Chapter 103 Tearing Apart the Tacit Understanding Among Civil Officials
"My esteemed ministers, do any of you have any objections?" Zhao Zhen asked solemnly, scanning the assembled officials below the throne.
The hall was deathly silent; no one dared to make a sound, as if even breathing was being suppressed.
Zhao Zhen pursed his lips, sighed helplessly, and then slowly said, "Alas! I am also heartbroken over Han Qi's matter... Since that is the case, then let us do as my ministers have suggested and announce it to the world. In addition, these 30-odd ministers who spoke frankly and offered their advice will have their names written into the edict so that the world may remember them. Alright, court is adjourned; I need some peace and quiet." After saying this, he rose and left the court.
Upon hearing Emperor Renzong's words, the ministers below, led by the one in purple robes, exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing confusion and worry. To have their names written into the edict and proclaimed to the world? What did this mean? One thing was certain: it was certainly not a good thing. The minister in purple robes sighed heavily, understanding that the tacit understanding among the previously united civil officials had been shattered.
Sheng Hong, looking completely bewildered, followed the other officials out of the hall. He was utterly confused by what had happened in the hall that day. He couldn't help but ask a colleague beside him in a low voice, "Sir, I have only recently been promoted from Yangzhou to the capital, and today is my first day in court. I know nothing about the Han Qi incident. Could you please tell me something?"
The minister in red, seeing that no one was around, cautiously spoke up: "Yesterday, Lord Han Qi, accompanied by six censors, went to court intending to impeach Viscount Jin Shuai for his involvement in the commercial street and workshop district. However, Viscount Jin Shuai turned the tables and impeached Han Qi, forcing him to confess in court. This frightened the six censors so much that they resigned and were banned from officialdom forever. Viscount Jin Shuai is a legendary figure. As a newcomer, you must not provoke him. He is a favorite of His Majesty and the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he still politely replied, "Thank you for informing me, sir."
As Sheng Hong pondered the words of the red-robed minister, he slowly walked forward. Suddenly, he heard someone call out, "Lord Sheng, please wait." He quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a purple-robed minister smilingly approaching him. When the purple-robed minister drew near, Sheng Hong asked humbly, "My lord, do you know me?"
The minister in purple smiled and introduced himself, "Hehe, I am Jin Junqing."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong quickly bowed and said, "Ah, Lord Jin, I am very grateful. I have not yet thanked you for your kindness, but I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday and there are still many things to settle at home."
"Lord Sheng, there's no need for such formalities. I originally intended to visit yesterday, but knowing there were many things to settle in the new residence, I didn't want to bother you. My grandson has taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Sheng family in Yangzhou, and he told me about it as soon as he got home. I was thinking of sending someone to deliver three letters, but then I thought it would be better to arrange for Lord Sheng to come to the capital. That way, it would be more convenient for our two families to visit each other in the future. I hope Lord Sheng won't take offense!"
“Lord Jin, I am overjoyed, how could I blame you? I am also very fond of the young master! He has only been in Tokyo for a short time and has already been granted a title. It is truly an honor for my Sheng family to be of such high status.” Sheng Hong said with a smile.
"Lord Sheng, you flatter me. My grandson and your eldest daughter are truly in love, so there's no need for us to be so formal. I will personally visit the Sheng family to present the betrothal letter on an auspicious day. What do you think, Lord Sheng?" Jin Junqing said with a smile.
