I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 327 The only remaining cousin from my mother’s family
Weiyang Palace. The young emperor has moved from the Qilin Hall to the Chengming Hall, but because he is still young and has not been in charge of the government, all major government affairs are discussed and decided by the three auxiliary ministers. Only extremely important matters will be asked to take the throne to listen to the discussion. .

There have been quite a few major events inside and outside the government these past few days, and they are all quite difficult.

There is no doubt that the king of Jizhou rebelled and his whole family was executed. But apart from them, there were no less than 100,000 Jizhou troops participating in the rebellion. Considering their small families, it was a large number. If they were all implicated and killed, Jizhou City would be empty of guards and would be easily taken advantage of by the Xiongnu.

In addition, there were very high calls for Yu Ke to be elected. Half of the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government had been friendly with him openly and secretly. Several large boxes of letters were found. If they were really punished severely in accordance with the law, I am afraid that the DPRK and the Central Government would also have to deal with him. If it is half empty, it will also damage the reputation of the new emperor.

The three auxiliary ministers, together with more than a dozen important officials of the court, discussed the matter in Chengming Hall from morning to the time of lighting the lanterns, but there was still no conclusion.

Since the late emperor's grand visit, officials from the DPRK and the Central Government have automatically gathered around Huo Xuan and the other three. Among them, the Great Sima General Huo Xuan is naturally the most powerful, followed by the Left General Anyang Hou Shangguan Jin. In the competition, only Jin Xin still maintained his old style of being neither a friend nor a party.

Yu Jin was precocious and after listening for so long, he already understood their respective positions.

Huo Xuan advocates leniency, Shangguan Jin insists on severe punishment, and Jin Xin is caught in the middle.

Yu Jin let out a long yawn, which attracted the attention of everyone in his Majesty's rank.

Although Huo Xuan was powerful, he was always humble when facing the emperor. He immediately bowed and asked: "Strictly speaking, the case of Yu Ke's rebellion is actually considered a family matter of His Majesty. I have been talking here for a long time, but I forgot It is really the fault of the minister to ask what His Majesty stands for."

As he said this, he lifted up his robe, knelt down, and made an upright salute to Yu Jinduan.

He had done this, and other ministers could only follow suit.

Shangguan Jin's temperament has always been a bit unruly. He only did some superficial things to Yu Jin, but in fact he didn't take him seriously. At this moment, he bowed down reluctantly, his movements were much slower and not standard.

Yu Jin saw this and didn't make any move. He first shouted and then said: "The Tian family has no selfish business. Since the late emperor handed over the power of assisting the government to the ministers, he wanted me to listen more and speak less before taking charge. So as not to miss state affairs."

"It's just that since this matter has been discussed for a long time and there is no conclusion yet, I have some immature ideas here, and I would like to speak out and discuss it with you to see if it is feasible."

"Your Majesty, just say it straight." Huo Xuan bowed again and said, "I am all ears."

"I heard that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and I want to tell the world that there is a general amnesty. What if I don't just continue to deal with it as a rule?"

"Your Majesty is kind and will become a holy king." Huo Xuan and Jin Xin said in unison.

Shangguan Jin frowned: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. The world has a long history of amnesty, and no amnesty will be tolerated in case of rebellion. If this example is made, I am afraid it will be difficult to deter those lawless people who have no king or father. Time will pass. If it grows long, it will definitely make people’s hearts wander and the country will be overturned!”

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could open his mouth, someone rushed forward with a stern look on his face: "Shangguan Jin, how dare you speak in such a threatening manner and curse the fate of the country?"

"Luan He? Look clearly, where is this place and who are you talking to?" Someone also jumped out of Shangguan Jin's camp and glared at Luan He.

Seeing that there was going to be another quarrel, Yu Jin stood up and walked down from the throne. "Yu Ke raised his army out of selfish motives, and the troops in Jizhou had no choice but to rebel. Now that the first culprit has been punished, the rest should also be punished with reduced penalties." He talked eloquently: "As for the people in the court who are friendly with Yu Ke, except for a very few He has been away from being a thief for a long time, and most of them just followed the trend. After he raised his army, many of them had the intention of repenting. It cannot be generalized. "

At such a young age, he said such insightful words in public, everyone in the hall was surprised.

While Shangguan Jin was still in a daze, Huo Xuan had already bowed down again: "Your Majesty is as virtuous as spring and has a benevolent heart as deep as the sea. With this kind of grace, you will surely be able to stabilize both the court and the public. I am hereby ordered to go down and handle this matter." thing."

Yu Jin nodded, then smiled and said: "I have long heard that Huo Qing's legitimate son is upright and perseverant. He was exiled for minor offenses before. This time he is pardoned and returned. Can you bring him to the palace to see you? I can't say that I will return the favor. There is something to rely on.”

"On behalf of the dog, I would like to thank your majesty for your grace!" Huo Xuan's face was full of gratitude, and he knelt down and knelt down.

The two of them were going back and forth, Shangguan Jin wanted to interrupt, but never found a chance.

After finally waiting for Huo Xuan to bow down, he quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, minister."

Yu Jin ignored him: "This matter has been decided, there is no need to mention it again. I am tired, please leave."

Without waiting for Shangguan Jin to respond, he had already entered the inner room. The newly appointed Supervisor Zheng Ling took a step forward and said, "My lords, please come back now."

He instructed the young eunuch to send everyone away, and then returned to the inner room. Looking at the young emperor's increasingly thin body, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Due to the funeral of the late emperor these days, Yu Jin was busy every day, and his spleen and stomach became weaker and weaker. Even though the chefs in the imperial kitchen racked their brains, he could only manage to take two or three mouthfuls. He was already growing tall. Despite his age, he looks really haggard now.

Supervisor Zheng Ling saw this and was extremely worried: "Your Majesty, I will send someone to Qiantang Market right now to find a few cooks. Maybe one of them can be as good as the one in front of me."

Yu Jin was silent for a while, and a pair of smart and clear almond eyes unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes. How could such a delicate and beautiful person, who originally belonged to the palace, suddenly run away and die?

"Send someone to investigate Jin'er's escape," Yu Jin said. The shadow of the candle flickered on his face, making his originally childish face look a little gloomy and uncertain.

Zheng Lingjian opened his eyes in shock: "Your Majesty, you mean that there was some secret behind Jin'er's death?"

"So many things happened that day that it's hard for people to believe that everything was a coincidence." Yu Jing said: "In addition, Ye Ting ordered Zhang Shiyuan, you should also go and check it out."

When the new emperor ascends the throne, many important positions in the palace must be filled by his own people. Although Zhang Shiyuan was a humble man, he had no friendship with Zheng Shanke. If he was punished because of Jin'er, it would be a matter of course.

Inspector Zheng Ling lowered his eyes and said, "I understand."

He turned around and was about to leave when he heard the words behind him again.

"There is one more thing." Yu Ji's voice seemed to be floating from a very far away place, so light that it was almost hard to hear clearly: "My two uncles from my mother's family, and my three adult cousins, have all been awarded the prize. The crime was punished. But I remember that my Tai cousin who was the same age as me was the one who often went to the palace to play with me since he was a child. Should he still be detained in Tingwei's mansion? "
