After all, no one's power in the court can be compared to Wei Mingxu now. Once they offend Wei Mingxu, no one can protect them, so it is better to follow Wei Mingxu's mind to investigate the case. Anyway, it was someone else who died like this, and it would not be their turn to be the Lin family.

Wei Mingxu made this move just to test the courtiers in the court. The Lin family had already seen through Wei Mingxu's intentions, and if anyone dared to go against Wei Mingxu's intentions, Wei Mingxu would definitely refuse to give up.

And Prince Yi's Mansion may still have the ability to compete with King Jing's Mansion, but the Lin family doesn't have it at all. Therefore, the Lin family didn't want to be involved, so they only closed the door and investigated the case wholeheartedly.

Those battles will wait until the court, and let Prince Yi's Mansion and King Jing's Mansion fight in the open. No matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with their Lin family. The Lin family is doing this above board and conscientiously, and don't let people catch the slightest mistake or omission, which is enough.

Regarding the corruption case, Wei Mingxu advocated that the master should be held accountable and lenient. The Metropolitan Procuratorate drafted a decree to destroy the Liao family, and all the family wealth was confiscated.

As for the Li family, it is just to order them to return the silver taels that are greedy for ink on time, and it will be counted. Wei Mingxu, the judge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, felt that he was still satisfied, and did not say much, but it caused a lot of discussion among the in-laws of the Liao family in the court.

The old departments of the Liao family in the past all stood up to speak for the Liao family. Count Liao Qing's contributions and exploits to the imperial court over the years. begged the emperor to be lenient and benevolent, remembering that Liao Qing was also a member of the imperial court in the past. He worked diligently in the cabinet and took care of the household for the emperor and the regent, and there was nothing wrong, and I hope the emperor can deal with it leniently.

Wei Mingxu did not say anything about these disputes in the court. I only watched coldly as the Lin family fought with the old ministers of the Liao family for the sake of the Jingwang Mansion. That look, it seems to follow the Jingwang Mansion.

But Li Miaosheng was silent, on the one hand, to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, he was also in it, which was really inconvenient to speak.

The Seventh Prince, the Auxiliary Prince, even asked for an edict to follow Prince Yi to the court today, kneeling in front of Wei Mingxu and crying and begging Wei Mingxu to let his uncle go.

When there was a lot of trouble in the court, Prince Yi finally spoke, after all, Liao Qingqing was his brother-in-law.

Liao Qing also went to Prince Yi's mansion and begged Prince Yi's princess. And Prince Yi, an old antique, no matter who in the court has to give him three points of face. Today, he stood up to speak to Liao Qing, but the Lin family didn't dare to say more.

After all, the Lin family dared to argue with those ministers in the court, but Prince Yi was also the person Wei Mingxu admired the most in the past. They are also brothers in the family, if they quarrel with the righteous prince. In the case of not knowing Wei Mingxu's mind, in case Wei Mingxu values his brother more. Isn't that a thankless effort, not only offending Prince Yi, but also not pleasing Prince Jing.

Wei Mingxu looked at Prince Yi, he was also the only person here who was qualified to let himself speak, now that he had already come forward, Wei Mingxu finally stood up and said to him: "Prince Yi has just listened to the book of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Liao family's greed for ink, the evidence is conclusive, do you want to cheat like this, just to protect the Liao family and ignore the royal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Prince Yi looked at Wei Mingxu and said, "Old fourteen, this king is over sixty years old. I have long ignored the government and politics, and I have no intention of arguing with you about something. The king will not say anything about those scenes. You ask yourself, what is the difference between what the Liao family has done and what the Li family has done over the years? The Li family can give up if they return the silver taels. Why can't the Liao family?

Moreover, Liao Qing has taken care of the household department for the Great Zhou Dynasty all these years, whether it is raising grain and grass during the war, or rescuing the people during the famine, he has done his best to take care of the affairs of the court in an orderly manner.

He is also old now, and he really can't afford this position. Lao Fourteen only dismissed him from office for the sake of his former exploits for the soldiers and civilians of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even if he was imprisoned in the palace. Why do you have to kill them all?

The royal law is nothing more than human affection, since you say that I bend the law for personal gain. So today, this king will rely on the old and sell the old, please sell me this favor, and the Liao family's greedy silver will be made up in full. Just spare his life. ”

Wei Mingxu was unmoved, and said, "If this king spares him like this." In the future, people in the court will think that after greedy for ink, they only need to pay back the silver taels. I don't have to pay for my life at all, don't you treat the royal law of my Great Zhou Dynasty as nothing?"

Prince Yi watched Wei Mingxu harden up, and he was also unyielding. Even if everyone is afraid of King Jing's Mansion and everyone is attached to Wei Mingxu, he Wei Mingyi is not afraid of him.

only said: "If the regent has to be like this, then the Li family and the Liao family should be beheaded at the same time." Only then can I correct the royal law of my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

It's been a long time since anyone dared to contradict himself in public like this, Wei Mingxu twisted his eyebrows and said, "Fang Cai, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has already said it." At the beginning, the Liao family was the main culprit, and Li Zian was just an accomplice. Li Zi'an did not personally participate, and as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he did have the crime of not investigating and covering up.

The emperor is lenient and benevolent to his master, and lenient to his obedience. That's why there is a lenient policy towards the Li family, and it is also because Li Zi'an is dead, if Li Zi'an is still alive, he will naturally be severely punished by the law now. If a person dies, he will be destroyed, which is the criminal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

Prince Yi saw that Wei Mingxu didn't let him do this at all, and he was already faintly angry.

Wei Yanxian, who was sitting on the throne, was happy to watch the play, and seeing that they were almost in trouble, Wei Yanxian finally opened his mouth and said: "I feel that the verdict of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very fair, and the Liao family is extremely evil, and it is not an exaggeration to behead the Liao family." ”

Prince Yi listened to Wei Yanxian's words, his face was angry, and he was about to open his mouth to refute it.

Wei Yanxian turned to Wei Mingxu and said, "Uncle Fourteen is happy to have a noble son, and this matter should have been celebrated by the whole world. After the first lunar month, I thought that I should tell the world about the fourteenth uncle's happy son. ”

Wei Mingxu listened to Wei Yanxian's inexplicable words, and also frowned, only to hear Wei Yanxian continue: "I feel that I haven't given amnesty to the world for a long time. Now that the regent has a son, it is a happy event. It's better to give amnesty to the world once and for all. It can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the little son of the fourteenth uncle. It also let the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty know that the little son of the fourteenth uncle is recreated. Benefit the people of the world. ”

When Wei Mingxu heard Wei Yanxian's words, he had no way to refute them. If you can summon the world and give amnesty to the world, it will indeed be very beneficial to your future.

As soon as Prince Yi heard Wei Yanxian's words, he was just raiding the family, but he could spare the lives of the Liao family. That's enough for him. The Liao family's life is just a little more difficult in the future, and they can still subsidize one or two.
