Chapter 146: Different Minds

At this time, the demeanour and reaction of everyone present were all different.

Among the six departments, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household are the two most abundant places.

Especially the Ministry of Officials, which is in charge of the appointment and removal of civil officials in the world, examination, promotion, knighthood, transfer and other affairs, is not only full of oil and water, but also has great power.

But the emperor skipped the most powerful official department and handed over an irrelevant criminal department to the prince.

Does this mean that the emperor still doesn’t want to give power to the prince?

There was a lot of speculation in the hearts of the hundred officials, but there was no trace on their faces, and they all congratulated the prince.

“Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!”

Regardless of what the hundred officials thought in their hearts, in short, the princes were really envious.

Although the Ministry of Punishment is not as rich as the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is also a department of real power in the end. Now that the prince has an errand, it is tantamount to having the power to intervene in political affairs. He can also take the opportunity to cultivate confidants in the dynasty and lay a good foundation for his future ascension to the throne.

But the other princes are still in a state of idleness, even Luo Yechen, the oldest, has still not been qualified to enter the dynasty as a messenger.

How can this make the princes not jealous?

The eldest prince Luo Yechen has been staring at the prince, in addition to jealousy, there is also a little panic that others can’t detect.

The second prince Luo Yunxuan always maintained a gentle smile on his face, and seemed to be very pleased that the prince was able to successfully complete the task of seeking rain.

As for what he really thought in his heart, no one could know.

The fourth prince Luo Xinran’s expression was gloomy, and he secretly scolded the lord for not opening his eyes, and actually made the prince beg for rain.

The other princes were also too sour.

Why can’t such a good thing fall on them? ！

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone left the chamber in groups of three or five.

When Luo Qingshan passed by Luo Yechen’s side, he glanced at him deliberately.

That sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his soul in an instant and see through all his thoughts.

As if telling him silently

I know all the things you did.

Luo Yechen only felt cold all over, his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he almost fell.

Luo Qingshan retracted his gaze and led the three Princes, Prince Taifu, the Prince Taibao, and the prince Junior Master out of the council hall.

Not long after they walked out, a voice came from behind them.

“His Royal Highness, stay!”

Luo Qingshan stopped and looked back, and found that the visitor was Dong Mingchun, the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Dong Mingchun stepped forward to greet him with a kind smile.

The emperor has handed over the Ministry of Punishment to the prince, which means that the entire Ministry of Punishment has been divided into the prince’s faction.

Dong Mingchun has always been a discerning person, so he came to surrender to the prince.

This is not a place to talk, Luo Qingshan took him and several other confidants back to Mingguang Palace.

The fifth prince Luo Yanzhi looked at the distant backs of the prince and Dong Mingchun, his heart was sour.

Luo Yanzhi is only seventeen years old this year, and he is not very old. Because of his peach blossom eyes, he looks extremely romantic and handsome.

He was born to Concubine Xian.

Although Concubine Xian was not of high birth, she was one of the emperor’s favourite concubines. Coupled with Luo Yan’s sweet mouth, she would be pleasing, and even the emperor loved him very much.

Luo Yanzhi asked jokingly while playing with a piece of warm jade in his hand.

“Third brother, what kind of luck is this? Not only can he be canonized as a prince, but he can also ask for rain. Could he quietly find an expert to cast a spell on himself?”

The second prince Luo Yunxuan smiled softly: “Fifth brother, you really know how to joke, how can there be any expert in this world? They are just liars.”
