The wind blowing from Hangzhou gathered over Jinling, and a storm was forming.

When a storm breaks through the clouds, it pours downpours.

No one knows how long the storm will last or how wide it will spread.

The sky was gloomy and the sun could not be seen. The gate of Jinling City was wide open. Sun Jie walked into the gate slowly in a car.

On both sides of the city gate were officials standing upright, watching Sun Jie leave.

The team was solemn and orderly, without any sound.

The palace has been officially completed, and Sun Jie's team stopped on the square outside the palace.

On the wide square, tall flagpoles are erected, and the national flag is fluttering in the wind.

After getting out of the car and looking at the huge square, Sun Jie didn't say a word.

Sun Jie's father-in-law, Sun Chuwen, brought all the civil and military officials who stayed behind, and came to Sun Jie.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been completely completed. I don't know when His Majesty will enter!"

Sun Chuwen said in a low voice.

He is Sun Jie's father-in-law, and has witnessed Sun Jie's step-by-step progress from being weak to today.

He knew Sun Jie's temper, and also knew Sun Jie's strength.

To some extent, he is the leader of the officials from Shaanxi, but many years ago, he ceased to be in charge.

If, back then, he wanted to learn from Li Shanchang or Hu Weiyong in history, then at this time, he would be a figure with power.

But he didn't do this. For him, he is the father of the current empress and the grandfather of the present prince. In addition, he has invested in Sun Jie very early and his status is already detached. There is no need to do this.

The higher the status, the worse the fall.A high position is nothing, and Ji Liu bravely retires to be her husband.

Most of the officials standing behind were from Shaanxi. They were respectful and could not tell anything.

Sun Jie's eyes swept over them one by one. None of these officials knew what was going on in their hearts, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Just like the previous Cui Xinghe, back then, he was an aspiring young man, who would have thought that this would end like this in the end.

"Your Majesty, it's time to move into the palace!"

Sun Chuwen said again.

Sun Jie's eyes finally stopped on him, "It's nothing important to live in the palace. This Great Qin Dynasty was brought down by me one by one. Even if there is no palace in front of me, even if I live in a thatched cottage , and no one said anything.

Compared with what I want to talk about today, staying in the palace is just a dispensable thing! "

Sun Jie turned around, looked at the officials behind him, and said in a louder voice, "I think you already know what happened, and where I went before? I thought that the Great Qin Dynasty was much better than the Great Ming Dynasty." I can't guarantee that all officials are as clean as water, but I can also guarantee that the officials who came out of Shaanxi with me are all capable and clean people.

But what?What is the result?Right now, I just feel my face burning and hurting.I never expected that there would be such a person in our team.

You are the first to follow me. You have followed me since I first started. I thought your willpower was strong, but looking at it now, this is a joke!
Back then, one of the students I valued the most, one of the courtiers I valued the most, has betrayed me now, who else can I trust?Tell me, who can I trust now? ! "

Sun Jie's last words were almost shouted out.

All the courtiers in front of them kept their mouths tightly shut and said nothing.

Among them, there were naturally those who wanted to intercede with Cui Xinghe, but in the current situation, they did not dare to speak out at the beginning.

Everyone fell into silence, and Sun Jie's eyes swept over them one by one.

Around the square outside the palace, people gathered here.

Many officials, leading the soldiers, wanted to expel these onlookers.

But such behavior was stopped by Sun Jie.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng who was leading the guards to disperse the people, Sun Jie shouted: "Come back, now that the court has lost such a big man, what face does it have to disperse the people? Let you people remember today, what does it feel like to lose face? Let you know how it feels to be ridiculed by the people when you lose face."

Sun Jie walked back and forth in front of these officials, cursing with hatred.

"The salary of the former Ming Dynasty was low, but my salary is not low, right? In addition to the basic salary, there are also performance, full attendance, overtime working hours, post subsidies, high temperature subsidies and other salaries. In addition to these, I also provide you. Housing, food subsidies, etc. The monthly salary is enough for a family of five to live a comfortable and worry-free life whether in Chang'an or Jinling. But how do you treat me?

