Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"If Xia Yanru is really guilty, if he is tried again, his charges will not be cleared, and the end result will still be beheading for public display."

Lu Chen said firmly: "So, reopening the court is at most a waste of manpower, but if he is wronged, retrialing the case can save a good official for the court, and a good official can benefit all parties. Tens of thousands of people! It is clear at a glance which is more important!"

Hu Yan glanced at Lu Chen, snorted softly, and said:

"As I said below, there is a huge shortage of officials in the court, and there is a serious shortage of manpower in the court. There is no room for a waste of it! What's more, the evidence in this case is so strong that Xia Yan is definitely a scum who colluded with the demon queen's gangsters, corrupted the law, how could he send her to the court?" Precious manpower wasted on such scum?"

"What's more, Xia Yan is just a good official in the eyes of you, Lu Geshi. Except for you, no one doubts whether there is something tricky about this case."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately looked dissatisfied.

"What Hu Langzhong means is that I'm messing around?"

"That's what Lu told you yourself, but I didn't say that."

Hu Yan caressed the goatee, and said calmly: "I just think that in the future, if everyone is like Lu Geshi, just because of personal arbitrariness, he rashly re-examines the iron cases that have been concluded, acts so hastily, and despises the established law. The latecomers in the future will follow suit and use this excuse to prolong the life of the condemned criminals, and the court may be completely messed up."

Hearing what Hu Yan said, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Here's your chance!

Without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Hu Yan, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I am not an unreasonable troublemaker. Since I proposed a retrial for Xia Yan's case, I will naturally be responsible for this matter."

As he said that, he looked around, and then said to the empress firmly:

"Your Majesty, I would like to be Xia Yan's guarantor. If I don't know someone well, and Xia Yan really committed a heinous crime, I would like to ask you to be dismissed as an example to others!"

Hearing this, before Hu Yan opened his mouth, Qian Yiqian, Zheng Zhong and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

resignation

In other words, as long as there is no change in this iron case, this scourge will have to get out of the court on its own initiative?

There is such a good thing? !

Seeing that Lu Chen actually used his official status and future as a guarantee for Xia Yan, the empress's originally unhappy eyes finally showed a wave of fluctuation.

"Lu Aiqing, don't be impulsive."

She waved to Lu Chen.

"It's just an insignificant matter, there's no need to go to such a point for it, no matter what the outcome of this case is, Lu Aiqing, you are the supreme national soldier I have high hopes on, so don't say anything about asking yourself to be dismissed. ,after all……"

Speaking of this, she paused inexplicably, then hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said the words that made Lu Chen almost die on the spot: "No matter what, you are the most trusted person in me."

Hearing this, some courtiers looked at Lu Chen with envy and hatred.

The winner is like this, what can the husband ask for?

However, Lu Chen, the person involved, couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching wildly.

Nima! As for? !

You succeeded in seizing power. It is obvious that the Holy King of Cangming has made the greatest contribution. Did you make any contribution other than a beautiful sentence, but you confessed me like a white moonlight?

Is this fucking reasonable? !

This is unreasonable! Boss!

The Holy King of Cangming is your white moonlight, you are so kind to me, are you not afraid of thorns in his heart?

Don't forget that the Holy King Cangming is the real hero who made great contributions to the court, and the Cangming Army is your greatest support!

Lu Chen really couldn't figure it out, the empress thought that Mao treated him better than the Holy King Cangming, and because Mao was not afraid of the Holy King Cangming's displeasure, she turned her back directly.

But even though he couldn't figure it out, he still had to put on an appearance that the monarch and his ministers get along well.

"How can I be able to gain His Majesty's trust?!"

Lu Chen half-kneeled on the ground, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, and tried his best to show an inexplicably moved expression.

"Your Majesty's kindness to this humble official is as great as a mountain, and this humble official can't repay you. You can only do your best and do your best... in order to repay your majesty's kindness..."

MD, acting is so tiring...

While saying loyal words in order to maintain the character design, Lu Chen complained from the bottom of his heart.

When the atmosphere was getting better, he changed the subject and said: "However, Hu Langzhong's concerns just now are not unreasonable. If the case that has been filed can be retried so easily, once this case is opened, it will definitely bury a lot of hidden dangers for the future. , That's why Weichen believes that if you want to reopen the case booth, you must have a guarantee of sufficient weight, raise the threshold for appeals, and let those who have evil plans carefully weigh it."

"Just like now, I use my own future and official status as a guarantee. If I miss it, I have to pay for the mistakes I made!"

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Zhong, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who stood at the forefront of the officials, immediately raised his hand, and said with admiration: "Lu Ji has a high righteousness, and this official admires it."

As soon as this remark came out, the others immediately reacted.

However, most of the courtiers did not dare to express their views and just let the situation develop.

And not far from Zheng Zhong, the new Zuodu Censor Fang Ping who stood at the forefront of all the officials also said at the same time: "Your Majesty, Lu Jishi's words are very kind! In this way, the wronged person can be given a chance to be wronged." , can also take into account the court's laws and regulations, so as not to disturb the law, the best of both worlds! This matter can be set as a rule in the future!"

When he said that, his face was full of appreciation, and he did not imply hypocrisy like Zheng Zhong.

Finally, the big boss of the first echelon expressed his opinion, and the other court officials couldn't help but look terrified.

However, Qian Yiqian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who is also one of the chief officials of the Sanfa Department, smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Beside him, a little red from the six ministers, and Xiao Yun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, frowned slightly, with a look of worry on his face, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, Lu Chen clasped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, please give Xia Yan a chance to prove his innocence, and also give the people of Yongchuan a chance to live and work in peace."

Facing Lu Chen's plea, the empress thought for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

"Since Lu Aiqing insists, let's settle this matter."

When she said that, an imperceptible slyness flashed quietly in her eyes.

resignation

Since it was her own request, it was up to her, the emperor, to agree or not.

Thinking of this, she no longer had any worries, and then waved her hand directly, and ordered: "The execution of the original judgment in the Xia Yan case is suspended, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are ordered to re-try the case together, and the case must be carefully reviewed. Don’t let go of any doubts, and investigate every detail of this case.”

As soon as the Empress Jinkou opened her mouth, she also pointed out on the spot that the matter would be directly in charge of the Sanfa Division.

We must know that the cases that the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly tried at the same time have always been only major cases that have attracted the attention of the emperor, also known as the "three divisions' joint trial."

Now that the empress personally appointed it, it is obvious that she attaches great importance to this case.

At this time, if Hu Yan dared to say one more objection, it would basically be no different from publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with the Empress.

No matter how unwilling or unhappy he is, he can only accept orders obediently at this time.

What's more, Zheng Zhong also sent a hint from his eyes at this time——

This is the end of the matter, don't do any more redundant things.

So he bowed and retreated directly.

The senior officials of the three judicial divisions simultaneously shouted "the minister obeys the order", and they bowed their hands to comply with the order with different thoughts, and promised that they would try their best to try the case carefully, and would never wrong the good people.

Of course, no bad guy will ever be spared.

That's it.

After coming down to court, Qian Yiqian and Zheng Zhong walked to Hu Yan's side together, smiled and encouraged him, and threatened that there is still a lot to help each other in the future.

Hu Yan was immediately flattered.

Until the next officer returned home, along the way, he felt a little smug because he felt that he was valued by the superior.

However, when he just returned to the door of the house with a good mood that lasted for most of the day——

"Master Hu, long time no see, don't come here~"
