Ming politicians

() Zhou Kang came to Jiangning County, and specially visited the county government, which was beyond Su Tiancheng's expectation.

Ordinarily, Zhou Shunqing's matter had already made Zhou Yanru hate him very much, at least he didn't care about Zhou Yanru's face, but Zhou Kang came to visit him, which was too unreasonable.

Wu Weiye was still on patrol in Nanzhili, and he was about to return to the stables in late October. At this time, Zhou Kang came to Jiangning County. Could it be that there was something important.

Zhou Shunqing's imperial decree of beheading and standing has already come down. Before Wu Weiye leaves Nanzhili, it will be implemented. Counting it, it will take less than ten days.This should be the most painful time for Zhou Yanru. Seeing his own nephew being beheaded immediately, but unable to rescue him, he endured both mental and physical torture.

Zhou Kang is Zhou Yanru's housekeeper, even a staff member.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for important ministers above the third rank of the imperial court to have public aides, especially cabinet ministers, their housekeepers, including some guests in the mansion, are the actual aides. Relationships, extraordinary, and definitely not simple-minded.

After all, Zhou Kang's status is different. No matter how long Zhou Yanru can serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet, in Su Tiancheng's view, Zhou Yanru is still good, and he has not played any nonsense.

Because he is far away from the stables, he is not very clear about many things that happened in the court, but after traveling for almost half a year, his previous historical cognition is gradually collapsing. For example, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are both recognized as Jian. It's a pity that I haven't felt it yet.Instead, hundreds of years later.The authority and scheming of some leading cadres are much stronger.

Still in Santang, this is a very strange meeting.

Zhou Kang's attitude changed a lot, his face was no longer reserved, it was completely different from what he saw at the inn for the first time, and he could faintly detect sadness and decadence.This may also be because Zhou Shunqing's matter stimulated him. As the housekeeper of Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with such a big matter, and the blow was conceivable.

"Your Majesty came here to visit Mr. Su, it's a bit abrupt. Please don't think too much, Mr. Su. The master asked me to bring a letter, please read it. If you have any thoughts and opinions, if it is convenient, please let me know. "

Zhou Kang put the letter on the desk.With piercing eyes, he looked at Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng opened the letter unhurriedly, and read it slowly.

After reading the letter, the color of Su Tiancheng's face did not change much.

contents of the letter.In fact, it is not simple, Zhou Yanru specifically mentioned the matter of Zhou Shunqing.After some explanations, I really didn't know about Zhou Shunqing's evil deeds. I had some protection in the past, but I didn't expect that Zhou Shunqing would cause such a big incident. He was domineering, lawless, and deserved to die. Zhou Shunqing was sentenced this time. It was he who proposed it to the emperor on his own initiative, and suggested that the imperial decree and the residence report should be issued for all officials to read.

Zhou Yanru also proposed that confiscating all the property of Zhou Shunqing's Fubian family would be regarded as atonement.In the letter, he entrusted Jiangning county government to help handle this matter.

After all, Zhou Yanru is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he wrote such a letter with such a respectful tone, there is something in it.

Su Tiancheng thought of a lot, but there was one thing he admired. If he got to the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, no matter how difficult he encountered, he might not necessarily write such a letter to a sixth-rank magistrate.

As for the matter of replying, he has also decided, but he will only say it verbally and will not reply.

"Steward Zhou, I've already read the letter. I don't know if Mr. Zhou has any orders. If you need to be lowered to do something, Steward Zhou can just say it."

"No, the master has ordered that if Mr. Su has any different opinions, after speaking out, I will be responsible for bringing them back. This time, the master did not expect Zhou Shunqing's case at all."

"As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Zhou has a lot of time to deal with, so it is normal that he has no time to pay attention to these things. It's just that some officials below should have reported it earlier, so that it won't cause the current situation."

"Master Su is right. I have already been to Yixing. The master has been away from his hometown for almost twenty years. He has never had the opportunity to pay attention to the affairs of his hometown, and he has not been able to take care of his family and Zhou Shunqing. This is a great lesson, when I left the stable, the master was heartbroken and entrusted me, after returning to my hometown, I must ask the children in my hometown to behave in a responsible manner and do things in a responsible manner.”

"Master Zhou's self-discipline, the subordinates admire very much. I will definitely handle the matters mentioned in the letter in time. I don't know if Steward Zhou has other matters."

Zhou Kang hesitated a little.

"When I came down to Jiangning County, I thought about whether I could meet Zhou Shunqing. This is just my subordinate's intention, and it has nothing to do with others. This is not in accordance with the rules. If Mr. Su feels embarrassed, forget it."

