The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

Prince Qi looked at the emperor's anxious expression and smiled, "Father, how about letting someone in?"

"Come in? How can common people come to the court? If every commoner has something to do, wouldn't I have to take care of all their work?" The emperor pointed to the officials.

All the officials knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Your Majesty, the guard just said that if Your Majesty did not summon him, he would crash into the palace gate and die. It is conceivable that the people must have nothing to ask for, so they had no choice but to come to the palace gate."

"If the emperor doesn't care about this matter, I'm afraid the people will die unjustly. If that happens, people will panic. Isn't that more harm than good?"

"Your Majesty, all of us officials are here. It's just a small case, how difficult can it be?" Fu Ziheng knelt on the ground and bowed.

The emperor nodded, "Since General Fu has said so, then go and bring the person in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The gatekeeper obeyed the order.

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple knelt on the ground in fear. It was a very cold day and early in the morning, and sweat was pouring down his back.

What kind of injustice is it that requires the people to come to the palace to make a scene?

Haven’t all the recent unjust cases been dealt with?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I have always done my duty conscientiously and I definitely do not want the people to complain about their injustice."

When everyone heard this, they sneered.

If there is no injustice, would you come to the palace?

joke.

The emperor remained silent, and it must be that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple did not manage the matter well.

He snorted coldly,

Not long after, the palace gate guards led a man in simple clothes into the hall.

All the officials looked back, wondering who was so brave that he could overcome so many obstacles and reach the palace gate.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty." The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the emperor above him.

The head fell heavily to the ground with a bang, which made all the officials present sigh.

He really is risking his life.

"What kind of injustice do you have that requires you to go to the palace gate to plead your life?" The emperor snapped his thumb and looked at the man on the ground.

"Keep your head up."

The man raised his chin, looked at the emperor in the hall, and said, "Your Majesty, my family has been wronged for many years and I can't sleep at night. I thought I would go to hell with my sins in this life and make amends to my people."

"But my daughter came from afar to recognize me as her relative. I have never fulfilled my responsibilities for a single day. My daughter told me that if I cannot redress my grievances, more people will suffer the same fate as me."

The man's tenacious look even shocked the emperor. What kind of thing could make him want to die to see him?

"Your Majesty, I am well-read and know that what I did today was wrong. I should have followed the government procedures."

"Your Majesty, if I could save my family's lives through the government office, I would have run headfirst to the gate of the government office to seek justice."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the Dali Temple's Chief Justice stood up and said, "Nonsense! When has this official not tried the grievances of the people?"

"I am devoted to the people. How dare you treat me so recklessly in front of His Majesty?"

The man said, "Sir, I didn't say you won't handle this case, but you simply don't have the ability to handle this case!"

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple walked to the front of the Golden Throne Hall, knelt on one side, and bowed to the emperor above, "Your Majesty, it is definitely not as the man said. My ability is obvious to all!"

"Sir, you said that I am incapable. Why don't you tell me why I am incapable?"

Mo Qitian stood there with a smile on his face.

seek death.

"Sir, I have no intention of looking down on you."

"You just look down on me!" The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was angry. He was a Jinshi and had worked hard for many years to get this position.

How dare she slander him in front of the Emperor?

He doesn't agree!

The man sighed, "Sir, do you really want me to tell you?"

"Speak, all the officials are here today. If you don't speak, I will say that you came to the court on purpose to frame me, then I will sue you for slander."

The man was helpless: "My Lord, I think he should be around 30 now, right?"

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple straightened himself, adjusted his court robes, and raised his chin, "Thirty-two." He was the youngest Dali Temple official in this position.

"So, I don't mean to look down on you."

"You--you obviously look down on me, otherwise why don't you dare to tell me the reason?"

"I think you must have done it on purpose. Tell me your name, where you live, and what grievance you have."

"Today, I will deal with you in front of all the officials!" It's so infuriating.

Who do you look down on!

The emperor looked at the Dali Temple's chief official, who was full of grievances.

My palms were sweating for no reason. "You said it, I agree!"

"Your Majesty, I beg for your protection." The man kowtowed.

All the officials couldn't help but frown when they saw how cautious he was. There were so many imperial guards in the Golden Palace, and they still needed the emperor's protection?

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I am afraid that if something goes wrong, it will implicate the emperor, so the emperor should let the imperial guards come in first."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The emperor suddenly remembered the letter Mo Qitian had written to him, and couldn't help but look in Mo Qitian's direction.

Mo Qitian pretended not to see anything and looked around.

After considering it for a while, the emperor decided to let the imperial guards out on the grounds of safety.

The originally spacious hall suddenly seemed small after being surrounded by the Royal Guards.

"You can speak now!"

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was furious and couldn't wait any longer.

Wait, once he has dealt with it, he will definitely ask the emperor to punish him.

He actually dared to send out the Imperial Guards to slap him in the face!

"Your Majesty, I want to overturn a case from sixteen years ago."

After these words were spoken, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was petrified.

What did he say? Sixteen years ago?

The emperor sat down.

So that's what happened.

His four sons did a great job of keeping the secret.

"Sixteen years ago, I'm afraid... the master was on duty somewhere else."

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Sixteen years ago?

He and Lu Jialang were drinking happily...

It’s such a blow, it’s really such a blow!

He pouted, neither opening nor closing his lips...

When Minister Fang heard what happened sixteen years ago, his heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence?

He stretched his neck to see what the man looked like, but he couldn't see anything.

"Sixteen years ago, I was just a scholar. My family was well off, my parents loved me, and my family loved each other. But just when all of us were immersed in this happiness, the court sealed off my family on the grounds of corruption."

"Finally, evidence of corruption was found in my home. Since the evidence was not enough to warrant execution, my entire family was exiled."

When Duke Anguo and the others heard this, they felt it was more and more familiar, and they couldn't help but look at each other in private.

"What's your name and where do you live?"

"I am a member of the Lu family."

"Lu family?" The emperor closed his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Now, what case do you want to overturn and what crime do you want to accuse?"
