Madam, protect me!

When the Prince of Ruyang was executed, Li Nuo and Yiren were also in the crowd.

He did not come to watch the excitement on purpose, but was just passing by.

The Eastern Palace case broke out, the King of Han and the King of You were demoted to commoners, and the Prince of Han's son Li Qian and the son of Jingzhao Yin Lin Ting were also imprisoned in the Dali Temple. It was just right to turn over the case of Fengyang County and clear Yiren's name.

The gold medal of immunity from death must also be returned to the court.

When passing by Caishikou, he happened to see the Prince of Ruyang being beheaded.

Li Nuo just found out that the Prince of Ruyang was also involved in the Eastern Palace case, but at this moment, he had no intention of thinking about it at all.

His eyes were looking at a corpse hanging in Caishikou.

Jingzhao Yin committed suicide in the Dali Temple and his body was hung for public display.

But his portrait did not appear in the code.

Could it be that he was wronged?

I'm afraid it's unlikely. In the case of the Eastern Palace, it can be said that Lin Fuzhi, who served as the chief steward of the Eastern Palace, played a greater role than the King of Han and the King of You. No matter who is innocent, he cannot be innocent.

Could it be that the Dali Temple has not yet pronounced the verdict?

If the Dali Temple has not officially pronounced the verdict, his portrait will indeed not appear in the code.

With this curiosity, Li Nuo came to the Dali Temple again.

His father was still trying the case, and Li Nuo did not interrupt him. Under the guidance of a temple official, he came to his yamen.

On the table in the yamen, there were several files that had been closed.

One was for the King of Han and the King of You, one was for the Prince of Ruyang, and the other was for the Jingzhao Yin.

Although he was dead, the necessary procedures could not be missed.

First of all, his official position was completely removed, and three clans were executed.

The three clans in the Daxia criminal law refer to father, son, and grandson.

Originally, the definition of three clans was broader, but the Legalists did not advocate killing innocent people indiscriminately. With the efforts of the predecessors of the Legalists, the scope was narrowed a lot. Even if an unforgivable felony was committed, only direct blood relatives were generally killed.

Killing three clans is already an extremely severe punishment.

If the emperor ordered, it could be expanded to nine clans, and all relatives related to them would not be able to escape death.

Now the problem is here.

Jingzhao Yin has been sentenced and died, but his portrait did not appear in the code.

Having owned the code for so long, this is the first time that Li Nuo has encountered such a strange thing.

There must be some reason he doesn't know.

Li Nuo wanted to find Jingzhao Yin's family, but was told that just now, Jingzhao Yin's wife and son also committed suicide by taking poison in the cell of the Dali Temple.

Not long after, a figure walked in from outside. Li Xuanjing looked at them and asked, "Why are you here?"

The matter of the code was too bizarre. Even when facing Yiren and his father, Li Nuo didn't know how to start. He didn't mention the matter of Jingzhao Yin and explain his intention to his father.

Li Xuanjing took out a file from the drawer and said, "This is the testimony of Li Qian, the prince of Han. It is indeed he who designed to kill the county magistrate of Fengyang. You take this testimony to the Secretariat and ask them to issue an edict to exonerate Yiren."

Li Nuo took the file. His father always considered everything very carefully.

Song Yiren said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Xuanjing handed him a sign and said, "The Dali Temple has a lot of things to do. Other officials are busy. You can go by yourself. Take this sign. This is the certificate to enter the palace."

These days, the entire Dali Temple will be very busy. Li Nuo and Yiren did not continue to make trouble. They left the Dali Temple and went straight to the Secretariat.

The three ministries of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu are all in the palace, and ordinary people cannot enter.

With the token to enter the palace, Li Nuo and Yiren easily entered the palace.

However, her sword must be left at the gate of the palace and cannot be brought into the palace.

This is not to protect the emperor, but to protect the officials of the three ministries.

In the whole of Daxia, no one has been able to assassinate the emperor.

Of course, this is just a formality. For a master like her, having a sword or not only makes a difference when facing a master of the same level. Against ordinary people, there is no need to use weapons.

Walking in the palace, Yiren looked around everything. At a certain moment, she suddenly asked Li Nuo: "Can you still practice law?"

Li Nuo said: "Yes, I always believe that you are innocent."

Song Yiren did not speak again, walking with her head down, and some complicated feelings arose in her heart.

During this period, she practiced desperately, just to be promoted to a master as soon as possible, so that even if he could not practice, she could protect him.

But now, there are more powerful people around him to protect him.

He himself has the strength to protect himself.

This made her suddenly lose her direction and feel a little confused about the future.

The Zhongshu Province is not far from the palace gate, and the two soon arrived in front of the Zhongshu Province.

The two Zhongshu Shilang were discussing matters with the left and right prime ministers. Zhongshu Sheren Du Yu got the news and immediately came to meet them. After listening to Li Nuo's explanation, he said without any hesitation: "This is the court's mistake and should be corrected. Li Sicheng, do you have any other requests?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and said: "At that time, this case was widely spread and everyone in Chang'an knew about it. It would be best if Zhongshu Province could issue an imperial edict to announce it to the whole city so that more people can know the truth."

