Chapter Ninety-Three: Impeachment in the Imperial Court
Su Yuanqing only felt that his body trembled, and he looked at the emperor with some horror, only to see that the emperor's face was gloomy, and he was not satisfied with Su Yuanqing.
Su Yuanqing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Back to the emperor, this matter ...... The minister really doesn't know, as for the distant relative, the minister doesn't remember that there is such a person. What Su Yuanqing said was also true, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't know that he still had such a bastard relative.
The emperor glanced at Su Yuanqing coldly, "You don't know? Su Yuanqing, you are an important minister, I have always valued you, and I also pushed you to be a model for the words and deeds of the courtiers in the court, but is this what you do? Are you worthy of my trust in you? What nonsense! ”
Su Yuanqing listened obediently, and nodded from time to time, "Yes, it's all the minister's fault, don't be angry, if the dragon's body is damaged, it will be the minister's sin." ”
The emperor snorted coldly, obviously his anger had not subsided, he slapped the table and stood up, today's matter is not only Su Yuanqing's face has been lost, he is even more faceless, he praised him the day before, and he was impeached today!
Su Yuanqing's head lowered, the Son of Heaven was angry, and the situation was serious.
The emperor walked a few steps, and then he sighed and said, "You must find out this matter for me, and the punishment that should be punished must put an end to the prevalence of this bad atmosphere!" ”
"Yes, yes, I'll check when I go back!" Su Yuanqing hurriedly agreed, and he didn't dare to say anything else at this time.
The emperor thought about it for a while, and added, "Punish you for another half a year!" Set an example! ”
"Yes!" Su Yuanqing still agreed, with a humble expression.
The emperor glanced at him, and when he saw that he was so respectful, he was angry, so he waved his hand, and was about to let him step back, when he saw the big eunuch Li Dequan next to him hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yushi asks to see you." ”
The Emperor rubbed his forehead, "Let him in." ”
Master Yushi hurriedly walked in, he glanced at Su Yuanqing, and then saluted the emperor, "See the emperor." ”
"Well, what are you here for?" The emperor asked leisurely.
Yushi replied, "Back to the emperor, the minister is here to play Prime Minister Bensu this time!" ”
As soon as Yu Shi said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the emperor and Su Yuanqing, Su Yuanqing secretly gritted his teeth, he knew that this Yu Shi had always been unaccustomed to him, and he had stumbled openly and secretly, but now he had fallen into the well again.
The emperor was also surprised, so he asked, "Tell me more about it." ”
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su Cheng is an exemplary official, but he is not strict in governing the family, first there are distant relatives who are rampant, and now there is a funeral at home, but his wife Liang openly went out to laugh, wantonly bought jewelry and other things, and his words and deeds were inappropriate, and it caused a fight in the house, crying and crying in the house, attracting passers-by to watch, it is really harmful!" That's what the Imperial History is talking about, and that's what happened today.
Su Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat again, and he didn't know about this!
Su Yuanqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be handled well when the minister goes back, there is a funeral in the family, and the minister's family is already too sad, so it has not been dealt with well for a while, as for the inappropriate words and deeds in the cheap, the minister promises that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future." ”
The emperor looked at him deeply, his face full of exhaustion, "Well, then you will be fined for one year!" You step aside! Go back and deal with this mess in your house! ”
Su Yuanqing hurriedly buckled his head and agreed, and when he came out of the imperial study, Su Yuanqing breathed the outside air again, and the whole person seemed to come to life, he exhaled deeply, and then walked back quickly.
When I arrived at the house, Mrs. Chen hadn't left yet, and the women in the room were still noisy and whining.
Su Yuanqing was trained today, and he was angry, and he was even more angry when he saw this scene.
And when Mrs. Chen saw Su Yuanqing, she also stepped forward to cry, "Oh, Prime Minister, you're finally back......"
"That's it!" Su Yuanqing spoke out angrily.
Let Mrs. Chen shut up instantly, just blinking and looking at him. Not only Mrs. Chen, but everyone else in the room was also stunned, quietly looking at Su Yuanqing.
Su Yuanqing glanced at Mrs. Chen, "Don't you think it's messy enough here?" Your old man impeached me in the court, and you came to the house to make a fuss again, how can you make the emperor reprimand me, you are happy? Hmph, let me tell you, I can't do it without this home! What do you think is good for you to make a fuss like this? ”
Mrs. Chen was completely speechless, and sat obediently for a while before leaving
Mrs. Liang was happy when she saw this, so she stepped forward and said, "The master is tired, the emperor has reprimanded you today?" ”
Su Yuanqing squinted at Liang Rong, "You still have the face to say, the emperor reprimanded me, and there is a credit for you!" ”
Listening to Su Yuanqing's mocking words, Liang Rong didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, "I ......"
