The Public House didn’t directly intervene; instead, they orchestrated other ministers to draft morials and submit them to the emperor.
The morials emphasized that as a minister in a significant role, Su Bin should be appreciative of the emperor’s trust and give his utmost dedication to serving the nation and its citizens.
However, Su Bin seed uninterested in improving. Love consud him, and even after his wife, Qin Zhenzhen, beca pregnant, he expressed a desire to accompany her to her hotown for recuperation.
His focus remained solely on family matters, disregarding the emperor’s expectations of him. To the emperor, Su Bin, a young man seemingly lacking in understanding of the bigger picture, placed excessive importance on family affairs. He appeared narrow-minded and unfit for a position in the imperial court. Relocating him to a remote area for a period of training before reassessnt seed appropriate.
Simultaneously, Su Bin enlisted the support of a few officials to draft similar morials, further urging the emperor to transfer him.
In addition to the Public House’s involvent, a total of five to six officials had authored morials, all staunchly advocating for Su Bin’s relocation.
The emperor was truly perturbed when he received multiple requests for Su Bin’s transfer. He was well aware that this was undoubtedly the handiwork of the Crown Prince and the Public House.
Although they hadn’t co forward directly, the emperor knew that the ministers who had penned the morials were associated with the Public House.
The emperor was taken aback that other ministers, seemingly neutral, also held a disfavorable view of Su Bin.
Did this signify that Su Bin was genuinely lacking in magnanimity?
Before these developnts, Su Bin had written an anonymous letter to the emperor, as was his customary practice. In it, he analyzed the royal court’s situation and advised the emperor to initially feign compliance with the Public House, awaiting a suitable mont to assert his authority.
After careful consideration, the emperor finally set aside his brush and issued an imperial edict.
In accordance with the celestial decree, the Emperor declared:
He explicitly appointed Su Bin as the governor of Shanglin Prefecture, instructing him to assu the position within two days.
With this, the governorship of Shanglin Prefecture City was elevated, and Su Bin was required to return to the capital to fulfill his new role.
The emperor also summoned Su Bin to the palace for a personal eting, in which he assured Su Bin that this was, in reality, an opportunity for him to accompany his wife on her journey back to her hotown for recuperation.
Su Bin had achieved his objective and concealed his elation, quickly expressing gratitude to his sovereign.
Observing Su Bin’s evident happiness, the emperor privately concluded that Su Bin had indeed displayed a lack of magnanimity. His earlier assessnt had been mistaken.
Initially, the emperor had harbored guilt toward Su Bin, unable to confront the Public House directly. This guilt had led him to consent to Su Bin’s reassignnt from the capital.
However, that guilt had dissipated. The emperor now firmly believed that Su Bin was unsuitable for a role in the Court of Judicial Review.
The news of Su Bin’s transfer from the capital by imperial decree swiftly disseminated through the streets and lanes of the city.
“Did you hear the latest? Primus Su is leaving the capital to beco the governor of a remote southern mountain city!”
“No way, right? The emperor just placed Primus Su in an important role and even arranged for him to join the Court of Judicial Review. Word was, he was going to take over as the minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Why the sudden change?”
“It’s confird that Primus Su has been relocated from the capital. I heard that the emperor allowed him to accompany his wife to her hotown. Coincidentally, there was a vacancy there, so they decided to have Primus Su take over.”
“In that case, it’s not that the emperor doesn’t value Primus Su, but he’s given him the opportunity to accompany his wife to her hotown.” anwhile, private discussions were held among those in the know.
“In truth, that’s not the real reason…
“It was the Crown Prince who deliberately suppressed Primus Su…” “Because the Crown Prince wants to have Divine Doctor Qin…”
“Many have recognized that the Crown Prince and the Fifth Princess seek to fra Divine Doctor Qin and Primus Su…”
The imperial family had a common tactic: if they couldn’t have sothing, they’d destroy it. The Crown Prince had already cultivated an air of arrogance..
