Li Mu and Zhang Chun walked out of Zongzheng Temple together and left the palace.
Zhang Chun was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Li Mu, have you grown up in Yangqiu County since you were a child?"
Li Mu was thinking about other things and said casually: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhang Chun waved his hand and said: "Just a casual question... By the way, why do you think King Shou is so kind to you?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Who knows..."
Li Mu couldn't think of the reason why King Shou always gave them guidance at critical moments. Maybe he just wanted justice. After all, human nature is complicated. You can't label a person as good or evil because of his origin or camp.
No matter the reason, King Shou's words really cleared the air and made Li Mu suddenly realize.
What does the continuation of the Great Zhou Dynasty Guozuo depend on?
Not the court, not the royal family, but the people.
It is the thinking power of the people.
What the imperial court is most afraid of is the loss of public support. They may not care about one city or one place, but they will not care about one county, ten counties, or thirty-six counties.
The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are to protect the weak and the people, but this is just an appearance. At its root, the existence of the laws is to maintain the rule of the imperial court, because only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the mind power be continuously generated, the imperial energy can be nurtured, and the royal family's
Only those who are strong in the upper three realms can survive from generation to generation and ensure that the country will last forever.
No matter how fierce the party struggle in the imperial court is, the Great Zhou Dynasty will always be the appeal of everyone through the ages.
The King of Shou can be said to wake up the dreamer with his words.
Li Mu walked out of the palace. Unexpectedly, many people were already surrounding him outside the palace.
Seeing Li Mu walking out, they immediately gathered around him.
"Master Li? How's it going?"
"Your Majesty didn't punish you, did he?"
"Master Li was still impulsive? You shouldn't have fought with that person? Didn't this make your hands dirty?"
…
Sensing the concern of the people, Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone? Your Majesty understands justice? How can you punish me?"
A man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. Mr. Li is indeed His Majesty's favorite? Should I have known better? It would have been better to break both of his legs."
"Such a traitor? It's not too much to break three of his legs."
"Having caused the loss of Mr. Li's family? He will not die well..."
A middle-aged man in the crowd was silent for a long time and asked: "Are you complaining about Mr. Li Yi and Mr. Li?"
Everyone's eyes also turned to Li Mu.
Li Mu looked deeply and said, "Master Li Yi, he is a model official for our generation."
"I knew it!"
"Sir, you are bloody!"
"Master Li died unjustly back then."
“We still can’t swallow this breath!”
Everyone was filled with indignation and spoke one after another. At this moment, the man bit his lip and suddenly looked at Li Mu and said, "Sir, can you save Mr. Li's daughter? She is the only flesh and blood that Mr. Li has left in the world...
…”
"Stop talking!" The middle-aged man glared at him and said solemnly: "Are you going to kill me?"
There were also sighs among the crowd.
"Yes, Mr. Li was an enemy of the Manchu dignitaries back then."
"Those people are now in high positions, so it's best not to provoke them."
"Forget it, sir, you can go and don't follow in Master Li's footsteps..."
Tears flashed in the man's eyes, and his voice choked with sobs as he said, "If it hadn't been for Mr. Li back then, our family would have died in the divine capital long ago. I can't just watch Mr. Li die..."
His voice was sad, and the people around Li Mu lowered their heads, with extremely suppressed anger in their eyes.
A man who devoted himself to serving the people was framed until his family was destroyed and his family was destroyed, and he was about to die.
But those who framed him turned into heroes, enjoying countless glory and wealth, riding on the heads of the people and dominating them.
They can do nothing but be angry about all this.
The dignified seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but sob and choke on the streets of Shendu, in full view of everyone.
No one around was laughing, and everyone was in a heavy mood.
The man lowered his head, sobbing and shaking, and a pair of hands gently fell on his shoulders.
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li will not die, and he will not always suffer unjust injustice."
The man raised his head and said in shock: "Sir..."
"grown ups!"
"grown ups……"
The people looked at Li Mu, as if they had realized something, and excitement appeared in their eyes.
Li Mansion.
When Li Mu walked into the gate, Xuan Zhenzi and Yu Zhenzi in the courtyard noticed something strange.
Xuan Zhenzi turned around and looked. The moment Li Mu stepped into the courtyard, he seemed to feel that the whole world was pressing down on him.
This is a kind of "potential", a kind of "potential" that should not exist in practitioners of the fourth realm.
Yu Zhenzi said in disbelief: "The power of telepathy in his body has already become powerful. No wonder his practice has progressed so quickly. In the practice of telepathy, very few people can take this path..."
Li Mu returned the newly acquired telepathy to his body, and Liu Hanyan walked over quickly and asked: "How is it?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "She is safe for the time being, but to save her, we need to consider the long term."