"What are you? I ask you, did you run out to shop for jewelry? Do you still look like a bit of a housewife? Don't you look at what time it is, are you so impatient to go out and buy those things? It was the first time that Su Yuanqing spoke to Liang Rong in such an angry tone, and Liang Rong was also stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su Yuanqing gasped and ordered his subordinates in a loud voice, "Come on, let the eldest lady go back to the house and reflect on it!" Liang Rong was really afraid of Zhou Jinghan like this, and she was also at fault in this matter, so she could only go back in a muffled voice, she was resolute all her life, this was the first time she was so embarrassed.
When Liang Rong went down, only Su Yuanqing and the old lady were left in the house.
It was also the first time for the old lady to see her eldest son getting so angry, and she finally spoke, "Yuanqing, don't be angry, just pay attention in the future, these are not a big deal." ”
"What does Mother think is a big deal? Today, the emperor decreed that I should be fined for one year, is this a small matter? The mother said, relying on power as one side of the disaster, robbing the people's daughters, oppressing the people, and forcibly occupying the land are big or small things? ”
The old lady was silent, her heart was uneasy, she blinked, and only whispered for a long time, "Yuanqing, what are you talking about...... What is the meaning? ”
"What does Mother think?" Su Yuanqing asked rhetorically.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Yuanqing, Xunbao is still young, he ...... these things."
"Xunbao?"
"That's it...... is the son of your third uncle and grandfather, and he is the only son in the family. The old lady said.
Su Yuanqing sneered, "Why haven't I seen this person?" ”
"He's been raised outside since he was a child, and you've never seen him."
Su Yuanqing took a deep breath with disappointment, "Mother, you really know about this matter." ”
The old lady was startled, she didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't make up her mind, she could only say, "I...... I also know a little bit about it, I didn't expect what he did to affect you! ”
"Mother, you ...... this matter Alas, confused! They shouldn't be allowed to do that! Su Yuanqing was helpless at this time, and his heart was both aggrieved and full of pain.
The old lady sneered, "Yuanqing, Xunbao is still young, he doesn't understand this, so don't pursue him, okay?" The old lady's tone was low, as if she was pleading.
Seeing her mother's humble attitude towards herself, Su Yuanqing naturally felt uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she did this completely to protect her mother's family, and Su Yuanqing couldn't help but feel angry again.
"He's still young? Hmph, if he continues to be so lawless, he will be finished! There is no other discussion in this matter, and it must be dealt with according to the law! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the court! Su Yuanqing had a tough attitude and refused to give in at all.
The old lady was also stunned, Su Yuanqing had always been respectful to her, but now this attitude made her feel a little uneasy.
"Yuanqing...... Even if your mother begs you, will it work? Xunbao is the only incense in the house, he can't have anything! ”
Su Yuanqing endured it, his face was flushed, his chest rose and fell violently because of panting, he suppressed his voice, and trembled a little, "Mother...... Do you ignore me for the sake of your mother's family? ”
The old lady was also very entangled, she cried and said, "It's not that I'm ruthless, there's really no way, Yuanqing, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, you are in a high position, the emperor won't treat you like anything, but Xunbao can't do it, he ......"
"Enough!" Su Yuanqing finally couldn't help it, and roared angrily, interrupting the old lady's words.
"Mother, I also said here today, do you want the future of our Su family to protect that unsuccessful thing? Choose one of the two, there is no negotiation. After Su Yuanqing finished speaking, he stared at the old lady.
The old lady sighed, if she really chooses, she naturally has to weigh the choice of Su Mansion, so she whispered, "Okay, you ...... Just deal with it impartially. The old lady seemed to have no strength and sat down in her chair.
Su Yuanqing summoned Mama Xue and asked her to take care of the old lady, and she didn't stay for a moment to catch Xunbao.
In order to make an effect for everyone to see, Su Yuanqing was really selfless this time, and did not leave a little mercy, Xunbao naturally cried and screamed, and pleaded with Su Yuanqing's relatives, but Su Yuanqing was unmoved, handed over Xunbao to Dali Temple, and instructed him not to look at his face, how to deal with it, this sensation is not small, the people who impeached him and the emperor also heard about it, and saw that he really had no favoritism, and he dealt with it without leakage, so this matter passed.
At the same time, Zhou Jinghan, who was far away in Anqing, also received a secret order from the emperor to prepare to close the net.
