Madam, protect me!

Li Nuo's rank was promoted, but not completely.

His official position was promoted along with him.

Who would have thought that the court would have such an operation?

This was too obvious.

Fortunately, he still had more than 5,000 days to live, so he was not in such a hurry to go to the Ministry of Justice.

Moreover, he learned from An Ning that the Ministry of Justice had no cases recently. She was only reviewing the files sent from various places in the Ministry of Justice, and she didn't even plan to go to the Ministry of Justice.

Even if Li Nuo went, there would not be much to do.

The difficulty of breaking through each realm of the Legalist family is almost exponentially increasing.

In the whole of Daxia, there are only two people in the fifth realm of the Legalist family.

One is An Ning.

The other is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

To become an official of the Ministry of Justice, one has a certain bonus in the practice of the Legalist family. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple can steadily improve their cultivation as long as they do their job well, do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and do not murder loyal people.

Even so, it took the Minister of the Ministry of Justice thirty years to practice to the fifth realm.

If An Ning had not benefited from the help of the King of Han and the King of You, it might have taken her ten or even twenty years to reach her current level of cultivation.

Unless she encountered earth-shattering cases one after another, she would never be able to break through to the sixth level in her lifetime.

Li Nuo's cultivation was one level lower than hers, so it was still good for him to go to the Ministry of Justice.

But his father, the Minister of the Supreme Court, could kill anyone he wanted, but he couldn't let him be any official he wanted.

Having offended two prime ministers at the same time, he was still in his current position, which was a miracle in itself.

My father-in-law was already the Minister of Personnel, and he could nominate a fifth-rank official, but he still had to go through the procedures of the three provinces.

As long as the Right Prime Minister disagreed, this matter would not be accomplished.

The Right Prime Minister was not like the King of Han and the King of You.

He had the fifth level of Confucian cultivation, which was not only the pinnacle of Daxia's civil officials, but also the spiritual pillar of Daxia's Confucian students and officials. His disciples were all upright and righteous people in the court.

With such status and position, even His Majesty has to respect him, and his father can't do anything to him.

It seems that he will have to serve as the Secretary of the Honglu Temple for a while.

If he has the ability, he can be promoted next time and promote the Secretary of the Honglu Temple to the fourth rank, the fourth rank... If he can really be promoted, it doesn't matter if Li Nuo stays in the Honglu Temple forever.

When returning to Li's mansion from the Honglu Temple, Li Nuo saw a petite figure standing in front of the mansion.

Li Nuo jumped off the carriage, walked in front of her, and asked, "Is your sentence over?"

Gu Yanran nodded.

Li Nuo asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Gu Yanran said, "I want to go back to Xuanzhou to see, this time I came to say goodbye to the young master."

Her father was an accomplice in the Eastern Palace case.

However, when the Dali Temple tried the case, it did not pursue the families of those Eastern Palace officials, so she was released on time by the Ministry of Justice.

The King of Han has confessed that he threatened Gu Wenhan's wife and daughter to force Gu Wenhan to surrender.

After Gu Wenhan was transferred, he sent people to gradually corrupt him, step by step leading him to become a corrupt official with a lot of evil deeds, and finally killed him with the help of his father.

Li Nuo wanted to give her some money, but she refused.

When she was serving in the Ministry of Justice, she also had a certain income, although not much, it was enough for her to return to Xuanzhou.

Her self-esteem was very strong, so Li Nuo did not insist.

Without waiting for Li Nuo to say anything, Gu Yanran slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Nuo several times, and said: "Young Master's great kindness, Yanran will never forget it, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the young master's kindness."

She knew very well that she could live to this day because of the young master.

Her father committed an unforgivable capital crime, and she assassinated the young master without distinguishing between good and evil. The young master not only did not kill her, but also took care of her everywhere.

She had no other strengths, and should have served the young master all her life to repay the young master's kindness.

But she felt that she was not qualified to stay with the young master.

After she stood up, she tightened the small bag on her back, took a last look at Li Nuo, turned around and walked into the vast crowd.

Li Nuo sighed lightly. This former lady of a noble family had a miserable life and was also a pitiful girl.

Xuanzhou was more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an. It was still a question whether she, a weak woman, could return safely.

He found Lao Huang and asked him to arrange a guard to secretly escort her to Xuanzhou.

That was all he could do for her.

…

The right prime minister promoted the rank of the Honglu Temple Secretary from the fifth rank to the fifth rank.

This matter soon spread to various government offices.

Although changes in official ranks often happen, this is the first time in recent years.

There must be some reason for the right prime minister to do this.

And the reason was announced from the Secretariat only half a day later.

The Dali Temple wanted to use the Donggong case to promote his son, who was the Honglu Temple Secretary.

He was promoted two levels within half a year of entering the officialdom. This promotion was too fast. No one would be balanced, especially for the old officials who had been in the court for many years and had not been promoted.

The power of the Dali Temple reached a new peak after the fall of King You and King Han.

He did not stop after defeating two princes and killing countless powerful officials under the pretext of the Donggong case.

