"These people may be afraid, or they may be ignorant, and some of them may have a lot of bad things in them. They may be arrogant and unruly."
Zhao Jin looked back at Cuijiacun, "But most of these people are not hopeless people."
"The people may be ignorant, but that's why we need to educate them."
…
Zhao Jin told Chu Xiao what Cui Tie had agreed to.
Zhao Jin left everything after that to Chu Xiao.
At the court meeting.
Zhao Jin looked down at the somewhat absent-minded courtiers.
Because of the affairs between the Yao family and the Minister of Justice, the other aristocratic families have been struggling and entangled recently.
If you want to help, you are afraid that you will become the second Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If you don't help, you are not willing to lose to Zhao Jin in this game.
The most worrying thing is that they are afraid that the scientific examination reform is just the beginning, and Zhao Jin will want to wipe out all the wealthy families.
"My lords, do you have anything else to do?" Zhao Jin asked in a deep voice.
No one stood up to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Jin didn't say anything more and glanced at Shou Quan.
Shouquan took a step forward and said sharply: "Retreat from the court!"
Since Zhao Qian fell into a coma, Shou Quan, in addition to serving Zhao Qian and managing the internal affairs of the palace, accompanied Zhao Jin to court.
After the court meeting dispersed, Zhao Xingzhi frowned in displeasure.
"I have really forgotten my responsibilities as an official."
Even though Zhao Jin is competing with aristocratic families, since these people are in their positions, first and foremost, they should naturally handle their own affairs.
But because of the Yao family's affairs, he couldn't even concentrate on going to court.
Zhao Xingzhi said this to Qi Jiahan. All the officials were leaving the hall one after another. He did not lower his voice deliberately, so many officials heard his words.
Some officials' faces were dark and blue, and some were flushed, as if they were ashamed.
However, no one dared to go up and argue with Zhao Xingzhi.
After Zhao Xingzhi broke his arm, Zhao Qian obviously did not love Zhao Xingzhi as much as before.
The civil and military officials were naturally quite indifferent towards Zhao Xingzhi, Prince Ning.
Although Zhao Xingzhi was on good terms with the Qi family and as a prince, he would not be belittled or humiliated, but he was treated as a transparent person.
Who could have expected that one day, Zhao Jin would become the crown prince, and at the same time, Zhao Qian was unwell and unconscious, so that the power of the Zhao Kingdom fell into the hands of Zhao Jin.
Zhao Xingzhi had a good relationship with Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin reused Zhao Xingzhi without hesitation and did not look down on him in the slightest because of his disability.
As a result, naturally no one in the DPRK or Central Government dared to look down upon Zhao Xingzhi.
No matter what they thought after hearing Zhao Xingzhi's words, no one dared to say anything.
Qi Jiahan smiled and said, "You're not afraid of them annoying you."
"Just tell the truth." Zhao Xingzhi glanced at several officials with dark faces and said without any politeness: "I have been seeking my position for a long time, and I always forget why I became an official in the first place."
"I also forgot the ambition I had when I joined the officialdom."
Cen Qianyi and Xu Zihao walked behind Zhao Xingzhi and listened to their words.
Cen Qianyi looked dazed for a while, and his steps slowed down. He didn't come back to his senses until Zhao Xingzhi and Qi Jiahan were far away.
"Prince Ning is right. After so many years, I have forgotten the ambition I had when I first became an official."
…
A few days later, Chu Xiao brought a message to the East Palace.
"Is the trial about to begin?"
Although Zhao Jin has not intervened in this case much, he has always been watched.
He smiled and said, "Get ready, I'll go take a look when the time comes."
"yes."
The next day, Cui Nong's case, which had already spread among the government and the public, officially started trial in the government office.
Because the incident involving the Yao family had been widely spread, the people in Bianzhou City were particularly concerned about this case.
When Zhao Jin came to the government office, there were ordinary people coming and going in front of the government office.
The guard of the East Palace held a saber on his waist and shouted: "His Royal Highness is here!"
A group of guards separated the people and cleared a path.
After Zhao Jin got off the sedan, he raised his eyes and glanced at the people kneeling around him to salute.
"Everyone, get up."
Zhao Jin looked calm and said in a gentle voice: "Are you staying here because of Cui Nong's case?"
Maybe it's because Zhao Jin has done a lot of things for the people in the past, or maybe it's because Zhao Jin looks gentle now.
Some of the more courageous people shouted loudly: "Yes, we can't look directly, so we thought we would stay here to know the news as soon as possible."
Because of these words, Zhao Jin, who had already reached the threshold of the government office, raised his eyebrows.
Cold sweat fell from the forehead of the government guard next to him, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will drive these unruly people away now."
When Starry Eyes glanced over, his eyes were so cold that the last two words of the Yamen Guard's voice were almost inaudible.
"No need," Zhao Jin said with a gentle expression, "this time, the people are allowed to watch the deliberation."
"ah?"
Zhao Jin ignored the stunned Yamen guard and walked in directly.
The guard of the East Palace frowned and scolded, "Didn't you hear what His Highness said? Are you not ready yet? Do you want the people to rush into the court in a swarm?"
At this time, the government officials woke up from a dream and made arrangements in a panic.
When Zhao Jin entered, there were already many people in the courtroom.
Because of the account book matter, Fu Yin was also arrested, so Chu Xiao was the only one sitting at the head of the court.
In addition to the government guards, there are many people below.
The old man of the Cen family, Zhao Xingzhi, Qi Jiahan, Cen Qianyi and Xu Zihao.
Zhao Jin's eyelids twitched, "Why are you all here?"
Chu Xiao came down from above, and everyone saluted Zhao Jin.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Jin waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
He sat down directly on the empty chair below. Chu Xiao had already known that he was coming, and this was a chair specially prepared for him.
"Now that we're all here, let's take a look."
"The prince is right." Zhao Xingzhi responded with a smile.
Suddenly, some noisy sounds were heard. Everyone turned their heads and looked over. They saw a few ropes pulled outside the court, and outside the ropes were ordinary people.
The Yamen Guards and the East Palace Guards were maintaining the discipline of the people to prevent them from being too noisy and affecting the trial.
"This is……"
Chu Xiao looked at this group of people in astonishment.
"When Gu came, the people outside the government office were all very concerned about the case, so Gu allowed them to come in and watch."
"Your Highness," Mr. Cen said with a dark face, "I'm afraid this is not good, right? Let these people in, what if some unruly people disturb the court?"
Zhao Jin smiled slightly, ignored Mr. Cen, and looked up at Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao understood, coughed slightly and said: "This case is about the people, so it would be good for them to come in and take a look."
"Huh." Mr. Cen snorted coldly and said nothing more.
