The next morning.
The 'Shenxian San Special Rectification' meeting convened and hosted by the Ministry of Justice was successfully held in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice with the full cooperation of invited officials from various departments.
The first session of the meeting is naturally the praise of Guangde.
Probably because of the presence of the General Secretary, the representatives of each yamen were very enthusiastic during this session, posing in various kneeling and licking positions, almost licking their ass.
However, Sun Shaozong keenly found that the clerk sent by the Secretary of Communications and Political Affairs had only touched the ink once from the beginning to the end, obviously pretending to be pretentious and did not record these praises. As a practitioner of the official media, this fellow's Consciousness is a bit low!
After the praises are over, it's finally time to talk... Ah bah, it's time to discuss the main topic.
The recipe for making Shenxian San has been spread everywhere. If you want to cure from the source, you must list several common medicinal materials as contraband—but this option has been strongly opposed by the Imperial Physician’s Office, so it has not yet been established. By the time we started discussing feasibility, it was stillborn.
Since the source cannot be cut off, naturally, we can only find ways to prevent and control it from the smoking population.
However, Xu Liang, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and Sun Shaozong had 'friendly exchanges' for a long time on the specific prevention and control policy and assignment of responsibilities, but they could not reach a consensus.
At first, Xu Liang put on the face of a superior leader and wanted to forcibly put the blame on the head of the Criminal Division. At that time, the Ministry of Justice would only be responsible for supervising and supervising. To put it bluntly, it is typical to take credit and not trouble.
After several invalid pleas, Sun Shaozong had to take out two 'petitions' and turned the guy back.
As a former criminal police captain, he is naturally well aware of the dangers of drugs. Therefore, after the first month of the first month of this year, Sun Shaozong wrote to the Ministry of Punishment twice, requesting that "Shenxian San" be listed as a prohibited drug, and clearly ordered Buying and selling transactions are prohibited.
However, these two petitions were ignored by Chi Guoguo, a middle-level member of the Ministry of Punishment, and some people even concluded that Sun Shaozong intended to counterattack and persecute scholars and scholars.
After all, this fairy powder first became popular at the literary conference, and some people were really hilarious, and they spit out a few good poems - a good thing that can make Wen Si spring, and even a mere martial artist deserves to be questioned
Now that the situation has been reversed with the will of Emperor Guangde, the two rejected petitions have naturally become Sun Shaozong's bargaining cards.
Of course, if Xu Liang hadn't been too strong and had to do something to overwhelm people, he wouldn't necessarily have played these two cards - after all, the Ministry of Justice is also one of the dual departments in charge of the Department of Criminal Justice, who would be willing to fight against their superiors
As soon as these two cards were played, the scene immediately became embarrassing.
When nothing happened, the lower side paid attention to the upper side and ignored it; now something went wrong, but asked the lower side to take the lead and take the blame...
If it were elsewhere, the people below would really not be able to reason with it, but it would be obviously inappropriate to do this at the feet of the emperor - especially Sun Shaozong is currently gaining momentum, even within the Ministry of Punishment, there are quite a number of technical officials who highly respect him. , Xu Liang may not be able to take advantage of it if he really wants to make trouble.
However, the embarrassment of the scene turned into embarrassment, and the things that the emperor explained must be resolved.
Therefore, the two sides reached the following consensus after a 'warm and friendly' exchange:
Sure enough, this pot should still be carried by the Ministry of Rites!
Scholars who have learned to be rich and five cars gather in crowds to take drugs, and they even get to the point of running naked in the street. Isn't this a problem with etiquette? !
Besides, to punish scholars, it is also inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Rites. According to the rules, unless they commit a serious criminal crime, they must be removed from their fame before the local government can make a judgment.
The academic administration of the capital has always been held concurrently by officials of the Ministry of Rites.
As a result, the meeting that was originally scheduled to end in one day was delayed until the afternoon of the next day.
Regardless of the war of words during this period, Sun Shaozong was keenly aware of the fact that when Zhang Qiu, the Minister of Rites, gave a speech, the secretary of the Secretary of General Affairs and Political Affairs was rushing to write.
It seems that it's not that people's ideological awareness is not enough, but that the level of officials who attended the meeting yesterday was too poor, and their flattery failed to capture the height and breadth.
The book does not go into details.
When he returned to his own mansion with a thick stack of meeting minutes, it was already the moonlight.
As usual, Sun Shaozong used lanterns to disperse the evil spirits from his body in the yard. Then he quietly entered the inner room. Who would have guessed that there were two people lying side by side on the bed? Ling was also on the bed.
"Shh, be quiet, don't wake her up."
Ruan Rong hadn't slept soundly yet, when she heard a slight movement, she raised her hand and made a silent gesture.
Sun Shaozong crept up to the head of the bed and saw that there were tears in the corners of Xiangling's eyes, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter? From the inner courtyard of our house, how could anyone dare to bully her!"
"Where did the lord think."
Ruan Rong gave him a white look and stretched her snow-white arm forward. Sun Shaozong immediately understood, stepped forward to gently pull her up, and put a pillow and mattress behind her back.
Then he himself leaned against the end of the bed, covering his legs with the quilt, and then heard Ruan Rong continue: "I only found out when I met today that the eldest son of the third master's family is actually a bunny mouth—Xiang Ling is back. I started muttering, and I just coaxed for a while before I fell asleep."
Rabbit mouth
Sun Chengye's son turned out to be congenital cleft lip? !
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He had never heard anyone mention this.
Immediately he hurriedly asked again: "How did the sister-in-law deal with it? Is there nothing wrong?"
If there is no such accident, he is not worried that Jia Yingchun will be overwhelmed, but now...
"I was a little nervous at first."
Ruan Rong shook her head and said, "But the eldest lady is kind-hearted. I helped me with a few words, and she took advantage of the gift to surround the child with pity—see what the third young lady means. , I am very grateful."
"That's good."
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't relax.
If it is in later generations, congenital cleft lip can be repaired by surgery, but now it is a 'brand' that will be carried for a lifetime, especially on the most conspicuous facial features.
One of the basic requirements of the imperial examination was 'good facial features'. Although it did not need to be handsome, an image like a bunny lip would definitely be excluded.
In the Jinling Sun family, who is a family heirloom, this one is enough to make people sigh with embarrassment.
Now that I think about it, Sun Chengye wanted to move to the capital, probably because of this child—regardless of whether it was a kind or malicious concern, it was a heavy burden for Sun Chengye and his wife.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong instructed: "Tomorrow early in the morning, remember to prepare that gift for me - by the way, add a small dagger, which is the one that my elder brother kept for Yier to catch Zhou Shi."
