The struggle for the throne among nine princes—I really don't want to be the crown prince.

Chapter 225 They're not wrong, they just need to learn more.
Previously, the imperial court had no effective means of restraining or controlling the Tibetan king.

However, if the reincarnation of the Dharma King were to come to the capital to draw a lot—ah, we should give him an even more sacred name to verify his authenticity—then the court's influence would skyrocket!
They will also be more obedient to the laws of the imperial court.

The Crown Prince's plan not only solved the immediate problem, but also prevented future troubles.

It's practically all benefits and no drawbacks!

Those who could stand in the imperial court at this time were all shrewd and capable people. After hearing Shen Ye's explanation, everyone finally understood.

Just as the entire court remained silent, Wang Yan suddenly stepped forward and knelt down with a thud: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is a man of great wisdom and strategic vision, capable of winning battles from afar. He is truly a blessing to the nation and the world!"

Wang Yan might have ulterior motives in other matters, but he was steadfast in his stance towards the Crown Prince.

Who told him to be the Crown Prince's teacher? Only when the Crown Prince ascends the throne will he benefit the most.

Conversely, loyalty to the crown prince is his only option.

If even his teacher isn't loyal enough to the Crown Prince, then who would dare to trust him?
As soon as he spoke, some of Songgotu's former associates immediately stepped forward and said in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

A smile appeared on Emperor Qianxi's face. Although he instinctively felt wary of the Crown Prince, for a monarch, having such an outstanding successor was ultimately a great thing.

Moreover, the Crown Prince also solved a problem for him.

"My esteemed ministers, you may rise." As Emperor Qianxi spoke, he looked at Tong Guowei and asked, "Tong Guowei, do you think the Crown Prince's method is feasible?"

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is brilliant!"

Tong Guowei bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness is far-sighted, but we are too foolish to understand your profound meaning."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty; please forgive me, Crown Prince."

Emperor Qianxi laughed and said, "Since you, Tong Guowei, think this plan is feasible, then let the Court of Colonial Affairs carry it out."

"This matter is not your fault. It was because the Crown Prince and Aling'a did not explain it clearly when they were talking about it."

Aling'a was in the worst pain at this moment. He was the one who started this whole thing and won over the people involved.

Now that things have turned out this way, he really feels like Pigsy looking in the mirror—neither inside nor outside the body.

Inside, he offended the Crown Prince; outside, he didn't fare well either, and countless people resented him.

Isn't he clearly more of a hindrance than a help?
However, as annoyed as I am, at least I've gotten through this hurdle! If I hadn't, things would have been much more complicated.

"Your Majesty, it is all my fault for being ignorant and failing to understand the Crown Prince's profound meaning, which has led to this ridiculous situation. Please forgive me!"

As Alinga spoke, he quickly knelt on the ground and took the responsibility upon himself.

He knew very well that if he refused again at this point, what awaited him would not be the emperor's forgiveness, but his wrath!

If you take the initiative to admit your mistakes and say that you lack knowledge, Emperor Qianxi might be lenient and show leniency.

After all, he didn't mean it that way; he just didn't understand the Crown Prince's meaning.

Looking at Aling'a kneeling on the ground, Emperor Qianxi sneered inwardly.

How could he not see through the tricks in Ah Ling's belly!

However, at this moment, when most people are unaware of the Crown Prince's deeper meaning, it is not unforgivable for Aling'a to admit her lack of knowledge.

After all, the Crown Prince hadn't explained it clearly, and it wasn't just Alinga who didn't understand.

So Emperor Qianxi just snorted and said, "Although ignorance is no excuse, Aling'a, as the Minister of the Court of Colonial Affairs, you have neglected to study your duties."

"So when you're needed to solve a problem, not only are you unable to do so, but you also make such a fool of yourself—it's truly unforgivable!"

"However, considering that you have been quite careful in handling affairs in the past, I will not punish you severely."

Hearing this, Aling Ada breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had escaped another disaster.

However, before he could catch his breath, Emperor Qianxi continued, "But you don't need to worry about the Lifan Yuan (Court of Colonial Affairs) for now!"

"Let's study at home for a while longer before making any decisions."

Aling'a was a first-class duke, and although a first-class duke was prestigious, without official duties, it was just an empty title, and the punishment would be quite severe for him.

Upon hearing Emperor Qianxi's words, Aling'a's face darkened.

However, he dared not object to Emperor Qianxi's decision, after all, he was still a criminal at the time.

Talking back? That's practically suicide!
So he could only say, with a sense of humiliation, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness!"

When Emperor Qianxi took action, he directly dismissed the Minister of the Aling Ali Fan Yuan (a branch of the Chinese Confucian academy), which made many people tremble with fear.

Although Aling'a was the one who instigated this incident, his actions can only be described as a mistake.

But what about those young censors?