"It's nothing embarrassing. Zhou Shunqing is temporarily being held in the county prison. I'll arrange for Liu Dianshi to take Steward Zhou to see Zhou Shunqing."

Liu Zhongji took Zhou Kang directly to the county government prison in front of him.

Of course, Su Tiancheng had his own analysis. Zhou Yanru's writing of this letter meant that his position as chief assistant in the cabinet had been seriously shaken, and he might be dismissed at some point.

The meaning expressed in the letter, not to mention whether it has a deeper meaning, but the meaning of protecting the family is very clear. There is an example of Kuang Siming before. Besides, Zhou Shunqing is not charged with treason after all, so he will not implicate his family Yes, it is not easy for Zhou Yanru to make such a decision.

Soon, Zhou Kang came back with a very bad face.

"Master Su, I have already met Zhou Shunqing, I have nothing else to do, so I will leave now."

"Steward Zhou, walk slowly, why don't you leave after having dinner at the county government office."

"Thank you Master Su for your kindness. It's been a while since I came out. I'd better go back to the stables as soon as possible."

After Zhou Kang left, Su Tiancheng thought for a while, and immediately went to the prison of the county government.

Inside the prison, there was indeed something unusual.

Zhou Shunqing was yelling, swearing non-stop, and the sound was transmitted far away, the cell boss and the jailer ignored him, Zhou Shunqing was originally detained in a separate cell, and in a few days, his head would fall to the ground , There is not much time for such clamor.

Seeing Su Tiancheng approaching, Zhou Shunqing's eyes showed a look of resentment.

"Su Tiancheng, I've been beheaded. I'm waiting for you below. You will die..."

The cell boss was going to stop him, Su Tiancheng raised his hand to signal for Zhou Shunqing to continue talking.

"There is no good thing in Nanzhili, and there is no good thing in Yingtianfu. I did this before, but it was just playing with a few women, and it was just occupying some property. What a big deal. Some people don't do it in front of me. I said it to my face, isn't this a big deal, hmph, thinking about using Lao Tzu's head to get promoted and get rich, wishful thinking..."

Su Tiancheng asked the cell boss in a low voice, just now Steward Zhou came to the prison and said something to Zhou Shunqing, the cell boss reported in a low voice, saying that Steward Zhou didn't say anything, but just asked Zhou Shunqing to go all the way, and when he was reincarnated in the next life, he would think Be a good person.

Zhou Shunqing was still cursing, and at the end of the cursing, he began to cry, even his own parents, as well as Zhou Yanru, were scolded by him over and over again.

Su Tiancheng sighed softly, he didn't have the heart to say what he wanted to say earlier.

"Zhou Shunqing, you have complained about everyone, but you didn't mention yourself. When you are about to die, you still don't know how to repent. It seems that you died unjustly. With your virtue, you can't escape death anywhere. .”

Zhou Shunqing raised his head abruptly, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and his expression seemed a little crazy.

"Hey, if you die, you will die, once it's over..."

After instructing the prison chief to feed Zhou Shunqing some good food for the next few days and let him drink, Su Tiancheng left. Zhou Shunqing was originally a dude, spoiled since he was a child, and never suffered. , Although he has done so many things that both people and gods are angry with, he still feels that it is not that great.

Maybe death is really a kind of relief, freeing Zhou Shunqing himself, and also lightening Zhou Yanru's burden. <The sound of the screen wakes me up.

He came to the third hall, Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze, Liu Zhongji, Su Jun and others were all waiting here.

"My lord, Zhou Shunqing committed suicide in fear of crime."

Su Tiancheng immediately became sober, and then drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. The emperor issued an imperial decree that Zhou Shunqing needed to be tied up in the execution ground and executed. Unexpectedly, this kid committed suicide in the prison.

"Liu Dianshi, what did the cell boss and the jailer do? Why didn't you keep an eye on Zhou Shunqing? Why did such a big thing happen? The emperor has already ordered Zhou Shunqing to make a decision. How can I explain it now?"

Liu Zhongji lowered his head, he didn't think about it either.

After a while, Xiong Ziye and Liu Yunqing came in.

Knowing what had happened, everyone frowned. Although Zhou Shunqing was dead, this method of death was quite different from being bound and beheaded in the execution ground. Without the procedure of showing the public, it would affect personal Face is a great protection.

After a while, Xiong Zijian spoke.

"My lord, in such a situation, I feel that it will not be a big deal. After all, Zhou Shunqing is the official of the imperial court and the nephew of Lord Zhou, the chief assistant of the cabinet. If you lose, choose to commit suicide in the prison, which is the best way to save face. This will not only save the face of Mr. Zhou, but also save the face of the court. In detail, it will be beneficial to all parties.” ( To be continued., Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets,
