Chapter 311 Selection of Officials
In addition to being attacked by the two roads of Dongqi this time, in addition to being aided by Sirius, it also has indispensable ties to some local officials.The eldest prince has become a commoner but he can still persuade the guards who moved half of the city. This kind of thing is undoubtedly the biggest blow to the emperor, and it is far more annoying than Dongqi's attack.Thinking about it carefully, if he hadn't taken down the eldest prince suddenly that day, it would also have prepared him. The consequences of the foundation he had cultivated in the court for so many years would be disastrous.

So as soon as the war ended, the emperor was anxious to reshuffle the cards in the court, and exchanged a lot of officials.The days of hard work in recent months made the emperor's body obviously start to feel unbearable. He originally wanted to hand over the matter to Prince Gongsu to supervise it, but after much deliberation, he still had some concerns, so he sent King Jingshuo and Prince Yu to Gongsu. The Prince assembled together, and bade them begin to draw up a list of available persons.In this way, it would be clear at a glance if anyone recommended him as the emperor, and if three people came to do this, it would not be the case that only one party would remain.

However, as soon as such an errand fell on his head, Prince Yu could clearly see the meaning behind the emperor's back, he just received the order but did not take any action.It was not until King Jingshuo and Prince Gongsu personally sent someone to invite them that they had no choice but to leave.

"Ninth Brother, why is he so unwilling to bother with the things that the father told me?" Prince Gongsu joked when he saw that Prince Yu's face was unhappy and he was invited to the mansion reluctantly.

"Right now, this king has military power in his hands, so we really should avoid suspicion about such things."

Prince Yu spoke out about the connection without haste, but it was obvious that Prince Gongsu didn't care much about such things. He glanced at Prince Yu and handed him the list in his hand.

"Whatever this is, it's all father's will, and we'll do it. Seventh brother has never been involved in such things, so he patiently selected a few good people as candidates."

Hearing this, Prince Yu took the booklet in his hands.If this booklet is all selected by Prince Gongsu, then there is nothing particularly worth looking at. Prince Gongsu does not have so many twists and turns in his belly, so for things like the promotion of officials There must be no selfishness.It's just that I was a little more curious when I heard that King Jingshuo had started recommending people.

Opening the brochure, Prince Jingshuo only recommended six people, and most of them were candidates.That is to say, it does not necessarily count whether it is used or not.It's just that these six people look a little strange when you look closely, because none of these six people has ever been recommended by King Jingshuo or is not involved in daily life.

On the contrary, four of these six people are related to Prince Gongsu, while the other two are people who have been recommended by him.One of them was Yin Huaizhi, the county magistrate of Suining during the Suining earthquake.

The emperor asked the three of them to study the list together because he was worried that someone would cheat and seek personal advantage to arrange himself. Therefore, even a person who is not good at scheming like Prince Gongsu knows what it means to avoid suspicion.Therefore, no matter whether he or Prince Gongsu recommends people on this list, they will definitely not support their own party, or people who are obviously related to him.And Prince Jingshuo has always only held false posts in the court and never paid too much attention to these things, so it can be said that the list came from him, and the emperor would not have any suspicions.

"What's the reason for King Jingshuo?"

Even if King Jingshuo didn't raise his head to see Prince Yu's expression, he knew what Prince Yu looked like now, so he waved his hand at him to signal him to be calm.

"It's not as you think. It's just that the king has heard about these people, so he discussed it with Prince Gongsu. It's just a backup, and it's unknown whether it will be successful or not. It depends on what the father wants."

"King Jingshuo has never paid much attention to these matters, why is he so thoughtful now?"

Hearing this, King Jingshuo's face darkened slightly, and he thought he was a little displeased with Prince Yu's words, but he was well-trained and didn't explode, just changed his appearance of forbearance.

"If others ask me this, I just think that he doesn't understand me. Even if there is any misunderstanding, I will laugh it off. But you, Prince Yu, have never understood me? Why have I stayed away from the court all these years? You have seen everything you have encountered, so why do you still ask this question today?"

Prince Yu obviously didn't expect that King Jingshuo would say such a thing, and he couldn't help but recall the past.That young man has his own demeanor, and he never wanted to take revenge on Prince Jing Shuo, so it is no exception.A person with a good temperament, talent, and the empress's son will naturally have a higher voice than the eldest prince, but when everyone wants to support him as the crown prince, Prince Jingshuo retreats to the side and restrains all his sharpness.

Those who don't know only say that the Seventh Prince is extremely stubborn, and the inside story even the Emperor can't understand.At first, everyone thought that the seventh prince was pretending to give in because of his brotherly love, but later on, the seventh prince, who had attracted much attention, repeatedly did some things that made people criticize.As time went by, those who originally supported him naturally began to run around looking for new backers, and the reason for this was known to no one other than Prince Yu.

Before Prince Yu could respond, King Jingshuo said coldly again: "Prince Yu still thinks that this prince is not worthy of participating in political affairs since he looks like this."

Even if Prince Gongsu was careless, he could see that there was something wrong with the weird atmosphere between the two, and he was afraid that they would stand between them as if they were arguing. "Seventh Brother, Ninth Brother has something to say, these are just ordinary things."

"Of course you have nothing unworthy. I don't want to pursue what you think in your heart, but please don't forget your original intention."

Hearing Prince Yu's words, King Jingshuo's pupils shrank, and he soon realized that his actions these days might be a little out of line, and he was completely in his eyes.But he didn't say anything to remind himself, and he never intervened too much, but today he didn't know where he touched his bottom line.But so what?Is it because he didn't find out some of his little tricks that he should be grateful to him?
"Original heart? Is this king the only one who has changed? Didn't Prince Yu's trust in this king in the past and his lack of defense for this king disappear today? This king just selected a few available people as backups." He was suspected by the honored prince, so it seems that these matters really do not require too much involvement of the prince, so we leave."

King Jingshuo made a false salute to Prince Gongsu before leaving Prince Gongsu's mansion. Seeing that King Jingshuo left without looking back, Prince Yu's expression was not much better either.

"Ninth brother, it was fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this?" Prince Gongsu didn't think there was anything wrong, and he didn't understand why Prince Yu suddenly attacked King Jingshuo, but he felt in his heart that Prince Yu will not do this for no reason.
