Chapter 234 Abandoning Parents and Children

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

"Whether I am exaggerating or not, your majesty will make the final decision, but my sincere heart is witnessed by the heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon. I am worthy of Daxing and your majesty."

The seventh prince was defeated by the censor, and naturally lost. Minister Jin saw the seventh prince also lose, and his teeth were clenched.

He was caught off guard when he went to court today.

Du Si was actually dead, it was simply a fairy tale!

His original intention was to secretly eat away and slowly calm the matter down. Who knew that he let the rebellious son run away again after not keeping a close eye on him, and did such a thing that gave people a reason to criticize him!

This son is simply here to collect debts. Will he not let the whole family die?

Thinking of this, he also made up his mind, his eyes were sharp, and then he spoke with abandon.

"Since the rebellious son has committed such a crime, it is difficult to tolerate it according to the national law and the family law. Then please let the people of the Law Department deal with it according to the law. I have no complaints!"

The Minister of Jin originally had more than one son, and he was not the one who would take the lead in the family in the future, so he gave up.

Although it would be painful, he had to do it for the sake of his family and future.

Poor Jin's young man didn't know about this yet and was sleeping soundly.

After hearing that the Minister of Jin had killed his relatives for the sake of justice, the censors knew that too much was as bad as too little, so they naturally stopped chasing him.

Prime Minister Guo and the prince looked at each other and felt that it was time.

So, taking this opportunity, the prince stood up and said a good word for the Minister of Jin for the first time, which added another stroke to his reputation of virtue and generosity.

"Minister Jin is righteous, I admire you! Father, since Minister Jin was not aware of this matter beforehand, then let's punish him lightly, otherwise if we really punish him severely, it will easily make people feel disappointed, right?"

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

"Prince, what you said makes sense, you can handle this matter."

"Yes, father."

Then he yawned again and spoke to everyone.

"Since the ministers have nothing to report, let's leave the court."

After saying this, he didn't care about others at all, and got 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 the regent for many years, and he can still handle such a small scene with ease.

So he smiled and raised his voice and said.

"Let the people of the Law Department handle the matter of the young man of the Jin family. I want to know all the results within three days."

"Yes."

Several subordinates of the Law Department stood up, and when the fourth prince saw those people, he felt very disappointed. They were all the prince's people. It seemed that the young man of the Jin family was about to die.

On the other hand, after Jin Shangshu proposed that the people of the Law Department handle his son's affairs, he no longer had much expression. It can be seen that his behavior was tantamount to abandoning his own son.

Seeing him so "calm", the fourth prince could only suppress the restlessness in his heart, let his expression gradually return to calm, and watched the prince handle the government affairs with cold eyes.

After talking about the young man of the Jin family, there was still Jin Shangshu kneeling below, and the prince would not let him go easily.

But he still had to act, and said to Jin Shangshu.

"Mister Jin is innocent in this matter, but it is your people who have problems, so the major crime can be forgiven, and the minor crime can be determined. He will be demoted to the left assistant minister, and his performance will be evaluated again in three years."

From Shangshu to Zuo Shilang, it seems to be a one-level downgrade, but in fact it is two levels, after all, the right assistant minister has more power than the left assistant minister.

The most important thing is that the performance can be evaluated again after three years, but there will be a new performance evaluation of all officials in April this year. If the right assistant minister is successfully promoted, then his position as Shangshu will be hopeless.

The prince will kill people and destroy their hearts, which is indeed a "small punishment for a big warning".

Unfortunately, Shangshu Jin can only kneel down to thank the prince for not pursuing responsibility, and those party officials who rely on the fourth prince are also slightly shaken at this moment.

The prince's power is already strong, and most of them turned to the fourth prince because they could not get close to the prince, so they turned to the fourth prince to fight for a way out.

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

Therefore, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

Of course they want to climb up, but they also have to have a life to enjoy it, otherwise, can they go to the King of Hell to compete for a position of one or two levels?

In this battle, the prince's party can be said to have won a great victory.

The fourth prince was so frustrated that he took his seventh brother straight to the imperial concubine's palace as soon as he left the court, just like a baby who couldn't get candy, crying and begging for his mother to help.

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

"Your Highness, the people in the Law Department will take care of the young man from the Jin family. There is a more important matter at the moment, which is the Spring Examination for all candidates. Please pay more attention to it."

Rather than fighting with the Fourth Prince in the court, Prime Minister Guo hopes to bring fresh power to the Daxing Dynasty through the Spring Examination again and again.

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

Although they are now fully grown, they are still somewhat unjustified.

When the prince ascends the throne, the real prosperity and peace of the Daxing Dynasty will come. They have been laying the groundwork for this.

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

After listening to Prime Minister Guo's words, the prince also understood and said with a serious expression.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I will personally supervise this matter and will definitely not let this spring exam go wrong."

The prince is very happy to get the prince's disciples through the spring exams again and again.

Then he suddenly remembered something and looked at Shang Ji, smiling and said.

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

"The prince has a good memory."

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

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

After all, he was nothing, but he could get the attention of the prince. Of course, it was because of Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, but He Shilin was also lucky.

It was just a housewarming party at the general's mansion, but he could leave some impression in the prince's heart. It seems that he is really capable.

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

In the court, Shang Ji would not open his mouth and stop talking about brother-in-law.
