When Liu Ji followed Gao Lishi into the main hall of Qinzheng Building, a round of discussion had just ended, and everyone turned their heads to look at this famous celebrity in the capital.

"Captain Guoyi, Liu Ji, see the driver." Colliers walked to the front of the emperor and called his name loudly.

"Guo Yi Du Wei Chen Liu Ji see Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven Wan'an."

Liu Jigong saluted, but after a while, he didn't call out.

Li Longji looked at this young man with complicated eyes, dressed in martial arts clothes, with a bun on his head, neither wearing a scarf nor a crown, it was difficult for people to believe that he had just turned seventeen years old, and he had not yet reached the age of crowning.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ji straightened up, his eyes were level with the other party, and there was no cowardice or dodging at all.

"Are you healed?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the head of the Shang Pharmacy said that the minister is no longer in trouble, and he just needs to recuperate."

"Then what did you do, go to the prison of Dali Temple to recuperate?"

Li Heng, the prince sitting at the top of the hall, listened to this answer, and felt very bad in his heart, he was both a parent and a prince, and if he made a little mistake, even if he had nothing to do with it, he would be scolded bloody, this kid is good, if such a big thing happened, the Son of Heaven was intent on exculpating it, but should you do it so obviously?

In and out of the words, he is reminding the ministers that this kid has just made a great achievement, and he has not been rewarded yet!

"The minister knows that he is wrong." Liu Ji bowed his head and replied.

"Wrong? It's amazing, you still know that you are wrong, you Liu Wulang is so majestic, single-handedly broke into the imperial city, brought out a felon, no one dared to stop him, even my Yulinwei didn't dare to grab it, and now it is rumored that who else can stop you in this Chang'an City. ”

"If the minister has done something wrong, please punish His Majesty." Liu Ji looks honest and teachable.

Li Longji snorted coldly: "What about people? ”

"Dead."

"You killed it?"

"Yes, Kechen did it as a last resort at his request."

Li Longji glanced at him strangely: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"It is true that there is such a thing, he shouted in front of the eighth aunt's spirit to admit that he was guilty, that he was innocent, and that he should be disposed of, and everyone present heard this, Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qiuguo, Mrs. Qin's family, clan brothers Yang Quan, Yang Qi, Princess Hezheng and Attached Ma Liutan, etc., Your Majesty can call them to ask and know."

Li Longji turned his head to look at Gao Lishi, who had a strange expression, but still nodded affirmatively.

"Why are you doing this?"

"The minister was not angry for a while, and he couldn't suppress his temperament."

"Yang Guozhong has an old grudge against you?"

"No, the minister is in Anxi, and I don't know him."

"Then you're not angry."

Liu Ji squeezed out a sad and indignant expression and arched his hand and said.

"When the minister was recuperating from his injuries, he suddenly heard about Mrs. Qin, she is the godfather of the minister's wife, and she can be regarded as the minister's parent, the parent is in trouble, and the minister is difficult to sit idly by, so he failed to suppress the fire, the minister knows that he is wrong, please punish His Majesty."

Li Longji didn't believe in this reason, and the same was true for the crown prince, King Shou and the prime ministers, but at this time they all breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how ridiculous the reason was, there must be one, this is the rule.

"Drawing a sword for your relatives is the style of the ancients, but you are a general, not a ranger, no military discipline and national law can tolerate you to be presumptuous, I was still discussing with them Yang Guozhong's crime just now, he poisoned the minister with lynching, and the political hall sentenced him to autumn execution, you killed him by lynching, what crime do you think you should be?"

Liu Ji raised his head in amazement, he really didn't expect this change: "The minister he poisoned was also about prison?" ”

"Not really."

"The minister is different from him, the minister went to Dali Temple just to question his guilt, and saw that he had a sense of repentance, so he brought people out, his death was completely voluntary, but he didn't dare to kill himself, so the minister helped, even if he took 10,000 steps back and said, the minister was lynched and a prisoner, how should he be punished according to the law?"

Li Longji was choked by his resignation, and he couldn't answer for a while, and Chen Xilie was in the center for a long time, and he had seen and heard a lot, and he said.

"There is no precedent for this kind of situation, but during the Yifeng period, there were judges who whipped prisoners to death in prison and demoted them to three levels to retain.

Old fox, this is the voice of everyone present, knowing that the Son of Heaven intends to protect him, he really has to cite scriptures as circumstantial evidence, this sycophant skill can indeed be regarded as perfect, Li Longji looked at his son noncommittally.

"Are all the political affairs halls unanimous?"

Li Mao looked around at the prime ministers, and Ge Shuhan replied first: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"The minister agrees with what Ling Gong said." Zhang Jun nodded.

"That's all it takes." Li Mao sighed in her heart, she could only blame Yang Guozhong for her bad luck and wanted to provoke him.

"The ministers unanimously thought that Liu Guoyi had privately led people out of prison, and he should be dismissed and questioned, thinking that he had made a meritorious contribution first, and the two contradicted each other, and they would not be investigated."

Li Longji finally looked at Li Heng.

"Does the prince have any objections?"

"The minister thinks, as his people say, the merits and demerits offset some excesses, for the crime of a autumn decision, the punishment is confiscated for the counterinsurgency, Liu Ji, you are still young, this lesson, you must keep it in mind."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Liu Ji had to sigh, the drama essence was all practiced, and he slaughtered Yang Guozhong with one sword, and the happiest person was this prince, but he still had to pretend to be in pain.

"You also agree, then let's draft it according to this meaning, Yang Guozhong is killing himself, and he still has a trace of remorse, so he won't implicate his family, and after the political hall goes down, polish it, and skip Liu Ji's matter."

"The ministers obeyed the order and retired."

Li Longji waved his hand and asked them all to retreat, Li Heng walked at the end, and when he stepped out of the palace gate, he glanced back, only to see the tall figure, standing still in place, and the young man was left alone by the Son of Heaven.

In the side hall on the first floor, Wang Yunxiu knelt there quietly, waiting for her fate, and a very slight footstep made her raise her head.

"You are the daughter of Wang Jiedu?"

"The folk girl is exactly." What entered her eyes was a slender figure, his face hidden in the shadows, but a head of gray hair allowed her to guess the identity of the comer.

"It's inconvenient to talk here, Lone will say it bluntly, today's matter, thanks to the help of the virtuous couple, thank you for the words later, Lone wants to say that I am afraid that I will wronged you for a while, your husband may have to be released, Lone will strive to install him in Anxi, although it is outside the moraine, it is also a place where it is easy to make meritorious contributions, but the days will be harder."

"The slave husband has thanked His Highness for his grace."

"If you have any other requirements, you might as well say so."

Wang Yunxiu shook her head: "No, the slave just wants to know, has my father's revenge been avenged?" ”

"This matter, it can only be said that people are not as good as heaven, so many people have worked hard, it is not as happy as a reckless man, let me tell you, Yang Guozhong was killed, and the murderer is the local magistrate you are going to, maybe this is a chance, but I don't know."

Li Heng smiled and turned to leave, Wang Yunxiu hadn't recovered from his words, and sat there blankly for a while, his heart fluctuating.
