Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth important state affairs
Shu Liangcai listened to his wife's words and had a good night's rest without any distracting thoughts. Now he felt refreshed and sat on the carriage on the way to the palace with his eyes closed to relax.
Unfortunately, when we arrived near the palace, we heard voices coming from far away. When I opened the curtain and looked outside, I saw a group of people gathered around the entrance of the palace. They were gathered in small and small groups. You didn’t have to think about it to know what they were talking about.
.
Fortunately, his coachman knew how to "avoid suspicion" and stopped the carriage to the side. Shu Liang got out of the carriage and when he looked up, he saw two ministers standing not far away.
The official positions of those two were not small. As a third-rank official in the capital, I would go over to pay tribute to them. The next second, I saw Shu Liangcai holding his tube and leaving Bai, and walked towards the two ministers.
.
Li Ru, the Minister of Rites, and Zhu Yu, the Minister of Hubu, were standing together, paying attention to the surrounding movements. When they saw Shu Liangcai walking towards them, they waved to him gently, exempting him from politeness.
"We are all officials in the same court, so we don't need to be so polite when we meet in private," Li Ru said while looking at Shu Liangcai's face. He changed the subject and added, "Looking at the radiant appearance of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin,
You must have had a great rest last night!"
Although this was not stated explicitly, the meaning was clearly expressed.
Shu Liangcai worked in Jingzhao Mansion, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words. He smiled at Li Ru and Zhu Yu, moved closer to them, and said in a low voice: "After all, those are other people's housework.
No matter how powerful I am as a little Jingzhao governor, I can’t solve such a case!"
"Besides, isn't it true that no one went to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and express grievances, and to go to court to resolve the case? The most important thing now is not the emperor's birthday in two months, but also the congratulations from envoys from surrounding countries?
"
When Li Ru and Zhu Yu heard this, they nodded seriously and said, "Master Shu is right. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. He didn't understand it himself, so how can he let Master Shu do it? Compared with
Prime Minister Su’s household affairs are naturally important state affairs!”
"Seeing that it's already this time, that person hasn't appeared yet. I guess he won't be able to come today, so why don't we go to the palace first, so as not to have to rush for time later."
After finishing his words, Shu Liangcai nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, there is still a long way from here to the Morning Hall. I already have old arms and legs, so I don't want to mess around!"
With the three of them taking the lead, other officials no longer lingered at the palace gate, and all entered the palace to prepare for court.
…
Jiang Hang had already arrived at the palace gate, but when he saw so many people at the gate and heard that they were talking about his master, he hid in the dark for a while.
At this time, everyone had almost gone in, and then he appeared. He pretended to be in a hurry, gathered all his internal strength, ran panting to the palace gate, and presented the leave letter.
After the guards at the door checked his identity, they handed the leave letter to the palace and sent Jiang Hang away.
In the morning hall, all civil and military officials stood neatly. Emperor Xiaoxian sat on the dragon chair, his eyes falling on the empty seat in the first row below.
The commotion caused by Su Wan was so big that as an emperor, he couldn't even think about it. After staying up all night, he finally sent someone to call Zhan Wenxuan into the palace this morning. After asking about the whole story, Emperor Xiaoxian felt very sad.
Not the taste.
There is a reason why Su Wan is like this. Both Su Liangji and himself are thinking about their own interests, so Su Wan is forced to become a "sacrifice".
He should have thought of this when she brought the evidence of Su Liangji's crime to the palace and led people to make a big fuss in the Imperial Study Room. But now it was too late to say anything. What should have happened and what should not have happened had already been exceeded.
his expectations.
As an emperor, he had no way to cure Su Wan, which really gave him a severe headache!
Wan Cheng looked at Emperor Xiaoxian sitting on the dragon throne and saw that he looked distracted. He could only sigh softly in his heart. He went over and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, all the ministers are waiting.
, it’s time to go to court in the morning.”
Emperor Xiaoxian came back to his senses, winked at Wan Cheng, and glanced in the direction of Zhan Wenxuan. Wan Cheng naturally understood the meaning, nodded, stood up straight, and sang loudly: "
When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat——"
