"No! We're not going!" After dinner, when talking about Sheng Yuan's part-time job in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Sheng Xiangxun shook his head and objected to Sheng Yuan's appointment, "Sister Yuan offended everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before. Yes, but now I have to serve as an official under someone else.
How can they tolerate it? Then there is Shen Liannong, an old man who has been running the Metropolitan Procuratorate for decades. Although he has been transferred away, he still has many contacts. It is difficult to cause a stumbling block? ! If Yu Quan lowers his grade and lowers the official assessment, Sister Yu Yuan's future will be affected! "
His objection was well-founded, and Sheng Xin, who came over after hearing the news, also nodded in agreement: "However, the imperial edict is difficult to resist, and you still have to learn what you should learn. I'm afraid the reason why the Holy Emperor transferred you here is not to reduce the freedom of the imperial censor to hear the news. "
Mrs. Zheng shook her head as she listened: "I didn't quite understand your Majesty's intention to restrict what the censor said at the beginning. I just thought that it has been like this for thousands of years. How can we change it? Now the censor named Shen actually put your father and sister An. After my son was impeached, I realized that this priceless negotiation was too much!"
Seeing that his mother still had some fear on her face, Sheng Xin couldn't help but comfort her and said: "That censor is just 'Xiangzhuang dancing sword, aiming at Pei Gong'. Now the position of the crown prince has not been determined. Since King Qi took over, King Hui is the The de facto eldest son of the emperor is usually highly regarded by the emperor, so it is inevitable that he will attract people's attention, so this is just a test."
"The position of crown prince!" This is what Zheng is worried about.
Although the emperor is now strong, he is getting old. I am afraid that the change of throne will not be peaceful.
Sister An is now married to King Hui. It would be okay if King Hui doesn't fight for her. If it goes one step further, who knows what the situation will be like?
These troubles are not water without a source, but they cannot be explained because they involve the royal family. Zheng can only digest them silently.
"What do you want to do with all this?!" Sheng Yuan saw that she had peeled a plate full of nuts, feeling very accomplished. She clapped her hands and comforted her worried parents and brother, "Our family has nothing to do with the royal affairs! Worrying comes and goes, it just creates a few more wrinkles, it doesn’t help.”
Their family cannot and cannot control who the emperor appoints as crown prince.
After all, in terms of life alone, Princess Hui's life may not be worse than that of the Queen.
"Furthermore, I am afraid that my father was impeached incidentally. Their targets are just my sister and King Hui! Not only did the previous report of the technology monopoly offend those wealthy gentry, but King Hui also proposed to adjust the agricultural tax and increase the commercial tax. This incident is just a thorn in their side." Sheng Yuan shook his head and sneered, "Let me tell you, what's the use of just rectifying the censor's power to report? You should take good care of the culture of officials acting as agents for those wealthy businessmen!"
Her tone was erratic, but when Sheng Xiangxun heard it, he was startled, and he hurriedly warned: "Nowadays, wealthy businessmen are different from aristocratic families. There are very few important ministers in the cabinet who come from aristocratic families, but they are inextricably linked to wealthy merchants." There are many people, otherwise Tu Yushi would not have been dismissed.
The Holy One may not have seen this, but he has many spokespersons throughout the court. They have also trained and bound many literati. Their influence cannot be solved by copying a certain family or clan.
Nowadays, the economy is developed, maritime and land trade is prosperous, and exchanges with more distant countries are becoming more frequent. The more developed the commerce is, the larger the merchant force will be, and the easier it will be for the court officials to establish contact with them.
Huge interests have given rise to such worries, and it is increasingly difficult to eliminate them. After all, interests are linked to desires. Huge interests not only drive merchants crazy, but also ministers may not be unswayed. "
Sheng Xiangxun was afraid that his little girl would become aggressive, so he directly hit the pain point accurately.
Emperor Jinghe has not yet thought of a solution to the problem. If the little girl raises it, what else can it do besides making herself the target of public criticism? !
Thinking of this, Sheng Xiangxun increasingly believed that the emperor's decision to send Sister Yuan to the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a trap!
The imperial edict cannot be disobeyed, but the mission can be discounted!
Sheng Xiangxun thought that his daughter could try to be a salted fish in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Sheng Yuan was confused about his reaction as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Dad, I'm here to study, not to carry out executions. Please relax! We are all decent people. Even if the people in the Procuratorate are dissatisfied, It’s not good to blatantly exclude people, why should we be shameless? As long as they want to be shameless, as long as they are not as thick-skinned as me, then it won’t be a problem!”
