Li Mu and Zhang Chun walked out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and left the Imperial Palace together.
Zhang Chun was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, "Li Mu, did you grow up in Yangqiu County?"
Li Mu was thinking about something else, so he asked casually, "Why are you asking this?"
Zhang Chun waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking … By the way, why do you think King Shou is so good to you?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Who knows …"
Li Mu couldn't think of a reason why King Shou would always give them pointers at critical moments. Maybe he was just doing it for justice. After all, human nature was complicated, and you can't label a person as good or evil just because of their background or faction.
Regardless of the reason, King Shou's words did make Li Mu suddenly see the light.
What does the continuation of the Great Zhou rely on?
It's not the Imperial Court, not the Imperial Family, but the people.
It's the Psyche Power of the people.
What the Imperial Court is most afraid of is losing the people's hearts. They may not care about a city, but they won't care about a county, ten counties, or even thirty-six counties.
The law of the Great Zhou is to protect the weak and the people, but this is only on the surface. The existence of the law is to maintain the rule of the Imperial Court. Because only when the people live and work in peace can the Psyche Power be continuously produced, the Emperor's Qi can be nurtured, and the Upper Realm powerhouses of the Imperial Family can be endlessly produced, ensuring the stability of the country.
No matter how fierce the Imperial Court is, the prosperity of the Great Zhou will always be the goal of everyone.
King Shou's words can be said to have awakened the people in the dream.
Li Mu walked out of the Imperial Palace. Unexpectedly, there were already many people outside the Imperial Palace.
Seeing Li Mu walk out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Lord Li, how is it?"
"His Majesty didn't punish you, right?"
"Lord Li was too impulsive. You shouldn't have fought with that person. Isn't this dirtying your hands?"
… …
Feeling the concern of the people, Li Mu smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. His Majesty is a righteous person. How could he punish me?"
A man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good. Lord Li is worthy of being His Majesty's favorite minister. If I knew this would happen, I would have hit him harder. Break his legs."
"This kind of treacherous person, it's not too much."
"Lord Li's family, he will die a horrible death …"
Among the crowd, the Lord Li Mu, Lord Li, is Lord Li Yi, Lord Li was Li is? "
The crowd also looked at Li Mu.
With a profound look in his eyes, Li Mu said, "Official Li Yi is the role model of our generation."
"I know!"
Lord is brave. "
"lord Li died died died.". "s Li Li's House house."
"Even now, we still can't take it lying down!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation as they spoke one after another. At this moment, the man bit his lip and suddenly looked at Li Mu. He said, "My lord, can you save Lord Li's daughter? She's Lord Li's only child left in this world …"
"Stop talking!" The middle-aged man glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to kill Sir?"
Sighs could be heard from the crowd.
"Yes, Lord Li was the enemy of all the nobles back then."
"Now, those people are in high positions. Lord Li, it's best not to provoke them."
"Forget it. Lord Li, you can go ahead. You can't follow in Lord Li's footsteps …"
The man's eyes were filled with tears. He choked and said, "If it wasn't for Lord Li, my family would have died in Fairy's Capital. I can't watch Lord Li die …"
His voice was mournful. The people around Li Mu lowered their heads. Their eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
Lord Li had served the people wholeheartedly, but his family was ruined and his descendants were about to die.
On the other hand, those who had framed him had become heroes, enjoying endless glory and wealth, riding on the heads of the common people and abusing them.
They could do nothing about it except feel indignant.
A man of seven feet could not help but sob in front of everyone on the streets of Fairy's Capital.
No one laughed. Everyone's mood was very heavy.
The man lowered his head. As he sobbed and trembled, a pair of hands landed gently on his shoulders.
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Lord Li won't die. He won't be wronged forever."
The man raised his head and said in shock, "Lord Li …"
"Lord Li!"
"Lord Li …"
The people looked at Li Mu. They seemed to have realized something. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Li Residence.
When Li Mu walked through the door, Hyun Jinko and Yuzhen Zi in the courtyard sensed something strange.
Hyun Jinko turned to look. The moment Li Mu stepped into the courtyard, he felt as if the world was pressing down on him.
This was a "force". It was a "force" that should not exist on a Fourth Realm cultivator. "
Yuzhen Zi said in disbelief, "His psychokinesis has already formed a force. No wonder his cultivation progress is so fast. Very few people can complete psychokinesis cultivation …"
Li Mu retracted his newly acquired psychokinesis back into his body. Liu Hanyan walked over quickly and asked, "How is it?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "She's safe for now. But to save her, we have to think about it carefully."
Liu Hanyan thought for a moment and asked, "Can't we ask Her Majesty to pardon her?"
