The next morning.

The 'Shenxian San Special Rectification' meeting convened and presided over by the Criminal Department, with the full cooperation of invited officials from various departments, was successfully held in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

The first part of the meeting was naturally a praise of Guangde.

It was probably because of the presence of the people from the General Administration Department, so in this link, the representatives of the various yamen were extremely enthusiastic, posing in various kneeling and licking postures, and almost licking the sycophants and swollen.

However, Sun Shaozong keenly found that the clerk sent by the General Administration Department had only been stained with ink once from beginning to end, obviously pretending, and did not record these praises and virtues - as a practitioner of the official media, this guy's ideological consciousness is a bit low!

After singing the praises of virtue, it is finally time to talk about it...... Ahh

The recipe for making Shenxian San has now been spread everywhere, and if you want to cure it from the source, you must list several common medicinal herbs as contraband - but this option was strongly opposed by the Imperial Medical Department, so before the feasibility could be discussed, it was already stillborn.

Since the source cannot be cut off, it is natural that we can only find ways to prevent and control it from the people who use it.

However, in terms of specific prevention and control policies and the distribution of duties, Xu Liang and Sun Shaozong, the left attendants of the Criminal Department, had a 'cordial exchange' for a long time, but they could not reach a unified opinion.

At first, it was Xu Liang who put on the face of the superior leader, and wanted to forcibly blame the criminal department for this matter, and the criminal department would only bear the responsibility of supervision and supervision at that time - to put it bluntly, it is typical to take credit and not trouble.

After several ineffective defenses, Sun Shaozong had to take out two 'petitions' and take the fight back.

As a former criminal police captain, he is naturally well aware of the dangers of drugs, so after the first appearance of Shenxian San in the first month of this year, Sun Shaozong has written to the Criminal Department twice, requesting that 'Shenxian San' be listed as a prohibited drug, and explicitly prohibit trading and trading.

However, these two petitions were ignored by Chi Guoguo, a middle-level member of the Criminal Department, and some people even came to the inference that Sun Shaozong intended to counterattack and persecute the literati.

After all, this immortal scatter was originally popular in the literary meeting, and there are really people who have knocked out a few good poems - a good thing that can make Wen Si gush, and a mere martial artist is worthy of questioning?

Now that the situation has been reversed with the will of Emperor Guangde, these two rejected petitions have naturally become Sun Shaozong's bargaining cards.

Of course, if Xu Liang wasn't too strong and had to do something to suppress people, he might not have played these two cards - after all, the Criminal Department is also one of the dual competent departments of the Criminal Division, who is willing to do it against his superiors?

As soon as these two cards were played, the scene was immediately awkward.

When nothing happens, the lower attaches importance to the upper and ignores it; Now that there is a mistake, he asks the following soldiers to take the lead in carrying the black pot......

If it were somewhere else, the people below would really have nowhere to reason, but it would be obviously inappropriate to do so at the feet of the Son of Heaven - especially Sun Shaozong is now in full swing, even within the Criminal Department, there are a considerable number of technical officials who respect him very much, and if he really wants to make trouble, Xu Liang may not be able to take advantage of it.

However, the scene is embarrassing, and the things that the emperor explained must be resolved.

Therefore, after some 'eager and friendly' exchanges, the two sides finally reached the following consensus:

This pot, sure enough, should still be carried with the Ministry of Rites!

The scholars who are rich and rich gather to take drugs, and they even get to the point of running naked on the street, isn't this a problem with etiquette? !

Besides, to punish Xiucai Juren, it is really inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Rites - according to the rules, unless they commit a criminal felony, they must be removed from their reputation before the local government can make a judgment.

And the academic administration in the capital has always been concurrently served by officials of the Ministry of Rites.

As a result, the meeting, which was supposed to end in one day, was postponed until the afternoon of the next day.

Regardless of the verbal wars during this period, in the fixed link of singing merits and praises, Sun Shaozong keenly discovered that as long as Zhang Qiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, spoke, the secretary of the General Administration Department worked hard.

It seems that it is not that people's ideological consciousness is not enough, but that the level of the officials who attended the meeting yesterday was too poor, and they failed to shoot the height and breadth of the sycophants.

The book is not too much to say.

When I returned to my mansion with a thick stack of meeting minutes, it was already moonlight and stars.

Sun Shaozong was in the courtyard as usual, and used a lantern to dispel the 'evil' on his body, and then quietly entered the room, who knew that when he went in, there were two people lying side by side on the bed - and then look closely, it turned out that Xiangling was also in bed.

"Shh~ Be quiet, don't wake her up."

Ruan Rong hadn't slept yet, and when she heard the slightest movement, she raised her hand and made a silent gesture.

Sun Shaozong tiptoed to the head of the bed, looked at the corners of Xiangling's eyes, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" In the inner courtyard of our house, does anyone dare to bully her! ”

"Where did the master go?"

Ruan Rong glanced at him, and stretched out her snow-white arms forward, Sun Shaozong immediately understood, stepped forward and gently pulled her up, and put a pillow and mattress behind her back.

Then he himself leaned on the end of the bed and covered his legs with a quilt, only then did he hear Ruan Rong continue: "When we met today, I realized that the eldest son of the third young master's family was actually a rabbit's mouth—Xiangling muttered when she came back, and I coaxed him for a while before falling asleep." ”

Rabbit mouth?

Sun Chengye's son turned out to be a congenital cleft lip?!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he had never heard anyone mention this matter.

Then he hurriedly asked, "How is my sister-in-law coping?" Nothing went wrong, did it? ”

If there was no accident in this file, he wouldn't be worried that Jia Yingchun would be at a loss, but now......

"I was a little flustered at first."

Ruan Rong shook her head and said: "But the eldest lady is a kind-hearted person, I helped to play a few rounds, and she took advantage of the moment to give the gift, and took pity on the child by her side - look at the meaning of the third young grandmother, I am very grateful." ”

"That's good."

Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't feel at ease in his heart.

If it is in the next life, congenital cleft lip can still be repaired by surgery, but now it is a 'brand' that you will have to bear for the rest of your life, especially on the most conspicuous facial features.

And one of the basic requirements of the imperial examination is 'good facial features', although it doesn't need to be handsome and handsome, but the image like rabbit lips must be excluded.

In the Jinling Sun family, which claims to be a heirloom of poetry and books, this alone is enough to make people sigh.

Now that I think about it, Sun Chengye wants to move to the capital to live, and I am afraid that there is also a reason for this child - whether it is out of good intentions or malicious concern, it is a heavy burden for Sun Chengye and his wife.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong instructed: "Tomorrow morning, remember to prepare that gift for me - by the way, add a small dagger, which is the one that the eldest brother kept for Yi'er to use when he was going to catch Zhou." ”
