After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 60 Something is wrong

"Zhu Aiqing, according to what you mean, do you blame the crown prince for not taking good care of the Ministry of Rites? Or do you blame me for not handing over the Ministry of Rites to the crown prince? Huh?"

The calm words revealed a chilling majesty.

Zhu Ji was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, "I don't dare."

"Don't dare?" Emperor Jianyuan sneered, "Yes, I have handed over the Ministry of Rites to the crown prince, but are you the servant of the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhu Ji nodded repeatedly.

Emperor Jianyuan then looked at Song Fu, "Is Song Aiqing still the Minister of Rites?"

Song Fu: "Yes."

Emperor Jianyuan: "Since one of you is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites assisting the crown prince, why do you only blame the crown prince when something goes wrong?"

Zhu Ji immediately replied with a trembling voice: "The tribute is lost, and the humble minister is also responsible."

Song Fu: "The minister is also responsible. It is the minister who is ineffective in disciplining the officials under him."

"I am very pleased that the two lovers have this awareness." Emperor Jianyuan said in a deep voice, "Of course, the crown prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he has the greatest responsibility."

"It's just that things have already happened. It is useless to shirk responsibility and argue about right and wrong. The top priority should be to recover the lost tribute and find out who is behind the scenes!"

Next, the prince and the officials of the Ministry of Rites answered "yes" again and again.

Emperor Jianyuan: "I order you to find out the lost tribute as soon as possible, but whoever passed it, let me check it out!"

The prince and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites: "Yes."

After everything was settled, Emperor Jianyuan sent everyone away with a wave of his hand.

On that day, the prince led people to search the lost tribute in the capital, and did not return to the East Palace until late at night.

In the next few days, he was even more busy.

Even if the concubines of the Eastern Palace wanted to compete for favor, they couldn't even see a single person.

Jiang Shishi had no intention of competing for favor. In the past few days, the imperial dining room has changed ways to make nourishing meat dishes for her every day.

Except for those bear paws and deer whips, Jiang Shishi really couldn't talk about it.

But it was not wasted, and it was rewarded to those court ladies and eunuchs who love to eat.

The rest of the delicacies all entered her stomach.

Three days later, the court received news that the Kings of Chu and Shu were about to enter Beijing.

Seeing that the two feudal lords were about to enter the capital, the Ministry of Rites hadn't found the lost tribute yet.

At this moment, Pei Xuanling and Fan Songkang were sitting in a gazebo in the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters.

The gazebo is shaded, and there is a rockery beside it, surrounded by various strange-shaped stones.

Fan Songkang: "In the past few days, I have searched all the residences of my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. Anyway, we have searched everything that should be searched, but we did not find the two lost jade stones."

Pei Xuanling frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the stone pile at the bottom of the rockery, "Is there a few more stones in this stone pile?"

Fan Songkang looked at the rockery, and saw that the rockery was several feet high, with a running water fountain on the top, and a small pool around it, in which many koi were raised.

The rockery is made of various strangely shaped stones, and even the pool on the side is surrounded by various stones to form a circle.

Those stones have different shapes, and there are hundreds of stones in all sizes.

After watching for a while, Fan Songkang also noticed something was wrong.

He also approached the stone pile and looked, "It seems that there are a few more stones, but I haven't noticed which ones are more. Why did Your Highness suddenly mention this?"

"The ancients said that the most dangerous place is often the safest place." Pei Xuanling pointed out.

Hearing this, Fan Songkang was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to understand something, "I'll find a few trustworthy people right now, and ask them to help you find it quickly!"
