Su Shu has been waiting for the development of things, and he has made plans for various emergencies.
This action will be the first time Su Shu has shown his strength since he entered the officialdom.
He must be foolproof and crush his opponents with extreme strength.
This will boost one's own morale, instill fear in the enemy, and at the same time deter those who are hiding in the dark and are ready to take action.
Only in this way can Su Shu obtain a safe growing environment.
When he truly takes control of the empire, that's when he can do whatever he wants and not be afraid of any force.
In the past few days, Wei Daxun, as the representative of the prefect, supervising Director Hao Dafang, has been vigorously cracking down on the gangs that have emerged in Shuntian Prefecture.
Hao Dafang also worked extremely hard in order to seek refuge with the eldest prince Su Shu.
The results achieved in just a few days exceeded those achieved in previous years. All the gangs in the Shuntianfu area were wiped out by the government.
Su Shu learned from his mother, Wang Wenjun, that a large number of officials in the capital were uniting to impeach Su Shu for indulging the government officials and oppressing the people at will.
They caught Su Shu without asking the court for instructions, and used armed personnel with standard ordnance in the capital.
The eldest prince Su Shu spied on the Holy Emperor with the intention of treason.
When Su Shu learned this information, he knew that he and the group of old Confucianists had become life-and-death enemies.
If these people want to kill him, he will not let these people go. Even if they cannot be completely eliminated, he will cut off one of their fingers and let them feel great pain.
Su Shu had already set a trap, and he was extremely happy when these people actually jumped out.
Now he is just waiting for these people to take action. He will make a beautiful counterattack and completely establish his position.
Zhou Baixin looked panicked, and he knocked on the door of the eldest prince Su Shu hastily with his hand.
At the same time, he shouted loudly into the room: "Sir, I have something important to report."
Su Shu could almost predict why Zhou Baixin was panicking?
He was not angry at all for Zhou Baixin's panic.
This man is indeed smart and has a flexible mind, but he cannot make a career on his own and chooses to be a staff member.
That is, his ability to withstand stress is weak and he tends to panic when encountering problems.
Su Shu calmly ordered: "Mr. Zhou, come in!"
He saw Zhou Baixin holding several newspapers and walking into the house in a panic.
Su Shu put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "Mr. Zhou's ability to meditate is still a bit weak. Why is he acting so panicked?"
Zhou Baixin took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and handed the newspaper to the eldest prince Su Shu with both hands.
He saw the eldest prince Su Shu taking the newspaper and reading its contents.
He then said: "Master Su, someone is slandering you in the newspaper.
They call gang members good people.
They were so courageous that they openly labeled a deer as a horse and slandered Mr. Su. "
After Su Shu read the content in the newspaper, he said disdainfully: "These are people who are about to be swept into the garbage dump.
No matter how noisy they are, it has no effect on me. "
Zhou Baixin saw the eldest prince Su Shu's nonchalant, relaxed and natural expression.
The thing he was worried about never appeared, so he was slightly relieved.
After Su Shu read these newspapers, he ordered: "Mr. Zhou, you have to go to the Criminal Bureau and Shuntian Prefecture Dali Temple.
Let them implement the rules for dealing with gang members as soon as possible.
Inform Dali Temple that relevant cases must be handled as ironclad cases.
After each case is processed, a copy of the file is sent to me. "
After Zhou Baixin got the assignment, he immediately went to Dali Temple after packing his luggage and urged local officials to handle the case as soon as possible.
Su Shu has not been idle these days. He wants to weave a rope that can strangle his opponent.
…………………………
Su Shu looked at the information in his hand. With this information, Tian Guangsheng and most other old Confucian officials would definitely not be able to survive his revenge.
Zhou Baixin was also very efficient in handling matters. The cases he was mainly involved in were somewhat high-level, and the local people wanted to leave this matter to others.
Su Shu had received exact information from his mother, Queen Wang Wenjun.
The old Confucians believed that public opinion had been laid, and they could officially take off on the fame of the eldest prince Su Shu.
Su Shu also wants to do this, so it depends on who is more skilled.
But Su Shu believed that he must win. The old Confucian circle was too complex and had different ideas.
The news had leaked before they even officially took action.
As enemies, Su and Shu have already received relevant information.
He knows what the enemy is doing, but the enemy doesn't know what he is doing. How can he lose in this situation?
After Su Shu was ready, he went to the palace to attend the court meeting.
He participated in the Great Court and was already a skilled veteran.
