I want to ruin the country

"My dear Lord Wang, I know you are a two-time Jinshi (Jinshi) scholar from your family. Your talent is unmatched by anyone else!"

Yining came up and gave Wang Jindou a few slaps. Most people like to be praised, especially being praised by the emperor, which is an incomparable honor!

Wang Jindou quickly stood up and bowed.

"My reputation doesn't live up to my reputation. I don't deserve your praise, Your Majesty!"

Yining Road,

"You must be wondering why I transferred you to the Dali Temple and presided over the trial of Qi Ying?"

"Your Majesty!"

Yining Road,

"I know you are upright and enjoy studying the law. I, Daqing, want to ensure fair governance and protect the people from injustice. The law is very important. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Yining Road,

"I'm calling you here for two reasons. I don't want to rely on torture to find the truth in every trial. That's prone to wrongful convictions, right?"

Wang Jindou feels the same way.

"It's really hard to guarantee there won't be wrongful convictions under such high pressure and intimidation!"

Yining Road,

"So, I hope you can use your brain to figure this case out. Can you do it?"

"I'll do my best!"

"I want you to set an example for all officials. You must not fabricate false cases or wrongly convict people. Doing so is no different from robbery and murder!"

"I understand your majesty's good intentions!"

Yining said again,

"Another purpose is to have you improve some unreasonable laws.

After this incident is over, I will set up a legal study class and you will train them in legal knowledge.

Let these law enforcers clearly understand and master the law, so that there can be fairness!"

Wang Jindou felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this. He was not afraid of trying the case, but the questions that came later were a bit difficult!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do that!"

Yining patted his shoulder.

"You don't have to be modest. I know you. Although this job is complicated, I believe no one is more suitable than you!"

The emperor said so, and to refuse would be shameless, so Wang Jindou agreed.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yining threw a sweet date over,

"If you do well, it won't be difficult to become a prime minister. I have high expectations of you, so don't let me down!"

Wang Jindou's heart was agitated. The temptation of becoming a prime minister was indeed great. He quickly expressed his determination.

"I have received the emperor's great love, how dare I not do my best!"

Yining Road,

“I heard there are four evil young men in the capital, and the leader is Qi Ying’s relative Ma Yu.

When it's convenient for you, check on them. If they're really causing harm, get rid of them and confiscate all their property!"

Wang Jindou was confused again. Although he didn't quite understand, he noticed a few key words, "evil young man" and "Qi Ying". As for words like "when convenient", "by the way", "if", etc., he automatically ignored them.

What the emperor said is convenient or inconvenient for you. By the way, if you can't do it well, then there is nothing to say, unless these people are wronged!

An idea flashed through Wang Jindou's mind instantly.

"Since the Emperor has said so, the tone has been set. Whether or not to investigate is irrelevant!

But if these people are truly wronged, what should I do? Should I follow the Emperor's wishes, or should I save my official hat first?"

He soon came up with his own answer. If he wanted to wrongly accuse someone, he would rather resign from his job. At worst, he could go home and roast sweet potatoes!

"I will definitely investigate thoroughly!"

Yining saw through his thoughts.

"Do you think I'll let you violate my principles?"

"Uh……"

"Hahahaha!"

Yining laughed out loud.

"I want you to be a judge who is not disturbed by any external factors. How could I possibly interfere with your work? I just don't want to make things difficult for you. I wonder if other factors might affect your judgment of the case!"

Wang Jindou's heart was in turmoil again. He thought, could the emperor read minds? How could he know everything?

But he said,

"I won't!"

Yining knew that he was not lying and said with a smile,

"I trust you. When it comes time to confiscate the property, ask Yi Guofang for help. He has experience!"

Wang Jindou thought to himself, how come the emperor has already determined that they are guilty and wants to confiscate their property before the trial? He was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you must be sure that they are guilty!"

Yining smiled,

"I have already made up my mind, but you still have to do your job meticulously. I need you to find excuses for them!"

Wang Jindou was even more puzzled.

"You asked me to find excuses for them. Does the emperor not want the criminals to be brought to justice?"

Yining knew that he had not explained himself clearly and Wang Jindou had misunderstood him.

"That's not the case. Even though I know he's guilty, I still have to presume him innocent.

We must use concrete evidence to refute our presumption of innocence and prove their guilt. This is the only way to ensure the greatest fairness before the law and prevent false charges. Do you think I am right?"

Wang Jindou was extremely smart and understood it after a little thought. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Our dynasty is so fortunate to have an emperor who values ​​evidence and fairness so highly!"

Yining personally helped him up.

"Lord Wang, of course I don't want to let a bad guy go, but I also don't want to wrongly accuse any good person. You have to do these things!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will investigate the case thoroughly!"

Yining Road,

"It's not just one case, it's any case. It's not just you. I want you to train thousands and thousands of you to stand up for the people of the world. Do you understand?"

Wang Jindou suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy.

He said solemnly,

"I understand!"

"Kneel down!"

After leaving the palace, Wang Jindou felt sorry for Ma Yu and the others. How did you offend the emperor and make him keep his eyes on you? You deserve to have your heads chopped off!

It’s better that you are wrongly accused, otherwise, even God won’t be able to save you!

After Wang Jindou left, Prince Gong came to see him by imperial decree.

Yining asked,

"Sixth brother, how are your preparations going?"

"Your Majesty, I have everything ready and can depart on time!"

"Haha, okay, I'm going to give you a farewell banquet today. Let's go see Mother first!"

When we arrived at the Cining Palace, the Imperial Concubine Dowager was eagerly waiting!

After the two of them had paid their respects to the Imperial Concubine Dowager, the Imperial Concubine Dowager asked them to take a seat and said to the others,

"All of you go out, don't come in if you don't have anything to do!"

The servants knew that the mother and her two daughters had something private to say, so they all left.

The Queen Dowager said seriously,

"Xin'er, kneel down!"

Prince Gong didn't understand why, but he was very filial and quickly knelt down.

"Mother, what do you want?"

He thought he was about to go on a diplomatic mission to the West, and his mother had something to tell him!

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager's face was as gloomy as water.

"The Emperor is here too. Tell your mother what you and Qi Ying and the others did."

"boom!"

Prince Gong suddenly felt as if there was a thunderclap above his head.

"Mother, where did you get this from?"

The Imperial Concubine said angrily,

"Hmph, don't even think about hiding this from me. You've always been close to Qi Ying, Mu Zhang'a, and the others. They're trying to murder your brother, the Emperor. Don't you know anything about this?"
