Madam, protect me!

The left prime minister was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

He went around and came back.

He thought that the man was a spy from another country, and wanted to use Liang to provoke a war between Daxia and Wei so as to profit from it.

But in the end, the diplomat turned out to be from Daxia.

How could he be from Daxia?

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a huge net covering the court.

The left prime minister said in a deep voice: "Keep checking, I want all his information from birth to now!"

It was much easier to check after confirming that the man's native place was Daxia.

Several of his friends in the Liang State delegation provided important clues to the Dali Temple. Dongfang Bo went to Liang State only after he failed the imperial examination in Daxia.

Compared with Daxia, the competition in the imperial examination in small countries is much smaller.

Students who failed the imperial examination in Daxia may even become the top scholar in those small countries.

Some students in Daxia, if they feel that they cannot enter the officialdom in Daxia, may also settle for the second best and find ways to obtain the identities of these small countries and serve as officials in their countries.

More than ten years have passed since the imperial examination.

If it was a Jinshi of that year, it would be fine, all the resumes of Jinshi can be found in the Ministry of Personnel.

But this person is a failed candidate, and it takes a lot of effort to find his information.

There will definitely be no results today. Zuo Xiang looked at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and said, "After finding out the results, come to Zhongshu Province as soon as possible."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple nodded.

After a while, Zuo Xiang walked out of the court and left Dali Temple.

At the same time, two other figures walked in from outside Dali Temple.

Zuo Xiang paused, and the two figures coming towards him also stopped in place.

Prince Chun didn't know whether to advance or retreat. He didn't know where to put his hands. He said awkwardly: "Uh..., Zuo Xiang, why are you here?"

Facing the great scholar of the fifth realm, even he had to maintain enough respect and politeness.

Zuo Xiang bowed to him and said, "Your Highness."

Although he was talking to Prince Chun, his eyes were looking at Li Xuanjing who was beside Prince Chun.

The officials of the Dali Temple who sent Zuo Xiang away also stood in place, not daring to breathe.

The grudge between Zuo Xiang and the Lord of the Temple could not be explained in a few words.

They were once master and apprentice with a father-son relationship.

They were also irreconcilable enemies.

Many of Zuo Xiang's disciples died in that incident, and it was Lord of the Temple who reported them.

After that, the master and apprentice turned against each other.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

After three breaths, Zuo Xiang's eyes moved away from Li Xuanjing and walked out of the Dali Temple.

Li Xuanjing also didn't say a word and walked straight back to the government office.

Everyone in the Dali Temple breathed a sigh of relief, and a moment later, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple walked into the government office.

Li Xuanjing was looking through the files, while Prince Chun was playing chess with himself in the corner. He bowed to Prince Chun first, then walked to the table and told Li Xuanjing what had just happened in detail.

"A fourth-level strategist, with a noble spirit, and a native of Daxia..." Li Xuanjing tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "Got it."

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple did not say much, but bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After he left, Prince Chun asked curiously, "How could such a person cultivate a noble spirit?"

Speaking of a noble spirit, he thought of great scholars like Zuo Xiang, students who had read too much in the academy, and censors who dared to say anything in the Censorate, not a murderer.

Li Xuanjing said softly: "Whether he can cultivate the noble spirit does not depend on what he has done, but on what he wants to do. If he is doing it for the righteousness in his heart, not out of selfishness, even if he kills people and sets fires, the noble spirit in his heart will not disappear."

Prince Chun sighed: "This is too terrible. If what he wants to do is wrong, wouldn't the higher his status, the greater the harm? People like the left and right prime ministers, if they raise their arms and call, I am afraid that most of the world will respond. If they rebel..."

Li Xuanjing said: "Even if they rebel, they are not rebelling for themselves..."

At this moment, in the Secretariat.

The left prime minister also showed a worried look on his face.

A fourth-level strategist is not terrible.

A third-level Confucian is not terrible either.

A third-level Confucian who is also a fourth-level strategist is not a simple superposition of the harm to a country.

He himself is a Confucian and understands Confucianism.

Once a Confucian disciple has identified the righteousness in his heart, in the worst case, he may drag the whole country into the bottomless abyss in the name of righteousness...

...

Li Mansion.

Li Nuo spent the whole afternoon with Mu'er and Ning'er.

Since he stopped living in Song Mansion, he has not seen them often.

Although Jia and Yiren occasionally bring them here, they can't live in Li Mansion for a long time. Perhaps the education of the lady failed. For Mu'er and Ning'er, the Song family is very strict.

