My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 538 - 351: Secretariat Encounters the Old

Chang'an.

Recently, Li Nuo's name often appears in the mouths of the common people.

Previously, when he was mentioned, it was mostly because he was the son of the Minister of Justice.

But this time, he relied on his own ability.

After serving as an envoy to Zhao Country for half a year, he successfully supported the Empress's succession, was conferred the title of First Grade King, presided over various reforms in Zhao Country, and although named the envoy of Daxia, he was actually the Regent King of Zhao Country, and privately pledged his life to the Empress.

This is almost the pinnacle that a civil servant can achieve, which scholar does not fantasize about all this?

There are even rumors that he has been living with the Empress for a long time, and she is already carrying his child...

Zhao Country, like Daxia, is also one of the Five Great Dynasties.

His achievements and status have actually surpassed his father.

In Daxia, he is the son of Li Xuanjing.

If in Zhao Country, people would only say Li Xuanjing is the father of the King of different surnames, Li Nuo.

The courtiers are more informed than the common people, and by the next day at the office, they had already learned from their colleagues that after several transfers within the three provinces, Li Nuo had returned to Chang'an.

Half a year ago, when he became an envoy, he was still a Standard Fifth Rank Minister of Justice.

In half a year as an envoy, he was promoted two levels, serving as Assistant Minister of Justice and Scheeren of the Secretariat.

According to officials in the Secretariat, as Scheeren of the Secretariat, he is not under the jurisdiction of the Assistant Minister of the Secretariat, reporting directly to the Left Prime Minister, and he can avoid adhering to the fixed timings of going to the office and ending work, this kind of power is only possessed by officials of Standard Third Rank and above within the court.

Many people who feared the presence of father and son in the same court, finally saw it happen.

Li Xuanjing oversee the Ministry of Justice and Spiegel Bureau, the Ministry of Justice falls under his son Li Nuo, Li Nuo holds the position of Scheeren of the Secretariat, can participate in central decision-making, writing his own memos and approving them himself, this kind of power, is no different from the Prime Minister.

Strangely, the Right Prime Minister, who has always suppressed Li Nuo, did not raise any objection this time.

It can be foreseen that the future court of Daxia may truly become a one-man show of the Li Family.

Ningxin Garden.

Su Qing had just returned from outside and heard the people of Chang'an discussing Li Nuo.

About his private promise to the Empress, how she is already pregnant with his child...

Of course, the various rumors about him are best confirmed directly by him.

She glanced at Li Nuo, and asked: "What's with you and the Empress of Zhao Country, why does everyone outside say you have privately pledged your lives?"

Li Nuo explained: "Those are all baseless stories, if you don't believe me, ask Yiren, she knows everything."

Song Yiren nodded and said: "These are all idle rumors from the people of Zhao Country, the Empress of Zhao Country has no relationship with him."

She sneered at these rumors, when in Zhao Country, she shared a bed with him, if Zhiyi had any relationship with him, wouldn't she know?

Upon hearing this, Su Qing did not ask further.

With Yiren by his side, he probably wouldn't have acted recklessly, it seems she wrongly blamed Yiren before.

The pledge of life is false, the Empress being pregnant with his child is naturally more nonsense.

After the meal, Li Nuo took a walk with Jiaren and Anning.

Upon returning this time, he did not see Phoenix.

According to Anning, Phoenix left Chang'an half a month ago to look for new musicians elsewhere.

Now Phoenix, besides Jade Sound Pavilion, also owns Sky Sound Courtyard and Happy Building, almost monopolizing Chang'an's high-end entertainment industry.

Since she took over, Sky Sound Courtyard and Happy Building have turned into pure Music Workshops, but their business has been better than before.

Officials in Chang'an, who earlier would go to brothels with fear, afraid of being taken to the Ministry of Justice for reflection, now can visit these places openly.

They offer only the service of listening to music and appreciating dance, the imperial examination even tests Music, how can the court forbid their exchange of Music with the ladies?

With more courtiers visiting, wealthy families in Chang'an, scholars from various academies, also treat it as an elegant affair, many musicians among them have even changed their fate by this, successfully entering noble families, even as a concubine, they can enjoy endless wealth and honor for a lifetime.

In these two days, besides spending time with Jiaren and Anning at home, Li Nuo also took time to visit the Ministry of Justice.

After almost half a year, the Ministry of Justice had accumulated considerable dossiers, although after entering the Fifth Realm, handling these ordinary cases contributed little to the improvement of cultivation, it was still better than nothing.

Besides, revising the "Daxia Law" is a pressing matter.

The imprisonment term in Zhao Country has extended to thirty years, while the maximum in Daxia is still only three years, this greatly impacts the rate of his lifespan increase.

The lifespan needed to redeem various abilities is terrifyingly high, Li Nuo's current ten thousand plus days of lifespan would vanish with a casual exchange for Sixth Realm cultivation, this number needs multiplying several times for him to feel secure.

The scope of Redemption can also be tightened.

He does not intend to abolish Redemption right away, such matters cannot be achieved overnight.

Everyone has selfish desires, the officials of the court are all beneficiaries of Redemption, asking them to betray their class, the resistance encountered would be unimaginable.

Even pushing Redemption forward one step would be a significant progress.

Afterwards, it can be gradually contracted until completely abolished.

With his experience in Zhao Country, Li Nuo quickly revised the new Daxia Law.

Of course, Daxia is not Zhao Country, with just an imperial decree from the Empress, the new law can replace the old one.

According to procedure, as an Assistant Minister of Justice, to revise the Laws, he must first obtain the Chief of Staff's consent, then submit the new law to the Ministry of Justice in the name of the Ministry of Justice.
