Chapter 19 The Wise King(2/2)

Some prestigious literary scholars and scholars in the capital also published their own articles and praised "Bamboo and Stone".

Beijing Imperial Palace.

Prince Xian’s Mansion.

"The Eighth Prince, Cai Shi of Nanping Mansion was beheaded by Ye Jinghong, a great scholar in Suzhou."

A Hanlin official handed an official document to a man wearing a yellow robe.

"What? Cai Shi was killed by Ye Jinghong?"

The man in yellow robe was very surprised. He took the official document and read its contents, frowning slightly.

"Eighth Prince, Ye Jinghong is really too presumptuous. He knew that Cai Shi was your disciple, but he killed Cai Shi in public. As long as you raise your arms and call out, the civil and military officials of the whole court will definitely respond and criticize Ye Jinghong.

Seek justice.”

"Hmph! Ye Jinghong is not an easy person. He has made great contributions to the imperial court and is very famous in the literary world. It will be of no benefit to us if we break up with him."

The Eighth Sage King said solemnly: "My father's illness is getting more and more serious. It is a troubled time now. If anything happens at this juncture, it will cause a lot of trouble."

The Hanlin officials suddenly realized that the Eight Sage King was worried that if things got serious, it would indirectly affect his reputation.

Now that the crown prince's position has not been determined, the princes are also secretly forming cliques and forming party members.

If you make a slight mistake, you will miss out on being crown prince.

Now that the government and the public are in turmoil, the Eight Wise Kings must stabilize themselves. As long as he stabilizes the situation, the position of prince will be his.

But the Hanlin official was still unwilling to accept it and said slowly: "But Your Majesty, Cai Shi has been working for you for many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. He cannot die in vain."

"So this king will treat his family well."

The Eight Wise Kings said: "We must tolerate this matter. After I ascend to the throne, I will have the opportunity to settle accounts with Ye Jinghong. If I don't tolerate it, I will mess up the big plan."

The Hanlin officials were silent, with a flash of sadness and anger in their eyes.
