Tong Wei was dragged out by the Heaven's Policy Army like a dead dog.
The entire hall was dead silent.
Ever since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had always been benevolent and valued talents…giving people the illusion that he was a heroic and wise ruler.
However, Su Che understood that Li Er, who had killed his brothers, had a vicious and ruthless nature in his bones. It had never disappeared. He had just hidden it.
The entire court was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to breathe loudly.
After killing Tong Wei, Li Shiming looked at the trembling ministers and felt a sense of relief, but his face was still as cold as ice."The Supreme Court's Minister Li Xun has been bedridden, which gave Tong Wei the opportunity. It seems that the Supreme Court can't be without a master for a day.”
"Where is Dai Zhou?"
"Your humble subject is here." A thin official with a resolute face walked out and bowed.
"From today onwards, you will take on the position of the Supreme Court Official. Next, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the Imperial Censorate will work together to find Princess Changle.”When Li Shi Min mentioned his beloved daughter, his stern eyes revealed deep sadness and worry.
"Yes." The emaciated official bowed and accepted the order.
Thinking of his missing daughter, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask,""Have the famous constables from the various provinces and counties arrived?”
"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived and is waiting outside the hall.”A Heavenly Policy Army general reported.
"Announce the names of the various provinces and counties to the palace."
…………
More than 30 bailiffs entered the room and bowed to Li Shimin respectfully.
"We wish Your Majesty peace."
Li Shi Min swept his gaze over the famous constables kneeling on the ground, a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Stand up. I've summoned you here. I'm sure you already know. You are all famous constables, but I still want to pick the best of the best. Therefore, I hope you can pass my test.”
"We are willing to accept the Emperor's examination.”The famous constables puffed out their chests and said confidently.
"Alright." Li Shi Min was very pleased.
At this moment, the Duke of Chen and Minister of Justice Hou Junji walked out. He gave Su Che an unfriendly look and bowed."Your Majesty, please dismiss one person first to avoid delay.”
Li Shiming glanced at Hou Junji with a playful expression."Oh? Was Minister Hou referring to this young constable from the Jinan Prefecture?”
Hou Junji looked at Su Che righteously and nodded."It's this little constable."
All the officials in the hall understood that Hou Junji was looking for trouble. Everyone knew that Tong Wei was his lackey. Now that his lackey had been killed by the Emperor because of this young constable, he naturally had to vent his anger.
If he didn't back up his own disciples, who would dare to become his disciple in the future?
"Although Tong Wei, the official of the Supreme Court, died, he was right about one thing. The prefect of Jinan has no respect for the emperor. The imperial court had recruited a famous constable, but he had only sent a young boy who was still wet behind the ears. This was a great disrespect.”
"And this little constable, spreading rumors and causing trouble, talking about things beyond his level, is even more unforgivable.”
Hou Junji's accomplices also began to speak up.
"We agree with the words of the Duke of Chen. Princess Changle's disappearance was an extremely important case. Even if this little constable had some tricks up his sleeve, what was the use?”
"Yes, this minister was once a magistrate in a place, and I know very well that this arrest is not something that can be achieved in a year or so. It would take decades of experience and talent to have a glimmer of hope of becoming a famous constable.”
…………
Hou Junji and his accomplices spoke with increasing fervor.
Su Che had been listening to all of this coldly, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
Wei Zheng was about to walk out and defend him when Su Che walked out.
Su Che faced Hou Junji's accomplices fearlessly and passionately said,"All of you have read the books of the sages for many years. Have you never heard that ambition does not lie in age? Gan Luo became the prime minister at the age of 12, Huo Qubing was conferred the title of marquis at the age of 17…The current Emperor was able to lead thousands of troops to rebel against the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty and shake the world. Aren't these sages our role models?”
Su Che's words were so loud that Hou Junji and the rest of the clique were dumbfounded and speechless. At the same time, he flattered Li Shiming.
While Li Shi Min was amazed, he was also pleased. He couldn't help but laugh,"Haha, what an ambitious person. Did you all hear it clearly? Just based on the words of this young constable, he is worthy of my heavy reward.”
Hou Junji and his clique had wanted to retaliate, but the Emperor's words had enraged them.
Even the emperor had made a judgment. If he continued to find fault, he would soon follow in Tong Wei's footsteps.
"Your Majesty is wise." Fang Xuanling, Li Jing…all praised.
Then, Wei Zheng walked out and told him in detail about how Su Che and Song Ci solved the strange case for him.
After hearing about this strange case, all the officials in the hall were amazed by the young man's observation skills.
"Haha, as expected, age is not the key to ambition. With the help of such a talented young constable, my son will definitely be safe and sound.”Li Shimin was even more delighted. He even saw Su Che as a lucky star.
