Chapter 1049 - 1043: No One Can Benefit
ƒгeewebnovёl.com He stroked his beard and smiled.
The Emperor’s face didn’t look too good, but he didn’t say much either, as this was something he had anticipated. He just disliked the fact that the Ducal Residence had too many claws, severely affecting the government discipline.
It seemed that appointing Jin Zijin as the Crown Prince was not going to be an easy task, unless he truly made remarkable achievements.
"Your Majesty, none of the three princes were able to take the lead in this natural disaster. I think it’s time to rotate rewards. The First Prince’s Consort should take the first share, then the second share should definitely go to King Jin. Among the three princes, King Jin stayed in the disaster area the longest and was most sincere. He was the first to leave and the last to return. Compared to the other two princes, such sincerity is truly rare."
The moment Jie Minister, who had witnessed King Jin’s actions in the disaster area, scoffed, the talking Minister’s face turned extremely unsightly.
Jie Minister saluted the Emperor, "I have no objections if the First Prince’s Consort takes the lead, but to give the second reward to King Jin, I feel it’s unjust for Prince Qin."
"What do you mean? Are you implying that King Jin is inferior to Prince Qin? Ha, Jie Huanzhi, don’t tarnish the reputation of the Jie Family." Upon hearing Jie Minister’s words, the Lord Protector couldn’t sit still.
The Jie Family held a unique place in court, known for their loyalty only to the Emperor and not favoring anyone. But with Jie Huanzhi expressing it was unjust for Prince Qin, others had something to say because Jie Huanzhi’s only daughter was married to Prince Qin, although not as a primary consort, but as a favored consort.
Everyone spread the rumor that Prince Qin indulged Jie Consort solely to please Jie Huanzhi. Everyone guessed that, with Jie Minister’s stubborn character, Prince Qin’s flattery would only reach the horse’s hooves, but now it seemed to serve some purpose, huh.
"Jie Minister, you must hold your water steady," someone chuckled.
