However, it's a long story.
It's like this...
Regardless of what happened at the Hanguang Hall of the Imperial Palace that day.
Emperor Qing granted Su Yu two official positions: Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince and Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.
Su Yu didn't go to any of them.
All of this greatly angered the emperor.
Emperor Qing could not make a scene regarding what happened in the Hanguang Palace.
Emperor Qing had already given Su Yu a heads-up about not going to his post.
The officials below turned a blind eye.
Those two positions, one being the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, were essentially sinecures.
The other one, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, can be replaced with a new one after a while.
But for some reason, these suppressed messages...
It was spread by some gossipy censor to some ignorant officials.
Thus, at a court assembly one day, the censors all impeached Su Yu.
In particular, how could the Crown Prince's tutor be absent for such a long time?
However, the censors impeached the emperor for a long time until their mouths were dry, but Emperor Qing remained silent.
Simply ignore it and move on to the next topic.
However, this matter originally had little to do with Wang Qinian.
However, those censors persisted in their impeachment.
He even pressed his face against Emperor Qing, asking why he was protecting Su Yu so much.
Could it be that they are afraid of that young sword god?
Leading the group was Lai Mingcheng, a censor from the Censorate.
He said it with a serious expression.
"If Your Majesty is afraid, this old minister is not."
"At worst, let the Sword God take this old minister's life."
Upon hearing Lai Mingcheng's words, the officials in the hall were immediately taken aback.
Whether the Sword God will take his life is hard to say.
After all, he doesn't attend court, so why bother arguing with an honest old man?
But judging from His Majesty's ashen face, he probably wanted to kill him.
However, he was not the only one who impeached Su Yu.
Some officials who usually didn't speak much stepped forward at this time.
I didn't know for a moment whether I genuinely wanted to support Lai Mingcheng.
They still play a role in stirring things up and adding fuel to the fire.
However, after several days of petitioning...
Finally, at a court assembly on a certain day.
Emperor Qing relented.
It is said that Minister Su is exceptionally talented and has lofty aspirations.
We want to establish an academy amidst the mountains and rivers.
My dear minister, you are not only the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, but also the teacher of the students at the academy.
Therefore, it was unnecessary for the tutor to come to the palace to give lessons.
So the crown prince went to the academy to study with the common people.
Only by winning the hearts of the people can the crown prince be better tempered.
Since Emperor Qing has already said so.
The officials in charge of criticism should know when to stop.
Censor Lai, however, wanted to continue discussing the matter of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.
But Emperor Qing waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs to drag him out.
It was said that Imperial Censor Lai was getting old, so he was granted special permission to return to his residence to rest for a few days.
That's what they said on the surface.
But none of those present were fools.
When the emperor is angry, all the ministers fall silent.
After the troublemaker left, no one dared to mention the matter again.
Even those officials who had spoken out earlier fell silent.
The impeachment against Su Yu ended with the Crown Prince leaving the palace to attend classes at the academy.
After the court session ended.
There are many intelligent people in the court, and it is not difficult to find them.
Most of the officials who stirred up trouble were subordinates of the Crown Prince.
Many felt it was a pity, given their painstaking efforts and bold advice.
Ultimately, however, they were unable to get Su Yu punished.
Instead, the crown prince is leaving the palace to study with a group of commoners.
Wouldn't this be like losing both the wife and the army?
Little did they know.
Leaving the palace and entering the academy was exactly what the Crown Prince desired.
Ever since the Second Prince Li Chengze told the Crown Prince what Su Yu had said.
The crown prince pondered for several days before finally making up his mind.
He summoned his civil officials and launched this decisive attack.
Fortunately, my wish finally came true.
As for the possibility that such a risky act might offend Mr. Su.
But the crown prince was not a stupid person.
He knew that the gentleman would understand his intentions.
The matter would have ended quite perfectly at this point.
But for some reason, a few days passed.
Emperor Qing suddenly berated him, and Chen Pingping, the head of the Censorate, was stunned.
The gist is that Chen Pingping was ineffective in disciplining his subordinates.
Some officials can't even manage their own affairs properly, yet they meddle in other people's business.
They were just being silly and had nothing better to do.
Chen Pingping had been quietly listening with his eyes closed to the censors' impeachment of Su Yu.
Suddenly hearing His Majesty rebuke him, he smiled slightly and responded.
His Majesty's rebuke was perhaps a veiled criticism, or perhaps something else entirely.
Or perhaps, it is indeed certain people in the Censorate.
Dean Chen seemed unconcerned.
But the senior officials of the Oversight Council had other ideas.
What if the palace thinks they are all people who hold positions but do not fulfill their duties?
How can I possibly explain this clearly?
In short, after the court session that day.
The Internal Affairs Department of the Overwatch Council then launched a massive internal investigation.
However, the investigation ultimately uncovered Wang Qinian's involvement.
Because many officials from the Censorate who had passed by the bookstore, the clinic, and Yishiju had testified to this.
In private, Wang Qinian worked as a shopkeeper and coachman for the renowned Mr. Su in the capital.
Wang Qinian accepted the investigation with a completely bewildered look.
Some facts have been omitted and some details have been skipped.
The Ministry of the Interior eventually discovered it.
Wang Qinian only went to work for Su Yu after he finished his shift or on his day off.
We had no choice but to abandon the investigation.
But they still found a pretext to kick him out of the Overwatch Council.
Wang Qinian was thus pitifully kicked out.
But he could not possibly reveal Su Yu's affair.
Because he had a vague feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Losing my job is terrible, but offending Brother Su is definitely worse.
This was the keen intuition he had developed over many years of being both a thief and an official.
Of course, it's impossible not to express one's loyalty after doing something loyal.
