After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 165 Cherish
"Let me think about this matter again. I will leave this case here first." After thinking for a long time, Ye Qinghuai said.

Lin Yuxiu didn't say much.

Ye Qinghuai sized him up. Lin Yuxiu didn't change much from her memory, but he seemed to be a little quieter.

She restrained her fierce aura before, and asked him kindly: "Lin Qing, how does it feel after entering the court as an official?"

Lin Yuxiu looked up at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes were very clear, but for some reason, Ye Qinghuai always felt that he was a little alienated from her.

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the DPRK and China are cumbersome, and everything cannot be accomplished overnight. It is very different from what I imagined." Lin Yuxiu answered very honestly.

Ye Qinghuai asked again: "Is it going well in the Ministry of Punishment? Did someone make things difficult for you?"

Lin Yuxiu paused, shook his head and said, "No one embarrasses my minister."

"Really? I heard that you are often in charge of some tricky things in the criminal department, and you are often busy late at night by yourself."

Lin Yuxiu smiled lightly, and said: "The sage said that when the heavens are about to place great responsibilities on people, they must first work hard on their minds and muscles. That's just the tempering that humble ministers should suffer."

There was an arrogance unique to young people hanging between his brows.

Ye Qinghuai nodded in satisfaction.

He was still the Lin Yuxiu she knew.

"Get down to business. Du Zhengen's case will be tried in heaven later. How are you preparing?"

It has been three months since Du Jing was dismissed and imprisoned by Ye Qinghuai in West City. The case of Qin Baozhu being tortured to death and the case of Du Jing exchanging death row prisoners have finally ushered in the final trial.

After Ye Qinghuai appointed Lin Yuxiu as the Minister of Justice to preside over the case, he was worried about his personal safety, so he asked Tao Yuan to send someone to secretly protect him.

It was also because of this that she knew how hard Lin Yuxiu had been on the road to adjudicating the case for more than two months.

Even though the case was decided by the emperor under the eyes of everyone, there is still some difference in the verdict whether it is the death penalty for one person or the beheading of the whole family.

Lin Yuxiu was stubbornly resisted by his opponent.It is not uncommon for suspects to remain silent during interrogation, and for coordinators to be turned away when they are interrogated.

In addition, his strategy theory in the palace examination also brought him many enemies he had never met.

Not only Gu Shihai, but also some old men in the criminal department and colleagues who were jealous of him also secretly tripped him up.

Fortunately, as Lin Yuxiu himself said, he didn't complain or retreat at all, he took over these things one by one, and completed them seamlessly.

Even Gu Shihai once called him half-complimentary and half-annoyed that the new No. [-] scholar was a tough guy.

"Your Majesty, the confession and evidence are complete. The guilt of Du Jing and Du Zhengen is clear. There shouldn't be any changes in the trial." Lin Yuxiu replied.

Ye Qinghuai thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "This case has been dragged on for a long time, and it can't be delayed any longer. You should focus on this case first, and you must handle it cleanly, so that everyone will be convinced in the courtroom. As for the case at the warehouse, don't worry about it, I have my own arrangements."

Ye Qinghuai wanted to pull Lin Yuxiu out of the grievances between Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai, Lin Yuxiu also understood, but he didn't appreciate it.

"Wei Chen thinks that if His Majesty wants to investigate the Cangchang case to the end, no one is more suitable than Wei Chen." Lin Yuxiu bowed his head.

"Why?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"This case involves high-ranking officials and involves the country. In terms of specifications, only the Criminal Ministry and the Yushitai are qualified to hear it. The Yushitai is still in the process of restructuring, with few soldiers and no energy to try such a major case. Most of the Criminal Ministry Gu Ge's manpower, if Gu Ge is the presiding judge of the case, it is inevitable that he will be sentenced to a heavier punishment. And the Weichen is a new official, has no party affiliation, and is in the name of being outspoken and dare to advise. Therefore, Weichen is The best candidate." Lin Yuxiu replied.

He's right.If it is tried by him, no matter it is Ye Qinghuai, the courtiers, or even the common people, they will subconsciously feel that the result of the trial is fair.

But Ye Qinghuai didn't want to push him into the core area of ​​the court so quickly.

She was afraid that the storm of power would corrode his innocent heart.

She understands Lin Yuxiu's ambition and appreciates his talent.If there is still hope for the long-standing abuses of the Dajing court to be eradicated, then Lin Yuxiu must be the knife that cuts flesh and gouges sores.

So she cherishes this knife very much, for fear that he will break it and destroy it somewhere else.

The monarch and his subjects were relatively silent for a long time, and Ye Qinghuai suddenly asked a question that she wanted to ask before but forgot to ask: "Do you know how your father Lin Motang died?"

Lin Yuxiu didn't expect the emperor to ask him such a question suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "My father was punished by Emperor Xingrui and died outside the palace gate."

"Do you know why he was sentenced to the Great Penalty?" Ye Qinghuai asked again.

Lin Yuxiu's face darkened, and he said: "When my father passed away, I was only five years old, and I don't have much memory. I don't know the whole story. I only know that he offended Tian Yan."

It seems that Lin Yuxiu doesn't know what Lin Motang said to anger Emperor Xingrui.

Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said: "It is recorded in the records of the official historian that your father was sentenced to death because he mentioned the old affairs of the King of Beidu. Not only that, Emperor Xingrui was very angry and ordered your descendants of the Lin family to die. You are not allowed to be an official in the court."

This time it was Lin Yuxiu who showed surprise.

Ye Qinghuai noticed that when he heard the words "King of the Northern Capital", there was a trace of panic on his face.

Lin Yuxiu had also heard some rumors that the descendants of the Lin family were not allowed to be officials, but when Chun Wei released the list, he thought that those old things in the previous dynasty were just groundless rumors.

However, at this moment, after learning from the emperor that there was indeed such a thing, he couldn't help questioning his identity as the number one scholar and minister of punishment.

Seeing his puzzled look, Ye Qinghuai said: "I burned that page of historical materials."

Lin Yuxiu's face was even more shocked now.

He looked at Ye Qinghuai with disbelief all over his face, as if he was asking: "How can Your Majesty do such nonsense?"

Ye Qinghuai did not waver in the slightest, her eyes were firm and she showed no regrets at all.

"I need you, the court needs you, and the country needs you. This is more important than any rules or filial piety. Only God knows this, you know me, and you don't have to take it to heart." Ye Qinghuai comforted After finishing him, he said seriously, "You only need to do the two things you promised me—don't let me down, and don't let the people in the world down, then you will be worthy of the world."

After finishing speaking, she closed the dossier about Cangchang in her hand, and said, "Lin Qing, I have high hopes for you and cherish you very much, so you should also cherish yourself."

Lin Yuxiu's heart felt hot, and he knelt down and said, "This humble minister accepts the decree."

In the brightly lit Qinxian Hall, he seemed to be able to hear his powerful heartbeat.
