Chapter 557 Rotten to the Core
Su Ying asked the Minister of Personnel to cross out the names of those people in the booklet.
The Minister of Personnel didn't know what Su Ying was going to do, but he did it anyway.
After drawing it, Su Ying took the booklet and took a look. There were quite a few people in the line, and many of them had already reached high positions. It would be very troublesome to investigate.
Su Ying handed the booklet to Zhou Qing and asked her to copy out all the names that were crossed out.
After copying, Su Ying took Zhou Qing out of the Ministry of Justice.
"My Lady, are we going back to the palace now?"
Su Ying shook her head and said, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhou Qing didn't understand, why did Su Ying go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time?
Su Yulun has not returned to court until now, nor has he gone out or seen anyone. He just stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Upon learning that Su Ying had arrived, Su Yulun was very surprised and his face immediately darkened.
If he had still had some thoughts about Su Ying before, thinking that they could be in the same boat, reality has slapped him in the face time and time again, making him no longer dare to have such fantasies.
Unable to figure out Su Ying's purpose, Su Yulun could only invite her to the main hall first.
Su Ying sat down in the main seat and glanced at Su Yulun. After a series of blows, Su Yulun's spirit and energy were much worse, and he looked ten years older than before.
"I wonder if the Queen has something important that has brought her here suddenly?" Su Yulun asked straight to the point.
"Yes, there is something." Su Ying asked Zhou Qing to take out the list he had just copied.
"Prime Minister, take a look. Do you know the person above?"
Su Yulun took the list and looked at it carefully. He had been in the court for so many years, how could he not know these people.
"What does the queen want to do?"
Su Ying tapped the table with her fingertips, "Oh, it's nothing. These people have been in the court for many years, and they always have some shady things on their hands. Pick them out and give them two choices. One is to report those things to the emperor. The other is to ask them how much of their military merit in the battle with the Qiang people was earned by them. If they don't want to be uprooted, let them kneel down from their own door with a bramble on their backs and kowtow to the grave of the mighty general and confess their guilt."
Su Yulun's hair stood on end after hearing this!
He said that nothing good could come of this unfilial daughter seeking him out, and this was clearly asking him to offend people!
He is the prime minister, but that doesn't mean he can manipulate these noble families at will, especially when there are several aristocratic families with a history of hundreds of years. Why does he look like a fool? !
Su Yulun gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently and I am afraid that I cannot handle this important matter well and disappoint Your Majesty. Please find someone better."
Su Ying was not annoyed, and even said patiently: "Hiss... Look, I forgot about this matter. The Prime Minister is not in good health. But it's okay. I am a good doctor. From today on, I will temporarily stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of the Prime Minister's health until he gets better."
The veins on Su Yulun's forehead were about to burst, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness is the master of the Central Palace, how can you live outside the palace?"
"Isn't this for the Prime Minister's health? The Prime Minister is the pillar of the country, and it is only right for me to make some sacrifices."
"You!" Su Yulun knew that Su Ying did it on purpose. He had also seen her methods. If he really let her stay, he would skin her alive!
After careful consideration, Su Yulun decided that saving his life was the most important thing. "My queen, tell me, what are you going to do?" He had to know the purpose of her actions so that he could make a decision on how to deal with the matter.
"The mighty general died unjustly and was filled with resentment. I couldn't bear to see this and just wanted the person who stole his credit to pay the price. It's not a difficult thing to do."
If it’s not difficult, why don’t you do it yourself!
The mighty general had been dead for so many years. Su Yulun didn't know why Su Ying had to bring up something that happened so long ago, but since she had already stated her request, if he did as she asked, could they discuss the terms?
"Does the Emperor know about this?"
"What do you think?"
The matter is so serious that the emperor could not be unaware of it. Neither Su Ying nor Xiao Jin can be easily manipulated. Su Yulun finally decided to keep his position first.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely live up to your trust."
"At most half a month. I don't care what method you use. I will give you at most half a month. I want to see them kneeling in front of the grave of the mighty general and repenting!"
Half a month!!! Why doesn’t she go to heaven!
“My queen…”
"You can't?"
Middle-aged men hate it most when others say that they are not good enough!
Especially Su Ying's tone was full of contempt.
Su Yulun took a deep breath and said, "Okay, in half a month, I will give your Majesty a satisfactory answer!"
"I believe that the Prime Minister will not let me down."
As soon as Su Ying left, Su Yulun was so angry that he smashed everything on the table. What evil had he done to give birth to such a thing!
Xiao Jin only knew that Su Ying went to the Ministry of Justice, but he did not ask about the details of what happened.
It was not until Su Ying came back at night, and the family of four had dinner and the two children were coaxed to sleep, that Su Ying told them what had happened in the Ministry of Justice.
"I'll let Su Yulun take care of those people. Is that okay with the Emperor?"
At the end of her words, Su Ying raised her head from Xiao Jin's legs and looked at him.
"You actually thought of going to find him?" Let Su Yulun do the offending thing. Others probably wouldn't understand why, but Xiao Jin thought Su Ying was really smart.
"Didn't Su Yulun, the beast, get greedy for the Jingzhou Dam incident? We have to make him pay back his debts slowly."
Xiao Jin's rough fingertips gently stroked Su Ying's face. The touch of his fingertips was slightly cool but very soft.
"In fact, half of those people were promoted by the late emperor." The ones who really wanted the mighty general to die were not those aristocratic families, but the late emperor.
"Back then, the mighty general had a very high prestige in the army, but he was not from the late emperor's faction and was quite close to the late emperor's rival. How could the late emperor not be afraid of such a crouching tiger sitting next to him..."
Su Ying frowned. The late emperor was really rotten to the core. He was an expert at crossing a river and then destroying the bridge.
But Xiao Jin was his son, and he couldn't possibly blame the late emperor when he had been dead for so long. So he could only target the people he had promoted back then.
The rest were matters concerning the court, so Su Ying didn't care about them anymore. Xiao Jin said that he would solve them and she wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.
Now Su Ying just needs to wait until the Ministry of Justice catches Li An and ask him where the fire order came from.
She didn't want the Red Devil's people to have any private dealings with people in the imperial court.
The affairs of the White Lotus Sect had not yet come to an end when Su Ying received a message from Motu.
He brought Queque to the capital.
