"Elder Wang, is there a way to rescue?"
Wu Jue knew there was nothing she could do, but she still couldn't bear to believe that this was the truth. If she didn't want to do this, Li Kuan was in a catastrophe, and the crime of illegitimately set aside a death sentence was definitely a heinous crime.
"It's up to fate!"
Wang Huai really couldn’t bear to say these words. Wu Jue’s tears could no longer be restrained from pouring down like a flood. She knew that Wang Huai’s words meant that he was also powerless and completely helpless. They are equally worried but helpless.
Wang Huai and the others really don’t know why Li Kuan dared to be so bold and sent the executed prisoner home privately. They knew it was a capital crime, so they resolutely did it. They really didn’t understand why Li Kuan insisted on going. do. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Fortunately, all of the eighteen death row prisoners left the capital and went home, but Li Kuan himself was accused. Wu Jue was crying. She hated herself for being powerless and unable to help at this time. She also blamed Li Kuan for hiding such a big thing from herself.
After crying for a while, Wu Hui quickly went back to the room, crying while getting dressed. Now that the matter had reached the point where it could not be saved, Wu Hui was ready to accompany Li Kuan to die together. After getting dressed, Wu Hui went straight to the palace without saying anything.
Wang Huai and the others hurriedly followed in fright. Zhang Chong and Leng Feng also led a team of guards to follow, followed by Xiao Qiushui and Xiao Yi. When Wang Huai saw Wu Jue heading to the palace, he thought she would trespass into the palace without permission, and quickly dissuaded him: "Wang Hao!"
Wu Jue stopped the horse and stopped it, while she herself stood silently at the gate of the imperial city, watching the movement of the gate, Wang Huai and others secretly relieved when she saw that she was not trespassing in the imperial palace. However, seeing such an infatuated Wu Jue, the three of them were all sighed, and finally accompanied Wu Jue to stand in front of the imperial city gate, waiting for Li Kuan's reappearance.
At the same time, Li Kuan had already entered the palace face saint. This time he did not meet with the emperor alone, but was taken to the Taiji Hall in front of the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stood on both sides, looking sideways awaiting the parties in this early dynasty. Last night, Li Shimin received a memorial secretly submitted by Master Cui Ren, which clearly stated the details of the matter. As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was obliged to supervise whether the actions of the Secretary of Dali Temple were correct.
Master Cui Ren was worried that this matter would involve him, so he had to bite the bullet and tell everything about it. When Li Shimin learned of the incident, he was so angry that he almost fainted. Originally, his attitude towards Li Kuan had changed a lot, and he had high hopes for him.
I never thought that Li Kuan would have caused such a big deal in less than half a month in the position of Dali Temple, completely ignoring the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and repeatedly provoking his bottom line. In this early dynasty, Li Shimin had a gloomy face and did not say a word. Just after the worshippers were about to play, Li Shimin stopped all other matters: "We will discuss it after the King of Chu goes to the palace. Today, we will only discuss about the King of Chu, and we will discuss other things tomorrow!"
After entering the temple, Master Cui Ren knelt on the ground and waited for his hair to fall. He didn't dare to lift his head. Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others looked at Cui Ren in amazement, and they were surprised. They really didn't know what happened to make the emperor so angry.
In addition, Li Shimin announced that the King of Chu would go to the palace, which meant that Li Kuan, who had never been to the court, came today for an unprecedented time, and everyone speculated about what would happen again. Because in their opinion, there is nothing good about Li Kuan. The main reason is that the last time was too much trouble. The entire court knew that Li Kuan became the first official to be promoted to more than 20 consecutive levels at the beginning of the founding of the country. Everyone suspected that he would be favored by the emperor, and that he would be flattered in the future.
"Emperor Qizuo, the Palace of King Chu has come down!" Duke Wu hurriedly went to the hall and bowed to the ceremony, Li Shimin said solemnly and sternly: "Let this wicked son enter the hall!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Shimin's address to Li Kuan was contrary to what they wanted, which made them a little bit unable to understand.
"Chuan Chu Wang Li Yun entered the hall!"
Li Kuan tidyed up his clothes and changed his official uniform to that of a third-rank officer. With a smile on his face, he walked forward with his head held high, and he came to the hall, bowed in prayer, and shouted: "See you, the minister. My lord, long live my emperor long live long live long live!"
"Do you know that you are guilty?" Li Shimin glared angrily, and Li Kuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what crime he committed
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, hating iron and steel, and said angrily: "You are the Dali Temple Qing who disregarded the laws of the Tang Dynasty and let the executed prisoners go home privately. Is there such a thing?"
"Yes!" Li Kuan nodded and said yes.
"In that case, what do you have to say?"
Li Kuan replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The minister has something to say that it is true that they are criminals on death row and that it is not false that the minister sends them home. However, the minister did this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor thinks that the minister's heart is what he will do. Crime, the minister has nothing to say."
"Dare to quibble!" Li Shimin was furious, and sternly said: "Zhao Guogong, auxiliary machine, please listen to this evil man with the provisions of the Law of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can understand what he has committed!"
Changsun Wuji bowed and said: "The Law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that if a prisoner is released in private among the ten crimes, he shall be punished as treason, and those who know the law will be punished by one, and they are not subject to death or rod punishment. No atonement for copper is allowed, and all property is confiscated. All family members in the Fuzhong are slaves, and the sentence of hanging can be executed immediately!"

Li Kuan was still calm, and said calmly, "Oh! I would like to ask Guogong Zhao, when was this law issued?"
"Zhenguan has been in the world for eleven years!" Changsun Wuji replied, and Li Kuan continued: "If I remember correctly, Zhao Guogong has made a contribution to the formulation of the Law of the Tang Dynasty. It is no wonder that Zhao Guogong is so familiar with the law."
Changsun Wuji did participate, and Li Kuan added: "The emperor, the Law of the Tang Dynasty also mentioned that the prisoners had their last wishes to be met before death. They have already conspired, and the time for beheading is not far away. I am a Dali Temple prince. Fulfill their wish before death so that they can reincarnate with peace of mind. Their wish before death is to go home and visit their family for the last time. How can I not agree to such a simple request?"
"Simple request?" Everyone was dumbfounded, more sneered, and Li Shimin was also sneered at hearing: "If every death row prisoner has such a request, wouldn't it be a chaos in the world? Do you know what crime these people have committed, and they still have it? Is humanity at all? If you don’t look back, your head alone is not enough!"
"In order to demonstrate the graciousness and love of my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the justice and strictness of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, only by letting them go home can we inform the people that they know how to obey the law and tell the people around them that they have violated the law. It will be punished, which also reflects the strict law enforcement of our Dali Temple."
Li Kuan retorted vocally, "If they keep their promises, wouldn't they prove that I am the emperor's wise and martial arts? Does the Law of Tang Dynasty enjoy popular support?"
"Sophistry!" one of the officials scolded angrily, "They are all murderers and arsonists. Will they know how to keep their promises? Your Majesty is too naive! If they know the word promise, why should they embark on this path of no return? In the opinion of the minister, your Highness's words are nonsense!"
This was not only what he thought, but even Li Shimin himself thought so. The minister of the DPRK and Li Kuan frowned and was worried. Judging from the current situation, Li Kuan was at a disadvantage and was severely punished in all likelihood. (End of this chapter)
