Chapter 2673 ask the emperor to deal with the wise king
Upon hearing this, King Zhao's face froze instantly.
Dr. Shen of the Literary Selection Department is only a fifth-rank petty official. If he is the head of a fifth-rank petty official, wouldn't he be an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans?
Such an official might as well be inappropriate.
My father was really partial. He originally asked King Xian to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, but when it was his turn, he was only given the position of principal.
Although he was not convinced in his heart, he had to pretend to be grateful on the surface and said: "Thank you very much, father. I will definitely learn from Dr. Shen and I will not let my father down."
Seeing King Zhao's disappointed face, Chu Xuanchen frowned slightly.
King Zhao must have thought that Emperor Hongyuan didn't want to reuse him, so he sent him away with the position of chief.
Little did he know that Emperor Hongyuan wanted to test him.
Although the official position of the Literary Selection Department is low, it is in charge of the assessment work of lower-level officials and can determine the future of many middle- and lower-level officials. It is a very powerful department.
As long as King Zhao works hard, he will definitely have the opportunity to become the doctor of the Literature and Selection Department, so that he can control the lifeblood of middle and low-level officials in the country, and his strength and status will be greatly increased.
However, King Zhao usually does not care about political affairs and does not know this at all. I am afraid that he will defeat the emperor's hard work.

Time flew by and several days passed.
In the past few days, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue have been tracing Liu Hei's whereabouts, but Liu Hei seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. They sent many people but could not find him.
The longer time passes, the more dangerous the wise king will be.
Even though Emperor Hongyuan valued the Xianwang the most, now that the Xianwang was accused by the palace maid, the evidence was conclusive, and Emperor Hongyuan had no way to spare him.
Only by finding the real culprit can King Xian be saved. If Liu Hei is not caught, King Xian may be in danger.
Soon, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue's worries became reality.
As soon as the court came to court that day, Prince Rui took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, several days have passed and Lan Wu's death has not been thoroughly investigated. Now the people in the city are talking a lot. Everyone says that Lan Wu died so pitifully. I want to seek justice for Lan Wu and ask the emperor to deal with the wise king."
After King Rui finished speaking, King Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the people also said that King Xian's backing was so great that he would not be punished for killing anyone. They said that the laws of Chu State were made for ordinary people. They said that the prince Those who break the law will be shielded, and ordinary people who break the law will be sentenced. Now the streets are raging and the people are outraged. Everyone wants the emperor to severely punish the good king."
"How outrageous! How dare the common people speak of me like this?" Emperor Hongyuan was so angry that his veins burst, and he slapped his palm on the imperial case.
Seeing Prince Rui and Prince Zhao singing harmony, Chu Xuanchen said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Lan Wu case is a palace secret, so how could it become known to everyone? Is there someone behind the scenes who is adding fuel to the flames and deliberately using public opinion to do harm to the Emperor? Pressure?"
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he looked at King Rui and King Zhao with a sinister look, his face full of suspicion.
Prince Rui hurriedly asked: "Prince Li, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that we are behind this?"
Having said this, he quickly looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, these words were spoken by the common people spontaneously, and I definitely did not instigate them behind my back. Your Majesty, I stood up for the sake of our country, Chu State." Tell the truth without any selfish motives."
King Zhao also solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I also think about the overall situation. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now the people's resentment is boiling. The emperor only needs to deal with the virtuous king and give fair punishment and reward to calm the people's resentment. In this way, no one will dare to discuss it anymore."
