he spoke unusually united about the wronged prince.

Concubine Tang: "Our Royal Highness is broad-minded, I heard that Du Tianqing provoked him in public, he didn't care, how could he kill Du Tianqing in private." ”

Gu Meiren: "Even if His Highness can't get used to Du Tianqing, he will solve him in a righteous and bright way, so that he will not assassinate others." ”

Xue Liangdi: "Seeing that the imperial examination is about to take place, and this incident has happened, I am really worried for His Highness." ”

Concubine Ruan: "Our Highness is in a high position, and there are nine times out of ten things that don't go well, and it is difficult for His Highness." ”

Jiang Shishi also maintained the formation, and said with a worried face: "This is almost the imperial examination, there is no news from Dali Temple, how can this be good." ”

But I was thinking in my heart, why didn't this play cards according to the plot?

The prince in the book only began to encounter all kinds of disasters during the imperial examination, why did he take a life before the imperial examination began?

If the crown prince couldn't be in charge of the imperial examination, there should be no bad things that happened during the imperial examination, so she wouldn't have to help with spoilers.

It's just that... Regardless of whether it is King Kang's party or King Mu's party, even if the prince is not in charge of the imperial examination, they will definitely make the prince stumble in the future.

Moreover, if it is detached from the plot, Jiang Shishi will not be able to rely on spoilers to help the prince avoid trouble.

Just when the concubines of the East Palace looked melancholy, a little eunuch in the courtyard of the Tang side concubine rushed in, "Little masters, there is good news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court!" ”
