Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 731 It’s a pity that he is a direct minister
Two days later, the Ministry of Punishment went to the Yamen Office.

A middle-aged man with a white face and no beard walked into the lobby of the government office with a solemn expression. Without waiting for the many officials in the lobby to greet him, he suppressed the anger in his chest and said:

"Zhang Zhe, come here."

After saying that, he walked into a room aggressively.

Yang Jiao immediately stood up and followed him with a calm expression.

Suddenly, people in the lobby looked at each other in confusion, wondering why Chen Ying, the Vice Minister who was now in charge of the Criminal Department, was angry.

You must know that although Zhang Zhe has only been in the Ministry of Punishment for a short period of time, he has already shown his extremely talented side. Many cases that have been backlogged for a long time have been solved by him. Zhang Zhe's reputation as a divine judge has become quite popular within the Ministry of Punishment. Have a reputation.

Not to mention that he was engaged to the daughter of Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel not long ago. The examinations of countless officials in the Ministry of Punishment were all controlled by Yao Shangshu, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, Zhang Zhe, who is capable and capable, and has a backer, must be respected even by Chen Ying, the Minister of Punishment, and has never looked down upon him.

"Zhang Zhe, Mr. Zhang, you are so brave." When Chen Ying saw Yang Jiao walking in, he could no longer suppress the anger in his chest and said angrily:
"How many lives do you have, how dare you offend Xingwuwei? Do you know that today's morning court meeting, because of your impeachment memorial, not only smeared the Duke's face, but also angered the Holy Emperor, if Master Xie hadn't spoken , I, the Minister of Justice, can’t please you, so why don’t you ask me to tell you what you should do?”

"Yes, you are a god in solving cases and have outstanding talents. But in the officialdom, if you can only solve cases, your career will not last long."

Seeing that Yang Jiao was still calm and unmoved, he became even more angry:

"You are really upright and upright, and you don't listen to others' advice."

"Now that you have offended His Majesty, you have been fined and suspended from office. The case of arresting King Pingnan for rebelling against the Party has also been handed over to our Ministry of Punishment by His Majesty. If the Ministry of Punishment has a plan to pursue this time, you will be reinstated. If the Ministry of Punishment fails to arrest you, , if you miss the opportunity to arrest the rebels, you will be demoted from the capital and never hired."

"You see, risking your life and career, the best result in the end is just to be reinstated as an official."

Seeing his still indifferent expression, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh:
"Why do you think you are doing this? You obviously have a bright future. As long as you are cautious and don't try to get ahead in everything, you will surely rise to the top. Why do you have to screw yourself up?"

"Also, the case of King Pingnan rebelling against the party is also a hot potato. Now the Ministry of Punishment has taken away the power of the Xingwu Guard. This has completely offended Duke Xue. Who doesn't know that he arrested the military attache of the Yan family for what he did? It is to place the charge of colluding against the party on the Yan family."

"If the case is brought to trial, it will offend the Yan family. If it is not brought to trial, it will offend the Xue family. Not only will it be accused of incompetent handling of the case in front of the Holy Master, it will not be a favor on both sides."

"That's all, you've already been fined and suspended. It's useless to tell you this."

Yang Jiao said calmly:

"Sir Chen, the Minister of Punishment retired last year. You are only a deputy, so why should you be afraid of being like this? The captured traitor will naturally be tried, but this traitor has always been cunning. Even if the trial fails, it is normal."

"Even if there is no result in the trial in the end, someone else will take over in the court. At that time, the Ministry of Punishment will be demoted from the capital and will never be hired. It's just Zhang. Why should Mr. Chen worry."

These words woke up the dreamer, and Chen Ying couldn't help but look happy, but when he thought of this, the future of the person in front of him would be ruined, so he immediately calmed down the emotions on his face and shook his head:

"Master Zhang, since you understand the consequences of impeachment, why do you do this?"

Yang Jiao bowed:

"A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. In Zhang's eyes, everyone is equal before the law. If he sees someone ignoring the law, he cannot sit idly by and do nothing."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Ying looked at Yang Jiao's leaving figure and said to himself:

"It's a pity that he is a straight minister."

starry night.Zhang residence, study room.

At this time, a faint shimmer surrounded Yang Jiao's body. As his thoughts turned, the white gas flowed into the Dantian, exuding the pure Yang Qi.

No one in the court knew that the real intention of what Duke Dingguo Xue Yuan asked Xingwu Wei to do was to eradicate the Yan family. Therefore, after a day of fermentation, Yang Jiao's reputation for uprightness was probably heard by officials in Beijing.

He took this opportunity to enter the path of Confucianism and cultivated an awe-inspiring righteousness in his body.

Because the method he created does not involve Tao, but is just a simple technique, it naturally cannot be used to fight with words or bloom lotus blossoms, nor can poetry be able to conquer a country or destroy an army with words.

This Haoran's righteous energy can only strengthen the body, prevent evil from invading, and restrain demons. Of course, if Haoran's energy reaches a certain level, it has some power to speak out, and with a loud shout, it can kill those who have not yet entered the fairyland. The demon is suppressed to death.

But for mortals, it would be reduced by half. At most, it could protect the body, or cut off the enemy's weapon.

Yang Jiao didn't care about the ability to protect against evil and restrain demons, but what he valued more was the ability of Haoran's righteousness to strengthen his body.

In this way, there is no need to practice Sanjiu in the winter or practice in the summer, and he will be able to get an extremely strong body, plus the aura of awe-inspiring nourishment to nourish the spirit, and the spiritual sense will be extraordinary.

So much so that he is confident that he can protect himself even when faced with warriors in the unparalleled realm.

When Yang Jiao had a little sense of security, he thought that he still had an engagement, and now that he was in an unpredictable situation, he could justly break off the engagement and gain a good reputation.

Thinking of this, he began to write books.

I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Yao. The younger generation, Zhang Zhe, is grateful for the great love and appreciation in the court. I wish to express my love to you. I cherish my kindness and dare not forget it.

However, things have changed now. He is a reckless man and an upright official. He is the first to betray the king and the treacherous traitor behind. His progress is already difficult and his future is unpredictable. He may be demoted from the capital in the near future and never be used again.

I have written this letter to ask Yao Gongzheng to allow me to stop my marriage to your beloved. Your beloved should choose a more suitable person and live in love for the rest of his life.

Yours sincerely, my junior Zhang Zhe.

After Yang Jiao finished writing, he was going to ask someone to send back the letter, the marriage letter and the Yao family's engagement gift early tomorrow morning.

The next day.

In the small courtyard of Zhang's house, Yang Jiao stood with an old woman.

"Mom, are you blaming the child?"

The old woman, who is Yang Jiao's biological mother, Jiang said warmly:

"The daughter of a dignified minister, I think you are used to enjoying the glory and wealth. Now that you are suspended from your duties at home, I don't know if you can continue to stay in the capital in the future. It's better to retire to avoid causing any trouble."

"Besides, my son has always been upright and good-looking. He will definitely be able to find a more suitable woman."

She seemed to remember something and smiled:

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and there is a lantern festival in Beijing. Since you have been suspended from work, don't bury yourself in papers all day. When the night is approaching, you can go to the lantern festival by yourself, and you may meet a woman you are compatible with."

Yang Jiao smiled helplessly and said nothing.

However, when the sun set, he was finally kicked out by his mother.