The Zhongshu Province's imperial edict is not issued casually. For cases that were wrongly judged, each department can just revise the files themselves. It is not the turn of Zhongshu Province to issue an imperial edict.

Du Yu hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment.

Afterwards, he nodded repeatedly and said: "It should be, it should be..."

Li Nuo said again: "There is one more thing."

Du Yu asked: "Master Li, please speak."

Li Nuo said: "Since I am innocent, can the court return the death-free gold medal to me?"

"..."

In all the years Du Yu has been in power, he has only seen the imperial court collect gold medals to exempt people from death, but he has never seen anyone ask for gold medals from the imperial court to exempt people from death.

Not only had he never seen it, he had never even heard of it.

But whether he should say it or not, his request was reasonable and reasonable.

Since it was a wrongly judged case, I should not have used the death-free gold medal, and it seems that the court should have returned it to me.

But he just felt something was wrong.

Soon, Du Yu realized that although he was missing a gold medal for immunity from death, His Majesty gave him another gold medal that time. If the court returned the gold medal for immunity from death to him, would he have to give back the other one?

This was not a question that he should consider. When he saw the two prime ministers and the Minister of Public Affairs coming out of a government office, he immediately went up to them and whispered a few words to the two old men.

Li Nuo quickly felt that two eyes were firmly locked on him.

They were two old men, both with white hair and white beards. One had a slender face, which gave people a kind feeling, while the other had sharp eyes and was not angry, and he did not have a good temper at first glance.

In the entire court, it is not difficult to guess the identity of a person who can appear in Zhongshu Province, be respected by Zhongshu Sheren and the Minister of Zhongshu.

The left and right phases are the true pinnacle of Daxia's civil servants.

The most rare thing is that not only do they hold high positions, but they are also strong Confucians in the fifth realm. Both the courtiers and the people respect them extremely.

An invisible pressure came over me.

A force emerged from Li Nuo's body, automatically resisting the pressure.

When the power of Legalism met Haoran's righteousness, the pressure suddenly became friendly.

Li Nuo sighed secretly, the cultivation level of the fourth realm was still not able to be controlled freely.

When he reaches the fifth realm, there will be no such situation where his cultivation will be automatically exposed.

The two old men looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It is really rare for someone to reach the fourth level of Legalism to appear in such a young person.

The news that he could no longer practice Legalism seemed to be just rumors.

The old man with sharp eyes looked at Li Nuo and said, "It looks like it, it really does look like it, so similar to Li Xuanjing when he was young..."

Another kind old man also kept looking at Li Nuo with a deep gaze, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

The right minister walked up to Li Nuo and asked, "Do you want the death-free gold medal back?"

Li Nuo didn't know which prime minister this was, but he was reasonable and fearless, and said: "Since the person was wronged, the gold medal for immunity from death can be used without it, why can't he get it back?"

The right minister looked at him for a few times, shook his head and said: "Once the death-free gold medal is withdrawn, it will be smelted immediately. It is impossible to return it to you, and there is no way to return it to you."

Not long after, Li Nuo and Yi Ren walked out of the palace.

He sighed in his heart, how could the court be so unreasonable?

Although he still has two brands in his hand, the lost one can never be returned...

Zhongshu Province.

The right minister looked in the direction of the palace gate and said: "This boy looks similar to Li Xuanjing, but his personality is completely different. How could that boring gourd give birth to such a son..."

At this time, an official came in and said: "Your Excellency, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, the Prince of Xingyang, the Prince of Dongping, the Duke of Le'an, the Duke of Jinyang, the Marquis of Shouyang, the Marquis of Lantian, the Earl of Yueyang, and the Earl of Yingchuan , Wang Sheren, and Feishe people were all sentenced to death by the Minister of Dali Temple..."

Du Yu and the two ministers of Zhongshu took a deep breath when they heard this.

Li Xuanjing is going crazy!

One Ruyang County Prince is not enough. He won't kill everyone who impeached him, right?

When the right minister heard these names, his eyes moved and he asked: "What's the reason?"

The official said: "Treason."

His lips moved, as if he couldn't speak anymore, and after a long time he said: "The Minister of Dali Temple said that these people were all involved in the murder of the prince..."

The two ministers of Zhongshu looked down at the ground.

No matter who becomes the emperor, the powerful people of Daxia are still powerful people. What reason do they have to murder the prince?

The two Zhongshushe people had just arrived in Chang'an more than ten years ago. What ability did they have to murder the prince?

Not to mention anything else, Uncle Yingchuan just inherited the title. He is seventeen years old this year. He was only six years old when the prince died. How could a six-year-old child participate in rebellion?

Of course, although Uncle Yingchuan was young, he had committed countless crimes, and he had to be demoted twice to be exempted from crime before he could survive in the hands of Li Xuanjing until now.

This time, there was no way he could get away with it.

Regardless of whether it is a reduction in rank or a gold medal to avoid death, it is not applicable in the face of the serious crime of treason.

This makes people doubt whether the Minister of Dali Temple is avenging his private revenge...

No, no need to doubt, this is public revenge!
