Chapter 89 Shura Field

Sikong Yanjun had a calm expression on his face, "Not only Huapin, but also Shen Shilang of the Ministry of Justice has been called here." As

soon as he finished speaking, Li Heguang's report came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen wants to see you."

Sikong Yan replied indifferently, "Come in."

So, Shen Qingyuan walked into the palace gate under the gaze of the three people and strode towards them, "Your humble servant pays homage to the emperor! Pays homage to Madam Huapin!"

Shen Chaoyan stood by the desk, thinking that her role today was to be a ink-grinding book boy.

However, after seeing Shen Qingyuan, she was a little unsure about the real purpose of Sikong Yan calling her here.

And the moment Shen Qingyuan stepped into the hall, Lu Jinqiang had an ominous premonition in his heart for no reason.

Sikong Yan saw the changes in Lu Jinqiang's expression, "Prime Minister Lu, you must have a lot to say to Lord Shen, right?"

Lu Jinqiang shook his head, "No, although Lord Shen and I are colleagues, we have no personal relationship."

"If there is no personal relationship, the two of us must have had a grudge."

Shen Qingyuan replied, "Your Majesty is joking. I have always been kind to others and have never had bad relations with my colleagues."

"Really?"

Sikong Yan's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, pushed the thick stack of memorials in his hand forward, and said to the two of them, "If that's the case, why did Prime Minister Lu write more than ten memorials in a row to impeach Minister Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chaoyan's hand holding the ink stick could not help but slam.

Oh!

It turns out that the tyrant has laid so much groundwork ahead of him, waiting here!

Calling the people who wrote the memorials and the impeached people over and confronting them face to face, is there anything more exciting than this Shura field?

However, judging from the tyrant's attitude, this Shura field should be mainly aimed at Lu Jinqiang.

If Lu Jinqiang's impersonation of Lu Jinsong can be thoroughly investigated in one fell swoop, it would be a great pleasure for everyone.

At this time, Lu Jinqiang was named by Sikong Huang, but he did not panic. Instead, he pointed the finger at Shen Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, since the Minister of Justice Zhao Ruhai was dismissed, the cases in the Ministry of Justice have accumulated more and more. I think Shen Qingyuan is not capable enough to be the Minister of Justice."

Zhao Ruhai had a good relationship with Lu Jinqiang privately. Usually, if Lu Jinqiang's relatives and friends committed a crime, as long as he said hello to Zhao Ruhai, the Ministry of Justice would release them for various reasons even if they caught Lu's relatives and friends.

However, Shen Qingyuan was now stubborn and ruthless, and his daughter in the harem also blocked Lu Yingying's path to becoming the queen.

Since the father and daughter were so ignorant of each other, Lu Jinqiang would of course take action to get rid of them, not only to eliminate the biggest trouble for himself, but also to help his daughter remove obstacles.

"Who do you think can take on this important task, Lu?"

Lu Jinqiang replied, "The Junior Official of the Dali Temple, He Zhenghu."

He Zhenghu is the second in command of the Dali Temple and also He Yulin's uncle.

If someone from the Lu family was imprisoned, Lu Jinqiang only needed to take care of He Zhenghu and the person would be released intact.

Now that the position of the Minister of Justice has been vacant for a long time, Lu Jinqiang thought of Shen Qingyuan, a stepping stone who was against him everywhere, so while he was pulling him down, he intended to help He Zhenghu take over.

Shen Chaoyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

It was also the first time that she felt so vividly the intricate network of relationships in the court.

[Tianshu, Lu Jinqiang is so eager to get my father, Mao Pu must be involved, right?]

Tianshu: [Yes, Lu Jinqiang's father committed a crime. If your father is not removed from the Ministry of Justice, with your father's iron-blooded hand, he will sooner or later put his father in jail. He also hopes that Lu Yingying will become the empress in the future and bring honor to the Lu family. How can he allow his father to have a stain and ruin the reputation of the Lu family?]

Shen Chaoyan: [Lu Jinqiang seems to be almost fifty years old, right? By this calculation, his father is also half buried in the ground. What else can he do? 】

Heavenly Book: [His father was seventy-seven, and fell in love with a young widow whose husband had died. The young widow was only twenty years old. He wanted to marry the young widow, but the young widow did not want to, so he sent someone to kidnap the young widow. As a result, he played too hard and killed her. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [At the age of seventy-seven, he should have frequent urination, right? An old man of this age should just go for a walk and eat walnuts every day, but he is still lustful! Sure enough, men are only honest when they are hung on the wall! 】

Heavenly Book: [In addition to old man Lu, Lu Jinsong's third sister is also a worry. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [How is she worrying? 】

Heavenly Book: [His third sister Lu Yufen fell in love with someone else's husband, and designed to find someone to humiliate the lady. The lady hanged herself after being humiliated. Afterwards, Lu Yufen married the man as she wished, but she was still not honest after marriage and found another married man. When they were having an affair, they were caught in bed by the man's wife. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [They only like married men and married women. The Lu family is really heavy-handed! However, since they were caught in bed, there must be some rumors outside, right? 】

Tianshu: [No. The bad things that the Lu family has done are too numerous to list. Some people wanted to file a complaint before, but unfortunately the complaints were all withheld by Lu. Those who filed complaints either fell to death while climbing mountains, drowned in water, or were hacked to death by mountain bandits during robbery. Anyway, none of them had a good end. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people if he breaks the law! The Lu family has no respect for the law and bullies others by taking advantage of their power. They are so arrogant! 】 Sikong

Yan listened to these words silently and was furious. Lu Jinqiang was in a high position and used his power for personal gain. Behind the glory of the Lu family, there was no telling how many innocent people's blood was shed. And Lu Jinqiang was still not satisfied and wanted to harm loyal officials. His heart should be punished! "I have also heard of He Zhenghu. Not to mention that he is not qualified enough, his performance in the Dali Temple in the past few years has been mediocre and he is not worthy of being promoted." Seeing that Sikong Yan refuted the person he recommended with just a few words, Lu Jinqiang rolled his eyes and retreated to advance, "Your Majesty knows how to use people. I wonder if you have a suitable candidate in mind?" "Although I don't recognize He Zhenghu's ability, I agree with Lu Xiang about Shen Qing's position. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is indeed not suitable for Shen Qing." Lu Jinqiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and even his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is wise!" Shen Qingyuan looked at Sikong Yan with a guilty look on his face, "During this period, the Ministry of Justice has only handled less than half of the backlog of cases. I have indeed failed the emperor's kindness." "Mr. Shen, there is no need to belittle yourself. After Zhao Ruhai was dismissed, you took charge and solved several major cases. I have decided to promote you to the position of Minister of Justice!"

Lu Jinqiang was stunned. He didn't expect that Sikong Yan not only didn't punish Shen Qingyuan, but wanted to promote him. He immediately stopped him, "Absolutely not! Minister Shen's virtue is not worthy of the position. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Shen Qingyuan heard that the old man 'Lu Jinsong' was deliberately making things difficult for him!

He didn't express his opinion. Did he really think he was a soft persimmon?

Shen Qingyuan turned his head to look at Lu Jinqiang, and asked back word by word, "How is my virtue not worthy of the position? Please tell me clearly, Prime Minister Lu!"
