At the morning court session that day, Su Juan was drowsy because she had chatted with Shen Ruhui the whole night before.
Because of the incident involving the Minister of Justice, a number of good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Justice were also exposed, and these people were closely related to each other.
The old emperor had a stern face. At this moment, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate was making a memorial, asking the old emperor to order a thorough investigation.
Many people panicked. If they conducted a thorough investigation, they might be the ones to be found out, so they tried to dissuade the police immediately.
The court officials on one side strongly advised that the Ministry of Justice was related to the whole country, and there were so many major cases every year. If it was not cleared up in one day, the court would be in unrest and it could not be delayed.
On the other hand, the old ministers urged that the rectification of the Ministry of Justice should not be rushed, for fear of hurting the hearts of the court officials and the people.
Even Prince Jing, contrary to his usual behavior, tried to stop him.
The two groups were fighting endlessly, and the old emperor could see that these people all had selfish motives. He wanted to reorganize the Ministry of Justice, but the Ministry of Justice was in charge of major cases in the world and involved a wide range of people. How could it be so easy to investigate? If he was not careful, the foundation of the court would be shaken. Other countries at the border were eyeing him covetously, so everything had to be done with caution.
He tried to avoid the issue, but the two groups kept arguing with each other.
The old emperor had a headache.
At this moment, there was a faint snoring sound.
【whoosh whoosh】
【call】
Many court officials who were watching the fight pricked up their ears. Wow! At a time like this, someone actually dared to doze off!
They want to see who is so bold.
【Hoohoo. Gu. Huh.】
Oh, it’s Mr. Su from the Ministry of Revenue. That’s all right.
The old emperor's face turned black. I'm getting a headache listening to you here, but you're snoring so sweetly down there.
"That's enough! What a disgrace to keep making so much noise!"
When the emperor got angry, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and the whole hall felt the emperor's pressure.
Su Juan woke up from her sweet dream and was shocked. [Did it thunder just now? ]
【It gave me a big shock! 】
The colleagues around her had a thin layer of cold sweat on their backs.
The strange silence immediately made Su Juan smell something unusual. She quietly asked Scholar Yuan from the Hanlin Academy in front of her, "Brother Yuan, what happened just now?"
Scholar Yuan was really worried about her. "It's about the Ministry of Justice. The Right Censor-in-Chief has just submitted a memorial, requesting an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Justice. Several other officials believe that the rectification of the Ministry of Justice should not be rushed, and they are making a fuss right now."
Su Juan suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be for those good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Justice."
Good-for-nothing: You are so noble! You are amazing!
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice spoke first, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice has been faced with a lot of major cases lately. If things continue like this, it will be very difficult for the Ministry of Justice to handle its affairs. I hope Your Majesty will be considerate of me and others."
The Minister of the Imperial Household stepped forward to retort, "What do you mean by that, Lord Minister? Has Your Majesty never been sympathetic to your colleagues in the Ministry of Justice before?"
"If there really is a problem with the Ministry of Justice, it would be better to investigate it as soon as possible. Or is it that the Minister of Justice is dissuading us from doing so out of selfish motives?"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice's haste to speak gave people an opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes in his words.
Su Juan yawned, "Why are you so anxious, Minister of the Imperial Household Department? If they really want to revamp the Ministry of Justice, you will be the first one to be investigated."
The Minister of the Imperial Household remained calm and sneered, "I am not from the Ministry of Justice, what can I investigate?"
"Your Majesty, I think if there is a problem with the Ministry of Justice, we must investigate it."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes, and many people who were watching the show pricked up their ears. It had been a long time since Yuanwailang had spoken.
[This Minister of the Imperial Household must have forgotten that two years ago, his son beat the wealthy merchant Lu Jiazi to a cripple in order to snatch a singing girl, but later he got married and had children safely. The singing girl was even settled in a house outside the city, and this year he even gave him a grandson.]
Everyone was surprised. They had heard something about this matter, but they had clearly heard that the Lu family member became disabled because he accidentally jumped from the attic. Many people were still suspicious, but after all, the case was decided by the Dali Temple and passed the Ministry of Justice, so the Lu family had no reason to pursue it further.
But it turned out that it was really the son of the Minister of the Imperial Household who beat someone up and crippled the son. How could he still have the nerve to marry and have children!
The Minister of the Imperial Household was so hurt by Su Juan's words that his face turned pale. He had actually forgotten about this matter.
Everyone shook their heads. Not only did the Minister of the Imperial Household not teach his own son well, he also harmed other people's sons.
As to why his son was safe and sound, anyone with a common sense would figure it out. It was really like the top beam was crooked and the bottom beam was crooked.
[I have a complicated relationship with the Ministry of Justice, and now I am eager to agree to request an imperial decree to rectify the Ministry of Justice. I am not afraid of getting myself into trouble. ]
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the Minister of the Imperial Household
So, everyone heard that the Minister of the Imperial Household, who had just urged the Ministry of Justice to rectify its affairs, suddenly changed his words and said, "However, the Ministry of Justice has already conducted a thorough investigation a few days ago, and now there is a lot of work to be done. Therefore, I think that what the Minister of the Ministry of Justice said is not unreasonable."
The Minister of the Imperial Household had an air of righteousness and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
Everyone was amazed!
As expected of him, he is the Minister of the Imperial Household, a third-rank official in the current dynasty. His ability to change his attitude according to the situation is amazing.
Su Juan was surprised: [Which side does the Minister of the Imperial Household stand on? I thought he was going to risk his son and his own future to make a statement, but now he has turned around and joined the other side! ? ]
The Minister of War was angry that he did not fight back, saying that this Minister of the Imperial Household was really useless!
They also hoped to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Justice and take the opportunity to bring down the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice so as to support someone else to take the position, still keep control of the Ministry of Justice and assist His Royal Highness the King of Han.
The Minister of the Imperial Household cursed: Is it that I don’t want to show my ability? If you have the ability, come and try?
If he doesn't admit defeat now, who knows what kind of nonsense will come out of Su Juan's mouth later. He doesn't want to end up like Lou Shiye.
Su Juan was suspicious, [Could it be that someone has caught him with something? ]
She glanced at the old emperor above her and muttered to herself, "This Minister of the Imperial Household is the King of Han's man."
King Han coughed a few times, trying to cover up Su Juan's voice. What was Su Juan talking about?
[He changed his attitude now, it must be because someone threatened him, but who can threaten him?]
The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the courtiers below. It was a good thing that Su Juan spoke up. It could save a lot of trouble and teach the court a lesson. It could teach the court a lesson about those old stubborn people who took advantage of the situation.
The court officials were all grinning, thinking that the Minister of the Imperial Household was caught with something bad!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Juan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I know!"
Everyone was confused: What do you know?
Old Emperor:?
[It must be that the old emperor didn't want to investigate the Ministry of Justice. He just gave him a warning look, indicating that he knew all about his little shit. That's why the Minister of the Imperial Household Department didn't dare to say anything! ]
All the ministers: “.”
The old emperor: “.”
Bullshit!
It’s none of my business!
You always put the blame on other people for your own faults. As the emperor, is my job to put the blame on you and take the blame for you?
Old Emperor: I am so fed up with this day! Please vote for me and calm down.
