After being transferred to the position of censor of Youdu, he became famous in one battle. It was this person who proposed the system of sending Yushitai censors to inspect the country on a regular basis together with Dali Temple to evaluate officials, correct official administration, discover and impeach corrupt officials, and investigate unjust cases. Now it has become an existence that everyone in the capital fears. Su Jin, who is now the censor of the right capital of Yushitai, has remained silent on this matter. A group of angry and frightened officials rushed directly to the Yushitai, asking Su Jin, who was known as an iron man, to stand up for them.
Even if the emperor is not allowed to change his mind, the three prime ministers who remained silent this time and did not show that they should assist the emperor as a prime minister and advise him to correct the emperor's faults will at least be pulled off their horses. one. Looking at the excited people in front of him, Su Jin sighed. Now that he has reached the position of the second grade, how can he be like those stupid young people back then? After he became the censor of the right capital, the officials he impeached were all based on real evidence, and some were ordered by the emperor.
It is even more clear how big the role Fu Yuanshan and the other two people now play in the court. How could he impeach Fu Yuanshan and others because of this matter that the emperor insisted on? Besides, it’s not like he doesn’t know what thoughts these people have behind their surface selflessness. Not to mention, he was born as the head of the Royal Palace and knew very well what happened to Chen Yao back then. How could he touch the young emperor's wounds because of this incident? I didn't try to persuade him back then, so how could I stop him now?
Facing the excited chatter of the officials, Su Jin seemed not to hear it and kept sipping the tea in his hand. It's like the inferior tea leaves in the cup of tea in your hand are the best and most frightening fragrance. After he drank the tea in the cup, he raised his head and looked at the officials beside him, and said with a faint smile: "Do you know who your Majesty's Empress Chen is? And why did she die? I I know that most of you have only passed the imperial examinations or been transferred to the capital in these years."
"I don't know much about that incident back then. But before you go into this trap, you should at least inquire and understand the identity of Empress Chen. Most of you are Jinshi scholars and have read books for so many years. , you should be sensible. If you think something your Majesty has done is inappropriate and write a letter to object, this is your right, and it is also the right granted to you by His Majesty and the court. There is no problem. But the question is, before writing the letter, do you object to it? You didn’t even bother to understand the matter, and then you just rashly wrote a letter to oppose it?”
"Today, I will tell you who this Empress Chen is. Before His Majesty left the palace, she had been taking care of His Majesty. And her death was also to save His Majesty. When His Majesty was assassinated in front of him, it was Empress Chen who desperately rescued him. , and asked His Majesty to hold on until the reinforcements arrived. And when she died, she was still pregnant with His Majesty's first dragon child. Not counting the friendship before leaving the palace, it was because of her life-saving grace to His Majesty that she was named the Queen. It’s not an exaggeration. Your Majesty is repaying your kindness, not doing anything random.”
"Over the years, Your Majesty has been thinking of ways to find Queen Chen's family. But you see what trouble Your Majesty got into while searching for Queen Chen's family? What kind of ancestors and what Zhou rites? They are all made by humans. Things, as the king of a country, why can't your Majesty change it? The ancestral system is good, but no one can see it for hundreds of years at a time. When it needs to be changed, then change it. Also, this matter is His Majesty's family matter, It’s not a state matter. Are you so excited about it, are you doing it for public or private reasons?”
Su Jin's words directly blocked the mouths of those people. Indeed, not many of them knew the relationship between Queen Chen's identity and Huang Qiong. When Huang Qiong was assassinated, few of the officials in office now know the whole story. Either they have become officials when they are old, or they have been promoted or transferred out of the capital over the years. There are not many people left in the capital now. There were not many people who knew the details of Huang Qiong's assassination, and no one wrote a letter to oppose it.
Especially Lu Duan and Lu Mengzheng, not to mention clearly knowing the ins and outs of that incident, both of them were implicated. As for Fu Yuanshan, he generally doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing. In Fu Yuanshan's view, the current emperor is aggressive in his politics and has shaken off the decadent trend that has been fostered in the imperial court for more than a hundred years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty. He is steady yet radical, diligent yet extremely capable. As for personal ethics, life is quite simple. There is neither the construction of palaces nor random rewards.
Although in terms of female sex, she is a bit cold and careless. But there are no perfect people in this world. Is it possible for the emperor to be a gentleman with both public and private virtues? In particular, this master is not the kind of person who follows the rules and will be hijacked by civil servants. What's more, Fu Yuanshan, who was transferred to Jing Zhaoyin after Huang Qiong was assassinated and became the starting point of his own career on the fast track, has no idea about the identity of Empress Chen. And the reason for death is even more clear. How could Fu Yuanshan, who knew Huang Qiong's affectionate character even more, give Huang Qiong a hard time because of this matter?
The three prime ministers are all pragmatic people, and they are all people with the same sperm. Who would wade into this muddy water? And all three of them knew clearly who were standing behind those officials who were like crazy and insisted on letting the emperor give an explanation to the world on this matter. What is the real reason for the officials who insist on this matter? Who is standing behind him is even more clear in his heart. I also know that a large part of them are actually pointing at the three of them. No one is stupid when they are in a hurry.
