Chang 'an Fortress!
Beyond Xuanwu Gate, Daxing Palace was located within the Imperial City!
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Shimin was wearing a golden armor and a golden helmet. There were four flags on his back, and he held the Emperor's Sword with both hands. His eyes were dark and gloomy.
All the civil and military officials in the court held their breaths. The sound of a pin dropping could be heard in the hall.
"You guys! You guys! And all of you have deceived me!”
Li Shi Min pointed at the officials and shouted angrily.
"Taking bribes and bending the law, forming cliques for personal gain! You have disappointed me!"
" Your Majesty, please calm down…" Fang Xuanling advised.
Li Shi Min suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Du Kefa. His originally angry expression softened a lot.
"Du Kefa of the Supreme Court, please listen!"
As Du Kefa walked out of the court, all the officials looked at him.
Everything had happened because of Du Kefa. He still remembered that ten days ago, Du Kefa had asked Li Shimin about his studies.
If it wasn't for Du Kefa's report, how could this series of events have happened?
Most importantly, this matter left most of the officials confused.
When Du Kefa left Chang 'an, he attracted the attention of all the officials. How big was the case that the Minister of Judicial Review had to personally handle it?
A few days later, Du Kefa returned to Chang 'an. He also attracted a lot of attention because Li Shimin left the palace and went to the Supreme Court as soon as he returned.
It could be seen that Li Shi Min was extremely anxious about this matter!
……
Li Shi Min looked at Du Kefa.
When Du Kefa disobeyed the order to punish Dang Renhong, Li Shimin was still angry.
However, when Li Shi Min looked at Du Kefa in court today, he was very pleased.
Without a minister like Du Kefa, who was a direct remonstrant, how could he have seen Xiang City and know the reason why the Xun family had hidden from the world?
In the Imperial Court, there were countless officials who protected each other and formed cliques!
Since Du Kefa dared to defy the imperial edict, then he was not afraid of the powerful and dared to be enemies with the world!
It would be the greatest loss for the Great Tang Empire if such a person was not put in an important position!
"Damn it, you're my subordinate. I once misunderstood you, and because of your outspoken remonstrance, I made the wrong decision! However, in the past few days, I have suddenly realized something!”
"There are so many people who suck up to the powerful! And such a direct remonstrant like you is rare!”
"If not for the police, Zhen would still be in the dark!”
……
Du Kefa listened to Li Shiming's praise in the court, but his expression was still calm. He wasn't happy because of Li Shiming's praise.
For Li Shi Min to praise an official so generously, he must have something he wanted.
No matter how powerful a person was, if he suddenly kept praising them, he must have wanted help or had some ulterior motive. This was an unchanging principle.
All the officials in the court stared at Li Shiming and Du Kefa in the main hall, all of them lost in their speculations. The Emperor of the Tang Empire was wearing a golden armor and praising the highest officer in charge of the prison. This matter revealed an unusual atmosphere.
In the court, Zhangsun Wuji forced a smile…
Gao Shilian, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, lowered his head as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The general of the Sui Dynasty who led the army to drive away the Xun Family was Gao Shilian!
Everything he did was to facilitate the marriage between Li Shiming and Zhangsun…
Gao Shilian naturally knew about Xun Cai 'er. When Li Shimin sent people to Xiang City to pick up Xun Cai' er, Gao Shilian had interfered, causing Li Shimin's people to only receive news of the Xun family's seclusion but not Xun Cai 'er.
……
"Official of the Supreme Court, Du Kefa."
"Yes!"
"I order you to investigate this case thoroughly!"
After Li Shiming finished speaking, Du Kefa cupped his hands and said,"Yes!"
This case implicated Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian. Li Shimin was worried that Du Kefa would escape, so he praised Du Kefa in advance.
In the entire court, other than Du Kefa, no one else would dare to take on this case.
"Du Kefa!"
"Your subject is here."
"The Heaven's Policy Sword represents my decree. If anyone dares to stop me during the trial, I will allow you to act first and report later!”
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up. His eyes, which had been gradually softening, turned fierce once again.
Li Shimin had already made his decision to all the officials in the court. Anyone who dared to stop Du Kefa from investigating the case would be going against the Emperor of the Tang Empire…
……
In the imperial court, Du Kefa cupped his hands with an ivory board.
His position in the imperial court was becoming more and more stable.
For example, Du Kefa had established his authority in the court in Dang Renhong's case, so from today onwards, Du Kefa would be able to secure his position as an important official in the court.
From now on, Du Kefa's words held great weight in the imperial court!
He had the Heaven's Will Sword in his hand!
Power in hand!
Du Kefa was one step closer to the peak of power.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!" Du Kefa's voice reverberated throughout the entire Xuanzheng Hall!
Du Kefa returned to the court and sat on the seat of the Minister of Justice. He was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed, making people not dare to look at him directly. The hall was once again silent!
Left Guard General Hou Junji avoided Du Kefa's gaze.
In the Imperial Court, Hou Junji and Du Kefa's relationship was like fire and water. After Dang Renhong was beheaded, Hou Junji had been plotting to topple Du Kefa.
However, he could only watch as Du Kefa's power grew.
Hou Junji actually felt like he was about to be crushed.
Du Kefa had been given the Heavenly Policy Sword. If he were to become enemies with Du Kefa again, it would be very disadvantageous for him.
Hou Junji had already begun to take over Du Kefa's authority, and the way he looked at Du Kefa was no longer the way he had looked when he had first entered the Court of Judicial Review.
Hou Junji's evasive eyes were filled with fear.
……
"I have another thing to announce today!”
Li Shi Min's voice rang out in the hall, and all the officials listened quietly.
"In my early years, I studied in Yingchuan and had a matchmaker with the young lady of the Xun family. Later, I attacked the world's rebels and left a daughter behind. Now that I've returned to Chang 'an, I'm very comforted and I'm conferred the title of Princess Xiangcheng!”
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Wang De shouted,"Princess Xiang City is here!"
"Princess Xiang City is here!"
All the officials turned their heads and looked out of the hall.
When Du Kefa turned his head to look, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes had already entered the Xuanzheng Hall under the guidance of a female official. Six beautiful palace maids followed behind Princess Xiang Cheng, holding a gorgeous dress in their hands...
Du Kefa recognized her at a glance.
Du Kefa had a deep memory of her back when she had taken the sedan chair and cried out for injustice. In the following few days, she had followed Du Kefa around. Du Kefa had asked her about her past, and the two of them were even more familiar with each other.
Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest daughter of Li Shimin.
At this moment.
Princess Xiang Cheng's attributes appeared in front of Du Kefa.
Li Xiangcheng
[Official position: Princess of Xiangcheng]
[Strength: 90]
[Stamina: 90]
[Strength: 90]
Talent: 90
[Appearance: 100]
[Charm: 100]
Du Kefa realized that Princess Xiang Cheng also had six attributes. After Li Shimin and Yan Liben, Princess Xiang Cheng had six attributes.
What Du Kefa did not expect was that Princess Xiang Cheng's martial strength had also reached 90.
After Princess Xiang Cheng stood in the court, Li Shi Min said,""Princess Xiang Cheng is my eldest daughter. She was nineteen years old at that time. Which young master do you think can be my son-in-law?”
Before Li Shi Min could finish his sentence, Princess Xiang Cheng raised her head and stared at Li Shi Min with a firm gaze. She was not afraid of the imperial power at all…
Xuanzheng Hall, in the court.
Princess Xiang Cheng spoke!
Her first sentence shocked all the officials in the court. They were all dumbstruck. When the usually steady Prime Minister Du Ruhui heard Princess Xiang Cheng's words, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body!