How would Emperor Qianxi deal with those who dared to disobey him?

In the past, as the head of the censors, Chen Tingjing, the Left Censor-in-Chief, would definitely have stood up to plead for these people.

But now, Chen Tingjing will no longer show his face in this way!
After all, none of these people listen to him, so why should he step forward to plead for them?

Besides, he had just lost face in front of Emperor Qianxi, so how could he plead for these guys?

He hadn't handled the task Emperor Qianxi had given him properly. Although no major trouble had occurred, he ultimately appeared incompetent and unable to manage his subordinates in front of Emperor Qianxi. "As for these censors, Your Highness, what do you think should be done with them?" To Chen Tingjing's surprise, Emperor Qianxi actually asked the Crown Prince.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingjing's heart skipped a beat.

Is Your Majesty trying to let the Crown Prince settle his scores and seek revenge, or is Your Majesty using this opportunity to test him?

Or perhaps, both?
After all, the Crown Prince had rendered a great service to the court this time.

From any perspective, Emperor Qianxi needed to appease the Crown Prince.

Aren't these the most suitable people to appease?

Chao Huajiao and the others looked extremely grim.

Originally, it was a serious crime for a subject to impeach the emperor, let alone now that this matter has caused such a huge blunder.

The crown prince was not only innocent, but also meritorious.

In this situation, they all became nothing more than clowns jumping around.

Emperor Qianxi entrusted their fate to the Crown Prince. How would the Crown Prince deal with them?

Should we repay evil with kindness?

Over the years, although the Crown Prince has paid considerable attention to his reputation, he has not done many acts of repaying evil with kindness.

Just as they were feeling uneasy, they heard Shen Ye say with a smile, "Father, although the censors impeached me for this matter, I do not hold a grudge against them."

"After all, they were doing it for the country."

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Chao Huajiao and the others felt even more anxious instead of relieved.

They knew very well that there was a term called "turning point".

The Crown Prince said he wouldn't hold a grudge, but he would definitely not let it go easily.

Since the Crown Prince has already said he doesn't hold a grudge, his suggestion will be very easy to pass, and in that case...

The eldest prince and a few others were also a little uncomfortable, after all, they had gone to great lengths to win over Chao Huajiao and the others.

Although he was only a person of the fifth rank or below, he was still an imperial censor.

They didn't harm the crown prince, but instead lost their own subordinate's "mouthpiece," which was a considerable loss for them.

Shen Ye then changed the subject, saying, "As I just said, the reason why I was wrongly impeached is not because of them, but because of the problem with the eight-legged essay system for selecting officials."

"As a result, although they passed the imperial examination, they were completely ignorant of general affairs."

"Your subject hopes to establish a school so that these newly appointed scholars can study together."

"This school teaches agronomy, water conservancy, and auditing..."

"The scholars don't need to be experts in these things, but they should know them to avoid mistaking wheat seedlings for chives."

"In order to ensure that these scholars can truly learn what the academy teaches, I believe that if each new scholar cannot pass the examination in the subject he has chosen, he should continue to study it."

Passing the imperial examination but not being able to become an official, and having to go back to school to study again, is enough to drive many people to despair.

Therefore, these newly appointed scholars will definitely study as hard as they can.

Shen Ye continued, "As for officials below the fifth rank, I believe that they should also receive appropriate training before being promoted, so that these officials are not worthy of their positions."

"They have the position, but lack the ability to take on the responsibility."

As Emperor Qianxi listened to Shen Ye's suggestion, his mind raced.

He felt that training the newly appointed scholars was very necessary.

Because there are indeed many newly appointed scholars who have devoted themselves to studying the classics, but they have no idea how to handle government affairs. This kind of study can be said to be a one-time solution.

Moreover, many of the tasks in the Six Ministries require specialized personnel.

This type of training can also solve the problem of a shortage of professional talent.

However, this academy seemed to have little power, only training officials below the fifth rank, but Emperor Qianxi sensed that this academy was extraordinary.

If managed well, this academy might be just as good as the Imperial Academy.

No, it should be said that this academy is even stronger than the Imperial Academy.

After all, the Imperial Academy only trains students, while this place trains Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations)!

As long as you pass the imperial examination, you have to study here. In fact, this is also a kind of teacher-student relationship!

Just as Emperor Qianxi was silent, someone said, "Father, I believe that the Crown Prince's suggestion is a good one. It would be a good thing to train the newly appointed scholars for a period of time to improve their abilities once and for all."

"Your humble servant is willing to share the burden with Father Emperor and Crown Prince, and requests to be specifically in charge of the construction of this school."

Shen Ye's mouth was getting dry from talking, and just as he was about to catch his breath, he heard this helpful voice trying to ease his worries, which made him feel a surge of anger.

My peach trees were just planted, and you couldn't wait to come and pick the peaches!
How can you be so shameless? Does your dad know?
