Hearing this, the King Of Zhao's face instantly froze.
This Selection Department's Doctor Shen was only a fifth-rank minor official. If he was the head of a fifth-rank minor official, wouldn't that mean he was just a minor official?
He might as well not be an official like this.
Imperial Father was really biased. When he first made Prince Xian the governor, when it was his turn, he only gave him the position of head.
Although he was not convinced, he still had to pretend to be grateful and said: "Many thanks, Imperial Father. Son will definitely learn from Doctor Shen and won't let Imperial Father down."
Seeing the King Of Zhao's disappointed face, Chu Xuanchen slightly frowned.
The King Of Zhao must have thought that Hongyuan Emperor didn't want to put him in an important position, so he used the position of head to dismiss him.
He didn't know that Hongyuan Emperor was testing him.
Although the position of the Selection Department was low, it was in charge of the evaluation of fourth-rank and below officials. It could decide the future of many mid-rank and low-rank officials. It was a department with real power.
As long as the King Of Zhao worked hard, he would definitely have the opportunity to become the Selection Department's Doctor. This way, he would be able to control the lifeline of the country's mid-rank and low-rank officials. His strength and status would also greatly increase.
However, the King Of Zhao usually didn't care about politics and didn't know about this. He was afraid that he would brush away the Emperor's painstaking efforts.

Time flew by and a few days passed.
In these few days, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue were investigating Liu Hei's whereabouts. However, Liu Hei seemed to have disappeared into thin air. They sent a lot of people but couldn't find him.
The more time passed, the more danger Prince Xian would be in.
Even if Hongyuan Emperor valued Prince Xian the most, now that Prince Xian was accused by a palace maid, the evidence was conclusive. Hongyuan Emperor couldn't spare him.
Only by finding the real culprit could they save Prince Xian. If they didn't catch Liu Hei, Prince Xian would be in danger.
Soon, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue's worries became reality.
The Emperor of Rui was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, it has been a few days, but Lan Wu's death has not been thoroughly investigated. Right now, the commoners in the city are talking about it. Everyone is saying that Lan Wu's death was very pitiful. They all want to seek justice for Lan Wu and want the Emperor to punish Prince Xian. "
The Emperor of Rui had just finished speaking when the King Zhao said, "Your Majesty, the commoners are also saying that Prince Xian's backer is so powerful that he doesn't need to be punished for killing people. They said that the laws of Chu State were made for the common people. They said that if a prince broke the law, he would be protected, and if a commoner broke the law, he would be sentenced. Right now, the streets are filled with people's anger. Everyone wants His Majesty to severely punish Prince Xian. "
"How dare you! How dare the commoners talk about me like this? "The Hongyuan Emperor was so angry that his veins were bursting. He slammed his palm on the table.
Seeing The Emperor of Rui and the King Zhao echoing each other, Chu Xuanchen said indifferently, "Your Majesty, Lan Wu's case was originally a secret of the palace. How could it be known by everyone? Could it be that someone is adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes, deliberately using public opinion to pressure Your Majesty? "
Hearing this, the Hongyuan Emperor glanced at The Emperor of Rui and the King Zhao with a gloomy gaze. His face was full of suspicion.
The Emperor of Rui hurriedly said, "The Emperor of Li, what do you mean? Are you implying that we are adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes? "
Speaking up to here, he quickly looked at the Hongyuan Emperor and said with a sincere face, "Your Majesty, please understand. These words were said by the commoners spontaneously. We definitely did not instigate them behind the scenes. Your Majesty, we stood up and told the truth for the sake of our Chu State. We have absolutely no selfish motives. "
The King Zhao also said solemnly, "Your Majesty, we are also thinking about the overall situation. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Now that the commoners are boiling with anger, as long as Your Majesty punishes Prince Xian and rewards him fairly, the commoners will be appeased. This way, no one will dare to talk about it anymore. "
