When Cui Liyan invited the guests to dinner, he certainly didn't want Li Nuo to change his mind about his sister.

Although Cui Liyan was still full of complaints against Li Nuo before and wanted to kill him, he also understood that emotional matters cannot be forced.

What's more, Li Zian is already married. Mrs. Li is pretty and elegant. She seems to be better than his elder sister in every aspect. You can't let your elder sister get married and become a child, right?

Even if my elder sister is willing, my father and grandfather will not be able to pass.

How can the Cui family afford such shame!

A legitimate daughter growing up in someone else's family?

Who is so proud?

Not even when the prince comes!

Cui Liyan invited him to dinner, but he actually wanted to persuade Li Nuo to accompany him to the cultural banquet held by the princess soon.

He won't marry the princess, but he can't let his rival capture her heart either.

But how long has it been since he turned back? Just as Li Zian said, this [words and swords] are almost rusty, and the poems, songs, and so on are really not as good as that guy!

Therefore, you must find help.

At this moment, Li Nuo just arrived...

Li Nuo couldn't guess what Cui Liyan was thinking. After he came down from the mountain, he went directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

With Jian Yuyan's letter clearing the way, the journey was smooth, and he met Yu Shangshu in the Ministry of Punishment.

"Li Zian, you are really capable. You can do such big things even in Yuzhou. The lineage of King Wu died because of you..."

Yu Shangshu put away the letters written by Jian Yuyan in an orderly manner, and then sighed.

Li Nuo: "Master Shangshu is joking... The King of Wu colluded with the demon to refine the evil elixir. Fortunately, His Highness the Fourth Highness recognized it and discovered it at a glance. The King of Wu's lineage actually perished because of the King of Wu. This is his own fault, but You can’t blame others.”

"They say that you gave up literature and embraced martial arts, and that your literary spirit was gone. I didn't expect that your ability to speak and talk is still as strong as ever. Okay, let's stop talking nonsense with you. I can make an exception and allow you to go, but you can only stay for an hour. The case file is here Room A in the inner hall, hold this sign, Shu Lingshi will take you in."

Yu Shangshu threw a card to Li Nuo.

"Thank you, sir..."

Li Nuo thanked him, then turned and left the main hall.

Yu Shangshu sighed. In fact, not long ago, he received an instruction from His Majesty that Li Zian would be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.

This put him in a difficult situation.

It stands to reason that he is a high-ranking official of the second rank and the head of the Ministry of Punishments. He should not be involved in such trivial matters as the transfer of minor officials.

But it concerns Li Nuo, cough cough...

That thing is a bit intriguing.

only……

It is really difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts.

Of course, he couldn't tell Li Nuo directly about this matter.

It’s hard to say.

This is clearly what is happening to people.

He didn't want to be this evil person.

Let the eunuchs in the palace announce the decree.

Of course, Li Nuo didn't know that the emperor was planning on him again.

After handing over the cards, under the guidance of Shu Lingshi, he went to the case room A and immediately looked up the case of Ye Changqing, the Minister of Rites fifteen years ago.

In fact, the impact of this case was very large at that time.

After all, it concerns the Minister of Rites, a third-rank official. Who dares to be careless when participating in the trial?

And this matter also involves the demon clan.

At that time, there had just been a violent conflict between the demon clan and the human race. In fact, neither side wanted to fight at that time, so the demon clan sent envoys to Chang'an for peace talks.

However, during the negotiation, the demon ambassador died unexpectedly and tragically in Honglu Temple! The person in charge of this peace negotiation was Ye Changqing, the Minister of Rites, so naturally he could not escape the connection.

Li Nuo read the dossier word for word carefully.

The records in the case file were found to be flawless.

But just because it was so perfect, it aroused a little suspicion in him.

The Demon Clan Ambassador was a [Fourth Grade Demon General], why did he die so quietly?

This is the foot of the emperor!

Who can do it so seamlessly?

Even if a third-level boss takes action, he still has to leave some traces, right?

However, I searched Honglu Temple and found nothing.

There was no poisoning, no witchcraft, no trauma... he was just dead.

And he died on the eve of negotiating and signing the contract!

Li Nuo couldn't help but have a guess in his mind!

Could this demon ambassador commit suicide?

Its purpose is to disrupt the peace talks between the human and demon clans and cause a war between the two clans!

In order to appease the demon clan and give them an explanation, Dayin could only put the blame on Ye Changqing's head.

etc.

Fifteen years ago…

It is Emperor Wenzong who is on the throne!

And six months after the negotiation crisis, war still cannot be avoided. In the end, Wenzong was disheartened and became extremely ill. He died of illness in Lishan not long after.

Damn it!

There shouldn't be anything dirty during this period, right?

Li Nuo suddenly felt horrified.

Why was the late emperor's temple name Wenzong?

It is because he inherited Xuanzong's ambition to govern the country with culture, be tolerant to foreigners, and live in peace with foreigners.

That fierce battle caused heavy casualties to the Central Plains dynasty, and Wenzong was discouraged, and he died in depression not long after. Next, Jingshun succeeded to the throne. During the fifteen years, although he worked hard to govern, his foreign policy obviously changed, and he continued to have conflicts with the demon clan. Until now, the bones of hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been buried in the Two Realms Mountains.

Is it related to the struggle for power?

It's scary to think about it.

If this is the case, Ye Changqing will really take the blame!

If he doesn't back it up, how can Emperor Jingshun ascend to the throne?

But does Emperor Jingshun really have such a city and thoughts?

Li Nuo felt a chill in his heart.

Emperor...

For this position, brothers killed each other, sons killed their fathers, and fathers slaughtered their sons... the history books clearly remember this.

Put down the case file.

Li Nuo sighed.

If you want to know more deeply, it is actually best to find someone who witnessed this event with your own eyes. Unfortunately, most were either exiled or died.

This matter is indeed tricky.

In fact, the best way is to let Emperor Jingshun speak.

Unfortunately, he does not yet have this ability.

Li Nuo walked out of the case room and was about to say hello and farewell to Yu Shangshu when he saw a anxious eunuch running towards him. When he saw him, his eyes showed surprise: "Li Zian, Mr. Li! You have made our family suffer so much. "

The little eunuch kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, panting.

"This father-in-law, do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Nuo frowned.

If the eunuch comes to see him, there must be something wrong with him.

The young eunuch straightened up and said, "I will pass on His Majesty's oral instructions."

Li Nuo nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I'm listening."

The little eunuch said in astonishment: "You...kneel down."

Li Nuo asked back: "My father-in-law, don't you know my name? Why do you still want me to kneel down?"

"Kneel down to receive the order, what does your name have to do with it?"

As he said that, he suddenly remembered the temperament of this gentleman. Back then, he directly supported the emperor and knelt down in the Jinluan Palace?

dream!

Well, you are the uncle and cannot be offended.

The young eunuch said with a green face: "His Majesty ordered Li Zian to join the Penal Department as a jailer and guard the prison. I appreciate this."

"Your Majesty really said that?"

Li Nuo couldn't believe it.

The temperament of this emperor is really difficult to guess.

What is this going to do?

Humiliating him once is not enough, why continue?

Probably not.

But what’s the meaning?

Li Nuo was a little confused.

"Li Zian, do you suspect that our family faked the emperor's oral edict?"

Seeing that Li Nuo did not accept the order for a long time, the young eunuch suppressed his blush.

Li Nuo looked magnanimous: "I guess you wouldn't dare either."

The young eunuch was puzzled: "Then you still won't accept the order and thank me?"

Li Nuo shook his head calmly: "Accept the order? Why should I accept the order? Sorry, I refuse!"