After learning mathematics, the Song family invited a teacher to teach them literature, music, and painting. It is obvious that they want to cultivate them in a more comprehensive direction.

For the whole afternoon, Mu'er and Ning'er complained to him that they had to take various courses and practice martial arts every day, and they didn't even have time to play with him.

It seems that because they are one year older, the relationship between the two sisters is no longer as tit-for-tat as before, and they finally look like real sisters.

On the contrary, the relationship between Jia and Yiren, sisters, is not as good as that between two seven-year-old children.

Although Yiren did not target her like she did at the beginning, the two were not very close. Yiren preferred to be with Fenghuang, while Jia and Anning were closer.

Only Fenghuang had a good relationship with everyone. If she was not there, Li Nuo could not imagine how Yiren would get along with them on weekdays.

The next day, Li Nuo came to the Honglu Temple again.

Although he had a day off yesterday, it was the same as not having one.

Working ten days and resting one day is really inhumane. When he has a say in the Zhongshu Province in the future, he must write the law of working five days and resting two days.

The Zhongshu Province was still trustworthy. In the morning, a Lingshi came to the Honglu Temple specifically to ask Li Nuo what official position he wanted to hold. He could choose any official position of the fifth rank in the court.

There are many official positions of the fifth rank to choose from.

The chief officials of the six ministries are all of the fifth rank.

There are also some minor positions in the three provinces that can be chosen.

Li Nuo had already thought about what official position he would hold.

If you want to cultivate the legal system, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are both good places. All the case files in the country are gathered in these two ministries. Even if you don’t need to check specific cases, your cultivation will automatically increase by stamping them every day.

The Ministry of Justice has more files on imprisonment than the Dali Temple.

Imprisonment is the middle punishment of the five punishments. It is not too light, but it is not too heavy. The number is also the largest, and the final review power lies with the Ministry of Justice.

If you choose the Dali Temple, it is equivalent to giving up this part of the files on imprisonment.

Li Nuo finally chose the doctor of the Ministry of Justice.

As for the former doctor of the Ministry of Justice, I believe that the three provinces will give him a better arrangement.

The next thing to do is to wait for the appointment of the three provinces.

The envoys’ meeting officially started yesterday, and the Honglu Temple is a little more idle today.

The most troublesome thing is to receive and accommodate them. After the conference officially begins, the envoys of various countries will conduct diplomatic negotiations with the corresponding countries according to their needs, and these have nothing to do with the Honglu Temple.

At noon, Li Nuo went home for lunch as usual.

Today's Li Mansion seems a little abnormal.

When passing by the gatehouse, Li Nuo did not see Wu Guanjia and Lao Huang, and there was no one in the gatehouse.

There were no servants at home.

It was not until he passed through two doors that Li Nuo saw a group of servants gathered outside their courtyard gate, and there were also shadows inside the courtyard.

Li Nuo walked into the courtyard and found that his mother-in-law came over. Not only that, the old lady and several aunts of the Song family were also there. This was the first time he saw such a big scene.

When Wu Guanjia saw him, his old face was full of smiles. He walked over quickly and said, "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master..."

After listening to Wu Guanjia's words, Li Nuo was stunned for a long time.

This morning, the beauty felt unwell.

An Ning invited a female doctor from the palace to diagnose her and told them a good news.

The beauty is pregnant.

It happened that An Ning also felt a little uncomfortable these two days, so she asked the female doctor to take her pulse, and then she learned the second good news.

She is also pregnant.

After the news spread, the Song Mansion was completely alarmed, and the old lady brought all the women of the Song family to rush over, so there was the scene that Li Nuo saw now.

Seeing Li Nuo running into the room quickly, the old face of Wu Guanjia also showed a relieved smile.

The old Li family has been a single-line family for several generations, and now it has finally expanded.

The young lady and the princess are pregnant at the same time, and the female doctor also said that the young lady is pregnant with twins.

Twins?

Wu Guanjia seemed to remember something, and his face showed a look of astonishment.

He once spent twenty taels of silver to tell two fortunes for the young master on the street.

The fortune-teller said that the young lady would be pregnant with twins.

He also said that in addition to the young lady, the young master has several destined marriages.

At that time, the young master and the young mistress had never even held hands, and the young mistress would never allow the young master to take a concubine. The old man's words sounded like a fairy tale.

But today, his original predictions have all come true!

"Hiss!"

He took a breath and ran out of the Li Mansion.