I don't care, I'm not hungry or tired, but what about those common people?Don't you know how the former Ming was made?Don't you know why Li Zicheng wanted to oppose him?

For what reason did I raise an anti-flag in Shaanxi and raise troops to rebel?Don't tell me, I'm doing justice for the sky, it's all bullshit.

Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?Most of you officials have graduated from Daqin University. As new officials, your quality and ability are better than those of the former Ming officials. However, have you done your best? "

Sun Jie's voice became louder and louder, constantly echoing in the square.

The officials onlookers watched this scene and started discussing it one after another.

Chongzhen took his sons among the crowd and looked this way.

After hearing Sun Jie's voice, his face was full of emotion.

"I didn't expect him to dare to say that. The emperor is high above, how can he admit his mistake? If he admits his mistake, isn't he saying that the emperor is also a human being, and the emperor's authority is nothing special. This is the way to create chaos!"

Chongzhen shook his head.

This is very one-sided. Authority is not obtained by a few words, but by force and military exploits. If a few words can establish authority or destroy authority, then this emperor is not qualified.

Time passed quietly, and Sun Jie scolded the officials there for the whole afternoon.

This is the first time since the founding of the country. These officials have never experienced this before.

When Sun Chuwen returned home, he hugged his leg and rubbed it non-stop.

I am already old, plus I have hidden injuries, and I have been standing for so long, and the weather is so cold, it is inevitable that my legs will hurt.

Sitting in the conservatory at home, roasting the fire.

Unknowingly, frost fell outside, and a thick layer was stained on the steps.

Footsteps came from outside, and the housekeeper walked into the conservatory.

"My lord, the crown prince is here!"

The butler stood at the door and said.

"Hurry up, help me up!"

Sun Chuwen hurriedly stood up and walked outside.

He is Sun Wenyue's grandfather, but he is even more of a courtier.

As the future emperor, Sun Wenyue still has to abide by the rules between the monarch and his ministers.

In fact, after Sun Jie ascended the throne, he simplified all kinds of etiquette, as simple as possible.

Otherwise, when the crown prince comes in person, the ostentation will be unbelievable.

Before Sun Chuwen walked out of the gate, Sun Wenyue walked over.

"Grandpa stop, it's cold outside, go in and talk!"

Sun Wenyue hurriedly supported Sun Chuwen, and walked into the greenhouse again.

"Grandpa, how are you doing recently!"

After Sun Wenyue sat down, he looked at Sun Chuwen who was sitting opposite him, and said.

"It's an old bone, it's just like this in this life!"

Sun Chuwen said with a face of indifference, his words were full of casualness and casualness.

He doesn't seem to care about today's world affairs, and he doesn't want to get involved.

Sun Wenyue picked up the tea on the table next to him and sipped it.

"Actually, I didn't want to come here today, but my father asked me to come here.

The main reason is to let me come over to see how your body is doing. You have been standing outside for such a long time today, and your legs and feet are inconvenient, so I can see if there is anything wrong. "

Sun Wenyue said.

Sun Chuwen patted his thigh and said with a smile: "I am an old bone, if I can do this in this life, it is my ancestral grave.

There is nothing wrong with my body and bones. After returning home, His Highness told His Majesty that I can live for another ten years. "

Sun Wenyue put down the teacup in his hand, "Now is the time of peace and prosperity, it is impossible to live more than ten years, at least another twenty years.

Wait until the real prosperous age comes, wait until the world is conquered, wait until the world is peaceful, then will be the real prosperous age. "

Sun Wenyue stayed here for about two hours. It was very late outside, so he walked into the night.

Almost another hour later, a man wrapped in a black robe quietly came to the back door of Sun Chuwen's house.

This person is none other than Cui Xinghe's father-in-law, Sun Jiadi.

He is the younger brother of Sun Chuwen's family. Although he is not of the direct bloodline, he is also related to him, so he has more or less blood ties.

The reason why he didn't dare to go through the gate was because he was afraid of being discovered.