In the past two days, he has set his sights on Prince Gong's Mansion.

In the court today, the number of people who dare to openly oppose the Dali Temple can be counted on one hand.

I thought the Secretariat would compromise directly, but I didn't expect the Right Prime Minister to take action and cleverly resolve the matter in this way.

The right prime minister is worthy of being the right prime minister. He is dedicated to serving the public good and does not care about the power of the emperor's favorite ministers. After this incident, his status in the hearts of many students and officials has been improved a lot.

Once the son of the Minister of Dali Temple is in a high position and the father and son are in the same court, he will probably have more control over the government.

Fortunately, with the right Prime Minister here, the three provinces can hold on to the final bottom line.

Prince Gong's Mansion.

Prince Gong didn't care at all whether the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple was from the fifth rank or the fifth rank. He sat on the chair, and as the news continued to be summarized, his brows became deeper and deeper.

In the past two days, some of his officials have been investigated by the Spiegel Department.

Many people have been found guilty and imprisoned in the prison of the Mirror Division.

If it's just one or two people, maybe it's just a coincidence.

But more than a dozen people were investigated one after another, so it was definitely not just a coincidence.

Over the years, he has been holding back, only controlling in secret, avoiding countless power struggles, and almost completely retaining the power in his hands.

Li Xuanjing had no chance to attack him.

This time, why did he suddenly point the finger at Prince Gong's Mansion?

Recalling that a few days ago, King Rui went to Dali Temple unusually and had a long secret talk with Li Xuanjing, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Could it be that Prince Rui noticed that he was behind those two things and went to Dali Temple to inform Li Xuanjing?

Prince Rui and Li Xuanjing have been grudges for a long time, and it is impossible to go to Li Xuanjing without something important.

Could it be that he really found some clues?

Prince Gong's eyes moved slightly. He had arranged an undercover agent next to Prince Rui, so he could know all his movements and successfully frame the blame on him every time.

I thought that with Prince Rui’s brain, he would never find out.

Unexpectedly, he actually guessed that it was him...

Prince Gong couldn't figure it out. He pondered for a long time and said, "Use all your strength to find out what Prince Rui said to Li Xuanjing that day..."

…

The Mirror Division is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Daxia officials. Naturally, many people pay attention to every move made by the Mirror Division.

In the past two days, they made no secret and began to attack the officials of Prince Gong's family. Of course, they could not hide it from the courtiers.

Prince Gong's presence in the court was very low, and he had no friction with the ministers of Dali Temple. Although Li Xuanjing was domineering, every time he took action, it would always be for some grand reason to cover up the purpose of his party struggle.

If he arrests people without even finding a reason, it will not be a good thing for the officials in Chang'an.

Fortunately, someone still got some information from the officials of Dali Temple.

It is said that Prince Rui came to Dali Temple, swore to heaven, and personally denied the assassination of the minister of Dali Temple. He also pointed the finger at Prince Gong, implying that Prince Gong was behind everything and put the blame on him...

Officials from Dali Temple said that the oath King Rui swore that day was very poisonous...

At that time, the case was a big deal and everyone in Chang'an knew about it.

If what Prince Rui said is true, then it is no wonder that the minister of Dali Temple took action against Prince Gong.

This is a deadly feud. Even if he can't find solid evidence, he will definitely not let it go. Prince Gong is completely bringing this upon himself...

In Prince Gong's Mansion, after hearing the reports from his men, Prince Gong narrowed his eyes, stood up slowly, and said: "Li Rui, Li Rui, I really underestimated you. You actually learned how to divert misfortune to the east. In this case, then Don’t blame me…”

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui had been paying attention to Li Xuanjing's movements. He knew immediately that the Mirror Division finally took action against Prince Gong.

It seems that just one letter cannot convince Li Xuanjing.

He still had to come forward in person.

Prince Gong, an old fox, usually pretends to be harmless and not too bright, but in fact he is extremely sinister behind the scenes and has actually deceived everyone...

If it hadn't been for the fall of King Han and King You, he might not have suspected King Gong until now.

Prince Rui snorted coldly and wanted to put the blame on himself. He was reaping the benefits behind his back. He didn't even think about it. Li Xuanjing was not so easily deceived by him...

Although he didn't like Li Xuanjing, he had to admit that he was a smart and powerful opponent.

Just when Prince Rui was feeling proud, a figure quickly walked into the hall and whispered a few words in his ear.

Prince Rui frowned and said, "What, he designed to frame me, and I haven't settled the score with him yet, but he actually came back to cause trouble for us?"

The feminine man said: "There are rumors outside that it was His Highness who framed Prince Gong in front of the Minister of Dali Temple for murdering the Minister of Dali Temple's family, and that's why the Minister of Dali Temple attacked Prince Gong. This may be Prince Gong's revenge..."

Prince Rui said angrily: "What kind of frame-up? If he hadn't been behind this matter, I would have eaten this table! Besides, I didn't mention him at all that day!"

The feminine man said: "But this is what is said outside."

Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to realize something, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he murmured: "No..., has this king been plotted by Li Xuanjing again?"
