The next day.
Just after the court meeting, Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister Zuo, I have a request," Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, said bluntly.
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, stopped what he was doing, looked at Cen He, the Minister of Punishment in front of him, and asked: "What do you want, Master Cen?"
"Left Prime Minister."
"In these days, Su Yunqi, the treacherous minister, has been unable to pry his mouth open."
"The officials who confessed their crimes dragged him into the water, but he insisted that he was unjust. So did the other traitorous officials."
"Therefore, I want to take down Su Yunqi's son Su Runchen and Du Dudu together with the officials who admitted their mistakes in advance, and use them to pry open the mouths of Su Yunqi and these traitorous officials."
Listening to what Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, said, this approach is indeed a bit too big.
"Cen Shangshu, if this is the case, how should we explain it then?" Sun Zhicai asked.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Zuo. When the time comes, the official will definitely discuss it with the officials who admitted their mistake in advance to set up a trap."
"Furthermore, there have been more and more people wanting to sue Su Yunqi recently. If we pull him out now, with everyone talking, he will definitely plead guilty."
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay. I'll discuss this matter with the emperor. If the emperor agrees, he will do this."
"Okay." Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, responded: "Then I will resign first and discuss with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple."
"Okay." Sun Zhicai responded.
Seeing Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, walking out, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, hurriedly put aside his official duties and walked towards the harem.
"emperor."
"Prime Minister Sun has something important to discuss with you."
After hearing this, Emperor Chen Ziyuan raised his immature face, looked at Eunuch Cen, the eunuch beside him, and said, "Please."
"yes."
After a while, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, hurriedly walked over.
Seeing the emperor Chen Ziyuan, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, did not forget to salute.
"I'm disturbing the emperor."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyuan had a smile on his face, looked at his grandfather Sun Zhicai, and asked, "Grandpa, what important matters do you want to discuss with me?"
"Return to the Emperor."
"Just now, Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment proposed that we should capture all the officials who surrendered when they broke into the palace. Afterwards, the people who had enmity with Su Yunqi and several officials who were unwilling to plead guilty planned a plan to pry them apart. An official’s mouth.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chen Ziyuan was surprised: "Take it?"
Seeing that Chen Ziyuan didn't understand, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, explained: "Returning to the emperor is, to be precise, a show. Furthermore, some of the officials who surrendered were still Su Yunqi's people. Punishment should be imposed.”
After hearing this, Chen Ziyuan seemed to understand a little bit: "In that case, then just do what you want."
"Okay." Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai responded.
Looking at Emperor Chen Ziyuan, he had nothing to ask himself
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Okay, Sun Zhicai said: "If your Majesty has nothing to say, then I will go and do my work first?"
Just as Sun Zhicai turned around and was about to leave, a shout made Sun Zhicai stop.
"Grandpa, stay."
With this shout, Sun Zhi, the left prime minister, turned back and looked at Chen Ziyuan in front of him: "Do you have anything to say, Your Majesty?"
"Yesterday, I asked you to help deliver the message. What did Han Muxin and the others say?" the emperor asked.
After hearing this, after thinking for a while, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, said: "Go back to the emperor. They said they can afford to wait."
"Is there nothing else?" the emperor asked.
Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai shook his head slightly: "No more."
After seeing this, Emperor Chen Ziyuan seemed a little disappointed.
"It's okay, you go and do your work first."
"good."
In response, Sun Zhicai took a few steps back, and when he was about to turn around and leave, another voice came over.
"Grandpa, stay."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, had no choice but to turn around and take a few steps forward.
"Does your Majesty have anything else to give you?" Sun Zhicai, the Prime Minister of the Left, asked.
Chen Ziyuan didn't hesitate much and said bluntly: "How is my mother?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, was stunned.
Looking at his grandfather's appearance, Emperor Chen Ziyuan realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly changed his words: "It was Li Xiran, the maid who served my mother back then. Is she okay now?"
Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, nodded: "Everything is fine. Don't worry."
"Grandpa, I have something to ask you."
Sun Zhicai: "Your Majesty, please speak frankly."
"Can I bring Li Xiran, the maid who served my mother, close to the palace? Without her, I would not be where I am today. I want to take her into the palace and treat her as my own mother."
Hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
I have lived for decades and have never heard of any emperor treating a maid who serves others as a mother.
After thinking for a while, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, said it according to his own thoughts: "Your Majesty, no."
"Why?" Chen Ziyuan didn't quite understand.
"Her identity is always a maidservant. It's okay to take her into the palace, but it's not okay to treat her as a biological mother."
"If so, the matter will spread by then. It will also affect her reputation."
"Moreover, nothing like this has ever happened before in all ages."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyuan was at a loss.
If you can take her into the palace, you can't treat her as your own mother, so what's the point of doing so?
After thinking about it, Emperor Chen Ziyuan gave up the idea.
"forget it."
"It's better to let her live outside the palace."
"Usually take care of her more for me. If she hadn't been there, I wouldn't be in this world now."
After listening to Chen Ziyuan's words, Sun Zhi, the left prime minister, was able to understand Chen Ziyuan's intentions.
Seeing this, Sun Zhicai responded: "Okay. Your Majesty's wishes,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I understand. "
The Emperor: "Okay. It's all right now. Grandpa can go and do his work first."
"good."
"I excuse myself."
After taking a few steps back, Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai walked outside.
After returning to the prime minister's house, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, saw Cen He, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan, and Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali temple, already waiting for left prime minister Sun Zhicai.
Guo Kang, the former censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xu Yongning, minister of Dali Temple, are now squatting in jail. However, they also confessed early.
As for what the final punishment will be, it is not yet known.
These officials can be said to belong to the Qingliu faction.
"Prime Minister Sun."
"Prime Minister Sun."
…
Seeing Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, walking in, several people began to say hello. Even the right prime minister, Xiao Hongyan, also followed suit.
Sun Zhicai walked to his seat with a smile. After sitting down, he looked at the three officials in front of him and said, "Look for a seat."
After the three officials found a place to sit nearby, they sat on chairs and conferred with the two prime ministers.
"It seems that you guys have discussed this." Sun Zhicai asked.
Several officials nodded.
"It's all been discussed."
"By the way, Prime Minister Sun, I wonder what the Emperor's opinion is?"
Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, asked expectantly.
Although they have only known each other for a few months, they can all see that the current emperor is very kind.
But Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, had sworn himself that he could never keep his words in front of the benevolent emperor.
Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, smiled slightly, looked at a few people, and then came back: "Don't worry. The truth has been discussed with the emperor. The emperor said that as long as you end this case as soon as possible, clear the innocence of those innocent officials, and restore the It's up to us to decide what to do with our reputation. A few days later, the emperor will just hear the outcome."
After hearing this, Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment showed his happy face: "That's great. Now that the plan has been decided, all that's left is to implement it."
Seeing how happy Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was, to be honest, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, was also happy in his heart.
Sun Zhicai: "Since everyone has discussed it, there is no need to discuss it with me anymore. Just follow your plan."
"Okay." Fan He, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responded.
Then, seeing the three officials reach a unanimous opinion, they all stood up.
"In this case, I will leave my subordinates first." Cen Shangshang of the Ministry of Punishment wrote.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai nodded and responded: "Okay."
After they all walked out, Xiao Hongyan, the right prime minister on the side, asked with some concern: "Prime Minister Sun, are you sure this method will work?"
Sun Zhicai looked at Right Minister Xiao Hongyan with a joyful face: "Don't worry, they will do things. Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Seeing Sun Xiang's confident look, Xiao Xiang stopped asking any more questions and continued busy with his work.
