The seven-day period has just arrived, and this day is early.

All the ministers gathered.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xia glanced at it and asked, "What about Li Chen, the secretary of Dali Temple?" Why didn't you go to court? ”

No one responded.

"Pass my will, go and see why Li Qing's family doesn't go to court!"

Then, Emperor Xia looked at You Jie again.

"You Aiqing, Lu An's case of rebellion, has there been a result?"

Yusuke staggered to his feet.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is fortunate to have fulfilled his mission, and after seven consecutive days of review, there are now results."

Speaking of which, Yusuke passed a copy of the fold through the hands of the eunuch and presented it to the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest witness testimony collected by the old minister, as well as all the records of the Dali Temple when the case was first tried.

As for how to decide in the end, please let Your Majesty decide for himself! ”

Emperor Xia picked up the materials on the imperial case and unfolded them to look at them.

"Someone!"

"Tell me the will!"

"Go and summon Li Chen, the secretary of Dali Temple, again!"

"Be sure to capture it as soon as possible and bring it to the temple!"

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they were all shocked.

The second prince, Xia Chun, and the prime minister, Zhao You, glanced at each other, and then quickly lowered their heads.

Emperor Xia closed the fold, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face sank like water, and only occasionally glanced at Xia Chun's side, intentionally or unintentionally.

Noticing Emperor Xia's eyes, Xia Chun was even more shocked.

Soon, the eunuch returned.

"Your Majesty, it's too late for the slave to go."

"Just now, Lord Li of Dali Temple was found and hanged in Dali Temple."

Emperor Xia was shocked when he heard this, "What about his family? ”

"According to the servants of Lord Li's family, two days ago, Lord Li secretly sent his family out of the capital, and now he has disappeared ......."

When Xia Chun heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Xia's eyes closed slightly, and the ministers in the palace were silent.

After a while, Emperor Xia threw the materials presented by You Jie to Xia Chun, the second prince closest to him.

"I'm a little tired, Emperor, it's up to you to review it for me."

"Yes, Father."

Xia Chun couldn't wait to take the materials, open them and look at them.

However, after only reading the first page above, Xia Chun's face changed drastically, and he immediately fell to his knees.

"Father—"

"How?" Emperor Xia opened his mouth coldly, his expression was neither happy nor sad.

Xia Chun knelt in front of the imperial steps, cold sweat dripping, and his brain was racing rapidly.

"Father, the son thinks that Lu An's case is really not suitable to continue to be handled."

"Why?" Emperor Xia asked again.

"Since the father transferred the case to the Criminal Department for review, the officials who had tried the case in Dali Temple have been killed one after another, and even their families have not been spared."

"Not only that, but even the fate of the two Raksi who first reported Lu An is the same."

"It is rumored that this case is very likely that someone deliberately used this case to suppress someone, and even killed many people for this."

"Therefore, Erchen is worried that if this case continues to be investigated, maybe more people will die."

"Rather than this, it is better to close the case here, so as not to continue to expand the situation and endanger the court."

After saying this, Xia Chun secretly gave Prime Minister Zhao You a look.

Zhao You understood, and hurriedly stood up and agreed, "Your Majesty, the old minister also agrees with His Royal Highness's proposal." ”

"The cause of this case was caused by two light smoke pavilion priests."

"Lao Chen felt that this case was a bit ridiculous at the beginning, Lu An was just a cheap slave in the Qingyan Pavilion."

"At the time of the crime, this person had just regained his free body, what reason and ability did he have to rebel?"

"Now that I think about it, it should be the two plaintiffs who retaliated against Lu An out of personal grudges between them!"

"It's a pity, because of some interests involved, this case is getting bigger and bigger, in less than half a month, Dali Temple, up and down the Dali Temple, as many as a dozen officials died in vain, and even this morning even Dali Temple Qing Li, the dignified court Sanpin members also committed suicide in fear of crime."

"The old minister is worried that if he continues to investigate, the consequences will become more and more out of control as His Royal Highness said, maybe in the end, all the officials of the Dali Temple Yamen may be involved."

"In that case, from top to bottom, wouldn't Dali Temple become an empty ya?"

"Therefore, the old minister suggests, as His Royal Highness said, that Lu An and others, who are innocently implicated, be released immediately and the case will be closed as soon as possible."

Xia Chun and Zhao You spoke one after another, and some officials below echoed one after another.

At this moment, Lei Jin, the general of Zhengzhen, stood up.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks it can't be!"