Therefore, no matter how the officials tried to drag them into the water, the three of them refused to respond. The three prime ministers did not speak, which made the officials even more angry. Later, many of the discounts were pointed directly at them. Today, these officials came to find Su Jin. Huang Qiong violated the ancestral system and made a woman who was not even a concubine a queen. This was just a pretense, and more in fact it was directed at the three prime ministers. They also know that it is not very possible for them to shake the status of these three people.
Therefore, today I found Su Jin, who is known as the iron head. After becoming the censor of the right capital, he pulled down a large number of officials, hoping that he would do this. But Su Jin's words directly killed half of these people's hopes. Only then did they know the relationship between Queen Chen and Huang Qiong. The reason for his death was that the current emperor was seriously injured and died while trying to save the then Prince of Hejian County. The emperor did this to treat his savior kindly, which can be said to be a profound and righteous act. Is this a good thing that shows the emperor's love and justice?
If you continue to bite and hold on, wouldn't you become an unkind and unjust villain? But if he just let this matter go, how can he use this matter to bite the person he really wants to target? At this time, a group of officials looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything. Looking at the silent officials, Su Jin smiled and said to them: "Your Majesty is young and promising. Since he inherited the throne, he has always been conscientious in government affairs. Although many changes have been made, some have violated Those ancestral systems.”
"But if it is an ancestral system that is no longer in line with the current situation, why can't it be changed? When our ancestors conquered the country, could they have predicted the current situation? Who in this world can truly predict the events and changes that will happen more than a hundred years later? The ancestral system was also made by people, why can't it be changed? As officials of the current dynasty, you do not focus on your own errands and benefit the people. But because of His Majesty's love and justice, things that should be vigorously promoted are now There is random biting here. Have all your books been read into the dog’s belly?”
"Your Majesty, you have always been tolerant of officials' mistakes. But if there are people who don't know what to do and are unforgiving here, do you really think that you are all irreplaceable? Your Majesty has worked hard to govern, and it is only now that we have the great Qi Zhongxing. But you are here, attacking His Majesty for some trivial matters, and even implicating the three prime ministers. Do you really think that you can't be cured? One of you counts. If you use this matter again, don't talk about me. The censor of the right capital is the first one not to be lenient."
Su Jin's words made those officials shut up immediately. Officials in the capital all know that offending the emperor may not be the most terrifying thing. As long as he is not corrupt or does something irreparable and heinous, this emperor generally does not kill easily. At most, it will make you chew on the sand. But if you offend this Censor Su, even if you resign and go home, he will not forgive you. Seeing Su Jin, these officials were really angry and did not dare to continue inking. One by one, they left quietly and dejectedly.
After all the officials left, looking at the hurried backs of some people, Su Jin showed a sarcastic smile on his face. As soon as this matter began to surface, he restrained the Yushitai from making any compromises in this matter. The Yushitai cooperates with His Majesty to supervise all officials and rectify the administration of officials. If you are not a member of the Zhongshu Province, you have no right or obligation to interfere in the emperor's private affairs. Su Jin was quite clear about what Empress Chen meant to the emperor. To trouble the emperor on this matter is tantamount to stepping on the emperor's bottom line.
Therefore, Su Jin had no intention of getting involved at all. But he didn't expect that these officials didn't want to let him go and wanted to drag him into trouble. This was something Su Jin couldn't tolerate. In particular, he could clearly see what these officials were thinking, and now he was no longer the same person as Xiaobai back then, and he felt very angry. That's why today's angry rebuke against those officials came about. In the court, he has always been known for being fair and impartial, never showing favoritism to anyone or anything, let alone being a gangster.
In today's court, his majesty can be said to be growing. Now that he has opened his mouth, there are probably only a few others who would dare to jump out and hold on to this matter. After Su Jin angrily scolded him, the matter that almost destroyed the Li Zheng Palace building collapsed quietly. As for the people who were originally mainly members of the clan and were waiting to see the fun, they became more honest. Everyone knows that the status of that master cannot be shaken by all their secret manipulations. No matter how cruel the excuse is, he can't make him bow his head.
This matter disappeared under Su Jin's forcible suppression. Huang Qiong, who knew the cause and effect of the matter, just smiled and said to Fu Yuanshan that this guy had finally matured, and said nothing more. However, half a year later, Su Jin was promoted from the censor of the right capital to the censor of the left capital, taking full charge of the censorship. At the same time, he became a bachelor of Longtuge and was promoted to the first rank. Many people speculated that Su Jin was promoted because he worked hard for the emperor on this matter and suppressed what happened last time.
But the sober people in the court all understood that if Huang Qiong really wanted to reward Su Jin for his help, he would indeed be promoted to his rank, but he would never leave the entire Yushitai to him. The reason why the power of the Yushitai was handed over to him was that after he became the Yushi of Youdu, he made certain adjustments to the powers and responsibilities of the Yushitai, which was more in line with Huang Qiong's intention to supervise officials.
