That night, Yan Xiwen couldn't sleep.
Qin Mowen and Ning Yuchun were also having trouble falling asleep. Even Nangong Yiyu, a retired old man, felt something strange about the new emperor.
Yan Xiwen thought more about this matter than anyone else because he had spent the longest time with Fu Xiaoguan and understood best what Fu Xiaoguan once said——
The law is the criterion!
What it maintains is actually the most basic moral bottom line!
Anyone who violates the law must be punished by it. Only in this way can the world be fair!
Even after Fu Xiaoguan ascended the throne as emperor, he proposed the idea that everyone is equal before the law. This idea was written into Daxia's "Constitution"!
The "Constitution" clearly stipulates that imperial power cannot be higher than the law!
Imperial power must also abide by the constraints of the law!
This was an unprecedented event in Yan Xiwen's view, because all the laws of the past dynasties were actually used to restrain the people or the officials below.
No law is binding on imperial power, and imperial power is always above the law.
He said that such a power structure meant that those who held imperial power could change the law at will, negate the judgments made by the law, interfere with the execution of the law, and make the original sacred law worthless. .
Now, Fu Xiaoguan was extremely worried that something was happening, and it happened to the new emperor Wu Tianci!
Perhaps in Wu Tianci’s view, this is a trivial matter——
He is the emperor after all, and wanting to pardon someone is not even a matter of a word from the emperor!
In the past, this was not wrong.
But now...Wu Tianci was completely wrong!
Then Yan Xiwen thought that Wu Tianci had not recalled Tuoba Wang since he came to the throne. The two should not have interacted at least now... Could it be that Tuoba Wang wrote a private letter to beg him?
By the way, he suddenly had an extra fifty million taels of silver...
Yan Xiwen didn't dare to think about it. If this was really the case, it would be terrible, because the emperor's move had seriously violated the criminal law!
He is taking bribes!
The dignified Emperor of Daxia accepted bribes... If Fu Xiaoguan knew about this, how would he feel?
Of course this is just a guess, but what Yan Xiwen wants is to meet Ji Yungui, the master of Tianji Pavilion, and to trace the source of the huge sum of fifty million taels of silver from unknown sources!
……
……
The next day, Yan Xiwen went to the imperial study room with the road network plan for the two cross-mountain roads revised by the Ministry of Revenue.
Wu Tianci was in the imperial study room. He was leaning over his desk and looking at a book on the table.
Liu Jin bowed and stood beside him and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan wants to see you."
"Oh... go and ask Prime Minister Yan to sit down for a while, and I will take a look at the design of this courtyard to see if there is anything missing."
Yan Xiwen sat in front of the tea table and saw Wu Tianci writing and drawing on the desk. After waiting for half an hour, Wu Tianci put down the pen in his hand, with a look of joy on his face. meaning.
"This is perfect. There must be some interesting things in the other courtyard. I added an animal room inside... Well, give this drawing to the Ministry of Engineering and let them build it according to this design."
"After it is completed, send people to various parts of Daxia to capture those ferocious beasts and keep them in the animal houses. I have nothing to do to practice archery in my free time!"
He handed the booklet to Liu Jin, who bowed and stepped back, and then he sat opposite Yan Xiwen.
"Xiang Yan, what's the matter?"
"I have two things to ask the Emperor."
Wu Tianci made a pot of tea and said, "Mr. Yan, please speak."
"Firstly, the design of the road network for the two mountain crossings has been completed. After the emperor has approved it, it can be submitted to the cabinet for review."
Wu Tianci raised his eyebrows, "What's the second thing?"
Yan Xiwen took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Tuoba Changhuan collided with the emperor back then. He carried a gun with the intention of murdering the emperor!"
Wu Tianci’s hand holding the teapot suddenly paused. He frowned and raised his head to look at Yan Xiwen.
Looking at each other, Yan Xiwen said again: "According to the trial of the Ministry of Punishment, carrying a gun is a serious crime. In addition, almost killing the emperor, this is a crime plus one and the sentence is to be executed immediately!"
"The Supreme Emperor was thinking that Tuoba Wang was the governor of the Xixia Autonomous Region. In addition, Tuoba Changhuan didn't know that it was the Supreme Emperor's affection. He defended Tuoba Changhuan, so he was lightly sentenced to three Years in prison."
"I heard that the emperor wants to pardon Tuoba Changhuan... Your Majesty, this is against the law. Please don't ignore the law for such a trivial matter!"
Wu Tianci gently put down the teapot and did not put it on the stove to cook.
He also withdrew his gaze and did not look at Yan Xiwen again.
He looked out the door.
There is a steady spring rain outside the door.
"What does Prime Minister Yan mean... If I want to pardon a person, I need to get approval from the Ministry of Punishment, and do I need to go through a cabinet vote?"
"No, according to Daxia's Constitution, Your Majesty does not have the power to pardon any sinner!"
Silence.
The silence on Wu Tianci's face gradually turned into anger.
He was still staring at Chunyu outside the door, but his cheeks were bulging. He swallowed and took a deep breath, intending to suppress the anger in his heart.
However, he failed to suppress it after all.
He stood up suddenly, picked up the teapot on the table, and dropped it to the ground with a "bang...!"
"You... bullied me too much!"
He stared at Yan Xiwen, with undisguised anger in his eyes, "You, you, you, relying on your friendship with your father, are deliberately trying to turn me into a puppet!"
"You have ulterior motives, none of you are good people!"
"Your Majesty!"
Yan Xiwen yelled, startling Wu Tianci.
"What? Yan Xiwen, you still want to rebel...someone...come...!"
The imperial guards rushed into the imperial study. Wu Tianci pointed at Yan Xiwen: "I order you to capture this traitor!"
The commander of the imperial guard took a look and realized that he was done, this was the dignified Prime Minister Yan!
Why did he collide with the emperor?
This person can’t take it!
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't you even listen to what I say?"
"Your Majesty!" Yan Xiwen stood up at this moment and bowed: "Your Majesty also needs to be reasonable. I dare to ask Your Majesty, which article of the law did I violate?"
Wu Tianci suddenly choked, "You, you are guilty!"
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daxia, but I am extremely disappointed with you!"
"The emperor can do anything to me, but I still ask the emperor to take care of himself!"
"My sincere words are for the long-term peace and stability of the Great Xia, for the great country that the First Emperor has worked so hard to conquer can be passed down to generations, and for the people of the world to enjoy peace forever!"
"I have worked with the First Emperor for many years. Even if they quarreled, it was because of Daxia's political opinions! But your Majesty labeled me a criminal... I dare to ask your Majesty, have you read the Constitution?"
"If Your Majesty wants to abolish the "Constitution" compiled by the First Emperor... I will naturally oppose it. As for what crime Your Majesty will punish me, that's up to you!"
"This first matter is very urgent and involves the rural revitalization plan. I would like to ask the emperor to approve it and send it to the cabinet for review!"
Wu Tianci's face turned red, he stared at Yan Xiwen fiercely, and then walked away.
"I disagree!"