Since Su Shu entered the officialdom, he has never been absent from a major court meeting and accumulated rich experience.
He skillfully approached Huangji Hall and stood at the position of Shuntian Magistrate. Before the court meeting started, he skillfully greeted the people around him.
When the officials around him saw that it was the eldest prince Su Shu who was greeting him, they responded enthusiastically.
While Su Shu was chatting and laughing with his colleagues, his father had already sat on the throne, and the imperial meeting had officially begun.
According to past practice, the meeting first discussed important matters concerning the emergence of the empire.
These things have nothing to do with Su Shu. Unless someone asks Su Shu, he never expresses his opinion on irrelevant matters.
Su Shu was recharging his energy, knowing that this was just the calm before the storm.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi announced that the scheduled content of the imperial meeting had been discussed.
If all officials are fine, the emperor can announce that he will accept the meeting.
If someone among the officials submits a memorial, they will discuss the matter.
Trivial matters will definitely not be discussed in a court meeting.
The sonorous voice of Tian Guangsheng, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, resounded throughout the Huangji Palace.
"Tian Guangsheng, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, has written a report that I want to impeach the prefect of Shuntian.
The prefect of Sunchon formed a quasi-army to capture good people at the emperor's feet.
To use so many troops in the capital shows disobedience. Your Majesty should not leave any future troubles. "
When Su Shu heard this, he knew that he should take action.
He cursed loudly: "Shameless old thief, a worm of the country, you don't deserve to say that."
After Su Shu finished cursing, he walked out of the queue and saluted his father: "Your Majesty, I have collected the relevant evidence. Please allow me to bring the relevant evidence to the Huangji Palace."
Emperor Su He immediately agreed to this matter.
He also wanted to see how Su Shu would perform?
The guards quickly brought up a large box of case files.
Su Shu pointed to the case and said: "Father, gangs do a lot of evil, and the Yamen in Erchen's jurisdiction destroyed these gangs.
The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate specially sent people to guide relevant work.
Erchen can guarantee that no innocent person will be arrested in this operation. "
Su Shu asked the guards to distribute the files to many officials.
After reading the dossier, they were all very angry.
Some outspoken officials immediately agreed: "Good job, we should catch them all in one go."
"There is no protective umbrella behind them, and these evildoers will not be let off lightly."
"Master Tian, these are the good people you call good people.
Which country's good citizens can do such vicious things. "
Tian Guangsheng looked through the contents of the file and felt angry after reading it.
Before they could make a move, the opponent almost knocked them unconscious.
He immediately shouted: "These files are probably fabricated."
Maoxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, immediately stood up and reprimanded: "Master Tian, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Can't you tell whether the file is true or false?"
When Tian Guangsheng heard Maoxiang's words, he seemed to be choked by something, and he was immediately unable to make a sound.
It was because he could understand it that it was incredible.
These files turned out to be true. He knew that these things were all true. What would happen to them?
Emperor Su He read the contents of the file, especially the contents related to the Tiger Gang.
The resurgence of gangs at the emperor's feet is an unusual sign in itself.
What's more, the Tiger Gang dared to open an opium den in Yongfang, Dashi, despite the disapproval of the world.
The Tiger Gang had been disintegrated by Su Shu, and he felt very happy when he saw this.
However, the emergence of the Tiger Gang must have a protective umbrella with a transcendent status. Otherwise, it only takes a few government officials to wipe out the Tiger Gang easily.
A few words in the file reveal that the Tiger Gang has a very secret relationship with Tian Guangsheng, the minister of the Ministry of Justice.
When Emperor Su He saw this, he had already sentenced Tian Guangsheng to death.
If this guy doesn't die, it won't be enough for the people to be angry.
Tian Guangsheng knew that his situation was over. He looked at Su He with a smiling face and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Su Shu has a disobedient heart. He mobilized a large number of quasi-armies in the capital."
Tian Guangsheng shouted loudly, while trying his best to break away from the guards.
He looked at the eldest prince Su Shu with his peripheral vision and found that the eldest prince looked at him with a mocking face.
Tian Guangsheng's mentality collapsed, and he immediately shouted: "I am a loyal minister, and I do this all for the empire."
Su Shu took out a telegram and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, times have changed.
Did you know that a wireless telegraph machine can send messages to distant places instantly?
If you want to ask for something, you no longer need to write it by hand and send it on horseback.
