Chapter 708: Not Afraid of Criticism

Xie Jin's official position is indeed not high among so many officials. Above the minister, there are the prime minister and chief minister, as well as ministers at the center of power in the cabinet, and many officials with higher grades than him.

Compared with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice does not have the power and positions that people fear. After all, it is the Ministry of Personnel that controls the promotion, rewards and punishments of officials.

However, the ninth master of the Xie family is currently favored by the Holy Spirit. The regent secretly gives him much greater power than he does openly. The Wei Palace is almost planted in his hands. The Ningyun family and Su, one of the four major families in the imperial capital His home was also confiscated in his hands.

Last year, under the instructions of the regent, he found out one official after another who was corrupt, perverted the law, and was incompetent. The whole court was trembling with fear because of him. For two months, everyone was in danger.

So no one dared to ignore the warnings and threats he gave.

The ninth master of the Xie family is known to have a bad temper, and his methods are also known to be ruthless. From winning the first prize to breaking the Yun family case, Xie Jin has been in the limelight in the past two years. Whether in the court or in the imperial city, he is a powerful figure. Face, the limelight is unrivaled.

Which of the many ministers is not extremely afraid of him?

Even though everyone always takes it for granted that the most intelligent person will be injured and the most prosperous person will decline, but before he declines, the threat still cannot be underestimated.

Who could have predicted when his decline would come?

Therefore, the right way is to be strict with oneself and protect oneself wisely.

"Today's move is indeed effective. These legitimate sons are not fools. Let's talk about the stakes when we go back. The ministers in the court will naturally control their families and relatives for the sake of life and death." Chu Nanyi frowned, "But for the time being. , we can only restrain this group of people. There are also some people who are not officials among the eighteen tribes, not to mention the nine tribes. How should we deal with the criticism of these people? "

Xie Jin smiled lazily: "So, this is the gap between you and me."

Chu Nanyi was silent for a moment, then smiled gracefully and said, "I would like to listen to Master Jiu's advice."

"It is said that the people do not fight against the officials. The reason why the common people dare to criticize is because there are too many people talking about this matter, and among them there are not a few dignitaries. They all have the mentality of watching a good show, and they follow what others say, so they are noisy in the world. Naturally, the common people were emboldened and joined in the fun." Xie Jin took a sip of wine and said in a loose voice, "When all the officials and family members gradually calmed down, there were fewer people discussing the matter among the powerful. , even if ordinary people are still curious, they just talk and laugh innocuously, and they don’t have the courage to say more words of criticism and abuse. "

As long as people are living a good life, who wants to get into trouble? It is true that ordinary people like to join in the fun, but it is natural to fear death, and it is also natural to fear the powerful. Most people are not stupid enough to get themselves into trouble just to join in the fun.

Except for very few idiots.

Therefore, this matter does not actually require excessive force to suppress it. As long as the right method is used, the rumors will naturally disappear over time.

"Besides, I'm not afraid of being criticized." Xie Jin slowly put down his wine cup, stood up, and relaxed gracefully, "In this world, whether you are alive or dead, you will inevitably be judged by others, okay? There are all kinds of bad things. Thinking so much is just asking for trouble. Taking pleasure in time is what a smart person should do. "

Rumors must be controlled, but they must be controlled reasonably. You cannot forcefully silence everyone, as this will only be counterproductive.

Mo Ling'an was puzzled: "Since you are not afraid of being criticized, why did you do this today? Wouldn't it be better to just ignore it and let it ferment?"

"Of course not. If you let it ferment, it will only get worse and get out of control." Xie Jin glanced at him and said, "If I get scolded, I will scold you a few times. Anyway, I have thick skin and rough flesh, and it doesn't hurt or itch. But we cannot allow Her Majesty the Queen and the Lord to make groundless speculations about this matter, let alone disrupt the morale of the army.”

Mo Lingan was silent for a moment, as if he finally understood his intention, and his eyes gradually became clear.

The common people are just watching the fun. Whether they are interested or criticizing, it is only about the relationship between two men and will not involve sensitive matters such as government affairs.

Since the officials are accustomed to guessing the king's heart, their attitude towards this matter is more to guess the king's intentions. Few people will simply discuss this relationship that is not allowed in the world. If they speculate too much, it will affect the king's heart. Going to the military camp will definitely cause instability in the morale of the army - after all, the other protagonist in this matter, Xuanyuan Yao, is the general of the army and the soul of the Obsidian Army.

To put it bluntly, Xie Jin firstly wanted to stabilize the court, and secondly, he wanted to stabilize the morale of the military.

As for this relationship, it is up to the world to judge. As long as it does not involve any conspiracy theories, he can completely ignore it.

"As expected of Mr. Xie Jiu, who is generous-minded. He has a deep mind and a flexible mind. He can tolerate things that others cannot tolerate, and can solve problems that others cannot." Mo Lingan raised his hand slightly, "I admire you."

Xie Jin smiled calmly: "That's easy to say."

"It seems that my prince should have a good relationship with Mr. Xie Jiu." Xuanyuan Qi stood up, as if he was planning to leave, "If you offend Mr. Jiu, there will be endless troubles. Being a friend of Mr. Jiu has many benefits."

Xie Jin humbly said: "I don't dare, I pray for the crown prince's praise."

Xuanyuan Qi clicked his tongue: "Be careful, I will accuse you of forming a clique for personal gain in front of His Majesty."

"Then Prince Qi must prepare sufficient evidence in advance." Xie Jin smiled lightly, "After all, the crime of falsely accusing a court official should not be light."

Xuanyuan Qi snorted lightly, turned around and left gracefully and calmly.

"The court will start early tomorrow morning, right?" Mo Ling'an looked up at the sky. "I've watched all the excitement and performed the drama with you. I have to go to the palace. While the master is still free today, I will report everything to him in detail. I'll see what instructions he has, and then go home and have a good sleep."

"I'll go with you." Chu Nanyi stood up, straightened his robe, and looked like a gentleman. "I'll go check the pulse of His Majesty and the master."

After saying that, the two turned to look at Xie Jin at the same time: "What about you? Go together?"

Xie Jin shook his head: "I have to go to the Western Suburbs military camp. I'll go to court tomorrow and accompany Yaoyao tonight."

"Go to the military camp?" Mo Ling'an frowned, "This is not Is it suitable?"

"What do you know?" Xie Jin glanced at him, "I just want to show my consideration and virtue in front of the Black Obsidian Army, and establish my authority for Yao Yao, so that the generals under his command will not think that their generals have been wronged and become the little wives of others."

Chu Nanyi heard this and smiled gently: "Master Jiu is indeed becoming more and more like a good wife and mother."

"Congratulations." Mo Lingan said, "Master Jiu is talented, handsome, smart, and considerate. Prince Yao is so lucky."

Chu Nanyi nodded in agreement: "The only regret is that I can't have children."

Mo Lingan sighed: "It's really a pity."

Xie Jin turned around and left, too lazy to pay attention to their boring words.