"Jin'er!" When Jing'an Hou heard this, he immediately wanted to stop it.

After all, the case is over, and for his Lei family, it is already the best outcome, and he doesn't want his son to cause more trouble.

It's a pity that Lei Jin didn't pay attention to him, and continued, "Your Majesty, in order to try this case, Dali Temple forcibly put Lu An in prison and tortured him in every way.

Now that it has been reviewed by Lord Shang Shuyou of the Criminal Department, and it has been stated that there has been a result, it is the best time for the imperial court to clear Lu An's grievances, how can this case be easily and hastily closed?

If you do that, it will inevitably make the people feel cold, and it will not be fair to Lu An himself! ”

After Lei Jin finished speaking, Zhao You continued to argue, "General Lei's words, the old man can fully understand.

After all, when Dali Temple tried the case at the beginning, it also pointed the finger at General Lei, intending to pull the general into the water.

However, now that Lord Li of Dali Temple has committed suicide in fear of sin, and people die like lights going out, why should General Lei be aggressive again?

Does General Mo Feilei really want to see the Dali Temple finally empty and the situation continue to deteriorate?

As a member of the imperial court, General Lei should put loyalty first.

If this matter continues to expand, causing His Majesty to be sad and angry, in case the dragon is sick, how can General Lei bear it? ”

"This-" Lei Jin was full of dissatisfaction, but how could his mouth be better than the head of the civil officials?

The controversy has come to an end for the time being.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xia slowly opened his eyes, took out a fold, and handed it to the second prince Xia Chun again.

"Huang'er, this is a copy of Gang'er's submission to Beijing before the Criminal Department reviewed the case, you can help me read it to the secretaries."

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!

Xia Chun's hand shook when he heard this, and the expressions of the ministers in the palace were also extremely exciting.

Xia Chun didn't dare to disobey the order, slowly opened the recital, only glanced at it, and then his eyes widened.

So, there are only four words on it!

Seeing those four words, Xia Chun was overjoyed and immediately read them out in public.

"King Sui's case of Lu An is only four words: ridiculous!"

After reading it, Xia Chun respectfully presented the fold to the imperial case again.

"Huh,"

Emperor Xia chuckled lightly and stroked the twist.

"Unexpectedly, not only did someone accuse him of rebellion, but even alarmed the King of Suizhou who was far away."

"However, as Gang'er said, I also think this case is ridiculous!"

"Not only is the case absurd, but the trial process is absurd, and the people who were implicated and died in vain are even more absurd!"

"In my opinion, those officials who died in Dali Temple, no matter what the reason, died unjustly at all!"

"Leading high-ranking officials Houlu, would they believe that a mere Qinglou priest would plot rebellion? Damn it! ”

"Alas!"

"It's time for it to end."

"As Zhao Xiang said, I don't want to see it, the Yamen of Dali Temple is really empty on the day!"

Emperor Xia set the tone, even if Lei Jin was dissatisfied, he was helpless.

Xia Chun and the others immediately shouted long live.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The septuagenarian Yusuke also knelt on the ground with him.

Emperor Xia hurriedly ordered someone to step forward to help.

However, Yusuke waved his hand and continued to kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been an official for 50 years, and he has been in charge of the Criminal Department of the former dynasty since he was 35 years old, and it has been more than 30 years now."

"Your Majesty does not think that the old minister was loyal to the previous dynasty, and still after the founding of the Great Xia, he continued to entrust the ministers with important responsibilities, and ordered the ministers to take over the charge of the criminal department, and the old ministers were grateful to Dade, and for more than 30 years, he never dared to slack off."

"However, the old minister will eventually become old, and he will no longer have the energy to serve His Majesty!"

"You Aiqing-" Emperor Xia's heart was sour, and just about to persuade, You Jie spoke again.

"Lao Chen has been obsessed with the law all his life, and his heart has no distractions."

"I am only willing to use the Great Xia Criminal Law in my hands to serve Your Majesty and serve the living beings in the world."

"However, the old minister has always been foolish and unable to be flexible."

"Lu An's case is the last case that Lao Chen has tried in his life, and it is also the most satisfactory case."

"The old minister is worthy of the sky, the earth, and the king!"

"Your Majesty, cherish!"

"Old minister, farewell!"

After that, I saw Yusuke have an indifferent smile on his face, and he kowtowed to the ground!

In an instant, after a bang, Yusuke's old body slowly softened.

In place, blood splattered.