Li Mu said, "It's not that easy. But it's okay. Her Majesty has already agreed to let me reinvestigate Lord Li Yi's case. After Lord Li's case is overturned, things will be much simpler …"
Actually, he only begged the Empress today to show her his attitude.
This case involved too many people. Whether Li Mu proposed it or the Empress ordered it, they would definitely encounter great resistance.
Back then, Li Yi offended the rich and powerful. Among them were the Xiao Royal Family and the Zhou Clan. They indirectly contributed to the massacre of the Li Clan. Of course, they would not let Li Mu reinvestigate the old case so easily.
Therefore, Li Mu needed help. Help that even the Great Zhou court could not ignore.
He walked into the courtyard and said, "Senior Brother Hyun Jinko, there's something I need your help with."
Hyun Jinko said, "Junior Brother, there's no harm in asking. You're welcome."
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I might need you to return to Mount Baiyun and meet Senior Brother Sect Master personally …"
…
Ministry of Justice.
In the Assistant Minister's Office, the Right Assistant Minister of Personnel looked at Zhou Zhong and asked with a frown, "That Li Clan survivor was taken away by the Imperial Clan Temple. Why didn't you stop them?"
Zhou Zhong asked, "The official documents of the Secretariat have Her Majesty's imperial seal on them. Who would dare to stop them?"
Gao Hong stroked the short beard on his chin and asked in confusion, "But why did the Secretariat want to transfer her to the Imperial Clan Temple?"
Zhou Zhong said, "That official document was written by Li Mu. In my opinion, he probably wants to overturn the case for Li Yi."
Gao Hong looked at him and said, "If I remember correctly, Li Yi was once Lord Zhou's close friend. Why? Does Lord Zhou not want to see him be convicted?"
Zhou Zhong looked at him calmly and asked, "Are you a pig?"
Gao Hong slammed the table and said angrily, "What did you say?"
Chen Jian, the Left Assistant Minister of Personnel, whose injuries were almost healed after taking a pill, walked over and said, "Lord Gao, your question is a little stupid. Back then, Lord Zhou was also involved in the impeachment of Li Yi. If Li Yi's case is overturned, you, me, and even Lord Zhou will be sentenced to death. Do you think he would seek his own death?"
The Right Assistant Minister of Personnel sat down again and said, "My apologies, Lord Zhou. I was rash."
Chen Jian said angrily, "Fourteen years ago, Li Yi. Fourteen years later, Li Mu. Does this Li guy have a grudge against us? As long as we don't get rid of him, we won't have a day of peace."
Zhou Zhong said, "If you want to get rid of him, why don't you think about it? If he really wants to overturn the case for Li Yi, won't you and I be in danger?"
Chen Jian laughed coldly and said, "Then he still needs to find evidence. It's easy to prove that he colluded with the enemy and committed treason. Fourteen years have passed. How can he prove that Li Yi didn't collude with the enemy and commit treason?"
"Even if he proves it, then what?"
"Zhou Chuan is also involved in this matter. Do you want His Majesty to execute his uncle?"
Even if His Majesty dotes on Li Mu and doesn't recognize his own family, how can the courtiers agree to it? If this case isn't investigated, the imperial court will still be the imperial court. If this case is investigated, the imperial court might not be the imperial court anymore. When that time comes, the imperial court will be in chaos. The Ten Devil Path Sects, the Country of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Ghost Region of Youdu will all become restless. His Majesty might not be able to see these things clearly, but do you think those old fogies in the imperial court won't be able to see it clearly? "
Zhou Zhong nodded and said, "After hearing Lord Chen's words, I feel much more at ease."
Chen Jian said proudly, "Lord Zhou might be better at solving cases than I am, but you still have to learn from me when it comes to matters of the imperial court …"
…
Changle Palace.
There was no morning assembly today. Zhou Yi read a few memorials and felt a little annoyed. He asked, "Where's Li Mu? Did he go to the Minister Province today?"
Mr. Mei said, "I saw him go directly to the imperial kitchen just now."
Zhou Yi thought about it and said, "Go to the Minister Province later and see if there are any new tributes. Send some to him."
Mr. Mei smiled and said, "Yes."
She was about to leave when Shangguan Li walked in from outside. Zhou Yi said, "Ah Li, go to the imperial kitchen and see what Li Mu cooked today."
Shangguan Li said, "When I passed by the imperial kitchen just now, I saw Li Mu come out from there."
Zhou Yi asked, "You didn't come with him?"
Shangguan Li shook his head and said, "He went in the direction of the Imperial Clan Temple."
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he looked at the door of the hall and said, "Mei Wei, come back!"
