Li Er was speechless.
Feeling the strange gazes of all the civil and military officials, Li Er glared at Du He in embarrassment and anger. When he saw that Du He was still calm and did not regret his previous actions, his fists clenched tightly.
"Censor Du, is what the Deputy said true?" asked Li Er with a dark face.”
"That's true."
"But I don't think I did anything wrong." Du He muttered.”
"You call this not doing anything wrong?"
Li Er was so angry that his veins were bulging. He slammed the dragon table heavily and shouted angrily,"You are an imperial censor, but you beat up a senior censor. This is a crime against your superiors. Do you know that according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the lighter punishment is eighty strokes of the cane, and the heavier punishment is beheading?”
"Your Majesty, when did I offend my superiors?”
Du He retorted,"I convinced people with virtue! It is a capital crime for the following to offend the superior, but what is the crime of convincing others with virtue?”
"Stop changing the concept for me!”
Li Er sneered and pointed at the wound on the head of the censor.""Look at what you did to Wen Zhongcheng. This was called using virtue to convince others, this was called bullying!”
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you mean by going too far?”
Du He shook her head and sighed.
"This subject believes that the so-called bullying is just going too far and making others unable to tolerate it. This subject is the Imperial Censor personally appointed by His Majesty and leads 500 people from the Imperial Guards. Everything that the Imperial Guards do can be reported first. Therefore, when this subject goes to the Supreme Court to arrest people, he can arrest them first and report later!”
"Can you act first and report later?"
"How is this possible!"
Hearing this, all the officials were shocked.
Now, they only knew that a new Guard House called the Governor's Guard had appeared in Chang 'an, but they had no idea what this new Guard House did. Now that Du He had said it, everyone was shocked to find that the Governor's Guard actually had such great power!
At this moment, Du He continued in a powerful tone,
"Deputy Wen, you don't know the truth and insulted me outside the palace gate. Just now, I used virtue to convince others. If you say that I've gone too far, then Deputy Wen has gone too far. There's a light punishment and a heavy punishment for bullying.”
The court was silent.
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Du He in a daze. Was this kid determined to make things difficult for the Imperial Censor and the Imperial Censor? Wei Zheng had been bedridden, and now he had placed a knife on the neck of the Imperial Censor. He planned to get rid of him quickly!
Li Er was dumbfounded when he heard that. Which was the heaviest, eighty strokes of the cane or death without mercy? Even if he used the back of his head to think about it, he knew that the key was that Du He had said this, so he couldn't really deal with them at the same time.
Seeing that Li Er was speechless, Wen Xuning became anxious and simply ignored the consequences. He cupped his hands and said loudly,""Your Majesty, I have three books to report!"
"Speak!"
Li Er's expression relaxed. He knew that Wen Xuning didn't intend to dwell on the matter of being beaten up badly outside the palace gate, so he nodded and let him continue.
"This subject is the first ginseng. I, Du He, have trespassed into the Supreme Court!”
Wen Xuning's expression was fierce as he said," The Supreme Court deals with all kinds of major crimes. Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who dared to trespass into the Supreme Court with a saber. Because trespassing into the Supreme Court can be killed!"”
This time, he was serious!
All the officials in the court trembled and pricked up their ears to listen.
The entire morning court was actually waiting for someone to make a big fuss about the fight between the two departments last night.
However, because Du He was acting under the imperial edict and knew that Li Er was protecting him, no one dared to speak up. They all planned to smooth things over and muddle through this matter.
However, he didn't expect that the censor didn't plan to let this matter go.
Wen Xuning looked coldly at Du He and said with a cold smile,"
"This subject's second advisor, Du He, leads the Imperial Guards and Fire Guards! Hundreds of guards were killed or injured in this battle, and the officials fought with each other. This was unprecedented and shocking! May I ask Your Majesty, if the court does not punish, who will not be afraid of Chang 'an people, why not everyone feel danger?”
"This subject is the third ginseng, and I, Shen Duhe, am not dressed properly.”
When Wen Xuning saw that a pin drop could be heard in the court, he straightened his neck and said loudly,""As an official of the court, it is a great disrespect to come to see His Majesty in such a manner! I believe that these three crimes should be punished together, and these three crimes should not be forgiven!!”
Du Ruhui was annoyed. Which of these three crimes wasn't a capital offense?
"That's wrong!"
Du Ruhui stood up and retorted,"
"Wei Yuan broke the law and Wei Liang protected him, which was why the fight started. If you want to blame someone, you should blame Wei Yuan and Wei Liang. If it wasn't for them, why would my son take such a risk?”
