Chapter 334: Poor Parents
The next morning, the Immortal Powder Special Rectification meeting was convened. With the cooperation of invited officials from various departments, it was successfully held in the Ministry of Justice's hall under the direction of the Ministry of Justice.
The first session of the meeting was naturally a celebration of Guangde's achievements.
Perhaps because the person from the Office of Transmission Department was present, representatives from various government offices appeared extremely enthusiastic in this process, posing in various kneeling and licking positions, almost all of which were about to make the flattery swollen.
However, Sun Shaozong keenly discovered that the secretaries sent by the Office of Transmission Department had only touched the ink once from beginning to end, clearly pretending to be practitioners of official media who didnt record the praises thrown. Their ideological consciousness was a bit low!
After singing praises and praising virtues, it was finally time to argue...
Ah bah, it's time to discuss the main topic.
The prescriptions for making Immortal Powder have been spread everywhere. If they wanted to root out the problem from the source, they must list several common herbs as contraband. The Imperial College of Medicine, however, was adamantly against this option, so the discussion was over before it had a chance to get far along.
Since the source couldnt be cut off, it was natural to find ways to prevent and control it for the user.
However, in terms of specific prevention and control policies and the allocation of responsibilities, Xu Liang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Justice, and Sun Shaozong had a long and friendly exchange, but they were unable to reach a consensus.
At first, Xu Liang put on the face of his superiors and wanted to forcefully shift the blame to the Criminal Department. At that time, the Criminal Department was only responsible for supervision, which was a typical example of taking credit and not causing trouble.
After several invalid defenses, Sun Shaozong had to take out two petitions and fought back against this person.
As a former Criminal Police Captain, he was naturally aware of the dangers of drugs. Therefore, after the first appearance of the Immortal Powder in January this year, Sun Shaozong submitted two letters to the Ministry of Justice, requesting that the Immoral Powder be listed as a prohibited drug and explicitly prohibit trading it.
The middle level of the Ministry of Justice, however, disregarded both petitions, leading some to surmise that Sun Shaozong wanted to go the other way and persecute the literati.
After all, this Immortal Powder was first popular at literary gatherings, and some people really hit it off. They have sprayed out a few good poems that could make literary thoughts flow better. A mere martial artist even dared to question it?
Nowadays, the situation has been reversed with the will of Emperor Guangde, and these two rejected petitions have naturally become bargaining cards for Sun Shaozong.
Of course, if it weren't for Xu Liang's excessive strength and determination to use his power to overpower others, he wouldn't have played these two cards. After all, the Criminal Department was also one of the dual supervisory departments. Who would be willing to confront his superiors if he had nothing to do?
Ruan Rong glanced at him and took the opportunity to extend her snow-white arm forward. Sun Shaozong immediately understood and gently pulled her up, placing a pillow and mattress behind her.
He then leaned against the end of the bed, covering his legs with a blanket. Only then did Ruan Rong continue to say, "Today I met and realized that the eldest son of the Third Young Master's family was a rabbit with a beak. Xiangling came back and started muttering. I just coaxed her for a while before I fell asleep.
Rabbit mouth?
Sun Chengye's son has a congenital cleft lip?!
Upon hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be surprised. He had never heard anyone mention it before.
Immediately, he quickly pursued and asked, "How did Sister-in-law handle it? Are there any mistakes?
If it weren't for this kind of accident, he wouldn't be worried about Jia Yingchun getting lost, but now...
At first, I was a bit flustered
Ruan Rong shook her head and said, "But the Eldest Lady is really kind-hearted. I helped to make a few excuses, and she took advantage of the gift-giving opportunity, adored the child, and looked at the meaning of the Third Young Lady. She is quite grateful.
That's good.
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart couldn't relax.
If it were in later generations, a congenital cleft lip could still be repaired through surgery, but at the moment, it was a lifelong imprint that must be carried, especially on the most prominent facial features.
A basic requirement of the Imperial Examination was correct facial features. Although it didnt need to be handsome, an image like a rabbit's lips was definitely excluded.
In the Jinling Sun family, which claimed to have passed down their family through poetry and books, this alone was enough to make people sigh with regret.
Now, considering that Sun Chengye wanted to move to the Capital, there might also be reasons for this child, regardless of whether it was out of goodwill or malicious attention, it was a heavy burden for the Sun Chengye couple.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong instructed, "Tomorrow morning, remember to prepare that gift for me. Add another small dagger, the one my Big Brother kept for Yi'er to use when capturing items during his 1st birthday.
