The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 778
After the court was over, everyone left with a lot of worries.They never thought that such a thing would happen when Tianhua was in the Central Plains.So much so that senior officials at the ministry level were implicated, which made them feel sorry for Li Huzi.

Soon, the news spread to the people, and the people were also talking about it.When they learned that even His Majesty the Emperor could not violate the law, they could only watch their confidants being punished as crimes, and they couldn't help being shocked.In their eyes, the emperor has the power to decide the rise and fall of the world with one word.Unexpectedly, Tianhua's most supreme thing is not the emperor, but the law.

For a while, the common people had a new understanding of Tianhua's law, a law that even the emperor could not violate, so they, the common people, had no reason to violate it.On the contrary, a powerful and majestic law can protect everyone and prevent their own rights from being violated.Unconsciously, the people began to popularize the law on their own, and the effect was even more effective than the various methods adopted by the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda

At the same time, there was a wave of turmoil in the officialdom, and many people returned to the study of the law, for fear that they would violate that regulation.Otherwise, once offended, there is really no place to intercede.

Lin Yifan hadn't thought about the popularization of the law among the people, but when he thought of the price he had paid, he was heartbroken.

Soon, in late September, after a rigorous trial by the Ministry of Justice, Li Huzi was still sentenced to death and should be executed in late October, which means that Li Huzi only had one month to live.

When the verdict was sent to the imperial court, Lin Yifan read it for a whole day, but he still refused to put pen to paper.However, according to regulations, if you stay in China for more than half a month, it will automatically take effect, and there is no need for imperial approval.As for major decisions, the review must be completed on the same day and must not exceed the day.Regarding Li Huzi's case, it can already be regarded as a major case, and Lin Yifan had to complete the instructions on the same day.This is not only to prevent future emperors from slacking off, but also to improve administrative efficiency.

Naturally, Lin Yifan could refute, but the number of times of refusing was limited to three times, which were submitted to the Ministry of Justice, the Cabinet, and the Overwatch Council for counter-examination.If the three parties agree, even the emperor cannot change the outcome.

The key now is that Li Huzi has voluntarily admitted his guilt, making it impossible for everyone to excuse him.It can only be delayed for a month at most, and Li Huzi's fate cannot be changed at all.

In the end, Lin Yifan, who was selfish, still drew criticism on the verdict and sent it back to the Ministry of Justice for retrial.

After more than ten days, the Ministry of Justice once again submitted the retrial judgment to the imperial court.Lin Yifan refuted it again and handed it over to the cabinet for trial.

After several days of investigation, the cabinet sent the investigation report to the imperial court, and the original judgment was still upheld.Lin Yifan still criticized and transferred the case to the Supervisory Yuan for investigation.

More than ten days later, the Overwatch Council submitted an inspection letter, agreeing with the decision made by the Ministry of Justice and the cabinet, and there was nothing inappropriate during the trial.

On this day, Lin Yifan had to paint vermilion heavily on the verdict.

Li Huzi's death penalty is a certainty, and there is no possibility of overturning it.When the notice was issued, the people not only lamented that the Minister's death was not worthwhile, but also deeply felt the strictness of the law.Even if the entire court is defending this minister, it is still difficult to undo his death penalty in the end.

At this time, there were only a few days left before Li Huzi's execution.The people in the court who were already exhausted could only go to the prison to visit Li Huzi and say goodbye to him for the last time.Lin Yifan also went to prison, and drank with him to reminisce about the past.

Li Huzi had already taken life and death lightly at this time, with so many confidantes and friends bidding him farewell, this life is considered to be without regrets.The only thing he regrets is that he could not die on the battlefield, but died in the execution ground, which made him feel very uncomfortable. If he knew today, if he had chosen to join the army, it would be great.

Lin Yifan sighed for a while when he heard his words. Back then, because of the lack of talents, he had to place Li Huzi among the civil servants, and entrusted him with the full power of military and horse logistics.After that, as the number of talents continued to increase, it was not that he hadn't thought about transferring Li Huzi from the Ministry of Military Affairs.It's just that Li Huzi has worked in the Ministry of Military Affairs for many years and is already familiar with various affairs.If it is transferred away, it will be extremely unfavorable for Tianhua who has been in a state of war all year round.What's more, the position of Minister of Military Affairs is already regarded as an extremely human minister. Even if he wants to be transferred, where can he be transferred?You can't demote him to serve as a general, right?

"Huzi, do you hate me?" Lin Yifan said with a dejected look on his face, "I thought I could give you a successful career, but unexpectedly, I ruined your life in the end."

"Why did your Majesty say that?" Li Huzi chuckled, "It is entirely thanks to His Majesty that I have the status I have today. It is too late for me to be grateful to Your Majesty, so how can I resent Your Majesty? This is what I will do. It's self-inflicted, and I can't control my own mouth, so I deserve this kind of trouble. Your Majesty, the minister can now be ranked among the top ministers, and it is enough to have everything that one can expect from famous nobles, fields and houses, and to benefit future generations. Even if he dies, the minister will not Sorry."

Lin Yifan sighed slightly, looked at Li Huzi, and said sternly, "Don't worry, I will take care of your family from now on, and will not let them be wronged."

Li Huzi suddenly knelt down on the ground, weeping, "Your Majesty, because of a slip of the tongue, your majesty was in danger of dying. Your majesty is magnanimous and doesn't care about it. I am ashamed. I can only repay your majesty's kindness in the next life."

The two chatted for half the night before Lin Yifan got up and left.

On the second day, a military message sent from Dongyang finally arrived in the capital and was delivered to Lin Yifan.

This letter was written by Niu Dali. In the letter, Niu Dali has completely captured Fusang Island and other islands, and unified Dongyang.But at the end of the letter, Niu Dali also reported to him the current situation of Huizi Zhaoming.

What shocked Lin Yifan was that Zhaoming Huizi was pregnant with Liujia. Before that, she lived in the palace and never showed up to cover up her pregnancy.Knowing that her belly is getting bigger and bigger recently, she announced the fact that she is pregnant.

This surprised Niu Dali who had just recovered Fusang, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Lin Yifan for confirmation.

Lin Yifan's scalp was tingling right now, and he hurriedly checked Zhaoming Huizi's pregnancy period, and found that she was pregnant in early February.It never occurred to him that when Huizi Zhaoming became the Emperor of Dongyang, under her begging, he was soft-hearted and didn't take protective measures, but in the end he was really tricked.Now I have been pregnant for more than eight months, and I will give birth in less than two months.

Lin Yifan was eagerly looking forward to the imminent birth of a child, but at the same time he didn't know how to tell the news.Whether it is to the harem or to the subjects of the world, an explanation must be given.
