In the early morning, when it was just light, Grand Tutor He Wangchun was already standing outside the Golden Palace with a heavy expression on his face. A group of people from the cabinet followed behind him with the same expression.
Su Heng frowned, Master He's words yesterday still echoing in his ears.
"Prime Minister Su, we will report what we saw and heard today to His Majesty tomorrow, humph!"
Taifu He Wangchun often had complaints about him, but because they were both first-rank ministers, the emperor turned a blind eye to their disputes and never really punished him.
But there were so many victims yesterday, and the one who did this was his own mother, so he cannot escape blame.
We have to find a way to deal with it.
He glanced at Song Lan, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and the father of his second daughter-in-law. However, Song Lan seemed to be avoiding him and did not greet him as he did in the past.
Let’s look at the Minister of War Li Yi, the father of his eldest daughter-in-law. Li Yi is also like Song Lan.
Su Heng's eyes darkened. The two of them were intentionally avoiding suspicion!
"Your Majesty is here!"
Following the announcement from the emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, Emperor Xiao Ye sat on the dragon throne as usual.
After the ministers paid their respects, the emperor asked as usual: "My dear ministers, do you have anything to report today?"
At this time, He Wangchun stepped out with a jade tablet in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Mr. He, please speak!"
He Wangchun was a veteran of three dynasties and was very popular in the court. The emperor also showed him some courtesy.
"Your Majesty, I want to report to Prime Minister Su Heng!"
The emperor's face froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why did Mr. He want to impeach Prime Minister Su?"
He Wangchun told the emperor what happened at the Duke Dingguo's mansion's return banquet yesterday. The emperor frowned and looked at Su Heng coldly.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su allowed his son to commit adultery in broad daylight, and even implicated the children and grandchildren of the lords, causing them to be bedridden at this moment. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."
He Wangchun had a sad expression on his face and was almost in tears.
Meng Jue, the censor of the Inspectorate: "My son also had a fever last night."
Dali Temple Minister Duan Xu: "My son is also still unconscious."
Minister of Revenue Jiang Fu: "My son is also like this."
……
Yesterday, when the victim saw He Wangchun come out to report Su Heng, he also followed He Wangchun to report Su Heng.
The emperor had long been dissatisfied with Su Heng, but he had tolerated him until now because he had worked for him for many years. Moreover, the most important thing he had taught him to do had not made any progress, so it was time to give him a lesson.
"Su Xiang, what's your explanation?"
Su Heng heard the coldness in the emperor's words, and immediately knelt down with his hu tablet in hand, saying, "I know I was wrong. I didn't teach my son well, which led to him doing such a ridiculous thing in the backyard. I am willing to pay each of you 300 taels of silver to treat the young master. I, Su Wenyuan, will personally present it and come to apologize."
Everyone in the court was shocked. They thought that if they could make the emperor disappointed in Su Heng and dampen his enthusiasm, it would be best if he could be dismissed from office. However, they did not expect that Su Heng would be so shameless as to let his son come to apologize in person.
This is equivalent to putting your face in front of everyone for them to step on!
The emperor originally wanted to punish Su Heng by demoting him and hoping he would recover if he behaved well in the future, but he didn't expect that he would be so reckless.
"Since Prime Minister Su has said so, do you have any objections?"
Who dared to say anything at this time? Su Heng was a man who seemed generous but actually held grudges. If he could be demoted, there would be nothing to be afraid of if he could not hold a high position in the future.
But today, in order to keep his official position, he actually threw his face into the public eye!
No one said anything else. This punishment seemed light, but it was actually heavier than being demoted.
"Since all of you have no objection, let's do this."
The emperor didn't expect him to be able to do this.
