The court had been abuzz with controversy since the morning.

Most of the laws they are using now were inherited by Nan Chen. Firstly, it is for convenience, and secondly, it is true that they cannot find better laws for a while.

"The laws formulated by Nan Chen were not what they are today at the beginning. They were gradually modified to what we see today. But obviously, they do not apply to us in Da'an."

Bai Yunliang stood in front, talking to Chang Yuan on the dragon throne.

"Da'an has just been established, wars are going on everywhere, and there are a lot of people on the move. If we are not strict, there will be chaos. I ask everyone to bear the blame and sit together instead! Otherwise, there will be no less things today!"

After saying that, he bowed his hands and stepped back.

Ning Changrong only recently began to study Nanchen's laws.

Originally, one person committed the crime and the other was responsible, and his family would not be implicated. The current controversy stems from an espionage case that occurred not long ago.

The spy was sent by Liu Jianxing, who settled in Jingzhou in the name of seeking refuge with his relatives.

After settling in, he searched everywhere for the secret workshop that had been moved from Taoyuan Village.

Ma Honglin made a huge noise in the south with gunpowder. Even fools knew that it was not difficult to make gunpowder in unlimited quantities. Everyone became very afraid and sent many people over to find the gunpowder formula.

They knew that gunpowder was important, and Chang Yuan knew even more that the matter had been sealed for a long time, and nothing could be found out at all.

Although nothing has been discovered, their whereabouts have been exposed.

The relative of the family that the spy defected to was also found out and didn't know anything about it.

It is because of this incident that this discussion originated.

Some people felt that although the other party was a relative of the spy, he knew nothing about the matter and did not help the spy to steal secrets, so he should not be implicated.

The group headed by Bai Yunliang felt that he should be severely punished.

Ning Changrong stood there and said nothing. The spy went to the city to seek refuge with his relatives. In fact, his sponsor was that relative.

If something happens to the person you protect, you will definitely be punished.

However, there are still a small number of people who argue that the group of relatives should not be implicated.

The reason why these people worked so hard was because the relative involved was a general in the army.

If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely not be worthy of discussion in court.

We argued all morning, but nothing came out of the discussion. The father-in-law said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.

Bai Yunliang also used this to exert his influence, hoping to leverage the law and show his personal power.

Ning Changrong was so hungry that he was dizzy. If he had stood behind, he could have found a corner to sneak some dry food, but now he was standing under Chang Yuan's nose, and there was no place to hide if he wanted to sneak some food.

Chang Yuan would be very cautious when it came to matters in the military. At present, neither side could convince the other party, so Chang Yuan could only announce his temporary withdrawal from the court.

"Master Ning, come with me."

Hearing this, many people looked at Ning Changrong's portrait with envy.

Bai Yunliang glanced at Ning Changrong vaguely.

Ning Changrong was speechless. He was so hungry that his stomach was pounding. Why did he still stay and work overtime?

When he followed Changrong to the place, he found that food was already placed on the table.

Seeing his surprised look, Chang Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised? I am not that black-hearted landlord who only knows how to send people without providing food. Let's discuss it after eating."

Normally, Ning Changrong would have politely declined again and again, but today he was really hungry.

Not caring about the person opposite him at all, he picked up his chopsticks and started cooking under the surprised looks of the eunuchs and maids.It wasn't until I felt full that I touched my belly and put down my chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm really hungry." Normally I should have gotten off work long ago, but today I insisted on discussing it for half an hour longer.

Chang Yuan saw that the other party was eating so deliciously, so he couldn't help but eat a little more.

"I know you're hungry. I can hear your stomach beating even when I'm sitting in front of you." Chang Yuan said with a smile.

The eunuch and the maid could only sigh once again, Lord Ning is indeed in the heart of the emperor.

Then the two came to the study.

Chang Yuan sat on the dragon chair and pointed to the seat below, asking Ning Changrong to sit down.

"Do you know what I asked you to do?"

Ning Changrong thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty wants to ask me about spies, right?"

"Tell me, what do you think?" Chang Yuan thinks that Ning Changrong is good at everything, but he is too cautious and usually does not get involved in such controversial matters.

Ning Changrong thought for a while, it was difficult to talk about this matter, and it would be easy to offend people if he did, so he said cautiously: "I don't have any ideas about this matter."

"No, you have to tell me today." Chang Yuan said forcefully.

"Don't worry about offending others. I'm here to support you. What are you afraid of?" he added.

Seeing that he could not escape, Ning Changrong reluctantly held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since you know what I am thinking, you still deliberately embarrass me."

After thinking about it, he said, "Now we follow the laws of Nanchen. Logically speaking, we should act according to the laws. Although there is no joint sitting system, General Zhu's wife did act as a guarantee for the spy. Logically speaking, he should be implicated. .but,"

Ning Changrong said again:
"General Zhu's wife really doesn't know anything about this. General Zhu has made great achievements in the military and is still fighting on the front line. If his family is dealt with, it may make General Zhu think too much, and it may affect the war ahead. "

Chang Yuan tapped the table with his fingers, "So your opinion is that we won't deal with it and won't be implicated?"

Ning Changrong shook his head, "Since you are willing to guarantee the other party, you must bear responsibility. Even if you don't know, you can't say you have no responsibility."

Chang Yuan was a little annoyed: "What's the difference between you saying it for a long time and not saying it at all?"

Ning Changrong chuckled and said, "I'm confused too. That's all I can think of."

Chang Yuan took a deep breath and pointed at the door, "Get out."

Ning Changrong immediately raised his hands in salute and slipped out.

Chang Yuan treats the military generals very favorably. In addition to his deep relationship with the military generals, there is also a reason why he needs to rely on them now.

……

Ning Changrong originally thought that the matter would be resolved in two or three days, but he did not expect that the dispute would eventually reach the point where the law would really need to be revised.

When Ning Changrong heard that Chang Yuan wanted him to preside over the revision of the law while discussing matters in the court, Ning Changrong was stunned.

"Your Majesty, I have never done this before?" He subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Chang Yuan said unhappily: "I have never been an emperor. Everyone has to learn. Okay, don't refuse. As a dignified right servant of Shangshu, I have been in the court all day long, but I don't know what's going on in my mind." What are you thinking? I order you to come up with a charter every month. If you can't come up with it, I will punish you."

Of the two ministers, one was too greedy and the other was too easy-going. If they were combined, Chang Yuan would not have such a headache.

Ning Changrong accepted the job with a grimace.

Due to the fighting on the front line and the fact that General Zhu's family did not know anything about it, Chang Yuan did not punish his family in the end, but the results of General Zhu's front-line fighting were also wiped out.