His current identity is very sensitive. His son-in-law Cui Xinghe committed a big taboo, and now he has been arrested by Sun Jie. He doesn't know if this matter will affect him, and he doesn't know if Sun Jie will be furious. , Restoring the penalty of the previous Zhu Yuanzhang period.

Once he becomes like that, there is no way for him to survive, including those in his family, I am afraid there will be no good end.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be too involved, so he wanted to see if there was any way to get through this difficulty.

Sun Chuwen is Sun Jie's father-in-law, and he wanted to see if he could intercede with Sun Jie through Sun Chuwen.

The knock on the door kept ringing in the dark night, and after about 10 minutes, a tired voice came from outside.

"Huh?! Who is it?"

A servant rubbed his eyes and opened the back door.

Sun Jiadi went straight in.

"It turned out to be Master Sun, why did you go through the back door in the middle of the night?" The servant looked at Sun Jiadi in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

Sun Jiadi said anxiously: "Don't say anything now, quickly take me to see your master, I have something important to discuss, I have something important to talk to him, there can be no delay, you quickly take me go."

This servant doesn't have much status in the Sun family, so he doesn't know the current situation outside, and doesn't know that Cui Xinghe committed a crime.

Although I was curious why Sun Jiadi went through the back door, but looking at him in such a hurry, he hurriedly took him to find Sun Chuwen.

Just as Sun Chuwen lit a stick of dry tobacco, he took two puffs of it, and Sun Jiadi walked in directly from the outside.

I saw him kneeling in front of Sun Chuwen with a plop, grabbing the ground with his head, tears on his face, and shouting in a distressed voice: "Brother, you must save me, if you don't save me, then my family will die." It’s really over, big brother, help me.”

His head hit the ground heavily, his voice full of grief.

Sun Chuwen knocked the cigarette pot in his hand on the corner of the table next to him, and then put it on the table.

Looking at Sun Jiadi in front of him, he certainly knew what was going on.

Speaking of the in-law relationship between Sun Jiadi and Cui Xinghe, Sun Chuwen was also a matchmaker.

Now that Cui Xinghe has a problem, no one knows if he will be implicated.

If you look at it according to the rules of the former Ming Dynasty, it will definitely involve his family.

Sun Chuwen asked, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, and we brothers will stop talking about these outrageous things."

But Sun Jiadi didn't have any idea of ​​getting up, he knelt on the ground and crawled forward step by step.

When she came in front of Sun Chuwen, she hugged his thigh directly.

"Brother, you can't just ignore me, my life and the lives of my whole family are all in your hands.

If you ignore me, we really have only a dead end. "

Sun Jiayi cried out in grief while wiping his tears and snot on Sun Chuwen's thigh.

"It doesn't make sense for you to be so worried now, you have to know that if you hadn't committed crimes with Cui Xinghe, then His Majesty would definitely not take any action against you.

Your Majesty is still very famous, you don't need to worry about these things. "Sun Chuwen said.

"Is there really no problem with this? I heard people say that all the officials in a province in Zhejiang were wiped out by His Majesty. So many people, all because of Cui Xinghe's bad luck, can they get rid of me? I'm his old man." man!"

Sun Jiadi was obviously still worried, for fear that Sun Jie would arrest him.

"Just tell me if you've been with him!" Sun Chuwen questioned.

Sun Jiadi anxiously explained: "No, I'm sure of this. Brother, you also know that I'm very timid and never dare to do these things. I never knew Cui Xinghe was this kind of person."

"That's right, if you had an affair with Cui Xinghe, His Majesty would have arrested you long ago, so why wait until now?!" Sun Chuwen explained.

Sun Jiadi is an honest man. Although he is related to Sun Jie, he has always been honest and responsible, and has never done anything illegal.

Sun Jie also asked Chen Hu to investigate him. His family background is very clean and has no connection with Cui Xinghe.

In fact, Cui Xinghe gave Sun Jiadi many gifts before.

If the gift was valuable, he would sell it and donate it; if it was not valuable, he would accept it.

From the beginning to the end, everything was done according to their duties, and nothing happened.

Perhaps it was because Sun Jie frightened him when he punished Qin and Shang.