Even if Mr. Tian sends someone to keep an eye on me, it will have no effect. "
Tian Guangsheng looked at the telegram in Su Shu's hand. This was a telegram that Su Shu directly asked Emperor Su He for instructions.
Su Shu's actions in Shuntian Mansion have been approved by Emperor Su He.
He is like the villain in a drama, being played around with applause.
If he didn't know now that this was a trap, then he wouldn't be able to become the Minister of Justice.
Tian Guangsheng shouted: "Why, why is this happening, why me."
Su Shu shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I'll put a trap in front of the door. Who knows what stupid thief will come to steal something."
Emperor Su He looked at the civil and military officials with sharp eyes.
"Tian Guangsheng took bribes, alienated the royal family, and assassinated the prince.
Tian Guangsheng was sentenced to death, his family property was confiscated, and his entire family was exiled to the frontier. "
Before Tian Guangsheng left the palace, he immediately began to cry loudly when he heard Emperor Su He's verdict against him.
Tian Guangsheng's cry did not attract the attention of the officials.
They all stared at the eldest prince Su Shu.
They originally thought that Su Shu had come to gild for training, but now it seemed that the eldest prince Su Shu was extremely difficult to deal with.
After this incident, they saw the eldest prince Su Shu as a force that could truly influence the situation of the court.
This matter has been delayed for a long time.
After the matter is over, the meeting will officially end.
When Su Shu walked out of Huangji Hall, he felt that everything around him was different.
All the civil and military officials finally had a little respect for himself.
This is not relying on his father, but truly relying on his own abilities to gain the respect of others.
Su Shu returned to the government office. He made a cup of tea and was thinking about how to take advantage of the decline of the old Confucianism to catch them all.
An uninvited guest followed Su Shu to the government office.
Su Shu recognized this middle-aged man with gray hair.
He is none other than Honeysuckle, Minister of Industry.
Su Shu curiously asked: "Jin Shangshu, why do you have something to come to my humble residence today?"
He could already guess a little bit about Honeysuckle's purpose.
Honeysuckle said politely: "I'm really sorry today, I'm here to be a lobbyist.
Tian Guangsheng's series of practices were only his personal practices. He had almost lost contact with old Confucianism.
Old Confucianism is willing to compensate His Highness for his losses. "
After Su Shu listened, he just chuckled.
These words are just words. Tian Guangsheng is just the minister of the Ministry of Justice. He can do so many things, and there must be someone behind him to guide him.
Honeysuckle saw Su Shu's nonchalant look.
He reminded again: “Your Highness, life is full of compromises.
Wishful grudges are just a moment of bravery. "
When Su Shu heard Honeysuckle say this, he knew that Honeysuckle had lost the motivation to move forward.
He immediately retorted: "Compromise is just a strategy used by the weak to deal with the strong.
Only the weak will compromise, the strong do not need to compromise. "
Honeysuckle said helplessly: "Your Highness, do you really want to kill them all?
New Confucianism has only been around for a long time, and most people’s understanding of Confucianism is still that of old Confucianism. "
Honeysuckle didn't want to take this trip into troubled waters, but he needed to repay his previous kindness.
If it's an easy thing, I wouldn't ask him to come to terms with it.
Su Shu shook his head and said firmly: "Which Confucianism the people recognize has nothing to do with me.
I just don’t want to meet the powerful people in the old Confucian coterie.
Of course, they were innocent, as advertised, and Jin Shangshu had nothing to worry about. "
When Honeysuckle saw Su Shu's resolute attitude, he knew that this matter would definitely not go well.
Su Shu sent Honeysuckle out, and his face immediately turned cold.
Being able to invite the Minister of Honeysuckle as a lobbyist, the remaining strength of the old Confucianism is still very strong.
Su Shu immediately said to his confidants: "You must act quickly and collect enough evidence before taking action."
He has made old Confucianism pay a serious price, and now is the time to practice it.
Su Shu recalled the conversation he had just had with Honeysuckle Minister.
Only the weak need to compromise. He is right in saying this. This is also the consensus of most people.
He must show himself strong to the outside world so that he can unite those around him, and he must never show weakness.
His current experience as a prince is the most important stage.
The father will most likely not provide support and observe how the princes behave when they encounter problems.
Once Su Shu shows weakness, the news will inevitably reach the ears of his father.
His father had always had high expectations for him, and he could not let his father have doubts about his abilities because of such a trivial matter.
This is also an important reason why Su Shu will never compromise on this matter. (End of chapter)
