Chapter 331 Pardon

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, his face turned cold, and he looked at Li Zhixing.

"Lord Li said that Ning Chen had no respect for the law and acted recklessly. What did he mean?"

Li Zhixing leaned over, "Your Majesty, yesterday, Lord Ning forcibly took the prisoner Zi Su from the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

The ministers were in an uproar!

Taking the prisoner away from the prison by force is like robbing a prisoner.

This gave those censors a chance to think that it was time to show off in front of others.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning was bold and reckless, and treated the laws of the Great Xuan as a trifle. He should be severely punished."

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning was just made a marquis. This is clearly because he is spoiled and arrogant. He must be severely punished, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause in the future?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning forcibly took the prisoner away from the prison of the Ministry of Justice. This is clearly a prison robbing. His crime is unforgivable."

Emperor Xuan looked coldly at the censors who were jumping up and down.

He was about to speak when he heard General Chen say, "Your Majesty! It is true that Lord Ning took Miss Zi Su away from the prison, but there is a reason for it."

"Lord Ning was worried that the doctor at Tong'an Hall could not save Liang Jingwu's daughter-in-law. She had a difficult delivery. If something went wrong, it would be a double death."

"Although Miss Zi Su was a prisoner, she was also a direct disciple of the Medical Immortal Shang Lu, and she had excellent medical skills... Ning Chen took her away not to rob the prison, but to save Liang Jingwu's daughter-in-law."

"It was because of Miss Zi Su's help that Liang Jingwu's daughter-in-law and her child were safe!"

The momentum of the censors weakened immediately.

But some people still refused to accept and retorted: "Even if there is a reason, it cannot cover up the fact that Lord Ning committed a crime."

"Yes, Lord Ning took the criminal away privately, which is a provocation to the Great Xuan Law."

"Your Majesty, nails are nails, and nails are nails. The two cannot be confused. Although Lord Ning was trying to save people, he did violate the Great Xuan Law. Please punish him severely."

In fact, these censors did not have any deep hatred with Ning Chen.

The purpose of their doing this seems to be to protect the Great Xuan Law, but in fact it is nothing more than to become famous, to gain a good reputation, and to be noble in front of people.

If they can fight against a few high-ranking officials, then their purpose will be achieved.

In the future, when people mention it, they will say that so-and-so is a loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor and the country, who is not afraid of power and dares to fight against power.

And after becoming famous, it can also save his life...Even if he makes a mistake in the future, Your Majesty must consider this person's reputation and public opinion if he wants to punish him.

So, who are these people not targeting?

They are not just targeting people. They will criticize you for writing a poem, a book, a song, or anything else.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just like the keyboard warriors and experts nowadays, all for traffic and eyeballs.

No matter what? They will stand on the moral high ground and make a few comments, put forward different opinions, and show their own uniqueness, in fact, just to attract attention.

To explain it in one sentence, they are just a group of clowns who eat shit but not fill their mouths, and act as both a clown and a clown.

Emperor Xuan looked at these jumping clowns coldly and said calmly: "Who told you that Miss Zisu is a criminal?"

"Miss Zisu's father Yan Wenbo was wrongly accused. The Yan family was executed. I feel guilty towards the Yan family."

"Miss Zisu is the only blood of the Yan family. I issued an order yesterday to pardon Miss Zisu... Quan Sheng, I asked you to pass on the order. Why didn't Li Aiqing receive my order?"

Eunuch Quan was slightly startled, and then he knelt down with a plop, terrified and fearful, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Yesterday, I caught a cold and felt dizzy, which delayed this matter."

Emperor Xuan's face darkened, "You bastard, how could you forget such an important thing?"

"I am guilty, please show mercy, please forgive me!"

Emperor Xuan snorted, "Since you have served me for decades, you have been diligent and never made any mistakes, I will forgive you this time."

"But the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped... I will fine you one year's salary!"

Eunuch Quan was grateful and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

Emperor Xuan moved his eyes and looked at the censors, "Do you have any doubts, my dear ministers?"

A group of trolls looked at each other... Is Your Majesty treating them as idiots?

Do you really think they can't see that Your Majesty and Eunuch Quan are just acting.

If you want to protect Ning Chen, you don't have to treat us as idiots, right?

But they didn't dare to say anything more?

The emperor has explained it to you, and you still hold on to it, that's looking for death.

Emperor Xuan glanced at his ministers and said calmly, "I am tired. Let's stop here today... The court is dismissed!"

After saying that, he stood up and left!

......

On the other side, Ning Chen also entered the palace.

He came to the door of the imperial study and waited.

Each time after the court session, Emperor Xuan would come to the imperial study first.

After waiting for a while, he saw Emperor Xuan's procession coming, because Ning Chen came on time...he knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it's Lord Ning!"

Eunuch Quan, who followed Emperor Xuan's dragon sedan, reminded him in a low voice.

Empress Xuan also saw it.

When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, the dragon sedan landed, and Emperor Xuan stood up and walked over.

"Ning Chen, what are you doing again?"

Ning Chen looked obedient, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake and I am here to apologize!"

Emperor Xuan glanced at him for a few times, turned around and walked towards the imperial study, and said casually, "Come in and talk."

"Yes!"

Ning Chen stood up and was about to go in, but was stopped by Nie Liang.

Nie Liang quietly took out a banknote and handed it over.

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment!

"Marquis Ning, don't give money to your brother anymore. If His Majesty knows about it, you and I will be implicated."

He had wanted to return the money to Ning Chen a long time ago, but he hadn't seen him recently.

Ning Chen frowned slightly, "Commander Nie, I think we are friends, right?"

"Your family is in trouble. As a friend, shouldn't I lend a hand?"

Nie Liang smiled bitterly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept this money... Although my family is poor, as long as I have an official position, I have a salary, and I can always make ends meet."

"If His Majesty knows about this, if I am stripped of my clothes and my family has no source of income, then life will be really unbearable."

"If Marquis Ning really regards me as a friend, please take the money back."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said apologetically, "Sorry! I didn't think it through."

As he said that, he took the money back, and then said seriously, "Leave it to me... I promise to help you solve your family's difficulties."

Nie Liang looked puzzled.

Ning Chen smiled, "Don't worry! I won't let you collect money, but I can solve your family's difficulties... Wait for my good news!"

After saying that, Ning Chen walked into the imperial study.

As soon as he came in, Ning Chen knelt down with a well-behaved face, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I did something wrong yesterday, please punish me."

Emperor Xuan looked at him and knew why Ning Chen came.

He was very relieved that Ning Chen had finally grown up and knew how to respect the royal family.

Emperor Xuan said, "Tell me, what did you do wrong again?"
