Chapter 30: Radical
Moreover, the time when Xue Shufei's brother was demoted three levels in a row happened to coincide with the time when Xue Shufei was imprisoned...
Chi Xinian instinctively felt that behind this incident, perhaps Yan Chujing was calculating.
But what can he calculate? Is this time ready to tear up the face with the family? The power in his hands is not strong enough, and the military power is not firmly controlled in his hands for the time being, is it really appropriate to turn his face at this time?
He doesn't look like a man who can fight an unprepared battle, but his radical actions are really incomprehensible...
At this time, Chi Xinian was puzzled, and in that room, in order to show off what he knew, Zhou Guiren said proudly: "Actually, for a person of Xue Er's status, the mistakes he made were not enough to make him three levels downgrade.
"It's just that the errand given by His Majesty was not done well, and he was caught by Yan Guan with a pigtail of embezzlement and bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain, and was jointly participated in by several people.
"This kind of thing, put on the sons of the family, it is usually a matter of fining some money and confinement for a few months, I don't know how this time, how did it become like this..."
"Ayu, don't talk about state affairs wantonly!" Seeing that her sister couldn't control her mouth again, Lin Jieyu hurriedly kicked her and reminded her in a low voice.
At the same time, she also secretly glanced at Chi Xinian's face.
Although Concubine Shu and the queen must be enemies, they should be careful when speaking in the palace. Who knows, the queen who is not used to seeing the concubine will have the heart to kill two birds with one stone?
However, Chi Xinian did not grab Zhou Guiren's pigtails as Lin Jieyu suspected.
On the contrary, she affirmed Zhou Guiren's statement, and also commented bluntly for the first time: "You are right, at the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, it received the support of many big families, so the law has always been tolerant of the children of the family.
"After a noble like Xue Xuan, he found corruption and bribery for the first time, that is, he was fined and confiscated stolen money, and then he could pay double the fine.
"Three levels in a row is indeed a heavy punishment unlike any other."
What is going on in your mind at this Yan Chujing?
Even if he is now dissatisfied with the family's aggressiveness, and wants to kill chickens to show monkeys, he has to grasp the measure, right? He is so radical that not only can he not be intimidated, but he will attract envy because he has touched everyone's privileges...
Chi Xinian couldn't help but be a little anxious.
It's not because of how much she loves this person, but because she is really sincere to him and the court. It is also true that he is reluctant to let a capable and good-looking emperor fall into trouble.
She thought that she still had to find an opportunity to remind him.
So after sending off a few palace concubines, she ordered the palace cook to make a few elegant Jiangnan snacks and carried them all the way to the imperial study.
At that time, Yan Chujinggang talked with his confidant minister about the punishment of Xue Xuan.
The minister also felt that he was in a hurry to make this move, but he said to the people: "This time the army is a dangerous move, I have my own intentions, and Zhu Aiqing doesn't have to worry." Moreover... As long as the Chi family stands firm, the Xue family does not dare to be too arrogant. ”
"But the Chi family... Would you like to be a part of these things? The old minister hesitated, "That family is all tendons, they can only fight, and they never care about the situation in the DPRK and China, you..."
"Don't I still have a queen? She'll help me. Yan Chujing swore an oath.
Seeing that he was confident, the old minister didn't say much.
But when he bowed and retreated, the confidence on Yan Chujing's face was replaced by a tangled face: "It's easy to say, but the queen's side..."