Liu Hanyan thought for a while and asked, "Can't you ask your Majesty to pardon her?"
Li Mudao: "It's not that easy, but it doesn't matter. Your Majesty has agreed to let me re-investigate Master Li Yi's case. After overturning the case for Master Li, things will be much simpler..."
In fact, he begged the Queen today just to express an attitude to her.
This case is too involved. Whether it is Li Mu's initiative or the Queen's decree, it will definitely encounter great resistance.
The people Li Yi offended back then were the powerful and privileged classes, including the Xiao family and the Zhou family faction. They indirectly contributed to the massacre of the Li family. Of course, they would not let Li Mu easily re-investigate old cases.
Therefore, Li Mu needed a help, one that even the Zhou court could not ignore.
He walked to the yard and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi, I need your help with something."
Xuan Zhenzi said: "Junior brother, it doesn't matter if you say it, you're welcome."
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "You may need to go back to Baiyun Mountain and meet the head master in person..."
…
Ministry of Punishment.
In the servant's office, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs looked at Zhou Zhong, frowned and asked: "Then the remnants of the Li family were taken away by Zongzheng Temple, why didn't you stop them?"
Zhou Zhong asked in return: "The official documents from Zhongshu Province are stamped with His Majesty's jade seal. Who dares to stop them?"
Gao Hong touched the short beard on his chin and asked doubtfully: "But why did the Ministry of Education transfer her to Zongzheng Temple?"
Zhou Zhongdao: "That official document was issued by Li Mu. In my opinion, he is probably trying to overturn the case for Li Yi."
Gao Hong looked at him and said: "If I remember correctly, then Li Yi was once a close friend of Mr. Zhou. Why, doesn't Mr. Zhou want to see him committed?"
Zhou Zhong looked at him indifferently and asked, "Are you a pig?"
Gao Hong slammed the table and said angrily: "What did you say?"
Chen Jian, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who had almost recovered from his injury after taking the elixir, came over and said: "Master Gao, your question is a bit stupid. At that time, Master Zhou also had a share in the impeachment of Li Yi. If Li Yi
The verdict has been overturned. You, me, including Mr. Zhou, are all guilty of death. Do you think he will seek his own death?"
The right servant of the Ministry of Personnel sat down again and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, it's me, Meng Lang."
Chen Jian said angrily: "Li Yi fourteen years ago, Li Mu fourteen years later, this person surnamed Li must have a grudge against us. If he is not eliminated, we will have no peace."
Zhou Zhongdao: "If you want to get rid of him, why not think about it, if he really wants to reverse the case for Li Yi, wouldn't it be dangerous for you and me?"
Chen Jian sneered: "Then he has to find evidence. It couldn't be easier to prove that he collaborated with the enemy and treason. Fourteen years have passed. How can he prove that Li Yi did not collaborate with the enemy and treason?"
"Even if he proves it, then what?"
"Zhou Chuan is also involved in this matter. Do you want His Majesty to execute her uncle?"
"How many people were involved in the incident back then, and how many people are in high positions now? Even if His Majesty favors Li Mu and his relatives deny it, how can the courtiers agree? If this case is not investigated, the imperial court is still the imperial court. If this case is investigated, the imperial court will
But it may not be the imperial court. When the time comes, the imperial court is in chaos, the ten sects of demons, the kingdom of ten thousand monsters, and the ghost land of Youdu are still ready to take action. Your majesty cannot see these things clearly. Do you think those old people in the court can't?
clear?"
Zhou Zhong nodded and said, "After listening to Mr. Chen's words, I feel more at ease."
Chen Jian said proudly: "Mr. Zhou may be better at solving cases than me. In this matter of the court, I have to learn from me..."
…
Changle Palace.
There was no morning meeting today. After reviewing a few papers, Zhou Wu became a little upset and asked, "Where is Li Mu, did he go to Shangshu Province today?"
Master Mei said: "I saw him go directly to the imperial dining room just now."
Zhou Wu thought for a while and said: "You will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs later to see if there are any new tributes and send him some."
Master Mei smiled and said, "Yes."
She was about to leave when Shangguan Li walked in from outside. Zhou Wu said, "A Li, go to the imperial dining room and see what Li Mu cooked today."
Shangguan Li said: "When I passed by the imperial dining room just now, I saw Li Mu coming out of the imperial dining room."
Zhou Wu asked: "You didn't come with him?"
Shangguan Li shook his head and said, "He went in the direction of Zongzheng Temple."
Zhou Wu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she looked at the door of the palace and said: "Mei Wei, come back!"
