Chapter 321 Do What You Should Do

The atmosphere in the imperial study was chilling, and when Yang Su arrived, Ling Yuan, Fu Rong and the others were all there, Sun Xie was kneeling on the ground, and the emperor had a cold expression on his face, holding a memorial in his hand.

Ling Yuan and Fu Rongji cast an indescribable look, Yang Su received it, and then bowed and called: "Father."

"You came just in time. You are the governor of the Yamen of Wucheng. The chaos in the city last night caused so many people to be frightened. What do you have to say?"

The emperor seemed to be really angry. He usually had a pleasant face in front of this son, but now his eyes were very sharp, and his tone was also very hard.

"Last night, the accident occurred because the suspects in Shuntian Mansion deliberately set the fire on fire. My minister asked his officials to investigate in time. So far, no one has died, and 110 people were injured, but most of them were minor injuries.

"The most seriously injured person was blown to the left side of his face, leaving a two-inch wound. The rest of the more than ten people who were seriously injured were all in the hands, feet and torso, and did not cause any disabilities. People from the Wucheng Yamen also called for medical treatment on the spot. Apply medicine."

Yang Su was puzzled. Although the accident last night was a big one, civilian gunpowder is not very powerful, and the amount of gunpowder used to make fireworks is still very small, so this kind of accident is not a big deal, and the injuries are definitely within the controllable range. It is unreasonable for the case to make the emperor so angry.

After listening, the emperor looked at Sun Xie: "Then is there any whereabouts of the perpetrator?"

"Returning to the emperor, it is only locked that he should be a person in Yanjing City, and he may have background influence. At present, the minister is still strictly investigating."

Sun Xie kowtowed and said.

Yang Su was sure that the emperor blamed Sun Xie for what happened last night, but the emperor's two reprimands were not a big deal, and this pleading might have offended him, so he didn't say anything more.

But the emperor said: "Shuntian Mansion, you don't need to palm it anymore, there is a vacancy for a young minister in Dali Temple, you go and take it."

Yang Su and Sun Xie were startled at the same time.

"Father, this matter is not directly at fault of Mr. Sun. Shuntian Mansion has never had any omissions under Mr. Sun's management in these years. Please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Ling Yuan and Fu Rong also interceded.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture is an official of the Yamen, and he ranks in the third grade, but the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the fourth grade, and he is still in the lower rank. How can he be compared with the governor of Shuntian Prefecture?

Isn't it surprising that the emperor demoted a capable official because of this incident?
"The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. If you don't do your best, you will also be fined for three months!"

The emperor picked up the notes on the case and told Yang Su.

Yang Su felt very useless, he and Sun Xie were both reprimanded for such a small matter, several people outside the palace gate stood speechless for a moment, after thinking about it, he said: "I'll go and ask what's going on."

After speaking, he turned back to the study.

The emperor was still sitting where he was.Yang Su stepped forward, coughed lightly, and leaned down: "Father."

"What's the matter?" The emperor didn't lift his head.

Seeing the tea on the table, Yang Su picked it up and moved it in front of him: "It's a small matter for you to punish your son and minister, can you take it back and spare Sun Xie?"

The emperor frowned and raised his head, and threw several notebooks in front of him: "Early in the morning, there are seven notebooks sent by various ministries, Sun Xie and you!

"At this moment, more than a hundred civilians have been injured in one fell swoop, and if we don't deal with it, how can we appease the hearts of the people? Do you want me to turn a blind eye?

"If I really do this, I'm afraid there will be more than these few who will come back to you!"

Hearing this, Yang Su flipped through the scriptures, and saw that both the six divisions and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had them. Out of the seven scriptures, as many as five accused Sun Xie, and the remaining two belonged to him.

It's reasonable for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to frighten them, after all, many people in it listen to the Gu family, but it doesn't make sense for the Sixth Division, which is a yamen directly managed by the emperor.

He frowned: "These are all fussy. There was indeed a reason for the incident last night, and the fireworks were not blown up by our two yamen, so why are they all blamed on us? Even if someone bombed, Erchen and Sun Xie would not You can argue in court."

"Defense?" The emperor looked at him, "Then tell me first, what case are you investigating with Sun Xie?"

Yang Su paused.

The emperor didn't care about these small things in the past, and because it was about Changying, Yang Su didn't take the initiative to mention it to him.Now he asked, did he say it or not?

"The strange death of Xue Niang in Tang Jian's case happened to be related to an unclaimed money in the early years. Sun Jian is investigating this." He said so.

"A case has not been found out for several months, and you are still confident in causing such a mess, and you still have the nerve to mention it?!" The emperor said, "There are priorities, have you forgotten what you should do? Right now Do you want to do this? It's simply not doing business properly!"

Yang Su was speechless.

"Focus on the Gu family and resolve the checks and balances as soon as possible, that's what you should do!" The emperor stared, "Go."

Yang Su was speechless, and bowed out.

The emperor looked at the crackling bead curtain with complicated eyes.

……

Ling Yuan and the others waited in place, and Sun Xie frowned after listening to Yang Su's words, then looked at the palace in the distance: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your grace."

Fu Rong comforted: "Master Sun, don't be discouraged, the emperor is just angry, and he will definitely miss you again after a while."

Sun Xie nodded, and bowed his hands to the crowd: "I'll go back to the Yamen for rectification first, and leave first."

Yang Su also felt bad.

Now that Sun Xie left Shuntian Mansion, Xue Niang's case could not be further investigated. Who else could have Sun Xie's persistent and strong spirit?

Even if he vacated Xie Peng to do it, it was not as convenient as his position as Shuntian Governor, and it was impossible for him to vacate Xie Peng.

"Why do I think this is too coincidental?" He murmured.

Ling Yuan glanced at him.

It is indeed a bit of a coincidence that Qidao Zhezi entered the palace in less than a day and night since the incident happened last night.

The key is that there are so many papers handed over to the palace, it would be unreasonable for the emperor not to send a decree and reprimand him.With Sun Xie's tune, the people behind Xueniang have to check for themselves.

"Do you have anything important today? If nothing else, let's go back and find a place to sit and call Xu Lan over for a drink."

Thinking of the emperor's reprimand, taking advantage of Fu Rong's presence, Yang Su simply offered an invitation.

Ling Yuan said: "I will accompany you."

Fu Rong put her hands together and raised her lips: "I am the most leisurely, so there is no reason why I shouldn't."

After finalizing the decision, everyone went back to the Yamen to be busy.

……

Chang Ying frowned when she heard that Sun Xie was demoted to Dali Temple as Shaoqing.

The six months since Yang Su returned to Beijing have been smooth sailing. Other than Dong Gong and Gu's family, there are people who want to discourage him, and she can understand that, but it is unnecessary to involve Sun Xie.

Sun Xie, a third-rank official, is in charge of Gyeonggi Civil Affairs. Although he is stern and selfless, it can be seen from the last time she asked him to help change his nationality. Woolen cloth?
